"Then you ...... practice?"

"Dad, don't worry. I won't fall behind in martial arts, and I won't let you down in the family conference competition in a month! ”

"Family assembly? Just do your best! ”

Xuan Zhongwu shook his head helplessly. His son is his only hope, but he is still too young after all! is only eight or nine years old, and he is not even old enough to participate in the triennial family conference competition!

Day 10.

The back alley of the Sifang Inn. Under the blue laurel tree.

The rain was pouring down.

The air was filled with a hazy mist, and drifting raindrops fluttered in the wind......

Under the tree, a thin and resolute figure stood straight and straight, like a small tree growing next to the tree.

"Your Highness." The figure of the ghost owl came suddenly.

"You don't have to persuade me." The figure under the tree, faintly refused.

"Your Highness, I'm not trying to persuade you. I just wanted to say that you've been waiting here for a full ten days! Every day, you wait from morning to night...... The young lady never showed up. It's raining today, and she probably won't come. Your Highness might as well go back to the inn today to rest for a day, and come back tomorrow to wait. ”

"No, you don't."

Two simple and cold words, completely rejected his proposal.

"But will she really come? It's the 10th day! ”

"We made an appointment...... She will definitely come! ”

Xing Dark whispered, his cold eyes mixed with endless emptiness......

"Hey. His Royal Highness's body ...... "The ghost owl was a little helpless, but there was nothing to be done. If there is anyone in the world who really understands the stars, it is him. What the stars decide is something that no one can change!

Twenty-five days later.

There are only five days left until the end of Xuanyue's punishment period. Xuan Zhongwu hadn't seen his daughter for almost a month. He only occasionally heard people mention that his daughter seemed to have madness, stupid and unresponsive. Nothing but work. She couldn't even hear others call her. His daughter's situation made him very worried. But it was inconvenient for him to disturb his daughter's punishment, so as not to be accused of favoritism.

As soon as Xuan Zhongwu came to the General's Mansion, he saw Xuan Jiwen at the door of the account room......

"Third brother. Coming so early? It can't be your wife and brother's repayment, right? "The date for the second installment of repayment has arrived, and Xuan Zhongwu asked Qu Tubao yesterday to collect the debt, and Qu Tubao said that he had no money and would slow down for a few days.

"I don't bother to care about that bastard, the second brother wants to kill or fight casually!" Xuan Jiwen said angrily.

"Oh? What is the third brother looking for me for? Xuan Zhongwu was very curious about the attitude of the third brother today, and obviously attached importance to him, the second brother. Since the ancestral hall incident a month ago, Xuan Zhongwu has not been in contact with his father and brother, and today the third brother came to find him in person, there must be something important.

"Father is looking for you!" Xuan Jiwen said straight to the point.

"Father? Is something wrong? ”

"After seeing my father, let's go!" Xuan Jiwen pulled Xuan Zhongwu and left.

Coming to Xuan Wenye's room, Xuan Zhongwu found that the eldest brother Xuan Boyong was already in the room, and there were many people, Xuan Zhengyang, the head of the law enforcement hall, Xuan Chengxin, the deputy hall master, Xuan Biao, the governor of the infantry battalion, Xuan Hao, the governor of the cavalry battalion, and several elders of the Xuan clan......

The room was packed with fourteen or fifteen people, and the father's broad back stood with his hands in his hands, standing under the portrait of his ancestors......

"Second brother is here!" Xuan Jiwen took Xuan Zhongwu into the house and stood down on the side.

"Then all the people are together! Father, please give me an account! "Xuan Boyong has always been more serious, and today's expression is particularly serious, as if something big is about to happen.

"You know this portrait...... Who is drawing? Xuan Wenye suddenly asked a strange question.

"This ......"

Some people look at each other......

This portrait has been hanging on the wall of Old Man Xuan's room for fifty or sixty years, and everyone knows that this is an ancestor of the Xuan family...... However, it is true that few people know which ancestor of the Xuan family is the person in the portrait.

Xuan Jiwen suddenly thought of a name.

"Father, is it Xuan Zhaolong's ancestor?"

"He is my great-grandfather! In addition to the super power who founded the family, the Xuan clan is the only child of the Xuan family who has practiced the Nine Veins Divine Sword to the eighth realm in the past three thousand years! His name is Xuan Zhaolong! This name, as a disciple of the Xuan family, you should all remember it well! Xuan Wenye slowly opened a jar of old wine that had been sealed for many years......

"Father, today's mission ......"

"Do you know why the Xuan clan has so many ancestors, many of whom are extraordinary in martial arts, and there are also those who have made significant contributions to the family, and there are also those who have made outstanding contributions in the court. Why...... I'm going to hang a portrait of my great-grandfather in my room? ”

"This ......"

"The patriarch should miss his great-grandfather!"

"Uncle Clan's intention is to make the disciples of the Xuan clan grateful for the efforts of their ancestors?"

Xuan Zhongwu suddenly said, "Father." Your intention is to remember your great ancestor's study and attainment of the Nine Veins Divine Sword, so as to encourage the younger generations? ”

Xuan Wenye glanced up at this son who usually disliked the most, and then said lightly: "You have a generous personality and thoughtfulness, if you are willing to use it on the right path!" I hung the portrait of my great-ancestor in my room, in order to always encourage and remind myself that the legend of the Xuan clan, the invincible peerless martial arts nine-vein divine sword in the world, is not in vain. As you all know, there are a total of nine layers of the Nine Veins Divine Sword. Once this great ancestor had only practiced the Nine Veins Divine Sword to the eighth level, and he was already famous all over the world! The younger generations are not talented, but I hope to be able to inherit the glory of the predecessors and revitalize and protect the Xuan clan! Perhaps many of you don't believe in the Nine Veins Divine Sword anymore, and you don't even believe that the Xuan family thousands of years ago was the number one clan in the world...... Three thousand years is already so far away. No matter how dazzling the brilliance is, it is already out of reach. The future of the Xuan clan needs us to create! In this room, all of you are the best talents of the Xuan clan today, and the strength of each and every one of you has reached the seventh order......"

Although, he looked at Xuan Zhongwu. Only this uncompetitive son, whose strength is still at the peak of the sixth order. It's been more than 20 years, and I haven't been promoted.

"The mission to be carried out today is related to the fate of the Xuan clan! Cheng, the Xuan clan will definitely surprise the world one day! Defeat is nothing to say. It's just that the people in this room today will be the most important backbone of the Xuan clan in the future, you have to remember that the people who can survive after today want to revitalize the Xuan clan, only the Nine Veins Divine Sword! ”

"Yes! Patriarch! ”

"We will definitely remember the teachings of the patriarch!"

The masters of the Xuan family were surging one by one, and their expressions were excited and dignified.

Xuan Zhongwu on the side was a little inexplicable, it seemed that he was the only one among all who didn't know what was going to happen.

"Zhongwu!"

suddenly shouted, and Old Man Xuan's face trembled slightly.

"Father. I'm here. Xuan Zhongwu took two steps forward as a sign of respect.

Xuan Wenye took out a small oilcloth bag from his arms and said, "Do you know what is in it?" ”

Xuan Zhongwu shook his head.

At this moment, he was confused. He didn't know what was going on at all, just looking at his father's expression and looking at the expressions of other people, he knew that something big must have happened in the Xuan family, or that something big was about to happen!
