"Ahem."
Ye Qiu coughed twice, interrupting Xiao Wu and the other girls' bickering.
"Miss Meng,"
before Ye Qiu could say anything more
, Meng Yiran was already planning to leave; the pressure of standing there was too great.
"Sisters, and younger sisters..."
Although she knew calling Xiao Lan "younger sister" would displease her, Meng Yiran still did it.
She was going to be Ye Qiu's woman;
how could she call him "younger sister" or "older sister"?
That was definitely unacceptable.
"I...I'll go first."
After saying this, Meng Yiran looked at Ye Qiu again.
"Ye Qiu, can I come often? Will it bother you?"
"No, we all welcome you."
Liu Erlong suddenly spoke, silencing Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu who were about to say something.
"Erlong?"
Ye Qiu looked at Liu Erlong in confusion.
Liu Erlong smiled, shook her head, and gestured for Ye Qiu to remain silent.
Zhu Zhuqing also glanced at Liu Erlong in surprise, then nodded with a smile.
"Yes, your husband won't be unwelcome. You can come and play with us sisters."
"Thank you, Sister Zhuqing, and this eldest sister too!"
Meng Yiran happily thanked Zhu Zhuqing, then quickly added the word "elder sister" to Liu Erlong, seeing Liu Erlong's displeased expression. She
then ran towards her beast academy.
Liu Erlong then explained to the other sisters and Ye Qiu,
"Husband, I think you can't refuse this girl. She's too proactive; she already considers herself your woman."
Ye Qiu didn't refute her.
It was indeed hard to refuse; even if he refused, the girl might not listen.
After all, the fickle Ye Qiu
always gave every interested girl hope of success.
The various beauties around him were the best proof.
Since they were all capable, could he join them?
"Also, if I heard correctly, Rongrong said that Meng Yiran is the granddaughter of the Peerless Dragon and Snake Clan. Doesn't her husband own a Soul Hall? Maybe we could add another branch to the Soul Hall. That old couple's Martial Soul Fusion Technique is comparable to a Title Douluo; they're a very powerful force!"
Liu Erlong's words made Ning Rongrong and the others' eyes light up. Indeed, experience counts!
"Let's talk about this later. Meng Yiran and I aren't even officially together yet! Besides, the Peerless Dragon and Snake Clan are a family-based force. It's unlikely they'll join my Soul Hall, and it would be quite complicated to operate."
Ye Qiu scratched his head. He couldn't understand this kind of thing.
Moreover, he wasn't involved in managing the Soul Hall.
He was merely a coordinator, bringing together the three single-attribute clans, plus the Craftsman's Hall.
Even other matters were self-sufficient for them.
However, he hadn't completely ignored Liu Erlong's words. Although he couldn't use this power now, it didn't mean he wouldn't in the future.
Perhaps... members of the Soul Hall will also shine on the battlefield in the future?
"Hmph! As for the things that this stinky guy is managing, once I gradually take over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I can help him out. Just give me a position as Vice Hall Master then."
Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, her words full of consideration for Ye Qiu.
"Haha, I can help too. Just have them call me Hall Master's Wife."
Dugu Yan chuckled, her eyes filled with seductive allure as she stared at Ye Qiu.
"You stinky woman! Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble! Hall Master's Wife? You might as well be my Vice Hall Master's wife!"
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, glaring hatefully at Dugu Yan.

"Alright! You two stop arguing. I'll bring you both over, and they'll naturally know our relationship."
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes helplessly and hugged the two girls.
"How about Xiao Qiu opens another branch in the Soul Hall for us to use?"
Xiao Wu suddenly suggested. As the elder sister Xiao Wu, she didn't have any decent younger brothers, how could that be?!
Liu Erlong smiled and advised Xiao Wu:
"We can set up a branch first, but if you want to recruit people, you can recruit from the other branches when you're stronger, or you can bring the outstanding graduates from Blue Tyrant Academy." "Whatever
, Rongrong and you can manage it from now on. I really don't want to deal with these troublesome things."
Ye Qiu didn't object to their opinions. What was his was Rongrong's and the others'
, they could divide it up as they pleased. "Of course, don't fight amongst yourselves, or I'll punish you according to family rules!"
Ye Qiu warned.
He especially glanced at Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan.
Although they were just minor conflicts, it was hard to say when a bigger problem might arise.
"Hmph! I wish you'd enforce the family rules on me sooner."
Ning Rongrong pouted.
"..."
Ye Qiu helplessly rubbed his forehead. It seemed he really wasn't suited to be a leader; he had no authority whatsoever.
"Puhaha, don't worry, husband, I'll keep an eye on my sisters."
Liu Erlong laughed.
"I'll keep an eye on Yanzi."
Ye Lingling also assured him.
"..."
Ye Qiu and his group didn't watch the rest of the matches.
They chatted the whole time.
They were arguably the most unrestrained and carefree team in the entire arena.
Even the VIP seats were mostly filled with Ye Qiu's people, or those who favored him, so naturally no one dared to say anything to him.
In the subsequent matches,
the three teams that qualified from Tiandou City—Tianshui, Shenfeng, and Leiting—each won.
The undefeated record of the five Soul Master Academy teams representing the Tiandou Empire greatly pleased Emperor Xueye.
He immediately announced a reward of 1,000 gold soul coins for each winning academy.
Even the losing academies would receive a reward of 500 gold soul coins.
After all the matches on the first day were completed...
Adhering to the principles of fairness and impartiality, the deans of each academy had to draw lots on stage.
The team Blue Tyrant Academy would face on the second day was the Blazing Fire Academy team, comprised of Huo Wu, who had shown some prowess in the first match and even challenged Ye Qiu .
Aside from Ye Qiu, Xiao Wu and the other girls naturally didn't feel anything, except for Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan, who occasionally gave him warnings or resentful looks.
The Blazing Fire team, however, looked troubled.
Because the qualifying matches were held daily, encountering a strong team early on, and potentially suffering a serious injury, would inevitably affect their later matches
. They could only lament their bad luck.
They hoped that Blue Tyrant Academy would go easy on them, considering they were in the same region.
Only
Huo Wu wasn't worried; in fact, she was secretly pleased to have encountered Ye Qiu early.
She could use her best
to show Ye Qiu the changes she had undergone after a month of hard work!
She wanted him to take notice!
