Chapter 265 The sound of the piano in the distance
The night is slightly cool, and the ancient demon star field at night is more beautiful than the earthly world.
Chu Yan and his party were drinking heavily in a restaurant. They were all wine lovers, so they naturally drank without nonsense. Hua Zhixu was a typical example. He loved wine, and of course he didn’t drink with everyone, only with those who were in his right mood.
Drinking is like a willow mat, and the two of them get along very well.
Some people say that wine is a kind of pride, and those who are willing to drink and those who understand wine must be teachable.
"Good guys, you three are really good at drinking. It's your last drink. You must report to Lihuo Academy tomorrow. You can't be late." Liu Xi was speechless for a while. He always thought that he could drink well, but today he and Chu Yan suffered a big loss.
"Okay." Chu Yan smiled and nodded.
"Where did you three come from? You must all have a lot of stories, right?" Du Meiling clapped her chin at the side and looked at Chu Yan and the others curiously.
Chu Yan smiled bitterly, are there many stories? There are really many. Four years of ups and downs turned into a day of mourning. The last battle in the world that day was tragic and heroic, but Chu Yan smiled and said
Didn't explain anything.
"Brother Chu, you are new to the Ancient Demon Star Territory, why not go to my Liu Mansion at night?"
"That's fine. You three can go to Liu Mansion. Liu Mansion is very big. It's no problem if you three have more mouths to talk to. If I were a man, I would let you live in my family." Du Meiling couldn't help but feel her beautiful eyes.
There was a flash of sadness.
"Then I'll bother Brother Liu." Chu Yan said politely. He also hoped to learn about the Ancient Demon Star Territory as soon as possible. In one day, Chu Yan also briefly learned about it. Lihuo Academy is in the east of the Ancient Demon Star Territory. The east is composed of one academy and five schools.
The first one refers to the Lihuo Academy, and the five families refer to the Jiang family, the Liu family, the Du family, the Luo family, and the Huo family. Among them, the Jiang family is the first, the Luo family is the second, the Huo family is the third, the Liu family and the Du family are
My family is a little lonely now.
Therefore, being in the Liu family also makes it convenient for Chu Yan to understand some of the situation in the Ancient Demon Star Territory.
After the banquet was over, Chu Yan and the three of them followed Liu Xi back to the Liu Mansion. The Liu Mansion was very large, with more than a hundred guest rooms.
"Brother Chu, the strength of the Liu family is not simple. There are many emperors among the younger generation." The fat man chirped at the side.
Chu Yan nodded. It is true. There are many emperors under the age of thirty in Liu Mansion. Liu Xi's current strength is also the fifth level of emperor. You must know that this kind of strength is definitely the level of genius in the world, but in ancient times
Demon Star Realm is not outstanding.
"Haha, Liu Xi is back? What, did you pass the assessment of Lihuo Academy this year?" As soon as Liu Xi and the four returned to Liu Mansion, a young man walked towards them. He was slightly older, a year older than Liu Xi.
At the age of two, he directly stopped Liu Xi and the other four from the front.
"Liu Jingtian, a good dog doesn't block the road!" Liu Xi immediately became unhappy when he saw the young man's face.
The young man named Liu Jingtian was also angry and said with a faint smile: "Brother Liu Xi, how can you say that I am your brother? Why do you talk like this?"
"Brother? Are you worthy?"
"Huh, don't get excited. There's no point in talking nonsense to me. I'm just here to tell you that today the elders have decided to remove your grandfather from his position as elder. Soon your sister Liu Qing will marry Luo Yu. When
By that time, the Liu family will become a family with the Luo family. You'd better stop resisting and do your sister's job. Being able to marry the Luo family is a gift to Liu Qing."
"My sister will never marry Luo Yu!" Liu Xi roared.
"It's useless if you don't agree. This is a rule. Hum, I advise you to be more sensible. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Now the Luo family is prosperous. It is a blessing for my Liu family to be able to be in their relationship." Liu Jingtian said,
Then he glanced at Chu Yan and the others: "You three are Liu Xi's friends, right? Get out, you are not welcome in Liu Mansion."
"Liu Jingtian, you have gone too far! The three of them are the guests I invited!" Liu Jingtian said coldly: "And let me tell you, this Brother Chu is now also a student of Lihuo Academy. He has passed the sixth grade in this year's assessment.
With more than a hundred fire patterns, you can't afford the consequences of angering a future fire pattern master."
"What about the students from Lihuo Academy? More than six hundred? The future fire pattern master? It's ridiculous. I've seen the list of this year's assessment. He should be the Chu Yan from the despicable star, right? Only sixty-seven.
, Jiang Yan took one thousand four hundred tests this time, and Luo Yu took one thousand three hundred tests. When it comes to fire pattern masters, it’s Jiang Yan and Luo Yu, who is he?”
Liu Jingtian said disdainfully, and then he looked at Chu Yan: "Boy, I can't stop you from staying, but I want to advise you, it's not easy for you to escape from the despicable stars, and it's not easy to practice, so don't get yourself into trouble.
Now is a critical moment for my Liu family, you'd better obey."
After saying that, Liu Jingtian turned around and left. Chu Yan and the other three were speechless for a while, while Fatty laughed bitterly: "Brother Chu...do we have the word country bumpkin written on our faces? Why are we looked down upon everywhere?"
Chu Yan ignored the fat man and looked at Liu Xi: "Does it make it difficult for you for us to live here? Otherwise, we can go out and live in a restaurant."
Liu Xi sighed: "I'm sorry, it's me who has caused trouble to you. It's okay, you can just stay in the Liu Mansion. After all, I can be considered a direct descendant of the Liu family, and I still have the right to entertain three people."
"Do you need help? If necessary, you can tell me." Chu Yan hesitated and asked.
Liu Xi was stunned for a moment, feeling a little moved in his heart, but he still shook his head and sighed: "No need. You can't control this matter. You just came from Xiaoxingchen, and you have been living in Liu Mansion for the past six months. You will leave after half a year."
"
Chu Yan nodded. Since Liu Xi didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.
Chu Yan and the other two temporarily stayed in Liu Mansion. At night, there was a piano sound playing in Liu Mansion. The music was beautiful and a little desolate, echoing in a bamboo forest.
Chu Yan frowned. He followed the music of the piano and saw a beautiful woman in a bamboo forest. The woman seemed to exist in a painting, her beauty was otherworldly.
"What a moving piano sound!" Chu Yan couldn't help but sigh to himself. At this moment, the piano music suddenly stopped, and a soft female voice came from the distance: "Young Master stayed up late at night, hiding outside the bamboo forest to spy on the little girl. Is there something wrong with her?
Is it against the rules?”
Chu Yan was stunned for a moment. He could guarantee that the woman could never see him from his position. But the woman noticed him. Can he tell the direction by the sound of the piano?
"Girl, atonement, I was moved by the wonderful music of the piano late at night. I was curious and thought of coming here to find out. I didn't mean to offend the girl." Since he was discovered, Chu Yan walked out directly.
"Young Master, are you concerned about something far away?" The woman was wearing a snow-white dress and raised her head. She was very beautiful, especially her pair of clear jade eyes, which were as pure and penetrating as jade in the water.
"Exactly. How did the girl find out?" Chu Yan nodded with a wry smile, but he was concerned about the distant world, Liu Qingcheng, and his parents in the mortal world.
"The sound of the piano is played for people from afar. Only those who care about the distant place will be attracted. It seems that the young master is this kind of person." The woman smiled softly: "Little girl: Liu Qing, the young master is
…”
"Liu Qing?" Chu Yan suddenly realized that this woman was Liu Xi's sister. He responded with a smile: "Chu Yan, from far away."
"I really hope to see the beautiful scenery in the distance, but it's a pity that I don't have this opportunity." Liu Qing smiled, and Chu Yan frowned: "The girl is still so young, why do you say there is no chance?"
"Sir, you'd better go to bed early. I hope you'll be forgiven for disturbing you tonight because of the music!" Liu Qing's delicate body trembled, and she suddenly put away her guqin.
Liu Qing left, leaving Chu Yan to sigh helplessly. At this time, Liu Xi suddenly appeared beside him, looking at the woman's back with pain: "Qing'er originally had a peerless talent, but unfortunately, his parents lost him early.
, since the death of her parents, she gave up her practice and devoted herself to playing the piano. She misses people far away here every day. What is hateful is that my parents are not here, so I, the elder brother, cannot protect her!"

"The Liu family is in trouble. Do you want to test Liu Qing's marriage and settle the family in exchange for family honor?" Chu Yan glanced sideways at Liu Xi, who nodded with a wry smile: "It seems you have guessed it."
"The Luo family has been prospering in the past few years, and Luo Yu's father Luo Tianya is even more famous. He is a top level five fire pattern master and is very famous in the eastern part of the Ancient Demon Star Territory. If it is just a marriage, that's it, but this father and son are greedy for beauty.
But after all, Luo Tianya was that old and had to take his reputation into consideration. So he had no choice but to keep marrying wives and concubines as Luo Yu. However, all the women who married into the Luo family were humiliated by the father and son and were treated as slaves.
, the disobedient one directly steals the soul, becomes a fake dead person, and continues to play with it!"
"Now, is Luojia targeting Liu Qing?" Chu Yan asked.
"Well! In fact, this is not the most hateful thing. Since her parents passed away, Qing'er has never left the Liu Mansion, so no one outside the world knows about her. But not long ago, some people appeared in the Liu Mansion and wanted to cling to the Luo family, so Liu Jingtian and his father
So, he actually took the initiative to tell Liu Qing to the Luo family." Liu Xi roared angrily.
"It's sad enough for a family to sell their daughters for glory and survive." Chu Yan finally understood all this.
"Why is the time set six months later?"
"There will be a fire pattern competition between the two families in half a year. When the time comes, if I can win, I will still have a chance to refuse this marriage." Liu Xi said seriously: "So I must work hard... Even if I know it is impossible, I
We will definitely defeat Luo Yu."
Chu Yan nodded and patted Liu Xi on the shoulder: "Practice hard and you will be able to do it."
"Is it really possible...!" Liu Xi laughed bitterly. Luo Yu was the second place in Lihuo Academy this time. There were 1,300 fire patterns, but he barely made it into the top 100. Is it really possible to defeat Luo Yu?
?
Chu Yan didn't say anything. After all, this matter was the Liu family's business, so he was not in a hurry to take care of it. But if Liu Xi opened his mouth, he thought he would be able to help. With the beautiful sound of the piano, he still hoped to be able to do so.
