Real game world: I am gifted and I suppress all monsters

At this time, Xuanyuan Sword Emperor stood respectfully in the outer courtyard of the ancestral hall, holding incense and paying respects, muttering something, mostly words of hope and comfort.

Behind him stood the two brothers, followed by Chen Qingzhou and the other two as honored guests, and then came many non-disciples led by Li Jianting and Fang Chu.

Everyone burned incense in turn, not only to commemorate the glory of their ancestors, but also to warn themselves, uphold the legacy, carry forward the Xuanyuan family, and protect the people.

Not long after, Chen Qingzhou walked to the front of the hall. He followed Xuanyuan Changqing's example and respectfully took three incense sticks.

He also had hope in his heart, and prayed sincerely and silently, "Disciple Chen Qingzhou, I am fortunate to be able to practice the exquisite martial arts of the predecessors in the Xuanyuan family. I hope that the predecessors will bless me. I will definitely be grateful and work harder to follow the will of the predecessors and protect Zhongzhou."

This is not empty talk. After all, if Zhongzhou falls, the game will be over, and there will be no money to be made.

Then he stepped aside and caught a glimpse of a solitary spirit tablet in the corner. There were no disciples worshipping at the tablet and no incense offerings. It looked very deserted.

He was a little curious and walked over quietly, only to see "The spirit of the unworthy descendant Xuanyuan Sword Emperor" written on the tablet.

"Xuanyuan Sword Emperor? Could he be the brother of the Xuanyuan family master? Why is no one interested in him?"

The ancestor worship ceremony lasted for more than an hour, and everyone gathered together for lunch. This was also a rare day in the year when hundreds of people from the Xuanyuan family gathered together.

Chen Qingzhou kept thinking about the mysterious spirit tablet, and went to Xuanyuan Changqing's room after dinner.

He knocked on the door, "Brother, are you there?"

Xuanyuan Changqing knew who it was as soon as he heard it, "Come in."

Chen Qingzhou pushed the door open and walked in, saying with a smile: "Senior Brother, long time no see!"

Xuanyuan Changqing had just finished worshipping his ancestors and was in a bad mood. "What are you talking about? How is your swordsmanship going?"

Chen Qingzhou tried to make him happy, "I used to see you every day, so I felt like a long time had passed since we last met. So I came to visit you! The Xuanyuan Dingtian Style is extremely exquisite, and I can only glimpse its essence at the moment!"

Xuanyuan Changqing nodded, "Don't be anxious, it is particularly important to lay a solid foundation. Don't I know you well enough? You wouldn't come to me if there was nothing wrong. Just tell me."

Chen Qingzhou pulled the corner of his mouth, not surprised, "Brother, I saw a special spirit tablet today, enshrined in a corner, no one worshipped it..."

Xuanyuan Changqing waved his hand to interrupt him and sighed, "That's my father's younger brother, my uncle."

"Ah? Really? Then why is he treated so coldly?"

Xuanyuan Changqing took a sip of strong tea, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, "This is a family shame, it should not be made public, but you are not an outsider, it doesn't matter if I tell you, you can keep it to yourself after hearing it."

Chen Qingzhou nodded seriously, determined to keep the secret no matter what and not let his senior brother down.

Xuanyuan Changqing said in a heavy tone, "It's a long story. My father's generation only had two brothers. My uncle is extremely talented in swordsmanship, and his skills even surpass my father's."

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhou was a little surprised. He had seen Xuanyuan Sword Emperor's skills. He was able to overwhelm everyone with just a simple try. He was even stronger than him. What level was that?

Xuanyuan Changqing continued, "Unfortunately, six years ago, my uncle was bewitched by a demon girl and wanted to defect to the demons. The whole family wanted him to give up his delusions and stop before it was too late, but he was stubborn and refused to change his mind. In the end, the family was implicated. Not only did the demons come to kill us, but some Zhongzhou warriors also came to cause trouble. We fought hard and suffered heavy casualties."

Chen Qingzhou listened with fascination, "What happened next? How did he die?"

Xuanyuan Changqing sighed again, "Later, my father took his eldest disciple Lu Tang and hundreds of other disciples to intercept him on the way to Nanmanzhou. My father tried to persuade him but to no avail, so he had no choice but to kill his own brother for the sake of justice."

Xuanyuan Changqing looked sad. The losses caused by the family infighting were the most heartbreaking.

He was silent for a while. "My uncle's swordsmanship was extremely advanced. He put up a desperate struggle and the young disciple was killed on the spot by the sword energy. Senior Brother Lu Tang had made great progress in his practice at the time. Although he managed to save his life, he was also seriously injured and fainted. My father had no choice but to kill him, but he also suffered internal injuries and had to rest for a whole year."

Chen Qingzhou's heart surged when he heard this, "I see, what about Senior Brother Lu? Why haven't I seen him before?"

Xuanyuan Changqing shook his head and said, "I was in Tianshan back then, and I heard all this from my father later. Senior Brother Lu was seriously injured, his hands and feet were crippled, and he has been recuperating in the back mountains, and has not seen outsiders."

Chen Qingzhou was surprised: "That's not right, Senior Brother. Since your uncle's cultivation level has surpassed Senior Xuanyuan, how could he lose?"

Xuanyuan Changqing recalled: "According to my father, my uncle practiced evil magic with the witch who bewitched him, which led to him becoming possessed and his power declining. It can be said that he brought about his own destruction."

Chen Qingzhou said with regret: "That senior Sword Emperor must have been a genius in the past. It is really sad to see him end up like this!"

"Yes, if uncle were still here, he could help us fight against all the monsters... Never mind, there are no ifs. You are still young, you must take this as a warning, and never trust those monsters easily, or you will ruin your life."

Chen Qingzhou thought of the past between Xuanyuan Changqing and Ximen Rufeng. He pondered for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "As a junior brother, I have something to say. Should I say it or not?"

Xuanyuan Changqing snorted, "You've already said it, how can I stop you from talking?"

Chen Qingzhou smiled and said, "Well... Senior Brother, you have a good family background, you have the ability, and you are also very handsome, why are you still alone?"

“Maybe no one wants it.”

Chen Qingzhou smirked, "You must be kidding! I saw it with my own eyes. That Yan family girl Bing even chased me to Tianshan Mountain."

Xuanyuan Changqing frowned slightly, "It is not a gentleman's behavior to talk about people behind their backs. Also, with your personality, didn't you find out anything during your visit to Beiting this time?"

Chen Qingzhou smiled and said, "I have heard some things, so I want to ask you for confirmation!"

Xuanyuan Changqing rolled his eyes at him, "What are you still asking for confirmation? Didn't you overhear it last time?"

Chen Qingzhou scratched his head and said, "That time I didn't hear a beginning or an end, and it was different from what I heard elsewhere!"

Xuanyuan Zhangqing was unusually nervous, "Who...did you hear that from? Ru, Rufeng?"

Chen Qingzhou shook his head. "Senior Brother Ximen didn't want to say it at all. It was Senior Brother Dongfang who told me."

Xuanyuan Changqing remained silent, and only his heavy breathing could be heard.

"Is he okay?"

Chen Qingzhou was also very nervous, fearing that he might offend Xuanyuan Changqing. Seeing that he was not angry, he quickly said, "It's OK. Senior Brother Ximen is quite approachable and his cultivation is also impressive."

Xuanyuan Changqing nodded slowly, "He has been resourceful since he was young. Although his temper is a bit extreme, his talent is beyond reproach."

Chen Qingzhou thought about Zui Jian Chong Xiao and Lei Xing Shuang Mai and nodded.

After bidding farewell to the silent Xuanyuan Changqing, Chen Qingzhou immediately rushed to the eastern part of the Stone Forest. After a while, the two self-disciplined maniacs were already sweating profusely.
