In the evening, in the western suburbs of the city.

Today is the Pei family's quarterly family gathering, and all the direct descendants of the entire clan have gathered in the dining room, dozens of people are sitting around the huge round dining table, all of them are eating quietly, there is no conversation, only the sound of the collision of dishes and chopsticks and the soft movement of the servants can be heard.

After the meal, it was the usual conversation time, Pei Yan sat quietly in his place, his back straight, his eyebrows lowered, his slender fingers pinched the lid of the celadon teacup, gently skimmed off the tea leaves floating on the top layer of the cup, took a sip, and frowned slightly when he tasted the expected bitterness.

It would be nice to have a milk cap, preferably a cheese cap, he thought to himself.

"Yongming. ”

Suddenly, an old and thick voice sounded in the direction of its own direction, pulling back Pei Yan's distant thoughts, and also making the others who were talking in a whisper stop talking in an instant, and looked in Pei Yan's direction one after another, with indifference or contempt in their eyes, and more rejection.

There are only two kinds of people who will be ostracized by the group, one is too good and the other is different.

Unfortunately, Pei Yan accounted for both.

He also knew very well in his heart the reason why he was ostracized by his people.

The Pei family has been cultivating immortals for generations since a thousand years ago, and there are not a few people who have ascended, and the Pei family is also the first family of immortal cultivators in the entire Huaguo, and the duty to stay in the world is to protect the dragon veins and luck of the motherland.

And all the descendants of the Pei family have had a common goal since they were children: to ascend to the Tao.

But because the aura in the world is getting thinner and thinner, in the past hundred years, there has never been a person who can truly enlighten, let alone ascend to immortality.

However, just twenty-seven years ago, the Pei family finally ushered in a turning point.

On the day Pei Yan was born, the red glow filled the sky, several golden rays of light penetrated the clouds to shine on the earth, and the long-drought land finally rained down, and the auspicious air filled the entire delivery room.

So from that day on, this baby boy who was born with an auspicious buff became the hope of the whole family.

His parents named him Pei Yan, and his great-grandfather, the current patriarch, personally gave him the word "Yongming", which was taken from "Yongyong Ming Goose, the Beginning of the Rising Sun", "Yong" symbolizes gentle and elegant, calm and unhurried, and "Yongming" means that he is full of hope and has an infinitely better future.

Just like the words given by this table, Pei Yan did have an excellent future, at least in the eyes of the rest of the Pei family, his future was better than anyone else's.

auspicious body, talented, excellent immortal physique... It seems that he was destined to become an immortal in the future as soon as he was born.

In fact, he has never disappointed everyone, not only is his cultivation and advancement speed ranked first among his peers in the clan, and even those who are older than him, but even alchemy and drawing talismans are self-taught, which can be called a genius.

However, when Pei Yan was nine years old, his parents suddenly suffered an accident and went mad during the cultivation process, and unfortunately passed away.

Since then, Pei Yan's temperament has become extremely indifferent, he doesn't like to talk to people, and he is extremely resistant to cultivation, and even closed his dantian.

The elders of the clan were angry, and once ruthlessly pushed him into the cold pool and forced him to use mana to save himself, but he was stunned and stayed in the cold pool for a night, and when he came out, he had lost his vital signs, and it took a lot of precious medicinal materials to save him.

Since then, no one in the Pei family dares to persecute Pei Yan, and he has become an ordinary person so naturally.

An ordinary person who was ostracized by his clan.

The Pei family has rules, if there is a junior whose parents are dead, the clan will fund and raise them, but they will only raise them until they reach adulthood. After adulthood, whether they are dead or alive has nothing to do with the Pei family.

So Pei Yan stayed in Pei's house for eight years, and finally at the age of seventeen, he stepped into the entertainment industry alone.

*

Outside, he is a top superstar admired by countless fans, but in the eyes of these people, he is just an ordinary person who is willing to degenerate.

This thought flashed through Pei Yan's mind, and he laughed at himself disapprovingly, then stood up without hurrying and bowed in the direction of the lord's seat.

"Great-grandfather. ”

Pei Hesheng's gaze fell on his face, and his voice couldn't hear joy and anger: "How is your work lately?"

"Great-grandfather Lao was worried, and it was quite smooth. Pei Yan replied succinctly.

At this time, someone in the hall whispered to the person beside him: "Hey, it's just a play, fake Qinggao!"

This voice was not far from him, and the volume was just enough for him to hear, but Pei Yan only regarded it as a deaf ear, didn't even bother to give a look, and continued to stand respectfully in place.

"Hmm," Pei He raised his chin and said, "Sit down." ”

"Yes, great-grandfather. ”

As soon as Pei Yan sat down, a female voice with a smile sounded on the opposite side, "By the way, I also heard an interesting story today, Fu Bingguo, the richest man in Lincheng, was plotted and poisoned by sleeping flowers, but was rescued by a little girl in her early twenties." Reputedly... It took her less than half an hour. ”

She finished the matter lightly, leaned back in her chair, and watched everyone's reactions with a cup of tea.

When they heard this, they were amazed, and there were believers, but there were many more unbelievers.

"The best antidote to sleep flowers in the world is in our Pei family, but it will take at least three hours to completely spread to the whole body, and this news is not very credible. ”

"Half an hour? It's too exaggerated, this little girl doesn't want to build momentum like this!"

"The poison of the sleeping flower is rare in the world, and the five great families only keep a very small amount of antidote, if there is really a miracle medicine that can completely detoxify in half an hour, how can it be obtained by a little girl in her early twenties? ”

"What if there really is a new antidote that we haven't discovered yet? If there is definite news to prove this to be true, I think we can try to contact her, if we can absorb her into our Pei family, wouldn't that be a big help?" "I don't care if the help doesn't help, I just want to know if that girl is beautiful......?"

In the past, Pei Yan used to talk to most of them in the left ear and out of the right ear, and he was entitled to listen to it, but today, somehow, he unconsciously memorized all these contents, and unconsciously combined the words "beautiful", "early twenties", and "little girl" in his mind.

No, what's the matter?

He came back to his senses suddenly, a little unable to understand his shaking at that moment just now, subconsciously picked up the teacup and drank a big sip to hide the unnaturalness on his face, and then he was so bitter that he tightly twisted his eyebrows.

Pei Hesheng, who was sitting on the main seat with his eyes closed and recuperating, suddenly opened his eyelids at this time, and his gaze fell on Pei Yan as if he was nothing, although he had passed the age of his life, a smile crossed his still bright eyes, and then slowly closed them again.
