"I didn't expect that Zhengqi would appear here with the family leader. I guess Zhengqi may have benefited from the family leader this year." Mu Heng whispered to Wen Ce in the crowd.
In fact, they were quite surprised to see Bai Zhengqi appear here.
But they really regarded Bai Zhengqi as a brother. Although they were confused, they felt that this should be a good thing, at least the head of the family had not forgotten him.
And there may be more stories in it, but they don't know it yet.
What's more, now Bai Zhengqi has become the standard used by the family leader to select his direct disciples. This is definitely a kind of trust and recognition.
"That's natural. Brother Zhengqi must have changed a lot in this year. Otherwise, how could the head of the family find him on such a critical occasion?
You must know that not just anyone can become the standard used by the family head to select his direct disciples.
Obviously the head of the family still values Bai Zhengqi very much. It's not like what he showed in the previous competition. There is obviously something hidden here! "Wen Ce said.
"You are right, and before we came here, we heard that Brother Zhengqi came to Yunshou Peak to find the Patriarch. After that, he went into seclusion on his own, so we didn't get to see the result of him finding the Patriarch. Just came here first.
Now it seems that Zhengqi must have had a good result when he met the owner of the family! "Mu Heng said softly as he recalled what happened before he came here a year ago.
"It is indeed possible, so I think the head of the family was testing him on purpose. Otherwise, why would the head of the family give him such an important technique to practice?
Now it seems that our idea is indeed right, otherwise he would never appear here! Wen Ce nodded and said.
"If this is true, this is good news. At least Brother Zhengqi will not be so depressed anymore! Look at Brother Zhengqi's current state. It seems that his knot has been resolved this year. He seems quite carefree!" Mu Heng looked at Bai Zhengqi's confident face, which was not as depressed as he was a year ago. It can be seen that Bai Zhengqi's current condition is indeed very good.
"That guy is probably going to suffer a loss!" Wen Ce said looking at the man who just offered to compete with Bai Zhengqi.
"Let alone him, even if it's us, even if someone takes the lead for us, we probably won't be able to match Brother Zhengqi!" Mu Heng said helplessly.
Among the three of them, Bai Zhengqi has always been the strongest.
Although they have been practicing here for a year now, judging from the speed of practicing the technique, the gap between them and Bai Zhengqi is very obvious.
In the past, his strength was not as good as Bai Zhengqi's, but now that he was practicing so much faster than them, they clearly lost confidence.
"I know Brother Zhengqi's strength very well. Even if I practice here for a year, I will definitely not be his opponent.
So if I really had to compete with him, I would choose to give up! Wen Ce looked at Bai Zhengqi and said calmly.
"Don't you think it's a pity to give up like this? With our friendship with brother Zhengqi, he might let us go in the competition!
As long as we pass this level, maybe the third round of tests will be easy! "Mu Heng said.
"Do you think this is possible? Let's not say whether Brother Zhengqi would do it. Even if he really dared to do it, do you think the family leader wouldn't be able to tell it with his strength?
And this may not be of any benefit to Brother Zhengqi. He may want to help us, but if he does this, he will harm himself.
The head of the family will never allow this to happen. Even if we really win against Brother Zhengqi, what will he think of us in his heart?
Do you think he would let people like us become his direct disciples? "Wen Ce said.
"But it's really a pity to give up like this. We can also try our true strength with Brother Zhengqi. We have received guidance from the family leader, and our strength has improved a lot compared to last year. Maybe we can really beat him? "Mu Heng still can't let go.
After all, they had been waiting for this day for a year. During this year, he was also very serious and barely had a good rest.
The purpose was to become the direct disciple of the Patriarch, but he never expected that this time the Patriarch would find Bai Zhengqi when choosing his direct disciple.
Both he and Wen Ce have practiced the technique to the fourth level. Now that they have successfully passed the first level, they are one step closer to becoming the direct disciples of the family leader.
It's a pity that this time his opponent will be Bai Zhengqi. Although he feels very stressed, he still doesn't want to give up so easily.
Otherwise, all this year's efforts will be in vain.
"I just said that I plan to give up, and I didn't ask you to give up with me. Anyway, I know that I am no match for Brother Zhengqi, so I am willing to give up.
And I always feel that the relationship between him and the head of the family is not that simple. Do you think Brother Zhengqi really only obtained the same skills as us in this year? "Wen Ce said.
"You mean he got other things from the head of the family?" Mu Heng was stunned.
"At least I think he definitely didn't just get that set of exercises. If you think about it, the head of the family said when he handed this set of exercises to us, this is one of the most important exercises of our Cheng family. .
We are qualified to receive this set of exercises because we were personally selected by the head of the family.
But what about Brother Zhengqi? The head of the family eliminated him in front of the entire family. But who would have thought that just a few days after we obtained this set of exercises, the head of the family would also pass this exercise to Brother Zhengqi. What does this mean? Wen Ce asked.
"This shows that the head of the family treats him no worse than us, and even opened the back door specially for him!" Mu Heng said with a flash of light in his eyes.
"That's right, so didn't I just say that? The head of the family clearly wanted to test Brother Zhengqi on purpose when he was above Xiao Bi. In fact, the head of the family had already wanted to train him!" Wen Ce said.
"What other good things will the master of the family give him?" Mu Heng asked doubtfully.
"It's hard to say. I just think that the head of the family gave us guidance and confusion. Maybe Brother Zhengqi also received guidance and confusion from the head of the family, but we don't know it ourselves!" Wen Ce speculated.
"According to you, Brother Zhengqi actually got the same treatment as us this year, but he just wasn't with us?" Mu Heng said.
"I think even if this is not the case, it is probably close to the same. Otherwise, how could the family master regard Brother Zhengqi as the standard for us to become direct disciples? And the family master obviously knows the strength of brother Zhengqi better now. , otherwise how would he dare to use Brother Zhengqi as a standard?"
"What you said reminds me that if we defeat Brother Zhengqi, we may become the direct disciples of the family leader, right?" Mu Heng's mind flashed, and he seemed to think of many things at once.
"It's really only possible. The head of the family has already said before that there is a possibility that none of us will be selected!" Wen Ce said.
"If we all lose to Brother Zhengqi, doesn't that mean that no one will be selected?"
"But the head of the family also said that there will be a third round of tests, so even if we defeat Brother Zhengqi, we may not be able to pass the third round!" Wen Ce thought for a while and said.
"That's indeed what you said, but I think the head of the family may already have the best candidate for his direct disciple in mind!" Mu Heng nodded and said.
"Are you talking about Brother Zhengqi?" Wen Ce is a smart man. When Mu Heng said this, he quickly thought of Bai Zhengqi.
"Yes, as you just said, this year we thought we had received the best care from the head of the family. But we didn't know. In fact, Bai Zhengqi might have received the same treatment as us, but we didn't know it.
Why would the owner do this? It was obvious that he valued Brother Zhengqi very much. So this time it seems like it’s a selection for us, but it’s actually a selection for Brother Zhengqi.
If we defeat Brother Zhengqi, he may be eliminated. But if we all lose to him, doesn’t that prove that all of us are inferior to him?
In this case, the head of the family is afraid that he will be chosen as his direct disciple, and we will all be eliminated! " Mu Heng explained.
"Well, your guess is very bold, but it is indeed very possible. However, the head of the family did not say that he would only choose one person as his direct disciple.
If we beat Brother Zhengqi, we have a chance, but if we lose, Brother Zhengqi may not be eliminated. After all, he can become the selection standard, and maybe he has already passed the assessment given to him by the family head! "Wen Ce said.
"So Brother Zhengqi has been chosen as the direct disciple by the head of the family?" Mu Heng's heart tightened. He didn't expect so much.
After all, he felt that becoming the direct disciple of the Patriarch was not an easy task, and the Patriarch would not make the decision easily.
But Bai Zhengqi became the standard for their selection, which is a very strange thing in itself.
It would be possible to say that he had passed the family head's assessment one step ahead of schedule.
"You think, if Brother Zhengqi can be our selection standard, doesn't that mean that he is the threshold for becoming the direct disciple of the Patriarch? So if we want to become the direct disciple of the Patriarch, we must at least meet the standards of Brother Zhengqi. .”
"What you said makes sense. If that's true, then Brother Zhengqi will really have a meteoric rise now!" After repeated deliberation between the two of them, he now felt that Wen Ce's statement was becoming more and more likely.
When I thought that Bai Zhengqi might have become the direct disciple of the family leader, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Although their chances of becoming the direct disciples of the Patriarch are relatively small, it would be a very good thing if their good brothers could become the direct disciples of the Patriarch, and they might be able to help them in the future.
"We are just guessing now. We won't know the truth until the selection is over!" Wen Ce said.
