Chapter 58 The Drawing of Lots
"Oh?"
Chen Tong turned his head and said with a serious face: "Baishan, the big competition is not child's play. ”
"Junior, sure!"
Chen Baishan gritted his teeth and said chiseledly.
It's really a shame now.
But compared to keeping the status of the lineage, the gossip of others is nothing!
After thinking about it, Chen Baishan was relieved.
What's more, Chen Ping also gave him some sweetness, and Chen Baishan was moved in his heart.
During this time, he was grounded in Chen Hongjie, also to prevent the news from being exposed, but fortunately, Dabi was caught off guard by one of the other two pulses on the same day.
"Then Ping'er, come on stage!"
Chen Tong opened his mouth kindly.
"Yes!"
Chen Ping hugged his fists, no longer hiding his breath, and lightly touched his toes on the spot and flew onto the field.
"You've practiced qi at the eighth level, Ping'er, you've made great progress, and the future is promising!"
Chen Tong said tepidly and comfortingly.
"Patriarch Xie's praise is all thanks to the great cultivation of the family and the patriarch."
Chen Ping said humbly.
"This kid is very sensible, but his temperament has changed a lot compared to previous years."
Chen Tong couldn't help but look a little more in his eyes, and thought quietly: "It's a pity, the result of the big competition has already been clear." ”
The funeral of Chen An and his wife was settled by him personally.
After all, they died fighting for their families, and Chen Tong also increased his pension by a few percent.
After that, he didn't continue to take care of Chen Ping.
He has a lot of opportunities, how can he have the spare time and energy to cultivate an ordinary junior with a mid-grade spiritual root.
"It's so hateful!"
Chen Hongjie clenched his fists and pinched the tiger's mouth purple.
He should be the one standing on the square platform!
He should be the one who is praised by the patriarch!
All eyes are on, and the clansmen should also pay attention to him!
Now all this has been robbed by cousin Chen Ping!
"Hongjie, are you still not convinced?"
Chen Baishan was very angry, and said coldly: "Ping'er's strength, you have also seen it. ”
"My monks, be ashamed and courageous, instead of complaining and jealousy here!"
"Dad, do you really think of your cousin as a lifesaver? Let's wait until he wins the big competition, so that he can have a lot of fun. ”
Chen Hongjie replied in annoyance, and then closed his eyes.
"You!"
Seeing his son's disrespectful remarks, Chen Baishan still wanted to teach, but considering that the competition was about to start, he could only temporarily suppress his anger.
Chen Ping walked past Chen Xun and listened to his yin whisper: "You are really unexpected!" Hehe, pray that you won't get me, or I'll beat you until you get to your knees begging for mercy. ”
"Livestock bark incompetently, poor people don't know it!"
Chen Ping moved his lips with a mocking smile.
"It's just a matter of tongue, but in the arena, I want to see how you use your intrigues!"
Chen Xun suppressed his anger, and his eyebrows were glued to one place.
He and Chen Ping have a deep grudge.
A few years ago, when he was competing for the position of town guard in Lantian Town, he cultivated to Gao Chenping, which was an advantage.
But Chen Ping was insidious and cunning, and actually tricked him into getting in.
At that time, he took over the task of the family and was ordered to purchase a batch of red moon flowers.
Red moon flower, one of the auxiliary materials for refining Bigu Dan, has a market price of thirteen spirit stones.
Because of the popularity of Bigu Dan, red moonflower is actually not very easy to buy.
This is especially true for large quantities.
However, a monk from other places who claimed to be the manager of the Great Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to come to the door and was willing to sell him one hundred and fifty plants at a low price of ten spirit stones.
The only requirement is to hope that he can match up and hope to do long-term business with the local overlord Chen family.
Chen Xun pondered it repeatedly, but finally he couldn't bear the evil charm in his heart, and reported it to the family at the unit price of thirteen spirit stones, and he was greedy for the difference in the middle.
Who would have expected that the so-called chamber of commerce manager was invited by Chen Ping to act.
The next day, Chen Ping exposed him.
The human and material evidence gathered, and Chen Xun could only admit it.
Although the family's losses were not large, it also caused displeasure from the higher-ups, and Chen Xun lost his qualifications to compete.
Chen Ping, who set him up, not only did not have anything at all, but also got his wish to enter Lantian Town.
Chen Xun didn't believe that the elders of the family were all old and dizzy, and they couldn't see through the weirdness.
But he did make a mistake first and was greedy for the family's public wealth.
As a result, he had to eat Coptis dumbly and sent out the town guard position in front of his eyes.
"It's not easy for me to be a predecessor."
Chen Ping pondered.
But now he is more unscrupulous.
Fighting a snake is a three-point crime.
Chen Xun is obviously a poisonous snake that will be avenged.
"How can there be such a deep hatred between the same people?"
Seeing that the two of them were tense and had a tendency to fight without saying a word, Chen Tong snorted coldly, sent two transmissions respectively, and reprimanded.
Chen Xun's face was shocked, and he quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
Chen Ping clasped his hands together and glanced at Chen Dieyu next to him inadvertently.
This year's big competition is deeply in line with his wishes.
Being able to teach two little guys who don't know each other at once is really something worth laughing at.
"Humph!"
The grievances between juniors, Chen Tong was too lazy to delve into them.
Anyway, with him a master in the middle stage of foundation building supervising on the side, I don't believe that a few juniors who practice qi can still make any moths!
"This year's lineage qualification continuation competition is officially opened!"
"Combatants Chen Ping, Chen Dieyu, Chen Xun."
"There will be one bye in the first round."
Chen Tong looked at Chen Yiru and said kindly: "Yiru, you come to organize the lottery." ”
"Good!"
Chen Yiru responded, danced in the fairy skirt, and spread out three jade slips with a color like snow.
"Two of these three jade slips are engraved with incense burners, and the other is blank."
"It's very simple, draw two people with a pattern and have the first round of fighting."
"Draw to the blank, bye. Jump straight into the next round and wait for the winner of the first round! ”
Chen Yiru's lips opened slightly: "You each choose one." ”
"The middle one is empty."
Chen Ping's ears flickered, and Chen Yiru's voice floated faintly.
"Huh?"
Chen Tong seemed to feel the fluctuations of the divine consciousness around him, and immediately understood the inner situation, and was annoyed, and said secretly: "Yiru, Yiru, they have all been promoted to elders, how can they still be as willful as before!" ”
Then he shook his head silently, and did not debunk her small movements.
The horizontal and vertical endings are the same, so why bother falling out with people of the same rank.
Chen Yiru's face was expressionless, but his heart was relieved.
If the iron-faced and selfless Great Elder was here, of course she wouldn't dare to play tricks.
But Chen Tongma is a sleek character who judges the situation.
I shouldn't be more serious with her because of this little thing.
"Chen Ping, you choose first!"
Chen Yi is like a dignified way.
"Yes."
Chen Ping was slightly stunned, and stretched out his hand to the nearest jade slip.
"There's an incense burner inside!"
Chen Ping reported the results in a timely manner, and his face was not panicked at all.
"You stupid calf! Are you going to be angry with Elder Ben! ”
Chen Yiru glared at him fiercely, his cheeks covered with frost.
Rao was so angry with her heart that she almost couldn't hold back her scolding.
"Hey, what's going on, didn't you just send a message to Chen Pingdou?"
Chen Tonghu looked at the two suspiciously, confused.
"Dieyu, you smoke next."
Chen Yiru said indifferently.
"Yes!"
Chen Dieyu responded obediently and chose the jade slip in the original middle position.
Chen Dieyu sank into his heart and looked at it, and replied truthfully: "Elder, it's empty. ”
"In the first round, Chen Xun vs. Chen Ping!"
Chen Tong immediately announced.
There are only three jade slips in total, and the last one doesn't need to be drawn.
