Chapter Twenty-Four: The Eliminated Man
Following
At the beginning of the glow, the mist filled the sky, and Zhao Qinhe, who had not slept all night, was meditating cross-legged towards the window, silently familiarizing himself with the newly learned Yijin Sutra on the first and second weeks.
Originally, he had already changed his internal strength, and he no longer needed to absorb the purple qi at sunrise for cultivation, but the habit he had formed for a long time still made him choose to practice at this time.
Running on the week, I felt the surging true qi that was different from the past, and my body emerged with an indescribable comfort.
With the operation of the exercises, the Qimen and tricks of the whole body seemed to be opened, and a sense of harmony that seemed to resonate with the heavens, the earth and the universe slowly emanated.
After reaching the extreme, Zhao Qinhe slowly calmed down and regained his true qi, rested for a while, and then planned to ponder the 'Seven Seven Forty-Nine Hand Wind Dancing Willow Sword'.
But before he could finish his first move, suddenly there was a knock on the door in the room.
"Young master, may I ask if you have gotten up. โ
There was a loud knock on the door, presumably because someone hadn't gotten up yet, so as to wake up the people in the house.
Hearing this, Zhao Qinhe frowned, then retracted his moves, tidied up his clothes, and then opened the door.
Seeing him open the door, a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old was looking respectful
"Something?"
Zhao Qinhe glanced at the young man and asked coldly.
"Young master, the miscellaneous hall has come down with an order. โ
With that, the young man took out a token from his bosom and handed it to him with respectful hands.
Zhao Qinhe didn't take the token, but just glanced at it a few times with his eyes and confirmed it.
However, he never worried that this little guy would lie and deceive himself, because this Zhao family is a martial arts family with bloodline first, as long as you have the bloodline of the Zhao family, no matter how far away your kinship is, how low your cultivation is, and how poor your talent is, you are all young masters in this Zhao family.
Like in the novel that Zhao Qinhe read before he crossed over, the young master was suppressed or even murdered by the evil servant, this kind of thing will never happen in the Zhao family, because no matter how high your status as a servant is, how much you are valued, and whose henchman it is, if something happens to the bully, there will only be one end, and you will be directly escorted to the criminal law hall and killed.
Of course, this rule is only valid for the small servants of the Zhao family, such as those elders with foreign surnames and guest qing, who are similar or even higher in status to the children of the Zhao family, so they are not bound by this rule.
After Zhao Qinhe confirmed the authenticity of the token, he nodded and said, "I already know, you go back and report first, I'll wash up and go over." โ
Hearing the reply, the little guy respectfully asked for a gift and left, but he did not return directly to the miscellaneous hall, but walked towards the bamboo building in the distance, obviously his task this time was not only Zhao Qinhe.
Looking at him far away, Zhao Qinhe muttered, "Miscellaneous Hall? It seems that he can't stay for a long time." โ
With that, he turned around and returned to the main building and washed up.
ยทยทยทยท
In an ordinary courtyard, there are thick/majestic pines and cypresses, and the canopies are like canopies, bringing a shade of green.
"Miscellaneous Hall"
Zhao Qinhe stood far away and looked up at the plaque on the gate. The handwriting is already a little mottled, and apparently the plaque has been around for a while.
He didn't stay long, and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he found that there were already many people coming and going in this courtyard, and among them, there were still a few people who were familiar to him.
Along the way, some people have faces like Kaoyan, some have blue faces, some have red eyes, and their expressions are different, but obviously all of them are negative feelings.
"It's time again!"
"Another batch!"
Along the way, the murmurs of some small people around him clearly came into his ears.
His mind moved, and combined with everyone's expressions, coupled with the words of these little guys, he already understood what was happening.
"It seems that it is time for me to leave this Zhao family. โ
Thinking like this, Zhao Qinhe walked into the lobby and was led by a small servant to a counter and sat down.
A gray-haired old man on the counter was filling in something, and when he saw Zhao Qinhe's arrival, he naturally stopped his pen and said directly.
"Where's your token? โ
Hearing this, Zhao Qinhe took out the token issued to him by the Zhao family and handed it to him.
The old man looked through it, handed it back to him, and then opened a book on the counter that looked like an account book, looked through it, and found Zhao Qinhe's information.
After confirming it, he suddenly spit out a sentence coldly: "You also know what to do with you, right?"
Zhao Qinhe didn't make a sound, just nodded.
"Very good, good attitude, crisp enough, then I'll give you a simpler one. โ
The old man glanced at Zhao Qinhe appreciatively, then picked it up on the shelf full of signs behind him, took out a token made of black iron and handed it to him, and at the same time took out a letter covered with sealed fire paint from the counter and handed it to him.
"The details are written in this letter, you go back, see for yourself, the departure time is also on it. โ
"Alright, you can leave. โ
After handing over all this, the old man made a gesture to send off the guest, and a small servant next to him led him out of the lobby, and when he left, a child of the Zhao family was led in by the small servant.
It seems that the Zhao family has decided to give up on me. โ
Zhao Qinhe thought as he walked.
Assignment is an elimination rule of the Zhao family.
Every three years, the Zhao family will recruit a group of children from various branches to enter the Chuangong Hall, and these children will cultivate in the Zhao family for three years, and the Zhao family will provide various cultivation resources. In these three years, a big competition will be held every year, which is considered a kind of assessment, and the elders of the Zhao family will evaluate the performance of each child in the big competition, but if they are evaluated as unqualified for three consecutive years, or do not show their potential, it is a pity that they will be eliminated from the Zhao family's Chuangong Hall and become an ordinary child of the Zhao family.
And all the children of the Zhao family who are about to be eliminated will accept an assignment mission, if the task is completed, then they will be able to continue to stay in the Lanshuang Zhao family, but they will be arranged to take care of the Zhao family's industry in various regions and collect various cultivation resources for the Zhao family. And those who have not completed the task will be directly repatriated, start a family in other places, take root and land, and become a branch of the Lanshuang Zhao family, providing excellent descendants for the Lanshuang Zhao family.
Most of the eliminated children will no longer be able to enter the core range of the Zhao family for the rest of their lives, but there are still exceptions, if they can break through the Dao Qiankun realm before the age of forty, then they will be able to return to the core.
