Watching everyone gaze at her, Qi'er blushed slightly and glared, saying, "What's there to see? Sister Ye is also very kind to me, her promotion is nothing inappropriate. Besides, her talent is sufficient, she was formerly the Female Sword Saint, a person qualified to aspire to the rank of the Strongest. Whether through Sister Ye's own gifts or the Female Sword Saint's legacy, she indeed has the qualification to ascend to the rank of the Strongest."
"Those old folks are hard to choose from, so pick one from among the young people to avoid criticism. What's wrong with that?"
Upon hearing this, several of the Strongest nodded in agreement—indeed, it's not a bad idea. Unable to choose from the elderly, being selected from the younger generation will leave no grounds for complaint.
"I think what the Palace Master said makes sense; Ye Wantong truly is a promising talent!" Buddha Venerable nodded.
"I think so too, choosing her indeed seems suitable," Taoist Venerable agreed.
