The night was silent, the lights in Qingyan City were brightly lit, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of raindrops made the city very noisy.
Qianyu stood at the gate of the city, his clothes and pants were soaked by the rain. Looking at the familiar streets and houses in the city, he felt filled with emotion.
Two years have passed, time flies, Qingyan City has not changed much, but he is no longer the same person he was back then. At that moment, he had a lot of thoughts and just wanted to have a drink to drown his sorrows, but he found out embarrassingly
, I had already drank all the "Happy" wine, so I could only find a store in the city where I could drink.
Due to the heavy rain, there were very few pedestrians passing by on the street, and most of the vendors had closed their stalls. However, there was still a restaurant open at the corner of the street.
"Boss, do you have any good wine?"
Qianyu, who was all wet, entered the restaurant, shook the rain off his hair and clothes, and found a seat in the corner to sit down. The owner of the restaurant was an old man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face. The old man leaned in with a smile.
Come over: "Yes, sir, do you want anything else?"
"No, just two big bowls of wine." Qianyu deliberately lowered his voice and said.
His identity is special and naturally cannot be revealed. At this time, he has long fluffy hair, a beard, and some wrinkles on his face. He does not look like a sixteen-year-old boy at all. Even without disguise, it is probably difficult for anyone to recognize him.
He. However, caution makes a thousand-year ship, and there is always nothing wrong with being careful.
"Boss, two jars of wine, one plate of roasted animal meat, and two bowls of silver snake soup." Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded behind Qianyu. Qianyu turned his head slightly, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and was immediately stunned.
This man was about fifty years old, wearing a gray python robe, with a fierce appearance, and a pair of eagle eyes so sharp that no one dared to look at him.
"Qian Yin?!" She subconsciously said this person's name in her heart. Qian Yu could not keep calm. Two years ago, it was Qian Yin who united with the Qian family members to force Qian Ye out of the Qian family and sent him to the abyss of death to survive.
Destroy yourself!
Qianyu returned to Qingyan City this time not only to return to Qianjia to visit Qianye, but also for an important reason - to seek revenge from Qianyin!
As if sensing Qianyu's hostility, Qianyin's eyes swept towards Qianyu who was drinking in the corner like a knife. Qianyu did not shy away and looked at Qianyin.
"Is something wrong?" Qianyu said coldly.
Qian Yinpi replied with a smile: "Haha, it's nothing. I just think that the little brother is somewhat similar to a person I knew before."
"There are all kinds of wonders in the world, and there are so many similar people. Seniors are old, so they must be dazzled." Qianyu's attitude was cold.
Qian Yin's expression changed slightly, and when he was about to respond to Qian Yu, suddenly, a man in black robe appeared.
The man in black robe is completely covered in black robe, only a pair of eyes are exposed, and he looks quite mysterious.
"How do you choose to meet here?" The voice of the man in black robe was very rich and sonorous.
Qian Yin smiled and said, "It's okay, come on, let's sit down and have a couple of drinks first."
After the man in black robe sat down, Qian Yin took the initiative to pour him wine and said casually: "Hey, that old guy is dying, it's time for you to start preparing."
"This matter is of great importance. We must make sure that nothing goes wrong. Don't be impatient." The man in black robe said seriously. He picked up the wine glass and glanced at Qianyu who was drinking in the corner, with a strange look in his eyes.
"I have never met this boy, so why do I feel so familiar?" The man in black robe was suspicious, but did not say it clearly.
Noticing the expression of the man in black robe, Qian Yin leaned close to the man in black robe and whispered: "Do you feel that there is a familiar aura about that man?"
"Hmm." The man in black robe nodded and said in a deep voice: "It seems to be somewhat similar to that kid... However, if that kid is still alive, he is at most sixteen years old and will not be as old as him."
"Hmph, that kid entered the Dead Soul Abyss, and with the "Death Aperture" in his body, it is nonsense to survive." Speaking of this person, Qian Yin's tone immediately turned cold.
The "kid" they spoke of was naturally Qianyu. Although they spoke very quietly, they could not escape Qianyu's ears. He knew they were discussing him, but he did not make any move and remained calm.
Slowly tasting wine in the corner.
"It's a pity to say that. That kid is very talented. If given enough time and resources, he will definitely achieve something in the future." The man in black robe said with some regret.
Qian Yin sneered and said nothing. Seeing Qian Yin's ugly face, the man in black robe stopped mentioning the matter and started chatting. Qian Yu was bored. After drinking two large bowls of wine, he left the wine money and left alone.
go.
In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of Qian Yin and the man in black robe, he did not go straight to Qianjia, but deliberately went in the opposite direction. After entering an uninhabited alley, he immediately changed into clean clothes and held an oil-paper umbrella.
, slowly approaching Qianjia’s location.
The heavy rain gradually stopped, and Qianyu appeared in front of Qianjia's gate. The two stone lions at the door were full of arrogance and domineering. On both sides of the vermilion gate, the two guards guarding the gate were dozing, which surprised him. Qianjia's guards
How could you be so lax?
Qianyu was confused and did not go in through the gate. Instead, he chose a remote location and climbed over the wall.
Qianjia occupies a vast area, with many internal houses scattered in an orderly manner, covered with corridors, surrounded by rockeries, exquisite decoration, and beautiful scenery. However, there are not many maids and slaves in such a large family, and the atmosphere is very deserted. Qianyu is filled with doubts and curiosity.
My heart is heavier.
Following the route in his memory, Qian Yu calmly arrived at Qian Yuying's boudoir. Qian Yuying was not sleeping, and the oil lamp in the room was still on.
"Ahem..."
An old and low cough came from the room, and Qianyu's face darkened. This was Qianye's voice. Just from the sound, it could be heard that Qianye was suffering from illness.
"Dong dong dong..." After looking around to make sure no one was around, Qianyu came to the door and knocked gently.
"Who?" Qian Yuying's alert voice came from inside the room.
Qian Yu did not answer. Qian Yuying slowly walked to the door and opened it cautiously. Her expression changed from solemn to joyful: "Qian..."
"Shh!" Qianyu made a shushing gesture, looked around again, and after confirming that no one was around, he quickly entered the room and closed the door.
Lying on the gorgeous bed was a middle-aged man with a handsome face and a strong body, but his expression was very haggard, and his eyes were dim and dull, like a withering towering tree.
Seeing Qianye like this, Qianyu felt sad in his heart. Is this still the head of the Qianjia family who traveled thousands of miles and fought in all directions? What kind of illness can torture a strong-willed man to such an extent?
"Yu'er!" Qianye's eyes shone with light. He wanted to stand up excitedly, but he still didn't have enough strength. Qianyu walked to the bed and supported him. He leaned against the bedside tremblingly, feeling relieved.
Qianyu looked at Qianyu. Qianyu had disheveled hair and was old. He didn't look like a teenager at all. He couldn't control his emotions for a while and burst into tears: "Yu'er, it's all my foster father's fault. He didn't protect you well. Let you
Suffer!"
"Father!" Qianyu's nose felt sore, his eyes were a little moist, and he clenched his hands into fists. He must find out why Qianye became like this!
"Yu'er, in the past two years, I have been listening to Yuying talk about you, but I have never met in person. My adoptive father misses you very much. You must have suffered a lot in the past two years, right? Also, you
How is the "death orifice" in the body?" Qianye asked earnestly.
"Father, you can rest assured. I am living a good life in the Dead Soul Abyss, thanks to the care and support of my adoptive father and Yuying." Qianyu replied with a smile. The books and daily necessities inside the cave are all from Qian Yuying.
He was brought secretly from Qianjia. Every five or six months, she would meet with him privately. Although Qianye never showed up, everything Qian Yuying did was because of his support. Otherwise, these
How could things be hidden from Qian Yin?
"Regarding the "death aperture" thing, I have found a way. It is only a matter of time before I can break the "death aperture"."
"Really?" Qianye smiled in surprise, "Haha, that's great!"
Qian Yuying also showed a look of joy. She had been worried that Qianyu would die because of the "death acupoint". Now that Qianyu has found a way, he can regain his life, and Qianjia has new hope!
"Father, has something happened to the Qian family recently? Where are the servants and guards in the family?"
"Since I fell ill, the Qian family has been suppressed by the original family in the trading area. It has been losing money almost every month. Now, the family doesn't even have the money to hire servants."
"That shouldn't be the case. Qianjia Shao said he has a century-old family business. How could he lose so much in just a few months?"
"Alas, I spent a lot of money on medical treatment, and my family failed to make a profit. Such a vicious cycle led to the current situation."
"I see." After figuring out the reason, Qianyu comforted him: "Father, now that I'm back, I will never let the Qian family continue to be defeated."
"Okay!" Qianye looked at Qianyu happily and said, "Yu'er, I believe you."
"Father, has anything unusual happened to Qian Yin recently? On the way back, I saw him and a man in black robes seeming to be planning some conspiracy. I suspect they are here for my foster father."
"Have you already met Qianyin? Did he recognize you?" Qianye asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, foster father, he didn't recognize it, but he became suspicious."
"Oh." Qian Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "Yu'er, Qian Yin is now in charge of the Qian family. Although I have the position of the head of the family, I am just a puppet. You must be careful about him."
"Qian Yin is so blatant, why don't other elders in the family stop him?" Qian Yu asked doubtfully. Logically speaking, except for Qian Yin, the other two elders support Qian Ye. If Qian Yin wants to seize power, he must get other people.
The support of two elders.
"My strength has declined very quickly. Now, Qianyin's strength is the highest. What's the use even if they object?" Qianye sighed, looking melancholy.
"If I didn't have what he wanted, he would have attacked me and Yuying long ago."
"what?"
"The treasure of thousands of families, Po Yuan Dan!"
"Father, what is the Po Yuan Dan... used for?"
"The Yuan-Breaking Pill allows cultivators to break through a realm in a short period of time. However, this elixir is only useful for Gu Yuan-level cultivators."
"So powerful?" Qianyu expressed surprise. Along the way of cultivation, there are differences between clouds and mud at each level. There are insurmountable gaps among them. It is extremely difficult to break through. But this Po Yuan Dan can directly
Ignoring the differences, for practitioners, its value is self-evident.
"Since Po Yuan Dan has such benefits, why doesn't my adoptive father take it?"
"It is an inheritance left by the ancestors of the Qian family. It can only be passed on to the next head of the family and cannot be used privately. This is the family rule of the Qian family, and no one has ever defied it in the past hundred years."
"Father, what will happen if you disobey?" Qianyu asked.
"...This...I don't know either." Qianye was stunned for a moment, he had never considered this issue.
"Father, the rules are set by people, and they are not unchangeable. Besides, those ancestors were people from decades ago, and the rules they made have long been outdated. You are the head of the family, and you have the final say in the Qian family now.
Why should you care about these rules?"
Qianye remained silent. Although Qianyu's words were a bit deviant, they were reasonable and made him shake the belief he had insisted on for many years.
"Father, where did you put the Po Yuan Dan?" Qian Yu continued to ask.
"In order to prevent the Po Yuan Dan from falling into Qian Yin's hands, I hid it in a very safe location." Qian Ye said pretending to be mysterious.
"What position?"
"Under Qianjia's toilet." Qianye smiled proudly, "How about it? Are you impressed by your foster father's wisdom?"
"Uh..." Qianyu and Qian Yuying both laughed dryly and remained speechless. (To be continued)
