The headquarters of Aijia is located in Wanhua City, Canglan Region, Xuanwu Prefecture.

Wanhua City is located in the mountains, facing the mountains on all sides, the highest in the middle, you can see the movement around at a glance, the most wonderful thing is that there are natural dangers on all sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Ai family can survive for more than 500 years, and this terrain is not unrelated.

In addition, the mountains on all sides have a variety of flowers blooming all year round, like a strange sea of flowers. If the wind blows and the sea of flowers fluctuates, the people in the city can also smell the refreshing fragrance of flowers in the air, which makes people forget to leave.

It is said that the Xiahou family initially had a grudge with the Ai family in order to seize this treasure land.

"It's beautiful. ”

Approaching the City of Ten Thousand Flowers, Guanjian Hou looked at the scene of thousands of flowers blooming outside the carriage and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hahaha, this is not the most beautiful, in early spring, countless butterflies shuttle in the sea of flowers, that scene is unforgettable. ”

Ai Wenhong proudly showed off.

Soon after, several wagons stopped in front of a narrow valley. The mountain walls on both sides are straight and steep, hundreds of meters high, and each has a sentry post, which is one of the natural hazards in the north.

"Who's coming?"

Two figures appeared on the inner side of the valley.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Ai Wenhong smiled: "Fifth brother, ninth brother, it's me." ”

"It turned out to be the little master. ”

The two nodded kindly, and disappeared into the valley again.

Shi Xiaole looked carefully inside the carriage, in addition to the natural danger, the valley should also have a wonderful formation, unless the spiritual power is as strong as him, or if he is a formation master, it is difficult to find out.

The carriage passed through the valley and crossed a long arched stone bridge, passing through five checkpoints before finally entering the City of Ten Thousand Flowers.

"It is said that Wanhua City is tightly guarded, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter it for the rest of their lives, but today is considered to be an insight. ”

Yang Feng looked at the vendors on the street and couldn't help but sigh.

Shi Xiaole nodded.

Along the way, he had already learned from Ai Wenhong that the residents in Wanhua City were either members of the Ai family's headquarters or subordinate forces of the Ai family, all in all, they were all inextricably linked with the Ai family.

Without this relationship, it would be extremely difficult for outsiders to enter Wanhua City, and even if they entered the city, they would not be free, and it was said that they would be closely monitored.

In Nuoda City, only the government belongs to the imperial court, but in fact, the orders of the government are not easy to use in Wanhua City, just a decoration on the surface.

The imperial court also knew this, but for some reason, there has been no action.

Probably to his own territory, Ai Wenhong enthusiastically introduced the customs and customs of the city to Shi Xiaole and the others, pointing from time to time, and soon, the carriage stopped in front of a huge mansion.

This is the famous Ai Mansion in Xuanwu Prefecture.

The front of Aifu has long been full of people, worthy of being a prestigious family, with outstanding temperament and good manners, and even the subordinates who are accompanying them have an indescribable atmosphere.

Subconsciously, Shi Xiaole looked at the old man who was being supported in the middle.

This gentleman has white hair, dark spots on his face, and his eyes are a little cloudy, like an ordinary old man who smiles kindly when he sees the child returning.

"Grandpa. ”

Ai Wenqian and Ai Wenhong stepped forward in unison.

It's hard to believe that this old man who doesn't look amazing is the head of the Ai family, Ai Renxiong, who once fought with the Xiahou family and once set off a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes.

"Okay, hehe, after a lot of training, I have matured a lot. ”

Ai Renxiong smiled from ear to ear, nodded with the wine beggar first, and then looked at Shi Xiaole and the three of them, and said, "The inferior grandson is not more troublesome, and the three of them will help each other." ”

Guanjian Hou and Yang Feng were flattered, Shi Xiaole also lowered his head and hugged his fists, and said in a loud voice: "The head of the Ai family is highly respected, how dare you greet it in person, you are guilty of sin." ”

Everyone in the Ai family looked at Shi Xiaole in unison, their sharp eyes were like searchlights, looking from beginning to end.

Dressed in a green shirt and tied with a blue scarf on his head.

Is this the immortal genius who defeated the 'Little Venerable' Yu Zhao at the Linjiang Immortal Meeting and made all the heroes bow down, Shi Xiaole?

When the news first spread, everyone in the Ai family, like other ordinary people, couldn't believe their ears, and it wasn't until they confirmed it again and again that they were convinced that the news was undoubted.

Rumors about Shi Xiaole have been very loud these days, and there are all kinds of theories, but there is one thing in common, they praise him as the only one in the sky and unparalleled on earth.

However, even so, after seeing the real person with their own eyes, the people of the Ai family still received a strong impact.

They have never seen such an indifferent temperament in any young person, no, it is no longer indifferent, but faintly with a detached taste.

People's temperament has a lot to do with their own character and encounters.

What has this young man experienced, has he never met an opponent worthy of attention in his life since his debut?

But everyone in the Ai family had to admit that the detachment on Shi Xiaole's body was by no means a pretentious detachment, but more like a natural charm, which made people involuntarily want to pay attention to him and appreciate him.

"A dragon among men. ”

"It's better to see than to hear. ”

"Sure enough, it was the first day of Xuanwu Prefecture, and I saw it. ”

Many people applauded in their hearts.

"Shi Gongzi underestimates himself too much, a kendo wizard like you has never appeared in Xuanwu Prefecture. In front of you, the old man has nothing to show off except for eating rice for a few more years. ”

Ai Renxiong quipped.

The crowd burst into laughter.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Ai family held a grand feast, and the old man Ai Renxiong personally drank three glasses of wine, and then went back to the room to rest with the support of several daughters-in-law.

After the banquet, the father of Evanqian was the abbot, and the banquet was staggered, and the guests and hosts were happy, so it was not lively.

Guanjian Hou and Yang Feng were drunk one after another under the joint efforts of the juniors of the Ai family, and Shi Xiaole became the target of their siege. Suffering from being entangled, he had to pretend to be drunk, and then he got out smoothly.

Shi Xiaole knew that tonight's banquet was by no means as simple as welcoming the three of them, they didn't have that much weight, and most of them were related to the action of severely damaging the Xiahou family.

The days gradually calmed down.

In the first few days, the juniors of the Ai family often found Shi Xiaole and wanted to learn from him. Later, it was probably the elders who spoke, and finally settled down, and Shi Xiaole was able to cultivate wholeheartedly.

In addition to being obsessed with martial arts, another factor that forces him to keep moving forward is revenge.

Shi Xiaole's enemies were the Tianyuan Guild Master, Lu Zixiong, one of the fifty masters of Shuntiandu, and the Spring Festival Hell Prison Master, Zi Xiangbo, who was not inferior in strength to the former.

With his current strength, Mo said that the two of them, even the servants around them could not compare. Only cultivation can allow him to continue to make progress and shorten the time for revenge as soon as possible.

He will not let his enemies be proud for too long!

"My internal strength, true intentions, and cultivation have all reached a bottleneck for the time being, and it is difficult to continue to improve, so maybe I can work my moves. ”

The system's monthly free extraction continues, perhaps because of the arrival in Xuanwu Prefecture, the probability of winning a second-rate level martial arts has obviously increased a lot.

Although it is not necessarily swordsmanship, but the way of martial arts, pay attention to the sea and all rivers, accumulate a lot, and participate in other martial arts, which can also greatly increase his perception and heritage, and lay the foundation for the future.

Of course, Shi Xiaole's greatest hope is that he can still get a first-class swordsmanship or above. In that way, with his understanding and strength, he will be able to continue to advance by leaps and bounds on this basis!

Surprises always happen inadvertently.

A few days later, an Ai family master came and invited Shi Xiaole to the head of the family's study.

"Shi Gongzi, the old man knows that you are not a person who twists and turns, so he will get straight to the point. ”

Ai Renxiong looked directly at Shi Xiaole, cleared his throat, and said, "What do you think of the old man and granddaughter, how is Ai Wenqian?"

"It's beautiful, it's powerful, it's the best of my generation, no matter what. ”

Stunned, Shi Xiaole replied truthfully.

Ai Renxiong nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, why don't you let the old man call the shots and marry her to you, how about it?"

Although he vaguely guessed the other party's thoughts, Shi Xiaole still couldn't cry or laugh, and said quietly: "Old man Ai, I have only met my granddaughter Ling a few times, and I have no emotional foundation yet, but I am afraid that it will not work, and my granddaughter will not agree." ”

"Alas, the refusal is so fast, it seems that you can't look down on Akane. ”

Ai Renxiong waved his hand, interrupted Shi Xiaole's defense, and said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, the old man just asked casually, and there was no reluctance, but the girl herself was not blessed." ”

Knowing that this move might hurt his relationship with the Ai family, Shi Xiaole had to do it. Feelings are such a thing, half a point is reluctant, otherwise it is two people who are suffering.

"Xiaole, I hope you will allow the old man to call you that. Over the years, the old man has met all kinds of people, but he has never seen someone like you. ”

"The Ai family seems to be prosperous now, but the future is unpredictable, and the old man can't help but worry when he is old. Hehe, when the time comes, I hope you can help me or two. ”

Shi Xiaole said: "Old man Ai, don't worry, Wen Hong and I are friends, he is in trouble, I will not stand idly by." ”

Ai Renxiong laughed happily, suddenly handed out a waist card, and said: "This is the token of the Ai family library, hold this token, all the cheats can be read at will, give it to you." ”

"This, the old man must not. ”

Shi Xiaole was shocked and hurriedly excused himself.

Cheats are the most valuable and important resource of any force. Ai Renxiong's move simply regarded him as the most descendant of the Ai family, and his affection was like a mountain.

"Xiaole, you are a smart person, if you really regard my Ai family as a friend, please accept it, otherwise nothing has happened today. ”

Ai Renxiong placed the token on the table, looking at his nose and nose.

There is no good thing in the world for no reason.

Although he believes that Shi Xiaole is a chivalrous person, and if the Ai family is in trouble in the future, he will never sit idly by, but he always feels that the relationship between Shi Xiaole and Ai Wenhong alone is not safe, so there is today's scene.

As for whether Shi Xiaole will spread it after reading the cheats, there is no need to worry. Disclosing the cheats of the Ai family does him no good, and may also attract the hostility of his Ai family, no one is so stupid.

In short, this is a bet, Ai Renxiong is betting on Shi Xiaole's achievements and character.

In the suffocating silence.

Shi Xiaole stood up, hugged his fists, and said: "In this case, I have the courage to accept it, thank you to Mr. Ai, and please rest assured, I will never pass on any of the secret books of the Ai family in Xia." ”
