Chapter 165: Yang Mou

"Sun You, who is that? I don't know. Old man Pu shook his head and took another sip of wine.

Shen Shi smiled and said, "A good friend of mine, who I met when I joined the sect in the same year, in addition, he is also the grandson of Elder Sun, the second in the current generation of the Sun family, and his father is also the second son of Elder Sun." ”

Old man Pu was stunned for a moment, slowly put down the wine jar in his hand, glanced at Shen Shi, and said, "Sun Mingyang's grandson of the old goods?"

Shen Shi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Old man Pu's eyes flashed slightly, but the expression on his face did not change, and he said, "You kid can make friends, what's wrong, something?"

Shen Shi sighed and said, "I came to complain to me, saying that there is still a place for Elder Sun's personal disciple under his name, and on the occasion of the upcoming Four Righteous Conference, Elder Sun decided to take care of his own children and planned to accept a Sun family member. But in the end, the place was chosen by his eldest brother Sun Heng, so his future was bleak, and he was disappointed and angry in his heart, and there was no one to tell, so he came to me to vent his bitterness. ”

Old man Pu smiled, took a sip of wine, shook his head but did not speak.

Shen Shi continued, and said: "The disciple also heard a news, just like the rules when you accepted me as an apprentice, Elder Sun is among the five elders, and you also have to invite more than one Yuan Dan Realm elder to observe the examination, I heard that Elder Sun invited Elder Jin Zhan of the Spirit Beast Palace, and then the examination school was for Senior Brother Sun Heng to have a battle on the mountain, and the opponent was ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped speaking, with a somewhat strange expression on his face.

Old man Pu glanced at him and said, "What is the opponent?"

Shen Shi coughed and said, "I heard that the opponent that Elder Sun arranged for Senior Brother Sun Heng was a black-striped turtle. ”

Old man Pu was stunned, and seemed to be a little unable to react for a while, and said in amazement: "What?"

Shen Shi pursed his lips, and the expression on his face also looked a little mocking, and said, "A black-striped turtle, the kind that has been raised a lot under the Spirit Beast Palace. ”

Old man Pu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped up and said angrily: "How can this old man be so shameless!"

The black-veined turtle is a common low-level demon beast in captivity in the beast field of His Royal Highness the Spirit Beast, with a gentle temperament and low combat power, basically when encountering an enemy, his head and limbs shrank into the hard shell, and the turtle couldn't shrink out, and let others toss it, without the power to fight back. The Spirit Beast Hall keeps this kind of black-veined turtle in captivity, and what it is made of is that the shell of the black-veined turtle after adulthood is considered a kind of spiritual material that can be used for refining.

It's just such a weak spirit beast, almost only being beaten and won't fight back, but he was chosen as Sun Heng's opponent for the school examination, the meaning of this is self-evident, of course, it is just a casual formality, this disciple I have settled.

Originally, it stands to reason that Elder Sun Mingyang could accept apprentices as he wanted, and no one could control and there was no reason to meddle in things, but a while ago, when Elder Pu of the Shutang was planning to accept Shen Shi as an apprentice, Elder Sun came out and said a few words, and also said a test of going to the Coral Sea to find the Silver Light Sea Anemone Pearl.

The difficulty of the two examinations before and after is really too different, and the contrast is too stark.

Old man Pu scolded and scolded for a while in his mouth, looking very annoyed, but after a while, his face suddenly sank, but he looked at Shen Shi and said, "I've never heard of this, how did you know?"

Shen Shi looked calm and said calmly: "Sun You told me, and this matter has indeed not been made public yet, Elder Sun probably planned to do it first in a few days when the school examination was conducted, and naturally no one had anything to say afterwards." Sun You may be disgruntled, and he is also a child of the Sun family, so he learned the news from the mouth of the Sun family who was close to Elder Sun. ”

Old man Pu let out an "oh", suddenly smiled, and said, "Your friend has a deep friendship with you." ”

Shen Shi smiled and said, "I have a good relationship with Sun You, but what he said, he should still want me to convey these words to you, to see if you will be able to intervene in this matter, and I can't say whether it will be successful or not, but he may always have such a hope in case." ”

Old man Pu originally looked a little playful, but when he heard this, he was stunned again, his expression obviously stagnated, and he frowned: "Stinky boy, you ...... Why did you say it so frankly, shouldn't you try to find a way to see the old man's mood side by side, and then try to encourage the old man to fight with Old Man Sun in the past?"

Shen Shi shook his head, pulled a chair from the side and invited Old Man Pu to sit down, and said at the same time: "Although the disciple is stupid, but doing things like that is like calculating the master, I can't do it." And Master, you have always been kind to me, what is the matter, the disciple spread it out and said clearly, why hide it, but be like a villain?"

Old man Pu glanced at Shen Shi, and suddenly grinned, but he pulled Shen Shi over, patted his head lightly with his hand, and said with a smile: "The stinky boy is very smart." ”

Shen Shi smiled, and then smiled: "Then Master, what are your plans for this matter?"

Old man Pu snorted and said, "Even though Old Man Sun is not a good person, but he is a real Yuan Dan realm in the Tao, this is to let the old man and I carry a Yuan Dan real person, is there any benefit, let's hear it first?"

Shen Shi shook his head and said, "It's no good." ”

Old man Pu was furious, patted the back of the chair, and said angrily: "Bastard, are you embarrassed to let me go if it's no good?"

Shen Shi thought for a moment, and then said tentatively, "Then does disgusting that Elder Sun count?"

Old man Pu frowned and said, "What do you say?"

Shen Shi said: "The school examination arranged by Elder Sun for his grandson was originally a joke, and anyone can see that it was just a formality. Master, if you interfere, it will be nothing more than two results, one is that this matter was criticized in the past, but in the end, Elder Sun didn't dump you and still did it, which made him angry, annoyed and irritable, and it was definitely disgusting to him; In this way, there will inevitably be-for-tat between the two rooms in the Sun family, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of fighting in the future, presumably Elder Sun will also have a headache about this, but this counts, but it is a great disgusting thing for him. ”

In the end, Shen Shi pursed his lips, nodded in conclusion, and said, "Well, anyway, it will definitely disgust Elder Sun, so it depends on Master, what do you think of that Elder Sun Mingyang?"

Old man Pu glared at Shen Shi and said, "Stinky boy, why are you so bad, does Sun Mingyang's old man have a grudge against you?"

Shen Shi shook his head and said: "There is no hatred, and the disciple's realm of Taoism is really different from his old man, where can he talk about any grudges." ”

Old man Pu smiled: "Then why do you want to help that Sun You?"

Shen Shi said lightly: "First, Sun You is my friend, I really want to help him have a better future; second, a character like Elder Sun, but he deliberately embarrassed us when Master you accepted me as an apprentice, your old man doesn't care, I went to the bottom of the sea to be tired and half dead and even almost had my life in danger." Hatred can't be said, but the two of us are talking here in private, and I can't secretly see that he is not pleasing to the eye, okay?"

Old man Pu stroked his palms and laughed, looking very happy, pointing at Shen Shi and smiling: "You kid...... Hahaha, not bad, not bad!"

Shen Shi shrugged his shoulders and smiled without saying a word.

Liuyun City, the Zhong family's residence.

Under the Lingxiao Sect, among the four most prestigious vassal families in Liuyun City, now the Hou family has been defeated, and the family business has also been divided among other families, and the glory of the past has been blown away, which is needless to say. And among the remaining three families, the Sun family has Sun Mingyang's ancestor on top, like the sun is in the sky, and the momentum is unique for a while; and the Xu family seems to be low-key, but the family rules in the clan are solemn and solemn, and there are many strange people under the command, and the hidden strength cannot be underestimated, and it can be faintly compared with the Sun family.

In contrast, the situation of this last Zhong family is much worse, the word "middle in the family" has been placed on the head of the Zhong family many years ago, and the talent adjustment and family business have shrunk, until today, in the Lingxiao Sect, there are suddenly two daughters from the Zhong family who are widely optimistic, which can be regarded as a little improved.

It's just a huge family, and all the hopes are now on the two young girls, and the current embarrassing situation of the Zhong family can be imagined. And no matter what, Zhong Qinglu and Zhong Qingzhu are just ordinary disciples of the Ning Yuan Realm after all, even though they may have extraordinary talents and have a promising future in the future, but there are so many geniuses and heroes in the Hongmeng Cultivation Realm, but after a long time, the characters who can really grow from the young trees and towering trees are so rare.

Temperament, circumstances, chance, diligence and even luck, it is extremely difficult to become a figure standing on the top of all beings, so although there are two sisters of the Zhong family, in Liuyun City, there are not too many people who are optimistic about the Zhong family now.

Although the Zhong family has been declining for many years, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there are still some family businesses, such as the Zhong family's ancestral mansion, which is very spacious and decent, and is one of the most decent mansions in Liuyun City. However, the world has changed over time, and the Xuanhe of that day has long since died, and many places in the Zhong family's mansion are also showing a dilapidated appearance, from the inside to the outside.

In a secluded place in the backyard of the mansion, there is a small two-story building, and there is a fence outside, enclosing a small garden, which looks beautiful and quiet, and it is a good place to live.

This is the residence of Zhong Qingzhu's mother in the Zhong family, and every time Zhong Qingzhu comes back to visit his mother, he mostly lives here. However, on this day, Zhong Qingzhu's mother-in-law Liu was a little worried about her daughter, because after Zhong Qingzhu came back two days ago, he went against the habit of staying for about half a day at most on weekdays, but he stayed here for a few days, and he still didn't care.

In the past few days, Zhong Qingzhu did not have much abnormal looks in front of Liu's family, and when he spoke, he mostly chatted about daily trivial matters, as if mother and daughter talked heart-to-heart on weekdays, but in addition, Liu's family saw that when his daughter was alone, she always sat alone with a cold expression, stunned, and didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, but when she looked at it, she always felt that there was always a gloomy and depressed air between her daughter's delicate eyebrows, lingering, and even the bright eyes on weekdays seemed to be much darker.

Sitting in a small building, leaning on the window and looking into the distance, the small garden flower path wanders alone.

These may be the three things Zhong Qingzhu has done the most at home in the past few days.

The Liu family gradually became a little worried, she was originally a mortal, with a weak temperament, and when she took Zhong Qingzhu to the Zhong family, she was just a lowly cook, and she had no status. It's just that Zhong Qingzhu shines in the future and is very popular in the Lingxiao Sect, which makes her live a good life, but no matter what, in her heart, Qingzhu is still her beloved daughter who needs to be cared for.

So on this day, when she saw Zhong Qingzhu sitting alone in front of the window on the second floor for an hour without saying a word, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and planned to go upstairs to ask her well. It's just that just as she was making up her mind to go upstairs, she suddenly heard a voice from outside the door of Xiaoyuan, saying:

"Brother and sister, are you at home?"

Listening to that voice, it was Zhong Liancheng, the head of the Zhong family, who came here.
