Di Tianyao looked at Ye Li and nodded slightly, then asked: "What exactly happened to him?"
He said this to the ten inner court elders, his tone full of majesty. Just by listening to him speak, Ye Li felt the urge to worship him.
“Lord City Lord, he is a disciple who just joined the Imperial City this year, but he is not on the list of those we invited to participate in the city entrance trial.
He was a temporary recruit when Qi Wei was in Paradise City, and then sent here to participate in the city entry test."
When Xia Ji heard Di Tianyao’s words, he explained to him immediately.
After hearing Xia Ji's words and seeing Ye Li wearing the Earth-level disciple uniform, Di Tianyao frowned and said, "He was temporarily recruited by Elder Qi, so why is he wearing the Earth-level disciple uniform?"
Hearing his words, Xia Ji hurriedly said, "His earth-level status was also directly given by Qi Wei, Mei Ruoxiang and others.
It is said that because he once saved Caiyi's life, Mei Ruoxiang thought he was worthy of the status of a ground-level disciple, so she gave it to him directly. "
After hearing Xia Ji's explanation, Di Tianyao raised his eyebrows, then looked at Qi Wei and said, "Elder Qi, what is going on? Why did you recruit him temporarily and directly give him the status of an Earth-level disciple?"
As he spoke, there was a questioning look in Di Tianyao's expression.
Hearing Di Tianyao's question, Qi Wei hurriedly explained what happened in Paradise City before, and then told Di Tianyao about Ye Li saving Dongfang Caiyi.
Upon hearing this, Di Tianyao snorted coldly and said, "How dare someone come to stop the ship and question our Imperial City's selection criteria
When encountering such things, Elder Qi, you don't need to pay any attention to them. When we do things in the Imperial City, do we need to pay attention to other people's opinions!
Our selection criteria have been in place for many years. Would we change them just because someone questioned them
Also, can the status of an Earth-level disciple be given away casually
Among the great contributions made to the sect, does saving Caiyi’s life include
You are all the inner court elders of the sect, how are these decisions made?"
Hearing Di Tianyao's repeated questions, Qi Wei knew that he was angry, and suddenly looked a little panicked.
“My Lord City Lord, when I was in Paradise City, I was also thinking that some people would question the selection criteria of my Imperial City, so I used this method to prove it to the world.
The standard I set at that time was definitely not low. The fact that Ye Li was able to pass it was indeed a test of his ability.
Moreover, the subsequent trial to enter the city also proved his own ability. He indeed defeated other participants and successfully joined the Imperial City.
As for her later status as a ground-level disciple, we think that Caiyi is the princess of our city and represents the face of our imperial city.
If Caiyi died outside for no reason, it would definitely affect the dignity of our Imperial City.
Ye Li saved Cai Yi's life, which means he made great contributions to the dignity of our Imperial City, so we rewarded him with the status of a ground-level disciple."
After hearing Qi Wei's explanation, Di Tianyao's expression became more serious.
“Humph, if someone questions our Imperial City, we have to step forward to explain. Do you think we are vendors in the market
According to convention, we have no obligation to explain the selection criteria for the city entry trial to anyone, which means that this person's qualification for the city entry trial itself does not meet the regulations.
As for the later status of Earth-level disciples, I think there is no need to discuss it at all, and it is naturally against the rules. "
When Xia Ji saw Di Tianyao's expression, he was immediately delighted and quickly spoke.
When Di Tianyao heard Xia Ji's words, he nodded. This was exactly what he wanted to say.
Originally, if Xia Ji had just said this, Qi Wei, Mei Ruoxiang and others would not care at all, but Di Tianyao had already nodded in person, agreeing with Xia Ji's opinion, so they had no right to question it at all.
“Elder Qi, you also know that my Imperial City has the most important rules.
Since he does not meet the requirements for the city entrance test, he cannot stay in the Imperial City now. His status as an Imperial City disciple must be revoked and he must be expelled from the city."
Di Tianyao looked at Qi Wei and spoke.
Hearing his words, Ye Li was shocked. He thought that the other party would at most deprive him of his status as an Earth-level disciple. He did not expect that the other party would also deprive him of his status as an Imperial City disciple.
"My Lord City Lord, this... How can this be possible
I was the one who allowed Ye Li to take part in the trial to enter the city. He did not do anything illegal. We allowed him to pass the trial to enter the city and defeat the other participants.
Then he will be qualified to join the Imperial City and become our disciple.
If we suddenly deprive him of his status now, wouldn't that damage our reputation and make us look like people who don't keep their word?"
When Qi Wei heard what Di Tianyao said, he was shocked and started to argue.
Mei Ruoxiang and others immediately agreed and asked Di Tianyao to retract his decision.
After hearing what they said, Di Tianyao seemed unmoved and said, “As one of the four holy places, our Imperial City naturally has our own rules, and everything must be done according to the rules.
We did not follow the regulations before and made mistakes, so we must correct them now according to the regulations.
As for what other people think, what does it have to do with my Imperial City? If we have to look at other people's faces even to make a decision, what kind of emperors are we
There is no room for negotiation on this matter, he must leave the Imperial City now.
However, this matter is not his responsibility after all, so we will not deprive him of the qualification to participate in the trial to enter the city again.
As long as his requirements meet our selection criteria, we will send him an invitation and he can come back to participate in the trial to enter the city again.
But by then, it will be impossible for me to be a ground-level disciple anymore, and I will have to start from the yellow level like everyone else."
Hearing his words, Ye Li felt a faint resentment rising in his heart.
Although his status as an Earth-level disciple was indeed somewhat forced, his status as an Imperial City disciple was something he had worked hard for. How could it be taken away from him now
However, before he could open his mouth to argue for himself, Qi Wei signaled Ye Li with his eyes not to speak.
"Lord City Lord, please think twice about this matter. After all, Ye Li has passed our entry test. He is qualified to join our Imperial City directly.
And judging from his age and ability, he is definitely qualified to be invited by us to participate in the test, so it is not considered a violation of the rules. "
Xue Ziping also spoke up to help Ye Li, after all, Ye Li was a disciple of his old friend.
When Di Tianyao heard what they said, he couldn't help but get a little angry and said, "Humph, according to the rules, I have the final say in the Inner Court Elders' Meeting.
Now that the final decision on this matter has been made, you don't need to say more. I naturally have my reasons, and you just need to execute it. "
