Chapter 3 The Xuan Family
The town was far away from Hyunkyung, and it took half a month for the carriage to arrive successfully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After arriving in Hyunjing, Xuan Ze did not go to the family for the first time, but took a rare walk around Hyunjing and purchased some items that he thought he could use in the Glowing Forest.
After buying all the things, Xuan Ze was led by the old butler to the Xuan Mansion, which could once be called home.
Because of the possession of a Xuan-level god pattern master, the Xuan family's power in Hyunjing is extremely great, and it can be said that it is the most noble family except for the royal family, so the Xuan family's mansion is naturally amazing.
With his memory, Xuan Ze spent most of the effort of the incense stick to come to his former residence.
His return was no surprise to the entire Xuanfu at all, so no one went to greet him. However, he is not uncommon.
After returning to his residence, Xuan Ze consciously chose to live in seclusion. And this stay is three days.
Three days later, Xuan Ze was finally summoned by the current head of the Xuan family, that is, his biological father Xuan Qing.
When Xuan Ze went to the lobby, it was already full of people, most of whom were powerful figures of the Xuan family. But this time, it was not the head of the family who sat on the throne, but an old man in a white robe with a white beard.
This old man Xuan Ze recognized that this person was none other than his grandfather, the father of the current head of the family, the only Xuan-level divine tattoo master in Hyunjing and even in the entire Great Moon Country-Xuan Zhen.
Seeing Xuan Ze slowly entering, everyone who was originally talking to each other fell silent, and their eyes swept towards Xuan Ze in unison. Because the other Xuan family guards are all sidelined, they are not qualified to enter the lobby, so they all obey orders outside the hall.
Being watched by so many elders, Xuan Ze did not show even a trace of nervousness and timidity, he only looked back at everyone lightly, and then bowed slightly to the old man seat.
The whole family is really worthy of his gift.
Seeing that Xuan Ze actually regarded himself and the others as nothing, several old men with extremely high seniority were all angry. However, just as they were about to attack, Xuan Zhen, who was sitting in the center, slowly opened his mouth.
"You're Xuan Ze?" As a grandfather, he didn't know his grandson, which has to be said to be an irony.
Looking directly at the old man's blazing eyes, Xuan Ze nodded slightly. After today, he will have nothing to do with this indifferent family, so there is no need to be clever in words.
His expression flashed slightly, and Xuan Zhen nodded slightly, "Do you already understand some of the duties and benefits of the guards?" Need more clarification? "Because Xuan Ze is the leader of the Xuan family's guards this time, Xuan Zhen only needs to ask him if he has any questions, and let him directly relay any questions at that time.
"It's already understood, so there's no need to explain more." Xuan Ze's expression was still unfazed, and the words he said were still concise, as if it was difficult to say one more word.
Nodding again, Xuan Zhen glanced at the head of the family on the side, that is, Xuan Ze's biological father Xuan Qing.
Instructed by Xuan Zhen, Xuan Qing nodded slightly, then cleared his throat and said loudly, "Although as a child of the Xuan family, it is a matter of course to charge into battle for the honor of the Xuan family, but in order to praise such loyal and filial piety, this seat, as the current head of the family, hereby announces that all Xuan family guards, in addition to the benefits that ordinary guards should have, will also be given an additional second-class space storage bag, ten inferior divine vein stones and a low-grade vein vein!" ā
As Xuan Qing's voice fell, a beautiful maid walked out slowly, holding a silver plate in her hand, and gently came to Xuan Ze. Outside the lobby, there was also a slight commotion, and obviously, when the extra reward was due, those Xuan family guards were very happy.
Smelling the familiar fragrance, Xuan Ze's originally calm face couldn't help but move slightly, but then it calmed down.
took the silver plate with an indifferent face, Xuan Ze didn't even glance at the maid, and he didn't know whether he didn't want to look at it, or didn't dare to look at it.
A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Xuan Ze tightly, and seeing that Xuan Ze ignored herself, the glamorous maid pursed her lips lightly and said softly, "Childe is precious!" After speaking, he walked out of the lobby lightly.
Hearing the sound of "Childe is precious", Xuan Ze's originally straight body couldn't help but tremble, but then, Xuan Ze raised his head without squinting, looked at the old man who had been paying attention to him in front of him, and waited for his next step.
The maid just now was his former personal maid, and she had a little-known story with Xuan Ze, and Xuan Zhen arranged for her to appear on this occasion, obviously with his intentions.
Sure enough, after Xuan Ze accepted the reward, the old man opened his mouth again with a mysterious expression, "According to the convention, once the guards are in office, they need to abide by them for life. Therefore, under normal circumstances, before departure, the guards have the 'last right of indulgence', and if you want to leave your own heirs in the family, you can take advantage of these last three days to seize the time and enjoy this last opportunity. If the object of your fancy is a nobleman, as long as you are willing, we will not interfere, if it is a subordinate, we can make the decision to incorporate it into the family, so that even your descendants can enjoy the rights due to the Xuan family! ā
After hearing this, Xuan Ze suddenly felt a little funny in his heart, and at the same time felt a deep sadness. However, he is not sad because of the situation he is about to face...
She tried her best, but in the end she became a fertility tool of the Xuan family...
The corners of his mouth hooked up a thick irony, and Xuan Ze's last bit of expectation for this family was shattered.
Ignoring the commotion outside the house, after nodding his head to show that he understood, Xuan Ze directly diverted the topic and asked a question that all the Xuan family guards present were most concerned about, "Dare to ask the Great Elder, I don't know when I can depict the divine pattern?" "The Great Elder is Xuan Zhen.
Seeing that Xuan Ze changed the topic, a trace of surprise flashed on Xuan Zhen's old face, but the people in power of the Xuan family around him showed an undisguised mockery in unison.
"With your physique, you are still trying to depict the divine pattern? It's overwhelming! ā
"Not bad! Back then, Xuantian's physique was almost unable to burn the Divine Pattern, not to mention you people, even if you reluctantly did it, it was just a waste of materials, and it would be life-threatening! ā
"What the Second Elder said is right, if you don't refine the Divine Vein Technique to the third stage, ordinary people will not be able to withstand the backlash of the Divine Pattern at all. Although the empire has given the guards the opportunity to depict the divine pattern for free, to put it bluntly, it is actually a condition prepared for some descendants who are forced to send out for various reasons! Xuanqing also spoke, but only half of his words were spoken, and the other half was inconvenient to speak, so he didn't say it.
However, even so, Xuan Ze, whose heart is like a mirror, still understands what he meant.
Although it is officially stipulated that all guards are for life, that is only a rule on the surface, and secretly, it is not difficult for a big family to secretly recover a sent guard from the Glowing Forest Domain.
In order to protect the lives of their descendants, some sparse big families depict divine patterns for them, so that they have the power to protect themselves, and then arrange for those descendants to "die" in the border area after many years, and transport their "corpses" back to their hometowns, which are all habitual routines, and they are also the customary underground rules of all big families.
Therefore, the so-called right to depict the divine pattern for free is actually for those descendants of the lineage, and the general collateral children, even if they apply for the depiction of the divine pattern, will be artificially eliminated in the first level of physical review.
However, it is clear that Xuan Ze does not intend to give up, because his life is at stake, and he cannot back down. Besides, now he didn't care about the attitude of those family elders towards him, even if he completely fell out with the family because of this, he didn't care, he didn't think that he could come back this time when he went to the Glowing Forest Domain.
A trace of hideousness flashed in his eyes, and Xuan Ze said with a cold face, "Whether we can bear the Divine Pattern or not is our business, we don't care about the rest, I only ask the Great Elder, when can we portray the Divine Pattern!" Or are you ready to deprive us of this right! His tone was full of unceremonious questioning.
Seeing that Xuan Ze's tone was so evil, the elders of the Xuan family present were all stunned, it was the first time they had been spoken by a junior in such a tone.
After a brief moment of consternation, all the elders present turned into rage.
"Bold Xuanze, actually talking to the Great Elder like this, is there still half a point of truth in his heart?"
"It's rude! Rude to the extreme! ā
"Sure enough, it's a child who has a mother and no mother, so he doesn't know how to be polite!"
Listening to the condemnation around him, Xuan Ze's face was extremely gloomy, but he didn't open his mouth to argue, he knew that it didn't make any sense, he just stared at the old man on the main seat, waiting for his decision.
And Xuan Zhen, who was sitting on the main seat, was also staring at the young man in front of him at the moment, carrying endless majesty. For so many years, Xuan Ze is definitely the first one who dares to talk to him like this!
Also staring at Xuan Ze was Xuan Qing, the head of the Xuan family, and at this moment, his eyes were full of disbelief. He stared at the young man in front of him, trying to find even a trace of the past in him, but no matter how hard he tried, it was in vain.
Xuan Ze has completely become another person for him, or rather, he has never really understood Xuan Ze from beginning to end!
The word only promise has been completely eliminated from Xuan Ze, and now Xuan Ze has lost the need to compromise, he is like an out-of-body sword - the edge is exposed!
