Tsundere Xiaoshou is a genius
Chapter 58: Talking
The decoration in the villa is not as quaint as Roland thought, but rather modern, perhaps because of Zhou Lanxu, the wallpaper and furniture in the room all have a lively atmosphere of young people, and the bright colors and contrasting colors in the room are extremely obvious.
Obviously, after going through a lot of tossing, even the tables and chairs are specially customized, the stairs are black floors, covered with a thin layer of light yellow soft paralysis, the handles are brown, and from time to time you can see a Panlong with teeth and claws .
There are group photos of the three generations hanging on the wall, and the stories of almost ten years are all sealed in photos witnessing their growth.The light green sofas are round and irregularly arranged on the brown floor, and the blue cushions gently support the transparent and elegant small table. The tea on the table is already curling up with white smoke.
"Boy from the Luo family! Come on, sit down!" Mr. Zhou's hair and beard were slightly white, and he had a kind and approachable attitude.
Roland simply looked at it, and let go of the big stone in his heart.Putting on a smile politely, Roland nodded slightly: "Hi, old man, I'm Roland." After speaking, he found a small soft chair that he liked, and naturally sat on it.
Mr. Zhou watched the whole process with a smile, and asked again: "I wonder what Luo boy would like to drink? Young people like to drink cocktails, why don't I get them for you?"
Roland shook his head slightly, "No need, just drink tea." He was not being polite, but he seldom drank alcohol, and he had learned so many lessons, so he naturally didn't want to repeat the past.Besides, Shen Lingduan had clearly warned him not to touch alcohol.However, they should be in a state of cold war now, right?
"That's all right, boy Luo, just drink tea with me!" Mr. Zhou smiled and gestured to Qing He, and Qing He immediately refilled the red cocktail in the glass in front of Roland.
"Grandpa" are you deaf?Of course, Roland didn't have the courage to say this, but his face was full of helplessness, and he couldn't figure out what Mr. Zhou was thinking for a while.
"Haha, don't be polite to me, young man! Whether it's courage or capacity for alcohol, you have to practice!" Old Man Zhou raised his eyebrows and drank the tea in his hand.
Hearing Mr. Zhou's unclear words, Roland could only sigh softly, and drank all the bright red cocktail in his glass.And Qing He beside him nodded and helped him continue.
Slowly raising his eyes, Roland's gray eyes flashed a few strands of dark gray mist, and his red lips were slightly raised, "The old man said so."
Mr. Zhou stared at Roland for a while, seemed to be taken aback, then shook his head and smiled, "Sure enough, it's young people's world now."
Roland raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said with a smile: "For some reason, the old men of your generation like to test the juniors first before talking about the real issue. Could it be a contagious disease?" If you want to ask Roland why he dared to say such bold words, That's really thanks to Mr. Zhou's words just now and that glass of wine.
As soon as it entered his throat, Roland knew that it was not a cocktail, but after tasting it carefully, it was more like a mellow fruit wine, more precious and delicious.But the degree is unknown, and I don't know if I can drink more.
Seeing what Roland was thinking, Mr. Zhou rolled his eyes, and suddenly looked more down-to-earth. "Can I still harm you? This is fruit wine that can prolong life!"
Seeing that his mind was broken, Roland didn't panic, but blinked his eyes ignorantly, "What is the old man talking about?" By the way, he swallowed the fruit wine in the glass, and couldn't help but admire: "It tastes really good."
Roland had no doubt that this wine could prolong life. When he drank it, Roland only thought of one thing, which was the good spring in Qingshan Village.With just two small cups, Roland could feel that his spiritual power seemed to freeze a lot.It's just that good wine is good, but you can't drink too much, so as not to hurt your body.
Mr. Zhou was quiet for a long time before he spoke again: "I know you came here because of the two children Lan Xu and Zhengjun, but I don't know where they are now." Sorrowful, slightly white eyebrows are also wrinkled together.
"Don't you know?" Roland muttered to himself, closing his eyelids.
In this way, the correct positions of Zhou Lanxu and Fu Zhengjun still cannot be determined, and they don't even know their approximate positions.After carefully recalling the fluctuation chart of the supernatural beings that Lan Xianxian had shown him before, Roland could basically remember a few group gathering points of supernatural powers, but there were quite a few differences.
Seeing Roland bowing his head in thought, Mr. Zhou called Qing He, and soon Qing He came up with an antique small wooden tray.
"Boy Luo! Look at this." Mr. Zhou gently lifted the black cloth on the wooden plate, so that Roland could see inside.
"It is. Roland opened his eyes wide, looking surprised.
In the recess of the wooden plate lay two small wooden plaques of different shapes but equally exquisite. The names of Zhou Lanxu and Fu Zhengjun were engraved in the center of the wooden plaques.If you look closely, the fonts are all different.There is a red thread tied under the wooden sign, and the red thread emits a slight red light and a blue light respectively, leading straight to the recesses of their respective names.
Mr. Zhou looked at Zhou Lanxu's wooden sign and smiled very kindly, and answered Roland's question: "This is the fate sign of the two of them. Since the day they disappeared, I have taken Zhengjun's sign from the Fu family. Put it together with Lan Xu's life card, so it's convenient to take care of it."
Roland touched the wooden sign lightly with his fingertips, and asked again: "So, as long as the life sign displayed here is not extinguished, both Zhou Lanxu and Fu Zhengjun are safe?"
Mr. Zhou covered the wooden plate and asked Qing He to take it away, and replied with a smile: "It can be said that. And the light of the life card also represents their mental state. You also know that as long as our gifted people are different from ordinary people As long as the mental power still exists, there is a possibility of survival."
Recalling Zhou Lanxu's ignorance in the face of these explanations, Roland couldn't help frowning and asked, "Then why haven't you mentioned the supernatural power to her? She doesn't seem to be very clear, but she knows that she has checked other people since she was a child. mental ability."
Mr. Zhou shook his head slightly, "We decided a long time ago that we will tell you all frankly when you have to take responsibility when you are adults. Who would have thought that before we found you, fate would find you one step ahead .”
Lowering his eyes, Mr. Zhou continued: "The training since childhood is also to lay the foundation for everything you will face when you grow up. The Shen family boy and Nian Ze were smart since they were young, so they were sent to the mountains to practice ancient martial arts. They belonged to different sects. The direction of the two people's practice is not the same, which is naturally more conducive to forming their own moves. These two people awakened earlier."
"As for the boy from the Liu family, he has been very shrewd since he was a child. It is his pleasure to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. He is sensitive and will soon know the difference between himself and others. Although the old man Liu didn't mention it to him, it is also The capable people from the dark side helped him lay the foundation and straighten his mentality. On the contrary, you have known this since childhood."
Mr. Zhou analyzed several people one by one, and when he talked about Roland, he summed it up in one sentence, obviously not wanting to puncture his sore spot.
"Why don't I want Lan Xu to live a happy life like an ordinary little princess, but you are destined to be different from birth, so you must have the power to protect yourself! Fortunately, Lan Xu has been considerate of me since she was a child, and she has a clear mind. You quarreled with me." The expression on Mr. Zhou's face when he said this could only be described as extremely complicated, and Roland immediately understood what he meant.
Zhou Lanxu said, he would definitely not do things that waste his energy such as arguing with others, at most he would do a few bad things.For example, the tea leaves that Mr. Zhou loved were smashed, the room was demolished, and Mr. Zhou's hair was pulled out, that's all.
When Roland thought about it a few more times, he couldn't help shivering, so he looked at Mr. Zhou with more sympathy. "So, it's not just the descendants of the Four Ancients who have supernatural powers?"
One for Nian Ze, one for Fu Zhengjun, and one for Yan Wensen. Aren't they all from the Four Ancients?
Mr. Zhou refilled the wine for Roland himself, and replied: "Indeed. The power of the imperial capital is not as simple as it seems. In addition to the four ancient and thirteen families, there are still several hermit families. The Nian family and the Fu family are among them. In comparison, the Thirteen Families are really nothing, they are indeed just nobles on the surface, not as deep as the Four Ancients and the Hermit Families."
Mr. Zhou pushed the wine glass in front of Roland, motioning for him to drink it all up. He didn't continue until he saw Roland swallow it obediently. They each have their own roles. Originally, they shouldn’t appear in the imperial capital to monopolize the power of China, but human wars are frequent, and few families are as indifferent and ambitious as they evolved early. If they are allowed to develop, I’m afraid they want to find a safe place It's all gone."
Roland blinked, "So you divided the labor and kept the peace in China?"
"Otherwise, what do you think? We were standing at a weak point in that world war. How could we easily turn defeat into victory? It was just the addition of gifted and supernatural beings that changed the situation of the battle. But we still don’t know where we belong.” After talking about it, Mr. Zhou couldn’t help but sigh.
Digesting all that Mr. Zhou said, Roland frowned, "How many hidden families are there? Where is Nian's family?" For so many years, he had never heard Nian Ze mention his family.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhou shook his head, "I don't know exactly how many hidden families there are. Probably the Nian family and the Fu family we have made friends with and know. As for the Nian family...the family is now extinct."
"Genocide? Why?" Roland couldn't help exclaiming.A powerful hermit family, can it be said that it will be destroyed immediately?
Mr. Zhou sighed slowly, and said, "The method of exterminating the clan seems to be related to the cause of your parents' death."
Roland took a deep breath, but his eyes started to turn cold, "You mean, whether it's the death of my parents or the demise of the Nianze family, it's all related to this mysterious research team?" Good, very good!
"This research team seems to have been around for a long time, as if it appeared out of thin air. But speaking of it, they don't seem to be simple, and their inheritance is definitely not less than 1000 years. It should be a remnant of some sect!" Mr. Zhou also had a cold expression on his face. Obviously also extremely disgusted with this research team.
"Does the old man know the name of this research team?" Roland held the empty teacup in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Mr. Zhou seems to have recalled it for a long time, back to 20 years ago, back to that night as usual, that strange pattern that appeared in the room.
Obviously, after going through a lot of tossing, even the tables and chairs are specially customized, the stairs are black floors, covered with a thin layer of light yellow soft paralysis, the handles are brown, and from time to time you can see a Panlong with teeth and claws .
