Chapter Twenty-Eight: Rune Patriarch
Late at night, the city is lit up.
The villa area of Sword Tooth City is heavily guarded, and even stray dogs can't sneak in. The guards yawned and complained that the dead wages they paid for the rich people's homes were not worth a fraction of the money other people's children had inherited from the family business.
However, some of the guards were very open-minded, because they knew that for the president and shareholders of the group in the villa area, there were some hidden currents within their seemingly harmonious families, and in the face of absolute money and wealth, some flesh and blood family ties would also seem worthless.
A detached villa with an entire garden, the hostess of the meal is dressed in a dressing gown and reclining alone on a chair.
The wine was half awakened, and in the center of the long table was a giant cake, and ten candles were attached to the cream of the cake, and the candlelight flickered brighter than the lamp.
The hostess closed her eyes, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye. She slowly raised her hand, and dark red runes sprouted from her fingertips, turning small to large. I saw her shake her wrist, and the rune quickly turned invisible, and the ten candles were half-cut off, falling into the cream and being drowned.
"Yiyi, don't blame your mother for being ruthless."
……
……
"Didn't the old gentleman just say that he was Su Bo's wife's father?"
Duan Li'er frowned slightly, first glanced at Chen Xiaoyu, and then looked at the old man.
The old man shook his head and said only that he didn't know.
Although the old man was unkempt and looked very sloppy, his eyes were clear and clean, and he looked like he was dressed.
Duan Li'er concluded that this old man was definitely not stupid, but hiding and not saying anything.
Since she couldn't ask why, Duan Li'er was also a little hungry, so she had to choose to give up first, after all, she and Chen Xiaoyu came here to eat and rest comfortably.
The table is full of special dishes of Sword Tooth City, and it is dizzying.
Chen Xiaoyu puffed out his cheeks and looked at the old man sitting next to him, who was also full of food and was bound to compete with him.
The young man has half a chicken, and the old man has half a duck; The young man unscrewed half a bottle of beer, the old man picked up the liquor and threw it out, and replaced it with beer and unscrewed half of the bottle.
Chen Xiaoyu was not happy, picked up the liquor bottle on the ground, took a deep breath, unscrewed off the cap and poured it directly into half a catty, pointed at the old man and sneered: "It's ......"
Without a word popping out, Chen Xiaoyu's eyes rolled and he fell to the ground on his back.
The old man looked up and laughed, kicked Chen Xiaoyu away, picked up the rest of the liquor, and flicked the bottleneck with his fingers.
The neck of the bottle is directly separated from the bottle, and the notch is visibly smooth. The old man touched the cyan parrot on his shoulder, raised his head and drank it to the last drop, and fell down with a red face.
The cyan feathers flew, and the parrot flew to the back of the chair in fright, making a "clucking" sound.
This scene directly stunned Duan Li'er, and the girl was extremely incomprehensible, thinking that these two people were still acquaintances?
In fact, Chen Xiaoyu and the old man don't know each other, but for the old man, it's just a man who dies and is still a teenager.
After a while, Chen Xiaoyu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, pointed at the old man with his face on the ground, and laughed again: "Old guy, can't you even remember your name after drinking too much?" ”
"Can't remember?"
The old man, who was also drunk, turned over abruptly and scolded: "Are you really grandpa Alzheimer's and drink too much?" For your sake, boy, I'll tell you about it! ”
The little old man had words in his mouth, and the rune mark on the parrot's paws flickered, and then, the parrot chirped: "The rune ancestor of Sword Tooth City should be Ning Jixuan!" ”
Rune Ancestor?
Those who are worthy of the word patriarch are the strongest people who open sects between heaven and earth in any era.
"Then you are Ning Jixuan? You admit it! ”
Chen Xiaoyu turned over and stood up, coughed twice, and continued: "Then Su Yiyi and Su Yichen are not your grandsons and granddaughters?" ”
Ning Jixuan realized that he had been tricked by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school student.
It's just that how did he know that Chen Xiaoyu, who looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old, was actually a senior bookworm who had graduated for half a year and a writer who had written two or three million words on the street.
For Chen Xiaoyu, his writing results are not good, but all the routines he could write back then can now be used on the spot.
"Good, good! It's not a shameful thing to come to this place to consume, and you're not a simple person, let's say, didn't that guy Subo offend your parents in the mall? ”
Looking at the two high school students who were particularly concerned about his identity, Ning Jixuan naturally thought of his good son-in-law who was like a battlefield in the shopping mall, and sat on the ground with a sigh.
The cyan parrot flew back to his shoulder, and the old man shook his head, leaving only helplessness on his face.
Seeing that the topic of conversation was gradually becoming remote, Duan Li'er walked to Ning Jixuan's side, squatted to be level with the old man sitting on the ground, and said calmly: "We are actually not from this city, since Mr. Ning is the rune ancestor of Sword Tooth City, then Li'er will not hide it from you, I wonder if you know the runes that can control spirit beasts?" ”
The girl's soft voice brushed by, and Ning Jixuan fell into deep thought.
There are many types of runes, and the reason why he is the rune ancestor of this Sword Tooth City is because he has developed a rune that can control the sabertooth tiger.
The city is called Sword Tooth because the people here are no longer afraid of the nearby beast Sabertooth Tiger with the help of the "Control Rune", and often control the ferocious Sabertooth Tiger to attack their own kind, in order to obtain the sharp giant tooth of the Sabertooth Tiger as a component for crafting high-damage weapons and intricate jewelry.
Later, in order to prevent the cultivators from borrowing the power of the runes to endanger the saber-toothed tiger and other spirit beasts that should normally live in the mountains and forests in the western suburbs, Ning Jixuan chose to start pretending to be crazy and stupid and close himself off.
Naturally, the control rune was not seen again after a while.
But now, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old high school student whispered in his ear so lightly that he was talking about the control rune again! This Sword Tooth City Rune Ancestor, who had been riddled with sins because of his control of runes, lowered his head in shame.
"Know...... But how did the girl know about the control rune? Ning Jixuan recalled the past, nodded, and turned to look at Duan Li'er.
After getting the old man's response, Duan Li'er told all the things she had done in the western suburbs before, including the aura she noticed that the remnants of the rune belonged to the same kind of aura as Su Yiyi, Su Yichen, and Ning Jixuan.
Who knew that after the old man listened to Duan Li'er's explanation, his face changed suddenly, and his tone became a little impatient.
"I don't believe what Miss Duan said, the control rune is probably the only one I can do in the current Sword Tooth City, and even in the entire continent, can I still kill my own granddaughter?!"
After saying this, Ning Jixuan slammed the door and left.
Seeing that the old man who had worked so hard left like this, Chen Xiaoyu looked at Duan Li'er suspiciously.
"Senior Brother Xiaoyu, have you noticed it, he has a weak heart." The girl played with the headband and smiled slightly.
