By noon, the snow had stopped, revealing a warm ray of sunshine.

When Jiang Chen woke up from his sleep, it was already noon, and the temperature felt relatively warm.

After a simple cleaning, and then changing into a set of clothes, the whole person looked extraordinarily energetic.

"Jiang Chen, are you up?" Jiang Chen had just changed his clothes and was about to clean up his clothes, when a deep voice came in from outside the door, and after listening carefully, it was his father, who hurriedly put down the work in his hand, Jiang Chen answered, and then opened the door.

"Father. As soon as the door opened, his father's tall figure came into view, and Jiang Chen was busy bowing down to say hello.

"No need to be polite, I heard your Uncle Qin Lan say that your injuries should recover within a day or two, so I came over to take a look, and sure enough, you have woken up. Jiang Yuan was dressed in gray clothes, and he was wearing a very **, and when he looked at it, he was a little afraid. Of course, although it was stern on the surface, the strong love for Jiang Chen in his tone was not something that one or two clothes could hide.

"Let my father worry, I ......" Father's words were very warm, directly isolating the cold of winter, Jiang Chen paused, returned with a smile, and was about to say something, but Jiang Yuan interrupted.

"Don't say anything else, your Uncle Qin Xiao has already told me, as for Zhang Wuliang and Wang Tieshan, they didn't come to our clan to make trouble, so you don't have to worry. After looking at Jiang Chen for a while, Jiang Yuan pulled out a smile on his serious face, patted Jiang Chen's shoulder, and praised: "Good boy, in just three days, he has actually reached the peak of the Ninth Rank Martial Artist, this kind of cultivation speed makes my father very ashamed." ”

"Uh. Jiang Chen was stunned, and then pulled out a wry smile from his face: "Father's eyes are really vicious, and with a simple glance, he can see through my strength." ”

Jiang Yuan touched the relatively short beard, and looked at Jiang Chen with a smile, his expression was very happy, in just three days, his son had actually improved from a sixth-rank martial artist to the peak of a ninth-rank martial artist, this kind of cultivation speed can be regarded as a demon, looking at the entire Tianyuan Empire, I am afraid that I can't find anyone who can compare with Jiang Chen.

Thinking that he had such a son who could be called a demon, Jiang Yuan felt relieved in his heart. However, after being relieved, he was naturally full of doubts, wondering how Jiang Chen's strength improvement could be so terrifying, and who would be the person who helped Jiang Chen behind him? What are the intentions?

Seeing his father's unpredictable expression, Jiang Chen immediately understood the meaning, in order not to expose the existence of Shen Yun'er's goblin, he interrupted his father Jiang Yuan's thinking with some embarrassment: "Father, I don't know...... I wonder what you're looking for me?"

Pulled back from his doubts by Jiang Chen, Jiang Yuan nodded thoughtfully, he knew that Jiang Chen was afraid that he would ask the reason for the promotion, so he didn't ask more, and said, "There is a guest at home today, saying that it is from the Martial Arts Academy, please come over and see it." ”

"From the Martial Arts Academy?" Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Jiang Chen's heart suddenly became vigilant, and his eyebrows were also deeply locked at the same time. Martial Arts Academy, since he was kicked out by Zhang Qian and others, he has never gone back, counting the time, it's almost a month and a half, how can anyone come to find him there?

"In the martial arts academy, there is no one I know. Jiang Chen analyzed it in his heart, but still didn't come up with a reason, raised his eyes and looked at his father, Jiang Chen asked, "Father said that someone from the martial arts academy came to me?"

Regarding Jiang Chen's question, Jiang Yuan shook his head, saying that he didn't know, he had no dealings with the forces of the Martial Arts Academy, and he hadn't even seen it, so who was coming? What was the intention? He had no way of knowing.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Yuan said: "Looking at his dress, he looks like a messenger, as for who it is, my father doesn't know, En...... We don't have to guess anymore, we will know when we see it in the past?"

Touching his nose, Jiang Chen smiled a little embarrassedly, the guests were still waiting, but he stood outside the door and guessed, it was really disrespectful: "Well, I'll go over now." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded, waved his robe, turned around and took the lead in moving away.

Looking at his father's back, Jiang Chen paused: "Although my father always has a smile on his face during the short conversation, I don't know how sad it is, it seems that ...... I have to help my father regain his strength quickly. ”

Clenching his fists, Jiang Chen muttered to himself and followed.

On the way to the hall.

Jiang Chen, who was following Jiang Yuan, pillowed his head with his hands on his hands, walking leisurely, and when his eyes looked around, he found that at this moment in the front yard, there were nearly a thousand figures gathered, they were either walking on horses, or punching, or practicing swordsmanship and sticks, and their efforts were visible.

This scene made Jiang Chen stunned, and then he sped up his pace, caught up with his father Jiang Yuan, and asked, "Father, why are so many clansmen gathering in the front yard today to cultivate?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan paused, turned his eyes to look at the clansmen in the distance with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Due to the blood of the six-winged bat being withdrawn from the body, the strength of the clansmen has collectively declined, and in order to restore their strength, the clansmen will often gather together to cultivate, hoping to help each other. Although this cultivation method is a bit slow, it is not bad, and the strength of the clansmen has also recovered a lot in just one month. ”

Looking at the figures of the clansmen, Jiang Chen's heart was a little tingling, and his hands subconsciously couldn't help but clench tightly: "The clansmen's bloodline has been withdrawn, and everything blames me." ”

With his gaze retracted, Jiang Yuan glanced at Jiang Chen, and seeing his son's self-reproachful appearance, he was also a little uncomfortable. Stretching out his huge palm and patting Jiang Chen's shoulder, Jiang Yuan smiled: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, it's not your fault, if you want to blame, blame those people from the six-winged bat group." ”

After tearing a bitter smile on his face, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "Father, I will work hard to cultivate, and I will definitely participate in the competition of the six-winged bat group." ”

Hearing Jiang Chen's solemn promise, Jiang Yuan smiled with relief, and then said, "Father believes in you, I believe that you will work hard to cultivate, but now is not the time to stay here, so as not to neglect the visitors." ”

After speaking, Jiang Yuan shook his head, and then walked forward again.

"We must work hard to reach the pinnacle of skin refining so that we can restore the strength of our people. Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind.

Hall.

When Jiang Yuan and Jiang Chen's figures walked into the hall, a middle-aged man sitting on the seat and sipping fragrant hot tea suddenly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and stepped forward and said, "I have seen the head of the Jiang Yuan family, Young Master Jiang Chen." ”

"Brother Liang, please take a seat, you're welcome. Jiang Yuan waved his hand, motioned for the middle-aged man to sit down, and then walked to the main seat and sat down, beckoned the housekeeper Bai Wu Old Man to come, and instructed: "Let people serve some refreshments, don't neglect the guests." ”

"Yes. After the steward received the order, he retreated.

Here, after Jiang Chen sat down, his eyes locked on the middle-aged man, squinting slightly, and he was very puzzled: "Who is this person?

Although the martial arts academy is very large, most of them are apprentices, and there are only a few instructors, but this person in front of him is not a mentor, so who will it be?

Just when Jiang Chen was puzzled, the middle-aged man smiled respectfully at Jiang Yuan before he spoke: "Young Master Jiang Chen, I came down this time because I was ordered by the hall master to invite Young Master Jiang Chen to go to the martial arts academy. ”

Hearing this, not only Jiang Chen was stunned, but even Jiang Yuan, who was on the main seat, changed his expression suddenly.

"The Martial Arts Academy is mainly looking for Jiang Chen?" On the main seat, Jiang Yuan frowned, although he rarely came into contact with things in the outside world, but he still knew something about the so-called Martial Arts Hall Master, I heard that this person was an old witch, and his strength was visible, this kind of character, what is the matter with Jiang Chen?

"The old witch is looking for me?" Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Jiang Chen also frowned, as a member of the martial arts academy in the past, he should have heard the name of the hall master, but he had never seen it.

"This eldest brother, I don't know why the master of the Martial Arts Academy invited me to go?"

"Young Master Jiang Chen, I was also ordered to come here, as for what happened, I don't know, please ......" The middle-aged man smiled politely, and then said.

Waving his hand, Jiang Chen interrupted the middle-aged man's words, he knew what the latter was going to say, after thinking about it, he stood up and said, "Father, since the master of the martial arts academy has something to invite, I will go with this eldest brother." ”

Seeing this, a smile suddenly appeared on the middle-aged man's face, which was much richer than the previous one: "Is this the young master of the Jiang family in the mouth of outsiders?

In order not to embarrass himself, he readily agreed, and the middle-aged man's good impression of Jiang Chen has increased a lot.

On the main seat, Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Brother Liang, there is no hurry to recover your life, let's stay and eat some refreshments before going back." ”

I agreed to this.

The middle-aged man stood up, respectfully bowed his hand to Jiang Yuan, and then said: "Thank you Jiang Yuan for your hospitality, but after ordering the order of the hall master, it is not good to stay longer, I hope you will forgive me." ”

"You're polite, since Brother Liang has something to do, then I won't keep it much, and I hope that Brother Liang can come to the house to sit down when I have time. Smiling, Jiang Yuan said politely.

"Well, the head of the Jiangyuan family will leave first, and I will come to visit the house another day. He politely bowed his hand to Jiang Yuan again, and then the middle-aged man turned around and said with a smile: "Young Master Jiang Chen, please follow along." ”

After breathing a sigh of relief, Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, and then left with the middle-aged man.

At this time, a sound of breaking wind resounded in the hall, and beside Jiang Yuan, a middle-aged man with a fierce aura appeared, looking at his appearance and figure, who else would it be if it wasn't Qin Xiao?

"Big brother, the master of the Martial Arts Academy, what is the matter with Jiang Chen's little guy?" Qin Xiao looked at the back of Jiang Chen and the middle-aged man leaving, frowned, and asked solemnly.

"This eldest brother also doesn't know, and he has never heard of Jiang Chen knowing the hall master of the Martial Arts Academy. After a pause, Jiang Yuan replied.

Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows, and then said: "The hall master of the Martial Arts Academy, I heard that it is a strong martial emperor, Jiang Chen's little guy will not be in danger if he goes alone, right? ”

Regarding Qin Xiao's proposal, Jiang Yuan hesitated for a while before he said: "Although the martial arts academy has a strong background, it rarely takes the initiative to provoke other forces, looking at the middle-aged man's expression, I believe it is not for the Jiang family." In my opinion, let's wait and see. ”

Hearing Jiang Yuan say this, Qin Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay then." ”

Jiang Yuan patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Have you noticed that little guy's strength has grown?"

"I found out, in just three days, I was promoted to the third level in a row, and I directly crossed from the sixth rank to the peak of the ninth rank martial artist, and the terrifying cultivation speed of Jiang Chen's little guy really made me feel ashamed. Qin Xiao shook his head with a wry smile.

"Haha, big brother feels this way too. Jiang Yuan laughed and said, "Recently, I can hear that you are good at chess, brother, let's go and kill a game." ”

"That's what I mean, let me accompany my eldest brother to kill today. Qin Xiao replied, and then left the hall with Jiang Yuan with a smile.
