Chapter 41: Six Hundred Years
When Huaqiu saw him like this, he wanted to persuade him again, but suddenly a disciple from the entrance said, "The head of the Shu family in Yuanzhou has arrived!" β
The noise in the venue suddenly stopped, and countless pairs of eyes looked at the people who came in at the entrance, they were brightly dressed, gold or blue, and they were not limited to one color, only embroidered with phoenixes on the sleeves or skirts.
The residents of Yuanzhou worship the phoenix, and in the local immortal cultivation family and sect, the Shu family is not only the Shu family with the phoenix family tattoo, but the Shu family has been inherited for many years, and the heritage and strength are not comparable to ordinary immortals, so when it comes to the phoenix totem, the first thing that is remembered is often the Shu family.
The vague gaze flowed back and forth between Shu Wen who led the team and Liu Xubai on the high platform, and some eyes quietly fell on the girl behind Yan Changan.
Who doesn't know that Shu Wen's sister died in the Cangyuan Sword Sect sacrificing the sword, and since then the Shu family and Cangyuan have been at odds, although for outsiders, their Hua Fairy is a great achievement, and will always be remembered by the world, Liu Xubai is also precisely because of this sword, if there is divine help, he will successfully kill the Demon Venerable.
But for relatives whose blood is thicker than water, those who have benefited from being caught in the middle are not qualified to say anything about the grievances between the two parties.
When many old people from 600 years ago saw the face of Shu Nong hiding behind Yan Chang'an, they were so shocked that they took half a step back on the spot, and they couldn't close their mouths for a long time, and their eyes stayed on her in disbelief.
No wonder Liu Xubai's attention has always been here.
Now that the Shu family has entered, the eyes of several old people who are eager to verify her identity are burning, as if they want to burn a hole in Shu Nong's back, secretly hoping that the Shu family can turn their eyes over.
It's a pity that the Shu family didn't get their wish, Shu Wen took people without squinting and went straight down to the high platform.
Over there, Huaqiu had already taken a few elders down the high platform, and the two groups of people saluted each other politely, Huaqiu habitually stroked his beard, and said with a kind smile: "I haven't congratulated Master Shu on inheriting the position of the head of the family, the succession ceremony a few days ago, Cangyuan has not arrived, and I still hope that Haihan, the head of the Shu family." β
"No problem." Shu Wen's face was polite, but the words he said were merciless, "The mother of the family thinks about her daughter and becomes ill, and the father is worried about her body, so he has no choice but to unload the burden of the head of the family and accompany the mother to travel far away to heal. As for the succession ceremony, Sect Master Hua doesn't have to worry, I'm glad that your sect won't come. β
When his words fell, the already quiet venue was even quieter, and everyone's eyes were gathered here, never expecting that Shu Wen would let the sect master of the Cangyuan Sword Sect not come down on the spot.
Hua Qiu only felt that this atmosphere was about to suffocate him, and the hand that stroked his beard was also slightly paused, and he was about to sigh and answer, Shu Wen smiled gently, and said softly: "Of course, please also ask Sect Master Hua not to misunderstand, I have no opinion on you and your sect disciples." β
He paused for a moment and added with a smile: "Almost." β
Hua Qiu held back, but still couldn't hold back a sigh.
There are few opinions.
The difference between Shu Wen's words and his words is on whom, and who is present does not know it.
So Qi brushed his eyes and went to Liu Xubai, who was standing beside Huaqiu without saying a word, some people sighed like Huaqiu, some people understood the Shu family's approach, and some people supported Liu Xubai, thinking that the Shu family had no righteousness, Shu Nong was sacrificing for the common people in the world, it was glory, even for the Shu family, it was a glorious thing.
Hua Qiu turned sideways slightly and made a "please" gesture: "Master Shu, please take a seat." β
Shu Wen bowed to him and thanked him, but did not follow the direction of his gesture to the high platform, but turned to look at the entrance, as if he was waiting for someone.
Hua Qiu's gaze followed his gaze to the entrance.
After a while, the voice of the disciple who was in charge of reporting at the door rose again: "The young master of the Song family in Yuanzhou has arrived." β
These words were like a pebble thrown on the calm surface of the lake, which immediately caused ripples, and the deliberately suppressed discussion was everywhere in the venue.
"Yuanzhou Song family? Which Song family? β
"Tsk...... Which Song family is there in Yuanzhou, Song Lin's Song family! β
"Huh? It's not that he doesn't participateβ"
As he spoke, a figure of a person had already appeared at the entrance.
The main color of the Song family's disciple's uniform is red, just standing there, it will take most of everyone's attention, only the person who leads the team, his face is like a crown of jade, but he is only wearing a plain uniform, standing in the first place, which is in stark contrast with the disciple behind him, and it is incompatible.
He led people to Shuwen and Huaqiu, and the courtesy was thoughtful.
Hua Qiu then asked the two of them to go to the high platform, Song Lin had no opinion, but when he passed by Liu Xubai, the two looked at each other, and no one could guess what the other party was thinking.
When these people climbed the high platform, the crowd became lively again, Shu Nong was behind Yan Changan, most of her body was covered by Yan Changan, and the surrounding people were mixed, she raised her head slightly, and cast her eyes on the high platform, and she could see into the eyes of several people at a glance.
As his gaze wandered, Shu Nong was caught off guard and met Song Lin's gaze.
He was on the high platform, staring at her with lowered eyes, seemingly calm, but the muscles of his face twitched slightly uncontrollably, as if he was restraining something, Shu Nong only paused for a moment, and then looked away calmly.
Song Lin couldn't calm down for a long time.
He knew it was Shu Nong.
Half a month ago, a letter from the Shu family lay on his desk, and every word in the course focused on describing a girl from Wutong Mountain named Su Buxi.
Shu Wenxin did not tell him for sure that Su did not hesitate to have a relationship with Shu Nong, but he was adopted by the Shu family at the age of five, and then accompanied Shu Nong day and night for thirteen years.
It turned out to be six hundred years old.
Song Lin retracted his gaze and fell on the boundless sky, only to feel that time flew by, time flew by, and he had been stagnant for six hundred years, and finally began to flow again.
When the Xianmen arrived, Liu Xubai, the first person in the Xianmen, said a few words, and Huaqiu followed closely to announce the start of the big exam.
"Day 1, shoot!"
Several disciples with excellent archery skills rushed to the other side to open up a special venue for the "shooting" discipline.
Shu Nong turned against the crowd and turned to leave, but Yan Changan followed without saying a word.
She was a little surprised: "You don't want to compete? β
Yan Changan shook his head slightly: "I'm not good at it." β
"There can be something you're not good at." Shu Nong chuckled lightly and went to the Wensheng Hall with him, "In that case, how did you study pastries two days ago?" β
Yan Changan was speechless.
The cultivation time he had arranged for himself in the previous two days had doubled several times, and the time he could set aside to study pastries was only a little bit that he had squeezed out, so naturally there were no good results.
He planned to sprinkle the chili pepper directly into the noodles, although he didn't know if it would work, but more importantly, he made peace with the noodles, and he was stuck in the fire, and Shu Nong made a fuss that he had to make it himself, and he couldn't pretend to borrow the hands of others, so he could only try it over and over again.
