Chapter 82: Night Whispers (2)
"What? He's the first new island guard to make a name for himself in the Sky Dome?"
"Since Aunt Zixin has said so, she will naturally not be wrong. As I remember, his name seemed to be Shari. ”
"Then these two people are ......"
On the day of the dome event, only the head of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Wuzhu, and the chief array mage Zhuge Miao were present. Although the people of the Zhuge family knew some of the grand events of the competition from the two of them, their knowledge was limited after all.
However, the news of the birth of three Heavenly Pride Sons at the tournament has spread all over Qiyuan Island, and families with a little bit of power will inquire about the identity and background of those three. Although everyone in the Zhuge family, especially the young children, had never seen the three of Sha Li, they had heard their names.
"I was so happy that I forgot to tell my eldest sister the names of these little friends, blaming me. Zhuge Zhengchen looked like he was aware of it, as if he had really forgotten about it.
Sha Li also didn't remember that Zhuge Zhengchen had introduced the names of the three of his own to everyone in the Zhuge family present. However, he didn't care, after all, he wasn't interested in other people's names at the moment.
Moreover, Zhuge Zixin had been diagonally facing him for so long, and he didn't seem to intend to ask his name.
"This is the first place in the new island guard, the first place in the island guard, the second place Wu Lone, and ......" Zhuge Zhengchen glanced at the sleeping Xiao Dan, "Xiao Dan girl." ”
His gaze swept over the juniors of the clan, and he said solemnly: "These three people are all geniuses that I have not met in a hundred years on Qiyuan Island, and you can be regarded as seeing the gap between people today." In the future, you still need to cultivate diligently, and you must no longer sit in the well and watch the sky, and be self-righteous. ”
Most of the younger generation of the Zhuge family quickly bowed down and said yes, but some were a little hesitant, including Zhuge Tianhu, who had just fought with Sha Li.
I don't know if I don't think about Zhuge Zhengchen's words, or if I don't respect Zhuge Zhengchen himself so much.
"It's late at night, and there's enough wine. I think this is the end of tonight's feast. ”
"That's what I wanted, so let's go back and rest early. ”
After Zhuge Zixin and Zhuge Zhengchen glanced at each other, they really left first. Nearly half of the people in the hall directly followed her out of the table, and the other half signaled to Zhuge Zhengchen before slowly dispersed.
"Sha Xiaoyou, my cousin has been a little domineering and casual since she was a child, and I am still afraid of her. I didn't know about tonight's events in advance, and I didn't mean to. Luckily, I didn't cause you any trouble, hehe. ”
When Sha Li heard this, he slandered in his heart, this is called not causing trouble?
However, he replied politely: "Just now, the juniors of your Zhuge family did not cause us trouble. However, the purple core predecessor is not the sister of the young family?"
Zhuge Zhengchen didn't seem to hear the sound of Sha Li's first half of the sentence, and said with a faint smile: "Cousin Zixin is the daughter of her first uncle. She has been the eldest lady of the Zhuge family since she was a child, and she is quite powerful in the clan.
After his uncle passed away for some reason, his cousin has always been filial to his father. The period of filial piety expired, but he has always refused to marry.
Under my father's painstaking persuasion, I agreed to recruit my son-in-law to continue my uncle's incense. ”
Zhuge Zhengchen noticed that Sha Li had been silent, thinking that he didn't want to talk anymore, so he said: "It's late at night, and the three of you are quite tired today, so let's rest early." How about I'll tell you more about the Vermilion Bird Stone tomorrow morning?"
"The juniors retired. Sha Li replied, picked up Xiao Dan, and returned to the guest room with Wu Lone.
And the reason why he was silent was because of a transmission, the transmission that Zhuge Zixin gave him before leaving.
...
"Boss, Xiao Dan shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
Watching Sha Li gently cover Xiao Dan who was sleeping on the bed, Wu Lao asked softly.
In fact, the Yuan has vitality to protect the body, and the idle wine cannot hurt the body. It's just that most people don't have luck when they drink at all, so when it comes to drunkenness, the Yuan is almost the same as the mortal.
Moreover, Xiao Dan was too young to let her drink. Now that he is drunk like this, Wu Lao feels that he has it.
"Don't worry, the little girl is in good health. ”
Sha Li pinched Xiao Dan's little face, which had faded a lot, turned his eyes to Wu Lone, and wanted to say something, but his expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong, boss?"
"It's finally here!"
"Who's coming?" Wu Liao first felt inexplicable at Sha Li's words, and then he seemed to notice something, "Who is it?" ”
"Knock knock!"
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Disturbing Sha Gongzi, my aunt asked Gongzi to move around. ”
Wu Lao opened the door and saw that the person who knocked on the door was the maid who had seen him during the day and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"But Purple Core Senior?" asked Sha Li, glancing at the waitress.
"Exactly. ”
...
Sha Li sat on a wooden chair, his eyes looked at the decoration of the room, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was a woman's boudoir.
"Brother Sha doesn't need to be restrained, this is indeed the place where I lived when I was not married. You can taste the tea made by my Zhuge family first. ”
A pair of crystal white hands held a cup of pale red hot tea, with a fragrant breeze, and handed it to Sha Li.
At this time, Zhuge Zixin changed into a lilac gauze skirt, through the tulle, the white skin was hazy under the reflection of the illuminating brocade. Her headdress had been removed, and her long, lilac hair was casually draped over her rounded fragrant shoulders. Coupled with two pale reddens on his lips, the dignified and elegant posture at the dinner party was gone, replaced by the graceful charm of a mature and beautiful woman.
Her soft and crisp voice did not call Sha Li a little friend, but faintly regarded as the "Sha Brother" of the same generation.
Although Sha Li is not yet 16, he already knows a little about personnel and is in his youth. A man of this age, a rhyme woman who is much older than himself will inevitably have some kind of indescribable reverie in his heart.
What's more, at this time, Sha Li, smelling the fragrance and listening to soft words, was still facing Zhuge Zixin, a mature beauty with a shallow smile and full of charm.
Unlike facing Luo Jiangjun before, Sha Li at this time was a little angry, his face was slightly red, and a trace of nameless fire was secretly burning in his heart.
Sensing his own abnormality, Sha Li couldn't help but silently recite "Spring and Autumn Zhengxuan" in his heart. Unexpectedly, the effect was wonderful, the upwelling qi and blood were quickly smoothed out, and the heart fire was also extinguished.
This may seem like a long process, but it's actually done in a matter of lightning.
"Ouch, Brother Sha, why is your face so red. ”
The faint flush on Sha Li's face had time to fade in the future. Zhuge Zixin stretched out his palm, and he was about to caress Sha Li's face.
Sha Li turned his head away and said in a calm tone: "It's because of this tea, it's a little hot." ”
Zhuge Zixin glanced at the case, and then turned to Sha Li, the meaning in his eyes was clear: "You didn't drink tea at all!"
"The senior of Zixin sent a message to the junior after the dinner, and specially sent someone to invite him, or in this old boudoir, but I don't know, what's the matter?" asked Sha Li without any expression on his face.
"Well, I secretly sent a message to you, and I chose to meet you on such an occasion, do you know why?"
"Isn't it to hide people's eyes?" Sha Li raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Exactly!" Zhuge Zixin nodded with a smile.
"I heard the young family master say that the purple core predecessor has a great reputation and noble status in the clan, why do you need to hide from others when you act, and who do you need to hide?"
"Zhuge Zhengchen!"
For this answer, in fact, Sha Li faintly guessed in his heart. What he didn't expect was that Zhuge Zixin would say it to him, a stranger who had only met once, so unabashedly.
"Oh, this junior doesn't understand. Senior Zhengchen is not only the young head of the Zhuge family, but also the cousin of the senior, why is this so?" Although Sha Li asked, he did not show surprise on his face.
Zhuge Zixin looked at Sha Li's reaction and nodded secretly in his heart. Sha Li had already seen the scene of their sister and brother getting along at the dinner, and listening to Sha Li's words, it was clear that he had talked about himself with Zhuge Zhengchen. In addition, the previous conversation has already hinted that if Sha Li is too surprised by this answer, it will inevitably be delicate and contrived.
"Hehe, young family master?" Zhuge Zixin shook his head, and said to Sha Li with a trace of grief and resentment on his face: "Do you know that the young family master of this Zhuge family should have been my Zhuge Zixin, not his Zhuge Zhengchen?"
Sha Li already felt from the previous conversation with Zhuge Zhengchen that the relationship between the two sisters and brothers was not particularly harmonious. At this moment, when I heard Zhuge Zixin's words, I realized that the two of them actually had a grudge.
Without caring about Sha Li's reaction, Zhuge Zixin stood up and walked slowly a few steps, his originally graceful figure seemed a little lonely and desolate at the moment.
"At that time, the ancestor Zhuge Yunshang was the head of the Zhuge family, and my father Zhuge Wuentropy was the eldest son in the family, and he was very loved and relied on by his grandfather, and he was the future head of the family. Who would have thought that the sky had no eyes, and my father died young.
The grandfather was disheartened by the loss of his beloved son. The position of the head of the family was passed on to his uncle Zhuge Wuzhu, so that the ancestors of the Zhuge family could retreat and never ask about the world. ”
Zhuge Zixin turned his back to Sha Li and quietly looked at the bright moon outside the window. When it comes to the past, although he has tried his best to restrain himself, Sha Li can still hear the sadness and helplessness in his words.
"I don't listen to ...... Zhuge Zhengchen said, Ling Zun died unexpectedly?"
Zhuge Zixin was speechless for a long time to Gu Yue, and Sha Li had no choice but to ask.
"Nonsense! Lies, all of them lies!" Zhuge Zixin turned around, and there were tears faintly on his beautiful face. At this time, she looked a little hideous because she was too angry.
"My father was clearly killed by that woman! and lied to me about an accident...... Huh!" she snorted, then laughed again, and finally was speechless again.
"That woman, what woman?" said Sha Li in his heart, but he knew that this was not the time to ask. Moreover, he believed that Zhuge Zixin would tell him.
"When my father died, I was not yet twenty years old. The woman lied to me and said that my father was in a hurry when he was cultivating. Before the foundation was completed, he forcibly broke through the realm, and was finally devoured by the vitality, and the nine palaces were destroyed and died. ”
Sha Li was speechless for a moment. As a Yuan, he knew very well that cultivating Yuan was a move against the sky. Gaining great power comes with a myriad of risks. If you don't pay attention, you will die.
"Later, as I got older and more sophisticated, I felt that something was wrong.
I know my father's temperament very well, and he is the most steady. He has always been steady and steady in his cultivation of the Yuan, although he is not as talented as you, but his strength is rare in the same level.
Therefore, if the father wants to break through the realm, the time must be ripe and the foundation has already been consolidated.
But the first time he broke through the realm, it was indeed a failure, after all, the Spirit Yuan Realm was a watershed for the Yuan, and it was difficult to achieve it in one step. ”
"Spirit Yuan Realm?" Sha Li muttered.
The Lingyuan Realm is also known as the Zhenyuan Realm, and those who want to break through this realm will be robbed by the thunder. Therefore, many True Yuan Realm cultivators did not dare to try to break into the Spirit Yuan throughout their lives.
"Later, it was that woman who gave my father a set of secret techniques, saying that she could improve her grasp of breaking the realm by more than fifty percent. Her father believed in her and found her like a treasure. He quickly cultivated the secret technique, and then tried to break through the realm again, but it was ......"
Zhuge Zixin's original mood was much more stable, and it was also methodical to analyze the events of the year. But when he talked about his father's death, he was still a little choked.
"That woman, Zhuge Wuzhu's wife, Zhuge Zhengchen's mother, my uncle's ......"
"Luo Jiashu!"
