Chapter 8: Seven Days!!
"Brother Ye Chen, you have to work hard, you can't lose to Sister Ye Xuan. Ye Fei showed a sweet smile, indescribably quiet and pleasant. Ye Chen's meridians had been fully restored, and she firmly believed that with Ye Chen's talent, she should be able to regain her confidence soon.
"If it weren't for the fact that I had to spend Xuan Qi every month to help me warm up my meridians, I'm afraid that my cultivation would have surpassed Xuan'er. Ye Chen showed a look of reminiscence, in the past three years when the meridians were broken, every time the moon was full, he would die of pain and come back to life, Ye Yuan had to forcibly convey Xuan Qi to him every time, help him warm the meridians, and save him from pain. If it weren't for this, Fei'er's Xuan Qi would probably have broken through the seventh order or even higher.
The people of the clan talked about it endlessly, in the troubled times, human life was as cheap as mustard, and the family became a shelter for every eighth chapter seven days!!!
They are still quite excited about this news.
Ye Zhantian also said something about the operation of the Ye family's mines, shops, etc.
"Seven days later, it will be a five-year ancestor worship ceremony, notify all the Ye family members who have been practicing and doing business outside, and rush back within seven days, and send someone to inform the old patriarch and ask him to come out of the mountain. That's the end of today's clan meeting. "Ye Zhan Tiandao.
"Wait. Just as everyone was about to disperse, Ye Moyang, the great elder next to him, suddenly spoke up.
"Is there something wrong with the Great Elder?" Ye Zhantian looked at Ye Moyang, and an undetectable light flashed in his eyes.
"Today's clan meeting, it just so happens that the clansmen are here, I have something to say!"
"I don't know what the Great Elder wants to say?" Ye Zhantian asked.
At this time, Ye Zhanlong, Ye Zhanxiong and others also paid attention to Ye Moyang, and they had a faint bad premonition.
"The old man discussed it with the other five elders, seven days later, it will be the seventh day of the eighth chapter of the fifth year!!The ancestor worship ceremony, it stands to reason that it is time to determine the successor patriarch, I don't know what the patriarch thinks?" Ye Moyang squinted his old eyes and looked at Ye Zhantian and asked.
The ancestral system of the Ye family, in addition to having a patriarch, also has to elect a successor patriarch among the younger generation, who is in charge of two ancestral seals, one large and one small, and when the patriarch encounters an accident, the successor patriarch will take power and take over the position of the head of the family.
Ye Jiabao's succession to the position of head of the family was originally handed over to Ye Chen to inherit, but after Ye Chen was attacked, Ye Chen's seal letter was temporarily kept by Ye Zhantian, and the position of successor patriarch has been vacant for three years. Therefore, Ye Moyang proposed at this time to re-elect the successor head of the family.
The people of the Ye family talked a lot.
"It's time to elect a successor patriarch. ”
"The succession patriarch has been vacant for three years, which is a bit out of line with the ancestral system. ”
The sound of their private discussion, Ye Moyang was very proud when he heard it, the election of the successor patriarch is a matter that everyone expects, and Ye Zhantian may not be able to delay it for long.
Among the younger generation, there are only a dozen descendants who are qualified to compete for the position of the successor head of the family, if it is about strength, Ye Xuan ranks first, but Ye Xuan has obtained the entry qualification of the Qingyun Sect, and will not compete for the position of the successor head of the family at this time. Ye Fei is in the Ye family, belongs to outsiders, and has been fostered in Yejiabao since childhood, although her strength is good, she is not qualified to compete for the position of successor to the head of the family, so the only one who is most likely to win the position of successor to the head of the family is Ye Kongyan, the son of Ye Moyang.
Hearing Ye Moyang's words, Ye Kongyan's face suddenly showed excitement and excitement, succeeding the head of the family, this is definitely a great honor for him, getting the position of the successor head of the family, and two years later, he is also the most qualified to marry Ye Xuan, and it is more likely to become the head of the Ye family in the future, and then Ye Jiabao will be decided by him!
Ye Zhantian frowned slightly, although he knew that Ye Chen's meridians had been restored, but it had only been restored for a few days, and he was not able to compete for the position of successor to the head of the family.
"The battle for the succession to the head of the family is tentatively scheduled to take place in three months. Ye Zhantian groaned.
"Why should it be set in three months, this is not in line with the ancestral system!" Ye Moyang argued.
"The eldest brother has said that it will be carried out in three months, Elder Ye is inevitably too anxious, can't he even wait for three months?" Ye Zhanlong on the side said in a deep voice.
"Seven days later, there will be an ancestor worship ceremony, why not do it at the ancestor worship ceremony? We have to wait until three months later, if the patriarch can come up with a convincing reason, we will naturally accept it!" Ye Moyang didn't give an inch, and secretly thought to himself, Ye Zhantian is delaying time, this matter, if it is late, it will change, and it must not be delayed for a long time.
"There is no reason, as the patriarch, don't I have the power to make such a decision?" Ye Zhantian snorted coldly, he looked around at the eager eyes of many clansmen on the field, glanced at Ye Chen's side, and sighed in his heart, after Ye Chen's strength improved, he would definitely help Ye Chen take back the position of successor family head. But seven days later, the ancestral seal, which represents the power of the family, was handed over to Ye Kongyan and Ye Moyang, and he was unwilling.
"Isn't the patriarch going to be arbitrary again?" Ye Moyang sneered and said, "Three years ago, the patriarch insisted on going his own way, causing the Ye family to fall into such an embarrassing situation, just ask now, Ye Jiabao is in Lianyun Eighteen Forts, how many can it be ranked? The ancestral system cannot be broken, if the patriarch still insists, I have decided to impeach the patriarch with the Council of Elders!"
The incident that Ye Moyang said three years ago was that Ye Zhantian ordered the whole clan to be mobilized to save Ye Chen, and the precious herbs consumed at that time were enough for Ye Jiabao's income for more than five years, and later Ye Chen used a large number of Qi Gathering Pills.
Hearing Ye Moyang's words, Ye Chen clenched his fists, this sentence said Ye Moyang's heart, Ye Moyang just wanted Ye Chen to die!
Ye Zhantian snorted coldly, and looked at the elder group next to him, the five elders were sitting precariously, all of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at Ye Zhantian's eyes.
"I, Ye Zhantian, became the head of the Yejiabao family at the age of seventeen, when Yejiabao was almost expelled from Lianyun Eighteen Forts, for more than 20 years, Yejiabao's strength even caught up with Yunjiabao for a time, I said that it was scheduled to be three months later, it was scheduled to be three months later, and it will never be changed, if you want to be impeached, then impeach. Ye Zhantian's tone was resolute, and there was a powerful power on his body.
Ye Moyang's face turned blue with anger, he understood that it was impossible for him to take Ye Zhantian at all, Ye Zhantian's prestige in Yejiabao was incomparable, the five elders were jointly impeached, and all the clansmen had to vote to remove Ye Zhantian from the position of patriarch, and it was impossible for him to shake Ye Zhantian's position in the family. However, he must put his son on the throne of the successor head of the family, which will never be shaken!
"The patriarch is so domineering, I'm afraid it's hard to convince the people. When the old patriarch comes back, I will naturally show the old patriarch and ask the old patriarch to decide!"
Ye Moyang could only grit his teeth and swallow this breath.
"Father, the family's selection of the successor to the head of the family is a major family event, so it will be scheduled for the ancestor worship ceremony in seven days. Ye Chen suddenly walked out of the crowd and kowtowed to Ye Zhantian, he didn't want to affect his father's prestige in the family because of himself.
Ye Chen's abrupt voice stunned the Ye family's clansmen, they didn't expect that Ye Chen would actually stand up at this time.
There were a few sighs from the crowd, Ye Chen is the son of the patriarch, with the feelings of the clansmen towards Ye Zhantian, they are a hundred willing to let Ye Chen become the successor patriarch, but now, Ye Chen's meridians are broken, and he is already a wasted person, in this world where force is supreme, a wasted person is categorically unable to lead the entire family.
Ye Kongyan glanced at Ye Chen and snorted coldly, isn't this wasted person still delusional, and wants to get the position of the successor head of the family, right? The position of the successor head of the family is still determined by competition, this is the ancestral system, and it will definitely not be changed!
Ye Zhantian looked at Ye Chen, sighed for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Then it will be set for the ancestor worship ceremony in seven days!" He also understood how much criticism would be incurred if the selection of the successor to the position of head of the family was scheduled in three months, he originally thought that for Ye Chen, he would have to resist the pressure no matter what, but seeing Ye Chen say this, he also gave in.
Ye Moyang glanced at Ye Chen gloomily, he didn't understand why Ye Chen would stand up at this time, and after thinking about it, Ye Chen was already a waste, no different from being set in seven days and three months later, could it be that Ye Chen, a waste, still wanted to compete with his son for the position of head of the family?
The clan meeting dispersed, and a group of clansmen discussed the ancestor worship ceremony seven days later, and they were quite emotional.
A messenger eagle flew up and flew towards the north, which was specially designed to deliver a message to the old patriarch.
Yejiabao, Ye Zhantian's residence.
"Chen'er, are you confident that you will win the position of successor to the head of the family in seven days?"
"The child did his best. Ye Chen couldn't be sure if he would be able to win against Ye Kongyan.
"If you can't win, that's it. What kind of Cheng Dù have you regained your strength now?" Ye Zhantian said, he didn't want to put too much pressure on Ye Chen, Ye Moyang's abacus was very fine, how could he not know, if Ye Kongyan was allowed to obtain the position of successor to the head of the family, Ye Moyang's next step was probably to attack him, and Ye Moyang's private transaction with Yun Jiabao, how could he not know. But he won't be so afraid of Yunjiabao!
"The child has now recovered to the fourth order. Ye Chen said, at present, his Xuan Qi level is the fourth order, but the Xuan Qi in his body is a little weird, the Pure Cheng Dù far exceeds the ordinary Xuan Qi, how much strength he has, even Ye Chen himself does not know, Ye Chen estimates that his current strength may be comparable to Ye Kongyan. There are still seven days, and these seven days, he is confident that he can go further.
"Fourth-order, Chen'er recovered very quickly, if he could go further, he should be able to defeat Ye Kongyan. Ye Zhantian was relieved, Ye Chen's meridians had just recovered, he guessed that Ye Chen's strength was only one or two orders at most, but he didn't expect that it was already four orders, which made him very surprised, plus Ye Chen had some martial arts foundation, and it was not completely out of chance.
"My father got you dozens of Qi Gathering Pills, you can take them back and use them. Ye Zhantian took out a brocade box from the dark compartment next to him, and there were thirty-seven fragrant Qi Gathering Pills in it.
"Father, there's no need, you don't need to collect Qi Gathering Pills for me in the future, I don't need it. Ye Chen's eyes turned red, now he had to receive the baptism of Xuan Qi gushing out of the flying knife in his body every day, and the ordinary Qi Gathering Pill had no effect at all. In the past three years, he has consumed thousands of Qi Gathering Pills, and now the family's financial resources have been greatly damaged, and he has no money to collect Qi Gathering Pills.
"My father gave you the Qi Gathering Pill because I wanted you to win the championship in one fell swoop at the ancestor worship ceremony, so that the position of the successor head of the family would not fall into the hands of Ye Moyang's father and son!
"Father, the child has recently cultivated the Thunder Emperor Technique, and he seems to have realized that he does not need to use the Qi Gathering Pill anymore. Ye Chen said resolutely. !!!
