"My daughter is not lucky. After all, I didn't get to see you for the last time. But I haven't enjoyed this family relationship enough and haven't had time to serve you. Even if we are both monks, how can we let go."
"Father, mother, you have always loved me, doted on me, and hoped that I would be strong and successful. My daughter will do it. She will definitely not disappoint you, and your spirit in heaven will also be very happy."
"You are no longer here. If it were in the past, I would be afraid, I would be afraid, I would collapse, and I would not know what to do. But now, I am not the original me. Father and mother, I can look down on life and death, so I understand
, the only one I can rely on is myself."
"I will keep my thoughts of you in my heart. You have not passed away, but live in my heart. Father and mother, have a good journey."
Chen Mengzhu finished speaking softly, kowtowed three more times, and then stood up.
"Uncle Seventeen, I'm not here for the trial. It was you who arranged the funeral. After all the busy work, my niece thanks you." She then bowed deeply to a middle-aged man with a loyal appearance.
"This is what I should do, and niece Mengzhu doesn't have to be polite." The middle-aged man sighed and held up his hands, "You have to express your condolences."
Chen Mengzhu said loudly: "Mengzhu would like to thank all the family elders and brothers and sisters for taking care of me. Although my parents are gone, I still thank you for your care on behalf of my parents who have passed away."
The cultivators of the Chen family offered words of comfort one after another, but they were all amazed in their hearts. They all thought that they had really underestimated this little girl before, but they didn't expect to be so responsible, calm and considerate in situations. Unfortunately, her qualifications are a bit lacking. If she can enter the core disciple level,
, presumably it will be more eye-catching.
The third ancestor of the Chen family has recovered from his grief. He looked at Chen Mengzhu, the surprise in his eyes getting stronger and stronger: "Mengzhu, how was your outing trial this time?"
"Thanks to my grandfather's concern, Mengzhu's trial was very effective." Chen Mengzhu bowed and said.
The third ancestor of the Chen family said happily: "Do you have any wishes or requirements? It just so happens that everyone is here. As long as I can do it, I will definitely let you get what you want."
Chen Mengzhu turned around and looked at the mourning hall and said softly: "Grandpa, my parents are the core children of the second generation of the Chen family. What they hoped most when they were alive was that I could become the core child of the third generation of the Chen family and become an elite of the Chen family. But I have never achieved it.
Their wish. I hope that I can become the core disciple of the three generations of the Chen family to comfort their souls in heaven."
Everyone immediately looked at each other with a confused look on their face. They all thought that it was not good for you to ask for something. You can choose the elixirs, techniques, magic weapons, and resources at your choice, but to become a core disciple, you must rely on your strength to rise to the top. This is the ancestral rule of the Chen family.
How can it be because you violated the rules?
Some people even vaguely felt that Chen Mengzhu was using the opportunity of his parents' death to demand the family, which was a bit more scheming. But after all, it was at a funeral, and even if he was dissatisfied, no one had the nerve to speak out.
Everyone thought that the third ancestor of the Chen family would politely refuse and ask her to make another request. Unexpectedly, the third ancestor of the Chen family nodded matter-of-factly: "Xiao Feng. You are responsible for the evaluation of the core disciples of the third generation. From now on, Mengzhu will be the core of the third generation.
She is one of the children, please go through the formalities for her."
What... everyone was stunned for a moment. Unable to hold back any longer, they started whispering.
The core disciples must have enough strength. The minimum standard for the third generation of core disciples is the fourth level of supernatural power. This is the iron law of the Chen family for thousands of years. Even the ancestors must abide by it. How can Chen Mengzhu enter the core level with just one word? This
Isn't it a joke?
Chen Xiaofeng is a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, but at this moment his face is full of embarrassment: "Third uncle, my nephew knows that Sixth Brother is gone, and you and niece Mengzhu feel very sad, but to be the core child of the third generation of the Chen family, the minimum requirement is
It is also the fourth level of supernatural power. This is an iron rule. You don’t know it..."
He suddenly couldn't speak any more and stared at Chen Mengzhu dumbfounded, his face froze.
Everyone else also stopped whispering and looked at Chen Mengzhu in surprise.
The girl's face was calm, but the breath was released silently, but there was a powerful and ethereal artistic conception, as if she no longer belonged to this world, but could enter another space.
"The fourth level of spiritual power!" Many people exclaimed in surprise.
The faces of the three generations of disciples all changed. Most of the core disciples were surprised, but the faces of the ordinary disciples were complicated. After breaking through to the fourth level of magical power, they were no longer on the same level as them.
Only the third ancestor of the Chen family remained unchanged. He was a sixth-level master of supernatural powers, so he had naturally seen Chen Mengzhu's true state.
"Xiao Feng, Mengzhu is now qualified to enter the third generation core." He said directly.
"You have the qualifications." Chen Xiaofeng still had a troubled face and said bravely, "But Third Uncle, you three ancestors just made a decision a few days ago. In the future, becoming a core disciple will not only be in the realm.
It's a tough fight, and we have to adopt a elimination system for the last place. Even if you have enough realm and insufficient cultivation, you still can't become a core disciple."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Chen Mengzhu with sympathy.
This decision was made during Chen Mengzhu's trial. In recent years, the monsters in Wanlunhai have become more and more rampant, forcing the competition among major monk organizations to become more intense. The Chen family's decision is a microcosm of the general trend.
It's just a pity that Chen Mengzhu has broken through to the fourth level of supernatural power, but he has just broken through, his realm is unstable, his cultivation is not very strong, and he will definitely be ranked at the bottom of the core disciples.
The third ancestor of the Chen family looked ugly and did not speak for a while.
Of course he knew this rule very well. It was set by him and the other two ancestors of the Chen family. Unexpectedly, it made things difficult for his own granddaughter. He wanted to pretend to be confused and just get through, but his nephew seemed to be shrewd.
, but which pot is not opened and which pot is picked up?
It would have been fine in normal times, but now that Chen Mengzhu's parents have died, it is the most grieving time. He, as the ancestor's biological grandfather, can't give his granddaughter any comfort, how can he feel so happy in his heart.
Chen Xiaofeng also felt a little regretful about why he had spoken so decisively, so he thought about it and said sincerely: "Third uncle, do you think this will work? Anyway, Mengzhu's niece has also broken through to the fourth level of magical power. At worst, we can just wait a little longer.
One year, this year, I will stabilize my realm and practice hard. I will allocate more resources to her, and then when I am ready for the next year, I can compete with other core disciples. Otherwise, it will be a competition now. I think Mengzhu’s niece
I’m not in the mood either.”
This was quite appropriate, and the third ancestor of the Chen family finally showed an acceptable expression on his face. He looked at Chen Mengzhu and asked: "Mengzhu, what do you think? If you want anything else, just tell grandpa, grandpa will give it to you."
You make the decision."
Chen Mengzhu said calmly: "Thank you for your grandfather's concern, and thank you for Uncle Xiao Feng's advice. However, I came back from the trial to enter the third generation of core disciples. Although the rules have been changed and elimination is adopted at the end, I can give it a try."
The expressions of the third ancestor of the Chen family and Chen Xiaofeng froze at the same time.
Chen Xiaofeng said awkwardly: "Niece Mengzhu, the sixth brother and the sixth sister-in-law have just left. You are grieving and are not in a good state. Do you think..."
Chen Mengzhu interrupted him and said: "Uncle Xiao Feng, just tell me who will be the number one core disciple of the three generations of the Chen family after the rules are changed?"
Chen Xiaofeng's face looked a little ugly. As an elder, this was the first time he was interrupted by a junior. Although Chen Mengzhu was grieving the death of his parents, it would be too rude to do so.
Then his voice became colder: "It's your cousin Chen Mengxing, what? Are you going to challenge him directly?"
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but glance at a young man who was as long as jade. This young man had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He had an extraordinary temperament. He was dressed in white clothes and had a sense of agility and extraordinary agility.
Seeing everyone's gaze, the young man did not feel uncomfortable at all, but was very calm, giving people a very grand feeling.
He looked at Chen Mengzhu with a slight frown. In his impression, this cousin didn't have much interaction with him. Even if he did meet him, he would just nod and say hello and pass by.
If there is an impression, it is that Chen Mengzhu is more persistent in working hard and has good looks. Of course, she was far less beautiful then than she is now.
"Yes, after defeating cousin Mengxing, can I become a core disciple of the third generation?" Chen Mengzhu said calmly.
Chen Xiaofeng was about to laugh out loud at her: "Are you serious?"
"I have always been very serious." Chen Mengzhu said calmly, turned around and saluted Chen Mengxing with his fists raised, "Cousin Mengxing, please give me some advice."
The crowd suddenly became commotion.
Chen Mengzhu's behavior was so unexpected. Although everyone thought that she was suffering from excessive grief and her mind was unclear, they still couldn't help but look forward to seeing someone challenge the number one person in the third generation of the Chen family.
"Third uncle, look at this girl..." Chen Xiaofeng looked at the third ancestor of the Chen family and said dissatisfiedly.
There was a hint of hope in the eyes of the third ancestor of the Chen family, and he said slowly: "It's better to let them compete. I haven't seen the competition of the younger generation for a long time, but I want to see how far Mengxing and Mengzhu have reached."
Chen Xiaofeng had no choice but to say nothing.
The ancestor had already spoken. Chen Mengxing didn't want to show his face, so he had to walk out and return the courtesy slightly: "Sister Mengzhu, although you have broken through to the fourth level of supernatural power, now is not the time. Your condition is not very good. As a disciple, I
Brother, I can’t take advantage of you. Let’s do this. You strike first and I’ll give you three swords. How about we fight fairly?”
Chen Mengzhu didn't show any pretense and simply said: "Okay."
She grabbed it in the air, and her slender snow-white jade fingers pressed down dozens of spells in an instant. Silently, a compelling cold light condensed in her hand, forming a magical sword that was no different from a real sword.
Everyone couldn't help but let out a low cry. Just the appearance of this hand made them feel amazing. It seems that this little girl is not as simple as imagined. No wonder she dares to challenge Chen Mengxing.
Chen Mengxing's face also became serious. It turned out that he still had contempt for her, but as Chen Mengzhu drew his sword, this contempt immediately disappeared without a trace.
Hey! The sword energy was like a rainbow, and instantly turned into countless sword waves, rushing towards Chen Mengxing overwhelmingly. The momentum was like a deserted cliff one moment, and a catastrophic flash flood erupting the next moment. (To be continued...
