Chapter 35 [Xu Xuan]
Chapter 35 [Xu Xuan]
Ge Xian's life returned to normal, and he began to devote himself to the second semester of the highly stressful third year of high school, but he still served as a part-time guard of the ancient street, but two days on weekends were changed to one day.
Chen Churui and Liu Ying called during the period, telling him that he couldn't come back for the time being, maybe he had encountered something, and at the same time, he also knew Ge Xian's contribution before, and he was still very satisfied with his performance.
Although Ge Xian thought about whether to tell them what happened to the Immortal Cave, he finally decided to hold it off and wait until the time was right.
In fact, the current overall situation is fine, there is nothing to worry about in the ancient street now, the Zuo Dao people seem to have disappeared, and something happened to the Tai family.
The old man of Tangtai Mingxuan died of illness in the ancient years, which became a major event in Cangluo County, and almost half of the celebrities in the county went to participate in the funeral.
But unexpectedly, he didn't see Taiqi, and he seemed to have disappeared, and he didn't even attend his grandfather's funeral.
Ge Xian sighed after knowing this, this person is narrow-minded, and he is stubborn, and now he has completely offended him, it is estimated that he will definitely make trouble for him in the future, and maybe implicate his family.
Ge Xian didn't have much to do except step up his practice and hope to break through to the innate realm as soon as possible, as he experienced all kinds of difficult tests, he understood one thing more and more, in this world, only if he was strong was he really strong.
Qianji Blade has been recuperating in his dantian since he left the Immortal Cave, and rarely appears, according to his own words, it is said that he needs to complete a transformation, and there will be a huge improvement in strength at that time, so he will sleep for a while.
The rat accompanies him most of the time in the form of a chinchilla, and only when he is in the ancient street, he will be accompanied by a humanoid girl.
When practicing, Ge Xian was instructed, he only had a free trick, so he tried to teach it to the rat, but he didn't expect her talent to be good, and she could still comprehend it, which made him quite interested.
Half a year has passed in a flash, and it has once again entered the scorching sun of June, and Ge Xian's cultivation has been almost a year.
His Escape Technique had officially broken through to the sixth layer, and when he was approaching the late stage, he had already touched a trace of the innate realm. The rat rat broke through to the second layer, and in the middle stage, it still lagged behind Ge Xian a lot in terms of progress.
At the same time, Ge Xian is also about to usher in the most important thing in his current life - the college entrance examination!
During this time at school, they relaxed and no longer spurred them all the time, and Ge's father and mother at home were careful to change the law every day to make food for him.
In the evening, the couple rested early and did not watch the news, for fear of disturbing his rest.
Even Ge Honglian, who originally wanted to go home to improve her diet, was ordered by her parents not to come back in the near future, which made Ge Xian feel a little uncomfortable, and preferred to stay on the side of the ancient street.
Xu Mengjie really hasn't pestered him since she lost her temper last time, maybe she was really hurt by Ge Xian's self-esteem, Ge Xian felt that it was better and didn't want to have anything real to do with her.
The college entrance examination finally came, and everyone was looking forward to it, Ge Xian and his classmates entered the examination room together and survived the three days that decided the fate of many people.
On the day of the end, when he walked out of the examination room, he suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if he had let go of a thousand pounds of burden.
His parents didn't pay much attention to him for the time being, it seemed that the enthusiasm of the past three years had been completely consumed in the three days of exams, and Ge Xian was also happy to do so, soaking in the ancient street almost every day.
In the cultivation room, the rat brought him his favorite iced mung bean soup and a few sweet and sour snacks, but it was not hot in the secret room, perhaps because of the aura, and both of them were people with spiritual power.
After drinking a bowl of mung bean soup, Ge Xian made a satisfied sound, and the rat and mouse massaged his shoulders and neck behind his back, and said with a smile: "Master, you are a little old-fashioned now, are you worried about studying?" ”
"A little, but not all, mainly because I have been practicing for a year, and now I have touched the realm barrier, but I have never been able to break through, and I am a little anxious in my heart. The innate realm is the starting point of the monk's path to becoming a true strongman, and if I don't step into it, I can't really breathe a sigh of relief for a day. Ge Xian's worries mainly come from the Taiqi family, since the death of the old man of the Taitai family, the Tai family has once again shown a strong side, and the Xu family where Xu Mengjie is located has also suffered a big blow.
When Ge Xian saw Xu Mengjie in the examination room before, he found that she was a lot haggard, and she no longer seemed to be the usual delicate and cute girl, and when she saw Ge Xian, she just politely said hello, which made Ge Xian feel a little guilty, he always felt that he seemed to be too ruthless, and he also said at the beginning that when the other party really needed help, he would not stand idly by.
The rat still thought that he was always thinking about practicing, and comforted: "Master, you may not know much about the way of cultivation, according to the slave maid...... I understand that there are only a very small number of people who can break through from laymen to innate in a year, and they are often the core disciples of each major sect or the personal disciples of the head of the first sect or the core elders, and the masters are already good enough. ”
From the very beginning, the rat always called herself a slave, and Ge Xian asked her to change her name to "I", but sometimes she couldn't help it.
"Oh, really?" Ge Xian really didn't understand, and thought that he belonged to the category of stupid qualifications, although Zuo Daoren said that he was a Heavenly Spirit Root attribute, but he had no concept of this statement at all, until he listened to the introduction of the rat, and then he relaxed a little.
Cultivation is like this, if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, Ge Xian knows that he has invisibly committed a big taboo.
After a night of repairing, the next morning, Ge Xian returned to normal again, and was more restrained, which made the rat feel quite surprised.
A bell rang, could it be that there was any trouble in the ancient street? Ge Xian frowned slightly, but still left the secret room, and the rat and mouse quickly turned into a chinchilla form and lay on his shoulder.
When I came downstairs, I saw an acquaintance.
"Ge Xian, long time no see." Although this statement is a bit strange, from the girl's serious face, it is not obvious that it is joking.
Xu Mengjie is wearing a plain white dress today, her hair has become a lot shorter, only to the earlobe, and the makeup on her face has become much more plain than usual.
At the same time, next to her stood a man wearing a coat from the Republic of China era, with square-framed glasses, and a big back comb, with a composite temperament of a literati and a businessman.
"This is my father, Xu Xuan, the chairman of the Xu Group." Xu Mengjie introduced to Ge Xian.
Ge Xian was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why Xu Mengjie's father and daughter would come to the door together, but he still quickly showed a smile, bowed and saluted: "Hello uncle, I am Xu Mengjie's classmate Ge Xian." ”
"Hahaha...... Sure enough, it's a talent, Ge Xian, today my father and daughter took the liberty to come to the door to discuss something, I don't know if I can have time to sit nearby now? Although Xu Xuan is meeting for the first time, compared with Xu Mengjie, he is more free and straightforward, and it is easy to win people's favor.
Ge Xian naturally agreed, and followed their father and daughter to a teahouse next to them.
In the ancient street, in addition to antiques and ancient books, of course, there are also food and drink, but the catering here is not like the outside, most of them are teahouses, coffee houses, etc., and minors are generally not accepted.
Xu Xuan obviously asked Ge Xian for something, and ordered a sumptuous lunch, in fact, there was still an hour before lunch, looking at the table full of valuable exquisite dishes and snacks, Ge Xian did not move the chopsticks first, but looked at Xu Xuan and Xu Mengjie.
"Uncle Xu, and Xu Mengjie, I'm just an ordinary person, but I've just practiced some kung fu, I have no power, no power, and no money, if I can help, I will take action as appropriate, as for those who can't help, I can't help." Ge Xian felt that he had to speak clearly, otherwise it would be even more troublesome if people misunderstood.
Xu Mengjie's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed, Xu Xuan was very well-cultivated, opened a paper fan, and gently supplied air, which was not hot in the air-conditioned room at this time.
"Dad, forget it." Xu Mengjie said.
Xu Xuan shook his head, but said with appreciation: "Ge Xian, you are very different, unlike other peers, you like to boast about your skills if you have a little ability, you are very self-aware and also know that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, very good, this is where we like you." ”
"Thank you, uncle, I won the award, but my parents told me that I have a big stomach and eat as much as I eat, otherwise I won't be able to stand it." Ge Xian replied implicitly.
Xu Xuan laughed loudly, put away the paper fan, raised a glass of wine, and said arrogantly: "Uncle likes to communicate with people who understand, Ge Xian, after drinking this cup first, Uncle will let go and tell you, how about it?" Even if you refuse us later, Uncle won't be angry. ”
"That'...... Okay, just have a drink. Ge Xian nodded, the words were all on the table, and it was difficult to explain if he didn't drink it.
Picking up the wine glass, the wine was clear, he looked at the rat and mouse quietly, and the rat nodded after smelling it, indicating that there was no problem, and Ge Xian drank it all.
When the wine entered his throat, he suddenly burned, like swallowing a fire, this was the first time Ge Xian had drunk liquor.
However, fortunately, the wine was only uncomfortable when it passed through the throat, and when it reached the stomach, it was quickly dissolved by Ge Xian with spiritual power, and finally forced the alcohol out of the body surface and turned into beads of sweat, so Ge Xian just drank a glass of water quite a bit.
"Good amount of alcohol!" Xu Xuan also took a sip, and couldn't help frowning, this glass of wine is actually a lot, there are two taels, and although this wine is not a top brand, it is a famous local wine, called "Cangluo Immortal Brew", the alcohol content is 56, although the entrance is soft, it belongs to the semi-fermented type, and the stamina is very large.
Therefore, people who have just started drinking this kind of alcohol, if they don't pay attention, will suffer a lot.
After drinking this cup, Xu Xuan glanced at Xu Mengjie and motioned for her to go out first, although Ge Xian felt a little strange, but since they were father and daughter, there was nothing to say.
Xu Mengjie left the box a little dullly, and when she walked past Ge Xian's side, she took the mouse away, Ge Xian was a little stunned, and the mouse couldn't react, but fortunately, Ge Xian gave her a look and asked her to be patient, not to transform or something, otherwise it would cause unnecessary trouble.
She finally smiled smugly, hugged the rat to her chest, and raised her slightly sharp chin in a demonstrative gesture towards Ge Xian.
"Little girl Meng Lang, I hope you don't take it to heart." Xu Xuan's tone sounded a little flattering, and Ge Xian's mind became more calm.
"Uncle, if there's anything, tell me." Ge Xian's eyes showed their essence, and Xu Xuan on the opposite side suddenly felt oppressed, and he had a feeling of being seen through, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
He secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, he is a person from outside the square, and he does have some real materials, and this momentum alone is better than many masters.
So Xu Xuan sorted out his throat, coughed, and said: "Ge Xian, I won't tell you, my daughter is quite accurate in seeing people, about a year ago, she mentioned you to me, saying that you are a little different, I thought she was really in love." ”
Speaking of this, Ge Xian smiled a little helplessly, and then calculated the time, which happened to be the time when he began to cultivate the Easy Technique.
Xu Xuan continued: "After that, I heard her mention you many times, especially after what happened to Taiqi, I decided to bet on you. ”
"Me?" Ge Xian felt very curious, he obviously had nothing to do with their Xu family, why did he bet on himself?
Xu Xuan explained: "Everyone thinks that our Xu family is the minions of the Shantai family, and no matter how ugly it is, there is a lackey, but in fact, our Xu family has always wanted to get out of the control of the Xu family, but we have been suffering from not having enough strength until you appear." ”
"Uncle, are you exalting me too much, I'm just a flat-headed commoner." Ge Xian looked at him cautiously.
Xu Xuan shook his head and said, "We investigated your ......" Seeing Ge Xian's sharp eyes, he immediately explained: "I beg your pardon, in fact, since you came to prominence, the powerful families in Cangluo County have investigated you, and they all want to know why you have become different?" ”
"So did you find it?" Ge Xian asked without emotion.
Xu Xuan shook his head and nodded again, a little contradictory, Ge Xian listened to him continue to explain: "Your change came from a year ago, and the location should be this ancient street, but we can't be sure that it was the specific place or person of the ancient street that made you change, this may always be a mystery." Our investigation of you is far less than that of other families, because when it comes to the privacy of your family, we did not do it, but only conducted an investigation against you. ”
Hearing this, although he didn't know whether it was true or not, he dared to say this to the other party, which also won Ge Xian's favor, and at the same time, his impression of the other powerful families in Cangluo County was suddenly greatly reduced, his family was an existence that needed to be guarded, these people ...... What a guts!
Thinking of this, Ge Xian's invisibly angry anger made the air in the box become solemn, and the table top even cracked a gap, passing through it completely, and all the bowls and chopsticks were all divided into two.
This skill made Xu Xuan frightened for a while, but then he showed surprise again, he bet right.
"Sorry for ruining the table." Ge Xian recovered from his gaffe and said apologetically.
Xu Xuan immediately shook his head and comforted: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about this little thing." He quickly called the waiter and directly changed the wine and food and the table, but the waiter and the owner of the teahouse were a little puzzled by how the two of them drank and ate the table and all the wine and food.
After the change, Ge Xian looked at Xu Xuan and asked, "Uncle, the Ming people don't say secret words, what do you want me to help with, please say it directly." ”
"Okay, our Xu family wants to ask you to help with your fist." Xu Xuan said bluntly, and then added: "The price is one million!" ”
Ge Xian's eyelids jumped, he didn't expect the Xu family to invite him so generously, although he now has the ability to resist the amount of money of 100,000 or 200,000, but after all, one million still has a huge impact.
"Uncle, I know that your Xu family is very rich, but to tell the truth, even if you give me one million, I can't spend it, and my name is not right." Ge Xian had to say that he was still moved, but he was also very troubled, this million was given to him, and the most he could do was to buy digital products and medicinal materials needed for practice, but in fact, he wanted to improve his family's life.
Three generations of the Ge family, has been living in a low-rent house, it is indeed a little cramped, after the eldest brother started to work, in order for Ge Xian to live more comfortably, he had to move out to live, for this reason and his parents had a conflict, and later got married and rarely interacted with the family, if the house was big enough at that time, Ge Xian believed that the eldest brother would not be so stiff with the family.
After hearing this, Xu Xuan showed a mysterious smile on his face and said: "This is simple, our Xu Group has always had charity projects to help poor students complete their studies, and we can tailor several awards for you to ensure that the bonuses you get are justified." Moreover, I also know that Ge Xian, your grades are better than Mengjie, and the college entrance examination will most likely become a hot topic, and our Xu Group can also use this to get wet, how about it? ”
is worthy of being a profiteer, oh, no, Ge Xian apologized silently, and then smiled and took the initiative to raise a glass and said, "Uncle Yingming, I don't know what the opponent's situation is?" ”
In fact, he originally had the intention of helping Xu Mengjie once, and it would be better if the Xu family could take the initiative to come to the door, so that the favors between people would be equal, of course, since Ge Xian cultivated, the whole person has become a lot smarter, and there are even no traces in the handling of some things, such as Xu Xuan, the old fox, who was tricked this time.
Xu Xuan continued: "The Xu family has had dealings with the Yin family in the provincial capital for a long time, but they are all secret contacts, the ancestors of the Yin family are from the imperial merchants, and many powerful people in the Shendu have in-law relations. ”
At this moment, Xu Xuan was proud, although his behavior of defecting to the Yin family was actually just a change of allegiance to the master, but this may be the way for the Xu family to survive, and it is also the way for countless business families to survive.
"The Yin family we took is the youngest son of the current head of the Yin family, Yin Zhengtian, this person is less than thirty years old, young and promising, and he is also a practicing family, famous in the underground martial arts, it is said that some people have seen him fight with the lion and tiger with his bare hands and not defeated, and he has a group of martial arts people around him. If our Xu family wants to take refuge in him, we must abide by his rules, and two days later, isn't the virtuous nephew going to participate in the final graduation trip? At that time, I will take my virtuous nephew to a certain place to meet this young master of the Yin family, how about it? ”
"Then I'm tired of my uncle." Ge Xian also became interested in the Yin family, and then the two of them got drunk, of course, the real drunk was only Xu Xuan.
