The Strongest Dandy in the City

Chapter 2460 - 2449: Branch Selection

The sky gradually darkened.Ye Chenfeng followed Wu Gui through the air for six hours.

They stopped in front of a vast manor.

Ye Chenfeng was unaware that Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan were utterly unyielding for his sake.

There was a plaque hanging above the entrance of the vast manor.

On the plaque, a very sloppy "Wu" character was written.

The entire manor was very imposing, with two powerful individuals in the Heavenly God Realm guarding the entrance. Upon seeing Wu Gui, they both called out, "Young Master Wu Gui."

This made the rotund Wu Gui very pleased, and with a broad gesture, he invited Ye Chenfeng to follow him into the Wu residence: "Brother Ye, do you see? I wasn’t lying to you. In this branch, I still hold some status."

"This is only a branch of the Wu family. If you could see the real Wu family, you’d be utterly amazed."

"Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to enter the real Wu family. Each time people from our branch go to the Wu family’s headquarters, we of the younger generation don’t qualify to enter. Only the ancestors within the branch have the qualification to enter. We are all arranged to stay in some separate courtyards next to the Wu family’s headquarters."

Seeing Wu Gui’s face full of lament, as long as Ye Chenfeng could meet Wu Lingxiang, allowing Wu Gui to enter the Wu family headquarters once would be an easy matter.

Furthermore.

As long as he could see the current ancestor of the Wu family headquarters, once Wu Fengxian’s matter is revealed, having Wu Gui directly join the core disciples of the Wu family should also be a simple matter.

Wu Gui had no idea what was going on in Ye Chenfeng’s mind; he only believed that Ye Chenfeng was from the outside ancient world, and he was confident in front of Ye Chenfeng.

Leading Ye Chenfeng, they walked into a courtyard.

Just as they stepped into the courtyard, a figure blocked their path.

Under the moonlight.

This figure was clad in a white robe, looking quite elegant, with a somewhat cold expression.

She could indeed be called a beauty.

"Wu Gui, tomorrow is the day for selecting the contestants, and you dare go out today? If our parents find out, they’ll confine you."

Wu Gui chuckled, "Is this how a sister talks to her brother? Let me introduce you. This is Ye Chenfeng, Brother Ye. He comes from the ancient world outside. Brother Ye and I hit it off right away, and he’s going to stick with me from now on. This time, I’m taking him to the resource contest to broaden his horizons, and let him see me shine at the contest."

This little beauty in white was Wu Gui’s own sister, Wu Lingyu. Her aura was in the late stage of the seventh layer of the Earth God Realm.

As for her brother, Wu Gui, he only had the initial stage strength of the seventh layer of the Earth God Realm.

Wu Lingyu sized up Ye Chenfeng and, feeling that Ye Chenfeng only had the late stage strength of the fifth layer of the Earth God Realm, and hearing that Ye Chenfeng came from the outside ancient world, she lost interest in him, merely saying lightly, "Your strength is alright; your age shouldn’t be much different from ours."

After coldly evaluating Ye Chenfeng.

Wu Lingyu continued to look at Wu Gui: "To win the first place in the branch competition of the Six Great Hidden Sects, only then can you participate in the official contest, so our hope is slim. Sister Lingxiang will definitely shine in the contest this time."

Having said that.

Wu Lingyu no longer paid attention to Ye Chenfeng and Wu Gui, and her figure walked towards a room in the courtyard.

While heading to this Wu family branch.

Ye Chenfeng gained more understanding of this resource contest.

Each of the Six Great Hidden Sects has dozens of branches. First, each hidden sect’s different branches will select three of the strongest young talents from within their branch.

After each hidden sect’s different branches select three people, all the branches will take the selected three to the headquarters.

After all, the competitions between the branches of the Six Great Hidden Sects are merely an appetizer before the official contest and cannot take too much time. Each hidden sect has dozens of branches. Even if each branch selects only three people, the number is too large, and if all these people participate in the contest, it will consume a lot of time.

Therefore, after each hidden sect’s different branches select three people, they first hold an internal elimination match, and in the end, among the dozens of branches of each hidden sect, only three people can participate in the real branch competition of the Six Great Hidden Sects.

Wu Gui, watching Wu Lingyu’s retreating figure into the room, laughed, "Brother Ye, my sister’s target is Wu Lingxiang."

"This Wu Lingxiang is recognized as the number one beauty and number one genius of the Wu family. You could say Wu Lingxiang is a woman with ambitions as high as the sky. I’m afraid no genius in this small world can catch her eye."

"When the time comes for the resource contest, you will surely get to glimpse the true face of Wu Lingxiang."

To this,

Ye Chenfeng could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

Afterward, Wu Gui arranged a place for Ye Chenfeng to stay.

The night passed without words.

At dawn the next day,

Wu Gui came to call Ye Chenfeng. Today was the day for selecting three contestants within the branch. Although the names of the three contestants were almost confirmed, for fairness, they still needed to go through the motions.

The selection of the three contestants was held at a large martial training ground within the Wu family branch.

Everyone in the Wu family branch was present.

Wu Gui and Ye Chenfeng were chatting and laughing, as Wu Gui was immensely satisfied with his little brother. His sense of superiority overflowed with Ye Chenfeng around.

As Ye Chenfeng wasn’t someone from this Wu family branch, after arranging his stay last night, Wu Gui reported to the management office of the Wu family, giving a rough account of Ye Chenfeng’s identity. This was a necessary process.

Wu Gui was considered a leader among the younger generation in the Wu family branch, so it wasn’t long before people knew that Wu Gui had brought back a little brother from the outside ancient realm.

The people of the Wu family branch quickly arrived.

Afterward,

A dark shadow suddenly appeared on a high platform at the front of the martial training ground.

The figure that appeared was an elder.

His aura was at the early stage of the Divine Venerable Realm, and in every branch of the Wu family, there was someone of early Divine Venerable Realm strength overseeing things.

This elder was considered the ancestor of this branch, named Wu Ren.

Wu Ren’s senses swept over the entire martial training ground, pausing briefly on Ye Chenfeng.

Nothing about the Wu family branch could be hidden from him.

Ye Chenfeng’s hidden strength could only be sensed by those at the Peak of the Divine Venerable Realm. Thus, Wu Ren could only feel that Ye Chenfeng had the late stage strength of the fifth layer of the Earth God Realm.

After withdrawing his senses,

Wu Ren’s voice was stern: "Wu Lingyu, Wu Ming, and Wu Gui are the strongest young talents within our branch. They are preliminarily set to represent our branch. If anyone thinks they can defeat them and are stronger, they can step forward to challenge."

"If you can defeat any one of them, you can take their place as a contestant."
