The crowd followed the voice and saw that the speaker was none other than Huang Xiaoshuai. At this moment, only he, the first-place winner, had the nerve to question Du Pengcheng's decision.
Having spoken, Huang Xiaoshuai shot Ye Qingchen a cold sneer. He had taken first place in this trial. If Ye Qingchen were specially recruited into the Qingyun Sect, it would be an unprecedented event for Qingyun Town. Wouldn't that steal his thunder? He would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen!
"Are you questioning my decision?" Du Pengcheng's face darkened as he stared at Huang Xiaoshuai.
Displaying neither servility nor arrogance, Huang Xiaoshuai puffed out his chest. "No, Steward Du. I am merely speaking up for the youths who shed blood and sweat in this trial, fighting with all their might, and who scored even higher than Ye Qingchen!"
As expected, his words ignited the youths' suppressed dissatisfaction, which instantly erupted. Many grew bold enough to shout out.
