Chapter 14: Returning Home
Leaving the Wood Spirit Rune, holding the 50,000 golden ticket given by Mi Wuhua, Yi Tian bought a lot of materials from the Treasure Pavilion according to Fu Lao's request.
Out of the Treasure Pavilion, Yi Tian originally wanted to return to the cave and let Fu Lao refine the battle talisman and continue to cultivate. After thinking about it, he hadn't returned to the Yi family for more than half a year, and suddenly missed his father a little, and although his cultivation had improved, he hadn't learned the family's combat skills.
"My own wood spirit talisman will be auctioned in ten days, so stay at home for a few days during this time. ”
The gate of Yijia.
The Yi family belongs to a big family in Xinsi City, and there are two guards guarding the gate every day, and at this time, two guards in black short-shirted practice clothes are chatting.
"Huang Er, your kid's cultivation has improved again, and now he is about to reach an intermediate fighter. A tall man with a scar on his left eye said to another man.
The man named Huang Er has a simple face, is a little shorter, full of muscles, and tightens his practice uniform.
"Well, it's going to be soon, there will be a year to break through at most, thanks to the patriarch's last order. Speaking of the patriarch, Huang Er's eyes showed admiration and admiration.
The tall man sighed, and said with some envy: "I am also really unlucky, I was under the second master, and after entering the Yi family for a few years, I suffered a lot, and I didn't get any benefits." At this time, the tall man's face changed, and he said a little mysteriously: "However, in two years, the second master may take the position of the patriarch." ”
The tall man's name is Zhao Bao, a junior fighter, and Huang Er entered the Yi family as a guard, but he was assigned to Yi Zhonghai's subordinates, and in the past few years, he was born and died in the Yi family, but the treatment he received was not as good as Huang Er's under the patriarch, and he gradually became dissatisfied in his heart.
However, Zhao Bao is also thoughtful, the changes in the Yi family, he sees in his eyes, Yi Tian, the only son of the patriarch Yi Zhongshan, has a low cultivation and slow progress, and there is no hope of entering the core of the Yi family, and Yi Zhongshan has also been greatly affected, and the patriarch's status has been shaken. His younger brother Yi Zhonghai may take advantage of this to ascend to the throne, and at that time, Yi Zhongshan's direct subordinates will be excluded and suppressed, and those who have been loyal to Yi Zhonghai from the beginning will be reused, and they will rise to the top and have a bright future.
Hearing Zhao Bao's words, Huang Er became a little silent, he had also heard some things about the Yi family, knowing that these rumors might be true, he could even understand how much pressure the patriarch was under.
"Alas, if Young Master Yi can reach one star a year, then the pressure on the patriarch will be reduced a lot, and things will take a turn for the better. ”
However, over the years, from Yi Tian's cultivation at the age of seven, to last year's family test, one star in three years, and now he is fourteen years old, even if he reaches the cultivation speed of one star a year, his achievements in the future will not be too high, except for the patriarch, everyone else has given up on Yi Tian.
"Look, that person seems to be Young Master Yi!"
Just when Huang Er was thinking wildly, he was awakened by Zhao Bao's shout, and when he looked closely, he saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old black-clothed young man, who was slowly walking towards this side, the black-clothed young man had a slender figure, a delicate face, and some childishness, especially his bright eyes, as if starlight. Although it has changed a little from more than half a year ago, Huang Er still recognizes Yi Tian, the young master of the Yi family who is rumored to be in retreat and penance by the young man in black.
"Hello young master!"
When Yi Tian approached the gate of Yi's house, Huang Er and Zhao Bao saluted together.
Yi Tian naturally knew the two of them, nodded with a smile, and walked into the Yi family's compound.
"It's strange, how can Young Master Yi give me a lot of changes, whether it is temperament or cultivation, I can't even see what level he has reached. Zhao Bao stared at Yi Tian's back, his eyes were puzzled, it is said that he has reached the level of a fighter, and ordinary fighters who are below the cultivation level, he can see eight or nine at a glance, but this time Yi Tian gave him the feeling that it was like a fog. It seems that through a veil, it is not clear to see.
Huang Er nodded slightly, but his eyes were full of brilliance, he also couldn't see Yi Tian's cultivation clearly, but after all, his cultivation was higher than Zhao Bao's, and he vaguely felt that Young Master Yi's cultivation had improved, and it was likely to be a great improvement.
"Young master, the patriarch has put all his hopes on you, you must not let the patriarch down. ”
Yi Tian's return home also attracted the attention of some people.
In a luxurious attic northeast of the Yi family, Yi Zhonghai was discussing things with the three elders.
"Third uncle, the Yi family's annual test of the younger generation disciples is about to start in three months, see if you can take this opportunity to let Yi Zhongshan step down. Yi Zhonghai held a cup of hot tea in both hands and sent it to the three elders, with a smile on his face.
The third elder picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and said, "It's difficult, it took me a lot of effort to exchange for Zhongshan's resignation for two more years, after all, there are still great elders and second elders in the Yi family." Besides, the Great Elder is about to be out of the customs. At this time, it is even less likely to act rashly. ”
Hearing the Great Elder, Yi Zhonghai's face also had a hint of reverence in his face, "I don't know if the Great Elder can break through to the Intermediate Battle Phase? The Great Elder has been staying in the Primary Battle Aspect for almost twenty years, if he can't break through this time, I'm afraid he will stop here." ”
For the Great Elder, Yi Zhonghai still respects it very much, the Great Elder has avoided many family crises for the Yi family's birth and death, if it weren't for him, the Yi family would not have gained a firm foothold in Xinsi City, and shocked all the large and small families in Xinsi City with the cultivation of the primary battle phase.
Speaking of retreat, Yi Zhonghai suddenly thought of a person, his eldest brother's son Yi Tian, who heard that he was also in retreat, which made Yi Zhonghai secretly amused several times.
A junior with the power of three-star warfare, where is the use of retreat, in Yi Zhonghai's opinion, Yi Tian is a broken jar, knowing that he has no hope, he hid, and the province was ridiculed, if he was in Yi Tian's position, I am afraid that he would also hide, even if it was this family test, it would not appear.
Yi Zhonghai was chatting happily with the three elders, and a subordinate had something to tell him, and said a few words in Yi Zhonghai's ear. Yi Zhonghai's face changed, and then he smiled.
"What's the matter?" the third elder asked casually as he drank tea on the side.
Yi Zhonghai's voice was mocking: "Yi Tian is out of the customs." ”
The cloud building in Xinsi City, the cloud building is the most famous restaurant in Xinsi City, and the people who come in and out of it are either rich or expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to spend it at all.
At this time, on the third floor of the Ruyun Building, in a richly decorated private room, several young men in pale red clothes were eating and drinking, if someone with vision saw the clothes they were wearing, they would be able to know that several of them belonged to the Yi family's disciples. One of them, tall and with a fierce bald head, is particularly eye-catching, it is Yi Qiang.
"Brother Qiang, in this year's family test, you must be the first. A sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked disciple poured Yi Qiang a glass of wine and said flatteringly.
"That's, does this need to be said? Brother Qiang is the first every year, just like the Yi family waste is the first to last every year. A fat teenager next to him said. It's just that this sycophant didn't shoot in the right position, Yi Qiang was about to pick up the glass and drink, when he heard this, he snorted coldly, banged, and put down the wine glass heavily.
"Yi'an, are you itchy to compare me with that family waste. When it comes to Yi Tian, Yi Qiang has a lot of fire in his belly, especially the slap that Yi Tian once slapped himself, which made Yi Qiang almost unable to control his temper. Afterwards, I wanted to take revenge, but the person was gone, and no one knew where they went. Externally, it was a retreat, but Yi Qiang thought that Yi Tian was afraid of himself and deliberately hid.
Yi Qiang already regarded the first place in the family test as something in his pocket, but his goal was not only that, but to break through the fighter and become the first person in the Yi family to reach the warrior before the age of fourteen. In that way, the Yi family will really pay attention to themselves and cultivate themselves with all their might. At that time, he will be the next ironclad patriarch. And after becoming a fighter, the patriarch Yi Zhongshan will agree to marry Yi Xuan'er to himself. And Yi Qiang knew that the faster he progressed, the greater the chance that his father would get the position of patriarch.
Although Yi Qiang is anxious to become a warrior, but where is it so easy to break through as the first real bottleneck of the warrior's cultivation path, becoming a warrior requires condensing the whirlpool of combat strength, Yi Qiang tried twice and failed, fortunately, although he failed, his cultivation will not retreat, but if he tries to condense again, he must re-stabilize it for at least a month. Seeing that the Yi family's test was only three months away, and he only had two chances, Yi Qiang was also a little anxious in his heart, so he took a few of his friends out to relax and relieve the pressure.
While Yi Qiang and the others were eating and drinking, the door of the private room was suddenly opened, and a sturdy man in a black shirt walked in. Yi Qiang was slightly stunned, the person he recognized, named Zhu Yang, was his father's confidant, and he didn't know what to do with him.
Zhu Yang forcibly saluted Yi and said, "Young Master, Yi Tian is back." ”
"What!" Yi Qiang stood up suddenly, anger growing in his heart like a madweed, his body touched the table, and the wine and food were scattered all over the ground, but he didn't notice it.
"Okay, well, after hiding for so long, I finally appeared, and my brothers left, and went to settle accounts with him. After speaking, Yi Qiang was about to walk out of the private room with the smell of wine and the evil aura all over his body.
"Wait, young master, the master has explained, let the young master hold back during this time, and wait until the family test is over. Zhu Yang saw that Yi Qiang was leaving, and hurriedly said loudly. Yi Zhonghai knew the contradiction between Yi Qiang and Yi Tian, and he also knew his son's temperament, so he was afraid that Yi Qiang would not be able to hold his breath and ruin his own good deeds. That's why Zhu Yang came to warn Yi Qiang. Although Yi Zhonghai looks down on Yi Tian, but Yi Tian is the son of the patriarch after all, if he is injured by Yi Qiang's mistake, I am afraid that the matter of taking over the patriarch will be resolved, and the great elder is about to leave the customs, so he must be even more cautious during this time.
Zhu Yang's narration made Yi Qiang slowly calm down.
"The test of the Yi family will be carried out soon, Yi Tian's kid may not even be able to break through the four stars, after the family test, I will settle the old account with you." Yi Qiang touched the cheek that had been beaten by Yi Tian with his hand, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of viciousness.
