Chapter 15: Reclaiming the Given Surname
Shen Ling obviously didn't expect that the Li Tong branch would be expelled from the Li clan's ancestral land by the patriarch Li Yuanqing, and glanced at the patriarch with a slightly strange look. Li Yuanqing also happened to look at Shen Ling, looking at each other. Li Yuanqing didn't have the look of scolding Li Tong just now, but smiled at Shen Ling and nodded. Li Qian'er, who was standing behind Li Yuanqing, saw that her father, who was usually unsmiling, actually smiled kindly at Shen Ling for the first time. I couldn't help but stretch out my slender fingers and rub my forehead.
At the same time, I also secretly rejoiced that I really didn't see the wrong person. This Shen Ling is really good.
"Shen Ling still hasn't come to be rewarded?" Li Yuanqing shouted with a smile.
Shen Ling shined in the Li Clan Servant Group and ranked first. He also challenged the children of the Li family successfully, and from now on, he and his family members canceled their servant status, gave Zhen Qi dispersion, and was promoted to my daughter Qian'er sparring partner. Give the surname Li!"
More than 10,000 people in the audience sighed when they saw such a rich reward. But he also had to admire Shen Ling's strength. The last bursts of cheers came out one after another.
Shen Ling couldn't help but feel thrilled at first when he listened to the reward Li Yuanqing said, he had worked hard for so many years and finally got rid of his slave status! But in the end, what Patriarch Li Yuanqing said about giving him the surname Li made Shen Ling's brows tighten.
As soon as Li Yuanqing finished speaking, Shen Ling hurriedly said: "Patriarch, Shen Ling has two things to ask the patriarch for permission!"
Li Yuanqing was in a good mood and smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." Shen Ling replied: "The first thing I want to do is to implore the patriarch to cancel Uncle Li Gang's family as servants, without them, I would not be where I am now." ”
Li Gang, who was in the servants' area, was holding Li Rou's hand, and was curious about what the two things Shen Ling said, when he suddenly heard that Shen Ling's first thing was to ask the patriarch to exempt his family from slavery, he was immediately excited, but the burly strong man's eyes were slightly moist at this moment.
Li Rou also danced happily, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen Ling is the best!
When Li Yuanqing heard this, he did not hesitate, and waved his hand to pass Li Gang forward. Li Gang was still quite apprehensive, it was the first time in so many years that he had such close contact with the patriarch. Li Yuanqing glanced at Li Gang: "The fourfold refining body is also acceptable." From now on, Li Gang will be removed from the status of a servant and promoted to the Li family's foreign protectorate. ”
Li Gang was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly thanked Li Yuanqing and said, "Thank you Patriarch, Li Gang will definitely guard the Li clan wholeheartedly in the future, although he will not regret it!" Li Yuanqing nodded at Li Gang with satisfaction. He waved his hand to retreat.
"Shen Ling, the patriarch of your first thing has agreed, let's say, what's the second thing?" Li Yuanqing was also a little curious.
Shen Ling said in a deep voice: "Patriarch, this second thing is to implore the patriarch to take back the reward of his nature, the boy Shen Ling will never change his surname!" Most of the people present were shocked by Shen Ling's words, this. Slapping the patriarch in the face in front of so many people. This Shen Ling... Strong!
A coercion pressed on Shen Ling at once, but it was fleeting. "Shen Ling, do you know what you're talking about? Do you know that after giving the surname Li with your talent, you can be promoted to a side line in a year or two, and in another year or two, you may be promoted to a direct line and enjoy the resources of the Li family. Li Yuanqing said with a slightly ugly face.
"Patriarch, Shen Ling knows the benefits, but people always have something to insist on, even if the patriarch takes back all the rewards from Shen Ling, he will never change his surname!" Shen Ling replied with no joy or anger.
Li Yuanqing just wanted to speak, but he heard from behind him, "Good boy, this is a man." I am the Thunder Clan Patriarch Lei Li, how about you and I go back to the Thunder Clan, I guarantee that it is more than ten times better than in the Li Clan. "It was the ThunderClan patriarch who was throwing an olive branch to Shen Ling.
"Hmph, the Thunder Patriarch's hand is really long, it actually reached out to my Li clan!" Li Yuanqing looked at Lei Li and said lightly. Lei Li was not polite, and said: "Brother Yuan Qing's words are different, your Li clan has to change the surname of this little brother, but my Lei clan doesn't talk about this, I don't think it's as good as Brother Yuan Qing selling me face and giving me this servant." ”
"Dream! Shen Ling listen, your second thing is that the patriarch is right, by the way, after Li Tong leaves, his mansion will also belong to you, and then reward you to enter the Li Clan's Treasure Hall to choose a spiritual weapon!!" Li Yuanqing was angry and said loudly.
Shen Ling was happy, he didn't expect that he could still benefit from the dispute between the two patriarchs, and just wanted to thank the patriarch, then Lei Li was also unwilling, and hurriedly said: "Little brother, I will give double shares of the reward he gave just now when he joined my Thunder Clan." ”
"Lei Li! Don't go too far, you still dare to do this in my Li clan, do you still take me Li Yuanqing in your eyes?" Li Yuanqing drank.
Lei Li is also not polite: I just love talent, and besides, I can reward Shen Ling more, how can I not accept it? I don't accept you, but you have to come up with some rewards that make people interested in your little brother. Otherwise, give him to me, Brother Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing no longer had the majesty of the patriarch, and shouted at Lei Li: "I'll give him my daughter, how about it!" Lei Li saw that Li Yuanqing was so serious, so he had to sit back in the chair stupidly.
Shen Lingzheng suddenly heard that the patriarch was going to marry his daughter to him, and he couldn't help but be stunned. looked up at Li Qian'er in the stands, and saw that Li Qian'er's cheeks were red as burning, and she didn't walk or walk when she stood still. It's embarrassing.
Li Yuanqing finally came to his senses, but he didn't expect that he even promised his daughter to go out on the spur of the moment just now, and he regretted it. But I can't take it back now, so I have to talk about it another day. He immediately said to Shen Ling: "If you don't understand anything in cultivation in the future, you can ask Qian'er at any time, and you must make persistent efforts not to live up to my expectations of you." ”
Shen Ling did not hesitate: "Patriarch don't worry, thank you Patriarch, Shen Ling retreated first" After speaking, he walked straight back to the stands in the servants' area. Li Yuanqing said casually: "The second round of side competitions begins." ”
Shen Ling sat in the stands and stared at the children of the Li clan who came and went on the stage, and couldn't help but think: It seems that this servant group is not a little worse than the children of the Li family. It's really wise to be able to challenge success. Shen Ling began to narcissist.
Round after round of martial arts competitions are almost over in a blink of an eye, and gradually the top three of the side disciples have been decided, Shen Ling looked at the three of them are not weak, compared to Li Lixuan, it is more than that, but it is still worse than Li Lixuan after taking the pill, it should be about eight levels of body refining. Shen Ling vaguely felt the slightest danger in them, and had to admit that this Li clan had a deep heritage. The collateral is so strong, so isn't the direct line stronger?
Sure enough, the top three of the side group all challenged three direct descendants of the Li family, but only one passed.
"In the last group, the competition of the direct descendants of the Li family begins!" As soon as Deacon Yang Qiu finished speaking, there were bursts of shouts and cheers from under the stage. Just as Li Yuanqing said, in just two or three rounds, the direct group has already seen the high and low, the strongest is Li Qian'er who is dressed in white and wins the snow, no one has more than three moves in her hands, Shen Ling estimates that Li Qian'er should have already stepped into the realm of qi training. Secondly, those are all the sons or grandsons of the elders of the Li family.
Seeing this result, Li Yuanqing sighed without a trace, and finally finished the comparison, and Deacon Yang Qiu shouted: "Li Qian'er, the daughter of the patriarch." First!"
"Li Yun, the grandson of the Second Elder. Second!"" Li Tao, the son of the Seven Elders. Third!"
After Li Yuanqing handed out the rewards for winning the top three in the competition, he said to the clansmen: "From now on, all the side lines can challenge the direct line, and the servants can challenge the side line. Reward for success, penalty for failure. It's time for my Li clan to get things in order. ”
Li Yuanqing didn't know whether to say this to the clansmen or to the four patriarchs behind him. Anyway, Lei Li and Chen Hai's faces were unnatural. Seeing that it was getting dark, the Great Elder ordered his subordinates to start directing the flow of people and preparing to leave. After a whole day, the Li clan Dabi finally came to an end.
Shen Ling and his grandfather separated after they came out of the martial arts arena, and Shen Ling hurried to the giant wood forest to report the good news to the master. But when he arrived at the place where he used to practice, he didn't see the master, Shen Ling was just about to shout "master", when suddenly there was a sound in his ears, "Shh, someone is coming behind you, be careful not to expose the master."
When Shen Ling heard Jiuzun say this, he had an idea, and he punched and kicked the giant wood as he had done in the past few years.
The two people who followed Shen Ling were none other than the Li Clan's Inner Clan. The two of them were speechless for a while when they saw Shen Ling's cultivation method, and after watching it for half an hour, they were really bored, so they rushed back to the clan and replied to the patriarch.
Li Yuanqing sat in the study and listened to the two inner clan guards tell what they saw, and Li Yuanqing's fingers tapped on the table from time to time. Finally, he finally said: "That's it, there shouldn't be any problem with this kid Shen Ling, and he doesn't look like a person arranged by several major families, if it is really a chess piece arranged by the Thunder Clan or the Chen Clan, it will not be so public." I won't let me take back my surname in front of so many people, it seems that he is just a lucky little guy with a little adventure."
