The golden hall is magnificent, and it will not be crowded if you sit hundreds of people. Now there are only a dozen or so people sitting in it, and it inevitably seems a little empty.

At this moment, a man outside the temple suddenly walked briskly, whispering something in the ear of the person at the top.

"Let him in. The man at the top looked happy.

"Yes. The man took the command and departed.

"Second brother, it's rare to see you smile like this, what's the matter?" the person on the side said curiously.

"What can happen, our nephew has come to see us. The man laughed.

"Oh my God, I thought he would stay with Xiaoqiu for two days before he came. The man next to him also smiled and looked out of the hall.

"Something's wrong. The man above smiled and shook his head, and looked up to see the figure outside the door.

Shangguan Zhengtian walked in quickly, and only the three people near the middle were in his eyes, and the rest of them were not in his eyes.

"Three uncles, Tian'er has only come to greet you now, it's too rude. ”

"Then let's do what we agreed first. As for those things that are in contention, we will discuss them another day. ”

The man above looked at the rest of the people, and his words were no different from driving people out. Even if someone wants to stay and speak coldly to Shangguan Zhengtian, they have to take care of the face of the person above.

Those few people glanced at Shangguan Zhengtian, with a sneer on the corner of their mouths, and without saying a word, they left the hall one after another.

"Oh my God, don't pay attention to them. The voice on the side comforted, for fear that he would feel uncomfortable.

Shangguan Zhengtian looked at the three people in front of him, Shangguan Xiong sitting in the middle, Shangguan Lie and Shangguan Yu on the left and right. These three closest people were looking at him with a concerned gaze, and all kinds of blinks in the past flowed through his heart, and for a while, Shangguan Zhengtian didn't know how to speak.

"Sit down. Shangguan Lie spoke up.

Poof!

Shangguan Zhengtian suddenly knelt down in front of the three of them.

"Oh my God, what are you doing here!"

Shangguan Zhengtian's sudden kneeling surprised the three of them, and even showed a nervous look. Together with the person at the top, he hurriedly stepped down from the seat and wanted to pull Shangguan Zhengtian up.

"Tian'er, what are you doing when you get up and speak?" Shangguan Xiong reprimanded in a stern voice.

"Three uncles, the nephew didn't understand things and did things recklessly, and he threw away his responsibilities and only cared about what he wanted. The three uncles have not given up half a cent over the years, and now that they think about it, the nephew is ashamed. This kneeling is deserved. ”

The three of them were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and each laughed.

Shangguan Xiong no longer pulled Shangguan Zhengtian, the smile on his face quickly disappeared, he sighed, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, Tian'er has grown up, it's really big......"

Shangguan Yu was confused and didn't know what to think.

Shangguan Lie even kicked Shangguan Zhengtian in the back, scolding and scolding: "Stinky boy, as soon as you come back, you will make our third brother cry, who did you learn from?"

Shangguan Zhengtian also didn't expect the three uncles to react so much, and couldn't help but say: "Over the years, the three uncles must have been very bitter." ”

"You kid......" Shangguan Lie pointed at Shangguan Zhengtian, shook his head and laughed, and put his hand over his eyes with a smile.

"God, get up. Shangguan Ambition's mood has calmed down a lot, and he pulled Shangguan Zhengtian to get up.

Shangguan Zhengtian did not insist this time and stood up obediently.

"It's a lot higher. Shangguan Xiong patted Shangguan Zhengtian on the shoulder and pointed to the position next to Shangguan Lie, "Sit down." ”

Shangguan Zhengtian sat there, quietly watching the three uncles pretend to hold their foreheads and actually wipe their tears.

After a while, the three of them looked at Shangguan Zhengtian again.

"Tian'er, what happened when you came back this time?" Shangguan Xiong asked.

"Yes. Shangguan Zhengtian nodded, "But before that, I want to know what the situation of our vein is?"

"It's all trivial, don't mention it. Shangguan Xiong waved his hand, very unconcerned, "Tell me about you." ”

Shangguan Xiong didn't say anything, and Shangguan Zhengtian didn't ask anymore, he changed the topic and said: "Some time ago, several clans fought against the Great Wilderness and obtained a lot of things in it. ”

At this time, Shangguan Yu spoke: "It's true, at that time, I also specially inquired if there was any magic medicine used by Xiaoqiu, but it's a pity that ......"

"What?"

"It's not the same, at that time, the people of several tribes saw the Golden Spirit Fruit Tree, but unfortunately let it escape, and I don't know where to go, and those tribes only got a few branches. ”

Shangguan Yu sighed, but Shangguan Zhengtian breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good." ”

"What?" The three of them looked at each other suspiciously, Shangguan Zhengtian smiled, and picked up the previous things and said a little.

Rao is like this, and the three of them are also shocked.

"I used to complain that those people were too wasteful, but now I hope that the fruit tree will escape as far away as possible. Shangguan Yu laughed.

Shangguan Zhengtian smiled, did not speak, and immediately asked, as if he suddenly thought of something, "I remember that the annual clan competition is in the late spring and early summer. ”

"Well, that's good. Tian'er is planning to fight on our behalf?" Shangguan Xiong asked.

Shangguan Zhengtian hesitated for a moment and asked, "I don't know who played in our vein a few years ago, and what is the ranking?"

"Since you left, Xian'er has been fighting on my behalf. It's just that the ranking is not so ideal. Shangguan Xiong replied.

Shangguan Xian'er, Shangguan Xiong's daughter, the only daughter.

"It's her......" Shangguan Zhengtian jumped out of the figure of a stubborn little girl in his mind.

"Then the resources allocated in the past few years will not be very good. Shangguan Zhengtian sighed in his heart, but he reluctantly spoke: "The three uncles forgive me, Xiaoqiu's affairs have not yet been settled, and the nephew really has no intention of staying for a long time." ”

"It's okay, after you leave the family, we don't have anyone in the line to focus on cultivating, relying on the resources allocated by the ranking, it doesn't seem so important. Shangguan Xiong said with a smile, with a hint of bitterness.

"It's just that Xian'er, that kid is too ......stubborn," Shangguan Yu sighed.

"What's wrong with Sister Xian'er?" Shangguan Zhengtian was stunned for a moment.

Shangguan Zhengtian's impression of Shangguan Xian'er was still a few years ago, and he was the same age, but he was a few days apart, so he took advantage of his "brother". The two often fight together, and they follow each other inseparably, even if Shangguan Zhengtian practices and practices swords, Shangguan Xian'er often stays on the sidelines and watches.

Suddenly, a thought jumped into Shangguan Zhengtian's mind: If Sister Xian'er was by her side that year, she should be desperate to stand in front of me, right?

"When she was younger, she looked to you as a role model. After you left, she locked herself in the house for three whole days, without a drop of water. Shangguan Lie sighed, "After she came out, she never mentioned you again, except for resting every day, it is practice." A few years like a day. ”

Shangguan Zhengtian's heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is she?"

"The hill you used to go to when you used to practice swords. Shangguan Yu replied.

Shangguan Zhengtian didn't even say anything about retreating, and immediately turned around and walked out.

The secluded trail winds through the forest, crosses a small river, passes through a forest, and stops halfway up the mountain. Further up, there are layers of stone stairs leading to the top of the mountain.

There were no flowers or grass on the mountain, only a flat and solid earth platform that had been trampled on, and a girl in black was wielding a sword here, sword after sword, connecting into a piece of light and shadow, like a blooming flower.

The girl's long sword was sheathed, and the sound of the sword here was endless, and it took three breaths before it quieted down.

There was a sound of footsteps on the side, and the girl did not turn around, but said, "Just put the food there." ”

When the man heard this, he stopped there, and seemed to have no intention of leaving, and the girl couldn't help frowning, and looked there, and said at the same time, "How ...... you?"

Halfway through the words, the girl couldn't say any more, her voice was stuck in her throat, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it quickly turned calm again.

The person who came was Shangguan Zhengtian, and the girl turned her head back and wouldn't look at him. After a few breaths, he asked, "Why are you here?"

The voice was a little colder, for example.

Shangguan Zhengtian was bitter in his heart, but he didn't know how to speak, he hadn't seen him for many years, Shangguan Xian'er had almost changed her appearance, slim, long hair fluttering, accompanied by a cold voice, which added a little strangeness. Shangguan Zhengtian opened his mouth several times, but in the end he only called softly: "Sister Xian'er......"

"Are you going to participate in this family competition? The girl raised her sword and asked indifferently.

"No, I'm just coming to see you. It may be two or three days before it leaves. ”

"Oh, since you've seen it, don't bother me. The girl's back was to Shangguan Zhengtian, the long sword was unsheathed, and the sword flower reappeared in front of the girl.

Shangguan Zhengtian was silent for a moment, and walked straight to the opposite of the girl, who pretended not to see and waved her sword.

I never thought that Shangguan Zhengtian stabbed with a sword!

"You!" the girl glared angrily.

"Is this the sword you practiced?" Shangguan Zhengtian asked.

The girl's sword light flashed, blocking Shangguan Zhengtian's sword, her body fluttered, approaching him at great speed, the tip of the sword arced in the air, and pointed straight at the center of Shangguan Zhengtian's eyebrows.

"Weak to hold the sword, too slow to swing the sword, only care about beauty but lose the original intention!" Shangguan Zhengtian reprimanded coldly.

The girl's heart burst with anger, and her swordsmanship became faster and faster, and the blade of the sword brought a strong wind and stirred up a circle of dust.

"The hand holding the sword is firm enough to block the counterattack, the more silent the sword, the faster the sword will be, the sword is born to kill, the more aware of this, the more you can perceive the sword intent. ”

Every point Shangguan Zhengtian said, he did it. Shangguan Xian'er only felt a shock to her wrist, and the long sword became difficult to control, and then a burst of coldness penetrated her whole body, like a white rabbit being besieged by a jackal, and there was a trance in front of her, I don't know when the sharp blade in Shangguan Zhengtian's hand was already on her neck.

He still left himself far behind, and it was difficult to look back. It's just that unlike the worship when she was young, the girl's heart is full of grievances.

The tears could no longer be suppressed, and they poured out like a broken embankment.

Shangguan Zhengtian walked over with a complicated expression: "Xian'er, do you hate me?"

"You go, I don't want to see you!" the girl wanted to deal with him.

Shangguan Zhengtian shook his head and smiled bitterly, he wiped his tears for the girl, and said softly: "I left in a bad mood that year, I am really sorry for you." But now that I have to re-elect, I still choose to leave. I don't have a choice. ”

The girl slapped Shangguan Zhengtian's hand and turned her back, not wanting him to see her crying.

Shangguan Zhengtian was silent, looking at her so quietly. Watch her cry fade away, watch her wipe away her tears, watch her turn around.

"Actually...... I didn't hate you. The girl said with red eyes, her tone no longer so cold.

"Huh?" Shangguan Zhengtian was a little puzzled.

"I know about Sister Xiaoqiu, if I had to choose, I would also make a general choice with you. The girl paused, "I just hate myself." ”

In Shangguan Zhengtian's surprised eyes, the girl continued: "You are the eldest son of the eldest uncle's family, and I am the eldest daughter of your second uncle's family. We have the same resources, but you can be a dragon in the clouds, and I'm just a finch in the woods......"

The girl's voice grew deeper and deeper, and finally fell silent.

"Maybe your talent isn't swordsmanship?" Shangguan Zhengtian comforted.

The girl squeezed out a smile and did not speak.

"Sister Xian'er, don't take it to heart if I reprimanded you just now. In fact, you are better than most of your peers, and your cultivation is not blindly ascetic. ”

The girl shook her head: "Compared to you, I am much worse. When I was younger, I thought it would be nice to be behind you, and someone would shelter me from the wind and rain. Now I realize that I am the eldest daughter, and I also have to protect others from the rain. ”

Looking at the girl's serious eyes, Shangguan Zhengtian stopped talking.

After a little muttering, Shangguan Zhengtian spoke again: "This kind of cultivation has little effect, follow me." ”

Shangguan Zhengtian ignored the girl's struggle and pulled her down the mountain.

"What are you doing?"

"Speak for you, stand up!"
