Chapter Twenty-Seven: Anxiety
Walking down the stairs to the living room on the first floor, Shi Xuan was stunned.
In addition to his parents and Lu Yao's father and daughter in the living room, Uncle Liu was also there, and it was Uncle Liu's presence that made Shi Xuan stunned.
Uncle Liu was not present at breakfast, worried that the group of masked people would do it directly in the purple bamboo forest, so they have been strengthening security since last night.
A thug who can be used with a weapon like an anti-materiel sniper rifle, can you still consider his guts? The three shots fired at the Tenglong Mansion already expressed their ambition to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
Shi Xuan took a deep breath and came to the living room, sat down beside Lu Yao, and faced his father Shi Tao.
Lu Yao put the tea cup in front of Shi Xuan, looking at Lu Yao, who was making tea elegantly, Shi Xuan suddenly felt a little unreal, so much so that he forgot to thank him.
When he reacted, he could already see Lu Yao's puffing face, obviously a little unhappy, and the elders were almost all looking at their noses and noses, as if they didn't see it, only their mother Lu Zihan covered her mouth and chuckled.
Shi Xuan smiled awkwardly at Lu Yao, picked up the teacup and closed his eyes to take a small sip, the clear tea soup slowly flowed into his mouth, the fragrance of tea overflowed, and the fragrance of his mouth lingered for a long time.
Shi Xuan glanced at a small pot of tea leaves on the table, this is the ordinary tea leaves that are usually made at home, and they were picked by his grandfather when he went out on a trip.
This tea doesn't have many characteristics, but Lu Yao can do this, which is very unexpected.
Although he knew that Lu Yao's tea art attainments were very high, but in the past, he used to use precious tea, and Shi Xuan always thought that Lu Yao's tea art benefited from tea, but now it seems that he is blind.
Now Shi Xuan is no longer impressed by Lu Yao, but envious.
The academic performance can be stable in the top three in Tenglong City for a long time, and even occupied the top for a time.
And the most important thing is that Lu Yao still has to spend a lot of time cultivating, and now the tea art is so exquisite, how can this make others live?
"Ahem~~"
Lu Yaowen pretended to cough twice, and kept looking at Lu Yao, as if reminding her not to stand in the wrong line.
"When did you break through the martial arts?" I heard Lu Yao mention that you are now a fourth-order martial artist, is there any hidden danger in this continuous breakthrough?"
A slightly majestic voice came out, Shi Tao didn't pay attention to Lu Yao, who suddenly shifted his position, and stared at Shi Xuan with his eyes, as if he wanted to see something from Shi Xuan's facial expression.
It's a pity that this is destined to be disappointed, Shi Xuan is notoriously paralyzed at school.
Although Shi Tao was a little indifferent in the first half of the sentence, the second half of the sentence still betrayed his worried emotions and pitied the hearts of his parents all over the world.
Lu Zihan glanced at her husband fiercely, and then looked at Shi Xuan worriedly, although she was not a martial artist, as the leader of the Shi family's drug research and development, she was no stranger to those drugs that gained strength by stimulating the body, and even had research.
It's just that this kind of power obtained by consuming life, Lu Zihan disdains to study it, and in the end even seals all the information in the dust.
Liu Jun was the most direct, and without waiting for Shi Xuan to speak, he stretched out his finger and gently clasped it on Shi Xuan's wrist, and the earthy yellow spiritual power appeared, and then turned into a strand of hair, slowly invading Shi Xuan's body.
As soon as the earthy yellow spiritual power entered the wrist, the spiritual power in Shi Xuan's sea of qi swirled for a moment, and then accelerated its rotation, and the pale black spiritual power in the shape of a knife tip was like a shark smelling blood, quickly swimming towards the wrist along the meridians.
As soon as the pale black spiritual power touched this faint wisp of earthy yellow spiritual power, it directly swarmed up, instantly devouring this wisp of earthy yellow spiritual power.
And after devouring this wisp of yellow spiritual power, the knife-like spiritual power seemed to be very angry at Liu Jun's provocation, and began to rush towards Liu Jun's fingers despite Shi Xuan's suppression.
The four people around looked at Liu Jun, who was controlling his spiritual power with slightly squinted eyes, and did not ask anything, but waited quietly without saying a word.
Although most of the people present were laymen, it was known that the attempt to manipulate spiritual power required concentration.
If you are not careful in the process, you will even be counterattacked.
Lu Yao, who knew the pros and cons, bit her lip lightly, and pinched the corner of her clothes with her little hands uneasily, although her strength was not weak, she did not dare to interfere with Uncle Liu rashly.
Well!!!
Liu Jun, whose eyes were slightly narrowed, suddenly opened his eyes, and the index finger and middle finger that were clasped on Shi Xuan's wrist suddenly released, and a trace of shock appeared on his face.
Seeing Liu Jun's scene, the hearts of everyone present seemed to be hung with a rocket, and they were about to enter space.
Shi Tao pinched the teacup in his hand, the green tendons on the back of his hand jumped, and Lu Zihan was even more frightened and stood up directly, his face turned pale.
And Lu Yao's sharp eyes saw the cut wound that Uncle Liu's fingers were cut when he pulled away, and even saw the black light that flashed on Shi Xuan's wrist, and he was most worried, and he was almost about to pounce on Shi Xuan.
Liu Jun was shocked and then ecstatic, ignoring the wound on his finger and saying joy to Shi Tao.
"Congratulations to the master, the spiritual power in the young master's body is condensed to the extreme, like a blade, it is impossible to rely on the stimulation of drugs to break through, it should be because of the thick accumulation!"
Hearing this, Shi Tao's high heart finally let go, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and he picked up the cup in his hand and took a sip of tea soup.
And Lu Yao was the most direct, after hearing this, he immediately threw himself into Shi Xuan's arms, raised his head and looked at Shi Xuan, his eyes watery.
Facing the people in Huai Jiaren, the corners of Shi Xuan's mouth twitched, the corners of his eyes jumped, he was not moved, and he didn't dare to move.
Seeing this scene, Liu Jun wandered out of the world, while Lu Yaowen and Lu Zihan glanced at each other silently, and they both saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes.
Only Shi Tao raised his eyebrows, but after glancing at his wife, he still chose to continue to drink tea silently, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and too much interference will make it more difficult to repair the relationship between father and son.
Looking at Shi Xuan's strange expression, Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, her pretty face turned red instantly, and she pushed Shi Xuan away, pinching the corners of her clothes with both hands uneasily, her head lowered, as if there were some powerful ants fighting on her toes, and the roots of her ears were red.
"When did you break through?"
Shi Tao continued the question just now, his face was still serious, and he didn't smile, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart.
"The breakthrough yesterday afternoon was consolidated in the room until the early hours of the morning......"
This Shi Xuan didn't lie, he did break through in the evening, and his cultivation lasted until the early hours of the morning.
"There's no hidden danger, right?"
"The exercises I practice are quite special, and now they are just accumulating thick books, and there are no hidden dangers! But in the future, it will be impossible to break through the fourth order in a row like now. ”
Looking at the conversation between Shi Xuan's father and son, Lu Yaowen didn't bother, he knew that the relationship between the father and son was not very good, maybe he could take this opportunity to let the two of them communicate more.
And Lu Zihan can't wait for the father and son to have a good chat!
"I watched the competition just now, and I was surprised that I could have this kind of strength when I first stepped into the martial arts!"
Shi Tao paused, then put down the cup and looked directly at Shi Xuan.
"And I also know that you have always wanted to enter the Devil's Forest to find medicine, but did you know about yesterday's news?"
Shi Xuanjian frowned, he knew that what his father was talking about was not about being attacked, but about the Devil's Great Forest, he didn't know much about yesterday's news, but when he left the school gate, he still paid attention to the campus broadcast.
"The Silver Wing Demon Eagle, known as the Natural Disaster, once again came out of the Devil's Great Forest, this time with stronger strength, leading a group of flat-haired beasts to attack Y City, causing huge casualties, if it weren't for Hua Tian always guarding the vicinity, the casualties would have even increased further. ”
Hearing this, Shi Xuan's brows furrowed again, these spirit beasts hidden in the Devil's Great Forest have appeared in human cities from time to time in the past twenty years, bringing huge disasters to human beings.
The country is bent on eliminating these scourges, but when they dare not use high-power weapons, they can only be said to be powerless, and they have no choice but to establish a defense line near the Devil's Great Forest and stalemate with the spirit beasts.
Although the defense line is solid, there are occasional spirit beasts that break through the defense line and bring disaster to nearby towns, especially birds and spirit beasts flying in the air.
Lu Zihan, who wanted to be a good wife and mother, also frowned, obviously disgusted with those spirit beasts that wantonly treated their compatriots as food.
"Tens of thousands of flying spirit beasts, the entire city was paralyzed in an instant, and the casualties have not been fully counted until now, I can't imagine that in the past ten years, the spirit beasts in the Devil's Great Forest have accumulated such terrifying power...... Maybe in the near future, war will break out again......"
Lu Yaowen's face was gloomy, no matter who it was, seeing his compatriots die in a disaster, he would definitely not be indifferent, since the end of the first war between spirit beasts and humans, although local conflicts continued, this kind of disaster had never happened......
Now that the spirit beasts have bared their fangs to humans, perhaps the second war is not far off......
"I still let the flat-haired beast escape, and according to the information I got, this time it was a heavy loss, even Hua Tian was injured, Hua Tian was able to suppress the Silver Wing Demon Eagle before, but now he can only have the upper hand, and he can't fight an overwhelming advantage at all, which shows that they have been growing, and the speed is even faster than ours......"
"Moreover, according to the news transmitted back by the first batch of pioneers, the Devil's Great Forest is inhabited by beings whose strength is far greater than that of the Silver Wing Demon Eagle, and this is the most tricky ......."
Lu Yaowen sighed, and then looked at his squirming daughter, which was also the reason why the two families decided to tilt their resources on Lu Yao.
This is not to hope that Lu Yao will be a savior and lead the two families to continue their glory, but just that she can protect herself in the future catastrophe......
Saying so much is also to dispel Shi Xuan's idea of entering the Devil's Great Forest, after all, the Devil's Forest today is not ten years ago.
"Brother-in-law, let's revise the recipe again!"
Lu Yaowen looked at Shi Tao, with a hint of tiredness on his face, don't look at yourself so relaxed, now the whole group is already busy, all kinds of materials and medicines are constantly being transported to the northwest, although the symptoms are not cured, but there is really no way to watch the suffering of compatriots and ignore it.
Lu Yaowen doesn't want to carry out commercial promotion in the name of charity, it's just that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
"Lao Liu, add another colorful chicken, and send two spirit jade fruits to school every Wednesday for the two children to ......."
Shi Tao bowed slightly, and immediately agreed, and added a spirit jade fruit.
The spirit jade fruit is a low-level spirit fruit, which contains a large amount of spiritual energy, and can purify the spiritual power in the sea of qi for a martial artist, and the spiritual energy contained in a spiritual jade fruit can be worth a month of penance for a martial artist.
The Lingyu Fruit Tree was bought by Old Man Lu and Zizhu together, and after ten years of careful cultivation, it finally successfully bore fruit in these two years.
However, the number of successfully cultivated saplings is far less than that of purple bamboo, with only three seedlings, and each plant has only about a dozen fruits.
Some of them have to be used for research, and there are very few spirit jade fruits saved in the past two years, but fortunately, the spirit jade fruits will ripen soon, otherwise there really won't be much inventory.
After all, this is a strategic-level material, whether it is used to train martial artists or win over strong people, it is far more sincere than money, and the Lingwu Association has expressed the idea of buying Lingyu fruit with a lot of money many times.
One is his own son, and the other is Lu Yao, who is even closer than his son, even if the Lingwu Association offers a high price, it doesn't matter, money is only the concept of numbers for the Shi Lu family, so it is better to take it out and exchange it for something practical, such as strength!
Although in a modern country, individual force cannot directly determine the survival of a family, but it is like a nuclear weapon.
Why is the Hua family's status transcendent? It is not because there is a Hua Tian with explosive combat power, who has repelled the invasion of spirit beasts again and again, and is a well-deserved hero.
Although Hua Tian has been stationed in Northwest H Province for a long time, who dares to suppress the Hua family?
