Xie Dun felt his whole body stiffen.
The voice coming from behind was completely unexpected, and it reminded him of long-standing memories.
When I was five years old, I was greedy and stole candy and my mother caught me in the kitchen...
When I was seven years old, I was lazy in practicing and my father yelled at me from the study...
Ten-year-old school The only time I skipped class and caught the koi of Mr. Jiu next door with my companions, I was arrested by Mr. Xi and Mr. Jiu at the same time by the pond...
Xie Dun was so excited that he felt that the shadows of his childhood were frightened out by Xie Yuan's voice. Even though he had just used his special move and felt empty in his body, he forcefully slashed back with his sword!
He turned around and slashed to bring out a line of horses. The sword light that was like the giant sword of the gods still had tail flames, and now it crossed half of the field behind him.
The audience was already a little confused by the twists and turns of the situation, but seeing that Xie Dun still had the energy to send out such a sword, there was another uproar!
He is indeed a well-known genius in the clan. Although he failed in the previous selection at Wanyao Mountain, his current progress is obviously no worse than others!
I don’t know how Xie Yuan hid, but under this sword, under this sword...
The audience gradually became quiet, and when Xie Dun turned around, his sword was shining brightly, illuminating the field behind him, but it failed again.
This was completely unexpected for him. He felt like Xie Yuan was like a non-existent shadow on the battlefield. He could only hear his voice but not see his person.
Where have you been?
Xie Dun's eyes narrowed, and he immediately reacted to something, and then felt his shoulders sink.
A long sword was gently placed on his shoulder, and the coldness of the blade caused goosebumps to instantly appear on his neck.
"You lost."
Xie Yuan stood behind him and said calmly.
He gave the two brothers the same exit method, so the family should be in order.
Xie Dun was shocked, his face flashed with disbelief, panic, unwillingness, and loss, and finally turned into silence.
He turned around slowly with a sullen face, looked at Xie Yuan who was calm and calm, and asked quietly:
"What kind of trick is this?"
"A small trick is not enough for outsiders."
Xie Yuan said with a smile.
The Heavenly Hidden Technique is also his core secret skill, so naturally it is impossible to talk about it casually.
Xie Dun closed his mouth tightly, and after a long while he raised his hands with difficulty, and said in a solemn voice:
"I'm not as skilled as others, so I'm willing to be inferior."
"I accept the concession."
Xie Yuan politely cupped his hand and nodded in response.
Beside the quiet Xie Family Competition Arena, everyone heard the conversation between the two, even the Grandmaster Su Lao was a little unresponsive at this time.
It was not until Xie Dun admitted his failure that they gradually came back to their senses, showing some disbelief.
Why did Xie Dun suddenly lose?
It is obvious that he has the advantage, even the victory, and it is obvious that his invincible huge sword has attracted the attention of even the masters.
The result was like falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley. Everyone thought he had a sure victory, but the next moment he had a sword on his neck.
Many people still remember that his younger brother Xie Chun also failed like this... Genius brothers are not members of the same family.
The discussion gradually started to fill the entire competition ground. The excited Xie family members could not care less about their demeanor, and they were just like people watching the excitement in the market.
"Was that Xie Yuan's illusion just now? But wasn't all his illusions directly destroyed by Xie Dun's Jingtian sword? Why did another one appear at the end?"
"I don't know, Xie Chun was with Xie Yuan before. He was defeated by this move, but Xie Dun was clearly prepared Why are you still being tricked? I really don’t understand.”
Most people are puzzled. They understand that the scattered figures are Xie Yuan’s illusory secret method. What they don’t understand is Mingming. After being cracked, why didn't he fall in the dazzling sword light?
How did he avoid it?
Not only the ordinary tribesmen, but also the white-haired or astonishing grandmasters and elders on the high platform, most of them were also a little confused.
"Fourth cousin, just now...how did Xie Yuan escape?"
"Seventh cousin, I didn't understand either..."
The two old brothers looked at each other, a little confused. Ashamed.
Don’t they understand the moves of young people nowadays?
As a master, I can only vaguely feel that Xie Yuan's true body seems to be hidden behind those illusions. However, with this illusion secret technique, I can only say that I have a passable attainment, and I cannot confuse the fake with the real one. It's even more useless in front of the sword light that treats everyone equally.
There were only two or three grandmasters with the most powerful auras on the high platform, and the one sitting in the center frowned slightly. He vaguely felt that Xie Yuan just left several illusions, and his real body had actually run to hide behind Xie Dun, like a possessed spirit. Even they couldn't see the ghostly shadow.
However, even though these elders roughly understood it, their expressions were even more surprised than the others.
They are sitting here, paying attention to the battle situation. It is so difficult to capture Xie Yuan's movements;
If they don't pay attention, wouldn't they be slipped away by this little guy? Can't see it?
Even these elders cannot recognize this magical secret method, let alone imagine how a young man in the Third Transformation Realm can hide it from the perception of a senior master like himself!
"It's incredible."
The old man sitting in the middle, even Xie Yi, was very respectful, sighed.
The person next to him agreed very much:
"A Xuan's child will not bear his father's name."
The masters around him were silent, and then nodded with emotion. .
On the other side, Cui Pingjun looked at Xie Yuan, who was enjoying the cheers and praises of the crowd, and felt a little dazed for a moment.
She looked at Xie Yuan and unknowingly replaced his face with that of the younger Xie Yi, and felt that there should be some differences, maybe the features and eyes should be more like her own...
"I can't imagine it."
Cui Pingjun's eyes were dim, with a glimmer of water.
“But even Lun’er should be just as good as this, right?”
She looked at the young people in the field, felt very emotional, and clapped gently.
Beside her, Xie Lingyun had long lost the restraint of a young lady. She was jumping up and down, shouting, her twin ponytails bouncing around behind her, and her little face was red with excitement.
As expected of him! Sure enough, there is always a way!
No firebender can match him, not even Xie Dun!
Xie Lingyun thought excitedly, but did not say it out loud, as if Xie Dun was not her brother.
As the legitimate daughter of the head of the family, she shouldn't have been so biased, as it would have had a bad impact, but in the warm atmosphere around her, no one noticed this at all, not even Cui Pingjun and the elders next to her.
Not far away, among the young people with bright faces, who were either shocked, admired or downcast, Xie Wei also had surprise in his eyes and looked at Xie Yuan up and down with a cautious expression.
He even felt that Xie Yuan had not yet fully demonstrated his strength.
Although the top of the Ancient Immortal Sect's scripture-depositing tower was dark, none of them could see Xie Yuan's movements during the melee.
But he was able to tangle with the Fire User at that time, and finally even made the final decision, which shows his strength.
Today, Xie Wei did not see the blow that was enough to kill the Grandmaster... A hand.
And now Xie Yuan's strength is obviously more advanced than before.
If he really explodes with all his strength now, will he be no match for him at all?
Xie Wei fell into deep thought, a little solemn.
Although he has always attached great importance to Xie Yuan's strength, after all, he is the real number one of the younger generation of the Xie family who surpasses Xie Dun.
Normally, even if Xie Yuan is better than Xie Dun, he may not be better than himself. Although his secret technique is powerful, his cultivation level is always limited. If there is no one to control and cooperate with him, he may not be able to use his killing move.
But now it seems that Xie Wei is a little unsure.
Soon, Xie Wei sighed.
Even if I can win now, what will happen after a while? What if his cultivation goes a step further and is even the same as mine?
The results speak for themselves.
If you rely on your realm to overwhelm others, even if you win, it won’t be very glorious.
It’s better to break through to the Grand Master as soon as possible, otherwise his popularity may not be guaranteed... Xie Wei was a little stimulated, and secretly decided to practice harder.
In mid-air, Xie Yi, who was standing tall in a wide robe and long sleeves, had a flash of light in his eyes.
Among everyone present, he was the only one who noticed Xie Yuan's movements. He knew that under the exquisite illusion, there was also an even more extraordinary art of stealth, but it was covered up and almost no one was there. aware.
This magical method should be placed at the top even in the Xie family's arsenal, and it may not even be comparable.
After all, this stealth method requires a little effort even for him to break. Considering the difference in cultivation between the two, it is really shocking.
The illusion seems to be less mysterious than the concealment method, but Xie Yi's eyesight can be seen to be extremely extraordinary. However, Xie Yuan's practice seems to be a little more focused, and there is a gap in his realm.
Why does he have so many extraordinary secrets?
A trace of doubt arose in Xie Yi's heart, and he immediately pressed the button quietly and announced loudly in the sky:
"Xie Yuansheng!
"Xie Yuan, Xie Dun, you both performed very well. For outstanding young people, the family will support and train them, and I hope you will continue to work hard.
“In the next quarter, the family’s harvest in the ruins and external arrangements will be able to keep up. As long as you practice hard and study hard, the family will not ignore your efforts. The family’s various resource allocations will I won’t treat anyone badly.”
As soon as these words came out, many young people immediately had no time to mourn Xie Dun’s defeat, and immediately showed expressions of surprise and became excited.
Even Xie Dun himself did not look as defeated as before, but looked a little more comforted.
As for his younger brother Xie Chun, he breathed a huge sigh of relief on the sidelines and loosened his clenched fists.
I thought that everyone would have a hard time now, but I didn’t expect that the family would still remember losers like myself...
“Brother Chun, have you figured out Xie Yuan’s secret method? I still don’t understand. If you have figured it out, can you explain it to me?”
A brother Wu Chi asked next to him.
Xie Chun was silent for a moment and said deeply:
"I have seen his secret technique twice, and naturally I have some insights. This should be a profound illusion. It can create many clones to interfere with the line of sight. In a hurry, the fake can be confused with the real one, but as long as you distinguish carefully, you should still be able to see some differences. "
He said a lot of nonsense that even those who have not practiced much can see, and barely managed to scare him away.
The person next to him nodded, pressed down his doubts that he had not noticed the difference just now, and continued:
“But what should I do if I don’t have time to distinguish carefully during the fierce battle?”
Xie Chun secretly wondered why this person had so many problems. He pondered for a moment and learned what he was learning now:
"Of course, like my elder brother, I wiped them all out with one sword!"
"But you still lose like this?"
The man said a little dissatisfied.
"Then two swords! One sword in front and one sword in back to make a circle. Don't ask! This will happen when you are strong enough."
Xie Chun gritted his teeth and said.
The man didn't notice Xie Chun's embarrassment at all. He nodded thoughtfully and began to think about how to solve it.
Seeing that he was finally quiet, Xie Chun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him ask again:
"By the way, Brother Chun, since you are defeated, didn't you say you would challenge him again?" , get your own resources back?”
Xie Chun’s expression froze:
“Did I say that?”
"I said it."
The man said firmly.
"Think about it carefully? Did you remember it wrong?"
"Brother Chun, I have a good memory."
Xie Chun silently pulled this person away in his heart Blacklisted, said:
"That's it... Oh, I think forget it. Since the head of the family has said that resources can be allocated, it doesn't matter if I let Xie Yuan go.
"We are all brothers! "
Except you.
Xie Chun added silently.
As the head of the family, Xie Yi naturally has to consider the overall situation.
After he said this in public, coupled with Xie Yuan's undisputed performance, everyone around him, old and young, even those grandmasters who secretly complained about their juniors, all dissatisfied and waited for the consequences.
In this way, everyone is happy. Xie Yuan has won the honorary status and resources. No one can question it. Xie Dun and other members of the same race who challenge can also look forward to the plum blossom to quench their thirst. Everyone has a bright future.
In the spotlight of being the Grand Master Su Lao and ordinary clan members, Xie Yuan bowed to those around him and left the venue to rest.
Everyone stared at his back, feeling like they were seeing the former or future great master.
"What...what...what?"
In a house not far from the competition ground, an old man with gray hair and dazed eyes, his lips trembled a little:
"Xie Dun, Xie Dun lost?"
中The young man said a little cautiously :
"Uncle Thirteen, the results have come out, and they are absolutely true."
He smiled bitterly. Originally, whenever there was an important event in the clan, this group of gamblers who played close to each other would do it themselves. Set up a stall to have fun and entertain yourself.
But it happened that Uncle Thirteen got jealous this time, and finally got a little serious and gave away all his belongings.
They are all direct descendants who can live in the land of the Xie family. Even if their status is average, there is no shortage of ordinary property. Few want to make money from this, and they are just having fun. Uncle Thirteen was so serious that he felt like a hot potato.
Old Thirteenth Uncle murmured to himself:
“How is it possible? Are you lying to me...”
“Hey, it’s absolutely true, everyone hasn’t left yet. , if you don’t believe me, go see it yourself”
The middle-aged man whispered.
Uncle Thirteen didn’t like to watch martial arts competitions because of his youthful experience, but he couldn’t help but come closer to know the results immediately.
However, this result does not seem to be satisfactory...
The middle-aged man was in a dilemma, so he simply said:
"Uncle Thirteen, otherwise I will return your gambling money to you. I haven't had time to help you place your bet before..."
Uncle Thirteen was shocked for a moment, then seemed to come to his senses, and angrily shouted with red eyes:
"I've been betting all my life and I've never cheated! If I lose, I lose!"
He waved his sleeves and gritted his teeth and said:
"I admit defeat! I have never lost such a big game in my life. From now on, from now on, hey..."
The middle-aged man sighed:
"You have been gambling all your life. Now it is time to stop playing with your grandson and share your family relationship with your aunt."
Unexpectedly, the thirteenth uncle's face turned red and white, and he suddenly waved his hand:
“I bet on the real dragon and it backfires. I blame my bad luck. There are not people like this every time!
“Learn a lesson this time! I'll be lucky next time, I can feel it, I'll definitely win it back next time! ”
He suddenly became high-spirited and strode out.
The middle-aged man was dumbfounded. Even though he was also a fellow, he didn't know how to comment:
"Uncle Thirteen, you..."
"Don't call me Uncle Thirteen! "
Old Thirteenth Uncle suddenly shook, interrupted him, and said dissatisfied:
"Unlucky"
"..."
The news of Xie Yuan's final victory quickly spread throughout the Xie family, and even became a noteworthy event within the family and slowly spread to other branches, industries and even the outside world. .
Nowadays, everyone knows that the long-lost legitimate son of the former head of the family and the potential heir to the Xie family of Chen County has a talent as good as his father's.
After these thirteen sparring matches, coupled with Xie Yi's methods, no matter which faction or branch in the family, no one has any objection to Xie Yuan's treatment and status.
Especially those who are well-informed and masters with outstanding vision know that his cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Three Transformations Realm, and they feel that his peerless talent deserves this position.
In the courtyard.
Xie Yuan was helped by Yunzhu, who was always considerate and sweet, and Shijian, who was particularly sweet today, to change his clothes, get hot water, and then drove them out again in their disappointed eyes. .
Why do I feel that the way they look at me recently is a bit scary...
Boys should still protect themselves at home.
Xie Yuan was soaking comfortably in the hot water pool made of glazed tiles, with a leisurely look on his face.
Although he is not a special moral defender, as a second-generation brother, he always feels that the first time should have a sense of ritual, and it should be with someone he truly likes.
This is what we virgins are like.
And the little girls are quite nice. Since you have promised to free them in the future, don’t do anything meaningless.
The specially prepared medicinal liquid eliminated Xie Yuan's fatigue, slowly repaired the minor injuries on his body, and allowed him to recover quickly.
In the comfortable hot water that makes you want to cry out, Xie Yuan recalled the sparring session not long ago and nodded silently.
He still used a special move. At the level of Xie Dun or Xie Chun before, Xie Yuan is really struggling to rely only on his cultivation and swordsmanship.
As far as swordsmanship is concerned, Xie Dun's level has reached a very high level. He is worthy of being one of the most famous geniuses of the younger generation of the Xie family, only slightly worse than Xie Yuan.
The big sword can be used at will, fast or slow. There are few swordsmen with such personality in Yunshan.
However, according to Xie Yuan's evaluation, if he concentrates on it and doesn't do these tricks, he may be able to make further progress. Using a big sword to make a fast sword seems to confuse the enemy and is ingenious, but in fact it violates the most basic sword principles. It may be very powerful, but it will not reach the top.
But Xie Yuan did not remind him. He believed that there must be an expert in the Xie family who could see this in him, and ignored him perhaps because this was just a stage of growth. This kind of swordsmanship may hone many abilities, and later on, when you reach the realm of "looking at the mountain, it's still a mountain", you can become a great master.
An interesting opponent.
Xie Yuan closed his eyes slightly, feeling that he had gained something. What I summarized some time ago has been put into practice today, and my combat skills have been greatly improved.
This is how competition should be.
Contrary to what many people speculated, this competition actually did not put much pressure on Xie Yuan.
Although he didn't dare to say that he would win before the battle. After all, he couldn't use moves like sweeping the army, but after fighting against top masters like the Fire Raider, fighting Xie Dun again was indeed some load-reducing training. meaning.
I don't have many shortcomings now, the biggest one is my state.
Actually, this cannot be regarded as a shortcoming. Considering my own age and my own practice time, few people can compare with me.
But since the sight is high, the standard cannot be low.
“Now, I have truly entered the Xie family, right?”
Xie Yuan muttered silently:
"I don't know if there is any external training method suitable for me in the clan. I'll ask my second uncle later."
Logically speaking, he should be able to learn the internal training method now. Xie Yi had never been with him before. He said that it was not easy for Xie Yuan to ask too many questions, but now that his realm was getting higher and higher, he could no longer delay.
The golden bell used to be Britney, but now it is indeed a bit of a hindrance to him.
"If there is still no one in the clan, or it is not possible..."
Xie Yuan thought silently, and then went to Prajna Temple to find Huijue.
Once you have established a firm foothold in the Xie family and the situation is stable, you can go out. Prajna Temple is not too far away. I went to Huijue and asked him directly where I could find Buddhist rhymes. I guess the mysterious little monk could give me some advice.
Thinking of this few friends, Xie Yuan smiled. I wonder what stage his cultivation has reached? Don't let yourself get ahead of you.
There is also Zhang Junyi. At the beginning, everyone said that they would come back to compete again later.
Xie Yuan exhaled, feeling that the road ahead was promising, and his heart felt relaxed. His body slowly sank into the glass pool, including his head, and only spit out a string of bubbles that floated up.
Comfortable.
Within a few days, the turmoil caused by this battle had not subsided, but Xie Yuan returned to his state of staying at home and practicing hard, as if it was none of his business. The good thing is that the people who came to disturb his practice are gone now, and he can concentrate on his regular homework again.
The cultivation level was steadily increasing. Xie Yuanzheng said that he would consult Xie Yi in the next two days, and Xie Lingyun brought a message:
"Hey, my mother called you Let’s go to dinner tonight.”
“First, if I don’t call you “Hey,” you should call me brother.”
Xie Yuan reached out and knocked Xie Lingyun on the head.
Xie Lingyun bared her teeth, swatted away Xie Yuan's big hand that wanted to mess up her hair, and said dissatisfied:
"Stop trying to bluff people with this! Humph, what about the second one?"< br>
Xie Yuan didn't take it seriously, he was just joking, but then he became slightly confused:
"Secondly...why did my aunt ask me to go to dinner? Is there something wrong?"
>
"This..."
Xie Lingyun is also a little embarrassed. She knows that her mother has always been neither salty nor indifferent to Xie Yuan. According to the Xie family's family tradition and the mainstream opinion of this world, she actually has not lived up to the true expectations of the Xie Yuan. It is the duty of a sister-in-law who has both died.
But Cui Pingjun suddenly asked her to call Xie Yuan for dinner. Although Xie Lingyun was a little happy, she couldn't figure out why.
"Nothing! What can happen if we just have a meal?"
Xie Lingyun said nonchalantly:
"Let's go together later."
Xie Yuan nodded silently, without thinking too much, he would know when the time comes.
He glanced at Xie Lingyun:
"It's just afternoon, there are still two hours, what are you doing here?"
Xie Lingyun said:
"What do you mean by Lai? Aren't you my brother? Isn't your family also my family?"
"That's right now. Then if I get married, you will get married too, and we will have our own families." Room, can it still be like this?"
Xie Yuanruo said intentionally or unintentionally.
Xie Lingyun suddenly turned pale, gritted his teeth and said:
"I said, I will not get married!"
"I still want to get married. I have old ideas."
Xie Yuandao.
Xie Lingyun's face turned paler, and she frowned and said:
"I can follow you even if you get married! If your unmarried sister-in-law follows her brother, your wife can't say anything!"
Xie Yuan couldn’t laugh or cry:
"Your statement... makes sense. But then your sister-in-law will ask, why don't you go back to your own home? Don't your second uncle and aunt care about you?"
"There are always parents. I have to leave in one day, and I will be alone and have no choice but to follow you. At worst, I will be a nanny for your child."
Xie Lingyun gritted her teeth.
Xie Yuan was speechless and coughed:
"With your father's cultivation, it's hard to say who will send away who... Well, although your mother is not that powerful, she is also a master. .”
Xie Lingyun's eyebrows stood up after hearing this:
"What are you talking about? No matter what, I am still better than my mother! As for dad..."
She sighed:
< br>"Besides you, how many people in the Xie family can compare to him?"
Xie Yuan smiled slightly:
"I heard from my second uncle that your talent is no worse than his. He didn't necessarily have your level of cultivation at your age." Him. I grew up under the control of him and my mother..."
Xie Ling Yun curled her lips and said:
“I didn’t practice martial arts well at that time, but now I’m teaching you.”
“Look what you said, my second uncle and aunt dote on you enough. It’s basically doting. Don’t be dissatisfied. Others don’t have what you need.”
Xie Yuan said earnestly.
Some things are despised when you have them, but you only know how to cherish them when you lose them.
"I know it in my heart. Why are you acting like an old man..."
Xie Lingyun complained, but then she understood why he said that, rolled her eyes, and changed the topic :
"Well, there's still a while for dinner, what should we do? Why don't we go out for a walk? Let the horses go and hunt."
Xie Yuan refused mercilessly:
“I want to practice martial arts.”
Xie Lingyun said dissatisfied:
“Why are you acting like a martial arts idiot? This is something that the children of aristocratic families know. You don't know how to do it either. When another family comes and someone wants to marry you, I feel like you are a fool!"
"As for anyone who has something to say, just ask him if he knows my fist."< br>
Xie Yuan sneered, and then said cautiously:
"Wait a minute, isn't it because my aunt called me over today to give me a blind date?"
"A blind date? A marriage?"
Xie Lingyun also suddenly became vigilant. She just said it casually, but now she thinks about it... Hiss!
Mom, do you want to poach yourself?
She suddenly shook her head like a rattle:
"Impossible! I will never allow it!"
Xie Yuan looked at Xie Lingyun speechlessly as her twin ponytails swung into a literal rattle:< br>
“What’s the use of disagreeing? Do you mean what you say?”
“Why doesn’t it count!”
Xie Lingyun said angrily:
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you will definitely not be able to get married!"
"...Then I'd like to thank you very much."
Xie Yuan felt that he was almost rested, so he went to practice boxing to warm up first.
Xie Lingyun opened her mouth and muttered:
"A tough guy in a mountain village, a wooden bump, he knows how to practice!"
"I am, my favorite before is a wooden bump."
"!"
Xie Lingyun Unexpectedly, he listened, so he awkwardly clasped his toes on the ground, and then watched Xie Yuan take a posture in the field, sighing silently.
Forget it, just practice with him for a while.
Xie Lingyun thought quietly.
In fact, she also agrees that playing in the family is far less important than practicing. She is not a person who does not distinguish between priorities, otherwise she would not be strong at such a young age.
The reason why she suggested that was just because of Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan saw Xie Lingyun standing on the other side, in a posture, with a flexible figure and a slim waist, exuding the youthful atmosphere of a girl between movement and stillness. It was such a sight, and he couldn't help but feel that this was not bad.
When it was dinner time, the two of them went back to wash up and tidy up, and then went to the owner's house one after another.
"You practiced kung fu again in the afternoon."
Xie Yi looked at Xie Yuan, nodded, then looked at Xie Lingyun, surprised:
"You actually practiced kung fu in the afternoon?"
Xie Lingyun said dissatisfied:
"Dad, is it weird for me to practice kung fu?"
"Haha, it's rare for you to be so diligent. It seems that brother Xie Yuan has set a good example."
Xie Yi smiled.
“Humph.”
Xie Lingyun snorted lightly and turned her head away.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Cui Pingjun appeared, personally bringing the dishes out from the kitchen and placing them on the table.
Xie Yuancheng stood up in fear, but Cui Pingjun smiled and pressed her hand, asking him to sit down:
"I haven't cooked for a long time. I don't know if you are used to the cooking."
"My aunt's cooking skills, just by looking at the color and aroma, you can tell that the taste is indistinguishable."
Xie Yuan replied.
Cui Pingjun pursed her lips and smiled lightly:
"You're really good at talking."
Immediately she asked a few people to sit down and went to the back kitchen to serve food.
Xie Yuan saw that today not only Cui Pingjun was cooking in person, but there were not even any servants to serve them. It was just the four of them, just like an ordinary family.
Xie Lingyun is young and ignorant, but Xie Yi, who has been married to Cui Pingjun for twenty years, can guess her thoughts, even if his wife does not say it clearly.
He sighed slightly in his heart, then smiled at Xie Yuan:
"Don't worry, your aunt has a light temper, but her heart is good. Some awkwardness is in the past, don't worry about it."
Xie Lingyun said strangely:
"Dad, what are you talking about, mother? He is a good person to begin with.”
Xie Yuan knew what Xie Yi meant and said sincerely:
“As a junior, you will naturally not have any resentment towards your elders.”
"That's very good."
Xie Yi said very relieved.
Cui Pingjun served two more dishes, including braised pig's trotters. Xie Yuan had never imagined that the family head's mother would cook home-cooked dishes before, but it seemed that she still had some skills.
“Eat.”
Cui Pingjun greeted.
Xie Yi poured the wine:
"Xie Yuan, drink two cups with me."
"Eat more."
Cui Pingjun kept picking dishes for Xie Yuan.
While Xie Yuan was drinking with Xie Yi, he was destroying the food that Cui Pingjun kept bringing him. The master of the three realms of transformation was still a little busy.
He had a vague feeling in his heart and was a little touched. He only felt that he had had many family dinners with different identities, but this time it felt most like home.
After a home-cooked meal, Cui Pingjun personally greeted Xie Lingyun to clear the table. What made Xie Lingyun breath a sigh of relief was that she didn't mention anything about marriage.
Xie Yi smiled and explained to Xie Yuan:
"Back then, your aunt and I knew each other, and on a whim, we lived outside as ordinary people for a period of time, until... "Hmm."
Xie Yuan nodded silently. That's it. No wonder her aunt seems to be so good at doing these things, which is really incompatible with her status.
"Back then we discussed what to name our son, how to teach him in the future, and what kind of person he would be... A mother loves her son more than anything else. Sometimes you can't think about it, and you understand."
Xie Yi explained again.
Xie Yuan nodded seriously:
"Second uncle, don't worry, I completely understand, there is absolutely no grievance."
"You are a sensible child."
Xie Yi nodded happily. In his eyes, at Xie Yuan's age, he had gone through many twists and turns to become so early-witted and calm. Even though he had gone through a lot, he still had good conduct, which was commendable.
But even so, many things have to be done with caution...
Xie Yuan felt that Cui Pingjun's attitude towards him today was very different, and he even tried to treat him like a son... He went back and forth In contrast, Xie Yi explained, and I understood a lot.
On Cui Pingjun's side, she looked at Xie Lingyun who was inexplicably relaxed, humming a ditty and washing dishes clumsily, then looked back at Xie Yuan in the hall, thinking silently:
"Lun'er If he grows up, he should probably marry and have children by now. Xie Yuan is a little younger, but he can still consider it.”
She glanced at Xie Lingyun and said to herself:
"It's better to think about it earlier.
" Just before, someone from my parents' family came to ask how many nieces were of the right age and whose family background and talents were different from Xie Yuan's. It seems that we can let them meet and make a decision early if it suits them. "
Outside, Xie Yuan and Xie Yi were chatting, and suddenly they heard Xie Yi say:
"Come out for a walk with me. ”
When the two of them arrived in the courtyard, a full moon was hanging on the black curtain, casting a bright and bright light. It turned out that today was the fifteenth again.
Xie Yi looked at the moon and didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Xie Yuan waited quietly beside him.
I always felt that Xie Yi had something to say to him today.
After a while, Xie Yi seemed to come back to his senses and said:
"Xie Yuan, you've been home for so long, are you still used to living there?"
Xie Yuan nodded and said:
"Thanks to the arrangements made by my second uncle and aunt, I have no worries. I’m very used to living there.”
Xie Yi nodded slowly and suddenly said:
“What do you think of this ancestral land?”
"Reflections?"
Xie Yuan thought for a while and said slowly:
"Thousand-year weather, bells ringing and cauldrons eating; laws are strict and have a long history."
Xie Yi listened. He said, thought for a while, and said:
“That’s very appropriate.
"But what I want to ask more is, how do you feel about the Xie family?"
"Me?"
Xie Yuan fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Xie Yi said directly:
"For you, do you have a sense of belonging to this surname and to the Xie family of Chen County? After recognizing your ancestors and returning to the clan, , do you consider this your home?”
His tone was not questioning or dissatisfied, but a serious inquiry.
After hearing this, Xie Yuan asked himself a little, and then replied:
"I really feel like home today."
Xie Yi understood as soon as he heard it, Wei Wei He smiled and said:
“There was no such thing before.”
"I am like a poor boy who was struck by gold. I only have a sense of unreality and it is difficult to identify with it."
Xie Yuan said frankly.
Xie Yi nodded:
"It's human nature. I just like your sincerity and you don't tell lies."
"There's nothing to lie about."
Xie Yuan shook his head.
Xie Yi stared at him and smiled:
"Indeed, with your own cultivation to this point, with or without the Xie family, you will be like a silver moon and a scorching sun, standing in the sky and shining brightly. Dadi.”
“Second uncle is too complimentary.”
Xie Yuan said politely.
"I just said I won't lie, and I'm being hypocritical again."
Xie Yi joked:
"But Xie Yuan, the ceremony of recognizing your ancestors and returning to the clan has passed, but you haven't felt it in your heart yet. admit it, let me It’s also very difficult. What is the Xie family to you? A place for practicing martial arts?” Very spicy.
He organized his language and said slowly:
"I am also trying to integrate into the family, and it is gradually effective. For me, I keep the family's help in my heart. As long as I am a member of the family, I accept it calmly. But if I still leave one day, That drop of kindness will be repaid by a spring of water."
Xie Yi was both satisfied and dissatisfied with this answer. He stared at Xie Yuan and said:
"I am very strange. To others, you are there. With this kind of experience, even if you have to force yourself to persuade you, you will have to do it yourself. What is the biggest obstacle for you in accepting this identity? Is it your prejudice against the aristocratic family when you were young? As I said before, the aristocratic family has similarities and differences. As you can see, we are different from Jinling. What about money from Yao and Yongyang? Is it the same?"
Xie Yuan has already thought about this problem:
"The Xie family values rules, has a noble character, and has an elegant family atmosphere, which is different from the Qian family and the Yao family. >
"But when the Yao family was at its peak a thousand years ago, I wouldn't have imagined that they would open an assassin tower and plunder people everywhere, just like a low-ranking person.
"Now the Xie family sits on half of Chen County, in fact, the entire Chen County is surrounded He could hold hundreds of miles in his hand, not to mention the properties and families all over the world, the clansmen and in-laws in the court, the children and friends inside and outside the sect.
"For such a powerful force that affects the world, it is okay for the family head and elders to be as good as the second uncle. But it can be passed down from generation to generation. How can we guarantee that there will be no Yao Yuzhi and Qian Wubing? In the past few hundred years, there have been several family heads. , everyone in the clan kept it secret? At that time, the Xie family was probably more terrifying than the Yao family now. There were people in Chen County nearby. It covers the Central Plains, how can they live?"
Xie Yi listened to him quietly, then nodded:
"You are right, the aristocratic family, the sect, the dynasty are too powerful. They all have this disadvantage. But because of this resistance, you are somewhat evasive.
"Since you are worried about the people and the world, you should integrate into the family. Use your ability to influence the family, instead of covering your own eyes and just want to fly away. Isn't it deception? You have the ability and the character, and you are a master. Don't say Shouldn’t it be beneficial to the world and the people under the influence of Chen County and the Xie family?”
“This…”
Xie Yuan felt that what he said was reasonable, so he He scratched his head and didn't dare to respond.
Looking at what he means, is it possible that he is talking about making himself the heir again?
And he was slow to integrate, not intentionally resisting.
On the one hand, there are indeed many views on the aristocratic family, and on the other hand, it is actually mainly dominated by memories of previous lives. It is difficult to confuse that Xie Yuan's house with this Xie Yuan's house.
Xie Yi said leisurely:
“Think carefully about what I said. But these days, I have been thinking about you.”
“ Hmm..."
Does Xie Yuan understand half of it? Is he talking about inheriting the Xie family?
"But I've been looking at you for a long time, and I can't find anything wrong with your character, your talent, or your character. Such a son should be considered a good son of my Xie family."
Xie Yi laughed. Said:
“It’s the only It's a pity that he is too tough and noble to be like our family."
"No..."
Xie Yuan was a little embarrassed by what he said. Continued:
"Xie Yuan, have you ever wondered why I haven't taught you the skills for so long?
"With your intelligence, you must have thought about it. Hey, I was a little confused before, but I understand it now. One day, you will understand too. "
He said with profound meaning, then breathed out:
"Let me tell you about our Xie family's arsenal. "(End of this chapter)
