Chapter 347: Chapter 345. Family Crisis.
Upon learning that Liu Xi had finally arrived, Ye Chong immediately put aside all his current work and couldn't wait to go out and greet him in person.
Until he saw that familiar face, Liu Xi was the same as he was a few years ago. Time had not left the slightest trace on his face. Instead, there was a slight indifference and calmness between his eyebrows, and his demeanor was even. People are convinced that this is more impressive than a few years ago.
The same is true for the little medicine fairy, whose aura is vague and powerful, even incomprehensible, as if the power of heaven and earth were gathered around her, and her gentle eyes always fell on the man next to him.
When Ye Chong saw these two people, he secretly sighed: "This is the realm of a genius. Only a few years have passed, but I am still standing still, and a genius has already soared into the sky…"
Ye Chong smiled widely, his eyes expressing excitement and even ecstasy. Now, only Liu Xi could resolve the Ye Family's situation.
"Sir, you have finally arrived. Ye Zhong has been looking forward to your arrival every day…"
Liu Xi caught a glimpse of Ye Zhong's excited expression and felt that the old man was too excited. He casually asked a series of questions:
"Tell me, what happened to the Ye Family? Where is Mr. Yao? Is there a problem? Has it been resolved? I still have to go. Shengdan City is preparing to attend the Deng Conference."
Ye Zhong's expression froze, he rubbed his palms, looking a little at a loss, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Yao is cultivating in the family. Only Mr. Yao can handle my Ye Family's affairs. Sir, let's go inside and discuss this in detail."
Lu Xi nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
"Let's go!"
Ye Zhong waved his hand, signaling the guards to leave, and personally led Liu Xi and the little medicine fairy to the Ye Family's assembly hall.
The assembly hall.
Ye Zhong and Liu Xi sat opposite each other, both sitting in the second seat below the main seat, leaving the main seat empty to show respect to Liu Sidao.
The little medicine fairy sat next to Liu Xi, and many other elders of the Ye Family were casually sitting in the assembly hall.
Liu Xi holds a cup of tea in her hand. The clean and clear hot water is dotted with pieces of dried tea leaves. At this time, she is rejuvenated in the hot water and reveals her extraordinary charm.
The Ye Family, one of the five major families of the Dan Pagoda, cannot be solved even by the five-star Dou Zun Yao. Do they really need my help for this... Liu Xi thought as he inhaled the scent of the tea. ...road.
Liu Xi looked at Ye Zhong who was smiling and said with a laugh: "Tell me, what problems does the Ye Family face, even Yao Lao can't solve them…"
Ye Zhong looked at this young man who had become famous and was considered a guest of countless higher powers. After a moment of silence, he said honestly:
"Sir, you know that my Ye Family is one of the five major families of Dan Pagoda, and the reason for this is that a long time ago, the ancestors of the Ye Family occupied one of the oldest seats of Dan Pagoda.
But now, my Ye Family has long been without an elder, because the position of an elder is not for life and will be tested from time to time.
The Ye Family has already failed two assessments. If it fails again, it will be completely eliminated from the five major families. Although the Ye Family is currently in decline, it is expected that
the five major families will still rise. shortcut to the core of Danta. If they are driven out, it will be very difficult for the Ye Family to rise. Too many families are looking at this situation like hungry wolves..."
Of course... Liu Xi secretly thought that given the Ye Family's reputation as one of the five largest families in Dan Pagoda, the combined forces would also give Dan Pagoda face and would not dare to embarrass the Ye Family too much.
If this reputation were to be lost, there would be many people and forces who would want to step on the Ye Family and rise to the top. The declining Ye Family would become even more declining in the future.
Lu Xi took a sip of tea, the faint aroma of the tea lingering between her lips and teeth, and said lightly:
"So, Elder Ye Zhongzhong wants me to return the Ye Family back to the seat of elders, thereby preserving the Ye Family's position in Dan Pagoda."
Hearing this, Ye Zhong took a deep breath and looked at Liu Xi with blazing eyes, his voice filled with excitement and a little shame.
"Yes, our Ye Family has failed twice. If we want to successfully take the elders' place, we must enter the top three in the test.
However, as an alchemist, Mr., let alone the top three, easily becomes first. No one from the younger generation of the five major families can compare to Mr. Xian."
Liu Xi nodded. Indeed, in terms of his alchemy skills, he was already on par with the older generation of alchemists, and no one from the younger generation could compare to him.
However, Liu Xi glanced sideways at Ye Zhong and said with a playful smile: "Then how can Elder Ye Zhong allow me, an outsider, to participate in an internal test that exclusively belongs to the five major families!"
Hearing this, Ye Zhong smiled. This is the key question. The participants in the internal test must be the younger generation of the five major families, and alas, the younger generation of the Ye Family...
Ye Zhong hesitated for a while and was silent for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice:
"I want... to let my husband participate in the internal test of the five major families as the future son-in-law of the Ye Family. Of course, this is only in name. The Ye Family will never be entangled after this matter..."
No wonder Ye Zhong hesitated so much. Liu Xi was now a famous eighth-grade alchemy master. He was much more noble than the declining Ye Family. Liu Xi had now become the son-in-law of the Ye Family. It was only in the name of Liu Xi.
Liu Xi looked calm. He was not an unknown person. Once this layer was applied to him, it would not be easy to peel off in the future, and it would easily become darker and darker.
Carefully putting down the tea cup, Liu Xi turned to look at Little Medicine Fairy. Little Medicine Fairy also turned to look at Liu Xi, smiling softly. Liu Xi looked at Little Medicine Fairy's indifferent eyes and said softly:
"Elder Ye Zhongzhong, your conditions make it very difficult for me to cope…"
Even Little Medicine Fairy couldn't give him a serious status. How could Liu Xi casually agree to such a condition?
Hearing this, Ye Zhong's expression changed, and bitterness flashed in his eyes. Of course, it still doesn't work! No, this is the Ye Family's last chance. What price can my Ye Family pay?
The atmosphere in the meeting room settled for a moment, and the elders of the Ye Family sitting around had bitter expressions on their faces. They looked at Liu Xi, but didn't dare to utter a word of accusation.
"Senior Liu Xi, Xinlan begs you, as long as the Ye Family can return to the elder's position, Xinlan will repay the elder's kindness even if he is a slave."
When everyone fell silent, a beautiful girl in blue ran into the meeting room. She looked at Liu Xi with complex eyes that were filled with admiration, anticipation, and determination… and her voice was extremely humble.
"Um?"
Lu Xi looked at the girl in blue with embarrassment. She looked young, about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was beautiful, but she looked rather immature.
"Xin Lang? Ye Xinlan, oh! That must be Ye Zhong's granddaughter, the granddaughter who went to Canaan College. '
After Ye Xinlan finished speaking, before Liu Xi spoke, Ye Zhong's expression changed first and he quietly scolded: "Xinlan, you are not the one who should speak when the elders are talking to each other, so please step aside."
