Ye Feng was about to leave when he found someone behind him calling him. He quickly stopped and said his name with a puzzled look on his face without concealing it.
"It's like this. I have a beast scroll here for you. Someone asked me to bring this to you."
"I've been looking for you for many days, but you haven't been in the academy these days."
The young man took out the beast scroll and handed it into Ye Feng's hands.
"Who gave this to you?"
Ye Feng did not open it, but asked first.
"It seems to be a young man named Ye Qiu. I happened to leave the academy a few days ago and met a young man who gave me three spirit stones and asked me to hand over the beast scroll to you. I saw that it was just a simple effort and I agreed. ”
Upon hearing the word "Ye Qiu", Ye Feng immediately opened the animal scroll. The animal scroll was made of animal skin, and some simple words could be written on it. It was generally used for records.
"Thank you, senior brother!"
Ye Feng took out ten spiritual stones and handed them to the young man, and then hurried towards the small courtyard. Because something important had happened to the family, he had to rush back.
Back in the yard, Ye Feng quickly picked up a few pieces of clothing, quickly picked up the baggage, and ran towards the outside of Tianling Academy.
Thinking of what was recorded in the beast scroll, Ye Feng became anxious. The family sacrifice was held in advance. This time, the second uncle joined forces with the third uncle and the family elders. When the sacrifice was to be held again, the family leader was impeached and Ye Feng's father was forced to abdicate. The reason was that the family leader's heirs did not practice cultivation. Ability, humiliating the family.
Ye Qiu is Ye Feng's best friend since childhood. They grew up together and risked their lives to bring news to Ye Feng. However, several days have passed and the sacrifice should be tomorrow, so Ye Feng must rush back before tomorrow.
There is a distance of several hundred miles between Tianling Academy and Huangcheng. It will take two days to go all out. Ye Feng can't wait any longer. He uses Shadow Step to the extreme. Along the way, there is only an afterimage, and the shadow of the tree quickly retreats.
The Ye family is not harmonious because Ye Feng's father is not a member of the Ye family. Eighteen years ago, Ye Feng's father suddenly appeared in Huangcheng and was seriously injured. He was saved by Ye Feng's mother. The relationship between the two warmed up, and they changed their surnames when they married and stayed. Ye family.
As for being able to become the head of the family, Ye Feng's father relied on his strong strength and the support of Ye Feng's mother to ascend to the position of head of the family. However, this caused strong dissatisfaction among many people in the family, who believed that he was an outsider and secretly made things difficult for him.
As for his father's origin, Ye Feng has no idea. Ye Feng also asked him back then, and his father gave him a very vague answer. It seemed that his father didn't want to mention it. Seeing his father's embarrassed look, Ye Feng didn't continue to ask. However, in order to collect a large number of elixirs over the years, , helping Ye Feng practice, his hair is getting grayer day by day.
After traveling all night, Ye Feng finally saw the shadow of Huang Cheng at dawn the next day. His legs were already sore and numb, so he gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
Huangcheng is not very big, it can only be considered a small city in Kaiyuan Country, with a population of about one million. The Ye family has been rooted in Huangcheng for hundreds of years. In this generation, the position of the head of the family has been passed to an outsider. Although The family has prospered a lot under the leadership of Ye Feng's father, but there are still many disharmonious voices within the family.
The Ye family occupies one-third of Huangcheng's area, about a thousand hectares in size, and has thousands of large and small courtyards. The direct disciples live in the interior, and the branch disciples live in the periphery. At this time, the Ye family is noisy with gongs and drums, and It is a sacrificial event held every four years, and it is also the time to choose the position of the head of the family.
Every four years, the Ye family will hold an election for the position of head of the family. This time, it is unknown whether Ye Feng's father Ye Wu can continue to be the head of the family. It can only be done with the consent of the seventh elder.
Zen incense was lit on the huge high platform, and many small platforms were built around the high platform, all prepared for the family elders, while the family disciples stood around to receive baptism.
Sacrifice is a very sacred ceremony. It commemorates the ancestors who have died. Under their gaze, they see the prosperity of the family, and they are also inspired by heaven. The day for the Ye family to elect the head of the family is reincarnated every four years. Isn't it coming again? Has it been four years
The surrounding disciples have already gathered, and there are several elders from the Ye family sitting on the small stage. Only the head of the family has not arrived yet.
After about a stick of incense, the head of the Ye family, Ye Wu, led his wife to walk slowly, walked to the bottom of the high platform, bowed, and then sat down in the position of the head of the family.
After half an hour, the sacrificial activity was over. Next was the time to elect the head of the family. Under the gaze of thousands of disciples, the tense moment was about to come, because this time was different. Unlike previous years, the main problem was still Ye Feng cannot practice, which brings shame to the family. Ye Wu's position as head of the family must be vacated. As for who will take over, this is the key.
"The election of the head of the family begins now!"
The master of ceremonies shouted, and everything was quiet. After all, it happens every four years.
"To all the elders, I have a few words to say."
At this time, a tall man of about forty stood up. It was Ye Feng's second uncle, Ye Wen. He has been relatively prosperous in recent years. He gave birth to two sons, one of whom has entered the Daluo Inner Court and became an inner court official. Disciple, there is also a son, who is now an elite disciple of Daluo outer courtyard, and this Ye Wen targeted Ye Feng's father everywhere and made things difficult again and again. It seems that nothing good will happen this time.
"Please say!"
The great elder signaled Ye Wen to continue.
"Elders, our Ye family pays attention to inheritance. Only by passing on the inheritance from generation to generation can the Ye family continue to grow. However, in this generation, there is a waste in our Ye family who cannot cultivate, and he is also the son of the family leader. This matter has become a problem in Huangcheng. It’s a joke, so I suggest that Ye Wu is not suitable to be the head of the family.”
Ye Wenwen's words were heart-breaking. Although his tone was gentle, his meaning was very clear. He believed that Ye Wu was not suitable to continue to be the head of the Ye family.
"Fart, my father is not suitable to be the head of the family, and it is not your turn to be the head of the family!"
A figure seemed to fall from the sky and appeared in the middle of the sacrificial venue.
Ye Feng finally rushed back before the sacrifice was over, and happened to see this scene. Although he was Ye Feng's second uncle, he had no emotions. Ye Feng even remembered that this second uncle allowed his two sons to bully him countless times, and every time Ye Feng could still remember being beaten all over his body every time.
The sudden voice made everyone's eyes focus on Ye Feng, especially Ye Feng's mother. When she saw her child suddenly coming back, she rushed in front of Ye Feng with a quick step.
"Feng'er, why are you back?"
Seeing Ye Feng suddenly appear in the family, Ye Feng's mother's voice was a little choked. Ye Feng has not been back for almost three years.
"I learned that someone was going to target my father during the sacrifice, so I rushed back. Fortunately, I was still in time."
Ye Feng looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the sacrifice was not over yet. (To be continued)
