Chapter 21 finally here
Chapter 21 Finally here
Today is a very important day for the Qin family.
The annual annual examination is always held near the end of the year. It is a test of the younger generation's practice over the year and a report on the family's development over the year.
In the hall of the Clan Council, an elegant girl sat on a high seat. The Qin family's guards stood in two rows below, all listening to her instructions with respectful expressions.
"Today, we will also invite several other aristocratic families in Nanfeng City to come to watch the ceremony. If something happens, it will definitely affect the reputation of our Qin family in Nanfeng City! So today's guards must be even stronger than before.
Be cautious and don't tolerate any mistakes!" Qin Li's cold voice came, and then he calmly began to arrange the entire Qin family's guard arrangements.
"Okay, follow the lady's instructions and head to your location immediately!" Seeing that Qin Li had finished giving instructions, Qin Meng, the captain of the guard at the side, gave an order and everyone dispersed.
"Captain Qin Meng, the Wu family, our competitor in the elixir business, will also come today. I want you to monitor them personally and never let them cause trouble in the Qin family." Qin Li put the note aside and continued to give instructions.
"Yes, miss." Qin Meng accepted the order and retreated.
After everything was arranged, Qin Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then started to walk towards the Qin family's martial arts arena with light steps.
"I wonder how far Xiaofan has cultivated?" At this time, she felt a little uneasy and a little hopeful. In other words, this matter was what she was most concerned about today.
At this time, there were red lanterns hanging high everywhere in the Qin family's martial arts arena. Thousands of clan members had gathered here. They even suspended all shops for today's grand gathering.
The five elders of the Qin family also appeared on the high platform early, looking full of energy. They looked at the boiling clan members below with different expressions.
The salute sounded, and the head of the Qin family walked in with several guests from other Zhenwu families in Nanfeng City. The elder stood up to greet him and read aloud: "Welcome His Excellency Tian Feng, the head of the Nanfeng family of the eighth-grade Zhenwu family, and welcome the ninth-grade Zhenwu
His Excellency Wu Hongtian, the head of the Nanfeng Wu family of the aristocratic family, welcomes His Excellency Xue Changfeng, the head of the Nanfeng Xue family of the ninth-grade Zhenwu family."
"Haha, Chief Qin has managed the affairs well, and the martial arts of the Qin family is at its peak. What a joy to congratulate!" Tian Feng, the head of the Tian family, was wearing a purple costume, slightly chubby, smiling, and had a loud voice.
"Clan Chief Tian, you are very polite. When it comes to the peak of martial arts, our Qin family is still far behind the Tian family... Please take a seat!" Qin Hong said humbly and led everyone to their seats on the high platform.
"Hey, the martial arts of the Qin family is at its peak. It can be seen that the eldest son of the Qin family is extremely talented. I wonder what state he is in now?" After sitting down, a sinister voice came from the speaker.
The Qin family's business rival is Wu Hongtian, the head of the Wu family. He has a goatee and squints his eyes slightly when he speaks. Standing next to him is his son Wu Feng, who looks proud and is seventeen years old. Rumor has it that
Having broken through to the realm of martial arts has always been Wu Hongtian's most proud asset.
Qin Fan is not very talented, and the fact that he has been a third-level martial artist for many years has been rumored throughout Nanfeng City for a long time. Qin Hong knew that Wu Hongtian said this intentionally to embarrass him, but he didn't know how to refute it at the moment, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
.
"Haha, the head of the Wu family doesn't know something. The eldest son of the Qin family may not have much success in martial arts, but I heard that he is quite talented in refining medicine. With each of them developing, the head of the Qin family doesn't need to worry too much."
At this time, the patriarch of the Xue family spoke up to help Qin Hong. Xue Changfeng was wearing a Confucian robe, with a jade face and a long beard, and he looked very bookish.
Qin Hong glanced at Xue Changfeng with some gratitude, and then said lightly to Wu Hongtian: "Although my cultivation level is low now, I am better than young. Thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty to another to west of Hexi, why not wait and see?"
Because of Qin Fan's changes in these days, he still has expectations for this son in his heart.
"Hehe, let's take a look." Wu Hongtian chuckled and glanced at his son standing beside him. His heart was full of pride. He brought Wu Feng with him this time just to let the Qin family know what the Qin family did.
One generation is inferior to their Wu family.
"First elder, let's start!" Qin Hong ignored Wu Hongtian and saw that it was almost time, so he said loudly to the first elder of the Qin family.
"Dang, Dang, Dang..." Three clear blasts resounded throughout the sky, and the Nanfeng Qin family's annual annual survey officially kicked off.
Qin Yuan, the eldest elder of the Qin family, held three long incense sticks and raised his head to worship the sky, followed by a series of complicated rituals.
After the ceremony, the great elder Qin Yuan shouted to the sky: "God bless the Nanfeng Qin family..."
"God bless the Nanfeng Qin family!" was immediately echoed loudly by the people below.
At this time, the great elder Qin Yuan retreated. As the head of the Qin family, Qin Hong stepped forward and his loud voice spread throughout the crowd:
"Young tribesmen, the glory of the Nanfeng Qin family will be inherited by you, and the glory of the Nanfeng Qin family will be created by you!"
"The Nanfeng Qin family's annual test has officially begun!"
The excited crowd gradually parted, and young tribesmen under the age of twenty stepped forward and lined up to wait for the test.
"Where did Xiaofan go?" Looking at the teenagers who were preparing for the test, Qin Hong's eyes swept through the crowd, but did not find Qin Fan. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "Is it possible that Xiaofan is as withdrawn as usual?
Already?"
Thinking of Qin Fan's changes in these days, he really didn't want to believe it.
"Hey, Chief Qin, I wonder where Master Ling has gone?" But at this moment, Wu Hongtian's harsh voice came to his ears again, making Qin Hong feel a little more irritated.
"The annual test has just begun. Xiaofan is not feeling well and is just resting temporarily." Qin Hong said with a solemn face. He inadvertently glanced at Wu Feng standing next to Wu Hongtian from the corner of his eyes. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a confident face.
Extraordinary, I can't help but feel a hint of envy in my heart.
"Haha, it turns out I'm feeling unwell..." Wu Hongtian laughed jokingly, and deliberately lengthened his voice. His hateful look made Qin Hong crazy, but he had no choice but to panic.
"Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan, you have to give me some credit!" Qin Hong looked for Qin Fan in the crowd anxiously, not even interested in talking to several clan leaders.
Finally, at the entrance of the path over the martial arts field, I saw a young man wearing a blue robe slowly walking towards the testing area. His clothes seemed a bit low-key, but he was more mature and steady than his peers, and his steps were calm.
Calm and confident.
Chapter completed!
