Chapter 160 Competition!"Ying'er, you're back?" Cao Shan looked at Cao Ying excitedly and said.
Cao Ying chuckled and said, "Yes, Grandpa, the retreat is over. The Alchemy Conference is still more than a year away, and the teacher needs to prepare for the conference, so I came back!"
"What happened just now?" Cao Ying asked with a frown.
When Cao Dan saw Cao Ying, he couldn't help but jump out and said, "Sister Cao Ying, you are finally back. You must avenge me!"
Cao Ying frowned slightly and said, "Tell me, what happened?"
As the most outstanding genius in the history of the Cao family, Cao Ying is top-notch in both alchemy skills and intelligence.
Even though she could see that the Cao family must have experienced something before, she would not rashly help the family. If she offended someone who should not be offended, the Cao family would be finished!
When Cao Dan heard what Cao Ying said, he naturally did not dare to hide anything and told her everything.
Upon hearing this, Cao Ying looked at Cao Shan and said, "You can actually do something like forcing someone to get married? You're such a scumbag!"
Cao Dan's face suddenly darkened, and then he said: "This is originally a marriage between Ye Xinlan and me. It is her Ye family who does not take the Cao family seriously, okay?"
Cao Ying couldn't help but sneered and said, "Don't blame everything on the Cao family. She simply doesn't like you. If you can win her heart, she will marry you even if you are not from the Cao family!"
"Besides, didn't the Ye family bring compensation to apologize? You just detained him like that. Is this what the Cao family should do?"
As a woman, Cao Ying could even more empathize with Ye Xinlan's feelings.
Cao Shan looked at Cao Ying and said, "Okay, we did do something wrong in this matter, but the Ye family really doesn't take us seriously. Can we just let this matter go?"
"Want to save your face? That's easy. Doesn't Cao Dan know how to make pills by playing with fire? Just let him compete with someone else, like Ye Xinlan's teacher. Since they are all alchemists, competing in alchemy is the best way!" Cao Ying said.
Cao Dan's expression froze for a moment and he said, "But that guy is a Dou Zun strongman!"
"So what if you are Dou Zun? Being strong doesn't mean you are good at alchemy. You are a seventh-grade intermediate. As long as he is not a seventh-grade advanced, you don't have to be afraid!"
"If he uses force, the people of Danta will not let him go, even if he comes from those hidden families!" Cao Ying said coldly, looking at Cao Dan.
Cao Dan was so upset by Cao Ying's words that he had no choice but to lower his head and agree.
On this side, Jia He had just returned with Ye Chong and Ye Xinlan.
When Ye Chong heard that someone from the Cao family had come to deliver a declaration of war, he unfolded the letter, was slightly stunned, and then looked at Jia He.
Gah said, "What's wrong?"
Ye Zhong held up the letter of challenge and said, "The Cao family wants to compete with you in alchemy!"
Ye Xinlan on the side couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Want to compete with me in alchemy skills?" Jia He was also a little surprised. The Cao family really knows how to pick people. Why didn't they pick Ye Xinlan?
Ye Zhong said, "It's like this. The letter of challenge says that you can cancel the engagement, but Cao Dan heard that you are Ye Xinlan's teacher and wants to compete with you in alchemy. If Cao Dan wins, the engagement will continue. If Cao Dan loses, the Cao family will return the previous compensation in full and give you a city!"
Mang Tianchi on the side couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that the Cao family wants to destroy your prestige and deliberately doesn't make trouble for you based on your strength."
"What is the time and place of the competition?" Jiahe said lightly.
Ye Zhong said: "Three days later, Caocheng."
"Okay, tell the Cao family that I accept the bet. A city is just right for a branch of the Imperial Prison!" Jia He smiled.
After Ye Dian nodded in agreement, he went to tell the Cao family that he had accepted the declaration of war!
Soon, the news that Jiahe was challenged by the Cao family reached the ears of Medusa, Yaoyue and Yunyun.
Yaoyue looked at Jiahe and asked, "Is there really someone who is not afraid of death and wants to compete with you?"
Jia He smiled and said, "It's a good opportunity for me to see the strength of the Cao family, one of the five major families in Danta!" Yao Yue snorted and said, "Aren't you going there just to bully others?"
"How can you say it's bullying? I'm making a contribution to the Imperial Prison. After all, the Cao family is willing to give up a city!" said Jia He.
Yaoyue said to Jiahe, "I heard that you taught Ye Xinlan the art of alchemy for three months?"
"I also want you to teach me the art of alchemy for three months alone!" Yaoyue snorted.
Jia He agreed and said, "Okay, I'll teach you when I have time later!"
Today, Yaoyue's alchemy skills have reached the peak of the seventh level. She is preparing to refine an eighth-level elixir at the alchemy conference, which will allow her to break through to the eighth level in one fell swoop.
……
During these three days, the news that the Cao family was going to compete with the Ye family was secretly spread.
The five major families of Danta, as well as the three major families of Dan, Qiu and Bai, all received the news.
In the Dan Family, a group of Dan Family elders asked, "Why is the Cao Family going to compete with the Ye Family in alchemy?"
"The strongest person in the Ye family is Ye Zhong, right? He's at the seventh-grade intermediate level?"
"I heard that the younger generation, Cao Dan from the Cao family, wants to compete with the people from the Ye family, and I heard that this idea seemed to be proposed by that witch from the Cao family!"
"Cao Ying is back?" someone asked in shock.
"I heard that he is back. He will probably represent the Cao family to attend the Alchemy Conference!"
Both the Bai family and the Qiu family looked down on the Ye family. After all, these two major families were once suppressed by the Ye family.
Now that there is such a thing as giving a drowning dog a beating, they naturally will not lack it.
Three days later, Caocheng, which was already crowded with people, became even more crowded.
In the Cao family, Cao Shan chuckled and said, "I never thought that a competition could attract so many people to watch."
Cao Ying glanced at Cao Dan and said, "The stage is set for you. It depends on whether you can seize this opportunity."
"If we win, the Ye family's reputation will plummet, and they will definitely be completely eliminated from the Danta assessment. By then, we can get much more benefits!"
Cao Shan is very satisfied with Cao Ying's intelligence. In the future, the Cao family will basically rely on Cao Ying.
"Let's go, it's almost time!" said Cao Shan.
In the center of Caocheng, in a square.
At this time, this square, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, was full of people. The other three families had all come here.
Soon, the Cao family and the Ye family appeared one after another. This scene was almost comparable to the assessment that Danta gave to the five major families.
On the Ye family side, in addition to Ye Chong and Ye Xinlan, Medusa, Yaoyue and Yun Yun also came with Jia He.
When Medusa's charming face appeared in front of everyone, many people held their breath.
Although Cao Ying is enchanting and charming, she is similar to Ya Fei in that they both have seductive looks, while Medusa is purely charming, and even women can't help but be moved when they see her.
Cao Dan followed Cao Ying, and the moment he saw Medusa, he couldn't help but have a hint of heat in his eyes.
Especially when Cao Dan saw the pure and lovely Yaoyue and the elegant Yunyun following Jiahe, a look of jealousy welled up in his eyes.
