Being tortured by her whole family, she no longer pretends to be a real daughter!

Unlike the ranking of the thirty-six nobles, the ranking of the seven major clans is not in order, but is divided into the top three and the bottom four. Different clans are in charge of different fields, and the martial arts they practice also have their own characteristics.

Among the top three families, the Jiang family is tacitly accepted as the leader, because no one has ever tried to shake the Jiang family's status, and this has been the case for thousands of years.

The upper three families and the lower four families were divided a hundred years ago. At that time, the strength of the Gongsun family, the Lei family, the Wei family, and the Cui family was indeed not as good as the upper three families. Whether it was the strength of the family heads or the strength of the family elders, they were inferior to the upper three families, so they naturally became the lower four families.

Since the division of the upper three and the lower four, no one has proposed a redivision for hundreds of years, and the status quo has remained.

Gongsun Yue has been dissatisfied for a long time!

Ever since he became the head of the Gongsun family, he has been very dissatisfied with this matter. Why is it that he is so powerful and has the strength to defeat the Xie family and the Murong family, but he can only be ranked among the lower four families?

Shouldn't some things be turned upside down?

Gongsun Yue is ambitious, so he has always wanted to challenge Jiang Cixi.

Everyone said that Jiang Cixi was the strongest, so all the tribes were afraid of her and didn't even dare to propose re-election for the top three. That's why he wanted to defeat Jiang Cixi. As long as he defeated Jiang Cixi, he would let everyone know that his strength was above Jiang Cixi's, and then he could unite with the other tribes to propose re-election for the top three!

"Jiang Cixi, if you don't have time in the near future, I will bring up this matter later. I don't believe that you will always be busy and have no time to discuss with me!" Gongsun Yue said confidently.

Jiang Cixi sneered, "Why is Patriarch Gongsun so obsessed with competing with me?"

"Of course I will seek advice with an open mind," Gongsun Yue said.

Jiang Cixi stared at him with her dark eyes for a moment, then said, "Well, since Patriarch Gongsun insists on having a competition, it's not impossible."

Gongsun Yue's eyes suddenly became blazing, "What do you mean?"

"The Ancient Martial Arts Competition is coming soon. Since it's the home turf of the younger generation, we old guys shouldn't get involved. If your Gongsun family's team can defeat my Jiang family's team in the Ancient Martial Arts Competition, I'll agree to a match with you. But if you lose, then there's nothing to compete between you and me. The strength of the younger generation is the best proof of the strength of the family."

Gongsun Yue laughed upon hearing this, and with a hint of arrogance in his eyes, he said, "Needless to say? Our Gongsun family is full of talented people, each one a genius. How could we possibly lose?"

Gongsun Yue looked at Jiang Cixi deeply and said, "Jiang Cixi, be prepared to compete with me."

By then, he would let everyone see that the so-called Jiang family was nothing more than a force to be wielded by him! The so-called Jiang Cixi was nothing more than a defeated opponent under his hands.

Lin Yusheng looked at Gongsun Yue's arrogant expression and frowned, "Master Gongsun, don't be too complacent. You might end up losing miserably."

Gongsun Yue only noticed Lin Yusheng when he heard the girl's voice.

He glanced at Lin Yusheng with disdain and sneered, "Miss Jiang, come to think of it, my daughter Gongsun Yu is the same age as you."

He pointed at the girl next to him and said to Lin Yusheng, "I forgot to introduce you to her. This is my daughter Gongsun Yu."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will meet on the field."

Gongsun Yu's gaze fell on Lin Yusheng, and a proud arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Miss Jiang, I'm afraid that you will be the one who loses miserably."

Gongsun Yue was too arrogant, and the other family heads could no longer bear it.

Xie Lanshan said, "Alright, Patriarch Gongsun, the purpose of holding this ancient martial arts competition isn't to determine who's stronger. Why are we being so confrontational?"

Xie Lanshan has always been a gentle and non-aggressive person.

But Gongsun Yue hated people like him the most. In his opinion, Xie Lanshan just had no strength.

He glanced at Xie Lanshan disapprovingly, and said with a bit of force and ambition, "As one of the top three families, you naturally feel that there is nothing to fight for, but as one of the bottom four families, I still have to fight for what I should fight for!"

The resources and interests controlled by the top three companies are much more than a little bit more.

Not only does he want to fight, he also wants to strive to become the largest family in Beihanzhou, so that the pattern on the coins in circulation in Beihanzhou will no longer be the totem of the Jiang family, but the totem of their Gongsun family.

Gongsun Yue snorted coldly, looked at Jiang Cixi, and said in a deep voice: "See you at the Ancient Martial Arts Competition!"

After saying that, he led the Gongsun family away.

Jiang Cixi looked at Gongsun Jia's back as he left and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Ms. Cixi, please don't be offended by Gongsun Yue. He just speaks bluntly." Lei Ting, the head of the Lei family, said.

Although he said so, Lei Ting was actually secretly happy.

Because Gongsun Yue is one of the lower four families, Gongsun Yue's willingness to fight will only bring benefits to the lower four families. If they can really squeeze out the upper three families and let the lower four families take over, why not do it?

If the Gongsun family defeated the Jiang family in the upcoming ancient martial arts competition and took first place, it would surely cause a huge uproar! How would the Jiang family still have the face to call themselves the greatest clan? They would likely lose their status not only in the eyes of the royal family, but also in the hearts of the nobles and the people!

The Thunder are looking forward to this happening!

"Of course I won't bother with Gongsun Yue." After so many years, how could Jiang Cixi not know what the four lower tribes were thinking behind their backs?

What is coming will come sooner or later, because human ambition is unlimited. The thirty-six nobles fight to the death for ranking, and the seven major families are always fighting openly and secretly for status.

She also didn't want the Jiang family to be destroyed in her hands.

It seems that the upcoming ancient martial arts competition is really crucial.

After the public banquet, the nobles dispersed.

Xie Lanshan seemed to notice Jiang Cixi's worry and asked with concern, "Miss Cixi, are you afraid of losing to the Gongsun family in the ancient martial arts competition?"

"If it were four years ago, maybe we wouldn't lose, but now... it's hard to say."

Jiang Cixi herself knew the situation within the Jiang family best, and it was indeed not optimistic.

After what Gongsun Yue had just said, Xie Lanshan felt a little regretful and sighed softly, "Perhaps I was wrong to agree to hold this ancient martial arts competition in the first place."

It is obvious that the four tribes are ambitious, especially Gongsun Yue, whose ambition is written on his face.

"If nothing unexpected happens, he'll do whatever it takes to make the top three teams lose miserably and then run for reelection. At that point, things will be really hard to control."

"Master Xie, this is not about the ancient martial arts competition. Even if there is no ancient martial arts competition this time, the hostility and ambition of the lower four clans will erupt sooner or later." Jiang Cixi said.

At the moment, I can only do my best to prepare for the upcoming ancient martial arts competition.
