"Why are you standing here? Sit down!" Liu Xu smiled slightly and waved, motioning for them to sit down and said, "When you come here, you are back home, don't be so formal."
The two of them thought to themselves, "Look at Uncle Qin's sulky face. It's strange that he can be so informal. Otherwise, why would we have climbed over the wall without going through the door..."
"Come here, bring tea to the two gentlemen." Liuxu called to the maid outside the door.
The two sat down uncomfortably. They were still a little afraid of Qin Tai, a senior. There were three forces in Jianan City, one was the Zhan family, the other was the Lei family, and the other was naturally the Qin family. The three families almost controlled all the people in Jianan City.
The business has been divided. After all, on the same territory, overt and covert fights and intrigues are inevitable. Over time, some business conflicts are inevitable.
If we talk about business matters, we don't dislike the two juniors so much. If word spread, it would make Qin Tai too stingy. It's just that these two guys usually idle around, and they often lead Qin Tianjing to do some sneaky things.
For this reason, Qin Tian also received a lot of training.
In Qin Tai's eyes, these two guys were just good friends. However, Qin Tian had the same temperament with them. No matter how much his family members scolded and warned them, it was like passing wind.
Among the three, Qin Tian is the youngest and the third oldest, followed by Zhan Moyan, the second oldest. As the eldest, Lei Jinghong is only one year older than the two of them.
After a while, the maid brought the tea
Zhan Moyan couldn't wait to pick it up and took a sip. He praised with an intoxicated look on his face, "Well, the tea from Uncle Qin's house is still delicious. It's fragrant, soft and smooth, sweet and refreshing..."
Qin Tai took a sip, glanced at him, and said angrily, "Glib."
Qin Yu, Qin Tian and Lei Jinghong on the side couldn't help but burst into laughter. The flattery was obviously slapped on the iron plate.
Zhan Moyan quickly stopped talking and lowered his head to drink the tea in his hand.
Liu Xu smiled and said, "Young Master Zhan actually likes this tea so much. I will order someone to bring you back a few boxes to try it later..."
Zhan Moyan quickly waved his hands and said, "This is impossible. The main purpose of visiting this time is to invite Qin Tian to the martial arts competition, but who would have thought that something like this would happen..."
"Murong Ao is really bullying!" Lei Jinghong punched the desk, almost knocking over the tea cup.
A year ago, the three of them had agreed to participate in the martial arts competition together and enter the Xuantian Sect to practice together. However, when the conference was approaching, such an unfortunate thing happened. It can be said that Qin Tian's life was ruined.
"Alas." Qin Tai sighed softly, "God's will is such that nothing can be done against it. I know that the three of you have deep feelings. You feel sorry for Qin Tian now that he is like this, but Xuantian Sect is not as powerful as you can imagine.
"
Qin Tai stood up, put his hands on his back and continued, "Tomorrow is the martial arts competition held every five years by the Xuantian Sect. With the strength of the two of you, it is not difficult to win. You have a great future, but don't ruin it."
Once, otherwise we will live up to the high expectations of our two fathers."
Qin Tai's straightforward words both understood that young people are prone to act impulsively. After all, this is a family matter of the Qin family, and the other two families will not be involved in it anyway.
"My nephew also understands the serious relationship between it and how much he weighs. However, it is never too late for a gentleman to seek revenge. Anyone who hurts my brother must be avenged..."
Lei Jinghong has always been a straight-tempered person who speaks his words and never minces words, but he also knows that his abilities are limited, and he represents not only himself, but also an entire family behind him.
"Brother is right, in short, Qin Tian's matter is not over yet..." Zhan Moyan said firmly
"I would like to express my gratitude to Qin Tian for the friendship between the two nephews." Qin Tai showed a happy expression on his face. No matter whether the two boys had a quick talk or not, the friendship was quite good. In the end,
, Qin Tai said, "I wish the two nephews a successful start tomorrow."
"Thank you, Uncle Qin." The two of them hurriedly bowed their hands in return. They felt much more relaxed after receiving Qin Tai's rare recognition, at least they no longer had the same restrained expressions as before.
"It's getting late, so my nephew will leave first." Knowing that Qin Tai's family wanted to talk, Zhan Moyan winked at Lei Jinghong, and after understanding, the two of them left one after another.
Qin Tai nodded. After the family sent the two off, Qin Tai said to Qin Tian, "You have made two good brothers..."
Although Qin Tai had some opinions about the two of them in the past, he has to look at them differently today. Maybe they will never be able to fulfill their vows in this life, but sincerity is the most important thing in people's hearts.
"I wish you all the best!" Qin Tian wished in his heart as he looked at his walking figure.
The next day, outside Jianan City, dozens of arenas were set up two days ago. Participants came from various regions to participate in the competition. Xuantian Sect randomly selected five places within the Daning Dynasty as the venue for the competition.
, because there are so many people participating in the competition and visiting, in order not to cause unnecessary disturbances to the local area, each venue is held in the suburbs.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the stadium was already crowded with contestants for this competition. A rough calculation showed that there were at least more than 20,000 people. There were even more people watching outside the stadium. It was already dark and the noise was deafening.
"There are more people participating in the conference this year than ever before!" An old man stroked his beard and laughed heartily as he looked at the crowds of people under the ring. "This time, the descending sect master has told us that the top 100 people from each venue will be selected.
The winning player…”
"Elder, it's getting late, I think we'd better get started!"
The person who spoke was none other than Murong Ao, the closed disciple of Xuantian Sect. He was dressed in a pure white robe, with wavy black hair, and his hair fell on his shoulders. He looked particularly high-spirited, with white teeth and bright eyes, and a heroic look on his face. He held a hand in his hand.
The long sword inlaid with precious stones, the delicate look of the body exuded a heroic atmosphere, and it was this person who seriously injured Qin Tian.
"Wan'er, go and instruct the junior brothers to randomly assign the contestants to the ring and start the competition!" The old man nodded with a smile and continued to the girl beside him, "Still follow the old rules.
Those who fall off the ring will be eliminated, and those who lose their fighting ability or voluntarily admit defeat will also be eliminated. The winner will go to the backcourt to prepare for the second competition."
"Yes, elder." Situ Wan'er held her sword and saluted, about to walk down the stage.
"Elder, disciple, please accompany junior sister. After all, junior sister is going down the mountain for the first time, so there are some..."
"Okay, okay, you two go together." The old man didn't know Murong Ao's little thoughts, so he immediately waved his hand and let him go.
"Disciple thanks the elder!" Murong Ao said gratefully
The girl shyly glanced at Murong Ao. In the Xuantian Sect, these two were known as the golden boys and girls. They were both talented and beautiful, and many people could not envy them.
Situ Wan'er was originally the daughter of the current emperor. As a princess, she had never enjoyed the treatment of a princess. For some reason, she was taken into the sect of the Xuantian Sect since she was a child. This was also a good thing for the royal family.
pile.
The girl's eyes were like water, but with a touch of coldness. Her fingers were slender, her skin was like gelatin, and the snow-white was pink, as if she could squeeze out water. She had a pair of red lips, and she spoke and smiled sweetly. Every move she made seemed to be dancing, even that
The retreating back figure is also mesmerizing to watch. How can such a beauty soothe people's inner turmoil?
The two of them walked hand in hand, chatting and laughing as they walked down the stage, but what they received was a pair of jealous eyes.
"If this woman could marry me, it would be worth losing twenty years of her life..."
"Hey, a toad still wants to eat swan meat, so why don't you urinate and take a look at yourself? What the hell are you talking about!"
"Have you heard about that kid from the Qin family? Because of this little girl, that guy Murong Ao ended up being crippled."
"Yes, I heard a few days ago that the boy from the Qin family was a peak martial artist, but he was crippled after he failed to defeat Murong Ao in just three moves..."
Among the excited crowd, Zhan Moyan crossed his arms and said, "No wonder the third brother would fight Murong Ao because of her. With such a beautiful woman, I'm a little moved..."
Lei Jinghong beside him said angrily, "Humph, if you can become a being like the master of Xuantian Sect, you won't be able to choose from all the beauties in the world!"
"Hehe, that's right." Zhan Moyan stared at the distant figure and responded with a silly smile.
Lei Jinghong rolled his eyes at him and ignored him!
Another special day passed by in a hurry. Lei Jinghong and Zhan Moyan successfully entered the second day of the competition. Half of the contestants were eliminated on this day.
The reason why the speed is so fast is because many people here are not strong enough, and they all came to participate with the mentality of trying their luck, but in the end they still failed.
There are only a handful of people in this age group who can practice to the sixth level of the warrior. Of course, most practitioners can easily reach the level of the warrior, but each level is divided into six turns. From warrior one to warrior six,
, some people may never reach the sixth level of a warrior in their entire life.
Even three powerful rank 5 warriors cannot shake a strong rank 6 warrior. Although the difference is only one rank, you must understand that a difference of one mile makes a difference of a thousand miles. This gap is not easily overcome.
At night, there was a sharp contrast between the silent Qin Mansion and the noisy Jianan City. The contestants who successfully entered the second day of the competition and the defeated players crowded the restaurants in Jianan City. They were happy to drink two cups to celebrate, and the disappointed ones were also.
I want to drink to drown my sorrows.
In the Qin Mansion, the lights were brightly lit, and a thin figure was wandering leisurely in the backyard.
"You know, it's so lively outside Ganan City today. I've never seen so many people." A maid spoke cheerfully, unable to conceal her excitement in her tone.
Another maid angrily accused her, "Damn girl, what are you saying? Madam asked you to do something, but you secretly went to join in the fun and let Madam know that I had to skin you."
"This is only held once every five years. It's a rare event. It would be a pity not to take a look. Even if Madam knew about it, she would only say a few words. It's not as scary as you said."
"Young Master Qin has lost his cultivation because of the Xuantian Sect, and you still go join in the fun of the Xuantian Sect. Tell me, what will my wife think if she finds out?"
The maid was shocked when she heard this, "Yes, how could I have forgotten this?"
Another maid sighed and said, "The master only has such a son. From now on, the family business will be handed over to him. With his current situation, it will be a matter of time for the Qin family to decline in the future."
After hearing this, the maid next to her quickly made a silence gesture, "Shh, you are going to die. You dare to talk nonsense about anything. If it reaches the ears of the master, you and I will not be able to bear the consequences..."
"Damn girl, are you afraid?" Another maid chuckled, "Next time if you dare to join in the fun, see if I don't tell my wife to sue you..."
"you dare……"
The two maids in their bloom left laughing and quarreling. In that dark corner, Qin Tian absorbed the conversation between the two in his heart, and the young man also heard about the rules of this world.
For cultivators, ordinary people are like ants and can be manipulated or even killed at will, which is a trivial matter.
Furthermore, the Qin family still controls one-third of the business in Gannan City. When Qin Tai is gone in a hundred years, even if the Zhan family and the Lei family don't come to divide it up, there will be coveted people to take his place. By then, Qin Tian
How can an ordinary person cope with it?
In the beginning, Qin Tai relied on his own strength as a martial artist to gain a foothold in Ganan City. If one day Qin Tai is no longer around, then the Qin family will eventually go downhill. This is the law of nature, the jungle of the jungle eats the strong.
After shaking his aching head, Qin Tian returned to the room, lying on the bed and thinking wildly. After a while, his eyelids gradually became heavy, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into a deep sleep.
A quarter of an hour later, a black gas burst out of the young man's body, and then quickly enveloped him. This unknown gas seemed to be conscious and kept moving around the young man's body.
After a while, under the influence of the black gas, the boy slowly floated up from the bed.
In an instant, the candlelight in the room was extinguished without wind, and the black gas gradually formed a black halo. As if under orders, the gases rushed back into Qin Tian's body, and then, in the meridians and spiritual veins,
Wandering back and forth.
The sleeping boy didn't notice anything. Deep in his mind, he only felt numbness all over his body, itching unbearably for a while, and then as if he had been shocked by electricity. However, no matter what, it was like a fire was burning in his Dantian, and it felt warm.
It feels as comfortable as bathing in a hot spring, and then it feels like being burned by fire, which makes people miserable.
In the time of a stick of incense, the black light gradually became dim, and finally disappeared completely. Then, the suspended body slowly lowered, everything returned to normal, and even the extinguished candle was rekindled.
The flames ignited, as if everything just now had never happened.
The young man breathed out a sigh of relief and slowly opened his bright eyes. His muscles all over his body felt sore. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and wondered if he had just had a nightmare...
I shook my dizzy head and was about to lie down again and continue sleeping. At this time, a force from deep within my body quickly spread to my entire body. The pain I felt just now suddenly disappeared, and my whole person instantly became energetic.
