"Grandpa, I didn't finish the task you gave me! Your hard work has been in vain! ”

The master stepped forward to support the old man who was trembling as he walked, and helped him to rest in the pavilion on the side.

Ximen Chengfu waved his hand and said hoarsely: "Grandpa already knows everything, it's the old man who is too whimsical!" ”

"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if Xiao Tianfeng is in a weak period, it is not something you can handle."

"Grandpa's injury is also due to her, the only one among the ten emperors who has an immortal body, how can he be strangled by a group of your juniors?"

The master sighed and asked unwillingly, "But I haven't completed the task, so there is no room for maneuver when I return to the inner clan?" ”

Ximen Chengfu said helplessly: "You are granddaughter's granddaughter, in fact, I can't complain about you back then!" ”

"It's just that the old man, as the head of the family, must have someone sacrifice in order to maintain the family's reputation and prestige."

"And you are the target of everyone, and the old man has to expel you from the foreign race."

"Over the years, the old man has survived. Every time I think of my granddaughter wandering outside, I can't bear it and blame myself. ”

"Many years have passed, and the turmoil and scandals of that year have subsided."

"So the old man wants to re-admit you back to the inner clan, write it into the family tree, and make up for some of the trauma on you before entering the earth!"

"But the old man is not what it used to be, and the day is not safe."

"Although he is still the head of the family, the affairs of the family have long been handed over to Chou'er to take care of. In a few days, the old man will step down and officially pass on the position of head of the family to Chou'er! ”

"Chou'er is strongly opposed to your return to the inner clan, even the old man can only lobby, but he can't make a final decision."

After listening to the words of Ximen Chengfu, the master bowed his head and was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Qin Ye stood up and said: "There are no absolutes, most things in the world can be negotiated or a deal can be made. ”

"Dare to ask the old master of Ximen, if you can come up with some quid pro quo, can you help the master return to the inner clan?"

The Ximen City Mansion seemed to be a little interested, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh?" If you have enough chips, give it a try! What do you want to do? ”

Qin Ye thought for a moment and said, "Lao asks the old master to bring up the matter of the master's return to the inner clan at the succession ceremony in a few days." The younger generation should act at the opportunity! ”

The Ximen City Mansion took a deep look at Qin Ye, then at the master, and slowly nodded in agreement.

"In the next few days, the two of you will live in the mansion, and when the time comes, you will directly participate in the succession ceremony!"

……

Coming out of the courtyard of the old master of the Ximen family, under the leadership of the subordinates, Shishi and Qin Ye came to another courtyard in the mansion.

It was a long-abandoned yard covered in dust and cobwebs, apparently not cleaned for a long time, not even visited.

The master walked into the courtyard, helped up the stone tables and benches that had fallen to the ground, and tore off the dense cobwebs around him.

While doing these things, Qin Ye clearly felt that her emotions had fluctuated, which was a kind of sentimentality, nostalgia, resentment, and a mixed feeling of relief.

Qin Ye looked at the familiar appearance of the master in the courtyard, and guessed that this should be the place where she grew up.

It's just that now things are wrong, and this courtyard is not only the origin of her happiness, but also the beginning of her nightmare, so Qin Ye doesn't know how to comfort her.

After a while, the master pushed open the door of one of the rooms and walked slowly inside, Qin Ye had nothing to do left and right, and followed in.

It turned out to be a mourning hall with two fallen platoons enshrined in it. The incense stick in front of the hall has long been gone, and only half of the incense candle is poured aside.

Qin Ye wanted to step forward to help and help the two ranks, but he was stopped by his teacher.

"Brother Ye, let him crawl on the left position, and help me get up on the right position!"

Qin Ye respected the thoughts in his master's heart, put down the left rank, and instead lifted the right row up and straightened it, and blew off the dust on it.

Look closely, it reads: The spiritual seat of Shu's daughter-in-law of the Ximen family!

When the master saw the spirit row, his eyes turned red, and tears slipped down instantly.

Seeing this, Qin Ye stepped forward and patted her fragrant shoulder, and the master threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly.

At this scene in front of him, Qin Ye guessed probly.

"Shu's" should be Shishi's mother, and the other rank, although I didn't see the name, must be Shishi's father.

are both close relatives, but the teacher's feelings for the two are completely different.

I don't know how long it took, the master stopped sobbing and left Qin Ye's arms, and his emotions calmed down.

The two of them swept away the dust in the mourning hall together, and the incense and candles were rekindled, and only walked out of the mourning hall after doing all this.

Fortunately, the courtyard is very large, and the two of them each found a room to live in temporarily, and then they waited for the notice to participate in the succession ceremony of the Simon family.

In the past few days of idleness, Qin Ye no longer grasped every minute of cultivation as before, but was in a daze and lost his mind most of the time, and his two eyes completely lost the luster of the past.

He plans to return to Luohe Village after completing the matter of being a teacher, become an ordinary person again, and use the life of less than a year to fulfill his filial piety by his grandparents.

"Maybe I shouldn't have walked out of Luohe Village, maybe I'm really not suitable for cultivation!"

……

On this day, the Ximen family ushered in many distinguished guests of the sect, and the whole house was lit up and down, and it was very lively.

Elder Yun came to the courtyard where Qin Ye and his master were temporarily staying, and informed them that today was the succession ceremony of the head of the Ximen family, and the old master of the Ximen family invited them to a banquet.

Due to the large number of people who came to congratulate, the Simon family divided the guests into three levels.

Ordinary casual cultivation is arranged in the front hall, and the subordinates in the house are responsible for entertaining;

The guests of the third-rate sect are arranged in the middle hall, and the ordinary members of the family are responsible for entertaining;

Visitors from second-rate sects and above were arranged in the main hall of the backyard and were personally entertained by the main figures of the Simon family.

But even so, there are still many people who want to get close, and they are dismissed by the subordinates who have not even asked for a drink.

Such a situation shows the great influence of the Ximen family on the rivers and lakes.

Due to the arrangement of the old master of Ximen, Qin Ye and his master entered the main hall of the backyard.

However, when the two came to this grand and luxurious banquet, they felt out of place.

When the core children of the Simon family saw the appearance of Shishi, their eyes were full of hostility and contempt, and they did not regard her as their own clan at all.

Even the subordinates were reluctant to come forward to entertain, for fear of being contaminated with bad luck, so they hid far away.

"Master, are you really willing to return to such a family?"

The two of them found a corner place and sat down, and Qin Ye couldn't help but ask his master.

The master smiled bitterly and replied: "Brother Ye, the so-called fallen leaves return to the roots, although I have no attachment to the family, but my roots are here after all!" ”

"I don't have much time left, I just hope that after I die, my spiritual seat can be next to my mother's spiritual seat!"

When Qin Ye heard this, he could only sigh lightly.

……

After waiting for a while, I still didn't see the old master and today's Zhengjiao'er appear.

The main hall was busy with a young woman.

She is not good-looking, and even a little ugly.

The figure is fairly well-proportioned, but the facial features are not symmetrical, the eyes are small, the bridge of the nose is collapsed, and the lips give people a sense of meanness.

Judging from her appearance, her parents' appearance may not be too good, and they did not give her a good bloodline.

However, this woman seems to be very familiar with people from all walks of life, and anyone can step forward to say a few words, and she looks exquisite, long-sleeved and good at dancing.

"She is my second uncle's only daughter, Ximen Cailian, and she is still my cousin."

"Back then, the second uncle tried his best to encourage my grandfather to expel me from the foreign clan, and a large part of the reason was to pave the way for Ximen Cailian and sweep away my family's biggest competitor!"

Just as Shi Shi whispered to Qin Ye to introduce the core figure of the Ximen family, the woman named Ximen Cailian walked over, staring at Shi Shi up and down with a pair of small eyes, obviously looking ill-intentioned.

"Hey, isn't this cousin?"

"I haven't seen each other for many years, but I didn't expect that when my father succeeded to the head of the family today, he would be able to see my cousin."

"Could it be that he came back from a foreign tribe and made a special trip to congratulate my father?"

When the master heard the other party's harsh words, his pretty face turned cold, and he was about to sneer at him, but he was stopped by Qin Ye.

The reason is simple, the here and now is really not a good place!

However, the other party did not seem to stop until he reached his goal, and said loudly and pretending to exaggerate: "Who brought in the foreigners?" Don't you know that only the core members of the inner clan are eligible to sit in the main hall? ”

At this time, Elder Yun came over and said respectfully to Ximen Cailian: "Miss Cailian, this is the old master's arrangement!" ”

Ximen Cailian glanced at Elder Yun obliquely, and said with unkind words: "After today, my father will be the head of the family, how can Miss Ben's maiden name be called by you old slaves?" ”

When Elder Yun heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, yes!" In the future, the young lady will be the young master, and the old slave will be rude! ”

When Ximen Cailian heard others call herself "Young Master", her face changed a little better.

"It turned out that grandpa let her into the table, it seems that she is really confused! Later, the young master will ask, what are the rules?! ”

After speaking, she cast a meaningful look at her teacher, as if to say, "Let's see, wait for you to look good!" ”

Then she turned away proudly, and continued to greet the people from all factions with false affection.

……

After about an hour, all the people who had been sent to the feast also arrived one after another.

Qin Ye roughly estimated that the entire hall could accommodate more than five hundred people, and there were at least fifty sects that came to Daohe, which accounted for more than half of the second-rate forces in the rivers and lakes.

The seats in the hall were basically full, but there were only two of them at the table in the corner of Qin Ye and Shishi, which seemed extremely lonely.
