Cultivate every day, study spiritual patterns, devour spiritual energy, and occasionally refine spiritual liquid. Qin Du lived a busy and peaceful life.

Suddenly, one morning, Manager Liu came to visit and told Qin Jie. The lord of the castle is in critical condition, and tells him to see him one last time no matter what.

Immediately put down the half-painted spirit pattern in his hand, and without saying a word, he went straight to the City Lord's Mansion with Manager Liu.

Everywhere I looked, Ouyang Xiu was already weak lying on the bed. Ouyang Fei touched her tears on the side, and in just a few days, she looked a lot stronger and more mature.

And according to Qin Decision, he nodded, walked to the head of the bed, leaned down and woke up his father softly.

Ouyang Xiu, who was almost unconscious, heard that it was Qin Jue who came. A glimmer of brilliance was regained in the cloudy old eyes.

Qin Jue hurriedly stepped forward, no matter what he said, his sense of Ouyang Xiu was still good. As the lord of the city, he is at least worthy of the four words of diligence and love for the people. With this alone, you can earn your own respect.

After Qin Jue walked over, Ouyang Xiu waved his hand with all his might, causing everyone else to withdraw.

After everything went out, Ouyang Xiu turned his head with difficulty and looked sideways at Qin Jie.

The other party's situation was obviously nothing to comfort him, Qin Jue didn't know what to say for a while, and he didn't speak in a daze.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Ouyang Xiu actually smiled.

Ouyang Xiu smiled, his spirit improved a little, his breath was no longer so difficult, and his speech became neat.

"You kid, ,,,," he sighed slowly, and continued, "The first time I saw you kid, I felt that you were different. I can't say what the difference is, it's just very unique. ”

Qin Jue knew that the other party was returning to the light, so he could keep silent as much as possible without interrupting the side, and let the other party say everything he wanted to say.

"I was not born in a direct family, and if it weren't for the thin family members, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do it back then. Ouyang Xiu's eyes were confused, and his thoughts fell into memories.

"Because I am not a direct line, I have been ostracized and treated unfairly since I was a child. So, I swore at that time that I would sit in the position of lord of the castle no matter what. Prove to everyone that origin doesn't determine everything. ”

"Later, I finally got my wish, but unfortunately I lost too much for it. I don't live a life that is free enough, and I always worry too much. On the other hand, I admire you for being more decisive than when I was younger. ”

As he spoke, Ouyang Xiu took out a piece of brocade from under his pillow and handed it to Qin Jie. The brocade is folded, and it is faintly visible from the back, and there is writing on the folded side.

Qin Jue didn't know what it was, so he took it without asking.

"This is my will, and by reading it, you can take over the position of lord of the city. ”

Hearing Ouyang Xiu's words, Qin Jue immediately wanted to return the things.

"Don't worry, listen to what I've to say. After Ouyang Xiu finished speaking, he coughed a few times, his face flushed, and then said: "I know that you are not here, but this will is just to leave you one more choice." If one day you really want to do it, you can use it. I just hope the process doesn't get bloody. ”

After the old man who was about to die finished speaking, he looked at Qin Jue with a serious expression.

Qin Jue nodded, took the thing, and put it in his arms.

All the city lord families of the Terran forces are the same, and they can be passed down from generation to generation. Some Dao cities are even managed by a family for hundreds or thousands of years. Therefore, as long as there is the will of the previous city lord, it is justifiable to take over the position of the city lord.

"Also, the only thing I can't worry about is ,,,cough cough!"

Ouyang Xiu's breath suddenly became disordered, and he coughed sharply. Ku Qi grabbed Qin Jie's arm with both hands, and his expression was very excited.

"Old city lord, I know, take care of Fei'er, I will try my best to do this!"

Seeing that the old man's aura was gradually weakening, Qin Jue knew what he wanted at this time. At this time, you can only try to comfort yourself.

As soon as the strength on his arm was loosened, he probably listened to Qin Jue's words and finally put his mind at ease. The old man closed his eyes and ended his life.

Qin Jue walked out of the door in a daze, and subconsciously informed everyone outside, "The old city lord is gone!"

Although the Ouyang family is thin, they also have some distant relatives, after all, Ouyang Xiu was the city lord before his death. Moreover, the city lord's mansion has always been inhabited by all kinds of chaotic people who can be involved in some relationships.

Now that they heard that Ouyang Xiu had died, a group of people rushed in with grief and grief.

It's a mess for a while!

Qin Jue glanced back at the house and listened to the chaotic cries coming from inside. Suddenly I felt distraught, and was about to leave, when I saw a figure standing under the weeping willows by the lake in the courtyard.

So he stepped forward and arched his hand: "Liu Sanxian, oh, no, you should call Mr. Liu in the future." ”

Ouyang Xiu died, Ning Ke ran away, and now the other party has not survived and has become a real 'Mr. Liu'.

Liu Zongyuan looked sideways and said, "Gongzi Qin is really good at telling jokes, so let's call me Mr. Liu San!"

"Oh!" Qin Jue was slightly stunned, pretending to be puzzled.

The other party looked at the lake again, as if talking to himself, and muttered: "Being the first is too restrictive, not free, and you have to worry too much about everything." It's too tiring to be the second, and I always want to work hard to move forward and one day I can surpass the first. It's good to be a third ,,,!"

After speaking, he smiled sideways again: "Gongzi Qin thinks what I said is right?"

"That makes sense. Qin replied without thinking.

"However, with the strength of Qin Gongzi, he deserves to be the first in Antarctic City now, right?" the other party seemed to think of something, and asked Qin Jue.

"Hmm. Qin Jue nodded, pondered for a moment, and replied, "Maybe it will soon be more than the number one in Antarctic City?"

Qin Jue has always been a little unable to see through the manager Liu in front of him. The other party, as a Yuan Realm cultivator, had silently hidden his strength for so long.

The other party's words also had a tentative meaning for him.

After speaking, the two glanced at each other and smiled in unison.

"Why is Mr. Three here alone? The old city lord has passed away, why don't you go over and take a look?"

"He was a teacher and a friend when he was alive, and now that he's gone, I just have to do what I have to do. There's a mess there, and I'm not going to mix it up. ”

"Mr. Three is high and gone. Qin Jue said, and then turned to leave.

"Walk slowly. The voice of Manager Liu sounded behind him.

Returning to the residence, I stepped through the courtyard gate and saw the domineering man lying lazily on the ground. There is also Jizo sitting on a chair next to domineering. And the latter was lying leisurely, stepping on the domineering and soft body with his big feet.

With Jizo's movements, the domineering body swayed like a soft rubber bubble filled with water.

One man and one beast, all of them are very comfortable.

The weather has gradually begun to warm, and the sun is not dazzling, avoiding the obscurations of the surrounding and courtyard leaves, and spilling dappled on the ground of the small courtyard.

The scene in front of him made Qin Jue's slightly irritable heart gradually calm down because of Ouyang Xiu's departure.

"Childe is back?" Xiao Ning held a bamboo set in his hand, which was full of fruits and vegetables. After greeting Qin Jie, he turned into the kitchen and was preparing lunch for everyone.

Jizo, who had been leisurely and comfortable, heard this and got up from his chair. And the domineering just raised his eyelids slightly and continued to lie there.

"You go on. Qin Jue waved his hand and motioned for Jizo to sit down. As he walked towards the room, he asked casually, "How is the refining of the Earth Spirit Bead?"

"It's still early, and it will take a while. ”

As soon as Jizo's words fell, the carriage stopped outside the door, and the old horse and Shang Yan entered the courtyard with their front and back feet.

As soon as the old horse returned, he took out a palm-sized oiled paper bag from his bosom.

Open the oiled paper bag, put a large piece of pastry inside, and put it in front of the domineering with the oiled paper.

Domineering smelled the fragrance of the pastry, immediately opened his eyes, nodded at the old horse with a smile, and began to eat.
