The Return of the Prison Dragon: The Stunning CEO throws himself into his arms

Chapter 922 Two quotas are not enough

The next day.

Ye Qijue walked out of the room with a refreshed face and stretched.

After arriving in the yard, he first did some boxing and stretched his muscles. After all, he had done physical work all night last night.

After finishing the boxing, he took the hot water from the servants of the Zhou family, washed his face, and started eating breakfast.

Not long after, two figures came into the yard, and they were none other than brother and sister Zhou Che.

Seeing Ye Qijue lying leisurely and contentedly on the rocking chair, Zhou Che quickly came to Ye Qijue, cupped his hands and said, "Elder Ye, my father invites you to come to the hall to talk."

Ye Qijue, who was sitting on the rocking chair, slowly put down the book in his hand. He looked up at the two brothers Zhou Che and asked softly: "Is the Holy Lake Competition finally going to start?"

Zhou Che circled his head and affirmed: "Tomorrow is the time for the competition to begin."

Hearing this, Ye Qijue nodded and said, "Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, I have been staying at the Zhou family for more than a month."

After saying that, he turned over and stood up from the rocking chair, motioning for Zhou Che to lead the way.

When Ye Qijue arrived at the Zhou family hall, he saw that several people were already seated in the hall.

Sitting on the Taishi chair is Zhou Ruiming, the head of the Zhou family. He is holding a bowl of hot tea on the ground with an expressionless face.

On Zhou Ruiming's right were three or four elders from the Zhou family who were around the sixth-grade king. These people were also silent, obviously waiting for someone.

On the left, there is a middle-aged man that Ye Qijue has never seen before. This man is wearing a white lining and a blue gown. He looks like a scholar. He seems to be used to living in high positions for a long time. He exudes an aura of abyss. The breath of Yue Zhi.

Under Ye Qijue's eyes, he could see at a glance the perfect aura of the ninth-grade king.

Ye Qijue calmly looked away. Based on the aura on the other person's body, he immediately judged in his mind that this person was probably from the City Lord's Mansion.

Thinking of this, Ye Qijue strode into the living room and sat down on the chair.

After receiving a cup of hot tea from his servant, Ye Qijue turned to look at Zhou Ruiming and said lightly: "I wonder why the head of the Zhou family called me today?"

Zhou Ruiming pointed at the middle-aged man with a smile and introduced Ye Qijue: "Haha, Elder Ye, I am not looking for you today, but the city lord, Mr. Zhao, is looking for you."

After hearing Zhou Ruiming's words, Ye Qijue looked at the middle-aged man next to him.

The city lord of Wushuang City is named Zhao Jiuyou. It is said that the other party is a disciple of Taiyi Sect. Although his cultivation level is only the ninth-grade king, he is extremely powerful and has once defeated the monks of the king!

Thinking about the month since he came to Wushuang City, he had not had much interaction with the city lord's mansion. Why did Zhao Jiuyou suddenly want to see him before the Holy Lake Competition?

Ye Qijue, who was full of doubts, cupped his hands towards Zhao Jiuyou and said, "I have met the City Lord. I wonder why the City Lord is looking for me?"

Zhao Jiuyou seemed to have noticed Ye Qijue's doubts. He smiled heartily and said, "Elder Ye, don't be nervous, it's a good thing!"

"That's right. Isn't this the Holy Lake Competition about to begin?"

Zhao Jiuyou paused, then touched the beard on his chin and said: "In view of the fact that Elder Ye destroyed the three king-respecting monks of the Wang family some time ago, the Zhao and Li families in the city have expressed their willingness to donate two places so that Elder Ye does not have to participate in the war. Can be promoted directly.”

As the city lord, Zhao Jiuyou is obviously not uncommon with this kind of thing.

After all, Ye Qijue's fighting prowess shown some time ago was so strong that it made the Li family in the south of the city, the Zhao family in the north and other big families feel a little scared.

That's why this plan was devised to give Ye Qijue two places so that he would not have to participate in the war.

Except for Ye Qijue, who frowned slightly, everyone else in the hall looked calm. They had obviously known the news for a long time.

This is the first time Ye Qijue has encountered this kind of operation. If you can't beat it, you will be promoted early?

Anyway, there are fifteen places in the Holy Lake Competition. I’ll give you two, but don’t touch the rest?

After thinking about this, Ye Qijue smiled, and then said softly: "Two places are too few."

He is not alone. Lan Wufeng, the Great Elder, and several wives around him are all waiting for this Holy Lake Competition, so that they can successfully break through to the Emperor!

How can it be that just because there are two quotas, a small amount will be lost?

Seeing that Ye Qi absolutely disagreed, not only Zhao Jiuyou frowned, but also Zhou Ruiming and other Zhou family members also changed their expressions.

"Elder Ye, agree."

Zhou Ruiming said with a wry smile, "I heard that the Zhao and Li families recalled the disciples of Shenxiao Sect and Qingxu Sect for this Holy Lake Competition!"

An elder from the Zhou family next to him helped to talk: "The person who worshiped the Zhao family in Shenxiao Sect is named Zhao Lei. It is said that he was born with a thunder spirit body and has superb thunder powers. Although he only has the cultivation level of a ninth-grade king, he can fight. But he is not weak, not inferior to a first-grade Zunhuang."

The Ninth Elder Zhou Dahai, who was not far away, sighed: "As for Li Changan, the disciple of the Qingxu Sect who was worshiped by the Li family, his combat power was even more terrifying. He understood the meaning of the sword at a young age and was directly designated as an inner sect by the Qingxu Sect. disciple."

Zhou Ruiming sighed, looked at Ye Qijue and said: "I heard that Zhao Lei and Li Changan wanted to bring several clan members from their families into the sect because they were about to be promoted to elite disciples, so this competition may be difficult. Very intense."

After listening to the stories of several people, Ye Qijue understood the whole story.

The feeling is that the sect geniuses of the Zhao family and the Li family have returned to control the situation, and they want to grab all the places for the Holy Lake Competition!

It is not Ye Qijue's character to retreat when encountering difficulties.

He directly rejected Zhao Jiuyou: "No, thank you City Lord for informing me."

"I still say that two places are not enough! Let's see the real results on the competition stage!" Ye Qi will never give up for two places!

It will take 20 years to wait until the next Holy Lake Competition.

This time Lan Qingyi and the others can't break through Zunhuang, won't they have to wait for decades?

Seeing Ye Qijue's stern refusal, Zhao Jiuyou shook his head and smiled, and then he reminded: "Okay, I just hope Elder Ye won't regret it."

"The geniuses of the Zhao and Li families will probably not let you go after seeing your refusal."

Zhao Jiuyou was the one who came to deliver the message. After delivering the message, he stood up and left directly.

Looking at the city lord's leaving figure, Zhou Ruiming, who was sitting at the top, had a look of hatred in his eyes, and said: "Alas, Elder Ye, you are too arrogant."

The meaning behind Zhou Ruiming's words is to give up when things get better.

In his opinion, although Ye Qijue was very strong and had single-handedly killed three respected kings of the Wang family, the geniuses of the Zhao and Li families were not vegetarians!

They were given two promotion places but were still not satisfied. It would be very difficult to get the places from Zhao Lei and the other two in the competition.

More importantly, he wants to keep the spot that belongs to the Zhou family!

However, as a sixth-level king, he could not control Ye Qijue's will.

Ye Qijue, who heard Zhou Ruiming sigh, just shook his head and smiled without saying anything.

After drinking the hot tea in the cup, he stood up and said: "Master Zhou, since there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Without waiting for Zhou Ruiming's reply, Ye Qijue turned around and walked out of the hall.
