Chapter 384 Why Can't You Follow the Routine
Ye family.

One of the four major families in Yuanxiao City.

Controlling half of the medicinal materials, one-third of the weapons, and one-quarter of the army in this city and its surrounding area... The comprehensive strength ranks second among the four major families.

Even so, the huge Ye family only has one special recruit to enter Qingyun Mountain every three years... The Ye family still needs to donate countless resources every year.

Not only the Ye family is like this, the other three major families, even the Cui family who control a low-grade spirit stone vein, hand in countless spirit stones every year, and there is only one special recruitment quota.

In order to compete for this spot, the outstanding talents within the four major families broke their dog's brains and resorted to various means.

Like what Ye Kong encountered, he was not the most malicious.

But he almost lost his life.

Fortunately, after the system was injected into his body, the protection mode was activated immediately, preventing the injury from worsening and stimulating the heart to beat again.

……

three days later.

Ye Kongyouyou woke up, and there was a burst of weeping in his ears, as well as severe pain like ants biting bones all over his body.

"My time, if you leave, what will mother do?"

"Mother only has you as a son. If you are gone, mother will not live anymore!"

The woman beside the bed was crying heartbreakingly. She was dressed in coarse plain clothes, dressed like a servant, with calloused hands, deep groove-like wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, and white strands of hair on the temples on her forehead.

"Mother~"

Ye Kong, who was covered in gauze, yelled, and a tear flowed from the corner of his eye: "Don't cry anymore."

The woman shouted in surprise, "Kong'er, you're awake!"

"Water, baby is thirsty."

"Mom, get it right away!"

……

Another day later, Ye Kong's body recovered a little, and his condition improved a lot.

A strange voice came from my mind: "Son, are you finally awake?"

"Who? Who's talking?" Ye Kong was taken aback, twisting his neck to look around.

"Don't look for it, I'm in your mind, you can call me... grandpa."

It took a while for Zhou Ming to explain the ins and outs of the matter.

"It turned out that you saved me, grandpa, thank you, grandpa!"

Immediately, another wave of anger surged up in Ye Kong's heart, good you Ye Chen!Both are children of the Ye family and brothers of the same father, in order to cover up your ugliness, you really have to do that!
It is true that Ye Kong's status as a concubine is very low in the Ye family, but it is not so low that everyone bullies him. At least he will be assigned to a separate courtyard, a maid who will serve him personally, and will be treated better than ordinary children. Otherwise, Ye Kong would not have the opportunity to cultivate to the middle stage of Qi refining.

It's just that Mrs. Liu, the mistress, is jealous and has a heart like a snake and scorpion. She bullies and bullies her mother all the year round. She will be severely punished for the slightest mistake.

The better Ye Kong performed, the more disgusting Mrs. Liu's face was, sometimes so much that even the Patriarch couldn't stand it, but there was nothing he could do about her, because she was the noble daughter of the Liu family, one of the four major families in Yuanxiao City.

And Ye Kong's mother is just a lowly maid.

"Birth is very important, especially in such a big family, if you don't have a good background, but perform well, you will only end up being suppressed."

Zhou Ming understands this phenomenon very well. Nobles marry nobles, and the offspring they give birth to must be extremely gifted geniuses, and they will definitely shine!

But the existence of Ye Kong broke this concept and destroyed that sense of superiority. It is no wonder that some people feel better.

Zhou Ming asked Ye Kong, "Ye Kong, when will the Qingyun Mountain Recruitment Competition be held?"

"The tenth day after the appearance of the Eighth Moon Yang."

"How many days away?"

"Five days, I... have no chance." Ye Kong said sadly, he was seriously injured now, and it was impossible for him to participate in the Apprentice Competition.

"Grandpa can heal you within three days. If you catch up with the apprentice competition, are you sure you can defeat all your opponents, be favored by the elders of Qingyun Mountain, and then be accepted as a disciple?"

"Yes! I am not afraid of anyone except Ye Chen! But Ye Chen is 18 years old and I am 15 years old. He has a body of poison and I have a body of pure essence. Although I can't beat Ye Chen, the disciple elder saw After me, you will definitely choose me to start!"

Ye Kong said excitedly, he is full of confidence in himself!

"Okay! Ye Kong, grandpa will heal your injuries right now, help you recover your strength, and let Ye Chen watch your arrival in shock at the apprentice recruitment competition. In addition, grandpa has a book suitable for you." If you master the cultivation technique quickly, you may be able to break through to the late stage of Qi refining in the last two days, draw with Ye Chen, or defeat him, and make that elder look at you with admiration!"

"Afterwards, you will step into Qingyun Mountain under countless envious and jealous eyes, and become the immortal disciple that everyone dreams of. After many years, you will be a powerful practitioner with profound cultivation and invincible power!"

"No one dares to underestimate you, Ye Kong!"

"At that time, let alone a small Ye Chen, the entire Ye family, the entire Yuanxiao City, will kneel at your feet!"

"Your Ye Kong's name will shake the entire continent!"

The old man in his mind tried his best to describe the scene that Ye Kong often imagined in his dreams.

The corner of Ye Kong's mouth hung into a smile, and the pain on his body seemed to disappear, and he hurriedly urged: "Grandpa, heal my injury quickly, and then give me the exercises you mentioned!"

"but……"

The old grandfather in his mind changed his tone and asked a question: "What about your mother? After you went to Qingyun Mountain, what would you do if your mother was tortured to death by the unwilling Ye Chen and his mother?"

"They dare!"

Ye Kong's eyes bulged out, blood was quickly congested, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "If they dare to do this, I will definitely kill them!"

"Why don't they do this? You also said that Qingyun Mountain's recruiting range is from 10 to 18 years old. This time, the recruiting competition is Ye Chen's last chance. You took his chance away. You What would he do?" the old man asked.

"This……"

Although I don't want to think in that direction, the situation that the old man said is indeed very likely to happen.

"If you are willing to part with your mother, you can participate in the big competition five days later."

"No, no, there must be a way. I will ask my father to send someone to protect her, or send her to a place where no one can find her, and give her a sum of money so that she can enjoy her old age in peace."

Ye Kong tried his best to conceive a solution.

"Your father? These days when you were injured and comatose, did your father ever visit you? Can you punish Ye Chen? Can you still expect your father to take care of your mother?"

"Send your mother to a place where no one is around. First of all, whether you can take your mother away from the Ye family is a problem. Even if you leave, with the power behind the mother and son, you still can't find your mother's hiding place?"

"Unless you bring your mother to Qingyun Mountain, she will undoubtedly be killed, and she may suffer endless pain and torture before she dies, but it is extremely tragic that your son cannot rush to her side .”

"do not talk!"

Ye Kong suddenly roared, with a crying voice: "Grandpa, please stop talking!"

"My mother has suffered enough for me, even if I die, I won't let her suffer the slightest bit!"

"I won't participate in the Apprentice Competition, and I won't go to Qingyun Mountain!"

The smart Ye Kong understood what the old man said, and knew how to make a decision—because his life was brought into this world by that miserable woman.

"He is really a sincere and filial person. Grandpa found you, so he found the right person."

"Ye Kong, do you know why you are always suppressed and your mother is always bullied?"

"It's not because you performed too well, it's because you can't hide your excellence well. If you are too outstanding, you will naturally be targeted by others."

"Grandpa knows that you are still young and don't know some truths, so you work hard, you have to prove yourself to others, and you have to make your mother proud and proud of you. This is completely understandable, but you ignore your own background. ..."

"This time, you are seriously injured, but it is a very good opportunity to take your mother and leave the Ye family. Out of guilt, your father will definitely agree, and your mother will also be properly settled. "

"As for entering the sect, there are not only Qingyun Mountain's sects in this world, so why focus on this one? Didn't you yourself say that there is Guanglei Mountain thousands of miles to the east? This sect is not only more powerful than Qingyun Shanda, the standard for accepting apprentices seems to be even lower, why don't you go to Guanglei Mountain and have a try?"

"Ye Kong, you are still young, with excellent talent, and with the skills given to you by the old man, why can't you enter Guanglei Mountain?"

"Remember one sentence: There are never more than one opportunity. There are those who wait for the opportunity to come to you, and some who actively seek it. How to choose depends on how you grasp it yourself?"

After listening to the old man's words in his mind, Ye Kong only felt that his eyes suddenly became clear, and nodded heavily: "Grandpa, I know what to do!"
