The old woman, who knew Dongfang Caiyi's temper well, was stunned for a moment. She naturally knew that if Dongfang Caiyi spoke so firmly, it meant there was not much room for turning back.
Just as Dongfang Caiyi herself said, even if they didn't agree, she would still go to participate in the trial privately.
Even if they forcibly stopped Dongfang Caiyi, she would go to other places to challenge in order to test her actual combat strength.
The danger at that time will be beyond the control of this group of people. If something happens, they will not even be able to rescue in time.
The last time Dongfang Caiyi followed the Feng family to a ruins for a trial, after coming back she only told the old woman the general situation. The old woman knew that if no one had rescued her, Dongfang Caiyi would have almost died in the ruins.
From then on, she didn't dare to let Dongfang Caiyi go to dangerous places at will. After all, in her eyes, Dongfang Caiyi was like her granddaughter, and she couldn't accept anything happening to her.
Knowing that she couldn't persuade Dongfang Caiyi, the old woman could only nod and say, "Xiao Caiyi, if you insist on participating in the city entrance test, we can agree, but you must promise one thing. If you can't bear the danger, you must give up the test and never force yourself to go through with it."
Dongfang Caiyi nodded when she heard this, which comforted the old woman.
At this time, Xue Ziping had already walked to Ye Li and started talking to him.
Seeing his old friend's disciple again, Xue Ziping smiled a little and said, "Ye Li, I never thought I could see you here.
Last time I mentioned that when your strength grows and you become a little famous, I will recommend your name. As long as you pass the review, you will get the opportunity to participate in the trial to enter the city.
I really didn't expect that your breakthrough would be so fast. It hasn't been long since then, and you have leapt to the early stage of the Divine Coming Stage.
You didn't even wait for me to recommend you, but you passed Brother Qi's test and won a place in the city entrance trial. This really gives Qian Xie a good reputation."
Hearing Xue Ziping's words, Ye Li smiled and said, "Uncle Xue, I didn't expect to see you today.
I was also very surprised that I could break through to the Divine Descent Stage so quickly. It was by chance that I encountered the test set by Senior Qi in Paradise City.
I am extremely lucky to have this opportunity to participate in the city entrance test."
Hearing the conversation between the two, the old woman also noticed Ye Li. After giving him a few glances, she asked Xue Ziping, "Ziping, do you know this young man?"
Xue Ziping nodded and said, "Sister Mei, his name is Ye Li, and he is Ou Qianxie's new disciple. When I met him, he was only in the middle stage of the Spiritual Sea Stage. I didn't expect that he would reach the Descending God Stage in the blink of an eye.
This speed of cultivation is simply flying. Although I knew he had amazing potential, I didn’t expect him to be so extraordinary. He is truly an extraordinary young man.”
Hearing Xue Ziping's praise, the old woman not only said "Oh", but also looked at Ye Li curiously again.
Qi Wei also came over at this moment, looking at the old woman with a fawning face, and said: "Meimei, this little guy saved Xiao Caiyi's life in the ruins. Xiao Caiyi told me this herself."
Hearing Qi Wei's words, the old woman raised her eyebrows, and the look she gave Ye Li was different.
She turned her head and asked Dongfang Caiyi, "Little Caiyi, is what old man Qi said true? Is this young man the one who saved you in the ruins
Didn't you say that he was ambushed by that brat from the Feng family and fell into the Great Yin-Yang Forging Heaven Furnace? How did he come out alive?"
Dongfang Caiyi shook her head and said, "I don't know. He did fall into the furnace at the time, and I didn't expect him to survive."
While Dongfang Caiyi was speaking, she also looked at Ye Li. She really didn't expect that a person she thought was dead would appear in front of her again.
If she were to describe her current mood, Dongfang Caiyi didn't want to admit that she was actually feeling a little happy deep down in her heart.
It's just that she suppressed this emotion so well that no one noticed it at all.
After confirming that Ye Li was Dongfang Caiyi's savior, the old woman looked at Ye Li with eyes full of fondness, as if she was looking at her own descendant.
"Young man, I heard from Zi Ping that your name is Ye Li, right
I really didn't expect that you were the one who saved Xiao Caiyi's life.
As soon as I knew about this, I wanted to find you and thank you in person.
But Xiao Caiyi said that you had fallen into the Great Yin-Yang Casting Heaven Furnace. We all thought you were dead, and I sighed for a long time. Now that I know you are still alive, I have to thank you very much. "
Hearing the old woman's words, Ye Li clasped his fists and said, "Senior, you are too kind. Saving people is just a casual act for me. It doesn't count for much." The old woman tapped the ground lightly with her long staff and said, "Saving a life may seem like a piece of cake to you, but it is a great favor to us.
Xiao Caiyi is the princess of my Imperial City. You saved her life, so we will naturally be grateful to you.
Ye Li, listen carefully. If you can successfully get the top four places in this city entrance trial, even if you make a mistake and fail the second trial, I will find a way to get you into the Imperial City.
If you can pass both trials on your own and enter the Imperial City, I will find a way to upgrade you directly to a ground-level disciple."
Hearing her words, a dozen or so participants nearby burst into an uproar, looking at Ye Li with eyes full of envy and even jealousy.
Ye Li was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what the other party meant by Earth-level disciples, but he still bowed his head and thanked the other party.
Xue Ziping knew Ye Li's background, and thought that he might not understand what the earth-level disciples of the Imperial City meant, so he said: "Ye Li, the disciples of my Imperial City are divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow.
Generally speaking, disciples who have just passed two city entry trials and joined the Imperial City are only yellow-level disciples. Although they are called disciples, they are actually more like menial disciples and have a relatively low status in the Imperial City.
And as long as they fail to complete the sect's mission and cultivation tasks, they may be expelled from the city at any time. In other words, the yellow-level disciples are still in the observation period.
Only after a certain period of observation and determination of the true potential and ability for cultivation, can a Yellow-level disciple be gradually upgraded to a Xuanji disciple, that is, a formal disciple of the Imperial City.
Xuan-level disciples are basically outsiders, and their treatment and status are much worse than those of the native disciples of the Imperial City.
Of course, in addition to outsiders, there are also some native disciples who are not ambitious and will be demoted to Xuan-level disciples in the annual competition. "
