As the most mysterious family in the Blue City, the history of Field dates back almost 10,000 years. An ancient family that inherits the art of alchemy, and relies on selling pills to maintain the livelihood of the entire family. The current leader of the family is Zixiu's great-grandfather, Komon St. Field, also known as the old ancestor, a life martial soul, one of the few soul-level powerhouses in Azure City.

【Castle Field】The night shrouds the vast forest, through this lush forest, through the dense branches, you can see that surrounded by many thorns and roses, stands an ancient castle, the castle seems to be a long time ago, the high gray city wall is covered with dark green vines, and some even get into the window, revealing a bit of gloomy.

The round towers, narrow windows, semicircular arches, low cupolas, door frames raised from the floors, columns and vaults of various shapes achieve a solid and heavy, balanced and stable aesthetic effect, and the narrow windows form a strong contrast with the vast space inside, making the interior of the castle dim and giving people a sense of mystery and darkness.

Zixiu rode in a speeding carriage and walked through the rickety ropeway. This rusty iron ropeway is the only way to the outside world from Fort St. Field. Outside the ropeway, there will be a few fierce pines that have gone through vicissitudes of life, clinging to the stone wall, forming a strange and arrogant and dangerous scenery.

I am in such a hurry to return to Fort Field because my ancestor has returned, and St. Field-Common went to Phoenix a year ago, and there must be a lot of important things to arrange when he comes back this time. Kemeng Ancestor, who can be regarded as an ancestor in the true sense, is close to a thousand years old, a martial soul powerhouse, and the only peak martial soul in Blue Heart City.

"Third Prince, the old ancestor has been waiting for you for a long time!" said the old butler of St. Field, who took the carriage at the entrance of the ropeway.

jumped out of the carriage and smiled indifferently: "I know, there is a little delay on the road." ”

Then, under the leadership of the old butler, walk along the steep and gloomy plank road towards the ancient castle. The castle at night, as if everything has been revived from silence, ornate candlesticks, flickering candles, warm fireplaces, silver glittering cutlery.

It is a solemn and serious matter for the head of the family to hold a meeting of the whole family, which is usually carried out in the secret room of the ancient castle, and arranges some important matters related to the survival of the family's lifeline. The twenty-square-square underground secret room is brightly lit, magnificent, and extraordinary.

He glanced left and right, then looked at the old immortal-like ancestor, and thought, 'It's over, it's the last one.'" In addition to the old ancestor, two elder brothers, nine aunts, seven uncles, and more than a dozen people from the ancestors have already arrived.

"Ancestor, I'm late!" he said with an embarrassed smile.

Ke Meng, with shining silver-white hair, has a solemn demeanor, his eye sockets are deep-set, and his deep gaze is full of sharp energy. "Xiao Xiu, I have the impression that this is not the first time you have been late?"

"Ancestor, Weiran Academy is in the northwest corner of the city, we are in the southeast corner, it is understandable to be a little late, Xiu, you come and sit down with your aunt." Wearing a red brocade robe, Ah Jiu said with a smile.

It was the ninth aunt who took care of him the most, and pulled him to his side and sat down. Ah Jiu's full name is St. Feld Tianxiang, the youngest of many aunts, he is only five or six years old, and he is also a divine cultivator of the life department, the early martial emperor.

"Third brother, are you playing too much because you are with the city lord's youngest daughter?" Ziyun, the second brother who likes to joke and tease him, said with a malicious laugh.

"Women are goblins, especially the one you fall in love with, third brother, remember this sentence of the eldest brother. The eldest brother Zizhao also echoed a sentence, and Xiu's sister-in-law listened to this sentence squarely, and gave him a fierce look mercilessly.

As soon as you said a word, I said two words, because of the appearance of Xiu, the very serious atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and it became much more relaxed and harmonious.

"Alright, now that we're all here, I'll announce a few things of particular importance. St. Feld Comon's expression froze instantly, and without hesitation, he said solemnly: "The first thing is that the two brothers, Zizhao and Ziyun, want to join the regular army of Azure City, go to the frontier of the empire to participate in the war, and receive the experience of blood and fire. ”

He glanced at everyone's slightly stunned expressions, and then continued: "The second thing, the inventory of the Life-Continuation Pill in the ancient castle is running out, so the several elders who are in charge of the collection of the best medicinal materials must complete the collection of the medicine within two months, and they must not delay the opening and refining of the Life-Continuing Pill. And the third thing, a month later at the wine party, we have to hold an engagement ceremony for Xiu. ”

As soon as the ancestor's words fell, the lobby immediately became noisy, chattering endlessly.

"Ancestor, when did you let us join the expeditionary corps and go to the frontier?" Zizhao had no complaints about such an arrangement, and the elders all came over like this, and the only thing that was reluctant was his newly married wife and the soon-to-be-born child.

"When your third brother decides to get married, you can leave. Common's quiet answer was short and powerful.

Ah Jiu seemed to be more interested in Zixiu's marriage, and asked with a smile: "Old Ancestor, can you reveal in advance who the girl who wants to marry the city lord is, is it the youngest daughter of the city lord, Lan Xi?"

The relationship between the St. Field family and the Lan family has always been very good, as the golden boy and girl, the two of them are a match made in heaven, and it should be a matter of time before they get engaged and become married.

Ke Meng shook his head very unexpectedly and said: "This time I went to Phoenix City just to repair the matter of marriage, so the person who wants to be married to Xiu Ding is not from our Azure City, she is from Phoenix City." ”

The engagement was so sudden, Xiu's mood was already turbulent, but now what made him cry and laugh was that the person who was going to be engaged to him would actually have someone else.

No matter who she would be, for him, the appearance of this person was like a disaster that could not be avoided. His eyes glazed over, staring at the flickering candlelight in front of him, the only light in front of him seemed to be unsettling at any moment.

At this time, Ah Jiu, who watched him grow up since he was a child, knew best the relationship between him and Lan Xi, and no one thought of this accident. "Xiu, why don't you say something?" Ah Jiu asked with concern as he looked at his dejected expression.

"There's nothing to say, the ancestor's decision must have his reasons. Xiu calmly smiled bitterly and said lightly. The ancestor is the head of the family, his decision must have been carefully considered, and nothing in the family can change his will.

The eldest brother Zizhao did not have too many objections to his distance from his hometown and the expedition to the Biansai, about the arrangement of the third brother, he was a little puzzled and said: "Old ancestor, you should also know that the third brother and the youngest daughter of the city lord have been in love for a long time, besides, if the Lan family and our St. Field can form this marriage, it will also be of great benefit to us, I don't understand, who else will be more suitable than Miss Lan Xi?"

"Needless to say," Ke Meng waved his hand and interrupted directly: "Let Xiu choose another girl, not only offended the city lord Lan Tingxu, but also offended their Lan family. ”

He looked at Xiu with a blank look and said meaningfully: "As for why you did this, everything is for your future." If you want to make a difference, you have to pay a lot more than ordinary people, and since you have chosen the destruction system, there are not many other things you can choose, including your future partner!"

As soon as the ancestor spoke, everyone fell silent and stopped talking. In this world, the destruction of divine cultivation is like a rare treasure, and there is a metaphor that says that destruction is actually the destiny of the law of all things.

"Do you mean that the girl who is going to marry Zi Xiu can influence his path of spiritual cultivation?" Ah Jiu seemed to understand something, and asked softly.

"Lanxi is a good girl, and she's just a good girl!"

Things seem to be pretty clear. Maybe that girl is not better than Lan Xi in all aspects, but for some reason, she can influence the fate of a Divine Cultivator of Destruction.

Tonight is going to be a long, sleepless night for him.
