Chapter 13 The Ye Family
Ye Feng was about to leave when he realized that someone behind him stopped him, he stopped quickly, with a puzzled look on his face, he didn't hide anything, and said his name.
"It's like this. I have a beast scroll for you here. Someone asked me to bring this to you."
"I've been looking for you for many days, and you haven't been in the academy these days."
The boy took out the beast scroll and handed it to Ye Feng.
"Who gave this to you."
Ye Feng didn't open it, but asked first.
"It seems to be a young man named Ye Qiu. I happened to leave the academy a few days ago. I met a young man who gave me three spirit stones and asked me to hand over the beast scroll to you. I saw that it was just a matter of raising my hands, so I agreed. .”
Hearing the word Ye Qiu, Ye Feng immediately opened the beast scroll. The beast scroll is made of animal skin, and some simple characters can be engraved on it, which is generally used for recording.
"Thank you, brother!"
Ye Feng took out ten spirit stones and handed them to the young man, and then quickly rushed to the small courtyard, because something important happened to the family, he had to go back.
Back in the courtyard, Ye Feng quickly picked up a few clothes, quickly carried the burden on his back, and ran towards the outside of Tianling Academy.
Thinking of the contents recorded in the beast scroll, Ye Feng was very anxious, and the family sacrifice was held in advance. This time, the second uncle joined forces with the third uncle and the family elders. When they wanted to sacrifice again, they impeached the patriarch and forced Ye Feng's father to abdicate. The reason was that the patriarch's heirs did not cultivate Ability to humiliate the family.
Ye Qiu was Ye Feng's best partner since he was a child. He grew up together and took the risk to send news to Ye Feng. However, several days have passed, and the sacrifice should be tomorrow, so Ye Feng must rush back before tomorrow.
Tianling College is about a few hundred miles away from Huangcheng, and it will take two days to go all out. Ye Feng can't wait any longer, and he has used the shadow step to the extreme. Along the way, there is only an afterimage, and the shadow of the tree retreats rapidly.
The Ye family is not harmonious, because Ye Feng's father is not from the Ye family. Eighteen years ago, Ye Feng's father suddenly appeared in Huangcheng, was seriously injured, and was rescued by Ye Feng's mother. Ye family.
As for being able to be the head of the family, Ye Feng's father relied on his strong strength and the support of Ye Feng's mother to ascend to the position of the head of the family. However, many people in the family strongly dissatisfied, thinking that he is an outsider, and secretly making things difficult for him.
As for his father's origin, Ye Feng didn't know at all. Ye Feng also asked him back then, and his father gave him a vague answer. It seemed that his father was unwilling to mention it. Seeing his father's embarrassed look, Ye Feng didn't continue to ask, but in order to search for a lot of elixir these years , to help Ye Feng practice, the gray hair is getting more and more day by day.
After traveling all night, finally at dawn the next day, Ye Feng saw the shadow of Huang Cheng. His legs were already sore and numb, and he gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
Huangcheng is not very big, it can only be considered a small city in Kaiyuan Country, with a population of about one million, and the Ye family has been rooted in Huangcheng for hundreds of years. The family has prospered a lot under the leadership of Ye Feng's father, but there are still many discordant voices within the family.
The Ye family occupies one third of Huang Cheng's area, about a thousand hectares in size, with thousands of large and small courtyards. The disciples of the direct line live inside, and the disciples of the branches live outside. At this time, the Ye family is full of gongs and drums, It is a four-year sacrificial event, and it is also the time to choose the position of the head of the family.
Every four years, the Ye family will hold an election for the position of the head of the family. This time, whether Ye Wu, Ye Feng's father, will be reelected?
It's an unknown, and it can only be done with the consent of seven elders.
Zen incense was lit on the huge high platform, and many small platforms were built around the high platform, all of which were prepared for the elders of the family, and the disciples of the family stood around and accepted the baptism.
Sacrifice is a very sacred ceremony, remembering those dead ancestors, under their gaze, seeing the prosperity of the family, there is also a spirit in heaven, and the day when the Ye family elects the head of the family, reincarnation every four years, this is not here again Is it four years?
The surrounding disciples were already full, and several elders of the Ye family sat on the small table, only the head of the family had not yet arrived.
After about an incense stick, Ye Wu, the head of the Ye family, led his wife to walk slowly, walked to the bottom of the high platform, bowed, and then sat in the position of the head of the family.
After half an hour, the sacrificial activity was over, and the next step was to select the head of the family. Under the watchful eyes of thousands of disciples, the tense moment was coming, because this time was different, different from previous years, the main problem was still Ye Feng's inability to practice has brought shame on the family. Ye Wu's position as Patriarch must be vacated. As for who will take over, this is the key.
"The election of the Patriarch begins now!"
The master of ceremonies shouted loudly, and the surroundings were quiet. After all, it happens every four years.
"I would like to report to all the elders, I have a few words to say."
At this time, a tall man in his forties stood up. It was Ye Feng's second uncle, Ye Wen. Disciple, there is also a son, who is now an elite disciple of the Da Luo Outer Court, and this Ye Wen, when Ye Feng's father appeared, targeted him everywhere, making things difficult again and again, it seems that nothing good happened this time.
"Please say!"
The Great Elder signaled Ye Wen to continue.
"Elders, our Ye family pays attention to one inheritance. Only by passing on from generation to generation can the Ye family continue to grow. But in this generation, our Ye family has a waste who can't cultivate, and he is the son of the head of the family. This matter has become a big issue in Huangcheng. It's a joke, so I suggest that Ye Wu is not suitable for the position of being the head of the family."
Ye Wenwen's words were heartbreaking, although the tone was gentle, but the meaning was very clear, thinking that Ye Wu was not suitable to continue to be the head of the Ye family.
"Fart, my father is not suitable to be the head of the family, and it is not your turn to do it!"
A figure seemed to descend from the sky and appeared in the middle of the sacrificial venue.
Ye Feng finally rushed back before the sacrifice was over, just in time to see this scene, although he was Ye Feng's second uncle, but he had no feelings, Ye Feng even remembered that this second uncle condoned his two sons to bully him countless times, every time He was beaten all over his body every time, and Ye Feng vividly remembered it.
The sudden voice made everyone's eyes focus on Ye Feng, especially Ye Feng's mother, seeing her child come back suddenly, rushed to Ye Feng with a stride.
"Feng'er, why are you back?"
Seeing Ye Feng suddenly appearing in the family, Ye Feng's mother was a little choked up, Ye Feng has not been back for almost three years.
"I learned that someone was going to target my father during the sacrifice, so I hurried back. Fortunately, there was still time."
Ye Feng looked around and found that the sacrifice was not over yet, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
