Volume I. Chapter XXII. Hongmen Banquet
The mysterious man left, Qin Xiao leaned under the tree without strength, and after a long time, through the absorption of the soul power of the hidden soul crystal, he had a little strength and slowly stood up.
"This guy's strength is much higher than I don't know, at least he has the strength of the Great Magister or above, and he still uses water magic, so he must not be a student of the academy." Qin Xiao thought: "But it seems that he is indeed no threat to me, otherwise I have no power to fight back just now, and he can completely take my life." ”
It was useless to think too much, Qin Xiao breathed a little and walked towards the dormitory.
Unconsciously, a month has passed, Qin Xiao's daily life is nothing unusual, attending classes, practicing, having time to learn martial arts with Li Xin and Du Tianze, of course, Long Die is indispensable to surround Qin Xiao and others every day, and Qin Xiao seems to have become accustomed to the noisy noise of Long Die.
"Qin Xiao, the dean has something to look for you!" A mentor hurried in the distance.
Seeing someone coming, Qin Xiao muttered in his heart: "What is this dean looking for me for no reason?" Forget it, just check it out. ”
Walking quickly to the Starry Tower, Qin Xiao went straight to the dean's place.
"Qin Xiao, you're here!" The golden light flashed, the wisps of star soul power turned from virtual to real, and Du Sheng's figure stood in front of him.
"See the Dean! I don't know what the dean is doing when he calls the juniors? ”
"Qin Xiao, let's not say polite words, go back and pack your bags, I want you to accompany me to a place the day after tomorrow." Du Sheng said.
"Okay, the student knows, let's go back and clean up!" Without asking too much, Qin Xiao agreed.
Hearing Qin Xiao's answer, Du Sheng looked puzzled: "Qin Xiao, aren't you curious about where I'm going to take you?" If it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, can't you still go with my old man? ”
This question is that Du Sheng underestimated Qin Xiao, or rather, underestimated the majesty, challenge, difficulty, and danger of this innate shaking star. The Shaking Star is never afraid of any hardship, but is an opportunity to temper.
Back in the dormitory, Qin Xiao was busy packing his bags, Li Xin saw Qin Xiao's actions and asked, "Brother Qin, where are you going?" ”
"To be honest, I don't know, it was the dean who said that he would take me to a place the day after tomorrow, and he didn't tell me exactly what it was."
Hearing Qin Xiao's answer, Li Xin frowned, worried in his heart: "Brother Qin, do you know what day after tomorrow is?" ”
"This has to be told by Brother Li, and it is really unknown below."
"Hehe, Brother Qin, I didn't expect you to cause a big disaster this time." Li Xin returned: "Sikong Qingyu's coming-of-age ceremony is the day after tomorrow!" ”
"I see, it doesn't matter, it's me Qin Xiao who injured his Sikong family, and I won't shirk the responsibility, just bear it."
"Brother Qin, in fact, don't worry, on the day of the ceremony, presumably the best figures on the continent will be present, among the four major families and the Seven Emperors, there are not a few sincere friends with your father, and there is a dean to accompany you, presumably that Sikong Lao'er will not dare to do anything to you! But ......" Li Xin said: "As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves." This kind of precaution, Brother Qin still has to have. ”
"If you are worried, I will take precautions."
As one of the four major families, the Sikong family is one of the oldest families on the mainland, although its strength is far below the Seven Emperors of the Big Dipper, it cannot be underestimated. And this Sikong Qingyu is already the next patriarch of the internal designation, and his coming-of-age ceremony is to inform the various forces on the mainland of Sikong Qingyu's inheritance, and secondly, to take the opportunity to make friends with others. What's more important is Qin Xiao's matter.
The date has arrived, Du Sheng took Vice Dean Sun Haoqian and several tutors from the academy, plus Qin Xiao, a group of seven people, to the Sikong family's territory - Cuizhu Mountain Jiuxing Building.
Within half a day, the group marched rapidly under the leadership of Du Sheng and reached the foot of Cuizhu Mountain.
"Who's coming?"
Suddenly, several figures appeared at the foot of the mountain, all of them were the same as Sikong Qingyu, with a sword behind him and heavy armor all over their bodies, and asked Du Sheng and the others.
"Beidou Academy - Du Sheng!" An invitation is thrown.
Check the invitation and make sure that it is correct, the guards dare not slack off, after all, the dean of the first academy of the continent is not easy to mess with, so he hurriedly let him go.
Under the leadership of the guards, Du Sheng, Qin Xiao and others walked to the Nine Star Tower, only to see a magnificent building complex in front of them, eight slightly lower buildings surrounded by the highest castle in the middle with the momentum of the stars and the moon, located in the terrain surrounded by mountains on three sides, but also showed his conservative and closed character.
Walking into the hall, the wide hall was full of people, and directly west of the hall, there was a high platform, on which stood a person.
Qin Xiao recognized it, dressed in red, and it was the person who talked to the dean in the Star Tower with Lu Existence some time ago - Sikong Fan.
Qin Xiao looked at Sikong Fan, and Sikong Fan didn't notice Qin Xiao, only to see that his eyes were full of murderous aura, staring at Qin Xiao fiercely, and it seemed that he was angry.
"Stinky boy, today you will be called to have no return, relying on Du Sheng's protection to hurt my son, don't take my Sikong family in his eyes, I don't know if I will receive this gift later, you Qin Xiao can not accept it." Sikong Fan said in a low voice.
Clearing his throat, Sikong Fan said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, since the people have arrived, we have been friends for many years, I will not be polite, today is the coming-of-age ceremony of the dog Sikong Qingyu, here, I Sikong Fan announced to everyone that I officially set up my son Sikong Qingyu as the next head of our Sikong family, and pass on the "Nine Star Sword Spectrum" and the treasure of our Sikong family, one of the three major artifacts of ancient times. ”
Hearing this, the audience was in an uproar, and at a young age, he had been given high hopes to teach the name of the head of the family, and he was given one of the three major artifacts, the remnant sword and the wind, which shows the status of this Sikong Qingyu in his family, and on the other hand, it also shows Sikong Qingyu's talent and strength, otherwise, he will not be so valued.
"Dare to ask the dean, what are these three major artifacts?" Qin Xiao asked in a low voice.
"Hehe, this Sikong Fan has really put a lot of effort into it, and he has given all the things that take care of the house to his son." Du Sheng replied: "You have just entered the world, and there are many things you don't know yet. These three ancient artifacts are the first casting master in the mainland, the famous craftsman Ye Thirteen, who worked hard to cast the divine weapons before his death, respectively, the remnant sword and the wind, as you can see, are owned by his Sikong family, and the whereabouts of the sword and I are unknown, and the last magic spear is ...... day by day."
Speaking of this, the conversation between Du Sheng and Qin Xiao was interrupted by a powerful coercion, and when he turned around, he saw a person walking into the door, exuding a powerful aura, and all the people in the audience used their star soul power to resist it, so as not to disturb their sanity.
This person was the Tianji Xing Lucun who was fighting Qin Xiao in the Star Tower at that time.
I saw Lu Cun slowly walking towards the high platform, his eyes stayed on Qin Xiao, he glanced at it, and then moved away.
Seeing Lu Cun coming, Sikong Fan didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly took two steps forward, greeted him, stretched out his hand to clench his fists, and said, "Oops! Today, with the arrival of the Dimensity Star, we are really flattered. Thank you so much! ”
"Why thank you, you and I have been close friends for many years, the rite of passage of the virtuous nephew, I am an uncle, how can I not be there. Come, this is my congratulatory gift. After speaking, Lu Cun took out a brocade box from his arms, the body of the box exuded a powerful aura, and it was not ordinary at first glance.
"This is the golden pill I refined, named Ji Ling Awakening Soul, let the virtuous nephew take this pill, its strength can break through the limit and forcibly improve one layer, if I remember correctly, the virtuous nephew should already be at the level of a great war master, and if you take this pill, you can go directly to the one-star war king!" Lu Cun said: "It's just a small expression of my friendship between the two families for many years!" ”
Hearing this, everyone in the audience was shocked, the one-star war king, only eighteen years old, this is something that ordinary people dare not think of.
"This Lu Cun and Sikong Fan are really good at showmanship, who doesn't know that their two families have been friends for many years, and doing this is nothing more than telling everyone that whoever offends his Sikong family is the enemy of his Tianji Star. This scene is too explicit. Du Sheng said to Qin Xiao in a low voice.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Sikong Fan smiled and kept thanking him.
The conversation changed. Sikong Fan is worthy of being an old Jiang for many years, his face is closed, and he faces everyone again, and he is still majestic.
"Later, the old man will invite Xiaoer Qingyu to say hello to the elders, but I still have one more thing this time, I hope that everyone here will make decisions for Xiaoer, and I hope that everyone will not give me face for Sikong Fan, but also give Tianji Xing a face."
Good guy, this Sikong Fan was afraid that he would not be weighty, so he used the Dimensity Star as a cover to put pressure on everyone.
However, it is inevitable to see the people who are at the helm of the wind, after all, no one wants to be the enemy of the Big Dipper Seven Emperors, and hurriedly said: "The master of the Sikong family is polite, if there are any difficulties, you might as well say it directly, we will definitely try our best to help." "Yes, the head of the Sikong family can say bluntly, if there is a problem, let's solve it together!"
"Good! Since everyone says so, I won't sell it anymore. Sikong Fan said: "Everyone knows that my son Qingyu is practicing in Beidou Academy, and a few days ago, Xiao'er was unfortunately injured by someone, and the injury was not light, and because the power behind the injured person is too great, and the power is bullying, my Sikong Fan really can't get justice for Xiao'er, and I hope everyone will help." ”
Hearing Sikong Fan say this, Du Sheng secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, his figure retreated, and turned to Qin Xiao's side, and at the same time, he glanced at a few people who were traveling with him, and everyone understood, and hurriedly protected Qin Xiao in the center.
"That's it! Let me tell you the rest! Tianji Xing Lucun, who had been beside him, walked to Sikong Fan's side: "This person is no one else, he is also a student of Beidou Academy, and he is also a closed disciple of Dean Du Sheng, this guy relies on Du Sheng's support and acts recklessly, today, the person who dares to hurt Sikong's family, his daily cultivation is soaring, who dares to guarantee that he will not be an enemy of everyone here." ”
"What a Lu Cun, with a vicious mind, even labeled Qin Xiao as my apprentice. Blame me for committing the murder, with the intention of banning the people on the mainland. Du Sheng silently thought in his heart: "It seems that I underestimated these two guys, they took Qin Xiao's life is false, and the true intention is mine." ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes turned to Du Sheng and the others, with doubts, anger, and uneasiness, it seems that today is a life of death.
