Chapter 16: Tang Yan
"Splitting the Void Sword! It must be the Splitting Void Sword!"
Just as Xu Zijie was thinking, Elder Huang, who was sitting on his left, suddenly woke up like a dream.
"Void Splitting Sword Duel?"
Xu Zijie turned his head and looked at Elder Huang stupidly, "What kind of sword duel is the Splitting Void Sword Duel?"
Elder Huang's expression was unusually serious, and he let out a long sigh and said, "Family Master, don't you know, there are many ancient scrolls in our Xu Family Sword Pavilion, in fact, ordinary people have never seen them, probably only I will turn them over when I have nothing to do." A month ago, the eldest young master came to me to take this Splitting Void Sword Duel, and the sword that the eldest young master used just now must have learned from "Splitting Void Sword Duel"!"
"Oh?"
Xu Zijie was shocked, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "I naturally know the high-level sword duel in the Sword Pavilion, judging from the sword that Chen'er just used, this 'Splitting Void Sword Duel' is by no means an ordinary low-level sword duel. However, the high-level sword duel also needs advanced cultivation to urge, if the cultivation is not reached, how can it be urged?"
"Alas!"
Elder Huang shook his head, "This is also what I am puzzled about, and I have carefully read this book "Splitting the Void Sword Battle", in fact, it is just a fragment, there are only about three sword styles, I also advised the eldest young master not to practice at that time, but I really didn't expect that this one sword style alone has such power." ”
"Could it be that this sword technique doesn't need to be cultivated as a foundation at all?" Xu Zijie muttered.
Elder Huang looked strange and said vaguely, "Maybe!"
Xu Zijie nodded thoughtfully, but there was no smile on his face, as the head of the family, what he tried to achieve was stability, and the rapid progress of Xu Chen was not necessarily a good thing for him, one step at a time was the king.
After frowning, Xu Zijie asked in a low voice, "Elder Huang, since this Splitting Void Sword Decision is so powerful and doesn't require much cultivation, why didn't you find it in the morning?"
"This ......"
Elder Huang was speechless for a while, his main job was to take care of and tidy up the Sword Pavilion, although Xu Zijie asked calmly at this time, but in Elder Huang's ears, it was inevitable that there would be a feeling of being blamed.
After thinking about it for a long time, Elder Huang said with a little shame: "Family Master, I won't tell you, the wording of this sword duel is obscure, and most of it is like a fantasy, so I have always regarded it as a demon book with exaggerated words, but I didn't expect that the eldest young master can really understand the mysteries in the meantime, and I am really ashamed to be old!"
While they were talking, a swordsman came to the high platform with a panicked expression and muttered in Xu Zijie's ear for a long time.
Xu Zijie's face, which was not very happy, slowly climbed into shock, his face became more and more ugly, and after listening to the sword master's words, he nodded stiffly.
"Two elders, something big may have happened, you guys come with me!"
As he spoke, Xu Zijie got up and left the table, and the two elders looked at each other, not knowing why, but since the head of the family had already spoken, what could they ask more? The two also got up and left the table and followed behind Xu Zijie.
This test is a very important event in the family, and it will certainly not be a trivial matter to be able to make the head of the family leave in time at this time.
At the same time, the second battle has begun, and Xu Chen has already come to the crowd, waiting for the next battle.
Everyone in the square has long since lost interest in the battle on the field, and their fiery eyes are all on Xu Chen, they are talking and admiring, and they have long forgotten their discriminatory eyes and slanderous words.
Xu Chen shrugged his shoulders to himself, looking extremely unnatural, he subconsciously glanced at Xu Yang not far away, but he didn't expect that Xu Yang was also observing him sideways at this time.
The four looked at each other, one side was surprised, and the other side was expectant.
Xu Chen subconsciously looked at his left hand.
It's been a month, and his hand doesn't hurt as much as before, but who can understand his mood at this time? He smiled coldly at Xu Yang and turned his head.
This is just the beginning, and he has to get back on his feet, no longer being looked down upon and bullied.
Just then, a voice like a silver bell rang out.
"Brother Xu Chen!"
When Xu Chen heard this, he hurriedly followed the voice, and a girl walked over with a smile on her face, and her eyes never left Xu Chen's handsome cheeks for a moment.
However, Xu Chen looked at it for a long time and seemed to have some impressions, but in the end he still couldn't remember who this girl was.
The girl was wearing a light blue silk shirt, and when she saw Xu Chen turn her head, her face couldn't help but flush with shyness. She walked slowly to Xu Chen, gave a salute, and said softly, "Brother Xu Chen, do you still know me?"
"Hmmm......"
Xu Chen thought about it for a long time, shook his head embarrassedly, and said apologetically: "I really can't remember clearly." You ......"
The girl probably knew that Xu Chen couldn't remember, her red lips pursed slightly, and she sneered: "I know!" But it's no wonder, it's been ten years, if you hadn't participated in the test, I wouldn't have dared to recognize you." ”
"Yes, it's been 10 years......"
Xu Chen wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing what to say, his expression was so unnatural.
When the girl saw this, she couldn't help but smile slightly, "Okay! Brother Xu Chen, I'm Tang Yan!
"Tang Yan!"
When Xu Chen heard this, he suddenly realized.
Tang Yan is the daughter of his aunt's family, and she should be sixteen years old this year, he remembers that when he hasn't left the Xu family, this cousin often goes to the Xu Mansion to play, and when she comes to the Xu Mansion, she will only look for Xu Chen, and the relationship between the two is extremely close.
At that time, because Tang Yan was short and often had a runny nose, Xu Chen often gave her some ugly nicknames, and she couldn't help but smile when she thought about it.
However, the eighteenth change of the female university, and now that I look at it again, Tang Yan is graceful and slender, with bright eyes and bright teeth, coupled with her down-to-earth and generous appearance, she should be regarded as a big beauty even in Yong'an Town.
Xu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "I can't believe it, you've grown so big!"
Tang Yan glanced at Xu Chen with a smile, and said softly: "Brother Xu Chen, are you angry with me!"
"Angry with you?
Xu Chen didn't know why.
Tang Yan's delicate face twitched suddenly, her slender eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she said with a serious expression: "Actually, I have heard that you have returned ...... It's back. I wanted to come and see you the next day, but my mother ......."
"That's it!"
Xu Chen waved his hand, not caring at all, "What's this? Everyone has their own business, who said that you must come to see me." Besides, even if you come, I'm afraid I won't have time!"
Xu Chen wanted to comfort Tang Yan, but who would have thought that when Tang Yan heard this, he stretched out his white right hand and hit Xu Chen's body directly, and said angrily: "You don't have time yet......?"
Maybe it was because he was too excited, he said it louder, and more people looked at this side, Tang Yan glanced at it secretly and lowered his head shyly.
In front of others, she is always polite and generous, but in front of this cousin, she seems so relaxed.
After calming down for a moment, Tang Yan raised her head leisurely, bit her lip and said, "Brother Xu Chen, I'm sorry, my mother said that I couldn't come to you, she said...... She says it can be dangerous to be with you. ”
"Dangerous?"
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said helplessly: "I'm afraid it's not dangerous!
As he spoke, Xu Chen closed his eyes, and those disdainful faces kept flashing, this month has been the most disgraced period of his life. However, he secretly swore in his heart that this would be the last day, and now it was just the beginning, when he defeated Xu Yang, everything would change, and he would tell everyone that the previous Xu Chen was back.
"Brother Xu Chen, what do you want?"
Tang Yan stared at Xu Chen with innocent eyes and looked at Xu Chen carefully.
Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes and said playfully: "Oh! It's okay! By the way, didn't you say that your mother won't let you come to me? Then why are you still here today?"
"Hehe......"
Tang Yan smirked, her eyes narrowed into a slit, as if she was laughing at Xu Chen's stupidity, "Who said I came to see you! I came to see the excitement today, what does my mother disagree with?"
Xu Chen shook his head helplessly, this girl is not as docile and obedient as she seems, it seems that she still hasn't changed the eccentricity of her childhood, "Oh! Then since you didn't come to see me, then what are you still doing here, I have to watch the battle in the field." ”
As he spoke, Xu Chen turned to look at the center of the square and ignored Tang Yan.
"Hey, it's been ten years, why are you still so stingy! ”
Tang Yan muttered.
At this time, no one noticed that a swordsman walked through the crowd and slowly walked towards Xu Chen.
Just when Tang Yan wanted to pull Xu Chen back, the swordsman finally came to Xu Chen's side and said something in his ear.
Tang Yan's right hand that had just been stretched out was put back again.
After a while, the swordsman was about to leave with Xu Chen, Tang Yan could see that Xu Chen's face was extremely heavy, and she hurriedly shouted: "Brother Xu Chen, what are you going to do?"
Xu Chen turned his head at this time, reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and said, "Oh! My father has something to do with me, I want to leave for a while!"
"Oh!"
Tang Yan pouted and said loudly, "Then you want to find me when you come back!"
Xu Chen nodded hurriedly and left with the swordsman.
Tang Yan's originally excited expression became lost, and she silently took out a small star made of ground bones from her cuff, looked left and right, and then smirked inexplicably.
When she raised her head again, she saw that Xu Chen had already followed the swordsman to the entrance of the square and walked out. She smiled and said softly, "I won't let you go, you said it...... Huh"
Tang Yan blushed for a while.
......
As soon as he walked out of the square, Xu Chen walked quickly to the side of the sword master and asked in a low voice: "You just said that Uncle Wu had an accident, what happened, is he sick?"
The swordsman glanced sideways at Xu Chen, his eyes were extremely complicated, "No! he's dead!"
"Huh?"
Xu Chen couldn't believe his ears, "How could it be?" Uncle Wu, he was still ...... yesterday."
The swordsman waved his hand and said, "Young Master, you better go over first! The family master and the two elders are also there, I'm just a swordsman, it's inconvenient to talk to you too much!"
