Hearing Shang Zhentian's words, Ye Qing was slightly stunned.

"I really want to come to something, but this Shang Zhentian does have a life-saving grace for me, and it is not easy to refuse, and this Tianyao Academy is the best academy in Tianyao City, the capital of the Fire Kingdom, and it is also the best academy in the Fire Kingdom, so you can go there to find out if there is any way to wake up Xiaolong. ”

Ye Qing made up his mind in his heart, but naturally he couldn't agree immediately, there were a bunch of people around him.

"Lord of the Merchant Castle, you Merchant Fort is full of talents, so you shouldn't need me as an outsider, right?"

Ye Qing smiled slightly, and looked at the people around him as he spoke, especially a few who had particularly bad eyes.

Shang Zhentian saw Ye Qing's movements, and naturally understood what he meant, Shang Zhentian, as the castle master of Shang Fort, was naturally not a simple-minded person, he looked around and said, "What do you want to say?"

Hearing Shang Zhentian's words, Shang Zhenqiang was the first to stand up and said: "Big brother, this matter must not be allowed, although our opponent is very strong, it is very difficult for the children of our merchant fort to enter the finals, but we can't just find someone to come! ”

Shang Zhenqiang looked at a few middle-aged people on the side again, and continued: "Tianyao Academy is the best academy in our Fire Kingdom, once a disciple of any family or sect can enter Tianyao Academy to study, it will inevitably drive the development of the forces behind it, Tianyao Academy is the number one force in the Fire Kingdom, as long as it is involved with it, it can protect our business castle for decades." ”

At this time, a middle-aged man in a gold silk coat stood up and said, "Second brother is right, now the power of the Sun family has surpassed our merchant fort in all aspects, and has been eyeing our merchant fort. ”

"There is also that Chen family, the power is on par with the Sun family, Chen Tian, the second son of the Chen family, has always been interested in our Rou'er, sooner or later he will come to the door to propose marriage, if we refuse, the Chen family is very likely to unite with the Sun family to deal with us. ”

After speaking, he shook his head, looking worried.

"Hmph! That Chen Tiannai is a playboy, how can he be worthy of our Rou'er, with Rou'er's talent, it should be very promising to enter Tianyao Academy, as long as he can successfully pass the preliminary round. ”

Shang Zhentian snorted coldly and said.

Hearing this, Ye Qing finally understood the situation of the merchant fort, and knew that the enrollment of Tianyao Academy this time was extremely important to the merchant fort.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Ye Qing asked Shang Zhentian beside him, "Lord Shang Castle, I don't know what kind of competition is between the preliminary and final rounds?

Hearing Ye Qing's words, Shang Zhentian had not yet spoken, but he had already begun to discuss below.

"This boy doesn't even know the rules of the game, so he really doesn't know what the castle owner thinks. ”

"Yes, I really don't see anything special about him, and if I can't prove it with my strength, I don't think even the castle lord can force a decision. ”

Shang Zhentian didn't show any surprise, it seemed that he had expected Ye Qing to ask this question.

However, after hearing Ye Qing's question, someone had already taken the initiative to answer.

I saw a shadow walking towards Ye Qing, and when I arrived, I smiled slightly and said, "Hello, my name is Shang Hui, and I am Shang Rou's cousin, let me tell you the rules of Tianyao Academy's admissions." ”

Shang Hui looked like she was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she saw that her eyebrows were like green feathers, her muscles were like snow, her waist was like a bundle, and her teeth were like shellfish, and she was actually a stunning beauty. Compared to Shang Rou, it is only slightly underwhelming.

Ye Qing could see at a glance that her cultivation was a martial artist level six, and she was also among the best among the younger generation of this merchant castle.

"Okay, please. ”

"Tianyao Academy recruits students from various big cities in the Fire Kingdom every year, and the age requirement is under twenty-five, and the younger the age, the more priority is given to admission. ”

Shang Hui gently stroked the green silk on his head, raised his head, revealing a pair of bright eyes, and continued: "They recruit thirty places every year, and we have a total of five places in Lingcheng. In the preliminary round, each family or force can send a specified number of junior disciples, all of whom will participate together, each person will be issued a white jade medal, compete for the jade medal, get the specified number of jade medals and then screen, and the final winner will enter the finals. ”

Hearing this, Ye Qing couldn't help but smile, and immediately understood why the merchants were worried about this preliminary competition.

"It turned out to be such a comparison, the powerful family can naturally let everyone in their family get a sufficient number of jade medals, this preliminary competition is the overall strength, and the strength of the individual is limited, unless the strength of the individual is particularly prominent. ”

Thinking of this, Ye Qing finally understood why Shang Zhentian wanted to let himself participate, presumably because he knew that he could compete with Lin Yan at the level of a martial artist, so he had this plan.

Shang Hui continued: "Each of the three major forces in Lingcheng has a place to directly enter the finals, and the finals are competitions between two and two, and the top five who have won more in the end can obtain the qualification to enter Tianyao Academy. ”

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Thank you for informing, I understand." ”

At this time, Shang Zhentian was talking to the other five middle-aged people in the seat, and when he saw that Shang Hui had finished introducing the rules, he smiled and said, "Ye Qing, how did you think about it, a few of us old guys agreed." ”

Ye Qing saw that the eyes of the other five middle-aged people in the audience had changed significantly when they looked at him, and he could naturally guess what Shang Zhentian had said to them just now. So he nodded and said, "I just want to see the demeanor of this Tianyao Academy, so naturally I have no opinion." ”

Hearing Ye Qing's answer, Shang Zhentian laughed and said, "Haha, okay." With your help, I am relieved. ”

Before the merchants sitting below could react, they all showed surprised expressions, and only a few people had already guessed the general situation of the matter, so they looked at Ye Qing with a smile.

"That's all for today's meeting, Shang Rou, Shang Hua, Shang Ming, Shang Long and Shang Hui stay for a while, as well as Ye Qing. ”

Shang Zhentian said.

Although the others were puzzled, no one dared to question Shang Zhentian, since the few people present did not object, they naturally reached an agreement.

Soon, there were only six merchant elders and six young people left in the hall.

Shang Zhentian looked at the young men with satisfaction and said, "Five of you are going to participate in the competition on behalf of our merchant fort, so there will be one person who will not be able to participate. Among them, Ye Qing, Shang Rou and Shang Hua are definitely going to go, and the other three will decide who will go and who will stay through the competition. ”

Hearing Shang Zhentian's words, everyone did not show any doubts, as if they had expected it a long time ago.

Suddenly, a graceful figure walked out, and bowed slightly after arriving in front of Shang Zhentian.
