The news of Shi Lei's awakening swept through the entire Qingyun County like a storm, causing a huge response. A twelve-year-old child actually defeated the middle martial artist. Everyone knew what this meant. Those forces that had betrayed the Stone Clan became uneasy. , and those who stayed were very happy for their choice.
The Stone Clan has been very busy these days. Everyone came to congratulate Master Shi on his awakening. Of course, some of them came uninvited. They mainly wanted to confirm whether the news was reliable. When they saw the white-haired Shi Lei, they felt a trace of luck in their hearts. Finally, he was disillusioned and left in despair. Looking at the backs of these people, a trace of ridicule flashed across Shi Tian's lips.
…
"That bastard boy is really awake?" Shen Jie asked with a dark face.
"Reporting to the family leader, I can see it with my own eyes. It is indeed Shi Lei who has woken up." A person standing next to him quickly replied.
"I understand, go and notify the elders and hold an elders' meeting." Shen Jing waved her hand impatiently.
In the Yan family, the same scene was happening.
In the Shi family courtyard, everyone saw off the last batch of guests, and Shi Tian quietly called Shi Tian to the study.
"Lei'er, I called you here today. One is about the poison, and the other is about your safety." Shi Tian looked a little serious, "Although you are awake, the poison has not been eliminated and the danger is still there. If you feel any discomfort, tell us immediately in case something unexpected happens. Secondly, your appearance will definitely make the hostile forces led by the Yan and Shen families feel threatened, and they will find ways to remove you, so don't go out alone. If there is anything you can do, let others go. manage."
"Dad, although I am not strong enough to force out the poisonous gas, I have found a way to restrain it, which is to freeze it with the cold air of thousands of years of ice marrow. There should be no danger in a few years. The second point, I may not be able to agree to." Shi Lei thought deeply and said.
"Why?" Shi Tian looked puzzled.
"Because I want to stay away from Qingyun County and go out to practice and improve my strength." Shi Lei answered simply.
"But you can practice in the clan, and it can also provide excellent training conditions, so why go out."
"Dad, if I follow my normal cultivation speed in the clan, I'm afraid it will take decades to reach the level of a military commander. Do I have to stay cooped up in the clan all these years?"
"But, Lei'er, where are you going?"
"There is a place where you can practice fire magic. I need to absorb the power of true fire to improve better." Shi Lei answered simply.
"The power of true fire? It seems that there is an elder in Lieyun Sect, a large sect in Yunzhou, who practices fire-based magic, and no one at the same level can match it." Shi Tian thought deeply for a while and suddenly remembered.
"Splitting Cloud Sect? Is there a way to get in?" Shi Lei's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"Split Cloud Sect is one of the three holy places for cultivation in Yunzhou. Unlike us martial arts families, they only focus on martial arts and do not interfere with secular business and the like. Because of the expensive tuition fees and the offerings from major families It is enough to meet the various expenses of the sect. There are many types of **, and it is a place of cultivation that many people yearn for. Disciples are recruited in Yunzhou every March, and every big family in Yunzhou will have a quota, except Those with extremely high talents have to pay tuition, but these people hardly need to take the assessment." Shi Tian thought for a while and said.
"Isn't it difficult to enter through the Lin family's channels?" After all, you have a quota. If you have the opportunity, of course you will consider your own children. Who would be so generous as to give up a quota to yourself.
"This will definitely be difficult to handle, but there is always a way. Let your mother go with you when the time comes, so that you can go see your grandpa. Your mother originally planned to go after the ring competition, but she didn't expect it to be postponed until now.
If it doesn't work, just take part in the public apprenticeship assessment. With my son's ability, I'm afraid they will all rush to get it." Shi Tian smiled, full of pride.
…
Ten days later, Lin Meng took several maids, rode the Qingyun Beast, and flew towards the Lin family under the escort of two elders.
"Dad, when will Xiaolei come back from this trip?" Qing'er looked at the Qingyun Beast getting smaller and smaller in the sky, and finally turned into a small black dot and disappeared from the field of vision.
"I'm not sure about this, but under the protection of your grandpa, there should be no problems." Shi Tian smiled, "And Lei'er has been prepared this time, so there won't be any problems on the way."
"Mom, can you take off this wig?" There were five people on top of the huge Qingyun Beast. One of them, a girl with an aggrieved face, looked helpless. She pulled her hair, and a few jewelry fell off.
He wiped his thick lipstick, causing several young girls next to him to laugh.
"Lei'er, don't be ridiculous. I'll remove your makeup after you get out of Qingyun County, otherwise it will be troublesome for people from the Yan and Shen families to recognize you." Lin Meng smiled and straightened Shi Lei's hair and put his jewelry back on neatly.
On the body of another Qingyun Beast, the second elder and the third elder sat cross-legged, carefully observing the surrounding movements with their spiritual consciousness.
In the Shen family, Shen Ji and Yan Hu were sitting together, discussing this with gloomy faces. Shi Lei's awakening suddenly disrupted their plans, and several factions had even left them and defected to the Stone Clan.
"The head of the family, Patriarch Yan, Lin Meng took a few girls, escorted by two elders, and flew towards Yunzhou in the Qingyun Beast, probably to visit relatives in the Lin family." A spy said.
"Is there any news about Shi Lei?" Shen Ji frowned and asked.
"I accidentally overheard a few juniors from the Shi family talking in low voices, saying that Shi Lei's evil has not been eliminated, and Shi Tian is busy helping Shi Lei suppress it in the secret room these days." The spy said happily, "Their voices
He is very small, and he is constantly observing his surroundings for fear of being overheard by others, so the news must be true."
"You did a good job, go to the warehouse to get ten silver coins." Shen Ji waved his hand and asked him to retreat.
"As expected, the evil poison cannot be eliminated by the Shi family. Even if Shi Lei wakes up, he won't be able to hold on for long." Shen Ji said loudly, feeling very good.
"If according to what you said, your Shen family's Three Evil Spears are really magic weapons, then it is impossible for Shi Lei to survive with his current strength, but I always feel that something is missing, and what is Lin Meng's intention in returning to the Lin family this time?
." Yan Hu said hesitantly.
"Do you think Lin Meng will go to the Lin family to bring in reinforcements? Wouldn't that put us in danger?" Shen Yan suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. The power of the Lin family was not comparable to that of the small Shen family.
"Lin Meng is just the daughter of the fifth elder of the Lin family. She is not a direct descendant, so she will not be taken seriously at all. Moreover, there are several other big families who are holding her back and do not dare to launch troops easily. Otherwise, we would not have survived until now.
Yan Hu took a sip of tea.
"Brother Yan has thought carefully. Haha, as long as Shi Lei dies, the strength of the Stone Clan will be greatly weakened, and the Guan family alone will never be our opponent. Qingyun County is our world." Shen Ji laughed.
road.
"Go down and pay attention to Shi Lei's movements at all times. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately!" Shen Jing ordered the men next to her.
…
The earth is golden and brilliant in autumn. Sitting on Qingyun Beast and looking down at the earth, a sense of heroism arises spontaneously.
On the third day, Shi Lei and others finally arrived in Yunzhou, and he himself returned to his original appearance, with his white hair flowing in the wind, and his strong body full of the beauty of power.
"We will be arriving at Lin's house soon. It has been five years since I came back to visit dad." Lin Meng said with emotion.
Half an hour later, Lin Meng and others stopped not far from the Lin family. The two elders returned to the Shi family with two Qingyun beasts. The vermilion door in front of them was more than two feet high, and the words "Lin Mansion" were shining in gold on the door plaque. On both sides stood two rows of purple-clad guards with swords, the lowest one was at the middle stage of martial arts. There were two huge sculptures of ferocious beasts at the door, which looked majestic.
"Stop! What do you do?" As soon as he walked to the door, a guard came over and asked.
"I am Lin Meng, the daughter of the fifth elder. Please go and report." Lin Meng said.
"It turns out to be Sister Lin Meng. I'm sorry, please wait." After saying that, he glanced at Shi Lei and others and walked straight into the door.
"This is Lin Meng. She was considered a great beauty among the many daughters in the family. I heard that it was a pity that she married into an inconspicuous power twenty years ago." One of the long-nosed guards said in a low voice.
"Look at the clothes of those people. They are really shabby. They are just country bumpkins. But no wonder Miss Lin. The fifth elder lineage is the weakest in the family. When big families marry, they will choose direct children, so, hey." The mouth guard sighed secretly.
"What you said is wrong. That was because someone was jealous of Miss Lin Meng before and said that on purpose. Miss Lin Meng had a great reputation in the past. Not only was she beautiful and kind-hearted, but she also inherited the fifth elder's soul-seeing skills. She was well-known among all the major families. There were many young talents in Zhongye who were crazy about pursuing her, but they were all rejected by Miss Lin Meng. It is said that she fell in love at first sight with a martial arts prodigy named Shi Tian at an auction, so she married him." One of the age The older guard said.
"What the hell, a member of a small family dares to call himself a martial arts prodigy? Hmph, don't talk nonsense here. Don't confuse the public by thinking that the Fifth Elder is kind to you." The long-nosed guard snorted coldly. Voice.
"That's right, the 13-14-year-old white-haired boy behind him should be Lin Meng's son. He is only a middle-level warrior. Does a martial arts prodigy have such a son? He is obviously a waste." Dazui's face was filled with disdain.
…
Although their voices were very low, both Shi Lei and Lin Meng vaguely heard them. Shi Lei clenched his fists, with anger flashing in his eyes, but he slowly relaxed his fists. This is the Lin family, a place where masters are like Lin. Anyone can kill you instantly, so you must learn to be patient.
How dare a little guard dare to be so presumptuous? It seems that his mother's life in this huge house was not very satisfactory. Shi Lei finally realized that this trip to Yunzhou was far more difficult than he imagined.
