Chapter 16: Temptation
Zeng Xiaoyu followed his uncle to the gate of the most mysterious ancestral house in Zengjiabao.
The ancestral house occupies a large area, boxy, and is divided into several floors inside and outside.
Under the night, the ancestral house was still brightly lit, and from time to time there was the sound of shouting and cheering from the elite children of the family when they practiced martial arts.
Uncle Clan walked to the gate and knocked lightly on the knocker of the gate.
The door creaked open, and a hunchbacked old man with gray hair poked his head out, his sharp eyes swept over the body of the clan uncle and Zeng Xiaoyu, and he nodded with the sixth uncle and let the sixth uncle and Zeng Xiaoyu in.
Zeng Xiaoyu approached the gate of the ancestral house and passed by the old man, and his heart couldn't help but feel a pang.
This old man is the old housekeeper of the Zeng family's ancestral house, and he is also the only person with a foreign surname in the Zeng family.
This person has lived in Zengjiabao since he was a child, and he is the same generation as the three elders of Zengjiabao.
The most important thing is that this person's internal strength is not bad, and he has already reached the eightfold of the day after tomorrow.
It is second only to the existence of the three elders of the family, and his status in the Zeng family is very special.
After Zeng Xiaoyu entered, Fang Bo also stared at Zeng Xiaoyu's back with a puzzled expression, and his eyes swept up and down Zeng Xiaoyu's back from time to time.
Finally, he shook his head with a little smirk, closed the door again, and walked into the gatehouse at the gate.
Zeng Xiaoyu followed the sixth uncle, walked through several small doors, walked through a garden, and then came to the door of the residence of the great elder of Zengjiabao, Zeng Chengfeng.
As the great elder of the Zeng family, Zeng Chengfeng's residence is located in the center of the ancestral house, with an independent courtyard and a small garden in the courtyard, in which some flowers and plants are planted.
These flowers and plants are very neatly cared for, looking pleasing to the eye, and in the quiet environment, there is an intoxicating fragrance of flowers from time to time, which makes people feel very comfortable.
This was the first time Zeng Xiaoyu had entered his grandfather's room without his parents, and Zeng Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
The door was not closed, and the sixth uncle walked into the living room with Zeng Xiaoyu.
And after Zeng Xiaoyu entered the house, he automatically retreated, leaving Zeng Chengfeng and Zeng Xiaoyu's grandson behind.
As soon as Zeng Xiaoyu entered the living room, he saw his grandfather Zeng Chengfeng sitting under the lamp, holding a book in his hand, and was studying it intently.
Seeing Zeng Xiaoyu come in, Zeng Chengfeng put down the classics, and a rare kind smile appeared on his face, and said, "Xiaoyu, you're here!"
Zeng Xiaoyu looked up at the old man in the chair, he was burly and had gray hair, but he was in good spirits.
With a wide mouth, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, just sitting there gives people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, and people dare not feel contempt.
The most important thing is that this old man is the only one in the family who has reached the peak of the ninefold of the day after tomorrow and has stepped into the tenfold of the day after tomorrow with half a foot.
In the entire family, he has an extremely lofty status, and together with the other two elders, he has become the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Zeng family.
Zeng Xiaoyu was a little puzzled by his grandfather's attitude towards him, and originally thought that calling him in was to give him some reprimand.
But to Zeng Xiaoyu's surprise, his grandfather smiled at him very rarely, and the smile was still so kind.
"Is this still the unsmiling grandfather of the past?"
Zeng Xiaoyu's heart was a little confused, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Grandson Xiaoyu, meet grandpa! Grandpa is well!"
"Okay, get up, sit down and talk!"
Zeng Chengfeng seemed to be in a very good mood today, seeing that Zeng Xiaoyu was very polite, he was even more happy, and with a wave of his hand, he motioned for Zeng Xiaoyu to sit on the chair below.
After sitting down, Zeng Chengfeng's eyes like electricity still kept looking at this young grandson, and he was a little amazed in his heart.
This young grandson has been smart since he was a child, and he likes it very much.
It's just that he has been weak and sick since he was a child, and his roots and bones are extremely poor, so he can't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.
Although he is the eldest elder of the family, for the unity and development of the entire Zeng family, he can't give Zeng Xiaoyu any special care, so he can only let him live by himself outside the ancestral mansion.
Originally, he had no hope for Zeng Xiaoyu, after all, Zeng Xiaoyu was already fifteen years old, but he never broke through to the quadruple of the day after tomorrow.
If he hasn't broken through to the acquired quadruple at the age of fifteen, it means that his future martial arts path can only stop at the acquired quadruple!
Zeng Chengfeng has been wise and martial all his life, and the children born to him are also extraordinary qualifications, and now they have all entered the seventh level of the day after tomorrow, and it is a sure thing to become the successor of the next generation of the Zeng family.
Even those grandchildren, most of them are highly qualified.
Zeng Xiaoyu's eldest brother, Zeng Xiaolong, is now twenty-five years old, and he has broken through to the seventh level of the day after tomorrow, and he has the posture to surpass his father.
Zeng Xiaoyu's second brother Zeng Xiaoyu, who is twenty this year, also has the strength of the acquired sixfold, and it should be possible to break through to the acquired sevenfold before the age of twenty-five.
As for Zeng Xiaoyu's uncle, the children of the second uncle's family also have the strength of five or six times the day after tomorrow, and their qualifications are good among the children in the entire family.
Only Zeng Xiaoyu is an outlier, with outrageously poor qualifications, and has become a side-by-eye existence in the family.
Zeng Xiaoyu's qualifications have always been a deficiency in Zeng Chengfeng's heart, but unfortunately the qualifications are innate, and he can't do anything about it.
But the accident came too suddenly, just today, Zeng Chengfeng heard that his grandson Zeng Xiaoyu, who was a waste of firewood, actually defeated Zeng Can, the grandson of the second elder's family!
Zeng Can is fourteen years old, and he has reached the quadruple peak of the day after tomorrow, and among the children of the clan, he also belongs to the middle and upper ranks.
But Zeng Can, who was quadruple the day after tomorrow, was defeated by Zeng Xiaoyu, who has always been unfavorable, what does this mean?
It shows that Zeng Xiaoyu is very likely to have quietly broken through to the realm of the acquired fivefold!
Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain why Zeng Xiaoyu easily defeated Zeng Can with just one move.
The unexpected joy made Zeng Chengfeng's mood comfortable.
In particular, he and the second elder Zeng Chenglei have never dealt with each other, and his most wasteful grandson defeated the other party's grandson, which made Zeng Chengfeng laugh out loud when he thought about it.
"I heard that you defeated the second family's can boy today?"
Zeng Chengfeng stared at Zeng Xiaoyu with a smile and asked.
"Yes, Grandpa! He insulted me as a piece of rubbish, so I taught him a lesson. ”
Zeng Xiaoyu replied truthfully.
After all, there is nothing to hide about this matter, and when the competition was first made, several teenagers in the family saw it, and if they wanted to deny it, they couldn't deny it.
"You're doing a great job! Kids like this who don't know how high the sky is and how thick the sky is, you should teach them a lesson!"
Zeng Chengfeng smiled in his eyes and nodded in affirmation of Zeng Xiaoyu's approach.
In the end, Zeng Chengfeng fell on Zeng Xiaoyu's body again, and asked solemnly: "What is the state of your current internal strength?"
"Five..."
Zeng Xiaoyu didn't finish speaking, but Zeng Chengfeng suddenly shook, got up from the chair, and a huge fist pounced on Zeng Xiaoyu's face.
Zeng Xiaoyu was shocked, he didn't expect his grandfather to sneak attack him.
However, Zeng Xiaoyu has gone through hardships, and his heart has already become very firm.
Although Zeng Xiaoyu was not shocked, he hurriedly blasted out his fist flatly, colliding with Zeng Chengfeng's fist.
However, in order to avoid being too shocking, Zeng Xiaoyu deliberately collected the internal force in his body, and only exerted a fist strength equivalent to the five times after tomorrow.
