Vol 2 Chapter 165: Yangmou

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Five
"Sun You, who is that? I don't know." Pu shook his head and took another sip of wine.
Shen Shi smiled, and said: "It was a good friend of mine who met at the sect in the same year. Besides that, he is also the grandson of Elder Sun, ranking second in the current generation of the Sun family. Also the second son of Elder Sun."
Old Man Pu froze for a moment, and slowly put down the wine jar he was holding, glanced at Shen Shi, and said, "Sun Mingyang's grandson of the old man?"
Shen Shi nodded and said, "Yes."
Old man Pu's eyes flashed slightly, but the expression on his face did not change. He said, "Your kid will make friends. What's wrong, something?"
Shen Shi said "Well" and said, "The one who came over to complain to me said that there is still a personal disciple under the name of Elder Sun. As the Fourth Zheng Conference is approaching, Elder Sun decided to take care of his own children and plan to accept one. The Sun family started. But in the end, his eldest brother Sun Heng was selected for the spot. As a result, his future is bleak, because he is disappointed and angry, and no one can tell. That's why he came to me to vomit."
Old Man Pu smiled, took a drink, shook his head but said nothing.
Shen Shi continued, saying: "The disciple also heard a news, just like the rules when you accepted me as a disciple, Elder Sun is listed among the five elders, and you must also invite one or more elders from the Yuan Dan realm. I was watching an exam, and I heard that Elder Sun invited Elder Jin Zhan from the Spirit Beast Palace, and then that exam was for Brother Sun Heng to have a battle on the mountain, and the opponent was..." At this point, he suddenly He said nothing, a strange expression appeared on his face.
Old Man Pu glanced at him and said, "What is the opponent?"
Shen Shi coughed and said, "I heard that the opponent that Elder Sun arranged for Brother Sun Heng was a black turtle."
Old Man Pu was in a daze, seemingly unable to react for a while, and said in amazement: "What?"
Shen Shi curled his mouth, his expression on his face seemed to be somewhat mocking, and said: "A black-striped tortoise, the kind that has been raised in the Palace of Spirit Beasts."
Old Man Pu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped up and said angrily: "How can this old man be so shameless!"
The black-striped tortoise is a common low-level monster in the animal farm of the spirit beast. It has a mild temperament and low combat power. Basically, when encountering an enemy, the head and limbs are shrunk into the hard shell, so the tortoise can't get out. Others tossed away, there was no way to fight back. This kind of black-striped tortoise is kept in captivity in the Spirit Beast Palace, and the tortoise shell of the adult black-striped tortoise is regarded as a kind of spiritual material that can be used for refining.
It's just such a weak spirit beast, who will almost only get beaten and won't fight back, but it's chosen as the opponent of Sun Heng's entrance examination. This is self-evident, of course, it is just a casual cutscene. I mean this disciple is accepted.
It is reasonable to say that Elder Sun Mingyang accepts his apprentices as he wants. No one can take care of it and there is no reason to be nosy. But when Elder Pu from Zishutang planned to accept Shen Shi as his disciple, Elder Sun came out. He said a few words, and also said from the side a test of looking for the silver anemone beads in the Coral Sea.
The difficulty of the two examinations before and after the school is really too big and the contrast is too sharp.
Old Man Pu waved his mouth at the wine jar for a long time, looking very annoyed, but after a while, his face suddenly sank, but he looked at Shen Shi and said: "I have never heard of this. ,How did you know?"
Shen Shi looked complacent, and said calmly: "You Sun told me, and this matter has not been made public. Elder Sun probably planned to do it before the exam in a few days. Naturally, there is nothing to say afterwards. Sun You may be dissatisfied, and he is also a child of the Sun family, so he learned the news from the people who were close to Elder Sun from the Sun family."
Old Man Pu gave an "Oh", then smiled suddenly, and said, "Your friend has a deep friendship with you."
Shen Shi smiled and said, "I have a good relationship with You Sun, but he still wants me to tell you what he said, and see if you are likely to intervene in this matter. It's not allowed to succeed or not, but he may always have such a chance."
Old Man Pu looked a little funny at first, but when he heard this, he was stunned again, his expression was obviously stagnant, and he frowned, "Smelly boy, you...what you said so simply and frankly, shouldn't it be trying to look sideways? Look at the old man’s mood, and then try to persuade him to go and have a fight with old man Sun?"
Shen Shi shook his head and pulled a chair from the side to invite Old Man Pu to sit down. At the same time, he said: "Although the disciple is dull, but doing things like that is like calculating Master, I can't do it. And Master, you have always treated me kindly. What happened, the disciple spread out and said, why bother to cover it up, as if it were a villain?"
Old Man Pu glanced at Shen Shi and suddenly grinned, but he pulled Shen Shi over, patted his head with his hand, and smiled: "The stinky boy is cleverly clever."
Shen Shi laughed, and then smiled: "Then Master, how do you plan on this matter?"
Old Man Pu snorted, and said, "Even if Old Man Sun is not a good person, he is actually in the real Yuan Dan realm. This is to let the old man carry a real Yuan Dan, is there any benefit? Listen?"
Shen Shi shook his head and said, "It's no good."
Old Man Pu was furious, slapped the back of his chair, and said angrily: "Asshole, are you embarrassed to let me go?"
Shen Shi thought for a while, then tentatively asked, "Is that disgusting Elder Sun count?"
Old Man Pu frowned and said, "How do you say?"
Shen Shi said: "The exam school arranged by Elder Sun for his grandchildren was originally a joke. Everyone can tell it was just a cutscene. If you intervene, Master, there will be two results. One is that the matter was criticized in the past. , But in the end Elder Sun did not dump you. It was certain to make him angry and irritable. He was disgusted. Secondly, Master, you have great magical powers, and you actually made this exam pornographic. If Sun Heng can’t worship the teacher, then Sun You, the second generation of the Sun family’s younger generation, may hopefully be in the position. In this way, the two rooms in the Sun family will inevitably face each other. There will be many fights in the future. This is also a headache, but when you count it, it makes him very sick."
Speaking of the last, Shen Shi pursed his lips, and generally nodded when he came to the conclusion, saying: "Well, anyway, it will definitely be disgusting Elder Sun, so it depends on what you think of Elder Sun Mingyang, Master. Up?"
Old Man Pu glared at Shen Shi and said, "Why are you so bad, brat, does Sun Mingyang have any hatred with you?"
Shen Shi shook his head and said: "There is no hatred, and the disciple's realm of Taoism is so different from his old man, how can I talk about any hatred."
Old Man Pu smiled and said, "Then why do you want to help that grandson friend?"
Shen Shi said indifferently: "Well, Sun You is my friend. I really want to help him have a better future; second, come, like Elder Sun, it was deliberate when Master Sun accepted me as a disciple. Embarrassing us, your old man doesn't matter, but I am tired of going to the bottom of the sea and even almost in danger of life. Enmity is impossible, but the two masters and apprentices are talking here privately. I secretly see him not pleasing to the eyes. "
Old Man Pu smiled with his palms in great joy, pointing at Shen Shi and smiling: "You kid...hahaha, not bad, not bad!"
Shen Shi shrugged and smiled without saying a word.

Floating Cloud City, Zhong Family Residence.
The Lingxiao Sect was in the four most prestigious families of vassal families in Floating Cloud City. Now the Hou family has been defeated, and the family business has been divided by other families. It goes without saying that the glory of the past has blown away. And for the remaining three generations, the Sun family has Sun Mingyang ancestors, like the sun in the sky, and the momentum is momentary; while the Xu family seems to be low-key, but the family rules are solemn and heavy, and there are many strange people and strangers who have income under the command. The strength should not be underestimated, and can faintly compete with the Sun family.
In contrast, the situation of this last Zhong family is much worse. The term
family descent
has been placed on the Zhong family’s head many years ago, and the talents have been adjusted to zero and the family business has shrunk until today. Today, suddenly there are two daughters from the Zhong family in the sect of Lingxiao Zong, who are widely optimistic, this is a slight improvement.
It's just a huge family, and all hopes now fall on the two young girls. The current dilemma of the Zhong family can be imagined. Moreover, after all, Zhong Qinglu and Zhong Qingzhu are just ordinary disciples of the Ning Yuan realm. Even though they may have extraordinary talents and have a promising future, there are so many talented talents in the Hongmeng cultivation world, but the years have passed. People who can really take a long, towering tree from seedlings are so rare.
Disposition, circumstances, chance, diligence and even luck, it is extremely difficult to become a figure standing on top of all beings. So although there are two Shu of Zhong Family, in Floating Cloud City, people who are optimistic about Zhong Family now It's not too much.
Although the Zhong family has been declining for many years, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and there are still some family business. For example, the ancestral home of the Zhong family is very large and decent, and it is considered the most decent mansion in Floating Cloud City. one. However, the world has changed with time, and the Xuanhe of that day has long since disappeared. Many parts of the Zhong family mansion are also showing a shabby appearance, from the inside to the outside.
In a secluded place in the backyard of the mansion, a small two-story building was built, and a wall was enclosed outside, and a small garden was enclosed. It seemed that the environment was beautiful and quiet, and it was a good place to live.
This is where Zhong Qingzhu's mother lived in Zhong's family. Every time Zhong Qingzhu came back to visit her mother, she mostly lived here. However, on this day, Zhong Qingzhu’s mother Liu family was a little worried about her daughter, because after Zhong Qingzhu came back two days ago, instead of the habit of staying at most for about half a day, he stayed here for a few days. I still have no intention of looking at it.
In the past few days, Zhong Qingzhu did not look unusually in front of the Liu clan. When he talked, he mostly chatted about daily trivial matters, just like mothers and daughters talked to each other. But other than that, the Liu clan saw himself When this daughter was alone, she always sat alone with a cold expression, stunned, she didn't know what was thinking in her heart, but she seemed to look at it, but she always felt that her daughter’s delicate eyebrows always seemed to be sad. The slumping air lingered, and even the clear eyes in the usual days seemed to be dimmed a lot.
Sitting in the small building, leaning against the window and looking far away, the small garden flower path wanders alone.
This may be the three things Zhong Qingzhu has done most at home in the past few days.
The Liu clan gradually became a little worried. She was a mortal and weak tempered. She took Zhong Qingzhu to Zhong's house back then. She was just a lowly cook and had no status. Only in the future, Zhong Qingzhu will shine and become so powerful in the Lingxiao sect, which allows her to live a good life, but anyway, in her heart, Qingzhu is still her beloved daughter who needs care.
So on this day, when she saw Zhong Qingzhu sitting alone in front of the window on the second floor for an hour without a word, she finally couldn't bear it and planned to go upstairs to ask her carefully. Just when she made up her mind to go upstairs, she suddenly heard a voice outside the small garden gate, saying:
"Sister, are you at home?"
Hearing that voice, it was Zhong Liancheng, the master of the Zhong family, who came here.
