Chapter 186 Sometimes luck is also a kind of strength
"Let's take a look at the results of the competition later. Without Ye Ying this time, the Ye family will probably have a hard time getting into the top three in the competition."
He Yufei frowned and asked:
"Does this old guy's trouble-making have something to do with Dabi's ranking?"
Ye Changxiu said:
"Yes, if no one from the younger generation of the Ye family in Yan Province can win the top three spots this time, I guess the old guy will definitely use this to grab the land of the Ye family in Yan Province."
"What?!!! Can you steal this?"
He Yufei asked in surprise after hearing this.
Ye Changxiu said:
"Yes, the surname Ye is a family. There is an unwritten rule in our ancestors, because the head of the Ye family is the strongest branch. Therefore, when the other branches of the Ye family become weak, the head family can forcibly annex these branches.
Branch out from the weak to strengthen yourself.”
When He Yufei heard this, he sighed softly. He knew that this rule was like a haze lingering for the Ye family in Yan Province, but it had a positive effect on the inheritance of the entire Ye family. There is a reason for this.
Of course it was not difficult to understand. After He Yufei understood it, he asked him doubtfully:
"Aren't you still the head of the family?"
When Ye Changxiu heard this, he smiled sadly and said:
"It is because I am the head of the family that the Ye family in the capital will send this old guy this time. In full view of everyone, if no one from the Ye family in Yan Province can stand out in this competition, then the natural follow-up will be
He will be talked about, and the Ye family will definitely be forcibly annexed by the Ye family's successors."
The law of the jungle has existed forever. If the Ye family has such a large foundation and is unable to protect it, it will naturally be watched and robbed by more powerful people.
He Yufei sighed again, but he felt a little regretful about what happened to Ye Ying just now. If the threat from the Demon Sect is compared with the current one, it will be clear which one is more serious. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"It turns out that plans can't keep up with changes, and ideas can't keep up with reality."
The two were silent for a while. At this time, people from within the Ye family continued to come towards the competition ground. It seemed that the ten o'clock start mentioned by Ye Changxiu was a bit uncertain.
"What kind of competition is this for the younger generation?"
He Yufei looked at the sea of people on the competition ground and asked Ye Changxiu next to him.
"Children of aristocratic families under the age of thirty can participate, but there are so many people, so it is stipulated that each family is only allowed to send ten children to participate in the competition, and then each family will lead the team to draw lots to compete in the pavilion, and the winner will be
Keep fighting until you get to the last person standing."
Ye Chang practiced Taoism.
"In this case, if there is a winner and loser between the two families, should there be another competition?"
He Yufei asked.
"Yes, that's why it's called a competition for the younger generation of the Cultivation Family. No matter how strong the family's personal strength is, it's useless."
Ye Chang practiced Taoism.
He Yufei frowned when he heard this and said:
"Then if two families with a stronger younger generation are drawn together, wouldn't it be unfair to the loser?"
Ye Changxiu sighed and looked at him and said:
"There is no absolute fairness in this world. Sometimes luck is also a kind of strength."
Hearing this, He Yufei became silent and remained silent for a long time.
Nearly half an hour passed, and from He Yufei's point of view, no one could be seen coming from the Ye family to the competition arena. He thought that it would start soon, and sure enough, after a while, there was a middle-aged man.
He walked from the competition ground to the bottom of the hill, looked up at Ye Changxiu and shouted with his inner strength:
"Master, everyone in the family is here, do you want to start?"
"Okay, got it."
Ye Changxiu said lightly, at least he can't lose his momentum in front of his own people. If he always looks gloomy, then the people of the Ye family really have no backbone. Of course, these things, He Yufei guessed that the Ye family,
Except for a limited number of people, no one knows.
"Mr. Ye, how about you host this competition?"
After Ye Changxiu saw the middle-aged man walking back to the competition ground, Ye Changxiu turned around and hugged the old man sitting on the chair and asked.
"No need, you better do it. Although they are all leaves, one leaf is not the other leaf. I'll support you next time."
The old man just looked at the crowd in the competition ground calmly, without even looking at Ye Changxiu.
He arched his fist again, but Ye Changxiu didn't say much anymore. He didn't understand the meaning of the old man's words. I'm afraid it wasn't just him. Everyone else on the pavilion could hear the meaning. Some people had already understood the meaning.
think:
"This is a prelude to the Ye family in the capital city annexing the Ye family in Yan Province. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said such a thing openly on such an occasion."
Taking a deep breath, Ye Changxiu suppressed the anger in his heart. He glanced at the people below, and then used his inner strength to speak loudly:
"Today is another competition for the younger generation of the Cultivation Family. I believe you all know the rules, so I won't go into details. After a while, the heads of each family will draw lots to determine the order of the battle. The number one marked with red will fight against the number one with black color.
Number, the promotion of the family is the competition between the top number and the last number, and the promotion will follow this cycle. You can wait a moment, and the leaders of each family will draw the numbers later, and then take the written test."
Ye Changxiu's voice was so thunderous that it could not only be heard clearly in the martial arts arena, but He Yufei felt that it could also be heard clearly within the Ye family further away.
After shouting these words, Ye Changxiu turned around, looked at everyone, then gave a fist to everyone inside and outside the pavilion, and said:
"Please wait a moment, I will call someone to bring the prepared lottery paper."
"No need."
At this moment, the tall and thin old man on the chair suddenly looked at Ye Changxiu and said, and then continued with a strange tone:
"Who knows if you can operate in secret, let me draw lots now."
After saying that, he ignored Ye Changxiu, who had bulging veins on his hands. Then he stood up and smashed the wooden chair into pieces with a "snap" with his hand. The fragments of the wooden chair were scattered in all directions, but there were six
Fourteen half-finger-sized wood chips fell neatly at the old man's feet.
This technique of rectifying broken objects couldn't help but draw exclamations from everyone. You must know that the strength and knowledge on the hill are naturally there. Only a master who is not in the Lingji period can't do it with this hand. He can smash a
The chair is difficult, but it is even more difficult to control the sixty-four pieces of wood if you are distracted. Of course, this is based on the physical cultivation. The powerful mental power of the soul cultivation can also be achieved by He Yufei's current level.
But at this moment, He Yufei heard the tall and thin old man say:
"The Arabic numeral "1" and the Chinese numeral "一" are all engraved on the back of these small pieces of wood. Let's draw them. I guess I don't need to say more about the battle and promotion order, right?"
After the tall and thin old man's voice fell, there was a burst of exclamations and exclamations from everyone. It was not something ordinary people could do when his hand focused on sixty-four places just now, but in just a moment, he was able to focus on it.
They are all carved with internal force, which is what is even more terrifying.
On the other hand, He Yufei also had a solemn look on his face. If this was the case, he could barely carve it out using the Dragon Emperor's Soul Seal, but he knew that he would not be able to do it as easily as the tall and thin old man.
"It seems that this old guy must have practiced martial arts related to strengthening his mental power."
This kind of idiot's behavior was in the memory of the Dragon Emperor. The Dragon Emperor must have looked down upon it and scolded the idiot, because the characteristics of physical cultivation are physical strength and endless internal power. Although after the Nascent Soul stage, physical cultivation
Compared with the weaker soul cultivators, their mental strength and combat effectiveness have been improved, but their sexual strength and internal strength have become more prominent. The Dragon Emperor really can't bear to ignore such an approach.
But He Yufei knew that for now, this old guy's approach gave him a strong combat power in this time and space. Although it is more difficult to improve his cultivation, it is a good choice for the actual situation at the moment.
"Okay, then just follow what Mr. Ye said."
When Ye Changxiu saw the tall and thin old man take action, his clenched hands relaxed, and then he said expressionlessly.
"Okay, I'll go first."
The red-faced old man looked like he was flattering the tall and thin old man. Hearing what Ye Changxiu said, he first used his inner strength to suck up a piece of wood. He turned it over and looked at it, then turned it around and showed it to everyone.
said:
"It's Chinese Seven."
Next, people from other families came to get the wood chips one by one and looked at the numbers. After a while, the other sixty-two families had obtained the wood chips. There were still two wood chips under the feet of the tall and thin old man. The tall and thin old man looked at them.
At this point, he said to Ye Changxiu:
"It's just you and me, you take it first."
Ye Changxiu cupped his hands and said to him expressionlessly:
"Mr. Ye should come first."
"Yeah, that's fine."
As the tall and thin old man spoke, he stretched out his hand in a grasping manner and instantly sucked in a wood chip from the ground. Then without looking, he raised his hand and showed it to everyone and wrote the number "32" on it.
Ye Changxiu put the remaining piece of wood into his palm without looking at it, and then said to everyone expressionlessly:
"Now that the drawing of lots has been completed, the first eight groups of numbers will compete in a moment. The other children from each family will stay in the competition field to watch the battle or return to the residence provided by the Ye family to rest. Please give your orders to the team leaders. I will let people go there.
The order of registration numbers is for the convenience of inquiries by the children of various aristocratic families."
After saying that, he walked out of the pavilion and walked down the mountain.
After He Yufei saw Ye Changxiu leaving, he planned to leave as well. Since his identity had been recognized among the families, and there would be no competition with Ye Cheng for a while, why would he still stay here to enjoy the scenery if he didn't leave?
As for Ye Changxiu's last number, everyone knew what it was even without looking at it. However, when He Yufei took two steps and was about to walk down the pavilion, the voice of the tall and thin old man came from behind:
"Boy, I advise you not to wade into this muddy water. Otherwise, be careful of the reputation of your family. It will become a legend in the world of cultivation."
The words were full of threats, but He Yufei smiled lightly, did not look back, and echoed:
"We've already made the trip. Since we can't escape unscathed, we can only go all out."
After saying that, he stepped out of the pavilion again, and the four of them walked down the hill with Enchanting.
