"Martial Uncle, why do you look so worried?" Yu Lingzi was quietly waiting in the main hall when Tian Xue and Tian Xing passed by. When they saw Yu Lingzi's worried expression, they couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Oh, it's Tian Xue and Tian Xing. Where are you two going?" Yu Lingzi saw the two of them and asked.
"Isn't the tournament about to begin? Tian Xing and I also need to prepare well. Hopefully, we will be able to obtain a good result in the Large Competition! "Tian Xue smiled.
"Tian Xue, Tian Xing, for this year's Grand Competition, the two of you will not be participating!" Yu Lingzi said after thinking for awhile.
"Martial Uncle, why is that?" The two of them asked curiously.
"They are the elites of Sky Mountain Sect. If they don't participate, won't they have to watch the other sects achieve good results?
Furthermore, if our results are too bad, then our Tianshan Sect will lose face! "Tian Xing said agitatedly.
He had been training hard for the sake of this tournament.
Now, he was confident in his own strength, and he also believed that he could get a good result in the competition. That was something that could bring glory to Tianshan Sect. Of course, he didn't want to give up just like that.
"That's right, Martial Uncle. Didn't you tell us to prepare for the competition? Why did he suddenly tell us not to participate in the Clan Competition? "Tian Xue truly couldn't understand what her Martial Uncle was trying to do.
After all, Uncle-Master's attitude was completely different from before.
"I have a feeling that this competition isn't that simple. It's because you guys are the elites of Tianshan Sect, the mainstay of our sect, that we can't let you guys participate!" Yu Lingzi said.
"But if we don't participate, Tianshan Sect might not be able to obtain a good result. Wouldn't our Tianshan Sect be laughed at by the other sects?" Tian Xue said.
"The current Tianshan Sect is no longer the Tianshan Sect of the past. No matter how much everyone fights, they are just a lower sect of the Cheng Family. What qualifications do they have to laugh at us?" Yu Lingzi said.
"Martial Uncle, just now I saw a few Sect Masters leaving. Did something happen?" When Tian Xue came over, she saw a few other Sect Masters leaving this place.
Every time these sect leaders came here, something big must have happened. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come here.
Moreover, judging from Uncle-Master's attitude before and after, there was clearly a big reason behind this.
"It's hard to say now." Yu Lingzi shook his head and said.
Judging from the Cheng Family's reaction, something must have happened to the Cheng Family. However, he wasn't sure if it had anything to do with the dynasty.
In addition, it was possible that the Cheng Family was just testing the sects.
Although the rewards for this competition were very attractive, he felt that it was better for Sky Mountain Sect not to participate in this competition based on the attitude of the sect masters towards Wang Chao and the Cheng Family.
"Right, how's the progress of your relationship with Cheng Yu?" Yu Lingzi looked at Tian Xue and suddenly asked.
"Martial Uncle, why did you suddenly ask about this?" Tian Xue's face immediately turned red. However, she was somewhat helpless.
"Martial Uncle knows that you like Cheng Yu. After so many years, if you really like him, then you should work hard to fight for your own happiness!" Yu Lingzi said.
"He already has so many wives. Even if I fight for them, what can I do? It's basically impossible for me to be with him! "Tian Xue spoke with some sorrow in her heart.
It wasn't that she didn't want to be with Cheng Yu, but it was impossible for them to be together now.
Furthermore, she also didn't wish to spoil the relationship between Cheng Yu and his wives.
All these years, Cheng Yu hadn't shown himself. However, her relationship with Cheng Yu's wives wasn't bad. In addition, her relationship with Ning Wushuang who had always stayed in the Cheng Family was also very good.
Perhaps, it was because both of their inner thoughts and situation were somewhat similar. Therefore, both of them had a common topic to talk about.
However, it was also because they were already so familiar with each other. If something were to happen between her and Cheng Yu, she really didn't know how to face the Cheng Family's wives.
"Some things, if you don't try, how would you know?" Yu Lingzi persuaded.
If Tian Xue was able to marry Cheng Yu, that would truly be great.
At the very least, the relationship between Sky Mountain Sect and Cheng Family would be closer.
Although all these years, Cheng Yu had taken care of Sky Mountain Sect because of Tian Xue, but the relationship between the two sects was still lacking.
If both sects were able to form a marriage alliance, the meaning would be different.
Even if Sky Mountain Sect was still a subordinate sect of the Cheng Family, at least compared to the other sects, Sky Mountain Sect would still have a lot more freedom.
Furthermore, with Tian Xue staying in the Cheng Family, even if the Cheng Family had any movements, their Sky Mountain Sect would be able to be the first to know about it. It wouldn't be like now, completely clueless about the current situation of the Cheng Family.
Although he had his own selfish motives towards the relationship between Tian Xue and the Cheng Family, he still treated Tian Xue as his own daughter. He was truly thinking for her sake.
After so many years, he knew that Tian Xue had always liked Cheng Yu.
If he was able to let Tian Xue be happy and at the same time, he would be able to make Sky Mountain Sect better. Why wouldn't he support her to be together with Cheng Yu?
"Martial Uncle, I will handle it myself!" Tian Xue didn't wish to talk about this topic. How could happiness be fought for so easily?
"Martial Uncle is only reminding you. As for how you will decide, that's your own business. However, Martial Uncle also knows that this matter can't be rushed. However, can you head over to the Cheng Family to take a look and inquire if anything had happened to the Cheng Family? "Yu Lingzi's words were always on point. If he were to say too much, it would instead cause her to be at a loss.
Furthermore, what Tian Xue said was right. Cheng Yu already had so many wives.
He had long heard that Cheng Yu doted on those wives of his. Furthermore, he would always listen to their every word.
If he were to force Tian Xue to date Cheng Yu now, it might infuriate those wives of Cheng Yu. If they were to listen to Cheng Yu's pillow talk, not only would Sky Mountain Sect not be able to obtain any benefits, it would also bring trouble to Sky Mountain Sect.
Therefore, he had already reminded Tian Xue. The rest would have to depend on how Tian Xue handled it.
If he were to remind her, she would be able to form a relationship with Cheng Yu. Naturally, that would be the best thing that could happen.
However, no matter how fast Tian Xue and Cheng Yu's relationship developed, it was impossible for it to succeed now.
Therefore, he still hoped that Tian Xue could head over to the Cheng Family to inquire about the situation.
After all, Tian Xue's relationship with Cheng Yu and those wives of his wasn't bad. Therefore, it was very convenient for her to head over to the Cheng Family.
In addition, with her relationship with the Cheng Family, it would be much easier for her to obtain this information. It was also much more suitable than him sending people to the Cheng Family. Perhaps, she might even be able to obtain some information from Cheng Yu that ordinary people wouldn't be able to obtain.
"Cheng Family is in trouble? What happened? When did this happen? "When she heard that the Cheng Family was in trouble, Tian Xue immediately turned anxious.
"You don't have to be anxious. It's not as serious as you think. Furthermore, the Cheng Family's strength in the Secular World is very strong. Who would be able to threaten them?
It's just that recently, I felt that the Secular World wasn't very peaceful. Therefore, I wish for you to head over to the Cheng Family to inquire about it. See if there's any movement in the Cheng Family, "Yu Lingzi explained.
"So it's like that. Martial Uncle is precisely because of this reason, so he didn't allow us to participate in the competition?" Tian Xue heaved a sigh of relief as she asked.
"That's right. You should also know about it. In the past, the Cheng Family's competition was open to the public. Anyone could participate in the competition.
However, this year's competition was no longer open to the public. They had only invited 10,000 people who had made great contributions to the Cheng Family to spectate. There must be a reason for this.
Therefore, I hope that you can help Martial Uncle inquire about it from the Cheng Family. It's best if you can ask Cheng Yu directly, "Yu Lingzi explained.
"Martial Uncle, even if it's so, it wouldn't affect our competition, right?" Tian Xing enquired.
"Why don't you go and inquire about it first?" Yu Lingzi replied.
"Martial Uncle, if we managed to inquire about it and there's nothing happening to the Cheng Family, can we continue to participate in the competition?" Tian Xue enquired.
"This … depends on the situation. However, I feel that this time, it's better for our Tianshan Sect not to treat it too seriously!" Yu Lingzi pondered before replying.
"Martial Uncle, why?" Both of them were still puzzled.
If there was something happening, it was fine if they didn't participate. But now that there was nothing happening, why didn't Martial Uncle allow them to participate?
Could it be that their Tianshan Sect really didn't need to care about other people's opinions?
Even if they were from the Cheng Family's lower sect, they were still competing with each other. How could their Tianshan Sect fall behind?
"Martial Uncle, all these years, our Tianshan Sect's performance in the competition has always been the most outstanding. Furthermore, every time the competition's first place would be rewarded handsomely. If we were to casually participate this time, wouldn't we not even be able to get third place?
When the time comes, not only would our resources be snatched away by the other sects, we would also lose our face. That would truly ruin our Tianshan Sect's prestige! "Tian Xing was somewhat unconvinced.
"Some things aren't as simple as you think. All these years, our Tianshan Sect had always maintained the top two positions. So what if we were to fail this time? Could it be that there's anything more important than Tianshan Sect's safety? "Yu Lingzi replied nonchalantly.
Tian Xue and Tian Xing didn't know that the rewards for this competition were much more generous compared to the past.
Because this news was only known to the sect masters. They had yet to announce it to the sect.
If Tian Xue and Tian Xing were to know about the rewards, they would probably be even more unwilling to let it go.
However, as the Sect Master of Tianshan Sect, he understood another logic. The bird that pokes its head out will be shot.
Regardless of whether Tian Xue was able to obtain any useful information from the Cheng Family, he felt that this competition wouldn't be that simple.
Whether the Cheng Family was cautious because of their relationship with the dynasty or because they wanted to probe the background of these lower sects, he had to be careful when dealing with them.
