The three of us waited at the door for almost half an hour before we saw Miao Feng walking out angrily: "You two, let's go. Who cares about the Miao family's affairs? I don't care. !”
Miao Feng pointed at the Miao Family Courtyard and shouted: "My ancestor has been so famous all his life, why did he leave you such a bunch of stinky fools? There will be times when you will regret it!"
Miao Feng originally planned to leave Song Village, but before he reached the entrance of the village, he was stopped by an old man and dragged into a tavern not far from the Miao family compound.
The tavern was not big, but it looked clean and bright. The Ninth Prince waved his fan and walked around the room, nodding his head and saying, "This is a good restaurant. It is a place where people who really drink and know how to drink come to drink."
The old man smiled and cupped his hands: "Four of you, please take a seat. I'll close the door. I'll only entertain a few people in the small room today. I won't do other people's business."
"I'm so angry!" Miao Feng picked up the tea on the table and took a few sips: "Old Fifth Uncle, why haven't you left yet?"
"I'm not leaving!" Old Fifth Uncle closed the door of the tavern and said, "I've lived here all my life, and I'm alone. What can I hide from? At worst, even this old bone has nothing to do with this tavern. Turn into ashes!"
"Sit down, please, while I go get some snacks to go with the wine."
Uncle Lao Wu first served us a few side dishes to go with the wine, then put the wine on the table and went to work in the kitchen. Miao Feng took the wine jar and poured a bowl for each of the three of us: "I made you both laugh at what I did today, and I can't help you. I'll do it first out of respect."
Miao Feng finished the wine in one gulp and went to pour it, but was stopped by Ye Sanqi: "First of all, tell me, what is going on?"
"Don't mention it, it's just weird..." Miao Feng said: "My second uncle didn't know what evil happened to him, so he sold the Miao family compound. The people who bought the compound were the Ji family. To be honest, this place should be called Ji Family Courtyard."
I was stunned when I heard this: "Such a huge property was sold like this?"
At that time, selling one's ancestral property was considered a treasonous act. Ancestral property not only represents the legacy left by ancestors to future generations, but is also the last means of making a living. Once the ancestral property is sold, it means that the family has completely declined and will never be able to turn around again.
"It's not like they haven't been sold before!" Miao Feng said disapprovingly: "The descendants of the Miao family are hiding from the world, so someone has to look after the ancestral property, right? The best way is to make the ancestral property theirs first, so that they can do their best. Take care of it. When the Miao family returns, they will buy it back at ten times the price, which is also a way of thanking those who took care of the ancestral property."
When Miao Feng said this, I understood.
Miao Feng said: "However, this time before my grandfather left, he never said that he wanted to sell the compound. My second uncle made his own decisions and sold the compound. But he didn't know why he was so crazy. He said Nothing will let you enter the ancestor's grave to get the secret treasure."
"In the end, he was forced by me and told me that he wanted to cooperate with the Ji family to get the secret treasure. Isn't this a joke?"
"Although the Ji family is also a family of martial arts, they are not disciples of the Qi Sect. If they were helpful, my grandfather wouldn't have asked me to travel thousands of miles to invite you over."
"I really don't know what my second uncle is thinking about?"
Ye Sanqi smiled and said: "You don't know what he is thinking. Can't you find out just by listening? Little Ye Zi, how are you practicing your Earth Listening Technique?"
I shook my head and said, "Not yet! I can only hear if there is anyone nearby, but I can't hear what they say?"
Ye Sanqi said: "Just use the listening skills. Miao Feng, is that Miao Linglong your biological sister?"
"No!" Miao Feng shook his head and said, "I am the only son in the family, and Linglong is my second uncle's child."
"Blood relationship is enough!" Ye Sanqi grabbed Miao Feng's hand and pricked it, then put a drop of blood on my forehead.
As my body shook with the blood beads, not only did I hear the voices of Miao Linglong and that seventh uncle, I also repeated what they said exactly.
Uncle Qi said: "Second brother, I think we went too far today. Xiaofeng finally invited two masters, but we just turned them away. Not only did we offend the two masters, but we also lost our temper. The face of our Miao family!"
The second master of the Miao family said: "So what if we lose face? The Miao family has already retreated into seclusion. When we come out again, it will be decades later. At that time, who will remember what happened today?"
"That's right!" Miao Linglong also said: "The two people Brother Feng invited back don't look like experts? They walked around the village for a few times before they broke my formation. I think they are not as good as me!"
"Linglong, you are wrong to think so. Those two people are not only masters, but also one of the most difficult people to mess with in Qi Sect." Second Master Miao said, "Ye Sanqi and Ninth Prince both have more than ten years of experience." The young masters who became famous before are now more advanced in their cultivation. No one knows what extent their cultivation has reached? It is not an exaggeration to say that they are unfathomable."
"As for why they didn't break your formation as soon as they came up. That's because they followed the etiquette of Qimen. The descendants of Qimen test without any grudges, so they must leave people with a certain amount of face. They I've passed by the formation three times but turned a blind eye, I'm just trying to save face for you."
Mr. Miao sighed and said to himself: "Young masters from more than ten years ago! If they had established a sect, they would have become great masters by now, right?"
I haven't asked Ye Sanqi's specific age, but I estimate that he is in his thirties.
Nowadays, it would be a bit strange for a man in his thirties to treat a fifteen-year-old as his son. However, when I met Ye Sanqi, this was a normal thing.
At that time, people could get married as young as fifteen or sixteen, and there were many people who became grandfathers in their forties.
Miao Linglong exclaimed in shock: "They are so powerful, why do you keep them out?"
The second master of the Miao family said: "It's just because their cultivation level is too high that I can't use them. The things in the ancestor's grave are not trivial. If Ye Sanqi and the others have evil intentions, who among us can stop them?"
"Not only can I not use them, I also have to find a way to keep them away from the Miao family!"
Miao Linglong whispered: "But... aren't they the people invited by Brother Feng?"
"You know people but don't know their hearts!" Uncle Qi also said: "Second brother's approach is right, but I still didn't think about it. I will send someone to monitor Xiaofeng's movements. If I can't drive Ye Sanqi away at once, there will be more After being kicked out a few times, I still don’t believe that someone with the name of a master can be so thick-skinned.”
Miao Feng was so angry when he heard this that he almost flipped the table: "A bunch of idiots, I'm just..."
Ye Sanqi said slowly: "Would you like to hear what your wife has to say?"
