Chapter Seventy-Four: The Curtain Begins
The Xue family's clan competition finally began, on this day, almost all the young talents in Chuxi Town came to the Xue family's square, for them, observing such a clan competition may benefit them for life.
The heads of various families, powerful figures, and large and small forces in Chuxi Town also came to the scene.
The group shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, and after some duplicity, they returned to the seats that had been arranged for them.
After his eyes swept over the taciturn middle-aged man beside the owner of Zijin Commercial Bank again, Xue Yingfei couldn't help but look at the people beside him, "Do you know who that person next to Zhang Fenglei is?"
Although that person didn't say a word after entering the scene, the momentum exuded from his body made him feel a lot of pressure, and what surprised him even more was that he couldn't see through the other party's strength.
This person is very powerful, Zijin Commercial Bank is really not an ordinary chamber of commerce, Xue Yingfei made a conclusion in his heart.
"I don't know. β
The people of the Xue family shook their heads one after another, this person had never passed by in Chuxi Town, how did they know who it was.
Seeing this person, the pressure in Xue Changlin's heart also increased greatly, you must know that some time ago, because of the robbery of things in the ruins, he also had a little friction with the people of Zijin Commercial Bank.
The strength of the other party also reminded Xue Yingfei of what Xue Changlin had done while he was away, his face turned dark at the moment, and he glared at Xue Changlin and said, "There is more than enough success and more failure." β
One sentence naturally made Xue Changlin half angry, but in such a situation, he could only suppress the resentment in his heart, but some of the thoughts that were originally hidden in his heart began to sprout.
In fact, two days before this, the Xue family had already conducted a knockout match, and ten people were selected from the Xue family's children after the top ten in the last trial, and these ten people plus the top ten at the time of the trial made a total of twenty people to participate in today's clan competition.
This time, the clan competition is not just a name, the top three children of the clan competition can have the opportunity to study at the Xuanwu Academy in Changle City for half a year.
Of course, this is also what their grandfather Xue Yingfei won with great difficulty.
Xuanwu Academy is one of the top ten academies in Chu Yunguo, and entering such an academy has a great chance of being favored by a certain big family or a mentor in the academy, and the future of the favored person will inevitably be limitless from now on, and he will no longer be a small frog at the bottom of the well in Chuxi Town.
Therefore, although many children know that their strength is not good, such a temptation still allows them to break their scalps to participate in this clan competition, but helplessly, most of them have been eliminated in the previous round.
The 20 participants are divided into four groups, and the two winners of each group enter the knockout round, and the final ranking is determined by the knockout round.
In front of the wide square is a test platform that has been built, about 20 meters long and wide, and there are two rows of tables and chairs near the back of the test platform, where are the VIP seats, and the people sitting are naturally the leading figures in Chuxi Town.
Before the clan competition began, the audience on and off the stage was naturally guessing the ownership of the top three this time.
Although Xue Han was the first place in the last trial, no one was optimistic about him at all except for some insiders, because judging from the information fed back from the trial, they simply thought that Xue Han had won the first place in the trial through some shady means.
On the right side of the test table, Xue Han was talking to Xue Li with a smile on his face.
After Xue Han's guidance, Xue Li, whose strength had increased by leaps and bounds during this time, actually succeeded in entering this clan competition.
"Xue Han, aren't you nervous at all. Seeing that Xue Han didn't have the slightest hint of nervousness, but his heart was pounding, Xue Li couldn't help but say a little strangely.
"No, I don't. Xue Han replied.
How could he be nervous when his strength had already surpassed that of the young man present, and he still had such a demon pupil in his body.
"You kid, you really have a big heart. Xue Li couldn't help but praise, and at this time, he suddenly felt that the reason why Xue Han was able to walk out of the Warcraft Forest unharmed last time was simply a factor of strength.
Just when the two of them didn't say a word, the sunlight above Xue Han suddenly weakened a lot, and when he looked back, he saw Lin Chuxue standing in front of him a little helplessly.
"Something?" Xue Han frowned.
Lin Chuxue originally took a lot of effort to convince herself to come over, but seeing Xue Han's lukewarm appearance, she was suddenly so angry that she was angry in her heart, thinking about the other party's help to her in the Warcraft Forest, she didn't start a fire, but her expression became a lot colder, "It's okay, I'm just here to repay my favor, I hope you can have a good ranking." β
"Thank you very much. β
Although Xue Han said this, his expression was not much of a sense of gratitude. made Delin Chuxue feel that his kindness was regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs by the other party, so he stomped his foot fiercely and returned to his seat unwillingly.
Is this about to change?
Listening to what the two of them said, Xue Li on the side was dumbfounded, he originally thought that the other party would inevitably spray Xue Han's blood like the last time he humiliated Xue Han, where did he think that the other party actually came to encourage, what Xue Li didn't expect was Xue Han's attitude and Lin Chuxue's expression, it was like an abandoned resentful woman.
"Xue Han, there is yours. Xue Li couldn't help but give a thumbs up, in his opinion, something unspeakable must have happened between Xue Han and Lin Chuxue.
The young people who saw this scene on the side were naturally as puzzled as Xue Li, thinking of the rumors after coming out of the Warcraft Forest, they couldn't help but have a thought in their hearts, could it be that Xue Han and Lin Chuxue, a lonely man and a widow, could it be that what happened in the Warcraft Forest?
Xue Yi naturally saw the scene of Lin Chuxue walking to Xue Han's side, but he didn't care, thinking that Lin Chuxue was going to humiliate Xue Han again.
However, after hearing the words from others and knowing that things were different from what he thought, his face suddenly changed.
If he is the only one who knows, forget it, but now it is a big court, and this Lin Chuxue is the woman he has predetermined in his heart, this woman actually has an unclear relationship with Xue Han, even if the other party already has the identity of a fiancΓ©e with Xue Han, but how can you make him endure this breath.
Xue Han, I want to challenge you directly, so that you don't even have a chance to enter the top three, at the moment, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he made up his mind.
Then, he stood up and walked towards the guest seats above the competition table.
"What, you want to challenge Xue Han before the clan comparison?"
Although Xue Han and Xue Yi made an agreement after the last trial, Xue Zihan didn't expect Xue Han to make such a request before the clan competition began.
"Yes. Xue Yi replied.
Seeing Xue Yi's resentful face, he looked like he was going to die with Xue Han, Xue Zihan couldn't help but be faintly worried, Xue Yi and Xue Han were both children of the Xue family, and no matter who was injured, he didn't want to see it.
However, think about the agreement made by the two parties before, and there are also rules in the family, the person who ranks lower in the trial of the clan competition can challenge the person who is ranked before, of course, this is just a competition between the two, and the results of the competition are not included in the results of the clan competition, and if you want to achieve results in the clan competition, you still have to participate in the schedule specified by the clan competition.
The reason why the Xue family set such a rule is just to jump out of the box and give those at the bottom of the ranking a chance to make a splash.
Of course, the other side that is challenged can also not fight, after all, fighting represents the consumption of physical strength, and it is at a disadvantage in the next clan comparison, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Therefore, now let's see if Xue Han should fight, as long as Xue Han does not fight, this challenge is also invalid, but thinking of the agreement between the two and Xue Han's surname, Xue Zihan doesn't have to think about it, Xue Han will definitely fight.
Sure enough, after Xue Zihan read Xue Yi's challenge in front of the audience, Xue Han immediately agreed.
"Is this guy's head caught in the door?"
"I really don't know how the dead word is written. β
......
After Xue Han agreed to Xue Yi's challenge, the audience was surprised, although Xue Han has been very eye-catching recently, but they don't think that in just a few months, Xue Han, who was originally a big step behind Xue Yi, can take a big step to catch up with Xue Yi all of a sudden.
They knew that even the most talented people couldn't do that.
Originally, they thought that the reason why Xue Han made such an agreement was simply willful, but who would have thought that Xue Han would agree to it today.
However, looking at Xue Han's indifferent expression, without the slightest hint of panicked expression, they felt that they had made a mistake, of course, this was just a momentary doubt, they still felt that Xue Han was simply reckless.
Originally, in Lin Chuxue's heart, she had always hoped that this day would come as soon as possible, but at this time, she suddenly became a little uneasy.
Hey, Lin Chuxue, before you went to cheer for the other party, it can be said that you returned the favor to the other party, but now, why do you suddenly have such an inexplicable feeling, well, the other party saved your life, how can this favor be returned so quickly, Lin Chuxue found a reason for herself in her heart.
Boy, although you saved Chu Xue's life, but in this world of the jungle, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck, Lin Feng on the VIP seat thought in his heart.
And those who cared about Xue Han who didn't know the inside story were naturally nervous for Xue Han, and even Xue Li's father was inexplicably worried about Xue Han, and Xue Han's help to Xue Li made him abandon his previous disdain and prejudice.
And in a place at the back of the crowd that not many people noticed, Liu Fengzheng folded her hands and prayed silently in her heart, although Xue Yi's strength was very strong, but there was an inexplicable thought in her heart that supported her and made her believe in her son.
