Chapter 33: The Race Begins
As one of the three major families in Dayang Town, the Cheng family lasted for a total of three days. Naturally, there were many people who came to congratulate them, and from eight o'clock in the morning, the whole family began to be enveloped in a lively and peaceful atmosphere.
The Li family and the Situ family, who are also the three major families, also sent people to express their friendship. After all, they are also the top wealthy families in Dayang Town, so they naturally have to whitewash their faces.
The small courtyard where Cheng Yu's family lives is far away from the main gate of Cheng's house, and the noise can still be heard.
"Xiaoyu, you have to compete well today, and when your father comes back, give him a big surprise." Mother admonished while helping to clean up the corners of her clothes.
"It's a pity that my father hasn't come back yet, if it were in previous years, I would definitely be able to see my father's busy figure."
……
Before noon, Cheng Yu came to the martial arts arena early. The Cheng family's annual competition will be held here. He had come to see him twice before with his father. But this time I was a little nervous, after all, I was not like before, and I was also going to participate.
As soon as noon arrived, the martial arts arena was even more crowded, and the seats were full. Suddenly, everyone's eyes looked at the door, and they saw two old men talking and laughing surrounded by a group of people. The two old men, dressed in Tang costumes and in good spirits, were warmly embraced by everyone as soon as they entered the door.
These two old men are Cheng Yu's uncle and third master. Cheng Zhenwu and Cheng Zhenhua. The eldest man of the Cheng family is also the two most powerful people in the Cheng family. is accompanied by Cheng Ling's father, that is, Cheng Yu's uncle. Of course, the girl with a ponytail ----- Cheng Ling'er behind him. At this time, he was holding the uncle with one hand, and he didn't know what to say, which caused the two old men to laugh heartily.
The arrival of the two old men caused a boiling in the martial arts arena, after all, the Cheng family can develop to the current scale, and these two old men are the first to take the lead. I believe that there is no one who is unwilling to have a relationship with a behemoth like the Cheng family, so the two old men greeted many VIPs along the way, and occasionally exchanged pleasantries. Then they walked to the middle of the seat and sat down in turn. The uncle is the head of the previous generation and sits in the first place.
With everyone taking their seats, the martial arts arena gradually quieted down. One after another, eyes also looked at Cheng Zhenwu, who was in the first place.
Cheng Zhenwu stood up, smiled and looked around the audience.
"First of all, thank you for coming to cheer for the Cheng family." arched his hand to the audience, "Next, the Cheng family will officially begin." Then he motioned to Cheng Xian next to him, who nodded and walked into the center of the martial arts arena. Take out a bucket of bamboo skewers.
"As always, the opponent was drawn by lot. Let's draw lots for the little ones who participated in the competition! As for Cheng Wu and Cheng Xiao, who are outside, they have also received the news that they will rush back overnight tonight, and the three of them will directly participate in tomorrow's final competition. ”
"I didn't expect that even they came back, and it seems that this time there is no play with the prize." Cheng Xiang, who was sitting next to Cheng Yu, nagged.
"Cheng Wu, the first lineage of the uncle, the leader of the younger generation, I heard that the foundation has already been successfully built, and it should be in the late stage of the second order of foundation building! Cheng Xuan and Cheng Xiao are the first of the three masters, if Cheng Wu is the first person of the first line, then Cheng Xiao is the first person of the younger generation of the Cheng family. Since the beginning of cultivation, he has been breaking through one after another and creating myths. It is said that he broke through to the third order of foundation building last summer and was accepted as a student by the Sancaizi Academy, so he is quite prestigious even in Dayang Town. ”
"There are a total of five challenge slots here, and the first player with zero number is drawn to enter the competition and go to the corresponding challenge platform." Cheng Yu drew five, and standing on the stage, Cheng Yu waited for his first opponent.
What's going on? watched other challenge platforms start to compete one after another, but why don't you even have a personal figure on your own challenge platform. Is it a mistake, look at the sign in your hand is the fifth platform! Even Cheng Xian felt very weird and looked at the roster in his hand.
"Cheng Leng, where is Cheng Leng on the fifth platform?"
After a while, Cheng Leng trotted to Cheng Xian and muttered a few words.
Then Cheng Xian glanced at Cheng Yu and announced. Cheng Leng was unwell, so he abstained from racing. Cheng Yusheng! ”
All right! I didn't expect it to be Cheng Leng, and he even abstained. Looks like I scared this guy last time. It's also good to save effort. Cheng Yu, who returned to the stands, felt the gaze of many people around him.
"Hey, you're famous now." Cheng Ling'er, who defeated her opponent, also appeared in the stands.
"You're not accompanying Grandpa anymore?" Cheng Yu looked at the beautiful Cheng Ling'er in front of him and asked, Cheng Ling'er was born beautiful, and today in order to compete, she wore a loose shirt, and her beautiful figure was even more visible, attracting hot eyes from all around.
"Grandpa, they met an old acquaintance and were chatting happily! How can you have time to deal with me. ”
Cheng Yu thinks about it, it is rare for the two uncle-level figures of the Cheng family to show up, as a member of Dayang Town, when will he not make friends at this time. Besides, today is the first day, and of course it is too boring for those big names.
After Cheng Yu and Cheng Ling'er, three more people won one after another, one of which was Cheng Xuan, but now Cheng Xuan has reached the late stage of the eighth order of body refining.
"Now the first one on the bamboo stick is on the stage to compete." Waiting for the end of the first round of competition, Cheng Xian's voice also sounded again.
There are about 30 people from the younger generation of the Cheng family who can participate in the competition, of which about 20 people are from the side branch of the Cheng family. Just now, except for himself and Cheng Ling'er, the other three were people from the side branches.
In Dayang Town, in a big family like the Cheng family, almost every family has some side branches. The so-called side branch is the descendants of the people who broke through with the older generation back then, and then gave the surname, and there are also some women who were originally the main branch who married into wives and finally ran over. Strictly speaking, the side branches are not members of a family, after all, these big families value the bloodline the most, so they generally have no decision-making power in the family. But as the main branch, in order to attract more people to help their family take care of internal and external things, once someone in the side branch contributes, they will immediately get everyone in the family, plus the big family has rich resources, so many people are willing to become vassals of the big family.
In the second round, Cheng Yu saw Cheng Xiang. This guy is facing a side branch junior named Cheng Huan. At that time, his father desperately protected the Cheng family, so Cheng Xian gave the name Cheng Hui later, in order to take the Cheng family's gratitude back then. Cheng is usually enthusiastic and can mingle with everyone, so there are many people cheering for him on the venue at this time, of course, the side branches account for the majority. After all, Cheng can be the first person in the side branch!
"Xiao Xiang doesn't seem to be easy to play this round, let him be lazy in the future." Cheng Linger took her hair.
One main station, one main defense. Although Cheng Xiang's strength is not as strong as the other party, after all, there is a father who is the head of the house, and the second-level footwork is also a little colorful, so you come and go, and you can't help each other. Therefore, in the end, Cheng Xian had ended up in a tie, because it is estimated that the uncle at this time felt that his old face was almost lost by that kid, and you said that the son of your head of the family couldn't do a side branch.
"It looks like my brother is going to be miserable tonight." Seeing her father's displeasure, Cheng Linger was abusing her on the side.
………
"Let's move on to today's top five competition." Looking at the end of the second round of the primary competition, Cheng Xian announced.
