Chapter 40: The Four Cities of the Northern Regions

I got up and got out of bed, opened the door, and was greeted by a big face with an anxious expression.

"Brother Fan, you finally opened the door, Elder Bai wants to see you!" As soon as he saw Ye Fan, Ye Mu urged.

Although he comprehended the heart of a strong man yesterday, his hurried and panicked character still hasn't changed much.

Ye Fan nodded, and then walked out of the house, he originally wanted to meet Elder Bai, but it was just right at this moment.

Since they were already living in the main courtyard, the two of them came to the outside of the Ye family's lobby after a while. The Ye family's lobby, which was originally full of people, seemed lonely and empty at the moment, and now almost all the Ye family members went to the library to watch.

After Ye Mu took Ye Fan to the lobby, he left alone, now is the time for juniors to dedicate martial arts, and he needs to do the same.

Stepping into the hall, Ye Fan found that it was not only Elder Bai present, but also his father Ye Feihua and Ye Linglong.

As soon as he saw Ye Fan, Elder Bai spoke: "Ye Fan, you are finally here, I hope you don't blame the old man for yesterday's incident!"

Ye Fan shook his head with a wry smile and responded, "Elder Bai doesn't need to be like this, Xiao Fan has never blamed the elder. ”

Elder Bai smiled with relief and took the initiative to explain: "Actually, the old man did this yesterday and had some hardships, the elder group wanted to let Ye Gongxing take the position, although the old man tried his best to oppose it, but he was alone, and he didn't have much say in the elder group, and in the end he had to turn a blind eye to Ye Gongxing!"

"Elder Bai was able to teach my father such a martial art as the Great Thousand Leaf Hand, and my father and son are already very grateful!" Ye Fan arched his hand and said.

For Elder Bai, he had already seen that the former was on their side, but it was a pity that he couldn't do it.

"Those are trivial matters, but now that your father and son are in charge of the Ye family, proposing new regulations, forcing Ye Gongxing, and openly provoking the authority of the elder group, the situation is probably not optimistic!" Elder Bai said with a frown.

"Is there any movement in the elder group?" Ye Fan was suddenly taken aback, if this was the case, then things would not be easy to handle.

Because with the strength of their father and son at the moment, compared to the elder group, it is undoubtedly like hitting a stone with an egg, and it only takes one Supreme Elder to remove them from power.

Elder Bai stroked his beard and replied indifferently: "That's not true, although you have touched the interests of the elder group, but you have not touched its bottom line, what the old man wants to remind is the next thing, it is better for you to keep a low profile, otherwise you are afraid that your status will not be guaranteed!"

"Thank you Elder Bai for admonishing me, my father and son have written this down!" Ye Feihua stepped forward and said gratefully.

"Well, you are the descendants of the tyrant, the old man will be on your side no matter what, and then I and the Linglong girl will leave for the elders' group to cultivate and explain the results of the election for the head of the family, you can rest assured, with me and the Linglong girl here, then Ye Gongxing will not be able to set off any storms!"

Elder Bai said confidently.

Ye Fan's father and son nodded at the same time, with a look of gratitude on their faces, although Elder Bai was usually stern, he was indeed a person who thought about them.

"Linglong, thank you, Ye Fan wrote it down for me this time!" Ye Fan said to the pretty woman on the side.

Ye Linglong smiled sweetly, rarely showed a little girl's expression, and pouted: "Hmph, what's the use of writing it down, I'll travel so far for you, just promise me one thing unconditionally next time!"

Although he knew that this girl was joking, Ye Fan still responded with a serious face: "Okay, next time you have something to ask, just go to the soup and go to the fire!"

As a disciple of Elder Taishang, Ye Linglong has a transcendent status in the Ye family, and her status is a few points higher than that of Elder Bai.

"Okay, it's time for us to set off, you must cultivate hard during this time, and strive to cultivate to a higher level, so that the elder group can be jealous and completely recognize your status!" Elder Bai admonished earnestly.

Ye Fan's father and son seem to be glamorous at the moment, but in fact, they are completely on the cusp, and the promulgation of the new regulations makes it even more difficult for them.

Seeing Elder Bai and Ye Linglong leaving, Ye Fan and Ye Feihua's faces were a little heavy, and if they wanted to take power completely, they were afraid that they still had some way to go.

At this moment, it seems that forcing Ye Feiyang away is just the beginning, and getting the recognition of the elder group is the real test.

"Father, what Elder Bai said is right, I plan to go to the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range to experience and set off in three days!" was silent for a while, and Ye Fan explained his plan to Ye Feihua.

Ye Feihua frowned when he heard this, instantly thought of something, and said in surprise: "You won't be going to Yanyang Auction House, right?"

Ye Fan nodded noncommittally, Ye Feihua's worry was in his eyes, and he explained indifferently: "Father, although rest assured, with my current strength, although I may not be able to defeat Ye Feiyang, it is absolutely no problem to save my life!"

Ye Feihua glanced at Ye Fan deeply, only to feel that this son was becoming more and more incomprehensible.

"Then you must be careful on this trip, in a month it will be the annual four-city assembly, and you need to go with me at that time!" Ye Feihua admonished earnestly.

"Four-city gathering?" Ye Fan was stunned, but it was the first time he had heard of this name.

"The Xuantian Dynasty is extremely vast, we are located in the northern frontier, simply called the Northern Regions, the Northern Regions were once called abandoned places due to the lack of martial arts, and many of the cities that used to be left are only the four cities of Phoenix, Sunset, Qingfeng, and Shanluo, these cities are the same as my Ye family, they are led by the big family, and they do not invade each other!" Ye Feihua explained in detail.

These things were also known because he had been in business for many years.

"Since there is no mutual aggression, then why do you need to gather in the four cities?" Ye Fan asked.

Ye Feihua looked into the distance and said slowly: "Although the Northern Regions are backward, they have not been completely abandoned by the dynasty, and a lord has been appointed to take charge, and every year at the autumn equinox, the four cities will be convened to hold a grand meeting, so as to grasp the changes of the four major families, and at the same time announce some new regulations and collect taxes on behalf of the dynasty!"

"Then the Ye family has changed so much, I'm afraid it will become the leader of the public!" Ye Fan suddenly became worried.

Ye Feihua shook his head, without much worry, and said with a smile: "My Ye family's land is the most remote, and they have always been exempt from paying taxes, and there is not much conflict with the lord of the Northern Regions, so when the time comes, you only need to participate to show your loyalty." ”

Ye Fan's heart finally let go of it a little, but he also knew that the four-city assembly must not be as easy as his father said, and the Ye family's establishment of a library pavilion to store the martial arts of the major families would definitely make the major families dissatisfied, and it would be certain to target the Ye family at that time.

"Come with me to the Library Pavilion, now it's time for the junior to complete the dedication of martial arts. Since you're going to leave in three days, go pick up a few martial arts first, so you can protect yourself!" Ye Feihua proposed.

Ye Fan nodded thoughtfully, as the young master of the family, it was only natural that he should take the lead in selecting martial arts in the Library Pavilion.

The library is located in the left hall of the main courtyard, only 100 meters away from the lobby, which can be said to be a few moments away.

When Ye Fan and his son came to the front of the library pavilion, everyone had already completed their martial arts dedication, standing in front of the pavilion and stopping to watch, several patriarchs who had already returned to Ye Feihua were maintaining order, blocking Ye Kui and the others from the door.

Ye Fan raised his eyes and saw that the library pavilion had three floors, which looked antique from a distance, just like a solemn temple, and it was also a major feature of the main courtyard.

"Family Master, you are finally here, the Library Pavilion has been completed, when will I wait to learn martial arts?" As soon as they saw Ye Feihua coming, Ye Kui and the others couldn't wait to ask.

Ye Feihua's face was expressionless, and he responded indifferently: "The Library Pavilion is divided into three layers, and the first layer is all the martial arts of the lower grade and the highest grade of the Yellow Order, which allows all clansmen to come and go at will and practice their martial arts!"

"What about the second and third layers?" Ye Kui asked, he didn't look down on the martial arts of the first layer at all.

"The second floor is filled with Xuan-level martial arts, but only those who are gifted or who have contributed to the family can enter. For the time being, there is only one book of Heavenly Anger and Resentment, and the same is true for the requirements!" Ye Feihua explained lightly.

This rule was discussed in detail with Ye Fan, the lower-level martial arts can be circulated at will, but the upper-level martial arts must be well controlled, otherwise the entire Ye family will be chaotic.

"As the patriarch, can't I enter the second layer?" Ye Kui's face turned red, and a feeling of being cheated was born in his heart.

Ye Feihua nodded noncommittally and said, "My words have already been made very clear, if you want to enter, you must contribute to the family, or if you are now cultivating to reach the peak of the Nine Folds, then you can consider it!"

"You ......" Ye Kui almost couldn't lift it in one breath, he fainted, and wanted to break through to the ninefold peak, which had to be the year of the monkey.

"As long as the juniors under the age of eighteen have reached the fifth level of the Returning Yuan Realm, they can be regarded as talented, as for the patriarchs, wait for the peak strength of the ninth level before entering the second floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion!" Ye Feihua added.

The reason why the requirements are so strict is mainly to restrain those foreign patriarchs, once they get the martial arts on the second floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, I am afraid that they will immediately leave the main courtyard and continue to be their head snake.

With so many martial arts at once, I am afraid that it is possible to directly defect from the family, after all, this can be regarded as all the foundation of the Ye family.

After hearing Ye Feihua's words, the people around him scattered, and the elders were all disappointed, and the feeling of being pitted spontaneously arose. However, Ye Gui and the other juniors were all excited, because they had reached the fifth level of the Guiyuan Realm before the age of eighteen, they were not hopeless, and Ye Fan was a good example.

"Xiao Fan, come with me to select martial arts!" Ye Feihua greeted and took the lead in entering the library pavilion.

The first floor of the library pavilion can be entered and exited at will, and at this moment it is full of people, and in the not spacious space, there are many wooden shelves, and the shelves are full of flashing martial arts stones, attracting those ordinary children to stop and watch.

For many people, even a one-layer martial art has an incomparable attraction.

Seeing this lively scene in his eyes, Ye Feihua seemed to see the future prosperity of the Ye family, and after smiling with satisfaction, he took Ye Fan to the second floor of the attic.
