The next day, the sons and nephews who met the awakening requirements of the Ye family had gathered under the Summoning Altar under the leadership of the elders of each family. Those who had nothing to do were basically all present. In addition, the rarely seen Ye family patriarch appeared in front of everyone with a few elders.
Every year, the awakening ceremony was a major event for the Ye family. It was also decided on this day that a few of the younger generation had the talent to be nurtured by the family.
However, in the 300 years since the Ye family moved to Heaven Martial City, the most talented person was still Ye Qingcheng eight years ago. His first card was the gold-level Azure White Dragon, which had already reached the peak of gold-level and was only a step away from platinum-level.
In time, he might become a big shot who walked out of their Ye family.
However, this Azure White Dragon Summoning Card ended up in the hands of the Third Elder's bloodline. Ye Qingcheng's foundation was damaged, and the card fell from 5-star Gold rank to 3-star Gold rank.
After that, Ye Qingcheng had cut up five gold-level Summoning Cards and sold them to the various branches of the family. His foundation had been damaged again and again, and he no longer had the qualifications to be a prodigy. Now, he even had to mortgage himself to the family...
"The auspicious time has arrived. The ceremony has begun. Everyone who is undergoing the awakening ceremony, enter the altar. After the ceremony begins, no one is allowed to interfere. Anyone who disobeys will be punished as a traitor!”
Ye Yuanzhong, the head of the Ye family, swept his gaze across the disciples of the various branches in front of him. After seeing that Ye Chen did not appear, he could not help but let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
No matter what, the father of Ye Chen and his sister was his biological brother. As his uncle, he was unwilling to see his biological brother's daughter really become a slave in the clan.
However, even if he wanted to help Ye Chen and his sister, he was powerless.
Although he was the clan leader, his authority in the clan was controlled by the few elders led by the Great Elder. Even his daily life was closely monitored by the Great Elder's people.
He was not even as comfortable as a dog.
If Ye Chen really came to participate in the awakening ceremony today and failed again, he could only watch his niece become a servant girl of the clan and be humiliated. There was nothing he could do.
"Patriarch, there's still one person missing to participate in the ceremony. Why don't we wait a little longer?”The third elder said indifferently.
Ye Yuanzhong's face twitched. He knew that these old things were evil to the bone.
The reason why Qingcheng was forced to sell her cards was all because of these old geezers. They wanted to prevent Qingcheng from rising up and help their bloodline regain the power of the clan leader. For this, they did not hesitate to destroy Qingcheng completely.
Even he himself had to be manipulated by them and be cold to his poor nephew and niece.
It was a pity that the Codex of Summoning was broken. Now, there was nothing he could do about these old things. Otherwise, he would have already scattered the ashes of these bastards.
"Third Elder, the awakening ceremony is a major event in the clan. Isn't it a little inappropriate to postpone it because of one person? In my opinion. It was better to drive directly. There was no need to delay the auspicious time because of a late clansman.”
The Third Elder glanced at Ye Yuanzhong indifferently." We'll do as the Clan Leader wishes then. However, the resources consumed for the ceremony this time will not be reduced by a single person's absence. We still have to pay the price.”
"After the ceremony ends, send Ye Qingcheng to my grandson's courtyard. That little monkey has been pestering this old man for a long time.”
"Crack!"
Ye Yuanzhong clenched his fists tightly, and a crisp sound came from his fingers. However, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and force a smile." Then we will follow Third Elder's wishes. The ceremony begins!”
"Roar…"
Just as Ye Yuanzhong finished speaking, a roar suddenly came from the sky. Then, a purple flame smashed down from the side.
"Amethyst Flame Lion?"
Third Elder's brows twitched as he looked at the exotic beast covered in purple crystals and its scorpion tail swaying behind it.
"I didn't expect her foundation to be damaged six times in a row. She actually still has a gold summoning card in her hand.”
Ye Qingcheng carried Ye Chen, who was tied up, and jumped down from the beast. He looked at Ye Yuanzhong coldly and said," I was naughty and delayed some time. Please forgive me, clan leader and elders.”
Ye Qingcheng's expression was indifferent, as if his apology was just a casual remark and he didn't care about the people present at all.
"Since you're here, then go up.”The Great Elder opened his eyes and said casually. He did not care about Ye Chen's lateness at all. Even Ye Qingcheng's Purple Crystal Flame Lion did not attract his attention at all.。
"I'm not going!"
Ye Chen shouted," Even if I, Ye Chen, die here today, I will never participate in the Awakening Ceremony.”
"If that's the case, that would be great.”
The third elder smiled and waved his hand to have someone untie Ye Chen," Now, as the third elder of the Ye family, I announce that Ye Chen has failed the seventh awakening ceremony and will be expelled from the Ye family immediately.”
"Ye Qingcheng, from now on, you are no longer a disciple of the Ye Family, but a servant of the Ye Family. When the ceremony is over, you can be a servant girl for my grandson.”
When Ye Chen heard this, he was first stunned, then he was furious," I didn't even participate in the awakening ceremony. Why should my sister sell herself to the family?”
Ye Qincang heaved a long sigh and said," Whether you participate in the awakening ceremony or not, the family will invest more resources into the altar. Ye Qingcheng will pay the price."”
"Shameless!"
Ye Chen gritted his teeth so hard that they almost shattered. He lifted his feet and walked towards the altar.
He didn't expect that his refusal to participate in the awakening ceremony would be treated as a failure, and Ye Qingcheng would still have to sell herself to the family.
Since that was the case, he might as well continue to participate in the Awakening Ceremony. Once the Awakening was successful, according to the clan rules, he would only owe the clan a large sum of money. Only if the Awakening failed would he have to return the money on the spot.
"It's too late to participate now! If you're not a member of the Ye Family, how can I let you participate in the awakening ceremony of the Ye Family? Take him down!”Third Elder sneered and ordered the clansmen beside him.
Then, a few cards quickly flew out of the Summoning Codex of the surrounding people and turned into flying beasts that pounced towards Ye Chen.
"Roar…"
The Amethyst Flame Lion beside Ye Qingcheng let out a deafening roar, and purple flames spread out in all directions from its body.
"Violet Emperor, anyone who dares to stop my brother from ascending the altar will be killed without mercy!”
"As for those old fellows who dare to attack, they will self-destruct from the Five-Star Summoning Codex. Come and greet them?"
As Ye Qingcheng's cold voice fell, a Summoning Codex that seemed to be made of platinum flew out of her body. There were six cracks on it that almost tore the entire Codex apart. Each of these cracks represented that she had cut off a Summoning Card from herself.
