Chapter 8 Family Trials
Seeing the middle-aged woman talking hesitantly, Liang Wu finally understood the purpose of the three people's visit, so he immediately asked.
That's right, the Wang family is so superior, how could they be willing to have anything to do with you, a nobody, a trash that even the Yang family has to abandon?
Having seen this kind of thing so often, it was not unusual, so Liang Wu didn't say anything more and just spoke directly, going straight to the point.
Liang Wu never thought that he actually had this kind of marriage. Fortunately, Yang Lan was not with him, otherwise, he wouldn't know how to explain it.
But then again, why do you think of that bitch Yang Lan again for no reason?
"So what?"
The woman in white deliberately glared and said, it seems that she is the one who is engaged to Liang Wu.
"Miss, please stop being ridiculous." Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman actually scolded the young lady, and then said to Liang Wu with a smile: "No, don't misunderstand! My young master is true to his word, and he will definitely do what he said, but
Because the son of the lord of the city of Shu is still in the Wang family, he doesn’t believe that my lady is engaged, so we came here to find you, sir, to take out the token so that we can go back and bear witness."
"You mean that when you come to get the token, you also want me to go to the Wang family to prove it?"
Liang Wu seemed to understand what the other party meant, so he immediately asked.
"Well, if Master is willing, if you really don't want to, that's okay, but it may not be that simple to explain."
The middle-aged woman nodded and said. She seemed very easy-going. She didn't have the airs of a master at all, and she didn't even show the majesty of the Wang family.
"Aunt Qin, why do you say that? I have never promised such a thing."
The woman in white looked a little reluctant, grabbing the middle-aged woman's arm and shaking it back and forth, as if she was coquettishly coquettish.
"Nonsense! Our Wang family has always put integrity first. Could it be that you want to ruin your father's reputation?"
Although the middle-aged woman bluntly said that Liang Wu was too weak when she met him for the first time, this was indeed the truth. It did not mean that she looked down on Liang Wu. On the contrary, even Liang Wu originally thought that these three people were here to break off the engagement.
People, but I don’t want to just get that token back and have an explanation when I go back.
Liang Wu's understanding of the three people in front of him has completely changed. It seems that not all powerful people or big families are like those of the Yang family, and there are still some who are trustworthy.
"Well, to be honest, I still don't know what the token you are talking about is."
This is a bit embarrassing. Liang Wu has never heard his father and mother mention that he has a relationship with the Wang family, let alone any tokens.
"What are you pretending to be? Isn't that the little gold gourd on your waist? There's even a word engraved on it!"
When Liang Wu heard this, he immediately took off the small golden gourd hanging on his chest. After a closer look, he found that the word "month" was indeed engraved on it.
Only then did Liang Wu remember that he had worn this small golden gourd since he was a child. His father had always asked him to keep it well and it would be useful in the future.
He never understood what usefulness his father was talking about, and he even thought for a while that this small golden gourd contained a monster or a storage space.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a token of recognition from the Wang family.
Beside Yang Chan and the maid who said nothing, they all stared at the little golden gourd in Liang Wu's hand. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
"This?" Liang Wu slowly handed the small golden gourd to the middle-aged woman and said, "Well, since it's yours
Things, they will now be returned to their original owners.”
To be honest, Liang Wu didn't care about the engagement. Even if the other party was the daughter of the Wang family or the princess of the empire, he had never thought about getting married. With such a disparity in status, even if they reluctantly got together, he knew that he would be looked down upon.
Instead of doing this, why not be more cheerful, get over this matter, and practice with peace of mind. When you have strength in the future, are you afraid that these nobles and nobles will not come to you?
What's more, the girl in white in front of him is not his ideal type at all. What he likes is the kind that is knowledgeable, courteous, and considerate. Even if she is a little naughty sometimes, it is more of a kind of fun. In the end,
The key thing is to be consistent with your own personality. Of course, having another Yang Lan type will definitely not work.
"Then young master, why don't you come back to the Wang family with us to be a witness? By the way, you can stay at the Wang family so that you can understand some of the current situation of the Wang family and prepare for your future marriage with the young lady."
The middle-aged woman said tentatively, and even the maid next to her looked at Liang Wu intently.
It would be a great thing to follow the middle-aged woman back to the Wang family. If the marriage is successful, he will become the Wang family's son-in-law, and his status will naturally rise. It is better than the current situation where he can hardly even stay in the Yang family.
If the marriage fails, I believe that with the strength of the Wang family, Liang Wu will benefit a lot by giving him some compensation. They may even give him some pointers on how to practice, and he will be able to practice at a very fast speed.
Went up.
At this moment, even Yang Chan on the side nodded quickly and motioned for Liang Wu to follow him back to Wang's house.
"No."
Liang Wu simply said two words, his tone seemed very bland and without any color.
"Are you sure you want to give up such an opportunity?"
The middle-aged woman looked at Liang Wu in disbelief. As a person in the late stage of Jindan, she couldn't think of why Liang Wu refused.
No matter how you look at it, Liang Wu only has innate strength. With the support of the Wang family, his strength will definitely improve faster than that of the Yang family, but he didn't agree.
Outside, there are many people who want to be relatives of the Wang family but cannot. This Liang Wu...
Even grandpa Yang Chan was a little annoyed, feeling that Liang Wu was impulsive.
"Don't worry, I'm not angry for a moment. I know who I am at this moment. Of course, if you want to dissolve the marriage, I won't object. If there is nothing else, then I will leave first. I still have to go
Prepare for the family trials."
After saying that, Liang Wu didn't even give the other party a chance to speak to him, and then walked straight out of the door, leaving Yang Chan and the three women there with a blank look on their faces.
"this……"
The middle-aged woman wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it, and Liang Wu left without saying anything, which really surprised her.
"Interesting, what kind of person is he?"
After Liang Wu left, he heard the woman dressed as a maid speak for the first time, with a pair of bright eyes full of thought.
"Even if that's the case, then we won't bother you, Patriarch Yang, and we'll leave first."
"Well, three of you please!"
After saying that, the three women walked out of the room, flew into a stream of light, and disappeared directly on the spot.
Yang Chan stood there and sighed, muttering incessantly.
After the Wang family left, Liang Wu never looked for Yang Chan again. Instead, he entered seclusion again wholeheartedly, just to wait for the day of the family trial.
Time passed very quickly, two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of the family trial also passed.
Coming.
The family trial is a family grand ceremony held by the Yang family after the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, and the time is set on the 22nd of each month.
The challenge is also very simple. The contestants are asked to enter a mysterious stone house in the picture. The stone house is divided into two doors, entering from the left and exiting from the right. The contestants only need to enter the room from the left to start the timer, and then exit from the door on the right to complete the challenge.
After completion, they will be ranked from fastest to slow according to different times, and the top three will be qualified to practice in the family secret room.
The timing method is actually very simple. Use a funnel to time the time. There are seven scales on the funnel, which are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, arranged from bottom to bottom. The farther the color of the funnel is, the less time is used.
.
If the time consumption is the same, it depends on who completes the challenge first.
The person responsible for keeping time is the third elder of the Yang family, Yang Chan's younger brother Yang Si.
As for the specific content of the challenge and what is in the house, only those who have participated in the challenge know it. Naturally, Liang Wu cannot know it. This is where Liang Wu is at a disadvantage compared to other people.
Liang Wu didn't pay too much attention to it. Anyway, according to what Master Ziyu said, this was just a kid's thing and it would be easy to pass. If it really didn't work, it wouldn't be too late to ask Master Ziyu for help.
After making up his mind, Liang Wu devoted himself wholeheartedly to watching and queuing.
"Yang Gu, funnel scale - yellow, next one!"
Yang Gu is the son of Yang Tong and the most promising descendant of Yang Chan. Although he looks a little embarrassed, the look of pride on his face is still very strong, as if the funnel scale in the yellow area is very powerful.
.
"Yang Jun, funnel scale - green, next one!"
"Yang Fei, funnel scale - cyan, next one!"
"Ye Xing, funnel scale - yellow, next one!"
…
There are a total of twenty people participating in the family trial this time, which means that three people among the twenty will be selected to practice in the secret room for seven days.
This is undoubtedly cruel. After all, there are many people, and the probability is low. If the strength is low, it is just a companion.
Liang Wu watched for a while and found that the fastest among these people were Yang Gu and Ye Xing. The funnel scale only used the scale in the yellow area, and generally many people were hovering between green and cyan.
At the same time, there must be something in the house that will block the way, so the people coming out of the exit are basically unkempt and in a very embarrassed state.
According to Liang Wu's own observation, if he can reach yellow, he can basically stabilize the top three.
Among this group of contestants, it seems that only Yang Gu and Ye Xing are slightly better, while the others are more or less soft, not to mention compared to the previous super geniuses, especially the legendary one who maintained
Yang Lin holds the first record in history.
What color can I achieve by myself?
Cyan, blue, green, orange, or also yellow?
Liang Wu couldn't help but start to speculate on himself.
"It's your turn! Why are you still hanging around?"
Just when Liang Wu was still in a daze, he saw the third elder Yang Si shouting at him, and then he came to his senses.
After coming back to his senses, Liang Wu smiled awkwardly and strode towards the stone house with his head held high.
And Liang Wu's departure attracted a lot of looks, and naturally a lot of them were cynicism.
But Liang Wu didn't mind at all.
yellow?
Or orange?
