After Zhou Zheng Hall and the others arrived, the seven peaks of Taotian Palace began selecting suitable disciples to participate in the triennial Martial Arts Conference. With Ye Qingchen's return, Taotian Palace, which had been somewhat dormant, was infused with some vitality.
Originally, Ye Qingchen planned to head straight to the Martial Arts Conference, but before he could set off, an order was issued, requiring him to take the selected disciples to the conference.
Accompanying him were Three-star Elder Li Yixing, Two-star Elder Ding Fuhai, and several other One-star Elders. However, Li Yixing, on some whim, insisted that Ye Qingchen also lead the team to the conference.
"I'm not going!"
Ye Qingchen glanced at the command placed in front of him and refused outright without a second thought.
He planned to go to the Martial Arts Conference himself and had no intention of bringing along a few frail and sickly individuals, plus a large group of hangers-on.
