"Fire ...... Fire ......" Mars sat on Ye Chen's shoulder, and also shook his head and let out a sound of doubt.

"Mars, don't make a fuss, I'm thinking about something. Wondering in his heart, Ye Chen decided to take the initiative and had to leave this courtyard to see the situation outside.

After deciding to leave Xue Junhao's owner's compound, Ye Chen turned around and walked straight towards the gate, this time, he finally saw the second person besides himself after leaving the customs.

In front of the owner's compound, an old man in green clothes and white hair was leaning against the doorpost, although he only saw the back of the old man, Ye Chen had already recognized it, this was the old housekeeper in the village.

"Uncle Xue!" Ye Chen shouted from afar, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the gate.

"Elder Ye, are you out of the customs?!" The old housekeeper immediately turned his head when he heard the voice, and saw that it was Ye Chen, and his face was full of surprise.

"Yes, Uncle Xue, didn't I just get out of the customs, but it turned out that no one in this courtyard was missing, which is really strange. Walking up to the old housekeeper, Ye Chen showed a puzzled look and said, "Could it be that during my time in retreat, something happened to the village, and there was no accident?"

"Hehe, Elder Ye, you're half right, something did happen to Zhuang Shang, but it wasn't an accident. The old butler said with a smile.

"Huh?" Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a moment what was going on.

"Isn't Elder Ye aware that the village is going to elect a new elder? This is a great event in the Wind and Snow Mountain Villa! For many years, the village has not selected people to join the Council of Elders through competition. The old butler touched his beard, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes inadvertently revealed a look of fascination.

"This ...... It's not like everyone is gone, is it?" Of course Ye Chen knew what the old housekeeper said, but he didn't expect the scale to know so much, and even the servants and maids disappeared because of this.

"What's so strange about this, whenever there is something particularly important in the village, everyone will be given a holiday, since there is time, who would want to miss such a wonderful thing? If it weren't for the owner of the village who ordered people to stay and wait for Elder Ye to come out in turn, I would definitely be waiting over there now." ”

Ye Chen was speechless for a while when he heard this, and said in his heart that he was really too naïve. Remembering that he still didn't know how much time this retreat had taken, Ye Chen asked again, "Uncle Xue, what stage has this selection been carried out in?"

"Ah, this selection has been going on for a while, Elder Ye, you don't know, in our village, there is a chance to enter the Council of Elders, so who doesn't fight to rush to go." Therefore, this initial screening competition took a full three or four days, and it has only now reached a critical moment, and there are still eight people left, and we can know who can become the new elder of our Wind Snow Mountain Villa like Elder Ye. ”

"What about the iron tower, how is he compared?" Ye Chen said with concern.

"Elder Ye, there are quite a few young people in our village called Iron Tower, which one are you asking?" The old housekeeper thought for a long time, but he didn't expect who Ye Chen was asking.

"It's the young man I personally brought back to the other courtyard to live in the room next to me, who looks five big and three thick, is very honest, and laughs silly. ”

"Oh, you're talking about this tower! I know, I know. Hearing Ye Chen's description, the old housekeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands and nodded.

"This stupid big man is not simple, he is a dark horse in the elder competition this time, not only has a solid foundation, but also has surprisingly good luck, and now among the remaining eight people, he has a place. ”

Under Ye Chen's successive inquiries, the old housekeeper talked more about the iron tower.

Because of Ye Chen, the three elders not only committed suicide because their identities were exposed, but the Council of Elders also uprooted many of the three elders' henchmen, and most of them were refiners in the village. In order to make up for this shortfall, this elder election was also deliberately divided into two parts, the warriors competed with the warriors, and the refiners competed with the refiners, and two people from each side were elected to join the Council of Elders.

Seeing that Ye Chen was particularly concerned about the situation of the iron tower, the old housekeeper also deliberately said: "Speaking of which, today should be the most critical day for that stupid big man, as long as he survives today, he will officially enter the Council of Elders." ”

Hearing that the tower had such a good performance, Ye Chen naturally felt very relieved, and said excitedly: "Uncle Xue, what are you waiting for, let's hurry over and have a look now." ”

"Just wait for your words!" said the old butler: "Elder Ye, you wait for a while, and I will prepare the birds." ”

Ye Chen was a little confused, he didn't know what the old butler meant by preparing birds, and then he saw the old butler turn around and put his finger in his mouth, and blew a loud whistle towards the sky, the whistling sound sounded a little strange, and it also had its own rhythm.

It didn't take long for a sound similar to a whistling sound to be heard in the distant sky, but it sounded clearer and louder, and the old butler continued to whistle, as if to guide the direction, so that people could clearly feel that the sound in the air was getting closer and closer to the direction of the courtyard.

Ye Chen stared at it, only to find the source of the sound that responded to the old butler's whistle in the white clouds, it turned out to be a huge snow sculpture, the size of this snow sculpture was obviously much larger than that of ordinary snow sculptures, and a pair of sharp claws reflected dazzling light in the sun.

When the snow sculpture flew over the courtyard, the old housekeeper put down his hand and smiled at Ye Chen: "This is the snow sculpture king that the owner specially left for Elder Ye, we have to rush to the place where the elder is running as soon as possible, but it all depends on him." ”

As the old butler spoke, the Snow Sculpture King had already descended from the sky and landed in the courtyard, setting off a storm and waves.

Ye Chen couldn't help but be a little curious in his heart, he didn't know why he had to ride a flying mount in this competition, wasn't the place where the elders were running was in Fengxue Mountain Villa?

At this time, the old housekeeper had already walked in the direction of the Snow Sculpture King, and said without looking back: "Elder Ye, as you guessed, the place where the elders are running is indeed not in the village, because there are too many people participating in this time, and a lot of strength in the Heavenly Pavilion has been invited to watch the battle, so the owner of the village specially arranged the venue this time on the main peak of our Baiyun Mountain-Sky Peak." ”

Ye Chen covered his mouth with one hand, looked at the back of the old housekeeper in surprise, and said in his heart that he was just muttering in his heart just now, and he didn't say anything on his lips, how could he ......

Ignoring the surprise in Ye Chen's heart, the old housekeeper had already walked under the Snow Sculpture King, gently stroked the Snow Sculpture King's voluntarily lowered head, and said, "Don't think too much, Elder Ye, it's time for us to leave." It's not too late, and although it will take some time on the road, if you are fast, you should still be able to catch up with the round of the stupid big competition. ”
