Chapter 19, Visitors from the County

After carefully returning to the place where the Xu family was, Xu promised to climb over the fence and enter his courtyard after making sure that he was not being followed.

In the courtyard, he didn't see the maid who usually served him, and after promising to wait for his mood to calm down a little, he washed his face and walked quickly towards Xu Jinsong's house.

Along the way, the situation of the Xu family was no different from before.

They behaved very naturally, as if they had no notice of what had happened in Linya County not long ago.

As soon as he came to Xu Jinsong's house, he saw Xu Wen pacing in it irritably.

"Where's my father?" Promise asked.

"Where did you just go?" Xu Wen looked a little anxious, seemed to be very angry, and pointed to Xu Jinsong's room, "Go in and see it yourself, don't wake up your father." ”

Well?

Xu Yu came to Xu Jinsong's room, put his fingers together, and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A slightly old voice rang out in the room.

In the room stood an old man, who promised to recognize him, and bowed respectfully.

"Five Elders."

The old man in front of him is the fifth elder of the Xu family, Xu Zhihe.

This is not the first time I have met him after Promise was reborn into this world, the relationship between the Fifth Elder and Xu Jinsong is very good, so on weekdays, the Fifth Elder Xu Zhihe also cares a lot about Xu Wen and Promise.

He was also quite concerned about the promise, and from time to time he would come to the promise's mansion to explain some cultivation matters to him.

Xu Yu was also very grateful to Xu Zhihe, if it weren't for him, he felt that he would not be able to master the knowledge of cultivating immortals in this world in a short period of time.

The fifth elder Xu Zhi always giggles on weekdays, acting like an old naughty boy, but at this moment, his face seems to be surging with a dark cloud, and his whole body exudes a murderous aura.

After seeing Xu Promise, the murderous aura on Xu Zhihe's body became a little soothed.

"Tomorrow's Ascension Conference has been canceled."

"Promise, call Xu Wen, you two brothers...... After you've seen your father in a moment, you two brothers have come to me! ”

Xu Zhihe's words came out, followed by a punch that slammed into the ground, knocking a hole in the floor.

Then, Xu Zhihe stopped talking, left with a straight face, and left with anger.

He is a martial artist, and he has reached the realm of moving mountains with all his kung fu, if he just punches with all his strength, I am afraid that the entire house will collapse directly under the power of this punch.

Obviously, he took the punch.

"Noir, are you there?" Xu Jinsong's weak voice came from the back room.

Xu Yu entered when he heard the sound, and when he saw Xu Jinsong's appearance, he couldn't help but exclaim.

At this time, Xu Jinsong was lying on the bed, without his previous spirit, the whole person seemed to be more than ten years old, he was still a middle-aged person when he looked before, but now he even has gray hair on his sideburns on his forehead, just like an ordinary old man in his sixties and seventies.

He was half-naked, covered in bandages, oozing blood, apparently from a recent injury.

"How did you end up like this?"

"Ahem, help me up."

Xu Promise carefully helped Xu Jinsong to sit up from the bed, and the latter said weakly:

"Just now, there are a few monks who are in the middle of Linya County, and I failed to stop them, and my skills are not as good as others and I have suffered a little injury."

Is this still a small injury?

Looking at the terrifying wound on half of Xu Jinsong's body that was almost cut off, Xu Yue didn't know what to say for a while.

He and Xu Jinsong themselves have no family affection at all, if they have to pretend to be sad, but it is very fake, and Xu Jinsong, who is like a human spirit, may see at a glance that he is doing a fake performance.

"The Fifth Elder said that the Immortal Ascension Conference has been canceled?"

"It's not canceled, Fifth Uncle is straight-tempered, and he doesn't want you two brothers to get involved in such a dangerous plan anymore." Xu Jinsong had a little trouble speaking, and every time he spoke, he had to pause and take a breath.

"He said that the main vein of the Xu family can't be broken, and what he said is too serious, and I haven't been injured to the point of dying."

Hearing Xu Jinsong repeatedly emphasize that his injury was not serious, Xu Yue secretly raised his eyebrows.

Then, after thinking a little in his heart, he said, "Why don't you let Xu Wen in." ”

"According to common sense, if you really think that your family may fall into panic after you are seriously injured, then you should let Xu Wen take charge of some things within your ability, but now your performance is slightly contradictory."

"Hey, it would be nice if your eldest brother got a little bit of cleverness from you."

Xu Jinsong chuckled and shook his head, his face changed from pale to red, compared to the half-dead and dying state just now, it was like a different person.

"Yes, although I have suffered a small injury, it is far from my life."

Looking at Xu Jinsong, who was alive and well, he promised to chirp.

As the saying goes, care is chaos, and others will not think much about Xu Jinsong's injury, and even if it is the original owner of this body, they may not find out that Xu Jinsong is acting and pretending to be seriously injured.

"Those monks are not from Linya County, nor are they invited by the other three families, they also went to the other three families, and the heads of the other three families may have worries about their lives."

Then, his tone changed, and he continued: "If the heads of the other three families are hit hard, then it will be a good thing for us. Wait until tomorrow, the plan to destroy that corpse, the success rate will increase by a few copies again! ”

Xu Promise groaned, "You mean, the other three families originally planned to join forces against our Xu family at tomorrow's Immortal Ascension Conference?" ”

"Yes, but of course it's just my speculation based on the worst-case scenario."

"I see."

Xu Yu didn't say much, and was about to leave Xu Jinsong's house, but was stopped by him.

"Is there anything else you can do?"

"Someone in the county was unconscious before, what do you think about this?"

Promising to make his expression look normal as much as possible, he wondered, "I don't know, I heard you say this, maybe it has something to do with those foreign monks who came to Linya County?" ”

"Well, maybe. You prepare well, my Xu family may encounter resistance at tomorrow's Immortal Ascension Conference, you don't have to worry about this, and you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself about the matter of the monk's corpse, depending on the situation, I may accompany you. ”

……

After leaving Xu Jinsong's room, Xu Wen greeted him, his eyes full of worry.

"How's my father doing?"

"There shouldn't be any danger to his life, let him rest for a while."

Although Xu Yu was still communicating with Xu Wen, his heart was not calm at this time.

Just now, Xu Jinsong's tone of speaking to himself has obviously changed.

Could it be that he found something strange in his words and deeds?
