Chapter 20: Opportunity
"Okay, get up."
Liu Chengyuan said.
"I can't afford it."
Lin Xuewei seemed to be playing petty: "My father told you to punish me, but don't you want to see me? Don't you have a new love and you hate me? Then punish me."
As he spoke, a mist rose up in his charming eyes, which were crystal clear against the glitter.
"It's up to you. If you don't want to get up, then you can kneel down."
Liu Chengyuan said, turned around and left.
Seeing his appearance, Lin Xuewei was startled, and then her whole body fell into a silent sadness.
"Ayuan."
Liu Chengyuan ignored it and left the hall directly.
Yuan Hai, who was waiting outside, followed him: "Master, she..."
"When she stops kneeling, let her go back."
Liu Chengyuan said.
"yes."
Yuan Hai responded.
"Okay, I'll continue practicing."
Liu Chengyuan said and walked towards the training room.
He had just cultivated Tianji Technique to the third level, and he was excitedly planning to create a sense of presence in the realms of Taixu Light, Nine Realms Peak, and Humanity Yongchang, so as not to be talked about by other people most of the time. He didn't even have a chance to interrupt.
"Master, wait a moment."
Yuan Hai handed a letter to Liu Chengyuan: "I just received a letter from your home."
"Um?"
Liu Chengyuan took the letter, glanced at it, and frowned.
"Can you not go back?"
"I'm afraid not this time."
Yuan Hai said: "The one who came here this time is Liu Wuhen from the Tiannan main line. He is the most valued descendant of the ancestor and a big shot of the same generation as the old patriarch. He is currently serving as the deputy city chief of Tiannan City. He is just settling in the fort. If he rushes When we arrive at Baiyu City, the city lord Bai Yixian will greet us personally."
Liu Chengyuan considered that he had been in this world for more than five months and nearly half a year, and he no longer had to worry about leaking any more flaws. Although he was a little uneasy, as long as he still wanted to rest against the big tree of the Liu family to enjoy the shade, this kind of thing was inevitable.
"Okay then, prepare for the carriage."
Liu Chengyuan said.
After a moment, he added: "Call Yin Yuchan."
Although Liujia Town is only three hundred miles away from Baiyu City, now that we are out of the city, it is not a bad thing to have stronger security forces.
"yes."
Yuan Hai responded.
Liu Chengyuan also suppressed the idea of going to Tianji Realm, packed up and went to the outer courtyard.
Under the protection of Yuan Feng, Yin Yuchan and several guards, they got on the carriage and left Baiyu City, heading straight to Liujia Town three hundred miles away.
Although his current chariot is not as good as the Wind Chaser, which is worth eighty spirit stones, it is not cheap at all, so it is quite safe along the way.
In addition, Liujia Town was only three hundred miles away from Baiyu City, so Yuan Cheng arrived at Liujia Town in a calm manner three hours later.
To be precise, it was the Liu Family Castle that was several miles long and wide.
This castle is also engraved with a large number of formation runes. Due to its area, the density of formation runes is one point higher than that of White Jade City.
It is said that once these formations are fully activated, several golden elixir monks cannot break through them in a short period of time.
Yuan Cheng entered the city and soon came to a large courtyard.
At this time, there were already many carriages parked outside the courtyard.
The Baiyu Liu Family was founded by Liu Chixiao and run by Liu Fengxue.
But Liu Chixiao had six sons, three daughters, and nine veins, four of which lived in Liujia Town, three of which lived in Baiyu City, and two of which went to other cities for development.
But now Liu Wuhen, the main line of Tiannan, has arrived. Whether it is the four lines in the Liu Family Castle, the three lines living in White Jade City, or the two lines going to other cities to develop, they have all sent people over.
This is also the reason why there were many carriages parked outside when Liu Chengyuan came.
People from all walks of life gathered together, and Liujiabao was also very lively.
Liu Chengyuan got off the carriage, and several men and women turned around from the side.
She was startled when she saw him, and then greeted him with a smile: "Cousin Chengyuan is here."
"I heard that cousin Chengyuan has been living happily in Baiyu City recently. He is really enjoying himself. Unlike us, we stay in Liu Town and live in poverty."
Several people said.
Liu Chengyuan just nodded and said hello without replying.
Soon, the two sides staggered.
After Liu Chengyuan left, a few people gathered together: "I heard that our parents and elders called us here because the eldest son of Tiannan will test our standards later."
"I have also heard that this great master is from the orthodox Taixu Academy and Taixu Hall, and has risen to the Taixu Sect. Therefore, his focus this time should be on those who are expected to be admitted to the Taixu Hall, or even Family members who have already studied in Taixu Palace.”
"Taixu Hall? Liu Chengyuan has been wasting on women's bellies in the past few years. It is said that he has only reached the second level of Qi Refining this year. There is probably no hope. Hey, the eldest son of the family head is actually at this level. When the master is angry, Bai Yu The head of the Liu family probably has to be replaced by someone else..."
A few people were a little gloating.
Although they and Liu Chengyuan were cousins, they obviously didn't like him.
Liu Chengyuan entered the inner courtyard. Mrs. Liu Zhang was holding the hand of her youngest daughter Liu Huaying and talking: "Xiaoying is only fifteen years old and has reached the peak of the second level of Qi refining. In the next two years, he should be able to reach the third level of Qi refining. Very soon." I hope to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining before I am twenty and enter the Taixu Hall, and then perform well in front of my uncle."
"Mom, I understand."
Liu Huaying said obediently.
Liu Zhang was about to turn to Liu Qingshuang to speak again, but when she saw Liu Chengyuan coming in, she stood up a little excitedly: "Yuan'er is here."
Liu Chengyuan might have been very unnatural if he had just passed through it. With a few months of buffering time, and the fact that his parents had never stopped funding large and small spiritual stones in the past few months, although he was a little embarrassed, But she still called out: "Mother."
"My son is thin."
"I'm very fine."
"Yuan Hai wrote to say that you have been practicing very hard these past few months, and my son has become sensible. This is great."
Mrs. Liu Zhang was very pleased.
Liu Qingshuang on the side glanced at him: "He is very carefree in White Jade City, but he can't lose weight."
Liu Chengyuan has more than a dozen brothers and sisters, but only he, Liu Qingshuang, and Liu Huaying are listed on the family tree.
Even though the probability of a child with spiritual roots being born from the union of immortal cultivators with spiritual roots is much greater than that of ordinary people, it is still less than 10%.
His brothers and sisters who have no spiritual roots often undergo some professional training and help manage the family's property, so they can spend their lives peacefully.
Because of this sense of separation, although his relationship with Liu Qingshuang and Liu Huaying was good, it was far from being intimate.
There is even a vague competitive relationship.
"So Qingshuang, you, the elder sister, have to take care of your younger brother. If you can't write a word "Liu" in one stroke, and you two siblings don't help each other, how can you let other brothers assist you when you run the business in the future."
Liu Zhang's words were serious and sincere.
After saying that, there was another burst of greetings.
Liu Chengyuan felt extremely embarrassed.
Fortunately, this situation lasted for more than an hour, and the housekeeper came over from the side yard: "Madam, the master asked me to take the young master and the two young ladies to meet the eldest master."
"Go ahead, Yuan'er, don't lose etiquette."
Liu Zhang ordered.
The three of them quickly walked to the inner courtyard.
On the way, Liu Qingshuang glanced at him: "Have you reached the third level of Qi refining?"
"right."
"But the third level of Qi Refining has nothing worthy of praise among the younger generation of disciples. Among the thirty-three of our generation in the Nine Meridians, there are only two who are between sixteen and less than twenty. There are six at the fourth level of Qi Refining. My uncle’s son Liu Hanguang is four months older than you and is at the fifth level of Qi Refining.”
Liu Qingshuang said in a cold voice: "With your cultivation, you are holding my father back."
Liu Chengyuan was unable to refute.
"Stand behind me for a while, don't speak out easily, don't show off your temper, lest your father's face be disgraced by other people, his majesty will be affected, and the resources that can secretly assist you in private will also be restricted. In order to You should also pay attention to the occasion."
Liu Qingshuang said with a slightly serious tone.
"knew."
Liu Chengyuan replied.
Several people walked through the corridor and soon arrived at the inner courtyard, which was filled with flowers and covered thousands of square meters.
In the inner courtyard hall, there were bursts of conversations, and hearty laughter could be heard from time to time.
The principals of the Baiyu Liu family's nine branches, including his father Liu Fengxue and grandfather Liu Chixiao, are among them.
Outside, there were thirty-three people of the same generation as Liu Chengyuan who had a well-known genealogy. Twenty-nine people arrived and stood quietly waiting.
Liu Chengyuan, Liu Qingshuang, and Liu Chengyuan also joined the waiting queue.
After more than ten minutes, the conversation inside came to an end.
Then Liu Chixiao's voice came from inside: "The little guys are all here. Big brother said that he prepared an opportunity for these little guys. Can we talk about it now?"
"Haha, yes, this opportunity has something to do with your White Jade City."
Liu Wuhen said with a smile.
"oh?"
"Fourth brother, do you still remember the disaster of the sun falling outside Baiyu City a few months ago?"
"Of course, I will never forget such a shocking scene in this life. It is said that a powerful being passed by Yunling and saw the human demons raging, so he used his great supernatural power to wipe out all three thousand human demons."
"And the opportunity I'm talking about is related to this powerful man!"
