At the bottom right of the patriarch is the Lord of the Iron Wood Cliff, Si Ming Zetian.

Over the years, at every family meeting, he sat in that prominent position, and no one had the courage to question it.

At the beginning, the first lord of Ironwood Cliff was expelled by the clan and exiled because he did not have the talent of a mage.

After several rounds, he went to the Ironwood Cliff, where he died his old age.

In the nearly 1,000 years since, there have been several gifted mages in the Iron Wood Cliffs.

Because their talents were too ordinary and had little potential, they were never recognized by the clan, and were even deprived of their surnames for a time.

Ironwood Cliff has been wandering on the edge of the Underworld and Mage lineages, forgotten in the corners, uncared for.

Until the appearance of Si Mingzetian.

His talent was quite ordinary, and Tiemuya did not announce the fact that he was a mage to the public, so as not to be ridiculed.

Therefore, when he was eleven years old, he did not receive a summons from the Academy.

That year, he left Ironwood Cliff and wandered the world alone.

Later, this wandering mage with ordinary talent gained followers......

A hundred years later, he became a high-ranking mage, which attracted the attention of the Academy and the Seven Great Families.

At that time, the industry of Ironwood Cliff had quietly expanded to the snow.

The Iron Lord was a maverick and refused the Clan's invitation.

His three children were born one after another, and their natural potential was better than the other, outstanding, and shocking the world.

Later, it was Si Mingqin who was really born.

Under the circumstance of the Academy Palace, Tiemu Cliff returned to the Si Ming clan and rebuilt with the clan.

Now, even without Si Mingqin Zhen, the influence of this lord who has experienced strong winds and waves in the Si Ming clan will not be lost to anyone here.

In terms of cultivation alone, there are few people in the Si Ming clan who can compete with him.

The maids and servants all stopped outside the main hall.

The main hall is bright and spacious, solemn and depressing.

Si Mingqin really stepped forward and walked by under the gaze of many elders he had rarely met, lifting his weight lightly and not staring at him.

Tonight, these family elders can still see him here, they are qualified to sit with him on an equal footing, and they can look at him calmly.

On other days, they could only look up at the boy from afar.

In some cases, they are also required to bow to him.

Mu Liu and Si Mingqin walked side by side, which made some people feel unhappy.

Except for Si Mingzetian, they were all seeing Mu Liu for the first time, and they had all heard that the Nine Elephants had chosen him.

So some people couldn't help but want to probe his bottom and secretly release their divine sense to get closer.

but they were not allowed to enter.

Si Ming Daohua brought the two brothers to the patriarch's seat, bent down to salute, and sat down on the left side.

"My grandson and my brother-in-law have seen my uncle. Si Mingqin really nodded to the patriarch, then turned to face Si Mingzetian, and said with a smile: "I've seen grandpa." ”

Mu Liu noticed that this cold-faced lord had a trembling look on his face when he heard Si Mingqin's real call.

The contradiction between Si Mingqin Zhen and the lord has been a long time, and it is a taboo topic in Tiemu Cliff, and it is so secretive that no one wants to mention it.

Si Mingqin really never said it.

After Mu Liu is sensible, he naturally will not reveal his scars.

However, some eyebrows can be guessed.

can make Si Mingqin really angry for so many years, it is very likely to have something to do with his mother.

Facing Si Mingqin's really smiling greeting, the lord's expression seemed to be a little softer, and he nodded.

Mu Liu didn't speak, but only followed Si Mingqin Zhen to bend down and salute the two old men.

In such a depressing occasion, he felt that it was safer to be quiet.

The point is, he doesn't know these people well.

However, there were still many eyes on him, which made him very uncomfortable.

The patriarch was dying, his face stiff, but he was still conscious.

He beckoned slowly, motioning for Mu Liu and Si Mingqin Zhen to sit next to him.

If it weren't for the fact that his face was gray and too penetrating, Mu Liu felt that he should be an old man with a charitable face.

Mu Liu stiffened his head and raised his right foot, but found that Si Mingqin was really standing in place and did not move.

So he put his right foot back again.

The whole hall was quieter, and no sound could be heard.

Si Mingqin Zhen turned to face the elders and said aloud, "I got the news that someone is going to kill me, and he is going to do it in Rift Valley City. ”

There was an uproar.

Even Si Mingzetian was moved.

The high-ranking members of the Si Ming clan looked at each other one by one.

But no one doubted whether the news that Si Mingqin really got was true.

Because he is Si Mingqinzhen.

The patriarch waved his hand.

The entire hall immediately fell silent.

Mu Liu didn't quite understand Si Mingqin's intention to do this.

If there is someone within the Si Ming clan who collaborates with the enemy, isn't this a snake and a snake?

Si Mingqin Zhen said again: "Before coming in, Mu Liu and I went around the dungeon. There were suspicious people, but no suspicious signs were found. ”

Hearing this, almost everyone silently breathed a sigh of relief.

"I would like to say that the Underworld is currently in a great crisis. If they can kill me, they can kill everyone here. ”

Then Si Mingqin Zhen turned around, faced the patriarch, and said, "Grandson wants to go to Fengtian Mansion to have a look." ”

Fengtian Mansion is in charge of the Rift Valley City, in addition to the clan mansion, finance, public security, civil affairs and other matters.

The Department of Internal Archives is the important place where all kinds of archives are stored in Fengtianfu.

"Accurate!"

The patriarch used the last strength of his life, patted the armrest, and said the word.

Sonorous and powerful!

The sound echoed in the main hall, deafening.

Before he could settle down, the patriarch fell back into his seat, one step closer to death.

Subsequently, Si Mingqin really disappeared in front of people with Mu Liu.

Si Ming Zetian turned his head and glanced at the surrounding clansmen with the same surname, stood up, saluted the patriarch, left his seat, and walked out of the main hall in front of everyone.

As soon as they left, the entire hall fell into a dead silence.

......

......

After revealing their identities and intentions, the officials and servants on duty in the Internal Archives Division withdrew on their own.

A large inner hall is wider than the hall that has just left, but there are only two people, Mu Liu and Si Mingqin Zhen.

It houses the Rift City's hundreds of years of personnel and financial records.

Si Mingqin really wanted to find the fine needle that was thrown into it from this sea.

It would be more accurate to say that to find the trajectory of these fine needles in the sea.

Looking at Si Mingqin Zhen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground motionless, Mu Liu felt that it was useless to ask him to refine soul incense.

When he had nothing to do, he wandered around in the dense elevated room full of documents and files, jumping up and down, looking around, singing the people of the highlands, and dancing the dances often rehearsed by the women of the Qingtan Courtyard, entertaining himself alone.

At first, I saw some strange things recorded in the file, and I thought it was a little interesting, so I sat down and looked at it for a while.

But it didn't take long for him to stop watching.

After all, it is only an archival record, and the content is dry, not as colorful and colorful as in dramatic novels.

Wandering around in the Inner Tibetan Division, I can't help but think of the little furball.

I thought to myself, if I had known that I was coming to such a ghost place, I would have brought the little furball with me.

In the end, I was really bored, and I happened to be a little sleepy, so I randomly chose a place to lie down and quickly fell asleep.
