Zhang Sui walked him to the door, watched Zhang Tian's figure disappear at the corner of the street, sighed slightly, shook his head, told him not to disturb him, and turned back to his room.
For the next three days, Zhang Sui did not step out of the room, and even food and drink were refused by him.
Three days later, when Zhang Sui stepped out of the room, he saw Fang Xin sitting in the corner of the courtyard and taking a nap.
The little girl was wearing a thick cotton coat, huddled in a corner to take shelter from the wind, her head was being pecking at rice.
Zhang Sui was very curious and walked over quietly. Looking at her appearance, he couldn't help but smile. He reached out and tapped her on the head.
The little girl jumped up in excitement and said: "I'm not lazy, I'm staring at the second master's door!"
When he saw Zhang Sui standing in front of him with a smile on his face, he immediately woke up. With a look of surprise on his face, he said: "Second Master, you have finally come out. You have worried us to death! By the way, I want to go out and tell Miss Third,
My family has been worried these days."
After saying this, without waiting for Zhang Sui's reaction, he jumped up and ran towards the outer courtyard.
Zhang Sui looked at her lively figure and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
The reason why he has been shutting up in the past few days is actually because there is a depression in his heart that he can't spit out and can't get rid of.
This depression comes from the inability to deal with Fu Yun's situation this time.
Although Zhang Sui often complained about his golden finger before and felt that it was not powerful, but since he gained sword skills and great strength, Zhang Sui was actually very satisfied deep down, especially when he found that he was actually better than most people in the spiritual world.
After becoming stronger, the salty fish mentality began to occupy his heart again.
But the situation that occurred this time gave him a blow and made him suddenly wake up. There are still too many times in this world that he can do nothing about. If he still treats it with this mentality and lets nature take its course when it comes to practicing and gathering strength, in the end
There may be more regrets.
In the past three days, Zhang Sui entered the void of consciousness in his room, summed up his past, and made an analysis and summary of all the methods of change currently activated.
I also have some different thoughts on the application of various transformation methods, and I have also made some plans for the way to go in the future, which can be regarded as rekindling my fighting spirit.
It wasn't until my body gave out a warning from hunger that I finally got out of it.
There was a group of footsteps outside. Zhang Sui came back to his senses, walked out of his courtyard with a smile on his face.
The leader was Zhang Xin, followed by the Lao Lu couple and the five Lu Bei brothers. Fang Xiong was actually dressed in Confucian attire and was pulled by Zhang Xin to follow her.
Zhang Xin watched Zhang Sui walk out of the inner courtyard, her face full of joy, and she shouted loudly: "Second brother, you are finally out!"
Zhang Sui smiled and nodded, then glanced at Fang Xiong, who was feeling uncomfortable next to Zhang Xin, and said, "Why are you here?"
Zhang Xin complained: "Yesterday Fang Xiong ran to the house and told us that you locked yourself in the room and didn't come out for several days, and you didn't eat or drink. My mother and I were so anxious that the whole family came over to ask for help.
If big brother hadn't stopped me, I would have smashed your door down!"
Zhang Sui said apologetically: "I have been practicing these days and have forgotten about the outside world, which makes you worry!"
Zhang Xin said: "Brother, it has been strange these past few days. He has not seen anyone every day. He only showed up when we came here yesterday. I don't know what he was busy with.
Mother has always been a little uneasy these days, worried about what happened, and you two are not here..."
Zhang Sui was a little silent when he heard this, but quickly adjusted his mood and said: "I will go back today to see my mother so that she will not worry. Is my brother here today?"
Zhang Xin shook his head and said: "I came here early in the morning, so I'm not very clear."
Zhang Sui nodded, looked at Lao Lu and the others and said with a smile: "I made you worry, I'm fine. I don't know the sun and the moon when I practice, and I'll get used to it in the future."
Lao Lu said: "No matter how much you practice, you still have to eat. I don't believe you can do without food and drink now!"
It's okay not to mention the old ways, but when it comes to eating and drinking, Zhang Sui's stomach starts to rebel again.
Zhang Sui touched his stomach and said with a smile: "If I hadn't woken up from hunger, I don't know how long I would have practiced. But I am indeed hungry now. Forget it, you don't have to work anymore. I will go back to Zhang's Mansion to have a look.
Mother, please help me solve the problem of food and drink."
After saying that, he looked at Fang Xiong who was looking uncomfortable and said with a smile: "Nobita, where did you get this outfit? Not to mention, I feel pretty good wearing it!"
Zhang Xin clapped her hands and said with a smile: "I just said this dress suits you, Daxiong. You still look like you don't want to. The second brother has agreed!"
Fang Xiong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm used to wearing short shirts, but these clothes are so restrictive that I feel really uncomfortable!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xin put her hands on her hips and said, "You will wear something like this from now on. I will go find you a sword in the next few days. That would be perfect!" After saying that, she stared at Fang Xiong's masculine face.
, eyes full of intoxication.
Zhang Sui smiled bitterly when he saw this, but didn't say anything.
Hearing this, Fang Xiong couldn't help scratching his head, but Zhang Xin grabbed the hand that was about to scratch his head and said: "Don't do this kind of action in the future. It will damage your appearance too much. At most, it will be the same as the second one."
Just like my brother, I touched my chin and pretended to be serious." He held Fang Xiong's hand and didn't let go.
When Fang Xiong heard this, he looked at Zhang Sui with a look of begging in his eyes.
Zhang Sui had black lines on his face. When he saw Fang Xiong's gaze, he coughed lightly and said, "Xin'er, please follow me back home to see your mother. Let's see how busy my elder brother is these days.
Already."
Seeing Zhang Sui mention the Liu family, Zhang Xin quickly nodded in agreement, but still didn't let go of Fang Xiong's hand.
The sword light appeared under Zhang Sui's feet, he looked at Zhang Xin and said: "Why are you still holding him? Come here quickly!"
Zhang Xin reluctantly let go of her hand and walked to Zhang Sui's side. She turned around and said to Fang Xiong, "I'll go back with my second brother first. You'll be coming over later."
Fang Xiong, who was originally relieved, felt his body became a little nervous again when he heard this, and nodded helplessly.
If Zhang Xin had treated him like this in the past, it would have been too late for him to be happy. But since he went to inform everyone in the Zhang family about Zhang Sui's situation yesterday, Zhang Xin's fiery eyes made him feel very uncomfortable.
Intensifying Liu's weird look in his eyes, his anticipation for every trip to Zhang's Mansion turned into the current feeling of apprehension, which only Fang Xiong himself probably knows.
Zhang Sui nodded to the others in the courtyard and reminded Zhang Xin, who was still looking at Fang Xiong blankly, to stand still. The sword light under his feet rose into the sky and headed towards the Zhang Mansion.
Zhang Sui deliberately did not use his body-protecting sword energy, but the cold wind in the sky immediately brought Zhang Xin back to his senses.
Zhang Xin was shivering a little from the cold, and said shakily: "Second brother, please slow down, this sword flying is not as good as what is written in the book, it's so cold!"
After hearing this, Zhang Sui used his body-protecting sword energy to cover the two of them, and then slightly emitted some inflammatory sword energy, making Zhang Xin feel better.
Zhang Xin, who had regained his composure, looked at the Kunzhou City at his feet and cheered: "This is what the Sword Immortal should do! Brother, don't go back to the house yet, take me out for a walk!"
Zhang Sui did not refuse after hearing the words, and took Zhang Xin towards the Wei River. He stayed a hundred feet above the Wei River and flew eastward along the Wei River.
Along the way, Zhang Xin shouted excitedly, and even called out the branches in the brocade bag at her waist. The two of them were chattering without knowing what they were saying in the mirage language.
When they arrived at Junshan, Zhang Sui suddenly remembered the smiling face he had made with the boulders that night. So he turned around and flew there.
Arriving there soon, Zhang Xin, who was chatting animatedly with Zhizhi, accidentally glanced at the smiling face of the classy gentleman below, and quickly grabbed Zhang Sui to point it out to him.
He also said: "Second brother, look below, it's so strange, there is a smiling face!"
Zhang Sui chuckled, lingering on his smiling face.
Zhang Xin watched for a while, noticed Zhang Sui's expression, and said, "Isn't it you, second brother, who made that smiling face?"
Zhang Sui smiled and nodded. Seeing this, Zhang Xin pulled Zhang Sui's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Okay, second brother, take me down quickly and let's create other patterns."
In this way, the two brothers and sisters stayed on the top of the peak for about an hour. During this period, Zhang Sui, under Zhang Xin's command, kept moving and hitting stones, and made different postures according to Zhang Xin's wishes.
Less patterns.
If someone were to pass by from above, they would definitely be surprised by the pattern on this broad peak. Because Zhang Sui put a lot of effort and thought into putting up a cartoon pattern of Zhang Xin.
Flying in the air, Zhang Xin was also very satisfied with this charming pattern. Finally, he strongly asked Zhang Sui to name the peak Xin'er Peak, and carved the three words "Xin'er Peak" in large letters on a rock wall.
.
In the end, Zhang Sui was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore, so the two of them got up and returned.
Pressing the sword light in Zhang's Mansion, Zhang Xin's maid discovered her as soon as she revealed her figure. She quickly stepped forward to salute and said: "Second Master, Third Miss, you are finally back. I got the news at home at noon that you are coming back.
I've been waiting for a long time. I'm talking to Brother Fang Xiong in the dining room right now." When Fang Xiong was mentioned, his eyes lit up.
Zhang Xin stuck out her tongue and lost track of time as soon as she started playing. Fang Xiong must have arrived first.
Zhang Sui and Zhang Xin came to the dining room and saw Mr. Liu smiling and talking to Fang Xiong. Fang Xiong sat stiffly on his chair and listened respectfully.
When Mrs. Liu saw Zhang Sui and Zhang Sui, she smiled and complained: "Nobita came over and said that you were coming back for dinner. I had the kitchen ready. After waiting for a long time, there was no sign of you. I thought you ran out to play."
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "My mother was worried, so I took my third sister for a walk. No, I was really hungry and couldn't stand it anymore, so I dragged her back."
Zhang Xin hurriedly stepped forward, took Liu's arm, and told with excitement how she and Zhang Sui had just soared into the air with their swords and played on the mountain top.
Mrs. Liu also listened patiently. Fang Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and stood behind Zhang Sui.
Zhang Sui couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart when he saw his appearance.
He looked at the little maid next to him and said, "Let's go to the kitchen to serve the food. I'm really hungry after not eating for three days."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu also quickly ordered the dishes to be served.
He looked at Zhang Sui and said: "Brother Sui, you don't care about your body too much. I heard from Tian'er that even if you practice cultivation, you still need to eat. Yesterday I went to visit and was stopped by your elder brother. Are you okay?"
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "Mother is worried. I just encountered some cultivation problems, nothing serious. Where is my eldest brother?"
Mrs. Liu showed a worried expression on her face and said: "He has gone out. These days, I feel that something is wrong with your eldest brother. I asked him, but he didn't say anything. Yesterday, he even mentioned to me that he wanted to step down as the clan leader. I
I don’t know how to persuade him, do you know what the situation is?”
Zhang Sui hesitated for a moment and did not tell Mrs. Liu about Fu Yun. He consoled him: "The eldest brother should be fine. Maybe he feels that managing things in the family has delayed his spiritual practice, so he thought of relinquishing his position as the patriarch."
Mrs. Liu sighed: "Our branch has been in charge of the Zhang family since your grandfathers, and we have overcome all obstacles. It is a pity to give up the position of clan leader now."
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "Mother, the world has changed now. If you want to do business in the future, if you don't have some spiritual strength as a backing, it will be difficult to achieve great development.
I think the eldest brother's move is very wise. Although he has stepped down as the patriarch, his influence in the family has not weakened, but is much stronger than before."
Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, "Then you two brothers can make your own decisions. I'm a woman, so I can't say more."
Zhang Suidao: "Mom, please don't worry, my eldest brother and I are well aware of this."
In fact, Mrs. Liu turned out to be a very powerful person and had great influence on family affairs.
But since the relationship with Zhang Sui eased and the strength was revealed, the Liu family gradually stopped interfering too much in the family.
Especially after it was later discovered that the people who dealt with Zhang Sui were all figures like the Lord of Kunzhou, and were all very respectful to Zhang Sui, his attitude became even more different.
In addition, Zhang Sui had a very good relationship with her elder brother Zhang Tian and younger sister Zhang Xin, and Mrs. Liu was also very happy.
The food arrived quickly, and Ms. Liu thoughtfully prepared a lot of light dishes. She was worried that Zhang Sui had not eaten for several days and the taste would be too strong and hurt his stomach.
Seeing Zhang Sui devouring the food without any pretense, Mrs. Liu kept saying: "Eat slowly, be careful not to hurt yourself."
Zhang Sui nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Xin, who was not hungry at first, couldn't help but swallow when she saw Zhang Sui eating.
Not long after Zhang Sui finished eating, a maid came over to report that Zhang Tian was back.
Liu, who was about to talk to Zhang Sui about Fang Xiong's situation, heard this and said quickly: "Go and call the eldest son over. Tell him that the second son is here."
The maid nodded in agreement, turned around and went out to inform Zhang Tian.
Mrs. Liu glanced at Fang Xiong and then ran to Fang Xiong's side. Zhang Xin was pulling him to talk about all kinds of things. Ms. Liu couldn't help but have a headache.
Zhang Tian came over quickly, looked at Zhang Sui and said with a smile: "I was telling you that if you don't come out today, I will knock on the door."
Zhang Suidao: "I'm fine, I just practiced for a few days. How are things going on here, brother?"
Zhang Tian said: "This afternoon I made an appointment with some clan elders to come to my house to discuss things together. Second brother, you came just in time to save me from asking someone to come over again."
Zhang Sui nodded and said, "You are responsible for making the decision, and I will be responsible for nodding. I don't care about the rest."
Zhang Tie smiled and nodded, then turned around and talked to Mr. Liu for a while.
Zhang Sui felt a little uncomfortable looking at his obviously old face.
Mrs. Liu must have been aware of it, but she didn't ask too much. After talking for a while, she and her maid returned to the inner courtyard, not forgetting to call Zhang Xin before leaving.
Zhang Xin pouted and followed Mrs. Liu into the backyard.
Fang Xiong breathed a sigh of relief. Sometimes the third lady was too enthusiastic, which made him uncomfortable!
