Chapter 8 Seven Days
"Brother Ye Chen, you have to work hard, you can't lose to Sister Ye Xuan." Ye Xi showed a sweet smile, and she couldn't say that she was quiet and peaceful. Ye Chen's meridians had completely recovered. She firmly believed that with Ye Chen's talent, she should be able to regain her confidence soon.
"If it weren't for the mysterious energy to help me nourish my meridians every month, my mother's cultivation would probably have surpassed Xuan'er long ago." Ye Chen showed a memory look. In the past three years when the meridians were broken, he would be in great pain every night. Ye Huang would have to force his mysterious energy to him to help him warm meridians and prevent him from suffering. If it weren't for this, my mother's mysterious energy would have probably broken through the seventh level or even higher.
The people of the tribes kept talking. In the troubled times, people's lives were as cheap as grass. The family became a shelter for everyone. Naturally, everyone hoped that their family would be strong and powerful. Ye Xuan could enter the Qingyun Sect to study. I am afraid that a Valkyrie would appear in the family in a few years.
They were still quite excited about this news.
Ye Zhantian also talked about the business conditions of Ye Family Mine, shops, etc.
"Seven days later, the five-year ancestor worship ceremony will be announced. All the Ye family members who have experienced and done business outside will come back within seven days. They will also send someone to notify the old patriarch and ask him to come out of the mountain. Today's clan meeting will end here." Ye Zhantiandao.
"Wait." Just as everyone was about to disperse, the great elder Ye Moyang next to him suddenly spoke.
"Is there anything wrong with the Great Elder?" Ye Zhantian looked at Ye Moyang, and a slight light flashed in his eyes.
"Today's clan meeting, the clans are all here. I have something to say!"
"I don't know what the elder wants to say?" Ye Zhantian asked.
At this time, Ye Zhanlong, Ye Zhanxiong and others also focused on Ye Moyang, and they had a vague premonition.
"I discussed with the other five elders. Seven days later, it will be the annual ancestor worship ceremony. According to principles, it is time to determine the candidate for the successor patriarch. I wonder what the patriarch thinks?" Ye Moyang narrowed his old eyes and looked at Ye Zhantian and asked.
In addition to having a patriarch, the Ye family's ancestral system also has to select a successor patriarch from the younger generation, and hold two ancestral seals, one big and one small. When the patriarch encounters an accident, the successor patriarch will take power and replace the head of the family.
The Ye Family Fort's successor to the head of the family was originally handed over to Ye Chen to inherit, but after Ye Chen was attacked, Ye Chen's seal was temporarily kept by Ye Zhantian, and the position of successor to the head of the clan has been vacant for three years. Therefore, Ye Moyang proposed at this time that he would re-elect the successor to the head of the family.
People from the Ye family were talking about it.
"It is indeed necessary to choose the successor patriarch."
"The successor clan leader has been vacant for three years, which is a bit incompatible with the ancestral system."
Ye Moyang was very proud of the voice they discussed in private. It was a matter of everyone's hope to choose the successor patriarch, and Ye Zhantian probably won't be able to delay it for long.
Among the younger generation, there are only a dozen direct descendants who are qualified to compete for the position of successor head of the family. If Ye Xuan ranks first in terms of strength, but Ye Xuan has obtained the qualification to enter the Qingyun Sect, he will not compete for the position of successor head of the family at this time. Ye Xiong is in the Ye family and is an outsider. He has been fostered in Yejiabao since childhood. Although he is good at strength, he is not qualified to compete for the position of successor head of the family. Then the only one who is most likely to obtain the position of successor head of the family is Ye Kongyan, the son of Ye Moyang.
Hearing Ye Moyang's words, Ye Kongyan's face suddenly showed excitement and excitement. Assuming the head of the family is definitely a great honor for him. He will be the most qualified to marry Ye Xuan in two years, and he is more likely to become the head of the Ye family in the future. At that time, the Ye Family Fort will be decided by him!
Ye Zhantian frowned slightly. Although he knew that Ye Chen's meridians had recovered, he had only been recovering for a few days and was unable to compete for the position of successor head of the family.
"The battle to succeed the head of the family will be scheduled to take place in three months." Ye Zhantian pondered.
"Why should it be set in three months? This does not conform to the ancestral system!" Ye Moyang argued vigorously.
"Brother said that it will be done in three months. Elder Ye is too impatient. Can't even wait for three months?" Ye Zhanlong said in a deep voice.
"The ancestor worship ceremony will be held seven days later, so why not be held at the ancestor worship ceremony? We have to wait until three months later. If the patriarch can give a convincing reason, we will naturally accept it!" Ye Moyang refused to give in and thought to himself that Ye Zhantian was delaying time. This matter would change later and would never be delayed for a long time.
"There is no reason. As the patriarch, do I have no power to make such a decision?" Ye Zhantian snorted coldly. He looked around the earnest gazes of many tribesmen on the field, looked at Ye Chen, and sighed in his heart. After Ye Chen's strength improved, he would definitely help Ye Chen take back the position of successor head. However, seven days later, he handed over the ancestor seal, which represents the power of the family, to Ye Kongyan and Ye Moyang, and he was unwilling to accept it.
"Captain of the clan is going to be arbitrary again?" Ye Moyang sneered, "Three years ago, the clan leader insisted on his own, which made the Ye family fall into such a difficult situation. Now, what is the Ye family fortress in Lianyun Eighteen Fortress? The ancestral system cannot be broken. If the clan leader still insists, I decided to jointly impeach the clan leader with the Presbyterian Council!"
The incident that Ye Moyang mentioned three years ago was that Ye Zhantian ordered the whole clan to mobilize the power of the clan to save Ye Chen. The precious herbs consumed at that time were the income of Yejiabao for more than five years. Later, Ye Chen even used a large amount of Qi Gathering Pill.
Hearing Ye Moyang's words, Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly. This sentence expresses Ye Moyang's heart. Ye Moyang just wants Ye Chen to die!
Ye Zhantian snorted coldly and looked at the elder group next to him. The five elders sat upright, all lowering their heads, not daring to look at Ye Zhantian's eyes.
"I, Ye Zhantian, became the head of the Yejiabao family at the age of 17. At that time, Yejiabao was almost expelled by Lianyun Fort Eighteen. For more than 20 years, the strength of Yejiabao even chased Yunjiabao for a while. I said it was scheduled to be three months later, and it would not be changed in three months. If you want to impeach, then impeach it." Ye Zhantian said resolutely, with a powerful force on his body.
Ye Moyang's face turned blue with anger. He understood that he could not do anything to Ye Zhantian. Ye Zhantian's prestige in Yejiabao was unparalleled. Five elders jointly impeached him and all the tribe members had to vote to remove Ye Zhantian's position as the leader. He could not shake Ye Zhantian's position in the family. However, he must push his son to the position of successor head, which would never be shaken!
"The clan leader is so domineering, I'm afraid it's hard to convince the public. When the old clan leader comes back, I will naturally report to the old clan leader and ask the old clan leader to decide!"
Ye Moyang could only grit his teeth and swallow this breath.
"Father, it is a family event that the family chooses to succeed the head of the family. It is scheduled for the ancestor worship ceremony in seven days." Ye Chen suddenly walked out of the crowd and kowtowed to Ye Zhantian, saying that he did not want his father's prestige in the family to affect his father's prestige in the family.
Ye Chen's sudden voice stunned the Ye family's tribe members. They didn't expect that Ye Chen would stand up at this time.
A few sighs came from the crowd. Ye Chen was the son of the clan leader. With the feelings of the clans towards Ye Zhantian, they were one hundred willing to let Ye Chen become the successor of the clan leader. But now, Ye Chen's meridians were cut off and he was a useless man. In this world where force is paralyzed, a useless man was absolutely unable to lead the entire family.
Ye Kongyan glanced at Ye Chen and snorted coldly. Could this useless man still have delusions and wants to get the position of successor head of the family? The position of successor head of the family still depends on martial arts competition. This is the ancestral system and will never be changed!
Ye Zhantian looked at Ye Chen for a while, sighed and said in a deep voice: "Then let's set it for the ancestor worship ceremony in seven days!" He also understood how much criticism it would have caused if the selection of the successor head of the family would be ranked in three months. He originally thought that for Ye Chen, he would have to withstand the pressure no matter what, but when Ye Chen said this, he gave in.
Ye Moyang looked at Ye Chen in a gloomy way. He was a little confused. Why did Ye Chen stand up at this time. Then he thought, Ye Chen was already a waste, and it was no different from being scheduled for seven days and three months later. Does this waste still want to compete with his son for the position of head of the family?
The clan will disperse, and the clans are talking about the ancestor worship ceremony seven days later, and they are quite moved.
A message carving flew up and flew to the north, which was specially sent to the old clan leader.
Yejiabao, Ye Zhantian’s residence.
"Chen'er, are you confident that you will win the position of successor head of the family in seven days?"
"Do your best." Ye Chen couldn't determine whether he could definitely beat Ye Kongyan.
"If you can't win, that's fine. How much has your strength recovered now?" Ye Zhantian said, he didn't want to put too much pressure on Ye Chen. Ye Moyang's abacus was very good. How could he not know? If Ye Kongyan was allowed to be the successor head of the family, Ye Moyang's next step would probably be to attack him. How could he not know the private deal between Ye Moyang and Yunjiabao? But he wouldn't be so afraid of Yunjiabao!
"The child has now returned to the fourth level." Ye Chen said. His current level of Xuan Qi is at the fourth level, but the Xuan Qi in his body is a bit strange, and his level of purity is far beyond that of ordinary Xuan Qi. Even Ye Chen himself doesn't know how much strength he has. Ye Chen guessed that his current strength may be comparable to Ye Kongyan. There are still seven days left. In these seven days, he is confident that he can go further.
"Fourth level? Chen'er recovered very quickly. If he could go further, he should be able to defeat Ye Kongyan." Ye Zhantian's old Huai was relieved. Ye Chen's meridians had just recovered. He guessed that Ye Chen's strength was only one or two at most. Unexpectedly, they were already level four, which surprised him very much. In addition, Ye Chen had some martial arts foundation, so he didn't have any chance of winning.
"I have made dozens of Qi Gathering Pills for you for my father, please take them back and use them." Ye Zhantian took out a brocade box from the secret compartment next to him, and there were thirty-seven Qi Gathering Pills filled with fragrance.
"Father, there is no need to search for Qi Gathering Pills for me in the future, I don't need it." Ye Chen's eyes turned red. Now he had to be baptized by the mysterious energy that surged out of the flying knife every day. The ordinary Qi Gathering Pills had no effect at all. In the past three years, he had consumed thousands of Qi Gathering Pills. Now his family's financial resources were greatly damaged and he had no money to collect Qi Gathering Pills.
"I gave you the Qi Gathering Pill for my father. I want you to win the title of ancestor worship ceremony, so as not to fall into the hands of Ye Moyang and his son! These Qi Gathering Pills will not cost much!"
"Father, my child has recently practiced the Thunder Emperor Art and seems to have realized something. He really no longer needs to use the Qi Gathering Pill." Ye Chen said firmly.
