Chapter Twenty-Four: The Outer Disciples

Ye Hengren hadn't arrived yet, the momentum had arrived first, and Ye Qing only felt the pressure on his body relaxed.

Ye Heng followed the messenger into the house.

The patriarch and Ye Yueqiu stood up suddenly.

Ye Qing's gaze also fell on Ye Heng, Ye Heng now looked completely different from before.

In the past, he looked like a Confucian merchant in temperament, both gentle and elegant, shrewd and capable. And now, he is like an unsheathed sword, which can cut gold and jade.

"You've made the cut!" Ye Yueqiu exclaimed, her momentum declining.

In a short period of time, she was hit by Ye Yu's madness, and she was angered by Ye Qing, and she had already abandoned the mask she wore on her face on weekdays, and at this moment her face was full of jealousy.

Originally, there was only a small realm between the two, and Ye Yueqiu could make up for it by being good at alchemy and dispensing, whether it was discussing relatives or dealing with family affairs, he could be regarded as an equal. But at this time, the two of them were two small realms apart, and Ye Yueqiu no longer had any advantage by herself.

Unlike Ye Yueqiu's jealousy, the patriarch was happy.

When her longevity was approaching, the Ye family was able to appear at the next water realm high level, which was the most gratifying thing for her.

This time, Ye Ba did not return, and the patriarch suspected that other families were deliberately assassinating because of the end of their lives.

If the Ye family declines, the benefits handed over will naturally be which one is stronger and which one has more, so once he dies, the other three families will definitely be like a tiger snatching food, and the Ye family will face a great test.

Now that the Ye family has once again appeared in the water realm high-level, it can deter the other three families externally, making them put away their watching, and internally, it can also make the competition for the next patriarch clearer and avoid too much internal friction.

Therefore, in this special period, Ye Heng's promotion is a great good thing for the family.

"Congratulations to Elder Ye Heng on making the cut!" said the patriarch with a smile on his face.

For the patriarch, compared to Ye Heng's promotion to the high level of the Water Realm, the unhappiness just now was nothing.

Ye Heng saluted the patriarch and said categorically: "Ye Qing is a distinguished guest of my family, and she will not go anywhere." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ye Yueqiu coldly.

Ye Yueqiu knew that it was useless for her to say more at this time, she silently turned around and walked to the back hall, the sunlight in the window illuminated her slightly hunched back very conspicuously.

After this toss, it was already noon when he returned to Ye Heng's courtyard.

The Qin clan smiled and welcomed Ye Heng and Ye Qing into the door.

Ye Tianqi had already arranged a table of good dishes, just waiting for Ye Heng and Ye Qing to come back.

Yesterday evening, Ye Qing told Ye Tianqi about her agreement with Yuan Yingying, but the process was omitted, and she only said that she sold the herb to Yuan Yingying at a low price. And Ye Qing definitely told Ye Tianqi that Yuan Yingying had more than half of the chance of winning the competition with her senior brother.

If Yuan Yingying fails, then befriending a Lingdan Pavilion disciple and an inner disciple is not a bad thing for the Ye family, not to mention that this Lingdan Pavilion disciple has a good relationship with the city lord.

If Yuan Yingying succeeds, then the Lingdan Pavilion branch will be built here, whether it is the raw materials of alchemy or the finished products of alchemy, as long as there is a leak in the fingers of the Lingdan Pavilion, it will also be a huge benefit to the Ye family, and the necessity of friendship will be even more urgent.

After hearing this, Ye Tianqi was a little helpless in his joy, and said: "Such an important matter, you either tell me sooner or later, but tell me now, you just don't want me to participate in tonight's beast tide." ”

Ye Qing laughed dryly twice and said, "I also just remembered that I have an appointment with Yuan Yingying tomorrow." ”

Then Ye Qing said with a straight face: "You must be better than me in how to maintain the relationship, this time I will give you such a big opportunity, you have to compensate me well." ”

Ye Tianqi smiled: "I know, I know, I'll go back and prepare to give a gift tomorrow." But what can I do that you can look at, or I'll make a promise. ”

Ye Qing said angrily: "You can go, take a detour to the Bai family, so as not to be too conspicuous." ”

Ye Qing originally didn't plan to let Ye Tianqi help her go to the appointment, but at the moment she was very concerned about the situation outside the city, and she was afraid that Ye Tianqi would be unlucky on this battlefield and be targeted by the demon cultivator, he was not a newcomer like Ye Han who handled the corpses of demon beasts in the back row

Ye Tianqi's family is now an important ally of Ye Qing.

However, for Ye Tianqi's family, Ye Qing also had many doubts in his heart, especially today Ye Heng did not hesitate to offend Ye Yueqiu, but also to protect himself.

At first, when he revealed his extraordinary insight, Ye Qing had already thought about it, if they had any doubts, they would shirk the monks who had traveled before, but Ye Tianqi's family didn't seem to be surprised.

Later, after the conflict with Ye Yu, Ye Heng was even more relieved that he was detoxifying the Qin family, and the Qin family did not have any intention of asking questions about Ye Qing's various methods except for admiration.

Now it's even more because of himself that he has completely offended Ye Yueqiu.

Ye Yueqiu is not a simple character, Ye Qing only knew this last night.

Last night, after Ye Qing got rid of a few people behind him, he immediately put on an invisibility cloak and came to the area where Ye Ba and Ye Yu were located.

Ye Yuxiu's cultivation has increased greatly, Ye Qing naturally wants to see what new means she has added, after all, this will be her long-term enemy, so she must know herself and her opponent.

At that time, Ye Ba condensed four shields and protected Ye Yu and the others to rest.

Suddenly, Ye Ba said, "You four avoid it." As he spoke, he condensed four spiritual power shields and enveloped the four people who followed them, seemingly isolating the hearing of the four people.

Ye Ba asked in a tentative tone, "Ye Yu, I heard that your father is about to turn twenty years old, when will he come back to visit his relatives?"

Ye Ba's words made Ye Yu a little surprised, she said: "It's due next year, but my grandmother doesn't let everyone talk about this." ”

Ye Ba smiled and said, "Elder Yueqiu didn't let everyone talk, he deliberately downplayed everyone's expectations, hidden your strength, and allowed you to grow up in peace and stability." Now that your father is about to pass the twenty-year limit, he can naturally shelter our medicine hall, and we don't need to be so low-key in the future. ”

Ye Yu nodded, when she was very young, her father went to the Heavenly Sect, a sect that was said to be far away from Red Heart City.

When she was a child, her grandmother always told Ye Yu that when her father stayed for 20 years, he would come back to see her, and at that time his father would be very powerful and would teach all those who bullied her.

But as she grew older, her grandmother rarely mentioned it again and forbade her to talk about it with others. At that time, my grandmother said: "Yu'er, now that I am in charge of the medicine hall alone, if I remind others from time to time that I have a son who has entered the sect, wouldn't it cause too much jealousy and jealousy." ”

From then on, whenever someone talked about Ye Yu's father, her grandmother would always say with a melancholy look: "Twenty years have passed, and my feelings have become estranged, and I am very satisfied to come back to see our grandchildren." ”

After talking too much, Ye Yu really thought so in his heart.

Now that Ye Bayi prompted, Ye Yu's brain also turned around.

Ye Qing on the tree knew that Ye Yu still had an amazing father.

It is estimated that Ye Yu's father was admitted to the sect as an outer disciple after he became an adult.

Ye Qing is naturally familiar with the mode of sect management, each sect will recruit a large number of outer disciples, these outer disciples half of the time are regarded as miscellaneous labor, and half of the time they can get the guidance of the sect in cultivation.

The conditions for the recruitment of outer disciples are low, and many inner disciples stand out from the outer disciples, but at the age of Ye Yu's father, who has already become a father, there should be no chance.

The family relatives of these outer disciples are generally outside the sect. In order to ensure their own interests, the sect will require the outer disciples to cut off contact with their families, and they will not leave the sect for 20 years after entering the sect. After the expiration of the twenty-year period, you can choose to stay in the sect or leave the sect.

Twenty years is enough time for many people to forget their friends, dilute their family affection, and become a member of the sect willingly from now on. Of course, there are also many people who are nostalgic for the original rich and easy life and return to their hometowns.

These people who leave the sect, whether out of gratitude to the sect or for the purpose of putting gold on their faces, often show off and exaggerate the various lives of the sect, so as to further enhance the reputation of the sect and attract more monks to the sect.

In fact, the outer disciples only came into contact with the periphery of the sect, and their arrival and departure were like changing bricks for the sect.

An outer disciple is not worth mentioning to the sect, but for a small border city like Red Heart City, it is a mysterious and powerful existence. Even if the cultivation is not outstanding, the experience and know-how gained from cultivating in the sect are enough to attract many supporters.

Didn't Ye Heng even care about such an existence?Or did he not know about Ye Yueqiu's son?
