the next day.
Wuchen and Ningxue got up very early, but the sun obviously got up earlier than them. The wind is sunny and the sky is cloudless. Everything in the Ye Mansion was as usual, except for the two parties involved, no one knew that a "big event" actually happened last night. Ye Wuchen also never thought that Ye Shuiyao would tell this matter. With her character who seemed to care so little about everything, maybe she wouldn't take this matter too seriously. Because after all... They are still siblings in name.
At this moment, Ye Wuchen had already changed into the luxurious snow clothes that Xiaolu gave him, his hair was tied up, he was extremely handsome, there was a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was a hint of arrogance in his demeanor, Staring at Xiaolu's eyes, she almost couldn't find the north. Wang Wenshu was even more satisfied, because her son was not only outstanding in appearance, but also changed obviously. He was no longer as indifferent as yesterday. It is smiling, which means that he has begun to accept this home.
What a perfect boyish image... Ye Wuchen said to himself after looking in the mirror.
After breakfast, the Ye family immediately got busy, Ye Nu and Ye Wei all went out, Ye Wuchen took Ningxue around the huge Ye Mansion, and found that he seemed to be an idler.
"Xiao Qi, go shopping with me. Xiao Ba will stay here. If Madam looks for it, tell me that I went shopping and I will be back soon. Oh yes, go and prepare a fan for me."
"Yes!" Ye Qiyeba responded at the same time. Soon, Ye Ba took a white jade fan and put it on both hands.
Ye Wuchen flicked it in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Xue'er, let's see if my brother looks a bit like a young master of an aristocratic family."
"As long as it's an older brother, he'll always be the prettiest." Ningxue blinked her eyes and answered irrelevantly.
"I knew you would say that." Ye Wuchen smiled dotingly, then waved his fan: "Xiaoqi, let's go."
Ye Qi hurriedly followed. Any fool could see that this young master who was not smiling yesterday seemed to be a different person today, and seemed to be in a surprisingly good mood.
The streets are bustling with crowds of all kinds, showing the prosperity of Tianlongducheng. Ye Wuchen held a fan in one hand, and Ningxue in the other, walking swaggeringly in the middle of the road, his nobility and arrogance were undoubtedly revealed, coupled with his amazing appearance, he stood out from the crowd like a chicken, and passers-by subconsciously cheered for him Getting out of the way caused some unmarried women to look sideways, but immediately they bowed their heads sadly, ashamed of themselves. Because such a temperament is definitely not something that ordinary big families can cultivate.
Although the news of the return of the missing young master of the Ye family has spread throughout Tianlong City, but since the former young master of the Ye family rarely went out, few people would know him at all. Even if someone saw him once in a while, they would forget him long ago, so no one would recognize him, "Xiao Qi, how far is it from the imperial palace?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"Go back to Young Master, it's very close, it only takes less than half an hour's walk, and if you ride a horse, you will be there very quickly." Ye Qi replied.
"Oh...then let's go and have a look around the palace."
The imperial palace is in the northwest of the Ye family's mansion, the closer it is, the denser the crowd will be. After walking for more than ten minutes, Ye Wuchen frowned and asked; "Xiao Qi, is there something going on recently? Most of the passers-by here are young, in a hurry, and dressed in different ways. They will subconsciously look around while walking, Obviously have never been here or rarely come here. Is there any gathering in Tianlong City today?"
"Young master is wise. Tianlong City will hold an annual juvenile talent selection competition at Tianlong Royal Academy in the past few days. All people under the age of 25 can participate. The emperor will personally watch and select talents. So many people came to participate People who compete and watch."
"Oh? What's the comparison?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"This... is divided into literary and martial arts. The literary competition comes first, and the martial arts competition comes second. This year's literary competition just ended the day before yesterday, and the martial arts competition starts tomorrow. Tomorrow is the preliminaries. Multiple matches are held simultaneously to select the real strong players." The emperor won't watch it. The day after tomorrow is the real strong competition, which also attracts the most attention every year. And today is the last day for registration. Ah... Young Master, just go and see that and you will know." Ye Qi His eyes lit up and pointed forward.
There is a big announcement on the wall, and such announcements are all over the city now, and they happen every year. Few people don't know the content, at most they can confirm the time, so there is no phenomenon of crowding around. Just as Ye Wuchen was about to approach, his footsteps suddenly stopped, because he saw a figure from the back that left a deep impression on him.
Contrary to Ye Wuchen's gorgeous white clothes, he was dressed in black, and a bit worn out. Standing quietly under the announcement, his whole body was motionless. sharp edge.
This person Ye Wuchen just met yesterday in front of Mengyan Tower, when he was supporting a middle-aged woman who seemed to be blind and walked past him, her indifferent breath and eyes sharper than that of a hungry eagle Let him firmly remember this person.
Walking to his side, Ye Wuchen roughly glanced at the announcement. Aside from those wordy opening remarks, the content is basically the same as what Ye Qi said. Tomorrow is equivalent to a trial match, and the day after tomorrow is the competition for the real young strong. The rules of the game are challenges.
Ye Wuchen's eyes slanted slightly, and looked at the young man beside him, who was about the same age as him, with a thin figure and a cold face, but found that his eyes were firmly fixed on the lower part of the announcement.
Ye Wuchen turned around and pulled Ningxue away.
The content below the announcement is: "The first person will be summoned by the emperor, and will receive a spiritual weapon, five thousand taels of silver, and a residence in the north of the city, and will be given a high position depending on the specific ability. The other ten selected by the emperor will be rewarded with one thousand silver Two, join the royal bodyguard as you wish, and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life... "
Such conditions may not be considered generous, but for most people, what they want is fame, and once they become famous all over the world, the road of life will be smooth. And for some people, they may not care about fame, but about the attractive reward.
That person is the latter. Now he is a man forced by life, he needs money, so, he will participate in that competition.
"Well, young master, is it possible that you want to sign up?" Ye Qi asked anxiously. He was still really afraid that this little young master would not be able to think about it for a while and really go to sign up for the competition... The result must be to severely embarrass the Ye family. No one in the city knew how good-for-nothing the young master of the Ye family was. Although he is now normal, he still looks like a helpless scholar.
"My young master won't participate, just take a look." Ye Wuchen said.
