Chapter Seventy-Three: Two Seven Rings
Hearing this, Qu Yuan could only smile. While the two were talking, Qu Zhenfeng and Qu Mu had already arrived in front of everyone participating in the ring match, and many of the inner courtyard disciples who were about to participate in the ring match stepped forward to greet the two with smiles on their faces.
Qu Qiuyue also pulled Qu Yuan and chatted briefly with Qu Zhenfeng and Qu Mu, Qu Mu said very little, and it could be seen at a glance that he was a taciturn person. And although Qu Zhenfeng is considered to be the strongest among the younger brothers in the family, he has no arrogance in front of everyone, especially when he talks to Qu Qiuyue, he is even more affectionate.
"Brother Qu Yuan, we haven't seen each other for a while, right?" Qu Zhenfeng turned his gaze to Qu Yuan after greeting Qu Qiuyue, and said with a smile on his face.
Qu Zhenfeng has only been away from the Qu family for a few months, before he practiced, he and Qu Yuan were cultivating in the Tianzi-level courtyard of the inner courtyard, although they usually do not have much contact with each other, and the relationship is not close, but it is common to meet. He saw that Qu Yuan and Qu Qiuyue seemed to have a good relationship, so he took the initiative to greet Qu Yuan.
It has been about a week since he returned from the experience, and Qu Zhenfeng must have known Qu Yuan's experience during this period of time.
"I haven't seen him for a few months, but when I see it now, I feel that Brother Zhenfeng is better than in the past, and I must have gained a lot after a few months of experience. Qu Yuan also said with a smile, in front of the first person of the younger generation of the Qu family, he did not show any crampedness.
Qu Zhenfeng was slightly stunned, his brows wrinkled slightly inadvertently, if he didn't pay attention, he wouldn't have seen such a slight change in his expression at all, and he seemed to be aware that there were many differences between Qu Yuan and his own memory, and the whole person's temperament gave people the feeling that there was no shadow of the previous one at all.
"Well, there are many gains, and if you haven't experienced it, you won't know that the outside world is vicious. If it weren't for the help of the Seven Elders all the time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back outside. Qu Zhenfeng's face instantly returned to normal, and he shook his head at Qu Yuan with a smile and said.
"When I have the chance, I will also go out to see, see more, and see more. Qu Yuan nodded and smiled.
"Qu Donglin is here!"
At this time, a voice came out not far from his side, Qu Yuan's eyes flashed, and his gaze followed.
Sure enough, Qu Donglin and Ninth Elder Qu Zhiqi were walking from a distance. This father and son should be the last to reach the ring area.
Under the reflection of the sun, Qu Donglin had an invincible expression on his face, his hands behind his back, and the ring force was running, and the powerful energy fluctuations emanating from his body could be clearly felt from a distance. A pair of gloomy eyes swept towards where everyone was standing, and a touch of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Qu Donglin's expression, Qu Zhenfeng's face also showed a look of anger. A few months ago, in the Tianzi-level courtyard of the Qu family, when Qu Donglin saw Qu Zhenfeng, he greeted Qu Zhenfeng respectfully from afar, and affectionately called Qu Zhenfeng his eldest brother. And now it seems that that scene has become a thing of the past.
However, Qu Zhenfeng's mood adjusted quickly, and the color on his face disappeared immediately, and he didn't care, and even nodded at Qu Donglin with a smile.
Perceiving all the changes in Qu Zhenfeng's expression, Qu Yuan was also secretly surprised, Qu Zhenfeng is by no means simple, not only is his strength stronger than Qu Mu, but his scheming is not comparable to Qu Mu, no wonder he was much more popular than Qu Mu in the Qu family before.
Looking at the bending wood again, the displeasure on his face was obvious, as cold as a lump of ice.
"Donglin, in this family ring match, your biggest opponent is Qu Zhenfeng. Qu Mu, I've already gotten the news that he hasn't stepped into the Seven Environments Realm, so there's no need to worry. So, this time, you can at least occupy a ring without any worries. Also, you'd better not use that attack weapon. While walking, Qu Zhiqi said to Qu Donglin.
What he meant was that Qu Donglin should try to keep some means as much as possible and use them in the City Lord's Mansion selection competition, so that he could be taken by surprise.
"I understand, father, that I won't use the attack weapon you gave me if it wasn't necessary. Qu Donglin nodded, his eyes sharp and arrogant.
In front of the ring, the father and son separated, Qu Zhiqi walked to the high platform, and Qu Donglin walked to the location of Qu Yuan and the others.
After getting closer, Qu Zhiqi really only nodded lightly at Qu Zhenfeng, and the expression with a bit of contempt on his face was not put away, and he didn't even look at Qu Mu more. In his opinion, Kogi was no longer enough to stand on an equal footing with him.
"Patriarch!"
"You're early!"
When Qu Zhiqi arrived on the high platform, he first bowed to the patriarch Qu Qingyun, and then smiled casually at the other elders.
"The Nine Elders came on time. Several elders also responded.
"Donglin, this kid has broken through the Seven Environmental Realms, and now his strength is probably only comparable to Qu Zhenfeng, this time in the ring, Donglin is bound to occupy a place. The Eighth Elder stood up and said with a friendly smile to Qu Zhiqi.
"Haha, the Eighth Elder should not raise Donglin too high, he still has a long way to go!" Qu Zhiqi laughed, although he said so, but from his expression, it could be seen that the Eighth Elder's words made him very happy, and the wrinkles on his face were about to be stretched.
"The Ninth Elder gave birth to a good son, if Donglin can go to Qiye City to participate in the assessment of the Wanchu Academy and the Holy Moon Sect through the selection, it will also be the glory of our Qu family, and the Ninth Elder's face will be even brighter. The Fifth Elder said aloud.
"Donglin is really good, he has good talent, and he is willing to cultivate diligently, the Qu family needs such good seedlings. Qu Qingyun turned around, his gaze fell on several elders, and said with a positive attitude towards Qu Donglin.
"I think that in this ring competition, the two places to participate in the selection competition are Qu Zhenfeng and Qu Donglin. The Eighth Elder rolled his eyes, looked at the other people, and said in a determined tone.
"Not necessarily. Qu Zhiqi waved his hand, his gaze turned, and he looked at Qu Mingyuan with a sneering expression, "Deacon Mingyuan, what do you think? Who do you think will be able to qualify for the City Lord's Mansion selection competition this time?"
Qu Zhiqi looked at Qu Mingyuan's eyes with a bit of banter.
"Hmph, the ring match hasn't started yet, this is not good, no one can decide the result before the ring match starts. Qu Mingyuan snorted lightly and said.
"Yes, Deacon Mingyuan said a lot, it hasn't started yet, who can be sure of the result?" Qu Zhiqi spread his hands and said to several sitting elders with an exaggerated expression, and then he also walked to a chair and sat down.
"Hehe...... Eighth Elder glanced at Qu Mingyuan, and hehe laughed a few times, "Actually, Qu Yuan, this kid, is also hopeful. Recently, this child has been doing very well in the inner courtyard. ”
He has a good relationship with Qu Zhiqi, and when he said this, he was obviously sarcastic, and the sneer on his face was obvious.
"To say something that Deacon Mingyuan doesn't like to hear, although Qu Yuan's child has made a lot of progress recently, he is still much worse than Donglin. The five elders spoke up and said to Qu Mingyuan.
"What about the closer? Qu Yuan is only sixteen years old, how old is Qu Donglin? Whoever will achieve higher achievements in the future, I don't think it may be Qu Donglin!" Qu Mingyuan said coldly.
"Qu Yuan has a lot of potential, I think so!" The Third Elder, who had been silent, suddenly said a word, causing the Fifth Elder, Eighth Elder, and Qu Zhiqi's faces to change.
The status of the third elder Qu Renshen in the Qu family is very high, almost on par with the great elder. The same elders, the five elders and several others were much worse than Qu Renshen.
These three people didn't expect Qu Renshen to speak for Qu Yuan, Qu Renshen sat on the chair, his eyes squinted slightly, as if the words just now did not come from his mouth.
"Deacon Mingyuan, if I can defeat you and get the position of elder, Donglin can defeat your grandson Qu Yuan, and it will always be like this. Qu Zhiqi was silent for a while, looking at Qu Mingyuan and not yin or yang.
Qu Mingyuan's face also darkened, he was taken away from the position of elder by Qu Zhiqi, this was originally a thorn in his heart, Qu Zhiqi was still saying in front of everyone at this time, not saving him any face at all.
"Ninth Elder, let's just wait and see!" Qu Mingyuan said fiercely.
Actually, he really didn't think that Qu Yuan could defeat Qu Donglin in his heart, but the words were here, and it would be even more embarrassing not to say it, just say it first and then see.
"Elders!" Qu Qingyun glanced at a few people, and said in a raised voice.
When Qu Qingyun spoke, everyone naturally kept silent, only turning their thoughts in their hearts.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
Qu Qingyun turned around, took two steps forward on the high platform, and said loudly, the sound covered the entire ring area, and even the guards in the distance could hear it clearly, this was the sound of the ring force.
Qu Qingyun spoke, and all the Qu family members quieted down, looking in the direction of the high platform, looking at the patriarch Qu Qingyun.
"The purpose of this ring match should be very clear to everyone, so I won't say much about it here. ”
"It's almost time, let's start the ring match now! I'll briefly talk about the rules of the ring match. There are two rings below, and the last champion of each ring can be qualified to participate in the City Lord's Mansion selection competition, and will also receive rich rewards from the family. As for the order of fighting, the family does not arrange it, and everyone can fight freely, but when there are two people in the ring, no one else can go to the ring. Qu Qingyun's voice came out slowly.
"In addition, no one can intentionally hurt the other party until the point in the ring match, and once it is determined that they intentionally hurt someone, they will not only be disqualified from participating in the tryouts, but they will also be severely punished by the family, so please remember. Qu Qingyun's face became serious, his voice became much more solemn, and he continued in a rather stern tone.
Listening to Qu Qingyun's words, Qu Donglin showed a cruel smile on his face, and his eyes looked at Qu Yuan not far away. Qu Yuan felt Qu Donglin's gaze, and also smiled sideways at Qu Donglin, but Qu Yuan smiled very sunny and kind, so he almost stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party.
