"Bang bang bang!"

"Ye Chen, it's me, Ye Zhan. ”

Just as Ye Chen was carefully recalling Mo Lao's advice to him, there was a sudden unhurried knock on the door in the small courtyard.

Retracting the Yanyang Sword, a long-lost friendly smile appeared on Ye Chen's face.

"Brother Ye Zhan, why do you have time to come over today, shouldn't the family be very busy recently?" Because he went to the City Lord's Mansion yesterday, Ye Chen already knew the reason for the cancellation of the Cangyue City Family Competition, in addition, the selection of the Ye family's young family master was also imminent, and Ye Zhan, who was a strong contender, should be practicing in the martial arts arena at this time, instead of appearing in Ye Chen's inaccessible courtyard.

"Alas, I'm not worried about the two of you, although Ye Chen, you have only refined the body ninefold, but your cultivation speed five years ago was too terrifying, in my opinion, you will definitely not be able to stand alone in the selection of the young master of the Ye family this time, so after thinking about it, I still have to persuade you, what the second uncle said still has some truth, you had better go to the medicine garden outside the city to avoid the limelight first, after all, Ye Chen, you are the descendant of the Ye family, no matter who wins the position of the young master at that time, I don't think I will do anything to you now." Ye Zhan picked up the tea on the table, poured himself a cup, and said while drinking.

"Well, what Brother Ye Zhan said is that Ye Xi and I have already planned to do so, after all, the two of us really don't have any say in the current Ye family, but the identity of this Ye family's descendant has always been entangled in me, and it is indeed a little troublesome to think about it. Ye Chen also poured himself a cup of tea, and now the Ye family is full of deceit of power, especially after the patriarch and grandfather retreat, the struggle for power among several elders has become more and more intense, this time the battle between the young masters of the Ye family will not be so calm, Ye Chen, who has seen clearly that these elders in the family, would prefer to be with those rough men on the rivers and lakes, and do not want to continue to stay in this complicated Ye family, in this case, it is also a good choice to take this opportunity to move to the Ye family's medicine garden outside the city.

"Huh, since you think so too, I'm relieved, the third uncle left you back then, and there has been no news back for so many years, after my sister-in-law left, I also know the situation of the two of you, but I really can't do anything, Xiaochen, now this Ye family is different from the Ye family when we were children. Ye Zhan seemed to suddenly have a lot of emotion, he got up and patted Ye Chen's shoulder.

"Brother Ye Zhan, why are you here. Just as Ye Chen wanted to answer, Ye Xi, who was dressed in a green shirt, jumped out of the room.

"Xiaoxi, you've been in good spirits lately, eh, this is the eightfold body refining. Alas, it seems that Xiaoxi, your talent is much higher than that of my big brother, but the cold poison in your body can still break through one after another, it's a pity, alas. Because of Ye Chen's advice, Ye Xi and Ye Chen were just running the latent technique at any time when they stayed in the Ye family, so Ye Zhan, who had just been promoted to the Xuan Dynasty, didn't know that the strength of the two younger brothers and sisters in front of him had surpassed him.

"It's okay, Xiao Xi is used to it, it's just that I've troubled Brother Ye Chen all these years. Does the eldest brother want to stay and eat with us? Anyway, we haven't eaten with anyone else in a long time. Ye Xi shook his head to show that he didn't care about the cold poison in his body.

"Alas, I would like to stay a little longer, but you should have heard about the recent situation of the Ye family, my father gave me a death order, I have to go back and continue to cultivate, I won't bother today, Xiaochen Xiaoxi, be careful yourself." Ye Zhan got up and touched Ye Xi's head, then turned around and walked out of the small courtyard.

"Brother Ye Chen, what is this?" Ye Xi watched Ye Zhan leave with a helpless expression, but turned around and saw the two bottles of pills he left on the stone table.

"Alas, Qi Induction Pill and Qingxin Pill, Xi'er, Brother Ye Zhan is the only person in this Ye family who regards us as relatives now. Ye Chen's expression at the moment also became extremely complicated, should he do something to help Brother Ye Zhan.

After having lunch with Ye Xi, Ye Chen changed into the familiar black robe again, and called Pan Zheng to come to the Star Hall together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I want to announce a piece of news, from now on, Qi Yun will succeed me as the deputy hall master of the Star Palace, and when I am not in the Star Palace, I will have an overview of all major matters, and the black-robed man and the big brother Bai Feng next to me, together with Li Hu, will serve as the three envoys of Tianshu, Tianxuan, and Tianji among the Seven Star Envoys, from now on, the Seven Star Envoys will only accept the transfer of the hall master, and they don't have to make a move unless the Star Hall encounters a crisis in normal times. ”

With the increasing formation of the Star Palace, Ye Chen understood more and more that the current Star Hall lacked a real peak powerhouse, in this Cangyue City, the five major families would never want to see a force that could be equal to them appear, fortunately, the recent major families were preparing for the selection of Tianlan in ten months, and they didn't have the energy to interfere with the development of the Star Hall again. Therefore, in the remaining period of time, if you want to come to the Star Palace, you won't encounter any big crisis, so it is undoubtedly the top task of the Star Hall to improve the top combat power of these Star Hall again.

Looking at Ye Chen, who was dressed in a black robe, he pulled a man in black to serve as a star envoy, and many martial artists in the hall subconsciously pulled the corners of their mouths, fortunately, there were still Bai Feng and Qi Yun, otherwise the high-level leaders of the Star Hall in the future would probably become a group of black-robed people.

"Ahem, this, you are surprised, although I Chen Ye has not shown my face so far, but everyone has seen what I have done for a period of time, I Chen Ye dare to promise that I will not do anything that harms the interests of the Star Hall and any behavior that violates the faith of my brother. As for the one next to me, his identity is really a bit special, so let's just call him Black Knife. As if seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Ye Chen had no choice but to explain.

"Yes, by the orders of the Lord of the Temple. ”

After continuing to discuss some things with the high-level of the Star Palace, Ye Chen rushed back to the Ye family in a happy mood, and even spent six thousand Xuan Shi on the way to buy Ye Xi a spirit jade bracelet of the fourth grade of the spirit rank.

Well, Brother Ye Zhan is right, if you want to get out of the Ye family's young master selection this time, moving to the medicine garden outside the city is indeed the best choice, it just so happens that I should spend a lot of time staying in the Star Hall during this period of time, Ye Xi's cultivation cannot be exposed, it seems that the sooner you leave, the better, okay, let Xiao Xi clean up when I go back today, but I don't know if I can see it in the future when I live in this small courtyard for so long.

Approaching the door of the Ye family, Ye Chen found that the family guards on duty today were extremely restrained, because he was in a hurry to explain some things to Ye Xi, Ye Chen didn't think much about it, and rushed back to the small courtyard, but at this time, Ye Chen didn't notice the eyes of the family guards who had to gossip with him in the past.

"Xiaoxi, I'm back. I thought about it, we really should move to a medicine garden outside the city, and I may have been a bit busy lately, so moving out is definitely the best option. Just walked into the small courtyard, but Ye Chen didn't find Ye Xi's figure, looking at a few rays of sunset on the horizon, Ye Chen thought to himself that this girl was probably thinking about something delicious again.

"Xiaoxi, did you hear what I said? I'll make dinner today, you can clean up your things. He shouted a few times at the room, but Ye Chen didn't hear Ye Xi's voice.

Feeling that something was wrong, Ye Chen hurriedly ran to the kitchen, but found that there were still half-cut ingredients on the table, but Ye Xi disappeared, opened Ye Xi's door, and then pushed open his own door, but Ye Chen's whole person suddenly froze in place, and half of his steps stopped abruptly.

"Why are you here—Grandpa. ”

"Yes, I don't know why, I suddenly want to see you, I haven't seen you for a few years, Xiaochen, you've grown up. "I've grown up, but I've grown up.

I saw that in the room at this moment, an old man dressed in a black brocade robe, with a kind face but sharp eyes, was sitting opposite Ye Xi, he looked at Ye Chen with a rather relieved look, and Ye Xi opposite him was already crying pear blossoms with rain.

"One mysticist has four products, one mystic has one product, Chen'er, you brothers and sisters have really suffered over the years. The old man who spoke at this time was undoubtedly Ye Canglan, the head of the Ye family who had been in retreat for five years, as the strongest person in the entire Ye family, Ye Chen and Ye Xi had not yet cultivated the latent technique to the home, so naturally they couldn't block his sharp gaze.

"Is it hard? It's okay, it's just a little tired, the patriarch came here today and I don't know why?" Looking at the kind old man in front of him, Ye Chen's heart was filled with uncontrollable sadness, if he could have explained one more word to the people of the Ye family, then Ye Xi would not have been tortured to death every time the cold poison attacked over the years, and he would not have to wander between life and death in that dueling arena.

Looking at the stubbornness in Ye Chen's eyes, the old man could only smile bitterly, as a child he grew up with, Ye Canglan is undoubtedly one of the people who know Ye Chen the most in the entire Ye family, this kind of stubbornness from the bones, unless a long time has passed, it is really difficult to eliminate. Ye Canglan naturally knew the resentment in Ye Chen's heart, but his situation was really involuntarily at the beginning, and he didn't expect that the current Ye family's family affection had become so weak that he would let the two children who were about ten years old fend for themselves, all of which was his fault after all.

"Silly boy, don't say anything about moving out, no matter what, you are a child of my Ye family, and I am the grandson of Ye Canglan, what the Ye family owes you over the years, grandpa will slowly help you get it back." Taking a deep look at Ye Chen, Ye Canglan left Ye Chen's courtyard with heavy steps.

Looking at Ye Xi, who still couldn't stop crying, Ye Chen sighed slowly and hugged this weak woman into his arms.

"Silly girl, don't cry, isn't there still Brother Ye Chen, my aunt said, let me take care of Xiaoxi, if you cry like this today, Aunt Lanyue is going to be angry with her brother again. Ye Chen patted Ye Xi's back gently, as if he wanted to tell her that the Ye family still had him.

The girl stopped sobbing, raised her head to look at Ye Chen, wiped away her tears, hugged Ye Chen gently, and then walked back to her room.

Looking at Ye Xi's obviously trance-like steps, Ye Chen suddenly felt distressed for this girl's strength, for five years, she had insisted on surviving every outbreak of cold poison, and she still remembered what she said when she was ten years old.

"My mother is gone, grandpa is gone, Xiao Xi will definitely insist, Xiao Xi will not let Brother Ye Chen alone. ”

Walking to the window with his hands on his back, Ye Chen looked at the sunset on the horizon, just like back then, but now he finally has a little ability to protect Ye Xi and fulfill his promise to his sister-in-law, at least in the current Cangyue City, Ye Chen can guarantee that no one can ask Ye Xi to do anything she doesn't want to do, as long as she is willing to stay in the Ye family, then Ye Chen will accompany him, what about the young master of the Ye family, as long as she is unwilling, no one can.
