The next day, there was pouring rain, lightning and thunder.
The trees outside the window were shaking cautiously in the wind and rain, and the people inside the house were silent. Several elders sat at the top next to the old family head with serious faces.
Lie Xinhan and Lie Xinyue, together with a group of elite disciples from Liehuoshan Manor, stood in the hall and waited silently for several minutes.
It wasn't until there was a call outside the door that Lie Yan and Mutian Kuang had arrived, that the disciples raised their eyes and looked outside.
The fairy-like couple came holding hands as if taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard. When they saw the head of the family and the elders, they bowed politely.
"Yan'er, Tian Kuang, you are all here." The old master stroked his beard cheerfully, "Since everyone is here, let's talk to everyone about this promotion competition."
One of the elders stood up and said, "This promotion competition is related to the future of our family. Now many small families are eyeing the position of our third-level family. In the past, our Liehuoshan Village was even a super family.
I’ve done it all before, so naturally I won’t take the mere third-level family mark seriously. But..."
The elder sighed slightly and said, "Today is different from the past. If our Liehuoshan Villa fails this time and even the third-level family is squeezed out, the future of the Villa will be in doubt."
"As we all know, only when a family's reputation is resounding can all kinds of talents come from far and wide to join our Liehuoshan Villa. If the reputation of the Villa is not good, if things go on like this, it will lead to a withering of talents, a lack of talent, and no ability to do anything.
What a situation that continues!”
Lie Yan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at the elder with a look of disbelief, "The situation is so serious? Our Liehuo Manor can't even win the reputation of a third-level family, right?"
"Yan'er, don't believe it." The old family leader sighed softly, "Did you know that in the annual family promotion competition, young men and women under the age of twenty-five are selected to compete. There is no competition for those over the age of twenty-five.
Qualified."
That being said...
Lie Yan seemed to understand somewhat and raised his eyes to look at Lie Xinhan.
Lie Xinhan nodded and said, "Yes, I was not eligible to participate a long time ago."
"This rule must be made to contain us." Lie Yan said angrily. There are really villains like this everywhere who wield power arbitrarily.
"That's right." The old master frowned and said, "It's strange that in the past five years, the younger generation of our Liehuoshan Village has been inferior to the previous generation. The disciples who were originally talented and capable in the past few years have become more and more outstanding.
After two or three years of training, my cultivation level has not only not improved, but has even regressed a bit."
"Is there such a strange thing happening?" Lie Yan was stunned and quickly asked, "Have you checked your body?"
"Everything has been checked. Since this situation occurred, we have paid special attention to food issues to prevent anyone from poisoning the food." The old owner said with a cautious look, "But we did not find any problems with the food.
Everyone is eating, but only some people have this phenomenon. So..."
Everyone sighed, "Everyone once thought that there was something wrong with the feng shui of the ancestors in the family."
Lie Yan frowned and said, "So, our Lie Huan Villa's strength is steadily retreating in the annual promotion competition?"
"That's right, the younger generation is in decline, and they really don't have any capable talents." The elder sighed, "I don't know which mountain god Liehuoshan Villa has offended. I really don't understand why the younger generation,
You obviously have good talent, but why do you become worse the more you practice?"
"I don't believe in the theory of gods and ghosts." Lie Yan sneered, "When something goes wrong, there must be a demon! There must be a reason."
"What does Yan'er mean?" The old family leader was startled, "Does it mean that someone has really tampered with our younger generation?"
Lie Yan smiled and said nothing, "This matter still needs to be verified, but don't worry, I will give you an explanation within three days."
The elders and family heads couldn't help but feel relieved when they saw what she said so decisively.
For some reason, they felt that the little woman in front of them had an extremely peaceful and peaceful aura, which was very rare.
"Okay, then leave this matter to Yan'er to investigate." The old master nodded and said, "Be careful and tell us if you find anything. Don't act alone."
"I know." Lieyan nodded.
"As for the candidates for the promotion competition, apart from being disappointed, you all have to participate."
"Yes, Master!"
The old head of the family looked at Lie Yan with a smile, "With Yan'er here this time, my confidence will definitely increase a lot."
Lieyan smiled and said nothing, just nodded slightly, and left with Mu Tiankuang.
After leaving the door, Lie Yan lowered his head and thought deeply.
Mu Tiankuang followed her and asked softly, "What? Is there a problem?"
"Do you believe that the strength of the younger generation of a family will decline every year?"
Mu Tiankuang shook his head, "It's impossible for everyone to regress."
"That's right." Lie Yan nodded, "This person has sinister intentions and is extremely vicious. He just wants us, Lie Huan, to be the last in line."
"Squeak." When Mu Tiankuang pushed the door open, he saw Lieyan sitting by the window with his chin propped up, frowning and thinking deeply about something.
"Still thinking?" Mu Tiankuang walked over, hugged her, touched her cold arms, frowned in disapproval and said, "Stop thinking about it, go to sleep! Look at you, your arms are cold
It has turned into ice bars, is it cold?"
"It's not cold." Lieyan couldn't help but laugh, "No monk in the fairyland would be afraid of the cold."
Mu Tiankuang stretched out his finger and pointed at her little nose, "No matter how powerful you are, in my eyes, Yan just needs me to protect you."
"Okay." Lieyan smiled and shook his head, "Go to bed early. I'll get up again tomorrow and continue to check. You accompany me to walk around the Liehuo Manor, and I'll see if there are any clues." Go up and take it in your mouth.
Her little mouth said vaguely, "Concentrate on Yan'er..."
Lieyan burst out laughing.
I don't know how long it took before the two of them fell asleep.
When Lieyan was half asleep and half awake, he heard a faint, familiar sound of a piano coming from his ears. His head stood up.
This movement immediately woke up Mu Tiankuang. He straightened up, put his arm around her waist, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Well." Lie Yan pricked up his ears and paused for a while, "Did you hear the music just now?"
"What music?"
Lie Yan glanced at him, smiled, shook his head and said, "Maybe I was confused by my sleep, and the footman failed."
She turned over and sat down on the bed, waved to him and said, "You go to bed first. I'll go take a moment!"
Mu Tiankuang:......
After a while, she went out wearing good clothes, and Mu Tiankuan couldn't help but asked, "Where can you go?"
"Outside!"
"With you!"
This time it was Lieyan's turn to be embarrassed, "What are you doing with me? It's not like I can't find my way to the latrine!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you."
"Okay." When he saw this little thought, Lieyan couldn't help but feel a little depressed, "How do you know that I want to find the sound of music?"
"Can I still see you?" Mu Tiankuang snorted, "Maybe someone is pretending to be there!"
Lieyan:……
"Okay, okay, then I won't go."
"Don't you want convenience?"
"It's convenient in the house!!" Lieyan rolled his eyes at him.
After a while, Lie Yan took off his coat and climbed onto the couch, "Do you suspect who is luring me there with the music?"
"It's probably that shameless guy!"
"who?"
Mu Tiankuang glanced at her and pushed her down, "You know what you're asking! It seems like it's my fault. I want you to stop being tired!"
Lieyan twitched his lips slightly, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore! Go to sleep! You have to come out early tomorrow and walk around with me."
Mu Tiankuang glanced at her aggrievedly, "For the sake of family matters, you just threw me aside."
"There it is." Lie Yan breathed in his ear, "I'll finish my work early tomorrow and I'll go out with you to play!"
"I'm not a fiery child, so you can coax me with some fun." Mutian Kuang muttered, humming unhappily.
"Haha!" Lie Yan chuckled, hugged him, and kissed him hard, "God crazy, I like you so much."
"I like Yan too." Mu Tiankang smiled and kissed her back.
"It's just that sometimes it's not good to be too smart." When a man is smart, he sees everything clearly, which makes it impossible for her to sneak out to do some private things. Keep an eye on her!
"My lord, who are you waiting for?" A woman covered by black silk gauze looked at the man's back with faint eyes, and her voice contained infinite melancholy.
"This matter has nothing to do with you." The man came out from behind the guqin, his handsome face full of anger.
If he guessed correctly, Yan'er must have heard the sound of her piano and would definitely come over curiously, but she hasn't appeared yet, which means that this time, his goal has not been achieved again!
I want to find an opportunity to talk to her and explain something to her. Is this so difficult?
I wonder who is blocking his good deeds behind the scenes!
Mu Tian Kuang!
Damn Mu Tian Kuang!
It's all the fault of that idiot Mu Tianyao! He failed more than he succeeded. He was given such a good medicine, but he didn't succeed. Instead, it fell on him and dragged Fengling into the water!
Damn thing!
He will never give up! Mu Tiankuang! One day, he will personally explain to his Yan'er that they are the most suitable couple in the world!
