Upon hearing this, the chief penal elder of the Harmony Sect instantly felt a deep wave of discomfort wash over him, as if a raging fire was burning in his chest. Had anyone other than Ye Qingtao spoken these words to him, if anyone had dared to utter so much as a peep—no, no, no, if anyone had dared to say even a single syllable—he would have flown into an immediate, explosive rage and slapped the offender right across the face.
Most of the disciples within their sect were women, and these female disciples were breathtakingly beautiful, with flawless skin, slender figures, and alluring curves. Each one of them was a rare find across the Great Wilderness Realm, possessing a delicate, pitiful charm that made any man fall deeply in love at first sight. Yet now, Ye Qingtao spoke so casually. His heart bled at the thought, stinging with the bitter sensation of his own women being snatched away by another, while he was completely powerless to refuse handing them over.
For a moment, the chief penal elder felt utterly aggrieved and oppressed. He was unwilling to agree to such humiliating terms, yet he dared not voice his objection. He could only stand there in dead silence, not daring to say a single word.
