When he came out of the Kyushu trading house, Qin Yun was missing a full ten pieces of fire spirit jade.

This is still the result of his bargaining, the smiling Zhongsun Han is definitely a first-class old fox in the merchant, the recommended gifts are really good things and high prices, and they can be sold to make the dead alive, but people can't find faults.

After choosing and buying a gift, Qin Yun set off for the Shui family.

He didn't need to inquire about the address, because Zhong Sun Han learned during the conversation that after Qin Yun visited the Shui family for the first time, he took the initiative to arrange a servant for Qin Yun to lead the way, and the service was definitely thoughtful and considerate.

The Shui clan is a local family in Lingyang, and after their ancestors migrated from the north to this new territory of the empire hundreds of years ago, they took root in the local area and worked diligently to manage the current scale.

The Shui family is also one of the seven families in Lingyang, but its strength is located in the downstream of the seven families, operating manors and acres and shops, and thousands of clansmen have a good reputation in Lingyang City.

The Shui family's mansion was located at the southern end of Lingyang City, and the guys from the Kyushu Commercial Bank walked with Qin Yun for half an hour, and finally stopped at the mouth of an alley.

"Guest, this is Shuijia Lane, you see that the end of the alley is the old house of the Shuijia family" The guy said respectfully: "Do you have any other instructions?"

"Thank you!" Qin Yun nodded, and took a piece of broken silver from his waist bag and handed it over.

The young man took the reward and left happily with a thousand thanks.

Qin Yun led the horses and continued to move forward, the road in this alley was very wide, and the extremely smooth bluestone slabs were enough to accommodate two carriages in parallel. The floor is even cleaner, and it is clear that it is often cleaned.

On both sides of the high fence, evergreen vines crawl all over the old walls, on which the traces of moss silently tell the vicissitudes of time, and you can vaguely see the branches peeking out of the wall, making people go back and guess the scenery behind the high wall.

At the end of the alley is the front door of the mansion, the door inlaid with a brass ring of door nails is tightly closed, and two stone lion statues squat on the left and right of the door. The lion's eyes stared at Qin Yun who came from afar.

There was a plaque hanging on the gate, and the two big characters "Shuifu" on it proved that the guy was not taking the wrong way.

Qin Yun stepped forward, reached out and lifted the copper ring and slapped it a few times.

Not much. The door creaked open, and a gray-haired old man poked his head out, looked at Qin Yun suspiciously, and asked, "Who? Young man, do you have something?"

Qin Yun arched his hand and said, "Under Qin Yun." From the Heavenly City Sword Sect, I came to Lingyang to meet the master of the family at the order of the master Shui Wanning, and asked the old man to report on his behalf!"

"You're the eldest lady's apprentice?"

The white-haired old man was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly opened the door, while turning back and shouting, "There is a distinguished guest here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large crowd of people, men, women, and children, poured out of it.

I don't know if it's the relationship between Aiwu and Wu, the Shui family's welcome and enthusiasm for Qin Yun made him feel flattered, he was led to the main hall lobby and sat down, and all kinds of tea and snacks were sent like water.

More than a dozen male and female servants surrounded Qin Yun and served diligently. It made him a little embarrassed.

After a while, a group of women came out of it.

The leader was a graceful old lady, she was wearing a golden silk moire dress, holding a dragon's head cane in her hand, and when she saw Qin Yun, she praised with a smile: "You are my daughter's apprentice?" Not bad!"

Qin Yun didn't expect his master's mother to be so old, but he still didn't hesitate to step forward and kneel on one knee, and greeted him with a big salute: "Apprentice Sun Qin Yun, meet grandma!"

"Hurry up, get up and talk!" The old lady stretched out her hand to support Qin Yun, and her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile: "Is my daughter okay in the Sword Sect? I didn't say you were coming, really!"

Although it was a complaining tone, she could completely hear her doting on Shui Wanning.

exchanged a few words, and then the old lady introduced the people next to Qin Yun, this is the aunt, this is the aunt, this is the eldest aunt, this is the second aunt, this is the cousin, this is the cousin

There are still many uncles and brothers who have not returned, and Qin Yun is already saluting and speaking dryly!

It's just that what makes Qin Yun feel a little strange is that Shui Shengnan is not inside, and it stands to reason that she went home before herself.

After finally finishing the introduction, Qin Yun took out the gift he had prepared in advance and presented it.

Among them were the elixir talisman that Shui Wanning had given him, as well as two letters from his family, as well as an overseas treasure that he had just purchased in the Kyushu trading house.

The old lady was very happy, and said that Qin Yun was too wasteful.

After sitting down again, the old lady deliberately arranged Qin Yun beside her.

She took Qin Yun's hand and talked about a lot of things, chattering about how her daughter was, and the aunt and aunt next to her interjected a few words from time to time, simply treating Qin Yun, who had just arrived, as her own family.

The old lady didn't forget to ask Qin Yun's family background, Qin Yun said it simply, but it made the old lady red-eyed when she heard it, and she cherished Qin Yun's loneliness.

Qin Yun grew up in a mountain village since he was a child, and he and his grandfather Qin Yang depended on each other, and he had never enjoyed the warmth of a big family, so his heart was naturally very warm.

As for the Qianchao Qin family, there is only a struggle of naked interests, and brothers can become enemies, and there has never been an atmosphere of harmony.

While we were chatting, a dozen or so people came in from outside.

Shui Mingdong, the head of the Shui family and Shui Wanning's father, is back!

Under the introduction of the old lady, Qin Yun stepped forward again and saluted: "Apprentice Sun Qin Yun, meet the master!"

Shui Mingdong was very surprised to see Qin Yun, thought for a while and asked, "Are you Wanning's apprentice?" I saw you in the City Guard Mansion, you are the disciple of the Sword Sect who came with Xu Jingye!"

Qin Yun remembered that there was a large group of people who came to greet Xu Jingye in front of the City Guard Mansion, but he didn't know that Shui Mingdong was also among them, so he nodded and replied: "Yes, I met Lord Xu on the road, and I was very close to Lord Xu, so I walked all the way to Lingyang." ”

Shui Mingdong looks much younger than the old lady, his appearance is burly and tall, his thick eyebrows and bright eyes can vaguely show the demeanor of his youth, and his head and temples bulging are obviously Qi refining martial artists.

Hearing Qin Yun's words, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he seemed to have a headache and trouble.

A young man standing behind him immediately scolded: "Do you know how to do things? Then Xu Jingye is here to deal with our Lingyang Seven family, you are Aunt Wanning's apprentice, it's okay if you don't help us, you actually go to help Xu Jingye, how can there be a reason to turn your elbow out!"

This person was extremely angry, Qin Yun couldn't help but turn his head to look over, but found that the other party was looking at him with contemptuous eyes, full of provocation, and he didn't know what made him so proud.

Could it be the realm strength of the sixth or seventh heavens of qi refining?

This young man was about twenty-four or five years old, his appearance was quite handsome, and his white-robed sword could be called a jade tree in the wind, but there was a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows, which made people feel very comfortable.

Bang!

"Lin'er, how did you speak!"

The old lady sank her face on the spot, slammed the dragon head cane in her hand, and scolded angrily: "Yun'er came all the way to visit, and also brought Wanning's gifts and family letters, he is still Wanning's apprentice, even ordinary guests can't be so rude, apologize to me quickly!"

The young man bowed his head and said nothing, without apology, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Another middle-aged man next to him defended: "Mother, Lin'er is also for the good of our Shui family, now that the Shangguan family has made it clear that they want to deal with Xu Jingye, our Shui family can't stand on Xu Jingye's side, right?

"Although our Shui family has Wanning, others dare not provoke easily, but after all, she is not in Lingyang City, if something happens, it is impossible to rush back from the Heavenly City Sword Sect thousands of miles away."

After listening to the other party's words in a daze, the old lady said excitedly: "Since you are all so afraid of the Shangguan family, then I won't say anything, sir, you look at it, anyway, I can't take care of the affairs of the family!"

Shui Mingdong's expression was cloudy, his lips moved a few times, but he didn't open his mouth after all.

The old lady turned around and took Qin Yun's hand, and said guiltily: "Yun'er, today is grandma sorry for you, another day grandma will go to the Heavenly City Sword Sect to see you, let's have a good chat!"

Anyone could see her sadness and anger, Qin Yun hurriedly said: "Grandma's words are serious, it was Qin Yun who took the liberty today, and it has nothing to do with you at all!"

The old lady shook her head, let go of her hand and turned to walk inside, and the other ladies present hurriedly followed.

Qin Yun took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, raised his hand and hugged his fist at Shui Mingdong and said, "Since the Shui family is not welcome, then Qin Yun will retire first!"

He also turned to leave, leaving a group of water family members looking at each other!

"Hmph, no distinction between dignity and inferiority!" the young man snorted coldly, "How did my aunt teach my apprentice!"

"Shut up for me!" Shui Mingdong scolded angrily: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

Seeing that Shui Mingdong was really angry, the young man shrank his head and obediently closed his mouth.

At this time, a delicate figure broke into the hall like a whirlwind, and asked Shui Mingdong urgently: "Grandpa, when did Brother Qin Yun arrive at our house? Why don't you keep him, I just came back and saw him leave, and he ignored me!"

"Do you know him?" Shui Mingdong was surprised.

The young man couldn't help but sneer: "What are you leaving him for?

"Invite disaster and cause trouble, Brother Qin Yun?" The girl's eyes widened in surprise: "How is it possible! Brother Qin Yun is a congenital master, when he was on the road, he also killed the bloody hand man and slaughtered Wanxiong!"

"What did you say!?"

Shui Mingdong's heart was shocked, and he grabbed his granddaughter's hand!
