"I don't know much about the authority of the stars."

Hong Fan replied.

"But after seeing off the Sand Star-King, I did suddenly have the ability to control the sand."

As soon as these words came out, he noticed that both Hong Wu and Hong Li's bodies were slightly tense.

The so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing.

"Does this pot of flowers matter?"

Hong Fan's gaze scanned, and finally landed on a pot of yellow flowers by the window.

Hong Jian understood what he meant, and replied: "You are casual, but it is just an ordinary bonsai transplanted from the garden." ”

"Okay."

The three of them listened to Hong Fan's soft answer, and stretched out their hands to make a void move.

The flower pot two meters away suddenly trembled.

Under the yellow flowers and green leaves, the moist soil quickly dehydrates and dissolves sand, separates all humus, and floats into the air.

As soon as Hong Fan shook his five fingers, this ball of new sand was captured in the air and swirled into a ball above his palm.

"Sure enough, it's the ...... of the sand world"

Hong Li witnessed this familiar supernatural power with his own eyes, and he couldn't stop muttering.

Even the most introverted Hong Jian sighed lightly at this time, and there was a bit of reminiscence in his eyes.

After the three elders confirmed the doubt, Hong Fan pushed it with his hand, and the sand ball rolled back into the basin silently, and one was not messy.

"Okay, good, Zulong and my Hong family are not thin!"

Hong Wu slapped his thigh, first with uncontrollable joy, and then showed a trace of fear.

"Such a big thing, nephew, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"This time into the Golden Sea, if you are caught in those seas, it will be a ......"

Hearing Hong Wu's words, Hong Li's face also tensed.

"I heard that you used to go out of the city and into the mountains to cultivate alone?"

He asked with a frown, slightly reproachful.

"Back to my uncle, I didn't say it before, but I didn't mean to hide it."

Hong Fan replied.

"It's just that this sand control magic power was extremely weak when it first came from, and I can't be sure where it came from, I just thought there was something abnormal, and I only dared to secretly familiarize myself with it first."

"As for going out of the city to cultivate, the first is that I don't dare to show the sand world, and the second is that I am eating more and more, and I can go to the mountains to cultivate and hunt along the way and save money."

Most of the content of these sentences is true feelings, but the key motives are slightly vague, so they are said by Hong Fan to be particularly sincere.

There was silence again in the study.

Before deciding to summon Hong Fan, several people in the Hong family had of course re-understood this junior from many aspects.

So they know that the words "hunting" and "saving money" are all true.

There are even more truths that young people can and should have said, but have not taken the opportunity to say them.

This is exactly the scale that Hong Fan wants to grasp.

"Alas, you are so cautious at a young age, it can be seen that you have not suffered less."

Hongwu's fists tightened slightly, and he sighed.

He is the city judge of Jinhai City, responsible for the punishment of thieves, and his observation has always been outstanding.

From the "patriarch" title that Hong Fan used when he faced Hong Jian at the beginning, to the self-proclaimed "I" instead of the seniority when facing the three of their elders, he already had a judgment in his heart.

"When there is an abnormality in the juniors in the family, the first thing that comes to mind is not to tell us elders, but to choose to carry it alone, which is our fault."

Hong Wu raised his head and said to his brother, this "we" obviously meant something.

On the other side, Hong Li also raised his eyebrows.

Hong Jian nodded heavily when he heard this, and said, "This is my fault. ”

His voice was still rough, but it smelled much less bloody than that of He Shengjie.

got his words, Hong Li and Hong Wu's faces immediately calmed down.

"Fan'er, when you come back this time, have you noticed any changes?"

After Hong Jian admitted his mistake calmly, he asked again.

His tone was straight, and there was no difference in the affection of the father to the son.

Hong Fan knew what the other party was asking, and replied truthfully: "Since I came back, my combat power has increased, and I have broken through a serious situation compared to before I set off. ”

After hearing this, the three exchanged glances, each excited.

"That's right, the same was true of the sand prince in the past!"

Hong Wu clenched his fist in the palm of his hand and said urgently.

"This incident can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune."

He raised his glass and drank the tea in one gulp, then looked at Hong Fan.

"Since you brought the news back, the three families have been investigating separately, and they caught the inner ghost last night."

"The people of the Chi family are doing things in the caravan."

"The news of our operation was exchanged for two hundred taels of silver by him - our people were one step late, so the man who killed a thousand knives hanged himself, and in the end he was not saved."

"Cheap him!"

Hong Wu slapped the handrail hard.

He said these words very formally, not exactly an explanation from the elders to the juniors, but as if he was giving an explanation.

Hong Fan nodded, but the unfinished meaning between his eyebrows could be seen by all three.

"Hong Fan, if you want to ask, just ask boldly, our Hong family can still take care of things in Jinhai!"

Hong Li poured the cold tea in front of the young man and replaced it with a new one, and said lightly.

"Is it a festival with Li Xingfa and Chi Yinglang?"

The Li Xingfa and Chi Yinglang in the old man's mouth were the two knights who attacked Hong Fan when he returned to the city before.

"No, they just lost their robes and grieved, where can they say it's a festival?"

Hong Fan shook his head first, and then asked.

"Our Liangzhou and the snake people have been attacking and killing constantly, and we have been in a lot of blood debts for thousands of years."

"Now that the old star monarch has passed away, isn't there any reaction from the snake man's side?"

This was a question that was more than everyone in the study had expected.

Even Hong Li couldn't have imagined that this disciple who had just come out of clan studies would have his vision here.

"Nephew don't worry."

Hong Wu replied with a light smile.

"A few years ago, the Sand Star Monarch went deep into the Snake Swamp, and those frontier settlements were all broken bones."

"Now they are in civil strife, and five or six clans are at loggerheads; Based on the current situation, it is estimated that there will be no threat in three to five years. ”

His original intention was to reassure his nephew.

But he didn't expect Hong Fan to verify the conjecture and ask again.

"So the three of us have been hearing from the snake people?"

This is a question based on inherited memory.

The estrangement between the snake people and the Chinese ethnic group is well known to men, women and children in the Liangzhou frontier.

The first barrier is the Gimhae Desert, while the second is language.

Due to the vocal organs, the snake and the human race cannot learn each other's words - unless they are the blood nobles of the snake people, or the middle and high-level warriors of the human race.

Hong Fan's question not only made the three elders silent again, but also slightly changed their condescending attitude.

"The fate star is in position, it seems to be a ...... that has been picked"

Hong Wu sighed, surprised by the sharpness of his juniors.

"Big brother, my nephew is 'in the cone bag, and the end is immediately seen'!"

On the other side, Hong Li also shook his head and laughed, raised his eyebrows, and motioned to the kid not to let go of the second cup of tea he poured.

Seeing that Hong Fan had dried up the tea, he said, "What do you want to ask, just say it." ”

"We have trade with the snake people?"

Hong Fan lowered his voice and finally asked the key.

"Does the court know?"

One arrow.

There was silence in the room.

Hong Wu drank tea in a cup, as if embarrassed - he had just revealed his words.

According to the convention, the three elders should be reprimanded with a sentence of "not something you should care about".

But Hong Fan is no one else, he is the star monarch given to the Hong family by Zulong, and he shows a heart that is obviously beyond his age.

After a moment, Hong Jian broke the silence.
