Volume XXXIII The Ring Conference
While speaking, Chen Yihe took the Chen family's peers to the front row, and after seeing Ming Xuan and Ou Zhiyang, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
Ou Zhiyang likes to make friends, and most of the disciples of the Chen family's generation are about the same age as him, and he is actually familiar with each other, and they all stepped forward to say hello, only Chen Yihe and Haoyue stepped forward to greet Mingxuan.
"Gu Gongzi, after such a long retreat, is the injury better?" Chen Yihe asked with concern.
"Tired Brother Chen cares, it's almost better!" Ming Xuan said with a slight smile.
"Gu Gongzi, it's been a long time!" Haoyue also came up, said sweetly, sure enough, a hostile gaze suddenly shot around, just now I greeted everyone, Haoyue was just a polite greeting, but now she took the initiative to step forward, and it is inevitable to make people reverie, not to mention that he is the hero of rumors.
"Long time no see, are you okay now?" Mingxuan secretly had a big head, but his words were still very polite.
"It's going to be the New Year, how can you ban me anymore!" Haoyue smiled softly, enough for the ice and snow to melt.
"That's good, communicate more with your father and mother in the future, and you won't be so stiff. Ming Xuan said with concern, the time spent with Haoyue is not long, it is not short, in his opinion, Haoyue is a very thoughtful and ambitious person, but in the eyes of others, especially her parents, she still thinks that she is just a child.
"Well, I know!" Haoyue nodded and said with a smile, although there are many people in the hall, there are not many people who can really understand her, and Mingxuan is one of them.
"Hurry up and take your seats, the feast seems to begin. Ming Xuan waved goodbye, if Hao Yue didn't leave, he would be killed by the hateful eyes around him.
Chen Yihe and everyone also sat in the second row, although they were separated by a few tables from Mingxuan, but the two of them didn't look so abrupt.
"Strange, who else are there at our table, why haven't we seen anyone yet?" asked Ou Zhiyang suspiciously.
"Yes, Chen Yihe is here, and the people who come will not be more important than them. "If it's a guest, you should come early.
Just when the two were puzzled, a group of people came in outside the door, but there were very few who got up to say hello, it seemed that it was not from the Chen family, Ou Zhiyang Dingqing looked at it, and it turned out to be an old acquaintance.
"Sure enough, the road is narrow, you can't hide!" Ou Zhiyang smiled helplessly.
Ming Xuan turned his head and looked, it turned out that the person who came was the same group of Confucian disciples they had met in the teahouse before, but this time there were more people, and the leader was replaced by a middle-aged man, Wu Qingfeng stood on his side, it seemed that this person should be their senior brother.
This group of people walked straight to the second row where Ming Xuan and the others were, and instantly filled the remaining empty seats, while Senior Brother and Wu Qingfeng sat at the same table with Ming Xuan.
"Ouch, it's really fate!" As soon as he took his seat, Wu Qingfeng immediately recognized the two of them, and immediately said arrogantly.
"Yes, it's really fate! Do you want me to give up my seat this time?" Ou Zhiyang was willing to show weakness, and immediately said-for-tat.
"You ......" Wu Qingfeng choked and didn't continue anymore.
"Luo Xiang, a disciple in the Lower Hundred Academy, dare to ask what the two of you are called?" Seeing that the junior brother and the person seemed to be a little discordant, the senior brother Luo Xiang hurriedly came out to play the round, but he looked polite and said hello.
"Qingyang Sect disciple Gu Mingxuan. Ming Xuan returned the salute.
"Disciple Ou Zhiyang. "Ou Zhiyang is also courteous.
Hearing that both of them had a great background, Wu Qingfeng's face changed slightly, and he didn't make a sound anymore, and being able to sit in the second row also proved that the two of them were not simple.
"It turned out to be a disciple of Taoism, fortunately, I will be lucky!" Luo Xiang looked gentle and elegant, quite Confucian.
"Su asked the Confucian disciple to be gentle and elegant, knowledgeable and reasonable, I will see you today, fortunately!" Ou Zhiyang said with a smile, but only Ming Xuan and Wu Qingfeng understood the deep meaning.
Hearing this, Luo Xiang only thought it was a compliment, and hurriedly replied humbly, but Mingxuan just smiled and said nothing, and Wu Qingfeng's face was not so good-looking.
After a while, some people came in one after another, and the other seats at Mingxuan's table were also full, they were representatives of other sects in Bingcheng, it seemed that the characters at their table had some backgrounds, Baixuetang and other sects in Bingcheng were quite in contact, and they were relatively familiar with each other, and they talked very happily for a while, but in the end, it was Mingxuan and Ou Zhiyang who left an order.
In the end, Chen Tianming and his brothers and sisters of the same generation finally appeared, and for a while, all the people in the hall stood up and stepped forward to say hello, their eyes showed more admiration, it seemed that Chen Tianming was still quite prestigious in Bingcheng.
The remaining first row is also full, it seems that Chen Xinfeng and the others will not participate in the New Year's banquet, it is true that they have cultivated to their situation, they are used to Qing cultivation, and they no longer like such a lively scene, and now it is Chen Tianming who is in charge, their descendants, how can they appear to be suspicious of dominating the guests.
Now that the head of the family has arrived, then the banquet has officially begun, after Chen Tianming came to the stage to give a speech, everyone began to raise their glasses and drink, the New Year's banquet is the family banquet of the Chen family, nothing more than a banquet for all the disciples of the Chen family to gather together, exchange and deepen each other's feelings, it is nothing special, and everyone's thoughts are not here, but the next ring conference.
As a big family, the Chen family has been inherited for thousands of years, and it has been scattered for so many years, and countless small families have long been formed, in this world of martial arts, the Chen family is not exempt from vulgarity, all families are proud of their families to be able to make breakthroughs in martial arts, the higher the family's martial arts strength, the higher the prestige obtained in the Chen Mansion, and the higher the treatment and respect received, if you are really strong enough, and have strong leadership, even if you are the head of the family, it is understandable, in fact, every head of the family is elected in this way。
The ring conference is an important means to test the strength of a family, in the ring conference Xiàn outstanding disciples, not only will let everyone be familiar with and remember, but also can get the Chen Mansion to provide heavy rewards, but also very likely to get the favor of the master of the clan and accept as a personal disciple, that means that you will soar in the future, so every Chen family disciple is quite looking forward to the ring conference, which is also an important means for the Chen Mansion to maintain its own strength and motivate the disciples to study hard.
The New Year's banquet ended very early, in fact, everyone's minds were not at the banquet at all, and they gathered in the square after eating early, and it was black.
"Why do I feel that there are more people in the venue than at the banquet?" Mingxuan and Ou Zhiyang also had dinner early and crowded to the side of the venue to watch the excitement.
"Nonsense, the New Year's banquet is just a family banquet in the Chen Mansion, and each family can send a representative, and the ring conference is related to the status and development of the family in the Chen Mansion, so it is naturally more concerned, and there are naturally more people who come to watch the battle!" Ou Zhiyang said disapprovingly.
"That doesn't seem to have anything to do with us, right?" This kind of ring conference is just for ordinary disciples, if you are promoted to a spirit person, it is the object of Chen Fu's key training, and there is no need to participate in such a competition at all, now Ming Xuan looks at such a competition, it is like watching a group of children fighting, there is really nothing to see, but he can't resist Ou Zhiyang, and he was forcibly pulled over.
"That's not necessarily! It is said that this year, the Chen Mansion has increased the amount of rewards, and the highest reward can be obtained with a magic weapon!" Ou Zhiyang is exquisite, and he is also very well-informed.
"Magic weapons, it doesn't seem to be of much use to the capable, right?" The spirit of the Chen family disdains to participate in such a competition, and they can't pull their face to compete with the capable.
"Just because you can't use it now doesn't mean you won't need it in the future! Who doesn't want to prepare for their future!"
"Well, that's true, but it still doesn't have anything to do with us, right?"
"It is precisely because of the increase in rewards that many disciples at the peak of the capable will compete in the competition, and they must be very good-looking at that time, and there are also characters who have won a good ranking in the Nine Great Sect Disciple Exchange Conference! Don't you want to see the unique martial arts of the Chen family?" Ou Zhiyang is a very lively person, and he will definitely not miss this kind of excitement.
"Okay, then let's stay and take a look!" Ming Xuan was also a little interested when he said this.
Chen Tianming also knew that the ring conference was the focus of everyone's attention, and he was not verbose at the moment, and after a short speech, he announced that the ring conference had officially begun.
"Are there any rules for this ring conference?" This is the customary rule of the Chen Mansion, Chen Tianming naturally won't say more, but Mingxuan doesn't know.
"There are no rules, it all depends on the meaning of the individual, you can freely choose the opponent to fight on the stage, or you can accept the challenge of others as the champion, although there are many disciples in the Chen Mansion, but everyone knows each other better, so the level of cultivation is also relatively clear, the ring competition allows you to show that you are not only strong in strength, but also in your progress this year, so you can freely fight, but most of them are disciples who are relatively close in strength, if the strength is much stronger than you or far weaker than you, they will naturally not choose you, too strong you are not an opponent, too weak will also be felt that you are not confident。 Ou Zhiyang said briefly.
"Isn't this very messy?There are so many disciples in the Chen Mansion, can everyone figure it out?" Ming Xuan was still confused.
"The Chen Mansion itself also has its own martial arts hall, and the disciples are also divided into different levels according to their strength, how can they not figure it out?" Ou Zhiyang said angrily.
"Didn't you say that it would be over, how did I know?" Ming Xuan suddenly became enlightened at this time.
"There are so many disciples of the Chen family, how can there be no martial arts? This is basic common sense!" Ou Zhiyang was speechless.
While the two were chatting, two young disciples who were about seventeen or eighteen years old walked into the ring hand in hand, announcing the official start of this year's ring conference.
