Chapter 109: Luck
After the second round of competition, the Ye family, the Ao family and other four families won. Together with the Dongfang family with the previous bye, a total of five families entered the third round.
Since the number of families is singular, there must be a lucky family bye. You must know that the family with a bye this time will directly enter the top three, which is great luck!
This time, the Dongfang family has to draw lots again to decide the counterpoint and the bye. But the other four families were not happy.
Dongfang Wentian, the head of the Dongfang family, was standing in the middle of the field, wanting to preside over the lottery ceremony, but the heads of the other four major families flew out at the same time and came to Dongfang Wentian.
Ao Lingyun, the head of the Ao family, turned pale as water, and said calmly: "This lottery should have been jointly responsible for the eighteen families, and out of respect for the Dongfang family, we have already put you in charge of the lottery twice, which is enough to give face." But in any case, you can no longer be responsible for the subsequent draw. ”
Ao Lingyun said plainly, but his tone was very resolute and non-negotiable.
The other three masters also supported Ling Yun's words and stood behind him to back him.
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Wentian's face darkened and he was silent for a moment. Finally, he had to make a compromise: "Okay, it's okay if it doesn't take over my Dongfang family, so who do you think should preside over it?"
The four masters looked at each other, and finally said with Ao Lingyun: "If everyone can be trusted, the old man can come forward to preside." ”
The other three family heads muttered for a while, while Dongfang Wentian sneered with a gloomy face. The last three family heads all nodded, although they didn't know if Ao Lingyun was more fair than Dongfang Wentian, but at least another person would draw lots, so that the benefits would not be taken by the Dongfang family.
"Okay, we agreed to let the proud master draw lots. ”
Everyone agreed, Dongfang Wentian couldn't have any opinions, so Ao Lingyun began to draw lots.
Ao Lingyun came to the box containing the jade signature and said, "It's still the old rule, the family that draws first will fight against the family that draws last, and the family in the middle is lucky and can have a bye. ”
With that, he began to draw lots.
"The first, the Oriental family. ”
"The second one, the Proud Family. ”
After drawing these two, I saw that the faces of the heads of the remaining three major families were not very good-looking, but they also had a little bit of expectation: there were still three positions left, and the best one was undoubtedly the one that was about to be drawn, because this sign represented a bye!
Ye Qishan and the two family masters looked at Ao Lingyun with anticipation, waiting for the third sign to be generated.
"The third ...... Ye family. ”
"Haha!" Ye Qishan immediately couldn't help laughing.
Before this moment, he never expected that such a thing would happen - the pie in the sky fell on their Ye family's head!
I had a bye and went straight into the top three!
After hearing this result, the other two family leaders turned dark. The latter result is no longer much different for them, whether it is against the Ao family or the Dongfang family, I am afraid there is no suspense, and they will lose.
However, they were not too disappointed, after all, they have come this far and finished in the top five. Such a ranking is already acceptable.
There was no doubt about Ao Lingyun's lottery - they didn't draw the bye to themselves, which shows that they didn't cheat, unlike the Dongfang family, who kept all the benefits to themselves.
When Ye Qishan brought back the news of the Ye family's bye, the entire Ye family was boiling.
In this battle of the star pool, their Ye family is really lucky. First of all, on the eve of the start of the competition, there was a savior in the clan - Ren Xiaoyao, with the help of Ren Xiaoyao, he successfully passed two levels in a row and entered the third round. Then, in the third round, by the lucky bye, he was directly sent to the top three!
The top three, this result is already something that the Ye family could never dream of.
"Haha, Xiaoyao, Qingchen, Yangyu, thanks to the three of you this time, you are the heroes of my Ye family!"
"Yes, you are the heroes of the four leaders of the Ye family!"
As soon as Ye Qishan said, the people of the four leaders of the Ye family echoed one after another, surrounded Ren Xiaoyao, Ye Qingchen and Yang Yu, and worshiped them as heroes.
The faces of the three of them were full of smiles, and Ye Qingchen said, "Hehe, everyone has killed Qingchen." The main hero of this meeting is Ren Xiaoyao Ren brother, and Yang Yu and I are just going through the motions. Therefore, the hero of our Ye family's four leaders is Ren Yao. ”
Saying that, Ye Qingchen took the lead in worshiping Ren Xiaoyao, and Yang Yu also followed suit according to the law when he saw this.
Under their leadership, everyone also worshiped Ren Yaoyao together.
"Hero!Hero!Hero......"
There were bursts of shouts, and Ren Xiaoyao was directly lifted up by several people, not thrown into the air.
Being tossed, caught, and tossed several times, Ren Xiaoyao was infected by the joyful atmosphere around him, and couldn't help but laugh. He said loudly: "You don't have to be so polite, I am also a member of the four leaders of the Ye family, and what I do is what I should do!"
"Well said, it is worthy of being the person of the fourth collar of my Ye family!"
"As the four leaders of the Ye family, we should be united, and in addition, learn like the little brother Ren Xiaoyao!"
"That's right, what we need is a member like Little Brother Ren for the four leaders of our Ye family. ”
......
For a time, Ren Xiaoyao was cheered and worshiped by everyone, and his prestige exploded. A few elders who didn't agree with him not long ago were now offering him like an immortal, not to mention how much they treated him.
At this point, Ren Xiaoyao's original goal has been achieved. I believe that even if he doesn't say it himself, Ye Qishan and the five elders will strongly ask him to stay in the core area of the Ye family's four collars, the Mo Ye Collar. And in the Ye family, he is definitely one of the core figures who can get in touch with the highest level, and he is indispensable for the major events of the Ye family in the future, as well as the dealings with other families.
With these conveniences, Ren Xiaoyao was able to slowly explore among the eighteen families and further explore the affairs of the Three Holy Lands and the One Demon Land.
In other words, the original task of participating in this eighteen family meeting, Ren Xiaoyao has already completed. According to the original plan, he could deliberately lose in the later competitions to hide his strength and identity.
But Ren Xiaoyao thought about it and decided not to do it.
This meeting is not only about himself, but also about the competition between the eighteen families. The battle between the star pools is related to the future development of the Eighteen Families and is very important.
Just like the Dongfang family, it was precisely because they monopolized the ownership of a star pool a hundred years ago that they developed rapidly over the past hundred years and became the first in the world that was unmatched!
If you don't earn with them this time, the final first place is likely to belong to the Dongfang family.
When the time comes, the Dongfang family will profit from the star pool again, and I am afraid that it will be even more powerful! In this way, it will be even more difficult for Ren Xiaoyao to deal with them in the future.
In order to contain the Dongfang family, this battle for the star pool must also be won.
Helping the Ye family win is also helping yourself win!
Everyone in the Ye family was already satisfied and was not ready to continue fighting. Because they are self-aware, they know that they can't compete with the Dongfang family and the Ao family. But Ren Xiaoyao is confident: with his own strength, although he is not sure of winning, at least he has a chance!
Dongfang Yu and Ao Shiwu, these two invincible geniuses of the Holy State, this time, I have to compete with them!
......
The excitement of the Ye family dispersed, and Ren Xiaoyao stopped Ye Qingchen and Yangyu: "Brother Qingchen, Yangyu, you come with me." ”
"Oh, where is Brother Ren taking us?"
Ye Qingchen was in a good mood and walked over with Yang Yu.
"It's nothing, let's go and see the competition of the other four together, so as to prepare for the battle later. ”
Ye Qingchen and Yang Yu glanced at each other and agreed at the same time.
But Ren Xiaoyao could see from their eyes that the two of them were a little disapproving. It seems that even these two geniuses of the four leaders of the Ye family have lost their arrogance and confidence in front of Dongfang Yu and Ao Shiwu. None of them planned to prepare for war, because they knew that it was useless to prepare for war.
Ren Xiaoyao didn't say anything, just took the two to the competition venue.
On the sunset field, it is the time of sunset.
Like the blood remnant sun, half of the sky was burned red, and through the clouds, the sun wheel looked incomparably huge. The breeze is blowing, the grass and trees are swaying, and it makes people comfortable.
Not far away, bright stars rose and fell, brighter than the clouds on the horizon. It seems that the geniuses of the four major families are fighting fiercely.
Ren Xiaoyao did not immediately take the two of them over to watch the battle, but stood quietly in the breeze and sun.
"Brother Ren, the competition is still ahead, why don't we go over?" Ye Qingchen asked.
"Well, it's okay not to go. ”
Ren Xiaoyao sighed, with a slight melancholy in his voice, and didn't even look back at Ye Qingchen and Yang Yu.
Hearing Ren Yaoyao's tone, both of them were a little puzzled. It stands to reason that Ren Xiaoyao has just made great contributions to the family with his outstanding performance, and his reputation has spread throughout the eighteen families, which is the most proud time. Why was he depressed and sighed repeatedly?
"Xiao Ren, what's wrong with you, aren't you happy?" Yang Yu walked over slowly, although she was very smug on weekdays, but at this moment she still showed the gentleness that a woman should have.
Ren Xiaoyao directly ignored the other party's title and said, "There's nothing to be unhappy about, it's just that I just saw it." ”
As he spoke, he paced slowly, putting a little distance between him and Yangyu.
"Look at this sunset, whether it is in the Martial Pole Star, the Battle Pole Star or the Holy Pole Star, it shines so brightly, whether you are a genius or a waste, he will not shine on you any more, nor on you at all. ”
"You are looking at the grass and trees all over the plain, just like us, all receiving the sunlight and competing to grow. So saying, he crouched down and pulled out an ordinary straw stick from the grass. "Look, is there anything special about it?"
Yang Yu and Ye Qingchen were both puzzled for a while, shook their heads and said, "It's just a weed, nothing special." ”
"yes, you say it's nothing special. But I will tell you that just before I plucked it, it was the tallest stick of straw within a radius of ten miles, and the best of all weeds. Even so, do you think it's anything special?"
The two shook their heads at the same time, still not understanding what Ren Xiaoyao was talking about.
Ren Xiaoyao got up and pointed to a big tree not far away.
"Look again, what is so special about that tree compared to these weeds?"
"Of course that's special! The big trees are so tall and strong, how can they be compared to the grass and trees!" Yang Yu said hurriedly.
When Ren Xiaoyao heard this, he turned around and smiled at Yang Yu and Ye Qingchen: "You are right again, a big tree is a big tree, and in the same time, the height they can grow is incomparable to that of weeds, and they can't even imagine it." Therefore, this is fate, and there is no way to change it. ”
"No matter how hard a weed tries and how hard it grows, it will always be a weed and will not become a tree. Ren Xiaoyao looked at the two, "Now, you understand what I'm going to say, right?"
Yang Yu and Ye Qingchen were silent.
In silence, both men bowed their heads, clenched their fists, and gritted their teeth. It seems that the two of them are brewing something, and it will explode at any time.
