Chapter 1: Parting
The vast land is boundless, and some areas are filled with smoke all year round, some areas are frozen and cold, and some areas are gloomy. Some people divide this continent into nine states -- Yanzhou, Lanzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, Zhongzhou, Youzhou, Leizhou, Yunzhou, and Qingzhou.
Jizhou, a state composed of many countries, where the strongest force is not the sect, not the family, but the country. Among them, the four most powerful kingdoms, the Jin Kingdom, the Shu Kingdom, the Yun Kingdom, and the Peacock Kingdom, led countless vassal states against the powerful forces of other states.
As its name suggests, the people of Xiangjing City, a small city in the south of the Peacock Country, are peaceful and quiet and courteous to each other. Because this is the ceremonial capital of the Peacock Country, although it is not as magnificent as the Bird Capital and other top cities, no one dares to be disrespectful to Xiangjing City. Most of the powerful people would send their children to the city to learn the rites and teachings.
In the eastern part of Xiangjing City, there is a relatively old courtyard, and in the middle room, there is a lazy young man who is looking at the red sun hanging obliquely outside the window, with a longing smile.
"Humph!". An angry shout pulled Zhong Fan back from fantasy to reality. Zhong Fan scratched his head in embarrassment, and said to the old man beside him with a smile: "Eh, master・・・・・・" The old master glanced at the white paper in front of Zhong Fan, and then looked at his expression, and sighed helplessly. The old master has no way to deal with Zhong Fan, if you want to say that Zhong Fan is stupid, you can learn what can be taught. Originally, the old master valued him a lot, but he didn't want to study at all, he either slept or was in a daze every day, and he was the laziest of all the students.
"Zhong Fan". Zhong Fan was stopped just as he wanted to leave, "What's the matter, I'm going back." Zhong Fan looked at Qiu Yuebai impatiently. It's no wonder that Zhong Fan has a bad temper, originally today was the last day of the academy, Zhong Fan wanted to go back and have a good rest - although he didn't usually work hard, but he was tired after staying here for so long, wasn't it. At least that's what he thinks. And this Qiu Yuebai is a young lady with a temper and often makes trouble for herself, she didn't want to see her, but now she still stops herself, can you not be angry?
Qiu Yuebai was a little panicked when she saw Zhong Fan's expression, and she forgot what she wanted to say for a while, and she couldn't say a word for a long time
Come. Zhong Fan looked at Qiu Yuebai's appearance a little strangely, with her usual arrogant temperament, how could she be like this, wouldn't she think about me again. Zhong Fan frowned, looked at Qiu Yuebai and said, "What the hell is going on, I still have to go back." Qiu Yuebai plucked up her courage: "That, where are you going to go in the future?" "Where are you going, go home." Zhong Fan looked at Qiu Yuebai suspiciously. "You!" Qiu Yuebai feigned anger, "I mean the academy's classes are over, what will you do in the future?" "That hasn't been decided yet," Zhong Fan replied casually. Seeing that Qiu Yuebai didn't speak, Zhong Fan turned around and prepared to leave. Qiu Yuebai suddenly stopped him again: "Zhong Fan, are you going to the Bird Mansion?" Zhong Fan looked at Qiu Yuebai's expectant appearance, and felt that her cautious appearance was still quite cute, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny when he thought of her usual delicate appearance. "What are you laughing at, answer me quickly. In an instant, Qiu Yuebai changed to his original appearance again, Zhong Fan touched his nose: "Can my grades enter the Bird Mansion?" "It seems to be quite difficult," Qiu Yuebai thought for a while, "Then I can ask my brother to help you enter the cultivation department." Qiu Yuebai suddenly said happily. "Cultivation Department?" Zhong Fan's face was a little strange after hearing this. Qiu Yuebai thought that Zhong Fan was afraid of his poor qualifications, so he said eagerly: "It doesn't matter if you haven't cultivated, you can go in and cultivate again." Zhong Fan was silent for a moment, "Forget it, I'm not interested." Qiu Yuebai saw that Zhong Fan really didn't want to be disappointed and lowered his head, and then asked unwillingly: "Then can you come to me in the future?" Zhong Fan looked at Qiu Yuebai and thought: What's wrong with her today, it's not right. "Oh, got it. I will go when I have the chance. Good bye. After speaking, Zhong Fan turned around and left. Qiu Yuebai smiled and began to look forward to the future. Suddenly, another person appeared next to Qiu Yuebai: "Yuebai, I'll invite you to dinner and celebrate." "Hmph," Qiu Yuebai glared at Han Xiaolong coldly, "I said you shouldn't call me that, I'm going home, let's eat by myself." After saying that, he quickly left, leaving only Han Xiaolong standing there stupidly. Han Xiaolong naturally blamed Zhong Fan for everything: "That Zhong Fan is better than me, he always ignores me, hmph, if it weren't for my father who sealed my cultivation, which round would you Zhong Fan be arrogant." Next time I meet you, I will teach you a good lesson. ”
There is no moon, there are stars, and the stars are shining. The breeze on the top of the mountain blew lightly, and Zhong Fan quietly looked at the starry sky in the distance. A dark shadow crept in
Appear beside him and look at the sky with him. "Father. Zhong Fan turned around and bowed slightly to the man who appeared beside him. "You're missing her again. Zhong Fan's father, Zhong Chitian, turned his head to look at Zhong Fan. Zhong Fan looked at the starry sky in the distance again, "Yes." How is she now?" "Your grandfather arranged for Li Bo to follow her, at least his life will not be in danger. "Grandpa Li," Zhong Fan smiled a little helplessly, "then she will definitely suffer a lot." Grandpa Li will definitely not make a move in the end. "She hasn't been through much yet. "Where is she now?" "Sparrow's house." "It can't be that coincidental. Zhong Fan was a little helpless when he thought of Qiu Yuebai, and he didn't know what she meant. Zhong Chitian looked at Zhong Fan suspiciously, Zhong Fan felt his father's gaze, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that a friend asked me to go to the Bird Mansion to find her." ”
The two of them looked at the starry sky silently, and after a while, Zhong Chitian said lightly: "You can go whenever you want, but come to me before you leave." After saying that, he disappeared, leaving only Zhong Fan's expression twitching, and he felt like he wanted to cry without tears.
"Bang!" a wretched figure got up from the ground, "Are you still my father?" Zhong Fan said indignantly. Zhong Chitian was expressionless, and looked at Zhong Fan who seemed to be scorched lightly: "You haven't made any progress, next time it's still like this, don't blame me for improving my strength." Okay, you can go now. Looking at the back of his father leaving, Zhong Fan muttered in a low voice: "Obviously, you asked me to learn poetry and etiquette, where did I get the time to practice." Zhong Fan sighed and walked out of the room dissatisfied.
On the mountain behind Zhong's house, two old men on the top of the mountain were looking at Zhong Fan. "Haha, Lao Qiu, your granddaughter is going to be my granddaughter-in-law. One of the white-robed old men laughed. Another old man in a blue shirt snorted coldly: "That's not necessarily, maybe my granddaughter doesn't like this stinky boy." ”
Zhong Fan packed up his things and rushed to the finches.
Each state in Kyushu is vast and boundless, and Jishu is also a relatively large state among Kyushu. As one of the four major countries in Jizhou, the land of the Peacock Country is also very large, and the teleportation array is usually used when traveling.
Zhong Fan rushed all the way to Wuyan City of the teleportation array, but was told that the teleportation array was under maintenance and would take ten days. There is no way, the next city with a teleportation array is thousands of miles away from here, and Zhong Fan also felt very tired after rushing for so many days, so he found an inn to live in.
After resting for an afternoon, Zhong Fan came downstairs to prepare for a bite to eat. "Why have there been more people in the city recently?" Zhong Fan was eating, and when he heard a few people at the next table discussing something, he paid attention to it by the way. "You don't know?" a thin man at the table whispered, "I heard that the Wu family is going to hold an auction in the past two days, and if it weren't for the fact that the teleportation array needs to be repaired, it is estimated that more people will come." Zhong Fan also wanted to take a look after hearing this: I don't know what things will be in this auction, well, it's not interesting to stay here anyway, it's better to go and see. Zhong Fan made a decision and was going to inquire more about the news to see if he could inquire about the auction items.
