Chapter 58 Lottery
"Oh?"

Chen Tong turned his head to look, and said with a serious face: "Baishan, it's not a child's play to choose a candidate for the competition."

"The junior is sure!"

Chen Baishan gritted his teeth and spoke with certainty.

This time I really lost my face.

But compared to maintaining the status of the direct line, the gossip of others is nothing!
After thinking about it, Chen Baishan immediately felt relieved.

What's more, Chen Ping also gave him some sweets, Chen Baishan was touched in his heart.

During this period of time, he grounded Chen Hongjie to prevent the news from leaking out. Fortunately, Dabi caught the other two lines by surprise that day.

"Then Ping'er, you go on stage!"

Chen Tong spoke kindly.

"Yes!"

Chen Ping clasped his fists, no longer concealed his breath, lightly tapped his toes on the spot, and flew onto the field.

"You've reached the eighth level of Qi training, Ping'er, you've made great progress, and the future is promising!"

Chen Tong said comfortingly.

"Patriarch Xie's praise is all thanks to the cultivation of the family and the patriarch."

Chen Ping said modestly.

"This kid is very sensible, but his temperament has changed a lot compared to the previous years."

Chen Tong couldn't help scrutinizing the competition a little more, and thought to himself calmly: "It's a pity, the result of the big competition has long been clear."

Chen An and his wife's funeral was arranged by him himself.

After all, they died fighting for their family, and Chen Tong also increased their pension by a few percent.

After that, he didn't continue to take care of Chen Ping.

He has so many things to do every day, how can he have the spare time and energy to cultivate an ordinary junior with middle-grade spiritual roots.

"Too hateful!"

Chen Hongjie clenched his fists so hard that his mouth turned purple.

It should be him standing on the battle platform in the square!
He should be praised by the patriarch!
All eyes are on him, and it should be him that the clansmen pay attention to!
Now all of this has been snatched away by his cousin Chen Ping!

"Hongjie, are you still not convinced?"

Chen Baishan was very angry, and said coldly: "You have seen Ping'er's strength."

"My generation of monks should realize our shame and be brave instead of complaining about jealousy here!"

"Father, do you really regard your cousin as a life-saving straw? Let's talk about it after he wins the big competition, so as to save time for rejoicing."

Chen Hongjie replied annoyedly, then closed his eyes.

"you!"

Seeing his son's rude words, Chen Baishan still wanted to teach him, but considering that the competition was about to start, he could only temporarily suppress his anger.

Chen Ping walked past Chen Xun, and heard his whisper: "You are really unexpected! Hehe, please pray that I won't be caught later, otherwise I will beat you until you kneel down and beg for mercy."

"Livestock can't bark wildly, poor people don't know it!"

Chen Ping moved his lips with a mocking smile.

"It's all about the power of your tongue, compared to the arena, I want to see how you use your tricks!"

Chen Xun suppressed his anger, his eyebrows sticking together.

He and Chen Ping had a deep grudge.

A few years ago, when he was competing for the post of guard in Lantian Town, he was better than Chen Ping, so he had an advantage.

But Chen Ping was insidious and cunning, and actually set a trick to trick him into getting in.

At that time, he took over the task of the family and was ordered to purchase a batch of red moon flowers.

Red Moon Flower, one of the auxiliary materials for refining Bigu Pill, is worth thirteen spirit stones in the market.

Because of the popularity of Bigu Pill, Red Moon Flower is actually not very easy to buy.

Especially in large quantities.

However, a non-local monk who claimed to be in charge of the Great Chamber of Commerce came to the door and was willing to sell him 150 plants at a low price of ten spirit stones.

The only request is that he can match up and hope to do long-term business with the local overlord, the Chen family.

Chen Xun pondered over and over again, but in the end he couldn't bear the evil spirit in his heart, and reported the unit price of thirteen spirit stones to the family, while he greedily took the difference in the middle.

Unexpectedly, the so-called manager of the chamber of commerce was actually invited by Chen Ping to act.

The next day, Chen Ping exposed him.

With all the witnesses and material evidence gathered, Chen Xun had no choice but to confess.

Although the family suffered little loss, it also aroused the displeasure of the higher-ups, and Chen Xun lost his qualification for competition.

Chen Ping, who set him up, not only had nothing to do, but also entered Lantian Town as he wished.

Chen Xun didn't believe that the elders of the family were all dim-sighted and couldn't see through the weirdness.

But he did make a mistake first and embezzled the family's public property.

As a result, he had no choice but to eat Coptis chinensis dumb, and sent out the guard position.

"My predecessor is not easy to be with."

Chen Ping pondered.

But if it were him now, maybe he would be even more unscrupulous.

Hitting a snake without killing it is a three-point crime.

Chen Xun is obviously a poisonous snake that must be vengeful.

"How can there be such deep hatred between the same clan?"

Seeing that the two men were on the verge of fighting, and there was a disagreement between them, Chen Tong snorted coldly, sent two voice transmissions respectively, and reprimanded them.

Chen Xun was shocked, and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Chen Pingze clasped his hands together, and inadvertently glanced at Chen Dieyu next to him.

This year's competition is very much in line with his wishes.

Being able to teach two little guys who don't know each other at once is really something worth clapping and laughing at.

"Humph!"

Chen Tong didn't bother to delve into the grievances between the juniors.

Anyway, with him, a master in the mid-stage of foundation building, watching by his side, I don't believe that a few qi-training juniors can do anything wrong!

"The Continuation Competition of Direct Lineage Qualifications is officially open!"

"Participants Chen Ping, Chen Dieyu, and Chen Xun."

"There will be a bye in the first round."

Chen Tong looked at Chen Yiru and said kindly: "Yiru, you are here to organize the lottery."

"it is good!"

Chen Yiru responded, danced the fairy skirt, and spread out three snow-like jade slips.

"Among the three jade slips, two of them are engraved with the incense burner pattern, while the other is blank."

"It's very simple. Two people with patterns are drawn, and they will compete in the first round."

"If you draw a blank, you have a bye. Go directly to the next round and wait for the winner of the first round!"

Chen Yiru's cherry lips parted slightly: "You each choose one."

"The middle one is empty."

There was a sudden movement in Chen Ping's ear, and Chen Yiru's voice floated faintly.

"Ok?"

Chen Tong seemed to feel the fluctuation of the surrounding spiritual consciousness, and immediately understood the inside story, feeling annoyed, secretly said: "Yiru, Yiru, you have been promoted to an elder, why are you still as self-willed as before!"

Then she shook her head calmly, not revealing her small movements.

Anyway, the ending is the same, why bother to fall out with the clansmen of the same level.

Chen Yiru was expressionless, but his heart was relaxed.

If the stern and selfless Great Elder was around, she certainly wouldn't dare to play tricks.

But Chen Tong is a smooth person who judges the situation.

He shouldn't be serious with her because of such a trivial matter.

"Chen Ping, you choose first!"

Chen Yi said in a dignified way.

"As ordered."

Chen Ping was slightly taken aback, and reached out to the jade slip closest to him.

"There is a picture of a censer inside!"

Chen Ping reported the results in a leisurely manner, without any panic on his face.

"You stupid brat! You want to piss off me to death!"

Chen Yiru glared at him fiercely, her cheeks covered with frost.

Because of her temperament, she almost couldn't hold back the curses.

"Hey, what's going on, didn't Yiru just tell Chen Ping the whole story through sound transmission?"

Chen Tong looked at the two suspiciously, at a loss.

"Dieyu, you smoke next."

Chen Yiru said indifferently.

"Yes!"

Chen Dieyu responded obediently, and chose the jade slip that was originally in the middle.

Chen Dieyu took a deep look at it, and replied truthfully: "I report to the elder, it is empty."

"In the first round, Chen Xun vs. Chen Ping!"

Chen Tong immediately announced.

There are only three jade slips in total, and there is no need to draw the last one.
