飞仙阁，剑场之上，众人看着那块用特殊材料铺成的青石，两人的战斗，将青石砸出一个巨大的坑洞，所有人的大脑都停顿了一下。

“这样就结束了，这是高手之间的战斗吗？我们还没来得及反应过来就结束了。”

“小子，你整天想些什么，都已经结束了，没看到十长老已经认输了吗？”

众人想要商议此事，可是看到六长老之后，一个个脸色都变得古怪起来，只能沉默不语。

“走吧，十哥既然这么说了，我们还有什么理由留在这里，难道我们要看着对方赤裸裸地打我们的脸吗？”

“六哥，难道就这样算了？再试一次不行吗？”

“你还不嫌自己惹的麻烦够多了？有本事你能打赢三哥吗？既然没本事，就闭嘴，别忘了叶家的祖训是什么？能出头之人，必不如平庸之辈，现在结果已经很明显了，惨败就是惨败，没有任何借口。”

六长老等人根本无法接受眼前发生的一切，原本胜利就在眼前的他们，却转眼间从天堂坠落到了地狱。

“为什么你就不能接受现在的结果？我能说什么呢？走开，别在这里丢脸了。”

“六哥，好，以后有机会我一定会报复你的。”

九长老叶重九是个心机很深的人，他知道八哥为他做的一切，现在只是埋伏，到时候自然会以王者之姿归来。

“六哥，难得有这么好的日子，你们何不留下来聚聚呢？”

“三哥，不必了，现在叶家正值养伤时期，家宴还是延后吧。”

“好吧，既然今天大家没心情，那这件事，改日再说吧，等叶家步入正轨了再说。”

三长老叶崇三出于礼貌，也劝道他们不要再说了。

“好了，三哥，你别再说他们不留下来了，这种情况下，不如我们好好聚聚，欢迎你回来，辛苦你了。”

九长老他们几个最后关头，不好意思留在现场，只能找借口离开。

“走吧，你不害臊吗？”

最后那一瞬间真的让人无法接受，既然哥哥这么说了，我也只能忍气吞声了。

“各位，都散了吧？看在各位长老的份上，也辛苦了。今天就到此为止，明天再说吧？”

听到这话，其他长老也都松了一口气，这时候，四长老也忍不住凑过来开起了玩笑。

“七哥，你真是把我们累坏了，把我们当牛马一样对待，再这样下去，他们不但赢不了，还会把我们累坏，幸好，最后还是分出了胜负，恭喜三哥。”

四长老为人大方，思维敏捷，很直接的表达自己的想法。

"Fourth brother, I thank you here. Please support my work in the future. Let's lead the Ye family to a better future together..."

"Of course, of course. You've consumed too much energy today. I'll prepare a gift for you another day, and that's all for today."

After a brief greeting, only the Third Elder, the Seventh Elder and Ye Xuan were left on the Feixian Pavilion's sword-discussing arena.

"Third brother, you have now been promoted to the acting clan leader. It can be said that your power has reached the pinnacle of the Ye family. You just want us to stand here and drink water?"

"Seventh brother, now is not the time to talk so much. Why don't we go to a secluded place first?"

The seventh elder, Ye Chongqi, had a very close relationship with the other party and expressed his congratulations directly from the bottom of his heart.

"You are so shameless, kid. That move of yours was really powerful. It helped me turn defeat into victory at the critical moment. I can only say that your strength is too well hidden. It greatly exceeded my expectations. If it weren't for you, I would have really been defeated on the battlefield today."

Skipping the pleasantries, the two of them accompanied the Third Elder to a secret room specially arranged by the other party, and they felt much more relieved.

"Okay, that's enough."

Naturally, all of this was seen by the two of them. Ye Xuan did not say anything when he saw his performance, but the Seventh Elder couldn't help but become confused at this time.

He asked, "Third brother, you finally got the last laugh, shouldn't you celebrate? What are you doing? Are you going to have a secret talk overnight?"

The other party smiled without saying anything, took out the food that had been prepared long ago from the secret compartment in the secret room, put it on the table, and then invited the two of them.

"Seventh brother, this is an extraordinary period, and we must treat it very differently. The three of us are just having a drink together. Why are we doing this? We'll talk about it in detail later. Don't ask so many questions."

"Boy, did you know something and deliberately cooperate with Third Brother to hide it from me? Good boy, even you are hiding it from me, is it a big deal?"

The Seventh Elder had been kept in the dark by the two of them, and now that he had discovered the other party's abnormality, he couldn't help but become confused and wanted to know very much why this happened.

Ye Xuan, with a smile on his face, said: "Third Uncle, Third Elder was able to achieve the final victory this time, also because of your understanding, which is enough to prove that you have this talent. You deserve the position of Acting Sect Master. I just did what I should do. I will drink this glass of wine first to show my respect to you. After all, you are my elders."

"That's it, kid, shouldn't I toast you three times? Have you forgotten me? I've been worried about you, too."

The aroma of wine and the delicious food filled his face. He had put in a lot of effort during his time with his third brother and tenth brother, and was already hungry.

“Gurgle gurgle…”

Seeing the table full of delicious food and wine, my stomach started to rumble.

"Okay, I'm not going to pretend anymore. I'm going to show my cards."

The Seventh Elder changed his usual attitude in front of the delicious food and started to enjoy it. He could no longer hold back and grabbed a big chicken leg, stuffed it into his mouth and took a sip of wine.

"Come on! You two should speak up. Haven't you seen me eat like this? When a person is hungry, there is no need to pretend to be polite. Eat your fill first."

"Seventh brother, you are amazing. You are not a crazy cultivator. It seems that you also know how to enjoy yourself."

Seeing each other's performance, Ye Xuan and the others didn't know how to describe it. Everyone drank one glass after another and gradually got into the atmosphere.

After three rounds of drinking, the faces of the three people were flushed. At this time, the third elder changed his previous gentle expression and became serious.

"Boy, you can talk now. What happened? What happened at that time? Is there a demon hidden in the Ye family? Or is Ye Tian not dead yet?"

Hearing this, the Seventh Elder stopped what he was doing, put the chicken leg he had just taken a bite of on the plate, and looked at him.

"Third brother, what did you say? I saw with my own eyes that the traitor Ye Tian was killed by this kid himself, and turned into ashes. How could he not die under such circumstances? Oh, and there are even more exaggerated spies from the Ye family and the demon clan. How is this possible?"

As if he had heard something incredible, he pricked up his ears, and when he heard his third brother confirm it again, he couldn't help but believe it.

Ye Xuan said calmly, "Yes, I just have a slight suspicion. We still need to be prepared. I have more important things to do. I hope you can cover it up for me so that I can use your trick against you and achieve the effect of a miracle plan."

"Good boy, sometimes I have to wonder why your head is full of brilliant ideas. Are you a wise man who has come down to earth or a sword immortal who has been reincarnated? I have to doubt it again."

"Two elders, you are all my father's brothers. I am your nephew. How can this be fake? Feel it and see."

Ye Xuan had already merged perfectly with this body, and they were indistinguishable from each other. How could they tell them apart? If he had not done so to fulfill the last wish of the previous owner of this body, he would not have done so.

“好了，七哥，你别这么说，对方的身份是确定的，叶家面临这么大的危机，还是他化解的，你还怀疑他的身份吗？”

三长老叶重三这时候上前阻拦，因为他们现在有更重要的事情要做。

“原来如此，小子，若真如你所说，我们叶家还没到躺平的时候，还需要负重前行，你说说你的解决办法吧！”

三位长老同时看向叶轩，脸上满是期待，希望能够得到一个满意的答案。

“哈哈，你小子真厉害，居然能想出这种主意，有时候我都想知道你脑子里在想什么。”

两位长老相视一笑，得到满意的答复后，都露出了如释重负的笑容。

“今天就到这里。明天我会公开宣布这一消息。”

“三叔，七叔，麻烦了，我的事情我会处理好的，再给我十年时间。”

叶轩面色凝重，对着眼前的男人深深的鞠了一躬。

第二天，阳光明媚，新的一天开始了。

“各位，我在此宣布，圣子叶轩将闭关十年，任何人不得打扰，另外，叶家的重建，也正式开始。”

随着代理宗主和三长老的声音响起，众人听罢，脸上都是露出了期待之色。

“终于开始了……？”

叶天的一丝残魂附身在一名修为不高的弟子身上，得知这个消息后，他控制住了对方的身体，悄悄离开了现场。

“果然，宣儿说的没错，这小子难道有什么奇怪的地方？”

三长老没有上前阻拦，长线钓大鱼，只是计划的一部分。

“七哥，你派人跟来。”

“三哥，我明白了……”

一场明与暗的较量再次拉开帷幕……
