"If you want me to join the Xu family, it's not impossible!" Xu Ziyan said lightly.

Hearing that Xu Ziyan was willing to join his family, Xu Haobo was overjoyed in his heart, but he was worried that Xu Ziyan would humiliate his fourth brother, and his face couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Xu Ziyan saw the embarrassment on Xu Haobo's face, and naturally knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Thinking that he just needs a good cultivation environment, he naturally won't be embarrassed by Xu Haomiao, even if he wants to take revenge, he also has to wait for the time when he has that strength. But on the surface, Xu Ziyan naturally couldn't show it, and just said lightly:

"If you want me to join the Xu family, I don't know what the benefits of Lu Dao are? And I'm not willing to be too tied up. ”

When Xu Haobo heard that Xu Ziyan did not mention his fourth brother, he was sure in his heart, with a sincere smile on his face, and said cordially:

"Master, as long as you are willing to join our Xu family, I can ask the patriarch to give you the position of a guest elder, and enjoy all the offerings at the elder level. All you have to do is make some paper charms for your family every month. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Xu Ziyan and said softly: "Of course, when the master cultivates to a high level in the future, if the family is in danger, please ask the master to lend a hand, and for now, the family can also send a master to protect you." ”

Hearing Xu Haobo say this, Xu Ziyan knew that the other party had seen his cultivation, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his cultivation was low. However, she also saw that Xu Haobo valued herself, and she did not give herself any restraints. After a little thought, he nodded:

"It's good!"

Seeing Xu Ziyan agree, Xu Haobo was overjoyed, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Go, master, go with me to see the patriarch." ”

Under the leadership of Xu Haobo, he walked into the layers of courtyards, and finally met Xu Haoran, the contemporary head of the Xu family. At first, Xu Haoran frowned slightly when he saw his second brother come in with a teenage girl, but when Xu Haobo said what happened, Xu Haoran's slightly frowning brows immediately stretched, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Looking at Xu Ziyan's gaze, he also softened a lot, but there was sharpness in the softness, and his eyes looked Xu Ziyan up and down like an invisible sword. Xu Ziyan immediately felt that under Xu Haoran's gaze, it was as if he had been stripped of his clothes layer by layer, revealing himself in front of the other party without concealment.

This made Xu Ziyan's heart very uncomfortable, and while facing huge pressure, a wave of shame and helplessness also rose in his heart.

"This is the difference in strength!"

A fine bead of sweat oozed from the door of the head. With a "ding" sound, a drop of sweat slipped from the tip of his nose and fell to the ground. Just when Xu Ziyan was about to collapse under Xu Haoran's pressure, Xu Haoran withdrew his sharp gaze. Xu Ziyan immediately felt that his body was loose, and he couldn't help shaking it for a while, before he re-stabilized his body, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart:

"Is this the power of a master?"

However, Xu Ziyan was a human being in two lives after all, and he only lost his temper for a few seconds, and then instantly regained his calm. Xu Haoran, who had been observing her, had a trace of appreciation in his eyes. Then he turned his gaze to Xu Haobo, his eyes revealing inquiry, revealing that he was asking, can this young and unspeakable little girl in front of him really be able to refine talismans?

Xu Haobo immediately understood what the eldest brother meant, and without stopping at all, he immediately nodded firmly. Xu Haoran was relieved, although he was surprised in his heart, but he was very happy. The girl in front of her is so young, as long as the family gives her enough support, then she will grow up quickly. was about to speak, but he heard a sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, and when he raised his eyes, the corners of Xu Haoran's mouth couldn't help but pass a wry smile. It was none other than Lin Pinghai, the enshrined elder of the family rune hall. This Lin Pinghai was originally not a member of the Xu family, but a talent that Xu Haoran had dug up with great effort and a lot of money, and he was currently the only one in the Xu family who could make a real first-class paper talisman. Xu Haobo is just barely able to make a first-class paper rune, and its quality is much lower than the real first-grade paper rune, while Lin Pinghai is different, he is a person who can really make a first-class paper rune. Therefore, although Xu Haobo is the hall master of Fu Tang, it is because he is a direct disciple of the Xu family. But the highest status in the Fu Hall is Lin Pinghai, who is the only one of the Xu family's Fu Hall to worship the elders.

In the Xu family, in addition to the fact that the hall master must be a member of the Xu family, the highest status is to worship the elders, followed by the elders, and then the guest elders. But worship the elders and elders that are the real members of the Xu family, whether you are surnamed Xu or not, if you break away from the Xu family one day, you will be regarded as a traitor to the family, and will be hunted down by the entire family, of course, as long as you do not betray the family, the status and benefits you get in the family are also very huge. But Elder Keqing is different, Elder Keqing can leave the family he works for at any time, but his status and benefits in the family are of course impossible to compare with the Worship Elder and Elder.

Today, Lin Pinghai heard that Xu Haobo brought a very young girl to meet the head of the family, and it was said that the girl could make a top-grade paper talisman, he immediately couldn't sit still, and came to the council hall with his feet raised. As soon as he entered the council hall, his eyes immediately fell on Xu Ziyan's body. There is no way, who let only Xu Ziyan and a young girl stand there in the entire hall. Seeing that the girl in front of him was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was only a first-level cultivator in the Qi refining period, Lin Pinghai's face fell, and his eyes became extremely cold, and even with anger and ridicule, he shouted coldly:

"Whose girl are you? Dare to run here to deceive the master! Do you think there is no one in the Xu family? Saying this, he took two more steps, walked in front of Xu Ziyan, stretched out his finger and pointed at Xu Ziyan's nose, posed as an elder, and shouted very unceremoniously:

"I didn't learn well at a young age, and I dared to deceive the Xu family, don't you know how to write the dead word of Lu Dao?"

As soon as Lin Pinghai's words came out, the expressions of the people in the council hall were different. Xu Haoran's expression had a hint of expectation, he also wanted to see Xu Ziyan's true skills, to see if Xu Ziyan could really refine a top-grade paper talisman, after all, hearing is false, seeing is believing. And Xu Haobo's face showed a helpless expression, he knew that Lin Pinghai had always been the first person in the Xu family in talisman making, and he was usually very arrogant, and sometimes he didn't even give face to the big brother. He also knew in his heart that the Dao talisman making technique was an esoteric knowledge, not to mention Lin Pinghai, even he absolutely didn't believe that the girl in front of him could make a top-notch paper talisman. Now Lin Pinghai obviously doesn't believe that Xu Ziyan can make a top-grade paper talisman, and what's even worse is that his words are very heavy, and he didn't save the slightest face for Xu Ziyan at all, Xu Haobo didn't want to lose Xu Ziyan's treasure because of Lin Pinghai. But he also knew that once Lin Pinghai's character was called true, no one would give him face. In this way, his face can only show helplessness. And in his heart, he also wanted to see Lin Pinghai's expression after Xu Ziyan revealed his ability, thinking about Lin Pinghai's arrogance in the past when he didn't put himself in his eyes, he actually had a little joy in his heart.

At this time, Xu Ziyan didn't know Lin Pinghai's identity, but she was sure in her heart that the person in front of her must be able to make talismans, and the level should not be low, otherwise she would not blame herself like this. But his tone made Xu Ziyan unhappy, very unhappy, very unhappy! In other words, whoever is scolded by pointing his nose will feel uncomfortable, not to mention that Xu Ziyan is not in a hurry to be the guest elder of the Xu family, and he can't help but feel angry in his heart, so he took a step sideways, dodged Lin Pinghai, ignoring Lin Pinghai's existence at all, and looked at Xu Haoran who was seated with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the meaning was clear:

"Who is this? Could it be that the people of your Xu family can casually shout at the guests in the council hall? ”

Of course, Xu Haoran in the seat immediately understood the meaning of Xu Ziyan's gaze, and his face couldn't help revealing a trace of embarrassment, and he couldn't help but reposition Xu Ziyan in his heart. He didn't expect Xu Ziyan to be able to grasp the situation so skillfully at such a young age, and he didn't pay attention to Lin Pinghai who scolded her, but looked at himself. If Xu Ziyan scolded her when Lin Pinghai reprimanded her, whether she explained immediately or became angry, she would lose her momentum, but now Xu Ziyan simply looked at her, and handed over the problem to herself in an instant, not only did she not lose her identity, but also with a faint arrogance. In this way, Xu Haoran had to speak:

"Lin worship, this ......"

"Patriarch, don't be deceived by her, see how I expose her!"

This Lin Pinghai really didn't give Xu Haoran face, and Xu Haoran's words, which were cut off at that time, stared at Xu Ziyan with anger and arrogance. To say that he is not usually a person who does not know the depth of the Dao, he would not interrupt the patriarch who has just said half of what he has just said. He was also angry by Xu Ziyan's actions just now, who is he? The most important talisman maker of the Xu family, but now he is ignored by a little girl, doesn't he feel that he has a bad attitude, is it necessary to be polite to a liar who dares to deceive the patriarch? Besides, he thinks that he is also safeguarding the interests of the family, not only is he not guilty, but he should also be meritorious. Thinking about it for a while, after exposing Xu Ziyan's tricks, the patriarch looked grateful and guilty, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

Xu Haoran was choked back by Lin Pinghai's words, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart, and he also didn't like Lin Pinghai's behavior, but in his heart, he didn't want to offend Lin Pinghai, after all, he hadn't seen Xu Ziyan's ability, so he looked at Xu Ziyan.
