Ye family.

One of the four major families in Yuanxiao City.

He controls half of the medicinal materials, one-third of the weapons, and one-quarter of the army in this city and its surrounding area of ​​1,000 miles... In terms of overall strength, it ranks second among the four major families.

Even so, the huge Ye family only has one special recruit to enter Qingyun Mountain every three years... The Ye family still needs to provide countless resources every year.

Not only the Ye family is like this, but the other three major families, even the Cui family, which controls a vein of low-grade spiritual stones, only has one special recruitment quota despite turning in countless spiritual stones every year.

In order to compete for this spot, the outstanding talents within the four major families used all kinds of methods to fight for this place.

The ones Ye Kong encountered were not the most vicious ones.

But he almost lost his life.

Fortunately, after the system was injected into his body, it immediately turned on the protection mode to prevent the injury from worsening and stimulate the heart to beat again.

…

Three days later.

Ye Kong woke up leisurely, hearing a whimpering sound in his ears, and a sharp pain like ants eating bones all over his body.

"My Kong'er, if you leave, what will mother do?"

"My mother only has one son, you. If you are gone, my mother will no longer be alive!"

The woman beside the bed was crying heartbrokenly. She was dressed in coarse cloth and plain clothes, as if she were a servant. Her hands were covered with calluses, she had deep groove-like wrinkles at the end of her eyes, and the white strands of hair on her forehead were exposed.

"Mother~"

Ye Kong, whose whole body was wrapped in gauze, screamed and a tear flowed from the corner of his eye: "Don't cry anymore."

The woman shouted in surprise: "Kong'er, you're awake!"

"Water, the child is thirsty."

"Mom, go get it right away!"

…

After another day, Ye Kong's body recovered a little, and his condition was much better again.

A strange voice came from my mind: "Child, are you finally awake?"

"Who? Who is talking?" Ye Kong was startled, twisted his neck and looked around.

"Stop looking, I'm in your head, you can call me...Grandpa."

After taking a while, Zhou Ming explained the ins and outs of the matter.

"It turns out you saved me, grandpa. Thank you grandpa!"

Immediately, Ye Kong felt a surge of anger in his heart, "What a good Ye Chen!" We are both descendants of the Ye family and brothers with the same father. In order to cover up your ugliness, you are really willing to go to such lengths!

It is true that as a concubine, Ye Kong's status in the Ye family is very low, but it is not so low that everyone will bully him. At least he will be assigned to a separate house, a maid who will serve him personally, and a higher treatment than ordinary children. , otherwise Ye Kong would not have the chance to practice to the middle stage of Qi refining.

It's just that the mistress, Mrs. Liu, is jealous and has a heart like a snake and a scorpion. She has been enslaving and humiliating her mother all year round. If she makes the slightest mistake, she will be severely punished.

The better Ye Kong performed, the more disgusting Mrs. Liu's appearance became, sometimes so much that even the head of the family couldn't look past her, but there was nothing he could do about her because she was the noble daughter of the Liu family, one of the four major families in Yuanxiao City.

And Ye Kong's mother was just a despicable maid.

"Born is very important, especially in such a big family. If you don't have a good family background, but you perform well, you will only end up being suppressed."

Zhou Ming understands this phenomenon very well. The children born from the marriage between nobles and nobles must be geniuses with extraordinary talents and will definitely shine!

But Ye Kong's existence broke this concept and destroyed that sense of superiority. It's strange that some people feel better.

Zhou Ming asked Ye Kong: "Ye Kong, when will the Qingyun Mountain disciple recruitment competition be held?"

"The tenth day after the appearance of the sun in the eighth month."

"How many days are left?"

"Five days, I...have no chance." Ye Kong said sadly. He was now seriously injured and it was impossible to participate in the apprenticeship competition.

"Grandpa can cure you within three days. In time for the disciple recruitment competition, are you sure you can defeat all your opponents, be favored by the disciple recruitment elders of Qingyun Mountain, and then be accepted as a disciple?"

"Yes! I'm not afraid of anyone except Ye Chen! But Ye Chen is 18 years old and I am 15 years old. He has a poisonous body and I have a pure Yuan body. Although I can't beat Ye Chen, the disciple elder saw that After me, you will definitely choose me to start!"

Ye Kong said excitedly, he was full of confidence in himself!

"Okay! Ye Kong, grandpa will cure your injuries and help you regain your strength. Ye Chen will look at your arrival in shock during the apprentice recruitment competition. In addition, grandpa has a book suitable for you. If you get started quickly with this cultivation technique, you might be able to break through to the late stage of Qi refining in the last two days, tie with Ye Chen, or defeat him, and even make that elder look at you with admiration!"

"Then you will step into Qingyun Mountain under countless envious and jealous eyes and become the immortal disciple that everyone dreams of. Many years later, you will be a powerful practitioner with profound cultivation and invincible strength!"

"No one dares to underestimate you Ye Kong anymore!"

"At that time, not to mention a little Ye Chen, the entire Ye family and the entire Yuanxiao City will kneel at your feet!"

"Your name Ye Kong will shock the entire continent!"

The old man in his mind tried his best to describe the scene that Ye Kong often imagined in his dreams.

A smile appeared on Ye Kong's lips, and the pain in his body seemed to disappear. He quickly urged: "Grandpa, heal my injury quickly, and then give me the technique you mentioned!"

"but……"

The old man in his mind changed his tone and asked a question: "What should you do with your mother? After you went to Qingyun Mountain, what should you do if your mother was tortured to death by the unwilling Ye Chen and his mother?"

"They dare!"

Ye Kong's eyes bulged out and quickly filled with blood. He gritted his teeth and said in hatred: "If they dare to do this, I will definitely kill them!"

"Why don't they do this? You also said that Qingyun Mountain's apprentice recruitment range is from 10 to 18 years old. This apprentice recruitment competition is Ye Chen's last chance. You took away his opportunity. You What would he do?" the old man asked.

"this……"

Although I don’t want to think in that direction, what the grandfather said is indeed very likely to happen.

"If you are willing to spare your mother, you can participate in the big competition in five days."

"No, no, no, there must be a way. I will ask my father to send someone to protect her, or send her to a place where no one can find her, give her a sum of money, and let her enjoy her old age in peace."

Ye Kong worked hard to come up with solutions.

"Your father? During these days when you were injured and unconscious, did your father ever come to see you? Can you punish Ye Chen in the slightest? Can you still expect your father to take care of your mother?"

"Send your mother to a place where no one is around. First of all, it's a question of whether you can take your mother away from the Ye family. Even if you leave, with the power behind the mother and son, you still can't find your mother's hiding place?"

"Unless you bring your mother to Qingyun Mountain, she will undoubtedly be killed, and she may also endure endless pain and torture before she dies. However, your son cannot rush to her side. It is really miserable. .”

"do not talk!"

Ye Kong suddenly yelled, crying: "Grandpa, please stop talking!"

"My mother has suffered enough for me. Even if I die, I will not let her suffer at all!"

"I will not participate in the apprenticeship competition, and I will not go to Qingyun Mountain!"

The smart Ye Kong understood the meaning of the old grandfather's words and knew how to make a decision - because his life was brought into this world by that miserable woman.

"You are truly a sincere and filial person. When I find you, my grandfather has found the right person."

"Ye Kong, do you know why you are always suppressed and your mother is always bullied?"

"It's not because you're too good, it's because you don't hide your excellence well. If anything is as beautiful as a tree, the wind will destroy it. If you are too top-notch, you will naturally be targeted by others."

"Grandpa knows that you are still young and don't know some truths, so you work hard to prove yourself to others and make your mother proud of you. This is completely understandable, but you ignore your own origins. …”

"This time, you are seriously injured, but it is a good opportunity to take your mother and leave the Ye family. Out of guilt, your father will definitely agree, and your mother will be properly placed. "

"As for entering the sect, there are more sects in the world than just the Qingyun Mountain one, so why focus on this one? Didn't you yourself say that there is Guanglei Mountain thousands of miles away to the east? This sect is not only more powerful than Qingyun Mountain, Shanda, the standard for recruiting disciples seems to be even lower, why don’t you go to Guanglei Mountain and give it a try?”

"Ye Kong, you are still young and have excellent talents. With the skills that grandpa gave you, how come you can't enter Guanglei Mountain?"

"Remember this sentence: There is always more than one opportunity. Some are waiting for the opportunity to come to you, and some are looking for it on their own initiative. How to choose depends on how you grasp it?"

After listening to the grandfather's words in his mind, Ye Kong felt that his eyes suddenly became brighter. He nodded heavily and said, "Grandpa, I know what to do!"
