9. Promotion

"My dear, why hasn't our son been on the cut for so long?, isn't it......?" said Lady Betty, who was so uncomfortably silent that she could barely stand in her frustration, relying on her husband's strong arms to keep a little composure instead of moving back and forth at a rapid pace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Don't worry, my dear, our son is the best. This is a good sign, and the longer it lasts now, the greater the concentration of power, and the more beneficial it will be to the body and to practice in the future. Gail frowned slightly, and then reluctantly smiled at his wife and said, "It's just that the longer it goes, the heavier the burden on the body, if Shecius can't stand the pain, it will definitely have to suffer some hardship." ”

"You are a great sword master, can't you make your son stop, how can he endure such pain when he is so young!" Lady Betty broke away from her husband's arms as soon as she heard this, and said angrily, "How can you bear to let him suffer for so long, it has been half a night." ”

Gail smiled helplessly, patted Mrs. on the back and circled her back into his arms and comforted: "It's not that I don't want to, this is my son's own choice, in fact, he can already break through the promotion, but he has been compressing his strength, it seems that he wants his strength to be more refined." This is a good thing, although it is a little bitter, but it will be of great benefit to him in the future, and if our son is willing, we should not stop it. ”

"Oh, God of War, please bless my Xius and help him advance safely. Why didn't he think about how his parents felt when they saw him suffering so much!" Betty burst into tears when she heard this, but she held back, fearing that her sobbing would affect her son's persistence.

Viscount Gale was suddenly stunned when he heard this, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He jerked his head and swept towards the waiting crowd, looking for Nalko, the coachman who was protecting Shecius.

"Nalco, come here, don't make a sound. The viscount commanded majestically.

Nalco was in a hurry outside, when he heard the call of the adult, and immediately tiptoed over.

"I already know about the attack you encountered today, but isn't there anything special that hasn't been reported?"

Nalco was stunned when he heard this, and after recalling it carefully, he hesitated: "The young master was frightened earlier, maybe he was not in a good mood, could it be this reason?"

Gellloy thought for a moment and knew it was impossible: "No, my boy I know that if he feels that he is not mentally strong enough to support a breakthrough, he will never indulge in the gathering of power. There must be something else, think about it?"

Nalco lowered his head in deep thought, scrambling through the situation for once. Suddenly, he raised his head and said quickly in a low voice: "There is indeed a moment when the young master seems to be extremely angry, his eyes are blood-red, and he seems to be angry with the enemy. Oh yes, his enemy is a junior swordsman who can fight for energy. ”

"What?!" exclaimed Mrs. Betty, remembering the child who was breaking through, and forcibly lowered her voice so that it spoke very strangely. But by this time she could no longer care about the gaffe, she only wanted to know why her fourteen-year-old son had faced an attack from a real swordsman.

Gail's face also became gloomy, the city guards who rushed over in advance just now didn't report that there was a junior swordsman among the people who were ambushed this time. A warrior of this rank is of course an ant-like thing to him, but it is fatal to his son who is not yet vindictive.

Nalco bowed his head in shame: "I'm sorry, my lord, madam, at that time, I was only concerned about not letting the main culprit escape, but I didn't expect that there was still a person hiding in the shadows in the distance, and I also made a move on the young master." This is my fault, please punish my lordship and wife. ”

Gail waved his hand with a gloomy face: "Now is not the time to talk about this, since the other party is a junior swordsman, then why did Xiusi come back well?"

This sentence asked Tenalko's face changed slightly, it was very weird, and he hesitated, not knowing whether he should say his guess or not.

Gail glared at him: "If you say it, just say it, hesitate about something." ”

"Yes, my lord," Nalco sighed secretly, but still gave his opinion to the table, even though it might be very unpleasant to Madame, "in fact I think that the cloaked man didn't seem to intend to kill the young master at all, more like a lesson. I saw with my own eyes that the young master took the two swords that he used to use his fighting spirit, but the young master only fell down when he took the second sword, and there was no other damage except for the concussion of the fighting spirit. ”

"Shut up, how can you speak like that!" Sure enough, Madame did not like to hear this, and her eyebrows immediately rose, and she poured her anger out on the chauffeur with a ashamed expression.

"Well, ma'am, I think I know what made my son insist on doing this. Then Viscount Gale stopped the angry lady and laughed.

"My dear, ...... you," said Mrs. Betty, who had been stopped, looked surprised and was about to ask, when suddenly her face paused, for she saw her husband turn his head with a sudden expression of ecstasy. Immediately afterward, even she felt that a faint force rippled in the space for a moment and then disappeared in an instant.

"Hehe, I broke through~!" Xius, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes suddenly and shouted with joy.

Feeling the look in Hugh's eyes when he opened his eyes and the power surging slightly in his body, Viscount Gale was overjoyed, and almost wanted to step forward and hug the genius son in front of him. It's just that he was about to take a step, but he secretly smiled bitterly and forcibly restrained his excitement.

Because at this moment, he was suddenly a little scared, afraid that the cold Mo seed that he had planted in Xiusi's heart with those cold orders and harsh training on weekdays would suddenly burst out at this moment, afraid that his son's joyful smile would recur the moment he stepped forward......

"That tastes, hey, it's not very pleasant!" Viscount Gale shook his head imperceptibly as he tasted the bitterness in his heart, and then turned his head to look at his surprised wife in his arms.

Betty, who was already next to her husband, of course felt what he had just done, and she was as smart as she could understand her husband's discomfort just by thinking about it.

After glaring at the man in disgust and helplessness, her face bloomed, and she threw herself at her son with great joy.

"My good boy, congratulations on becoming a true swordsman!" Betty hugged Hughes in her arms and hugged him as hard as she could, and at this moment, she was extremely happy.

"Yes, Mom, I succeeded!" Hughes was embraced in his mother's warm and safe arms, and he was also very excited, and there was a faint glitter in the corner of his eye. But thinking about his current status as a junior swordsman, he felt that he shouldn't easily shed tears and make jokes. So he snorted with excitement, suppressed the strange feeling, and wrapped it in his heart.

"Congratulations, hehe, let me see your good son, let mom see what we look like on the first day of Shining City!" Betty let go of her son, and gently held his face to observe it carefully, the movement was gentle as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

Betty looked at her son carefully, happy in her heart.

Although he still has a somewhat embarrassed appearance on his body, the swordsman after breaking through is different, and the full sense of power is surging in him, and the slight subtle pressure in such a close range can be felt very clearly even if she doesn't know how to fight.

Joy grew from the bottom of her heart, and Betty's face became more and more flushed, as if she had drunk a mellow wine, but the tears dripping from the corners of her eyes made Hughes and Gale deeply feel all the love of a loving mother for her son.

It took a while for Betty to wake up from this feeling, and she was a little embarrassed.

It wasn't that she was crying before her son, but that she suddenly remembered that her husband was still anxiously waiting to get in touch with him.

Thinking of this, Betty couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, and glared at Gail with disgust.

"Mother's ......", looking at his mother's strange behavior, Xius inquired with a questioning gaze.

"Nothing. Betty didn't care about her husband, who had already understood the meaning and looked a little embarrassed, she gently pulled her son to Gail's side, and gently but seriously commanded: "Theseus, you can successfully break through, your father has put a lot of effort into it, he has been quietly guarding here all night, and he does not hesitate to release the strong man who has been hidden for a long time so that the whole castle can not disturb you without a single sound, he is very hard, you should seriously express your gratitude." ”

Gail's face blushed slightly when he heard this, although he thought that these were definitely what a father should do, but deep down, he certainly expected his son to be able to understand his painstaking efforts. If it really goes well, maybe the resentment accumulated over the years will also be dissipated. In that case, Gail felt that he would be able to relax a lot.

Probably no one in the castle was unaware of the conflict between Viscount Gael's and his son, and at this moment, everyone inside and outside the room was silently waiting for Shecius's response to Gale. As for whether this response is good or bad...... Some people shook their heads in their hearts, but still silently blessed them.

Her mother, Lady Betty, was still staring earnestly into the eyes of Hughes, and she was also worried that something would be out of place, but at such moments, she chose to trust her wise son, who must be able to appreciate his father's deep love for him under his strictness.

Suddenly, Betty smiled, and her smile was incomparably bright, like a thousand purples and reds blooming in spring.

"Thank you, Father!" When the room fell into extreme silence, to everyone's surprise, Hughes took a step forward with his right foot, his whole body suddenly lowered, and his head was buried deep in his chest, expressing his respect and love for his father.

"Ah, my child, don't do that, get up. Gail's heart was about to sink to the bottom, and the bitter taste in his heart became stronger, but just when he was almost disappointed, the situation suddenly changed, and his son, who had always been very cold to him, knelt down on one knee in front of him, and buried his head deep in his arms to say thank you. Gail couldn't help but exclaim!

Surprised, so unexpected, suddenly looking back at Madame's already crystal eyes and smiling expression, Gale felt that he really wanted to cry.

The tip of his nose was sour, and he was as cold as he had to twitch his nose to suppress the acidity to hide his gaffe.

"Father, I only now understand that if it weren't for the strict training you have been giving me, it would be difficult for me to come back fully tonight, let alone become a real swordsman. All of this is due to you! And the hardships I endured in the past and your stern attitude have turned into the eternal sun in my heart at this moment, radiating infinite light and heat, so that I can understand how to move forward in the future. Father, for my former Leng Mo, you should be a child's naughty smile, in the future, I will let you see a new Xiusi, that I understand responsibility, understand obligations, and know how to act. Thank you, and thank you very sincerely, my dear father. ”

Gail's eyes turned red, and he looked up to the sky and sighed.

And Betty was shocked at first, and then warm tears rolled down, stepped forward and hugged her son, helped him up hard, and kept chanting the word good boy in her mouth, the joy in her heart was like growing wings, flying throughout the space, everyone felt the same, and many maids also left tears.

At this time, Xiusi felt that his heart was extremely smooth, as if a large stone that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time was suddenly shattered by a huge force and disappeared, and even his breath was much more beautiful than usual, this is real relaxation, spiritual relaxation.

Gale finally smiled, and when his feelings were revealed, even the hideous centipede face softened a lot, and he slapped his son's right shoulder three times with a slight force, and then turned away without saying a word.

"Son, you are doing a very good job, and Mom is very happy. Betty smiled and shook her head, she knew that her husband still couldn't let go of face, and didn't want to yell with joy in front of everyone, he wanted to go back to the closed study to vent the joy that was about to erupt from the bottom of his heart.

However, that was the man's way, and her way was to kiss her son the forehead and praise him with a laugh in his ear.

The most majestic man in the castle left, and looking at the gentle, kind and generous hostess who was only left with joy, the butler servants who were waiting outside immediately cheered and surrounded them, and surrounded their favorite young master Xius in the middle, rejoicing for him and cheering for him. The situation was so warm and sincere that if it weren't for the strict aristocratic etiquette still restraining people, they would probably have lifted the young master in the air and threw it down a few times.

"Young Master, you are really amazing, I feel honored to serve you. ”

"You are the first day genius of Glorious City!"

"If you go to the royal capital in the future, you will definitely have a great future. ”

"The glory of the Houghton family will be carried forward in the future because of you. ”

......

...

There were so many voices in Shecius's ears that he would have been impatient if it was usual, but at this moment, all he felt was enthusiasm, sincerity, and joy, and he suddenly liked the excitement a little.

Betty, the mother, smiled as she watched a crowd of people make a fuss here, and she was proud to see her son surrounded in the center like a moon of stars.

After a while, the lively crowd gradually subsided, and Betty took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, everyone go about their own business, Xius is also tired and needs to rest, if you want to congratulate, tomorrow there is time, let's disperse, everyone will return." ”

Several middle-aged women in charge immediately carried out Madame's orders, and soon persuaded the excited servants to leave the room, leaving Betty and Hughes to talk alone.

"My dear son, you must be very tired, look at your dirty, wash and sleep, although it will be dawn soon, I will allow you to sleep lazily this time, hehe, I will go to your father's place, don't worry. ”

As soon as the Suffi man was speaking, a little maid blushed and ran back to pass the word.

"The adults said that the training in the morning was canceled, but only this once, not the next one. ”

"Hehe, I finally have the appearance of being a father. Betty was amused, and said things that seemed to complain, but just looking at her beautiful flowers, she understood that she was actually very satisfied with her husband's actions.
