"Are you friends of Master Yu?" the old man asked in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Xu Ziyan said.

The old man's eyes lingered on Lu Guangtian for a moment, and he nodded gently and said

"In that case, then come with me!"

Xu Ziyan looked stunned and thought to himself, Ximen Yu, this brat, was so touching when he confessed his determination in front of me! Now when he arrived at his door, he didn't even come out to greet him, so he sent an old man

Come out to greet him. Well, although this old man’s cultivation level is good and he is in the late Nascent Soul stage, that doesn’t represent him!

Silently, he followed the old man into the door. Under the sun, tall ancient trees with Western characteristics were towering and lush. There was a kind of tranquility in the whole mansion. In front of it was a stone arch, covered with long green vines. Entering the arch,

What comes into view is a small lake with a winding nine-curved long bridge on it. Walking along the nine-curved long bridge, the fish in the lake are swimming leisurely.

After walking through the Jiuqu Long Bridge, there was a dense forest in front of him. Xu Ziyan couldn't help but be surprised by the vastness of the mansion. Walking along the forest path, the towering trees blocked the sun, but countless variegated light and shadows fell between the branches and leaves.

.

Everything in front of him was quiet and beautiful, and the old man with the freckled temples suddenly said calmly, "My little friends, you must have a good relationship with Master Yu. And you seem to be kind to him."

Xu Ziyan's look was stunned again, and he thought to himself, "Is it possible that Ximen Yu didn't know that he and others were coming? The guard outside the door just reported the news that he and others were coming to the old man? But' the old man again

How do you know that we are kind to Ximen Yu?"

Although the old man had his back to Xu Ziyan, he seemed to see the look on Xu Ziyan's face, and said with a chuckle

"I went out to welcome you just now. You didn't see Master Yu coming out to greet you in person. There was a trace of dissatisfaction on your face, haha..."

"Is this... a career?" Xu Ziyan was secretly shocked and couldn't help but admire the old man's experience and wisdom.

"Well, the old man suddenly sighed softly and said, "Young Master Yu didn't know you were coming. He hasn't seen anyone at all these days. It's up to me to take you there on my own initiative."

"Huh? Dad, why is this?" Xu Ziyan finally couldn't help but asked softly.

"You will see him when you leave this forest.

When the time comes, you can ask him yourselves!" The old man shook his head, with a sad look on his face.

After walking out of the forest, not far away was a pavilion located on a hill. In the pavilion stood a young man leaning on the railing, with his hands behind his back, looking far ahead, leaving Xu Ziyan and others with a back view.

The old man slowed down, and Xu Ziyan and others also slowed down. But the young man still heard everyone's footsteps. He sighed softly, and still turned his back to everyone and whispered.

"Uncle Shen, please leave me alone and let me be alone for a while."

The old man still walked gently towards the pavilion. Xu Ziyan and others followed closely behind him. They stayed until everyone walked into the pavilion and stood behind the young man. The young man turned around helplessly and faced the young man.

The old man who came in with Xu Ziyan and others said

"Uncle Shen, you..."

Ximen Yu's eyes suddenly straightened, and he looked at Xu Ziyan standing opposite him in disbelief. The old man saw the look in Ximen Yu's eyes, and although he had already determined that Xu Ziyan and others were Ximen Yu's friends, he still maintained his attitude.

alert.

"Plop!"

Ximenyu's movements shocked the old man. He knelt in front of Xu Ziyan and said excitedly

"Sister, why are you here? Why didn't the guard tell me so that I could go out to meet my sister?"

At this time, Xu Ziyan really believed that Ximen didn't know that he was waiting for someone to come. He just didn't know why he closed himself in the yard and refused to go out to see people. He stretched out his hand and helped Ximenyu up from the ground. Looking at him, Ximenyu now looks about seventeen or eighteen years old. He is a very handsome young man. But there is a sick look on his face, and there is deep sorrow between his eyebrows. Looking at the man in front of him whom he has not seen for several years, Ximen Yu, who has grown up, said softly

"Xiaoyu, what happened to make you so depressed?"

Xu Ziyan took a step forward as she spoke, leaving the old man surnamed Shen behind. Then her eyes flashed blue, and a look of shock appeared on her face. When she saw Ximen Yu, not only the meridians in her body were broken by five points One, and there are still two-fifths of it. It can be seen that it has been broken. It has not been long since it has just recovered, and the Dantian has also been damaged. The cultivation level that was originally at the core-building stage is now only at the level of the foundation-building stage.

Ximen Yu, who has grown up, has a handsome face with a bit of melancholy and elegance. His eyes are very pure, and he has a temperament without a trace of turbidity from the inside out. This makes Xu Ziyan very suspicious. What is the purpose of the palace? Is it really a place where killers gather? How could such a place allow Ximen Yu to develop such a temperament?

Ximen Yu stood up and first asked Xu Ziyan and others to sit down in the pavilion. The old man saw that Ximen Yu and Xu Ziyan and others were very familiar with each other, and when he saw Ximen Yu kneeling down towards Xu Ziyan, he had some understanding in his eyes. After saluting Ximen Yu, he retreated.

Looking at Ximen Yu standing opposite him, Xu Ziyan said softly, "Sit down and talk!"

Ximen Yu gently sat opposite Xu Ziyan and said in a low voice, "Sister, I am the child of the master of Tianyu Palace. My father had a total of twenty-three children, thirteen died, and now there are only ten left. , now I am ranked eighth among the remaining ten people."

Having said this, Ximen Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, you may think that my thirteen brothers or sisters died at the hands of other forces. However, as far as I know, most of them died at home. In the hands of brothers.

Xu Ziyan's expression was stagnant, but she reacted instantly. After all, she also came from the family. So she said softly

"Is it for the position of future palace master?"

Ximen Yu nodded sadly and said, "Not bad!"

"Your father doesn't care?"

"It's all very clean. It's just speculation, no evidence." Ximen Yu's face became even more gloomy.

"Then...are you injured?"

Ximen Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Since I was captured by the monk from the Central Plains Shenji Sect, I have no chance to practice. After my sister rescued me and sent an unknown senior to send me back, my cultivation Because I am already far behind my seven brothers and sisters, even my two younger brothers.

So, I worked hard to practice. My qualifications are still very good." At this point, Ximen Yu's face flashed with a hint of pride, but he quickly said sadly.

"My progress is very fast. Last year, I reached the fifth level of the alchemy stage. Although it is still far from the cultivation level of my brothers, the speed of my progress shocked them. Even my father admired it very much.

Me. But because of this, I became a thorn in the side of my brothers.

They don't want me to grow up to the point where I can threaten them, and I know their thoughts, so I have never dared to leave Tianyu City. As long as I don't leave Tianyu City, they won't dare to do anything to me. Because my father

An order has been issued that all monks who take action in Tianyu City, no matter who is right or wrong, will be killed by both parties.

But what I never expected was that I was attacked in Tianyu City. The monk who attacked me was just a monk in the Dan-formation stage. He suddenly hugged me on the street and then blew himself up.

When he blew himself up, I could clearly see the reluctance in his eyes. This must have been my good brothers who forced him to do this.

However, he just blew himself up and died without leaving any clues. Although I have a low-grade treasure that my father gave me to protect me, the other person is a high-level monk in the pill formation stage. What is his specific cultivation level? I

I don’t know, but the power of the self-destruction makes me believe that he is at least the tenth level of the elixir formation stage. Under his self-destruction, not only was my treasure clothes destroyed, but even though I did not die, I will never die in this life.

It’s useless!”

Having said this, Ximen Yu smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Actually, this is good. I have no threat to my brothers, and they will not target me again. As long as I huddle in the house, eat wet food, etc.

Death is quite leisurely."

Xu Ziyan looked at Ximen Yu opposite, recalling the immature boy in his mind. Although he has grown up now, he has become more melancholy. A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old is like a dying old man. He sighed deeply.

Taking a breath, Xu Ziyan didn't know whether he should save Ximen Yu again.

Although the opponent's injuries are very serious, and there is a crack in the golden elixir in the Dantian, it is not impossible to save him. However, is there any point in saving him by myself? Even if I save him this time, can I save him next time?

?If you don’t save him, maybe he can live his life peacefully. But if you save him, maybe he will be plotted again soon.

Besides, why should I save him? Yes, why?

Xu Ziyan was suddenly shocked. If this Ximen Yu can become the master of Tianyu Palace in the future, it will be worth the investment. Well, it is very worth the investment!

But, can he?

You must know that being a palace master is not just because you were the son of the previous palace master. It requires your cultivation to reach a certain height. Even if you have not reached the cultivation level of the palace master for the time being, you still have to show that you can

The potential to be that kind of being.

Xu Ziyan opened Kunpeng's eyes again and looked at Ximen Yu. This look didn't matter, but Xu Ziyan's expression was surprised...
