Chapter 33: The Shangguan Family
Star Dou City is located on a piece of territory in the north of the Elemental Continent, more than 400 kilometers away from the Huayuan. Outside the city, it is surrounded by several large and small counties and villages, and the streets are full of traffic and crowds.
The prosperity of a city is no accident, it is closely related to the ruling ability of the lord and the emperor, and the strength of the city guards. It took several years of accumulation to form such a luxuriant scene.
In the city, the Shangguan clan has dominated the Star Dou for thousands of years, and the foundation of the city king has been passed down from generation to generation.
The emperor who was in charge of Star Dou City at that time was named Shangguan Hongmen, and he took a concubine who was alluring the country and the city, and the concubine was named Jiang Siyu. In the second year of their love, she gave birth to a prince for the king.
Shangguan Hongmen had a very good relationship with Jiang Siyu, and after adding a son to him, he loved him even more.
Hongmen no longer has the intention of accepting concubines, and he only wants to take care of the mother and son all his life and is satisfied. But when his father was on the throne, he promised him a family affair, in order to make friends with a neighboring city.
The neighboring city-state was also a prosperous city called 'Wanfu City'. Due to the young age of Princess Wanfu in the neighboring city at that time, it was not suitable to marry. So when she grows into a hibiscus out of the water, she can marry into Star Dou City as the princess of Star Dou City.
It is said that this princess of Wanfu City is not simple, not only is she delicate and beautiful, bright and moving. And she also has a pair of exquisite jade hands, which can play repertoire that makes people hear endlessly.
In Wanfu City, the noble prince went one after another to pursue this talented and beautiful princess. But the princess of your country already has a marriage contract, so she was politely rejected by the king of Wanfu City.
Shangguan Hongmen's side had no choice but to acquiesce. First, this is what his father intended back then, and his parents must not disobey him. Second, the object he married was not an ordinary person, and it was an opportunity to make friends with Wanfu City, so there was no reason to refuse. When his child was just one year old, he married the princess of Wanfu City, 'Qiu Shuqin'.
Although Qiu Shuqin has a flowery and moon-like face, as the princess of Wanfu City, she has had a cold and arrogant atmosphere since she was a child. In the Star Dou Imperial City, no one dared to provoke this evil star. Shangguan Hongmen, as her husband, behaves and behaves with her everywhere.
Qiu Shuqin is a princess of a country, married to a Shangguan family, and can be called a good match. She has always believed that Jiang Siyu, who started earlier than her, is not qualified to compete with herself, so she competes with each other everywhere in her actions. Seeing that Jiang Siyu thought that the Shangguan family had given birth to a son, she also pestered her husband Shangguan Hongmen for sexual intercourse. Finally, in the second year of marrying the Shangguan family, Jiang Siyu also gave birth to a son for Shangguan Hongmen. Therefore, there are now two princes in Star Dou City, and the eldest prince was born to Jiang Siyu and is named 'Shangguan Baiyan'. The second prince was born to Qiu Shuqin and was named 'Shangguan Glory', so Shangguan Baiyan was two years older than Shangguan Glory.
With the passage of time, the two children gradually grew up, although the two are brothers with the same blood, but the two have never played together at all on weekdays, so there is no relationship, the main reason is Shangguan Rongrong's mother Qiu Shuqin. After so many years, Qiu Shuqin's character has not changed. In addition to targeting Jiang Siyu, she is also indifferent to Shangguan Baiyan, unless Shangguan Hongmen is present, she will be more restrained.
The two children of the Shangguan family are extremely talented in terms of cultivation qualifications. The eldest son, Bai Yan, used the Treasure Activation Stone and was measured to have the attribute of the Heavenly Thunder Element. When a person uses the Treasure Activation Stone to activate his own elemental ability, there will be a probability that the same elemental attribute exists, that is to say, both of Bai Yan's attributes belong to the thunder element. The main element is thunder, and the auxiliary element is also thunder, which is called the heavenly thunder element in the world.
The Heavenly Thunder Element is not the most surprising part, what is surprising is that Bai Yan's elemental affinity has reached a high level of 80, and if such a talent is cultivated, it is very likely that he will reach the 'Sub-Elemental Spirit' realm in the future.
What is a secondary elemental deity? That is, increasing one's elemental affinity cultivation to 90, which is only one step away from the legendary elemental deity.
Elemental deities can also be called children of gods, which can only be born under the convergence of heaven and earth aura. No matter how talented a cultivator is, no matter how hard he cultivates, there is no way to reach the realm of elemental gods, so sub-elemental spirits have become the ultimate goal pursued by all cultivators.
And Bai Yan's younger brother Shangguan Glory is not bad in talent. In the same case, when the Treasure Activation Stone was also used, the Fire Poison Element was measured, and the elemental affinity reached 78. Shangguan Hongmen once set up a banquet for the people of the entire Star Dou City to have a banquet for the people of Star Dou City for a month. During that time, Star Dou City could be described as very lively, and at this time, it was all rumored among neighboring countries.
Although this incident made Shangguan Hongmen happy, there were also things that made him sad. It's just that my two children don't have much contact with each other on weekdays, and when they meet, they don't feel brotherhood between each other at all, but are more cold like strangers. Because of this incident, Shangguan Hongmen talked to them many times, but it did not get better.
Shangguan Baiyan's mother, Jiang Siyu, often taught him to let his younger brother a little bit on weekdays, and to do things like his elder brother. Bai Yan also did what his parents wanted, but every time he got Shangguan Rongrong's cold and arrogant eyes.
Shangguan Rongrong's mother, Qiu Shuqin, educated him on the contrary. As the children grow up, they will definitely face a problem, and that is the succession of the title. Qiu Shuzhen has been instilling a thought in her children on weekdays, that is, ambition.
No matter how she said it, she is also the princess of your country who married from Wanfu City, and she will never allow her child to lose to Jiang Siyu's child!
And Qiu Shuqin's thoughts were imperceptibly inherited to Shangguan Rongrong, so there was such a cold scene of his own brothers.
In fact, Shangguan Baiyan had no intention of earning power with his younger brother, he spent all his mind on cultivation, and he was particularly interested in those cultivation-related books on weekdays.
Time flies, time flies. In the blink of an eye, Shangguan Baiyan was 22 years old.
This year, the name Shangguan Baiyan can be said to be popular all over the entire Star Dou City. Inside and outside the city, no one knows, no one knows. Because Shangguan Bai Yan relied on his own talent and the resources of Star Dou Imperial City, he directly stepped into the threshold of the Archmage from a 5th rank Great Cultivator, becoming the youngest Archmage in the history of Star Dou City!
To say that the happiest person, in addition to Bai Yan himself, is his parents. Shangguan Hongmen invited the best forging master in Star Dou City, and spent a lot of money to collect some rare materials, intending to create a set of divine weapons for his Bai Yan child as a reward.
Some people are happy and some are worried, Shangguan Rongrong's mother and son are very jealous when they see it, but they have no other way. After this incident, Shangguan Hongmen must have attached more importance to Bai Yan.
After Shangguan Baiyan arrived at the realm of the Great Mage, he did not relax his cultivation every day, and practiced and read books as usual. And in these beautiful years, he met the girl who made him the most excited.
