In the Ye family, the guards who secretly protected Ye Yuyao were worried about didn't happen in the end. Because since that time when she went out to collect medicine, Ye Yuyao has become as usual without leaving home, and at the same time, the son of the Zhang family can't be quiet all day long, either playing here or going there, and I can't wait to visit all the attractions in Yecheng before going back. Such two people with very different personalities can't meet each other at all, let alone conflict again.

So after observing for two days, the man also put his mind at ease and began to go about his own business, after all, the coming-of-age ceremony is approaching, and the Ye family has a lot of things to do. Of course, except for Ye Yuyao and Han Lin, who were isolated from the world, the two of them were still just busy with their own affairs.

Having said that, Han Lin still felt the changes in the Ye family in the past few days, and the most intuitive feeling was that the Ye family had become lively.

Han Lin found that not only did there be more people who were busy on the road every day, but some of the previously idle courtyards around him were also inhabited, and sometimes when he was cultivating at night, he could even hear the sound of talking from the courtyard next door.

Han Lin saw the signs before this kind of large-scale gathering, but he didn't care, because for him as an outsider, nothing happened to the main family that would involve him. Originally, things should have developed like this, until noon that day, Qi Lao came to Han Lin's hospital.

"Hahaha, Brother Han, you lost again, drink quickly!"

"No, I really can't drink it. ”

"You don't lie to people, I haven't seen you get drunk, drink!"

“......”

Before entering the courtyard, Qi Lao heard the noisy shouts in Han Lin's courtyard, and he was actually drinking in the voice. But Qi Lao didn't really believe that this kind of thing would happen to Han Lin here, because in his impression, Han Lin had always been a solitary and gentle teenager, and this kind of thing should not happen to him when he gathered to drink!

In order to find out what was going on inside, Qi Lao knocked on the closed door.

"It's coming, it's coming. Han Lin inside heard the knock on the door, it was really like a pardon, and he rushed there before he finished speaking, obviously he didn't want to drink with those few people.

"Who?" As soon as the courtyard door opened, a person that Han Lin hadn't expected appeared in front of him: "Old Qi, why are you here?"

"It's okay to be idle, come and sit here. Saying that, Qi Lao looked into the courtyard, and saw that there was a big table there, on which a lot of wine and food were placed, and Ye Zhen and a few of his fox friends were sitting there eating and drinking, so unhappy.

"What are they?"

"Oh, the eldest young master occasionally comes here to see me, so let's have a meal together. Han Lin said half-truthfully.

In fact, the truth is like this, it is completely Ye Zhen's sons who covet the food made by Han Lin, so they came to Han Lin to prostitute for nothing, but Han Lin can't tell the truth.

"Haha, I didn't see it, you're actually quite popular!"

Qi Lao didn't know whether it was deliberately ridiculed or unintentional, which made Han Lin smile bitterly: "This ...... So-so. ”

For this popularity, he would rather not. Thinking like this, he suddenly missed the pure life when he was rumored before, that was because he was worried that approaching Han Lin would be infected, and no one was willing to approach him for a long time, and Ye Zhen was quiet for a long time.

And when the Ye family's housewife came forward to refute the rumors, Ye Zhen, who couldn't hold back for a long time, immediately ran to Han Lin and began to eat, and occasionally the second and third sons would come.

This lively situation made Han Lin a little uncomfortable for a while, but fortunately, it seemed that for some reasons, the third son and the second son rarely came, and only this Ye Zhen was still unable to come to "visit" often, but the difficulty of serving one son was much smaller than serving three, so Han Lin chose to endure it, until today he happened to be met by Qi Lao.

"Elder Qi, is there something you are here for today?"

"It's a long story, let's go inside."

"Yo, you see I'm so confused, I actually forgot to invite you in, please come in. Under Qi Lao's reminder, Han Lin found out that after so long, he had actually kept Qi Lao out of the door, and seeing this, Han Lin hurriedly let Qi Lao into the courtyard.

Here Han Lin was inking at the door, and Ye Zhen, who was waiting for Han Lin to drink with him in the courtyard over there, was already impatient, so he took advantage of the strength of the wine and shouted at the door: "Brother Han, why haven't you come back yet, who is coming?"

It was not Han Lin who answered him, but a male voice full of energy: "It's me who came, eldest young master Gui'an!"

"Who are you......" Before Ye Zhen's words were finished, he saw that the person who was asking him for peace on the side was actually Qi Lao. This scared him awake from his drunkenness.

Since he was a child, the person he was most afraid of except his father was this Qi Lao, because Qi Lao had taught him martial arts for a few days. It's just that of course, under his bitterness to his grandmother, this matter ended hastily quickly, but in just a few days, Qi Lao's stern personality has left an indelible shadow in his heart.

Therefore, since then, he has been avoiding Qi Lao, firstly because of his fear of Qi Lao, and secondly, because Qi Lao can be regarded as his former master no matter what he says, as the so-called one day is a teacher and a lifetime father, Ye Zhen can't put a little stand in front of this old man. In that case, it's better not to meet him at all.

Today is the same, Ye Zhen was drinking to the upright, but the arrival of Qi Lao made him lose interest in an instant, so after simply saying hello to Qi Lao, Ye Zhen hurriedly fled here with his fox friends and dogs.

That speed was like a rabbit seeing an eagle, Han Lin never thought that that the boy who was not afraid of heaven and earth would be so jealous of an old man.

"I knew that I would have invited Qi Lao here a long time ago. "Of course, this is a fantasy, Qi Lao also has a lot of affairs every day, how can he have time to play cat and mouse with him here!

After figuring this out, Han Lin was no longer entangled, and after cleaning up the table and pouring a cup of tea for Qi Lao by the way, Han Lin sat opposite Qi Lao: "Qi Lao, is there something you are here for today?"

"Can't I come and sit with you if it's okay? You kid, you're not polite at all when you call others, and you don't want to deal with it now if you don't need it, do you?"

"Old Qi, where are you, I've always been thinking about you in my heart, and I'm still thinking about helping you do something, hasn't I always had a chance?" Han Lin snorted, he already had a guess in his heart, this old man was afraid that he would have something to ask for today!

Sure enough, as soon as Han Lin's words were finished, Qi Lao changed his smile and said, "Is this true?"

"That must be true, if there is anything to help, Qi Lao, you just have to command. As long as I, Han Lin, can do it, it will naturally be a matter of course. ”

"It's not that exaggerated, but there is really one thing that needs your help now, but not to help me, but to help - the Ye family!"

"Ye family?" Han Lin wondered, with such a big Ye family, why did he have to help him, a half-man?

Qi Lao understood that Han Lin would be confused, so he slowly explained the reason why he came this time.

It turned out that he came this time for the coming-of-age ceremony a day later, and he didn't come this time for other purposes, but to let Han Lin also participate in the coming-of-age ceremony and fight for the Ye family!

"Wait!" Hearing this, Han Lin stopped Qi Lao's words: "You just said that you want me to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony, isn't that a joke, this coming-of-age ceremony must only be attended by people who have reached the age of twenty, and I don't meet the requirements!"

"No, this coming-of-age ceremony is different from the past, this time it is more appropriate to call it a trial than a coming-of-age ceremony. Compared to the previous celebrations, this coming-of-age ceremony will be open to all 10 to 20 years old, and there will be a number of competitions. ”

"But according to my observation, there are really few outstanding juniors in the Ye family at this age, so if this competition continues, won't the Zhang family take all the benefits, so ......"

"So you want me to participate?"

"yes, that's what I meant!"

"But I'm not part of the Ye family, I'm an outsider to participate, is it appropriate?" Han Lin still subconsciously wanted to shirk.

But Qi Lao had long known that Han Lin would say this, so he had already thought of the words: "Who said that you are an outsider? We, the disciples of the Ye family, must be part of the Ye family, so isn't it normal to participate in the activities held by the Ye family?"

"Can you still say that?" Han Lin embarrassed.

"Of course, don't worry about this, I have asked the head of the house before I came, and he said that as long as you agree, then you can participate at any time. ”

"This ...... Let me think about it again!" Han Lin's original intention was not to be in the limelight, he just wanted to develop in peace and stability, and then find a way to repair the natal artifact and leave here after he grows stronger. Therefore, this coming-of-age ceremony is actually contrary to his purpose, which makes him have to think about it clearly.

Qi Lao understood Han Lin's temperament, this young man was too peaceful, if he didn't force him, he wouldn't agree, so Qi Lao continued, "What else do you want? Didn't you promise very well just now, why did you want to change your hexagram?"

"No, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to handle the important task of winning glory for the Ye family."

"It's okay, I trust you. And I will quietly tell you that those who get good rankings in various competitions this time will be rewarded by the Ye family and the Zhang family, the top ten in the comprehensive ranking, and there are special rewards. In order to get Han Lin to agree, Qi Lao made a killer move, as the so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, Qi Lao hopes to make Han Lin's heart move.

The fact is indeed as he thought, hearing that there is a reward, Han Lin was a little moved, he came to the Ye family for Mithril, but he was dormant before, thinking about waiting for the Ye family to mix up some prestige before finding a way to ask for some Mithril, but now there seems to be a shortcut, so after thinking for a while, Han Lin asked, "Reward?"

"As long as you get the top three, you can have anything you want!"

"That'...... Well, I'll participate!"
