"This year's invitation letter?" Ye Jianxing was very happy: "Come here, bring it to grandpa!"
Ye Yunxi turned back and handed the invitation letter to Ye Jianxing.
Ye Jianxing took it, turned it on and looked at the light, as if he was making sure of something. After reading it, he turned around happily, opened the door of the bookcase, and carefully took out a box, which was full of invitations. It was before.
Ye Jianxing put today's letter into it, then nodded in satisfaction, and then carefully closed the lid.
"Why did grandfather save this?"
Ye Jianxing turned his head, saw his granddaughter standing at the door, and said with a smile, "I don't know, but the ancestors have always existed. You see, this is the invitation letter from the first year of Sword of the Empire more than a hundred years ago, and then We have them every year, although there may be a period of interruption in the middle, but there will be follow-ups, these things have witnessed the rise and fall of our Ye family!"
Hearing this, Ye Yunxi didn't say anything more, but Ye Jianxing murmured: "Grandpa is really happy. In fact, grandfather is already content with the 39th position. It doesn't matter if he doesn't make it into the top ten. 39 This place is already the highest place in my grandfather's heart!"
Ye Yunxi calmly said: "Grandfather, if you sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. You can never keep your position, you can only advance!"
Can't go back! !
How could Ye Jianxing not know this truth? He waved his hand and signaled Yunxi to close the door and come in. Ye Yunxi did as he said, closed the door tightly, and sat beside Ye Jianxing.
The old man looked deeply at his granddaughter, and said, "Since you don't advance, you will retreat, so grandfather will tell you something in advance."
The old man paused, and said: "You should remember that I gave you a pill back then, and it is said that it can make people become immortals."
"Remember."
The old man nodded: "The elixir was made by your grandma. She is a strange person and can make many elixirs that the world can't make, which can improve physical strength and cultivation. When she was here, the Ye family ranked By leaps and bounds, 11th at best."
Ye Yunxi listened with bated breath.
"At that time, because of her outstanding ability, she followed the top ten families and went to the sacrificial place.
Your grandma said that the walls of the sacrificial place are engraved with divine beasts from ancient times. There are ten of them in total, and each one corresponds to a family. However, only the walls of the first and second families are empty, and there is nothing there. .
It's just that when you said these words, your grandma seemed to know what was on the empty wall. From that year on, your grandma no longer developed the family business, and the ranking of the Ye family also changed from eleventh to 11th. After dropping to 39, they will remain in the middle class all the year round. "
Ye Yunxi raised an eyebrow.
A place of worship
empty walls?
Why did the grandma no longer move forward after knowing everything, but chose to retreat instead?
A series of questions circled in his mind, making Ye Yunxi very puzzled.
Ye Jianxing said: "Grandpa doesn't know what's on the wall. There are some secrets that can only be known when the level is high enough. Grandpa only knows so much. Every generation of the top ten families of Sword of the Empire sacrifices to the totem. They also have to go to sacrifice. According to legend, it is the totem who chooses the family and gives them supreme power, not the family chooses the totem.
So, Yunxi, you should be mentally prepared. It's not because of your incapacity that you can't make it into the top ten, it's because those totems are blind! "
It was quite serious at first, but the grandfather's last sentence successfully made Ye Yunxi laugh, and she couldn't help but said: "Well, what grandfather said is right!"
The old man was also amused, and couldn't help but keep laughing.
"You are a child who can make grandpa happy!"
