The next day, there was a knock on my door.
The person who came to see me was actually Yuan Songshu.
Among the entire Yuan clan in Runan, I knew him the earliest, but except for the intersection in Changbai Mountain and when I came to the Yuan clan, I had no follow-up with him.
He took the initiative to look for me, which surprised me.
"Little friend Chen Qi, I am really impressed by you after three days apart... I have heard about your deeds. Who would have thought that Huang Yong's disciples, who were forced to death by Chen Tianyan in Chenjiazhuang in Changbai Mountain, in just a few months , and have a record of being able to kill six-level people."
Yuan Songshu said to me with a smile.
"Senior Songshu, I have always wanted to see you since I entered the Yuan family. The help you gave me back then will never be forgotten by Chen Qi," I replied.
"Eh... Senior, I deserve it. I, Yuan Songshu, am afraid that I cannot be your opponent now." Yuan Songshu waved his hand and said.
Yuan Songshu's strength is at the seventh level. I estimate that his Qi should be above 500 strands, making him one of the strongest among the seventh level.
"Senior, regardless of strength." I replied.
"Okay, okay, let's go. Next, we will have time to reminisce about the past." Yuan Songshu said kindly.
I was slightly startled.
Then I said: "Do you also want to go to Langya Wang's Qi Lake with us?"
"Yes, you may not know that the fifth grade leader is my great-grandfather. I will take you to see my great-grandfather first."
Yuan Songshu replied to me, and then joked: "What's wrong? Do you dislike me for being such a sluggish person?"
"Where, if there are seniors going with us, the probability of success in this matter will be increased by a few percent." I replied immediately.
Yuan Songshu smiled and then took me to find Lu Mingdeng first. The three of us gathered outside Taiqing Palace in Luyi.
As the place where the fortune of the ancestral court of Taoism was stolen, the outside of the Taiqing Palace was still heavily guarded. Not long after, we waited for Yuan Zheng.
Yuan Zheng's seniority is not low, and he can be regarded as Yuan Songshu's grandfather, but at this moment, he is also standing in a row with us, welcoming the secret fifth grade of the Yuan family.
In front of the abdicated clan elder, Yuan Zheng can be considered a junior.
This fifth-grade abdicated clan elder is the same generation as Yuan Zhengfa, the elder clan leader of the Yuan clan in Runan...
We waited for a long time, and as the sun was about to set, an old man who looked like a mummy walked out of the Taiqing Palace.
If it weren't for the fact that this old man's eyes were as sharp as a falcon and his body was full of life, it would be an exaggeration to call him a zombie.
"Congratulations to Grandpa for his release from seclusion!"
When Yuan Songshu saw this mummified old man, he knelt down and saluted.
"Congratulations to Yuan Rusheng for coming out of the clan!"
Yuan Zheng also immediately bowed and saluted, his tone extremely respectful.
On the other hand, only Lu Mingdeng and I stood quietly without moving or speaking. We are not members of the Yuan family, so there is no need to perform this ceremony.
This is the trump card in Yuan Jing's hand, Yuan's secret fifth grade. Yuan Rusheng's steps were frivolous, but his movements were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he came in front of us.
Yuan Rusheng first glanced at his great-grandson, and then his eyes suddenly became cold and stern, and he scolded directly: "What a shame, you are almost sixty years old but you are only in the seventh rank? You haven't even touched the threshold of the sixth rank? You are not worthy of me. after!"
His scolding surprised me.
It seems that this old man's temper is not very good...
Of course, the most important thing is that this mummy-like old man seems to have extremely keen perception and can directly see Yuan Songshu's true identity.
Yuan Songshu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and buried his head even lower. He broke out in a cold sweat and said with trembling words: "My grandpa... I'm sorry... I'm sorry! My grandson's qualifications" Dumb."
"Shame on you, get up!"
Yuan Rusheng said coldly.
Only then did Yuan Songshu dare to get up.
Then, Yuan Rusheng looked at Yuan Zheng again, his expression became gentler, and he nodded and said: "I was very optimistic about you before I retreated. Your qualifications are considered to be above average. I, Yuan, am sorry for you. If in a hundred years Before, maybe you had already broken through to the fifth level."
"To be born in the Yuan family and grow up in the Yuan family, Yuan Zheng has been lucky enough for three lifetimes! He dare not ask for anything more!"
Yuan Zheng, an old man who is more than a hundred years old, is like a child in front of Yuan Rusheng.
"The clan leader told me about the specific actions this time. I will do my best to avenge the death of the two sixth-level members of my clan, and I will definitely let you break through to the fifth-level. Don't worry, this is my promise, Yuan Rusheng. .”
Yuan Rusheng said in a sonorous tone.
"Thank you clan elder!" Yuan Zheng thanked him.
Then, Yuan Rusheng looked at Lu Mingdeng and said, "Are you the Tai Sui boy?"
Lu Mingdeng nodded, still indifferent, even more indifferent than Yuan Rusheng.
Yuan Rusheng didn't care, but smiled.
Then, his tone towards Lu Mingdeng was a bit gentler than that of Yuan Zheng, and he said: "I like your character very much, and your talent is not as simple as it seems. If you are willing, my Runan Yuan family's The door is always open for you!”
"No."
Lu Mingdeng said without thinking.
Yuan Rusheng didn't reply, he still just smiled.
Finally, he looked at me.
But a few seconds later, Yuan Rusheng's expression suddenly froze, and he looked at me intently.
He stared at me for a long time, half an hour!
"Our clan is going through a drastic change in a century... This noble clan, and even the world, may have to go through a drastic change in a thousand years..."
Yuan Rusheng finally spoke, "In troubled times, heroes emerge, and dramatic changes give rise to ghosts and gods. Are you a ghost or a god?"
"I don't understand what senior is saying."
I looked at him calmly and said.
"It stands to reason that we old guys will not come out until the noble clan is threatened with destruction. Even if there is an order from the clan leader, we have the right to refuse, but this time, we have to come out..."
Yuan Rusheng once again said to himself: "The foundation of our clan has been stolen. This matter is too big. It has a greater impact than the United Gentlemen clan, even... ten times more!"
When his last words fell, my heart trembled!
In the realm of the fifth rank, there are strong and weak ones. I originally thought that it was extraordinary that the Runan Yuan family had a fifth rank, but I guessed that he should be considered a weak fifth rank.
But now, I realize I was wrong.
Even if the Yuan Rusheng in front of me has not reached the level of Yuan Jing, he is definitely not much different!
There is so much energy in his body!
It’s not just Yuan Rusheng who is observing me, I am also observing Yuan Rusheng...
But at this moment, what makes me tremble is not only his strength, but also his words.
Why did Yuan Rusheng mention the fortune of the Taoist ancestral court? Or did he say it in front of me? Was he saying it casually, or was he hinting at something?
Could this mummy-like fifth-grade clan elder have better eyesight than Yuan Jing? Did you spot my clue directly? Did you know my secret?
