"I didn't expect Zhengqi to appear here with the patriarch. I reckon that Zhengqi must have received a lot of benefits from the patriarch this year." Mu Heng whispered to Wen Ce in the crowd.
In fact, seeing Bai Zhengqi appear here, they were also quite surprised.
However, they really regarded Bai Zhengqi as a brother. Although they were puzzled, they felt that this should be a good thing. At least the patriarch didn't forget him.
And there might be more stories in this, but they just didn't know it now.
What's more, Bai Zhengqi actually became the standard used by the patriarch to select his direct disciples. This was definitely a kind of trust and recognition.
"That's natural. Brother Zhengqi must have changed a lot in this year. Otherwise, why would the patriarch find him on such a critical occasion?
You have to know that to be able to become the standard used by the patriarch to select his direct disciples, not everyone can do it.
Obviously, the patriarch still values Bai Zhengqi very much. It's not like what he showed in the previous minor competition. There are obviously other secrets here! "Wen Ce said.
"You're right. And before we came here, I heard that Brother Zhengqi came to Yunshou Peak to find the patriarch. After that, he went into seclusion, so we didn't see the result of him finding the patriarch before we came here first.
Now it seems that Zhengqi must have a good result when he saw the patriarch! "Mu Heng recalled what happened before he came here a year ago and whispered.
"There is indeed this possibility, so I think the patriarch was deliberately testing him at that time. Otherwise, why would the patriarch give him such an important martial technique to cultivate?
Now it seems that our idea is indeed right. Otherwise, he would never appear here! "Wen Ce nodded and said.
"If this is the case, this is also good news. At least Brother Zhengqi won't be so depressed anymore! Look at Brother Zhengqi's state now. It seems that the knot in his heart this year has long been resolved. He seems to be quite free and unfettered! " Mu Heng looked at Bai Zhengqi's confident face. He was not as depressed as he was in the minor competition a year ago. It could be seen that Bai Zhengqi's current state was indeed very good.
"That guy is probably going to suffer!" Wen Ce looked at the person who just proposed to compete with Bai Zhengqi and said.
"Not to mention him, even if it's us, even if there's someone in the front to fight for us, we probably won't be a match for Brother Zheng Qi!" Mu Heng said helplessly.
Among the three of them, Bai Zhengqi had always been the strongest.
Although they had been cultivating here for a year, the gap between them and Bai Zhengqi was very obvious based on the cultivation speed of the cultivation method.
In the past, their strength was not as good as Bai Zhengqi's. Now that they saw that Bai Zhengqi's cultivation method was so much faster than theirs, they clearly lost confidence.
"I'm very clear about Brother Zheng Qi's strength. Even if I cultivate here for a year, I'm definitely not his match.
Therefore, if I really have to compete with him, I will choose to give up! "Wen Ce looked at Bai Zhengqi and said indifferently.
"Don't you think it's a pity to give up like this? With our friendship with Brother Zheng Qi, he might let us off in the competition!
As long as we pass this round, maybe the third round test will be very simple! "Mu Heng said.
"Do you think that's possible? Let's not talk about whether Brother Zheng Qi will do it or not. Even if he really dares to do so, do you think that with the Family Head's strength, he can't see it?
Moreover, this might not be good for Brother Zheng Qi. He might want to help us, but he will harm himself like this.
The Family Head will never allow this kind of situation to happen. Even if we really win against Brother Zheng Qi, what will he think of us in his heart?
Do you think he will let people like us become his direct disciples? "Wen Ce said.
"But it's a pity to give up like this. We can also compete with Brother Zheng Qi's real strength. We have obtained the Family Head's guidance, and our strength has also improved a lot compared to last year. Maybe we can really beat him? "Mu Heng still could not let it go.
After all, they had waited for a year for this day. In this year, he was also very serious and almost did not have a good rest.
The goal was to become the Family Head's direct disciple. It was just that he never thought that this time, the Family Head would find Bai Zhengqi to choose a direct disciple.
He and Wen Ce had already cultivated the cultivation method to the fourth level. Now that they had successfully passed the first level, it was also considered that they were one step closer to becoming the Family Head's direct disciple.
Unfortunately, the opponent this time was actually Bai Zhengqi. Although he felt that the pressure was very big, he still did not want to give up so easily.
Otherwise, this year's effort would be in vain.
"I just said that I plan to give up. I didn't ask you to give up with me. Anyway, I know that I am not Brother Zheng Qi's opponent, so I am willing to give up.
Moreover, I always feel that the relationship between him and the Family Head is not that simple. Do you think that Brother Zheng Qi really only obtained the same cultivation method as us in this year? "Wen Ce said.
"You mean that he also obtained other things from the Family Head?" Mu Heng was stunned.
"At least I think that he definitely did not just obtain that cultivation method. Think about it, when the Family Head gave this cultivation method to us, he said that this is one of the most important cultivation methods of our Cheng Family.
We were personally selected by the Family Head, so we are qualified to obtain this cultivation method.
But what about Brother Zheng Qi? At that time, the Family Head eliminated him in front of the whole family. But who would have thought that just a few days after we got this cultivation method, the Family Head actually passed this cultivation method to Brother Zheng Qi. What does this mean? "Wen Ce asked.
"This means that the Family Head is not worse than us to him. He even specially opened the back door for him!" Mu Heng's eyes suddenly flashed and said.
"Yes, so didn't I just say it? At that time in the minor competition, the Family Head clearly deliberately tested Brother Zheng Qi. In fact, the Family Head has long wanted to train him! "Wen Ce said.
"Then what good things will the Family Head give him?" Mu Heng was puzzled in his heart.
"This is hard to say. I just think that the Family Head gave us some guidance and dispel doubts. Perhaps Brother Zheng Qi also received the guidance and dispel doubts from the Family Head, but we just don't know it!" Wen Ce speculated.
"According to you, Brother Zheng Qi actually received the same treatment as us in this year, but he was not with us?" Mu Heng said.
"I think even if it is not like this, it is probably not far from the truth. Otherwise, why would the Family Head use Brother Zheng Qi as the standard for us to become direct disciples? And the Family Head now obviously understands Brother Zheng Qi's strength better, otherwise, why would he dare to use Brother Zheng Qi as the standard? "
"You reminded me that if we win Brother Zheng Qi, it is possible for us to become the Family Head's direct disciples, right?" Mu Heng's mind flashed, and he seemed to think of many things.
"Indeed, it can only be said that it is possible. Previously, the Family Head had already said that among us, it is possible that none of us will be chosen!" Wen Ce said.
"If we all lose to Brother Zheng Qi, doesn't that mean that none of us will be chosen?"
"But the Family Head also said that there is a third round of test, so even if we win Brother Zheng Qi, we may not be able to pass the third round!" Wen Ce thought and said.
"What you said is true, but I think the Family Head may already have the best candidate for direct disciple in his heart!" Mu Heng nodded and said.
"Are you talking about Brother Zheng Qi?" Wen Ce was a smart person. When Mu Heng said this, he quickly thought of Bai Zhengqi.
"That's right, just like what you said just now, this year, we thought that we received the best care from the Family Head. But we didn't know that actually, Bai Zhengqi may also have received the same treatment as us, just that we didn't know.
Why did the Family Head do this? Clearly, he values Brother Zheng Qi very much. So this time, it looks like it is a selection for us, but in fact, it is also a selection for Brother Zheng Qi.
If we win Brother Zheng Qi, he may be eliminated. But if we all lose to him, doesn't that prove that all of us are inferior to him?
Under this kind of situation, the Family Head will probably choose him as the direct disciple, and we will all be eliminated! "Mu Heng explained.
"En, this guess of yours is very bold, but it is indeed very possible. But the Family Head did not say that he will only choose one person as the direct disciple.
If we win Brother Zheng Qi, we have a chance. But if we lose, Brother Zheng Qi might not be eliminated. After all, for him to be able to become the selection standard, perhaps he has long passed the test that the Family Head gave him! "Wen Ce said.
"In that case, Brother Zheng Qi has already been selected by the Family Head to be the direct disciple?" Mu Heng's heart tightened. He did not think so much.
After all, he felt that to become the Family Head's direct disciple was absolutely not an easy matter. The Family Head should not make a decision easily.
But Bai Zhengqi becoming their selection standard was a very strange thing in itself.
It was also possible to say that he had already passed the Family Head's test a step ahead of time.
"You think about it, for Brother Zheng Qi to be able to be our selection standard, doesn't that mean that he is the threshold to become the Family Head's direct disciple? So if we want to become the Family Head's direct disciple, we must at least reach Brother Zheng Qi's standards. "
"What you said makes sense. If it's really like this, then Brother Zheng Qi will really soar to great heights this time!" After the two of them repeatedly deliberated, he felt that Wen Ce's statement was becoming more and more likely.
At the thought that Bai Zhengqi might have already become the Family Head's direct disciple, he could not help getting excited in his heart.
Although the chances of them becoming the Family Head's direct disciple were relatively slim, if their good brother could become the Family Head's direct disciple, that was also a very good thing. Perhaps he could even help them in the future.
