X-ray Eyes Little Wild Doctor-Chapter 1383 - 1379: The New Leader

"Really?"

"That’s wonderful!"

"So, the war is over?"

Despite being exhausted, Ding Da, Ding Er, and Ding San couldn’t hide the excitement on their faces.

Throughout the battle for the liberation of the southern city and the entire Black Hole Clan, the Ding brothers encountered numerous powerful enemies, and among them, Dong Feng Elder was undoubtedly the strongest one!

Such strength is indescribable; just standing next to Dong Feng Elder feels like dying...

Yet, Ye Tian could defeat Dong Feng Elder. He is truly the leader of the Night King Hall, the backbone for everyone!

"What’s going on with the boss now?"

Ding Da immediately asked, and Daichong pointed to Ye Tian, who was asleep beside him.

"Ye Tian exhausted his last ounce of energy to defeat Dong Feng Elder, and he is currently asleep. We don’t know when he’ll wake up!"

Ding Da, Ding Er, and Ding San immediately went to Ye Tian’s side. Although Ye Tian could not greet them, they respectfully knelt on one knee before him.

"Boss, you’ve worked hard, sacrificed everything for everyone!"

"Boss, we thank you. You are the hope of the Martial Arts World!"

"Boss, we hope you recover soon and lead our Night King Hall to new heights once again!"

The Ding brothers spoke sincerely. Having just emerged from the giant cocoons, they were already exhausted and injured, so they didn’t disturb Ye Tian further and sat nearby, meditating to regain their strength.

Soon after, several more giant cocoons began to loosen, and then, several martial artists broke out of them—these were all disciples of Tiemen!

The Tiemen disciples showed expressions similar to the Ding brothers; they looked perplexed but felt relieved upon seeing Tiemen’s sect leader Daichong...

They gathered around Daichong and inquired with concern.

"Sect Leader Dai, did you save us?"

"How long were we trapped in that thing? Why don’t I have any recollection?"

"Yes, what exactly happened? Where did that evil elder of the Black Hole Clan go?"

"How did the battle go? Did we win?"

...

Facing the Tiemen disciples’ doubts, Daichong flashed a bittersweet smile before saying, "Everyone, the war is indeed over, but the one who defeated the final enemy wasn’t me; it was Ye Tian! If you want to express gratitude, thank Ye Tian! He is the key to victory in this war!"

Tian Qi walked beamingly to Daichong’s side and said, "Daichong, although Dong Feng Elder didn’t die by your hand, don’t underrate your contributions to the war. If it weren’t for you, how could Ye Tian have defeated Dong Feng Elder?"

"But..."

Daichong looked at Tian Qi. He remained humble.

Although neither Daichong nor Tian Qi explicitly stated it, the Tiemen disciples fully understood and guessed the origins of this war.

It must have been Ye Tian, Daichong, and Tian Qi working together to finally defeat the arrogant Dong Feng Elder, right?

Now is the time for recuperation, so the Tiemen disciples, who had just broken free from the giant cocoons, couldn’t say much more and went to meditate nearby.

Not long after, the martial artists from the Annihilation Squad also emerged from the giant cocoons. Although they were bewildered, upon seeing Tian Qi standing nearby, they crowded around!

Number 38 and others expressed their remorse to Tian Qi...

"Commander, we’re really sorry. Originally, we should have followed your instructions to transfer our companions and the citizens of the southern city together, but we fell into Dong Feng Elder’s trap, and everyone ended up being trapped in the southern city’s underground city, almost dying!"

"Yes! Although the Commander’s plans were quite rigorous, we failed to detect Elder Dong Feng’s conspiracy, leading everyone into his trap!"

"Commander, this was just the first task you assigned to us, but we ended up messing it up! Sorry! We’re really sorry!"

...

Facing Number 38 and others who were apologizing to him, Tian Qi didn’t know what to say. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

After a long while, Tian Qi finally spoke slowly: "Everyone, the failure of the plan is closely related to me as the Commander, so you weren’t wrong at all. It was my mistaken assessment of the situation that led everyone to be caught by Elder Dong Feng. The one who should apologize is me!"

Since the new Commander of the Annihilation Squad said so, Number 38 and others no longer insisted on apologizing and instead looked at their surroundings.

No matter how you look at it, the surroundings were a scene of harmony, which meant that the war with the four elders of the Black Hole Clan had ended?

Who exactly defeated these arrogant elders?

Seeing the puzzled expressions of everyone, Tian Qi continued: "Everyone, your guesses are correct. The evil rulers of the Black Hole Clan have all been defeated. Now, whether it’s the people of the Black Hole Clan or the citizens of the Southern City, they can all gain new life! From now on, they no longer have to live for someone else’s ambition; everyone can live for themselves!"

Tian Qi’s words immediately excited the Martial Artists of the Annihilation Squad!

"Great! Elder Dong Feng is dead! From now on, we no longer have to live under the shadow of the four elders! We are free! We are finally free!"

"I can finally look forward to my own life! Not living for others, no more days of constant fear, it’s truly perfect!"

"I love this kind of life! With no more high and mighty elders, no more fear of death, I can finally live freely and without worries!"

"Our people of the Black Hole Clan have finally welcomed a new life too!"

...

The Martial Artists of the Annihilation Squad were extremely excited. Tian Qi then said: "Everyone, it wasn’t me who defeated Elder Dong Feng, it was Ye Tian. He is now exhausted and sleeping, so I hope you won’t thank him face-to-face or say any cheesy words in his presence!

True ’gratitude’ isn’t something said with words; it should be kept in the heart. Great gratitude goes unsaid. If we really want to thank Ye Tian, then please pull yourselves together, build up the Black Hole Clan well, and make it a wonderful clan that everyone can love!"

Tian Qi’s words, far-sighted and insightful, left all the Martial Artists of the Annihilation Squad full of admiration...

Since it was Tian Qi’s order, everyone naturally had to listen, so no one disturbed Ye Tian’s rest, just silently watched him from the side. As Tian Qi said, gratitude should be kept in the heart. Any verbal expressions of gratitude are nothing but empty talk. If one doesn’t respond to others’ kindness in the right way, it’s truly an insult to the benefactor.

Because of this, the Martial Artists of the Annihilation Squad stopped verbally expressing gratitude to Ye Tian and focused all their attention on Tian Qi.

The words that Tian Qi just spoke, though brief, displayed her vision. After the complete defeat of the four elders of the Black Hole Clan, who else besides Tian Qi has the qualifications to take the elders’ position?

"Commander, you and your friend saved our Black Hole Clan, and while we are grateful to your friend, we are even more grateful to you! If it weren’t for you betraying the Black Hole Clan in pursuit of the truth of this world, how could there be today’s Black Hole Clan? So, as the Black Hole Clan currently lacks leadership, you are the only one qualified to take the elder’s position. Please, do not decline, and take on the grand task of rebuilding the Black Hole Clan!"

"Yes, Commander! If it’s not you who becomes the new elder, I will not accept it! It’s not just me; I believe all the Martial Artists of the Annihilation Squad will not accept it! All the people of the Black Hole Clan will not allow anyone else to take the elder’s position!"

"If someone else assumes the position of elder, will the Black Hole Clan walk down the path of evil again? Commander, we have finally won a new life; we cannot allow ourselves to be destroyed again! So, this trusted elder position belongs to you, and we hope that the Commander will not decline!"

"Commander, you were willing to betray the Black Hole Clan to seek the truth, a courage that other clan members cannot have. Now, we have finally defeated the elders who led the Black Hole Clan toward destruction, so this new elder position should be yours! Only the Commander can lead our Black Hole Clan to a new future!"

...

The Martial Artists of the Annihilation Squad were eagerly expressing their emotions, and Tian Qi saw the earnest desires in their eyes.

If Tian Qi were her previous self, she might have been scared and would have refused no matter what.

Just like when Tian Qi temporarily assumed the position of Commander of the Annihilation Squad, if it weren’t for Ye Tian’s persuasion, she probably wouldn’t have accepted it even if it killed her...

However, now, Tian Qi’s temperament has changed considerably, and she can clearly understand her responsibility. This responsibility can only be borne by herself!

For the current Black Hole Clan, no one might be able to lead all the people toward the future, except herself, who has been baptized with new thoughts, as the undisputed choice to lead the people.

Through the battle with Elder Dong Feng, Tian Qi has matured a lot, and in the face of the demands of the Martial Artists of the Annihilation Squad, she no longer declines...
