Chapter 31: The Four Families

In front of the manor.

"Rong'er, what's going on?" On the side, a bald woman asked Hua Rong with a suspicious face, it was the fourth elder Liu Yun, beside her, there were the great elder Qiu Zhengyi and the hall master of the Tianwu Hall, Xu Wuzhou, who also glanced at Li Ding and the three of them with a puzzled expression, and hurriedly greeted Yu Lao and the others.

"Hall Master Xu, Elder Qiu, Elder Liu, don't come unharmed. Yu Lao saluted the three in return.

"Hall Master Xu?" Looking at the sturdy old man, Li Ding saw Tianwu Hall Master Xu Wuzhou for the first time. Turning his head to look at the other side, the four people standing were swept out of the manor, and they should be from the four families.

Li Ding already knew that in addition to the Qing clan on Lingyan Island, there were also Xue, Lin, Ye, and Thursday, and he didn't know what the identities of these four people were. was guessing, but heard Liu Yun say again: "Rong'er, the right teacher sensed that you used the wind and fire vitality, what's the matter." ”

Hearing this, Li Ding's heart tightened, obviously these seven people rushed over because they sensed the surging breath of Yu Lao and the two just now, and when he didn't know how Yu Lao should explain, he heard Hua Rong laugh and said: "What does the master think? Just now this Grandpa Yu wanted to teach Rong'er the strength of his vitality, and Rong'er would use his vitality, but he didn't expect it to attract ......" while saying and pulling Liu Yun's sleeve and coquettishly said: "I'm sorry, master, Rong'er won't be like this in the future." ”

After speaking, he secretly winked at Yu Lao, and his cute appearance caused everyone to shake their heads and laugh.

Yu Lao also nodded and smiled, and was very pleased because of this girl's understanding. He said to Liu Yun: "I didn't expect Elder Liu to be able to teach such a brilliant disciple, the old man can be regarded as a long-term insight today." Imagine that the old man has been cultivating for more than sixty years, and he has only reached the late stage of the Imperial Spirit, who would have thought that this little doll is only twelve or thirteen years old, and it is already in the late stage of Ning Yuan, and the vitality has already taken on the stage of transformation, and the future is immeasurable!"

Yu Lao's words seemed to make Liu Yun feel quite comfortable, and she looked Hua Rong up and down and didn't find anything wrong, which also made her feel that it should be as Hua Rong said before, so she smiled and whispered to Yu Lao: "Yu Lao is too modest, if it weren't for the accident back then, with Yu Lao's wind and thunder dual family name Yuanqi, not to mention the late stage of the Imperial Spirit, I'm afraid Yu Lao would have been in the same realm as the master of the sect." ”

"What do you do with the past, the old man can have today's achievements is also the grace of the former master of the noble door, there is no need to say polite words, but this time there is a lot of trouble. Yu Lao said.

Here, Qiu Zhengyi smiled: "Yu Lao said there, you are a senior-level figure, it is very rare to be able to personally lead the team here this time, please forgive me if you don't take care of it." ”

"Well, Yu Xiong originally planned to come, but there was something temporary in the clan, so I had to come by the old man. It's just that as soon as I arrived, I saw the two proud disciples of your family, which really opened the old man's eyes. Yu Lao said with a smile.

"Two?" Hearing Yu Lao's words, the others all looked at Li Xia, making Li Ding a little cramped.

From the conversation between Liu Yun and Yu Lao, everyone already knew that Hua Rong was different, but they couldn't see anything special about Li Ding for a while.

"Xue Yun was also here just now. Looking at the appearance of everyone, it seemed that he didn't want to embarrass Li Ding, and as if he remembered what happened before, he had the intention to sue Xue Yun in front of Liu Yun, Hua Rong suddenly said: "He ...... him"

"Right...... Your Xue Yun apprentice is also a talent, two such rare young juniors worship under you, but they are really envious of others," Yu Lao interrupted Hua Rong's words and said with a smile. But she glanced at Hua Rong, obviously saying that you were empathetic just now, and now it's like this, this girl is really cute, a little too much.

Hearing Hua Rong and Yu Lao's words, everyone realized that the other person Yu Lao said was not Li Ding. Seeing Old Yu's eyes, Hua Rong stuck out her tongue and stopped talking, but a black-robed old man from the four major families on the side nodded with a smile, his face faintly proud.

After finishing speaking, Liu Yun had a smile on his face, and then after a few more words of greeting with everyone, he left with Qiu Zhengyi and Xu Wuzhou. Obviously, Ming said that it was the celebration of the door, and all kinds of matters still needed to be dealt with by them. Here, after Liu Yun and the three left, the four people who swept out of the manor greeted Yu Lao again.

Seeing Liu Yun and the three of them leave, the people of the four families stared at Li Ding again, as if they noticed that Yu Lao was particularly concerned about the thin young man beside him, and one of the middle-aged men with fiery red hair arched his hand at Yu Lao and said: "I didn't expect the Yu clan elder to come this time, I don't know if this is the Yu clan old ......" The meaning of the words is obvious.

"The son of the deceased, it is inconvenient to say more. Yu Lao replied without thinking, which made Li Ding a little surprised and at the same time very grateful to Yu Lao, because Yu Lao was obviously covering up for him. was still talking about how brilliant Hua Rong was beside him, and if others asked him, he might not know how to answer.

For Yu Lao's answer, the red-haired man was obviously stunned, but listening to Yu Lao's tone, it was inconvenient to ask more, so he changed the topic and said: "Yesterday, I heard that there are three places in the Qing clan this time, but I don't know why the Yu clan only brought two juniors here?"

"Yes, I almost forgot, the Qing clan didn't recommend one during the last Jinguangmen Gate celebration, so there should indeed be three places this time. The black-robed old man who nodded with a smile just now also said, and the other two people standing beside him also nodded in agreement.

After listening to the words of the two, Yu Lao frowned, and asked with some displeasure: "Zhou Kang, Xue Qi, what do you two have to say?"

After the red-haired man named Zhou Kang and the black-robed old man named Xue Qi glanced at each other, Xue Qi smiled with an old face and said: "Since Wu Tiandao was in charge of Jinguangmen, your Qing clan has two recommended places every time, and the four of us have only one, although last time you didn't recommend one person for some reasons, and automatically gave up one place, but in any case, this time it is two more than us." ”

"So what?" As if he had guessed Xue Qi's thoughts, Yu Lao's face was already quite displeased. But Xue Qi continued: "Yesterday, I saw that you only brought two juniors, so the remaining one place, can you ......" The words did not come out, but the meaning was already very obvious.

But when he heard this, Yu Lao smiled and said, "Didn't you see this kid next to me, isn't he a junior." ”

"Are you ......" Zhou Kang was stunned for a moment, looked at Xue Qi, who was also surprised, and said: "Did you give the quota to outsiders?" Yu Lao smiled again: "Is there a rule that this recommended quota cannot be given to outsiders? If there is such a statement, even if there is still a quota, it cannot be given to the two of you, after all, you two and the Qing clan are also outsiders." ”

Yu Lao's words made Zhou Xue and the others speechless suddenly, and Xue Qi was even more red. The other two people next to him couldn't help but smile, one of them was also a long-faced old man in a black robe, and after brushing the few beards under his chin, he said: "It seems that Old Yu takes good care of the son of this old man, and even let one of the recommended places in the clan come out." As he spoke, he smiled at Xue Qi and said, "It seems that only one of the two juniors brought by the head of the Xue family can enter directly." ”

Who knew that as soon as the long-faced old man's voice fell, Xue Qi said to the long-faced old man with an angry face: "You Lin Xuetong don't watch jokes here, to put it bluntly, your Lin family has no selfish intentions for this place." ”

Hearing this, the long-faced old man named Lin Xuetong turned pale, but he had no intention of refutating. On the contrary, another old man with a soft face standing beside Lin Xuetong said lightly: "Actually, this recommendation quota is really not a big deal, if you really think that your juniors are gifted talents, and they can reach the realm of the late Ning Yuan period before the age of sixteen or within five years from now, the old man doesn't mind giving up the quota of my Ye family." ”

Hearing this, the red-haired man named Zhou Kang before couldn't help but look stunned, but said with a smile: "Ye Lao is generous, but it's a pity that my Zhou family really doesn't have such talents." After finishing speaking, his eyes couldn't help but stare at Hua Rong beside Li Ding a few more times, from the mouth of Yu Lao before, everyone already knew that the girl in front of him, who looked like he was only twelve or thirteen years old, was already in the late stage of Ning Yuan, if nothing else, it would not be difficult to break through to the Imperial Spirit Realm before the age of sixteen.

Here, after listening to Zhou Kang's words, Xue Qi's face softened a little, and he also said to the old man surnamed Ye: "This is true, if you can't do it in all aspects, you will be directly selected, if you can't endure hardships or if you don't have the slightest improvement in the realm within two or three years, it is useless to stay in Jinguangmen, and this kind of situation has been encountered too many times over the years." Xue Qi's words also made everyone nod.

"It seems that the head of the Xue family is also a reasonable person, since the words have come to this, if there is nothing else, the old man will not accompany him. Saying that, Yu Lao bowed his hand to Xue Qi, and took Li Ding into the manor, Hua Rong also smiled obediently and quickly followed.

Seeing that Yu Lao left with some indignation, the old man surnamed Ye also turned around and entered the manor. After a while, Zhou Kang spoke again: "Yu Xiangdong, this old guy, usually pretends to be sanctimonious, but when it comes to vital interests, he has a stinky temper. ”

"It's a little stinky, but it's really a cultivation genius, as Liu Yun said, if it weren't for that incident back then, he wouldn't be more than the current realm. You also heard it just now, and with his eyes, he can praise Yun'er for two sentences, which shows that this little guy is making good progress. So there's no need to be angry, he hasn't had such a junior in the Qing clan for decades, right?" Xue Qi sneered.

"The decline of the Qing clan is obvious, but if it weren't for the fact that Yu Lao really didn't have today's Wu Tiandao, there would be one more place, I just hope that the three juniors I brought in tomorrow's selection can pass smoothly. Lin Xuetong said, and also entered the manor, leaving Zhou Xue and the others standing in place in a daze.
