The Shangguan Yaohua frowned and said, "The fall of the Seven Evil Spirits? Why, aren't you all allies? Glory is glory, loss is loss. Why are you cursing him? "
Manor Head Ping laughed and said, "That young and inexperienced kid thinks his martial arts are strong enough to rule the world. I don't care about him. The current cooperation is only to squeeze out all of his value. What's left is an empty skin for us to deal with. We'll give him some face and let him live a glorious life. Even if he dies in the hands of the four great clans, he'll still die a glorious death! I've never been afraid of him. If worse comes to worst, we'll have a falling out. Therefore, we don't need to be so formal with him. "
The Shangguan Yaohua's heart was in a mess. He knew that with these few words, he had made it clear that he did not have any special privileges in the Ping Family Manor. Furthermore, he did not need to boast about his honorable status and dare to interfere in the manor's affairs.
A few sounds of gongs and drums were heard as the four corners of the square released cannon fire. The cannon fire soared into the sky, leaving behind a trail of smoke. Just as Ping Ruoyu's fingers were about to touch the surface of the tile, she suddenly heard a shout, "Wait!" A small object flew toward the back of her hand. Judging from the wind and the sound, it was fast and dangerous.
Ping Ruoyu did not dare to meet it head on and immediately retracted her hand and jumped away. A hole was blasted open in the ground, and an object rolled out from the hole with its remaining momentum. Ping Ruoyu looked carefully and saw that it was only a small stone the size of a fingernail. This person had lost a lot of face. But to be able to use such strength to turn an ordinary object into a weapon, the person in the dark was not to be underestimated.
Those who were far away could not see clearly and thought that it was a firearm attack. Nowadays, the people who used firearms the most, other than the Thunderclap Hall, were the Manchurian Imperial Court. For a moment, everyone looked around and made a lot of noise. They thought that an enemy had arrived.
The Shangguan Yaohua heaved a sigh of relief. No matter who it was, as long as they could successfully disrupt the ceremony, they would be his benefactor. As for what they would do after that, it was not his concern. It was obvious that Manor Head Ping did not know what was going on. As soon as the incident occurred, he immediately pressed his finger on Chu Li's pulse. Just in case the enemy was from the Seven Evil Spirits or the Imperial Court, they could immediately capture him as a hostage.
The Shangguan Yaohua was not highly skilled in martial arts, so he did not feel much of a hindrance. He sneered inwardly, "I'm nothing, and you still want to use me as a bargaining chip. This is the biggest mistake."
As soon as the stone was thrown, Ping Ruoyu raised his hand and placed it on the handle of his fan. He looked all around, checking every nook and cranny, trying to find any trace of the enemy. Suddenly, his vision blurred, and a white-robed figure appeared in front of him in a flash. Elegant, cultured and refined, he smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, younger cousin." It was the Yuan family's young master, Yuan Yi, who had not been seen for a long time. She especially emphasized the word 'cousin'.
Ping Ruoyu bit her lip and pretended to be casual. She took out a folding fan from her bosom and tapped the fan handle against her palm. "Yo, I was wondering who it was. So it's the Yuan family's elder cousin. I knew it, other than your elder cousin Yi, who else has such tyrannical internal energy to be able to force me to retreat with a mere stone? "
Yuan Yi smiled faintly and said, "You flatter me. I haven't practiced martial arts for many years, and I don't know how rusty I am. " Ping Ruoyu was so angry that her face turned white. According to his words, even if her martial arts were rusty, it would be more than enough to deal with her.
Yuan Yi silently turned to the crowd and said, "The position of Alliance Leader is related to the rise and fall of the entire martial arts world. You can't be so vague, right? This is not the inheritance of the throne, which can be decided by a decree from the previous Emperor. Since Alliance Leader Li insisted on resigning and handing over the token, shouldn't another election be held? Just like seven or eight years ago, when the Central Plains' Sword Discourse Forest held a heroes' assembly, where the winner would be the new Alliance Leader of the martial arts world. "
Immediately, someone questioned, "To become the Alliance Leader of the martial arts world, the key is whether or not he has the heart to bear the weight of heaven and earth and the spirit to tolerate all things. Whether or not he has the ability and ambition to take back the sovereignty of the world, it's not just about having the highest martial arts. Otherwise … Hmph, speaking of the Seven Demons, his martial arts are already very high. How can we let him be our Alliance Leader? "
There were also many people who recognized Yuan Yi. A year ago, they had seen him in the limelight and had always admired him. They said, "Why, Young Hero Yuan, are you suddenly so enthusiastic to stop us? Could it be that you also have the intention to become the Alliance Leader? Why don't you have a competition with Young Master Ping? "The crowd was the most lively and cheered loudly, completely forgetting their crime of disrupting the ceremony. Manor Head Ping's face was stiff, and his expression was even uglier.
Yuan Yi said, "Brother, you must be joking. I don't have any great ambitions, and have always been an idle cloud and a wild crane. How would I dare to talk about important matters? It's just that when electing the Alliance Leader, we must be very careful. Even if we are as close as family members, we must not be biased. " Someone below the stage said, "Alliance Leader Li is wise and mighty. Since he has chosen someone, we naturally trust him. There's no need to do something superfluous!" Ping Ruoyu glanced at Yuan Yi, a cold smile on his face, and a trace of complacency could be seen.
Yuan Yi saw that the crowd didn't take him seriously, so he had no choice but to find an excuse. He said, "According to convention, when a new Alliance Leader takes office, the previous Alliance Leader should personally hand over the command tablet to him. This represents his affirmation of the new Alliance Leader, and at the same time, it's also a sign of respect for the previous Alliance Leader. This Wulin rule, which has been firmly adhered to for many years, can't be broken? Eh, why is Brother Li so sleepy? He doesn't give you any face? Let me wake him up. "As he said this, he took a step forward, and reached out to push Li Yijie.
Ping Ruoyu panicked. His figure flashed, and he appeared in front of him. Suppressing his anger, he said, "Cousin Yi, don't blindly meddle in this. Alliance Leader Li is about to marry my younger sister. He's been exhausted for the past few days, but he's still willing to show up. He's already giving Little Brother enough face. Since he wants to rest, let's not disturb him. This is only a ceremony. The most important thing is the result, not the formality. As long as we can win the hearts of the people and gain their approval, it doesn't matter if he personally hands over the command tablet to me, or if I take it myself. "
Yuan Yi said, "You can't say it like that. Alliance Leader Li just acknowledged you, which means he's still conscious. We won't disturb him for long. As long as we can give him an explanation, we'll have the best of both worlds. Why not? "As he said this, he walked around Ping Ruoyu and lightly pushed Li Yijie's shoulder.
Below the stage, an old man with a grizzled beard suddenly shouted, "Hey! That brat, he's so meddlesome! You're not even a member of our Wulin world. How can the Alliance Leader be appointed? Why are you meddling in other people's business? Hurry up and get off the stage. Don't delay the inauguration of the new Alliance Leader! "
With a faint smile, Yuan Yi turned around and said, "Third Uncle Ping, please forgive your nephew's foolishness. Our Four Great Clans have been isolated from the world for many years. I wonder when you joined Wulin Union? Which sect or sect are you the Sect Leader of? Why don't you sit at the main table? Why do you want to sit below the stage and squeeze with the others? This is an arbitrary meeting. Of course, you're the most qualified to mention it! "After being provoked by his words, the old man was immediately speechless. His face alternated between green and white.
Everyone's gaze immediately focused on him. Just now, everyone was either praising Li Yijie or praising Ping Ruoyu. All of them had been inspired by this old man. Looking at his aged face, although his face was unfamiliar, they thought that he was a senior expert who had not left the mountain for a long time. Nobody dared to question him. Now that they heard that the person who was helping Ping Ruoyu was actually from the Ping Clan, they really did not know what was going on.
Yuan Yi smiled faintly. Taking advantage of the fact that the crowd had not yet regained their senses, he increased his strength and pushed Li Yijie's shoulder. Concentrating his strength on his finger, he secretly transmitted a wave of zhenqi over. He called out, "Brother Li, if other people want to use your name to commit outrages, I'm sure you won't tolerate it, right? Your descendant seems to have met with some trouble. If you don't say a few words, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resolve. "
As soon as he sent out his palm, Li Yijie immediately lost his balance and fell on his back. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, his eyes were tightly shut. This situation showed that he had lost consciousness for a long time. An unconscious person was unexpectedly able to open his mouth and speak in a methodical manner. What was so strange about that?
The crowd had not yet recovered from the shock of seeing the Ping Clan's Third Master conceal his identity. Then they saw Li Yijie's limbs stiffen and he fell limp to the ground. This time they were even more shocked. Comparing the two, it was obvious what the Ping Clan was trying to do.
Ping Ruoyu was ashamed and angry. She stamped her feet and said, "Yi Biao Ge, why do you have to make things difficult for me?"
Yuan Yi's expression was indifferent. He said, "This is nothing. The most surprising part is that I'll open your eyes. "Finished speaking, he sent out his palm. Ping Ruoyu was so close to him that she was momentarily unable to resist. She hastily somersaulted backwards and shouted, "Biao Ge, what are you trying to do?" Yuan Yi did not reply. He sent out both of his palms and circled around her. Ping Ruoyu was caught unprepared from the beginning. She hastily fought back and was in dire straits.
Yuan Yi sent out a palm strike toward her right chest. Ping Ruoyu nimbly spun around and leaned her upper body backward. Yuan Yi took advantage of the situation and pointed his finger. A burst of palm energy shot out and pierced through her short hair band. Her head of fine black hair cascaded down, cascading all the way down. The crowd looked at each other in shock. This scene was indeed beyond their expectations.
After a while, someone said, "I didn't expect that Ping Gongzi to be a woman! Ay, how can the position of Wulin's Alliance Leader be held by a woman? It's such a mess. It's simply nonsense! "Yuan Yi laughed and said," Everyone's face changes very quickly. I wonder who was it that said that they supported Ping Gongzi, who was recommended by Alliance Leader Li … "
Ping Ruoyu's Third Master had been exposed, so he had nothing to fear. He loudly said, "All of you, shut up! My Yu 'er is willing to accept the position of Alliance Leader and help you clean up this mess. That's already not letting you down. Why are you still being so picky? Even if she doesn't do a good job, she's not inferior to that Li Yijie of yours! So what if she's a woman? Who said that since ancient times, women are definitely inferior to men? "
Yuan Yi laughed and said, "Third Uncle Ping, you're so tall, but you're actually afraid of your wife? This is the first time I've heard of this. "As soon as he said this, the crowd roared with laughter.
Ping Ruoyu was extremely angry. Her face was ashen and her eyes looked like they were about to spit fire. She gritted her teeth and said, "Cousin Yi, it looks like you're here to make trouble for me today, aren't you? How come I don't remember doing anything wrong to you? You're also the first person who doesn't care about anything. Since when have you been so enthusiastic? "
Yuan Yi said, "That's right, Little Sister. We grew up together and have always had a good relationship. It's just that Alliance Leader Li is also my friend. I can turn a blind eye to other people's actions, but I can't let you do such an unjust thing to him. "
Ping Ruoyu sneered and said, "Oh? What's wrong with letting him abdicate early so that he can enjoy his life? Do you have to let him be killed by the Seven Malevolent Demons for you to feel at ease? I really don't know how you're such a good brother. If he's your friend, am I not your cousin? "
