After some recuperation, by the morning of the third day, Kong Donglai's injury was already in good condition, and the progress of the Tianyan Dao Sutra had jumped to 700%.
After simmering a bowl of porridge with the last bit of rice in the rice vat, and drinking it in one gulp, Kong Donglai collected the only nine taels of silver he had, and walked out of the courtyard towards the main residence of Kong Mansion.
The Kong Mansion is one of the top three aristocratic families in Qingjiang City. The mansion is spacious, and it takes half an hour to walk from the remote courtyard in Kong Dong to the main house where the patriarch lives.
Kong Donglai was ready to resign and leave. After all, he only had the body of the young master of the Kong family, but his soul was an outsider after all. The Kong family had also cut off the supply of food and oil, so he might as well go outside and feel comfortable in the cabin assigned to him.
As he walked, Kong Donglai was counting his belongings, but not the ninety-seven cents of silver. After all, he was also a practitioner, and now he was practicing the ninth-level Taoism. Could he still worry about money and food?
Although it is only the first volume of the Ninth Level Taoist Book.
What Kong Donglai smacked was the seven silver and eight copper plates in his Immortal Ascension Stone. This was the currency of the Immortal Illusion Realm, and could be used to purchase the magic weapon Flying Sword at the exchange mall.
I don’t know how to earn exchange currency.
With his mind spinning over and over again, Kong Donglai didn't even notice that there was an additional figure in front of him, and he bumped into it. He felt a strong force coming from him, and the true energy in his body moved by itself. Most of it was released, but he was still knocked back and staggered back.
"Hey, I wonder who dares to run rampant in this compound. It turns out to be the young master from the third landlord."
After standing still, Kong Donglai looked up and saw a young man in a white shirt and tied hair taunting him. The young man was actually good-looking, with a face like a crown jewel and a tall and straight figure, but the sternness in his eyes made people feel disgusted.
. He was shaking a folding fan gently in his hand. Although the practitioner was physically strong and not afraid of the cold wind, in this late autumn season, it was the young master from a pretentious family who did this.
The young man was none other than Kong Donglai's clan brother Kong Rui, who was born in the eldest house of the Kong family. Next to him was a strong young man, Kong Donglai's clan brother Kong Sheng, but Kong Sheng was born in a side branch and was not as noble as Kong Rui.
, has always existed as Kong Rui's follower. Both of them are one year older than Kong Donglai, but their cultivation levels are much higher. Kong Sheng, who is more dull, has already practiced the ninth level of Qi training, and Kong Rui has already practiced Qi.
At the peak of the tenth level of qi, it is hoped that all the orifices will be opened within the year, the true qi will fill the meridians, and the meridians will enter the unblocking stage.
A bloody dandy. Kong Donglai narrowed his eyes and saw two people coming out from behind a rockery in the courtyard. They were both beautiful beauties. One was Kong Rui's biological sister Kong Xiangqin, and the other was beyond Kong Donglai's expectation.
That cool and pretty look was still fresh in Kong Donglai's memory.
Miss Yu from the Yu family, Yu Mingyue.
Kong Donglai turned sideways and wanted to go around, but Kong Rui stepped aside to block him: "Young Master Donglai, don't leave in a hurry. Brother, I heard that you were ill a while ago, but I was worried about you. Now that I have met,
You should pay more attention." After saying that, Kong Rui laughed loudly. Kong Sheng beside him also grinned widely.
Kong Donglai didn't find it funny and wanted to go around to the left again.
Kong Rui was secretly looking at Yu Mingyue beside the rockery. Yu Mingyue was invited as a guest by Kong Xiangqin. He was Kong Xiangqin's brother. He was cheekily accompanying him, thinking of showing off well in front of the beauty. Just then he saw Kong Donglai,
Naturally, I wanted to put Kong Donglai down in order to elevate myself.
Kong Donglai wanted to leave, but he didn't allow it, and moved sideways to block him. This was what Kong Donglai had expected. The move to the left was just a fake move, and he turned around and bypassed Kong Rui from the right.
Kong Rui didn't expect this, thinking that he would be embarrassed, and suddenly became angry.
"Stop! Kong Donglai, didn't you see me talking?" He asked without being polite. He closed the folding fan in his hand, and a stream of true energy rushed out, hitting the crook of Kong Donglai's leg.
If this was true, Kong Donglai would have to weaken his legs and kneel to the ground...
Kong Donglai was angry and unceremoniously stretched out his arms, whipping up a strong wind. While breaking the force, it also picked up the fallen leaves and gravel on the ground and hit Kong Rui head-over-heels.
Kong Rui didn't expect that Kong Donglai would dare to fight back. In a moment, the fallen leaves and sand were already in front of him. He didn't have time to show off with the folding fan, so he quickly let out his true energy through his body, forming a protective shield. The falling leaves and sand hit the shield.
There was a popping sound on the fan, and Kong Rui had time to turn over the folding fan. He exploded with energy and pushed back the sand and stones that had not fallen in the air. But at this time, there was no figure of Kong Donglai on the ground. The sand and stones only hit
The nearby brick wall shuddered, and the plaster exploded, exposing the masonry inside.
"This bastard! Where did he go?" Kong Rui was furious, and just as he was about to catch up, he saw that Yu Mingyue had also moved elsewhere. After thinking that no one was more important after all, he hurriedly caught up with his sister, waving his folding fan lightly, thinking that
He was elegant and unrestrained. But he didn't know that the vulgar words just now fell on Yu Mingyue's ears, and she despised him even more.
Although Yu Mingyue did not like Kong Donglai, but Kong Rui called his third uncle's son a bastard, how could he himself be better?
Kong Sheng in the back touched the back of his head with a silly smile on his face.
Kong Donglai walked around and walked to the main house based on his memory. He didn't want to get involved with people like Kong Rui. Anyway, he had been expelled from the family by the Kong family and would make a living on his own in the future. He was far away and didn't bother to follow these people.
Dandy entanglement.
Kong Donglai had also been a power leveler for a period of time before, and the performance of some soft girl players was similar to that of Kong Rui. For these people, the more you pay attention to them, the more enthusiastic they will be.
Let the servant guarding the gate go in and report. After Kong Donglai waited for a while, a servant came and led him into the main courtyard gate. Instead of going to the hall, he entered a campus through a side door. The head of the family, Kong Xiong, was drinking tea in the garden at the moment.
.
After another round of twists and turns, after crossing the winding covered bridge, the servant stopped and asked Kong Donglai to walk in. Only then did Kong Donglai see the owner of the family, Kong Xuan, in a small pavilion in the center of the lotus lake in the garden.
Moving with the wind, the faint fragrance of lotus flowers floats in the lake, and there is a music of piano music. The head of the Kong family really enjoys it.
Kong Donglai listened quietly for a moment, realizing that a fool like himself couldn't understand these elegant and sexual things. He twitched the corner of his mouth and was about to board the boat to the small pavilion in the middle of the lake. Unexpectedly, he heard the sound of thunder next to his ears.
He hummed softly, directly disrupting his breath, and his movements froze in mid-air.
The servant in charge of steering the boat stood aside with his head lowered, without even raising his eyelids. "The master of the house said that if you have any business, I will pass it on to you. In a few days, when the injury is better, I will ask you to prepare to go out and stand on your own. If anything happens,
You can ask for something appropriate, and the head of the family will take pity on your difficult life."
Kong Donglai frowned when he heard this, and then he saw clearly that the person in charge of steering the boat was not an ordinary servant, but the housekeeper of the house owner. This housekeeper was different from the internal and external housekeepers in the Kong family mansion. He only served the house owner and did not show his authority, but
No one dared to offend him. Only today did Kong Donglai know that Butler Tang was still a master.
Feeling in his heart whether Butler Tang was a high-level monk of Tongmai or a more powerful monk with no leakage period, Kong Donglai put down his raised steps and said calmly: "Please report back to the head of the family and say that Kong Donglai's injury has recovered and he will be discharged today."
Prepare to leave the mansion and make a living on your own."
Butler Tang then raised his eyes and glanced, as if he was surprised that Kong Donglai's injury healed so quickly, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He just asked again: "Do you have any requests?"
Kong Donglai remembered that the family should have arranged a small house, but he had other plans, and immediately said: "I heard that the family has arranged a house, I wonder if I can give up the house and exchange for some money?"
"Exchange some money?" Butler Tang was surprised. You must know that after all, it is the young master of the Confucius family who has gone out to support himself, and the servants below do not dare to be too harsh. Although the allocated house is dilapidated and remote, it is a real home, and this house
The Kong family can move out to live independently, but the land and house deeds are still in the hands of the Kong family. If they exchange money for it, they may not even get a quarter...
Butler Tang didn't think too much, nodded and said: "I'll wait until the master of the house agrees with you on this matter. You can go to the warehouse, and I will allow you to take thirty taels and go out."
Kong Donglai knew that thirty taels was too much. If Butler Tang hadn't agreed to the thirty taels, some snobbish slave master would have calculated that he would have paid thirty-five taels to the master even if he got twenty taels. He immediately handed it over and thanked him.
After passing Butler Tang, he was about to turn around and leave. But he heard Butler Tang say: "Slow down."
Butler Tang pondered and said: "The head of the family has said that when the Kong family reaches the age of sixteen, from now on Donglai will be your name. You need to choose another name for it. The head of the family has not chosen it personally, so you have to pick it up yourself and report it to Butler Xu.
From now on, it will be used as a side branch."
Butler Xu is the external steward of the mansion, managing all side affairs, including the side branch's genealogy of the surname Kong.
The Kong family, who went out to stand on their own feet, would no longer be a clan, but become a branch.
Seeing Kong Donglai, he didn't say much, just nodded, and then turned around and left. Butler Tang laughed to himself, and for some reason, he felt that the third house, which he ignored in the past, was a little strange today. He shook his head and ignored it.
, Butler Tang gently tapped his foot, and his true energy came out. The boat broke through the lake water without using the oars, and sailed towards the pavilion. The lake lotus in front of it was gently pushed away by a soft force, and it was not damaged at all.
"How, what did you name that boy?"
When Butler Tang went to the small pavilion, he heard Kong Xiong, who was lying on the couch with his eyes closed and listening to the piano, ask. But it turned out that the head of the Kong family did not tell Kong Dong to choose a name for himself, but asked Butler Tang to choose a name casually.
What a fun watch.
"The name of the master's young master is taboo, and the servants don't dare to specialize in it, so they ask him to name themselves." The first part of the name is the master's young master, but the second part refers to "him" without any respect. It's just a run-down young man with three bedrooms. It's true.
Not in the eyes of Butler Tang.
The head of the Kong family didn't care, he just let out a soft ooh and then chanted softly in response to the sound of the piano.
Even the girl playing the piano in the pavilion didn't seem to care at all. The tinkling sound of the piano could be heard far away...
