Shopping

The next day.

Ye Wuchen and Ningxue got up very early, but the sun obviously got up earlier than them. The wind was gentle and the sun was cloudless. Everything in the Ye Mansion was as usual. Except for the two people involved, no one knew that a "big thing" had actually happened last night. Ye Wuchen also didn't think that Ye Shuiyao would tell anyone about it. With her seemingly indifferent personality, perhaps she would not take this matter to heart too much. Because after all … they were brother and sister in name.

At this time, Ye Wuchen had already changed into a luxurious snow robe that Little Green had sent him. His hair was tied up, and he was incomparably handsome. There was a devilish smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was a faint arrogance in his demeanor, which made Little Green's eyes sparkle and almost lose her bearings. Wang Wenshu was so satisfied that she couldn't close her mouth. Because her son not only had an outstanding appearance, but he had also obviously changed. He was no longer as cold as he was yesterday, but with a smile on his face. This meant that he had begun to accept this family.

What a perfect image of a gigolo … Ye Wuchen muttered to himself after looking in the mirror.

After breakfast, the Yeh family immediately became busy. Ye Nu and Ye Wei all went out. Ye Wuchen took Ningxue around the huge Ye Mansion and found that he seemed to be the only one with nothing to do.

"Little Seven, accompany me to go shopping. Little Eight will stay here. If Madam wants to see me, just say that I went shopping and will be back soon. Oh, by the way, go and prepare a fan for me. "

"Yes, yes!" Ye Qi and Ye Ba answered at the same time. Soon, Ye Ba took out a white jade fan and held it with both hands.

Ye Wuchen took it in his hands and closed it. He smiled and asked, "Cher, do you think big brother looks like a young master of an aristocratic family?"

"As long as it's big brother, he's always the best looking." Ningxue blinked and didn't answer the question.

"I knew you would say that." Ye Wuchen smiled lovingly and waved his fan. "Little Seven, let's go."

Ye Qi hurriedly followed. Even a fool could see that this young master, who was unsmiling yesterday, seemed to have changed into a different person today. He seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood.

The streets were bustling with people of all shapes and sizes, showing the prosperity of the Heavenly Dragon City. With a fan in one hand and Ningxue in the other, Ye Wuchen swaggered in the middle of the road. His nobility and arrogance were obvious. Coupled with his stunning appearance, he stood out like a crane among a flock of chickens in the crowd. The passersby subconsciously made way for him, which even attracted the attention of some unmarried women. However, they immediately lowered their heads dejectedly, feeling ashamed of their inferiority. This was because such a temperament was definitely not something that could be nurtured by ordinary large clans.

Although the news of the return of the missing young master of the Yeh family had spread throughout the Heavenly Dragon City, because the young master of the Yeh family rarely went out, not many people recognized him. Even if some people occasionally saw him, they would have long forgotten about him, so no one recognized him.

"Little Seven, how far is it from here to the palace?" Ye Wuchen asked.

"Young master, it's very close. It's less than half an hour on foot. If we ride a horse, we can get there very quickly," Ye Qi answered.

"Oh … then let's go to the palace and have a look."

The palace was northwest of the Yeh family's mansion. The closer they got, the more people there were. After walking for ten minutes, Ye Wuchen frowned and asked, "Little Seven, is there something going to happen? Most of the people here were young and in a hurry. They were dressed differently and would subconsciously look around as they walked. It was obvious that they had never been here before or rarely came here. Is there a gathering in the Heavenly Dragon City today? "

"Young master is wise. The Heavenly Dragon City will be holding an annual youth selection competition in the Heavenly Dragon Royal Academy. Anyone under the age of 25 can participate, and the emperor will personally come to watch and select the talents. Therefore, many people came to participate in the competition and to watch. "

"Oh? How are they going to compete? "Ye Wuchen asked.

"This … it's divided into the civil competition and the martial competition. The civil competition comes first, and the martial competition comes later. This year's civil competition just ended the day before yesterday, and the martial competition starts tomorrow. Tomorrow is the preliminary competition, and many competitions will be held at the same time to select the true experts. The emperor will not go to watch it. The day after tomorrow is the true experts' competition, and it is also the one that receives the most attention every year. And today is the last day of the registration. Ah … Young master, go take a look and you'll know. "Ye Qi's eyes lit up as he pointed to the front.

There was a big announcement on the wall, and this kind of announcement was already all over the city. Moreover, it would appear every year, and there were only a few people who did not know the content. At most, they would confirm the time, so there was no phenomenon of people crowding around. Just as Ye Wuchen was about to walk closer, his footsteps suddenly stopped. This was because he saw a figure that left a deep impression on him.

In contrast to Ye Wuchen's luxurious white robes, this person was dressed in black, and it was a little shabby. He stood silently under the announcement, not moving an inch. Ye Wuchen felt as if he was looking at a sharp blade that was stabbed straight into the ground, releasing a cold light.

Ye Wuchen had seen this person in front of the Dreamy Smoky House the day before. At that time, this person had helped a seemingly blind middle-aged woman walk past him. That cold aura and gaze that was sharper than a hungry eagle's made him remember this person deeply.

Walking to his side, Ye Wuchen roughly scanned the announcement. Putting aside the long-winded opening speech, the content was roughly the same as what Ye Qi had said. Tomorrow was equivalent to the preliminary competition, and the day after tomorrow was the true competition between the young experts. The rules of the competition were based on challenge.

Ye Wuchen's gaze slightly slanted, and he looked at the skinny young man beside him, who was about the same age as him, and whose face was cold and hard. However, he found that the young man's gaze was fixed on the bottom of the announcement.

Ye Wuchen turned around, and pulled Ningxue away.

The content of the announcement was: "The first place will be summoned by the Emperor, and will receive a Spirit Level weapon, five thousand taels of silver, and a residence in the north of the city. The other ten who are chosen by the Emperor will receive a thousand taels of silver, and they can join the Emperor's Imperial Bodyguards, and will not have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of their lives … "

Such conditions might not be considered generous, but to most people, they wanted fame. Once their fame spread throughout the world, their life would be smooth sailing. And to some people, they might not care about fame, but the tempting money.

That person was the latter. Now, he was a person who was forced to make a living. He needed money, so he would participate in that competition.

"That, Young Master, could it be that you want to sign up for it?" Ye Qi asked with a face full of apprehension. He was still really afraid that this young master would take things too hard and really sign up for the competition … In the end, he would definitely embarrass the Yeh family. Everyone in the city knew how useless the young master of the Yeh family was in the past. Although he had returned to normal now, he still looked like a scholar who did not even have the strength to truss a chicken.

"This young master will not participate, I'll just watch," Ye Wuchen said.
