Let's go back two months.
The news that the Ye family was going to let their young patriarch participate in the Dan Tower's public assessment had spread throughout the entire Dan Domain due to the intentional or unintentional publicity of the Ye family members.
Although most of the alchemists didn't know what the Ye family was planning to do, and why they would lower their status to participate in a public assessment, most of them were just watching the show.
The only ones who cursed secretly were the ones who had the hope of being selected by Danta...
Now suddenly one of the five major families jumped out and wanted to snatch the opportunity from them, the civilian alchemists, and they couldn't help but curse.
However, perhaps provoked by the Ye family, the Cao family, one of the five major families, suddenly jumped out and announced that they would also send a member of their family to participate in the public assessment...
This was like dropping a bomb among all the alchemists!
Everyone is worried about whether the remaining three companies will also jump out...
If that is really the case, then Danta should not hold any public assessments this time, and should just allocate the few available places to the five major families!
This not only dissatisfied the alchemists from the outside world, but even the elders of Danta were alarmed.
"What is the Ye family doing? Why did they suddenly announce that the family members would take part in an open examination? If they want their young patriarch to enter Danta, they can just bring him here directly. Is it necessary to do this? Are they afraid that we will deliberately make things difficult for them?" A thin old man with a stern face spoke up from the Danta elders.
Although his tone was calm, the dissatisfaction in his words was evident.
The Danta Elders' Council has eight elders, five of which are reserved for the five major families. Even though Ye Xun's death means that there is temporarily no one in the Ye family who meets the requirements to inherit the position of elder, the position is still retained.
The cold and stern old man said this not to intentionally cause trouble for the Ye family, but the Ye family's choice, strictly speaking, was a lack of trust in the elders, and at most it was just taking advantage of the situation.
Faced with his dissatisfaction, Elder Mu Rong, who had a good relationship with the Ye family, had to stand up and speak a fair word for the Ye family, saying, "Elder Bai, please don't misunderstand me. I know about the Ye family's affairs. Although the five major families have a quota for core disciples in Danta, there is no rule that prohibits them from participating in the public assessment, right? Therefore, the Ye family's choice does not constitute a violation of the rules.
As for saying that you don't trust the elders, that's out of the question!"
Apart from the two of them, the remaining two elders remained silent and refused to help either side.
When Ye Xun was around, all matters in Danta were decided by the five of them, and the top three elders rarely showed up. But now that Ye Xun was gone, the final word was gone, and this led to disagreements among the four of them, which could easily lead to the current situation where things were so contentious...
At this moment, an ordinary old man in a white robe suddenly appeared in the room, startling Mu Rong and the other three. They immediately stood up and respectfully saluted the newcomer, saying, "Greetings, Great Elder!"
The Great Elder Qiu Ling, a fifth-rank Dou Zun-level expert and an eighth-grade alchemist, was usually invisible even to the elders themselves. Unexpectedly, he appeared at this moment...
At this moment, the four people present were all worried, wondering what had happened.
However, Qiu Ling didn't seem to be accusing him. He simply said, "Mu Rong, you will be the host of this Danta public assessment. The three leaders, including the president, and our three elders will also be in attendance. Please prepare yourself."
"yes!"
The three of them were startled and bowed in reply.
…
…
Qiu Ling left, but the four people present were all upset.
"I didn't expect that the president and the great elder would be present. It seems that this public assessment is destined to be extraordinary..." Qiu Yun, an elder from the Qiu family, sighed on the side.
After he finished speaking, he turned and looked at Mu Rong, an elder who was not from one of the five major families. He smiled and clasped his fists in congratulations, saying, "Brother Mu, the Great Elder has specifically asked you to preside over this assessment. It seems that both the President and the Great Elder think highly of you. Congratulations!"
With the three elders not coming out and the position of elder of the Ye family remaining vacant, the four of them were destined to choose someone who could make the decision.
Judging from Qiu Ling's attitude today, the choice will probably fall on Mu Rong.
Qiu Yun could see this, and naturally others could see it as well. Except for the elder of the Bai family who was at odds with Mu Rong, the remaining eight elders who were also not from the five major families also congratulated Mu Rong with a happy face.
What happened in the elders' council today quickly spread to the five major families.
The five major families were in uproar that the top management of Danta would make such a choice.
The Bai and Qiu families reacted most strongly. Although they also had talented children, they were still too immature to stand out in the assessment.
"It's all those bastards from the Ye family!"
Inside the Bai family's meeting hall, Bai Wei, who had been slapped in the face by Ye Chen, cursed angrily.
The Patriarch of the Bai Family and the Great Elder were both scowling. Finally, the Patriarch of the Bai Family couldn't help but ask, "Great Elder, how strong is Bai Ying? Can he pass the test?"
Bai Ying of the Bai family is the most talented person among the younger generation of the Bai family. In the original novel, his talent is even stronger than Cao Dan and Cao Xiu of the Cao family, and he is only second to Dan Xuan.
Unfortunately, compared with monsters like Ye Chen and Cao Ying, he is still far behind.
That White Eagle was the grandson of the Great Elder of the Bai Family. After hearing the Patriarch's question, the Great Elder's face was solemn. He said, "Ying'er has barely reached the sixth rank now. Although he was able to pass the first round of screening and obtain the qualification for the assessment, he is still unable to stand out among the many geniuses.
After all, Ying'er is only twenty years old. Even if he is talented, he can't compare with those sixth-grade alchemists who are almost thirty years old..."
This is also the reason why the Bai family is so angry!
If they were given another three years, no, two years would be enough, then Bai Ying would definitely be able to make a big splash and further enhance the reputation of the Bai family.
The same thing happened to the Qiu family and the Dan family...
However, unlike the Bai and Qiu families, the Dan family did not have no candidates who could participate in the assessment, but they gave up on their own initiative.
"Xuan'er, you will be responsible for inheriting the family in the future, so joining Danta is not the best choice for you. Let them fight over this matter, and my Dan family will not get involved." The head of the Dan family explained to his son.
Danxuan also agreed with his father's words.
After all, the Dan family is low-key and not as competitive as the Cao family, so they have no interest in such things.
Besides, the real demon of the Dan family still needs to grow...
