Chapter 123
"The byes will be drawn as usual, without any shady means. After all, our Long family martial arts competition has been going on for hundreds of years, and those deceased ancestors are also watching..."
Long Batian's voice was vigorous and powerful, and his right hand tapped lightly on the table.
After hearing this, the senior members of the Long family looked at each other, but no one spoke out to refute.
"What the head of the family said is very true."
The head of the Long family, the eldest elder, was the first to clasp his fists and bow, praising.
Then, the other senior members also spoke out to praise.
Not long after.
Long family martial arts arena.
Long Batian's vigorous voice rang in everyone's ears.
"Everyone, since there is one more person in the competition, after discussion, we have decided to draw lots to decide who will get a bye, and the same method will be used for future byes."
After hearing this, everyone in the Long family began to whisper to each other.
"What's going on this year? How come there's one more person? Aren't there always even numbers in previous years?"
"I don't know, but as it stands now, there's one person who can get a bye in each round. Doesn't that mean everyone has a chance to advance directly?"
"Do you think it's because there's one more Lin Chen this year..."
"Brother, don't talk nonsense. Our Long family is the fairest family..."
......
Then, everyone focused their attention on the giant light screen in the air.
The densely packed names on the light screen began to flash continuously.
Most people hoped that they could be selected, after all, they could advance unconditionally.
But some strong people didn't care about it. They were absolutely confident in their own strength.
Beep, beep...
As the beeping sound in the light screen became more and more intense, everyone in the Long family knew that this meant that the lucky person would be selected soon.
For a moment, countless people held their breath. They stared with their eyes wide open, not daring to blink, for fear of missing the birth of the lucky person.
"Boom!"
The flashing light on the screen finally stopped in a dark square. The name in this square had only two characters.
After seeing this name, everyone in the Long family looked as ugly as if they had eaten shit.
"Lin...Lin Chen? Isn't he from the outside world?"
"This kid is too lucky. He was selected among tens of thousands of people."
"There are so many people in our Long family, but this quota was taken away by an outsider. Where can we put our face?"
......
In the martial arts arena, everyone in the Long family discussed very enthusiastically. They believed that Lin Chen's selection was a great insult to the Long family.
The strong discussion soon reached the ears of Long Batian and other senior members of the Long family.
"Master, the result of the draw is Lin Chen. Many people in our Long family are very dissatisfied with this result."
The ninth elder of the Long family frowned and said with an unhappy look.
"Old Nine is right. Now many of the Long family disciples are very dissatisfied with the result. Should we intervene to interfere with the result?"
The fifth elder of the Long family followed suit. Although he did not get along with the ninth elder, he was still clear about the relationship between the primary and the secondary in such matters.
Long Batian's eyes swept over everyone one by one. The elders of the Long family all thought that the bye quota for this round should not be given to Lin Chen.
"I understand what you mean, but if the result of the draw is not counted just because Lin Chen is not a member of our Long family, I think it is very inappropriate.
Our Long family has been able to pass on for hundreds of years, relying on integrity! Lin Chen was able to be selected as a bye, this is his luck..."
Long Batian is worthy of being the head of the Long family. His remarks are well-reasoned and made many Long family members nod and praise.
"What the head of the family said is very true. We were not thoughtful enough!"
After everyone looked at each other, they clasped their fists and bowed, saying in unison.
Then, Long Batian asked the ten elders of the Long family to come out together to deal with the group of dissatisfied Long family disciples outside.
After everyone left, Long Batian's tense expression gradually relaxed, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"He is indeed the son of Lin Nanfeng. He is indeed a person with great luck like his father."
"I am afraid that it will not take long for me to hand over the things left by Lin Nanfeng to Lin Chen."
......
Martial arts field.
The ten elders of the Long family appeared in the air together. The ten of them have a very high status in the Long family.
It is no exaggeration to say that the younger generations of the Long family have all received guidance from the ten of them.
"Hey! Why did the elders show up? Is there something big going to happen?"
"Brother, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? They came here obviously because of the byes."
"Uh, byes? Isn't the bye Lin Chen? Didn't you see the big black words on the light screen just now?Did you see it?"
"Long Sha, I think you should just call yourself Long Sha. This is our Long family. We have the final say on all the rules here. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. The byes will definitely change."
"No way..."
......
The Long family disciples in the martial arts arena kept whispering. In fact, many smart people guessed the meaning of the ten elders of the Long family coming here.
Lin Chen and others also heard some people's discussions.
"Lin Chen, I just heard that your bye seems to be invalid..."
Hong Xiu looked ugly and blushed as she looked at Lin Chen.
"If the Long family really dares to do this, then they are really unworthy of the name of a hidden family. "
Bai Yuxin spoke slowly. She had read many more secret ancient books than Hongxiu and others. She did not think that the Long family would break the rules.
"Miss Bai, I may not know as much about the Long family as you do, but I think any family will be corrupted. You should have heard the discussion of the Long family just now. Even most of them think that the number of byes should be changed..."
Chen Qingshan's face was cold and he spoke slowly.
Lin Chen listened to the discussion of Hongxiu and the other two. He did not interrupt, but stood aside silently, looking at the ten elders of the Long family appearing in the air.
Since Lin Chen broke through the hundredth level, the distance and ability of his eye of insight have also been improved.
The information of the ten elders of the Long family appeared clearly in front of Lin Chen.
"Ahem...Everyone, the ten of us appeared here, and I believe some people have guessed our purpose. "
The voice of the elder of the Long family was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted to everyone's mind.
Hongxiu and the other two were shocked by the voice. They looked around with doubts on their faces.
"Sister Hong, this senior's talent should be related to brain waves, so he can easily transmit the sound into our minds."
Lin Chen said softly.
At this time, the second elder of the Long family in the air looked at Lin Chen with surprise.
Lin Chen looked at the second elder of the Long family in a humble and unyielding manner.
"Interesting young man, he is worthy of being a person valued by the head of the family."
"Second brother...what are you mumbling about?"
