Chapter 527: The Grand Meeting of the Ancient Martial Realm
Early the next morning, Ye Xuan and Zhou Xinya woke up from their beds.
After the two of them finished washing, and as soon as they left the courtyard gate, they received a notice from the servants of the house, saying that the head of the house had invited them over for breakfast.
Ye Xuan and Zhou Xinya glanced at each other, and at the same time showed a helpless smile.
Originally, they came over this time, just to visit Zhou Xinya's grandfather, and after reading it, the two of them went back to Huahai, but now it seems that things may not be so simple.
"Let's go, I already rejected your uncle once last night, after all, he is the head of the family, and he still has to give a little face. Facing the woman's inquiring eyes, Ye Xuan said with a smile.
Zhou Xinya snorted and walked towards the dining hall side by side with Ye Xuan.
On a round table at the top of the canteen, Zhou Zhanlong was already sitting there, with three bowls of white rice porridge on the table, and a few stacks of delicious side dishes that had just been fried in the middle.
And there was no one in the entire canteen except Zhou Zhanlong.
At this moment, when he saw Ye Xuan and Zhou Xinya, he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, Xinya, come and sit." โ
As he spoke, he stood up to greet him.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan and Zhou Xinya hurriedly stepped forward and sat down, in the end, how could they make the elders so attentive.
"Master Zhou, if you have anything, just say it directly, as long as I can do it, I will help. โ
Ye Xuan took a sip of the porridge bowl, and when he saw Zhou Zhanlong's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he finally couldn't help asking.
Zhou Zhanlong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Ye......"
"It's good for the head of the Zhou family to call me Ye Xuan, no matter what you say, you are also Xinya's uncle, calling me Mr. Ye, it always sounds weird. Ye Xuan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhou Zhanlong didn't twist, and said directly: "Okay, I'll take advantage of it and call you Ye Xuan!"
"Ye Xuan, although I don't know when you and Xinya were together, but in the final analysis, you still know what it means to have children, since you have decided to choose each other, then I, as an uncle, naturally won't say anything. โ
"But I wonder when you're going to get married?"
"Poofโโ!
As soon as Zhou Zhanlong's words fell, Ye Xuan squirted out a mouthful of porridge in his mouth, splashing Zhou Zhanlong's body.
Zhou Zhanlong's face stiffened for a while, and he looked at Ye Xuan with a strange expression.
Zhou Xinya pursed her lips and chuckled, not caring about the two of them, but drinking the white porridge in the bowl elegantly.
Immediately after, Ye Xuan reacted, hurriedly picked up the paper towel on the dining table, and wiped Zhou Zhanlong's clothes.
While wiping, he smiled dryly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, come on, come on, I'll help you wipe it clean." โ
"It's okay, I'll do it myself. โ
Zhou Zhanlong snatched the tissue in Ye Xuan's hand and wiped it for himself.
"It's my question that is too abrupt, you are still young, and it is no wonder that you will be frightened when you mention marriage at this time. โ
Ye Xuan touched his nose, sat back in his seat, and said embarrassedly: "Master Zhou, it's not that the problem is too abrupt, but that Xinya and I really don't have this idea at the moment, and I can't help but be surprised when you suddenly ask." โ
"It's just that why did the head of the Zhou family suddenly ask this?" Ye Xuan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Zhou Zhanlong was silent for a while before he said, "Ye Xuan, you are not from the Guwu family, you may not know about the Guwu family. โ
"In fact, these ancient martial arts families in China, every ten years, will hold a large-scale martial arts exchange event, the purpose of the event is to exchange martial arts experience, learn kung fu, and confirm growth. โ
"But to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than some powerful families who have emerged at the grand event to announce their status and show their strength to the entire ancient martial arts circle in China. โ
"And after the grand event, all the Guwu families in Huaxia will be ranked. โ
"The top ten families will select the strongest children in the clan to form a team and go to the international arena to fight against those talented people abroad!"
Hearing this, Ye Xuan's face couldn't help but show surprise, and he said: "I didn't expect that there was such a big thing in the ancient martial arts world, I really haven't heard of it, but what does this matter have to do with my marriage to Xinya?"
Zhou Zhanlong was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "That, if you get married, Xinya will be your Ye family, not my Zhou family, and when the grand event starts, we will not elect her." โ
"But if you are not married, then it is very likely that she will represent our Zhou family at the grand event. โ
"After all, you also know that Xinya's strength is the strongest in the Zhou family today, not only the younger generation, but even us old guys are not as good as her, if she can participate in the event, she will definitely be able to make a name for the Zhou family. โ
Hearing this, before Ye Xuan could speak, Zhou Xinya's indifferent voice had already sounded.
"Second uncle, no matter whether I marry Ye Xuan or not, I won't go to this grand event. โ
"Why?"
Zhou Zhanlong was puzzled: "Xinya, although our Zhou family is only at the bottom of the ancient martial arts world, and even many people think that we are not an ancient martial arts family, but many years ago, the Zhou family was also a big family in the ancient martial arts world!"
"If it weren't for the changes that happened back then, how could our Zhou family have fallen to Xiangcheng and live here, do you know that every new head of the Zhou family did the first thing he did when he took over the position of head of the family?"
"What?" Zhou Xinya couldn't help but ask, aroused by curiosity.
"In front of all the ancestors and ancestors, I swore to revive the Zhou family and let the Zhou family return to the level it was back then!" Zhou Zhanlong said word by word with a serious face.
When he said this, Ye Xuan and Zhou Xinya could both feel the firmness and seriousness in his tone.
But Zhou Xinya was only surprised for a while, then lowered her head and said: "Second uncle, but what does this have to do with me, although I am the Zhou family, how can this kind of revival of the entire family be done by one or two people?"
Hearing this, Zhou Zhanlong was anxious!
He said in a deep voice, "Xinya, you can't think like that!"
"Your current strength is unmatched in the Zhou family, and it can even be said that in recent generations of the Zhou family, no one is stronger than you, you have given our Zhou family hope, you really have a chance to revive the Zhou family!"
Zhou Xinya frowned, her voice was a little colder, and she said, "Second uncle, if you just call me and Ye Xuan to have breakfast, then we are already full, if there is nothing else, then we will go to visit grandpa." โ
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xinya stood up from the dining table, she grabbed Ye Xuan's hand, turned around and walked out.
Ye Xuan was still biting a steamed bun in his mouth, and was violently dragged by the woman, almost sitting on the ground with his ass.
He was pulled out by Zhou Xinya, and said as he walked: "Xinya, you slow down, I still want to eat another bun!"
Zhou Xinya rolled her eyes angrily, and said angrily: "Don't eat it, we'll go out to buy it when we're hungry, get out of here first!"
As she spoke, she ignored Ye Xuan's complaining expression, and dragged him out of the dining hall stiffly, leaving Zhou Zhanlong to sit there alone, sighing for a long time.
On the way to the backyard of the Zhou Mansion, Ye Xuan glanced at the woman's indifferent pretty face, and chuckled: "Xinya, why did you reject your second uncle's proposal, I think this matter is quite interesting." โ
Zhou Xinya's expression fluctuated slightly, she didn't stop, but said as she walked: "Ye Xuan, I just told you before that my parents died a long time ago, but do you know how they died?"
Looking at the woman's face with a thick sense of pain, Ye Xuan quickly reacted.
The death of Zhou Xinya's parents must be inseparable from this so-called event.
At this moment, he can't wait to slap himself, it's really a pot that can't be opened, he has nothing to ask why is this doing, it's just inexplicable!
Retracting his thoughts, Ye Xuan held the woman's soft jade hand and said softly: "Xinya, don't be sad, I don't ask!"
Zhou Xinya turned her head to look at the man, she bit her lip, and said disagreeingly: "Bastard, you have brought back unhappy memories, don't you want me to say it, I don't care, I must say it!"
"Okay, okay, you say it. Ye Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, ready to listen patiently to the woman's story.
Zhou Xinya snorted with satisfaction.
Immediately, her expression became sad again, and she organized her language for a long time before she said: "My father back then was also the one with the highest talent and the strongest strength in the Zhou family!"
