Three days have passed since the day of the clan competition.
The major forces in Guxuan City were decorated with lanterns and decorations. The four major families and the city lord's palace were crowded, and small families in the city came to pay their respects from time to time.
At night, Guxuan City is brightly lit, but there are still lively sounds everywhere.
The same is true for the Zhou family residence.
In the main hall of the Zhou family, everyone from the top to the bottom of the Zhou family gathered together. The three elders Zhou Cangshan, Zhou Jingshan and Zhou Taishan were at the top of the list, with faces full of spring breeze.
Zhou Changkong led Zhou Rui and sat aside.
There were smiles on the faces of the two of them, and they were in a pretty good mood.
The other children of the Zhou family and the major deacons were sitting in other places, toasting to the three elders, Zhou Changkong and Zhou Rui from time to time.
The atmosphere was nothing short of jubilant.
Just because tomorrow is the day to go to Pingnan City to participate in the selection competition.
Zhou Changkong and Zhou Rui, as the two people representing the Zhou family, are naturally highly anticipated and attracted much attention. Today's dinner was held for this purpose. Everyone hopes that Zhou Rui and Zhou Changkong will get good rankings.
Especially for Zhou Changkong, he has high expectations.
Zhou Rui can also be regarded as a famous genius in Guxuan City, but his cultivation is not enough, so it is difficult to compare with the super geniuses in other cities.
To know.
There are two powerful men in Guxuan City.
There are countless cities in Jianghe County, among which Ancient Xuan City is not considered strong. It can only be said to be at an average level, or even a little weak.
Even if every two cities only have one powerful person who knows the Qiao.
Counting it down, the number must have exceeded twenty.
The main purpose of Zhou Rui's trip this time was to gain experience. It wouldn't be a problem if he couldn't enter the five major martial arts houses.
There are so many super geniuses in the world, so many of them.
The Zhou family placed more expectations on Zhou Changkong.
"Master Changkong, I believe that you will definitely get a very good name in this Pingnan City Competition and enter the five major martial arts houses in one fell swoop!"
Li Xiao toasted Zhou Changkong with great enthusiasm.
There were many people who were also toasting, and everyone wanted to curry favor with Zhou Changkong at this most critical moment.
"Then thank you all for your love. Zhou will certainly live up to your expectations!"
Zhou Changkong laughed loudly. No one likes flattering, and no one doesn't like being flattered.
When Zhou Changkong heard these compliments, he felt extremely happy.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the audience.
"Miss Zhou Lanqing, didn't she come?"
The person who spoke was an ordinary member of the Zhou family, with a confused look on his face.
Others were also confused and couldn't help but look at the elders. Today was a banquet for the four geniuses who represented the Zhou family.
There are only two protagonists, which is somewhat strange.
It's just a simple question.
Zhou Lanqing is very talented and is a rare talented female cultivator. She is also the strongest woman in the younger generation of the Zhou family. Naturally, she has many admirers.
Many people would naturally be confused when they found out that Zhou Lanqing was not here.
However.
The moment they heard these words, the faces of the elders froze, and there was a hint of coldness in their eyes.
Zhou Lanqing is the daughter of Zhou Liming.
On the day of the competition, Zhou Liming blatantly sided with Zhou Xuan, trying to save Zhou Xuan even if he was injured.
This meant that Zhou Liming was on the opposite side of them.
Zhou Cangshan reminded Zhou Liming aloud that Zhou Xuan's era has long passed, and the current young patriarch of the Zhou family is Zhou Changkong.
only.
That bastard Zhou Liming didn't appreciate it, but acted very coldly.
The three elders thought of Zhou Liming and felt a little bad. If Zhou Liming hadn't interfered, maybe things wouldn't be so troublesome.
The killing of Zhou Xuan actually had to be delayed until after the Pingnan City Competition.
even so.
The expressions of the elders did not change much. Zhou Cangshan was drinking alone and his voice was very calm.
"Don't worry about them."
"The fifth elder said that before leaving, he would help Zhou Lanqing consolidate his cultivation one last time, hoping that he can perform better in the competition."
Zhou Cangshan's attitude was lukewarm, and he couldn't say how disgusted he was.
Zhou Cangshan's words were not random fabrications, but facts, but he knew very well that they were just Zhou Liming's excuse. Zhou Liming had made it clear that he wanted to support Zhou Xuan, and his attitude was very obvious these days.
certainly.
They didn't pay much attention to a guy who was just at the peak of his abilities.
Everyone felt keenly that Zhou Cangshan obviously didn't like Zhou Liming very much, and he didn't even like Zhou Lanqing.
Realized this.
Everyone fell silent and did not mention this matter.
Although these Zhou family disciples no longer spoke, the atmosphere had obviously changed.
When it comes to the Five Elders, one person cannot be avoided, that is, another protagonist who has never arrived today...
Recalling the day of the clan competition.
Many people still find it difficult to calm down, because the former waste actually stood up again.
Zhou Rui also thought of that person, his face was particularly ugly. He fought in front of his pride, but ended up losing miserably. He agreed to only use one hand, but in the end he had to defend with both hands. The key is that he didn't block it in the end.
He was knocked unconscious with just one move, and the injury is still aching.
Zhou Rui clenched his fists unconsciously and looked slightly cold. This was the most humiliating thing that Zhou Rui had ever encountered since he was born.
One day, I will definitely pay it back a hundredfold!
When Zhou Changkong thought of that figure, his face became a little cold.
He calmed down his emotions and smiled: "Drink."
Many Zhou family disciples nodded hurriedly, no longer thinking about these bad things.
But while the Zhou family's residence was brightly lit and there was a big dinner party, the Zhou family's courtyard just a little further away seemed very quiet.
The lights are dim and there is no sound at all.
A banquet held in the main courtyard naturally requires many servants.
All the servants of the Zayuan were called over, making the Zayuan quite deserted.
Zhou Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated, but didn't pay much attention. He was currently only focusing on his own cultivation, and nothing else mattered.
This person who represented the Zhou family did not even receive an invitation to the dinner.
Although Zhou Cangshan had to admit that Zhou Xuan's quota was valid, he still openly expressed his disgust and xenophobia towards Zhou Xuan.
Three days have passed, and it can be said that they have ignored it.
It seemed that even if Zhou Xuan recovered his cultivation, there would be no difference.
Perhaps this is indeed the case for Zhou Cangshan and others. So what if they recover their cultivation level? They will not be ants in just a few decades?
Even if you enter the Tongqiao again, can you still defeat the three major combined elixir realms?
It's not that Zhou Cangshan doesn't want to kill Zhou Xuan, but he doesn't take Zhou Xuan seriously.
After the competition in Pingnan City is over, you can crush him to death at will, so why should you care?
Zhou Xuan didn't care about this at all and would not go back even if he was invited. He knew that he and the three elders were incompatible, so there was no need to force it.
Zhou Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
"It's still too slow..."
