............
Thinking about these things in his heart in an instant, Du Feiyun's expression still did not change, and he calmly asked the old lady: "I don't know this idea of the old lady, does the head of the Liu family know the way?"
Mrs. Liu naturally understood the meaning of Du Feiyun's words, and immediately said solemnly with a majestic face: "Hmph! Grandma, I'm not dead yet, how dare he disobey my grandmother and my will, the master of the Liu family, I still deserve it!"
As soon as Mrs. Liu said this, Du Feiyun understood that Liu Xiangtian must not agree to this proposal, but Mrs. Liu lost her temper and suppressed Liu Xiangtian with her mother-in-law.
Thinking of this, Du Feiyun smiled slightly, and then bent down towards Old Taijun Liu and said, "Feiyun is very grateful for Old Taijun's kindness, but now Feiyun and her sister have grown up and are good enough to take care of their mother." Moreover, we have been accustomed to this kind of life for so many years, so we don't go to live in the high-gate compound of the Liu family. ”
The look in Mrs. Liu's eyes gradually dimmed, obviously a little lost, and together with Sister-in-law Lin, she persuaded Du Feiyun several times, but he had made up his mind, and in the end, Mrs. Liu had to turn her head and cast a look at Du Shi for help.
Seeing Mrs. Liu looking at herself, Du Shi only smiled apologetically at her mother and said: "Mother, the so-called unmarried from the father, married from the husband, and the husband from the son." Now that Feiyun has grown up, I follow his advice. ”
Seeing that Du Shi also agreed with Du Feiyun's decision, Mrs. Liu could only sigh helplessly, and her eyes were full of loss that could not be concealed. After that, Mrs. Liu seemed to remember something again, and immediately asked Du Feiyun: "By the way, when I learned that it was Feiyun who cured my illness that day, my grandmother has been curious, Feiyun, when did you learn such a wonderful medical skill?"
"This ......" Du Feiyun was a little hesitant, not knowing how to answer.
Fortunately, Du Shi relieved him in a timely manner. Xu is thinking of his son's changes and progress during this time, Du Shi's face was full of pride and relief, and he said to Liu Lao Taijun with a smile on his face: "Mother, you may not know the way, Feiyun has been favored by his predecessors and has been accepted as a disciple. Now, Feiyun has not only learned a superb martial art, but his strength has also reached the realm of the sixth layer of body refining! Moreover, the method of curing your condition a few days ago was taught to him by that senior master!"
"Oh, is it? Oh, that's great!" Hearing Du Shi's words, Old Taijun Liu's face suddenly showed a look of joy, and his cloudy eyes also flashed with excitement, looking Du Feiyun up and down.
As soon as he heard his mother say this, it was too late for Du Feiyun to stop his mother from revealing his details. The young man with mediocre qualifications has rapidly improved his strength in just half a month, and he has jumped two layers in a row to reach the sixth layer of strength in the refining period, and anyone who hears about it will inevitably be suspicious.
Du Feiyun has always pursued a low-key criterion and resolutely does not let himself be in the limelight in front of others, because the eye-catching end is often watched by others, and there will inevitably be no good results. Now that his mother has revealed his old truth, it is difficult not to attract attention now.
However, can this blame the mother for talking too much? Obviously, she can't! The son's qualifications are mediocre, and he has always been looked down upon and despised by others, and Du Shi is naturally very sad in his heart. Now that his son is able to see the moon and see the moon, his strength has soared into the sky, and the Du family is naturally honored. Under this joy, it was inevitable that he praised his son in front of Mrs. Liu, and naturally vented his bottom.
However, Du Shi naturally knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and he will definitely not talk about these things to outsiders. However, Mrs. Liu is her own mother, and she is not an outsider, what can't be said about this? Du Feiyun also understands this truth, so he can only smile bitterly, but he can't criticize his mother for anything, after all, this is human nature.
Mrs. Liu walked up to Du Feiyun with a relieved face, put her hands on his shoulders, and said to him with a solemn face: "Feiyun, although you don't want to go back to Liu's house with me, grandma doesn't ask for anything. But now my grandmother solemnly begs you, and I hope you can fulfill her only wish for your mother's sake!"
Seeing that Old Taijun Liu's expression was so solemn, Du Feiyun was also a little puzzled, and he didn't know what important things the old lady asked him for. Thinking about it, it seems that with the power of the Liu family, there is no need to use him. ,
"Feiyun, grandma hopes that you can represent our Liu family and participate in the clan competition of the three major families in Baishi Town in a month! This matter is very important, it is related to the life and death of the Liu family, so grandma begs Feiyun that you can agree. ”
Mrs. Liu said it so seriously, and her expression was so solemn, Du Feiyun couldn't help but be cautious about this matter in his heart. Of course, he was very puzzled, what is the mystery of this clan competition, and it is so serious about the life and death of the Liu family?
"This ......" To be honest, Du Feiyun was a little hesitant, instinctively he was very reluctant to everything about the Liu family. A few days ago, he rescued Mrs. Liu, and it was a decision made under the earnest request of her mother and considering the life and death of Mrs. Liu.
And now, Liu Lao Taijun asked him to represent the Liu family to participate in the clan competition of the three major families in Baishi Town, he instinctively wanted to refuse, but after listening to what Lao Taijun said, he felt that if he refused, it would be too unkind and hurt Lao Taijun's heart.
Seeing that Du Feiyun was silent, Mrs. Liu turned her face to look at Du Shi, with a look of help in her eyes. Obviously, the old lady also knows that Du Feiyun's weakness is Du Shi, this child may be cold by nature, but he is absolutely filial and willing to listen to his mother's opinion.
"Feiyun, since the stakes are very high, and it happens that you can do your best, just promise your grandmother!" If there is something dangerous, the Du family will never let his son be in danger, but the three major families know her very well than the general assembly, and she knows that there will be no danger, so she decided to open her mouth to persuade Du Feiyun.
Now that his mother has spoken, Du Feiyun can't refuse anymore. Of course, he couldn't agree easily, so he could ask the old lady: "Then old lady, tell me first, if I promise you, what benefits can I get? ”
"Uh......" Old Taijun Liu's face was suddenly stunned, and then she touched Du Feiyun's head with a smile, and said with a smile: "No wonder the people in Baishi Town say that Feiyun is a little money fan, but now that I look at it, it's really the case! Hehe, you little guy is really straightforward!"
"Hehe......" Du Feiyun could only laugh dryly.
"Well, it seems that you, a little money fan, don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, so grandma will tell you frankly. Mrs. Liu looked at Du Feiyun with a smile on her face, her eyes were doting, and then she told Du Feiyun about the details.
This clan competition is a competition meeting jointly negotiated and finalized by the three major families in Baishi Town, which is held once every ten years, and the young juniors of each family participate in the competition, the purpose is to encourage the juniors of each family to cultivate diligently.
Since the competition, it must be a color head, if there is no color head, who is willing to bother to do any competition. Every time the clan competition is held, the three major families will come up with a treasure as a lottery head, and the top three who win the competition will get these three treasures.
Of course, the value of the treasure cannot be less than two thousand taels of silver. This amount of treasure, with the financial resources of the three major families, will not hurt the muscles and bones, but it will not be easy, and it will take a lot of thought. In this way, it can play a role in motivating future generations.
In this clan competition, the Qin family took out a precious martial art, called the Cracked Tablet Palm, which was a top-level martial art coveted by a cultivator in the body refining period, and was definitely worth two thousand taels of silver.
The treasure that the Liu family took out was a sword called Qiushui, this sword was worn by Old Lady Liu during his lifetime, and it was a treasure that the monks in the Qi refining period were extremely eager to obtain.
Originally, Liu Xiangtian, the head of the Liu family, was determined not to take out this sword as a color head, after all, its value was far more than two thousand taels of silver, and it also had a special significance. It's just that all the properties of the Liu family combined, the total family income will not exceed eight thousand taels. Recently, it happened that Mrs. Liu was critically ill, so she prepared medicinal materials, paid Du Feiyun a bounty, etc., and spent another two thousand taels. Moreover, it was impossible for Liu Xiangtian to sell his ancestral business to raise two thousand taels of silver to buy treasures as lottery heads, so he could only bear the pain and take out the only treasure that reached the standard of two thousand taels in the end.
The last treasure is a medicinal herb taken out by the Bai family, which is a century-old heavenly treasure called the Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus.
When he heard the first two treasures, Du Feiyun was still unmoved, but when he heard the Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus, he was shocked, and a fine light flashed in his eyes. With a calm face, he pretended to be a deep groaning and weighing, and after a while, he nodded in the expectant gaze of the old lady.
"I promised!"
