Chapter 24 Reckoning with the General Ledger
Chu Yibai asked Qiu Yue and the others to go back to the villa in the morning, and to see more of the competition between the masters, it would also improve the two of them.
Chu Yibai, who was left alone, slipped out of the inn after lying on his stomach for a while.
Chu Yibai, who was eating pastries in his mouth, slowly came to the stall where he had guessed the stone before, and the shopkeeper was still talking hard to attract customers, but because of the beginning of the past two days, there were many fewer people on the street.
Chu Yibai just came around, and the shopkeeper who recognized her at a glance hurriedly came to her side, and whispered with a smile, "This girl, I was really embarrassed last time, can you please give me a look and come to my store for a cup of tea?" ”
Chu Yibai looked at the shopkeeper and knew that he must have gone to the stone from yesterday, so he immediately followed the shopkeeper into the shop.
The shopkeeper invited Chu Yibai to the back of the shop, poured a cup of tea for Chu Yibai and said politely,
"Girl, I wonder if you can find someone to polish those stones yesterday?"
Chu Yibai took a sip of tea, and said with some anger, "Where is it, I haven't been busy competing for the past two days, and I don't care about it, shopkeeper, I think you seem to have been in business for many years, and I have to teach you those guys well!" ”
"Yes, yes," the shopkeeper was a little happy when he heard that Chu Yibai hadn't opened the stone yet, if the guy was not wrong yesterday, it was very likely that there was a rare 'autumn treasure' in the stone!
"Why don't you leave the stone here and I'll open it for you personally, and when the time comes, you tell me where you are staying, and I'll go back and send it over in person, and yesterday's incident, I'll give you some extra good jade, how about it?"
The shopkeeper saw that Chu Yibai was a little girl, and when she said this, she would definitely be busy agreeing.
Chu Yibai really said happily, "Oh, you are really a conscientious seller in charge!" Well, what nice jade are you going to give me? ”
The shopkeeper looked at Chu Yibai with a happy face, thinking about the 'autumn treasure' that was about to arrive, but he was reluctant to let the jade set up a good jade, so he immediately led Chu Yibai to the front, pointed to a row of medium-colored jade and asked Chu Yibai to pick a piece at will.
Chu Yibai used his divine sense to sense the best one and took it away, and threw five stones to the shopkeeper nonchalantly,
"Shopkeeper, I'm still busy with the competition, don't give it away, I'll get it when I get it."
The shopkeeper was happy to see the stone in the palm of his hand, and immediately said, "Girl, go slowly!" Come back to me next time, I'll give you a discount! ”
After Chu Yibai went out, he went to walk around the other street with a smile, this stupid hat shopkeeper, waiting to open his good jade.
Di Beiche, who was looking at Chu Yibai at the corner of the street, saw that the injuries on her body were almost healed, and there was the kind of little smug smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.
"Let's go back."
Ying Shen, who was dozing against the wall behind him, hurriedly said after hearing this, "Young Master, then Miss Chu is in front, don't you look at her?" ”
Di Beiche glanced at Ying Shen expressionlessly, "Who are you looking at?" ”
"Ahem, I said, don't you watch the competition?" Ying Shen hurriedly changed his words, and he was embarrassed to see others, but it was the first time that his young master was so interested in the girl!
"Don't look at it, go back."
After eating some lunch at random, Chu Yibai walked back to Yiwei Villa to watch the competition, this round of competition is all elite juniors from various families, and it is a pity not to look at it.
Because of yesterday's performance, some young ladies and young masters of the Chu family looked at Chu Yibai a little differently, and even many of them greeted her.
Chu Yibai still came to the last position, just sat down on the stage This competition has just ended, and now it is Jiang Haoxuan and the junior of the Wen family who go up, both of them are cultivators in the middle stage of the spirit master, Chu Yibai is energetic, thinking to see how this Jiang Haoxuan is able.
Jiang Haoxuan looked like a hanger on his face, but he took it seriously when he went on stage, and every move and style of casting was only used after careful consideration, he was the water spirit root, and the young man who fought against him was the fire spirit root, and the two spirit roots rushed down, Jiang Haoxuan had a lot of advantages, and after a while, he took a fancy to a flaw in the person's body law, and Jiang Haoxuan knocked him off the stage with a burst of spiritual attack.
After a few games, the year's big game is over.
It is still a junior of the Jiang family who occupies the first place in the competition, and in addition to the first place, there are six juniors of the Jiang family in the top ten, and the rankings are not bad, the main face of the Jiang family in the stands has a joy that cannot be concealed, yes, this year is much better than in previous years.
And the Chu family is not bad among the rest of the family, although only Chu Zimo entered the top ten, but his ranking was quite high, winning the fourth place.
As for the top fifty, the number of juniors is the same number of Wang and Wen's families, but because of Wang Xuan'er's previous bad behavior, the Jiang family elder directly announced that this year's family reward was given to the Wen family, and the Wang family naturally did not dare to have any objections.
When I came to Yiwei Villa, because the families were far away from here, the Chu family did not meet other families on the way when they came, and now that the big competition is over, it is natural that many families will meet together, and some of them have good friendships, and the elders of the families will also say a few words of greeting.
No, the Chu family and the Du family have a good relationship, and when the elders of the two families stopped talking, the wealthy Jiang family team on the side went back to the house.
Chu Yibai, who was standing in his own team and staring at others, was envious in his heart.
The Jiang family didn't go back on foot like the other nine families, but they flew back! The elder deacons who led the team each rode a flying spirit beast of a high grade, and the remaining juniors also rode a low-level flying spirit beast together, and this formation was overwhelming, and they left directly in the envious eyes of the juniors of other families.
No wonder seven of the top ten are from the Jiang family, and every year the big competition is presided over by the people, not to mention the strength, but also the wealth!
In order to take care of Chu Yibai's injury, several elders of the Chu family had to travel for a day, but they had to walk for two and a half days before going back. However, not many people raised objections, Chu Yibai almost put his life into it for the sake of the family this time, and it is also appropriate to go slowly.
Chu Xuyun looked at Elder Lin who was facing Chu Yibai and asked for warmth behind him, and he was so hateful that he was also fifteenth no matter how he said it, and he entered several places compared to the previous year, but no one came to ask him, so he went to see that slut!
"Yibai, what's the matter with your dividing spiritual power? I can't touch that in the spirit realm! Lin Yanghua smiled and asked Chu Yibai a long question.
Chu Yibai's mind turned, "My pair of spiritual roots have always been like this, I thought everyone was the same, Elder Lin, what is the differentiation of spiritual power?" ”
Elder Lin didn't ask more questions when she heard her say this, this Chu Yibai can now cultivate and his temperament has changed a lot, the head of the family already loves her the most, and now she is performing so well, she will definitely be more valued among the juniors in the future.
"Hehe, it's okay, I think it's the special feature of your pair of spiritual roots. A white girl, if there is anything you don't understand in cultivation in the future, you can come to me and ask more. ”
Chu Yibai smiled and replied a few words, this Elder Lin is really a master who tends to be inflammatory.
"Family Master, Elder Lin and they are back with the team!" The house came to the study to report.
Chu Pengtian hurriedly went to look, calculating that it should have arrived a few days ago, and he was still worried that something was wrong.
After letting the juniors disperse, the three elders came to the lobby to report the situation to the head of the family.
"Family master, this year's Dabi is still the leader of the Jiang family, but our Chu family is also good, Zimo occupies the fourth place, and has entered a ranking compared to the previous year, among the top twenty, there are several young masters and young ladies who have also performed well." Lin Yanghua said.
"Yes, it's really an improvement from the previous year." Chu Pengtian stroked his beard with a smile on his face.
"However," Lin Yanghua continued with a little shame, "I also ask the head of the family to punish me and others." ”
"What's going on?" Chu Pengtian was a little puzzled.
Lin Yanghua and the other two elders Balabala told Chu Yibai's performance again, and Shen Xiuwei, an elder who had more eyes, emphasized from time to time that it was Chu Yiyun who said how powerful Chu Yibai was, and highly recommended Chu Yibai, so they went against the instructions of the head of the family and let Chu Yibai go on the test platform.
Chu Pengtian listened to a cold sweat, and he told Bai Qian, but he never expected that these people forced her to go on stage! On weekdays, these elders don't care about their own yang and yin, but now they almost put their lives into it!
"Don't talk about it! You don't even listen to my head of the house now, do you?! Get out of here, wake up and get punished! ”
After that, Chu Pengtian hurriedly went to Chu Yibai, although this girl was in the early stage of spiritual cultivation, but it was a joint attack of four spiritual realm juniors! Fortunately, my life was saved, if there is something long and short, how can my old face be worthy of her father!
Chu Pengtian, who was worried along the way, came to Chu Yibai's courtyard not long after.
"Grandfather, you're here!" Chu Yibai knew that this cheap grandfather would arrive in a short time, so he made tea in the courtyard in advance and waited.
"Yibai, is your injury better? Do you feel uncomfortable now? Grandfather is in a hurry, and someone will send you some medicine later," Chu Pengtian looked at Chu Yibai and felt a little relieved.
"It's okay, don't you think I'm doing well, grandfather, I didn't embarrass you this time, did I?" Chu Yibai was very moved when he saw that his cheap grandfather was so worried, but he still said with a smile.
"You girl, what's the matter if you lose face, if you can't beat it, just admit defeat, where is a quota more important than life?!"
Chu Pengtian blamed on his face, but he was really happy in his heart, Yibai now not only knows that he has won glory for the family, but also is also impressed, and he is no longer the previous Miss Waste Material, or Dabi won the first place, it didn't make him happy!
"However, I heard Elder Lin say that you used your Differentiation Spiritual Power during the competition? Now your cultivation can't touch that, what's going on? Chu Pengtian was much more relieved at this moment, thinking about the situation of the white competition that the elders had said before, he was also a little surprised.
Chu Yibai smiled, "That, I saw Brother Zimo in the small competition before, so I pestered him to teach me for a few days, and I was forced by their shameless ones to be unable to do it during the competition, who would have thought about it!" ”
After hearing this, Chu Pengtian looked like this, and told Chu Yibai not to use this desperate way of playing again in the future, his life was the most important thing, and then went back.
After sending off his cheap grandfather, Chu Yibai went back to the house to rest, and the injury on his back was almost healed in two days after taking the pill given by Di Beiche.
Dabi has passed, and after that, it's time for my aunt and grandmother to settle the account!
"Mingyi, go to the big kitchen and get some food!"
