Volume 1 East Border City Chapter 5 Xuan Lei Zong
Everyone followed Chu Ning along the path, entered through the small door next to him, and then turned three more corners, and finally entered a wide courtyard, straight forward, and stopped in front of a solemn hall door, Chu Ning knocked on the door respectfully, and then gently pushed the door in.
The hall is very spacious, and there are a lot of people among them, and the few who sit at the top are Chu Zhou and the three old men, the middle one is dressed in a black long robe, and his sword eyebrows are horizontal, and he is not smiling Chu Xingzhou, the head of the Chu family. The other two are the Great Elder and the Second Elder, these four people are the supreme power holders of the Chu family, and all the arrangements of the Chu family must be approved by these four people.
On the other side, there were two strangers sitting, looking at the clothes on their bodies, presumably these were the people who went to the Chu family with Lei Peng.
Some puzzled eyes swept over the strange two, one of them was an old man in a blue robe, the old man had white hair and a large number of old age spots on his face, but he was full of energy, full of smiles, and a pair of small eyes, which were bright and shining.
Beside the old man, there was also a girl sitting, the same age as Chu Yunfeng, with a beautiful appearance, a blue jade pendant hanging from her delicate earlobe, swaying slightly, making a crisp jade sound, abruptly showing a touch of delicateness.......
When Chu Yunfeng and the others entered the hall, without waiting for Chu Ning in front of him to salute, the patriarch took the lead in speaking.
"Young Master Lei, are you still having fun?" asked the patriarch with a flattering face.
Chu Yunfeng was suddenly startled, and he felt bad in his heart.
"It's good, thank you Patriarch Chu for the arrangement. Lei Peng arched his hand slightly, and sat down beside the strange old man. Whispering something in the old man's ear, the old man immediately shifted his gaze to Chu Yunfeng and the others, and nodded lightly.
"Father, patriarch, two elders!" After Lei Peng took his seat, Chu Ning walked forward quickly and saluted respectfully to the four people on the upper position.
"Well, since you're here, sit down. Seeing Chu Yunfeng and the others, the Great Elder frowned slightly, nodded and said softly.
Chu Yunfeng and the others did to the side of the hall as they said, Chu Chan was a little dissatisfied and wanted to argue, Chu Yunfeng shook his head lightly and pulled Chu Chan aside.
No one noticed Chu Chan's strange appearance, in the hall, the patriarch and the three elders were talking to the strange old man quite eagerly, but the old man seemed to have something to say, and his eyes kept wandering, as if he was thinking about something.
After listening to it for a while, Chu Yunfeng shook his head a little boredly......
"Young Master, who are these people?" Just when Chu Yunfeng was so bored that he wanted to doze off, the two beside him pulled the corners of Chu Yunfeng's clothes and asked weakly.
didn't wait for Chu Yunfeng to speak, Chu Ning on the side couldn't wait to talk to Chu Chan.
"Chan'er, do you want to know who they are, did you see the lightning pattern on the necklines of those three people?" Chu Ning said with a mysterious expression.
"Huh?" Chu Chan's eyes lit up, and she turned her gaze to the neckline of the three people, and sure enough, she found a pattern of blue lightning.
"Are they from the Xuanlei Sect?" Chu Yunfeng whispered in surprise.
Although he didn't go out to practice, Chu Yunfeng had read about this sect in some books, the city where the Chu family was located was called Donglin City, and Donglin City belonged to the Jialan Empire, although this city was close to the Demon Beast Mountain Range, so it entered the list of big cities in the empire, but the ranking was also quite low.
Chu Yunfeng's family has a lot of weight in Donglin City, but it is not the only one, in Donglin City, there are two other families whose strength is not much different from the Chu family, and the three parties have been fighting with each other openly and secretly for decades, and they have never decided the winner......
If the Chu family is the hegemon of the eastern city, then the Xuanlei Sect may be said to be the hegemon of the entire Jialan Empire! The gap between them is like a chasm, and it is sad that even the patriarch has to greet him with a smile.
"What are they doing in our family?" Chu Chan asked in a low voice with some confusion.
"I've heard from my grandfather that they seem to be looking for something in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and sometimes they go to the nearby cities to buy supplies, so they will communicate with many families by the way. Recently, I seem to have searched the mountains near the eastern castle. Chu Ning saw that Chu Chan was interested, and immediately explained to Chu Chan proudly.
"What are they looking for?" Chu Chan asked curiously.
"This ...... Grandpa didn't tell me, I don't know. Chu Ning said with some embarrassment.
"It is estimated that the Great Elder does not know, and it is estimated that the Xuanlei Sect will not tell outsiders about this kind of thing. Chu Yunfeng said thoughtfully.
Not long after Chu Yunfeng and the others whispered to each other, the conversation in the hall suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
"Ahem. The blue-robed old man coughed lightly, stood up and arched his hand at the patriarch Chu Xingzhou, and said with a smile: "Patriarch Chu, the main reason for coming to your family this time is to ask for something!"
"Hehe, Mr. Gan Lie, if you have something to say, if you can do it, the Chu family should not refuse. For this old man, Chu Xingzhou didn't dare to slack off, and quickly stood up and said politely, but because he didn't know what the other party was asking for, he didn't dare to talk too much.
"Hehe, Patriarch Chu, in fact, it's just a matter for juniors, and it's never difficult to do. Lei Peng, this kid, has fallen in love with a girl from your Chu family and wants to be a concubine, I don't know what the Chu patriarch wants?" Gan Lie said with a smile.
For the Chu family, Gan Lie didn't look down on it in his heart, just because he had to deal with some things here, so he dealt with this local snake, but he didn't expect Lei Peng to say to himself just now that he wanted a girl from the Chu family to be a concubine, although there was some surprise, but compared with the strength of the Chu family and the Xuan Lei Sect, Gan Lie felt that it was not a difficult thing to do, so he directly accepted it.
"Hmm, may I ask which girl from my Chu family has a crush on Young Master Lei?" The patriarch was a little pleased, with the strength of the Xuan Lei Sect, the Chu family couldn't get into the eyes of the law at all, originally thought that the two sides were just a simple exchange, but I didn't expect to have such an unexpected joy.
Lei Peng is not only quite handsome, but also has an extraordinary family background, the status of the Lei family in the Jialan Kingdom is extraordinary, and the current head of the Lei family is the head of the household department in the court, so the Lei family can be regarded as an authentic high-ranking family. In addition, Lei Peng himself is even more talented, and at a young age, he has already reached the level of the three-star Gathering Spirit Realm, and he was accepted by the sect master of the Xuanlei Sect and cultivated as the next sect master.
This kind of outstanding young man, if he wants to get married, the girl who wants to marry him can definitely break through the door of the Lei family. Chu Xingzhou didn't expect that Lei Peng would be able to fall in love with the girl of the Chu family, although he was just going to be a concubine, but for the Chu family, this was definitely a pie in the sky.
However, there are not many excellent girls in the Chu family, and it is estimated that only ....... people who can enter Lei Peng's eyes are the only ones who have moved their eyes to Chu Chan, the best girl in the Chu family is Chu Chan, and the person who wants to come to Lei Peng's eye is her. Some of the girls of the Chu family around suddenly cast envious glances at Chu Chan.
Chu Yunfeng's brows furrowed, and he felt a hint of ominous signs.
"Actually, it's not a special girl, I heard that she is just a maid of your Chu family. Gan Lie smiled slightly, said lightly, and then set his eyes on Shuangshuang who was hiding behind Chu Yunfeng.
Gan Lie's words made everyone stunned slightly, and the patriarch and the three elders glanced at each other, their eyes full of doubts.......
Everyone followed Ganlie's eyes and looked forward, and suddenly discovered the existence of Shuangshuang.
"How could it be her?" said someone in surprise.
After the patriarch saw Shuangshuang, he was a little stunned in a trance, and he couldn't remember the memory of Shuangshuang at all.
"It's ...... Chu Yunfeng's little maid?" the Great Elder on the side asked uncertainly.
"Hmm. The third elder replied lightly, his brows furrowed slightly, with his understanding of Chu Yunfeng, it is estimated that today's matter will not be so easy to solve.
"No!" Chu Yunfeng shouted loudly.
Chu Yunfeng's voice surprised everyone, pulling everyone from the shock just now to the current reality.
"Hehe, this waste is really miserable, his maid was forcibly asked to leave, what face will be left in the Chu family in the future. Some people around gloated.
In the hall, the atmosphere was a little quiet because of Chu Yunfeng's shouting, and Chu Xingzhou's gaze at Chu Yunfeng above gradually became a little cold.
Gan Lie didn't expect that someone in the Chu family would dare to oppose his request, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed.
"Chu Yunfeng, don't be presumptuous!" The first to react was the Great Elder, who immediately reprimanded Chu Yunfeng.
"Shuangshuang is Chu Yunfeng's maid after all, we still have to respect his opinion. The three elders on the side frowned and reminded them.
"Ask what your opinion, he and his maids are all raised by the Chu family, and it is appropriate to contribute to the Chu family, what qualifications do you have to object. The Great Elder on the side said in a deep voice with a disdainful expression.
"Well, that's reasonable, third child, you better let it go, don't forget that you are the elder of the Chu family. The patriarch glanced at the three elders and said in a low voice.
Gently inhaling a breath of cold air, Chu Yunfeng's palms hanging on both sides were already tightly clenched: "If you are now a powerhouse in the Lingtai Realm, who would dare to despise me so much?"
"Thank you, Patriarch Chu. Hearing this, Gan Lie in the audience arched his hand with a smile and said to Chu Xingzhou: "Patriarch Chu, I know that today's request may be difficult for some people to accept, but we have always persuaded people with reason, and today I just brought something that can be used as an apology." ”
As he spoke, Gan Lie reached out and took out a green stone box from the small bag on his waist, opened the box carefully, and a strange fragrance suddenly filled the entire hall, and the smell was refreshing.
The patriarch stretched out his head curiously, looked at the stone box, his body shook violently, and exclaimed, "Xuanling Pill?"
Inside the stone box, a pill the size of a dragon's eye, covered with various symbols, was lying quietly, and the tempting fragrance came from it.
In the Fengyun Continent, if you want to become a spiritual warrior, the premise is to be able to store the aura of heaven and earth in your body, but this process has a large failure rate, after failure, the body will be damaged, and you will have to recuperate for half a year or a year before you can try to absorb the aura of heaven and earth again, and some people who are unlucky may have to try more than ten times before they can succeed, so that they will delay the precious cultivation time in vain, resulting in a great loss of the future.
