Bathed in the warm sunshine and feeling the gentle breeze, everyone drank tea and laughed and talked, so uncomfortable.

At this moment, there was a sudden quarrel outside the courtyard gate, which alarmed everyone.

The back garden of Duanmu's house is very large, and it is far away from the courtyard gate, and the quarrel is inaudible. However, the four people present were all cultivators, and this subtle voice could not hide from everyone's ears and eyes.

Xia Yuan swept it with a pseudo-divine thought, and saw a young girl at the gate of the courtyard, arguing with the housekeeper guarding the gate of the courtyard.

This girl is slender and tall, with a delicate face, picturesque eyebrows, and a black suit, full of heroism.

The girl said to the butler, "Get out of the way, I want to see my father." ”

The housekeeper was sweating, and his face was flushed with anxiety: "The head of the house is really entertaining distinguished guests, and he especially emphasizes that no one should disturb him, don't make it difficult for me." ”

The girl said, "I don't believe that there is any distinguished guest who can make my father so solemn that even I can't meet him?"

The housekeeper did not give way, but still stopped and pleaded, and the girl did not flinch, and the two continued to confront and entangle at the gate of the courtyard.

The four Liding all saw this scene with their divine senses, and Duanmu Zheng laughed: "Family master, you don't have a sparring partner today, and your Ziyan came to the door." ”

Duanmuping hurriedly explained to Xia Yuan: "This is the little girl Ziyan, who is spoiled by me on weekdays, and she doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and she disturbs the distinguished guests, so I will punish her heavily." ”

Xia Yuan waved his hand and said: "Duanmu family master, there is no need to be like this, how can we be disturbed by such a distance? ”

Xia Yuan looked at Duanmuping, it is estimated that this person is also more than two hundred years old, and he is an old man, like Wang Weitai and Zhu Youdao, he inevitably loves this little daughter. Xia Yuan didn't want to make it difficult for Duanmu Ping, who doted on his daughter, because of this little thing, so he casually took a step.

Duanmuping really doted on his daughter, and immediately went down the steps: "In this way, thank you for being far less, you are so generous, I am ashamed." I have no way to teach my daughter, and I will discipline her strictly in the future. ”

Duanmu Zheng joked on the side: "Just your daughter slave, dare to discipline her? You didn't accompany her to practice spells today, so let's think about how to pass the test later." ”

Today, everyone gathered to talk speculatively, the atmosphere was very good, Duanmu Zheng was also relaxed for a while, and in front of Xia Yuan, he ridiculed Duanmu Ping.

Duanmuping was revealed to his true situation, and his face was red for a while, and he was very embarrassed.

Xia Yuan said with a smile: "The head of the Duanmu family still accompanies Ling Ai to practice spells every day, it's really rare." ”

Duanmu Zheng continued to break the news: "Don't look at Ziyan as a woman, but she likes fighting very much, it is a chore to practice with her, this person has to make sandbags every day, he really loves his daughter like life." ”

Xia Yuan saw Duanmu Zheng continue to blow up his family ugliness, and he already understood his thoughts, obviously Duanmu Zheng wanted to get closer to Xia Yuan by saying something irrelevant about family affairs. This coincided with Xia Yuan's thoughts, and Xia Yuan naturally continued to work very cooperatively.

Xia Yuan said: "Ziyan's cultivation is good, she has already quenched the peak of the seventh layer, and she is also a leader in the Purple Academy at this age." Although the head of the Duanmu family works hard every day, it is worth it to have such a harvest. ”

Duanmu Zheng said: "Ziyan didn't enter the Luncai Courtyard, she thought it was too bland. ”

Xia Yuan was really interested when he heard this, this was the first genius he had seen who was unwilling to enter the Picky Academy, Xia Yuan couldn't help but carefully check Duanmu Ziyan with a pseudo-divine thought.

Duanmu Ziyan's age is one or two years younger than Cai Wuji and Xue Yunting, but his cultivation is the same as them, or even more solid. With such a cultivation speed, in this world, it can be said that he is a top-level genius.

Xia Yuan said: "This is a bit unexpected, but with the background of the Duanmu family, it will not affect the cultivation if you don't enter the Lucai Academy, but it will have some impact on your connections." ”

Duanmu Ping said: "My daughter is very aggressive, and if she really entered the Caicai Academy, it would be even more difficult to gain than to lose if she caused an accident." I also have a headache for her character, obviously she has a very good talent, and she just devotes herself to cultivation, but she likes fighting and spends a lot of time practicing spells, and some of them put the cart before the horse. If you are injured in the fight, if you get a defect in your body, it will be hopeless. It is because of such concerns that I practice with her every day, and with my cultivation, I can ensure that she is not injured, and I am not at ease if I change someone else. ”

Xia Yuan said with a smile: "In this way, Ziyan's actual combat ability must be far superior to that of his peers, but those students of the Elite Academy rarely practice spells, let alone fight." If Ziyan went to the Caicai Academy, he would definitely be able to beat those students with a full head. ”

Duanmu Ping smiled bitterly: "What's the use of this? In the end, it's not about whether you can stand on the throne, that's the watershed of a cultivator's strength." ”

Xia Yuan said: "Ziyan is also good at being aggressive, through fighting, she has a better understanding of her body and can find some small hidden dangers, so that she can solve the problem in time, which is more conducive to advancing to the top." ”

Duanmu Ping said worriedly: "The advantage is there, but compared with the risk, the two are asymmetrical." Now she is a little dissatisfied with practicing with me, thinking that I always let her, what if she sneaks out to cause trouble and hurts her body?"

Xia Yuan saw Duanmuping's troubled appearance, and said in his heart that this is really a daughter slave, and when he mentioned his baby daughter, his mind immediately turned to his daughter. You are the head of the Duanmu family, and there are still distinguished guests here, so you are thinking to yourself?

However, Duanmuping is so affectionate, Xia Yuan is quite satisfied, which is very in line with Xia Yuan's concept. Xia Yuan said with a smile: "Ziyan is so different, I also want to meet her, Duanmu family master, let her in." ”

Duanmu Ping was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why Xia Yuan became interested in Duanmu Ziyan. Seeing this, Duanmu Zheng next to him hurriedly responded: "Since Yuan Shao wants to see Ziyan, I will let her come to visit." ”

After Duanmu Zheng finished speaking, he immediately transmitted the message to Duanmu Ziyan and the housekeeper at the gate of the courtyard, asking the housekeeper to make way, and Duanmu Ziyan quickly came to meet the distinguished guests.

Duanmu Zheng knows Xia Yuan very well, he has studied Xia Yuan specifically, and knows that Xia Yuan has always acted in a strict manner, never on a whim or without a purpose. At this moment, Xia Yuan wanted to see Ziyan, and he must have his intentions. Everyone got along very well and happily today, Xia Yuan probably wanted to give a little benefit to the juniors of the Duanmu family, which could be regarded as a thank you for the hospitality of the Duanmu family. Thinking of Xia Yuan's mysterious and subtle methods, Duanmu Zheng couldn't help but look forward to it, not knowing what Xia Yuan would give.

Duanmu Ziyan at the gate of the courtyard suddenly got a message from Zong Lao, she was a little stunned after listening to it, although Zong Lao Duanmu Zheng let her go, but his tone was not as kind as usual. Today, Sect Elder Duanmu Zheng's words were extremely harsh, requiring her to obey the rules and etiquette, obviously the distinguished guests here were not trivial, which made Duanmu Ziyan's heart full of curiosity
