"Um?"
Mu Qing looked at the person who spoke, and found that the person who spoke was actually the middle-aged man who had named the two of them just now. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
The dispute was intentionally provoked by the other party, so why did he change his mind so easily when things came to a head?
Mu Qing did not think that his identity played a role, and said cautiously: "Thank you for your understanding, senior, but I don't know if he has any other conditions?"
Zhu Yushan said softly "Huh" and ignored the boy who misunderstood him. He walked to Zhu Hongyan and Ye Yun, and the cold lines on his face softened slightly: "Hongyan, you two are not suitable for sword competition."
Zhu Hongyan turned his head and looked at his father, puzzled: "Didn't my father say that if I want to improve my swordsmanship now, I have to practice with others a lot? I can feel that Miss Ying is a very powerful swordsman."
Zhu Yushan looked at his daughter who was asking for advice seriously and felt quite a headache. He turned to look at Ye Yun and said with a smile: "Xiao Yun has been practicing in the mainland these years, so she should take your mother's surname Ye, right?"
Ye Yun was stunned when she heard the sound of "Xiao Yun".
Mu Qing saw that Ye Yun obviously did not recognize the man who was smiling, and stood beside Ye Yun calmly, "I don't know your senior's name. Have you met Yun'er before?"
Zhu Yushan frowned and looked at Mu Qing rather unhappily. He seemed to understand some of Ying Que's feelings and snorted coldly: "I'm Uncle Xiaoyun, what's your expression?"
Mu Qing's face was stunned, and he quickly looked at the people around him, and found that Ye Yun was also surprised, obviously not knowing that he had an uncle.
On the side, Zhu Hongyan, who had not cared about anything before, couldn't help but become curious: "Father, how can you be...Miss Ye's uncle?" "
"Hey..." Zhu Yushan sighed softly and turned to look into the depths of the garden. "At that time, we were not like you young people who only played within their own sphere of influence. Traveling around the world meant traveling around the world. I originally wanted to see the east side. When I was in the country of Ye, I met a pair of knights who traveled together, and they became sworn brothers and sisters after they got along well."
Mu Qing's heart moved inexplicably, and he connected some stories together in his mind, and couldn't help but ask: "Senior, do you only sworn brother-sister relationships with the women among them?"
Zhu Yushan frowned, realizing that this kid was really annoying, and said, "Ye Lan is still my sister, Zhu Yushan. I don't remember the other people."
Mu Qing nodded silently, looked around, and saw the figure of Ying Que who had never appeared. He vaguely guessed why Zhu Yushan came here, and his tone became more enthusiastic: "Junior Mu Qing, I have met Uncle Yushan."
"?!"
When Zhu Yushan saw Mu Qing taking the initiative to climb up to his relative, his eyes widened, and the cold lines on his face collapsed, and he said angrily: "What kind of relative do you think you can recognize?"
Mu Qing showed a sincere smile, "This junior came to Sanxian Island this time not for the Alliance Conference, but for two things."
"The first is to meet my uncle and aunt. The second is..."
Mu Qing's voice paused slightly, and his tone became more solemn, "Secondly, I want to marry Yun'er, so I came here to propose marriage to my uncle and aunt."
When Mu Qing mentioned the marriage proposal in front of so many people present, the people on Yingzhou Island reacted extremely fiercely. They initially regarded Mu Qing as "one of their own" for the time being, but now they are even more accommodating than the uninvited guests like the Zhu family. An annoying "shameless enemy".
Ye Yun didn't expect that Mu Qing would tell this matter so quickly, and felt a little ashamed. She was about to stay away from this guy, but Mu Qing came to her side and held her hand.
Zhu Yushan looked at Mu Qing's blatant behavior and took a high look at this guy. He had an idea in his mind and said coldly with a sullen face: "Xiao Yun's mother is not awake yet. If you want to marry Yun'er, you have to get me." Only with recognition.”
Mu Qing thought this was natural, and was about to nod when he caught the deep meaning on Zhu Yushan's face and paused, "I wonder how I can get the approval of Senior Yushan?"
Zhu Yushan narrowed his eyes at Mu Qing and said, "It's very simple. You will officially compete with Hongyan tomorrow. If you beat Hongyan, I will pass this level."
Mu Qing turned his eyes slightly when he heard this, and just met the eyes looking at him. Zhu Hongyan's eyes were extremely clean and pure, matching his
After their eyes met, she nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with her father's statement.
Mu Qing smiled helplessly and said, "Although I don't know the rules of tomorrow's competition yet, I can only ask Miss Hongyan to be merciful tomorrow."
"You?" After hearing that Mu Qing had agreed, Ying Qing, who had been trying to persuade Ye Yun before, looked at Mu Qing in surprise. After thinking about it, he reminded her: "Everyone has heard about your story in Beihuang. , but tomorrow’s competition will be based on one’s own realm and means, and cannot rely on external forces.”
"Oh? Is there any other explanation?" Mu Qing actually only wanted to face Lin Xiu from the Lin family tomorrow. When he saw Ying Qing taking the initiative to mention tomorrow's competition, he asked carefully.
Soon, as everyone introduced each other one by one, Mu Qing, who had just arrived in Mishima, also knew the specific rules of the so-called "Ten People's Battle" tomorrow.
There is a very special space treasure map in the Black God Society - the Mingshen Map. Inside is a huge space with stable laws, similar to the special existence of a small world.
At that time, all participating forces can send their young disciples to enter the Mingshen Diagram to participate in the competition.
The rules of the competition are also very clear. The disciples who participate in the competition will get an identity card. Through the identity card, they can sense the crystal stones placed in the small world in advance. When the time expires, the top ten participating disciples who have collected the largest number of crystal stones will win. They will automatically enter the next round of competition and be transported to the top of Mount Jiewang for a one-on-one battle.
In fact, the competition on Jiewang Mountain is what everyone talks about as the "Ten-Man Battle", and the rules on the top of the mountain are also very interesting. In order not to hurt the feelings of all parties, the principle of voluntariness is followed.
In the first round, everyone can find their own opponents. The winner will get all the crystals collected by the opponent. After becoming the top five, the person with the most crystals in the first round can rest for one round. In the third and third rounds, The person with the most two-wheeled crystals will be ranked first.
Mu Qing understood the rules of the competition, and his heart moved slightly. He looked at Ying Qing and asked, "Is the competition in Mingshentu a preparation for entering the secret realm of Mingquan?"
"The Ming Shen Tu competition was specially prepared by the elders of the Shen Guild for guests like you. The purpose is to let you experience the process of searching for Xuan Jing in the Ming Quan Secret Realm." Ying Qing said this matter rather unconcernedly, "But The highlight is still the battle of ten people. The Elder Council controls the Mingshen Diagram at all times. We will never be fatally injured in the Mingshen Space, but it is different in the Mingquan Secret Realm. Even if we hold the Xuanyu Card in our hands, It’s just one more chance to escape.”
When Ying Qing said this, his expression became extremely serious. He looked at Mu Qing and several of his peers from the Zhu family, and sighed: "When you enter the Mingquan secret realm, remember not to take any chances. If you encounter the aura of Huangquan, you will basically be killed. There is no chance of survival."
Mu Qing silently nodded and took notes, looking at Zhu Hongyan apologetically, "Sorry, I may not ask Miss Hongyan to be my opponent then, we can find a time later."
Zhu Hongyan didn't have much reaction to this. Zhu Ling looked at Mu Qing with a smile, "What? Mr. Mu Qing, who fought against the Gu family in Beihuang before, is also afraid of our sister Hongyan?"
"Uh..." Mu Qing hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "I have some issues with the Lin family in Xishan. If there is a chance, I will have a fight with Lin Xiu."
When the two brothers Zhu Hao and Zhu Ling heard what Mu Qing said, their eyes lit up and their expressions became very warm.
Zhu Hao looked at Mu Qing, feeling as if he had met them late, "I didn't expect you to be unhappy with them too."
Zhu Ling raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhu Manyu. Seeing that Zhu Manyu had no reaction, he finally said what he had been blocked before, "If you want to compete with Lin Xiu, you might as well save some effort."
Mu Qing looked at Zhu Ling strangely and saw the girl, who was not much older than Shaoyao, raising her little face with pride. Her heart moved and she looked at Zhu Hongyan, "Is it possible that Miss Hongyan has already competed with Lin Xiu?"
Zhu Hongyan said calmly: "It's just an ordinary sparring match. He still has many methods that are useless."
Zhu Ling on the side couldn't help but said: "Although it is just a point-and-click sparring, Master said that if Sister Hongyan can win a sword when sparring with others, she can send the sword into the opponent with all her strength. heart."
"Ling'er?" Zhu Manyu squinted her beautiful eyes and wished
Ling shrank his neck and immediately shut up.
Mu Qing has long understood that the world is very big, and even among his peers there are people who are not weaker than him. After hearing this, he already regarded Zhu Hongyan as such a person, and said with a smile: "In this case, I should be more self-aware. , first defeat Lin Xiu and then talk about it."
Although it was not clear why Mu Qing wanted to hold on to Lin Xiu, it was already very appealing to the young people of the Zhu family. Without waiting for anything else, the two Zhu Hao brothers took the initiative to clean up the road outside the garden.
Ying Qing and other people on Yingzhou Island felt relieved when they saw that the uninvited guests had turned into polite guests. Naturally, they would no longer deliberately provoke them, and the two sides got to know each other harmoniously.
This situation made Ye Yun and Zhu Hongyan a little uncomfortable with the two girls, who were supposed to draw swords to each other, so much so that Mu Qing had to ease their relationship with each other.
"Senior, this junior is very curious about how you met Aunt Ye Lan in the first place, can you tell me a little bit?"
"inconvenient."
"..."
"Then senior should know Uncle Ying Que, right?"
"do not know."
"Uh..." Mu Qing and Zhu Yushan stared at each other, obviously not expecting the topic to be discussed together. Zhu Manyu on the side couldn't stand the two of them, so she took the initiative to find a topic and asked: "Mr. Mu Qing, that You Yan The formation should still be functioning normally, right?"
"!"
As soon as Zhu Manyu's words came out, Mu Qing's expression was obviously stunned. He remembered the stone tablet he and Murong Jing found in the center of the formation and the exercises recorded on the stone tablet. An idea flashed in his mind, "Could it be from the underground of Suzaku City?" The hand of wishing the family?"
Ye Yun and Zhu Hongyan on the side were both attracted by this topic.
Zhu Manyu smiled and said: "To be more precise, it should be a branch of the Zhu family that lived in Tiannan. It was they who built the Youyan Formation to suppress the underground fire veins, and that's how the Suzaku City came into being."
Mu Qing looked solemn and said seriously: "We found a stone tablet in the formation. It does record a period of history. It was a group of people who generously shared the technique of setting fire and surveying, so that the ancestors could rest and recuperate. A stable place to live, all of which is indeed hard-won.”
Zhu Yushan asked at this time: "Then you should also have obtained the fire-fixing technique from that stone tablet, right?"
Zhu Yushan looked at Mu Qing thoughtfully.
Mu Qing's expression remained unchanged, but he was murmuring in his heart. Although he had a good relationship with the Zhu family now, if they knew that what they got from the stone tablet was a complete technique, it might cause unnecessary trouble. After all, The longer such a powerful force in cultivation has existed, the more it cares that the core techniques of the inheritance are not learned by outsiders.
But looking at Zhu Yushan's expression, Mu Qing couldn't directly deny the matter, so he simply nodded with a hint of regret and said: "I accidentally put blood on the stone tablet, and heard a vague groan. I chanted the sound and learned the art of calming the fire, but unfortunately I couldn’t hear clearly what was behind it.”
Zhu Manyu showed an unexpected smile, shook her head and said: "Young master should have guessed that what is recorded in the stone tablet is the inheritance of my Zhu family in Huozhou. In fact, the method you tried at the beginning was not wrong, but it is not possible if it is not the blood of my Zhu family. Get the inherited method."
Mu Qing thought, this beautiful woman has never seen the stone tablet, but she seems to know it very well. If they know that Murong Jing can hear the voice in the stone tablet, they might even think that Murong Jing is a member of their Zhu family... …
!
As soon as such a thought flashed through Mu Qing's mind, he was shocked the next moment. A ridiculous idea suddenly appeared, and then it became like a weed that could not be suppressed no matter how hard it was.
Mu Qing turned to look at Ye Yun and found that Ye Yun was also looking at him with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She and Murong Jing were sisters and had known each other's practice skills for a long time. Zhu Manyu's words clearly made her Ye Yun also had doubts.
"What happen to you guys?"
Zhu Manyu looked at the pair of young people in front of her with venomous eyes, and she clearly noticed Mu Qing's emotional distress at a certain moment.
"..."
Mu Qing suppressed the questions in his mind and looked at Zhu Manyu in front of him. He couldn't help but become curious about the relationship between Zhu Manyu and Zhu Yushan. "Senior and Yu
Is Senior Shan a Taoist monk? "
"Presumptuous!" Zhu Yushan's eyes widened, he didn't expect Mu Qing to be so presumptuous.
Zhu Manyu was also stunned, and her high-minded and scrutinizing mood was instantly shattered. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, shook her head and said with a smile, "I am Hongyan's aunt."
"It's the junior who offended me. Please forgive me, senior." Mu Qing was very embarrassed and quickly apologized to Zhu Manyu.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Hongyan on the side took the initiative and said at this moment: "My mother passed away many years ago, and my aunt raised me. She is my mother."
"Um?"
Mu Qing looked at Zhu Hongyan without knowing why.
Unexpectedly, this genius swordsman actually nodded and smiled at him for the first time.
"Red Rock!"
Zhu Yushan called his daughter helplessly and decided not to stay any longer. He took out an exquisite storage bag and handed it to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun shook her head and did not reach out to take it.
Zhu Yushan threw the storage bag to Mu Qing, and when he turned to leave, he said to Ye Yun: "In it are some flower seeds unique to Huozhou, as well as strange things that are not valuable in the local area. This is what I promised to bring with me next time." This is a gift for your mother, remember to put it next to her when you see it."
Mu Qing hurriedly said: "Junior has taken note of it, senior please rest assured!"
"Hmph! Brat."
Zhu Yushan snorted coldly and led everyone in the Zhu family towards the teleportation array.
