Chapter 3: I Don't Want to!
"I don't want to!"
An angry voice suddenly sounded, and everyone turned their eyes to the weak figure at the door of the hall, with an incredulous expression.
Including Qin Xiangyu, looking at this usually weak brother, he couldn't imagine that these three words would come out of his mouth. After that, he was relieved, and with his brother's usual favor for him, it was normal to say this.
It's just that my brother didn't expect the consequences of this? Maybe it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a catastrophe. Just wanted to snatch his brother, but the ancient master stood up at this time, and the momentum of his whole body exploded to the extreme.
"Little doll, why do you refute the old man's words!
Immediately afterwards, the overwhelming momentum went straight towards Qin Xiangyan.
Qin Xiangyan was forced by this momentum to take three steps back before he could barely stand firm, but a mouthful of blood suddenly overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, the ancient master didn't have the intention of killing him, otherwise, his momentum alone would be enough to kill Qin Xiangyan. In his eyes, killing such a little doll is no different from killing an ant!
Qin Xiangyan slowly raised his hand, wiped the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, straightened his waist, looked at the ancient master without fear, and said in childish words: "Why? Just because I am his brother! Her business is my business! Here I have to dare to ask you the ancient master, why do you rely on it! Why do you influence the happiness of others! Is it because of your strength? Is it because you are powerful?"
The sudden questioning was absolutely deafening to those present. They all stared incredulously at the presence in the garbage in front of them, and couldn't believe that such words could come out of his mouth.
The ancient master's eyes widened even more, and he looked at the existence in front of him who was as weak as an ant to him. Suddenly, he burst out laughing, I really don't remember how many years, no one dared to say such a question to him in front of him, not even His Majesty the Emperor, he had never questioned him like this, but he didn't expect to be broken by this kid in front of him who was not even as good as an ant.
"Good boy, I really didn't expect you to dare to question Old Man Yu like this, for many years, even His Majesty the Emperor has never questioned me like this, you are a little waste, I really don't know who gave you the courage, do you think that you can protect you with a small family? You must understand that the old man can make your family disappear with a snap of his fingers, and not an inch of grass will grow! You must understand that in this world, everything is based on strength. You are a waste body without the slightest strength, and you are also shouting in front of the old man, you are such a big dog!"
The ancient master got up suddenly, and then stepped forward with lightning speed, grabbing Qin Xiangyan's neck tightly, and was about to be killed on the spot!
"Don't!" Qin Xiangyu suddenly rushed forward from behind his father, and grabbed the ancient master's clothes.
"Don't! I promise you, I promise you the ancient master, I promise you to marry the little prince, please don't hurt Brother Xiangyan, please, you are a dignified elder of the Celestial Empire, there is no need to deal with an insignificant person, please let him go, I will leave with you now." β
Qin Xiangyu looked at Elder Gu with teary eyes, and what he said was heartbreaking, and everyone present couldn't help but be slightly moved, but sighed secretly in his heart.
The ancient master sneered and said: "What a brother and sister have a deep affection, do you think you can save him in this way? He is a small waste body, he dares to question me in public, let alone him, even your patriarch will die!"
But..... The ancient master's voice paused: "No one dares to talk to yourself like this, so easy to let you die, wouldn't it be cheap for you?" Since you want to be strong, I'll give you a chance." β
The ancient master suddenly let go of his palm, looked carefully at the junior in front of him, he was indeed beautiful, his eyes were resolute and bright, his mouth was tightly pursed, and his blue robe was spotless. Raised his head and looked at him stubbornly.
Turning his head, the ancient master walked slowly towards the first seat. As he walked, he said: "You contradict me like this, I shouldn't have forgiven you, but seeing that you are still young but courageous, and you are dedicated to defending your sister, the old man will give you a chance, I heard that your country has a misty forest, one of the nine forbidden places in the Xingyang Continent, I will give you ten days, as long as you can walk into the misty forest and stay in it for ten days, and finally come out alive, I will spare you from death, and your sister's marriage contract can also be dissolved on the spot, how about it, little doll?"
The whole hall looked at this weak figure, some disdainful, some pitying, some gloatingγγγγγγ
The Misty Forest is a natural danger of the Xianglong Empire, shrouded in fog all the year round, it is one of the nine forbidden places in the Xingyang Continent, legend has it that no one dares to enter this Misty Forest within a hundred zhang, no matter how strong the cultivator is, after entering, there must be no return. Once the two super empires of the Emperor and the Emperor of Benevolence sent a Divine Yang and a Divine Star powerhouse to explore, but as a result, the soul mark of the Tianyang powerhouse disappeared and he was recognized as dead. After the Tianxing powerhouse came out, he became an ordinary person, and he became an idiot, and he could only say the words "monster, monster" in his mouth, and decades later, he also died, and since then few people have gone to the Misty Forest.
No one believed that Qin Xiangyan would agree, because to go in was to send him to death, and everyone understood that maybe the ancient master was just to play tricks on the child in front of him and let out the evil anger in his heart.
"Ancient Master, I don't think there's something wrong with this. It was Qin Xiangyan's brother Qin Xiangya who spoke.
Qin Xiangya clenched his fists slightly, and said to the ancient master who came to the head: "My younger brother was born with a weak physique and cannot cultivate, as far as I know, the Misty Forest is a dangerous place, and the cultivators who enter it are all in and out of the place of their younger brother, why don't you let me send someone to explore it instead of my younger brother?"
The ancient master paced his steps, slowly walked in front of Qin Xiangya, and snorted coldly: "You like to be in the limelight, since you like to be in the limelight, why don't you and your brother work together?"
"But the ancient master, my brother really didn't have the slightest force, wouldn't he be sent to death if he went?" Qin Wuya said hurriedly.
"Xiangya! Stand down!". Qin Wuqing sat up from his seat and shouted.
"Father!" Qin Xiangya looked at his father, a little puzzled.
"Stand down, don't forget who you are! There's nothing to do with you here, go back to the barracks!".
Qin Wuqing said without doubt.
"Yes, father!" Qin Xiangya glanced at his father, turned his head and walked out of the hall, passed by Qin Xiangyan, patted Qin Xiangyan on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you are a little reckless." β
Qin Xiangyan glanced at the eldest brother in front of him and didn't speak, Qin Xiangya sighed and exited the hall.
At this time, a figure was full of anxiety, but it was Qin Xiangyu, only to see her shouting loudly: "Brother, don't promise him!" Only she understands this brother's character in her heart, even if there is a glimmer of hope, she must fight for it. Especially for herself, this only sister.
"I promise!"
A young but determined voice sounded, as if speaking with its own soul. That kind of undoubted made all the people present couldn't help but be moved, and no one would have thought that such a person who couldn't cultivate, such a person who seemed weak and didn't have any strength, would dare to go to that place that all cultivators flocked to.
"Brother, don't! Don't promise him! Please! Please!"
Qin Xiangyu shouted heartbreakingly. But she knew in her heart that it was too late, and what her brother promised was really nine hundred cows that would not come back.
She suddenly turned her head, knelt on her knees silently, folded her hands, and said firmly to the ancient master: "Ancient master, I have promised you to go with you now, this person's life and death have nothing to do with me, please take me away now, I don't want to see him again!"
The ancient master turned his head and looked at her quietly, and said slowly: "It's too late, since this little waste has been spoken, just do what you just said, ten days, if you can come out of the misty forest and appear in front of me, everything before is not counted, little prince, let's go!"
After speaking, he didn't look at the crowd and strode forward. Passing by Qin Xiangyan, he paused slightly and said, "You can do it yourself." β
The idiot little prince walked up to him, and like the ancient masters, he smiled stupidly: "Good son for son, good son for son, hehey good son for son"γγγγγγ
Only the rest of the family were left in the hall, and everyone stared at the weak young man in silence. It doesn't seem to have eased up from the atmosphere just now.
Qin Xiangyu cried and walked over with messy steps, hugged Qin Xiangyan and cried: "Brother, why are you doing this, woo...... Why do you do what you know won't work, woo......"
Qin Xiangyan silently raised his trembling hand, patted Qin Xiangyu's head gently, and said gently: "You are my favorite sister!"
Qin Xiangyan slowly raised his head, his eyes passed through the sturdy figure in the first place, and said, "Father, please forgive the child for being bold and disrespectful just now, the child is willing to accept the punishment of the clan rules." Please, father, condemn him!"
Qin Wuqing looked at the little son in front of him, who usually didn't pay much attention, slowly raised his arm, opened his trembling lips and wanted to say something, but finally drooped down.
"Okay, you Qin Xiangyan, as the son of the patriarch, but you ignored the clan rules, forced your way into the meeting hall, and ruined a marriage that was good for my clan. What's even worse is that it almost plunged our people into a place from which they will never recover. Say, "What sin thou shalt thou!"
The four elders at the bottom were dressed in navy blue robes, stood up suddenly, and righteously accused Qin Xiangyan, the chaotic rolling eyes, the sanctimonious expression, made most of the elders present uncomfortable for a while, but no one refuted anything, after all, what the four elders said was true, but everyone turned their eyes to Qin Wuqing, who was the first in the first place, and seemed to be waiting for him to make a final decision
"Fourth brother, you are right, but the so-called everything has a cause and must have an effect, everything will be planned when he comes back, if he can't come back, I will bear all the blameγγγγγγ! Hey, let's talk about it when I come back. You are all scattered, talk to each other, talk to each other, you come with me. β
"Patriarch, this matter can't just be left alone! Although he is your son, but the clan has clan rules, Qin Xiangyan dared to break into the council hall this time, collided with the ancient masters, and almost caused a big disaster! Although there are a large number of ancient masters who do not hold our family accountable, Qin Xiangyan must be punished as he deserves. β
Qin Wuqing looked at the four elders in front of him and slowly spoke: "First, I am still the head of the clan now. Second, if I can't do it at this time, I will resign as the patriarch. Thirdly, do you think that there is a greater punishment for reciprocal speech?'
With that, he turned and walked to the back of the hall. The four elders were speechless for a while, since the patriarch said so, he had nothing to say. Misty Forest, hum, this little waste must have gone and never returned!
Qin Xiangyan silently followed behind his father, everything today came too suddenly for him, although he was so arrogant before, but after all, he was still a child, and he was a little confused and overwhelmed about everything in the future. But after glancing at the sister next to her, everything became firm again. Although the future is full of unknowability, for the sake of the sister in front of him, everything is nothing.
There was an eerie silence along the way, only the footsteps of the three echoed each other, Qin Xiangyu silently grabbed the corner of his brother's clothes, biting his thin lips, there were still undried tears on his beautiful little face, and he lowered his head and walked behind the patriarch with his brother. Now everything is irretrievable, and no matter how many words there are, it pales.
Qin Wuqing suddenly stopped and said indifferently: "You two remember, what you saw today is not allowed to be mentioned to anyone, not even the closest people. β
Qin Xiangyan raised his head and glanced at his father silently, he knew in his heart the consequences of today's impulse to the family, but he had to do it, even if he did it again, he would still say that for the sake of his sister in front of him, he might only be sorry for his father.
The back mountain of the family belongs to a forbidden place, and it is usually strictly forbidden for all disciples in the clan to enter and leave here, and Qin Xiangyan does not know what it is like inside. But he had seen from the book that the general family forbidden land was full of traps, and it was very secretive.
When Qin Xiangyan and his sister walked here, everything he saw in front of him couldn't help but be stunned.
