came to bring the wings, Sun Ren called a thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid in Tsing Yi and instructed: "This Liu Gongzi is the apprentice of the second master, and he is here for a while today, you go to clean up the two clean wings, and now you are dedicated to serving Liu Gongzi's daily life, and you must not be lazy." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The maid saw that Steward Sun personally led people over, and was still guessing the identity of the person who came, and now she heard that it was the apprentice of the second master, and she immediately became nervous.

"The second master brought an apprentice back to his house. ”

I don't know who first came out, but the news of Liu Ming's arrival spread in Liu's mansion in an instant like wings.

"The second master's apprentice, my mother, who has such a good chance to be favored by the second master. ”

"Didn't the second master not accept apprentices, my father begged the second master several times, but he was rejected"

"With your qualifications, you don't look in the mirror, and now it's still the late stage of body refining, and the second master will take a fancy to you?"

"This Liu Gongzi must be extremely talented, I think it is at least above Qi training. I don't know who is more powerful with the third young master. ”

Of course, in the face of these rumors, some people secretly sneered: "Second uncle's apprentice, interesting, I want to see if I have the opportunity, what is capable." ”

Compared with the boiling outside, the Liu family's study was still peaceful, and Liu Ziyun and the head of the Liu family, that is, his eldest brother Liu Zifeng, sat opposite each other.

"The second brother came back from this experience, and his demeanor is better than before, it seems that his cultivation has made considerable progress, and he is expected to tie the Dan. Liu Zifeng said with a smile on his face.

Liu Ziyun smiled dumbly, he knew that he was not cultivating to grow, but because he brought back his nephew, his wish was granted, so he was in good spirits at happy events, which made the eldest brother have a delusion. But that's not for sure.

He had no choice but to acquiesce and said with a smile: "This experience has indeed gained a lot, and the younger brother will tell the elder brother later." But if you want to talk about Yudan, the younger brother doesn't dare to say anything. I don't know what happened when my brother called Ziyun over. ”

"What the foolish brother wants to discuss with the second brother is the problem of this Zixiamen selection competition. In the past, the Liu family had three places, but if this year's selection competition, my Liu family continues to rank low in the ring, it may fall out of the top ten, and there are only two places left, so Brother Yu has been worried, waiting for you to come back and discuss. Liu Zifeng said worriedly.

After Liu Ziyun heard this, he was also silent, the Liu family has been deliberately suppressed by the Zhao family in recent years, and the situation has deteriorated, the sphere of influence has been continuously eroded, and the resources obtained are getting less and less, resulting in the cultivation speed of the children of the family has also decreased, and the distance with other wealthy families has gradually widened, so every time the ring competition in Qiantang Mansion has been ranked low, if it were not for the secret support of a few good families, I am afraid that they would have been removed from the top ten families long ago.

Fortunately, there was a Liu Fang who supported the door last year, and this year, there is no top-notch one among the children of the family. Headache.

The two of them sat in the city of sorrow, and finally Liu Ziyun raised his head and said: "This year, several other families have produced several geniuses, and the strength of our Liu Jiaming will definitely not be able to fight, I will go to the Zhang family in a while, negotiate with them, borrow a master to come over, and at the same time, open the spirit gathering array, and directly promote Huan'er and Hong'er to the middle of the qi refining period, so that they can use stronger spells, so that among the five people who play, the three of them can win a few games, and they should be able to keep the tenth place." ”

"Borrowing people?" Liu Zifeng was a little puzzled, "Although the Zhang family is strong, they have always been friendly with the Zhao family, and borrowing people from them is tantamount to seeking skin from the tiger." ”

"In exchange for the quota of Zixiamen, the Zhang family is mercenary, as long as they can afford the price that makes them happy, it is to let Zhang Papi challenge the ancestor of the Zhao family, and he will agree. Liu Ziyun said affirmatively.

"Zixiamen's quota to change, it seems that the gain outweighs the loss, even if we get the tenth place, get three places, and exchange one place, the Liu family will have two left, and if it falls outside the top ten by then, then there will be only one left for us." Liu Zifeng looked at his younger brother puzzled, not understanding why Liu Ziyun, who had always been shrewd, would think of using this way.

Liu Ziyun sighed: "The younger brother also knows that this method is inappropriate, but although the world is big, my Liu family really has no way out." If you don't do your best to maintain your position in the top ten, I'm afraid you won't be able to suppress those young people who have been eyeing the Liu family, and you won't have an equal identity to win over allies. That's why I had to make this move, make a desperate bet, and at the same time let Liu Huan and Liu Hong practice their qi to increase their hopes of victory. ”

Liu Zifeng understands that what the second brother said is right, although his cultivation is not as good as Liu Ziyun, he masters the customs affairs of the Liu family, often deals with various families and clans, and sees the world more thoroughly. It's good not to fall into the ground.

Thinking of the sunset of the family, Liu Zifeng couldn't help but sigh: "Even if you pass this year, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult next year." The foolish brother is incompetent, if the third brother is still there, with his ability, how can my Liu family be here. Thinking of his third brother, he couldn't help but feel sad and tearful.

Liu Ziyun saw that his brother missed the third brother so much, and he almost couldn't help but tell the truth about the third brother's situation, but he was afraid that Liu Zifeng had a deep brotherly affection, lest he care too much about Liu Ming and arouse the suspicion of others.

Therefore, I had to suppress my inner impulse. relieved: "Next year, brother don't worry, the younger brother has a countermeasure, just tell the brother." ”

Liu Zifeng heard that Liu Ziyun had a countermeasure, so he felt a little comforted, thinking that his second brother had always planned and decided, and he would not take risks easily if he was not sure. So he calmed down, looked at Liu Ziyun with expectant eyes, and quietly listened to his plan.

"This outing, the younger brother met a young man with extraordinary qualifications, Liu Ming, although the realm is not high, but his personality and character are the best choice, so he will be taken under the door. After I train for a year, I will definitely be able to shine in the ring next year. Add glory to my Liu family. ”

Liu Zifeng was a little relieved when he heard this, so he put away Qi Rong and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the second brother, I finally found a good talent, such a happy event, tomorrow the foolish brother should hold a feast and inform the whole house, Liu Ming should be treated, and the same as Huan'er, Hong'er and other descendants." Tomorrow's family banquet, you bring him over, the foolish brother wants to see what kind of talent he is, which can make the second brother blue-eyed. ”

After speaking, he laughed, and all the unhappiness that had accumulated in his heart all day long was finally cleared.

When the whole Liu Mansion was restless because of Liu Ming's arrival, the initiator, Liu Ming, was sitting cross-legged on the bed at the moment, closing his eyes and thinking about his future direction.

When he arrived at the Liu family, the exercises of practicing qi were not a problem, and the resources should not be less, and the second uncle, as a master of the pinnacle of foundation building, guided his own cultivation, let alone a problem. Everything looks so good, the only regret is that his cultivation is indeed too low, and he is not even ordinary in Liu Mansion, let alone the entire Qiantang Mansion. At the moment, it is imperative to quickly improve the strength.

The way to quickly improve one's strength, in addition to cultivating hard, is only left with medicinal materials. There should be a lot more medicinal materials in the state capital than in the county seat, and it seems that there is more to find an opportunity to go outside and see if you can find some elixirs.

After making up his mind, Liu Ming cleaned up his mood and began to meditate and practice calmly. Although the journey was tired, Liu Ming had deeply realized the meaning of an inch of time and an inch of gold, and secretly regretted that he had wasted his youth in his youth and ignorance. The past cannot be admonished, the coming can still be chased, and now he, in addition to catching up, has no lax capital, and it is a waste of life to rest for a moment.

At the door, Liu Ziyun happened to come back from the study, he originally wanted to find Liu Ming to explain some details, but seeing that Liu Ming was already meditating, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again. After gently closing the door, he quietly left, lest it affect Liu Ming's cultivation.
