After taking the storage ring, a smile finally appeared on Bao'er's small face. As if thinking of something, she turned her head to look at the outer - sect disciples below the stage, and her face immediately turned cold again. She said, "Old man, I'm not a difficult person. Just now, they not only didn't plan to give me the energy stones but also wanted to kill me to silence me. Such disciples have a bad character and are far inferior to the little servant!"

"Yes, yes!" The round - faced elder nodded quickly and then said softly, "Then, Bao'er, can we end this matter like this?" The reason they had gathered the energy stones was to make Bao'er calm down and take back what she had said earlier. They couldn't afford to offend the Talisman Peak!

"No, I'm going to find my grandpa and let him handle this. You're all doomed." Bao'er glared at the round - faced elder, angrily. She had never been bullied like this since she was a child. Today, these outer - sect disciples actually wanted to kill her to silence her. She couldn't swallow this anger!

Hearing that Bao'er still wanted to find her grandpa, the four old men on the Life - and - Death Platform had their faces twitch. They thought to themselves, 'How can you be like this? You took the things but still won't let it go. Isn't this bullying us?'

Suddenly, the round - faced elder looked at Yang Ye beside Bao'er. After a moment of hesitation, he walked to Yang Ye's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You're Yang Ye. Truly, heroes come from the young. You actually defeated Duan Jun, who is at the eighth rank of Profound Practitioner. That's remarkable..."

Yang Ye's expression was a bit strange. He knew this elder. His name was Feng Yu, and he was a very powerful elder in the outer - sect. It was this old man and the other two beside him who had said he was the number - one useless person in the Sword Sect and had mocked Elder Qian for being muddle - headed. Now, he was here to praise him.

Yang Ye turned his head to glance at Bao'er. He was becoming more and more curious about Bao'er's identity. Of course, he knew that this elder was praising him in the hope that he could persuade Bao'er. However, Yang Ye wouldn't persuade her easily. He thought it would be good to let Bao'er torment these old men for a while.

"Of course. You should know who the little servant is friends with." At this time, Bao'er walked to Yang Ye's side, nodded at the round - faced elder, and said, "Old man, although you're not good - looking, you have good eyes. The little servant is really powerful. Your disciples are all stupid. They didn't believe he could win. They're so stupid!"

There's hope!

Except for Elder Qian, the four outer - sect elders on the field exchanged glances, and their hearts were filled with joy. The round - faced elder said with a smile, "Yes, yes. He's a genius. Defeating an eighth - rank Profound Practitioner at the sixth rank of Profound Practitioner. He's a real genius, a great genius!"

"Feng Yu, didn't you say before that I was muddle - headed and had recruited the number - one useless person in history? So, when did Yang Ye become a great genius in your eyes?" At this time, Elder Qian beside him sneered. He still remembered the faces of these old men when Yang Ye hadn't become a Profound Practitioner. Even now, the elders beside him still used Yang Ye's past to mock him. Now that he had the opportunity to slap them in the face, he of course wouldn't miss it.

Hearing Elder Qian's words, the other four outer - sect elders were all shocked. Feng Yu looked at Yang Ye and said, "You, you're that Yang Ye? The Yang Ye who didn't become a Profound Practitioner in a year?"

Yang Ye nodded.

Seeing Yang Ye nod, the expressions of the several elders became unnatural. They had indeed said those words before. In the outer - sect, it was normal for the elders to fight and bicker with each other. If Yang Ye wasn't friends with Bao'er, even if he had reached the sixth rank of Profound Practitioner now, they wouldn't have taken him seriously. But now, this former number - one useless person was the little devil's friend, and the person most likely to make the little devil take back what she had said!

The several elders were in a dilemma. Should they ask for help? They couldn't bring themselves to do it. If they didn't, this little devil would go back and tell the old devil, and then the outer - sect would be in big trouble.

"Old man, you said Yang Ye was the number - one useless person in history?" At this time, Bao'er looked at Feng Yu with an unfriendly gaze. She had just said that this old man had good eyes, but she didn't expect that he had said Yang Ye was the number - one useless person in history. If the metal - attribute, the most powerful one among the Five - Element Profound Qi, was considered useless, then what was her wood - attribute? Bao'er was a bit angry.

Feng Yu forced an awkward smile and said, "No, it was us old men who were muddle - headed. We were muddle - headed. We apologize..."

"Old Qian, we apologize to you for this. You know, it's normal for us old men to bicker. Don't take it to heart..."

"Yes, Yang Ye reached the sixth rank of Profound Practitioner in a short time. Such talent can definitely be considered as that of a genius. It was us who were muddle - headed back then. Old Qian, don't hold it against us."

"Old Qian, Yang Ye is half your disciple. Since Yang Ye is your disciple and also Bao'er's friend, in the end, we and Bao'er are like one family. Ha ha..."

"Yes, we're all one family. It was all a misunderstanding just now. Just a misunderstanding..."

The several elders, of course, couldn't apologize to a servant disciple. They couldn't lower themselves to do that. So, they could only apologize to Elder Qian.

Seeing the several elders apologize, Yang Ye found it a bit funny. However, he didn't show any signs of pride. He knew that these elders were apologizing only because of Bao'er. Otherwise, even if he had reached the eighth rank of Profound Practitioner now, he might still be a dispensable disciple in the eyes of these elders.

If he wanted these elders to truly respect him and realize that they had been wrong in the past, he could only pass the outer - sect disciple trial and prove himself with his strength!

Elder Qian didn't act like a small - minded person who had just achieved success. He also understood this truth. If it weren't for Bao'er, these old fellows would never have bowed their heads to him. Although he felt very relieved, he had endured a lot of anger from these old fellows in the past year.

Knowing when to stop, Yang Ye took Bao'er's hand, walked to the side, and said, "Bao'er, how about you take back what you said just now?"

"Is it that if I take back what I said, they won't look down on you anymore?" Looking at Yang Ye, Bao'er blinked and asked. She wasn't stupid. Of course, she knew that those old men had suddenly apologized because of her.

Yang Ye nodded and smiled, "Yes. If Bao'er takes back what she said because of me, they will surely owe me a favor, and I will surely get a lot of care in the outer - sect in the future."

Bao'er pondered for a moment, then nodded with a smile. She took Yang Ye's hand and walked up to the five nervous outer - sect elders. She said, "You old men, this matter is over for now. But I'm telling you, I'm doing this for the little servant's sake. If you dare to bully me again in the future, humph, humph!" The two 'humphs' clearly showed her threat.

Hearing this, the hearts of the several outer - sect elders immediately relaxed. Feng Yu quickly said, "No, definitely not. If anyone dares to disrespect Bao'er in the future, I'll slap him to death!" As he said this, Feng Yu moved his wrist, and a long sword appeared in his hand. He handed it to Yang Ye and said, "Young man Yang, this is a high - grade Yellow - rank Profound Iron Sword. I don't need it, so I'll give it to you!"

Seeing Feng Yu give away the long sword, Cao Huo beside him also took out a piece of iron armor and handed it to Yang Ye, saying, "This is Profound Iron Armor, high - grade Yellow - rank. I don't need it either. You should be able to use it, so here you go!"

"Here are ten Vein - Protecting Pills. They can better protect your meridians and allow your meridians to withstand intense training. Take them."

"This is a copy of the Yellow - rank Sword Formula, the Spirit - Separating Sword Skill. You can take it and practice it..."

In less than a moment, except for Elder Qian, each of the several outer - sect elders gave Yang Ye a treasure. Yang Ye hesitated for a moment and then accepted them all. He knew that these elders were trying to curry favor with him, and he also knew why. If he refused, these elders would surely think that he held a grudge, and he would surely get into trouble in the Sword Sect in the future.

After taking those things, Yang Ye turned his head to look at Bao'er, who was smiling beside him. He was very curious about Bao'er's identity. He knew that Talisman Inscribers were extremely noble, but these elders were clearly afraid of Bao'er's grandpa. Was Bao'er's grandpa a Earth - Talisman Inscriber? Or a Heaven - Talisman Inscriber?

Seeing that Yang Ye had taken those things, smiles appeared on the faces of the several elders. Yang Ye's talent might not be considered outstanding, but he knew Bao'er and could influence Bao'er's decisions. It was definitely right to build a good relationship with Yang Ye. They could tell from the smile on Bao'er's face when they gave gifts to Yang Ye!

"You old men are not bad!" Bao'er nodded at the several outer - sect elders, then looked at the outer - sect disciples below and said, "What are you going to do with them?" Bao'er wouldn't let those outer - sect disciples off easily.

At this time, Yang Ye also fell silent. These outer - sect elders hadn't done anything to harm Bao'er, so he had persuaded Bao'er. But those outer - sect disciples had wanted to kill Bao'er to silence her. This was something Yang Ye couldn't tolerate either. In his heart, Bao'er had long been his friend.

Hearing this, Feng Yu hesitated for a moment, then a fierce look flashed in his eyes. He turned his head to look at those outer - sect disciples and said, "All outer - sect disciples who participated in the gambling shall go to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive a hundred lashes, and then go to the Star Mine to mine for a month. All the things they obtain shall be handed over to the sect. Now, go immediately!"

Hearing Feng Yu's words, the faces of the outer - sect disciples below immediately turned deathly pale. A hundred lashes were still bearable. They would just be in pain for a few days. But the Star Mine was terrifying. That place was used to punish the Sword Sect disciples who had committed serious mistakes. There was no human rights there. Once they went there, they would suffer a great deal!

Seeing the expressions of the outer - sect disciples below, Feng Yu also felt a bit reluctant. But he knew that if the punishment was too light, this little devil in front of him would be dissatisfied and go back to tell the old devil on the Talisman Peak. Then, not only the outer - sect disciples but also the outer - sect elders would be in trouble. In the Sword Sect, even the Sect Master wouldn't easily offend that old devil.

"Humph!" Bao'er was still a bit dissatisfied and was about to say something when Yang Ye quickly took her little hand and walked outside.

Yang Ye knew that this punishment was already extremely severe. If Bao'er was still not satisfied, it might cause a backlash from those outer - sect disciples. Then, things would get out of hand. He didn't care about these outer - sect elders, but he cared about Elder Qian. He really didn't want Elder Qian to get hurt because of this matter.

Seeing Yang Ye pull Bao'er away, the several outer - sect elders on the field immediately let out a sigh of relief. Feng Yu looked at Elder Qian and said, "Old Qian, this time, we really owe this kid a lot. No need to say more. Consider it that we old fellows owe him a favor."

The other four also nodded in agreement. They knew that if the little devil was still not satisfied just now, they would really be in a difficult situation. After all, those outer - sect disciples below were all disciples of the Sword Sect. If the punishment was too severe, it might cause a backlash and even make these outer - sect disciples feel disheartened.

Yang Ye pulling Bao'er away had, without a doubt, helped them solve a big problem!
