Shen Ling heard the two of them say that the patriarch summoned him and was in a trance for a while. He is just a servant, and he has just been promoted to the second lady's sparring partner. How could He De actually let the patriarch of the day summon him...

Shen Ling looked at his grandfather and found that his grandfather was also confused. I couldn't help but be puzzled, but it was useless to think about it now, so I had to follow the two guards to meet the patriarch. Shen Ling followed the two guards towards the Yuanqing Pavilion, where the patriarch lived in the center of the Li clan, and gradually found that both the servants and the people of the Li clan were looking at each other kindly. This made Shen Ling, who was not less eyed on weekdays, quite uncomfortable for a while.

I walked for half an hour before I walked to the door of Yuanqing Pavilion. The two nurses said to Shen Ling with envy: "You can go in by yourself, the two of us are not qualified to enter." After saying that, the two turned around and left without looking back.

Shen Ling looked at the buildings and decorations around him and was dazzled, "Compared to the servant quarters here... No, there's no comparison. Shen Ling thought in his heart.

Shen Ling walked up the steps and knocked on the copper ring on the crimson door, and the door opened after a while. Shen Ling looked at the person who opened the door and was stunned. It turned out to be Li Qian'er who opened the door herself, and Li Qian'er looked at Shen Ling, who was stunned, and was also amused.

Shen Ling looked at Li Qian'er, who was laughing, and hurriedly came back to her senses. "Sister Qian'er. ”

Li Qian'er couldn't help but blush when she found that Shen Ling had been staring at her. "Come with me, father has something to ask you. Li Qian'er didn't say much, and led Shen Ling through the hall, bypassing a layer of stone mountains and walking through a peach blossom forest. It finally stopped.

The more Shen Ling walked, the more he felt that the scenery around him was really beautiful, and he couldn't help but feel relaxed, and thought to himself: If he can cultivate here, then he will definitely be calm, and his cultivation speed can be improved a lot.

Seeing Li Qian'er stop, she suddenly found that there was a bamboo house in front of her that was mostly made of bamboo. "Father is waiting for you inside, and I won't go in. After Li Qian'er finished speaking, she walked away with light steps.

Shen Ling slowly approached the bamboo house, thinking that the patriarch was inside, he knocked on the door carefully. "Come in. Shen Ling heard Li Yuanqing's voice and gently pushed the door open and walked in, and a smell of books came to his face.

The first thing that catches your eye when you walk into the house is the rows of bookshelves, which are full of bamboo slips and paper books. Looking inside, there is a solid wood desk that is one zhang long and three feet wide. There are only two bamboo chairs next to the table. There was no one on one of them, and the other was sitting on Li Yuanqing.

Shen Ling hurriedly bowed, "Shen Ling has seen the patriarch. Li Yuan said lightly: "Sit down." Shen Ling heard that the patriarch asked him to sit down, so he sat down slowly. But the butt is only on the side, and the waist is straighter.

Li Yuanqing looked at Shen Ling, who was sitting precariously, and suddenly slapped his palm on the wooden table without warning, and the wooden table suddenly cracked a crack. With a gloomy face, he said to Shen Ling: "Say, is it the Thunder Clan or the Chen Clan who sent you, do you still think you can hide it from me Li Yuanqing?"

Shen Ling was shocked! Hurriedly explained: "Patriarch, Shen Ling has been growing up in the Li clan since he was picked up by his grandfather at the age of three, even if he goes out to fetch water on weekdays, he has never stepped out of the range of the Li clan, what the patriarch said Shen Ling is really wronged, Shen Ling has a deep affection for the Li clan, and he will never betray the Li clan like this." Shen Ling would never be the kind of person who became rich by betrayal! ”

Li Yuanqing heard Shen Ling say this, coupled with his intuition about Shen Ling in his heart, and the last trace of doubt was also eliminated. Immediately, his face changed, and he comforted Shen Ling with a smile and said, "Straighten up, it seems that I didn't see the wrong person, and what I said just now is the last test for you." ”

Shen Ling wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, and couldn't help but be afraid that if he showed a trace of abnormality just now, he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of this bamboo house alive. Fortunately, he had a clear conscience and behaved normally, so he didn't let Li Yuanqing suspect it.

Li Yuanqing looked at Shen Ling, whose face was gradually getting better, and flicked his fingers, and a small octagonal box flew gently towards Shen Ling. Shen Ling hurriedly caught it. As soon as he was about to open it, he heard Li Yuanqing say: "Don't be in a hurry to open it first, this is the true qi dispersion you deserve, and it is perfect to take it in your current realm." However, it is best to open this elixir before taking it, and every time this true qi is opened, some true qi will be lost. Only if you store it in this black jade box will it not be lost, so I will simply give it to you. ”

Shen Ling heard Li Yuanqing's words, it must be that the box containing the elixir was also a treasure, and he hurriedly thanked the patriarch. Hold the black jade box in your arms.

Li Yuanqing also ignored Shen Ling, walked to the window and looked at the beautiful peach blossom forest outside, but sighed inadvertently. He didn't look at Shen Ling and said, "Do you know why I came to you." Shen Ling hurriedly replied: I don't know.

Li Yuanqing continued: "The Li clan has been established for more than two hundred years, but the former first family of Yancheng has become one of the five major families since I don't know when, and that's it, but the number of moths in the clan is increasing day by day, they don't want to make progress, and they are lazy to cultivate, and this kind of person has now affected a large part of the Li family." Yesterday I said on the stage that there are very few talented young people of the Li nationality, but that is more to say. In my opinion, only Qian'er can be called amazing in cultivation, and if young people don't think about cultivating, the Li clan will be in danger. ”

After hearing this, Shen Ling couldn't help but admire Li Yuanqing's foresight, and after thinking about it, he asked suspiciously: "I don't know why the patriarch told me so much, my strength is low, and my identity is not enough, I don't know what the patriarch needs me to do?"

Li Yuanqing's eyes flashed, and he said without hesitation: "I need you to become stronger, and you must become stronger soon!" Li Yuanqing saw the doubt in Shen Ling's eyes and explained: "You were originally a servant of the Li family, but this Li clan competition has changed your fate, making the children of the Li clan ashamed, and there are already many young people who have cultivated harder than usual." But that's not enough, I want you to become stronger, and then get more rewards to motivate them. Change that. I found that at least two or more of the five major families saw the fatigue of my Li clan now, some of the Li caravans have been robbed by masked men recently, I suspect that they did it, otherwise I would not have said that in front of them at the Li Clan's big competition, but I guess even then they will not be able to endure it for long. So you have to get stronger faster, and it doesn't hurt you. How do you dare to take it?"

Shen Ling thought about it secretly, I am afraid that this matter is not as good as the patriarch said, it is estimated that if his cultivation stops for a month or two, everything he has obtained will be taken back, and even the situation will be worse than that of a servant.

But the conditions given by Li Yuanqing are extremely tempting, the master's injury is estimated to require countless heavenly treasures to heal, if he can really enjoy the resources of the Li family, then the master can also get better faster. "Take a gamble!" Shen Ling replied calmly: "I'll take it!"

Li Yuanqing immediately smiled, "In that case, you can practice with Qian'er for one day every seven days, and practice well the rest of the time." I will give you another token, which will give you the right to be a deacon, and will save you some trouble. If there is anything, you can talk to Qian'er directly. I hope you don't live up to my expectations. ”

Shen Ling was also overjoyed after hearing this, he didn't expect the patriarch to be so good to him, and even gave him the deacon order. But suddenly a very serious problem popped up in my mind. He didn't feel unhappy, so he asked again: "Patriarch, can you tell me that there are so many people in the direct line of the Li family, why did you choose me for such a good thing, just because my performance in the Li family competition is not enough for you to take me in such a fancy to me, and how do you know that I can take on this important responsibility?"

Li Yuanqing smiled helplessly: "I was still asked by you, or not, I will tell you today, in fact, in addition to my identity as a martial artist, I am also a first-class fortune tester, when I was young, I traveled to the mainland and met an old man, he said that he had a fate with me, so he taught me seven days of fortune measurement." Later, I realized how powerful the old gentleman was, and in just seven days, I became a first-class fortune teller. Although the fortune tester does not improve the combat power of the martial artist much, this recognition of people is much stronger than that of ordinary people. There are many people like you who are lower than me, and I can vaguely feel his future achievements when I calculate them, but you can't calculate them at all. The fortune teller's instincts and the great performance of Dabi made me choose you!"

At this moment, Shen Ling's hanging heart finally let go, but this Li Yuanqing said again: "Little guy, I told you about my adventure, can you share your adventure." Shen Ling was a little flustered when he heard Li Yuanqing say this, and he didn't say anything for a while.

Li Yuanqing wanted to make fun of Shen Ling, but he was not angry, "Okay, don't be nervous, don't say it if you don't say it, the head of my family doesn't bother to rob you of your opportunity." Everything I say to you today must be said with caution. Do you understand?" Shen Ling hurriedly nodded yes.

"Okay, if there's nothing to do, just step down, go back and practice well, as long as you cultivate quickly, I can reward you with this exercise, martial arts, and elixir!" Li Yuanqing said with encouragement in his eyes.

Shen Ling said goodbye to Li Yuanqing, and just walked to the door, only to hear Li Yuanqing say jokingly again: "If you can surpass me when you can, it is not impossible to hand over Qian'er to you." ”
