Fang Yun was deep in thought by the window when he heard a familiar voice from the street outside.
Fang Yun turned his head and saw Lei Yuanting walking out of Ling Yun Tower. He shouted at a row of private soldiers, "Stand up straight! Ninth Brother is coming, so stay alert! Ninth Brother is not in a good mood today. If you anger him, be careful of your heads! "
Lei Yuanting took out his official seal and quickly kept it. He said, "Ninth Brother has entered the city. Go and welcome him!"
Then, Lei Yuanting got into the carriage and the private soldiers trotted behind the carriage. Their neat footsteps attracted a lot of attention.
Fang Yun was curious. Lei Yuanting was one of the best among the collateral relatives of the Lei family. A relative that he treated so seriously was most likely someone from the main Lei family.
Fang Yun was not sure which Ninth Brother of the Lei family it was, but he was sure that Lei Yuanting had booked the Sky Room in Ling Yun Tower next door.
"The main Lei family came to Jingguo for something big. Ninth Brother? There are many people in the main Lei family who are ranked ninth, but when it comes to the ninth in the Lei family, everyone will think of that Lei Jiu. "
Fang Yun could not help but think of a habit of the Lei family.
The Dragon Platform was an ancient place that belonged to the Dragons. It opened every year, but it was not suitable to enter every year. Sometimes, it could be entered for a few years, and sometimes, it could not be entered for three to five years. The Lei family had figured out the rules of the Dragon Platform and specially trained the Lei family's disciples to enter the Dragon Platform.
The Lei family would select thousands of outstanding disciples from each generation and train them together. Then, they would filter and eliminate them. In the end, they would choose a hundred people and change their names from Lei Yi to Lei Bai. They would undergo hellish training.
In the end, ten of them would be chosen to enter the Dragon Platform. Only those who left the Dragon Platform or gave up on entering the Dragon Platform would get their original names. Otherwise, they would be called by numbers.
The next time the Dragon Platform opened, the person who would enter had already been decided. It happened to be Lei Jiu.
Lei Jiu was one of the rare geniuses in the Lei family. In order to ascend the Dragon Platform, he had remained at the Jinshi level. This was because the Dragon Ascension Platform was a place where young dragons were born in ancient times. Excessively powerful forces were forbidden from entering. Originally, only Saint Path forces were forbidden. However, after the ancient times, the Dragon Platform underwent a drastic change. As a result, not only were the Saints unable to enter, even Han Lin, Demon Marquis, and even more powerful beings were unable to enter.
Others might not know about the changes in the Dragon Ascension Platform, but Fang Yun, who had obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Demon, knew very well.
At the beginning of the Primordial Era, the Ancestral Dragon was the greatest and controlled the myriad of worlds. Middle Ancient Past. The Ancestral Dragon disappeared, and the world changed.
In the later stages of the Ancient Era, the Dragons declined and the Ancient Monsters rose. The two races launched an earth-shattering war and shattered the Dragon World. The Dragon Ascension Stage also became an independent ancient land.
After that, the Ancient Demon Clan was replaced by the Demon Barbarians, and the Ancient Era came to an end. Entering the ancient times, after the appearance of humans, a new era was formed.
As for the most distant Primordial Era, it had already become an era that no living being in the Myriad Worlds could touch. Currently, the only known lifeform that had experienced the Primordial Age was the ancestor of Dragons, the Ancestral Dragon.
The Dragon Ascension Platform was not the closest ancient land to the Ancestral Dragon, nor was it the most precious place. However, compared to other Dragons' ancient lands, it was the safest place. Therefore, every race wanted to obtain the secrets of the Primordial Age and the Primordial Age.
The only way for every race to enter the Dragon Ascension Platform was through the Dragon Ascension Stone.
Fang Yun smiled helplessly. The Lei family's Dragon Ascension Stone should have belonged to Lei Jiu. However, it had lost to him in the end.
The Lei family's Dragon Ascension Stone was fundamentally different from ordinary Dragon Ascension Stones. The biggest difference was that there was a True Dragon's aura on it. It was unimaginably useful in the Dragon Ascension Platform.
There were even great scholars who said that in less than a hundred years, the Lei family would have a Half-saint. After the Lei family had a Half-saint, relying on the power of the Dragons, the number of Half-saints in the Lei family would increase explosively. In the end, they might become the family with the most Half-saint in the human race.
"This time, the Lei family's Dragon Ascension Stone belongs to me. It's a small loss for the Lei family, but for Lei Jiu, it's equivalent to cutting off his hopes of becoming a Saint. This hatred is irreconcilable. No wonder he came here personally."
Fang Yun realized how dangerous Lei Jiu was. He closed his eyes and slowly recalled Lei Jiu's deeds.
Not long after, the door was pushed open. Fang Yun opened his eyes and saw Qiao Juze standing outside with a few people.
Fang Yun immediately stood up. Qiao Juze brought eight people in one after another.
Fang Yun glanced at the nine scholars. Two of them had flickering eyes. Fang Yun recognized them. One was from the Kang Society, and the other was from the Liu Feng Society. However, their expressions only changed slightly. There was no hatred or enmity.
Qiao Juze said helplessly, "I thought there would be no one in the afternoon, so I booked late. As a result, the Heaven Room was booked in advance. However, the Earth Room is similar. I hope you don't mind. "
"I even slept in the inn's woodshed. There's no need to mind such a small matter. Business is more important. "Ke Yuan said.
Qiao Juze nodded and said, "Brother Fang, you're familiar with the rest. Let me introduce you to this young genius, Cui Wang."
Fang Yun looked at Cui Wang. He was tall and thin with a young face. He smiled shyly and cupped his hands. "Cui Wang greets Brother Fang. Brother Qiao is flattering me. I can't call myself a genius in front of Fang Zhenguo. Otherwise, I'll be asking for humiliation."
"Brother Cui is too polite. Brother Cui is the young genius." Fang Yun cupped his hands and returned the greeting.
"Stop flattering each other. Hurry and take a seat. I won't be drinking today. I've already ordered some food downstairs. After eating, we'll have a discussion, "Qiao Juze said.
As soon as everyone sat down, some cold dishes were served, followed by hot dishes. Everyone had been hungry for a long time, so they began to eat.
After eating, before they could talk about the Ten Nations Grand Tournament in detail, they suddenly heard a thunderous voice from downstairs. "I hope that everyone from Ling Yun Tower will give me some face. We've been receiving some distinguished guests in Yuan Ting recently. Our guests prefer peace and quiet, so please leave. I'll pay for the food and drinks on your behalf, and the restaurant will refund you double the amount of money."
Fang Yun scanned the people in the room. More than half of them smiled without saying anything, and a few of them even sneered.
Qiao Juze closed the window and looked at Ke Yuan from the Kang Society and Yan Zewei from the Liu Fengshe. He said, "Everyone, don't forget that this is Jingguo. The academy is three streets away."
Since the two of them didn't say anything, the rest didn't retort either.
Not long after, the restaurant manager knocked on the door and entered. After just one step, Qiao Juze said slowly, "Manager Jiang, you may leave. This has nothing to do with you. Don't get yourself into trouble."
Manager Jiang froze and looked at everyone's faces. His hands trembled and he said with a bitter face, "Hello everyone. I'm just here to ask if you need anything. Since you don't need anything, I'll take my leave."
Suddenly, a clear sound of a sword rang, and the piercing sound of the sword filled the entire Ling Yun Tower.
Fang Yun only felt a ringing sound in his ears, and then strands of cold air surged around him. The hot tea was freezing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the soft steamed bun was also slowly hardening.
"Frost Serpent Sword? As expected of the wealthy Lei family. "Fang Yundao said.
"Hmph!" Qiao Juze humphed coldly. A gentle sound of the sword appeared in the room, dispersing the sound of the Frost Serpent Sword.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Brother Qiao seems to be very valued by the Chen family. The item you used to nurture your sword is probably a complete dragon's bone."
Qiao Juze shook his head and said, "No, even the Grand Scholars of the Chen family may not have a complete dragon's bone, let alone me. The dragon's bone that I used to nurture my sword is missing the head, and that's enough for me. "
Fang Yun was about to speak when the window suddenly shook violently, and a large amount of white frost appeared in the cracks of the window. It quickly spread in all directions, and the whole room would be frozen in at most a hundred breaths.
"Let me give my brother-in-law a hand!" The Grand Scholar Chen Liyue gently opened his mouth, and a shapeless sound of the sword burst forth, slowing down the speed of the white frost.
The white frost continued to spread.
Fang Yun was already certain in his heart. The person who came must be Lei Jiu. Other than Lei Jiu, the sword sound of the ninth generation of the Lei family would definitely not be able to suppress the two people from the Chen family, even if one of them was the son-in-law of the Chen family. One of them was from a side branch.
"The person from the Lei family is not simple, I'm afraid his sword sound has already reached two chimes." Gong Yangyu said, and another sound of the sword appeared.
Fang Yun was automatically calculating in his heart. Although there was no detailed measurement of the speed of sound in the Saint Origin World, there was a vague unit of "chime". One chime was the speed of sound, and two chimes was twice the speed of sound. The higher the number of chimes of the sword sound, the higher the realm, and the stronger the battle of words.
Qiao Juze, Chen Liyue, and Gong Yangyu worked together to suppress the sound of the sword. The white frost on the wall quickly retreated.
Suddenly, someone from downstairs said loudly, "I didn't expect Jingguo to send three Grand Scholars to welcome me when I just arrived in the capital. Lei Jiu is flattered."
When the two words "Lei Jiu" came out, other than Fang Yun, everyone's expression changed. Even Qiao Juze could not hold it in.
Qiao Juze snorted and said, "Brother Lei, you're so ostentatious. In the past, when the Grand Scholar came to Ling Yun Tower, he didn't even clear a single table. You're just a Grand Scholar and you dare to drive everyone away? Aren't you being too arrogant?"
Lei Yuanting continued, "My Ninth Brother came all the way to Jingguo. What's the big deal about clearing out a restaurant? Don't you Jingguo have the most basic hospitality? "
"Do you expect us to sweep the streets when we're here?"
"Oh? Are you saying that Jingguo treats the people of Jia Country like barbarians? "Lei Yuanting shouted.
"It's your Lei family who treats the students of Jingguo like barbarians!" Qiao Juze said loudly.
"You …"
Lei Jiu suddenly interrupted Lei Yuanting and said, "If you can fight, don't waste your breath. Let's go, I want to meet the talents of Jingguo. "
Then, Lei Yuanting whispered the names of Qiao Juze and the other two people.
Lei Jiu said as he walked, "I didn't expect to be welcomed by the three of you. I'm overjoyed. I heard that Brother Qiao is a scholar, Brother Chen is a musician, and Brother Gong Yang is a poet. I'll talk about music, literature, and poetry with the three of you. I can hear the breathing of seven people in the room. Since you're welcoming me, let's do it together. "
Everyone then understood that Lei Jiu wanted to use the Literary Name of Jingguo's Top Scholar as a sacrifice.
Everyone in the Earth Room fell silent.
The other nine people all looked at Fang Yun with strange expressions. Some of them even looked like they were about to burst out laughing, but in the end, they held back.
Lei Yuanting, who was downstairs, laughed and said, "Why, you don't dare to say anything? I'll make the decision for Ninth Brother. If you come out before we knock, admit your mistakes and leave Ling Yun Tower, I'll let this go. Otherwise, hehe … "
The ten of them continued to remain silent. Cui Wang looked at Fang Yun and smiled. He said softly, "Aren't we being too bad if we don't say anything?"
"You're quite bad, but you have to continue being bad. Come, have some tea. "Qiao Juze raised his cup of cold tea.
The ten of them raised their cups and drank the tea.
