This is an elegant courtyard, although it is night, Sun Xiang can still perceive that the owner of the courtyard is very ingenious, and the courtyard is very delicately maintained. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, such a chic courtyard turned out to be located in a relatively remote part of the Long family's mansion.

An old man in the twilight welcomed the three of them into the living room, poured tea for Sun Xiang and Long Zhanshan, and retreated to the other side, while the quasi-saint who was driving the car stood behind Long Zhanshan and did not sit down.

Long Zhanshan motioned for Sun Xiang to drink tea with his hand, and he also took a sip of the teacup before putting down the teacup and saying, "I know you are willing to drink." I never drink alcohol, and I don't have any alcohol here. If you want to drink, you have to drink your own. ”

This was the first time Long Zhanshan spoke after the two left the State Guest House.

Sun Xiang said indifferently: "Sometimes I also drink tea, and this tea is not bad." With that, he put down his teacup.

After thinking for a while, Long Zhanshan pointed to the old man in the twilight and said, "He is Lu Kaiyan, my Long family's son-in-law." ”

"Ahh Sun Xiang exclaimed softly. At this time, he looked at this twilight old man and found that the other party's cultivation was only in the early stage of the sword master, and Shou Yuan had little left. Immediately he calculated his age, this Lu Kaiyan and Schneider and Riley are people of the same era, and now they should be more than one hundred and fifty years old, and they have reached the limit of longevity in the early stage of the sword master, if he can't break through, he really doesn't have a few years to live.

Immediately, he stood up and apologized to Lu Kai for his rudeness, then sat down and frowned.

Lu Kaiyan seemed to be accustomed to the surprise of outsiders at him, and stood there expressionlessly, without saying anything about Sun Xiang's apology.

Long Zhanshan seemed to have guessed Sun Xiang's thoughts, and said softly: "Do you think I came to you to ask you to guide you to open a trench?" Without waiting for Sun Xiang to answer, he continued: "Actually, it's not. The path of opening the trench was his own choice, and he had nothing to complain about. Especially after his wife died ten years ago, his heart was dead. This is the place where the family has assigned to their husbands and wives, and they have not left this place for seventy or eighty years. ”

Afterwards, he said to Lu Kaiyan: "Kaiyan, you go and bring Ying'er." ”

"Yes." Lu Kaiyan replied respectfully, and then left the living room.

Sun Xiang felt that it was time, so he asked, "Senior Long invited me here, yes... ”

Long Zhanshan sighed, and said in a somewhat low mood: "I am not the only sage in the Long family, alas... ”

Sun Xiang understood that Long Zhanshan was showing his attitude, and told Sun Xiang through this sentence that Julie's affairs had nothing to do with him. Sun Xiang would not easily believe Long Zhanshan's words, but he didn't want to refute either, since he had promised Nash and the others at night that he would not trouble the Long family again, he would fulfill his promise.

Sun Xiang saw that Long Zhanshan was reluctant to say more, and he didn't speak, and the room fell silent again.

After a while, Lu Kaiyan brought in a young man, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old. The young man timidly walked up to Long Zhanshan, bowed his head and saluted, "Ying'er has seen the ancestor. ”

"Get up, this is Sun Xiang from the Detu Empire, Marquis Sun, you give the Marquis a salute." Long Zhanshan said softly. There was also a hint of love in his voice.

Hearing Sun Xiang's name, Lu Kaiyan's body was shocked, and he looked at Sun Xiang seriously for the first time, and a trace of light appeared in his cloudy eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, and then, he lowered his head and stood there silently.

The young man looked a little excited, and saluted at Sun Xiang and said, "Add Marquis Sun." There was a hint of excitement in his voice.

Sun Xiang stood up and returned a salute to the other party as an equal before sitting down. He took the opportunity to investigate the situation of this young man,

It was found that this young man was ostensibly the strength of the early stage of a high-level swordsman, but he had imperceptible fluctuations of magic elements on his body, and looking at the energy of magic fluctuations, he should be the early stage of an intermediate magician. It seems that he is also a genius of demonic and martial arts double cultivation.

After Sun Xiang sat down, Long Zhanshan spoke again and said, "Alas... We don't know about Princess Julie, but those children were instigated by Prince Huck and that Li Dongjun. My cousin arrived just in time to accompany the Sage of Riley, but Riley's temper was so short-tempered that without waiting for my cousin to speak, he made the first move and killed one of our would-be saints. That would-be saint happened to be my cousin's own brother, so my cousin fought with the Riley Sage, and the city was almost destroyed. Alas... ”

Although what Long Zhanshan said was very simple, Sun Xiang understood, and it seems that Aunt Riley also has some responsibilities. If Aunt Riley can suppress her anger and not kill that quasi-saint, things will take a turn for the better. After all, Julie only suffered some minor injuries, and Riley and the others arrived in time.

"Alas... I don't say this to shirk responsibility. Whether it is the Fatraxi Empire or our Long family, at this time, they can't withstand any wind and grass. My cousin still has a grudge against Riley, but he still knows the general thing, because his brother does have an unshirkable responsibility in his own right. A quasi-saint, lacking a sense of the overall situation, went there with a few children to mess around, and being killed was considered his own fault. Speaking of this, Long Zhanshan breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Xiang had heard Fa Thika mention in that border city that the Long family had a quasi-saint-level gentleman. During the day, he had heard Huck say that it was he who had persuaded an arrogant fellow of the Dragon family, and it seemed that he was referring to the quasi-saint. Sun Xiang understood, the slain quasi-saint was estimated to be not a fuel-efficient lamp in the Long family, and it should have often caused trouble for the family, so when he died, Long Zhanshan felt relieved.

"In our south, it may be the relationship between water, soil and climate, and the proportion of magical mutations is very high. In addition, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, we did not do it thoroughly enough, and did not collect all the inheritances of dark magic, and some inheritances were scattered all over the place. Therefore, some mutated magicians will secretly practice dark magic. Alas... We all know about this situation, but these people are just cultivating, they have not joined the religion, and they have not caused too much harm to society, so we just turned a blind eye and let them exist. ”

"Who would have thought that the sect master who suddenly appeared would actually reach the height of the holy level, and his strength was not much weaker than ours. What surprised us even more was that he wanted to plot the Tracy Empire through Huc. Alas... My cousin has gone to the other extreme because of my brother's death and Huck's affair, and there is no room for anyone who cultivates dark magic in his eyes. ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiang once again felt sad for the Dark God Cult. What a great opportunity they missed. That Jin Shaoxuan was also praised by them as a strategic genius, and he was simply rubbish. The Cult of the Dark God was buried directly in his hands.

Long Zhanshan, who sighed for a long time, finally said his purpose. He pointed to the young man and said to Sun Xiang: "This is Ying'er, her full name is Long Xiangying, and she is a descendant of my lineage. His parents left relatively early and have been taking care of him. He is smart, kind-hearted, and I like him very much. Unfortunately, his magic has also mutated, alas... ”

Sun Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then understood Long Zhanshan's intentions, he was a little puzzled, and just wanted to ask but was blocked by Long Zhanshan's words.

"We already know about Shi Yong, and if it weren't for me and Rende's persuasion, my cousin wouldn't have let him go. Ying'er's existence has touched my cousin's taboo, and now is an extraordinary time, for the sake of the family's stability, I must find a way out for Ying'er. Maybe when this matter cools down, my cousin's mind will change a little, and when the time comes, I will bring Ying'er back. ”

Sun Xiang was a little puzzled, with the power and influence of the Long family, he could find a place for this Long Xiangying, and it would not be his turn at all. However, seeing that Long Zhanshan had already made his words clear, Sun Xiang couldn't express his doubts, so he had to say: "I promised Shi Yong that he could live in Astor City, but the premise is that he can no longer believe in any religion. ”

"Don't worry, although Ying'er, this child is not very old, but under my influence, he will not join any religion at all. If he dares to join those messy organizations, I'll depose him myself. Long Zhanshan assured Sun Xiang that the last sentence was said directly to Long Xiangying. Then, he took out a jade box and handed it to Sun Xiang. "I know you're an alchemy master. This is an ancient relic that I found during my expedition, and it may be useful to you, so I gave it to you as a reward for doing me a favor. Of course, I still owe you a favor, an apology to the Long family for their actions to Julie, you can come to me if you need to. ”

Hearing Long Zhanshan's words, Sun Xiang finally realized that Long Zhanshan wanted to completely solve the festival with Sun Xiang because of Julie in this way. In other words, Long Zhanshan said in disguise that the Long family did not want to be an enemy of Sun Xiang. It is also a disguised compromise and softness.

Sun Xiang knew that all this was because of Astor City and because of the existence of the Red Mansion. It has nothing to do with his own strength.

Sun Xiang wasn't very interested in that ancient relic, because he had already happened that the Kuiyun Continent was too barren in terms of cultivating gods, and it couldn't be compared to the Divine Continent at all. This barrenness refers to the aspect of the cultivation system, and Sun Xiang is still very satisfied with the aspect of property, because his various grandmaster identities have been used. It's a treasure trove of unexplored treasures.
