Dawn had just broken, and the sun was rising.
The entire Beimang City descended into chaos. Countless figures lined up in a long line on the main street. The wide street seemed to be slightly crowded at this moment. The excitement on the faces of countless people could not be concealed. They only had one goal. Beimang City Lord's Mansion!
The lucky day of February 2nd was a day that they were worried about…
February 2nd, the Day of Suffering, was the day they went crazy for…
Although the annual ceremony was a ceremony, it was also a stage for countless people to rise up. Most of the forces within a hundred miles came with this idea. Those who stood out from this place would obtain immeasurable benefits, whether for themselves or their families.
In fact, even the Liu family, one of the three great families, had relied on this to rise to prominence decades ago. Until now, it had become one of the giant families in Beimang City.
However, reality was cruel. Even though the ceremony was held every year, there had never been a second " Liu Family ". Even so, countless people would fight for it every year.
In the center of Beimang City, a huge square was filled with countless people. In front of the figure, there were dozens of white jade steps that extended all the way to the bright red city lord's door. On both sides of each step, there were city guards in armor, looking at the crowd in the square without moving.
"When will this ceremony start? This City Lord's Estate... Aren't you being too arrogant!" In the crowd, Ye Qiu said impatiently,
"There's still an hour. Don't worry!" Daly turned around and replied gently.
"How can I not be anxious? There was still an hour! This is too difficult!" Zhang Biao wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said with a bitter face.
Zhang Biao had been woken up many times, and this damned ceremony hadn't even started yet. If it wasn't for the fact that he was dragged out of the blanket by Daly so early in the morning, he would have waited until noon to come back. However, when he looked at the crowded crowd around him, Zhang Biao closed his eyes helplessly again. It seemed that Daly's approach was correct, because if he came late, there would be no place to stand.
"Look, the Zhao family is here!" Just as the burly man closed his eyes, someone in the crowd reminded him kindly.
Hearing this, Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly and quickly looked over with a strange gaze. He had some impression of the Zhao family, one of the three great families. Ye Qiu actually felt some sympathy for the tragic man, Zhao Wuji.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, several figures slowly walked along the small path at the side. The leader was a black-robed old man. The old man's old face was filled with gloominess. Even his gaze towards the crowd was filled with a hint of malice.
"This old man is very powerful. The Zhao clan is indeed worthy of being one of the three great clans…" Feeling the old man's sharp gaze, Ye Qiu was also a little surprised. Ye Qiu could not see through the old man's strength.
Although Ye Qiu was a Type 6 expert in his previous life, if he wanted to see through the old man's strength now, he would have to be at least one level lower. However, based on his intuition, the old man's aura was at least at the fourth step and definitely not above the fifth step. Even so, in Ye Qiu's eyes, he was still an expert.
Just as Ye Qiu was sizing up the old man, the people from the Chen family also appeared on the other side of the path. The person in the lead was Shen Yi. Behind him, several figures followed closely. Chen Qian, who had met Ye Qiu once, was also among them.
However, the current Shen Qian no longer had the slightest trace of a delicate and pitiful appearance. Her white robe tightly wrapped around her alluring curves. Her every word and action revealed extreme beauty, but her small face was covered in frost.
Following the arrival of the Shen clan, the crowd descended into a clamor. Countless pairs of eyes stared intently at the white-robed young lady, and quite a number of men fiercely swallowed their breaths.
Hearing the sounds of people swallowing their saliva, Ye Qiu had a look of disdain. Wasn't she just a little girl who liked to cry? They're all fucking hooligans!
"Little…Xiao Ye, Shen... Shen Qian!" The pig-like Zhang Biao pulled Ye Qiu's clothes and shook them.
"Old Zhang, don't embarrass yourself! Daly is still here." Ye Qiu was used to Zhang Biao grabbing things everywhere like a woman when he was nervous.
"Little Ye, is she beautiful?" At some point, Daly had already turned around and smiled at Ye Qiu.
"Isn't it beautiful? Ah, what did you say?" Ye Qiu didn't expect Daly to suddenly ask such a question. Under Daly's smiling gaze, he scratched his head with a puzzled expression.
"I'm asking, is she beautiful?" Daly asked gently again,
"Uh... This... Wow, the city lord's door is open. Look!”
Just as Ye Qiu finished speaking, the heavy door that was several feet tall finally slowly opened. The city guards standing on the steps immediately straightened their backs and turned their gazes over with respect.
The noise in the square finally quieted down a little. As the Shen family sat down and the City Lord's door opened, countless people regretfully withdrew their gazes from Chen Qian and looked at the City Lord's Mansion's door with anticipation.
A couple of figures walked over under everyone's excited gazes. The one at the front was a green-robed old man. The old man first smiled and waved his hand at everyone. After which, he welcomed the two great clans and nodded with a smile. However, when his eyes collided with Chen Yi's, there was an additional inexplicable feeling in his smile…Immediately, under the strange gazes of the crowd, he walked towards the empty seat of the Liu family. The people behind him followed closely. However, one of them stared at the young lady in the Shen family's seat with a burning gaze.
"Liu Family? Why did the Liu Family come out of the City Lord's Mansion?”
"Yeah, how could it be? Who is that old man?"
"You don't know about this, do you? The Liu family is now in the same boat as the City Lord's Estate…"
"Liu Family's Liu Tianchi is the Vice City Lord, of course they are on the same side."
"Did you see that? The young man behind the old man is Liu Yuan, the champion of the previous competition."
"No wonder he's so arrogant! However, I can tell that this kid is not a good person."
"If he really is a good person, then there are no good people in Beimang City."
....
Listening to everyone's discussion…In the seat of the Shen family, Shen Yi's face was gloomy. From the gaze that Liu Tianci, the head of the Liu family, cast over, he felt a sense of mockery. How could Shen Yi not understand what that meant? He wanted to tell Shen Yi that the Shen family…It wouldn't be good for long.
However, even so, Shen Yi did not care much. What he cared more about was that since the Liu family was so arrogant, they would swagger out of the City Lord's Estate on this extremely solemn day…Could it be that the legendary City Lord was already so useless?
If that was the case, the Shen family was really in danger! Even his sister…At the thought of this, Shen Yi gently turned his gaze to the cold faced Shen Qian. He gently held Shen Qian's small hand. He could feel that her small hand was trembling slightly. He knew that on her cold little face, there was a fragile heart.
In the past half a year, he had seen this little sister, whom he had loved since she was young, cry more than ten times. However, there were many times when his sister wiped her tears and smiled like a flower. However, how could he not know that he was just forcing himself?
Liu Tianci's old face was full of smiles. He immediately sat down on the seat of the Liu Family's Family Head. He did not pay much attention to the voices coming from the square.
So what if it caused public outrage? Although the Liu family had not reached the point where they were the only family in Beimang City, for Liu Tianci, whose strength was close to the peak of Rank Four, there were very few people in Beimang City that he had to worry about. Even the Shen family, one of the three great families, would be uprooted if the time came.
Liu Yuan, who was standing beside Liu Tianci, swept his gaze across the crowd. His blade-like face was filled with a cold and sinister expression. He snorted coldly and turned his gaze towards the Shen family. He could not hide his burning desire at all.
