Chapter 049: The Makino Family
The three of them went down the mountain where the spiritual veins were located, and their hearts were sad.
"Do we really need to spend five days bringing him nine thousand fourth-order minerals? To be honest, we really don't know much about him. Gongsun Chen hesitated.
"I understand your concerns. However, he didn't explain the purpose of these nine thousand fourth-order minerals, but it only took us five days to get them together, and if he wanted to kill us, he would have done it a long time ago. Besides, I don't think he's an ordinary monk, and he's going to soar to the sky in the future. Takeshi Makino said.
Ximen Qingze nodded and agreed, "I think what Brother Muye said is right, the three of us have a low status in the family, and we are nominally young masters, but the young masters of the major families are as few as dozens or as many as hundreds, which is nothing at all." If the family does not give support, it is difficult for us to achieve the desired goals by relying only on our own efforts. ”
"Yes, Wei Feng, I can see that he is not only stronger than us in terms of strength, I believe in my judgment. Moreover, even if he can't soar into the sky, with his qualifications, his potential in the future is unlimited, at least he can form a shelter for us, I don't say it casually. "Takeshi Makino has a straightforward personality and insists on his own opinions.
Seeing that Makino Takeshi was so determined, Gongsun Chen didn't say much more.
"It's just three thousand pieces of fourth-order minerals for one person, the amount is too huge, how can we get it within five days?" Gongsun Chen said worriedly.
Although the shili of the eight-part general family and three thousand fourth-order minerals are like a drop in the bucket, the three of them have a low status in the family, and they rarely have the support of family resources on weekdays, which is really difficult for them.
Takeichi Makino gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, use the family teleportation, return to the family directly, and ask my father for help, no matter what, we are all young masters, and we have to get soft grinding and hard bubbles." ”
"What? Use the family teleportation? That can only be used in times of crisis, and there is a limit to the number of times, with our status, only once a year. Moreover, Ximen Qing and I are far inferior to you, and we are also major in the elixir and refining weapon, and our status in the family is even lower. Gongsun Chen's face was solemn and he said.
"How much can you get, time is limited, let's take care of the big head first. Takeshi Makino was very resolute and said, "No matter what, take a gamble!"
The three of them were separated, and they directly used the family teleportation, and after half a pillar of incense, Takeshi Makino returned to the Makino family.
Although half of the disciples of the Western Emperor Blessed Land are children of the family, the major families are not in the boundary of the Western Emperor Blessed Land, but are distributed in other parts of the West Wasteland, and the shili are also different.
Led by the three major families of Dongfang, Huangfu and Nangong, Shili far surpasses the other five families, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Shili of the Eight General Family is much stronger than the other families, no matter how bad it is.
Makino Takeshi and the other three are all young masters, and they are naturally the sons of the head of the family, but due to the different status of their mothers and the differences in their own qualifications, the heads of the family are all cultivated on the basis of merit, and even the young masters with poor qualifications like Takeshi Makino are not as good as other children in the family.
The Makino family is located in the southeast, with a vast territory, a lot of resources, and a population of nearly 100,000, compared to other continent families, it is also considered a dominant shili, but the number of high-level monks directly affects the strength of the family, which is an immutable law.
"Young master, you ...... Why are you back?"
When Takeshi Makino appeared in the Takeshi Makino, all the slaves were surprised, it is said that with Takeshi Makino's status as a family, he did not get a summons and returned to the family without authorization, which was a big crime, and it was obviously a forced use of the only family teleportation, and he didn't know what happened.
Makino Takeshi is used to the eyes of these people, if he is the son of the family, he is afraid that he would have beaten the gong and drum a long time ago, and he knows what they want to say when he looks like they want to say and stop.
"I have an urgent matter and ask to see the head of the house. Takeshi Makino didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, and said directly.
After all, he returned to the family from the sect without authorization, and he didn't take care of it anyway, and he didn't need to talk nonsense with these shili family slaves. But for the sake of those three thousand fourth-order minerals, this is the most convenient way right now, and if you want to fight or punish them, you can wait until you get these minerals.
After all, Takeshi Makino is the identity of the young master, and his words still have a certain effect, and there are domestic slaves to go to the ceremony at the moment, and before getting the next instructions, Takeshi Makino can't move around the family without permission.
After a stick of incense, the house slave returned, "The master of the house is gone!"
Although the head of the family is his father, he is not a son who is treated well, he has no special qualifications, and his performance since the cultivation has been poor, so it is normal that he is not taken seriously.
Takeshi Makino was furious at this time, but after enduring it for a while, he still gave up, obviously knowing that his father had more important things, and he didn't even bother to mention punishment.
"It seems that the only way to go and ask to see my mother first!" Makino Takeshi hesitated, and finally came back to see his mother, as for the matter of minerals, he could only wait for his father to be free, and then go to discuss.
The head of the big family, with a group of wives and concubines, I'm afraid Takeshi Makino doesn't know how many wives his mother is, and more or less, Takeshi Makino has hatred for his father.
"My mother can't cultivate, and as he gets older, he doesn't necessarily have a good life, while my father has cultivated to a very high level and has lived for more than 300 years, and obviously he still has a lot of years to go. ”
Fortunately, Takeshi Makino's father did not pursue it, as his young master, since he returned to the family without permission and was not condemned, it is understandable to go to visit his mother, at least the rest of the family can only gossip at most, but they are not qualified to be punished.
"Mother is left out!"
Makino Takeshi turned into the backyard, his mother's residence was located in the depths of the mansion, very remote, turned east and west before walking outside the courtyard of his mother's residence, looking at the gloom inside and outside the courtyard, he knew that after he entered the blessed land of the West Emperor, his mother's life was not easy.
"It's all my fault!"
Takeshi Makino squeezed his fists hard, and his heart was indignant, but there was nothing he could do. The road to cultivation is difficult and difficult, not only ambition can spread its wings, qualifications and opportunities are the biggest shortcuts on the road of cultivation, but they don't have either.
Cleaning up his mood, Makino Takecai lightly tapped on the door of his mother's residence, and only after half a moment did he get a response from the maid.
"Wu'er, why are you back?" Makino Takeshi's mother, Zhang, is nearly forty years old, not as good as a middle-aged woman, even if she is pampered, it will be difficult to fight against the years after all. "Have you seen the master of the house?"
In his mother's heart, his father is the head of the family, not her husband, Takeshi Makino had mixed feelings in his heart, but in the end he didn't show it, just smiled honestly.
"My mother is worried, my father is too busy, and he will not have time to see me in the future. So I'm going to come and see you first, and when my father has time to see me, I will have a chance to ask for it. Takeshi Makino helped his mother, slowly walked to the hall and sat down, and comforted.
When Zhang first saw his son, although his face was anxious, but it was more of a surprise, and he heard that the head of the family was not free, so he was relieved, stroked his son's cheek, and said with concern, "You have been away from home for five or six years, and your mother has always missed you, but your mother knows that you bear the expectations of the head of the family, and she can only wait for you to come back." ”
While speaking, Zhang's eyes were full of tears, but he wiped his tears with a smile on his face for a while, and said again and again, "Look at me, I'm so excited, I'm excited when I talk about it, I'm very good for my mother, don't forget the instructions of the head of the family, you must practice hard!"
Listening to his mother's words, Takeshi Makino was like a knife in his heart, the head of the family in his mother's mouth was the mountain in his mother's heart, everything had to be the head of the family, and his five or six years of cultivation had only improved a small realm, and he had already lost his father's expectations, and his mother was gradually neglected because of his own performance.
"Mother, don't worry, my son and I practice hard every day, and I don't dare to delay for a moment. Takeshi Makino gritted his teeth and held back his tears.
"Okay, that's good. How long can you stay when you go home this time?" Zhang was also relieved to hear her son's comfort, she believed that her son had been working hard.
Looking at his mother's expectant eyes, Makino Takeshi didn't dare to tell the truth, but said, "It depends on what my father means, if my cultivation improves rapidly in the future, I will definitely be able to come back to accompany my mother more time." ”
"Okay, okay, as long as you're okay, you'll be very happy as a mother. ”
After all, Zhang is just an ordinary person, and he will not understand the cruelty of the cultivation world, many things, far from being made up by hard work, but if you don't work hard, you will never be able to make up for it.
After all, there are fewer gatherings and more separation, and Takeshi Makino did not ask to see his father frequently, but spent three days, all of which were spent accompanying his mother.
Embarking on the path of cultivation, growing in cultivation day by day, whether it is a soaring sky in the end, or dying, as a mortal mother, she will always walk ahead of herself, thinking about this, Makino Takeshi can't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
"When is the head of the house free?" Takeshi Makino would ask about the house slaves around his father every day to inquire about his father's situation, but apparently his father never had time to see him.
"The master of the family has a life, let the young master wait for the dispatch, there is no need to come and bother every day!" The slave beside the master of the family has a higher status than the average house slave, even in the face of Makino Takeshi, who is the young master, he can't hide his commanding attitude.
Living in such an environment, Takeshi Makino had long been used to it when he was a child, and he didn't bother to worry about his subordinates, but now he only had two days, and his father didn't see him anymore, so he could only return to the sect to see Wei Feng almost empty-handed.
"No matter what, cultivation is the guarantee of everything, if I can't succeed in cultivation, my mother will also suffer with me, this time I must take advantage of the guard. Takeshi Makino said secretly in his heart.
On the fourth day, Takeshi Makino still couldn't see his father, and after thinking about it again, he had to give up.
"Forget it, after returning to the sect, you can still make up some, waiting here is not a way at all!"
In the end, Takeshi Makino could only decide to give up the idea of looking for family help, but in this way, the three thousand fourth-order minerals would not be able to be completed no matter what.
"The head of the family has an order, and the young master is instructed to go immediately!"
