After Di Tianyao finished speaking, he did not give others a chance to make a judgment, and directly stood up and said: "This matter has been decided. I have other things to deal with. Elder Yu, let's go.
Elder Qi, please deal with his problem as soon as possible.
If he can pass the selection and get the chance to enter the city for trial, then he can come back again.
Except that his status as a ground-level disciple can no longer be restored, he can inherit his current contribution and contribution points, which is my extra compensation to him."
After finishing speaking, Di Tianyao no longer paid attention to Qi Wei and the others. He greeted the First Elder, turned around and left the Inner Court Elders' Hall.
Xia Ji and several other elders who had opposed Mei Ruoxiang giving Ye Li the quota for Earth-level disciples, now looked happy.
After looking at Qi Wei, Mei Ruoxiang and the others, Xia Ji and the other three stood up and said, "I have said before that his case is not in compliance with the regulations. Your actions are suspected of favoritism. The city lord is indeed a discerning and wise man.
Well, we won't bother you to deal with the aftermath, we'll leave first!"
After Xia Ji finished speaking, he walked out of the Inner Court Elders' Hall with three other elders, with proud faces on their faces.
The remaining people, including Mei Ruoxiang, Qi Wei, had gloomy faces.
Qi Wei said: "What's wrong with the city lord? This is not like the way he usually handles things.
According to our understanding of the City Lord, he should definitely stand on our side in this matter. How could he even deprive Ye Li of his status as a disciple of the Imperial City? "
Xue Ziping was also puzzled and said, "Indeed, the City Lord has always said that what we need most in the Imperial City is talent. Sometimes rules are dead, but people are alive, so we need to be more flexible.
But the way he handled it just now seemed like he was deliberately targeting Ye Li, and he just drove him away without any explanation, which was really a bit weird. "
Mei Ruoxiang already had an apologetic look on her face at this time.
She looked at Ye Li and said, "This matter is all my fault. If I hadn't forced Ye Li to be a ground-level disciple, his affairs wouldn't have been taken seriously by the other elders, and wouldn't have come to the city lord.
The city lord doesn't know about this, so there is no possibility of depriving Ye Li of his identity."
At this moment, Ye Li, who was standing below, had his face turning blue and white, and he had an indescribable feeling of discomfort in his heart.
I have clearly followed the rules and worked hard to pass the entrance test to become a disciple of the Imperial City. How can you deprive me of my status now? This is too much.
Seeing Ye Li's expression, Qi Wei unconsciously revealed a look of shame on his face and said, "Ye Li, we are really sorry for you in this matter.
You did nothing wrong in this matter, you just followed the rules.
Tianyao is not such a rigid person in normal times. He will never let go of any talented person.
We were a little surprised that he made such a decision, as if there was some special reason."
Hearing Qi Wei's words, Ye Li couldn't help but recall the strange look he saw in Di Tianyao's eyes. He wondered if the other party was targeting him alone.
He thought that he had never offended Di Tianyao, and he had never met Di Tianyao in the past. Logically, the other party should not be prejudiced against him.
Xue Ziping and several others came over to comfort Ye Li. In fact, several elders felt equally uncomfortable.
After all, Ye Li's joining was indeed approved by several of them. Now that his identity is suddenly deprived, it is tantamount to a slap in their faces. Of course, they will be very dissatisfied.
Ye Li looked at the few people and forced himself to suppress the unhappiness in his heart. After all, Qi Wei and the others treated him quite well and he had no intention of being angry with them.
After taking a deep breath, Ye Li calmed down and said, "Thank you, elders, for fighting for me.
I guess the city lord has his own reasons for this matter.
I hope that the Imperial City can allow me to pass their selection criteria as soon as possible so that I can participate in the trial to enter the city.
After my first experience, I think my chances of passing are pretty good.”
After hearing Ye Li's words, Qi Wei felt even more ashamed. After all, he was the one who brought Ye Li in, and he felt that he was somewhat sorry for him.
"Don't worry, Ye Li. I will personally go to the elders in charge of selecting candidates and ask them to include you in the review.
With your current age and strength, it should be no problem for you to qualify next year."
Qi Wei spoke with an apologetic look on his face.
Seeing the look on Qi Wei's face, Ye Li felt a little embarrassed to pursue the matter further. He nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Elder Qi. I will definitely not slack off in my practice after I return. We will try to see each other next year."
After saying this, Ye Li felt that he had let go of half of the resentment in his heart.
He was also a young man, full of vigor and vitality. Being driven out of the Imperial City was definitely something he was very dissatisfied with.
He had thought of turning around and leaving, and never joining the Imperial City again.
However, thinking that joining the Imperial City would bring great benefits to himself and his family, Ye Li had to suppress his resentment and accept the reality.
Mei Ruoxiang walked up to Ye Li, sighed, and said, "Ye Li, I am also responsible for this matter. If I hadn't forced you to be a Earth-level disciple, you wouldn't have had the chance to be deprived of your status."
Ye Li shook his head and said, "Elder Mei, don't worry about it. I didn't expect that I could join the Imperial City so early. Now that I have come here to experience it once and become familiar with the people here, it is already very good.
If I can come back next year, I will just have wasted a year, so basically there is no loss."
Ye Li said this very sincerely.
After he joined the Imperial City, he had exchanged a lot of good things with his contribution points. In addition to the talismans on his body, he also exchanged for a powerful Spirit Gathering Technique to pass on to his family.
The most important thing is that he discovered the Lotus Flame Heart Pool and absorbed the power in it, which made his strength improve by leaps and bounds.
If we talk about what he gained, Ye Li can be said to have gained a lot this year.
Thinking of this, Ye Li's resentment dissipated a lot. After all, it was also thanks to Qi Wei that he could enter the Imperial City.
Now he just needs to go back once, and he can come back again later, and his contribution degree and contribution points can be retained, so his loss is not too great.
Mei Ruoxiang looked at Ye Li's sincere expression and wanted to say something. After opening her mouth, she didn't say anything. Finally, she sighed and said, "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. The city lord has made a decision and we can't change anything. Ye Li, you can go back for a year. Next year, we will make sure you are qualified to enter the city for the trial again."
