Chapter 4 Just Friends 04
byThe words that Xiao Zhiyu murmured made all the disciples present focus on the Wannian chalcedony, but Xiao Zhiyu himself cared more about the piece of warm jade.
If there was no reason, he would not mention a piece of ordinary warm jade with a treasure like Wannian chalcedony.After all, according to common sense, even the jade box containing chalcedony is rarer than warm jade.
——But what is rare is not the jade, but the pattern on the jade.
Xiao Zhiyu just glanced at it unintentionally that day, but he always felt that the pattern was familiar. Later, after looking through the family's classics, he realized that it was the family crest of the Xiao family.
It's not that Xiao Zhiyu can't even recognize the family crest of his own family, but the pattern is a little different from what he usually sees, more like the warrant of the head of the Xiao family back then. With this piece of jade, he can travel freely in the Xiao family, no matter it is a forbidden area orOr the warehouse, or even... Holding the jade is like seeing someone, and the person holding the jade can mobilize all the resources of the Xiao family, which is equivalent to half of the owner of the family.
But Xiao Zhiyu couldn't help thinking of how the Patriarch sent it out at will without saying a word.
Maybe the owner doesn't know?
After all, it was all a few years ago. The Patriarch was young when he left home, so it's normal not to remember it. Even he had a whim and only found out after looking through the classics.
Besides, although the restriction on Nuanyu has not been lifted, the so-called "holding the jade is like seeing a person" is just a special meaning given to it by the family ruler. If the Patriarch Xiao could give it back then, the Patriarch Xiao now can naturally take it back.Xiao Zhiyu only thought that he was thinking too much.
Xiao Zhiyu was still thinking about those things, but the handyman disciple had already continued, "That man wants more than chalcedony? He also wants the name of the head's wife!"
What kind of "wife of the head of the family" is like a mirror in everyone's mind?This clearly wants half of the Xiao family!
Now even the disciple who was a bit calmer and kept silent all this time couldn't hold back, this guy is really shameless!!
But in this way, the crowd couldn't care less about continuing to criticize this greedy villain, and someone immediately asked, "Did the Patriarch agree to him?!"
"How can it be?" The handyman disciple hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head, and said, "The Patriarch can distinguish right from wrong and is wise and powerful. How can he be the kind of person who can do whatever he wants with a little kindness?"
All the disciples breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words. They were really afraid that the Patriarch would just send the Xiao family out and let others slaughter them.From the short-sighted and snobbish look of that person, one could tell that if the Xiao family had such a head wife, there would be troubles in the future.
While everyone was sighing with emotion, they also said humanely, "That's right, after all, Master Bai is here, how could the Patriarch agree to his request?"
Although in aristocratic families, the title of "wife of the head of the family" is often due to the combination of interests and seldom because of feelings, but since the head of the family already has a sweetheart, how could he casually give the name of the head's wife to others?What's more, he is still such a greedy villain.
The person who spoke just raised his mouth out of feeling, but after being reminded like this, everyone remembered that they brought up this topic in the first place precisely because of the Patriarch's marriage.
Immediately, someone changed his face and asked, "The Patriarch has not completed the Taoist ceremony so far, could it be related to this person?!"
The handyman disciple faltered again.
After being pressed for a few words, I said, "I don't know the inside story, it's just some speculation... That person doesn't even want face, and he comes to Xiao's house to pester him from time to time, but he didn't show up again for some reason. After that, the PatriarchI didn’t mention the matter of the ceremony of becoming a Taoist again. Obviously, the head of the family also expressed his intention to form a couple earlier. I wonder if these two things are related?”
All the disciples suddenly realized that there is no "isn't it"?It must be related!
With the deeds they heard before, all the disciples only felt that it was not unusual for this "benefactor" to do anything, so they threatened with kindness and forced the Patriarch to swear not to form a Taoist couple.Guess is about the same.
All of a sudden, everyone condemned.
Apparently, he felt that only verbal condemnation was not enough, and he said humanely, "The Patriarch can't do anything to him because of his kindness, but someone has to let him know that our Xiao family is not a spiritual library for him to get whatever he wants!!"
As soon as these words came out, all the disciples immediately responded. It was just a plan, but they didn't even know what the "benefactor" looked like at the moment.All of a sudden, eyes fell on Xiao Zhiyu who seemed to have seen someone before.
Xiao Zhiyu also knew what they wanted to ask, but he didn't actually see the appearance of that person.
It was not because of any good things that he went to see the Patriarch that day.
Xiao Hanzhou rejuvenated the Xiao family, and those offshoots of the Xiao family who were not able to beat them back then naturally tried their best to attach to them, wanting to get some benefits. Xiao Zhiyu, as a rare child of the Xiao family who was included in the family wall, was of course entrusted with an important task.
The young man still has some innocence that has not been contaminated by interests. He admires the patriarch's ability to avenge Xiao's humiliation alone, and is impressed by the latter's cultivation strength.I like it, but others speak lightly and are powerless to resist, so can only reluctantly be the messenger.
What happened that day was similar, Xiao Zhiyu felt that the Patriarch would not be too happy after hearing his report.
Although the head of the family would not take his anger out on others at will, Xiao Zhiyu still kept his voice and held his breath, and was very polite - since he entered, he kept his head down obediently, and he didn't dare to cast his eyes indiscriminately.
So in the end, all he saw was a dazzling golden-red brocade robe, and the slender and slender fingers that looked even more radiant than jade when he took the jade box.
It's strange to say that he and the disciples next to him just now denounced this person together, but now recalling the scene at that time, he couldn't help but feel shaken.things come.
Although Xiao Zhiyu didn't even see what the other person looked like, but his demeanor made it hard to imagine that that person would do the dirty things he just said.
Is there some... misunderstanding here?
As soon as Xiao Zhiyu's thoughts turned to this place, a fellow student next to him couldn't wait and asked him about his appearance.Under the watchful eyes of all his classmates, Xiao Zhiyu swallowed the "I don't know" that came to his lips again.
This is the time when young people at this age are very concerned about saving face, Xiao Zhiyu is especially at this point.
Moreover, his surname is "Xiao", which is the same surname and family as the Patriarch.Compared to your fellow disciples, he is the real "Xiao family's disciple".
In the eyes of everyone, Xiao Zhiyu is different, and Xiao Zhiyu also works hard to maintain that difference.His talent was not considered the most outstanding among the group of disciples, but with hard work, his cultivation progress far surpassed the rest, and he was firmly ranked... the second.
Every time he thought of this, Xiao Zhiyu couldn't help gnashing his teeth.
He looked up at the young man in the corner. The man he was watching was sitting cross-legged with his sword on his knees. The young man closed his eyes, and his face remained the dead man with no expression on his face, as if he didn't care about anything like this.The appearance of moving.
Xiao Zhiyu recalled that every time he competed and the other party easily knocked down his sword, he always had this expression.
All of a sudden, his teeth itch more and more, why are they so proud?It's just that you started a few years earlier, and your cultivation level is a little higher. When you are called "big brother", do you really think you are a senior?!
The disciples beside him didn't pay attention to Xiao Zhiyu's distraction at that moment, and they still gathered around him asking about the appearance of that "benefactor". This situation of being surrounded by people greatly satisfied Xiao Zhiyu's vanity, and he couldn't help it.Think, so what about "big brother"?Aren't all the same sects on his side now?
It's just that once I thought about it, I couldn't say the phrase "I didn't see it".
Xiao Zhiyu thought, he had indeed seen that person, but he didn't see what he looked like... It's not a lie.
Convincing himself in this way, Xiao Zhiyu was sure.While recalling the situation that day, he talked about the man's attire.
When he said that "the material of the clothes is like brocade", the expressions of all the disciples were filled with righteous indignation again.
After all, although the "Fire Brocade" is not as good as the ten thousand year chalcedony, it is still a rare treasure. With what the handyman disciple said earlier, they took it for granted that the clothes material was also obtained from the Patriarch.
In addition to being invulnerable to fire and water, fire brocade is often used as a wedding dress because of its bright colors.The two newcomers were dressed in this material for several famous Dao knot ceremonies in Dongzhou.There was also the premise that the man had been obsessed with before, but now hearing this, all the disciples only felt that he must have other intentions to ask for fire brocade and wear it on his body on purpose.
"How much hate to marry is this?"
"It's shameless to wear it directly on the body."
"He has done such things, what else can he pay attention to?"
"..."
Everyone was chattering, but no one paid attention. As early as the moment Xiao Zhiyu mentioned the man's clothes, the young man who was holding his sword with his eyes closed opened his eyes not far away.
He also heard the next words from his fellow disciples, and the face that Xiao Zhiyu sneered as "a dead person with no expression" suddenly sank.The boy's expression was terribly ugly, and the long sword placed on his knee trembled in response to his master's mood.But before he took any action, a voice with a smile sounded in his ear——
[I can't stand it anymore?Zhaoyu, you can't do this... your character is still grinding.]
Jiang Zhaoyu froze when he was about to get up, and his face appeared a little dazed.
After a while, the line of his lips was straightened, and the side of his cheeks showed obvious signs of tightened masseter muscles.But after all, he sat back again, holding down the long sword that was still trembling with one hand.
And over there, Xiao Zhiyu still couldn't escape being asked what that person looked like.
He glanced to the side unnaturally, but he still spoke with a stiff expression. He tried to make his tone look relaxed and unconcerned, "What else can it look like? It's unbearable..."
Before Xiao Zhiyu finished speaking, he felt a chilling sense of crisis.
After all, he has been cultivating for many years, and now he also reacted very quickly and slammed down his lower body. The streamer passed by his cheek, leaving a deep bloodstain on it.
The disciple next to him hadn't realized what happened just now, but subconsciously silenced it. On the martial arts field where needles could be heard, only the long sword that was deeply inserted into the ground was still buzzing.
There was already a layer of cold sweat on Xiao Zhiyu's back, he raised his hand stiffly to touch the bloodstain on his face, he didn't dare to think about where the sword would have landed if he hadn't dodged it just now.
He moved his eyes away from the sword little by little, turned his head to look to the other side, gritted his teeth, and paused every word——
"Ginger, photo, fish! Are you crazy—?!!"
