Chapter 115: Thoughts

The atmosphere in front of the hall seemed to freeze in an instant, no one spoke for a while, Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu were stunned, Zhong Liancheng standing on the steps was almost undisguised disgust, and the only calm Ji Anfu was standing behind Zhong Liancheng, looking at Shen Shi in front of him with an expressionless face.

Shen Shi looked at Zhong Liancheng, looking at the blue and white haggard and hateful face, a wave of disgust welled up in his heart, and at the same time, he felt that the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and even subconsciously clenched his fists.

But after a while, Shen Shi saw Zhong Qinglu standing beside him out of the corner of his eye, and after taking a deep breath, he finally reluctantly suppressed the anger surging in his heart, but the expression on his face had already sunk. In the past, he had a calm and cautious temperament, but after all, he was only a young man of twenty years old, so how could he really be completely devoid of edges and corners? Not to mention that although he had a lot of hardships when he was uprooted from his hometown when he was a teenager, no one had ever insulted and scolded him in front of him, whether it was in Xilu City in Yinzhou or when he entered the Lingxiao Sect to cultivate in the future.

It felt like being slapped in the face.

"May I ask Senior Zhong, where did Shen Shi provoke Your Excellency to speak so badly?" Shen Shi stood in place, looking at Zhong Liancheng in front of him, and said in a cold tone.

Zhong Liancheng raised his eyebrows, and he seemed to be even more annoyed when he looked at it, but Zhong Qinglu, who was standing beside Shen Shi at this moment, reacted from his shock, stepped on it, but walked in front of Shen Shi, looked at Zhong Liancheng and frowned and said angrily:

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about over there, Shen Shi is my fellow disciple and brother, and he has always been ...... You've always had a good relationship with me, and you've helped me a lot, so you're hurting people, what are you doing?"

Zhong Liancheng glanced at his daughter, and saw that Zhong Qinglu's beautiful face was slightly red at the moment, her teeth were clenched, and she glared at herself angrily, obviously angry. But when Zhong Liancheng saw Zhong Qinglu's appearance, he was even more furious, and said angrily: "Bastard, are you talking to your father? Don't let me go to the backyard to stay." And you, Shen Shi, the Zhong family had nothing to do with you before, and it will not be in the future, and in the future, you will practice together on Jinhong Mountain, and please have a lot of self-respect. The door is shabby, and I can't accommodate Your Excellency, so I won't be far away!"

In the end, Shen Shi's face sank like water when he heard it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his hands shook slightly, almost faintly visible. This kind of encounter of being sarcastically and abused in person is really an unbearable humiliation, not to mention that Zhong Liancheng's words are meaningful, and the unbearable parts are really full of anger.

The words have reached this point, naturally there is no need to continue to stay, the dignified man has a clear conscience, how can he be humiliated here in vain Shen Shi snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Zhong Qing was extremely angry, and stomped his feet to catch up with him, but Zhong Liancheng roared from behind: "You stop me!"

Zhong Qinglu turned around, but his face was fearless, he looked directly at his father, and said angrily: "Shen Shi, what did he do to provoke you, today is just his first visit, and you are going crazy here?"

Zhong Liancheng was furious, pointed at Zhong Qinglu and said, "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, you dare to say that I'm crazy?"

Zhong Qinglu looked at it, but her cheeks were red with anger, and she protested: "If you don't go crazy, will you say such things?"

As he spoke, he didn't look back, and ran directly to the door, chasing Shen Shi.

Zhong Liancheng was so angry that his whole body trembled, his fingers trembled and pointed at Zhong Qinglu's back, and he said in a stacked voice: "Disobedience, disobedience, this unfilial daughter, how much effort the old man spent on her, but the result was, but, but ......."

Ji Anfu next to him saw that Zhong Liancheng's face was wrong, and hurriedly came over to help him, helped him to sit down in the room, and comforted him in a low voice while caressing his back: "Senior Zhong, stop being angry, stop being angry, don't be angry......"

Zhong Liancheng was angry for a while, took a deep breath, and said: "That stinky boy is really not a good person, did you see it just now, what kind of look does that guy look at me, he is really a narrow-minded villain!"

Ji Anfu was silent, but he secretly thought to himself in his heart: No matter who it is, as soon as you come up, you will be scolded for such a beating, and it is impossible for anyone to have a good face. But thinking like this in his heart, of course he couldn't say this in his mouth, so he still followed Zhong Liancheng's words and scolded Shen Shi a few words, and said:

"Shen Shi has always misbehaved on Jinhong Mountain, and has done a lot of bad things, and this person has a bad heart, but he pretends to be well-behaved and loyal in front of some beautiful female disciples, which is really hateful. ”

Zhong Liancheng became more and more annoyed, and scolded for a while, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, glanced back at Ji Anfu, frowned and asked, "By the way, what you just told me is true, right, this kid really doesn't have any family background?"

Ji Anfu nodded, and said: "Senior, don't worry, I have already gone to hear the news earlier, this guy is indeed just a commoner, and I don't know what luck he took to sneak into the Lingxiao Sect, but his nature is bad, he is really not a good person, but he seems to have bad intentions towards Miss Zhong, so I can't look past it before, so I told the truth." ”

Zhong Liancheng breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to be very concerned about whether Shen Shi had a backer, but after confirming from Ji Anfu's mouth that Shen Shi really had nothing, he suddenly reverted to his original disgust, sneered, and said: "The toad wants to eat swan meat, and he can't help himself." ”

"What kind of toad, what is swan meat?" A word with anger suddenly came from the door, and the two looked back in shock, but it was Zhong Qinglu who walked over with an angry face, and didn't look at Ji Anfu, just looked at his father, and said,

"Dad, what kind of medicine did you take today, why are you so rude to the guests I brought back!"

Zhong Liancheng snorted coldly and said, "I can't do things before you talk more, anyway, you listen to me, that kid is not a good person, you must not fall for him, in case there are any indecent rumors, where will our Zhong family's face be put then?"

Zhong Qinglu was stunned for a moment, then his cheeks instantly turned red, and he even stuttered a little, and said, "What, what?"

Zhong Liancheng said impatiently: "Anyway, that's the way things are, that kid doesn't want to climb high on you, we are not the same person as him." ”

Zhong Qinglu was embarrassed and angry, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and at this moment, Ji Anfu next to him was a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly, which was regarded as a reminder of the existence of a father and daughter who were all angry.

Zhong Qinglu gritted her teeth, glanced at Ji Anfu, and said coldly, "Senior Brother Ji, why did you come to my house?"

Ji Anfu turned a blind eye to Zhong Qinglu's indifference, his face was calm, and he said with a smile: "Senior Sister Zhong, it was Senior Sister Min who asked me to come over and pass a message to you, Elder Yunni will be out of the customs in a few days, and has already passed out the decree, and will hold an alchemy event among the disciples of the Dan Hall after a month to examine everyone's attainments in the Dan Dao." I guess you understand the meaning of this, Senior Sister Zhong, right?"

Zhong Qinglu's body was shocked, the anger on her face disappeared in an instant, but it was replaced by a solemnity, and after a moment of silence, her good-looking brows furrowed slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "Is this her old man going to confirm the final candidate for apprenticeship?"

Ji Anfu nodded and said, "Exactly." Now in the Dan Hall, Senior Sister Zhong, your talents are outstanding, but you must also know that the most important thing in our Lingxiao Sect is talent, for the much-anticipated disciple throne of Elder Yun, several other senior brothers are also gearing up. ”

Zhong Qinglu was silent for a moment and said, "Senior Brother Ji, I remember that the Dan meeting in previous years was in February of the following year after March, why was it suddenly advanced this year?"

Ji Anfu smiled and said, "Senior Sister Zhong, have you forgotten that next year will be the ten-year Four Righteous Famous Sect Conference?"

Zhong Qinglu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, nodded, and said: "I see, next August is the Sizheng Conference, according to the usual rules, our sect will compete to select a group of elite disciples, and go to the Yuan Shimen with the real people in charge." In this way, Elder Yunni wanted to pick her own closed disciple before this. ”

Ji Anfu said with a smile: "That's it, that's how I am talented in Dan Dao, but Senior Sister Zhong, you are very talented, if you can be accepted by Elder Yunni, your future will definitely be limitless, so Senior Sister Min asked me to tell you that you should put down all the idle things at home first, return to the mountain as soon as possible, and take advantage of this period of time to focus on stepping up training, so as to take the lead in the Dan Society." ”

Zhong Qinglu nodded slowly, and Zhong Liancheng, who was standing on the side, listened all the way, with a look of great joy on his face, he had already thrown his anger and disgust for Shen Shi out of the clouds, and said in a stacked voice: "Okay, okay, then Qinglu, you go back quickly, if you still need anything, just say quickly, everything must be for you to worship under Elder Yunni first!"

Zhong Qinglu snorted and didn't speak, Ji Anfu glanced at their father and daughter, and said goodbye with interest, when he walked out of the door, a smug smile still appeared on his face, and he said in his heart: Let your kid be rampant on weekdays, haven't you been cheated by my careless words? But this Zhong family head also seems to be unbearable, no wonder the Zhong family is so defeated now.

Thinking like this in his heart, Ji Anfu shook his head slightly, both a little complacent and a little disappointed, his mood was a little complicated for no reason, and he went to take care of himself.

In the living room, Zhong Qinglu glanced at his father, wanted to speak and stopped, and at the end he was a little dazed, sighed, and turned around and walked out. Standing at the door, she looked at the back of Shen Shi who had already reached the distance, and there was a moment of trance for a while, if she was lost, she was disappointed, nervous, and a little dazed.

Recalling the mood at that moment before, Zhong Qinglu didn't know what was wrong with him, and he had some mixed feelings in his heart, thinking that he would still go to Shen Shi to apologize in person after returning to the mountain, and then he was a little worried that Shen Shi would be inexplicably humiliated, whether he would be angry and angry, or simply cut off with his side in anger, and even the private transaction was broken from then on.

It's just that she is thinking about a mess in her heart here, but she has never realized what damage Shen Shi will do to her alchemy entry if she breaks off the transaction, or in her heart, she doesn't think about it at all.

She just walked alone into the garden, stood among a cluster of flowers, stood silently, stunned, but for a while she seemed to be stupid, and stood for a long time.
