Chapter 19: Talking about the Old
Suddenly hearing the request of the head of the Zhu family, everyone was stunned.
Except for Chang Xi.
His eyes flashed, and Chang Xi silently looked at the wife of the head of the house, Zhu Yan'er and Zhu Yao'er, and said with his eyes that it was okay - so Chang Xi followed the head of the Zhu family to the study, while the wife of the head of the house entertained Zhu Yan'er, Zhu Yao'er, Li Shi, Li Shi and the new Yan Lie, and went to the back hall to fill their stomachs.
Zhu Mansion, study.
"Say it. As soon as he stepped into the study, the head of the Zhu family asked straight to the point.
Chang Xi just opened his mouth, and the head of the Zhu family flicked his sleeves, and the door closed automatically—"That's it." Chang Xi thought about it, sorted out the wording, and said cautiously, "We were about to go home, but we met that Yan Lie halfway through, pretending to be provocative, and Li Shi and Li Shi ......."
"Who asked you this?" the Zhu family master frowned and interrupted her, "How could you still meet those alien demon monks in ?——the misty forest?"
Chang Xi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart at the first moment: Oh~ It turns out that the four strange-looking monks are really from the alien demon clan?...... Later, Chang Xi reflected the question of the head of the Zhu family. After a pause, Chang Xi confessed honestly and said:
“...... The Kunlun Sect was about to summon disciples, and a few of us discussed it and decided to make more preparations so that we could join more confidently - so, we sneaked out of the mansion, but unexpectedly heard someone say that a divine beast appeared in the misty forest, so our brains were hot and we broke in. ”
"Who gave you the 'Qi Covering Fighting Cloak'?" the Zhu family master asked in a deep voice.
Chang Xi's ears turned red, and he replied in a low voice: "It's a ...... borrowed from Yao'er."
——Yao'er and Li Shi are close...... wanted to come to Yao'er to be coquettish to Li Shi, Li Shi was dazed for a while, and it was not impossible to borrow his family's heirloom "Qi Covering Battle Cloak"!
After thinking about it for a while, the head of the Zhu family sorted out the origin of the "Qi Covering Fighting Cloak", and said: "Divine Beasts?—— are you afraid that you have been deceived?
Chang Xi's scalp was numb, and he whispered: "The battle pet is divided into twelve levels, the first six levels are equivalent to the Qi refining period of human cultivation, and the last six levels are equivalent to the foundation building period of human cultivation...... After the twelfth order, there is a distinction between spirit beasts, holy beasts, and divine beasts, and it takes cultivation above the void period to be reluctantly subdued. ”
"You remember it well. The head of the Zhu family squinted at Chang Xi, "So, what is the result?"
Chang Xi tried his best to say in a flat tone: "...... Accepted. ”
"Huh?" the head of the Zhu family raised his eyebrows, looking completely disbelieving.
- In fact, Chang Xi also felt ridiculous!
When she took it, she didn't feel ...... However, when she just said the level of the battle pet, she felt that she was very abnormal-she was only in the Qi refining period, how could she possibly subdue the divine beast?!
Sigh...... She really subdued a divine beast.
With a straight face, Chang Xi spent a while before he calmly said, "It's a tailed Ying Long." ”
Zhu Family Master: "......"
"Ying Long ?!—— God...... Dragon, Dragon, Divine Beast!" The head of the Zhu family was dumbfounded, and he almost bit his own tongue! Fortunately, after many years of strong wind and rain, he quickly calmed down, put on a straight face, and asked quietly: "You have subdued Ying Long?"
"Yes. Chang Xi replied with low eyebrows.
The head of the Zhu family supported his forehead, only to feel that this matter was quite mysterious.
"So...... Let's not mention the dragon. The head of the Zhu family asked with a straight look, "Is it that many monks want to subdue this divine dragon, so you are targeted by those guys?"
“...... No, it should be said, we broke in unintentionally. Chang Xi recalled the scene at that time and confided in detail and detail.
So, one big and one small, one long and one young, one question and one answer, carried out half a column of incense for an hour.
To say that the divine dragon is also unlucky enough - under normal circumstances, which monk has subdued the divine dragon, and who is not happy? However, the female cultivator in front of her was so light and light that it seemed that she had accepted a harmless cute pet, so calm that the head of the Zhu family was about to suspect that Chang Xi had subdued not the divine dragon, but an ordinary beast.
The head of the Zhu family is also dead-eyed: when he learned that Chang Xi had subdued a divine dragon, he couldn't arouse interest in taking a look - the question was almost over, the head of the Zhu family lightly buckled the table, began to drive people away, and said lightly:
"Alright, I know, I know...... Rest early, and in a few days, the Kunlun faction will come to pick you up. ”
Chang Xi secretly glanced at the head of the Zhu family, and saw that he didn't mention the matter of Yan Lie at all, so he had to retreat silently, leaving the head of the Zhu family alone in the study-um~ The head of the Zhu family is in the foundation building period, and he has already opened the valley, so he doesn't need to eat at all......
Chang Xi came to the hall alone and found that there was only one table of food left in the room, and as for the wife of the house, they had long disappeared - probably because they were full of food and wine and rested separately?
It's also right ~ A lot of things happened today, and it really tossed the dead.
Sitting on a chair, Chang Xi scanned the table of meals briskly - not bad~ All the meals were steaming...... Each bowl contains vitality, which is indeed appetizing.
Don't think about Zhu Yan'er and their whereabouts, Chang Xiwu tasted the food by himself, and finally filled his belly.
After that, Chang Xi left the hall - the table ate the leftovers, and left it for the wife of the family to clean up tomorrow...... Looking up at the sky, Chang Xi was surprised to find that it was getting dark.
Time flies!
Chang Xi walked slowly.
Chang Xi wanted to return to his residence, but the ghost sent him to ...... Den.
How did she get here?
When she came back to her senses, Chang Xi patted her head, and just as she wanted to leave, she heard a conversation floating from the door, which made her involuntarily stop and eavesdrop on the corner of the wall weirdly-
"You...... What the hell do you think? Let that Yan Lie stay in the house. The first to speak out was the lady of the family, "Do you know his origin?—— I won't tell you anything, when I was having dinner today, I was all kinds of side knocks, but I couldn't ask for specific information, are you sure you can really control this kind of guy?
"Why didn't I understand, but ......," the head of the Zhu family sighed heavily, "just because he can easily solve Xi'er's problem, I have a reason to keep him here—and his request is also to stay in the house, isn't it?"
"He said he wanted your 'sponsorship'?" the lady of the family disagreed very much, "You don't know him......! Can you afford it? Don't you know what the Misty Forest is—"
"Stop. The head of the Zhu family shouted softly, "Don't mention the Misty Forest...... This is the biggest secret of the Zhu family, and it is absolutely not allowed to be told until the critical moment!"
The wife of the housekeeper made a voice of chagrin and regret.
The head of the Zhu family hurriedly comforted: "Don't mention that matter, let's talk about Xi'er first." ”
"Xi'er?" the wife of the family was puzzled, "What's wrong with Xi'er?"
"Originally, I was worried that Xi'er couldn't go to the Kunlun faction with Yan'er and them, but now ......" The head of the Zhu family breathed a sigh of relief, "With Yan Lie, I don't think I have to protect Xi'er to Kunlun." ”
The head of the house was silent for a moment.
The head of the Zhu family said again: "Don't eat it, I take care of Xi'er like this, you also understand the reason, don't you?—— think back then, if it wasn't for her father's help, how could I be promoted?......
"But, do you think her father is so kind?" the lady of the family snorted softly, "If there is no shielding formation in the mansion, how can that person foster Xi'er here?—— it's just a transaction, don't get dizzy." ”
This time, it was the turn of the Zhu family master to be silent.
After a while, the head of the Zhu family sighed: "Anyway, you don't get angry because I don't escort Yan'er and Yao'er...... They are my own daughters, how can I not care about them?"
"Hmph......" The wife of the housekeeper snorted with negative anger.
The head of the Zhu family comforted the wife of the family again.
...... Chang Xi stepped back cautiously.
She should be glad: fortunately, the head of the Zhu family and the wife of the head of the family did not defend themselves, otherwise they would have found out about her a long time ago.
Leaving the study, Chang Xi took a step forward and rushed to his residence.
It's still quiet.
Chang Xi ran home in a sullen voice, snapped, and closed the door hard!
Panting for breath, Chang Xi clutched his chest, still in disbelief......
I can't believe that she originally lived in Zhu's Mansion, not just by coincidence, but-
Raising her head blankly, Chang Xi suddenly felt very lonely: her childhood was so short that she couldn't remember the events of her childhood anymore - the only impression she still had was the hazy and tall back of her father holding her little hand every day, swinging his sword every day, cutting through the continuous blue smoke around her, until her father's vitality was exhausted and she had to hold her and run away quickly!
They fled a lot of places -
And yet useless!
The blue smoke has always been with her and her father...... They can't escape!
Until one day, when she awoke from her sleep, she found that she was lying here, lying on this little couch, and that it was quiet and safe all around—her father's vague, pale face had been caressing her forehead, and she had spoken something that she could not remember...... However, she vaguely remembered that it was her father who was comforting her.
Comfort her, comfort them that they have finally found a shelter.
Subsequently......
When she lived in Zhu's Mansion for a while, she received the news that her father had hit her mother's tombstone - she never saw him again......
It wasn't until she grew up that she understood that her father and mother should have gone to Huangquan!
...... Therefore, the price for her stay in the Zhu Mansion was exchanged for her by her father?
Closing her eyes, Chang Xi pondered quietly, and a faint sadness enveloped her heart—she had to remain calm...... The past is gone, and the future is in her hands!
She shouldn't have heard the conversation between the head of the Zhu family and the wife of the head of the family...... After all, it was the head of the Zhu family and the wife of the family who raised her, right?—— even if the wife of the house did not treat her very well in her heart, but usually, the wife of the house treated her very well.
What did she have to complain about?
Lying down slowly, Chang Xi just wanted to get a good night's sleep.
After all...... What happened today is too much.
Gradually, Chang Xi fell asleep.
Then, without her knowledge, her alien beast bag glowed—
A white light flew out!
