Not long after Lu Ziqi and the others left first, the door of the box was pushed open again.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Qiming's eyes, and he touched his chin and sighed: "Brother Lin, how can I call you 'Brother Lin' again?"

The person who came was none other than Lin Youzhi.

Her cheeks couldn't help but turn red, and she feigned anger: "What's the matter?!"

Lu Qiming hurriedly sat upright, nodded solemnly and said, "Very good-looking, very good-looking!"

Lin Youzhi smiled, raised his chin and hugged his arms and said, "It's pretty much the same, count you as if you've passed the test." ”

It turned out that as soon as the auction was over, she changed into a new outfit -- it turned out to be a pink lotus pattern flower cage dress! It was very difficult for Lu Qiming to see her wearing a skirt on weekdays, and he had never heard of "Brother Lin" having pink clothes; this time he really saw it three times before he dared to admit it!

"It seems that Brother Lin, oh no, Miss Lin is in a good mood today. Lu Qiming chuckled.

"Okay, you!" Lin Youzhi made a gesture to hit him, smiled and took out a black crystal card from his sleeve and handed it to him: "Oh!

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Lin Youzhi said: "Didn't you say that there might be trouble in the near future, and I won't 'share the spoils' with you this time." Twenty-eight million, and I saved you a whole number by the way. After a pause, she smiled again: "However, if there is nothing to do, I will ask you with interest!"

Here's the thing-

Lin Youzhi has always been efficient, and taking advantage of the auction, he quickly prepared the medicinal materials that Lu Qiming needed. Lu Qiming took advantage of Lin Youzhi's place to refine the remaining few pills of the black shadow.

At that time, Lin Youzhi was curious and watched from the sidelines; although she didn't know how to refine medicine, she had some eyesight -- she was sure at a glance that Lu Qiming's level of alchemy was definitely above the four grades! In her opinion, it was too tyrannical not to use this point to make money.

Lu Qiming originally intended to make more preparations, and as soon as the two of them put it together, they chose the "Qingling Pill" -- the so-called "True Spirit Enlightenment Pill" pill -- and prepared it the day before the auction -- the three pieces that had been auctioned before.

Rare things are expensive, and 28 million can only be auctioned once, and it will not be so exaggerated if it is done in the future, at least, suspicion is inevitable.

In any case, this is a satisfactory result.

"By the way," Lu Qiming suddenly remembered something, and asked Lin Youzhi: "Are the 'Six Withered Flowers', 'Heart-Touching Wisteria' and 'Ruyi Green Lotus Seeds' that were auctioned before from the Jiang family?"

"Hey, how do you know?" Lin Youzhi was surprised, nodded and said, "I'm still wondering, how could the Jiang family suddenly sell medicinal herbs!"

Lu Qiming couldn't help but shake his head -- what is not clear about this? Ye Zui disappeared five years ago because he was hit by the "Three Thousand Weak Water"; and Jiang Xuecha's regret of the marriage that shocked Zhongzhou was not also five years ago?

Lu Qiming smiled bitterly - it wasn't that he was careless, he really couldn't think of it!

......

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Zui got the antidote given to him by Lu Qiming, he didn't even have time to take it, left a text message, and escaped overnight with his burden.

Soon, the Jiang family also came to apologize, saying that the three elders had a sudden urgency and had to return to the Jiang family immediately, but the other envoys of the Jiang family continued to stay in the Lu Mansion and wait to watch the ceremony.

Lu Qiming was secretly amused in his heart, and he was a little curious about how the marriage between the two could develop.

However, he didn't have to worry about Ye Zui's safety - if Jiang Xuecha intended to take his life, Ye Zui would probably be dead and couldn't die anymore.

Let's hope we have the best of both worlds!

......

The endless spring is stronger, and the pomegranate is red, and it is May.

While the Lu clan was concentrating on cultivation, the seven days were fleeting - the clan comparison was about to begin.

In the area closer to the outside, there is a special venue for the clan - an extremely wide octagonal platform, and the stone slabs on the entire ground have been specially refined, which is extremely strong, even more than the stage of the martial arts.

On it, it is built in a stepped shape in all directions, rising higher and higher, enclosing the central field.

The grandstands of the venue are all simple and uncomplicated, but because they are extremely wide and extremely high, they are particularly spectacular and have the tendency of mountains.

The viewing platform was full of people. But foreign guests only accounted for a small part, and most of them were from the Lu clan.

The Lu clan's clan ratio, naturally, only family-level forces will receive invitations, and as for the previous Lingmen, the so-called "qualification to observe the ceremony" is actually just allowed to add a congratulatory gift to this grand event.

......

The morning breeze is crisp.

All the Lu clan members who were about to participate in the clan competition sat on the ground according to their seniority and age, quietly listening to the admonition of the head of the family, Lu Xingzhi.

This is the first thing that is customary. Every time there is a family comparison, the head of the family will retell the history of the family for thousands of years.

Starting from the ancestor of the Lu family, I will talk about every ancestor who has made great contributions to the family - for thousands of years, ups and downs, and I don't know how much blood and tears are glorious.

The life's work of our ancestors must not be forgotten. The ardent expectations of our ancestors should not be forgotten. The glory of the past will eventually be inherited by the present.

All of these things have long been remembered by everyone in the Lu clan, but no matter how many times they hear it, no one will be impatient in the slightest. Because even the most lazy child knows the meaning of "family" clearly.

For a family like the Lu family, the loyalty of its clansmen to the family is simply unimaginable or incomprehensible to outsiders. This is also the reason why the Lu family can inherit for thousands of years, but they can't.

The family is the root and the leaf.

......

The admonition is followed by a reaffirmation of the rules of the race ratio.

The rules of the family competition are somewhat different from the competition in various martial arts academies.

First of all, what is the most important value of the family ratio?

-- Let the truly outstanding people be seen.

The purpose of the clan ratio is to give the truly outstanding clansmen a chance to show themselves, so that they can get more attention and cultivation from the clan in time. To put it bluntly - the clan is for the "geniuses".

Therefore, the clan ratio never distinguishes opponents by age.

It is good to teach people to know that the word "age" can never be used as an "excuse for being weak", nor can it be used as a "strong battle"!

There is no shame in losing because you are young, and you can afford to lose when you are young. But the family needs to filter out the small group of people who are "younger but stronger". Every time the clan compares, countless elders are the foil of this small group of people.

At the same time, the clan ratio does not limit weapons.

"Being able to master a good weapon" is an excellent proof in itself. The higher the level of the weapon, the higher the ability to control, and the more difficult it is to obtain.

Even if it was given by his father, so what--why should he erase his father's efforts? Why is the Lu family in the family, not because there are more excellent and powerful ancestors than other families?

As long as you receive a little favor from your ancestors, don't resent others for getting more.

The truth of the world is so naked—the weak eat the strong, and the strong get stronger.

What everyone needs to do is not to complain, but to learn to be the strong one.

If not, it's a shame – but let's start by "seeing it for yourself"!
