Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Rou Family
Brother, the simple words made He Xuanyue's tears flow completely uncontrollably, and he looked at He Xuansheng sitting on the ground in front of him blankly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"I grew up watching you, and I remember where you hid every time you were angry, and I remember where I liked to stay when you were wronged. I've searched all the places you used to like to hide, but I can't find you at all. He Xuansheng suddenly turned his head, smiled slightly, and said, "So, I knew that you must be hiding in your room!"
"What if I hid in some place I hadn't hid before?" He Xuanyue pouted and responded.
"The last thing you want to try from childhood to adulthood is new things!" He Xuansheng said softly, "You don't want to eat things you haven't eaten before, you don't like to wear so-called trendy clothes, you don't like to buy things that have never appeared, and naturally you don't like to hide in places that have never been hidden!"
He Xuansheng turned around and said softly to He Xuanyue: "Yue'er, my brother promises, when my brother's cultivation is over, I will come back to Yue'er immediately, okay?"
He Xuanyue could no longer suppress the feelings in her heart, and cried out with a "wow", and suddenly threw herself into He Xuansheng's arms, lying on He Xuansheng's shoulder and crying loudly.
"Brother, Yue'er knows it's wrong, Yue'er is sorry for you....." He Xuanyue said while sobbing in a low voice.
He Xuansheng patted He Xuanyue's back and said, "Don't cry, I don't blame you, and this time it's my brother's fault, I promise that I will always stay by Yue'er's side in the future, and others don't want to touch Yue'er's hair!"
He Xuanyue lifted her little face from He Xuansheng's arms, grinned, and said, "Then if you have Sister Qin'er in the future, will you always be by Yue'er's side?"
He Xuansheng was stunned for a moment, gently patted He Xuanyue's head, and said, "I'm naughty again." ”
He Xuanyue stuck out his little tongue and said, "Brother, you must be careful when you go to cultivate by yourself!"
"Oh?" He Xuansheng smiled and said softly, "Don't you hate me the most, why do you still care about me?"
He Xuanyue's face turned red, lowered her head and said, "I, when did I say I hate you the most!"
"Huh?" He Xuansheng teased with a smile, "Could it be that I misheard this morning?"
"You must have heard it wrong!" He Xuanyue grinned and said, "What people say is obviously that they like my brother the most!"
On this day, He Xuansheng didn't spend any more time cultivating, he first took He Xuanyue around the bazaar, bought a lot of things she liked, and then spent the last night before parting.
He Xuansheng didn't feel sleepy at all that night, he just sat quietly on the edge of He Xuanyue's bed, watching He Xuanyue gradually fall asleep......
The next day, when it was slightly bright, He Xuansheng looked at the time, got up quietly, and after kissing He Xuanyue lightly on the forehead, he quietly left He Xuanyue's room.
"Good all the way, brother. He Xuanyue looked at He Xuansheng, who gradually disappeared from his field of vision, two lines of tears slipped quietly, and said to himself, "Yue'er is waiting for you to come back!"
............
"Reluctant to family?" Shangguan looked at He Xuansheng, who had been looking out the window in a daze, smiled, and asked softly.
He Xuansheng nodded and said, "Master, how long are we going to go out this time?"
Shangguan thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but when you are sixteen years old, I will take you back to the He family, and the follow-up choices will be talked about then!"
He Xuansheng listened and turned his gaze out the window, but the bits and pieces of the He family in the past kept coming to his mind.
"Master, are we going directly to the Rou family?" Yun Ya on the side asked Shangguan respectfully.
Yun Ya, as He Xuansheng's personal guard, naturally followed He Xuansheng throughout the whole process, and the only people who traveled this time were Yun Ya, He Xuansheng and Shangguan.
Shangguan nodded and said, "Do you know the Spirit Burial Mountain Range?"
Yun Ya was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it the mountain range that has the legendary Wind Dragon King?"
Shangguan nodded and said, "The Wind Dragon King has the purest dragon bloodline, and according to legend, it is the orthodox dragon clan that existed thousands of years ago, and its bloodline strength is not known to be much higher than that of the Black Horned Golden Dragon King. ”
"But that's just a legend, is there really the existence of the Wind Dragon King?" Yun Ya asked.
"Nobody knows. Shangguan said, "But these days, the Spirit Burial Mountain Range is often windy, and some residents living next to the Spirit Burial Mountain Range also say that they can occasionally hear some faint dragon roars, which means that the Wind Dragon King may really be more than just a legend." ”
"Then master, what does this have to do with the Rou family?" He Xuansheng came back to his senses and asked.
"Because the Burial Mountain Range is a forbidden place for the Holy Palace, no one can enter there without the permission of the Holy Palace. "Shangguan Dao," and the Rou family is the family assigned by the Holy Palace to guard the Burial Mountain Range, so only with the permission of the Rou family can we have the opportunity to enter the Burial Mountain Range. ”
"Wind Dragon King?" He Xuansheng thought for a moment, and then said in surprise, "Master, you don't want me to subdue the Wind Dragon King, do you?"
"How is that possible!" Sacred Palace smiled helplessly and said, "The true dragon clan will not be attached to anyone, because the pride in their blood will never allow them to do anything under the fence. The reason why I want to enter the Burial Mountain Range is because there is a life force that cannot be matched anywhere else!"
"Vitality?" He Xuansheng said in surprise, "Can the vitality there be used for us?"
"Yes. Shangguan said, "But the premise is that we must find the source of unleashing that powerful life force. The life force in the Spirit Burial Mountain Range had long been mixed with many other substances, and if it was rashly absorbed, it would cause harm to itself. But being in a place full of vitality can still have a lot of improvement for your body. ”
"Source of Life Force?" Yun Ya said softly, "Could it be the legendary Wind Dragon King?"
"I can't think of any other reason other than that! Being able to keep a mountain range full of vitality for thousands of years is definitely not something that an ordinary spring or a spirit beast can do!"
Shangguan paused and said: "Although the vision of the Spirit Burial Mountain Range this time was suppressed by the Rou family and the Holy Palace, but the paper can't contain the fire after all, according to the information I have gotten, there are now many people who have come to the Spirit Burial Mountain Range in advance, trying to break into the Spirit Burial Mountain Range while the guards are not paying attention." Therefore, if we can really get the permission of the Rou family, we still have to be careful everywhere after entering the Spirit Burial Mountain Range. ”
He Xuansheng and Yun Ya both nodded solemnly, and after briefly discussing some countermeasures, they fell into cultivation one after another, constantly adjusting their best state.
About a day or so later, the three of Shangguan arrived at the city where the Rou family was located, Fengya City.
Walking into Fengya City, He Xuansheng immediately felt something different from the He family. Fengya City can be said to be a semi-coastal city, half of its soil is closely connected to the ocean, and the Rou family is in a windy place, so He Xuansheng can often feel the breeze from the ocean and a unique sense of saltiness.
"Well, what's going on there?" Shangguan pointed to a bustling crowd not far ahead, and said to He Xuansheng and Yun Ya, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look!"
Shangguan and his entourage walked quickly outside the crowd, gently pulled a middle-aged woman and said, "Auntie, do you know what's going on here?"
The aunt glanced at Shangguan and the others, and said, "You are outsiders, no wonder you don't know about this." We have four major families here, the leader is naturally the Rou family, one of the ten soul protectors, and the other three are the Ying family, the Zhou family and the Shi family. These three families were dissatisfied with the huge power possessed by the Rou family, so they came to the Rou family again and again to provoke. No, the three families reached an alliance, and they challenged the Rou family in the name of the three major families, and under the pressure of public opinion and family status, the Rou family finally agreed to this unequal challenge. Now the people of the three major families are doing the challenge here!"
Shangguan nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Then Auntie, do you know what they challenged?"
"I heard that there is a martial arts competition about the younger generation of the family!" said the middle-aged woman, "Three days later, it will be time for the challenge to begin, and I feel that this competition should be quite interesting!"
"Well, thank you, Auntie. After Shangguan thanked the middle-aged woman slightly, he took He Xuansheng and Yunya into a teahouse on the side.
"Xuan Sheng, the most important thing outside is to hide your strength. Shangguan took a sip of tea lightly and said, "According to the method I told you before, suppressing your own spiritual power in the realm of double and double turns is more suitable for your current age." ”
"Well, I got it, master. He Xuansheng said, "Anyway, are we going to the Rou family to help?"
"Help?" Shangguan smiled and said, "The most important thing for the ten major families has always been the cultivation of the younger generation, how can the younger generation of the Rou family be compared to those small families who can only make trouble? But we are also going to the Rou family, after drinking this pot of tea, let's set off." ”
............
"Report to the head of the family, those three families are now promoting this competition in the market. A guard in light cyan armor said to a handsome middle-aged man with long blue hair on the throne, "Shall we stop it?"
The middle-aged man thought for a moment, frowned and shook his head, and said, "No need, if we obstruct it, they will definitely release some unfavorable remarks against us, so let them go." ”
The guard nodded, and suddenly said, "Oh yes, there are three envoys from the He family who have asked to see the head of the family. ”
"He family?" the middle-aged man was stunned and said, "What kind of small actions does Lao He want to make, hehe, bring them in." ”
After about a minute, Shangguan and the three of them slowly walked into the room, bowed slightly to the middle-aged man, and said, "I've seen the head of the Rou family." ”
The middle-aged man above the throne is the head of the Rou family, Rou Yunting.
"No need to be polite!" Rou Yunting smiled and said to He Xuansheng, "I remember that you are Lao He's son, it seems to be called ...... He Xuansheng, right!"
He Xuansheng nodded and said, "Uncle Rou is good!"
"Hahaha, it's all a family doing this way. Tonight, your Uncle Rou will set up a feast for you!"
"Dad, what are we going to do with the competition in three days?" Suddenly a light and tactful female voice came from the back of the house, followed by a woman with a delicate face, long blue hair hanging down to her waist, and a long green skirt walked out slowly, and when she saw He Xuansheng and the three people in the hall, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then stuck out her tongue mischievously at Rou Yunting, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, I didn't know there were still guests, sorry hey." ”
Rou Yunting shook his head helplessly, and said to Shangguan Sanren: "This is my second daughter, named Rou Wan'er. Then he turned his head to Rou Wan'er and said, "These three are the envoys from the He family, you should have seen that child when you were a child, He Xuansheng, the son of Lao He." ”
Rou Wan'er suddenly realized: "Oh, I remember, I saw you when I was a child." Do you remember me?"
He Xuansheng scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I, I can't remember." ”
"Well, I was a kid when I saw you. If I'm not mistaken, you'll be fifteen years old this year, and I'm fifteen years old too, but I'm younger than you, so you still call me sister!" Rou Wan'er quipped.
