Chapter 26: The Great Comparison of the Three Families
In the city of Falling Rain City, in front of the Qian family's compound, a young man in ragged clothes walking barefoot was slowly approaching.
His appearance was so miserable that even the beggars on the side of the road stared at him in surprise and said, "Where did this barren people come from, it's too miserable!"
Chu Tang bared his teeth, and said secretly in his heart: "Even the beggars think I'm miserable, no, I'm going to dress up when I go back......"
"You must get a beautiful set of clothes, but you can't still look like that when you meet Liu Bingbing. ”
As long as he thought of Liu Bingbing, Chu Tang felt like there was a fire burning in his heart.
In the past, he never cared about image and other issues, but now because he has a beautiful woman, he has gradually begun to pay attention to this aspect, and only hopes that the next time he meets Liu Bingbing, he can give the other party a good image.
Sure enough, as many old people say, no matter how sloppy a person is, after having someone who loves him, he will start to pay attention to the image problem, even Chu Tang is no exception.
Stepping into the Qian family, when he entered the door, those guards were about to stop him, but after seeing his iconic white hair, they immediately recognized Chu Tang's identity, and immediately shook his head with a wry smile: "Master Chu, you should also pay attention to your image, you are too ......"
"Ahem, I know, I know, check the post well. Chu Tang patted the guard's shoulder awkwardly and strode in.
He had lived in the Qian family for a period of time before, and because of his approachable nature, he was already familiar with all the people inside, so these guards seemed to talk to him very casually.
As soon as he walked into the Qian family, both the maid and the descendants of the Qian family greeted him warmly in the courtyard: "Hey, Gongzi Chu is back." ”
"What are you doing on this trip, how did you get it like a famine? ”
"Young Master Chu, it's time for you to change your profession, or any girl would dare to approach you, hahaha. ”
"By the way, Master Chu, you are not here these days, and the head of the family has been looking for you many times. ”
There was a burst of laughter and jokes from the people around, and finally there was a serious conversation.
Chu Tang nodded and smiled at the man, "Got it, thank you, Aunt Li." ”
"Well, that's polite, go quickly. The woman named Aunt Li waved her hand, her face full of kindness.
......
In front of the Qian family's head's room, Chu Tang knocked on the door and entered, and as soon as he entered, he was immediately stunned.
I saw that Qian Buli in the room was lying on the side of the table at the moment, constantly spitting blood, and under Qian Buli's feet, there was a golden basin, and half of the basin was rippling with blood, a piercing red, so that Chu Tang didn't know what to say for a while.
"You're back. Qian ignored Chu Tang and sat up straight with difficulty, then wiped his blood-stained lips and said.
After he wiped off the residual blood, he didn't see any serious illness except for a slight pale surprise on his face.
"Master Qian, you ......" Chu Tang opened his mouth.
"You can also see, this is my situation, maybe, my days are not even half a year enough. Qian Buli shook his head and smiled bitterly, with a deep worry on his face.
Chu Tang frowned: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that your situation was really so serious. ”
"It's nothing, don't say it's you, even my wife and children don't know about me...... Well, maybe they're not pretending not to know. Qian Buli said, the loneliness in his words was very profound.
"Don't worry, what I promised you, I will definitely do it, I am already a fifth-level martial artist now. Chu Tang said suddenly, with confidence on his face, he felt that maybe saying something positive now could make Qian Buli feel more comfortable.
"It's already a fifth-level martial artist?" Qian Buli's expression really changed, and he said with joy on his face: "Okay, good, worthy of being a genius with ten-star qualifications, as long as you can join the Vermilion Bird Academy, then my Qian family will be able to tide over this difficulty, so that even if I die, I can rest assured." ”
Chu Tang frowned, not knowing what to say.
After a pause, Qian ignored it and said, "Young Master Chu, besides that, I don't know if Qian can still ask you to do something." ”
"The Qian family master is useful to me. Chu Tang nodded and said, without delaying it at all, he felt that it was pitiful for Qian to ignore such a person, and he had saved his life, if he could help, he would try his best to help.
"Well, that's right, in two days, there will be a competition between our three major families for the temporary right to use the mine outside the city......" Qian Buli said.
Chu Tang blinked his eyes and said, "I'm afraid I'm not the opponent of an eighth-level or even ninth-level powerhouse now......"
"No, no, no, if it's a fight with Zhao Nu and Sun Qiang's two old guys, I'll go, I won't need you, this competition is like this, taking into account some factors of family heritage and hidden power, every year the competition sends geniuses under the age of twenty in each clan to participate in the competition. ”
Qian Buli coughed, and said: "As long as you can beat the crowd in the younger generation, then this year's mining rights will fall into the hands of the champions, this decision, first, hides the true heritage of the major families, and secondly, it can also give the genius children of the family a chance to practice, so the competition is only allowed to participate in martial artists under the age of twenty." ”
"Martial artists under the age of twenty, well, I will do my best to help you win this championship. Chu Tang thought about it and nodded.
"Don't be careless when you are young man, although you have excellent talent, but in the younger generation, there are also many geniuses from the other two families, especially noteworthy, there is a young man named Zhao Yu in the Zhao family, who is Zhao Qianyi's own brother, and Zhao Qianyi is a genius with nine-star qualifications, but a genius who awakened and began to cultivate six years ago, and the Sun family also has a genius, who only awakened one year later than Zhao Yu, but now his strength is on par with Zhao Yu. ”
Qian Buli said, words are very precious.
Chu Tang nodded and said, "What about the Qian family?"
"I also have a son, who cultivates in retreat all day long, and his qualifications are not worse than them, but they are not much stronger, it is precisely because of the equal strength, so I want to ask Gongzi Chu to help with this, so that the Qian family can ensure this victory, after all, the Qian family lost me after half a year, if there is no supply of this mineral, it is likely that I will not be able to survive this threshold." Qian Buli said, his face revealing a deep sadness again.
Seeing that his face was full of death, Chu Tang sighed helplessly, nodded and left.
......
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and after Chu Tang had further stabilized his cultivation, he was shouted out of the room.
"Young Master Chu, the storm meeting of the three major families will start in the afternoon. Someone shouted outside the door.
Chu Tang suddenly got up from the bed and said, "By the way, I almost forgot about this, here I am." ”
With that, he turned back to freshen up.
This time, he carefully chose a suit.
After thinking that Liu Bingbing liked white clothes, he also wore a snow-white robe, especially his bare feet all day long, and today he also wore a pair of high-grade white wave treading cloud shoes.
This outfit, with his long white hair, suddenly, Chu Tang's whole person was full of a different kind of handsome and elegant temperament, and there was a charm that was particularly attractive to people's eyes.
With a squeak, he pushed open the door and walked out.
The maid of the Qian family, who was knocking on the door outside the door, was suddenly stunned, looking at Chu Tang who came out, the maid's small mouth was wide open, and she stared at Chu Tang for a few breaths before reacting, and immediately lowered her head and said with a flushed face: "Hello...... Excuse me, is Gongzi Chu inside?"
"Ah, what are you asking?" Chu Tang was stunned by the little girl's question.
"I, did I say that Chu Gongzi is inside?" The little girl didn't know why she was shy, in front of him at the moment, her body twisted and pinched, she didn't dare to raise her head and said, her voice was as low as a mosquito.
Chu Tang came to his senses, and after he changed his clothes, the little maid couldn't recognize him, and couldn't help but quip: "Xiao Zi, your eyes are too bad, right, you seemed to be next to me at dinner yesterday, and you don't know me today?"
The maid he called Xiao Zi raised her head suddenly, and after taking a few serious glances at Chu Tang, she immediately exclaimed, "Ah! You are the son of Chu?!"
Chu Tang slapped one hand on his forehead, and couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "Hey, didn't I just change my clothes, did I have such a big reaction?"
"Why not, Gongzi Chu, after you freshen up and clean, especially this white dress, really, really handsome......" Xiao Zi finished with a red face, and after finishing speaking, he immediately hid his face and fled, looking very embarrassed.
Chu Tang was stunned in place for a few seconds, and then he reacted, this was praising him, and he was happy at the moment: "Hahahaha, Jun is Jun, what are you running, I won't eat you." ”
After speaking, he was very satisfied and looked at his clothes, and said secretly: "I didn't expect that I, Chu someone, would also be said to be handsome, and the next time I meet Liu Bingbing, he shouldn't dislike me anymore." ”
After a small episode, Chu Tang and the Qian family, several young geniuses who were going to participate in the three-clan competition, got together and set off.
When he appeared in white clothes like snow-white hair, it caused a burst of surprise in the crowd, and they all circled around Chu Tang several times with great curiosity, if it weren't for Chu Tang's white hair not changing, this group of people would definitely not recognize him as Chu Tang.
"Okay, okay, it's important to get down to business, let's go!" After being watched for a long time, Chu Tang lost his previous happiness and excitement, and waved his hand a little impatiently.
It's just that now he has white hair and white clothes and an elegant face, even if he waves his hand impatiently, he has a different temperament in it, which makes people have to sigh, it is worthy of being a person who relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles......
At that moment, a group of people set out and walked towards the central square of the city.
"I heard that there will be dozens of geniuses participating in the Three Clans Storm this time, all of them are extraordinary, and they are all elites of the major families. ”
"Well, especially Zhao Yu, Sun Yudan, and Qian Xiaobu, the three geniuses who have been moving for a long time, will appear. ”
"It is rumored that the strength of these three people has surpassed that of some of the older generation of powerhouses, even the heads of those second-rate families are not their opponents. ”
"That's so strong!"
Along the way, there was news about this big competition between the three major families everywhere, and the most talked about was the names of Zhao Yu and the other three, which made Chu Tang quite concerned and secretly paid attention to it.
