The Niujia Hall is the place where the Niufu receives visiting guests, the leaders of the clan discuss family affairs and announce important decisions, the decoration is solemn and solemn, and the patrol team composed of intermediate fighters in the clan is closely guarded, and it is an area rarely set foot by the younger generation of the Niu family.

At this time, there was a faint sound of fierce quarrels from it, "Big brother, look at this Niu Fei, such a big person, just don't win glory for the family, and cause trouble everywhere, the battle qi magic is not the same, and he is still an apprentice, I think it is better to send him to take over the affairs of the mine, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the family", sitting in the first place on the lower right, a middle-aged burly man in a gray-black brocade robe shouted at the gray-haired man sitting on the main seat.

The gray-haired man looked at the assessment sheet and letter in his hand and said nothing. At this time, the man with a white beard and an old face but a shining spirit also stood up, holding the longevity beard with one hand and said: "Yes, the head of the family, Niu Fei has been at the bottom of the list in the assessment in the past three years, and today he has a conflict with the guards and the Ma family. ”

Sitting on the lower left, the flower-haired woman in a dark blue mage robe refuted: "There are demonic beasts in the mine from time to time, such a dangerous place, I think you want him to die, the ancestors of the Niu family are also a big family that has produced seventh-level sword masters, and now they can't even protect their own descendants? Niu Fei is staying in the Niu Mansion, and with my Liu Pozi, I must protect him!"

The burly man asked sharply: "Second Elder, don't you take us to protect this son, the head of the Ma family, Ma Yuanye, has already broken through the level of a senior fighter and become a fourth-level great fighter, except for the old lady Niu family, no one is invincible, and there are nearly a hundred people in my Niu family, how can I be in danger because of this son." ”

Listening to the chaotic quarrels in the lobby, Niu Zhanyuan, who was sitting upright, shook his head in disappointment and coughed lightly, "Okay, okay, Zhanhao, Elder Yu, Elder Liu, I understand what you mean." Don't fight anymore, I was laughed at by the juniors. ”

Niu Zhanhao wanted to ask, but Niu Zhanyuan waved his hand at him and motioned for him to sit down.

After a while, Liu Jiaoxi's voice came from outside the door, "Family master, Niu Fei, Niu Zhuang, Niu Lili bring it." ”

Niu Zhanyuan took the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Come in." ”

Liu Zhan led the young man and the girl into the main hall, and then stood sideways behind the second elder. Niu Fei met everyone's eyes and stood among Bai Ling, and Bai Ling hid by Niu Fei's side a little timidly. Niu Lily stood straight, her head held high. As for Niu Zhuang, his forehead~, his thick black eyebrows were burned in half, the skin on his face was covered with protruding blisters, and the clothes on his body were also crumpled and dusty, hiding in the rear.

Niu Zhanhao didn't care about Niu Fei's crime, ran to Niu Zhuang, anxious and distressed, and said hurriedly: "Son, what are you doing, does it hurt on your face, is it something that doesn't have long eyes, dare to bully my son." ”

Niu Zhuang scratched his head in embarrassment, "Eh, father, I'm fine, it's all some skin trauma, Liu Jiaoxi helped me with medicine", and then explained in a low voice, "I just had a discussion with Lily's cousin and was attacked by her." ”

Niu Lili, who was standing next to her, was not happy when she heard this, she didn't give her cousin face at all, and snorted: "Even if I was defeated, I didn't admit it, so many people in the training ground saw it." ”

The second elder who was sitting on the side also accosted: "It's just a competition, it's nothing if you lose, after all, Lily is the best in the family." ”

When Niu Zhuang heard this, he smiled innocently, "Yes, what the second elder said is right, I will definitely redouble my efforts." Niu Zhanhao's face darkened when he heard this, and he didn't answer the words of the second elder again, and said to the lord: "Family master, let's not waste time, since we have all the people, let's start." ”

Niu Zhanyuan put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at the young man standing in the middle of the hall, his eyes were gentle and complicated. Fifteen years have passed, and the toddler has grown into a tall boy in front of him. His favorite wife has also been gone for fifteen years, and the delicate beauty in his memory is a little blurred.

Niu Fei also looked at his titular father in front of him, his half-white gray hair was casually draped behind him, the traces of time in the corners of his eyes could not hide his heroic face, the brown and yellow cloth clothes were patched one by one, and his body was tall and slender but three points thin.

In the memory of the young Niu Fei, there is not much of this father, and even after being taught to live on the east side, he can only meet a few times in the public place of the family, and this rare few faces are full of indifference and reprimand. There is no due warmth between father and son, except that the same blood flows in the body, but it is stranger than strangers

Elder Yu's reminder broke the momentary silence, "Family Master?"

Niu Zhanyuan's thoughts returned to his eyes, straightened his clothes, and said loudly: "Niu Fei, are you guilty?"

Niu Fei smiled playfully, "Crime? I didn't commit adultery and robbery, did I kill people and set fires, what is the crime?"

Niu Zhanhao heard Niu Fei's answer, slapped his palm on the table, and was furious, "Bold, don't kneel down and repent, you rebel and the guards of the town guard house clashed, and you were jealous of the Ma family's eldest young master Ma Rui, I think you are not only a waste, but you are not easy to use, and you don't even know how to write dead words." As he spoke, he stepped forward to teach Niu Fei a lesson.

The disgust in Niu Zhanyuan's eyes flashed, "Zhan Hao sit down and listen to what he has to say first." ”

Niu Fei secretly thought in his heart that he was waiting for himself here, this Ma Rui did not have an immediate attack at the West Gate, presumably he secretly passed on what happened at the city gate to Niu Fu, intending to let Niu Fu completely squeeze himself out, and then still slaughter him.

Niu Fei spread his hands, his face full of innocence, "It turned out to be for what happened at the west gate, then I can't blame it, it was the captain of the guard who slandered me first, and Bai Ling quarreled with the guard for me." As for Ma Rui, that scumbag saw Bai Ling's appearance and became lustful, and he held a grudge against me when I stopped him. This can be testified by Bai Ling. ”

Saying that, Niu Fei pulled Bai Ling, who was hiding behind him, and Bai Ling said timidly: "That's the case, what my brother said is true, those two guys are the big villains." ”

Only then did everyone in the hall focus their attention on the little girl beside Niu Fei, Niu Zhanyuan noticed the clasped hands of the two, and then asked, "Who is this girl?"

Without waiting for Niu Fei to answer, Bai Ling replied: "I am Bai Ling, Niu Fei's sister. Just when everyone was puzzled, Niu Fei pointed to his head, and then waved his hand. Everyone suddenly realized.

Niu Zhanhao argued: "Even so, it must be punished, anyway, he is not a cultivation material, and he should contribute to the family's guarding of the mine." ”

Elder Liu hurriedly said: "You can't go to the mine, this punishment is too heavy."

Niu Zhanyuan stopped the impending quarrel and decided: "Then punish him to go to the weapon shop to follow the shopkeeper Mo as a two-year apprentice", Zhuang'er and Lili followed the Great Elder and the Second Elder to practice first.

The Great Elder and Niu Zhanhao had an expression of cheapness, while the mother and son of the Liu family looked at Niu Fei with concern, but Niu Fei was indifferent
