On the periphery of an endless black mountain range, a young man was shirtless beside a clear pool, practicing a set of boxing techniques, the fist wind was whistling, and it looked quite imposing.

The boy was about sixteen years old, with long black hair neatly tied up on his head, and his appearance was slightly immature, but his purple eyes exuded an unusual bewitching and resolute look.

The movement of the punch looks so perfect, but it always seems that there is a trace of agility in the fist.

The sun is setting in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun is about to dissipate.

"It's almost time, it's time to go home. Looking at the sun gradually setting in the sky, the boy wiped his sweat and said with a smile.

The young man's name is Zhong Yi, and he is the eldest young master of the Zhong family, one of the three major families in April City, and he usually cultivates on the periphery of the Black Rock Mountain Range next to the city.

"Shh

Zhong Yi got dressed and whistled, and the whistle sounded all around.

After a few breaths, a cute black puppy rushed out of the cave by the clear pond, rolling up a slight amount of dust, and the speed was amazing.

"Xiaobai, I'm leaving, I'll come back tomorrow. Zhong Yi said with the puppy.

"Wangwang"

The puppy named Xiaobai bit Zhong Yi's trouser leg and barked, obviously reluctant to let Zhong Yi leave.

"Okay, okay, you do that every time you want to leave, and I'll be back tomorrow. Zhong Yi squatted down, touched Xiaobai's head, and said with a smile.

"Wang"

Xiao Bai shouted again, glanced at Zhong Yi reluctantly, and then ran back to the cave.

"I don't know why my father didn't allow me to take Xiaobai home. Zhong Yi shook his head, and then walked towards the west side of Qingtan.

The road was full of trees and steep slopes, and the trees seemed very lush, but there was an air of silence here, and there was no sound around it, except for the footsteps of Zhong Yi.

This place is located in the outermost part of the Black Rock Mountain Range, and there are many dangerous mysterious beasts in the Black Rock Mountain Range, which is extremely terrifying as the only two mysterious beast gathering places in the Chuyun Country.

And Zhong Yi's matinee cultivation place has never appeared in the mysterious beast, and he has never been to anyone else, which makes Zhong Yi a little puzzled, after a long time, Zhong Yi will get used to it.

After walking for about half an hour, a noise could be faintly heard on the other side of the road.

Walking out of the mountains, a slightly dilapidated city wall is not far away.

"April City", this is the name of this weather-beaten city, the walls of the city remain a series of burning stones, the traces of powerful bombardment, constantly showing the horror it once suffered and its tenacity.

Approaching the city gate, the four soldiers guarding at the gate immediately straightened up when they saw Zhong Yi, and said respectfully, "Young Master Zhong is good."

"Uh-huh"

Zhong Yi responded with a smile.

Seeing Zhong Yi gradually walking away, the two soldiers glanced at each other, and one of the slightly chubby soldiers sighed: "Young Master Zhong is really diligent, he will go to the Black Rock Mountain Range to cultivate every morning and afternoon, and never give up, it's not very safe there." ”

Another tall soldier also continued: "Yes, Young Master Zhong is also very good to us inferior people, and there is no young master at all, but it's a pity that ......"

When the fat soldier heard this, his expression also dimmed, and he sighed lightly.

The pedestrians on the road were bustling, in groups, Zhong Yi walked in it alone, I don't know why, Zhong Yi's back felt quite lonely.

Unconsciously, a gorgeous mansion appeared in front of Zhong Yi. "Zhong Mansion", this is Zhong Yi's family, the Zhong family, one of the three major families in April City.

Walking in Zhong's Mansion, every servant who met Zhong Yi on the road would greet Zhong Yi respectfully, but when they looked at Zhong Yi, they invariably had a trace of sigh and pity in their eyes.

Zhong Yi has never had any fights with those servants, and he often helps some people in need, so his reputation has always been very good, and everyone respects him very much.

The Zhong family is divided into two courtyards, the outer courtyard is mostly where the side disciples live, while the inner courtyard is mostly the main line and core disciples.

When he walked to the entrance of the inner courtyard, several teenagers came to him, led by a young man of about eighteen years old, who was dressed very extraordinarily and handsome, but there was a slight coldness in his eyes, which added a bit of fierceness to his appearance.

This person's name is Zhong Shan, and he is the second son of Zhong Yi's second uncle Zhong Yunfeng, and the next few teenagers are people with some branches, and they were able to enter the inner courtyard because of Zhong Shan.

"Yo, isn't this our Zhong family's eldest young master Zhong Yi, why, you went to the Black Rock Mountain Range to cultivate again, you really have the courage, it's like this every day, maybe you won't be able to come back one day." The young man on Zhong Shan's left looked at Zhong Yi and sneered disdainfully, without any respect for the son of Zhong Yi's family master.

"Hahaha, it's not, but an ordinary person like him who can't practice any exercises, once he encounters a mysterious beast, it will be a dead end. ”

"Hey, with a waste like him, how can he compare with our Young Master Zhongshan?"

"Yes, yes, our Young Master Zhongshan is already about to condense his qi for nine years, and he is known as the third genius of our Zhong family, and he will definitely be a generation of powerhouses in our April City in the future" Several other people also echoed together, their words full of ridicule.

Several people talked about contempt and disdain, but Zhong Yi didn't react, just calmly watched them perform alone.

"Enough. ”

The object that was praised by everyone, the so-called third day of the Zhong family, Zhong Shan, looked at Zhong Yi without a reaction, and couldn't help but snort.

"Cut"

Looking at Zhong Yi, Zhong Shan said, "Don't compare this useless person with me, he is not worthy." Although his tone was very disdainful, Zhong Shan's eyes had a hint of pride.

As soon as the words fell, Zhong Shan walked past him with several of his servants.

"Oh, is this still the former genius of our Zhong family, why don't you say a word, you won't train your brain stupidly, hahaha!" When passing by Zhong Yi, several servants did not forget to ridicule Zhong Yi.

After they walked away, Zhong Yi calmly continued to walk forward.

Quietly walked through two green bamboo forests, in front of a very luxurious house, the door of the three big characters "family master's house" is written, this is Zhong Yi's residence.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a middle-aged man sitting at the dining table in the main hall. With a burly figure and a good face, although he is dressed in cloth, he can feel a trace of anger and self-authority, this is Zhong Yi's father Zhong Yuncheng.

"Father, I'm back. After nodding to his father and saying hello, Zhong Yi walked to the dining table to dine with his father. Every time Zhong Yi came back in the afternoon, it was just at the time of lunch.

Zhong Yi's father, Zhong Yuncheng, is the current head of the Zhong family, and he is also the only strong general in the Zhong family that Zhong Yi knows.

"Still practicing boxing today?" Zhong Yuncheng said as he looked at Zhong Yi.

"Well, every morning I do basic training, and in the afternoon I have been practicing the five decisions that my father taught me. Zhong Yi nodded and replied.

Then Zhong Yi inadvertently showed decadence in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "It's just that I can't cultivate... What's the use of practicing this so-called Five Heaven-Breaking Decisions? Without Xuan Li, it is still useless. ”

Zhong Yuncheng listened to Zhong Yi's words, pondered for a long time and said, "In this case, you should read more books on management in the future, I have decided to hand over the family's weapon pavilion to you to manage when you become an adult." ”

"But isn't that an industry that only the heirs of the family can manage?" Zhong Yi said in surprise, the family's weapons pavilion stored all the weapons produced by the family, and mastering it was equivalent to holding one of the lifeblood of the family's assets, and it also occupied a voice in the family, which has always been the heir of the family that only the heirs of the family are qualified to control.

"It's okay, I still have this right. Zhong Yuncheng said with a chuckle.

Looking at Zhong Yuncheng, who looked very relaxed, Zhong Yi knew that the matter of the family heir had always been discussed by the elders of the family and the head of the family, and what kind of people the elders of the family were, Zhong Yi knew in his heart.

My father must have paid a lot of price for making this decision, but he couldn't do anything about it at all, and a sense of powerlessness came to his heart, making Zhong Yixian a little silent.

As if knowing Zhong Yi's thoughts, Zhong Yuncheng comforted: "Xiao Yi, you don't have to worry about the trouble that your inability to cultivate has caused me, because my wish is just to hope that you can live this life in peace." ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhong Yi nodded lightly, and didn't say anything, now he still didn't understand what his father's wish was......
