Ye Canglong's words made Ye Li feel warm. His cousin had always been very generous. He even dared to give up the first place in the clan competition to him, and he would give up the reward without hesitation.
However, he had no intention of asking the other party for help, he smiled and said: "Brother Canglong, we haven't seen each other for a long time since you joined the hunting team, how can you be sure that I can't get the first place.
I can tell you that I will not be lenient in this competition. I will definitely come in first and take back my father's land for myself.
If I meet you at that time, you must not let me go, otherwise I will never forgive you."
Ye Canglong looked at Ye Li's serious expression and could only nod. He knew that his cousin had always been stubborn and determined, otherwise he would not have been able to break through to the eighth stage of the Spirit Gathering Period through hard practice without the Sea of Consciousness.
Ye Tianyi stood in the distance, watching Ye Li and Ye Canglong talking and laughing, and snorted with disdain.
The venue was almost full of people at this time, and Ye Wujiu also walked in from outside the venue, still with a dignified look on his face.
After entering the venue, he first came to the VIP seats at the side, where three people were already sitting.
These three people were from the other two major families in Dahuang City, representatives of the Luo family and the Cao family, Luo Zhi and Cao Guanzhong, as well as Zhang Qiongsheng, the head of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion.
When the three of them saw Ye Wujiu coming, they all stood up.
"Wujiu thanks the three of you for coming to my Ye family to watch the game, especially Brother Zhang. As the Pavilion Master, you took time out of your busy schedule to come here in person. I am really flattered."
After Ye Wujiu clasped his fists and bowed to the three people, he began to speak.
The three of them also clasped their fists in return. Those coming from the Luo and Cao families were all Ye Wujiu's younger generations, and their attendance was considered a courtesy invitation. However, Ye Wujiu was really shocked that Zhang Qiongsheng would come to Guan in person to watch the battle.
After all, Zhang Qiongsheng's status is higher than that of the head of the Ye family. It is really strange that he would come to watch the fight of the younger generation of the Ye family.
Zhang Qiongsheng reached out and touched his gray goatee, smiled, and said, "Brother Wujiu, you are too polite. We have lived in the same city for many years and can be considered old neighbors. It is my duty to learn about the situation of my old neighbor's family.
Recently, a deputy leader was sent to my treasure hunting pavilion. He has a lot of things to take care of, so I, an old man, have some free time, which is rare.
She also suggested that I come and watch this competition a few days ago, saying that there might be some surprises, so I didn’t send my men over, but came to watch it myself.”
Ye Wujiu thought the other party was talking about Ye Tianyi, and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the reputation of his own son would reach Zhang Qiongsheng's ears.
"I didn't expect that after Tianyi awakened, the news would reach Brother Zhang's ears. I was really surprised."
Ye Wujiu spoke with a smile on his face.
Hearing Ye Wujiu's words, Zhang Qiongsheng was stunned and asked in confusion: "Tianyi, who is it
I heard the deputy pavilion master tell me to pay attention to a young man named Ye Li. Did I hear it wrongly?"
Zhang Qiongsheng's words made Ye Wujiu a little confused. Why was he paying attention to Ye Li? Ye Li was just an untalented young man who had awakened a useless talisman. Could it be that the other party had mistaken Ye Li for his natal talisman because of his fake appearance
But now is not the time to ask in detail, Ye Wujiu suppressed his doubts and said: "No matter what, it is an honor for our Ye family that Brother Zhang can come to our Ye family in person. We will definitely present you with a wonderful game."
After greeting the three important guests, Ye Wujiu stood on the stage in the center of the venue. At this time, the noisy crowd around him gradually quieted down.
“First of all, thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to my Ye family to watch the clan competition. After the competition, please stay and have a drink. Let our Ye family fulfill its hospitality.
Well, I won’t say any more nonsense, I’ll just emphasize the rules. According to convention, this competition is limited to the Ye family members below the Lingwu stage.
There are four arenas here, and the top four will be selected to participate in the final competition.
The use of any elixirs and props is prohibited during the competition, and killing is also prohibited. Violators will be punished according to family rules.
Okay, now you guys draw lots."
When he said this, someone had already brought out the bamboo box that had been prepared long ago, and asked the Ye family members who were participating in the competition to draw lots one by one.
Ye Li reached into the bamboo box and pulled out a bamboo card. On it was the number "six" written in red paint. It seemed that he had drawn number six.
After seeing that everyone had drawn their lots, Ye Wujiu spoke again, "Okay, you have all drawn your lots. There are four stages here, numbered one, two, three, and four.
The lots you drew, one, two, three, and four, naturally correspond to these four arenas, and starting from number five, they will be repeated again to arena number one, and so on.
Now you all find your own arena, the competition will begin soon."
Then Ye Wujiu got off the stage and sat next to the VIP seats, right next to Zhang Qiongsheng.
Ye Li drew number 6, so he naturally competed on the second stage. When he just arrived at the second stage, he found an annoying guy there, who was Ye Wenxing, who had fought with him in front of the Ye family compound some time ago.
Ye Wenxing also saw Ye Li, and an excited look appeared on his face. He laughed and said, "Hahaha, Ye Li, you were assigned to this arena, that's great.
Do you remember what I said last time? I said I would beat you until you kneel down and beg for mercy. I didn’t expect that I would actually have this opportunity.
You have to perform well and try to hold on until you can fight me!"
The people on the No. 2 ring also saw Ye Li, and there were looks of excitement and anticipation on their faces, as if they were all looking forward to meeting him, as if that would be the same as giving away a round for free.
Ye Li looked at Ye Wenxing coldly and said, "I advise you to be mentally prepared. Don't be beaten to your knees and beg for mercy before you have thought of what to say."
Ye Wenxing was about to open his mouth to refute, but the referee of the second ring had already shouted to them: "Ring number two, get ready. Those who draw numbers two and six, come on stage first."
Ye Li looked at the number six bamboo sign in his hand, walked out slowly from behind the crowd, and jumped onto the stage.
The moment he stepped onto the stage, a cheer of surprise suddenly rang out, and a young boy who looked a little younger than Ye Li rushed onto the stage from the audience with excitement on his face.
"It's Ye Li, my opponent is Ye Li, great!"
The boy's eyes turned into crescent shapes when he smiled, as if it was such a lucky thing for him to meet Ye Li.
His shout was so loud that it could be heard by several other arenas. Almost all the contestants focused their attention on arena number two, and many of them showed envy in their eyes.
Zhang Qiongsheng, who was sitting in the VIP seat, also heard the cheers of the crowd. He also noticed Ye Li, but what he didn't understand was why all the Ye family members had such expressions.
