After hearing the words of the Great Elder, Zheng Shuowen was startled, then smiled bitterly, and then said as if he had made up his mind:

"Great Elder, I know you already know everything. Let's get straight to the point. I'll tell you whatever you want to ask. You know my personality won't speak like that."

Looking at Zheng Shuowen's appearance, the Great Elder sighed and said, "You are still the same as before."

"Although it seems that you have become less talkative today, in fact you still don't like this way of communication."

"Great Elder, you know me." After saying the previous words, Zheng Shuowen seemed to have really let go and said calmly, "It has already happened. I know that doing this is unworthy of the Great Elder."

"Whether the Great Elder thinks I am possessed or that I acted on impulse, I will accept any punishment."

"I just hope that the Great Elder can give the Zheng family a way out."

After saying that, Zheng Shuowen stood up and knelt down in front of the great elder.

Looking at Zheng Shuowen kneeling in front of him, the Great Elder sighed again, bent down and helped Zheng Shuowen up.

"You go back first!"

Zheng Shuowen looked at the Great Elder with a puzzled look on his face, not understanding what the Great Elder meant by this sentence.

The elder said: "Things are not as bad as you think. I know that the Zheng family must have some leverage in the hands of the Li family."

"Go back now and take care of the matter. No matter what evidence the Li family has against you, you can tell the outside world that I told you to do this."

"Great Elder!" After hearing the words of the Great Elder, Zheng Shuowen's face was full of surprise, followed by a face full of guilt.

The Great Elder waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. It won't be that bad for you."

"Others may not know who you are, but I don't know. If you don't have something to hide, you wouldn't be like this."

"I won't ask about this matter. Just go back and deal with it yourself."

"If you need my help, tell me."

Zheng Shuowen looked at the elder excitedly: "Elder, you..."

As he spoke, Zheng Shuowen's eyes turned red.

The elder pretended to be angry and said, "You are the head of the Zheng family, one of the eight great families in the imperial capital. How can you behave like this?"

"I know I was wrong, Great Elder." Zheng Shuowen knelt on the ground again and said.

The Great Elder frowned and said, "What are you doing? Do you really want me to deal with the Zheng family?"

"Great Elder, I will take care of the Zheng family's affairs when I return." Zheng Shuowen said hurriedly.

The elder thought for a moment and said, "Are there any difficulties?"

"No!" Zheng Shuowen said, "But I still want to ask the Great Elder for a favor!"

"You say!" said the great elder.

Zheng Shuowen looked at the elder seriously and said, "If anything happens to me, I hope the elder can take care of the Zheng family. I have already chosen the candidate for the head of the family."

"Is the situation so serious? Do the people of the Li family really dare to attack you?" Hearing this, the elder said angrily, "Do they think that no one in Dragon Country can control them?"

Zheng Shuowen shook his head and said, "Great Elder, the Li family is no longer the same Li family as before. Please pay more attention to them in the future."

"This matter involves the Zheng family's scandal, so I won't say more!"

After saying that, Zheng Shuowen walked straight out the door.

"Great Elder, I will give you an explanation even if I die. I am definitely not a loyal or unfilial person in the Zheng family. I cannot let the Zheng family be humiliated because of me."

Looking at Zheng Shuowen's appearance, the Great Elder frowned. What kind of leverage does the Li family have over Zheng Shuowen that would make Zheng Shuowen act like this?

Then the Great Elder shouted to the outside of the door: "Where are the Golden Dragon Guards?"

"I'm here!" A young man in yellow walked into the room.

The Great Elder said: "Find two experts from the Golden Dragon Guards and have them follow Zheng Shuowen secretly, but don't let him or the people around him find out. Be sure to protect Zheng Shuowen's safety!"

"Great Elder? Why?" asked the young man in yellow puzzledly.

The Great Elder sighed and said, "Just do as I say. He has his reasons!"

"Yes, Great Elder, I'll do it right away!" The young man in yellow saluted and turned to leave the room.

The first elder returned to his desk, thought for a while and decided to call the fifth elder.

"That's what happened. You should pay more attention to Zheng Shuowen when you are at the scene. If someone from the Li family attacks him, do your best to protect him. Ye Feng and Bai Zhenshan can also take action if necessary!"

"I understand!" The fifth elder nodded.

After hanging up the phone, the Fifth Elder frowned and thought to himself, "What's going on with Zheng Shuowen? Is there anything that you can't tell Big Brother?"

"Personal reputation? Personal reputation? What on earth is that?"

Then the Fifth Elder looked towards the martial arts stage, and seeing that the Fifth Elder did not speak, Bai Zhenshan and Ye Zhen did not ask any more questions.

On the martial arts stage, Ye Haixin had just been knocked off the stage by Ye Feng, and she was retreating towards the stands with a pout.

Ye Feng looked at the challenge card again, and now there was only Ye Minghan left.

At this time, Ye Minghan stood up in the stands and said to Ye Feng: "How about leaving the battle between you and me until tomorrow?"

"Just now, I saw you instructing others, and I got some insights. Besides, your points are almost there."

"Also, don't you need to take a break?"

Ye Feng thought for a while and said, "Okay!"

"Thank you!" Ye Minghan sat down directly without any hesitation.

Ye Feng looked in the direction of the people from the Ye Family branch and asked, "Is there anyone who challenges me?"

Everyone was surprised when they heard Ye Feng's words.

Ye Minghan had just reminded him to take a rest, but he didn't expect that Ye Feng would continue to let others challenge him.

Even Ye Mingcheng frowned and said, "Ye Feng, you have fought two games in a row. According to the rules, you can go down and rest."

"I'm fine." Ye Feng shook his head and said, "If someone continues to challenge me, I can still continue, but if I hinder the people from the branch family from challenging others, I'd better go down."

Ye Feng smiled somewhat awkwardly.

At this moment, a man stood up from the branch family's position, bowed to Ye Feng a little embarrassedly and said: "My name is Ye Jingchen, I am from the Northwest Branch Family, I only have the cultivation base of the peak of the Earth Realm, but I want to challenge you, I just don't know..."

"Okay!" Ye Feng nodded and said with a smile.

Hearing that Ye Feng actually agreed to it, Ye Jingchen shouted with surprise: "You, you agreed?"

"Of course." Ye Feng said with a smile: "If I can earn points, of course I will agree."

Ye Jingchen hurriedly walked onto the martial arts stage, took out his long sword, looked at Ye Feng and said, "I like swordsmanship very much, but I have never been able to comprehend the essence of swordsmanship. Moreover, I have never been on a battlefield, nor have I experienced a life-and-death battle, so I want to learn the murderous intent in your swordsmanship."

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Calm yourself down first."

"Yeah!" Ye Jingchen nodded quickly, then slowly closed his eyes.

Everyone below the martial arts stage who saw this scene had their own thoughts.

By now they have all realized that Ye Feng has been recognized by the younger generation. Up to now in this martial arts competition, if the Xia family and those martial arts sects do not cause trouble, it is a foregone conclusion that Ye Feng will become the head of the Ye family.

So everyone looked at Xia Hanfeng first, but Xia Hanfeng whispered to Lu Haiyang, "When will your people arrive?"
