The gray-clothed man hung far behind him, probably dozens of feet behind, and his hiding was very hidden, until he watched Xu Jingtian walk into a large mansion compound. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The man in gray looked at Dongfang Mansion from afar, he carefully observed for a long time, and did not find the existence of the person he was afraid of, so he walked towards Dongfang Mansion. He thought in his heart that as long as he didn't use spiritual power, the people he was afraid of should not be able to detect him.

"Stop!" Before the man in gray could approach the gate of Dongfang Mansion, he was stopped by one of the family members.

The man in gray looked at his outstretched arm and frowned, if it was normal, he would have slapped that arm in one fell swoop, but in the end he endured it for a while, and quickly squeezed out a smile.

"This is Dongfang Mansion, who are you who dare to break into it?" The man glanced at the man in gray, his face full of disdain.

The gray-clothed man hurriedly returned the salute and said, "This little brother, I was reckless just now, and I won't tell you that when I first arrived in your mansion, I really had something to ask for." ”

The family raised his head and looked at him arrogantly, and said, "It's really unfortunate, there is something important in the house today, if there is anything, let's wait until tomorrow!"

This is the eviction order, and the family is about to leave after speaking, and he doesn't give the man in gray a chance to speak at all.

Although the gray-clothed man hated it so much, he couldn't show it, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said: "I came from afar, seeing that it is getting dark, and I haven't found a place to stay, I want to come to your mansion to borrow a night, and I hope it will be convenient." ”

As he spoke, the man in gray took out a piece of silver from his bosom, about four or five taels, and stuffed it into the hands of the family.

The family was stunned for a moment, afraid that the other few people would see it, so he hurriedly put it into his arms, thinking that I should make a small fortune today, and if I see a suspicious person in the future, I will rush to the front of everyone. Seeing that this man in gray is so generous, he has to extort a sum of money.

The housekeeper pretended to be a little embarrassed, and said to the man in gray: "Your guest doesn't know, if you usually stay overnight, let alone one night, it is ten days and a half months, and my master will agree." There is something important going on in the house today, and it seems that you are going to be disappointed. ”

The gray-clothed people were overjoyed, deliberately pretending not to know, and asked in a low voice: "Oh, looking at the lights up and down your mansion, do you have to do any happy event?"

When the family heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, and talked eloquently: "You really guessed right, it is our eldest lady who came back from Xianzong today." Immortal Sect, have you heard of it, it is the Seven Great Immortal Sects of the Purple Han Kingdom......"

In the end, the family realized that he had lost his words, hurriedly stopped, peeked around, and then put his mind at ease.

"Oh, that's right. Can you be accommodating, I still have it here?" said the man in gray, and stuffed a large ingot of silver into his bosom, which was as much as ten taels, and made the family smile with joy.

"You wait here first, and I'll go and talk to the chief manager. ”

The family went away with him, but the gray-clothed man's face changed, and he looked coldly at Dongfang Mansion.

After a while, the family came out of it, with an unhappy face, and said to the gray-clothed man: "Our chief manager said that there is something important in the house, and we will not spend the night today." I said all the good things, but the manager didn't agree. He said as he observed the face of the man in gray, "Actually...... Actually......"

Of course, the man in gray understood what this person meant, and secretly cursed in his heart, and stuffed a silver ingot into his hand, "What's the difficulty of the little brother, just say it." ”

The family smiled embarrassedly and said, "My Qian Jingyi is not greedy for your silver, but my residence is a little shabby, if you don't dislike it......"

It turned out that this person's name was Qian Jingyi, and the gray-clothed man thought, he really loves money, and he will definitely ask you to spit it out ten times in the future, but he still said gratefully on his face: "Thank you, little brother, as long as you can stay overnight, where do you dare to dislike it." ”

Qian Jingyi smiled all the way and carefully led the gray-clothed man into Dongfang Mansion.

Besides, Xu Jingtian returned to Dongfang Mansion, and the huge doorpost at the entrance of the mansion was full of festive things, and people who came in and out were also full of joy.

Feelings, the eldest lady of the Dongfang family has returned? The moment he didn't see her enter the mansion with his own eyes, Xu Jingtian felt a little lost.

"Ahem, what are you doing in a daze, don't you see that everyone is busy?" Xu Jingtian had just walked into the courtyard, and the chief manager of the mansion yelled at him.

I don't blame Xu Jingtian for being too blind, it's just that he is still immersed in loss, and he didn't notice that the whole house was in a hurry, and he didn't know what was arranged, so he stayed there alone.

"Oh, the boss, didn't you already order the things that should be busy a few days ago, and they have already been prepared, what are you busy with?" Xu Jingtian asked puzzled.

Could it be that this Dongfang Siyu is not satisfied after he comes back, and he wants to rearrange the whole house? The young lady of the big family is just difficult to serve, Xu Jingtian thought.

"What are you going to do, it's not for you to worry about it! Go and go, quickly set up the horses and come over to help, there are not enough people here. The manager looked impatient and didn't bother to explain to Xu Jingtian.

Although they are all servants of the Dongfang family, the chief manager follows the surname Dongfang, and he is superior to them who do rough work, so of course he will not take him seriously.

"Okay!" Verbally, Xu Jingtian secretly stuck out his tongue as he walked towards the stable.

"Hey, Zhao Jingcai, what are you doing moving such a big piece of wood?" Xu Jingtian arranged the horses, and finally pulled a familiar one among the busy figures of everyone.

"Hey, Xu Jingtian, hurry up and help!" The one who was called Zhao Jingcai, who was grinning because of the thick wood, was overjoyed when he saw him coming.

"Then what are you busy with, it's not going to build a big building, right?" Xu Jingtian still asked. So he worked as a coolie, though the wood was heavy enough to be of course to him.

"Oh, you're not stupid, you're going to set up a ring. Zhao Jingcai teased him.

"What are you doing in the ring?" Xu Jingtian wondered, did he want to watch Dongfang Siyu perform the sect's immortal arts?

"Bring your ears and I'll tell you again. Zhao Jingcai whispered mysteriously.

"Okay. The more he was like this, the more curious Xu Jingtian became, so he had to lean closer to his ears.

"I heard that there is going to be a martial arts competition?" Zhao Jingcai deliberately lowered his voice.

"Martial arts, what kind of martial arts?"

"What else can you compete, of course, it is a competition among the children of the East, do you still want to compete?" Zhao Jingcai still did not forget to tease him.

"Isn't the martial arts competition only held once a year at the beginning of the year? It's only been a few months, why do you have to hold a martial arts competition again?" Xu Jingtian was puzzled.

In order to preserve the century-old foundation, the Dongfang family encouraged the children of the clan to practice martial arts diligently, and set a rule that martial arts competitions should be held every year to reward those outstanding children.

"This is no ordinary joust. Zhao Jingcai looked around and confirmed that no one was paying attention before saying, "I only heard that the top few in the martial arts competition can be sent to practice immortal arts together with the eldest lady!"

"Cultivating immortal arts with Dongfang Siyu?" Xu Jingtian almost shouted in surprise.

"Shhh

"Hehe, yes, it doesn't have much to do with us. Xu Jingtian sneered. He said this, but in his heart, he thought that if he could go to the sect to cultivate with Dongfang Siyu, then wouldn't he be able to go to his father and mother soon.

Night slowly fell, and the entire Dongfang Mansion was shrouded in red, and the whole mansion was still busy.

Of course, Qian Jingyi, the family member, was also among them, and a person quietly walked out of his dilapidated house, and this person was the gray-clothed man who secretly followed Xu Jingtian back.

He was nimble, shuttling through the roof walls of the Oriental Mansion, like a ghost, and disappeared into the night in a short time.

When he reappeared, the man in gray came to a large and majestic house and stopped. The inside was brightly lit, and you could vaguely see a few people walking around the house.

The man in gray leaned quietly against the blue brick wall, listening intently, and the sound of conversation in the room immediately drifted into his ears word for word.

"The three places given by the Brahma Sect this time are an excellent opportunity, and we in the Oriental family must cherish it. Therefore, we must select the young disciples with the most potential. A powerful voice said, showing that the speaker had extremely high martial arts.

"Second brother, why does it have to be a young man?" asked a stout male voice, with some dissatisfaction in his voice.

"Big brother, you don't know this, young people have strong blood, and they have the potential to cultivate. And although we are strong in martial arts, our bodies have already begun to decline, and we will only become more and more inadequate, and we are not suitable for cultivation at all. Therefore, I proposed that the younger generation of the clan have a martial arts competition, everything depends on strength, and the top three are the candidates recommended by the Dongfang family!" explained the man in front.

"No, no, no, I object, what you said about the top three in the competition, we definitely can't do it!" said the stout male voice.

"Big brother, the martial arts competition I am talking about is the fairest for the Eastern Disciples, only in this way can we select the best candidates from among the younger generation, I wonder what the other elders think?" The person in front of him spoke in a firm tone.

There was only the soft coughing of a few old men, and then there was a dullness in the room, apparently a few people were making an unpleasant noise.

"Big brother, the method of this martial arts competition is not aimed at Feng'er. I also grew up seeing this kid, and we know each other very well about him. If it's about character, virtue, and intelligence, which one do you think Feng'er can handle?" the man in front continued.

The stout male voice was silent, his own child knew best, he snorted halfway, and said angrily: "The second brother depends on you, you can do whatever you say, anyway, you are the head of the family!"

It turned out that the person in front of him was Dongfang Shan Zhan, and the other person was his eldest brother Dongfang Ying, who was discussing the martial arts competition with several elders in the house.

Dongfang Shanzhan softened his tone and said to everyone: "Actually, this is also the meaning of the old master, we have to obey it." ”

When everyone in the house heard this, they said in unison: "Since it is the will of the old master, we can't disobey his old man, so let's obey everything." ”

Dongfang Shanzhan said happily: "Then let's settle it like this, tomorrow we will fight the martial arts competition, and we still need the elders to take care of it." All the younger generations in the whole house, as long as they can get the top three, they are the candidates recommended by our Oriental family for the Brahma Sect. ”

When the gray-clothed man heard this, he had a general idea in his heart, it turned out that Dongfang Mansion was making such a big fuss for the sake of the three Brahma Sect places, so he had already thought of a countermeasure. He slowly took a few steps back, dodged a few times, and then disappeared.
