Xiao De turned around and left the bustling reception hall and came to the west wing.
"Brother Xiao"
"Morning Sister"
"Did my father choose you as his heir?" Xu Chen asked hurriedly.
"No." Xiao De said aggrievedly, with a gloomy expression on his face.
"Ah, why?" Xu Chen asked doubtfully. Xiao De's talent and strength are obvious to all. Apart from his senior brother, he is the most likely candidate to inherit Qingzheng's swordsmanship. However, due to an accident a few years ago, his senior brother had an accident.
My magic power is gone and I can no longer inherit my father's swordsmanship, so now Senior Brother Xiao has become the most promising disciple. I don't know what went wrong.
"Why? Huh, how did I know that my swordsmanship is not inferior to Ximen Yu's, but the master still chose him, so I am not willing to accept it. Sister Chen, do you understand my difficulties?" Xiao De spat at Xu Qing.
Bitter waterway.
"I understand, Brother Xiao, I understand everything. Then do you want me to ask dad why he didn't choose you? This will make you give up."
"Giving up? No, it would be a dream for me to just give up like this. Sister Chen, you love me, right?"
"Of course, Brother Xiao, don't be like this. You make me worried." Xu Qing said worriedly.
"No, don't worry, as long as you are willing to do me a favor."
"Okay, help me in any way, as long as I can do it, I will be willing."
"Really, you are so kind, my dear Chen sister." Xiao De pretended to be touched, and then hugged Xu Chen and continued: "You know, what your father values most in his life is a person's character.
But now I suspect that Ximen Yu, the heir chosen by your father, is of bad character, so I need you to help me test him. If we can test that he is indeed of bad character, then no matter how good his magic is, he is not qualified to be a master.
Heir, in this way, I still have the opportunity to inherit Master's Qingzheng swordsmanship, and you have also made a great contribution to the Zhengqing Sect. Don't you kill two birds with one stone?" Xiao De persuaded.
"Hmm, but...how can we test Ximenyu's character?" Xu Chen nodded and asked again.
"Come on, let me tell you, this is what you do..." Xiao De leaned close to Xu Chen's ear and whispered softly.
"Ah, in this case... everyone will know by then, how can I get married in the future?" Xu Chen hesitated.
"Silly Sister Xu, if this way, no one else dares to marry you, then you will belong to me completely. No matter what, I will never dislike you." Xiao De promised.
"But what if my father takes the blame?"
"No, as your father is a famous swordsman in the fairy world, how could he not understand the principles of swordsmanship? Our method is indeed a bit unique, but as long as we can help your father find evidence of Ximen Yu's bad behavior, your father will
How can you blame me, and if this happens, your father's honest swordsmanship will be given to me instead, and the money will not go to outsiders."
"Then will Brother Xiao really marry me?"
That's natural.
"Hmm...well, I hope this can really test Ximenyu's character." After some thought, Xu Chen followed Xiao De's suggestion.
…
On the other side, Ximen Yu accompanied Master Xu to toast everywhere. Everyone praised Ximen Yu. After all, it is not easy to become the number one scholar in the Nine Palaces, let alone stand out from the seventy-two great immortal forces and become the successor of the Sword Immortal.
"Junior Brother Ximen." Shan Li greeted Ximen Yu with a smile.
"I've met Senior Brother Shan, Senior Brother Zeng, and Senior Brother Xie." Ximenyu responded.
"How dare you, how dare you, there are countless things in the painting." Zeng Yi said, although they did spend several years together in the Qingzhengtu of Qiankun, but when they returned to reality, it was just a fleeting few minutes.
That's why Zeng Yi said something.
"Brother Zeng, it's your fault to say this. According to your opinion, Ximenyu is not qualified to inherit." Shan Li retorted.
"Shan Li, you clearly know that I don't mean this, why should you misinterpret my meaning? You and Ximen Yu are brothers, do you think you are worthy?" Zeng Yi's temper flared up, and he counterattacked regardless.
"You." Shan Li was choked and speechless.
"Senior Brother Zeng, you are all my senior brothers at Zhengqing Immortal Pavilion. The time you spent there is still vivid in your mind. You can easily forget it. Besides, there is an indisputable fact that no one can deny.
." Ximenyu asked rhetorically.
"Oh, is it that Junior Brother Ximen is talking about Zhengqing Sword Technique?" Xie Kun asked. Indeed, from this aspect, Ximen Yu, Xiao De and himself have all learned the tenth level of Zhengqing Sword Technique, while Shan Lizeng
Yi and Huo Ya learned the ninth level of Zhengqing Sword Technique. In this way, Master Xu is worthy of being a swordsman. He has the demeanor of a master. He doesn't mind the spread of his sword technique at all. He can be said to be famous all over the world. Of course, Zhengqing Sword Technique
Naturally, there is no comparison between the swordsmanship and the swordsmanship of Qingzheng, but the swordsmanship of the swordsman, even the relatively ordinary swordsmanship of Qingqing, is very good.
"Exactly, so we all have the same swordsmanship, so naturally we should be worthy of being brothers."
"That's right, Zeng Yi, what else can you say?" Shan Li agreed.
"Okay, that's really something I didn't think about." Zeng Yi said dullly.
…
After three rounds of drinking, the heads of various forces in the immortal world took their favorite disciples and said their goodbyes one after another.
"Ximen Yu, you must learn swordsmanship from your master Xu, and he will be waiting for your good news at Wuming Palace." Head Qi of Wuming Palace instructed.
"Yes, Master." Ximen Yu responded.
"Brother Xu, Ximen Yu is naughty by nature. I need to trouble you to discipline him. I'll take my leave first."
"Brother Qi, don't worry."
"See you later." Head Qi said goodbye.
"Ximen Yu, you will live here for a long time from now on. Come on, let me introduce you to a few people."
"Yeah." Ximen Yu responded and followed Master Xu to the back hall.
…
"Ximen Yu, this is your master's wife." Master Xu introduced to a middle-aged woman dressed in simple clothes and with a kind face. At this moment, she was taking care of a young man who was collapsed on the bed.
"Hello, Master." Ximenyu greeted.
"Hey, here we come." The master's wife put down the porcelain bowl in her hand and responded.
"The one lying on the bed is your senior brother You Zhen. He was once my most proud disciple, and now he has completely turned into a useless person. Alas, I, Xu Zhengqing, have lived an upright life, so why did I get this retribution?" Xu Men
The Lord was very sad.
"Zhengqing, why are you saying these sad words so quietly? Really." The teacher's wife held back her tears and blamed her. You Zhen was the child she brought up since she was a child. She has always taught her carefully and treated her as her own, even though she later gave birth to Wei Zhen.
However, the mistress still regarded You Zhen as her biological son. Who knew that an accident a few years ago completely ruined Zhen'er's bright future.
