Lin Gui just nodded and didn't speak.

Lin Gui secretly thought to himself in his heart, "Fish and Dragon List, I'm here!"

Lin Gui has already decided that no matter what, he must become a master on the fish and dragon list.

While Lin Gui and Liu Mang were talking here, the courtyard gate of the head of the Liu family slowly opened, and a young man who looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years old walked out of the open courtyard gate without hurrying or slow.

The young man's body was filled with a cold smell.

What is certain is that the laws that this young man perceives should have something to do with cold ice.

At the same time, from this young man's body, bursts of powerful aura loomed out.

This breath is just too powerful.

Although it was Lin Gui, when he felt this breath, his face was also slightly moved, and this breath made Lin Gui feel depressed.

Lin Gui knew very well that with his current strength, if he faced the young man in front of him, he would never be his opponent.

Even......

Lin Gui couldn't even catch the other party's move!

This person is none other than the first genius of the Liu family, and the first master of the younger generation of the Liu family, Liu Batian!

"Young Master Batian!"

The masters who were guarding outside the courtyard saluted respectfully when they saw Liu Batian.

Liu Batian nodded, and then walked over gently.

When Liu Batian took every step, he seemed to be very calm, but there seemed to be a special rule implied in it.

When Lin Gui looked at Liu Batian, he felt that Liu Batian seemed to have completely integrated with the surrounding environment, and he was no longer separated from each other!

"It seems that Liu Batian has already sensed a special rule!" Lin Gui thought to himself in his heart, "It is because of the existence of this kind of rule that Liu Batian seems to have completely integrated with the surrounding environment." ”

Lin Gui knew very well that Liu Batian had reached a state that he didn't understand.

Finally, Liu Batian finally walked not far from Lin Gui and Liu Mang, and Liu Batian suddenly stopped.

"Brother Mang, your cultivation is ...... Progress is too slow!" Liu Batian said lightly, his words were filled with an invisible coercion.

Liu Mang hurriedly said respectfully, "Big Brother Batian has taught me a lesson, and I will definitely cultivate well in the future!"

Liu Batian nodded, and then said, "It's time to put a little pressure on you, this time the comprehensive assessment of the Royal Academy, if you can't enter the Royal Academy, you can go to the place to take care of affairs!

"What?"

After Liu Mang listened to Liu Batian's words, his face changed greatly.

The meaning of Liu Batian's words is obvious, if Liu Mang can't become a disciple of the Royal Academy this time, Liu Batian will directly expel Liu Mang from the core layer of the Liu family.

Liu Mang knows very well that once he is expelled from the core layer, it will be very difficult to come back again in the future.

And Liu Batian, don't look at him as just a younger generation, however, he has absolute power, if he wants to expel Liu Mang from the Liu family, the other high-level leaders of the Liu family will not say anything.

Liu Mang hurriedly said, "Big Brother Batian, this ......"

Liu Mang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Batian directly waving his hand, Liu Batian said, "I know, this is difficult for you, but ...... Without pressure, there is no motivation. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Batian paused slightly, and continued to say indifferently, "Besides, you also understand that the core layer of our Liu family does not raise waste, if you can't even enter the Royal Academy, for our Liu family, it is just a waste, so ...... There is no need to continue to stay in the Liu family. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Batian didn't say anything more, took a step directly, and left without being happy or slow.

Looking at the back of Liu Batian leaving, a wry smile finally appeared on Liu Mang's face, and then he said to Lin Gui, "Boss, it seems that ...... I'm in danger this time!"

Lin Gui asked, "You don't have the confidence to pass the comprehensive assessment of the Royal Academy?"

Liu Mang shook his head and said, "Boss, you don't know, it is not easy to pass the comprehensive assessment of the Royal Academy, although I am very confident, but to be honest, with my strength and talent, it is not a simple matter to pass the assessment of the Royal Academy." ”

Lin Gui said lightly, "Believe in yourself!"

At the same time, Lin Gui secretly thought to himself in his heart, "It seems that the so-called Liu Batian is deliberately targeting Liu Mang!"

At this time, the big man named Uncle Zhong said to Liu Mang, "Young Master Mang, the old man let you in!"

Liu Mang came back to his senses and said, "Got it!"

Then Liu Mang turned back to Lin Gui and said, "Boss, let's go." ”

Lin Gui said, "Okay!"

Then the two walked into the courtyard.

"Huh?"

After entering the courtyard, Lin Gui couldn't help but be stunned!

Because......

Lin Gui unexpectedly found that in this courtyard, someone had arranged a formation?

Of course, arranging the formation is not the point, the most important thing is that in this formation, there has been a lot of primeval qi?

Lin Gui couldn't help but think in his heart, "This formation can actually gather the primeval qi, it seems that it is not simple!"

"Boss!"

At this time, Liu Mang shouted, and Lin Gui came back to his senses.

When I entered the main hall of the courtyard, I saw an old back, standing quietly by the window, this old back, it was too old, standing there on crutches, as if it might fall down at any time.

At the same time, he was so thin that he was left with only skin and bones, as if he were about to fall down when a gust of wind blew.

In addition, from behind, the sparse hair on his head looks a little poignant.

No matter how you look at it, this old man is an old man who is about to die.

Lin Gui really didn't expect that the head of the Liu family would be so old?

Judging from the current situation, if there are no other opportunities, the head of the Liu family should not live for a few years.

Once the head of the Liu family died, it would be a great disaster for the entire Liu family.

At this time, the Liu family was able to become one of the four major families because of the existence of the head of the Liu family, but if the head of the Liu family died, it would be difficult to say whether the Liu family could continue to maintain the four major families.

"Grandpa!"

Liu Mang respectfully bowed to the old man's back.

Lin Gui also stepped forward and said respectfully, "See seniors." ”

The old man turned around slowly, and Lin Gui finally saw the old man's true appearance clearly.

When he saw the old man's true appearance clearly, Lin Gui's heart couldn't help but feel cold.

The old man's face was already full of wrinkles, his eyes were already dim, and even the beard at the corner of his mouth was about to fall off.

The old man is so old!

Under normal circumstances, the elderly will never live for three years.

It's just that after Lin Gui glanced at the old man's eyes, it suddenly became clear in his heart, this old man turned out to be half an ancient martial cultivator?

Lin Gui also finally understood why the ancient qi gathered in this outside formation, it turned out that the ancient qi gathered in this outside formation was for the old man to cultivate.

The old man was also because he was half an ancient martial cultivator, and his cultivation was only a thousand miles a day, and he finally reached the level of a martial king.

But......

Today's old man, his cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and although the formation outside is still condensing the primeval qi, those primeval qi is no longer enough for the old man's cultivation to break through again.

If the cultivation is not broken, the old man will die in a few years.

After the old man turned around, he first glanced at Lin Gui, and then said to Liu Mang, "Liu Mang, you go out first, I have something to talk to Lin Shaoxia alone!"

"Yes!"

Liu Mang didn't hesitate, just agreed, and then retreated silently, and closed the door of the courtyard by the way.

waited until Liu Mang went out, and then the old man said to Lin Gui, "Lin Shaoxia, sit down!"

As he spoke, the old man staggered to his seat, and then sat down trembling again.

Looking at the old man's appearance, Lin Gui was really worried, would the old man fall directly?

To tell the truth, Lin Gui almost couldn't help but want to go up and help the old man, but in the end, Lin Gui still held back, because Lin Gui felt that the old man would not fall.

Seeing that Lin Gui was in a daze, the old man didn't sit down, and said again, "Lin Shaoxia, sit down!"

Lin Gui came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Senior, junior, just stand." ”

The old man nodded, but he didn't insist much, and asked, "Are you surprised?"

"Huh?"

Lin Gui was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?"

The old man smiled a little self-deprecatingly and said, "Are you surprised that the head of the Liu family is actually a dying old man, who may die at any time?"

Lin Gui pondered for a moment, and finally said honestly, "To tell the truth, when the younger generation was before, I really didn't think that a character who led the Liu family to the peak would be so old? ”

"Alas!"

The old man sighed a little and said, "The years are not forgiving, but you are still ...... It's good to be young, if it wasn't because of the wrong choice back then, I wouldn't have come to this point, maybe now I'm already cultivating to go further, if that's the case, the entire Dorai Kingdom, who can stop me?"

The old man smiled helplessly when he spoke!

At the same time, the old man's heart was also a little strange, this was the first time he had seen Lin Gui, but he found a familiar feeling from Lin Gui's body, it was because of this feeling that the old man trusted Lin Gui from the bottom of his heart, wanted to talk to Lin Gui, and wanted to tell Lin Gui all the secrets he had suppressed in his heart.
