Chapter 138: The Old Ancestor of the Zhou Family
After Zhou Heng heard Zhou Zijian's words, he was so angry that he dropped the teacup directly, and then scolded angrily:
"Isn't it wrong for you to shirk your responsibilities? Why did I, Zhou Heng, give birth to such a useless son as you? ”
Seeing that his father was really angry, Zhou Zijian was so frightened that he obediently shut up, where did he dare to talk nonsense. At this time, Zhou Zixuan said unusually calmly:
"Dad, I am also responsible for this matter, but now is not the time to talk about this, the top priority is to find a way to find out the identity of the other party first, and then see if we can resolve the misunderstanding between the two of us."
Zhou Heng couldn't help but look at his eldest son with some appreciation, compared to the eldest son, the second child is obviously muddy and can't support the wall, it seems that he can't expect him to do anything in the future, just don't cause trouble for the family.
At this time, the three elders who had been silent on the side suddenly said in a low voice:
"I've already informed the old ancestor about this, he will be out of the customs soon, let's wait first!"
"What, the old ancestor is going to be out of the customs?"
Zhou Zixuan's face immediately changed slightly when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect that the mistake they made would cause the old ancestor to end the retreat early, and at this moment, he finally understood what kind of big mistake he had made.
Zhou Heng couldn't help but glared at his two sons, and scolded in a stern voice:
"Look at the good things you have done, even the old ancestors are shocked, originally this time the old ancestor retreat went smoothly, maybe he could be promoted to the eighth grade, but now it ends early, there is no hope for the eighth grade in this life!"
Hearing this, Zhou Zijian just lowered his head tightly in fright, and didn't dare to say anything, but Zhou Zixuan's heart felt deep self-blame, he couldn't help but kowtow respectfully to his father and the three elders in the hall, and then said in a sincere tone:
"Dad, three elders, this lesson will definitely be remembered by me Zhou Zixuan, and I will never do it again, I accept your supervision."
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then continued in a firm tone:
"If the old ancestor fails to be promoted to the eighth-rank martial artist this time, it is indeed the regret of our entire Zhou family, and this is also an irreversible thing, I, Zhou Zixuan, promise that I will lead the Zhou family further in the future to make up for the mistakes I made!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three elders and Zhou Heng immediately showed a look of appreciation, and they just wanted to say something, but unexpectedly, an old but majestic voice suddenly sounded behind everyone:
"Yes, this is the good son of our Zhou family, and the hope of the Zhou family's future is pinned on you."
When they heard this voice, everyone's faces immediately changed slightly, and then they hurriedly looked at the door, and immediately saw an old man with gray hair but a very tall figure walking in step by step, with a kind smile on his face.
Everyone didn't think about it, and immediately knelt down, and shouted respectfully in excitement:
"I'm waiting to welcome the old ancestor out of the customs!"
Seeing that the old man only stretched out his sleeves for a while, everyone felt an invisible force supporting their bodies, and they actually helped them up from the ground.
"When you see me in the future, you don't have to kneel!"
The old man said with a smile, then looked at Zhou Zixuan, and said with a little appreciation in his eyes:
"You are Xuan'er, I haven't seen you for ten years, I didn't expect to grow so big, you are indeed a talent."
was praised by the ancestor so face-to-face, Zhou Zixuan was suddenly a little flattered, and he didn't know what to say, so he stammered for a long time before blurting out:
"Praise of the ancestors of Xie ......"
The old man nodded, then looked directly at Zhou Zijian, looked at the people in the hall, and then strode forward, sat down on the main seat, and said in a calm voice:
"Okay, let's talk about it, what's going on this time?"
Zhou Heng hurriedly glared at Zhou Zixuan, signaled to himself and said, It's already such a time, how dare Zhou Zixuan hide it, and hurriedly told the whole story of the matter.
He thought that the old ancestor would be furious after hearing this, but unexpectedly, the expression on the other party's face was still very calm, and he just said lightly:
"I think the two of them didn't do anything wrong, our Zhou family is out of the house, why should we bow to others, if we are beaten, then we should fight back, what is there to be afraid of."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at the old man with some surprise, you must know that it is very likely that they are provoking a seven-rank martial artist this time, in the past, the other party will definitely be furious when he knows about this, after all, he is only in the position of the seventh grade.
And now the old man is a breezy appearance, it seems that he didn't take these two so-called seven-rank martial artists in his eyes at all, and in an instant, everyone suddenly thought of something, and when they looked at the old man, they were suddenly full of excitement, Zhou Heng took the lead and asked:
"Old Ancestor, could it be that you have successfully broken through to the eighth grade?"
At this moment, the old man just smiled lightly, and did not want to hide the meaning of everyone, and replied directly:
"That's right, the old man is now an eighth-rank martial artist, and he broke through several months earlier than expected."
