Qin Pojun made a call to Song Yan, asking him to come over.
After all, Song Yan and Ye Xunhuan belong to the same world, and having lived for most of his life, Song Yan surely knows more than Ye Xunhuan.
So asking Song Yan is definitely not excessive, and certainly not unnecessary!
Moreover, the attitude of the Protector towards Ye Xunhuan this time made Qin Pojun feel that there was something strange and fishy going on.
After making the call to Song Yan, Qin Pojun then chatted with Ye Xunhuan. Before long, Song Yan entered from outside.
After approaching Qin Pojun, Song Yan respectfully said to him, "Master..."
"Have a seat!" Qin Pojun gestured with his hand, indicating to Song Yan not to stand on ceremony with him.
Song Yan had been with Qin Pojun for decades and was well acquainted with his temperament. Although they appeared to be master and servant, they were actually like brothers, so Song Yan didn't stand on ceremony with Qin Pojun and directly sat down to the side.
"Master, is there something you need me for at this time?"
Qin Pojun didn't speak immediately. Instead, he slowly fixed his gaze on Ye Xunhuan, then said slowly, "You go ahead and tell him!"
Although Ye Xunhuan had told him about it, it was more appropriate for Ye Xunhuan to say it himself, as he was the one who experienced it!
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan spoke to Song Yan, "Grandpa Song Yan, do you know about the Protector?"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan mention the Protector, Song Yan's expression changed slightly, and even his eyes showed a trace of fear: "Did you encounter them?"
Ye Xunhuan nodded and told Song Yan about what he experienced at the Yan family.
After listening to Ye Xunhuan's account, Song Yan's brows slightly furrowed, his face showing a thoughtful expression.
Seeing Song Yan's thoughtful expression, neither Ye Xunhuan nor Qin Pojun spoke to interrupt his thoughts.
After a while, Song Yan sighed heavily and said, "This Xuan Zhen is indeed a Protector, and about his attitude towards you, I can't figure it out either!"
"But with the Black List Tournament imminent, it probably relates to this, and at the same time, you are also a Marshal. Most importantly, you are a Huaxia person!"
"Although the Protector is powerful, they are entangled with some foreign forces, such as the current Church, the Wolf Clan that has never appeared before others, and even the Blood Clan, etc.!" Song Yan said seriously, "Although there hasn't been any friction between them, and no conflicts have occurred in recent years."
"But people of my generation almost all know that the Black List Tournament is actually their battlefield."
"In the Black List Tournament, it's the gathering place for all young strongmen. Every Black List Tournament is exceptionally eye-catching, but at the same time, countless geniuses might also fall..."
"Can you kill people in the Black List Tournament?"
"If someone concedes, then no, but if they don't concede, it's whoever stands last. However, generally, you must have the opportunity to concede!" Song Yan sighed slightly.
"Moreover, Martial Artists from Huaxia are not very welcome in the West. The Protector once tried to intervene in the underworld, but they ultimately failed!"
"For decades, no one from Huaxia could become a leader in the underworld or could become a hegemon. You are an exception, you're not supported by the Protector. And now your position is as stable as Mount Tai, plus you're on good terms with Blood Phoenix—in other words, Blood Phoenix itself represents one-third of the Blood Clan!"
"They probably see your status because you are a Huaxia person, and there are definitely many experts in your kingdom. Without saying you can help them, when large-scale fights occur, you should not help others, right?"
"Moreover, with the Black List Tournament imminent, Huaxia has always been losing, and the Protector's face is already very embarrassed. Now that you are a hegemon, you are considered a referee; in other words, you can also join the fight. As long as you win, whether you belong to the Protector is irrelevant, because you are a Huaxia person!"
"The Protector wants to make a mark, to let everyone know that Huaxia is not weak, do you understand?"
After listening to Song Yan's explanation, an expression of realization gradually appeared on Ye Xunhuan's face: "You're saying that Xuan Zhen is being courteous to me, even threatening Yan Zhengrong, all for Huaxia's face, all to make a mark?"
"Nine times out of ten, that's the case." Song Yan said uncertainly, "But since they have no malice, it's a good thing for you, and with their constraint on Yan Zhengrong, Yan Zhengrong definitely wouldn't dare act recklessly!"
"You are currently very safe; no one will come to provoke you."
"What if I don't help them make a mark in the Black List Tournament?"
"But you are the hegemon!" Song Yan emphasized heavily, "Your status already says it all."
"They're quite smart. No matter what I do, I'm freaking representing Huaxia!"
"That's right, you are a Huaxia person, and you will inevitably represent Huaxia. Even if you say you're not, outsiders won't believe it," Song Yan said seriously, "Besides, you're a referee. You can't just watch Huaxia people die, can you?"
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan understood why Long Shou sent Liu Qingcheng to participate in this Black List Tournament, playing his own card!
Old thing, old fox, really a good calculation.
Finishing his words, Song Yan sighed again and said, "However, no matter what, the Protector currently has no hostility towards you, but you must not challenge their bottom line!"
"When they take action, it's not just a small fight like others, but a thunderous force. And the forces of the Protector, along with their experts, are far beyond what you can imagine!"
Song Yan's tone gradually became heavy.
Song Yan knew a thing or two about the Protector.
Precisely because of this that made Song Yan extremely wary of the Protector.
It's damn like a sleeping tiger. It won't matter if it doesn't open its eyes, but once it does, there's damn murder intent!
But then again, as long as Ye Xunhuan doesn't challenge the Protector's bottom line, he can completely rest easy.
Of course, if Ye Xunhuan helps the Protector do some things, that's absolutely the best.
But given Ye Xunhuan's temperament, is it possible for him to help the Protector do things?
"As long as others don't come to provoke me, I certainly won't provoke others." Ye Xunhuan said lightly, "But if others come to provoke me, that's another matter."
It seemed like Song Yan anticipated Ye Xunhuan would say this, showing no surprise at all, appearing very calm!
"Your status is a double-edged sword; if used well, it is only beneficial to you, no harm." Song Yan emphasized heavily, "But at the same time, the Protector is also a hanging sword above you. If you overstep, they will definitely make a move on you!"
