"This? Who is that girl outside the door? She has such a powerful cultivation level, could she be from our Beiming family?" The person who didn't know the situation frowned.
Bei Mingluo quickly smiled at Ye Liuyun.
"Little guy, is that fellow Taoist outside someone you brought with you?"
When Ye Liuyun saw Bei Mingluo asking, he did not hide anything.
"Grandpa clan leader, she is my maid, her name is Jiang Wanling." Ye Liuyun replied.
As soon as these words were spoken, people of Bei Ming Hantian's generation were frightened. For a cultivator in the Mystical Transformation Realm to serve as a maid to Ye Liuyun, a cultivator in the Spiritual Stream Realm, how big a deal this was.
"Oh my God, is this true? The senior outside is actually cousin Liuyun's maid? What is the identity of cousin Liuyun? Is he hiding his cultivation level and is actually very high, or is he from a prominent family?" The expressions of his peers were not calm.
They all felt that the woman outside should have a cultivation level similar to that of the clan leader.
Bei Mingluo and Bei Mingyuan couldn't help but show shocked expressions when they received Ye Liuyun's personal admission.
"I didn't expect it. So, little guy, you have had a lot of luck in these years. You can get a strong man of the third level of Yuanshen to serve as your bodyguard. It's a big deal and hard to imagine." Bei Mingluo looked at Ye Liuyun and liked him more and more.
Compared to this, even Bei Mingxuan, the most outstanding person in their family, probably doesn't have the same achievements as Ye Liuyun.
"That's right." Ye Liuyun nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
After Bei Mingluo and others confirmed Jiang Wanling's identity, they did not ask too much about Ye Liuyun himself, but said.
"Well, now that everyone is here, you and your mother should stand behind your grandfather. We can talk about other things later. Let's announce the important family matters first."
Ye Liuyun nodded, then followed his mother and stood behind Bei Mingbo.
As soon as Ye Liuyun came over, a girl who looked very similar to Bei Ming Piaoxu greeted him with a smile.
This person must be Bei Ming Piaoxu’s sister, Bei Ming Piaoxue.
"Oh, I finally meet my eldest nephew." Bei Ming Piaoxue greeted him happily.
Bei Ming Piaoxu also quickly introduced to Ye Liuyun in a low voice the people standing behind their father and brother.
"Liuyun, she is your aunt Beiming Piaoxu, and these two are your second and third uncles." Beiming Piaoxu hurriedly introduced.
Ye Liuyun also hurriedly bowed to the three of them in a low voice.
"Two uncles and aunt."
"Well, it's okay. Although this is the first time we meet, I didn't expect that you would give our Beiming family such a stunning debut when we met." Ye Liuyun's second uncle, Beiming Chengyun, patted Ye Liuyun on the shoulder and praised him.
"Yeah, I can't even think about being a maid for a cultivator in the Mysterious Realm. You guys have to work harder. This won't do. I feel like you're not on the same level as Liuyun." Third uncle Bei Ming Chenglei also joked.
The young men and women behind him couldn't help laughing dryly. They felt that they couldn't become a maid for a Divine Transformation cultivator no matter how hard they tried.
Behind the three of them stood a group of young women and young men. Their standing positions were very particular, with each standing behind where their parents were sitting. Although Bei Mingxuan was also standing, he stood relatively close to the front.
He was standing in the first row, behind Bei Ming Chengfeng. After all, he was the eldest son of the younger generation and the future successor of the Bei Ming family. His status and position must be very high.
"Okay, stop talking for now. If you want to get to know each other, wait until the meeting is over before talking." Bei Mingbo reminded.
As soon as Bei Mingbo opened his mouth, everyone fell silent.
Bei Mingluo and the other two started talking about business, but this matter had little to do with Ye Liuyun. It was mainly about the distribution of various treasures in the blessed land.
This is a very troublesome matter because everyone has different needs, and some things are limited and you can't get them just because you want them.
Not only that, the heads of the side branches will definitely strive for more benefits.
Bei Mingluo is the patriarch of the entire family. He has to be fair and not cause dissatisfaction among the side branches.
So when they distribute the treasures, you also have to negotiate with them on how to distribute them and how much to distribute. If you want more, you have to compensate others.
And there will definitely be disputes. It's not so bad on the direct lineage side, as Bei Mingbo is the boss. He decides how to distribute it, and the direct lineage will definitely get the most benefits, so naturally no one says anything.
But the dozen or so family heads of the side branches started to have quarrels and frictions in a short while, and started to talk about how hard it was for their families and how poor they were.
In a word, they either cry poor or list their contributions and hard work over the years. Once they start arguing, it's like a vegetable market.
"Eh? Mother, are all meetings here like this?" Ye Liuyun was speechless as he watched the elders from the side branches arguing with their faces flushed and their saliva gushing out.
Bei Ming Piao Xu was about to say something when Bei Ming Piao Xue spoke first.
"What else? Your grandfather is the only one in charge of our direct lineage, but there are more than a dozen branch family heads on the side branch. If they don't fight, they will definitely suffer." Bei Ming Piaoxu explained.
Ye Liuyun thought about it and it made sense. As the saying goes, the crying child gets the milk. This is an unchanging truth. If you can be the head of a family but don’t even have the ability to cry poor, then you’d better not be the head of a family.
After nearly an hour of discussion, the meeting was finally concluded successfully.
"Okay, the heads of the direct and collateral branches of the family stay, and the rest of you, go back first." The next step was to distribute yesterday's gains.
When Ye Liuyun heard that the meeting was over, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, it's finally over. It's strange, why did they call me here? I thought they were going to give me some benefits." Ye Liuyun muttered in his heart.
In this way, everyone left the parliament hall one after another. Once they came out, Ye Liuyun had something to do.
"Cousin Liuyun, let me introduce myself. I am your cousin, Bei Mingyan." A group of peers surrounded Ye Liuyun and introduced themselves.
Bei Ming Piaoxu saw that Ye Liuyun was so popular and felt it was difficult to call Ye Liuyun away for the moment.
"Oh, third sister, let their peers get to know each other well. Don't worry. With a powerful Yuanshen serving as this boy's maid, who would dare to bully him?" Bei Ming Chengyun saw that Bei Ming Piaoxu had a worried expression, so he hurriedly said.
Ye Liuyun didn't plan to leave immediately, but said something to his mother.
"Mother, you go back first. I want to get to know my cousins." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
After hearing this, Bei Ming Piao Xu thought for a while and nodded.
"Okay then, I'll go back first." Bei Ming Piaoxu said and left, leaving Ye Liuyun alone to deal with these people.
They were introducing each other. There were a lot of people, dozens of them. The closest ones were the children of her mother's brothers, there were more than a dozen of them, and then the closer ones were the children of her grandfather's brothers. Of course, there were definitely more distant ones.
"Brother, what are you doing standing there alone? Cousin Liuyun is your biological cousin, and you don't even come over to say hello." Bei Mingyan, Ye Liuyun's biological cousin, called her brother.
Bei Mingxuan was currently standing outside the crowd, looking at Ye Liuyun in the crowd with a strange expression. Her eyes were full of suspicion.
He might be suspecting that Ye Liuyun was the woman who fought with him and knocked him unconscious yesterday.
It was obvious why he suspected Ye Liuyun. He had fought with Ye Liuyun head-on and knew that Ye Liuyun was a physical cultivator. Because of the contact they had had, he felt that Ye Liuyun was reminiscent of the woman from yesterday.
But there was no evidence, and he really wanted to confirm it.
Bei Mingxuan thought for a moment, then walked over slowly, and the others quickly made way for him.
"Cousin, he is your biological cousin, Bei Ming Xuan. He is the number one of the younger generation of our Bei Ming family." Bei Ming Yan introduced with a smile.
Bei Mingxuan looked at Ye Liuyun carefully from a close distance. The look in his eyes made Ye Liuyun feel uneasy. She always felt that the other party seemed to see through her.
"No way, this guy, can he see through me? That's impossible?" Ye Liuyun was a little puzzled.
"Cousin, I heard that you are a physical cultivator. I have never fought with a pure physical cultivator. Are you interested in going to the family martial arts pavilion with us to play?" Bei Mingxuan had a cold face at first, as if he didn't want to be approached by strangers.
But immediately, he revealed a strange smile and invited Ye Liuyun to the family martial arts arena.
"Ah? This?" Ye Liuyun was embarrassed.
If I follow them to the family martial arts arena, once the fight starts, I will most likely be exposed.
"Hey, cousin, stop talking about yours and mine. We are a family of cultivators. What we like most is fighting and communication. This is a good opportunity for us to get to know you. Let's go." A group of people from the Beiming family pushed and dragged Ye Liuyun away.
However, what Ye Liuyun didn't know was that this was actually Bei Mingluo's secret instruction, asking them to take Ye Liuyun to the family's martial arts pavilion. They wanted to see Ye Liuyun's abilities.
Jiang Wanling followed behind the crowd at a moderate pace.
With her following them like this, the people from the Beiming family wouldn't dare to do anything out of line.
"Let's go and take a look. Bei Mingxuan and the others are going to take Ye Liuyun to the family martial arts arena. There will be some fun to watch." Some young people from the Bei Ming family followed Ye Liuyun and the others.
Chapter 478 Testing Strength (4000 words + 1400 monthly tickets plus more)
Ten minutes later, in Beiming family, the martial arts pavilion.
It was a very tall attic, and it was also the most lively place for the Beiming family. There was a complete protective formation for sparring, and family elders also served as referees.
Ye Liuyun was dragged to the Martial Arts Pavilion by his cousins. When other family members heard that there was going to be a good show, they all came over.
Not only them, but Ye Liuyun's uncles and aunts also came over. They were all very curious about Ye Liuyun.
They really wanted to know why Ye Liuyun allowed a cultivator in the mystical realm to be his maid.
There are four arenas in the Martial Arts Hall, but these four arenas can be combined into a larger arena when needed. All internal competitions of the Beiming Family are held here.
"Everyone, everyone, go away. Our cousins are here today and we want to spar with them. You all go down." Ye Liuyun's cousins were like bullies. As soon as they came in, they cleared the area and drove away the family members on the ring. They asked all those who were sparring on the ring to go down.
This is not the competition stage, so the field can be cleared naturally.
After the area was cleared, everyone else retreated to the surrounding viewing platforms, and the four arenas were quickly combined together under the control of a Four Extreme Secret Realm cultivator to form an extra-large arena, where they could fight with complete peace of mind.
The protective formation here can easily withstand the attacks of cultivators in the Spiritual Soul Realm.
Judging from the aura of Ye Liuyun's cousins, they have great power and status in the family, and the collateral relatives dare not provoke them.
After they cleared the field, soon only Ye Liuyun and his cousins were left on the field.
Ye Liuyun was speechless. She glanced at the viewing platforms around her and found that her uncles, aunts, and even Bei Ming Hantian were there.
"Hey, hey, hey! Cousin, you guys must have planned this. You are determined to fight with me." Ye Liuyun looked at Bei Mingyan with a twitching mouth.
Bei Mingyan clasped her hands together and said sorry to Ye Liuyun.
"Cousin, this is not our idea, it's the idea of the family elders. We have no choice. Don't worry, it's just a sparring match. If you can beat him, then fight. If you can't, forget it. We won't force you." Bei Mingyan and others said with a smile.
After saying that, everyone flew up with grins on their faces and landed on the surrounding spectator seats. In the end, Ye Liuyun was the only one left on the huge arena.
Now that I'm here, it's impossible to refuse.
Helplessly, Ye Liuyun could only take one step at a time.
"Well, since the elders want to test the abilities of the juniors, I wonder who will be my first opponent?" Ye Liuyun asked.
There are still many descendants of the Beiming family here who are not clear about Ye Liuyun's identity, so they asked the people around them who the person in front of them is. Ye Liuyun is wearing the clothes of a member of the direct lineage, so he must be a descendant of the direct lineage.
But they definitely had never seen Ye Liuyun, but what puzzled them even more was Ye Liuyun's cultivation level.
"Who is this man, cousin? I've never seen him before. And why is his cultivation only at the Lingxi realm? He is too weak. We can just find someone in his teens here to defeat him." said a descendant of the side branch.
"I don't know. Seeing how enthusiastically those young masters and young ladies from the direct lineage treat her, and the fact that she's wearing the attire of members of the direct lineage, she must be an important relative from the direct lineage." Another person guessed.
Bei Ming Hantian is currently the most senior person in this place, so naturally he was the one to speak.
But he first looked towards an inconspicuous corner, where Jiang Wanling was standing without saying a word.
Bei Ming Hantian thought about it, his body disappeared from the spot, and came in front of Jiang Wanling.
"Senior, why don't you go sit over there and watch? The view there is better." Bei Ming Hantian bowed and invited a girl dressed as a maid under the puzzled gaze of everyone.
Jiang Wanling thought about it and did not refuse.
"Well, thank you for your help." Jiang Wanling and Bei Ming Hantian flashed to the viewing seats in front with the best view. Many people had already come to the viewing seats, all of them were cultivators from the Four Extreme Secret Realms.
As soon as Jiang Wanling came over, everyone saluted to her, which was a sign of respect for the strong.
Jiang Wanling is just Ye Liuyun's person, not someone who doesn't belong to their Beiming family. They don't dare to disrespect Jiang Wanling just because they are Ye Liuyun's elders.
"Senior, what is your name? I am Bei Ming Hantian." Bei Ming Hantian hurriedly introduced himself.
"My name is Jiang Wanling. Please don't be so polite. I'm just your maid." Jiang Wanling said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they smiled awkwardly and sat down. They didn't think that Jiang Wanling was just a maid.
After they sat down, Bei Ming Hantian announced to everyone.
"My fellow family members, this man is Ye Liuyun, the son of my granddaughter Bei Ming Piao Xu. He is from Nanling. Today he is visiting our Bei Ming family. I am here to test his cultivation. Don't worry, anyone can challenge him."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood what was going on.
"Oh, it turns out to be my cousin. No wonder he is so close to Master Bei Mingxuan and the others. Miss Piaoxu's son is the biological cousin of Master Bei Mingxuan and Miss Bei Mingyan." Someone talked about the relationship between Ye Liuyun and Bei Mingxuan and the others.
As for Bei Mingxuan, he had no intention of going up to test his cousin immediately. After all, he was Ye Liuyun's cousin, and his cultivation was obviously much higher than Ye Liuyun's, so he had to let others try it first.
If others fail, he will go on stage and try again.
"In that case, it's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. I'm from Bei Ming Yu, and I'm in the Linghe realm. I'd like to ask my cousin for some advice." A young man jumped down from the spectator seats.
This person is very young, no more than 20 years old, and is probably of a lower generation than Bei Mingxuan and the others. This boy is very brave.
Ye Liuyun couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw a Linghe Realm cultivator running down.
But she was too lazy to say anything. Respect requires real ability, so she could only defeat one person first, otherwise it would not be convincing.
"What is this kid doing going up there? Isn't this just asking for humiliation? They don't really think that Liuyun is only at the Lingxi realm, do they?" Bei Ming Chengfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry in his heart.
