Starfall Alliance, Knorr Villa.

After hundreds of years, the gray and dark mountain castle still stands on the top of the towering and rugged mountain peak.

A touch of sunset will overlook Xu Chen on the balcony on the top floor, and cross a layer of pink gold.

Although Xu Chen's face was cold, there were ripples in his heart. He's still immersed in today's showdown.

With a strength that far surpassed the first division of the same period, he only lost a total of one game today.

It is the game that voluntarily admits defeat and exits.

Xun Qiu's unguardedness, as well as his heart-to-heart affinity with his friends, made him feel warm in his heart.

It was a very wonderful feeling, completely different from the people around him. Except for his grandfather and mother, who were extremely strict with him, the people in the family all looked submissive when they saw him. As the only malleable talent in the family in recent years, the family's expectations for him are as heavy as a mountain. On the contrary, his father, who came from a humble background, was quite kind to him. But the weak and incompetent father has no say in this family.

He had always wanted to run away from this home.

It's almost there. As long as he helps his family and the Star Fall Alliance win this rookie game, he will find a chance to leave this oppressive place!

He suddenly made such a bold decision, and he couldn't help but feel excited. The pleasure of being about to break out of the cage ran from head to toe and spread all over his body, making him laugh involuntarily.

Ha ha......

"Chen'er!" Just as he was basking in the advance pleasure of his plan, an extremely stern voice came from the gatehouse behind him. There was unmistakable majesty in the voice.

It's grandpa!

Xu Chen's smile suddenly froze, he quickly straightened his clothes, and then turned around and walked towards his grandfather.

The old man with white hair not far in front of him was his grandfather and the current head of the Knoll family, Basaro Mu Noll. Dressed in a wide robe and long gown, Barsaromu's silver-white hair was neatly combed, and his eyes, which were large and bright when he was young, were now dull, with deep sunken eye sockets and wrinkled corners. The half-ricketed body and trembling steps are even more old. But his neutral voice still has a full deterrent power!

With a cane, Barsaromu stood in the shadow of the gatehouse, waiting for his grandson to come forward. In the eyebrows that cannot be seen clearly in the dark, there is no love for the grandchildren, more coldness.

"Come with me!" Barçalomu said coldly.

"Yes! Grandfather. Xu Chen lowered his eyebrows and quietly followed behind his grandfather.

The grandparents walked slowly and slowly, and did not speak. The atmosphere was simply stiff. Xu Chen never took the initiative to make love to his grandfather, and he didn't dare.

After a while, they descended a long staircase behind the gatehouse and came to a large stone gate that was two people high. As the two approached, the door creaked as if sensing the arrival of its master, and slowly opened inward. When the two of them walked into the room, the door creaked shut.

It is a large room with several giant bookcases on the left and right. Inside the bookcase are paper books that have almost disappeared from the world of the seven seas. And most of them are very old and very precious. The rest of the room is decorated in the same way as the books in the bookcase, which is out of date, simple and full of heritage. At the end of the room, there is a yew table, almost five meters wide. If there is an expert in the history of the Seven Seas today, you will surely find that everything in the room is at least a few hundred years old. Any one of them is brought to the market, and it is an antique-level treasure.

This has always been a forbidden place for the inferior. It is the ordinary cleaning and tidying work, which is also in charge of Xu Chen's mother Los Bes. Although Xu Chen didn't know how many secrets there were in this room, one of the secrets was closely related to him.

Xu Chen walked to the yew table, put his hands on the sides of his trousers, and stood there very restrained and motionless.

Barçaromu, on the other hand, stood in a corner of the wall behind the table, groping for something.

At this time, Xu Chen had a secret lingering in his heart. This is a secret that only he knows in this family. He believed that even his grandfather, who was not smiling, would definitely smile when he heard the secret. Perhaps my grandfather, as soon as he was pleased, would grant him a request to leave the house and go out and travel around. In that case, he would not need to say goodbye without saying goodbye. After making up his mind, he secretly mustered up his courage, took a step forward with a smile, and said to his grandfather:

"Grandpa, I'm ...... today"

"Drink it!" The voice of my grandfather, who had already turned around, was like a cold wind from the northern sea, which made the room temperature of this vast room almost drop by a few degrees.

Barcelona's inviolable and aggressive tone made Xu Chen suddenly feel like a fish in his throat and froze in place.

Xu Chen Mouran found that he might be a little selfish.

yes, how could I break the promise I made and divulge that secret just to make myself feel better?

Even if you really do what you want, how can you have peace of mind?

Xu Chen swallowed the unspoken words back into his stomach, and then took a small bottle handed to him by his grandfather.

"This is the last one. Drink it all. Grandpa Barsaromu's voice did not carry a trace of emotion, but a pair of chaotic eyes were as sharp as eagle eyes at this time, staring at Xu Chen deadly. He had to make sure that Xu Chen drank all the contents of the bottle without leaving a drop and absorbed it completely before he could rest assured.

"Yes!" Xu Chen was a little nervous, and the hand holding the bottle trembled slightly. This bottle is heavier than ever. That is, the more the dose of the contents of the bottle, the side effects ......

Xu Chen closed his eyes tightly and didn't think about it anymore. He tilted his head back and drank the colorless liquid from the bottle as if he were dead.

"Ahh Xu Chen endured it for about a few breaths, and then couldn't help but roar loudly.

The side effects of this last one were truly terrifying!

At this time, Xu Chen felt as if there was a hot current of magma running around in his body! The whole body was steaming with a trace of heat, and the originally white skin was now as red and purple as a furnace iron. The temperature of that heat flow seemed to be getting higher and higher, and Xu Chen, who was still sane, even wondered if he couldn't withstand this pass. Under the tempering of this hot flow, his whole body trembled involuntarily, the green tendons on his whole body soared, his eyes turned white, and his face became hideous and terrifying because of the severe pain.

Compared to Xu Chen's pain, Barcelomu's facial expression was also wonderful. His cloudy gaze was as hot as if he had returned to his youth. The already wrinkled face also stretched a lot because of the look of surprise. It was the first time he had seen such a violent tempering reaction. As long as Xu Chen can survive it, he believes that the day when the family will prosper again will definitely not be far away!

After about ten minutes, Xu Chen's face slowly improved, and his complexion gradually turned from purple to red, faded, and then returned to the white appearance of a young man. Xu Chen, who was covered in sweat, finally opened his eyes, clenched his fists, looked at his body, closed his eyes again, and took a deep breath. The whole person was like a stone sculpture, and after being silent for a while, he slowly opened his eyes again.

"How?" Basaromu asked very eagerly, and he unconsciously took a few steps closer to Xu Chen, and felt his grandson's body after this last tempering in the nearest place. Even if he was dying, he could still feel that vigorous sense of power.

“…… Very strong! The strength may have broken through the seventh level, and the other dimensions have also increased a lot......" Xu Chen replied solemnly. There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone. After all, it's all about experience, and you can only get a rough idea.

"What about distraction? What about distraction? Basaromu took a few more steps closer to Xu Chen, his voice a little sharper with excitement. That's what he cares about the most. After all, their family is a descendant of Elliot Knorr, the [Insect Master] armorer. Distraction is the foundation of their prosperity.

"I don't know...... I guess I should have passed level five, right? Xu Chen faced his grandfather, who was almost close to him, and took half a step back in horror before bowing his head and answering. Even if he was already strong, he didn't dare to look his grandfather in the eyes.

"Good! Good! Good! Barcelo Mulian said three good words before he slowly turned around, and whispered to the sky outside the window with his eyes, "I'm only sixteen years old, and I'm distracted at level five!" The future is immeasurable, the future is immeasurable! ”

"Chen'er!" Basaromu suddenly turned around sharply and said to Xu Chen in a slightly trembling voice. Hearing it, even if it was such a simple two words, he forced the excitement and joy in his heart and reluctantly said it.

"Grandpa asked you, if you were asked to change your surname and change your name and succeed your uncle as a son, would you be willing?!" After a few minutes of silence, Barçaromu slowly asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time. Although he was a little inquiring, his tone was stiff and unemotional, which made people shudder.

He had told Xu Chen's father Xu Huai many times about this, but he had never said it in front of Xu Chen. That waste Xu Huai is quite calm in this matter. No matter how coercive and tempting he was, Xu Huai only had one sentence, and it would be up to him to decide after Xu Chen became a master. Unable to resist Xu Huai, Barsaromu finally agreed, and began a long-term plan to take care of Xu Chen.

treats Xu Chen, he is completely cultivated as an heir. He used his deterrence and influence to firmly control Xu Chen in his hands. Under his discipline, Xu Chen gradually became a "good boy" who obeyed his orders. For his grandfather, he won't say a word. Let it go east, and it will never go west. Let it cultivate, and you will never play.

Now Xu Chen has officially become a master. And the last dose of Qi's factor has also been successfully quenched. He felt that the time was ripe.

Truth be told, he already knew the answer before he asked this sentence. Xu Chen has been disciplined since he was a child, and he has never left his side. His word, to him, was like a holy decree that could not be violated. Moreover, making him a member of the Knoll family is not an insult to him. Barsaromu had not yet heard the answer he expected. But with such an obvious result, he didn't think about it at all, joy was already rippling in his heart, and there was a rare smile on the corner of his mouth.

"This ......" As soon as he heard this, Xu Chen's already calm face suddenly became solemn.

Joining the Knoll family may seem like a desirable thing to ordinary people. Not to mention the rest, the wealth of the Noel family alone is already inexhaustible. What's more, those who are familiar with the situation of the Noll family know that there are no young and strong men in the Noel family today. The son of the head of the family, Basaromu, died at an early age, leaving only one daughter. In other words, once Xu Chen agrees to Basaromu's request, then he will definitely inherit Basaromu and become the next generation of the Noel family!

As the grandson of Basaromu, how could Xu Chen not know the stakes involved?

The grandfather in front of him, Basaromu, was already old and sick. Coupled with the familial mental weakness caused by the distraction of the Noel family's cultivation, it is unknown how many years he can continue to serve as the head of the family.

In other words, as long as Xu Chen is willing, within a few years, he will be the head of the Nuoer family, in charge of hundreds of millions of wealth, and lead the Nuoer Jia Division! is to find a continent to open up your own exclusive territory, that is all at your fingertips!

What escapes from this family, what travels far and wide. He can even buy a corner of the Quartet if he wants to!

Xu Chen stood in place, his heart was full of waves, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Where can a sixteen-year-old boy be able to calm down in a moment?! His eyes became more and more hot as the future unfolded in his mind!

Barçaromu was very satisfied with Xu Chen's eyes. It was a kind of hot eyes full of domineering, which was exactly what he was happy to see.

However, this glittering gaze suddenly dimmed for a moment.

Xu Chen, who didn't dare to disobey his wishes since he was a child, froze his enthusiasm into ice slag with three cold words:

"I refuse."
