The fat on Yan Kun's face swayed, and his lustful eyes looked at Yan Yue behind Yan Mu, revealing a hint of passion.
Yan Mu's face turned pale, and he forced a smile on his face and said, "Elder Kun, you are joking."
Yan Kun glanced at Yan Mu and sneered, "Yan Mu, does this elder look like I'm joking?"
Yan Mu suppressed his anger and said with a smile, "Elder Kun, you are the elder of the Yan family, of noble status. How can Yue'er be worthy of you? Please stop teasing me."
Even though he wanted to tear Yan Kun into pieces, Yan Mu could only smile. Although Yan Kun was not good-looking, his status as an elder aside, his level 5 spiritual master alone was not something he could afford to offend. He might even bring disaster to his entire clan.
"Yan Mu, what do you mean by this? Don't you really understand what I'm saying?"
Yan Kun's expression was a little ugly, but then he smiled and said, "Well, since you don't want to, then just pretend that this elder didn't say anything. Just remember, it's not that this elder didn't give you a chance!"
"Remember to be there on time tomorrow!"
Yan Kun flicked his sleeves and left the Yan family.
Watching Yan Kun leave, Yan Mu's tense body finally relaxed.
"Father, what did Elder Yan Kun say to you just now?" Yan Yue came up and asked hurriedly.
Yan Mu waved his hands, his expression becoming increasingly grim. He took a deep breath and said, "Yue'er, have you ever had a deep understanding of that young man?"
"ah?"
Yan Yue didn't understand why her father mentioned Gu Yuan again.
"If you think that boy is a decent person, then as a father I will not stop you from making your choice."
At this moment, Yan Mu felt a little flustered. Yan Kun was a vicious and cunning person. If he rejected Yan Kun's idea this time, then no matter whether anyone from his lineage could make it into the top five, Yan Kun would never speak for his lineage again.
At that time, without the protection of their master, they were truly like cattle and sheep at the mercy of others.
Therefore, Yan Mu hopes that Yan Yue can find a home, or at least not be ruined by Yan Kun!
Yan Yue blushed slightly, lowered her head slightly, and said a little embarrassedly: "They don't really need me yet."
Looking at Yan Yue's appearance, Yan Mu became more and more curious about what kind of person that boy was.
"Yue'er, the competition will start tomorrow. When will that boy arrive?" Yan Mu asked.
"Um...my daughter doesn't know either. But if he said he would come, then he will definitely come."
Yan Mu felt somewhat helpless. His daughter really had a mysterious confidence in him.
"Huh! He comes just as he says he will? Yan Xing from the main lineage is a ninth-level spiritual disciple. How can he, a mere seventh-level spiritual disciple, defeat him?"
A cold snort was heard, and Yan Yue looked at Yan Lei behind him.
"Brother Lei, what do you mean?"
Yan Yue frowned and asked.
"What do you mean? That guy is stronger than me, but he is not a member of our family after all. You actually pin your hopes on an outsider?" Yan Lei sneered.
Ever since the last conversation between Yan Yue and Gu Yuan, Yan Lei seemed like a different person. Whenever Gu Yuan was mentioned, he would come out to say a few words.
Yan Yue naturally knew why, but she didn't want to explain at all, or she didn't care at all.
"Then what do you think we should do? Just let the main branch bully us, seize our resources, and now they want to expel us from the Yan family?"
Yan Lei was speechless for a moment. He only had the strength of a sixth-level spiritual disciple and really didn't know what to do.
"alright!"
Yan Mu shouted softly, interrupting the two of them.
"The tournament is about to begin tomorrow. What's the point of still talking about these useless things?"
Yan Mu sat down, then looked at the younger generations below and said, "You have heard what Elder Yan Kun said just now. Our lineage has reached a moment of life and death!"
The people below were startled and looked at Yan Mu.
Yan Mu's expression gradually grew serious, and he continued, "This martial arts tournament concerns the fate of our lineage. To be frank, I know your strength very well. We can't rely on you."
The people below all lowered their heads with red faces. Although their low cultivation was due to poor talent and lack of resources, the other point was that they had no ambition at all.
"This time we need to send five people into battle: Yan Lei, Yan Yue, Yan Qi, Yan Yun, and Yan Hai. Yan Lei is a level six spiritual disciple, while the rest are only level four or five. Even so, you have to go."
Yan Mu felt somewhat powerless, as the competition stipulated that five persons must be present. In the past, there was a seventh-level spiritual disciple from his family who was barely considered a match, but unfortunately, he was slapped to death on the competition stage.
"Yue'er is the weakest, so that young man will take her place this time. Do you have any objections?"
It wasn't because Yan Yue was his daughter that Yan Mu didn't let Yan Yue go on stage, but because he didn't want the other branches to look down on him, so he even sent out a fourth-level spiritual disciple, although a fifth-level spiritual disciple wasn't much better either.
The younger generations below all looked at Yan Lei, and it was obvious that Yan Lei was the leader.
Although Yan Lei was very disgusted with Gu Yuan, he still nodded and said, "Of course."
Seeing that Yan Lei had no objection, the others nodded as well.
"Then it's settled. I will personally lead the team to the arena tomorrow!"
Several people looked at each other in surprise. The head of the family was actually going to lead the team himself this time?
"Alright, everyone, go down and have a good rest so you can prepare for the battle tomorrow. Yue'er, come with me to the study."
