But just as Ki Qinyin was starting to get excited, planning to have her subordinates go easy on him, one of the eight Northern Dragon Guard members by her side suddenly spoke. "Xu Ke, are you serious?"
The middle-aged man in the black tunic suit looked at Xu Ke, his eyes filled with admiration and excitement. He was moved by Xu Ke's words. He knew that anyone who yearned to join the Northern Dragon Guard would be incredibly thrilled by a personal invitation from Madame Yu and would surely accept immediately. When he had received the Dragon King's invitation all those years ago, he had been so overjoyed he couldn't even speak, only able to nod his head vigorously.
But Xu Ke hadn't immediately lost his senses over the invitation. Knowing full well that a simple nod would admit him into the Northern Dragon Guard, Xu Ke still insisted on challenging all eight of them for the sake of fairness. Both Xu Ke's courage and his adherence to his principles deeply moved him.
