Chapter 59: The Unexpected

Previous Chapter

This is, Father?

In the moment just now, Ye Yuyao suddenly felt a little dazed, she couldn't remember how long it had been since no one had touched her?

One year, or three years?

......

It's been so long, so long that Ye Yuyao has forgotten this feeling, so when Han Lin touched her for the first time, Ye Yuyao's body subconsciously trembled, and there was a faint resistance in her heart.

But when she realized that she was a master and felt the kindness coming from the warm palm, she immediately let down her vigilance. And gradually, some are immersed in this warmth.

"It's so comfortable. ”

Ye Yuyao lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at her master, because she was afraid that the master would see her weak side, and she didn't want the master to sympathize with her.

But she was reluctant to take the master's palm away, so she could only remain motionless, hoping that this moment could last longer.

It wasn't until Ye Yuyao's body trembled because of the long stiffness that Han Lin suddenly realized that his behavior was inappropriate.

"I'm sorry!" Han Lin withdrew his hand in a little panic, his behavior just now was too intimate, and Ye Yuyao's cold personality was likely to feel uncomfortable, but fortunately, Ye Yuyao just shook his head and didn't mean to pursue it.

In this somewhat awkward atmosphere, the people on the high platform finally made the final arrangements.

As the second master took a step forward, the entire venue was completely quiet.

"Since everyone is here, then I won't talk nonsense" The second master looked around, taking in everyone's expressions, and then continued: "I think you all already know the particularity of this coming-of-age ceremony, and I can't say more." I can only tell you, if you don't want to be an ordinary person, just do your best!"

The words are very concise, which is very in line with the style of the second master, but no one present despises the words of the second master, because for many of them, changing their fate may really only depend on today!

"Okay, then I announce that the 39th coming-of-age ceremony has officially begun!"

In the warm applause, the second master retreated, and then a middle-aged man from the Zhang family stood up, it seemed that he should be an elder of the Zhang family.

The middle-aged man didn't talk nonsense when he came out, and after exchanging glances with the second master and the head of the Zhang family, he shouted loudly: "Due to the particularity of this coming-of-age ceremony, we no longer set up the ceremony and the crown ceremony, but will use three trials to determine the ranking, and then commend it." In addition, since there will be a percentage of results in each competition, I hope you can do your best in every competition!"

The elder's words did not cause any disturbances, because everyone knew that this was just a contest in the guise of a coming-of-age ceremony.

"It should be noted that unlike previous competitions, this time we will eliminate a certain percentage of people in each trial. The size of the scale depends entirely on your own performance, that isβ€”" At this point, the elder paused to give the audience time to react before continuing.

"That means that maybe none of you will be eliminated, but maybe none of you will be left!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the audience, after all, the middle-aged man said that the situation was too extreme. According to him, it is likely that after this competition, few people will be standing here.

Although the rules are very special, this is not the most surprising, what the elder said next really stunned the children of the Ye family in the field.

"So, let's go to the first one: the literary exam!"

"What?!"

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Why do we have to take the exam?"

In the Ye Jiaxi training ground, the third master looked at the teenagers who were struggling to write books or have sad faces, and instantly thought of the life he was forced to study when he was a child, and couldn't help but feel sad: "We are a group of martial artists, why can't we compete directly?"

The head of the family sitting next to him did not answer him directly, but asked rhetorically: "Third child, do you still think that reading is useless?"

"......" The third master did not answer, but his attitude had already indicated his opinion.

"Hey, you've always been like this. The head of the family sighed, he didn't blame anything, he has fully understood his brother for so many years, and the other party can't be changed by himself in a few words, but he still has to say what he should say.

"Reading really can't enhance your strength, but it can increase your experience, in the rivers and lakes, sometimes experience is more important, because people's hearts are the most terrible!"

The uncle's words came from the bottom of his heart, but to the third master's ears, it was a different taste, because it reminded him of that bad memory.

"If it weren't for the fourth child who read so many books, he wouldn't have died. ”

"Sure enough, you are still entangled in this matter......" The third master's words also brought the head of the family to that dark memory.

That amazingly talented, civilian-military young man - if he hadn't died, the Ye family would have been a different appearance now, and if he hadn't easily believed him, he wouldn't have died if he had carried out such a dangerous mission......

It's a pity that there is no if in the world, and no one knows that a separation has become a farewell, maybe this is the fate of those who practice martial arts!

The bleak autumn breeze blew between the two, making the already quiet environment even more oppressive.

The other Ye family members in the field also felt it, as if they were suffocated by a cloud of stagnant water. When they glanced around and saw the expressions of the head of the family and the third master on the stage, they understood what was happening.

"It seems that the head of the family and the third master have talked about that incident again. A member of the Ye family who was invigilating in the audience whispered to another person beside him.

After listening to his companion's words, the other person also looked up at the stands, and then quietly shook his head and said, "Let's be cautious!"

The death of the fourth master has long become a taboo in the Ye family, so this person does not plan to continue to talk about this topic, but the previous person does not intend to stop there, and still says to himself: "Do you think the fourth master will still be alive......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw one of the candidates in the field raise his hand, successfully attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Submit the papers!" was a simple two words, but it detonated the nerves of those already dissatisfied candidates.

"What kind of speed is this, I'm only halfway there. ”

"You still wrote? I can't answer any questions, I'm going crazy!"

"He's not going to have the answer, is he?!"

β€œ......”

"Quiet and quiet!" Before the examination room was completely chaotic, the chief examiner spoke out in time to stop everyone.

The examiner was not surprised that someone would submit the paper in advance, especially after finding out that it was a genius boy from the Zhang family who handed in the paper, he felt that he should take it for granted.

After all, this essay test was not intended to test the hard work of these children's previous studies, because the head of the family also knew that a group of martial artists could not have a high level of education.

This essay test is actually a test of memory and understanding, before answering the questions, each candidate will have an hour to read the books distributed, and then the exam papers will be issued.

This is also the difficulty of this exam, although the content of the test paper is based on books, the content of the exam is quite flexible. For example, if you read about the habits of a certain spirit animal, the test question may be the method of dealing with the spirit animal, and if you read the effect of the spirit grass, it may test the combination of your spirit grass. In short, there are many topics and the content is changeable, and if you don't have a certain ability, you may not be able to write a single question.

But as the so-called fame is no vain, Zhang Xunguang is not only superior in terms of force, but also remarkable in literature, thanks to the education of the Zhang family and his own insight in traveling south and north since childhood. In addition, the questions in this exam are actually some common sense content in the final analysis, so he not only finished the content, but also handed in the paper half an hour in advance.

"Are you sure you want to hand it in? you can't change it after you hand it in," out of rigor, the chief examiner reminded him before receiving the answer sheet.

"Sure. ”

After receiving a positive reply, the chief examiner did not say anything more, and directly picked up Zhang Xunguang's answer sheet. After a brief browsing, he couldn't help but praise in his heart: "It is worthy of being the leader of the Zhang family, and it has reached this level in such a short time, it shouldn't be a problem to get the first few of the literary exam." I don't know how far my Ye family disciples can answer!"

After Zhang Xunguang handed in the papers, order was restored in the examination room, and until the end of the final exam, only four people submitted the papers in advance. But except for Zhang Xunguang, the other three all knew that they were hopeless, so they simply didn't waste time.

After collecting all the answer sheets, the first trial of the coming-of-age ceremony is officially over, and the rest of the correction marks have nothing to do with the head of the family.

I thought that this first trial would end so peacefully, but when the head of the family returned to the study and heard the situation of the main training ground introduced by the second master, the already bad mood was even worse.

"What do you mean, more than half of them have turned in their papers ahead of schedule?"

"Yes. ”

Getting a positive answer again, the head of the family instantly became angry, he knew that the Ye family had signed up this time, and there would be some people who tried to fish in troubled waters to hand in the papers in advance, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people.

What is the concept of more than half of them, there are at least fifty or sixty people, dozens of times that of the Zhang family, is it true that the children of the Ye family are so different from the Zhang family?

Although he was angry, the head of the family still suppressed his anger and continued to ask, "Why are there so many people, is there any special reason?"

"Maybe it has something to do with Zhen'er and Ye Guanyu......" Immediately, the second master told the head of the family what happened today, including the bet between Ye Zhen and Ye Guanyu that he investigated later.

After I warned the two of them, the two of them seemed to make a bet, perhaps because of this, they compared each other with each other, and led the others to follow suit. ”

"This rebel!" In this coming-of-age ceremony, the head of the family didn't have much hope for Ye Zhen, but he didn't expect him to be more than successful and more than ruined, because of impulsiveness, the Ye family became the laughing stock of others. There is also Ye Guanyu, who is untrustworthy and takes the initiative to stir up trouble, and the head of the family also plans to have a good chat with them.

"Who was the first to hand in the papers?" The head of the family has already thought about it, no matter who submits the papers first, he must let the other party understand that the Ye family's family law is not a decoration!

"The first one?" Hearing this, the second master, who had been calm, suddenly turned his face a little strange: "The first one to hand in the paper is Doctor Han......
