If it's not a competition to recruit a bride, then why?
Li Ye was a little surprised and asked.
"Little brother, I don't know. Although the Liang family has controlled a hundred miles of Liangjia Town for hundreds of years and is a famous family, some talents have withered in the past hundred years, and each generation is inferior to the last. Fortunately, there is a Miss Liang.
He has outstanding talent and has reached the peak of the ninth level of Xiantian Realm at the age of only sixteen! He is no worse than other disciples of other major sects."
Sixteen years old, the peak of the ninth level of Xiantian realm?
Li Ye was a little shocked. This level was nothing in the Southwest Star Region, but don't forget! The eldest lady of the Liang family is only sixteen years old!
Moreover, the Liang family has no reputation at all in the Southwest Star Territory. Even in Li Ye's opinion, just like the Li family in Jiangnan Dao, there are only eight thousand families similar to the Li family, if not ten thousand!
Thinking about it, the people I met in the secret realm were all genius disciples from the top fifteen forces in the Southwest Star Region. Although their cultivation level was at least half a step to the Earth Mysterious Realm, they were all at least over 20 years old!
"No wonder he was favored by the elders of Tianshan Sect!"
"No, it's just that the Liang family has its own embarrassment. Although Miss Liang has outstanding talents, she can't find suitable followers within the family."
"Follower?"
"Yes, Tianshan Sect is a top seventh-level sect. After Miss Liang entered the school, even if she had an elder to rely on, she did not have only one disciple under the elder's sect. If there were no better followers to follow, it would be easy for her to fall into the sect.
Being ostracized or even provoked internally.”
"Yes, Miss Liang is very talented, but she is too young. Unless she is given ten years, it will be difficult for her to get along in the Tianshan Sect."
Li Ye finally understood that the competition stage set up by the Liang family was not to recruit brides, but to select followers for the eldest lady of the Liang family!
To put it bluntly, it’s all about choosing bodyguards and nannies!
Although there was no martial arts contest to recruit a bride, Li Ye felt a move in his heart after hearing this.
"The Lord of the Night may be chasing after me. If I can sneak into the Liang family, at least I can prevent the Lord of the Night from predicting it. Then, the Liang family will go to the Tianshan Sect tomorrow, and I can just find an opportunity to escape halfway.
!Transfer back to Jiangnan!"
Thinking of this, Li Ye made a decision.
The town of Liangjia is not big, and the Liang family is the only famous family. After a little inquiry, Li Ye knew how to sign up.
"The minimum requirements are that the age is no more than sixty, and the cultivation level is at least the ninth level of innate realm?"
This requirement is not harsh, but it is not low either.
After all, as a casual cultivator, it is extremely difficult to practice. It is even more difficult to cultivate to the ninth level of Xiantian. Not everyone will encounter adventure, and even if they do, they will be destined to get it.
Under the age of sixty, this age is considered the golden age for ordinary martial arts cultivators, but it is also past the optimal training stage.
"The Liang family's choice is quite smart."
In Li Ye's view, what the Liang family wants is a strong man who is at least half a step into the Earth Mysterious Realm or directly into the Earth Spirit Realm. With this kind of cultivation, he can help the eldest lady of the Liang Family block off the unstoppable enemies after entering the Tianshan Sect.
Save yourself the trouble and give her enough time to grow.
"Only four people are recruited? But once they are selected, they can get a thousand middle-grade Yuanling stones and a quasi-earth-level magic weapon?"
To be honest, this reward definitely makes many casual cultivators very excited.
One thousand mid-grade Yuanling Stones is not a small amount, and a quasi-earth-level magic weapon is also a great temptation for some casual cultivators with shameful equipment.
Li Ye doesn't care about these, he cares about other things.
Back in the room, Shui Linglong had woken up, but her face was very pale, bloodless, and she looked extremely weak.
When she saw Li Ye coming back, Shui Linglong's eyes were obviously a little complicated.
"Don't look at me like that. Although I am not a good person, I will not ignore death. But I have agreed that I will find a way to keep both of us alive this time, but when the time comes, you can't burn bridges and let me go."
Go! Don't offend the river!"
Li Ye was actually very hesitant in his heart, but unfortunately he couldn't make up his mind in the end.
Now that Shui Linglong was seriously injured, there was nothing he could do, but once she recovered, even if she only regained one power, he would be dead!
He is gambling!
There was silence for a while, and finally, Shui Linglong sighed softly.
Although she didn't answer, Li Ye knew that she agreed.
"You are a senior venerable, can't you go back on your word?"
Shui Linglong rolled her eyes at Li Ye, and she looked frail and delicate at the moment, which made Li Ye's heart beat a few times unsatisfactorily.
"Li Ye, Li Ye! What are you thinking! This woman in front of you might be old enough to be your grandma's grandma!"
Shaking his head and shaking away the charm in his heart, Li Ye told Shui Linglong his plan.
Hearing Li Ye's plan, Shui Linglong's eyes lit up, but she soon frowned and said, "Although your method is good, once it is discovered by the dark night, not only you and me, but also everyone in the Liang family will be implicated."
Go in."
This was something Li Ye didn't expect, but after hearing Shui Linglong's worries, Li Ye finally let go. He would even worry about the safety of the unrelated Liang family, which shows Shui Linglong's character.
"You are indeed different from those two venerables. Forget it, it's okay to tell you. It's for the sake of you indirectly helping me."
After hesitating again and again, Li Ye said, "I know what you want. The Fighting God Art of the Wu Dynasty is indeed in my hands, but it is useless if you get it."
"Why?"
Shui Linglong was slightly puzzled, but she was a little surprised that Li Ye would say it.
"It's very simple. If you want to practice the Fighting God Art, you need to have the blood of the Wu clan. So, you understand?"
Opening his eyes wide, a wry smile appeared on Shui Linglong's face behind the veil, "That's it."
Seeing the relieved look in her eyes, Li Ye didn't say anything else.
Shui Linglong’s injury was very serious!
Li Ye couldn't help either. The so-called holy healing medicine on his body was undoubtedly rubbish in the eyes of the Venerable and was of no use at all.
"Master, in fact, as long as you take this girl in and become your dependent, you can at least restore 30 to 40% of her injuries!"
"Familiar? You want me to die! Besides, can't I only accept one dependent for the time being? We already have Shao Yueling. If I accept another one, my soul will collapse."
"Master, you have forgotten that your bloodline has been upgraded now! A marquis-level bloodline is enough for you to have three dependents!"
Li Ye had forgotten this, and now Shui Linglong was seriously injured and had almost no resistance!
After thinking about it, Li Ye gave up this tempting idea.
"It's not my style to take advantage of others' danger."
"Master, I really don't know whether to say that you are a kind person or that you are stupid! To use what you often say, Master, you don't want to accept anything that comes to your door! You're stupid!"
"..."
Stupid or not, Li Ye is certainly not stupid. He does not believe that Shui Linglong has no means to save his life! He does not want to destroy the friendly relationship that he has finally established.
