On the wide official road, a fast horse galloped past, and on the horse sat a thin man, perhaps because of the long riding on the horse, the thin man's forehead was covered with sweat.

The thin man looked at Jianghai City in front of him, breathed a sigh of relief, and rushed into the city.

He walked in a relatively remote alley, the fast horse galloped past, and a piece of dust was raised behind him, and the people in the alley saw someone coming on horseback, and they were first angry, and when they saw the blue letters on the sleeves of the thin man, the anger was immediately extinguished, and they avoided it one after another, for fear of blocking the way of the thin man.

Passing through the alley, a slightly luxurious mansion appeared in front of the thin man's eyes, and it was only a moment before he came to the mansion.

The thin man rolled over and dismounted, took out a token and showed it to the guard in front of the gate, and walked straight into the mansion.

The thin man walked quickly, and seemed to be very familiar with the mansion, and in a moment he came to a rented room, the door was closed, and a middle-aged man in his fifties stood at the door.

"Steward Zhou, Tianlan City's letter. ”

The thin man knelt down on one knee when he saw the middle-aged man, took out an envelope from his bosom and respectfully handed it over.

A trace of surprise flashed in Steward Zhou's eyes when he heard this, he took the letter in the thin man's hand, and waved his hand to signal him to retreat.

After the thin man retreated, Steward Zhou walked into the room with the letter.

The room is very dark, you can vaguely see two rows of bookshelves on both sides of the room, there is a bookcase in front of it, a candle flickering with a faint light, and a middle-aged man sitting in front of the bookcase, with good facial features and elegant temperament, holding a book in his hand is looking at it intently.

"Family master, Tianlan City has a letter" Steward Zhou came to the bookcase and handed the letter over.

The middle-aged man put down the book in his hand, rubbed his temples, and chuckled, "Brother Han is actually willing to write a letter, I haven't seen him write a letter for so many years, but that girl in Qianyue often corresponds with Xuan'er." ”

Steward Zhou smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "This is not a letter from the head of the Han family, it is a letter sent by our Qing family's people in Tianlan City. ”

"Oh, I'll just say, how could I write a letter with Brother Han's character. The middle-aged man took the letter from Steward Zhou and opened it to take a look.

Just at this glance, the middle-aged man stood up suddenly, with disbelief in his eyes, accompanied by a burst of anger.

Seeing the change in the middle-aged man's expression, Steward Zhou's heart tightened slightly, and asked, "Family master, what's wrong?" ”

This middle-aged man is none other than Qing Hong, the head of the Qing family in Jianghai City, and he is also the strongest person in Jianghai City.

Qinghong closed his eyes and sighed, and said with a slight depression, "The Han family has been destroyed." ”

"This ...... How is this possible, the Han family is not weaker than our Qing family" Steward Zhou also looked incredulous.

"It's true, overnight, none of the hundreds of people in the Han family are alive, except for Han Qianyue, who is not among them, they are all dead. Qinghong had a solemn expression on his face.

"Then what should I do now, do you want to tell the young master that he has a marriage contract with Miss Han," Steward Zhou said.

Qinghong was silent for a moment before he spoke, "Send someone to call him over, he should have played enough over the years, I hope the affairs of the Han family can make him change something." ”

"Yes, the old slave will order someone to call the young master over. Steward Zhou bowed and withdrew.

After Steward Zhou left, Qinghong sat down and clenched the letter in his hand for a long time.

There is an independent small courtyard in the east garden of the Qingjia family, some precious flowers and plants are planted in the yard, a young girl is holding a kettle, is watering the flowers and plants, the appearance is very delicate, and there is a smile on the pretty face.

"Su Tiantian, hasn't the young master gotten up yet?"

At this time, a voice came from outside the courtyard.

Su Tiantian raised her eyes and looked over, and saw a servant standing at the gate of the courtyard, shouting at her.

"The young master hasn't gotten up yet, is there anything wrong?" asked Su Tiantian.

"It was Steward Zhou who ordered the little one to call the young master, saying that the master was looking for him. The servant replied.

"Okay, you go back, the young master will go over in a while. Su Tiantian put down the kettle and sent the servant away, and then walked towards the young master's room.

"Master, it's time to get up"

Sleepy, Qing Xuan opened his eyes in a daze, a delicate and lovely face floated in front of him, the girl smiled like a flower, and she was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Glancing at the girl, Qing Xuan said vaguely: "Tiantian, don't make noise, let me sleep at the meeting" After speaking, he turned over, leaving the girl with the back of her head.

"No, get up quickly, just now Steward Zhou sent someone, saying that the master wants to see you. Su Tiantian's two small hands pulled one of Qing Xuan's arms and pulled him up.

With full sleep, Qingxuan reluctantly sat up, his eyes squinted, and his handsome face was full of dissatisfaction, but he still sat up

Su Tiantian walked to the closet at the head of the bed, took out a cyan caftan from it, and said.

Holding the cyan robe, Su Tiantian came to the side of the bed, saw that Qing Xuan was still sitting on the bed and did not move, and said, "Young master, if you don't get up, it won't be good if the master blames it." ”

After inking on the bed for a while, Qing Xuan still got up and stood in front of Su Tiantian, who was more than half a head taller than Su Tiantian.

Qing Xuan, who was dressed, faded away from the sparse appearance of not waking up, and became extremely energetic.

Walked to a dresser and sat down, a bronze mirror on the dresser, reflecting Qing Xuan's handsome face, on the table was a white jade comb, a water blue hair band, and a green jade hairpin.

Su Tiantian came behind Qing Xuan, picked up the white jade comb with a slender jade hand, carefully combed Qing Xuan's long hair that was scattered, pulled a bun, tied a knot with a cyan hairband, and inserted the green hosta into the bun.

Su Tiantian looked at Qing Xuan in the bronze mirror, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, young master"

Out of the small courtyard, Qing Xuan took Su Tiantian and walked in the courtyard of the Qing family, with a bright smile on his face, and the people in the house greeted Qing Xuan with a smile on their faces, and they were not restrained at all because he was the young master of the Qing family, just like the elders looking at the juniors.

This is also because Qing Xuan never puts on the young master's shelf, no matter who he is, he has a smiling face, and over time, these subordinates like Qing Xuan more and more.

"Young Master, where are you going? A lady in her fifties greeted with a smile on her face.

"Aunt Zhou, my father has something to do with me, and I'm about to go to the study!" Qing Xuan also smiled.

Aunt Zhou is the wife of Zhou Qian, the housekeeper of the Qing family, who grew up watching him grow up, and the trivial chores in the house are managed by the two of them, Qingxuan still respects them and his wife very much, and the two of them also have a daughter, named Zhou Ying, who works as a personal maid next to Qinghuan, the daughter of his second uncle Qingyu.

When Aunt Zhou heard that she was going to find the master, she urged. "Since the master is looking for you, let's go quickly! ”

Qing Xuan showed a wry smile on his face, he has been good at everything all these years, but he is not interested in cultivation, and every time he sees his father, he has to be disciplined, but he is also used to it.

Before coming to the study, I saw the housekeeper Zhou Qian standing at the door, but his face did not have the smile he had when he saw him in the past, and there was a little more heaviness, which made Qing Xuan's heart suddenly, think about it, he hasn't made any mistakes recently!

"Young master, you are here, go in, the master is waiting in the room" Zhou Qian's face was a little serious.

At this time, Qing Xuan also felt that something was wrong, so he restrained his smile and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Zhou, what happened, why did my father look for me." ”

Zhou Qian sighed and said, "You will know when you go in, and I can't talk about it." ”

Hearing Zhou Qian say this, Qing Xuan's heart was even more bottomless, and he was a little uneasy in his heart, nodded and said to Su Tiantian, who was following behind, "You are waiting here,"

Su Tiantian also sensed that something was wrong, and nodded obediently, but there was a trace of worry in her eyes.

Qing Xuan exhaled, pushed the door open, stepped inside, and then closed the door again.

In the study, a middle-aged man stood with his hands in his hands, the expression on his face was a little ugly, his whole body exuded a cold aura, and there was anger in his eyes, this person was Qing Hong, the head of the Qing family, the only cultivator at the peak of the psychic realm in Jianghai City.

The Qing family is not the only one family that is strong in Jianghai City, there are two other families, one is the Luo family in the north city, and the other is the Zhao family in the south city, and the Qing family is in the east city, as for the west city, it is a chaotic gathering area, which is jointly managed by the three families.

There are still some small families under the three major families, but they are not so powerful and cannot be the same as the three major families.

Seeing his father's face like this, Qing Xuan's heart sank, knowing that he was afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat today, but he really couldn't understand what he had done to make his father so angry.

"How have you been cultivating lately, how have you cultivated to the first level? Qinghong's tone was low, without a trace of emotion.

Qing Xuan glanced at his father carefully, although he has cultivated over the years, he has never really put his mind on cultivation, which has also caused his cultivation to be at a stage of neither high nor low, although his father has asked before, but he has never been like today, he can only stubbornly say: "Dad, the child has cultivated to the fifth layer." ”

"You were already at the fourth level three months ago, so you only improved to one level in three months, how can you hand over the family into your hands in the future as a father who cultivates like you. Qinghong, shouted and asked.

Qing Xuan lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, he had never seen his father so angry, since he began to cultivate, although his father had lectured him many times, he had never been so harsh.

"If one day your father is gone, how can you keep the century-old foundation of the Qing family. Seeing that Qing Xuan bowed his head and was silent, Qing Hong sighed, and his tone eased a lot.

"Dad, the child knows that he is wrong, and he will definitely practice diligently in the future," Qing Xuan replied in a low voice.

"Tianlan City has sent a letter. Qing Hong handed the letter that he had been holding in his hand to Qing Xuan, with a touch of unbearability on his face.

Hearing this, Qing Xuan was overjoyed, took the letter, and said with some surprise: "Dad, is it the letter that Qianyue gave me?"

Qianyue is the Miss Han family of Tianlan City Han Qianyue, ten years ago his father's best friend Han Ming, when Han Ming brought his daughter Han Qianyue to the Qing family, the two of them were very close to each other, and they played together all day long, and the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper after a long time, Han Qianyue always shouted that she wanted to marry herself when she grew up, and Han Qianyue cried when she knew that she was going to separate from him, and it was also because of his relationship with her, and the two families decided to marry the two of them.

Although they hadn't seen each other over the years, they often exchanged letters, and every time Han Qianyue wrote to him, he couldn't sleep happily for several days.

Seeing that Qing Xuan was so excited, Qing Hong's heart was even heavier, he shook his head, and sighed secretly, "I hope he can withstand such a blow!"

After receiving the letter, Qing Xuan was not looking at his father, his heart was on the letter, and he opened the letter carefully, and he suddenly froze when he was excited.

"This, this is impossible, how could the Han family be, how could it perish, Dad, isn't this true?" Qing Xuan stared at the letterhead in his hand with wide eyes, his face turned pale, and tears came out of his eyes.

"It's true, three days ago, hundreds of people in the Han family were wiped out overnight" Qinghong sighed, a little unbearable.

"What about Qianyue, is Qianyue still alive?" Qingxuan's body trembled slightly, with a hint of anticipation in his teary eyes, he hoped to hear good news from his father.

"The letter said that Han Qianyue may not be dead, because Qianyue was not found among the many corpses of the Han family" Qinghong actually didn't have hope that Han Qianyue was still alive, although there was no conclusive evidence that Han Qianyue was dead, but since the other party was going to destroy the Han family, how could he let go of the Han family's young lady, but he couldn't bear Qingxuan being hit.

"Qianyue" Qingxuan looked up to the sky and roared, his voice was hoarse, a sense of grief arose, and his heart was full of anger.

"Dad, Qianyue is not dead, you tell me if she is not dead. Qing Xuan roared in a near-collapse manner.

"Xuan'er," Qinghong opened his mouth to say something, looking at Qingxuan's heartbroken appearance, but he couldn't say the words when he came to his mouth, so he had to comfort: "Since Qianyue was not found in the corpse, it is possible that Qianyue escaped and should not be dead." ”

Qing Xuan raised his head with tears on his face, looked at Qing Hong pleadingly, and said, "Dad, you can help Qianyue! Qianyue must still be alive if she is alive, it must be very dangerous for her to be alone outside." ”

Qinghong's heart was also sour, and he shook his head helplessly, "My father can't help her, if she is alive, she must be hiding now, someone must be tracking down his whereabouts, if he sends someone to find it for his father, even if he finds it and brings it back to the Qing family, he can't protect her, and even the entire Qing family accompanies him, if the other party can destroy the Han family, then he can also destroy our Qing family."
