Chapter 13: A Surprise for You
Everyone's gaze followed the direction from which the sound came—
The girl was dressed in a dark battle robe, her smooth black hair tied into a long braid with a hairband. She walked slowly towards the arena with steady steps, her pretty face showing no trace of the timidity or fear of the past, and her pair of dark eyes were clear and bright.
Ye Rui gazed at his beloved granddaughter's face for a long time.
He was only in seclusion for a period of time, so why does Xiao Fei'er seem different from usual after she came out?
Ye Jingyao stared at Ye Fei expressionlessly, his hands clenched into fists beneath his sleeves.
Even if her broken spiritual root is healed, it still cannot change the fact that she cannot gather spiritual energy.
Today is the family trial day, and she, a useless person who can't even cultivate, dares to show up here? Does she think she's not shameful enough already?
Ye Jingyao wished he could slap his good-for-nothing daughter to death, but because Ye Rui, who doted on Ye Fei, was by his side, he wouldn't dare to do it in front of her even if he had ten times the courage.
When the other younger members of the Ye family saw that it was Ye Fei who had arrived, they all pouted.
What's the point of having a useless person who can't cultivate participate in the family trial?
Has Ye Fei lost her mind and is looking for trouble?
Although Ye Rui was happy to see Ye Fei, he also felt sorry for her: "Little Fei'er, are you... going to participate in the family trial?"
Ye Fei smiled and said, "Of course, I have no interest in being a spectator."
As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar of laughter erupted from all around.
"Listen to this! Our Ye Clan's good-for-nothing Third Miss is coming to participate in the clan trial!" Ye Minghui, the eldest young master of the Ye Clan, said sarcastically, his otherwise handsome face full of contempt: "I say, Ye Fei, have you really forgotten your own worth? This is the Ye Clan's grandest event, not child's play! You should go back to your Liuyun Pavilion and obediently return to being a good-for-nothing!"
Hearing his words, Ye Fei was not annoyed: "If you can beat me in the ring, I'll leave immediately."
"But if you lose, you'll have to demonstrate to me yourself what it means to get lost."
The girl half-closed her eyes, lazily drawing out the last syllable, quite arrogant.
Ye Minghui froze for a moment, then reacted and angrily rebuked, "You arrogant piece of trash! Do you know what my cultivation level is now? I could easily defeat ten of you!"
Ye Fei ignored him and turned to Ye Rui: "Old man, you can announce the start of the trial."
"You, you brat..." Ye Rui's face darkened. How dare she call him that? She has no respect for her elders!
His gaze fell on Ye Fei's face, and the old man sighed inwardly, a trace of sadness flowing through his weathered eyes: "Grandpa actually knows about your condition... Little Fei'er, you should go back first, Grandpa will definitely find a way to cure you."
Ye Fei smiled and looked at Ye Rui: "I came here today to give you a surprise, don't worry."
surprise?
Ye Rui found it hard to believe. Could it be that Xiao Fei'er could cultivate?!
"Patriarch, the trial should begin soon. Don't let the younger generation take too long," Elder Ye Ting whispered a reminder.
Ye Rui couldn't persuade Ye Fei either, so he could only cough lightly and straighten his face, saying, "The annual family trial officially begins!"
According to the original owner's memories, this family trial is divided into three stages.
The first stage is a team competition, with four people forming a team. The teams are drawn into a four-on-four battle, and the team with the most remaining members wins. The winners will then advance to the second stage of the competition.
The second stage is a two-person duel, with rules basically the same as the first stage.
The third stage is a one-on-one sparring match. There are no teammate bonuses; it depends solely on individual skill. Winners compete in turn, and only one person can stand out in the end. In the end, they will not only receive a reward from their family but also gain admission to Lingfeng Academy.
For every cultivator, entering an advanced spiritual master academy is the highest honor.
