Chapter 3: A Thousand Butterflies

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

Under the cover of the chirping of fireflies, he quietly entered through the back door of Nangong's house, lightly, for fear of being discovered. He had just slipped into the backyard and was about to reach the wing where he was staying, when a hearty questioning voice came from behind.

"Why did you come back so late?"

Behind Nangong Xiu stood a middle-aged man, he was dressed luxuriously and stood with his hands in his hands, his gray clothes were embroidered with golden lines, and a pair of thick eyebrows were staring at him, looking very majestic, he was the head of the Nangong family, Nangong Lei Yu.

The sudden voice behind him frightened Nangong Xiu'er suddenly, and he turned his head with a sneer: "Father-in-law, you haven't rested yet, if you're fine, I'll go back to the house to rest first!"

Nangong Lei Yu saw the bruise on the corner of his mouth, and he knew that this kid didn't have big fists, but he always liked to give those civilians a head, and often clashed with the children of other families.

Although he knows that his son is a sensible and kind child and will not easily provoke right and wrong, how can there be a son in the world who is not distressed when he is beaten?

There are discords between some families, and conflicts between juniors are also common, as long as they don't have broken arms and legs, their elders are not easy to take care of personally.

Looking at the bruises on the corners of his mouth, he said in a soothing tone: "I'll ask someone to bring you the food later, do you want to participate in the family competition in three months?"

Hearing the family competition, Nangong Xiu smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Father-in-law, I'm a beginner in the Spirit Open Realm, what am I going to do, do I embarrass the Nangong family?"

The family competition is held once every two years, and anyone under the age of sixteen can participate, which is a competition for the younger generation of the Yongle City big family, which is intended to show their own children to the major sects, climb the power, and secondly, to show the strength of their respective families.

Regarding Nangong Xiu's cultivation, he Nangong Lei Yu is also quite helpless, this thing is completely based on talent, if you are not talented, it is useless to talk about anything.

He has been looking forward to this righteous son very much, he has behaved differently from ordinary people since he was a child, smart and clever, and has a great mind, but his cultivation talent is very low.

Nangong Lei Yu sighed and said, "Alas, you should rest early." With that, he turned and left. Looking at the departing back, Nangong Xiu scratched his head, turned around and entered the room.

As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by a familiar figure, and a familiar girl's hair came to him, rubbing his nose.

"Brother! I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come back! I heard that you fought with the people of the Wu family today? Did you hurt anything? The next time I see those villains, I will definitely help you teach them a good lesson!"

The lively girl in front of her pulled him into the door, looking left and right to check his body. With a long ponytail, sheared eyes, a dusty face, and a seductive delicate lips, this pretty and lovely girl is his closest cousin, Nangong Qiandie.

Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Ahh

But Nangong Qiandie stuck out her tongue and smiled sweetly.

Nangong Xiu didn't get angry, but gently pushed her away, and said dotingly: "Qiandie, you are so old, and you are still hanging on me? Do you know if men and women are kissed? They all ran to my room so late, and people saw that they were going to be gossiped!"

Nangong Qiandie pinched her waist and said with a nonchalant expression: "Just say it, I don't care!" After speaking, she fell onto Nangong Xiu's arm again and said, "Brother, I heard the conversation between you and your uncle just now!

Nangong Xiu felt a headache, this lively and lovely cousin has played with him since he was a child, he likes this cousin very much, but he is too coquettish, so he can't resist it.

He said helplessly: "Thousand butterfly girl, don't shake it anymore, if you shake it again, I'll really be shaken by you!"

At this time, he suddenly took out a jade bottle, which attracted Nangong Qiandie's attention, and she stopped, which made Nangong Xiu breathe a sigh of relief.

Nangong Qiandie looked at the jade bottle curiously and asked, "Brother, what treasure are you holding in your hand?"

Nangong Xiu smiled mysteriously and handed her the jade bottle.

"I gave it to you. ”

Girls like to receive gifts from the people they care about, Nangong Qiandie is no exception, she accepted the jade bottle with a happy face, and couldn't wait to open it, when she just opened it, she was stunned at first, a wisp of medicinal fragrance wafted in, and when she saw the contents of the bottle carefully, she cried out in surprise.

"This is a high-grade elixir?!"

Nangong Xiu said with a smile: "This is a pinna elixir, it is very helpful to your current realm, maybe you can break through the spirit realm in one fell swoop, the family competition is imminent, you can take it back and cultivate." ”

The elixir, and it is also a high-grade elixir, which is an extremely precious thing for their remote city, every time it appears in the auction hall of Yongle City, it will attract various families to compete for it, which can be said to be priceless. Only those big forces such as sects and academies will have such resources.

"My brother actually gave himself such a precious elixir. The heart of the girl, which was already a girl's Huaichun, was already beating violently at this time, and she plunged into Nangong Xiu's arms and whispered.

"Brother Xiu'er, this stupid!"

Nangong Xiu was speechless for a while, why was he still wrong.

But Nangong Qiandie returned the jade bottle to him, at this time she was already peach, and said obediently: "This gift, Qiandie can't ask for it, Brother Xiu'er used it......"

Before she could finish speaking, Nangong Xiu interrupted her and said, "If you don't eat it, I won't consider participating in the family competition, and then only you will be chosen by the sect, and then we will never see each other again." ”

Hearing that she would never see her again, Nangong Qiandie immediately accepted the jade bottle, stopped twisting it, turned around and exited the room, and when she left, she also sent a message.

"Brother, if you don't join the sect with me, then Qiandie will ignore you again!" After saying that, she went back like the wind, leaving only the room full of girl's body fragrance.

"There are still three months, Nu is working hard, and you should... Okay...?" Looking at the departing back, Nangong Xiu scratched his head, seeing that his favorite sister was looking forward to him like this, he didn't want to live up to her wishes.

The Naling Pill in the jade bottle was given to him by the mysterious woman in green shirts, not so much as a gift, but a casual throw to him.

At that time, when Nangong Xiu admitted that she was a fire attribute talent, the woman left a sentence, "We will meet again soon, I don't need this Pinna Spirit Pill." Then she threw the elixir she had refined to him and disappeared.

Such a strange person, it is estimated that this casually refined elixir is nothing in her eyes, don't do it in vain, and then give it to Qiandie, which can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.

The boy was lying on the bed, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar beam roof, and the moonlight outside the window came in and fell white frost, which reminded him of a poem in his hometown.

He made a pillow with one hand, fiddling with the red pendant around his neck, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.

"It's been fourteen years since I crossed into this world, that's fast!"

The boy recalled the absurd experience at the beginning, and if it weren't for the black flame in his body, he would have thought that it was all just a dream......
