"Squeak!"

The door opened, and a white figure stepped out. At the same time, a feeling like a spring breeze rushed towards the three people outside the house.

This spring breeze soon blew through the entire Ten Thousand Gardens, and in an instant, the originally sad birds flew away at once, and some of the birds also made a crisp chirp when they flew away, and the original sadness was suddenly swept away.

"Three of you are early, are you here so early to enjoy the flowers?"

Ye Qing said with a smile, suddenly, his gaze swept over, and then swept over the entire Ten Thousand Gardens, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"I didn't expect this sadness to be so powerful, and I have to control it carefully in the future. ”

Ye Qing secretly decided in his heart.

"Alas, I don't know what's going on, after a rain last night, this garden of ten thousand has become like this. ”

Shang Rou said, with regret in her eyes, and then said to Ye Qing: "We came to you for something." ”

"Oh, please. ”

Ye Qing stared at Shang Rou and said.

Seeing Ye Qing staring at her, Shang Rou couldn't help but blush slightly, and said, "First of all, thank you for rescuing my brother together yesterday, and my father just finished his retreat and wants to talk to you." ”

Ye Qing smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't do much yesterday, since the Lord of the Merchant Castle is out of the customs, then I'll go for a trip." ”

So, a group of people left the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens.

Shang Jie looked at Ye Qing and muttered in his heart: "It's just a martial artist, why did my father look for him?

Soon, a group of people came to the reception hall of the merchant fort, Ye Qing was already accustomed to the architectural style of this world. That's huge, if you don't know that the people here are no different from yourself, I'm afraid you would think that this place is inhabited by giants.

The parlor of Fort Merchant's is so tall that you can hear the echo when you walk inside.

At this time, Shang Zhentian was sitting on the main seat, and there were five middle-aged people sitting next to him, and these six seats were on the upper floor. Underneath are two rows of seats, all of which are young men and women in their mid-twenties.

Seeing Ye Qing and them coming, Shang Zhentian hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

"Little brother, how is the injury?"

Hearing Shang Zhentian's address to Ye Qing, most of the people in the hall changed their faces at the same time. Especially the five middle-aged people on the first seat, but they only flashed by, and soon returned to their original expressions. The two rows of young people below began to whisper.

"What kind of person is this kid? The castle master is so polite to him, and his cultivation is average."

"Yes, it is estimated that he is a child of a big family, with average cultivation talent, but his status is very high. ”

"It's actually Shang Rou who invites him, this face is really big, I want to know what he is capable of. ”

With his powerful soul power, Ye Qing naturally heard all of their words, but Ye Qing naturally didn't bother with these people.

"Thank you for your concern, I haven't thanked the Lord for saving my life, just call me Ye Qing directly. ”

Ye Qing said with a smile.

"Okay, Ye Qing, please come in!"

Shang Zhentian directly led Ye Qing to the first empty seat under the first seat. This move immediately caused an uproar.

"Big brother, this is not appropriate. Originally, it was already very special for him to come to the meeting of our merchant fort as an outsider, but now let him sit at the head of the young generation of our merchant fort, I am afraid that some people will not accept it. ”

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in black with a gloomy face said.

"Yes, the second uncle is right, if this first seat is to be sitting, it is only right for Shang Rou's sister or Shang Hua's eldest brother to sit, how can a stranger come and sit?"

"Well, yes, you see that Brother Shanghua's face has changed, he is a ninth-level martial artist cultivator, and he is the most talented one in our merchant fort. ”

"That's it, why is he a little martial artist sitting there, we have a big person here who is taller than him, waiting to see a good show. ”

Hearing what the middle-aged man in the upper seat said, there was a sudden discussion underground.

"Shang Zhenqiang, I naturally have my reasons for arranging this, you don't have to say more. ”

Shang Zhentian glanced at the middle-aged man who had spoken before and said, and then asked Ye Qing to sit down.

The man called Shang Zhenqiang snorted lightly and said, "You are the castle master, of course you have to listen to you." ”

Shang Zhentian didn't care about the meaning of his words, he sat directly on his seat, and glanced at the people below with his eyes, and suddenly became silent below.

"Today's main thing is to discuss the enrollment of Tianyao Academy in Lingcheng next month, we have five places in the preliminary round in Shangbao, so let's set these five places today. ”

After Shang Zhentian finished speaking, he looked around, and after waiting for the people around him to nod, he said: "We are still the same as in previous years, and we will choose the five strongest juniors to participate in the preliminary round. ”

"Just do what the eldest brother says, and quickly select the right people. ”

One of the people sitting in the upper seat said.

"The fourth brother is right, according to the realm of cultivation, the top five should be Shang Hua, Shang Rou, Shang Ming, Shang Long and Shang Hui. But considering that there may be some people who have relatively high combat talent and can fight beyond the level. In this way, anyone who wants to participate in the preliminary round can challenge the five of them, and the winner will participate. ”

Shang Zhenqiang said to the people below.

In fact, the merchant castle selects personnel in this way every year, but no one has ever been able to challenge success.

Although Shang Rou was only selected this year, and Shang Rou's cultivation is only known to the senior management of the business, and no one in the outside world knows about it. But still no one wants to come out and take on the challenge.

So Shang Zhentian continued: "The rules of this year are basically the same as in previous years, but in the past, our merchant fort's record has always been average, and even if we passed the preliminary round, we have not won in the finals. ”

After a pause, Shang Zhentian continued: "But this year is different, this year, the young generation of our merchant castle has produced many talents, including high-level martial arts children like Shang Rou and Shang Hua, as well as Shang Ming, Shang Long, and Shang Hui, who are close to the high-level martial arts at the sixth level, and their strength has greatly improved compared to previous years. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the merchant castle smiled, as if they had seen victory.

"However, I have learned that the strength of our opponents has also improved greatly this year, so we don't have any advantages, especially Chen Tian of the Chen family and Sun Tianyi of the Sun family are all martial arts ninth-level existences, and we will still have a lot of trouble if we encounter them. ”

"I wonder what big brother can do?"

The middle-aged man known as the fourth brother before asked.

"Alas, what did this Shang Zhentian call me to listen to them say, wouldn't it be for me to help them participate?"

Ye Qing muttered in his heart.

"That's what I'm going to say, I decided to let Ye Qing go with them to participate in this preliminary competition. After Shang Zhentian finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Ye Qing and asked, "Ye Qing, are you willing to help me with this favor?"
