The disciples of the Ye family gathered in the hall, but the middle-aged man shook his head after taking a glance.
He pointed at Ye Tianci and said, "This disciple is barely qualified. But he's not the one I'm looking for!"
Then he asked, "Are these people the strongest among the younger generation of the Ye Family?"
The Head gritted his teeth and promised, "Yes!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man also frowned. "How could Shijiu be wrong?"
His trip was really depressing. He went to the Mo family first, but Mo Tianheng was missing. Now he came to the Ye family and did not find the disciple he was looking for.
When he was about to leave, he suddenly found that the disciples of the Ye family in front of him were all looking at the Head with doubts. Obviously, they were wondering why the Head said that.
An idea struck him and he could not help but ask Ye Tianci directly, "Are you the strongest among all the disciples in your family?"
Ye Tianci had his own pride. He was not the strongest. Thus, he would not admit it.
But he could not say it. He would expose the Head's words if he answered.
So he held his face red and did not say a word.
The middle-aged man immediately understood, but he could not understand. The Ye Family knew that he was from the Sky Fortune Mansion, so why did they hide the genius? What kind of misunderstanding was there?
At this time, the voice of the Master came "Yuanji, bring the guest to Liuyun! As for how it goes, it's his fate."
"Yes!" The Head sighed and agreed.
So they led the way ahead and led the middle-aged man to the back hill.
Ever since he arrived at the back hill, Ye Liuyun had been cultivating. However, he did not blindly pursue the realm. Instead, he was improving his bloodline, Divine Soul, and conception.
Today, just after he had just taken a Blood Vein Pill, he felt that the power of his bloodline has the tendency to increase again.
This was the third time this month that he had raised his bloodline's degree of awakening. A single Blood Vein Pill was enough in the previous times, but now it seemed like some power was lacking with only one Blood Vein Pill. Therefore, he quickly swallowed another one.
Not long after, the power of his bloodline emerged, and the red light in his blood began to spread.
The breakthrough of his bloodline did not cause much of a stir, but the explosive pressure from his bloodline instantly spread in all directions.
Although he quickly kept it back to his body, the heart-palpitating feeling was still felt by the people who came.
Ye Tianci also followed. When he felt the pressure at this moment, he could not help sighing in his heart.
"What cultivation method is Liuyun cultivating? How can he be so powerful! I'm left far behind by him!"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he immediately flew over. Seeing that Ye Liuyun was still cultivating, he did not disturb him. He even motioned for everyone to wait quietly.
It was not until Ye Liuyun had completely consolidated the power of his bloodline that he got up and punched the air above the ground.
With a sizzle, a streak of True Qi flashed with sparks and bombarded the ground, making a big pit and a wisp of black smoke.
"Well, yes, the bloodline is getting stronger and stronger!"
Ye Liuyun nodded in satisfaction.
At this time, his Divine Sense noticed the people outside the formation. Seeing that the Head and others were all there, he flashed out of the formation and bowed to the Head.
The Head was startled and asked in shock, "How did you come out?"
Ye Liuyun also smiled awkwardly. He was so happy that he forgot about this matter.
"I've found a loophole in the formation and have already broken it. I can come out at any time, but the people outside can't get in!"
The Head finally understood that the formation had always been an empty shell to Ye Liuyun. However, this was obviously not the time to look into this matter. He quickly introduced the middle-aged man to Ye Liuyun.
The middle-aged man introduced himself, "I am the eighth of the Hall guard of the Sky Fortune Mansion. My name is Lu Wei."
When Ye Liuyun heard that he was from the Sky Fortune Mansion, his expression could not help but change.
"Mr. Lu Wei, what can I do for you?" He asked while looking at the Head's face, which made him have a bad feeling. "Is it because of Ye Qingyun?"
Lu Wei also noticed the change in Ye Liuyun's expression. He immediately said, "Do you have any misunderstandings about the Sky Fortune Mansion? I am not hostile to you. I came as I heard that there is a genius disciple here. I wanted to ask if you are willing to enter the Sky Fortune Mansion."
In the past, if the Head was to hear that the Sky Fortune Mansion wanted to recruit his disciples, he would be willing to send them over.
But now, everyone was indifferent to Lu Wei's words and even showed a trace of regret.
The Sky Fortune Mansion belonged to the Great Zhou Dynasty and was in charge of nine counties. Fengyang City was just one unremarkable small city in one of the counties.
As for the Prince of the Sky Fortune Mansion, they were loved and respected by the people because they loved and cared for the people. The Metal Guard under his control was also popular due to their extraordinary combat power.
"Were you not here for Ye Qingyun?" asked Ye Liuyun directly.
"Who is Ye Qingyun?" Lyu Wei asked in surprise.
"Ye Qingyun is one of my Ye Manor's disciples. He used the name of the Sky Fortune Mansion as a tyrant and thus was injured by me. He also entered the Sky Fortune Mansion, but he was only a servant." Ye Liuyun was not afraid at all, and his hegemony was gradually increasing.
Although he felt that Lu Wei was unfathomable and his aura was of a martial cultivator in the late stage of the Genuine Condensation Phase, he was not afraid if he was his enemy.
It was only then that Lu Wei understood the attitudes of the Ye Family. It turned out to be because of this.
Feeling the hostility emanating from Ye Liuyun, he laughed heartily and said, "So that's why!"
He then explained to Ye Liuyun, "Every year, the Sky Fortune Mansion will recruit talents to the Metal Guards. Everyone who has just joined will be sent to the preparatory camp to be trained."
Only qualified elites would be selected to hold important positions in the Metal guard. Even the personal hall guards of the prince were also from the preparatory camp.
We provided absolutely fair training conditions for every candidate. Naturally, there was competition as well. It was quite similar to the competition in the family.
Some people were eliminated because of their lack of talent and effort in their cultivation.
If we were to find out someone using the name of the Sky Fortune Mansion to swindle, we would punish them severely.
The Sky Fortune Mansion would definitely not take revenge for such a person. Otherwise, how would the Sky Fortune Mansion have its footing? How would it gain the respect of so many people?"
Ye Liuyun, the Head, and the other elders looked at each other in dismay. They did not know if he was telling the truth.
Lu Wei also knew that it was hard to change their view in a short time, so he said, "You can see whether it is true or false when you get there."
This was the token that allowed one to enter the preparatory camp of the Metal guard. If one held it, one could enter the preparatory camp without passing the test.
"However, if you are afraid of competition and dare not to go, that's fine!"
Ye Liuyun nodded and accepted the token. It was a sign that he had accepted the request. He felt that this was an opportunity for him to leave Fengyang City.
Lu Wei asked again, "Do you want to go back with me, or do you want to rush there by yourself?"
Ye Liuyun thought for a moment before replying, "I'll go on my own. I can take this opportunity to train myself along the way!" He did not really trust Lu Wei yet.
"No!" The Head interrupted, "The Governor's people have always been watching you. They will definitely send someone to kill you!"
"That's perfect. I'll treat it as a test for me then!" Ye Liuyun said confidently.
Lu Wei also admired his domineering manner. He smiled and said, "In another month, the Sky Fortune Mansion will have an entry contest in the Sky Fortune Town. Those who are chosen will enter the preparatory camp together.
If you ride a horse, you should be able to reach the county in half a month. Although you don't have to participate in the competition, try not to be late and enter the camp with them."
"Okay!" Ye Liuyun nodded in agreement.
