Chapter 4 The Hidden Feelings of the Year
King Ming walked in, and the two children followed King Ming in.
"Teacher?" Rovan wondered, "why are you here?"
"Haha! I was afraid that the genius would run away, so I followed me all the way with my two children, but fortunately I came in time. King Ming smiled and said, "This time I came here to discuss with your parents in person, our Shattered Star Academy is a first-class college in the mainland, and I sincerely invite my little brother to come to my Shattered Star Academy to study, and all fees are free." After three years, you will become a Yuan Master, what kind of bullshit competition will you participate in!"
"Thank you, teacher, for your kindness, I would like to study at Shatterstar Academy. Luo Fan said gratefully.
Luo Fan is indeed very grateful, although the result of his Yuan Force awakening has been determined, but King Ming was able to go all the way home, and he helped at the critical moment, which has indeed reflected great sincerity.
"A Yuan Master, you say that you are the Shattered Star Academy, I have to believe it?" Luo Jin said disdainfully.
"Bastard, open your eyes and see what this is!" King Ming glared, threw his right hand forward, and a white light shot at Luo Jin!
Luo Jin stretched out his hand and copied it, took a closer look, and immediately said dumbfounded, "Shattered Star Academy, special, special, special teacher!"
"Don't get out of here yet!" said King Ming in disgust.
"Yes, yes, yes!" the blond young man did not dare to say more, and walked out with a few of his subordinates.
The room suddenly fell silent, and Luo Shan and Lin Rou saluted together, "Thank you for saving me." ”
"You're welcome. King Ming said lightly, pointing at Luo Fan and Zixi, and then said, "I am here today for these two children, I hope they can learn with me, I don't know what the two of you think?"
"Since Luo Fan has agreed, there is no reason to change it. Luo Shan hesitated slightly, "It's just Zixi, she's not my daughter, and I still need to ask Uncle Zi." ”
"I do. Zixi couldn't refuse, "Wherever Brother Xiaofan goes, I will go." ”
"Xi'er, why don't you ask Grandpa Zi. Luo Fan persuaded.
"No, I don't. Zixi didn't care, "Grandpa listens to me the most, there's no problem." ”
"Okay, you little girl, if you don't tell me about this kind of big thing, you make your own decisions?"
Grandpa Zi came in from the door and said with a smile.
"Grandpa!" Zi Ximei glared, and a threatening look drifted over, "Then do you agree or not?"
"Yes! I agree. Grandpa Zi said helplessly.
"Hahaha!" everyone burst into laughter.
"Still. Grandpa Zi said, "This time to go to the Shattered Star Academy, it will be at least three years and four years, and the road is far away, you must listen to Xiaofan's words in the future, you can't make your own opinions, and you can't make things without permission." ”
"Okay, I know!" Zi Xi said angrily.
"Very well!" said King Ming, "you two will say a little goodbye to your families, and we will set off early tomorrow morning." ”
"In such a hurry?"
"Yes, the sooner you go back, the sooner you start cultivating. King Ming smiled slightly, "This time, it is a blessing to be able to harvest four super-grade geniuses, and I dare not expect anything else!"
After saying that, King Ming turned to leave, and the two children who followed him also left after giving a salute.
That night, Luo Fan talked to his parents all night, Lin Rou carefully prepared for the trip, and Luo Shan also talked about the origin of the family competition.
It turned out that Luo Shan's family was the Luo clan of the Qingyun Empire, the family lasted for thousands of years and had a large population, but the family resources have always been inclined to the descendants of the main line, which has caused many contradictions between the main line and the branch line. For a long time, the main veins and branch veins have become more and more incompatible.
Although there are few geniuses in the branches, they can't stand the large number of people, and over time, the family disputes become more and more intense. Therefore, since a hundred years ago, the Luo clan has decided to conduct a competition between the main vein and branch of the family every fifteen years, and five people from each side will be from each side, either for the Yuanshi realm, or more than the Yuanshi realm but under the age of fifteen can participate, and the five games are three wins. The winner enjoys eighty percent of the family's resources, the loser only enjoys two percent, and the failed branch also needs to move out of Qingyun City as a whole.
"Then my father lost to Nalowe back then?"
"Yes, the other party only made one move, and I lost, and my cultivation was exhausted. Luo Shan said bitterly.
There are eight branches, and there are many smaller branches underneath. Now this vein of Lingsai City is one of the eight veins of the year, and Luo Shan belongs to the rare genius of this vein of Lingsai City. At that time, four people were nominated to participate in the family competition and selection of the eight branches, and a total of dozens of people from the eight branches were selected through internal competition, and Luo Shan was one of the five people who finally participated in the battle.
Back then, Luo Wei was only thirteen years old, and everyone thought it was the Yuan Shi Realm, and Luo Shan was already a high-level Yuan Shi Realm back then, and breaking through the Yuan King was also close at hand. It's a pity that Luo Shan was already twenty years old at the time, and once he broke through the Yuan King, he lost his qualification to fight, so for the sake of the branch, Luo Shan has never broken through, and was used as a hole card by the branch.
In the first four battles, the main vein and the branch vein were tied, and in the most critical game, Luo Shan faced Luo Wei, but Luo Wei was just one move, and Luo Shan was defeated.
"My defeat is for myself, I can't continue to break through, I have been staying in the Yuanshi realm, but I don't dare to use force. For him, the harmful branch can only take 20% of the resources, and it is even more harmful for me to go away to Lingsai City. ”
"Xiao Fan, I can't cultivate anymore, in the future, the humiliation of the Luo family's branch will have to be earned back by you, and it can be regarded as making amends to the family for me. ”
"Father!" Luo Fan said excitedly, "You don't want to be like this, why did they think about you?"
"Xiao Fan, compare your heart to your heart, without these resources, maybe you will go from breaking through the Yuan King to being trapped in the Yuan Master for life, how can you treat it calmly? They treat me like this today, and I have no complaints!"
"Moreover, they have not done anything for the Father, we have been in the town of the Boundary for ten years, and we have lived in peace and no one disturbs us during these ten years. The branch will send people to visit me at our house every year, you, don't be fooled by Xiao Jin's performance today. ”
"Kim?"
"It's the kid who yelled at me, he was your uncle's child, and he was the closest to me when I was a child. ”
"Then why did he talk to his father like that?" said Luo Fan dissatisfied.
"The branch vein is far away from Lingsai City, my eldest brother, that is, your uncle, the pressure on him is naturally the greatest. Three years later, the family competition is indeed the time to determine the candidate. There is only one circumstance that will make them think of me, and even provoke them with words. ”
"No one in the branches?" Luo Fan's eyes lit up!
"Yes, people under the age of 15 in the branch veins, or people who have reached the Yuan Master realm, are not as good as me. Luo Shan closed his eyes and sighed, "Even, according to my understanding, in the past twelve years, there have been no geniuses in the entire eight major branches, if you rely on the old master before, I am afraid that the possibility of winning is not great." In desperation, they remembered me, so the other seven veins will definitely unite to exert pressure on your uncle, and even threaten that twenty percent of the resources will not be evenly distributed to our vein, so that our vein will definitely be turbulent. Your uncle has no choice but to force me to come out and fight again. They thought that Luo Wei was over fifteen years old and could not play again, but I had been at the high level of the Yuanshi, and if I played, I would naturally be able to win a game. ”
"But!" Luo Fan said hurriedly, "they are forcing you to die!"
"Forced by helplessness, the survival of the branch veins is naturally insignificant compared to the life and death of the individual. This is also why, Luo Jin said that it is for the sake of the family and the branches. Luo Shan smiled, his tone revealing desolation.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, now this burden is on you, and I will have to rely on you in the future. Luo Shan patted Luo Fan on the shoulder, "However, as a father, I still have to warn you that you must be down-to-earth in your cultivation, and don't be too ambitious and fall into the devil's path because of this so-called three-year covenant, can you remember?"
"Remember, please rest assured father, the child will go to practice hard for three years, and after three years, he will not let you down. Luo Fan said.
Nothing was said all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Luo Fan carried the luggage packed by his mother, hugged Xiao Luo Xing, who was crying and shouting his brother, and reluctantly said goodbye to his parents.
With his mother's low cry and his father's expectation, he turned around and left with a ruthless heart!
In the past three years, he will definitely be promoted to Yuanshi! To repay his father's shame! Luo Fan secretly swears!
Watching Luo Fan walk away, Lin Rou hugged Xiao Luo Xing and asked Luo Shan worriedly, "Brother Shan, will you really let Fan'er go after three years?"
"What's the matter!, how can there be a reason for being a father to be afraid of death, but let his son take the bag!" Luo Shan laughed, "With Xiao Fan's talent of super-level fire yuan power, his future achievements will inevitably be extremely high, how can he be stumped by this small family competition?"
"If the time comes, you ......"
"Rou Mei, death, sooner or later, there is no need to worry. Luo Shan looked at Lin Rou and Luo Xing, hugged the two of them into his arms, and muttered, "Hate, I can't be with you forever! Even if I die, I have to fight for a future!"
When she came to Xi'er's house, Xi'er's eyes were also red. It seems that the parting is imminent, and he is also quite reluctant to give up with Grandpa Zi. Grandpa Zi also looked embarrassed, patting Xi'er's back gently and comfortingly.
"Xi'er. Luo Fan shouted.
"Brother Xiaofan. Xi'er wiped the corners of her eyes and obediently came to Luo Fan's side.
"Stinky boy, you can't bully Xi'er in the future!" Grandpa Zi said solemnly, "In addition, Xi'er is going out for the first time, you have to take care of her." ”
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will protect Xi'er, if you want to hurt Xi'er, step on my corpse first!" Luo Fan said seriously.
"Okay, don't say frustrating words, you can't hurt it, Xi'er will definitely be distressed by then. Grandpa Zi scolded with a smile.
"Grandpa!" Xi'er's face was flushed and her eyes were full of anger.
"Hahaha!" Grandpa Zi laughed and said to Luo Fan, "Xiao Fan, come here, I have a few words to tell you." ”
