King's Landing

Chapter 85 Clan Banquet
In the twitching carriage, hearing that Ran Li had actually lost to Lin Zhuo in the final battle of the Grand Competition, Yue Yu was really stunned and unbelievable.

One must know that he had done enough homework for Ran Li before this competition.Including the analysis of Lin Zhuo's internal breath characteristics, the hidden injuries in his body, and the characteristics of the sword, all of which are comprehensive.Even just last night, based on the book Soaring to Heaven and Exorcising Evil Sword Art that I saw on the fourth floor of the library, I specially designed several targeted tactics for Ran Li.Even if Lin Zhuo's cultivation base is one level behind, it should be enough to suppress that guy severely.

It sounds a bit biased, but Yue Yu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he did.Ran Li is his servant in name, but as early as half a year ago, he has regarded him as his life and death brother.As for Lin Zhuo, strictly speaking, he should be just a little familiar stranger.As far as the future is concerned, he only intends to treat this person as a tool for the time being.

There is no such reason in this world to ignore those who are close to you, but to be close and take care of others.

But after such thorough and detailed preparations, Ran Li was still the result of defeat, which really baffled him.

"You idiot! How did I teach you before? I asked you to go all out from the beginning, consume his true energy, and suppress that guy so that he would not have a chance to regain his energy. Did you follow through?"

Hitting Ran Li's head with his fingers, Yue Yu's face turned frosty.In my heart, there is both annoyance of hating iron and steel, and indignation of being humiliated by Lin Zhuo.He originally thought about letting Ran Li take back the hatred of losing in front of Lin Zhuo last time with his own hands, but now it seems that his careful planning is completely bankrupt.

"—To be honest, that guy is just a half-dead trash! I think he can only use the internal energy of the martial artist level for 3 minutes at most before he has problems! Before that, he fought hard for ten consecutive days. Even such a If you can’t even win, you might as well die!”

Ran Li shrugged his head and remained silent, his face full of shame.Compared to the regret of not winning the championship this time and losing to Lin Zhuo again, he actually cared more about losing the face of Yue Yu and his teachers this time.

There are several instructors in the clan who are optimistic about him, and personally arrange the shady schedule for him, plus Yue Yu, who is already an absolute master in martial arts, personally guides him.Losing to Lin Zhuo in this way, in Ran Li's view, he really lost face at home.

"What qualifications do you have to say Brother Xiaoli?"

On the opposite side of the two, Yue Bingqian stood up with some distaste, her face blushing with indignation. "Brother Li is also second in the clan competition this time! What about you? You don't even have the qualifications to participate in the competition! And everyone who has watched their competition knows that Brother Li is not really inferior to Lin Zhuo, From the beginning to the end, that guy had no chance to fight back. If he hadn't been desperate in the end and Li Ge had softened his hand, the current result would definitely not be like this—"

Hearing this, Yue Yu cast his surprised gaze on Ran Li again.Although he knew the result, he didn't expect that the details would be like this.But Ran Li didn't feel any better because of this, on the contrary, he became more and more ashamed, and his whole head almost fell into the bend of his knees.

As for Lin Zhuo's possible desperate fight in the final, Yue Yu had already expected it and made enough preparations for it.All he needs to do is to follow the response plan provided by Yue Yu, and then mercilessly strike with the ax to interrupt the opponent's last luck.

In fact, if he had followed suit at the time, not only would he have been able to keep himself unscathed, but Lin Zhuo would have ended up with a serious injury to his stump.But in the end, for some unknown reason, after seeing the desperate, resolute and sad eyes, he finally chose to stop.

At this moment, Yue Bingqian over there was still unaware of the weird atmosphere between the two of them, and was still sneering freely. "There is also that Lin Zhuo, who is countless times stronger than you. How dare you say that he is a waste? He has several personal strengths comparable to intermediate martial artists, and how can you suppress him if you say that he can suppress it?" ? Simply standing and talking without pain in the back, and his body—”

When she said this, Yue Bingqian's expression suddenly froze, remembering that the situation in the arena today was almost the same as what her incompetent brother said.

Yue Yu smiled calmly, automatically filtered his sister's words, and the regret and anger at Ran Li's defeat disappeared without a trace.Ran Li has always been very mature in front of him, but he didn't expect for a moment that this stupid big man also has a soft heart.

The only thing he cares about now is Yue Zhang's attitude.It's just that the latter has been watching the flow of people outside the window as if he has never heard of their words.

After the clan competition, there is a clan banquet, which is not as important as the ancestor sacrifice ten days ago.This is also the reason why Yue Yu rushed back to join his family and put on new clothes.

But this time when the four of them arrived at the ancestral hall, although thousands of large round tables had already been set up in front of the ancestral hall, the hustle and bustle of the previous few days had long since disappeared.Since it is called a clan banquet, only members of the Yue clan are eligible to attend here.Except for some important guests, other servants and servants, no matter how high their status is, are not eligible to participate.

As soon as they entered it, several people were specially arranged in a relatively front position by the ancestral hall deacon who specially greeted them.But Ran Li was different, this time he was separated from them and led to the front seat.Banqueting with the patriarch has always been an honor given to the top three in the clan competition.

However, looking at the situation at the previous tables, Yue Yu was a little amused secretly, saying that it was a clan competition, but among the first three people, there was not a single surnamed Yue.Among the top [-], there is no one in the long room.In fact, his cousin Yue Lin had a chance to win the top ten this time, but it was a pity that he got injured all over his body on the first day.Fortunately, that guy is still young, and he will have at least two chances to participate in the clan competition in the future.As long as one of them can stand out, it is enough to guarantee his unlimited future.

Then Yue Yu saw that since Ran Li sat down with the chief, countless people found all kinds of excuses to talk to him. Although Ran Li did not win this time, it was enough to make many people See his strength and value.

And contrasted with it, is the desertedness around Lin Zhuo.Even if he wins the competition this time, no one in the clan is optimistic about the future of this young man.However, Lin Zhuo's back was still standing straight, like a cedar standing alone in the cold wind, appearing extremely lonely and desolate.

Yue Yu picked up the tea and took a sip, then slightly raised the corners of his lips.He originally thought that the most likely reason why this guy was looking forward to this clan competition was to obtain that strong marrow pill to improve his strength.But now it seems that the situation is far from being as simple as he imagined.

——Even after receiving his promise of healing, he still broke into the finals all the way to the finals by overdrawing his own life, and then adopted that desperate method.This person's temperament is far more arrogant than he thought!

While meditating, Yue Yu's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by shouts.He raised his eyes again, and saw the people in front of him standing up one after another, and at the entrance of the ancestral hall, Yue Yunjie was walking out of the gate accompanied by a 30-year-old Xu middle-aged man with a cloud pattern embroidered on his chest.
