First Summoner

Half an hour later, the carriage left the imperial city and stopped two hundred meters away from Lingyan Forest. Despite this, there were still many people in the same position watching the current situation of Lingyan Forest.

Shen Yan lifted the gauze curtain and saw many people standing around, including dignitaries, ordinary people and casual cultivators.

That's fine, she won't be very conspicuous here.

Hongri asked humbly: "Miss, do you want to go out and take a look?"

Shen Yan nodded lightly. After she got out of the carriage, she looked up at the outskirts of Lingyan Forest. What surprised her was that there were layers and layers of soldiers outside the Lingyan Forest. They were densely packed, let alone entering openly. , even digging a tunnel in the ground won’t work.

Soldiers from the nine countries guarded together.

Shen Yan realized one thing, his eyes dimmed, that is, Qiu Tianzong was really powerful, enough to dominate many countries.

Hongri stood beside Shen Yan, a little shocked, and exclaimed: "Before the people from Qiu Tianzong arrived, nine countries had already sent troops to garrison. It seems that the nine countries attach great importance to this competition..."

Yinyue said: "That's for sure. After all, everyone wants to climb the big tree of Qiu Tianzong."

Everyone around was also talking about it.

"I heard that for this competition, geniuses trained in nine countries will come to participate. The competition is very fierce!"

“The geniuses of our Nanxiao Kingdom include Prince Nangong Jin, Summoning Family Shen Xue, Crown Prince Nangong Yu, Lingzhi Family Lu Shaohuai, and Chen Family Chen Nanqing, etc. They will definitely not lose to other countries. It’s really exciting! "

"I don't know what it will be compared to?"

"It should have something to do with Lingyan Forest, right? I heard that registration is now open..."

"..."

Listening to the words of the people around him, Shen Yan frowned slightly.

It is too difficult to break through the siege quietly and go to Lingyan Forest. If these soldiers had no spiritual power, she could definitely sneak in, but the reality was cruel?

Did she really have to wait until the competition held by Qiu Tianzong was over before entering?

If someone else gets the blood-devouring bead by mistake, she will lose the chance to get the blood-devouring bead.

She thought of Feng Xingyao. She secretly contacted Jiuzhuan and asked Jiuzhuan to convey her words to him on her behalf.

Within the supernatural space.

Jiuzhuan trotted to Feng Xingyao and said with a smile: "Zun...ahem, master wants to ask you, can you take her quietly into Lingyan Forest? She can promise you a condition, she will not let you The one who suffers.”

Feng Xingyao raised his eyes slightly and said in a nonchalant tone: "Unfortunately, I am already a useless person and cannot be taken care of."

When Jiuzhuan heard this, his face was shocked. He was about to ask something, but the man in red looked at him with a half-smile.

Jiuzuan is scared, shut up.

Immediately, Jiu Zhuan crossed his arms in dissatisfaction, snorted coldly, and then conveyed Feng Xingyao's words to Shen Yan.

"Okay." Shen Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she already had another decision in her heart.

She decided to participate in the competition held by Qiu Tianzong and sneak into Lingyan Forest.

Now that she had decided to leave, she didn't want to stay here, so she said to Hongri and Yinyue: "Go back."

"Yes, ma'am."

...

Outside the Shen family.

After Shen Yan got off the carriage, she looked up and saw that the Shen family was decorated with lanterns and decorations, as if something festive was about to be held.

She tilted her head and asked Hongri: "Is there any happy event in the Shen family recently?"

Hearing this, Hongri thought about it and immediately smiled and said to Shen Yan, "Miss, your fifteenth birthday will be in three days."

At this time, Yin Yue's face changed slightly, and she immediately tugged Hong Ri's clothes secretly with her hands. When Hong Ri looked over, she shook her head solemnly.

Hongri still didn't know why, she looked at Yinyue doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

Yinyue was extremely annoyed: "..."

But Shen Yan pointed it out directly: "It was not done for me, but Shen Xue."

Her and Shen Xue's birthdays are only one day apart, and Shen Xue is one day earlier than her.

As soon as these words came out, Hongri's face turned pale. She knelt down in fear, lowered her head and begged for mercy: "Miss, I didn't mean this."

"Get up, don't kneel." Shen Yan's tone was gentle, and she leaned over to help Hongri up.

Hongri was like a child who had done something wrong, with tears welling up in her eyes due to guilt and anxiety. She bit her lip and said, "Miss, I really didn't mean this!"

"I don't blame you."

Shen Yan didn't care about this matter. The original owner's birthday was regarded as shameful by the Shen family, but Shen Xue's birthday was taken seriously by everyone in the Shen family.

In fact, when her younger brother Shen Huai is at home, everyone in the Shen family will celebrate his birthday grandly, and they will also accompany her.

but……

In the past fifteen years, Shen Huai spent at least eight of his birthdays outside for training and could not return to the Shen family, so even Shen Yan's birthday was deliberately ignored by the Shen family.

And Shen Xue's birthday party is held every year.

Originally, Shen Tianhao also wanted to organize a birthday party for the original owner, but the head of the Shen family and many elders dissuaded him: Don't be extravagant and wasteful. Huai'er is not at home anyway, and Xue'er and Yan'er's birthdays are only one day apart, and the two sisters are on the same day. Wouldn't it be enough to have a birthday party? Let's just schedule the birthday party on Xueer's birthday, so that we can invite guests.

Shen Tianhao also understood the hidden meanings of many elders.

Even if Yan'er holds a birthday party, I'm afraid no guests will come, and she will definitely shirk it and refuse to come.

Because in the eyes of most people in Nanxiao Kingdom, Shen Yan is an unlucky existence. There is also a rumor that they are twins of a twin brother and a phoenix, with the elder sister being a bad star and the younger brother being a lucky star.

At that time, Shen Tianhao thought that Shen Xue and Yan'er were like sisters, and Shen Xue took good care of Yan'er, so he was willing to nod in agreement.

Yinyue cautiously suggested: "Miss, now that the young master is back, if you want a birthday party, you can also mention it to the young master."

"No need."

Shen Yan was not interested.

...

As soon as Shen Yan returned to Xicuiyuan, after having lunch, he wanted to go into the room to practice the 'Meteor Fire Fist' technique, but a boy came in a hurry.

"Second young lady, the master of the house invites you."

Shen Yan's eyes were indifferent. She slowly turned to look at the boy and asked, "Do you know what it is?"

The boy's attitude was quite respectful: "I don't know."

When Hong Ri and Yin Yue saw this, they immediately became worried about Shen Yan. They had a gut feeling that it would not be a good thing.

"Ah."

Shen Yan responded softly, and then asked the maid Hongri to follow her.

Soon, Shen Yan followed the boy to the main hall in the front yard. The old man in the high position was full of energy, his eyes were as sharp as a blade. He put his hands on the crutches, and he had an aura of calmness and authority.

Shen Yan walked to the middle of the main hall.

Stop and look up at him.

Shen Yan did not speak, and the two of them were in a stalemate. In such an atmosphere, the grandmother and housekeeper who were waiting on the side were trembling in their hearts.

The head of the Shen family suddenly said: "Since you are here, why don't you call someone?"
