The Western Border...

The Heavenly Wind Empire, the four major families of the Imperial City, the Wu family.

Early in the morning, the sky is still slightly cool, the square of the Wu family has been full of the third generation of young people of the Wu family, the expression is solemn, and not far from the square is a deep stone cave, on the top of the stone cave to see that there are four big characters "Wu family ancestral temple".

Above the square, Wu Shanhe, the patriarch of the Wu family, the second generation of the Wu family, Wu Haiming, Wu Haitao, and the twelve elders of the Wu family, their expressions were also solemn, and their eyes were fixed in the direction of the Wu family's ancestral temple.

"The time has come, dedication to the boy, dedication to the tripod!" the emcee's voice sounded in the square.

The voice of the master of ceremonies fell, and everyone in the square turned their eyes to a corner.

A plainly dressed young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old, holding a bronze tripod with a very different proportion from his body on his hands, walked towards the square step by step.

The bronze tripod is very large, and it looks like it weighs at least three thousand catties, and every step the boy takes, he will leave a shallow footprint on the hard ground.

Trample.. Trample..

The sound of heavy footsteps sounded in everyone's ears, accompanied by the young man's heavy breathing.

Even so, the three-thousand-pound Juding still did not crush the young man's upright body, but flashed with stubborn fighting spirit in the young man's eyes.

As soon as the young man appeared, all the three generations of disciples of the Wu family on the square began to riot, and even the elders of the Wu family above the square and several of the second generation also showed a sneer on their cheeks.

"Yo, I'm not mistaken, this time it was our third young master Wu Xuan himself who offered the tripod? Didn't the three people carry the tripod before?" A third-generation disciple of the Wu family looked at Wu Xuan who was holding the tripod step by step, wiped his eyes in an exaggerated manner, and said mockingly.

"No, who made our third young master's father offend his third uncle when he was alive,... Wu Haijing, how about ending up like this!" said another teenager in the three generations of the Wu family.

"Wu Xuan's third uncle, Wu Haijing, is now the elder of the Imperial Courtyard, and the family will naturally abandon Wu Xuan and them and keep Wu Haijing!"

"Alas, Wu Xuan is also a genius, there are a total of ten veins in the Tongmai realm, and now he has opened up the second vein of Rendu, and there are still eight veins left in the Heavenly Meridian!"

"What kind of genius, our Wu family's eldest and youngest Wu Tianyi is in the Imperial Courtyard, and he is only seventeen years old now, and he has already opened up the seven main meridians!"

The disdainful ridicule and the slight sound of justification from the square all fell into the ears of Wu Xuan, who was raising the crown, and Wu Xuan just shook his head and smiled slightly bitterly.

The tall body did not pause, and walked forward step by step, and finally Wu Xuan carried the tripod to the position of the entrance of the ancestral hall and slowly put the tripod down.

Bang!

After putting down the sacrificial tripod, Wu Xuan did not return to the three generations of disciples of the Wu family, but silently returned to the corner, quietly watching the next sacrifice, as if waiting for something.

Several of the members of the Wu family, looking at Wu Xuan's lonely figure in the corner, were all a little emotional.

Three years ago, when Wu Xuan's father was still alive, the lonely boy who stayed in the corner was also full of spirit and infinite scenery.

But one day three years ago, Wu Xuan's father was ordered by the Imperial Courtyard to fight against the beast's nest on the edge of the Tianfeng Mountain Range, but he died and died, and he still hasn't even found his body.

In order to compensate Wu Xuan's father, the Imperial Courtyard deliberately made an exception and gave the Wu family an admission letter, the original intention was to let Wu Xuan enter the Imperial Courtyard in advance without the assessment and enjoy the cultivation resources of the Imperial Academy.

However, because of Wu Xuan's third uncle's interference, the Wu family did not give this quota to Wu Xuan, but gave the quota to Wu Tianyi, and also drove Wu Xuan's mother and son out of the Wu family's main courtyard.

Wu Xuan's father, Wu Haiyi, devoted himself to the Wu family before his death, but after Wu Haiyi died, the Wu family abandoned Wu Xuan and their mother and son.

Wu Xuan's mother was also in a hurry because of the incident three years ago, and she was bedridden ever since, and she still needs to borrow elixir to hang herself.

The sacrificial ceremony lasted for a whole morning, and Wu Xuan also waited in the corner for a whole morning, during which he kept watching the ceremony go on.

"Wu Xuan, here you go, this is today's reward, hurry up and go home!" Wu Xuan and the others in the square all dispersed, and an elder of the Wu family walked directly to the corner and handed Wu Xuan a hundred-year-old ginseng.

"Sixth Elder!" But after seeing the person clearly, Wu Xuan shouted.

Wu Xuan knew that since his father left, only the six elders in front of him would take care of Wu Xuan's mother and son from time to time, and this alone was enough for Wu Xuan to remember.

"Mother, wait for Xuan'er, with this old ginseng, your illness will definitely be improved!"

After seeing the six elders go away, Wu Xuan also put the hundred-year-old ginseng in his arms and rushed to the small courtyard where he lived, thinking of his mother, Wu Xuan's pace couldn't help but speed up.

The Wu family is divided into the East Courtyard and the West Courtyard, usually the descendants of the Wu family, as well as the elders and people, all live in the West Courtyard, and the East Courtyard is where some of the Wu family's subordinates and guards live.

And in the east courtyard where the Wu family lives, there is a quiet and remote courtyard, next to this small courtyard is wasteland, extremely desolate, obviously even the Wu family's descendants will not be willing to set foot here easily.

Chirping~~

At this time, the door of the secluded courtyard was pushed open, and Wu Xuan's hurried figure stepped into the secluded courtyard.

"Brother..."

As soon as Wu Xuan stepped into the small courtyard, a girl wearing a cyan dress hurriedly walked out from the house, stepped forward and grabbed Wu Xuan's arm, and shouted with tears in her eyes.

The girl's hand holding Wu Xuan's arm couldn't stop shaking, there was still a trace of sadness in her tone, and she couldn't stop crying.

The girl's name is Ying'er, she used to be a girl in the Wu family, and later because Wu Xuan's mother and son were kicked out of the West Courtyard, Ying'er also followed out to take care of Wu Xuan's mother, Wu Xuan's mother also treated Ying'er as her own daughter, and accepted Ying'er as a righteous daughter.

Wu Xuan felt the girl's trembling hands, as well as the cry with a hint of sadness, and felt an inexplicable sense of ominous premonition in his heart, but Wu Xuan still stubbornly took out the hundred-year-old ginseng in his arms, and put the old ginseng into the girl's hand tremblingly, while saying:

"Ying'er, this old ginseng is effective for my mother's condition, you hurry up and boil this old ginseng into a decoction!"

"Brother. Mother, mother, she is waiting for you in the house..."Ying'er did not pick up the old ginseng in Wu Xuan's hand, but glanced at the room in the small courtyard and said stumblingly.

"In the house, in the house?" Hearing Ying'er's words, Wu Xuan muttered twice in his mouth, quickened his steps, and walked into the room where his mother was.

Wu Xuan pushed the door and entered, and saw his mother Wang Ya, who was as pale as paper, lying on the bed and falling asleep, and there were still traces of blood that had not been wiped clean at the corners of Wang Ya's mouth.

"I... What's wrong with our mother, what's wrong?" Looking at his mother's current appearance, Wu Xuanyi grabbed Ying'er's hand who had caught up, looked at Ying'er's eyes and asked.

"Brother!" Ying'er was obviously frightened by Wu Xuan's current movements, and the little hand subconsciously wanted to pull out of Wu Xuan's palm, but Ying'er couldn't pull it no matter how hard she tried, so she had to look at Wu Xuan with a blank look, and then said:

"After you left, Ma Dong, the head of the East Courtyard of the Wu family, came, and he told his mother about your going to Xianding. Just...!"

"Ma Dong!" Wu Xuan's eyes became fierce when he heard the name, and he muttered in a low voice.

Ma Dong's name Wu Xuan can be said to be very familiar, since he was driven to the East Courtyard, the head of the East Courtyard has not been less troublesome with Wu Xuan's mother and son, and today he is obviously also here to mock Wu Xuan's mother and son.

"Ahem, ahem. Xuan'er, Ying'er!"

When Wu Xuan was angry, a weak voice came from above the bed.

"Mother!" "Mother!"

Hearing this weak voice, Wu Xuan and Ying'er both knelt on the edge of the bed and shouted in a low voice.

"Ahem!"

When Wang Ya saw Wu Xuan and the others, she coughed dryly twice, stretched out her hand tremblingly, and gently stroked Wu Xuan and Ying'er's cheeks for a moment, and said slowly:

"Xuan'er, Ying'er.. Ahem.!"

"Mother, you rest first, I'll boil medicine for you now, with a hundred-year-old ginseng, your condition will definitely improve!" Listening to his mother's weak voice, Wu Xuan hurriedly stopped his mother from talking, and Ying'er next to her was also crying and pleading.

"I know my physical condition, I can't do it anymore! After talking for a long time, Wu Xuan's mother was already a little unable to support it, and the corners of her mouth had coughed up blood again, but Wang Ya didn't care, but Ying'er on the side hurriedly wiped the blood off the corner of Wang Ya's mouth with a handkerchief.

"Mother, no, you will definitely get better!" Saying this, Wu Xuan was about to take the ginseng and go outside again.

"Xuan'er, come back!" Wang Ya looked at Wu Xuan, who was about to go out to boil medicine, and somewhere he got the strength to sit up directly from the top of the bed, and called out to Wu Xuan, but because Wang Ya's movement was too big, a mouthful of blood spurted out directly, which made the already weak body completely languishing, and said intermittently:

"I... I have something to say to you both!"
