Early the next morning, after breakfast, Wu Zhong took his belongings and prepared to set off. It's just that the two little turtles didn't follow, and they also kept the corpse king's skull.

"This time you go to Lanling, it is inconvenient for us to follow, after all, we are the descendants of the ancient Xuanwu, if someone knows the details, it will cause you trouble. And this corpse king's skull is even more, once it is known, the Lanling Xiao clan will definitely not tolerate you. Xuanbai said.

Wu Zhong looked at the old man who was cleaning on the side. During this time, Wu Zhong watched the old man recover well, although he still didn't remember what happened before, but his physical condition was getting better day by day. Thinking that he was leaving, he was really a little reluctant, and he was also a little worried about the old man.

Looking at Wu Zhong's appearance, Xuan Bai knew in his heart what he was worried about: "Don't worry, I will take care of him here, and I can also take him around in normal times." ”

"You don't scare people to death like this. Wu Zhong said with a smile, he really couldn't imagine the scene of the turtle taking the old man shopping all the time.

Xuan Bai glared at him, and turned into a chubby little boy who was less than ten years old, looking at Wu Zhong with a disdainful expression at the moment.

Wu Zhong was shocked when he saw this, he knew that Xuanbai was strange, but he didn't know that he would change.

"I'm a descendant of an ancient beast, so what's the fuss about this simple way of changing. Xuanbai said, a little blushing, plus a cherry mouth, it was cute. At this moment, Wu Zhong saw a small protrusion on his forehead, he brushed aside his white forehead hair, and a small and delicate horn suddenly appeared, and it grew up along his forehead in a crooked manner.

"What is this?" Wu Zhong said with wide eyes.

"Take away your dirty hands, Uncle Ben's tentacles are also something you can touch!" Xuan Bai slapped Wu Zhong's hand away, hid aside and hurriedly tidied up his hair, and the tentacles were hidden in his forehead.

Seeing this, Wu Zhong's original reluctance in his heart suddenly diminished a lot.

"You go there and practice hard, you can't embarrass me, if someone bullies you, you just tell me, I'll settle it for you!" Xuan Bai looked solemn, it really didn't match the cute little face, but Wu Zhong couldn't laugh.

Growing up in a welfare home, he has never received a person's advice or a person's maintenance. Whenever he sees his friends running to his parents' arms after school, whenever he hears the care from his parents on the other end of his friend's phone, whenever he sees his friends showing off how much money he got from his grandparents and grandparents for the New Year, he will silently walk away. It's not that he doesn't envy, but he is too envious, and he also expects someone to tell him to study hard, and he also expects someone to shush him and ask him for warmth, hoping that he can get the blessings of his elders in the New Year.

But this is the simplest thing for others, but it is far away and out of reach for him. So when he saw the little guy in front of him say these words, he was still very moved.

Wu Zhong looked at Xuanbai, smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”

Taking his belongings, Wu Zhong set off.

For some reason, this departure touched Wu Zhong a lot, as if it was difficult to come back. Looking at the familiar streets, the familiar crowds, and the familiar roadside vendors, I always feel that I am getting farther and farther away from myself.

He is the only one on the road ahead.

Kongjing made an appointment with him to see him off, but the familiar figure did not appear, and only received a text message: "There is something today, so I can't send it away." Be careful all the way. ”

Looking at these twelve words, Wu Zhong always felt that there was something going on, and he hoped that everything would go well.

Wu Zhong came to the station, which couldn't help but remind him of the first time he came here to study, and this time it was not the case. Thinking of this, my thoughts drifted to the clouds.

The Lanling Xiao clan has a strong influence in the secular world, and is known as a huge family that has been inherited for thousands of years. In the Lanling area, the Xiao clan has absolute influence, although it is not said that the mountain will shake the ground if you stomp your feet, but it is not much worse. The inheritance of the Xiao family in Lanling is a thousand years ago, some say that they are the descendants of Xiao He, and some say that they are the descendants of the Xiao family of the Liang Kingdom of the Southern Dynasty, each with its own sayings. The power of the Xiao clan can be seen.

Today, there are many people in front of the Xiao family, all waiting for someone to summon them inside. When Wu Zhong came here, there were already hundreds of people waiting here, and the long line was a full one or two hundred meters. Wu Zhong was the last one.

Looking up, some of the people in front of them were gearing up, some were silently reciting the mind, some were restless, and even some were sweating nervously. The list varies. Moreover, there are very few people in front of him who can cultivate higher than him, which can't help but relax in his heart.

A few hundred meters away, there is an ancient building complex, in the middle is a majestic hall like an ancient palace, around the outside of the main hall, there are thirty-six pillars, on both sides of the stone pillars, standing in uniform young people, holding a long sword, the breeze blows, fluttering to the extreme.

At the front, people were constantly being introduced into the main hall, some no longer came out, and some left dejectedly, presumably these people who left were eliminated, and those who stayed were accepted into the Xiao clan and became their disciples.

When they arrived at Wu Zhong, it was already evening, and everyone couldn't help but be a little unhappy after waiting here for a day, but they had to endure it when they thought that they could enter the Xiao clan.

"That's it for this year, everyone else is gone. ”

is about to be lined up to Wu Zhong, and I don't want people to stop accommodating it. The rest of the people couldn't help but wail all over the field, even scolding their mothers, of course, they only dared to curse in a low voice.

After the man finished speaking, before everyone could react, he turned and left, and the door in the center was closed with a "bang".

This scene was really unexpected, not to mention others, Wu Zhong was a little angry.

Isn't this a joke? They came all the way over, and before they could see each other, they said that they would no longer store it, and let everyone go back to their own homes, is this a joke?

Someone couldn't hold his breath and began to make noise: "We have come all the way here, and let us go back before we see each other, it's not fair!

After a while, a chubby middle-aged woman walked out of it, saw several people shouting, and stopped it sharply: "What are you shouting? Do you know where this is? You dare to go wild here, I think you are tired of living!"

The young young man was already angry, but when he saw that the person who came did not have a good word, he was even more angry: "Why don't you let us in? We have been waiting for a day! If we say let's go back, we will go back, it is impossible! We must give us an explanation!"

"Yes, we're going to confess!"

When the woman heard this, she smiled and said, "Oh, let me see whose little rabbit cub is so uneducated and dares to talk to me like this!" The soft whip was verdant, like a vine that had just been plucked, but it was shining all around, and at a glance it was not ordinary.

Seeing this, those people naturally didn't dare to say any more, so they had to be mute quails.

"Let me tell you, in addition to one's own cultivation, luck is also part of one's strength. You caught up with this today, and you can only say that you are unlucky. In that case, there is no reason for you to get started!" the woman said loudly, "I will stand here today, old lady, to see which of you dares to go wild! If you are obedient, go back obediently, otherwise, the old lady will definitely give you good fruit to eat!"

In the main hall, several young people were looking out through the crack in the door, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but laugh and said, "Aunt Li's temper is really hot, and these boys have suffered it now." ”

"I also said that a few days ago, you went to her house to steal turnips, saying that you were not afraid of her, but in the end, you were still whipped three times by Ziyun, and you didn't get out of bed for half a month. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy said with a wicked smile.

"Shut up, if you hadn't instigated me, I'd have gone to the tigress's house. I'll tell you, you owe me a good drink!" said another teenager.

"What are you doing sneakily?" At this moment, a voice came from behind him, and several people immediately turned around, and when they saw it, it turned out to be Xiao Xuan. The few people who were originally fighting suddenly became serious.

"Hello senior sister!"

Xiao Xuan is the youngest daughter of the head of the family, Xiao Quan, and has the title of Xiao Jiameiyu outside. At this time, she was wearing a long dress with a light green gradient color, with a white lining, a light gray belt around her waist, and long hair like ink reaching to her waist. The eyebrows are frowning, as if there is a faint heart floating in the heart, which makes people feel love and pity.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan was holding an ancient book in his hand, his eyebrows were thoughtful, looking at a few people like this, and said, "How many of you are not good at cultivating, what are you doing here?" The cold voice was like a real pearl falling on a jade plate, which was very pleasant. It's just that these people don't appreciate the mood of beauty - Xiao Xuan's strictness is well-known in the entire Xiao family.

"We were just watching the selection and didn't do anything. One of them laughed, and the other two were worried about how to fool him, and when they saw him say it, they hurriedly echoed him.

"I heard that Senior Brother Ziming's words were not good, and it involved elders. Xiao Xuan looked at the young man standing in the middle.

The young man knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so he had to bow his head and admit his mistake: "Senior sister, I was wrong. ”

The other two also lowered their heads when they saw this.

Although these three children are two years younger than Xiao Xuan, and they look pitiful at the moment, these are useless to Xiao Xuan: "These words are useless to me, you go to Aunt Li to admit your mistakes in person, if she forgives you, I will naturally not care." ”

As soon as they heard this, the three young men suddenly felt like they had eaten Coptis chinensis, their faces showed a look of pain, and they thought of the fat woman with a whip outside the door, and the three of them would rather go to the punishment for copying the scriptures.

"Why don't you go quickly?" Seeing the three of them standing still, Xiao Xuan said.

Hearing the sound, the three of them hurriedly pushed open the door and ran out.

At this time, because of the woman blocking the door, most of the people in the queue outside had already left, leaving only a few people, still waiting for the opportunity to enter.

"You don't have to wait, go home early!" said the woman, holding a long whip in her right hand and pinching her waist with both hands, looking at the few people who had not yet left.

At this time, there were only four people in Wu Zhong, and when one of them saw her say this, he hesitantly turned around and left.

At this moment, the three teenagers walked over with their heads bowed.

"Aunt Li, we were wrong. The three of them bowed their heads and confessed their mistakes in front of the woman.

Seeing this, the woman smiled and said: "Little rabbit cubs, you still think I can't hear it, do you? My Li Mingyu's ability is not a vegetarian, you go out to inquire, how many people dare to provoke me? Say I'm fat! Eat your rice or drink your water? Let me tell you, I haven't settled the matter of stealing my radish with you, and now it's in my hands again, you say, what should I do?"

The three of them looked at each other, bowed their heads and did not speak.

"Don't speak, okay, the three of you fight with the three of them, open your hearts, and this matter will be spared. Li Mingyu said, "Those three over there, you come here." ”

When Wu Zhong and the others heard her words, they walked over: "What do you want from your seniors?"

Li Mingyu was full of joy when he heard this: "You three take a look, this is a polite and civilized aspiring young man." After speaking, he looked at Wu Zhong and the others, "I see that you have waited so long, I wanted to drive you away, but now I have changed my mind, the three of you have a fight with the three of them, and if you win, stay, I will arrange it for you." If you lose, get out of here and don't waste time here. ”

Wu Zhong and the three of them were immediately overjoyed when they heard this, this is really filling in the pie that has fallen! The highest cultivation of the three people on the other side is only comparable to Wu Zhong, and those two are even only in the early stage of qi induction, if this is really a competition, Wu Zhong and the three of them will definitely win.

Li Mingyu looked at Wu Zhong and the others, and naturally understood what they were thinking, so he said: "Don't think that if you cultivate to a high level, you will definitely win, when you really lose, look at where your face goes." After speaking, he looked at Zhao Ziming and the others, "The three of you will go all out for me, if anyone loses, he will do the matter of planting radishes next year!"
