[Chapter 124] The heroine's first battle
[Chapter 124] The heroine's first battle
As soon as he saw the stone, Nangong Chenyu blurted out three words.
"Bloodstone."
His thoughts drifted to his past life.
In his previous life, his scumbag father had never even smiled at him. Every time he saw him, my father looked at him with indifference and disgust. It was as if the relationship between them was not that of father and son, but that of enemies.
After seeing other people's loving fathers and filial sons, he once doubted whether he was the son of his scumbag father.
When he was five years old, his father the Emperor was accidentally injured and his grandfather was not in the imperial city. The concubine that the scumbag father liked wanted to make trouble for him, so she suggested that he take care of her when she was sick.
He took the opportunity to secretly take a piece of gauze stained with his father's blood. When he returned to the East Palace, he used the blood stone he found in his grandfather's storehouse to test the blood relationship between the two.
The results show that he is indeed the biological son of the scumbag father.
Because of this, the little boy was sad and upset for a long time.
"Are you Yisheng's Taoist partner?"
Ye Mingpei's voice brought Nangong Chenyu back to his senses. When he looked up, he met Ye Mingpei's satisfied eyes.
"I am Nangong Chenyu, a junior, and nice to meet you, senior." Nangong Chenyu bowed as a junior.
"Okay, okay." Ye Mingpei's face was full of smiles, and he was obviously in a very good mood. He then looked at Ye Yisheng: "Based on your appearance alone, I can be sure that you are a member of our Ye family. But I still hope that you can agree to let me use the bloodline stone to test your bloodline."
"Can."
Ye Yishen immediately used his spiritual power to cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the blood stone. Although he was certain that he was a member of the Ye family, he was still a little nervous.
The blood stone that Ye Mingpei took out had been refined by a master weapon refiner. The blood stone contains the blood of the Ye family ancestor. Anyone who is a descendant of the Ye family ancestor can make the blood stone react.
The closer the blood relationship, the greater the reaction of the blood stone.
“Tick!”
Several people turned their eyes to the Bloodline Stone.
Ye Yisheng's blood stayed on the surface of the blood stone for two seconds before being absorbed by the blood stone. Immediately afterwards, a red dot appeared in the middle of the gray blood stone.
As time went on, the red dot began to expand in all directions.
Seeing that the red color was almost covering the entire blood stone, Ye Mingpei's eyes were filled with joy that almost overflowed. He raised his hand and patted Ye Yisheng on the shoulder, smiling and saying, "You are indeed my second brother's son!"
Ye Yisheng's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. After hesitating for a moment, he simply told the truth: "Senior, my father is a member of the Ye family, but he is not necessarily your second brother."
"No matter who your father is, you are a member of our Ye family." Ye Mingpei planned to bring Ye Yisheng back to the Ye family and then ask for details: "I heard from Rong'er that you want to participate in the Aristocratic Family Competition?"
"Yes." Ye Yisheng directly stated his purpose: "I want the Starry Sky Origin Fruit."
One of the rewards for the first place in the Aristocratic Family Competition is the Starry Sky Yuan Fruit.
The Starry Tianyuan Fruit grows by absorbing the power of the stars, and the star power in the fruit flesh is extremely rich. An ordinary cultivator would certainly not be able to absorb it directly, but Ye Yishen, who possesses the Moon Spirit Root, can do it.
Nangong Chenyu couldn't help but look at Ye Yishen a little more. In the storybook "The Time Traveler of the Peerless Female Fairy", the one who won first place in the end was the heroine Lu Yueyao. The Starry Sky Yuan Fruit naturally fell into her hands, and she used it to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Good boy, you have ambition." Ye Mingpei praised.
Ye Rong reminded: "Dad, it's time to go to the competition site."
"Why rush? It's still early." Although he said that, Ye Mingpei still put away the blood stone and called Ye Yisheng and Nangong Chenyu: "Let's go to the Qi family martial arts field first."
Ye Rong rolled her eyes at her father.
As soon as the door opened, she saw Lu Yanghua passing by.
As if sensing something, Lu Yanghua turned his head.
The two men looked at each other.
Ye Rong's eyes were full of disgust.
Lu Yanghua's eyes were fierce and his face was distorted. The next moment, when he saw Ye Mingpei behind Ye Rong, he was so scared that his face turned pale, and he ran away as if he had seen a ghost.
Looking at Lu Yanghua's leaving back, a cold light flashed in Ye Mingpei's eyes. If anyone dares to set his sights on his daughter, he will definitely teach that person a lesson.
The four of them walked out of the room one after another.
Just as Nangong Chenyu closed the door, the door of the next room was opened from the inside, and Yu Rou walked out.
When Yu Rou saw Ye Rong in the corridor, the resentment in her eyes almost overflowed.
Ye Mingpei immediately put his daughter behind him, and there was undisguised murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at Yu Rou. Ye Mingpei had only this one precious daughter in his life, and she was almost ruined by this vicious girl.
Yu Rou’s face turned pale, her eyes were filled with fear, and her body was shaking.
Ye Mingpei: “…” He hasn’t done anything yet!
With a heavy "snort", he turned to the three people and said, "Let's go."
Even if he wanted to kill someone, he couldn't do it in public.
The four of them walked out of the inn, and Ye Yishen was still wearing the mask. Entering the busy street, the four heard many people discussing the matter of the third son of the Lu family and the sixth daughter of the Yu family.
Ye Mingpei couldn't help but give his daughter a thumbs up: "Well done!"
When passing an alley, Nangong Chenyu suddenly said: "You go first, I'm going to buy some things, and I'll catch up with you later."
Ye Yisheng was the first to agree: "Okay."
As soon as the three people left, Nangong Chenyu walked into the alley.
At the innermost part of the alley is Lingyue Pavilion.
As he entered Lingyue Pavilion, Nangong Chenyu saw a female practitioner in the Foundation Establishment Stage settling accounts.
The female cultivator sensed someone coming in, her hands moving without stopping, and asked without raising her head, "What's the matter?"
"I would like to hire a Yuanying-stage cultivator for two months."
"What are you going to pay for it?"
"Spiritual stone."
"One million low-grade spirit stones."
Nangong Chenyu reached into his arms (actually in his space ring) and took out a Qiankun bag containing ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones.
The female cultivator first checked the spirit stones in her Qiankun bag to make sure there was enough. Then she took out the sound transmission jade slip and sent a message.
"Wait a moment, someone will be here soon."
In just two minutes, an old lady walked in from outside.
The old lady looked at Nangong Chenyu and asked, "You want to hire me?"
Nangong Chenyu nodded: "Yes."
The old lady said to the nun, "Bring me a copy of the contract."
After receiving the contract, the old lady asked Nangong Chenyu again: "What do you need me to do?"
"Go to the border between Lingyuan Continent and Fanchen Continent and guard it for two months. During these two months, no one can be allowed to go to Fanchen Continent." Nangong Chenyu took out a sound transmission jade slip: "If something unexpected happens, you can inform me through sound transmission."
The old lady wrote Nangong Chenyu’s requirements on the contract and signed it with her blood.
Nangong Chenyu also signed with blood.
The contract was formed, and Nangong Chenyu left Lingyue Pavilion.
Qi family martial arts training ground.
Compared to yesterday, there are a lot more people coming to watch the competition today. For this purpose, the admission fee was increased from five low-grade spirit stones to eight, and from two to four.
When Nangong Chenyu arrived, Ye Yishen was standing at the door waiting for him. Ye Mingpei gave Ye Yisheng two jade tokens of Ye family disciples, and the two did not need to pay spirit stones to enter.
The two of them deliberately did not sit in the Ye family's team, but sat behind the Ye family. Therefore, except Ye Rong, everyone else thought that the two were friends of someone in the Ye family.
Ye Xuan didn’t come to the scene yesterday, but he came today. However, his sister Ye Zixuan still did not show up.
The competition will begin soon.
Since there were many Qi Refining cultivators participating in the competition, some people did not participate. Therefore, the first few competitions today are all between cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.
Hearing the name "Lu Yueyao", Nangong Chenyu finally set his sights on the ring.
Today, Lu Yueyao wore a blue long skirt with delicate flowers and butterfly patterns embroidered on it, showing her feminine beauty and grace. She wore an exquisite hairpin on her head, and her outfit looked simple and elegant, yet beautiful and charming.
Anyone who sees her current appearance would not mistake her for the same person as the ordinary-looking female cultivator from yesterday.
Seeing Lu Yueyao walk onto the stage, everyone in the audience started talking.
"Is there no one left in the Lu family? How come even a useless person who can't draw Qi into his body is on the stage?"
"Maybe she didn't sign up herself."
"She seemed quite confident."
"Why do I feel like she is forcing the issue?"
"A useless person, isn't that a waste of our time?"
"The result of this competition can be announced directly."
"The useless people of the Lu family have no self-awareness at all, and they are not afraid of being beaten to death by someone."
"Although Lu Yueyao is useless, she is pretty. Qi Jinggeng will definitely show mercy to her because of her good looks."
Hearing the ridicule from the people around him, Ye Xuan's face looked very ugly. He felt that Lu Yueyao's presence on the stage was simply a disgrace to him.
Standing up, Ye Xuan shouted towards the ring: "Lu Yueyao, you should admit defeat quickly, otherwise you will be knocked off the ring."
Lu Yueyao turned around and saw Ye Xuan in the crowd, and she couldn't hide the disgust in her eyes. But in a flash, the disgust in her eyes turned into admiration.
Just because she saw Nangong Chenyu.
Ye Xuan thought that Lu Yueyao's crush was on him, so he straightened his back and stood up straighter.
Only those cultivators who had reached the Nascent Soul stage could see that Lu Yueyao had hidden her cultivation level. Hearing everyone calling Lu Yueyao a waste and belittling her in various ways, the Yuanying stage cultivators all showed indescribable expressions on their faces.
"The competition begins."
After the referee finished speaking, Qi Jinggen waved his folding fan elegantly and said confidently: "Sister Lu, you should admit defeat!"
Lu Yueyao didn't like a playboy like Qi Jinggeng. Considering that he was a member of the Qi family, she politely replied, "I have the skills, you can do it!"
Not noticing any spiritual energy fluctuations from Lu Yueyao, Qi Jinggeng said in a modest manner, "I'll give you three moves."
"Thank you, Master Qi, but it's not necessary."
Lu Yueyao wanted to show her strength and impress everyone, so she naturally would not agree with Qi Jinggeng's proposal.
"In that case, I won't be polite." Before he finished speaking, Qi Jinggeng lightly flipped the folding fan in his hand, and a weak but sharp airflow surged.
Everyone only saw a flash of blue light before their eyes, and Lu Yueyao's figure was as fast as the wind, instantly appearing in front of Qi Jinggeng. A strong blue light gathered in her palm, and the next moment, the blue light fell on Qi Jinggeng.
