Chapter Twenty-Six: The Elders Arrive, and the Cao Family Retreats
"Brother Xiu'er, have you heard, recently there are a group of guys in the city who don't know where to come from, and they don't even give face to the government office, and they are running around the city, saying that they are looking for some thieves who steal treasures!"
In a restaurant facing the street, Chen Shi was telling Cao Xiu about what he had recently heard.
As he was talking, he suddenly saw chaos on the street in the distance, and couldn't help but pout: "No, isn't that coming!" ”
Cao Xiu turned his head to look, and his eyes suddenly shrank, and he recognized the red-robed middle-aged man who was the leader of the group, who was the Red Lotus Holy Envoy!
He quickly turned his head: "Shut up, be careful that the wall has ears, and don't talk about these things outside." ”
"Huh?"
Chen Shi was a little surprised at first, but when he saw Cao Xiu's face, and then looked at the men outside who were wearing red clothes or with red cloth tied to their foreheads, he suddenly understood, and quickly changed the topic and talked about trivial matters at home!
On the street, the Red Lotus Holy Envoy looked at the pedestrians on the left and right from time to time, eager to find the guy who stole the holy flame immediately.
Because he could sense the Holy Fire with a spirit rune, he traveled at an extremely fast speed, thus avoiding wasting his experience on ordinary people.
It's just that he didn't pay attention, and the moment he passed by the restaurant, the spirit rune in his hand lit up imperceptibly.
It's a pity that this light is too faint, and when the Red Lotus Holy Envoy looks down at it, the spirit rune has already returned to normal.
When the Red Lotus Sect people walked away, Cao Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Hiding the treasure in the Cave Heaven World was really the best choice, even if the Red Lotus Holy Envoy passed by, he didn't notice it in the slightest.
However, Cao Xiu still told Chen Shi: "Don't mention the matter last time to anyone, let alone discuss it, otherwise if people hear it, it will definitely get angry!" ”
"Okay, I understand!"
Although Chen Shi didn't know that Cao Xiu took the Red Lotus Holy Flame by hand, he was not a talkative person, so he didn't ask much, just nodded, and said: "Yesterday, my father spent more than 100 spirit stones to get a few pills for me, and I feel that I can break through the realm and advance to the innate in the next few days!" ”
"Oh? That's good news! ”
Cao Xiu was also happy for him when he heard this.
Being able to break through the acquired shackles at this age, although he is not a genius, he is already a middle-class asset among ordinary people.
And with his current age, he is just enough to meet the standards of many sects to accept disciples, and if he can successfully worship the sect, he can definitely be regarded as a glorious lintel.
It's just that there is a difference in the size of the sect, the strength and the weakness, whether you can worship a strong sect depends on personal chance.
Because those cultivation sects are not something that can be entered if you want to, in fact, any sect will go through many tests when accepting disciples, and it will only be admitted to the sect after passing the test.
However, the minor monks from ordinary families generally do not have much choice, and most of them worship the nearby sect forces.
After all, there are many monsters and beasts in the deep mountains and rivers, and there are ghosts and monsters in the wilderness, and it is not a good thing to stay away from the town if you are not enough, and if you are not careful, you will become the ration of goblins and ghosts!
Only those with extraordinary family backgrounds or talented and arrogant people will travel thousands of miles to large forces to participate in the assessment, but this kind of person is generally escorted by family elders, which is not comparable to ordinary people!
As for Cao Xiu, he had other plans in his heart!
After the two of them had eaten, they wandered around the streets, and went around a few shops that sold elixirs.
It's a pity that there is no Xiuzhenfang City in the city, otherwise Cao Xiu really wants to buy something for what he wants, unlike now, he has only seen a few elixirs from those few houses, and the prices are still a little inflated!
As for the elixir seed that Cao Xiu wanted, he didn't see it.
Therefore, Cao Xiu didn't buy anything, and seeing that it was not too early, he said goodbye to Chen Shi and went to the academy to pick up his younger brother and go home!
But when they came to the alley where they were, they couldn't help frowning.
Because the courtyard gate is wide open at this moment, there are even a few imposing guards standing outside the door.
Just as Cao Xiu and the others were about to go in, they were stopped by a young guard who stretched out his hand.
"Who are you, and why did you stop me?"
"Elder Da Luo Sect is here, no one else can disturb it!"
"Oh?"
When Cao Xiu heard this, he immediately smiled: "Okay, let's not bother!" ”
After the words fell, he pulled Cao Chong back a few steps, and stood in the alley watching them.
But soon, a cold snort came from inside: "The Cao family is really majestic, and they dare to stop people in front of me!" ”
Inside, Cao Boping, Cao Zhong'an, and an old man with white hair were all stunned when they heard this.
That old man was Cao Boping's father, Cao Huai'an, the previous head of the Cao family, and the only powerhouse of the Cao family's current supernatural realm.
He swept his mind, and immediately knew what had happened, and couldn't help but secretly complain.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, immediately confessed, walked out of the courtyard in a few steps, glared at the guards fiercely, and then pretended to be close to the two of them: "Xiu'er Chong'er, come quickly, hurry up and meet Elder Guo of the Great Luo Sect!" ”
The old slippery head didn't mention anything about Fang Cai, and directly welcomed them in.
Cao Xiu was also very interested in not arguing with the other party because of this trivial matter, and pulled his younger brother into it obediently.
"These are the two children of the near boat?"
As soon as the two of them walked into the door, they saw an old man who was not very tall, and even a little round, sitting on it.
And their mother, Wang, was standing aside, and when she heard the other party's question, she quickly nodded and replied: "It's them." ”
After saying that, he hurriedly turned his head and made a look: "The ancestor is here, why don't you two kneel down and kowtow?" ”
Cao Xiu hurriedly pulled his younger brother's sleeves and knelt on his knees: "My grandfather is above, and the junior has kowtowed to you!" ”
"Okay, okay, no need to be polite!"
Guo Houshan's originally serious face showed a bit of warmth, and with a wave of his robe, there was a soft force to hold them up.
Then he glanced at Cao Boping lightly: "Okay, since the person has found it, there is nothing to do with you, step down!" ”
"Elder......"
Cao Huai'an wanted to say something more, after all, they didn't have to worry about letting Cao Xiu's family face Elder Guo alone, otherwise if they didn't keep their promise and told the truth, they wouldn't be able to bear Elder Guo's anger.
"What, are you okay?"
Elder Guo glanced at the other party lightly.
This moment fell, Cao Huai'an, who had already cultivated to the realm of supernatural powers, only felt as if Mount Tai was overpowered, and he was so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood.
He hurriedly put away his careful thoughts: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'll retire!" ”
The words fell and hurriedly left with Cao Boping and others, lest he would be completely left behind if he took a step too late!
"Humph!"
Guo Houshan snorted lightly, but he didn't pay attention to it and let them leave.
Then he looked at Cao Xiu and the two of them, and said, "I am your father's master, since you kowtowed to me and called my ancestor, this relationship will be recognized." ”
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on his face: "Boy, what do you want to say to me now, such as how the Cao family treats you and other things?" ”
