In the huge martial arts hall, his shouts echoed throughout the sky.
Countless eyes were cast towards Ye Chen at the same time, with a little awe and admiration in their eyes.
Ye Chen strode into the martial arts hall with meteoric strides. He took several steps forward and landed on the high platform like a rainbow.
At this moment, the high platform is already lined with incense burners, sacrifices for the New Year Festival, and many ancestors' tablets.
The annual festival is extremely serious for any family, at least, that was the atmosphere present. After Ye Chen jumped off the high platform, the whole place fell silent again.
Ye Chen raised the wine glass next to the incense burner and took a step forward. The wine glass poured out and the wine splashed all over the floor.
"The first glass of wine, to worship the ancestors!" A loud voice floated out. Ye Chen then picked up another glass of wine and bowed slightly toward the cemetery behind Ye's family.
"The second glass of wine is for those family members who died protecting the family!" The wine glass poured out and the wine spilled all over the floor again.
"The third glass of wine is for those secret guards who guard the family and are willing to remain unknown!"
"The fourth glass of wine is for those family members who are guarding the family property in other places!"
The whole square was silent except for the sound of dripping wine. When the last glass of wine was finished, Ye Chen raised his head and looked at the young faces below.
"In the past year, the family has been attacked by mysterious forces and oppressed by other aristocratic families, but in the end we still persevered. In this year, we have all grown up, and the seniors have protected us young people with their own lives.
generation, because the seniors know that our younger generation is the future of the Ye family. After losing the protection of the seniors, can you use your own strength to face those dangers?" Ye Chen Leng took a step forward.
shouted: "Can you!"
Most of the children of the Ye family present were young people. Facing Ye Chen's gaze, all the children of the Ye family raised their heads and shouted loudly: "Yes!"
"Even though our seniors have passed away, as long as there is our younger generation, even if we shed the last drop of blood, we will let the world see that the younger generation of our Ye family are not cowards!" Ye Chen still shouted loudly.
There are people who can inflame the atmosphere of a scene with just one word. There is no doubt that Ye Chen is such a person.
The young men of the Ye family all looked excited, but Ye Chen's next words made them look shocked: "Which of you will reach the martial arts realm next year, stand up!"
After a few teenagers looked at each other for a few times, they stepped forward one after another.
However, most of the teenagers still stood there with bitter expressions on their faces. How could they break through and refine weapons in just one year?
The most surprising thing is that among the people who stood up, Ye Fanbai was included. His bloodline has not yet been awakened, how could he be able to break through to the martial arts realm?
Compared to the hundreds of teenagers present, the dozen or so teenagers in front of him seemed small. Nodding slightly, Ye Chen said calmly: "From today onwards, you will enter Tianwai Tower and become members of Tianwai Tower!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar immediately. This Tianwai Building is the focus of the family's training now. The cultivation resources in it are extremely rich, but the conditions for recruiting members are also extremely strict.
Therefore, most teenagers dream of entering the Tianwai Tower, but the strict conditions shatter the fantasies of countless people.
The faces of many young people are full of unwillingness. Why can these people join Tianwai Tower?
Sensing the reluctance on the faces of those young men, Ye Chen still said calmly: "As long as you believe that you are a genius, then he is a genius. Just the martial arts realm will scare you away, let alone the Qi martial arts realm?
"
"If you don't even believe in yourself, how can your family spend a lot of resources to train you?" Ye Chen said indifferently without caring about the face of these young people.
With the sharp tone and the majesty that Ye Chen inadvertently revealed, those young men who had not come forward all lowered their heads with regretful expressions on their faces.
"Fireworks are brilliant, they only last for a moment; wonderful and beautiful, they never last forever. Remember, the strong belong not only to the old seniors, but also to us young ones! As long as you believe in yourself, you will have no regrets even if you fail!" Ye Chen said calmly.
.
Turning around, he jumped off the ancestor worship platform. Ye Chen sat on the Lingyi platform and said calmly: "The annual festival competition begins!"
Looking at this scene, Ye Wushuang and Ye Leng were both stunned. Is the New Year Festival over like this?
In the past, Ye Wen would bring out the glorious history of his family during annual festivals, but today, Ye Chen was too lazy to bring it out.
Waving the feather fan, Ye Wushuang nodded helplessly to an elder, and then he and Ye Leng walked towards the high platform.
After many of the elders of the Ye family took their seats, the long-awaited annual festival ceremony officially began.
Ye Chen was not interested in a competition of this level at all. When the competition just started, Ye Chen closed his eyes and slowly operated his skills.
Seeing Ye Chen's behavior, Ye Wushuang and the others deliberately did not communicate with each other. Therefore, the entire high platform was unusually quiet.
And a short silence can also give people a sense of oppression. Therefore, the children of the Ye family who were competing around them exerted all their strength, for no reason, just to satisfy these Ye Chen senior officials.
The most eye-catching thing about this annual festival is undoubtedly Ye Fanbai. With the help of several blades, he defeated several opponents one after another, and finally stopped in the hands of a martial arts master.
When the people around him felt pity for Ye Fanbai, Ye Fanbai took the failure relatively lightly and glanced slightly at Ye Chen on the high platform. Ye Fanbai jumped off the martial arts platform quite gracefully.
"This guy is pretty good!" Ye Chen, who had his eyes closed, suddenly said. After saying that, Ye Chen continued to practice.
The annual festival lasted for nearly three hours, so after the annual festival ended, the sky became darker.
After the annual ceremony, Ye Chen did not return directly to the ancestral pavilion.
Since the heads of the major aristocratic families in Luoxia City came to pay New Year's greetings with gifts, as the residence of the Ye family, Ye Chen had to make a formality and at least meet the heads of those aristocratic families.
In front of Ye Chen, these formerly majestic heads of aristocratic families appeared extremely humble and respected the Ye family. Even the head of the family surnamed Huang came to pay New Year's greetings to the Ye family.
And those aristocratic families that depended on the Ye family came with rich new year gifts. Some heads of aristocratic families even sent young and beautiful women from their families to Ye Mansion, saying that they were slaves for Ye Chen, considering that Ye Chen was still single.
.
Ye Chen naturally refused this, but Ye Chen accepted the gifts brought by the heads of the aristocratic families without any courtesy.
At least on the surface, the heads of these aristocratic families were having a pleasant time getting along with Ye Chen. After a brief exchange, the heads of these aristocratic families also left one after another.
After the last head of the aristocratic family left, it became dark outside. Sharp explosions continued to sound, and bright fireworks bloomed in the void.
Looking at the sky full of fireworks, Ye Chen sighed slightly: "It's another year!"
"For a cultivator, the higher the level of cultivation, the longer the lifespan!" Huo Qilin's voice echoed in Ye Chen's heart: "But in the past year, your achievements have shocked me!"
With a slight smile, Ye Chen stood up and walked towards the main hall of the Ye family. Next was the family banquet.
The hall, which is more than 500 meters wide and 500 meters long, is filled with hundreds of tables for banquets. This was the Ye family's practice in previous years, with both direct and branch families sitting together at the same table.
Because of Lan Gu's presence, Ye Chen also attended the family banquet tonight, and Mu Chen was also brought here by Ye Chen.
Even Ye Tian, whose legs were disabled, also attended the banquet. Since his legs were disabled, Ye Tian has been living a leisurely life, occasionally helping the family manage some properties.
The entire banquet lasted for three hours. After the fireworks were set off, everyone dispersed.
After sending Lan Gu back to the house, Ye Chen and Muchen stood side by side and walked towards the courtyard.
"Why, you're leaving again!" Mu Chen suddenly said.
"Well! After I leave, Lan Gu will be entrusted to you to take care of me!" Ye Chen was not surprised as to why Mu Chen knew that he was leaving.
"Lan Gu is my relative!" Mu Chen stopped and said firmly.
"It's true that I'm out of sight!" Ye Chen chuckled and walked toward the courtyard with Mu Chen in his arms.
