Cao Yunhe sneered arrogantly and said, "Tutor
My family education is to respect the strong and ignore the weak. I'm really sorry, but I have now advanced to the Lingwu period. In my eyes, both of you are weaklings and not worthy of my attention.
Well, I just came to see what the champion of this year's Ye family competition looks like. I have no interest in having an in-depth exchange with you."
Cao Yunhe turned his head while speaking, looked at Ye Weiqing and said, "Qing'er, if you want to marry into my family in the future, I'll take you to get acquainted with my other brothers and sisters first. Do you think that's a good idea?"
Ye Weiqing looked at Cao Yunhe's handsome face with a shy look on her face, and said, "What...what do you mean I want to enter your house? We haven't even started yet, Brother Yunhe, don't talk nonsense."
Cao Yunhe couldn't help but laugh and said, "Qing'er, why are you shy? Our parents have just reached a consensus. It's only a matter of time before you marry me."
Ye Weiqing's face turned red with shame at Cao Yunhe's words. She gave him a pouty look, then turned and ran away.
Cao Yunhe looked at Ye Weiqing's back, smiled, and then chased after him.
Ye Li and Ye Canglong looked at each other after Cao Yunhe left. Ye Canglong said, "It seems that my Ye family and the Cao family have plans for marriage. Luo Yun and Luo Feng, two seniors of the Luo family, both broke through to the Descending God Stage a few days ago. The Luo family has surpassed us and the Cao family in absolute strength.
You also know that a master of the Descending God Stage is the strongest force of a seventh-grade family like ours. The already powerful Luo family has gained two more people, and the balance between the three major families is almost completely broken."
Ye Li nodded and said, "I've heard about this, too. Among the three major families, the Luo family has always been the strongest, consistently outshining us and the Cao family. Now they have two more masters, and they're about to overwhelm us."
Ye Canglong hummed and said, "Ye Li, we must hurry up and break through to the Spiritual Mist Stage. Even if the Ye and Cao families are married, how long can they remain close? There is no guarantee that there will not be a day when they will split. Only when we become strong can we be truly safe."
Afterwards, neither of them was in the mood to stay at the banquet any longer. After hurriedly finishing their meal, they left the Ye family compound together and went home to practice.
In the Luo family's meeting room, Luo Zhi was standing in front of a tall, sinister-looking old man.
This old man is none other than Luo Shijiang, the current head of the Luo family.
"Luo Zhi, how is the Ye family competition going this time? Is there anyone worth noting in their family?"
Luo Shijiang asked.
Luo Zhi nodded and said, "I found three noteworthy people this time. One is Ye Canglong, who has three talisman roots: gold, earth and wood. He can condense talismans and transform into other shapes. The other is Ye Tianyi, who has three talisman roots: wind, fire and wood. His skills are average, but the power of his three talisman roots combined is extremely great.
The last person, named Ye Li, seems to have only the Fire Element Talisman Root, but he is the one that deserves our attention the most. "
Luo Shijiang looked puzzled and said, "Oh
He only has the Fire Element Talisman Root, how can he be more worthy of our attention?"
Hearing Luo Shijiang's question, Luo Zhi said seriously: "This time, the head of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion, Senior Zhang Qiongsheng, also went to watch the Ye Family Competition in person. It seems that someone suggested that he pay attention to Ye Li.
Afterwards, Ye Li demonstrated talisman drawing skills that far surpassed his peers in the competition.
He is proficient in the use of the condensed talisman technique and the double-stacked talisman, and the talismans he draws have reached earth-level power. "
After hearing Luo Zhi's report, Luo Shijiang's face became more serious. A talisman master whose talisman drawing skills far surpassed his peers was definitely the most noteworthy.
"I have heard of the names of Ye Canglong and Ye Tianyi, but who is this Ye Li? I have never seen him in any intelligence."
Luo Shijiang arrived.
Luo Zhi replied, "I didn't know who he was at first. On the first day of the competition, I noticed that he performed outstandingly, so I made a special investigation. Only then did I know whose son he was."
"who!"
"The son of Ye Hao and the woman from Phoenix Villa."
Luo Zhi spoke word by word. He was of the same generation as Ye Hao and had once admired Ye Hao's brilliance. When he mentioned this name, his expression was a little unnatural.
Luo Shijiang frowned and said, "He is the son of Ye Hao and that woman, how can he only have the Fire Element Talisman Root? Isn't it said that the bloodline of Phoenix Villa, as long as the natal talisman is awakened, will definitely have both Yang and Fire Element Talisman Roots?"
Luo Zhi said: “I heard rumors that the day he awakened his natal talisman, there was a huge fanfare, but in the end a useless talisman appeared, without even any attributes.
Therefore, the Fire Element Talisman Root he has now was most likely obtained by taking elixirs.
But he is really strong in the skill of drawing talismans. I feel that he is even more powerful than Ye Hao back then."
After Luo Shijiang heard Luo Zhi's evaluation of Ye Li, his face became even gloomier.
After thinking for a while, he said, "We must never allow another evildoer to appear. Back then, Ye Hao completely disrupted the balance of our three great families.
Fortunately, God did not seem to help the Ye family. On the day Ye Hao gave up his cultivation, we and the Cao family all breathed a sigh of relief.
In two months, the Rune Land will be opened once every five years. I think we can do something during the Rune Land Trial to allow the family members to find opportunities to deal with him.
By the way, a few days ago, the family hunting team found a lot of strangers in the Monster Mountain Range. They didn’t seem to be here to hunt, so I don’t know what their intentions were.
Luo Zhi, you'd better take someone there to observe and see if there is anything unusual."
Hearing Luo Shijiang's order, Luo Zhi hurriedly agreed.
After resting for a night, Ye Li arrived at the mine mouth near his home at noon the next day.
Now this vein of minerals, including the outer Xingyan Iron Mine, has been isolated, and the Ye family has sent a large number of guards to stand guard in the surrounding area.
The miners involved in the excavation are also the most trusted group of people in the Ye family.
When he reached the outside of the mine, Ye Wujiu was already waiting for him there.
After having an in-depth conversation with Ye Wujiu the day before, the gap between him and his grandfather had been thinned a lot.
Ye Wujiu still had a stern and dignified face, but Ye Li could see the tenderness in his eyes.
He thought about it carefully and realized that in the past, Ye Wujiu's eyes had always been so gentle when he looked at him. It was just that he had some resentment towards him in his heart, so he never noticed these things.
"Grandpa, I'm here."
Ye Wujiu nodded and said, "Come on, go in with me."
After Ye Li followed Ye Wujiu into the mine, he found that the scene inside the mine was very different from what he had seen before.
There are a large number of talismans and formations set up in the mine, which seem to be used to protect the mine.
Ye Wujiu led him deeper into the cave, but after reaching a certain place, they suddenly turned into a fork in the road that had not been there before.
The fork in the road was also filled with talismans. The two went deeper and soon arrived in front of a huge stone door.
