Under the explanation of the head of the family, everyone accepted these two facts. Although some people still felt uncomfortable, what could they do?
"This year's training is completely over. You should prepare for the family competition. I am looking forward to the moment when you will shine in the competition!" Cheng Yu said to everyone. said.
"You will definitely not disappoint the head of the family!" everyone replied.
Although they failed this time, the head of the family has given them the answer after all. As long as they perform well, they will still have a chance in the future.
Especially now it happens to be the big competition. Maybe it won't be long before they can get another chance for themselves, so everyone is still looking forward to it.
Moreover, after this year of training, their strength has improved greatly. It must not be difficult to stand out in the competition.
"In that case, let's go back and make preparations!" Cheng Yu said.
"Yes!" Everyone then began to exit the back hill in an orderly manner.
"Master, I'm going back first!" Bai Zhengqi stepped forward and said to Cheng Yu.
"Go back and prepare for the competition!" Cheng Yu nodded and said.
"This disciple will never embarrass the master in this competition!" Bai Zhengqi said seriously.
He is more confident now than before.
Because he knew very well how terrifying the set of exercises his master gave him was. Just because he practiced this set of exercises, his strength suddenly increased so much, and he was practicing much faster now than before. .
He believed that if his other two souls could transform into souls, allowing him to truly have three souls, his strength and cultivation speed would be tripled. That would be unbelievable.
Although he was seriously injured in yesterday's battle with Ye Wen, it was indeed his carelessness. If he didn't take the blow forcefully, he would never have been so seriously injured if he wanted to defeat Ye Wen.
Therefore, if he changes his fighting style, even if he defeats Ye Wen, he will still have some strength left.
There is still some time before the competition, so he seizes this time to practice hard. His strength will improve even more. At that time, he will naturally be more confident after the competition.
Therefore, he is very much looking forward to this competition.
"Yeah." Cheng Yu nodded.
Bai Zhengqi now has the blessing of the Three Pill Divine Illusion Techniques and the Holy Emperor's Heart Technique. Although both sets of techniques have not yet reached a very high level, they have already begun to show results.
However, there is still some time before the big competition. For Bai Zhengqi now, this period of time is enough for Bai Zhengqi to make huge changes again.
Just like him back then, because of the Nine Pill Divine Illusion Art, he has changed even more than Bai Zhengqi does now.
Otherwise, he would have died countless times at Kunlun's hands at that time.
Looking at the backs of more than 50,000 people leaving one after another, countless scenes flashed through my mind. Now that I recall everything at that time, I feel really emotional.
"Brother Zhengqi, you are so mean. The head of the family has already planned to accept you as his direct disciple, but you still told us not to. Do you not regard us as friends anymore?" On the way back to the back mountain. , Wen Ce said with a dissatisfied expression next to Bai Zhengqi.
"You really can't blame me for this. Master said that I would never be allowed to reveal anything before he announced it. How could I dare to disobey it?" Bai Zhengqi said helplessly.
Although he really didn't want to deceive his two good friends, there was really nothing he could do about it.
"You tell us, we won't tell anyone!" Wen Ce said.
"Of course I know you won't tell anyone, but how can I break what I promised Master? Just like what I promised you, I have never disclosed it to others. Do you want me to become a treacherous person? "?" Bai Zhengqi said seriously.
"Yes, you can't blame Brother Zhengqi. Perhaps it is Brother Zhengqi's persistence that makes him so favored by the head of the family." Mu Heng said.
"The first direct disciple of the Patriarch, tsk tsk, when you call this name, it is so majestic. I am so envious of you!" Mu Heng continued with envy.
During the second round of assessment, Wen Ce said he wanted to give up, but he originally wanted to try his luck again.
But I didn't expect that he would be kicked out before he could come on the court. This made him disappointed and felt that he had missed the best opportunity.
However, they also knew that they would not easily become the direct disciples of the family leader. At that time, he did not care so much about this matter.
Now that I saw the head of the family personally announcing that Bai Zhengqi had become his first direct disciple, I couldn't help but feel envious.
He felt that if he had not missed the second round of assessment, he might also have a chance to become the direct disciple of the family leader.
"So I say it's a pity that you missed the second round of the assessment, otherwise at least you still have a chance!" Bai Zhengqi also felt sorry for the two of them.
It's just that he didn't know why the two of them didn't play at that time. Maybe they wanted to see how others performed first, or maybe they wanted to see where their own bottom line was.
However, sometimes the opportunity only lasts for a moment, and if you don't seize it, you will never have it again.
"Brother Zhengqi, since the head of the family has long planned to accept you as his direct disciple, you must know what this third round of assessment is, right?" Wen Ce asked.
"I really don't know this. This is the assessment of the head of the family. How would I know?" Bai Zhengqi shook his head and said.
"Isn't it possible? Didn't the head of the family mention it to you? You are his first direct disciple!" Both of them asked in disbelief.
After all, Bai Zhengqi didn't tell them the truth before, so of course they would doubt him again now.
"I really didn't lie to you about this. I'm just his disciple. How could he tell me everything? Besides, even if I really want to know, how can I just ask about Master's matters? "Bai Zhengqi said.
"Well, seeing that you are so sincere, we will believe you!" The two of them looked at Bai Zhengqi's expression and said.
"Brother Zhengqi, congratulations to you. You are now the number one disciple of our Cheng family!" After everyone left the back mountain, many people quickly gathered in front of Bai Zhengqi.
In the back mountain, they were embarrassed to show it in front of the head of the house, but now the head of the house couldn't see it, so everyone ran over quickly.
Bai Zhengqi is now the first direct disciple of the family leader, and he will really rise to great heights in the Cheng family from now on.
When Bai Zhengqi was not selected by the family last year, they often made trouble and even made rude remarks to others, making fun of them.
Originally, they were selected by the Patriarch and thought that they would become the Patriarch's direct disciples first. However, they did not expect that things are so unpredictable. Among them, only Ye Wen and Sun Qiao participated in the third round of assessment.
What they didn't expect was that Bai Zhengqi would miraculously become the direct disciple of the family leader.
If they don't try to curry favor with Bai Zhengqi now, or re-maintain their relationship, they might be put in the shoes of Bai Zhengqi in the future, which would be uncomfortable.
"Brother Zhengqi, don't be offended if you have sinned in the past. From now on, if Brother Zhengqi says a word, I will do it without hesitation."
"Everyone appreciates you!" Bai Zhengqi felt as if he was in a mirror when he saw so many people surrounding him and supporting him.
But he didn't like this feeling.
He wouldn't really think that they regarded him as a friend just because of their flattering words.
He also knows that these people don't actually want to do this, but the reality is that in a force, everyone does not want others to make things difficult for them.
But he only wants to make himself stronger, because he knows that only when he is strong will anyone truly respect him.
At least now, he doesn't really get everyone's respect. The reason why everyone is so afraid of him is simply because he is the direct disciple of the family leader.
Without this identity, everyone would still treat him the same as before.
Compared to these people, he cared more about the brotherhood with Wen Ce and Mu Heng. The three of them have been a small group for so many years, and they have experienced many lives and deaths together.
They were brothers who lived and died together, how could they be compared to them?
Mu Heng and Wen Ce on the side were also surprised when they saw such a huge change in everyone's attitude towards Bai Zhengqi.
They really underestimated the status of the first direct disciple of the family leader.
In the world of cultivation, it is true that you still need to have an important identity to gain respect from more people.
And this kind of thing didn't just happen here. At this time, Ye Wen and Sun Qiao were also surrounded by many people.
But they don't hold the two of them as high as they hold Bai Zhengqi in high esteem.
Although the head of the family has not announced the news yet, the two of them are the only ones who have participated in the third assessment, so they still have a very good chance of becoming the direct disciples of the head of the family.
Therefore, at this time, they must establish a good relationship in advance. As the saying goes, it is better to provide help in the snow than to add icing on the cake.
Just like Bai Zhengqi, some people offended others before Bai Zhengqi became the direct disciple of the family leader, but now they want to please others.
And they are now maintaining a good relationship with Ye Wen and Sun Qiao before they become the direct disciples of the family leader. Isn't that better than having to apologize to them later?
Of course, there was another more important thing when they were close to the two of them.
"Brother Ye Wen and Brother Sun Qiao, I wonder what this third round of assessment is about?" someone asked impatiently after a while of greetings.
"Yes, tell us, did your assessment go well?" Everyone asked curiously.
"Everyone, the content of the assessment is a secret of the Cheng family. As for the results, we don't know, so we ask you to wait like the two of us and wait for the results to be announced by the head of the family in three months!" Ye Wen said to everyone.
