The next day, the entire Qin Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and was packed with guests.
There are many magpies chirping on the branches in the courtyard.
Fairview rolls incense, rushing to string, singing and dancing, love the world.
The "Bixiao Garden" where the eldest lady belongs is even more joyful. The red character "Shou" is plastered everywhere, giving it a New Year's Eve atmosphere.
Various exquisite lanterns are hung on the tree. The cobblestone paths were covered with a welcoming scarlet carpet.
The main hall of the ¡®Bixiao Garden¡¯ is where the lady entertains guests and friends. At this moment, it is even more colorful and magnificent. From a distance, you can hear the laughter and laughter coming from the hall. It's really a raging fire cooking oil, and it's very lively.
It¡¯s noon. Qin Yan was dressed in new clothes by two personal maids, Shiyun and Dieyi.
"Both these two maids are fair and tender, with pink and jade-like figures. They are full of intelligence and are about the same age as Qin Yan. In their eyes, Master Yan, the young master, always treats them kindly and has no airs of bossiness. Therefore, they serve Qin Yan with great attentiveness and considerateness.
"Master, Bixiao Garden is so lively. Many guests are here. Guests from our other wealthy families in Blue Sky City, the 'Luo Family', the 'Zeng Family', the 'Xu Family' the eldest lady's natal family, and the 'Ling Family' are also here. Quite a fewthe banquet is about to start, young master, please hurry over"
The maid Shiyun said crisply, paused for a moment, and her eyes were pitiful, "But, young master, a few days ago, I heard from people in the mansion that at Madam's banquet, it seemed like a guest from the Ling family. willwill take the opportunity to make things difficult for the young masterYoung master, you must not be like them, don't be angry, it will harm your body, it is not worth it"
"Hey Don't worry, Master, I won't be angry" Qin Yan smiled slightly, turned around and walked out.
The sun was shining brightly, Qin Yan was walking quickly, and his energy and spirit were in excellent condition. At this time, the inner Qi in his whole body was glued to the meridians, muscles and bones of the whole body and twisted together, and had not sunk into the Dantian. Therefore, it was impossible for ordinary people to see any clues from Qin Yan and not see through his inner Qi. Cultivation realm.
Not long after, Qin Yan came to Bixiao Garden, the large courtyard in front of the main hall.
Suddenly, Qin Yan stopped. I saw a large group of young boys and girls in their prime on the left, talking and laughing happily, walking over together.
Qin Yan looked up calmly and saw that it was Qin Feng, Qin Shuang, Qin Lei, Qin Yu, as well as several pairs of adopted sons and daughters under the eldest lady's knees.
In addition, this group of people was also surrounded by two guests, a man and a woman.
This man and woman are both young, but they have a long aura and a bright light in their eyes. It is obvious at a glance that they are young talents in martial arts.
One is a man wearing a purple and gold robe. He is about the same age as Qin Feng. He has a handsome appearance and delicate eyebrows. His facial features are as carved with fine brushwork and his lips are very thin, giving people an impression of being cold and conceited. The bridge of his nose is slightly high and the sky is plump. . Especially his two temples were surrounded by light golden blood. There was a natural arrogance in his eyes, as if he were a wealthy man from a big city who came to a small, remote place in the countryside.
Next to this young man is a girl of fifteen or six years old, with almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks, aura in her eyes, and a light and soft body. She is a rare beauty. It's a pity that her temperament is very sharp, it can be said that she is sharp, and her whole person is like a precious blade that blows and breaks hair. Her gaze sweeps across, giving people a suffocating feeling as if their throat is about to be cut.
¡®Is it her? Ling Yingxue? Nothing wrong! It's Ling Yingxue' At this moment, Qin Yan recognized the girl, and a vague memory came up
This girl¡¯s name is Ling Yingxue, and she is a younger generation disciple of the Ling family. When I was young, I also came to Qin's house to play. In terms of seniority, Ling Yingxue wanted to call the eldest lady ¡®aunt¡¯.
Back then, the Ling family originally wanted to betroth Ling Yingxue to Qin Yan as his wife. It is probably believed that Qin Yan is the only son of Qin Tianpeng, and he can be used softly to win over him. But later, because Qin Yan had no talent in martial arts and was too mediocre, the marriage was dropped, and there was no follow-up to it.
By now, Qin Yan¡¯s memory of Ling Yingxue is very shallow. He only vaguely remembers that she was a careless playmate when he was a child
Qin Yan had no intention of paying attention to this group of people and was about to enter the hall.
At this time
"Qin Yan!" Qin Lei, the third son of the eldest lady, shouted Then, a group of people rushed up.
"Qin Yan, you really need a tutor," Qin Lei winked at Qin Yan with a mocking look on his face, "The Ling family??Dignified guests have come from afar, but as the host and the son of the head of the family, you actually hide and don't come out to greet the guests I don't know what my second uncle taught you. If people don't understand etiquette, what's the difference between them and animals? Hahahahaha¡¡±
A group of people jumped up and down laughing.
Only Qin Feng still maintained that aloof expression. He remained calm and looked at Qin Yan calmly, as if he was looking at some insignificant person. The young man in purple and gold robes standing side by side with Ling Yingxue couldn't even look at it. Without looking at Qin Yan, she turned her head away; Ling Yingxue seemed to recognize Qin Yan. She saw that Qin Yan still seemed to be at a lower level of inner energy, and her eyes showed disappointment and pity. .
At this time, Qin Yan was much calmer and more restrained than a month ago, and he had developed some skills. Faced with the ridicule, Qin Yan looked very indifferent and didn't say much. He just buries the strong murderous intention in his heart quietly. Once his strength reaches a sufficient level, it will inevitably lead to bloodshed
At this time, Qin Lei said to a twelve or three-year-old boy next to him, "Qin Hu, you are two years younger than Qin Yan, but last month you successfully promoted to the third level of the inner Qi realm Qin Hu, Now you can show Master Qin Yan the atmosphere of the third level of Inner Qi Realm Hahahaha It is impossible for Young Master Qin Yan to cultivate to the third level of Inner Qi Realm in this life. We should pity him and occasionally show his cultivation in front of him, so that He opened his eyes comforted his weak heart Hahahaha"
That Qin Hu is the adopted son of the eldest lady from Lingxiao City a few years ago. Although he is young, he is very energetic and has great talent in martial arts.
"Brother Lei, I don't think there is anything to show. There is no need. The understanding and cultivation of inner energy is talent. Those who can understand it are geniuses, and those who cannot understand it are trash! It will be useless in this life!" Qin Hu looked at it Qin Yan said in a strange tone.
¡°Hahahahaha~~~~~~¡±
The whole room burst into laughter.
"Okay, stop teasing Young Master Qin Yan. Everyone has dignity. If you continue to stimulate Young Master Qin Yan, maybe he will vomit blood and fall into coma on the spot" Qin Yuyin said with a smile.
"Let's go in, the banquet is about to begin." Qin Shuang said impatiently. "He's just a martial arts wasteit's pointless to ridicule such a person."
With that said, a group of people filed into the hall in a swaggering manner.
Qin Yan stood still, facing the barrage of ridicule, and did not retort at all because there is no use in showing off one's words. On the contrary, he became more and more neither humble nor arrogant. After all, he had an adventure, his strength was not what it used to be, and the potential of the demon warrior was far beyond that of ordinary people, which made Qin Yan naturally confident and in a calm mood'It won't take long, I will definitely be able to Completely surpass these clowns. Of course, including Qin Feng and Qin Shuang'
"Qin Yan, I haven't seen you for many years" Ling Yingxue did not walk into the hall immediately. Instead, she stood there. She was beautiful and graceful, with a graceful and explosive figure. She stared at Qin Yan with a sense of pity in her eyes and a gentle voice. road.
"Oh?" Qin Yan smiled. "Ling Yingxue, I didn't expect you to still remember me."
"Yeah" Ling Yingxue's face showed an expression of recollection, her eyes were like smoke, and then she shook her head slightly. "But memories will always fade. Some people and things will eventually fade away over the years. Qin Yan, although your martial arts talent is not good, as long as you don't go astray and can endure things when you encounter them, accept them and do well. Be an ordinary person, don't fight, know how to make choices This is not a happy thing, the mayfly shaking the tree is the stupidest thing"
Ling Yingxue¡¯s pun was obviously a hint to Qin Yan that under the power of the eldest lady¡¯s lineage, he should be subdued and not try to compete.
Hearing this, Qin Yan laughed angrily, his tone also very light. "Ling Yingxue, the fate of life is like a dream. No one can tell clearly. Thirty years in the east of Hedong, thirty years in the west of Hexi. The fate of the future is unknown."
"Hey~~~~~~" Hearing Qin Yan's almost sarcastic words, Ling Yingxue sighed with pity, "The current situationthat's all, Qin Yan, you can take care of yourself." After saying that, she turned around and walked straight into the hall.
Immediately, Qin Yan also entered the hall.
The main hall of Bixiaoyuan!
At this time, the hall was full of guests and friends, there was a lot of music and music, there were more than a dozen banquets, and there was endless conversation and laughter. It was so lively
The eldest lady was dressed in a bright red robe and was sitting at the head of the main hall. The rosewood table was filled with congratulatory gifts, and the jewels were shining brightly.
?????????????????????????????????: The eldest lady¡¯s flawless face is full of joy, her eyes are twinkling, commanding and looking forward.
??The maids and servants had prepared appropriate gifts for Qin Yan and delivered them to Bixiaoyuan the day before. At this time, Qin Yan only had to step forward and say a few words to the eldest lady.Congratulations, a salute, and then you can take your seat.
However, Qin Yan just glanced at the eldest lady lightly and seemed to have no intention of coming forward to congratulate her.
You know, the eldest lady paid for the murder of Qin Yan. If Qin Yan didn't get an unexpected encounter by chance, the bones would have been cold by now Qin Yan and the eldest lady were already in a fight to the death!
As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. Qin Yan wants to cut him into eight pieces, dig up his grave and whip the corpse At this time, he doesn't immediately get angry and rushes to kill the eldest lady. After drinking and fighting, Qin Yan has reached the limit of his tolerance. How can you congratulate and salute your sworn enemies?
At this time, the eldest lady also turned her eyes to Qin Yan. Suddenly, her smiling eyes became piercingly cold, covered with a layer of hostility, and her murderous intention was hidden and restrained. Stayed¡
The eldest lady's disgust and murderous intent were conveyed to Qin Yan's soul, but he remained unmoved. Now, Qin Yan has merged with part of the demon bloodline, and his temperament is completely different, with a taste that cannot be blasphemed. Qin Yan sneered, walked straight to the seat where his father Qin Tianpeng was, and sat down.
¡°Humph~~~¡± The eldest lady snorted coldly and turned her eyes away.
At this time, many eyes in the hall were directed at Qin Yan
"There was disdain, gloating, pity, disgust, contempt, and even some exerting mental pressure on Qin Yanall of them were ignored by Qin Yan.
"Yan'er, you're here" Qin Tianpeng whispered. As he spoke, he couldn't help but look to the east side of the hall, feeling very anxious. "Today, there are a lot of guests from the Ling family"
Qin Yan took advantage of the situation and looked over
On the east side of the hall, two pear-wood Eight Immortals tables were set up, and a dozen or so young men and women with impressive figures were sitting around them. Among them, Ling Yingxue and the man wearing purple and gold robes stood out. Obviously, these two tables are from the younger generation of the Ling family. They all sat calmly and calmly, with great style, as if they were princes and ministers sitting in the Golden Palace, with majestic bearings, showing their unfathomable martial arts cultivation and talents There was a sense of nobility in their eyes. It seems that everyone is inherently despicable in their eyes
Qin Yan turned his eyes and saw a table of old people. All of them were covered in body, with not even a single age spot on their skin. They were as crystal clear as jade, as shiny as a baby, and reflected a strange brilliance. Streams of air circulated on the surface of their bodies like precious lights. His eyes were like the scorching sun, making people afraid to look directly into them. The inner energy cultivation of these old men is simply unbelievably deep and full. These are old antiques from the Qin and Ling families. They usually practice in seclusion and will not show up easily until important moments
In addition, some prominent figures from other wealthy families in Blue Sky City also came over, as well as many talents from the younger generation.
The scene was very solemn, and everyone present was very respectful and important.
However, the Lord of Blue Sky City¡¯s mansion did not send anyone to congratulate him; the Lord of Lingxiao City did not come either.
Sitting at the same table as Qin Yan and his son were Qin Tianpeng's closest confidants, Qin Yan's uncles, and several guests supported by Qin Tianpeng.
"The eldest lady is indeed trying to get both sides. She invited so many people over" Qin Yan laughed coldly in his heart. If it were him before, facing such a battle, he would have been frightened and uneasy, and his eyes would not dare to wander around. Sweeping, I didn't even dare to take a breath But now I am calm and fearless, and my mental state is very relaxed and comfortable. Qin Yan also understood that among the dozen or so guests, the ones with the strongest martial arts cultivation were those at the tenth level of the Inner Qi Realm, and there were no super masters of the Explosive Qi Realm. The Explosive Qi Realm is like a dragon dormant and will not show up easily. The eldest lady does not have the face to invite a strong Explosive Qi Realm.
"As long as you don't face the explosive state, everything can be dealt with" Qin Yan calmed down.
Soon, the banquet began.
The sound of silk and bamboo suddenly rose, and a troupe of kabuki actors entered the hall singing and dancing. Many delicacies, including delicacies from the mountains and seas, were served on the table at reasonable prices.
After three rounds of drinking, an old man from the Qin family spoke loudly, "Lingxiao City is a big city with a population of tens of millions. From the perspective of a small place like our Blue Sky City, the rich and prosperous place can only be found in front of a big river. The mountains stand tall This time, Lingxiao City, the home of the city lord, and the distinguished guests of the Ling family, come to our Qin family, which really makes our Qin family shine"
"Hahahaha" An old man in brocade clothes from the Ling family laughed loudly, "I'm too modest. Elders of the Qin family, you are too outsider. The Ling and Qin families already have a close relationship. I, the current head of the Ling family, am also the leader of Lingxiao City. The eldest daughter is the daughter-in-law of the Qin family It can be said that the Ling family and the Qin family are in-laws! Nowadays, the land is in chaos, the heroes are divided, and the sky is at war. We, the Ling and Qin families, should be united" He paused. After a pause, the old man in rich clothes from the Ling family turned his eyes, glanced at the seats where Qin Tianpeng was sitting at the corner of his eye, and said slowly,"Everyone, martial arts are prosperous on the earth, and wealthy families like us have established their families with martial arts To put it bluntly, if a wealthy family wants to maintain prosperity for a long time, it does not depend on who has a wide network of contacts, but who has a strong fist Who has the strength, who Just gain fame, wealth, power, status Under the control of tyrannical power, everything is at your fingertips Well, I think there are many young talents from the major wealthy families in Blue Sky City. Taking this opportunity, let the younger generation compete with each other. I don¡¯t know what everyone thinks?¡±
Martial arts are extremely popular in the land, and almost all wealthy families will deliberately arrange for the younger members of the family to compete with each other every time they get together to see which family and which lineage of disciples are better, and the parents will also have glory in face. The brilliance will also increase the weight in the family
As soon as this statement came out, the hall immediately responded, and the younger generation was even more eager.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are also some exquisite people who look at the seats of Qin Tianpeng's lineage, with expressions of gloating and fearing that the world will not be chaotic. Many people have guessed that this time the people from the eldest wife¡¯s family came to the Qin family¡¯s residence, I am afraid that the drunkard¡¯s intention is not to drink
Most likely he wants to take the opportunity to attack Qin Tianpeng¡¯s lineage
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? severely humiliate Qin Tianpeng¡¯s lineage in front of the elderly Qin family, and establish prestige for the eldest lady¡¯s lineage
In Blue Sky City, the wealthy Qin family, the overt and covert struggle between the family head and the eldest lady¡¯s line has long become an open secret
At this time, Qin Tianpeng¡¯s brows were deeply furrowed
¡®The show planned by the eldest lady is finally about to begin¡¯ Qin Yan put down the bowl and chopsticks.
At this time, the old man in brocade clothes from the Ling family showed a sinister expression through the gap between his eyelids. He looked at Qin Tianpeng with a fixed gaze and said with a half-smile. "Master Qin, you have managed the Qin family in such a prosperous way over the past few years. We all really admire Master Qin's talents As the saying goes, a tiger father has no son. Presumably, the young master of the Qin family must also be a genius with extraordinary talents. In this way, this time I will let a few incompetent children from my Ling family ask the young master of the Qin family for some martial arts tips Hahaha It is harmless for the younger generation to compete with each other"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other guests from the wealthy and aristocratic families in Blue Sky City who were present all suppressed their laughter and looked at Qin Tianpeng with strange expressions
Some people even teased in a low voice, "A genius with extraordinary talent? Hey A genius with a second level of Qi realm in martial arts is indeed an anomaly"
??????????????????????????????????? The eldest lady is even more excited at this moment, and all of them have beaming expressions.
The eldest lady took a sip of tea and said slowly, "The rise and fall of a wealthy family can be seen from the disciples in the family. If you don't practice martial arts and your body is weak, then the whole family will show signs of decline Yan'er has the important task of revitalizing the Qin family, and we all hope that he can grow up quickly Tianpeng, I don't know if Yan'er has made any progress in martial arts recently Let him come out and give it a try"
Qin Tianpeng's face suddenly turned red and he was very angry. He shook his hand and said, "There is no need to compete. Yan'er has been ill recently"
"Tianpeng please stop pushing the envelope" At this time, an old man from the Qin family laughed sinisterly, "It is reasonable for the younger generation to fight and learn from each other What do you mean by pushing back and forth? "
"Third uncle, you!" Qin Tianpeng was furious. The old man of the Qin family who spoke has always been on good terms with the eldest lady, and has even made it clear that he supports the eldest lady. He clearly knew that Qin Yan's talent in martial arts was very poor, but at this juncture, he came out to instigate and instigate. This was because he wanted to help the eldest lady and slap Qin Tianpeng in front of her!
"Why, Tianpeng, are you still so angry?" The old man of the Qin family suddenly said in a stern voice, "I think you don't dare to let Yan'er compete! Over the years, the family has also carefully cultivated Yan'er and has never treated him badly. However, , He is really disappointing! Now the whole Blue Sky City is watching the joke of our Qin family! The son of the family head, the future heir of the Qin family, is actually such a bad person! If you don't know how to teach your children, you have a responsibility! As the head of the family, what is most important is the success of his children and his successors! If the Qin family relies on Yan'er to take the helm, it will decline sooner or later!
This barrage of attacks made Qin Tianpeng's three corpses jump violently, and his whole body was burned. He almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, but he couldn't find a word to refute
At this moment, Qin Yan stood up first and said calmly, "Okay, I, Qin Yan, will compete with the younger generation of the Ling family as you wish"
This sentence clearly fell on the ears of everyone present
