Volume 1 Shufeng Continent Chapter 4 West Courtyard
It's no wonder that everyone present was shocked, today's matter was originally just a few days of grounding at most, after all, on the surface, Yuechen is still a familyist, and the elders still have to give some face to the head of the family, and they can't go too far, but now that Yuechen voluntarily deposed the West Courtyard, it was completely different.
Although the East and West Courts both belong to the Tao family's forces, but the difference in treatment is worlds apart, most of the disciples of the East Courtyard are direct clan relatives, and the ones who are cultivated are also the backbone of the future family, so the family will spare no effort to cultivate disciples, not only can they learn various high-level exercises and holy techniques in the clan, but the disciple status is also much higher than that of the West Academy, but the disciples of the West Academy can only learn the last exercises eliminated by the East Academy, and the disciples of the West Academy are also forbidden to hold any high-level positions in the family in the future! Even if Yue Chen is a family member, it is the same, as long as he enters the West Courtyard, it will be difficult to compete for the top of the family in the future.
"What are you talking about Yue Chen!" Tao Xiao grabbed Yue Chen's shoulder, and said with a little more panic on his face: "Elders, since Yue Chen has admitted his mistake, the elders will punish him, please don't take what you said just now!"
Gently withdrawing Tao Xiao's hand, Yuechen, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly raised his head, his eyes were full of determination: "Yuechen has made up his mind, and I ask the elders for permission!"
Looking at Yue Chen's firm eyes, Tao Xiao understood that it was useless for him to say anything now, for his younger brother, Tao Xiao naturally knew nothing better, although he was not very old, he had a calmness and perseverance that was difficult to achieve among his peers, Tao Xiao looked at Yue Chen and Yue Chen with a complicated expression, after all, he couldn't say anything, since he couldn't refute him, he could only silently support his decision.
"Well, since you've decided, let's do so. The Great Elder sitting at the head sighed slightly, and opened his mouth to break the long silence.
"Great Elder Xie is complete!"
......
At least in Yue Chen's eyes, if he continues to stay in the East Courtyard, I am afraid that people with a heart will always use his relationship with Tao Xiao to deal with Tao Xiao, after all, Tao Xiao is not the only candidate for the head of the family.
In this Tao family, the partisan dispute has been going on for a long time, although Tao Xiao is the young master of the Tao family, talented, but it is not without opponents, Tao Shan, the grandson of the second elder, and I don't know how many young descendants of the Tao family, and which parent does not want their children to one day leap into the dragon gate to become the head of the Tao family! And the relationship between Yue Chen and Tao Xiao is naturally an important chess piece used by these people to deal with Tao Xiao.
Rather than becoming a pawn that hinders Tao Xiao, it is better to take this opportunity to stay away from the dispute over family rights, and also give himself a chance to cultivate purely, perhaps in his subconscious, Yue Chen still has a little bit of the figure he saw last night in his heart, and even he doesn't know the reason.
Leaving the Discipline Hall, Tao Xiao didn't mean to blame Yue Chen along the way, he knew very well what Yue Chen's actions were for, and of course Tao Xiao was definitely not the only one who saw Yue Chen's actions.
"Brother, I will definitely let you return to the East Courtyard!" Tao Xiao patted Yue Chen's shoulder, and her words were full of determination.
"Hmm!" With a smile, looking at Tao Xiao's departing figure, Yue Chen's heart was full of ease at the moment, whether he could return to the East Courtyard seemed to be really not that important to him, but he naturally would not refuse Tao Xiao's kindness.
The so-called good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, the news that Yuechen was deposed in the West Courtyard spread like the wind throughout the Tao family, for the entire Tao family, this is really a lot of news, after all, the Tao family has not known how many years, and no disciple of the East Courtyard has been sent to the West Courtyard.
Yue Chen didn't have any more nostalgia, and he didn't have any luggage worth packing, so he simply packed the things in the room and followed a disciple to the residence of the West Courtyard.
Compared with the East Courtyard, the residence in the West Courtyard is much simpler, although it is remote, but it is also a small courtyard alone, compared to the residence in the East Courtyard, it is a little more quiet and a little less noisy, which makes Yue Chen very satisfied.
The room has obviously not been taken care of for a long time, the room is full of dust, and it took a long time for Yuechen to clean up the room, and then look at the golden orange light outside the window, only to realize that it has reached dusk, and the golden sunlight shines into the room through the window, as if inlaid with a layer of gold edges in the whole room. Yue Chen turned over and lay on the bed, stretched his waist, and suddenly felt a little more relaxed.
Since I can remember,Every day is to survive in the cracks under the oppression of all parties.,Every day there is only endless pressure and fear.,Although he is nominally the adopted son of the head of the family.,But today I was sent to the West Courtyard.,I didn't see my nominal father-in-law come forward to say a word for himself.。。
"Maybe I'm really a person who shouldn't exist for this family. He sighed secretly, and suddenly a strange voice sounded at the door interrupted Yue Chen's thoughts.
"Is Yue Chen here?" Yue Chen was slightly stunned, listening to the voice, it should be a middle-aged man, there is no one he knows in this west courtyard, with a little doubt, Yue Chen got up and opened the door.
The oncoming tall figure startled Yue Chen, but a black robe was difficult to cover the man's sturdy body, more than two meters tall, Yue Chen's door was firmly blocked, and the sword eyebrows and tiger eyes scorched the exposed dark skin, flashing with a bit of metallic luster, as if there was a mountain peak standing in front of Yue Chen.
"Who are you?" Yue Chen looked up at the man, his eyes full of doubts.
"Uncle Zhao, you're blocking me!" Before the sturdy man could speak, a familiar figure behind him attracted Yue Chen's attention.
It's still a purple dress, but compared with yesterday, Zi Muyu has a bunch of pigtails today, delicate and beautiful facial features, and eyes full of aura with a smile, but it has a bit of eccentric meaning.
"Why don't you know me!" Seeing that Yue Chen didn't take the initiative to talk to herself, Zi Muyu's lips turned up slightly, and her expression suddenly became a little more displeased!
"How could it be?" Yue Chen hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "I just didn't expect to meet again in such a way!"
"I am Zhao Yan, the director of the West Courtyard, and welcome you to the West Courtyard. Looking at the somewhat embarrassed look on Yue Chen's face, the man smiled.
Although his voice was a little hoarse, there was some concern in his words, at least in Yue Chen's ears, there was no trace of hostility.
"Hello, Master Zhao!" Yue Chen hurriedly bowed and said.
"Hey, I said you still want me to stand at the door?" Zi Muyu's small mouth pursed, obviously not satisfied with Yue Chen's perfunctory attitude just now!
"I'm really sorry!I just moved here and haven't cleaned it up yet, please don't dislike it!" Yue Chen hurriedly got out of the way and made a please.
Zhao Yan walked into the room and smiled at Yue Chen helplessly: "My little apprentice has always had this temper, but it's the first time I've seen her care about someone so much, I originally wanted to come to see you tomorrow, but this little girl has been pulling me in..."
"Uncle Zhao!" Before Zhao Yan could finish speaking, Zi Muyu hurriedly interrupted him, his cheeks obviously slightly reddened.
Seeing Zi Muyu's face a little red because of shyness, Yue Chen's heart felt a little warmer, he never thought that anyone other than Tao Xiao would care about him, maybe coming to the West Courtyard was really a right decision.
"Hmph, what are you looking at! I'm just concerned about my little junior brother who just entered the West Courtyard as a senior sister! Don't think that if you are the second young master, I won't dare to beat you!" Looking at Yue Chen, Zi Muyu's face was obviously a little redder, but her mouth was still very tough in defense, and she waved her small fists from time to time, obviously a little dissatisfied with Zhao Yan taking her up.
"Mu Yu, don't make trouble!. Zhao Yan interrupted Zi Muyu and waved his hand gently.
"Oh!" Although Zi Muyu usually likes to be crazy, she has always been very obedient to the teacher, turned around and sat quietly on the edge of the bed, completely like the little witch just now.
"I've heard a little bit about you!" Zhao Yan said slowly: "Since you have come to the West Courtyard, you will not receive any unfair treatment here, this is my guarantee to you, but since you have come to the West Courtyard, you will not have any privileges as a young master." ”
A simple promise may be normal for others, but for Yuechen, it is like sending charcoal in the snow, ten years of unfair treatment has made Yuechen not know what fairness is, and now he can have such a promise when he comes to the West Courtyard, which is enough for Yuechen.
"Thank you, Master Zhao!" Yue Chen's tone was even a little choked, after all, Yue Chen was only a ten-year-old child, with no parents, no one recognized that he cared about her, and Zhao Yan's ordinary promise actually gave Yue Chen a trace of warmth.
After a simple greeting for a while, and after informing Yuechen of the time and place of tomorrow, Zhao Yan patted Yuechen on the shoulder, and didn't need to stay too long, pulling the somewhat reluctant Zi Muyu out of Yuechen's room.
Closing the door, Yue Chen sat quietly on the edge of the bed, what happened today was really a lot, but thinking of Zi Muyu's appearance before leaving, Yue Chen couldn't help but smile slightly, put on a good posture and slowly calmed down and began to cultivate, feeling that the meridians in his body had recovered a lot, Yue Chen decided to try to cultivate and see if he could seize control of spiritual power.
As for the silver light that appeared inexplicably before, and the reason for losing the control of the spiritual power, Yue Chen didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, there were too many things that he didn't know about the cultivation journey, since he couldn't get an answer for the time being, why bother, it was better to save time and find a way to regain the control of the holy power.
The mind gradually sank into the lower abdomen, feeling that the whirlpool of holy power was still running slowly, and Yue Chen slowly tried to control a trace of holy power with his mind.
"Hum!" The moment his mind touched the Divine Power Vortex, a silver light burst out from the Spirit Power Vortex, enveloping Yue Chen's spirit before he could react.
Yue Chen only felt that it was dark, and he lost all his senses in an instant, as if a long time had passed, and it seemed like it was just a moment. When Yuechen opened his eyes again, he found himself in the depths of a strange and empty world.
The whole world seemed to be only silver, there was no sky and no earth, and it was suspended in a silvery light. After struggling a few times, he found that there was no gravity in this space, and no matter how much he struggled, he just stood still.
"This is a wisp of spiritual world that I left behind!" A gentle female voice came from all directions of this world, and Yue Chen was surprised to find that this voice actually gave Yue Chen a very cordial feeling.
"Who is it?" Yue Chen's pupils shrank, although his voice was kind, but Yue Chen didn't dare to relax at all, his body couldn't move, but his eyes kept scanning all directions, looking for the source of the sound, after all, everything came too suddenly and weirdly, even if Yue Chen was calm, but after all, he was only a ten-year-old child, and he couldn't help but be a little flustered in the face of such a thing.
"Don't look for it, you can't see me, it's just a little thought I left behind. Gentle voices were still coming from all around, and it was impossible to determine the exact source.
"Don't ask me who I am, just remember that I won't hurt you. A trace of thought can't last long, and what you hear and see next must be remembered!" As soon as the words fell, before Yuechen could say the many questions in his heart. The silver world suddenly burst out with a strong silver light, and Yue Chen lost his vision in an instant, and when the silver light slowly faded, a human meridian map drawn with silver light appeared in front of him.
"This is the meridian diagram of the human body, I have used my remaining strength to open up the necessary meridians for you, and from now on, your daily cultivation must follow this route. ”
A silver light flowed from the lower abdomen of the humanoid pattern, moving in an extremely mysterious path. Yue Chen carefully remembered this route, and for some reason, he couldn't raise a trace of resistance to this voice, only a particularly strong sense of intimacy.
Gradually, he found that this route of spiritual power operation was strange and strange, and many of the routes were meridians that Yue Chen had never touched, which was completely different from the exercises that Tao Xiao gave him, and after running it three times, the silver pattern gradually faded and disappeared.
"Yuechen, you remember that this exercise is called "Haoyue Decision", it is a secret exercise of the Yue family, and it must not be exposed. I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart, and you will slowly know in the future that you are the last hope of the Yue family, and you must ensure your safety whenever you want. The voice faded little by little, and a silver light broke through the void and suddenly disappeared into Yuechen's eyebrows.
With a muffled snort, Yue Chen fell into darkness, in the darkness, Yue Chen's mind seemed to have something more, but it was extremely vague, he seemed to see a continuous snow-capped mountain, and the buildings built on the top of the mountain were swallowed up by the skyrocketing fire.
