The Pavilion is still the largest building in the town at the foot of the mountain.

The town is crowded with people, and all kinds of business activities are frequently staged, and everyone is extremely busy.

Looking at this familiar scene, Xu Yi walking in the crowd actually felt a little unfamiliar.

Up and down the mountain, the distance is not far away, but it is like two worlds. When he was used to being lonely in the mountains, he suddenly came to the prosperous world, but he was a little unaccustomed to it. You know, he has only been on the mountain for four months, but he has been living under the mountain for sixteen years.

Shaking his head, Xu Yi gathered his mind and came to the familiar gate.

He didn't go home directly, because he knew that at this moment, his father Xu Hui must be in the Skillful Weapon Pavilion.

For him, the one he cares about under the mountain is just his father. As for the home that has lived in it for more than ten years, if there is no family, there is nothing to be nostalgic for this home.

Because I often have to deal with outsiders, the appraisal room is set up in the outer courtyard. Xu Yi walked around the appraisal room, didn't see his father, stretched out his hand and grabbed a familiar guy and said, "Where is the director?"

The guy was stunned, took a closer look, and suddenly said, "Oh, Young Master Xu, didn't you go into the mountain to practice, why did you come back?"

The others in the appraisal room didn't pay attention at first, but when they heard the voice, they turned their heads and saw that it was really Xu Yi, and they couldn't help but be very surprised.

Xu Yi smiled slightly, he naturally wouldn't explain so much to a guy: "I'm coming back to visit relatives, and I'm going to re-enter the mountain soon." By the way, my dad. ”

Now that he was recognized, he didn't bother to hide it.

The guy hurriedly said, "Director Xu just sent off a distinguished guest, and he shouldn't have come back yet." ”

"Oh. ”

"Hey, this isn't Xu Xian's nephew. Suddenly, a faint voice came from not far away.

This voice is still relatively familiar, Xu Yi turned his head to look, and his eyebrows raised slightly.

Gu Bin.

This guy is not strange here, but what makes Xu Yi feel uncomfortable and strange is that his attitude towards himself is obviously unexpected.

Before Xu Yilin went up the mountain, he had explained to his father that he didn't need to specifically target Gu Bin, as long as he was pressed in the appraisal room all the time. According to Xu Yi's understanding of his father, he will definitely handle this matter safely.

If this is the case, Gu Bin is now a member of his father's subordinates. When facing the son of the top boss, even if he doesn't come up to pat himself, he won't put on a lofty face.

But at this moment, Gu Bin's attitude is like this. He clasped his hands around his chest, sneered on his face, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and the look of disdain was clear at a glance.

Xu Yi's mind was racing, and he immediately understood that there must be something that he didn't know about happening, otherwise Gu Bin would never be like this.

Seeing that Xu Yi was silent, Gu Bin continued: "If I'm not mistaken, Xu Xian's nephew has only been in the mountain for four months......, right? You can't have made some mistake and been kicked down, are you?"

Generally, when outer disciples enter the mountain, they will have corresponding annual leave. Needless to say, if the distance is closer, I take a few days out of my year to go home to visit my family.

However, for disciples who have just entered the mountain, unless there is an accident in their family, few people will take the initiative to go down the mountain within a year. Of course, there are exceptions to this, and there is an example in the Skillful Weapon Pavilion that has been popular. The son of a certain steward entered the mountain for five months, but as a result, he offended the nobles, violated the regulations, and was expelled from the mountain after abolishing his efforts.

not only lost face, but even affected his family.

Therefore, after most of the outer disciples went up the mountain, they were cautious with their tails between them. Those who really don't know the height of the sky, even if they have the qualifications to go up the mountain, they may not have this opportunity.

The faces of the people next to them became quite strange, but no one stepped forward to relieve Xu Yi, they all avoided their eyes and did not dare to insert them.

Xu Yi is more and more sure in his heart that there must be something strange about this Gu Bin, otherwise his father has been the director of the appraisal room for several months, and he has a few henchmen, and someone will definitely come forward to scold him.

With a chuckle, Xu Yi said: "Did you commit something in Xia, don't you know if the ancient steward goes into the mountain to inquire?" He patted his head, as if he had just remembered something, and said with a smile, "Oh, you look at my memory, I forgot that you are a little steward, and you are not qualified to inquire about the situation of the mountain gate, forgive your sins." ”

Everyone was slightly stunned, grinning one by one, with strange expressions, that is, they wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh.

Gu Bin's face changed slightly, his face immediately became gloomy, and he snorted angrily: "Uneducated thing." ”

Xu Yi's face turned pale, and his eyes instantly became fierce.

Swept away by his eyes, a chill suddenly appeared in Gu Bin's heart, and he couldn't help but take a step back. In front of everyone's eyes, his face could no longer be hung up, so he had to wave his sleeves angrily and turn away.

The guy next to Xu Yi secretly gave a thumbs up and said in a low voice, "Young Master Xu, I'll take you to the supervisor's room to wait." ”

"Good. ”

Xu Yi followed him into the supervisor's room, which was a room specially prepared for the supervisor in the pavilion, and the layout inside was quite extravagant and generous.

The guy didn't dare to stay longer, and left in a hurry after making a cup of tea, obviously not daring to get involved in the battle between the Xu family's father and son and Gu Bin.

Xu Yi didn't care, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, but his brows were slightly furrowed. It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and after drinking the best tea prepared by Zhang Xinxin for himself, this ordinary tea feels difficult to eat.

Half an hour later, the sound of familiar footsteps sounded from outside.

A warm smile appeared on Xu Yi's face, and his father was back.

Sure enough, the next moment the door was opened, and Xu Hui strode in, his face was full of surprise and gloom.

"Daddy. ”

"Yi'er, why are you back?" Xu Hui said eagerly, "I heard from the guy that you are back, and I still don't believe it, this ...... What's going on?"

There was obvious worry in his voice, Xu Yi laughed, and hurriedly said: "Dad, don't worry, I didn't cause trouble, I came back from normal leave this time." ”

"Excuse me, why?" Xu Hui's face was slightly gloomy, "What a rare opportunity to enter the mountain to practice, if you don't cultivate well, come back and do nothing." ”

"Dad, I'm going to enter the inner door, and according to the rules, I can go home and deal with some things, so I'll come back. Xu Yi sighed and had to say it straight to the point.

"Inside the door?"

"yes. ”

Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, he suddenly rolled up his sleeves, and his face was angry: "You stinky boy, you dare to joke about this kind of thing, do you have itchy skin?"

Xu Yi: "......"
