The horse's hooves were strong, walking on the gravel road on a rainy night, and the pebbles shone like fish scales.
There are stone pavements, high courtyard walls, and a few old and dead ivy with only their meridians attached to the blue bricks of the wall. The moss at the foot of the wall and the shadows formed in the alley after the high wall blocks the sunlight make the place look damp and moldy.
and dilapidated.
No matter from which angle you look at it, this seems to be a corner abandoned by the family.
Rong Kaixuan looked around. If he hadn't followed his grandfather closely, he would not have thought that the clan leader, who had a very high status in the family, would live in such a dilapidated place.
Rong Jielin dismounted, handed the reins to the servant behind him, and led Rong triumphantly to the roof. He gently knocked on the door.
After a while, the door creaked open.
An old man with a red face stood inside the door. His appearance was very similar to Rong Jielin's, but his body was quite thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
However, Rong Kaixuan did not dare to look down upon the old man in the slightest.
Because he knows that those who can hold the position of clan elders, in addition to being highly respected within the family and having great influence, also have a hard target.
That is, all clan elders are innately strong, and this hard target is the overriding prerequisite for everything else.
In other words, as long as your cultivation reaches the level of an innate powerhouse, even if you have never participated in the management of the family, you will still have a place in the clan elders' meeting.
However, no matter how influential you are in the family, as long as you are not strong enough and have not set foot on the innate, then the noble title of clan elder will never fall on your head.
Rong Jielin lowered his head, the energy in his body was completely restrained, and said: "Brother, I see you are here."
The old man smiled slightly and said: "If you don't practice well at home, try to set foot in Xiantian one day and see what I, an old man, do."
Rong Jielin's face darkened slightly and said: "Brother, I know myself well, and it is unlikely that I will ever set foot on Xiantian in this life." He paused and then said: "Triumph, come and kowtow to the great grandfather."
Rong Kaixuan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down heavily regardless of the dampness on the ground.
This is the first time we meet, and we are facing the direct elders of the family, so it is not an exaggeration to kowtow a few times.
Rong Jason's eyes lit up slightly, and he stood still. After Rong Kaixuan kowtowed three times, he smiled slightly, helped him up, and said: "You are Kaixuan, haha, good, very good, Yi Yang has
You, my son, can be considered proud in front of his father."
Rong Jielin was startled and smiled bitterly: "Brother, what are you talking about?"
Jason Rong laughed loudly and said, "Come in and sit down."
When everyone entered the courtyard, Rong Kaixuan took a glance and was surprised to find that the courtyard was not big, and it seemed that only the grandfather lived there.
Seemingly seeing his surprise, Rong Jason said slowly: "I am withdrawn and not used to living with others. I take care of everything here myself."
Rong Kaixuan quickly bowed his head in response, thinking secretly in his heart that indeed all of these clan elders have strange habits.
However, a strong person who can step into the innate realm cannot be looked at with ordinary people's eyes.
The three of them sat down in the room, and Jason Rong personally boiled a pot of tea for the two of them, which made Rong Kaixuan feel flattered.
He wanted to do it for him several times, but Rong Jielin secretly stopped him. It seemed that cooking tea was one of Rong Jielin's hobbies.
After a while, Rong Jason said: "Second brother, you brought Kaixuan here this time. Could it be that something happened in the family?"
Although Rong Jiesen usually paid no attention to family affairs, being able to become a clan elder meant he was naturally outstanding, and he immediately pointed out the key points.
Rong Jielin's expression condensed and he said: "Brother, there is indeed a change in the family this time, and it was caused by the triumphant entry into the mountains."
"Oh?" Rong Jason looked at Rong Kaixuan lightly and said, "When Kaixuan entered the mountain, did he encounter some danger?"
"Yes." Rong Kaixuan said with a bitter smile: "The child is indeed in danger, and he almost won't be able to come back."
Jason Rong frowned slightly and said, "Brother Jiexuan gave you two bottles of pills. With your strength, as long as you don't go deep into the mountains, you shouldn't encounter any danger."
Rong Kaixuan was startled and said, "Two bottles of pills?" His expression suddenly became strange.
Before he entered the mountain, he did obtain two bottles of elixirs and a jewelry spiritual weapon. And this spiritual weapon played a huge role. Under the protection of the light of the spiritual weapon, even the mid-term spiritual master Gu Wen was helpless.
.
However, these two bottles of elixirs were obviously gifts from the senior sister, so why did they have anything to do with the Jiexuan clan elder.
Jason Rong waved his sleeves and stopped dwelling on it, saying, "What dangers have you encountered? Let me tell you."
Rong Kaixuan's expression condensed, he immediately calmed down and recounted in detail what had happened before.
Of course, he also concealed some content in this, such as the matter of the sinkhole, which he did not mention at all. When talking about his life-and-death fight with Gu Wen, he only said that he had released more than 400 spiritual warrior talismans.
, grinding the opponent to death.
At the end of his speech, he took out the jade plaque and placed it respectfully on the table.
Rong Jason's expression was calm and calm at first, but at the end, there was anger in his eyes. A faint coercion was released from his body, which actually made people feel a kind of frightening terror.
It feels like this is the result of his efforts to suppress it. If he unleashes it to his fullest, the pressure of an innate powerhouse would be enough to scare ordinary people to death.
"Humph, what a Gu Tianhe, what a Rong Kaijie." He stood up, looked at the jade sign for a few times, and said coldly: "I have also heard of the names of the three Guwen brothers. Humph, this is
Although the rising star of the Gu family is only a mid-term spiritual master, he has the potential and possibility to impact the innate. Hehe, I never expected that they would send Gu Wen to hunt you down."
Rong Kaixuan felt relieved. Since the clan elders had heard about the reputation of Gu Wen and others, it couldn't be better.
Rong Jason pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "I have always ignored family affairs and only immersed myself in cultivation. But now that someone is bullying me, I can't just sit back and ignore it." He looked at Rong Kaixuan and said: "This is
I will definitely seek justice for you."
Rong Kaixuan felt warm in his heart, he was indeed his great grandfather, and he was also an innately strong man. Once he could distinguish right from wrong, he would immediately step forward to seek justice for himself.
Rong Jason raised his head and shouted loudly: "Go to the mourning hall and invite the elder of the Jiexuan clan here. I'll invite him to tea."
"yes."
Outside the yard, a person responded loudly.
Rong Kaixuan was slightly startled and looked at his grandfather in surprise.
Rong Jielin smiled slightly and said: "Kaixuan, although your great grandfather likes to live alone, he is the patriarch of the family after all, so the family has stationed manpower nearby, ready to obey your great grandfather's orders at any time."
Rong Kaixuan's eyes flashed, and he nodded slowly, gaining a better understanding of the clan elder's power and prestige.
At this moment, he deeply envied his grandfather's status as an elder of the clan.
If one day he can become the patriarch of his family, that would be a life worthy of his life.
Rong Jason snorted coldly and said: "That old boy Jiexuan always said that you won't encounter any big dangers when you enter the mountains in triumph. Hum, if the triumph is not well prepared, this time may be more misfortunate." He paused for a moment.
, said: "If he can't justify himself, I will break up with him."
Rong Kaixuan rolled his eyes and whispered: "Grandpa, Elder Jiexuan takes great care of the children."
Rong Jason shook his head and said: "That old boy is a fool to study under the teacher. He only knows to let you practice hard and go through dangers. But he doesn't know how to do what he can. Huh, if you continue like this, one day you will be dead."
Something happened."
Rong Jielin coughed a few times and whispered: "Brother, the master of the Jiexuan clan..."
Rong Jason's face twitched a few times and said: "I just scolded the old man, not his disciples. Why are you nervous?"
Rong Kaixuan looked at the expressions of the two elders and became increasingly curious.
The master of the Jiexuan clan must be very powerful and great, so although Rong Jason could yell at the master of the Jiexuan clan, he would not dare to blaspheme the other clan at all.
The room fell silent, and after a full quarter of an hour, a hearty laughter suddenly rang out.
"Haha, Jason, you called me here, but what good tea did you get?"
A figure flashed in the yard, and Rong Jiexuan had already jumped in, with a look of anticipation on his face.
Rong Kaixuan lowered his head and smiled secretly in his heart. The Jiexuan tribe is really addicted to tea.
"Greetings to Elder Jiexuan." Rong Jielin and Rong Kaixuan came forward to pay homage at the same time.
Rong Jiexuan waved his hand and said, "That's all. Oh, you're back in triumph. Could it be that you brought back some good tea from the Langya Mountains? Huh, even if you have good tea, you don't even remember to send me some."
Rong Kaixuan looked embarrassed and silently remembered this. If he gets good tea in the future, he must leave some for the two old men.
Rong Jason frowned slightly and said: "Jie Xuan, this kid Kaixuan went into the mountain this time and almost never came back."
Rong Jiexuan was startled, and the expression on his face immediately became solemn.
At Grandpa's instruction, Rong Kaixuan recounted the incident in the mountain for the third time, and finally said: "The old man surnamed Zeng said that Gu Tianhe wanted to control the Rong family by supporting Rong Kaijie's family to rise to power, so that
The Rong family became a branch of the Gu family within a hundred years. This is absolutely true. If the child lies even one word, he will be punished by heaven and earth, and he will not die a good death."
In the room, the faces of the three old men were gloomy, and there was a hint of anger in their eyes. They were like volcanoes that had been accumulating for many years. Once they erupted, they would release a terrifying power that would sweep everything away.
