In the family secret room, several elders gathered together.
Sitting in the middle is Ye Xianzu, the head of the Ye family. He is dressed in plain robes and has a square face and a beard with a majestic look.
There are two rows below. On the right are the First Elder with an eagle eyebrow and a long face, the Third Elder with stern eyebrows who led the team that day, and the Fourth Elder who is slightly stout and has a round face with curved eyebrows and a smile.
On the left are the second elder with gray temples and thin cheeks, and the fifth elder with dark complexion, thick eyebrows and a high nose, like a farmer.
"Several elders and others have already made arrangements. Do you have any ideas on how to arrange a good time?" The patriarch asked in a loud voice with a questioning look on his face, his eyes slowly sweeping over the faces of several people.
"Why does this matter need to be discussed? Of course we should arrange some family affairs for him and let him go out to exercise!" the third elder said directly.
"I can clearly see how hard Liangchen works every day. It's better than in previous years! I just don't know why I'm not making progress but retreating. How about observing it for another two years." It was Liangchen's master who spoke. The second elder.
"What should I observe? His magic power is low and his realm has regressed. Anyone in the clan is much stronger than him." The fourth elder said.
"I feel like we should give him a little more time. After all, he established the foundation at the age of fourteen, but he is a genius that has never been seen in our clan since the founding of the clan!" The dark-faced fifth elder listened to the fourth elder's words, and his face became darker. He couldn't help it. Support the second elder.
"At the early stage of Qi training at the age of seventeen, he can be regarded as one of the few idiots since the founding of our clan!" The third elder tit-for-tat with a mocking look on his face.
"What are you talking about?! It wasn't because you didn't take good care of him when you led the team in the trial that year that he would be injured by the monster?!" The fifth elder seemed to be irritated and asked angrily.
"Yo——! Is this still my fault? After chasing a seriously injured three-tailed white fox and returning injured, what is the use of such a foundation-building "genius"?" The third elder was also angry at the question.
"Okay, okay, don't argue! The matter is over, what's the use of arguing?" The patriarch loudly interrupted the fifth elder who was about to speak, then turned to look at the first elder,
"Great Elder, what do you think?"
"Liangchen, this child, was really amazing in the past few years. I also thought he was the hope for the family's future. But his performance in the past three years has disappointed everyone!
Privately, I want to give him some more time, but family resources are precious and are originally reserved for those clan members who are capable and promising. If an adult clan member who is in the early stage of Qi training is allowed to continue to enjoy it, I am afraid it will cause criticism.
In this way, other people with mediocre qualifications can request to stay in the clan and continue to enjoy the resources. People in the world are not worried about being widowed, but worried about injustice! "The great elder spoke eloquently, using facts as a basis and in the name of family justice, which is really irrefutable.
"Oh, what the great elder said is true. I have always liked this child Liangchen very much, and I have been thinking about whether to give him more time in the past few days. At this time, it seems that I have not considered it properly." The clan leader said regretfully. .
"If you decide to stay or leave when the time comes, let's all vote." The clan leader looked at the elders and said.
After saying that, with a wave of his hand, a small bronze scale appeared out of thin air in the center of the hall. The scale was not the one used by ordinary people with a plate at one end and a lump at the other. Instead, it had discs at both ends and a column in the middle.
As soon as the copper scale appeared, a crow-green small word "stay" appeared on one side of the disk, and the word "go" appeared on the other end of the disk.
Several elders each took out a shining golden bead about the size of a green bean from their arms. Several of them tossed the golden beads in their hands.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding--!" There were a few soft sounds, and the small scale swayed left and right.
The three golden beads on the plate with the word "Go" were slowly pressed down.
The two golden beads on the plate with the word "Liu" are still rolling, as if unwilling to give in!
The clan leader looked at the golden beads on the small scale, sighed and ordered.
"Alas~ This matter has been settled. First elder, you and the second elder will discuss and arrange the allocation of good time."
...
A few hours later, in a secret training room, several people were whispering.
"Have you sent someone to check?"
"I checked, and no one who went there came back."
"Where's the person selling the pictures?"
"Disappeared."
"Well, don't leave any clues. Although it is different from what we expected, fortunately, the cripples and the dead are about the same!"
...
Within a few days, news came that Ye Liangchen was assigned to Molong Village on the eastern border to be responsible for the family industry there.
"Liangchen, I heard that you have been arranged to go to the border of Eastern Xinjiang. I'm afraid it will be difficult to see you in such a far place in the future." A handsome man in crimson tights in Liangchen's room is his only friend Ye Kai .
"What's the difficulty? Wait a few years when I come back to report the accounts, and then we can meet." Liangchen said with a smile.
"How long will it take? Why don't I go find you when I'm free?" Ye Kai said.
"Don't bother me! I used to see you every day and it was annoying to death. Now I see you less and it becomes more peaceful. Besides, you performed so brilliantly in the family test this time. You must be a focus of the family's training. I'm afraid if I want to go out." It’s difficult!”
Maybe because he was leaving, Liangchen felt that the atmosphere should not be so sad, so he started joking instead.
"Well, with your talent, it's impossible to be like this. I always feel that something must have happened. If you don't want to tell me, I can't ask more questions..." Ye Kai suddenly paused and stared into Liangchen's eyes, as if Waiting for a reasonable explanation at this parting moment.
"Well, that monster was too powerful. After it hurt me, I fainted. God knows what happened, maybe there was some vicious curse." Liangchen felt his expectant gaze and answered with a wry smile.
"I have read your notes countless times, but there are only two words in it: "diligence." So in the past few years, when others say you are slacking off or God has withdrawn his blessings, I don't believe it at all!
Although I don't know what happened to you, I hope you will keep persisting and don't be discouraged! "Ye Kai didn't get the answer he wanted, and suddenly said with a straight face.
"Don't worry, brother. You have to work hard and condense the golden elixir as soon as possible. I will rely on you from now on." Liangchen patted Ye Kai's shoulder and said with a smile.
"What are you talking about? Even if you can't practice magic, you can still become a body-refining monk or learn formations. If that doesn't work, just go to weapon-refining. With your diligence, you might not be able to become a master.
Maybe I’ll ask you to give me a peerless sword then! Ha ha. "Ye Kai encouraged him with a smile.
"If I really become a master of weapon refining, your peerless sword will be wrapped in my body!" After talking to his brother, Liangchen's mood improved a lot.
"Haha, okay! There are thousands of roads in the world, and I believe you will definitely find your own way." Ye Kai looked at Liangchen and said casually with a smile.
After reading his training diary for so many years, he knew that Liangchen was a tough and persistent person, so in his opinion, Liangchen would never lag behind others in anything he did.
Liangchen glanced at Ye Kai and felt deeply that Ye Kai's confidence in him could be said to be blind!
Liangchen was moved for no reason.
"We all have to go our own way." Liangchen held Ye Kai's hand tightly.
"Take care! Don't come to see me off tomorrow." Liangchen said.
"That's precious!" Ye Kai turned and left.
