Chapter 21: The Mysterious Old Man

Mo Xianlan, who walked out of the Zhoujia conference room with an angry face, saw the crowd gathered outside the memory room and could not enter the conference room because of their identity.

"Hmph. ”

Looking at the chaotic crowd, listening to their whispers, and feeling their various eyes, Xianlan's mood couldn't help but become even worse, she snorted coldly, and walked out directly.

Everyone watched Mo Xianlan walk towards them, and they also consciously separated, making way for Mo Xianlan.

Mo Xianlan walked on the road where the crowd made way for her, her steps were messy but the speed was extremely fast, she looked straight ahead, completely ignoring the people around her, obviously wanting to quickly leave this place that made her nest fire.

However, as her steps quickened, a lonely and upright back slowly emerged from the dark night in front of her and met her eyes.

Judging from his movements and body shape, it should be a young man who was slowly walking outside the middle courtyard, but at a distance of dozens of meters, and in this dark night, relying on the lights outside the conference room alone could not completely illuminate the figure of that person, Mo Xianlan only vaguely saw a person's back from a distance.

The man seemed to feel Mo Xianlan's gaze, but he turned his head slowly, under the dark night, Mo Xianlan couldn't see the outline of the person's face clearly, let alone the expression on the person's face, but through the curtain of the night, he felt the other party's calm gaze without a trace of waves, like a deep ancient well, not alarmed.

In the thick night, beside him was the hustle and bustle of a group of ordinary people, behind him were the burning eyes of two flattering people with different meanings, the sky was a waning moon hidden in the dark clouds exuding a hazy moonlight, the ground was mottled by brilliant lights, and in front of him, there was a mysterious teenager hidden in the night, at this moment, Mo Xianlan's heart beat sluggishly.

However, the next moment, Mo Xianlan felt that his gaze seemed to move away from her, and the figure of that person also completely disappeared in front of her eyes.

At this time, Bai Rui also came to Mo Xianlan's side, looked at Mo Xianlan who was still angry just now and was now in place with some confusion, and asked in a low voice.

"Miss Mo, what's wrong?"

"Uh... It's nothing. Mo Xianlan also seemed to react instantly, and quickly shook his head, wanting to clear the mess in his mind.

But the more this is the case, the more the hazy figure of the young man in the thick night appears in front of her eyes, and there is such a deep and calm gaze, which is even more abruptly made up by her brain, and for a while, Mo Xianlan, who has always been arrogant, was a little flustered.

The handsome young man behind him noticed Mo Xianlan's strange appearance, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, understanding that this was a good opportunity, so he hurriedly said with great hospitality.

"Is there anything wrong with Senior Sister Mo? If you need anything, just tell Senior Brother that Senior Brother will definitely help Senior Sister do it. ”

Hearing the voice of the handsome young man, Mo Xianlan couldn't help but have a trace of displeasure on his face, but he didn't have a seizure, but forcibly suppressed the trace of panic that flashed in his heart just now, and said softly.

"Xian Lan is fine, thank you for your concern. ”

After speaking, Mo Xianlan didn't hesitate any longer, walked straight ahead, and once again ignored Bai Rui and the handsome young man.

The two people behind Mo Xianlan glanced at each other, and there was a little helplessness in their eyes, but they didn't hesitate much, and followed directly, today they completely offended the Zhou family, and it was indeed a little inappropriate to stay here again.

......

The Zhoujia compound is divided into east, west, south, north, middle, and five courtyards, but in fact, this is only a general division, which can only be regarded as the main part of the Zhoujia compound, that is, the main courtyard, but it is not the whole of the entire Zhoujia compound.

The Zhoujia compound is nearly 40 acres wide, and its area is quite considerable, and in this 40 acres of compound, the main courtyard accounts for about 30 acres, and the remaining 10 acres of vast land belongs to the deputy courtyard.

If the Zhoujia compound is compared to a circular circle, then the deputy courtyard is equivalent to the "ring" of this circular circle, and the main courtyard is equivalent to the "circle" wrapped in the ring of the auxiliary courtyard.

That is to say, if you want to enter the main courtyard from outside the courtyard, you must pass through this circular auxiliary courtyard, which is an incomparably wide area, and none of the five courtyards in the main courtyard can be comparable in area, and there are many simple houses, inhabited by the servants and subordinates of the Zhou family.

At this moment, Mo Xianlan, who walked out of the middle courtyard, was walking towards the auxiliary courtyard through the east courtyard, and not far behind her, an old man and a young man followed.

Mo Xianlan admitted that she followed the figure of the young man who had been hidden in the night before, and she deliberately sped up her pace, I don't know why, she just wanted to see that person.

However, the result did not satisfy her, after walking out of the middle courtyard to the east courtyard, the door of a wooden house facing due west was slowly closed under her gaze, Mo Xianlan knew that it should be the person's room.

"Hey. ”

Sighing slightly, Mo Xianlan was still a little disappointed because of this, but the reason for her loss was not some bloody love at first sight, but just that her curiosity was not satisfied.

"Now that I am in the Zhou family that I have just offended, and it is now in the middle of the night, it is inconvenient to knock on people's doors and disturb them, so forget it if you don't see them. ”

When Mo Xianlan thought of this, he had no intention of staying here, but after the old and young people who had been left behind by him followed up, they left the Zhou family compound with them.

During this period, Mo Xianlan found an old man who swept the floor in the vice courtyard and asked some questions about the owner of the house in the east courtyard, but after getting the answer, she was shocked.

At that time, although the old man was still surprised by Mo Xianlan's appearance, he also answered her question very carefully.

"That room, it's Young Master Lonely's, what's wrong?"

After the old man finished speaking, he also glanced at it a little strangely, and the old man felt very strange, why did these distinguished guests in front of him who wanted to be personally received by the head of the family go to inquire about the down-and-out young master in a remote town, even if the lonely young master seems to have slowly become more powerful recently, it will not attract the attention of people like them.

"Young Master Lonely, who is Young Master Lonely?"

Mo Xianlan muttered a few words to herself in confusion, and just wanted to continue asking, but Bai Rui just drove away the old man and explained to her.

"Young Master Lonely is Zhou Ze's third son - Zhou Lonely, because he was tested to be inferior in his qualifications when he was a child, so he was extremely unfavored, and that Zhou Lonely's character was also withdrawn, extremely unsociable, in the Zhou family for sixteen years, little contact with the clan, the entire Zhou family, and most of the people did not know him before he was sixteen years old. ”

But when he turned sixteen years old and the Zhou family held an opening ceremony, he was tested to be a good qualification, although it was nothing in the entire Nanling, but it was not bad in this little Zhou family. ”

When Mo Xianlan heard this, he heard that Zhou Lonely was just a good qualification, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of doubt.

At this moment, Bai Rui continued: "But after this Zhou Lonely was tested for good qualifications, it turned out to be like a fish crossing the dragon gate and turning into a dragon, and in just six days, he broke through the small opening position and reached the middle opening position, and won the first place in the small competition of the Zhou family in one fell swoop, surpassing the other three people with excellent qualifications." ”

When Bai Rui said this, he couldn't help but look at Mo Xianlan's reaction, and seeing that she was just shocked and had no other expression, he knew that she didn't associate things with Zhou Yan of Xiaobi Er, and he was slightly relieved in his heart, but then, he was also puzzled.

In these years, the worse the qualification, the faster the cultivation speed.

But after a moment he just shook his head, no way.

At this time, the handsome young man who had been eavesdropping on the side for a long time was talking.

"Hmph, it's just luck, just starting to embark on the road of spiritual cultivation, even if there are some miracles, can luck continue to be good? This boat is lonely but has good qualifications, which is destined for him not to have much cultivation in the future, at most it is just a snake in this small place. ”

Mo Xianlan couldn't help frowning when he heard the harsh words of the handsome young man, and said very unhappily: "It's not that there are no miracles in this world, and it's not impossible for miracles to happen to the same person in a row, senior brother, it's better not to be too arbitrary." ”

Although Bai Rui agreed with the handsome young man's point of view, he also felt that Mo Xianlan was too young to understand the importance of qualifications for a person, but he still agreed.

"Miss Mo is absolutely right, but everything cannot be arbitrary. ”

The handsome young man found that instead of being so dark as Zhou Lone, he let himself leave a bad impression in the heart of his junior sister, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of remorse, and at the same time secretly remembered the name Zhou Lonely in his heart.

Mo Xianlan slowly looked at the sky where there was no longer a trace of light, shook her head, and no longer thought about the lonely thing, she was originally here to satisfy her curiosity, but now it is better, she is becoming more and more curious.

"Forget it, I don't want to do that. ”

......

Leaving the conference room with an indifferent expression, Zhou Yan, who was a little distracted, came to the cliff at the intersection of the eastern part of Guyuan Town and the Guyuan Mountain Range according to his usual habits.

Sitting on the top of the cliff, calmly looking at the steep mountains shrouded in mist on the opposite side, there is the Guyuan Mountain Range.

"Hehe, strength... In this world, there is no strength, not even a piece of shit, at least, no one dares to step on shit. The shoulders shrugged slightly, and the young man's low self-deprecating laughter, with grief and indignation, slowly wandered on the top of the mountain.

Ten fingers inserted into a black hair, Zhou Yan's teeth bit his lip tightly, allowing the faint blood to spread at the corners of his mouth, although he did not show any inappropriate emotions in the conference room, but Mo Xianlan's words were like a knife cut in his heart, making Zhou Yan tremble...

"I don't want to suffer a second insult today. Spreading out the left hand with a bloody mark, Zhou Yan's voice was hoarse but firm.

"Hey, work hard, in the future, I will help you improve your strength"

An old voice suddenly sounded from Zhou Yan's heart, making Zhou Yan stunned for a moment, but then, Zhou Yan was in ecstasy, he looked at the black quaint ring on his middle finger excitedly, and then hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times in a row, and said loudly in his mouth.

"You're finally willing to take me as an apprentice!"

"The apprentice is below, the master is above, please accept the apprentice's three bows"
