Chapter 50: Xu Zhengchun, Family Competition

  "Goodbye, everyone." Li Bo Yan bowed and smiled, seeing them off until they were outside the gate.

  "The castle owner is too polite." After a few humble words, Haiyue was surrounded by other messengers from the Sea Cloud Temple and escorted back to his residence.

  Watching them walk away, Li Bo Yan finally turned around and sighed: "A million people, only one spot... Alas!"

  "Father, don't blame yourself, this is also an unavoidable thing. After all, our Linwan City region is remote and the cultivation of the mysterious is generally not high. In such a large place, there are only a few people with mysterious skills, it's really hard to take out." Li Wang carefully supported Li Bo Yan's arm and said.

  A straight figure emerged from behind the screen, it was Li Zhongxuan.

  "What Ah Wang said is right," replied Li Zhongxuan calmly. "Big Brother's attempt to plead with the envoy of Haoyun Temple now is a useless effort."

  Li Bo Yan shook his head and sighed, "After all, I'm the guardian of this place, and I also want to seek benefits for the people under my jurisdiction. Now there's only one quota, and I'm afraid the Xu family, Li family, and Ge family will all be disappointed."

  Li Yurong smiled and said, "This selection is mainly to eliminate the weak and keep the strong, so why bother, Uncle? In my opinion, Ah-Wang is the best choice in terms of talent, comprehension, and strength. Even in Lin Yuan City, you can't find a second one like him. Those envoys said that this quota belongs to Ah-Wang, which is not wrong."

  As she spoke, a slender and elegant young man's figure involuntarily appeared in Li Yurong's mind. She shook her head, smiled slightly, and thought to herself: Although that person is not ordinary, his realm is too low, after all, he can't compare to Li Wang.

  A large mansion with blue tiles and red walls, its gate towering high, is not inferior to the City Lord's Mansion in Lin Yuan City. This is a small branch of Hai Yun Temple set up in Lin Yuan City.

  Hai Yue and others entered the mansion and sat down in the main hall. Hai Yue sat on the seat of honor, while the other teachers sat in two rows beside him.

  "Guarding this remote place is hard on all of you," Haiyue scanned the circle, his eyes fixed on the charming and elegant Letingyun, smiling, "Tingyun, you're in charge of this branch, have there been any good seedlings appearing in Linwan City over the past three years?"

  Lè Tíng Yún brushed a strand of black hair behind her ear, this simple action was quite captivating. The elegant woman's expression turned solemn as she took out a few thin pages and handed them to Hǎi Yuè, explaining: "In Lín Yuān City, the most outstanding young men mostly come from three major families. Among them, Gě Family's Gě Wéi Fēng possesses the Ice Extreme Mystical Pulse, already at the middle stage of Xuan Shi cultivation; Yù Family's Yù Xuán Yǔ, Thunder Extreme Mystical Pulse, also at the middle stage of Xuan Shi cultivation. These two belong to the upper four extremes of mystical pulses, their combat strength is even more exceptional."

  Hai Yue flipped through the pages, somewhat disappointed, and said: "Is it that the most powerful ones are only in the middle of the Xuan Shi period? Xu Zhengxin... Xu Zhengchun... Chu Mingde..." He muttered names as he flipped through.

  Lè Tíng Yún said helplessly, "The only one who is truly exceptional is Lí Wàng, the eldest grandson of Lín Yuān Jūn. He has already reached the pinnacle of Xuan Shi cultivation, two levels ahead of everyone else, and is indeed extraordinary."

  Hai Yue put away the materials, sighed and said: "It's okay like this. A remote small town can have a good seedling, it's already not bad." He took the lead to get up and walk out of the main hall.

  A dark figure quietly said to Leting Yun: "The special envoy of Haiyue seems to be a bit unhappy."

  Leticia Yun helplessly threw up her hands, of course she understood Haiyue's mind. Being able to find excellent talent and even the astonishing genius Xuanzhe in Haicloud Pavilion, Haiyue would be able to obtain a substantial reward from Haicloud Pavilion.

  The next morning.

  Xu Yang put on new clothes, his long black hair was tied up with a beautiful hairpin by Xu Yu.

  "This golden ring was left by Father..." Xu Yu said in a low voice, "Brother is wearing this golden ring today, just like Father is watching us..."

  Xu Yang patted Xu Yu's small hand, he understood Xu Yu's emphasis on family affection. This golden ring, even in the most difficult times, was not taken to pawn, which can be seen from this.

  "Brother, you look really handsome." Xǔ Yú helped Xǔ Yáng get dressed up and then clapped her hands, laughing.

  Xu Yang stood up, calmed down a bit, and said: "Let's go, Xiao Yu." He pulled over his sister's small hand and walked straight out of the courtyard.

  Xu Yu turned back and said: "Ting Lan, take good care of the house."

  The fat ball ran to Xu Yang's feet, circled around and hummed. Xu Yang smiled slightly, shook his hand, and a suction force emerged, sucking the snow-white fluffy ball into his palm and placing it on his shoulder.

  "Let's go!" Xǔ Yuè exclaimed happily, hugging Xǔ Yáng's other arm.

  Xu's family home had two mysterious men standing in front of the gate.

  This street is called Xu Xiang, and almost every household is a Xu family business. Today is the day of the big comparison of the family, all the young masters of the Xu family, regardless of their closeness or distance, will come to the mansion to participate in the comparison, so two xuan shi were specially assigned to guard the gate.

  "Halt." Seeing that Xu Yang's chest did not have the seven-colored tribal emblem of the Xu clan, the two Xuan scholars stepped forward in unison and blocked his way.

  "What's going on?"

  "I'm participating in the Family Great Comparison," said Xǔ Yáng calmly. "I, Xǔ Yáng."

  Two Taoist priests were checking the register and just about to let them pass when a voice came from the doorway.

  "Ha! Xu Yang! I didn't think you'd actually dare to come!"

  Before he had finished speaking, a young man walked out quickly, and it was Xu Zhengming. He also came to participate in the family competition.

  Xu Yang ignored Xu Zhengming, pulled Xu Yu's small hand and walked straight into the main gate of the mansion.

  "Ah!" Xu Zhengming's mood suddenly became indignant, "You're really something, Xu Yang! You're about to die and you still dare to be so arrogant!" His fists were clenched tightly.

  "Master Ming, please calm down," two of the dark-robed men hastily stepped forward to restrain him, "this is our residence."

  Xu Zhengming put down his fist and snorted, "Xu Yang, I'm warning you, during the family competition, it's not allowed to use any defensive mystical devices! Let's see how you'll block my attack then."

  Xu Yang plugged his ears and walked through the flower path in the front yard, heading towards the martial arts arena.

  "Trash is trash, now you know and are afraid?" Xu Zhengming's words were full of sarcasm, "Not even daring to say a word, haha."

  Xu Yang stopped in his tracks and turned around calmly saying: "Save your loud barking for after the Grand Competition."

  This provocative remark thoroughly enraged Xu Zhengming. His face suddenly turned bright red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Yang! I won't let you off!"

  "What's wrong, Zhengming?" A slightly sharp voice came from behind.

  Xu Zhengming turned around and hurriedly walked up with a flattering smile on his face after seeing the person clearly: "Zhengchun brother, you're here."

  The Xus, apart from the main branch of Xu Changling, also have other branches such as the second and third houses. The younger generation of the main house is not very prosperous, Xu Qingyue only has one son Xu Zhengxin, while Xu Qingfan still has no children. As for the second son Xu Qingyuan's line, it's not worth mentioning.

  Among the descendants of the side branches, there are quite a few who are prosperous. The most outstanding among them is not Xu Zhengming, but Xu Zhengchun.
