"I remember the once-every-ten-year election for the Four Halls Masters should have already begun, right?"
Ling Yi walked up to Ye Chen, grabbed Ye Chen by the hair, and pulled him up in one swift motion.
"According to the rules for selecting the Palace Master, one must obtain the support of any three top-tier families without revealing their identity in order to pass the test."
Don't ask whether this setting is reasonable or not; whether it's reasonable or not is not important. What matters most is that it's necessary for the plot.
"With your Master cultivation level and your eye on Jiang Qingqing, you must also be one of the prospective Palace Masters, right?"
"Shut up!" Ye Chen Roar, his face pale.
"Let me guess, are you a candidate for the position of Palace Master of the Dragon King Hall?"
"I told you to shut up!" Ye Chen snapped.
If his identity as a candidate is exposed, then his test will be considered a failure, and he will directly lose his eligibility as a candidate.
Subsequent candidates will then participate in the test again.
If he can't become the temple master, wouldn't all his efforts over the years have been in vain?
"Looks like he's not a candidate for the Dragon King Hall's Palace Master." Ling Yi shook his head.
"Die! Bloodthirst Divine Art, break!" Ye Chen's black True Yuan Gang Qi erupted once again.
However, this time, the black and red color scheme looks exactly like the sound and light effects of a villain.
Bloodthirst Divine Art is a technique that provides a temporary burst of power. When used, it instantly consumes a large amount of Qi and Blood, raising one's cultivation level by one major realm.
However, the aftereffects were severe.
Ten minutes later, they will become useless trash with no Combat.
It will take at least a month to recover.
Ye Chen is at the Master Realm, and to advance to the next major realm is to become Grandmaster.
Grandmaster is the Pinnacle of Martial Dao, a realm where one is invincible in the world.
With a surge of dark red True Yuan Gang Qi, Ye Chen broke free from Ling Yi's restraints and took a few steps back.
Ling Yi, however, casually stroked his chin, looking at Ye Chen with a mocking expression.
"Shouldn't he be grinning from ear to ear by now?" Ling Yi murmured.
Ye Chen grinned crookedly, "Heh, Liang Hao, I admit I underestimated you, or rather, everyone underestimated you. Who would have thought that the number one playboy of the Great Qian Empire would actually possess the cultivation of Master?"
"No matter how strong you are, in front of me Ye Chen, you are nothing but an ant."
"Don't worry, after I kill you, I'll kill them. My identity as a candidate for the War God Hall will not be revealed."
Ye Chen glanced at the others, especially lingering on Jiang Qingqing for a few seconds, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes.
However, in order to become the Palace Master, his identity as a candidate for Palace Master must not be revealed.
The only option left was to make the painful decision to kill.
"See? I told you this assessment setup was flawed! This is how Ye Chen got caught out!" Ling Yi shook his head and said.
"You still have the mood to study this at a time like this?" Jiang Qingqing complained.
"Relax, he's just a Xiaoxiao crooked-mouthed God of War, easy to handle!" Ling Yi made a gesture of pinching his fingers in the Void.
"He's now Grand Master Realm, Grandmaster who hasn't appeared in over a hundred years. Don't worry about us; you're the strongest, you have a chance to escape."
"I will buy you time. You must tell Her Majesty the Empress about Ye Chen. This ruthless, brain-dead piece of trash doesn't deserve to be the Lord of the War God Hall."
Jiang Qingqing stood in front of Ling Yi again.
Turning back to Ling Yi, he said, "Let's go!"
"You're actually a pretty good person!" Ling Yi pushed Jiang Qingqing aside again.
"You..."
"I already told you I had it figured out, don't worry, don't worry!" Ling Yi said with a nonchalant smile.
The interaction between Ling Yi and Jiang Qingqing further fueled Ye Chen's anger.
" Hegemon Fist, all of you, die!"
Ye Chen lunged forward, threw a punch, and a huge fist shadow flew out from his fist, rushing directly towards Ling Yi.
"Don't want!"
"Careful!"
"Run!"
Zhang Lanyun, Jiang Qingqing, and Liang Wanshan shouted almost simultaneously.
"Smack!"
The slap was crisp and loud.
"Awooo, awooo!"
Ye Chen was hit and let out a miserable howl like a husky whose foot had been stepped on.
The black and red True Yuan Gang Qi on his body was extinguished by the slap, and the fist shadow collapsed before it could even get close to Ling Yi.
This time, Ye Chen was neither knocked away nor forced back.
But the moment he looked up, Jiang Qingqing saw Ye Chen's expression and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"The pressure is just right, enough to make you dizzy but not brain-damaged. Since you like to smile crookedly, then fine, you can have that crooked smile forever." Ling Yi clapped his hands and nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, Ye Chen's chin was twisted, and half of the bones in his face were broken.
Even if it's cured, it's unlikely to return to normal.
From this moment on, the Crooked-Mouthed God of War will become the true Crooked-Mouthed God of War.
"Li Yingyan is gray and has cultivation, Ang Hao, Li still washes."
Because half of his face and half of his chin were broken and crooked, Ye Chen had great difficulty speaking.
"What is he saying?" Jiang Qingqing asked.
"He said, 'You actually crippled my cultivation, Liang Hao, you deserve to die!'" Ling Yi translated.
"You still dare to shout at a time like this?"
That's exactly what I'm saying!
Ling Yi raised his hand again, and said mockingly, " Jiang Qingqing is right. Still barking like a dog at a time like this? Are you sure you're not going to run away now?"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, he'll still love me!" As soon as he finished speaking, the jade pendant around Ye Chen's neck emitted a black light.
The next moment, Ye Chen's figure disappeared.
"What did he say at the end?" Jiang Qingqing asked.
"You just wait, I'll be back," Liang Wanshan said as he walked over.
"Uncle Liang, you could tell from that?"
"A bit of guessing, but also some conjecture." Liang Wanshan shook his head.
He then looked at Ling Yi and said, "You brat, tell me, when did you become so powerful?"
"Have I always been this good?"
"So, your image of a playboy was all an act?" Jiang Qingqing asked.
"No, I am a spoiled brat, why would I pretend?"
"But you're so powerful, even Grandmaster can't beat you!"
"Does this have anything to do with whether I'm a playboy or not? Does it affect my eating, drinking, having fun, chasing girls, and wasting money?"
Jiang Qingqing was speechless.
Yes, whether Liang Hao is powerful or not doesn't conflict with whether he wants to be a playboy.
No, Liang Hao was being sarcastic. He was using these words to mock himself because he had previously broken off the engagement.
Yes, that must be it.
"Alright, that's enough of the plot, everyone disperse!" Ling Yi waved his hand, turned and went upstairs.
"By the way, I will announce online later that our engagement is off."
"No!" Jiang Qingqing shouted.
"Why are you shouting like that? Didn't you say you wanted to break off the engagement? Then break it off!" Ling Yi frowned.
"I, you, you, you..." Jiang Qingqing didn't know what to say for a moment.
She broke off the engagement because Liang Hao was not good enough for her.
But now, she doesn't want to call off the engagement.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'?" Ling Yi came down the stairs again and went straight to Jiang Qingqing.
"You wouldn't happen to have fallen for me, would you?"
"Nonsense, I didn't. I just felt, well, that I needed to discuss this with my family and take it seriously. I can't, I can't let my actions ruin the relationship between our two families."
"Yes, that's it!"
Ling Yi suddenly leaned close to Jiang Qingqing and blew a breath on Jiang Qingqing face. "I'm going out to eat later, want to come along?"
Jiang Qingqing's face instantly turned red. Was this a wall slam? It must be, even though there was no wall behind her.
Ling Yi straightened up. "Are you going or not? Give me a straight answer!"
"Go!"
"OK, I'm going to change. Wait for me!"
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he turned and went upstairs.
Jiang Qingqing felt her face burning up and couldn't help but cover it.
Liang Wanshan and Zhang Lanyun, who were standing nearby, exchanged a glance and both smiled like doting aunts.
Our son is quite the charmer!
Looks like good news is on the way!
We'll hold an engagement party later to settle things between us.
Okay, I've been wanting a grandson for a long time, and the little rascal has finally come to his senses.
Let's not be third wheels. It'll be awkward if Qingqing realizes we're there later.
Yes, yes, let's go!
The couple exchanged a glance, then quietly left.
About twenty minutes later, Ling Yi, who had changed into a blue casual suit, came down the stairs.
Ling Yi, already handsome, looked even more striking in his well-fitting clothes, instantly catching Jiang Qingqing's eye.
Mindset determines attitude, and attitude determines relationships.
Jiang Qingqing used to find Liang Hao utterly unpleasant, but now she finds him incredibly handsome.
You can't blame Jiang Qingqing for being realistic; after all, Liang Hao was really awful.
Let alone Jiang Qingqing, the future Palace Master of the Qianyuan Hall, no decent woman would ever fall for a playboy.
Unless it's something improper or has ulterior motives.
"Eat, drink, sing, get a foot massage—it's all on me tonight, and it's on me."
Jiang Qingqing also wanted to learn more about Ling Yi, so she didn't refute him.
Ling Yi his right arm, and Ling Yi Jiang Qingqing smiled slightly, reaching out to take his arm.
The two walked out side by side.
If it were the old Ling Yi, he definitely wouldn't have provoked the female lead in the story world.
But Ling Yi, who had experienced 998 worlds, had long since given up the struggle.
Of the 998 worlds, more than fifty women are connected to Ling Yi.
By this time, Ling Yi was already a seasoned womanizer.
The innocent, naive Little White hesitated and struggled when the female lead took the initiative to come to him back then is long gone.
At the same time, news of Ye Chen's failure in the assessment of the first candidate for Hall Master of the War God Hall had also reached the War God Hall.
The second candidate will fill the vacancy directly.
This person is named Liu Chen, and he is also one of the nine male protagonists.
It follows the premise of a legendary healer descending from the mountain.
His medical and toxicological skills were unparalleled.
According to the substitute rules, Liu Chen will replace Ye Chen and start over as a security guard in the Liu Clan.
We will arrive in Dafeng City by the Acquired at the latest.
Meanwhile, news that Liang Hao was suspected of possessing the cultivation level of Grandmaster began to spread quietly.
This news was certainly not leaked by Liang Wanshan and Zhang Lanyun.
It was the Empress who leaked the information.
As a candidate for one of the four hall masters, Ye Chen's clothes had undergone special treatment.
There are more than a dozen miniature surveillance devices alone.
The War God Hall and the Empress are fully aware of what happened to the Liang Family today.
