Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

Others didn't notice Ye Zhenzhen's gaze, but Ye Zhenwen did.

To be honest, Ye Zhenwen was also a little disappointed.

This information gathering is really superficial!

But seeing that Ye Anlin and Ye Zhenrong didn't react, he decided to listen quietly.

When Ye Shibai saw it, the four people were staring at something expressionlessly, without any reaction.

Ye Shibai concluded, "I hope you will do your best in this competition; leave the rest to us."

"Yes" x4

Seeing that there was nothing more to say, the four quickly left the council hall.

Ye Zhenzhen, who was the last to leave, heard Ye Shiqing's loud voice, "Amber, what happened? You only found this little bit of information..."

"... "

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen paused for a moment before continuing to walk out.

It seems everyone knows the truth!

No longer paying attention to what was happening here, Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenwen went straight back to the courtyard.

Waiting for tomorrow to arrive.

The next morning, a group of people gathered at the entrance and set off together.

After sitting on the teleportation array, everyone arrived at their residence in Zhuxi County in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Ye Shibai led everyone out and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Upon entering the vermilion gate, exquisite and ancient, looking up, one sees three plaques with the words "City Lord's Mansion" written in a vigorous and elegant style, clearly the work of a master calligrapher. As expected of a City Lord's Mansion, it is truly extraordinary.

I followed the group inside, walked around the corridor, and arrived at the entrance of a courtyard.

The steward of the city lord's mansion respectfully said to Ye Shibai, "Clan Chief Bai, this courtyard is a temporary resting place for nobles. Please make yourself at home."

After saying this, he bowed and left.

Ye Shibai led everyone inside, assigned them rooms, and then went out to socialize.

Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenwen were in a room together. Ye Zhenzhen gently stroked her wrist. "Tengzi, go explore the City Lord's mansion and see if there's anything interesting there."

【okay. 】

The Moon-Reflecting Vine happily slid off Ye Zhenzhen's wrist and disappeared into the ground.

Ye Zhenwen saw it but said nothing.

After a cup of tea, there was a sound from the neighboring courtyard; it must be people from other families arriving.

After an incense stick had burned, there was a knock on the door, a call for Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenwen to come and meet.

Ye Zhenwen and Ye Zhenzhen went outside and saw Ye Anlin and Ye Zhenrong already waiting for them in the courtyard.

The group went out together and arrived at the registration area.

Ye Zhenzhen's eyes widened instantly. "Why are there so many people?"

"Yes, the Qi family has sent a lot of people!"

Ye Anlin glanced at them, a look of doubt on his face. Why were they here too?

The four waited in line, received their numbers, and returned to the courtyard where they rested.

Just as Ye Zhenwen and Ye Zhenzhen were about to leave, they were stopped by Ye Anlin.

The two looked at Ye Anlin curiously. What's wrong?

But seeing the seriousness on Ye Anlin's face, he guessed that the matter was serious.

Ye Anlin didn't elaborate, and took Ye Zhenrong to his room.

Once everyone was seated, Ye Anlin said to the other three, "When we were registering just now, there was a girl wearing a flowing purple dress; she's from the Wang family."

"What do you mean?"

"What Wang family?"

Where did the Wang family come from?

The three of them asked the question at the same time.

Looking at these three naive youngsters, Ye Anlin rubbed his forehead and explained, "The Wang family is a newly emerging Qi Refining family, but we don't know which family they are affiliated with."

"But isn't this competition supposed to be the Foundation Establishment Competition? Shouldn't only Foundation Establishment families be participating? What's going on?" Ye Zhenzhen asked.

"I'll go tell Grandpa about this," Ye Zhenrong said, and quickly walked out of the room.

The other three were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Then I'll head out first and go gather some more information," Ye Anlin said.

Ye Zhenwen and Ye Zhenzhen nodded, watching Ye Anlin's departing figure.

"Should we go out and scout around?" Ye Zhenwen asked hesitantly.

"No, I'm prone to accidents, so I'm not suited to going out," Ye Zhenzhen declined.

Going out like this will definitely cause trouble, I'd better stay put.

Upon hearing Ye Zhenzhen's refusal, Ye Zhenwen thought for a moment, then said nothing more and accompanied Ye Zhenzhen to meditate and rest in the room.

One hour later, everyone was notified to gather at the competition venue.

Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenwen followed the main group to the competition venue.

In the middle is a newly built platform, and around it are tiers of seats. It looks like it was rushed out and is a bit rough.

After Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenwen found a place to sit down, several people slipped away and sat on the viewing platform directly opposite the high platform.

Ye Zhenzhen looked up and saw the Zheng family patriarch, the Zhou family patriarch, the Qi family patriarch, the Ye family patriarch, and several other people she didn't recognize, each sitting in their own seats.

She subtly nudged Ye Zhenwen's arm, asking, "Who are the other people on the viewing platform?"

Ye Zhenwen turned his head and looked over, then after a long while, said, "I don't recognize him."

"You've been thinking about this for ages without even knowing me, what a waste of time," Ye Zhenzhen muttered under her breath.

Soon, someone from the City Lord's Mansion went up on stage and began to speak.

Once he started, he went on and on.

Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen unconsciously closed her eyes and slowly leaned on her brother Ye Zhenwen's shoulder.

Ye Zhenwen turned his head and glanced at it, then shook his head slightly.

It has to be said, this is indeed very hypnotic.

Ye Zhenwen endured it and persevered, afraid that if he missed something, he would lose face in front of so many people.

Finally, an hour passed, and just as everyone was about to fall asleep, the conversation stopped.

The words "The Foundation Building Competition is now beginning" were like water dripping into a hot oil pan, instantly waking everyone up, and they all raised their hands to applaud.

Next, all participants were invited to come up on stage.

Ye Zhenwen quickly woke Ye Zhenzhen up and, while she was still dazed, took her directly onto the stage.

"Ye Zhenzhen?"

"what?"

"Yes."

Ye Zhenwen pinched Ye Zhenzhen, and the person opposite was checking the person.

Ye Zhenzhen then realized what was happening and said with a smile, "Yes."

The person opposite her smiled slightly when they saw Ye Zhenzhen like this. What an interesting person!

After the verification was completed, a spell was cast on the token that Ye Zhenzhen had been given when she registered, and she was allowed to leave.

Ye Zhenzhen walked to the side and waited for Ye Zhenwen. After they finished, they returned to their seats in the stands.

What were you doing just now?

"Draw lots."

"You can fall asleep anytime, anywhere!" Ye Zhenwen complained earnestly to his sister.

"Tell me, all that nonsense he just talked, wasn't it hypnotic?"

"Well, yes, there is a bit, but you can't just not wake him up no matter what you do!"

"... "

While the two were still arguing, the token in Ye Zhenwen's hand lit up.

"what's the situation?"

Ye Zhenwen looked helpless. "This means I have to go on stage and compete now."

After hearing the explanation, Ye Zhenzhen looked up at the platform. Some people had already gone up, taken out their things, and started preparing to refine pills.

This is an alchemy session.

After cheering for my brother, I watched him go on stage.

Ye Zhenzhen rested her chin on her hand, bored out of her mind, watching the person refining pills on the high platform. How boring!

[Jin'er, something's up.]
