Chapter 20: The Snow Family

The three of them soon arrived in front of the group of houses and pavilions, and several teenagers who were playing saw them, hurriedly ran up, affectionately called the "big brother" in the snowy region, and circled around him. The snow region did not tire of sending them away one by one.

After that, several people wandered around the pavilion of the house, and after walking for a while, Snowy stopped in front of the door of a house that was obviously much larger than the others, and after tidying up his clothes a little, he walked in. Behind him, Chu Mengxue jumped and laughed and followed in. The last one to enter was Ye Xiaotian, who was full of shock. I didn't feel it when I stood outside before, but after I walked in and looked at it, I felt that this Snow City was really magnificent and vast, almost as big as tens of thousands of Purple Cloud Dwellings.

"Ha, grandpa, the eldest lady is back!"

"Well, I saw it...... Hey, Master Xue is back too!"

Before he could fully enter the door, Ye Xiaotian heard two voices, there seemed to be someone in this hall! Sure enough, after Ye Xiaotian stepped into the hall, he saw that there were indeed people in the hall, and there was more than one, there were more than a dozen people.

Among them, an old man with white hair and white beard is the most imposing and the most eye-catching. He was sitting in a mahogany chair for entertaining guests, holding a blue and white teacup in his hand, and was drinking lightly. The words that were a little old but still full of vitality just now were most likely from him.

Beside the old man, there was a girl in blue, the girl's age seemed to be a little older than Chu Mengxue, and she looked like she should be thirteen or fourteen years old. However, whether it is her appearance or temperament, she is not as good as Chu Mengxue and Ye Shi'er. It's a lot stronger than the other sisters of Ziyunju. At this time, her eyes were all on Chu Mengxue, and occasionally glanced at Ye Xiaotian behind Chu Mengxue, with a hint of doubt.

Opposite the old man, there was a middle-aged man who looked like a butler, and there was also a cup of tea on the coffee table next to him, but he didn't drink it. After seeing the snow area, he immediately stood up, honored Master Xue, and then said goodbye and retreated through the side door.

Except for these three impressive people, the rest of the faces were inconsequential people, three maids and three servants, and they also withdrew from the hall one after another at the signal of the snowy region.

After these people withdrew, the entire hall suddenly became extremely empty again, and a sense of tension suddenly hit Ye Xiaotian's heart, this was the first time he had seen such a luxurious hall, in Ziyunju before, it was all wooden tables and chairs made by those big brothers and sisters themselves, and this time he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw these luxurious furniture furnishings.

However, there was something that made him even more panicked. Perhaps it was because he discovered his new face, the white-haired old man suddenly looked at him, and asked Xue Yu, who had already sat down peacefully, "Young Master Xue, could this young man be your amazingly talented younger brother, Second Young Master Xue Yi?"

Xue Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "Li Bo said that he was joking, Xiao Yi is now learning the cultivation method from his father, and he is not following his little nephew!"

"Huh, who is this boy?"

"Don't hide it from Uncle Li, this little brother was met by chance by the little nephew on the road, and when he saw that he was destined for him, he brought him back, and he was going to take him to the East China Sea in a few days!"

"Oh, that's right, but I think he's qualified......"

"Uncle Li, Penglai's apprenticeship is different from Kyushu, it looks at the fairy fate, and the qualification is secondary!"

"Oh, that's it, it seems that this young man is blessed!" The white-haired old man smiled faintly, and did not continue to pursue Ye Xiaotian, in his opinion, Ye Xiaotian was just an ordinary passer-by on his life, his qualifications were mediocre, and he didn't need to pay attention at all. However, when Ye Xiaotian heard this, he suddenly became stunned, "Penglai, didn't you say that you want to take me back to the Heavenly Sword Gate, why are you going to Penglai again?"

Just as he was in doubt, a soft voice suddenly came from his ear, "Little brother, your identity is more sensitive, so I took it upon myself to help you hide from this old-timer, please don't misunderstand, don't worry, after tonight, I will definitely send you back to the Heavenly Sword Gate!" Ye Xiaotian followed the sound and swept up, but saw that several people in the room had not spoken, but the voice was constantly coming into his ears, "This is the ......" He looked at the young man in white in surprise, because according to the meaning of these words, it seemed that the young man in white was talking to him. It's just that he was surprised that the young man in white was able to hear his voice into his ears even though he didn't open his mouth. Fortunately, some time ago, he also saw all kinds of magical powers of the "black shadow", and when he was surprised, he quickly calmed down. He continued to stay quietly, but his eyes were fixed on the white-haired old man.

He found that the old man didn't seem to notice that the young man in white was talking to him, and he still had a calm face, which made him feel strange, not that even if the strength was high, even if he couldn't break the divine power of a cultivator with a lower strength than himself, but he found that it should be no problem, but now the old man didn't realize it! Could it be that the strength of this young man in white was even stronger than this seemingly unfathomable old man? Ye Xiaotian was suspicious again.

Moreover, his identity as a registered disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect should not be sensitive, as a famous and decent family, the reputation of the Heavenly Sword Sect on the Kyushu Continent is very good, unless, it is those demons and evil ways that they will be disgusted by the three words "Heavenly Sword Gate". Could it be that this old man could be a member of the Demon Sect What is Chu Mengxue's identity, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but look at Chu Mengxue who was chatting happily with the girl in blue over there. Coincidentally, at this time, Chu Mengxue also happened to look in his direction, the two glanced at each other inadvertently, Chu Mengxue "snorted" and immediately turned his head, and Ye Xiaotian immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at it again. I also broke off those meaningless conjectures in my heart.

"Young Master Xue, just now Steward Xu said that you went to the 100,000 Mountains for something, why did you come back after only a while, and ......" At this time, the white-haired old man spoke again, asked his doubts, and glanced in the direction of Chu Mengxue and the girl in blue. The implication can be imagined.

"Don't hide it from Uncle Li, the little nephew did go out to have something to do just now, but he was only halfway ......" At that moment, Xueyu told all the reasons why he returned so early, and also said that Chu Mengxue successfully found the Blue Heart Grass! But he didn't tell him about meeting Ye Xiaotian on the grassland, he only said that he met it in Blackwater City, and he brought it back when he saw that there was a fairy fate. The old man did not have any doubts about this, and Chu Mengxue opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but after looking at the snowy region, she finally endured it and didn't say anything.

"Xiaolan, what did Grandpa tell you last time, have you forgotten it?" After knowing the reason from the snowy region, the old man immediately straightened his face and glared at the blue-clothed girl, with a hint of anger in his tone.

"Grandpa's order, Xiaolan doesn't dare to forget!" The girl in blue hurriedly lowered her body and replied in a trembling voice.

"Hmph, since you haven't forgotten, then you should know how to do it!" the old man looked solemn, stood up, and paced in front of the girl in blue.

"This ......"

"Hmph, do you want me to say it? Not to mention that you took the eldest lady to a dangerous place like the Xinghai Grassland. You even dare to leave the eldest lady's side without permission, ignoring the eldest lady's safety! It seems that you should go to the white bone forest to experience it, stay by the eldest lady's side, sooner or later you will hurt the eldest lady!"

"I ...... Grandpa, Xiao Lan knows that she is wrong, and she also asks Grandpa not to let Xiao Lan go to the White Bone Forest!" Ye Xiaotian noticed that when the old man said the three words "White Bone Forest", the body of the girl in blue suddenly trembled violently a few times, and even her voice was full of fear. That "White Bone Forest" is such a terrifying place?

He couldn't help but look at the old man again, and from their conversation, he could hear that the girl in blue seemed to be the granddaughter of the old man, and Chu Mengxue seemed to be the young lady of the human family that the old man served. It's just that he didn't expect that this old man would disregard his granddaughter's life for the safety of his master, and the White Bone Forest is undoubtedly a place that can kill people, maybe more than that, so the girl in blue will show such fear when she hears these three words.

He remembered the previous transmission in the snowy region, could it be that this old man was really a certain demon cult figure, otherwise, how could he be so cruel and ruthless. But if he was a member of the Demon Sect, wouldn't Chu Mengxue be ......

While she was thinking wildly, at this time, Chu Mengxue, who had not had time to interject a sentence, finally seized the opportunity, and then she said to the girl in blue: "Yes, Grandpa Li, the White Bone Forest is such a dangerous place, you don't want Sister Xiaolan to go! What's more, this matter is all my opinion, I forced Sister Xiaolan to go to the Xinghai Grassland with me, and I also asked her to trouble Brother Xueyu! So, if you want to punish me, you can punish me, it has nothing to do with Sister Xiaolan!"

"Alas, eldest lady, why are you getting more and more bold, you dare to stay there alone in such a dangerous place as the Xinghai Grassland, if there is a case, the old man can't afford it!", the old man looked at Chu Mengxue dotingly, and admonished bitterly. But he didn't mention the punishment of the girl in blue.

"Is there one?Isn't the Xinghai Grassland the territory of my brother's family in the Snow Domain?, how can it be dangerous?" Chu Mengxue's small face revealed puzzlement.

The old man's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Miss, you may not know yet, the 'Dance of the Demon God' is about to start once every two hundred years, and now many evil cultivators and scattered cultivators, including some powerful cultivators, have walked out of the 100,000 mountains and are coming in the direction of Blackwater City. If they find out the figure of the eldest lady, they don't care which family the Xinghai Grassland belongs to. At that time, the eldest lady will be more than lucky. So this morning, after hearing that you weren't in Syracuse, do you know how worried I was?"

"Ah, it's so dangerous!" Chu Mengxue was stunned, but then said: "Grandpa Li, this matter is also my opinion, Sister Xiaolan is my personal maid, naturally you can't go against my will, so ah, if you want to punish me, you can only punish me, Sister Xiaolan is not wrong!"

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Miss, you are still young, and you should be a little playful, besides, you are a daughter, how dare the old man punish you?

Chu Mengxue pursed her lips and was about to say something more, when suddenly, a voice came from the back hall, "Brother Li, how can you be more serious with a little girl, this is not like your style at all!" He looks like he is about forty, with thin eyebrows and square face, his eyes are bright, and there is an elegant attitude between his eyebrows. Behind the scribe was Steward Xu, who had just left, and at this time, he was following with a respectful face. In addition, beside the scribe, a young man of eleven or twelve years old slowly walked in.

There was an evil aura between the young man's eyebrows, but he was innocent and naughty. As soon as he entered the house, he first noticed the snowy land who had stood up to greet the middle-aged scribe, and it was obvious that his expression was filled with joy. Then he looked at Chu Mengxue on the other side, coincidentally, Chu Mengxue also happened to look at him, and both of them glared at each other fiercely, it seems that the "enmity" between this young man and Chu Mengxue should not be shallow! As for Ye Xiaotian, he was gorgeously ignored.

After walking for a while, the young man whispered a few words to the middle-aged scribe, and after the middle-aged scribe nodded, his face immediately lit up, and he ran towards the place where the snow was and stopped in front of the snowy region. Snowy Domain stretched out a hand and stroked his head, his eyes revealing a kind of doting and love. And also...... Reluctantly!

"Master Xue, you can joke about this, the stinky girl is not sensible, I just blamed her just now!" At the same time, the old man reacted after a short pause, he stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"Haha, Brother Li, why are you so angry? It can't be that I snubbed Brother Li and made Brother Li angry!"

"Where, but I'm here to accompany the sect master of my family, because the sect has been busy recently, he couldn't come to visit the Xue family master in person, and I hope the Xue family master will forgive me!"

"Haha, I know my brother-in-law's temperament, before he became the sect master, he rarely came to visit me, and now that he is the sect master, it is even more impossible!" the middle-aged scribe grinned. glanced at the old man's slightly embarrassed expression, and continued: "But if he can send Brother Li here, it can be regarded as his sincerity!"

"In that case, Master Xue, then we will ...... now"

"Well, this kind of thing, we should be prepared as soon as possible! Brother Li, let's go to the study to discuss, this hall will be left to the juniors, how about it?"

"That's how it should be!"

The two deliberated for a while, and soon reached some kind of consensus. So the middle-aged scribe said a few words to Xueyu, and then walked out of the side door of the hall with the white-haired old man. The housekeeper surnamed Xu also followed.

"Huh, it's really suffocating me, so I don't like to stay around these adults, I look serious all day long, it's really panicking!" After a few elders left, Ye Xiaotian felt that the invisible tension in the hall had disappeared, and Chu Mengxue let out a sigh of relief, stroking Xiaoxue's fur, and her voice had improved a lot. And the girl in blue also looked relieved.

"Okay, okay, Sister Xiaolan, don't pay attention to what Grandpa Li said, most of his words are scary!" Seeing that Xiaolan still seemed to have palpitations, Chu Mengxue hurriedly relieved again.

"Sister Xiaolan, why don't we go outside for a look first, hmph, stay here, it's annoying to see someone!" Chu Mengxue glared in the direction of the young man as she spoke.

"Miss, didn't grandpa say just now, Blackwater City has not been peaceful recently, it's best not to walk around!" Xiaolan said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm just walking around in Syracuse, I won't go outside!" Chu Mengxue said and wanted to pull Xiaolan out of the hall, but before she could take a few steps, she was stopped.

"Hey, do you want to leave now?" It was the young man who was glared at by Chu Mengxue just now, at this time he left the side of the snow region and slowly walked in front of Chu Mengxue, with a kind of coldness in his eyes, not at all like the kind of respectful eyes he looked at when he looked at the snow region.

"What, aren't you still allowing me to go?" Chu Mengxue didn't show weakness, and her eyes instantly turned cold.

"Hmph, did you forget something?"

"What's the matter?"

"Of course it's the belonging of the Soul Suppression Flute, you can't be that you haven't found the Blue Heart Grass and want to deliberately escape, right?"

"Oh, I forgot if you didn't say this, huh, see no, these are two blue heart grasses, but not only one, in this way, you are completely unqualified to fight for the soul suppression flute!" Chu Mengxue took out two blue heart grasses from her arms, and put them in the young man's hand under Xiao Xue's reluctant gaze in her arms, and after that, she didn't look at the young man anymore, took Xiaolan's hand, and walked away. Only the young man was left standing in place with a stunned face, staring at the blue heart grass in his hand, and he didn't react for a long time!
