Chapter 21: The Lucky Man
Time flies, more than a month has passed, today, is the Shen family's annual Fighting Immortal Conference, simply put, the Shen family's disciples learn from each other, in order to sharpen the disciples in the clan, and at the same time improve the experience of the enemy.
Shen Yuexue got up early, because today is also her birthday. It was freezing outside, but Shen Yuexue didn't feel cold at all, she was still dressed in gray clothes, full of energy.
Shen Yuexue prepared breakfast and brought it to her mother into the house, at this time of year, Yueying could not go out of the house again, her body could not stand the extremely cold weather.
At this moment, there are seven or eight charcoal pots in Yueying's house, and the house is warm. Since Shen Yuexue went to Yi Bao Pavilion last time to get back the silver from the auction of her elixir, now, Shen Yuexue, who is already a little rich woman, has arranged the lives of the mother and daughter properly, what is the amount of spending money, as long as she can make her mother comfortable.
"Yue'er, today is your birthday, and after today, you will be a fifteen-year-old girl."
In this day and age, a woman's fifteenth birthday means that she has grown up. Looking at her daughter's increasingly slender figure recently, Yue Ying smiled contentedly.
"Come, the clothes my mother made for you, put them on and try them on."
It turned out that Yueying was in a hurry this month, just to make a winter coat for Shen Yuexue as a birthday gift. Shen Yuexue changed the clothes sewn by Yueying, although the fabric was not luxurious, but the animal skin she had brought back was used inside, which was warm and comfortable.
"Mother, look, is it good-looking?"
Shen Yuexue turned around in front of Yueying, Yueying nodded with satisfaction, let Shen Yuexue come over, and gently untied the bun on her head.
"You're a big girl, you can wear a high bun."
Shen Yuexue felt her mother's hand combing her hair one by one, and her heart was warm, but she was clumsy, and such a complicated bun was always uncombed, so she didn't want to bother more. Fortunately, her mother is here, and she will come to her mother to comb her hair when she gets up in the future, Shen Yuexue thought lazily.
"You, don't think about letting me comb your hair in the future, you have to study hard, and when you get married in the future, do you want me to go over and comb your hair?"
Her daughter Yueying understood, with her expression, Yueying knew what Shen Yuexue was thinking.
"Mother, I'm only fifteen years old, it's too early for you to worry about this, wait for me to get my father back in the future, and we will live together as a family of three, how good."
If it was before, Shen Yuexue didn't dare to mention that she was worried that her mother would be sad, but now that Shen Yuexue's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, it seems that it is no longer such a distant thing to find her father, so Shen Yuexue dares to mention this stubble.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to get your father back for me." Yue Ying smiled, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
……
The Shen family's martial arts arena is located on the northernmost side of the Shen family, and the area of the martial arts arena is not much different from the Shen family square, but the surrounding area of the martial arts arena is surrounded by stone steps, and those who have not drawn the game can watch the battle at the time.
At this moment, the disciples of the Shen family in the martial arts arena had already arrived, and they were chatting in groups, mostly exchanging cultivation experiences and interesting anecdotes about going out hunting.
"Yuexue, come quickly."
Shen Zhi, who was dressed in red, stood there and waved to Shen Yuexue, Shen Yuexue saw the reaction of others, and strode towards Shen Zhi.
"Take it, your birthday present."
Shen Zhi handed a delicate small box to Shen Yuexue, opened it and saw that there was a pearl hairpin lying there quietly, the hairpin was not ostentatious, but the five pearls on the head were hugged into a small flower, and in the middle was a pink pearl stamen.
"It's so beautiful, thank you Sister Zhi."
Shen Yuexue was moved by Shen Zhi's carefulness, thinking that she was an adult, and gave her a hairpin, although it was not as delicate as her mother gave her, but this was Shen Zhi's heart, and Shen Yuexue carefully put away the hairpin.
Shen Qian looked at Shen Yuexue in the square with a cold expression, he didn't understand, what was there to save Shen Yuexue's life in this body, so that Shen Song could also be planted in her hands.
Since the last time he ordered Shen Song to kill Shen Yuexue, Shen Song has disappeared, and he has not seen anyone dead or dead, and if he thinks about it, the chance of living is slim. It's just that Shen Qian doesn't understand what secret this Shen Yuexue has.
"Patriarch Shen, why is your face not very good."
It was Lin Mao who spoke, and the Shen family's grand event naturally wanted to invite other families to come and watch, this was to deter, and the other was to compare. At this moment, the pair of men and women who followed Lin Mao were the most talented in this generation of the Lin family, and they were the candidates that the Lin family was going to send to the Panshan Sect to cultivate this year.
"I guess Patriarch Shen hasn't recovered from the last auction yet." Gao Xiang took the opportunity to ridicule on the side, although he was a lot older, his heart was not much better than that of a child.
"Grandpa, taste it, this fruit is good."
Gao Xiang was followed by a girl in yellow, this girl was Gao Xiang's granddaughter Gao Shanshan, and she was also the most talented in the Gao family's generation. His grandfather is a lot older, but this character, hey, really offends people.
The girl of the Lin family pouted unremittingly, she had long heard that the Gao family had a genius, it turned out to be like this, she looked so weak, I don't know if it was as powerful as the legend. And the other Tianjiao of the Lin family stared at Gao Shanshan with aggressive eyes at the moment, and licked his lips, this woman looks delicious, it is said that she will also participate in the selection of disciples of the Backing Mountain Sect, I really hope that she can be selected, so ......
Gao Shanshan felt a very uncomfortable gaze, and when she looked back, the Lin family man stared at her, which made Gao Shanshan shiver, and hurriedly turned her head away and ignored it. The people of the Lin family, she didn't want to provoke.
……
"At the beginning of the group, everyone stands according to their rank, and then draws their own number from the barrel, and two people with the same number form a group."
When the voice fell, the disciples of the Shen family automatically lined up according to their ranks, waiting to receive the number, the white-clothed disciples started first, the red-clothed disciples followed, and the gray-clothed disciples last, and Shen Yuexue was the last of the gray-clothed disciples.
Glancing at the ball she received, Shen Yuexue frowned, because it was a red ball. It stands to reason that this shouldn't be, because the red ball should be the red-clothed disciple's.
"Sir, mine is the wrong one."
Shen Yuexue's eyes flashed and said, sure enough, when Shen Yuexue, who was dressed in gray, raised the red ball in her hand high, there was a buzzing discussion in the square.
"That's right, this year, you will perform a mentoring competition instead of the gray-clothed disciple."
It turned out that the number of gray-clothed disciples this year was singular, and coincidentally, there was also one more red-clothed disciple, so there were two people who were idle, so a gray-clothed disciple and a red-clothed disciple were arranged together, with a clear intention, that is, to let the red-clothed disciple be directly promoted.
Shen Yuexue felt a chill in her heart when she heard this, it was no big deal to play the coaching competition, pretend to be stupid, don't let yourself get hurt, she doesn't want Shen Qian to know her bottom now, it's better to hide her edge. However, Shen Yuexue was afraid that this matter was not so simple.
"In the first round, Shen Rafter vs. Shen Hui, a low-level disciple, the game begins."
Sure enough, the competition still started with low-level disciples as always, in the eyes of high-level disciples and patriarchs, such a game is no different from a child's fight, you can't use spells, you only compete with strength and body, and some people even have some smart moves, but they can't attract everyone's attention at all.
The competition of the gray-clothed disciples is very fast, they are learning from each other, there is no need to fight to the death, and the gap between the disciples is not big, and the audience is not strong, so everyone has no energy. Two hours later, hundreds of gray-clothed disciples had already completed the competition, uh, no, only Shen Yuexue was left.
When Shen Yuexue stepped onto the competition platform, the focus of the audience was on her, for no other reason, everyone just wanted to know which person was so lucky that he could qualify for the promotion without having to go through the struggle of disciples of the same level.
I saw a fiery red figure slowly appear in everyone's sight, and the audience was silent. When Shen Qian found this abnormality, he looked up and gasped, how could it be, shouldn't his daughter lie on the bed to recuperate? How did it come out here.
I saw that Shen Yan's long hair that he was proud of on weekdays was gone, his shoulder-length short hair was not tied up, flying in the wind, and most of the skin on his face was intact, but a scar on his forehead was very dazzling.
It's over, Shen Yan is disfigured, and this voice appears in everyone's hearts at the same time. Although she can also look for pills to restore her appearance, with everyone's understanding of Shen Yan, such hatred, she will not let go of Shen Yuexue today.
Glancing back at the referee who seemed to be asleep, Shen Yuexue's heart was cold, it turned out that it had been arranged a long time ago. I just don't know if this was Shen Qian's idea, or if Shen Yan arranged it himself.
"Sakura, nonsense, come down."
Shen Qian shouted loudly, the two patriarchs around him were interested, this eldest lady of the Shen family has a bad temper and everyone knows it, but how did she become like this today, and judging by the situation, it seems to have something to do with the gray-clothed girl.
Shen Qian's voice contained anxiety, but no one heard it, because no one knew except Shen Qian that Shen Song, who was at the seventh level of Qi refining, had died under Shen Yuexue's hands, and Shen Yan personally challenged it, so Shen Qian was naturally not at ease.
"Shen Yan, come down, don't mess around."
If it weren't for the fact that the two fierce rivals were here, Shen Qian would have already flown out to capture Shen Yan back. However, Shen Yan still heard other people's words, only to see a black object appear in his hand as soon as he raised his hand.
"Shen Yuexue, die."
The cold light flashed in Shen Qian's eyes, it was actually Lei Zhu, she actually dared to use Lei Zhu, which was tantamount to injuring the enemy by one thousand and self-inflicting eight hundred.
"Stop."
The moment Shen Qian shouted, the person had already flown out, and at the same time, there was a big explosion on the competition platform, and black smoke spread out. And at this moment, a red silk thread on Shen Yan's body suddenly floated up, and the end of the silk thread was held in the hands of another person, who was the referee who presided over the competition, Shen Yan, who was at the eighth level of qi refining.
"Moon Snow!"
Seeing this, Shen Zhi and Shen Feng also hurriedly rushed towards the competition platform.
