From the outside, Courtyard No. 7 looks very domineering.
It covers an area of three or four acres, with a trickling stream in front of the door and a forest of ancient trees behind the door. The wind blows and the forest sways like the sea, making the scenery beautiful.
The nearest villa is three or four kilometers away, so the privacy is very good.
Six servants were already waiting in front of the door. Ye Tian handed the documents from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the leading man. After reading them, the man was very happy and hurriedly led everyone to bow to Ye Tian and call him "Master".
Suddenly, it felt like coming home, and a sense of intimacy came over me.
"You all, please introduce yourselves." Ye Tian said gently.
The six people introduced themselves one after another.
They are all people under the jurisdiction of the SHIELD Sect. Because their qualifications are not very good and their family background is average, they come to the SHIELD Sect as servants.
The leading man is Li Xiang, the steward of Courtyard No. 7, and will be Ye Tian's steward from now on.
The other two men are named Lin Jun and Wang Ran.
The three maids are named Chen Xiang, Chen Lu and Zhang Rong.
Chen Xiang and Shen Lu are cousins. Chen Xiang is the elder sister and Shen Lu is the younger sister.
Except for Li Xiang, who is about thirty, the rest of the six are about twenty, especially Shen Lu, who looks younger than Qin Jiyun.
He is the most timid and shy one among the six.
After the introduction of the six people, Ye Tian turned to look at Qin Jiyun who was squirming under the ancient tree ten feet away. He felt funny and asked, "Why don't you come over?"
Qin Jiyun gave Ye Tian a big roll of his eyes, but still walked over coquettishly.
Ye Tian introduced the six of them: "This is Qin Jiyun, my cousin, and she will live here with me from now on."
A look of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the six people, especially the three good-looking girls. They were really eclipsed in front of Qin Jiyun.
"I've met Miss Qin!"
The six people hurriedly saluted Qin Jiyun.
Qin Jiyun nodded, feeling much better instantly.
Ye Tian made a gesture of invitation and said: "Miss Qin, please!"
Qin Jiyun put his hands behind his back and said arrogantly: "That's pretty much it."
She walked into the mansion first, acting like she was the master.
Courtyard No. 7 is very large and is divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard.
The outer courtyard is square, and the corridor in the middle directly connects the living room and the door.
On both sides of the passage, various precious flowers, plants and trees are planted.
The east side is the kitchen, storage room and dining room, and the west side is where the servants live.
The inner courtyard is much more complicated than the outer courtyard, with pavilions, rockeries, ponds, and corridors that turn thousands of times, giving it a rather winding feel.
The inner courtyard is where the owner lives.
There is a study room, a secret practice room, and seven living rooms.
Ye Tian went to see the secret cultivation room. It was not only reinforced with special stones, but also had formation patterns carved into it.
Although the sturdiness cannot be compared with the secret training room of the Martial Arts Pavilion, you can still practice martial arts in it.
The Aegis Sect is very thoughtful about the life, cultivation, and residence of its inner disciples.
After Ye Tian asked Qin Jiyun to choose a room, he chose a room of his own.
All the work of tidying up and ordering was left to the servants.
Ye Tian took Qin Jiyun to familiarize himself with his residence first. He would live here for more than nine months, so he naturally had to visit the places he should visit.
Of course, the most important thing is that Ye Tian wants to arrange the Nine Palaces Void Formation in the inner courtyard and first survey the terrain.
Suddenly, Li Xiang came in a hurry: "Sir, Jiang Jingyu and Deacon Jiang are here to visit."
The title "Master" was requested by Ye Tian, and it sounded more comfortable than "Master".
Ye Tian let Qin Jiyun wander around the inner courtyard while he rushed to the living room to meet Jiang Jingyu.
"Deacon Jiang, why are you here?" Ye Tian smiled and saluted.
"Come to congratulate you." Jiang Jingyu smiled and gestured to Wei Shun, who presented a gift box, "Master Ye, this is a gift prepared by my deacon for you. Congratulations on your promotion to an inner disciple."
Ye Tian took the gift box and said in surprise: "Does the Aegis Sect still have this etiquette?"
Jiang Jingyu smiled and said: "Of course, being promoted to an inner disciple is a big event and deserves celebration."
Ye Tian expressed his thanks and asked Jiang Jingyu to sit down and let his servants serve tea.
Jiang Jingyu took a sip of tea and said, "Actually, I came here today to do one more thing."
Ye Tian smiled and said, "I knew it. Deacon Jiang, please tell me."
Jiang Jingyu laughed twice, then suddenly became serious and said: "The senior management hopes that you and Luo Yuanxiong will each take a step back and cancel the decisive battle nine days later."
The Aegis Cult strictly prohibits its disciples from fighting in private and killing each other.
But it does not prohibit disciples from challenging each other, even to a life-or-death duel.
As long as the procedures are followed, a life-and-death duel is possible.
However, Ye Tian and Luo Yuanxiong are both top-notch geniuses in the Aegis Sect. The higher-ups do not want any of them to be harmed. No matter who falls in this battle, it will be a huge loss to the Aegis Sect.
Therefore, at this time, Jiang Jingyu, with a heavy responsibility, came to persuade Ye Tian.
Ye Tian said calmly: "As long as Luo Yuanxiong withdraws his declaration of war, I don't care."
Jiang Jingyu said: "Someone has already tried to persuade Luo Yuanxiong, and Luo Yuanxiong has already taken a step back."
Ye Tian sneered and said: "I'm afraid you have put forward some harsh conditions?"
Jiang Jingyu nodded and said: "Luo Yuanxiong made three demands. First, he asked you to publicly apologize to Luo Yuanba; second, he asked you to compensate Luo Yuanba for 100,000 low-grade spirit beads; third, he asked you to provide Luo Yuanba with 100,000 low-grade spirit beads.
If you want to do one thing, Luo Yuanba can mention that thing, but the prerequisite is that it will not put your life in danger."
Ye Tian said without hesitation: "I won't agree!"
Jiang Jingyu was stunned. He didn't expect Ye Tian to answer so decisively. He smiled bitterly and said: "Don't object in a hurry. Just listen to me first. There is someone who is willing to pay for you as compensation for 100,000 low-grade spirit beads. As for who it is,
This must be kept secret; you only need to publicly apologize to Luo Yuanba and do something for him."
Ye Tiandao: "I can't do just a public apology. I don't think I did anything wrong. Moreover, Luo Yuanba also injured Shi Poshan. I haven't settled the matter with him yet."
Jiang Jingyu said: "But you did cripple Luo Yuanba's arm."
Ye Tian asked back: "Deacon Jiang, you should know the ins and outs of this matter, right?"
Jiang Jingyu nodded.
Ye Tiandao: "If I were not Luo Yuanba's opponent that day, do you think Luo Yuanba would show mercy to me?"
Jiang Jingyu opened his mouth, and finally shook his head silently.
Ye Tian said categorically: "So, I will never take the initiative to apologize, let alone agree to other rude requests."
Jiang Jingyu sighed and said, "I know it's hard to convince you, but I still have to convince you. Do you know why Luo Yuanxiong delayed the decisive battle for so long?"
Ye Tiandao: "He is waiting for me to become an inner disciple. Now that I have become an inner disciple, his face will be bright when he defeats me or even kills me."
Jiang Jingyu said: "This is one reason, and another reason is that Luo Yuanxiong was attacking the sixth level of Daoji at that time, and he needed time. Now, he has successfully broken through."
Ye Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, Luo Yuanxiong was indeed the seventeenth genius on the top 100 list.
At the age of twenty-five or six, he has already reached the sixth level of Daoji.
Jiang Jingyu took a deep look at Ye Tian and said, "Are you confident that you can defeat Luo Yuanxiong without resorting to any external force?"
Ye Tian shook his head.
This is not a lack of confidence, but an understanding of oneself and the enemy.
A genius who ranks seventeenth on the top 100 list doesn't need to think about it to know that he has an invincible appearance at the same level.
It would be difficult for Ye Tian to defeat him at level four.
Jiang Jingyu said: "If that's the case, why do we still have to fight against the odds?"
Ye Tian said firmly: "I can't defeat him, but he can't even try to kill me."
Jiang Jingyu said: "It's best not to use that terrifying magic weapon of yours in public."
Jiang Jingyu thought that Ye Tian's confidence was the Storm Conch.
Ye Tian nodded and said: "I understand, Deacon Jiang, don't worry, I will be fine."
Jiang Jingyu hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed and said, "Well, since you are so confident, I won't advise you. Anyway, be careful in everything."
Jiang Jingyu originally thought that if he revealed Luo Yuanxiong's cultivation level, Ye Tianhui would retreat.
Unexpectedly, he was as motionless as a mountain.
He couldn't do it either.
"Sir, there is a young lady named Zhou Jiajia outside asking to see you!"
Li Xiang walked in with small steps to report.
"please!"
Ye Tian said lightly.
After Li Xiang left, Jiang Jingyu said with a smile: "You will definitely have many guests here today, and I will stay soon. If you change your mind, come to me as soon as possible."
Ye Tian smiled and said: "Okay."
The two of them stood up, Ye Tian sent Jiang Jingyu out, and happened to meet Zhou Jiajia who came in.
Zhou Jiajia was holding a gift box in her hand, and she was obviously here to give a gift.
Jiang Jingyu was right, Ye Tian really had a lot of guests here today, and Zhou Jiajia was followed by seven or eight guests.
Zhang Jun, Wang Cheng, Su Nianwei and others who had gone on the mission together before came to congratulate him, and there were two others whom Ye Tian didn't know.
I received a lot of gifts without realizing it.
It was noon when Lan Yingying arrived.
"Your mansion is much more spacious and beautiful than my mansion. From now on, my sister will live here with you." Lan Yingying stated her purpose very straightforwardly.
"This...is not good!"
Ye Tian smiled bitterly.
"What's wrong? The four of us used to live in such a small courtyard, but now we can't live in such a big mansion? You go ahead and don't worry about me. I'll go to the backyard to choose a room by myself."
Lan Yingying went to the backyard in a hurry.
Ye Tian was accompanying a guest and really had no time to care about her, so he could only smile helplessly.
In the afternoon, He Yutong and Shi Poshan also came.
After all, they were just here for a visit, not to live with Ye Tian, which made Ye Tian secretly relieved.
In the evening, there was a celebration at Ye Tian's mansion, which didn't end until the dinner party.
Shi Poshan and He Yutong left, but Lan Yingying actually stayed. This made Qin Jiyun so angry that he secretly pinched Ye Tian's arm countless times.
As a result, her own fingers hurt from pinching her, and she became even more angry and angry, with her mouth curled up like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
