I saw a tall man with a familiar face striding over from outside the door. Who else could it be if he wasn't the close fourth child, Chen Xiong?
The aura on this guy's body is quite powerful. Like Zhao Ranruo, he is an early Xiantian master. Apparently, he has not slackened his practice in the past few years and has kept up with the pace of the Xiantian era.
"Good boy, I haven't seen you grow so tall in a few years!"
Chen Ying stood up, walked several feet away in one stride, and slapped Chen Xiong hard on his strong shoulder.
"No, no, no, no, my little body can't stand the torture of the third brother!"
Chen Xiong's tall and strong body suddenly tilted, and with a wry smile on his face he shouted hurriedly: "I also have a wife and a baby soon, can you give me some face, third brother?"
Chen Ying's face froze...
By the way, Chen Xiong is already over 20 years old, and he got married just last year, to the daughter of a wealthy family in the North.
Listening to the information this boy just revealed, it is obvious that he is about to become a father.
Only then did Chen Ying realize that she had obviously been 'completely' forgotten, and she had not heard any rumors about her marriage in the house so far.
Of course, given the cold relationship between him and Zhenbei Gongfu, and the fact that there is no mother-in-law to come forward, it is understandable that there is no one to help pull the strings.
Chen Ying herself has no intention of getting married. Martial arts are so profound and profound that even if she spends her whole life studying them, it will not be enough. There will be no time for romance.
…
In the main hall of the Zhao family, the fragrance of tea lingers, and Yan Yan smiles.
"Your boy's strength is pretty good!"
Holding the tea cup in her hand, Chen Ying smiled lightly and said: "But we can't be careless. The world is now full of masters. Once we fall behind, it will be difficult to catch up!"
"I know this!"
Zhao Xiong was obviously much more mature than before. There was a hint of bitterness on his face, and he said helplessly: "It's just the inner strength and mental skills practiced by my little brother..."
When he said this, Zhao Ranruo rushed forward and said with a smile: "Uncle, I have no intention of looking down on the internal skills and mental methods passed down by the direct descendants of the Zhao family!"
"Hey, you don't need to remind me!"
Zhao Ranruo smiled angrily and said: "The grade of "Thunder Heart Technique" is indeed not high. This is an indisputable fact!"
Tsk!
Of course Chen Ying understood such an obvious complaint, and he said with a smile: "I have obtained a top internal skill from my house before. If your kid wants to practice it, I told my father and I think there will be no problem.
!”
"Really?"
Chen Xiong's face was full of surprise, and then he said gratefully: "The third brother is still amazing, he can actually get the top internal skills from his father!"
Tsk!
Chen Ying was a little funny. He didn't believe this guy Chen Xiong. He hadn't heard the news before and really thought that Aunt Zhao was just for free.
"You kid, don't be in a hurry to be happy!"
Waving his hand, he reminded him nonchalantly: "It's hard to say whether this top internal skill is suitable for you or not!"
As he spoke, Zhao Ranruo, who was sitting at the top, trembled his lips slightly and directly repeated the main formulas of "The Fiery Sword Art" using the method of sound wave vibration.
This method is similar to transmitting sound into secrets. If you know the rules of sound vibration, it will naturally be easy to crack.
If you don't know, then you can only get a black eye.
Zhao Ranruo didn't have much idea. It was only normal for Chen Ying to behave like this. After all, a top internal skill and mental technique was too precious.
only……
The surprise on Chen Xiong's face quickly faded, and he said helplessly: "Thank you, Third Brother, for your kindness, but this inner skill method does not fit with the "Thunder-Thunder Method" I practice!"
Neigong's mental method is different from Neijiaquan. It is a special energy that combines mental power and one's own essence. Everyone's true energy is unique.
Like Chen Xiong's current situation, if he wants to practice a higher level of inner strength and mental skills, it must be consistent with the "Thunder-Thunder Mental Technique" he practiced before.
Not to mention 100% compatibility, there must be at least 80% or even 90% compatibility, otherwise once you practice cultivation, your future will be ruined.
After hearing his words, Zhao Ranruo, who was sitting at the top, had a very obvious look of disappointment in his eyes.
If we say that the "Thunder Heart Technique" passed down by the direct descendants of the Zhao family was considered good in the past, it would at least give practitioners a chance to enter the innate world.
But now, it seems that the innate era of Qi warriors has arrived...
As far as he knew, there were more than a dozen innate warriors who had appeared in the North City in the past few years alone. Zhao Ranruo's early stage innate cultivation was really beyond his reach.
If you are not careful, you may be left behind...
This is no joke. It involves one's own honor and disgrace, as well as the rise and fall of the family, and the most critical competition for resources. Lack of strength does not matter.
However, Zhao Ranruo was really depressed that the inner strength and mental skills passed down from his family, which he originally thought were sufficient, fell out of control at such a critical moment.
Internal strength and mental skills are much more difficult to master than internal martial arts.
Even if the Zhao family has access to higher-level internal skills and mental techniques, most of them are not suitable to become the advanced skills of the "Thunder-Thunder Mental Technique" passed down from generation to generation.
Of course, the Zhao family would not be stingy at all if they could obtain higher-level internal skills.
"Then what are your plans, fourth brother?"
Chen Ying ignored Zhao Ranruo's expression change, looked at Chen Xiong and asked seriously: "Have you asked your father for help?"
Chen Xiong showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, shook his head and said: "The internal skills in the house are all related to the "Mountain Shaking Kung Fu", and they are not consistent with the "Thunder Running Mental Technique", so I didn't bother my father!"
When he said this, he obviously felt guilty and lacked confidence...
Tsk!
Chen Ying could only shake his head secretly. This kid was still too young, and he didn't know whether it was because he couldn't lose face or because of other factors.
Since Chen Longcheng, the cheap father, has top-notch internal skills such as the "Fire Sword Technique", he will certainly not be short of other types of internal skills.
"However, I have found a way that allows me to learn more profound things and is very suitable for my own internal skills and mental methods!"
Here, Chen Xiong stuttered a bit when he spoke, his eyes flashed as he hesitated, and he did not dare to meet Chen Ying's eyes. His guilty and short-tempered attitude was too obvious.
"Oh, are you planning to join another family?"
Chen Ying didn't mean to make a fuss. When he spoke, he looked straight at Zhao Ranruo who was looking up. His meaning was self-evident.
Zhao Ranruo smiled bitterly and explained helplessly: "You kid, don't laugh at me, I also have thoughts of joining Pegasus Hall!"
Pegasus Hall?
Chen Ying's eyes moved and he chuckled: "It seems that Pegasus Hall has paid a high price to win over you two!"
"Third brother, aren't you angry?"
Seeing his expression, Chen Xiong was surprised and said: "Although I think it's okay, I don't know what my father thinks?"
What could be the idea?
Is it possible that Chen Xiong will be destroyed if he is angry in his heart?
"What are you doing angry about?"
Chen Ying smiled a little enigmatically and said leisurely: "You have chosen the path yourself. I hope you won't regret it!"
Chen Xiong opened his mouth, but no words came out.
He wanted to say that he would never regret it!
When people go to higher places, isn't it right for water to flow to lower places?
However, when he met Chen Ying's half-smiling eyes, his original confidence completely dissipated, and he even became a little overwhelmed and worried.
"Don't worry, kid!"
At this time, Zhao Ranruo chuckled and said, breaking the unspeakable embarrassment in the hall: "Pegasus Hall has dispatched elders at the peak innate level, and they have come up with two high-level internal skills and mental techniques that can be cultivated to the peak innate level!"
"Oh, it seems that Pegasus Hall's background is really not weak. It has two high-level internal skills and mental techniques that can be cultivated to the peak of innateness!"
Zhao Ranruo smiled bitterly and said: "It is because of our special status that Xiong'er and I are treated like this, but this opportunity is rare and we must seize it!"
Chen Ying nodded in approval, and then did not take the initiative to bring up related topics.
Originally, he was thinking that if the fourth child, Chen Xiong, trusted him, he could help improve the level of "Thunder Heart Technique", at least to support Chen Xiong's cultivation to the middle stage of Xiantian, and even to the late stage of Xiantian.
only……
During this meeting, one could clearly feel the unspeakable alienation between him and Chen Xiong.
After all, we haven't seen each other for several years, and although we often exchange letters, we are still unfamiliar.
Apart from other things, if Chen Xiong really trusted his third brother, he should have mentioned a few words in the letter about such a major matter, so that Chen Ying could help think of something.
Of course, there was nothing he could do about this before he traveled through the Water Margin world.
But after traveling back from the Water Margin world, his level has improved by a small amount. Even though he has not practiced the internal skills and mental skills, his advanced level can help raise the level of "Thunderbolt Mental Technique" by one or two small steps, which is not a problem.
of.
It's a pity that Chen Xiong didn't mention it at all, and now he even said that he has reached an agreement with Pegasus Hall, so there is nothing more to say.
I don't feel any disappointment in my heart. It's not that I didn't expect this situation, it's just a pity for the deep friendship that was formed back then.
If possible, he would not hesitate to help, but Chen Xiong obviously did not think that he could help, or would not trouble his somewhat unfamiliar third brother.
Speaking of which, if we really talk about it, Chen Ying is doing quite badly. At least in the eyes of ordinary people, Flying Fox Trail is not a good place.
Even if Chen Ying has extraordinary abilities, it will not take a short time to see results if he wants to develop them.
After chatting and laughing for a while, seeing the sky gradually darkening, Chen Ying took the initiative to say goodbye and asked Chen Xiong if he would go back with him?
"Let's go back together. My father sent someone to inform me before. I think I have something to tell you tonight!"
Chen Xiong then stood up. After several hours of talking and laughing, the unfamiliarity with Chen Ying, the third brother whom he had not seen for many years, disappeared. His words became more casual and less polite and cold than before.
"Well, my fourth brother and I will leave now. We won't bother you again when we have time!"
He turned around and waved to Zhao Ranruo, and the two brothers Chen Ying and Chen Xiong left together. The light of the setting sun stretched their silhouettes.
Zhao Ranruo squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, greeted his confidants and gave him a few words of advice, then waved him away and murmured to himself with a complicated expression: "I hope the guys from Pegasus Hall will not disappoint me. This kid Chen Ying is definitely a rare one."
