The slightly shady courtyard and the ancient house with a hint of quaintness.

The surrounding field of vision is very broad, slightly tilt your head, you can see all kinds of spiritual flowers blooming in the courtyard, and the garden is full of bursts of refreshing fragrance, which makes people's mood not feel calm.

After casually looking at the surrounding environment, Xue Longyu nodded slightly.

However, what happened next made Xue Longyu slightly surprised.

"Bring them in!

A slightly fiery woman's voice rang out.

I saw that the door of the room suddenly opened a gap that could only accommodate one person, and a delicate cheek poked out from it, the person was wearing a flaming red dress, half of his body leaned out together, and his long hair was braided at will, and at this moment the soft eyebrows were revealing a trace of impatience.

Dongfang Lian then paused slightly, her eyes froze for a moment, her gaze stayed on Xue Longyu, and a fiery light suddenly flashed in her eyes, but unfortunately it was not a look of admiration, but a pure battle intent. Although the latter was a little unclear when he saw this, he still nodded at her kindly and expressed his kindness.

But what made Xue Longyu a little stunned was that the girl in front of her, who was wearing a fiery red dress like a flame elf, had a look of disdain flashing on her beautiful face, but she just snorted, didn't speak, and turned around and walked into the house.

"Uh, ahahaha...... It's okay, don't be discouraged, come on, come on, brother, I'll support you!"

I saw that Xue Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, stretched out his big fan-like hand and patted the stunned Xue Longyu heavily, looked at the latter's depressed expression, and couldn't help but laugh again.

Dongfang You couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, then looked in the direction of the room and sighed. My sister is good, but her temper is worse, and she is particularly aggressive, and she likes to fight with the strong, and now the strong people who can be regarded as strong in the entire Dongfang family have basically been pulled by her to "sparring", the strong ones are better, and the weak ones are all blue noses and swollen faces come back, and then every time I see this little aunt and grandmother, she avoids it like a tiger.

"Little Brother Xue, I'm sorry to make you laugh, my sister has such a temperament, and her mind is not bad, so I hope you don't want to be surprised. ”

Dongfang You turned around and smiled at Xue Longyu and said.

Xue Longyu finally reacted from the scene just now, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, a little inexplicable, and then he heard Xue Qingshan's ridicule and Dongfang You's words, and hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

Just as Xue Longyu and Dongfang You were talking, a voice mixed with a faint majesty came from inside the room.

"You'er, since the guests have arrived, bring them in, what does it look like to stay outside all the time, don't neglect others. ”

Dongfang You heard this voice and hurriedly put away his other looks, turned to the direction of the room, and then waved to Xue Longyu and the others, and walked in by himself.

Xue Longyu glared at Xue Qingshan, signaling him not to talk nonsense, and then hurriedly followed with Xue Qingshan, who was smiling.

......

As soon as he entered the living room, a faint solemn atmosphere spread, and Xue Longyu followed behind Dongfang You, and when he looked up slightly, he saw the three people seated not far away.

On the first seat, there sat a man with a face like a knife, the man had an indifferent smile on his face, but his demeanor naturally revealed a faint majesty. However, this momentum is obviously nothing to Snow Dragon Jade. Xue Longyu looked at this person, obviously, this is the person who spoke just now, and it should be the patriarch of the Dongfang family.

Look to the side.

There are two people sitting next to the first person on the left of the person, one is a gray-haired but energetic old man, his face is full of folds and wrinkles, his eyes are black and white, and he is full of light, a pair of white eyebrows are like frost swords, straight into the temples of the clouds, and a pair of eyes reveal a taste of vicissitudes and wisdom, it seems that it should be similar to the role of "wise general".

Looking at his side again, the other was a middle-aged man with some sharp-beaked monkey gills, with a lewd smile on his face, and a pair of thief's little eyes looked Xue Longyu and Xue Qingshan up and down, and a trace of inexplicable brilliance flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xue Longyu's expression was awe-inspiring, and the vitality around her body fluctuated slightly, looking vigilant.

"This man's strength is not simple. ”

I muttered silently in my heart.

The old man's name is He Dong, he is the housekeeper of the Dongfang family, and he has been accompanying the patriarch Dongfang Bo for decades, and he can be regarded as loyal. The man's name was Hou Ying, and he was the captain of the courtyard, and his status was not low, not to mention his bad appearance, but in fact he was a very powerful assassin.

Dongfang Lian, who was dressed in red, did not sit down, but raised her snow-white chin slightly and looked at Xue Longyu with a hint of pride.

She had long heard her brother Dongfang You talk about Xuelong Jade, what a genius young man is a talent, what strength is unfathomable, and she has repeatedly warned her not to offend others. Hmph, she didn't believe it, the young masters of the Du family and other noble families also claimed to be geniuses, and they didn't have a frightened expression when they saw themselves, thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile proudly. Therefore, when she saw Xue Longyu today, she couldn't help but want to have a discussion with him and give him some color, but thinking of her father's instructions, she still endured it for the time being.

"Hmph, sooner or later there will be a chance, just wait, I will definitely knock you down. ”

Dongfang Lian glanced at her brother, who was smiling a little helplessly, and then her malicious gaze fell on Xue Longyu.

Xue Longyu suddenly looked up and caught a glimpse of Dongfang Lian's smiling look, her expression paused slightly, and then she smiled gently, and she didn't care, what did she and a little girl worry about.

However, why does this Nizi always seem to have some meaning against herself?

Just when Xue Longyu was a little confused, Dongfang Bo, who was sitting in the first place, spoke, coughed lightly, looked at Dongfang You, waved his hand, and the latter walked to the side and sat down.

Immediately, he fell on Xue Longyu with a slightly scrutinizing gaze, looking at Xue Longyu's handsome face with an indifferent smile, and then looking at the bland momentum that did not match his age, feeling the slightly fluctuating vitality around him, his heart was a little shocked, but on the surface, he nodded silently, what a genius boy.

smiled, stretched out his hand, and smiled at Xue Longyu and Xue Qingshan:

"You may be seated. ”

His eyes moved with Xue Longyu and Xue Qingshan, until the two of them came to the first seat on the right and sat down, and then they continued:

"Hehe, the two of you came from afar, I'm afraid you will be a little thirsty, you might as well try this 'snow-topped silver shuttle', this is the tea offered by the caravan from Ducheng every year, it is extremely rare, and the taste is also quite good. ”

Signaling Xue Longyu and Xue Qingshan again, Dongfang Bo himself also picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, and then exhaled lightly, with a hint of intoxicated smile on his face, and seemed to be very satisfied with this tea.

Xue Qingshan's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it in two sips, but then pursed his lips, and raised his rough eyebrows, as if he was not very satisfied. For a mercenary like him, who licks blood from the knife every day, it is still refreshing to drink.

Looking at Xue Qingshan's appearance, everyone in the living room couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, even Dongfang Lian, who had always had a hot temper, covered her mouth and snickered, but Xue Qingshan didn't know about it, and still muttered in a sad voice that there was no wine or anything.

However, the atmosphere has become much more harmonious.

Xue Longyu couldn't help but smile when she looked at Xue Qingshan's gloomy appearance, this guy is really a living treasure, but it's a pity that he was so ruined by this guy with a good cup of tea. Then he shook his head, picked up the teacup in front of him and looked at it, and suddenly felt a little surprised.

I saw that the tea in the teacup seemed to reflect the image of a snow-capped snow-capped mountain, a trace of aura floated in the cup, and I took a sip gently, as if I was on the top of the snow-capped mountain on a hot summer day, and the refreshment ran through the whole body, and I suddenly felt an endless aftertaste.

"Good tea!"

Xue Longyu put down the teacup and couldn't help but praise it.

When Dongfang Bo and the others saw this, they all laughed.

"Hahaha, it's good if you like it. The yield of this kind of tea is very small, we only have one or two a year, and we are usually reluctant to drink, and today we will entertain two distinguished guests, and we will also follow the light!"

He Dong, who was sitting opposite Xue Longyu, laughed a few times, and his momentum was quite bold.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became lively, and everyone had a faint smile on their faces.

"Master, the tea has also been drunk, is it time for us to talk about business. ”

Xue Longyu sat up slightly straight, smiled slightly, arched his hand towards Dongfang Bo, who was in the first seat, and asked.

"Hahaha, Xiaoyou is anxious. Okay, let's talk about the current situation, in fact, we don't know exactly what's going on, but according to the situation passed back by the family's spies, it seems that things are not simple, the matter of the divine beast that the Du family said, I'm afraid it's just a disguise, specific...... I don't know how to say it, but it's a little weird anyway. ”

After speaking, Dongfang Bo's expression became a little depressed, and Xue Longyu looked at his expression, not like he was lying. Turning his head to look at He Dong and Hou Ying, they were also gloomy, and their expressions flickered, which seemed to reveal a different emotion, which seemed to be ...... Fear?

At this time, even Dongfang Lian, who was standing beside Dongfang Bo, looked a little unnatural.

This can arouse Xue Longyu's curiosity, what kind of thing can make these people show such a look? Isn't there some hidden secret? Xue Qingshan next to him glanced at each other, and both understood their respective meanings, so they should remain silent and wait and see what they want.

The originally joyful atmosphere dissipated, and a strange and oppressive atmosphere quietly spread.

Finally, it was He Dong, the housekeeper, who spoke, and his expression seemed to be a little struggling, as if he wanted to say something but was not sure, and finally sighed gloomily, straightened his body a little stiffer, and said slowly:

"We suspect that there is collusion between the Du family and the ghost and god forces of the Devil Mountain Range. ”

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent!
