After entering the world of cultivating immortals, I have been living and sleeping

A good night's sleep.

The next day, shortly after Ye Pianran woke up, the room restrictions were triggered.

She got up from the bed, looked at her sleeping mother inside, smiled knowingly, tucked her mother in, performed a dust-cleansing spell and walked out.

Waiting in the courtyard was none other than Ye Citian.

"You came just in time."

"I really can't hide anything from you." Ye Citian smiled and shook his head, "It seems that you already knew that I would come."

"Otherwise." Ye Pianran shrugged, "You asked me to come back, and you had to bring Ye Yunzhen with you. I'm not coming back for dinner."

"I was indeed about to tell you this. Actually, I shouldn't have said it, but yesterday..." As he spoke, Ye Citian sighed, feeling a little helpless.

"In order to avoid a similar situation from happening again, I decided to tell you everything I know. But before I tell you, can I ask how Mrs. Ren's situation is?"

Last night, after the situation in the front hall was almost settled, Ye Citian personally went to the Ye family's treasury to select several medicines that would help restore the soul and sent them here.

It's not like he didn't have such treasures in his possession, but they were similar to the Nourishing Heart Pill and the God-Reviving Jade Liquid in Ye Pianran's hands. They were too powerful and beyond the reach of ordinary people, so they didn't take them out.

At that time, he saw that the restrictions in the house were strong, so he did not interrupt rashly, put his things at the door and left.

But I didn't expect that when I saw it this morning, the pile of things was not moved at all, so I asked this question.

Following his gaze, Ye Pianran looked at the several jade boxes piled at the door. She was not polite, looked at them casually, put them away, and nodded.

"My mother is fine."

"That's good." Ye Citian breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, let's take a step to speak. That matter is not only related to you, but also to Yunzhen."

Ye Pianran naturally had no objection, "Lead the way."

……

The three of them sat down at a stone table under an old locust tree. The lush canopy blocked the sun and cast a shadow.

Ye Citian sat between the two women, cleared his throat and said.

"The reason why I asked you to come back this time is because of the battle two years ago, which was the ranking battle for your new disciples."

"It must have been the time I lost to her." Ye Yunzhen answered in a calm tone, "What's wrong?"

We haven't seen him for two years. Although Ye Yunzhen hasn't built the foundation yet, his aura is much stronger than before. At a glance, it can be seen that he is laying a solid foundation and preparing for the foundation.

Not only that, the proud energy in her body has also dissipated a lot for some reason. Her whole person now looks like she has been through a thousand sails and washed away all her glory, and she is not a little bit calmer than before.

By building the foundation in this state, it must be a sure shot to reach the third-level Taoist platform.

Ye Pianran glanced at Ye Yunzhen and focused on Ye Citian again.

"That's the problem. You lost to Pianran." Ye Citian said, "Do you know that before you tested your spiritual roots, there was a bet about you within the family." Hearing this, the two women looked at each other. They are all full of doubts.

"I don't know." Ye Yunzhen shook his head.

This news has two surprises for Ye Pianran, one is the bet itself, and the other is that Ye Yunzhen, as the well-known daughter of the head of the family and the real eldest daughter of the Ye family, actually knows nothing about it. Know.

From this point of view, this so-called bet should not be that simple, or it should touch on some gray areas.

Her eyes flickered but she didn't speak.

Ye Citian was not surprised by their answers. After all, only a few people in the entire Ye family knew about this bet, but everyone was a core figure in the family.

"That's right. You should also know that our ancestors of the Ye family had a Taoist Transformation Lord. That happened about three thousand years ago. Because of this, our Ye family has a place in the Eastern Region."

"The Ye family has grown rapidly under the protection of our ancestors. After our ancestors died, they left their own lifelong inheritance for the family to protect our family's foundation and long-term prosperity."

The history of the Ye family's fortune is a compulsory course for every child of the Ye family. After testing their spiritual roots at the age of five, there is a ceremony to enter the ancestral hall and worship the ancestors. According to the elders, it is to express gratitude for the blood of the ancestors. Powerful and blessed, every descendant of the Ye family is blessed with immortality.

Of course, if there is no spiritual root, naturally there will be no such link.

After a pause, Ye Citian continued, "What I want to tell you is that the ancestor's inheritance is indeed true, and the bet is also related to it."

"I seem to have some impression of this." Ye Yunzhen frowned slightly, as if recalling something that happened a long time ago, "The inheritance of the ancestors can only be opened once every hundred years, and there can be no more than three people at a time. Therefore, the selection control is extremely strict. Successive family heads, They are also chosen from those who have accepted the inheritance.”

Ye Citian nodded, "That's right. The current head of the family has been in office for less than a hundred years and had a baby for less than thirty years. He is the one with the best talent and the highest cultivation level among the three people who received the inheritance last time. Therefore, there is no suspense about his being... He was elected as the head of the family. At the same time, he is also the first head of the Ye family to achieve Nascent Soul cultivation level in the past thousand years."

"It is precisely because of the special nature of the current head of the family that his two direct bloodlines, that is, you two, have received great attention from the family. However, because the head of the house and Mrs. Zhao were married first, the head of the house later disappeared for no reason and was brought back Mrs. Ren..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Ye Pianran and found that the other person's face was calm before he said this.

"The Zhao family is very dissatisfied with this matter, but the Zhao family has one Nascent Soul Power less than our Ye family, so they dare not say anything. But the Zhao family is not a small family after all, and we always have to To give you an explanation, after the elders discussed it, they first decided to conceal Pianran’s identity, and second, they made this bet.”

"The content of the bet is that when you two grow up and fight head-on, the loser will lose the qualification to inherit the ancestor's inheritance."

"That is to say, I have lost the qualification, right?" Ye Yunzhen nodded, without any sadness or regret on his face, "I am willing to admit defeat, I have nothing to say."

Ye Pianran, who was silent for a while, said, "It shouldn't be that simple."

"As Pianran said." Ye Citian smiled bitterly, "According to the original bet, the matter had already come to an end by the time you had the battle two years ago. However, the Zhao family refused to accept it and demanded that the bet be voided. Retain Yunzhen’s inheritance qualification.”

Ye Yunzhen frowned and said displeasedly, "I have never heard of such a thing. You don't need to worry. I will make it clear to the Zhao family. If you lose, you lose. There is no reason to regret it."

"You think too simplistically, Yun Zhen." Ye Citian shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Not long after the incident, the Zhao family suddenly put pressure on our clan. Although the Zhao family is not as strong as We cannot be underestimated, and besides, it is not cost-effective to lose a partner because of this kind of thing."

"So, the Ye family agreed, right?" Ye Pianran's voice was light.

"Yes. This is also the reason for calling you two back this time." Ye Citian said, "The Zhao family's request is that the bet remains unchanged, but the original bet is void, and they send one of their disciples to compete with you. , regard the outcome of this round as the final result.”
