Chapter 25 The Four Great Families

A deafening roar of cheers erupted from the stands.

The loudest voice came from Leng Qing: "Great! Young Master Yun has won!"

Leng Yun defeated Leng Wudi, and their great battle opened the eyes of everyone in the Leng family.

The seven elders and the family head were undoubtedly cold. Before long, they arrived at the open space in the Green Bamboo Garden.

At this time, most of the Green Bamboo Garden had been destroyed, the land was scorched black, and a wisp of smoke would rise when you stepped on it.

"Leng Yun, how dare you! You dare to consume the Qi Strengthening Pill without permission! According to the Leng family rules, what is your punishment?" Leng Wuyi shouted loudly. He didn't care that Leng Yun had won the competition; he only wanted to punish Leng Yun.

"Second Uncle, according to the Leng family's rules, any inner courtyard young master can come and snatch this Qi-strengthening Pill." Leng Yun could only support himself on the ground with the broken ruler to avoid falling. "I defeated Leng Wudi, so I am now also an inner courtyard young master."

Leng Wuyi's face was filled with anger: "This is sophistry!"

At this moment, the First Elder waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's just let this matter go. Anyway, the Qi Strengthening Pills have already been consumed by the Leng family disciples, so it's not a waste."

"Hehe, thank you very much, Elder." Leng Yun smiled and clasped his hands in thanks to the Elder.

The elder nodded: "Yes, go back and rest. We'll talk again in seven days."

Before the words were even finished, the Leng family's medical team rushed over, followed by Leng Qing.

"Young Master Yun, how are you?" Leng Qing asked with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Leng Yun said, sounding somewhat strained.

The medical team carried the unconscious Leng Wudi away, then gave Leng Yun some basic treatment and carried her back to the Leng family mansion to rest.

……

For the next few days, the entire Leng family talked incessantly about the battle.

Everyone was still eager for more and even hoped that Leng Yun would make another move.

After Leng Yun defeated Leng Wudi, his status jumped to that of the young master of the inner courtyard of the Leng family, a status that was completely different from before.

Those who used to mock Leng Yun as a good-for-nothing are now being trampled underfoot by him. I wonder what they think.

Becoming a young master in the inner courtyard brought a significant improvement in all aspects, including monthly stipends, resources, and status.

However, Leng Yun didn't care about these things. If it weren't for the family rules, he would even want to go back to living in the thatched hut.

"Sigh, the Leng family mansion is still the best. They are so big and powerful. I have worked so hard for so long, but I can't even compare to a drop in the ocean of the Leng family's wealth," Leng Qing sighed.

She rarely had the opportunity to enter the Leng family mansion. These past few days, she had been staying by Leng Yun's side to serve him every day, so she had seen a lot and that's why she had such feelings.

After resting for a few days, Leng Yun had almost fully recovered and was leisurely leaning against the bed.

“You can’t say that. I think your abilities are better than most people in the Leng family.” Leng Yun comforted him while eating some high-end fruit. “I think that as long as you have enough funds, you will definitely be able to achieve even greater success.”

Leng Qing smiled and straightened her ponytail: "That goes without saying. Giving me one hundred taels as capital is obviously different from giving me ten thousand taels."

"Don't worry, all the funds of the Leng family will be yours from now on," Leng Yun said with a smile.

"Really?" Leng Qing looked at her cousin excitedly. She knew that Leng Yun rarely lied.

Leng Yun didn't answer, but took a bite of fruit and crunched it.

"Oh dear, I was so busy talking to you, I need to go back and check on the situation at the outer gate," Leng Qing said.

Nowadays, the distant relatives of the Leng family, as well as level 7 and level 8 disciples, are collectively referred to as the 'outer sect,' and are led by Leng Yun.

During the few days that Leng Yun was recuperating, Leng Qing managed everything in the outer sect, and things went very smoothly, with all businesses thriving.

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Leng Yun said to the swaying ponytail.

Not long after Leng Qing left, someone pushed open the door and entered; it was Leng Shan.

"What? Leng Shan, have you come to challenge me to a duel?" Leng Yun asked.

Leng Shan gave a wry smile: "Leng Yun, don't joke around. I never beat you back then, and now I don't know how far behind you I am. It was the Grand Elder who sent me to call you."

Leng Yun was taken aback, thinking to himself that this was a display of strength, even Leng Shan was speaking to him much more politely.

"The Grand Elder has convened a family meeting to announce something, and he specifically wants to see you," Leng Shan said.

"Oh well."

Leng Yun immediately got out of bed and followed Leng Shan to the Leng family's main conference hall.

In the conference hall, the seven elders sat in the main seats in the center, with three young people standing behind them. They were the three disciples of the Leng family elders.

The patriarch, Leng Wuyi, was sitting in the lower left seat. When he saw Leng Yun enter, he put on a sour face.

"Leng Yun pays his respects to the seven elders." Leng Yun simply ignored Leng Wuyi's hostility.

The elder waved his hand, revealing an unusually kind expression: "How are you? Have you recovered any better?"

"I'm fully recovered now, thank you for your concern, Elder."

The Grand Elder nodded: "Well, that's good. Do you know that the four-family competition is about to begin?"

"A four-way competition?"

"Hmph! Don't you even know that?" An elder disciple walked up to Leng Yun and said smugly, "Flame City has four major families: the Leng family, the Zhang family, the Wang family, and the Liu family. Although our Leng family is the city lord, the strength of the other families should not be underestimated."

Leng Yun chuckled inwardly. Of course he knew all this. In fact, the Wang family was the strongest among the four major families.

Every year, the four major families hold a competition to determine who wins the most matches. The Wang family sends out the youngest disciples from each family to compete.

The Seventh Elder nodded and said, "Every year, each of the four families sends three contestants to the championship, but this year the rules have been changed and each family must send four contestants."

The First Elder replied, "Yes, but our Leng family only has three elder disciples. Next, I think it should be your turn."

The elder's unspoken meaning was that among the younger generation of the Leng family, after three elder disciples, it would be Leng Yun's turn.

Even Leng Wuyi had to admit that this statement was irrefutable.

"You want me to participate in the championship?" Leng Yun asked.

The elder nodded: "Yes, but if you feel your injuries are not yet healed, of course we won't force you."

"My injuries are fully healed, so of course I'm willing to participate," Leng Yun said excitedly. Participating in such a competition would certainly be of great help to him, so how could he refuse?

The second elder said, "Alright, it's settled then. Our Leng family hasn't won a championship for many years. This time, we'll have to rely on the four of you."

“Alright!” The three elders and disciples, along with Leng Yun, agreed in unison.

The second elder continued, "Yes, that's right. But you must be careful, especially the Wang family. They have many experts and they win every year. Pay special attention to that Wang Jiu; he is a recognized genius of Flame City."
