Zhoujia West Courtyard, right main room.

The elder sat on the Taishi chair with a gloomy face, and beside him stood a young man with a tall posture and outstanding temperament.

Compared with the decadence of the great elder Zhou Qiyuan, the young man seemed to be much more energetic, with black hair draped casually on his shoulders, a little confident smile on his handsome face, and a pair of straight sword eyebrows added a bit of sharpness to it, and a pair of starry eyes faintly lit up, revealing a different kind of domineering spirit.

Zhou Qiyuan looked at the high-spirited grandson in front of him, and his tiger eyes also showed a hint of relief, at least, his grandson had not let him down.

In terms of power, he was abused by Zhou Ze to the point that he was incomplete, and now the power in his hands is probably not even half of what he used to be, but Zhou Ze seems to have the intention of making a move on Zhou Huning, which makes Zhou Qiyuan's heart slightly balanced.

Now the most powerful thing in the entire Zhou family is Zhou Ze, and under Zhou Ze is Zhou Huning, then Zhou Fangrui, then him, and finally Zhou Puppet.

Because Zhou Huning and Zhou Fangrui were not suppressed by Zhou Ze, these two goods, who have always been at the bottom of the four ruling elders, have actually become the two most powerful among the four ruling elders.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qiyuan was helpless, Zhou Ze's methods hit the nail on the head, and the speed of his attack was also extremely fast, and when he didn't react at all, he uprooted his many forces with lightning speed, so that Zhou Qiyuan had no way to fight back at all.

Shaking his head, Zhou Qiyuan no longer thought about these annoying things, looked at Zhou Chen and said, "Have you broken through to the Great Qi Position?"

Zhou Chen nodded slowly, but did not show any proud look.

Zhou Qiyuan heard this, the previous sadness was suddenly swept away, after this change of power, he also understood a truth, that is, no matter how terrifying the power you have, there will be a day when it changes, and as long as your strength is enough, no matter how monstrous the other party's power is, there will always be a place for you.

And for his grandson, he has always been very satisfied, although he was a little dissatisfied with Zhouchen's reluctance to get involved in the family's power struggle and only wanted to practice, but at that time, Zhouchen's attainments in power were also very satisfactory to him, and now Zhou Qiyuan, who has gone through great ups and downs, is even more pleased with his grandson.

"This afternoon's family Xiaobi, are you confident that you will win the first place?"

Zhou Qiyuan asked Zhou Chen a little solemnly, he was still very concerned about Xiaobi this afternoon, not for the 80 spirit stones, nor for the priority of going to the spirit library to choose spiritual science, these were not important to him Zhou Qiyuan, as long as he wanted to, he could immediately take out thousands of spirit stones or dozens of spirit stones for Zhou Chen to practice.

It's just that he didn't do it so that Zhouchen didn't blindly rely on himself in the future, and like him, there are not a few people in the Zhou family, Zhou Huning, Zhou Fangrui, Zhou puppet, Zhou Junhe, Zhou Hydrology...... Of course, except for the old fox in Zhouze, the old fox almost never cares about his juniors, and the spirit stones are only given once in a while, and the number of spirit stones given each time is also very different, sometimes more and sometimes less, obviously given indiscriminately.

The reason why Zhou Qiyuan paid attention to Xiaobi this afternoon was actually because this Xiaobi was related to the family evaluation half a month later.

Half a month later is the day of the Zhou family's big competition, as soon as the big competition is over, all the children of the Zhou family who have been evaluated by the veteran group will be sent to the various economic zones of the Zhou family to experience, or become a groveling ordinary waiter, or become the future pillar of the Zhou family who is in charge of the economy, and different evaluations will determine this different fate.

Moreover, the timing of this big competition is very coincidental, a month later is the day when the Yan family's caravan passes through Guyuan Town, if Zhouchen can control the economy at that time and operate well, there is no doubt that Zhouchen will rise rapidly in the Zhoujia at a terrifying speed, and at that time, with the voice and power that he has already accumulated, it is not impossible to fight for the power of the Zhou family again.

According to Zhou Qiyuan's understanding, this afternoon's Xiaobi will also participate in the evaluation after the big competition, which is related to Zhouchen's future fate, and if Zhouchen wins the first place this time, his situation will undoubtedly improve a little.

After all, Zhouchen represents the political epitome of his own power, and once Zhouchen wins the first place in this small competition, he will have a lot less pressure here.

Therefore, this Xiaobi is not only very important to Zhouchen, but also to him Zhou Qiyuan.

In his grandfather's expectant gaze, Zhou Chen smiled faintly and said, "Nine out of ten." ”

When Zhou Qiyuan heard this, his heart was relieved, and a slight smile appeared on his face, he smiled at Zhou Chen: "Okay, you have courage, you are worthy of being my Zhou Qiyuan's grandson." ”

Zhou Qiyuan is still very confident in his grandson, as long as he says he can do it, then there is basically no problem.

However, Zhou Chen, who seemed to suddenly think of something, frowned slightly, and said to Zhou Qiyuan: "However, there is one person who may be a trouble in the future. ”

"Who?"

Regarding his grandson's opinion, Zhou Qiyuan still cares a lot.

"Zhou Lonely, this person is definitely not as incompetent as he used to be, I even feel a feeling in him that Zhou Ze once gave me, and this person is likely to become an obstacle that we must overcome in the future. ”

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

Hearing the word Zhou Ze, Zhou Qiyuan's old eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was planning, but in the end, he said to Zhou Chen: "No matter what, this afternoon's Xiaobi can't be lost, it's about your future." ”

"Grandpa rest assured, Zhou Lonely is a threat at most, but that is only in the future, this time Xiaobi, he will never be his grandson's opponent. ”

Zhou Chen looked at his grandfather's solemn expression, but there was still a relaxed smile on his face.

......

Mo Liang completely released his spiritual power, and slowly shrouded it in the turquoise spirit stone, but did not let the spirit sink into it, but stayed on the surface of the spirit stone, and began to search carefully.

Sure enough, it was only a moment's effort, and on a line on the surface of this Spirit Evolution Stone, Mo Liang noticed a difference.

It is a very shallow line, engraved on the Lingyan stone, as if it is the traces left by the Lingyan stone during processing, but in fact, it is not, the traces of processing are more neat, they are all caused by instruments, and this trace is crooked, different shades, it is obvious that someone deliberately carved it.

And it was from this trace that was carved out that Mo Liang felt a very large soul fluctuation, this fluctuation was very strong, but it was only strong at the soul level, unless someone could attain something in the soul, otherwise he would only think that this thing was just an ordinary spirit stone.

And in this era when the soul path has long been declining, there are very few people who practice the soul path, and this spirit stone is placed in such an ordinary small shop that is difficult for people to patronize, so Mo Liang will have the opportunity to buy this spirit stone.

Mo Liang gradually sank his soul into that shallow mark, and as his soul deepened, Mo Liang's vision began to change.

An emerald green bamboo sea instantly appeared in front of Mo Liang's eyes, in the bamboo sea, there is a small pavilion, a black plaque on the pavilion is written - three big characters of Qingzhu Pavilion, the big characters do not seem how majestic and vigorous, but reveal a kind of elegant, very in line with the surrounding elegant environment.

Mo Liang wanted to walk in, but found that he couldn't move at all, and he didn't bother anymore, just stood quietly like that, observing the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

What kind of person is capable of creating such a large and real world on such a shallow mark?

In the Qingzhu Pavilion in the Bamboo Sea, an old man in Tsing Yi sat quietly, without the slightest breath on his body, and the breeze blew his long silver-white hair, which was like an immortal.

Mo Liang did not quit this spirit world, although he can quit now as long as his mind moves, although the role of this spirit world is not clear, he is likely to be in danger of his life because of this, but Mo Liang still did not choose to quit.

Capitalists can choose to risk their lives when faced with 300% benefits, and Mo Liang is risking his life at the cost of his life at the moment, and what he is doing is not only the 300% benefits.

In the spirit world, time flies quickly, one day, two days, three days......

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

However, in the soul world, the bamboo sea is still the same, the old man in the Qingzhu Pavilion sits quietly, Mo Liang stands stupidly, unable to move the slightest, this scene seems to have converged into a picture scroll, full of elegant beauty.

This world seems to have no time, there is no sun in the sky, there is no moon, and there is no natural phenomenon of the sun rising and the moon setting, this world seems to be forever still at the moment when Mo Liang enters it.

However, in the face of all this, Mo Liang just kept a straight face and looked at the old man in the Qingzhu Pavilion in the distance calmly.

I don't know how long it took for this otherwise static picture to finally move.

In the Qingzhu Pavilion, the old man who was sitting quietly slowly opened his eyes, even if he was far away, Mo Liang could still clearly see the scene of the old man opening his eyes.

It was a pair of eyes that were so dark that there was no light, Mo Liang could only see a piece of pitch black without any other color, even Mo Liang, the moment he saw these eyes, his scalp was numb, and a kind of fear was derived from the depths of his heart.

And just when Mo Liang was surprised, in the blink of an eye, the old man who was originally sitting in the Qingzhu Pavilion actually appeared directly in front of him.

The old man did not sit cross-legged on the ground at the moment as before, but stood in front of Mo Liang's eyes, he was not very tall, at most seven feet (one meter seven, there is an explanation of the relevant problems in Chapter 21 of the mysterious old man, and the bubble will no longer be prompted in the future), but standing in front of Mo Liang's eyes brought Mo Liang a sense of oppression as if facing an endless abyss.

It was a suffocating sense of oppression.

A gentle breeze blew from the bamboo sea in the distance, blowing the hem of the old man's blue robe, and his white hair that was spread out was also fluttering in the breeze, and behind him was an endless sea of emerald green bamboo and an elegant bamboo pavilion.

It was a beautiful and picturesque scene, but when Mo Liang saw the old man's eyes that were so dark that he couldn't see through the slightest light, he felt a palpitation in his heart, and the sense of fit between the surrounding environment and the old man's temperament disappeared for a while.

Those eyes are so weird.

In Mo Liang's surprised and inexplicable gaze, the old man opened a pair of black eyes and said slowly to Mo Liang: "Welcome to your arrival, guest from a foreign land." ”
