Chapter 011: First Visit to Shangguan's Family
"In this freshman, her strength can be said to have the level of sitting on the two, and it can be seen from the actual battle of the Shentai Styx, why does the Shentai family have a transcendent position in the magic family, if the Shentai Styx awakens the space magic......" Zhongli Baiyi couldn't help but hold the cup in his hand tightly, he didn't fight directly with the Shentai Styx, but he was completely defeated in the battle with the Shentai Styx, and the space magic is simply cheating!
"Huh? Can you be stronger than your brother? Shangguan Yaqi exclaimed with an expression of disbelief, maybe Shangguan Haohui was not only the strongest in Zhongli Baiyi's heart, but even Shangguan Yaqi thought so.
"Don't be so surprised, there are many people in my generation who are stronger than me, like Xuanyuan, Dongfang and Murong ......"
"Haohui, it is appropriate to correctly recognize yourself and avoid arrogance." It was his father Shangguan Fengye who interrupted his speech, Shangguan Haohui has always been a proud son in his mind, even if the words just now were self-humble, such words were not what he wanted to hear, "But it is not a good thing to belittle yourself excessively, your shortcoming is that you have willful power but you have to restrain yourself." β
"Yes, father." In fact, Shangguan Haohui, who didn't know much about his father's meaning, had obvious doubts on his face, but he still habitually agreed.
"In addition, Shenxue has already awakened the spatial magic and become the alternate elder of the Tantai family." Shangguan Fengye raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, not caring at all about the sudden words that made the faces of everyone present change.
"Father, I have a question." Shangguan Yaqi raised her hand when Shangguan Haohui stood up in surprise but didn't have time to come back to his senses.
"Say it."
"Who is the betrothed person of the Yutai Stygian Snow?"
The result was very unexpected, Shangguan Fengye shook his head and said, "I don't know. β
"Doesn't my father know either?" Shangguan Haohui's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked at his father in surprise.
"In fact, after knowing that the daughter of the Tantai family was engaged, the nine families more or less inquired, but unfortunately they did not get any information." Shangguan Fengye put down the empty wine glass and looked at his son, "So there is only one possibility......"
"The marriage betrothed of the Dark Snow is the son of the Nine Great Families." Shangguan Haohui sat down slowly, muttering thoughtfully: "Is it for the sake of inheritance that you haven't announced it and hidden it so carefully?" β
"Her betrothed person can't be her brother, right?" Shangguan Yaqi came up with another answer from her personal guess, which was in a way her insistence, unwilling to admit that her initial guess was wrong.
"Huh?" Shangguan Haohui knocked down the cup in his hand in a panic because of his sister's words, with an embarrassed blush on his face, "Impossible, I haven't heard of the marriage contract at all." β
"Why do you think so?" Shangguan Fengye asked with interest, looking at his son's rare flustery and shyness with a slightly interesting smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was also pleased with his daughter's keen reaction.
"Father, is that true?" Shangguan Yaqi looked at her father seriously.
In her thoughts, since Shentai Mingxue is engaged to the descendants of the Nine Great Families, then her brother Shangguan Haohui is naturally among the candidates, if it is just because she is not good at theory, with the strength of the Shantai family and the personal strength of the Shentai Mingxue, the first high school will definitely be admitted exceptionally, how can she come to the third high school, then cultivating a relationship with her fiancΓ© is the best reason, she is not only a descendant of the Nine Great Families, but also a student of the third high school, then the brother is the only candidate.
Shangguan Fengye looked at his son, who was as casual as possible but was a little nervous in both expression and movement, and poured a glass of wine leisurely, "It's a pity, Yaqi's guess is wrong." β
"No, I thought it was absolutely so." Shangguan Yaqi looked incredulous.
"Yaqi, such speculation is rude to an engaged lady, remember." Mrs. Shangguan's expression was gentle but her words were more severe, even if she doted on her daughter, she didn't intend to let her be rude in terms of female identity and etiquette, after seeing her daughter's ashamed expression, she thought of the young lady of the Duanmu family, and then thought of several women who entered the school this year, and ordered quite seriously: "Haohui and Baiyi are the same, such a topic should not be discussed in front of the public." β
"Yes." Shangguan Haohui and Zhongli Baiyi stood up at the same time and answered respectfully.
Shangguan Fengye lowered his head and frowned in thought, he just noticed that Haohui showed an indescribable expression of relief or some disappointment because of that negative answer, could it be ......
Then he shook his head, thinking that it was too early to make a decision, he put the wine glass on the table and made a crisp sound, and commanded in a dignified and solemn posture: "Tomorrow, Shenxue will visit the Shangguan family as an alternate elder of the Lantai family, Haohui and Yaqi, and prepare for the reception." β
"Yes, father." Shangguan Haohui and Yaqi straightened their sitting postures and replied at the same time.
The next day, in the still blazing sunshine, Shentai Mingxue and Shantai Styx came to Shangguan's house on the magnetic tram, and stood in front of the gate of Shangguan's mansion to greet Shangguan Haohui, Shangguan Yaqi and Zhongli Baiyi.
Looking at Shangguan Haohui and Shangguan Yaqi's same fiery red hair color, she was quite surprised to think that Shangguan Haohui's red hair was inherited by blood, and when they first met, they thought it was dyed.
"Excuse me today!" The Styx and the Styx bent down at the same time.
"No, I'm glad you're here." Here, Shangguan Haohui, Shangguan Yaqi and Zhongli Baiyi also bowed in return.
The mansion of the Shangguan family is an obvious ancient building, with a vermilion gate, one side of the gate is the corner gate that usually enters and exits, the other side is the traffic passage, the high wall, the courtyard is planted with creepers, peonies and peonies and other flowers, the front of the gate is a shadow wall, and through the shadow wall is the largest formal living room.
Following Shangguan Haohui to the forefront, Shentai Shenxue could feel the powerful magic array hidden in these wall patterns, especially the huge aura of explosive magic on the shadow wall, which fully demonstrated that this was the identity of the Shangguan family.
After passing through the huge living room and walking through the small hanging flower door in the middle corridor, Shangguan Haohui did not continue to move forward, but walked along the lotus pond next to him for a long time, after passing through the crescent moon door inside, the semicircular gravel walkway, the marble pond was planted with lotus flowers, and there were a few huge goldfish shaking their heads and tails, and a wide three-story villa that did not show luxury came into view.
Before stepping into the gate of the villa, Shangguan Haohui stood in front of Shentai Mingxue and asked expressionlessly, "Why didn't you use space magic in the actual skill assessment?" β
