Big brother, he is frail

Since Shen Xizhou was sensible, the number of times he went to the dining hall to eat can be counted on one hand.The dining room is the place where the immediate family members of the Shen family eat together. Apart from Mr. Shen, several of his sons and their wives are also there, and no one has any kindness towards Shen Xizhou.

There must be nothing good for Mr. Shen to call Shen Xizhou over.

The original plan was to visit his parents at home and then leave. One thing more is worse than one thing less. Shen Xizhou didn't want to meet Mr. Shen face to face.

But the person who broke into the door suddenly didn't give up, and was a little angry: "Shen Xizhou, don't think that you are so great just because you entered the Lingyun Sect. Old Shen said that as long as your surname is Shen, you must not treat Shen The whole family is presumptuous!"

Seeing that his clothes don't have a high status, this person should be a messenger, quoting old master Shen's words to put on a show, pretending to be a tiger.What he said was only half right. In the Immortal Cultivation Continent, people really valued clan relations, and those who were forced to leave the clan would have no affiliation.But Shen Xizhou didn't care about the name of the Shen family.

If Shen's father and Shen's mother were not still here, Shen Xizhou would never have come back.

Lu Xinglan put a piece of meat into Shen Xizhou's bowl, and said, "This tastes good, eat more, seeing how thin you are."

Shen Xizhou nodded and said, "Thank you, big brother."

The two returned to a harmonious atmosphere again, completely ignoring the people on the side, making the popularity choked.He still wanted to speak, but was stopped by the person behind him. Turning around, it turned out to be Mr. Shen.

Mr. Shen has gray hair all over his head, his face is wrinkled, and he looks a little old. His eyes are sharp and sharp, and he has a severe and unkind personality.He was dressed in gorgeous silk with gold thread trimming, and he had an aura of local tyrants rushing towards his face.What attracted the most attention was the cane in his hand. It was carved out of unknown wood. The head of the cane was actually carved into the image of a monster that looked like a dragon or a snake. The monster opened its mouth wide and held a huge golden spar in its mouth. Glittering in the sun.

It is said that the spar is the heirloom of the Shen family, and it is usually held by Mr. Shen in his hands, and he never leaves it.

But isn't Mr. Shen supposed to be at the dining room? Why did he come here! ?

"Shen, Mr. Shen, are you here?" The man nodded and bowed, quickly retreated behind Mr. Shen, and lowered his head.

Mr. Shen raised his eyebrows and said, "I told you to call them, and that's how you do things? Fortunately, I'm here, what if I offend the immortal?"

"?"

What's the situation... Lu Xinglan looked left and right, but he didn't see anyone who could be called an immortal, not even his master Jing Hongyun could be called an "immortal".That is the title that only immortal cultivators can get after ascending to the fairy world.

Although he had a premonition about who Old Master Shen was talking about, when he cast his gaze on himself, Lu Xinglan still raised his eyebrows.

Hey, the Immortal Venerable is not barking, okay? Some people who bluffed and deceived under the banner of the Immortal Venerable were all punished by Heaven.I don't know if Mr. Shen did it on purpose, but Lu Xinglan hurriedly stopped him from calling him again.

"The title of Xianzun can't be said casually, it will affect the cultivation base."

"But you will definitely be in the immortal class in the future, won't you?" Old Man Shen chuckled, not caring much about it.

"..." I really don't like this old man, Lu Xinglan thought helplessly.But he also understood why Mr. Shen wanted Shen Xizhou to go to the dining room for dinner. He probably recognized Lu Xinglan who was traveling with him and wanted to hook him up.

Lu Xinglan is the most famous disciple of Lingyun Sect, and he has a bright future. Even if he just knows him well, it will benefit the Shen family a lot.Mr. Shen, who knows this truth well, can't let go of this benefit.

However, he also saw the interaction between Lu Xinglan and Shen Xizhou just now, and he didn't expect that Shen Xizhou would be able to curry favor with someone like Lu Xinglan, so he was more calculating.Looking at the dishes on the table, Mr. Shen said: "What's the point of eating these small dishes? Daoist Lu, I just asked someone to make some precious delicacies. Among them is a kind of rare spirit beast meat, which cannot be bought with money." That kind. If you don’t dislike it, how about going to the restaurant to taste it?”

Lu Xinglan smiled lightly, but said mercilessly: "Sorry, I just like to eat this kind of light side dishes, but I'm not used to eating big fish and meat..." After a pause, Lu Xinglan continued, "But... …It’s not impossible to go and have a look.”

Hearing this, Shen Xizhou raised his eyes to look at Lu Xinglan, and Lu Xinglan quietly blinked at him, his eyes were full of cunning.Shen Xizhou immediately understood what Lu Xinglan had in mind.

Seeing that Lu Xinglan accepted the invitation, Mr. Shen frowned happily, and stretched out his hand to invite Lu Xinglan to go forward.Shen Xizhou and Shen Wenrong also got up and went to the dining hall together.Before leaving, Lu Xinglan felt sorry for Shen Xizhou's hard-cooked dishes, and it was probably cold when he came back.

Seeing this, Shen Xizhou said softly: "If you want to eat, I will make it for you."

"Okay!" Lu Xinglan nodded.

Shen Wenrong's residence was not close to the dining hall, but they relied on their spiritual power to speed up their pace, walking like flying, and arrived at their destination in a short while.The person who just delivered the message was left far behind. The gap between immortal cultivators and ordinary people can be seen.

The dining room of the Shen family is a hall with a unique decoration. A chandelier hangs on the ceiling of the hall, like a lotus flower in full bloom, layer by layer. Each petal is glowing with fire, making the whole space very bright.There is a long mahogany table in the middle, and there are seats next to it, which can seat about [-] people.Decorations such as ceramics, sculptures, and hanging paintings are placed on the edge of the dining room, each of which is a precious item that has been passed down far and wide.

For ordinary people, the decoration here is quite luxurious.Lu Xinglan couldn't help but think of his own school, every place is extremely simple, without too many ornate decorations to show its style.Ling Yunzong has no money to decorate?That's impossible, it's just that immortal cultivators have long since left behind enjoying such mundane things, and what they pursue is even more ambitious.

There were several other people present, both male and female.Without Mr. Shen's introduction, Lu Xinglan could guess their identities.

Those three men were undoubtedly Shen Wenrong's younger brothers, and the others were their wives and children.As soon as Lu Xinglan and the others entered the dining room, they looked over here with unclear meaning in their eyes.A looming house fighting atmosphere made Lu Xinglan's temples bulge.It was really hard work for Shen Xizhou to grow up in such an atmosphere.

Lu Xinglan picked a seat at random and sat down. The middle-aged man sitting across from him immediately stood up, poured a glass of wine for Lu Xinglan, and said, "Daoist Lu, this is wine made from chilian fruits. You can try it." look."

"I don't drink." Lu Xinglan waved his hand.

Elder Shen stroked his beard at the side, thinking of various ways to attack Lu Xinglan.But every time Lu Xinglan smiled lightly and then refused, which made them unable to do anything.

"Grandpa, I want to eat that meat~" A soft voice suddenly sounded, and it was only then that Lu Xinglan noticed that there was a child under the opposite table.Because the table was too high, the child only showed a little of the top of his head, but Lu Xinglan didn't see it.

Mr. Shen showed a smile, picked up the child, and sat on his lap.His innocent eyes stared straight at the spirit beast in front of Lu Xinglan, and his little hands kept grabbing the air.Mr. Shen touched the child's head, and said lovingly, "I'll eat it later."

His benevolent appearance seemed like an ordinary old man.

Lu Xinglan pushed the plate to the middle of the table, and said, "I don't want to eat this, let him eat it. But children should eat less, otherwise the body won't be able to withstand the spiritual energy in the spirit beast meat, and there will be sequelae."

The child understood Lu Xinglan's words, and let out a happy cry, grabbed the spirit beast meat and stuffed it into his mouth, narrowing his eyes.

"Well, Daoist Lu, do you think Yu'er has the qualifications to go to Lingyun Sect?" Old Master Shen asked suddenly.

Lu Xinglan froze for a moment, he didn't expect Mr. Shen to ask such a question.

This child seems to be the grandson of Mr. Shen, the youngest son of his fourth son.Children are innocent, lively and lovely, and they are indeed lovable.But when Shen Xizhou was so young, did the people here show even a little warmth to him?

Lu Xinglan took a look at the child's aptitude, it was very average, not the kind of genius Mr. Shen expected, and Mr. Shen must be able to see it himself.But maybe it's because I'm old and I'm nostalgic for relatives.Even if the juniors don't have much talent, they should be more attentive to them.But he is still indifferent to Shen Xizhou as usual, this indifference has become accustomed and cannot be changed.

From the time they met to now, Mr. Shen has not said a word to Shen Xizhou and Shen Wenrong.

This obvious prejudice made Lu Xinglan a little distressed.But maybe he was thinking too much, Shen Xizhou had been eating quietly since entering the hall, and he didn't show much emotion.

Lu Xinglan was silent for a long time, which made Mr. Shen feel a little uneasy.

In the end, Lu Xinglan shook his head and commented pertinently: "If this kid works hard, he can only stop at the late stage of the Qi refining stage. If he meets a big opportunity in the future, he can improve a little bit."

What Lu Xinglan meant was that he was not the child's chance, and there was nothing he could do to help.Opportunities can come and go, that is to say, this child will probably be confined to the small city of Pingcheng for the rest of his life, not even reaching the threshold of the Lingyun Sect.

"Daoist Lu, just take a look, what can you see? My Yu'er is very smart, and she must be talented in cultivating immortals!" A woman said, seemingly not satisfied with Lu Xinglan's conclusion.

Lu Xinglan sneered: "I'm pretty accurate at seeing people, believe it or not."

"But..." The woman wanted to say something else.

Mr. Shen suddenly patted the table, which startled her: "I'm talking to Daoist Lu, don't interrupt!"

The woman shivered and stopped talking.Mr. Shen put the child on the ground and touched his head again. The child ran over and threw himself into the woman's arms.

This was the end of the unpleasant episode. Mr. Shen scrambled to eat. The dishes were many times richer than Shen Xizhou's, but Lu Xinglan ate absent-mindedly.On the other hand, Shen Xizhou looked normal, completely ignoring the existence of other people, and would occasionally pick up some food for Lu Xinglan and Shen Wenrong.

Lu Xinglan ate the food Shen Xizhou picked up, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his mood was much better than before.

Seeing such a change in Lu Xinglan, the others showed strange expressions and looked at each other.

Although Lu Xinglan and Shen Xizhou were traveling together, they really did not expect the relationship between the two to be so good.Would ordinary seniors be so close to ordinary seniors?

Shen Xizhou is just a piece of trash, why did he get Lu Xinglan's favor?The woman holding Yu'er was a little angry and wronged, and hurriedly winked at her husband.Shen Si received his wife's order, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said eccentrically: "Xizhou, I haven't seen my fourth uncle for several months, and I didn't even say hello, isn't it too disrespectful to me?"

"..." Shen Xizhou raised his eyes and looked at Shen Si, those calm eyes actually made him break out in cold sweat.

Shen Si shook his head, only thinking that he felt wrong, and tentatively said: "The past few months have been good in Lingyunzong? You even got to know someone like Taoist Lu, you are quite capable."

"Xi Zhou is really powerful." Lu Xinglan said with a smile.

"Ah?" Shen Si didn't know why.He just wanted to ask how the relationship between Shen Xizhou and Lu Xinglan was.

Lu Xinglan put one hand on Shen Xizhou's shoulder, looked at everyone, and said, "Huh? Haven't you heard of it?" He showed an expression of disbelief.

"what?"

Mr. Shen waved his hand, signaled for others to be quiet, and then said: "To be honest, Lingyunzong is too far away from Pingcheng, and we don't have much contact with Xizhou, so we don't know about him in Lingyunzong... dare to ask What are you talking about?"

This excuse is really poor.Pingcheng is under the jurisdiction of Lingyunzong, how far can it go?If you want to get in touch, you can get in touch in a day or two if you are slow, but it will only be an instant if you are fast.

But if you don’t know, you don’t know. It’s not too late to know now.

There was a look of admiration on Lu Xinglan's face: "Xi Zhou is my favorite junior. He entered Lingyun Sect with No. 1 score in the entrance examination, not only won the affirmation of many elders, but also was seen by my master. In the middle, he became his fourth true disciple. Who in the Lingyun Sect sees Xizhou now and doesn’t call him Fourth Senior Brother?"

For a while, there was no sound in the dining hall.Except for the sound of Yu'er, who didn't understand why the adults didn't talk anymore, eating the meat of the spirit beast.

Lu Xinglan tilted his head and said in surprise: "You really don't know? Xizhou, you don't tell your family about such an important matter."

Shen Xizhou said lightly: "It's not a big deal."

Lu Xinglan smiled and said, "Ha, yes."

pat.

I don't know whose bowl fell to the ground.

Shen Xizhou, the fourth senior brother of Lingyun Sect?How can it be.They looked at Shen Xizhou with disbelief in their eyes.

"Ah, by the way, Xi Zhou is now in the early stage of the Golden Core Stage. But he's only 20 years old, and he's entered the Golden Core Stage. I can't even compare to that." Lu Xinglan suddenly made another stab.

Mr. Shen's hands trembled.

In the foundation building stage that he could not reach, Shen Xizhou had already entered the golden core stage.

"Impossible, Shen Xizhou just built the foundation a few months ago, who can cross a whole big realm in just a few months?"

"So, this is also where Junior Brother Shen excels."

Lu Xinglan picked up a piece of meat nonchalantly and put it in his mouth.The flesh of the spirit beast melted in the mouth, and the looming spiritual power diffused along the throat to the body, but this spiritual energy disappeared without a trace after spinning around in Lu Xinglan's body.

In addition, the taste and texture are very ordinary, so Lu Xinglan has no interest in spirit beast meat.

It's better to go back and eat the dishes made by Xizhou.

"Thank you for your hospitality, I will leave first."

Lu Xinglan got up, saw Shen Xizhou nodded to him, and left the dining room with peace of mind.

After a long time, Shen Xizhou and Shen Wenrong came out of the dining room.

"How about it?"

Shen Wenrong looked very happy: "I really didn't expect Xizhou to be so powerful now, and his brother will definitely be very pleasantly surprised when he finds out."

Shen Xizhou nodded and said, "It's over."

The end not only refers to the end of the meal, but also the end of their relationship with the Shen family.

At some point, the child who was bullied in Shen's family had left those who bullied him behind.They are no longer the same.Shen Xizhou had no nostalgia for the Shen family, so he made the only request to the Shen family since he was born.

That is to agree with Shen's father and Shen's mother to leave the Shen family.

Of course they were not forced to be dismissed, they were the Shen family who left openly.It turned out that Shen's father and Shen's mother stayed at Shen's house even though they were treated coldly by Mr. Shen because Mr. Shen did not allow them to leave and did not allow them to leave.

They couldn't refuse Shen Xizhou's request.

Mr. Shen also wanted to persuade him to stay, but he couldn't reach out.Sometimes it is really possible to take other people for granted and forget that they are blood relatives.Whether it is Shen Wenrong or Shen Xizhou.

Looking back many years ago, I still had hope for my eldest son.He is also like an ordinary father, holding his child and laughing without any worries.But later, with the growing power of the Shen family, that pure emotion went nowhere.Every day, the thought is which child is the most suitable heir.

If you don't listen to him and marry the eldest son of an ordinary woman, it is naturally impossible for him to inherit the Shen family's family business, even if he is the best of the four sons...

Anyway, it's too late to say anything now.

Now that it's out of the way, there is no reason to stay in the Shen family.

Shen Wenrong only left with Shen's mother and took nothing with him.Shen Xizhou rented a carriage for them.This horse is a hybrid of the same kind of spirit beast. It is fast, stable and safe.After Shen Xizhou put the sleeping mother Shen into the bed in the carriage, Shen Wenrong also got into the carriage.He was going to take Shen's mother to see Shen Xizhou's elder brother, and if there were no accidents, he would settle down there.

"To be honest, I'm still too indecisive. Because I have lived in the Shen family since I was a child, I have never dared to leave the place I am most familiar with. But now it seems that it is best to leave, whether it is for me or for her." Shen Wenrong's eyes were gentle, and he brushed a strand of hair from Shen's mother's cheek, "Thanks to Xi Zhou and Xiao Lu, otherwise I still have no determination to leave the Shen family."

"Maybe I'll come back here in the future." Lu Xinglan murmured.

"Eldest brother, you have turned the Shen residence upside down." Shen Xizhou said helplessly.

Although it was unplanned, it was a good result.

Lu Xinglan smiled without saying a word.Anyway, Shen Xizhou will leave the Shen family sooner or later. Instead of leaving in silence as he was completely disappointed with the Shen family like in the original book, it is better to leave in a thorough and graceful manner.

The wheels started to turn, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the carriage drifted away.

Lu Xinglan and Shen Xizhou stood at the intersection and waited until the carriage disappeared from sight before leaving.Noticing that a pair of eyes were also looking at the carriage, Lu Xinglan glanced there quietly.An old figure was hidden behind the bushes, standing quietly.

Lu Xinglan shook his head, sighed, if he knew this before, why did he do it in the first place?

"Let's go!" Lu Xinglan took a step forward, walked in the front, pointed in the direction of Qingcheng, and said.

It's time for them to go to work.
