Bai Gunan arranged a sumptuous banquet to welcome Chen Xi and others.
After the banquet dispersed, Chen Xi stopped Bai Gunan and asked, "Is the recognition over?"
"Of course it's over."
The one who answered was not Bai Gunan, but Bai Jingchen who suddenly arrived in the welcoming hall.
As the head of the Zijin Bai family, Bai Jingchen said this, which showed the attitude of the entire Zijin Bai family.
Hearing this, Chen Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was not worried about anyone coming to fight again, the endless levels of fighting were still too troublesome.
Next, Bai Jingchen kicked Bai Gunan away without ceremony, leaving Chen Xi and him alone in the hall.
"The great elder actually did this for the sake of the entire Bai family, but he chose the wrong path." After thinking for a while, Bai Jingchen said, "I hope that what happened today will not make you feel bad."
Chen Xi was startled, shook his head and said, "There's no such thing as a grudge. I can still tell clearly who is the enemy and who is the friend."
Bai Jingchen laughed loudly and said: "Okay, with such a big mind, why worry about not being able to achieve great things."
Chen Xi also smiled.
"To be honest, because of you, you put me in a difficult position. I was almost forced to hide by those bastards from the Zuoqiu clan." Bai Jingchen sighed.
Of course Chen Xi knew what Bai Jingchen was talking about.
The Great Elder Bai Cheng is Bai Jingchen's brother, and Bai Wanqing is Bai Jingchen's younger sister. One of these two people is very attached to the Zuoqiu family, and their attitude towards him is naturally extremely bad.
The other one is the opposite.
Although Bai Jingchen is the head of the family, he is still in a difficult situation. No matter which party he helps, the other party will be dissatisfied.
And all of this actually comes from the grievances between his parents and the Zuoqiu family, and the relationship is complicated.
Even until now, Chen Xi has not been able to understand the relationship between Bai Wanqing and his parents, and why he was involved in the Zijin Bai family because of his own family.
"Have a rest today. I'll take you to see Wan Qing tomorrow." Bai Jingchen didn't say much, patted Chen Xi on the shoulder, and turned to leave.
But when leaving the hall, Bai Jingchen suddenly said something incomprehensible, "A real man doesn't just live for himself, right?"
Chen Xi remained silent in the hall alone for a long time, and finally shook his head.
From the moment he was born, he has been burdened with too many responsibilities. He has to take care of his grandfather, protect his younger brother, find his parents, and avenge the entire Chen family...
Therefore, until all these things are resolved, he is destined to be unable to live for himself.
This is responsibility.
What a real man should bear.
He never regretted doing all this and has persisted to this day.
Therefore, Bai Jingchen knows what he should do and what he should do without any instructions, and he will not avoid it and dare not face the truth...
Of course, Bai Jingchen's words may have another meaning, and they are also a tactful reminder to Chen Xi that when he learns the truth from Bai Wanqing tomorrow, he hopes that he will take on all this like a man.
And that kind of truth, that kind of responsibility, is destined not to be too easy.
…
Early the next morning.
It was just dawn when Chen Xi woke up from meditation.
"Unexpectedly, the second heavenly tribulation of the Earth Immortal is not far away..."
Chen Xi could clearly feel that there was a voice in the dark reminding him that in a short time, he would face the second heavenly tribulation - the Yin-Yang Thunder Tribulation!
Generally speaking, after passing through the nine levels of heavenly tribulation in the earthly immortal realm, a very long period of preparation is required before ushering in the next round of heavenly tribulation.
The time between this can range from nearly a thousand years to hundreds of years.
But even so, for those Earth Immortal Ancestors, this time is still too short. After all, overcoming the tribulation is no joke. A little negligence will lead to the end of body and soul.
Therefore, during this period of time, the Earth Immortal Ancestor either retreats to cultivate with all his strength, or searches the world for the things needed to overcome the tribulation, so as to be fully prepared. He will only feel that the time is not enough, but will not feel that the time to overcome the tribulation is too long.
.
Even if they are forced to do so, they wish they would never face another round of catastrophe.
Of course, the reality is cruel. In order to become an immortal and live forever, the ninth level of heavenly tribulation in this earthly immortal realm cannot be avoided by any earthly immortal ancestor.
This also makes it very rare to see the figure of the Earth Immortal Ancestor in the human world, because the existence of this heavenly tribulation is like a sharp sword hanging above the head, which does not allow them to waste any time.
It has only been about two months since Chen Xi experienced the Qinggang Thunder Tribulation when he last advanced to the Earth Immortal Realm, and he actually sensed a hint of the second level of Thunder Tribulation at this time.
Going out would be too sensational.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
But when Chen Xi thought about the reality that he was a "heretic", he felt relieved. He knew that his path to overcoming the tribulation was destined to be different from other earth immortal ancestors.
However, he is not afraid. With his current strength and the "merits without limit", as long as he does not lower the thunder of judgment, there is no need to worry about any fatal danger.
"You are such a lazy idiot. The sun is shining on your butt. Why don't you get up yet?"
When Chen Xi walked out of his courtyard and had not even approached the welcoming hall, he heard a crisp, tinkling sound coming from the hall, as sweet and sweet as a gurgling stream.
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows. Before he could realize who was speaking, he saw a beautiful figure rushing out of the hall like a gust of wind.
"Brother Chen Xi, you finally got up!"
A graceful and graceful girl wearing a goose-yellow dress with a waist as slender as a wicker stood in front of Chen Xi with a look of surprise on her face.
Her eyes are clear and black, round, her skin is white, her lips are red, her neck is slender, her hair is braided into little braids, and her whole person exudes a compelling youthful and lively atmosphere.
Chen Xi was stunned and said hesitantly: "Are you... Xixi?"
From the outline of the girl's eyebrows, you can vaguely see the shadow of the lively and cute little girl with braided hair, but it was too long ago, and Xixi was only six or seven years old back then, so he didn't dare
I'm sure the other person is Xixi.
The girl's smile was as bright as a flower, and she called out in a crisp voice: "Brother Chen Xi, I knew you still remembered me!"
Chen Xi opened his eyes wide, looked the girl up and down, and smiled in surprise: "Xixi, it's really you."
I still remember that when I was still a teenager, Xixi and Bai Wanqing lived next to each other. The little girl had a very good relationship with her brother Chen Hao. They were like followers and came to their house to play every day.
Although those years were extremely difficult, looking back now, they are beautiful memories that can never be replaced.
Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Chen Xi thought of his younger brother Chen Hao for no reason, and the time when he and his grandfather depended on each other in Songyan City...
I can't talk about being sad, but I just know in my heart that I can't go back to that period of time, and people at that time were all running on their own paths.
This feeling is like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see my mother."
As she said that, she took Chen Xi's arm and said affectionately: "Brother Chen Xi, how about Xiaohao, why didn't I come to Xuanhuan Territory with you? I have always wanted to go back to Songyan City, but my uncle refused to let me. It's really
Disappointing, alas, when you return to Songyan City, you must take me with you. By the way, you can’t let my mother know, otherwise you will force me to practice again, which will be annoying..."
Along the way, there were the clear and tinkling sounds of girls chirping. Chen Xi listened with a smile, but his thoughts were being plucked bit by bit like strings, and he remembered too many things.
How are they doing, brother?
Are those friends still working hard on their own paths?
Senior Ji Yu is probably still lying in the rocking chair basking in the sun as usual, right?
What about An'er and Yu'er? After so many years, will the two little guys miss themselves often?
…
After a stick of incense.
"Brother Chen Xi, go in, my mother is waiting for you inside." Xixi stopped in front of a courtyard and turned to Chen Xi and said.
"Aren't you going in?" Chen Xi woke up from his deep thoughts and asked.
"Hey, I won't go. Even if I go in, my mother will kick me out. Instead of letting her kick me out, I might as well leave first."
Xixi smiled and said: "Brother Chen Xi, please go quickly. I will come to play with you later."
With that said, she turned around and left happily, her black braid fluttering in the sun, exuding a flying and beautiful smell.
Chen Xi smiled, he liked this feeling.
This courtyard is quiet and elegant, with ancient and lush pine trees entrenched in it. The pine waves are rustling, the smoke is misty, and the shade is sprinkled on the ground.
When Chen Xi saw Bai Wanqing, she was sitting in front of a stone table under a pine tree. She was dressed in a wide robe, simple and plain, with a beautiful face, and her temperament was as gentle and quiet as before.
Seeing this familiar figure, Chen Xi felt an indescribable emotion in his heart for no reason, such as joy, sadness, excitement...it was so complicated that it was difficult to describe.
"You came."
Bai Wanqing stood up and looked over with a smile.
Those three words were like a clear spring, cleansing the soul and making Chen Xi's mood instantly calm down and turn into tranquility. He walked forward, stretched out his arms to hug Bai Wanqing, and called Aunt Bai.
When he was young, he, his grandfather, and his younger brother depended on each other. Bai Wanqing would sometimes help take care of himself and his younger brother. It can be said that in the heart of Chen Xi when he was young, he already regarded Bai Wanqing as a relative.
Later, when he grew up and became a young man, he devoted himself to making talismans to earn spiritual crystals to support his family. He would wake up early and work late at night, so he rarely saw Bai Wanqing again. However, the feeling was still there, but it was buried deep in his heart.
"Your parents would be very happy if they knew that you have achieved such success today."
Bai Wanqing raised her head and stared at the frosty color between Chen Xi's brows. She felt sad and relieved at the same time. The young eagle finally began to roar proudly for nine days. It was no longer the dull and taciturn young boy it once was...
