People in Douluo: Ice Phoenix does not fight or compete

Chapter 102 Chapter 102: Shui Family

The number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased, and as they walked into a bluestone brick road about ten meters wide, there were no other people on the road.

Cedars are planted every five meters on both sides of the road, like two rows of guards standing in formation to welcome visitors.

At the end of the road is an oversized mansion, so large that even Ling Yuan Douluo’s inadvertent release of spiritual power could not cover it in its entirety.

There is a huge arch in front of us. The walls on both sides are less than three meters high and are engraved with many exquisite martial spirit patterns. Light blue pyroxene is inlaid at intervals on the top of the wall, shining brightly, echoing the huge golden water character on the arch.

The archway was wide open. The Shui family had never closed the door in the past ten years, so two guards were enough to stand guard.

The sky is gradually getting dark. The daytime hours in Beilin City are relatively short, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Now is the time to finish dinner.

Smoke could be seen rising above the mansion, and the aroma of food aroused the appetite of the tired group.

The two guards were standing in a shabby manner. It didn't matter whether they were on guard or not. No one dared to be presumptuous here. There was only one possibility for provoking the Shui family in Beilin: they had lived enough and didn't know where to bury themselves!
The two guards in plain white cotton coats were a little surprised to see the visitor.

One person didn't notice the look on the man's face and said with a smile: "Why is Brother Pingwei back? Who are these people behind him?"

They had ambiguous smiles on their faces. The three women were more outstanding in age and appearance than the other, and they all looked like outsiders. Who knows, one of them might be the concubine that Shuipingwei wanted to marry.

Ping Shuiwei turned around with a gloomy face and said, "We are here. Come on, I will take you to see the clan leader."

After saying this, he stepped into the archway without paying attention to the feelings of the two guards.

Ling Yuan Douluo took a deep look at the golden word "water". With her knowledge, it was not difficult to guess that it was a very special soul guide metal.

He walked between two guards carrying Shuitian on his back, and one of them saw his face.

The curiosity in his eyes turned into confusion, and then into horror and disbelief.

He stood there in a daze, and he hadn't recovered even after everyone entered the Shui family.

His companion asked in confusion, "Brother Pingwei, what's wrong with you today? You look upset. Why do you look like that? Could it be that you know the patient that beautiful lady is carrying?"

Upon hearing this, the guard said coldly: "What patient? If I'm not mistaken, that person is Elder Shui Tian!"

"What?" The companion was shocked, his eyes full of suspicion.

After entering the archway, the first thing you see is a huge garden where plants that grow in cold regions are in full bloom. You cross the central main road and enter a huge entrance hall before you truly enter the Shui family.

Rows of houses of various types are randomly distributed. Those who live here are direct descendants of the Shui family, and many other family members live outside the mansion.

Some members of the Shui family cast puzzled glances at them, while some young men from the Shui family couldn't take their eyes off the three beauties of different types.

Everyone was curious about the identities of the group. Fortunately, it was Shuipingwei who brought them in, otherwise if outsiders had not sent visiting cards in advance, these tribesmen would have been possessed by their martial spirits.

But when someone saw Shui Tian's face clearly, they couldn't help but shout, "It's Elder Shui Tian, ​​she's carrying Elder Shui Tian!"

"It's really my cousin Shuitian~"

"Brother Xiaotian? What's going on? What happened to Brother Xiaotian?"

"Pingwei, who are they? Why is Xiaotian with them? Is Xiaotian injured?"

"Ladies, please put down Elder Shuitian!"

"What happened to cousin Shuitian?"

"........."

After discovering that the person being carried was Shui Tianhou, the group was surrounded by members of the Shui family.

Finally, an elder spoke up: "Be quiet, it's inappropriate to make so much noise."

The old man seemed to be of very high status. He looked to be at least eighty years old. His hair and beard were all white, but his eyes were still sparkling. He wore a simple gray-white robe and his back was straight.

As soon as he spoke, the crowd instantly quieted down. Ling Yuan Douluo glanced around and was slightly surprised.

This old man is a Soul Saint. Although he is old, his aura is strong and his cultivation should be close to level 80.

The old man looked at the person who brought them here and said, "Xiaotian, what's going on? Who are these three women?"

Shuipingwei looked embarrassed and said, "Uncle San, I don't know what Xiaotian has been through. I met these friends at the city gate."

Now that they had arrived at the Shui family, Ling Yuan Douluo felt relieved and took the initiative to hand Shui Tian on his back to Sophie to take care of.

He completely ignored the nervous and worried expressions of the Shui family members.

"Who are you to Shuitian? I want to see your clan leader." She spoke lightly, but her attitude was still polite.

The old man's eyes fixed, and he had no time to care about Shui Tian who was dying. He found that he could not see through the cultivation level of the woman in front of him at all.

There are only two possibilities in this situation, either she is not a soul master, or her cultivation is far beyond his.

Look at her wearing a black and gold battle skirt. This kind of skirt is the favorite of many female soul masters on the mainland, but it is not suitable for the weather in the Northern Territory.

The fact that he could withstand the temperature of the evening with his physical body showed that he was definitely a powerful soul master.

The old man did not dare to look down on him, and said very carefully: "I am Shui Shichang, Xiaotian is my nephew. I wonder who you are? Why is Xiaotian injured like this?"

"Shui Shichang? Are you Shui Shichang, one of the Four Heroes of the Northern Territory thirty years ago?" Lingyuan Douluo seemed to know his identity, and there was some surprise in his eyes.

The old man nodded without answering, but looked at Shui Tianlao, who was supported by Sophie, with pain in his eyes.

Not only him, but many members of the Shui family, both men and women, were stunned.

How could the most outstanding second-generation disciple of their Shui family be injured like this? Is he really still alive?
Seeing their sad faces, Ling Yuan Douluo felt bitter in his heart, and said with some sorrow: "Take me to see your family master first. Senior Shui, just call me Ling Yuan. Xiao Tian and I are old friends."

"Ling Yuan?" Shui Shichang came back to his senses instantly, and a special name emerged in his mind.

At this time, Zhu Zhuqing bowed and said, "Junior Zhu Zhuqing is a student of Teacher Shuitian. The teacher is also protecting me~"

She had tears in her eyes, and she felt extremely sad when she saw the sad expressions of these members of the Shui family.

If she wasn't so weak, the teacher wouldn't have been injured so seriously. The final blow of the Clear Sky Hammer was not aimed at him.

All the Shui family members looked at her when they heard this. This girl who looked like a teenager was actually Shui Tian’s student, and what did she mean by this?
Sophie also hurriedly introduced herself, "My name is Sophie. I am honored to meet Mr. Shuitian and to send him home together."

She was worried that Zhu Zhuqing's words would cause trouble, so she quickly introduced herself and tried to change the subject.

But it's not that easy. Shui Shichang's old eyes turned red without him noticing. He ignored her and Zhu Zhuqing and just looked at Ling Yuan Douluo and said, "I am not worthy of you calling me senior. The most accomplished soul masters are the first! Your Majesty, why don't you tell me whether Xiaotian's injury is related to your Spirit Hall?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Shui family was in an uproar.

"Your Majesty" and "Spirit Hall", this woman is actually a Titled Douluo!
There were sudden gasps and cries of disbelief. She looked like she was probably less than thirty years old! How could she be a royal?

Ling Yuan Douluo's face was full of bitterness: "Yes, but the details will be discussed after I meet your family master. I hope we can stop wasting time here."

"Okay~" Shui Shichang hid all his emotions in his heart. As one of the few people who knew Shui Tian's secret, he would not be as excited as other tribesmen. But since it was related to the Spirit Hall, he could not help but feel that it was difficult and troublesome.

It was not easy to leave. The people of the Shui family were in an uproar again. Men, women, young and old were all saying unpleasant things. It was not easy to get through the crowd.

"Go home and stop getting in the way. I'll leave Pingwei to you. I'll take the guests from afar to see the clan leader!" Shui Shichang made the decision decisively.

No matter what, we cannot let the clan members make trouble. Shui Tian’s students and friends are here, and the Shui family cannot lose face.

He roared and subdued the tribesmen, and his power was so great that everyone made way.

"Your Majesty, please follow me." Shui Shichang did not ask his family members to carry Shui Tian on their backs. For some things, the fewer people who know about them, the better. The severity of his injuries could not be known by too many people.

Following him through the crowd, Lingyuan Douluo roughly understood the cultivation and strength of these tribesmen.

They are not inferior to the soul master clans, and they are even stronger because they practice a single attribute element.

There were the most Soul Kings and Soul Masters, and there were also a few old men at the Soul Emperor level in the crowd. The gazes of the old men were the most touching. There was an old woman with tears in her eyes, trying to hold back her emotions.

That was the child they watched grow up!

From the central road through the rows of houses, more members of the Water Family came out to watch.

Shui Shichang's serious expression made them all hold back on things, and this phenomenon did not stop until they reached the gate of the inner courtyard.

There are also flower beds outside the gate, and the flowers that can grow in this climate are all very cold-resistant varieties.

The inner courtyard in front can also be called the inner house. Different from the houses and courtyards outside, the entire area in front belongs to the residence of the direct descendants of the Shui family.

Shui Shichang, who brought them here, also lives here.

After entering the new archway, three huge ice sculptures appeared in front of us.

The ice sculptures on the left and right sides are both placed on black boulders. The left one is a huge six-sided snowflake, and the right one is a spiral stream-shaped ice sculpture.

They represent water and snow respectively, and the ice sculpture in the center is standing directly on the ancient dark green altar.

It was an ice phoenix with its wings spread, a statue of Shui Tian’s martial spirit and the Shui family’s absolute belief.

When seeing this statue, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but recall the Ice Phoenix that was flying above the teaching building of Lan Ba ​​College at that time, which was equally sacred, great and beautiful.

He just walked over from the side, and several people who had noticed it stopped.

I saw a man walking out of the tall palace-like building in front of me.

This man has a resolute face and a solemn expression, and he looks quite handsome and heroic.

He is not a big man, but he gives people a heavy and oppressive feeling like a mountain.

He strode towards here, the white robe he was wearing rustling even without wind, a white jade belt around his waist, a blue jade ring on his hand, and he walked with great vigor.

There was a pair of sad pupils on that heroic face, and he murmured absentmindedly: "Xiaotian~"

The building as tall as a palace is the core building of the Shui family. Commands concerning the fate of the family are issued from here.

On weekdays, he and a few elders were the only ones handling affairs in the temple, and there was no need for ordinary tribesmen, servants or guards.

The two sides of this hall lead to their family's residence. It is now dinner time and the elders are not here. He is the only one in the hall dealing with the few remaining matters.

Not wanting to feel several special auras approaching, as soon as he walked out of the hall, he saw his younger brother who had not returned home for three years.

"Clan leader, Xiaotian has returned home." Shui Shichang said sadly. He made way to expose the three women and said, "Don't you want to see the head of my Shui family? He is the current head of my Shui family, Shui Zhan! He is also Xiaotian's biological brother. Now you can tell us what happened!"

Without waiting for their explanation, Shui Zhan took a few meters in one step and came quickly in front of Sophie, shocking her so much that she was almost possessed by her martial spirit.

Shui Zhan's movements were too fast, and without any soul power revealed, his cultivation was probably at the Soul Saint level.

He didn't care about the identities of these women, nor did he care what his third uncle said.

He just grabbed Shui Tian from her and held him in his arms. When he took a closer look, he was completely stunned.

How could my brother hurt the city like this?
What kind of blow had caused that terrible wound on the chest?
He could feel many broken bones all over his body, and he could hardly feel the existence of his mental strength. Even his heartbeat was intermittent.

For a moment his eyes turned red, and he looked up at the three women one by one.

"Thank you for sending him home. Please forgive me for my poor hospitality on this first meeting. Now, who can tell me who hurt Xiaotian so badly? And who are you all?"

Everyone could hear how angry he was right now. Waves of cold soul power were released from his body, and he could hardly control his emotions and release his martial soul.

Almost instantly, Zhu Zhuqing knelt on the ground, her eyes filled with tears but she did not lower her head.

"I am Zhu Zhuqing, a student of Teacher Shui Tian. Teacher was seriously injured by Haotian Douluo just to save me!"

Lingyuan Douluo hurried forward and tried to pull her up, but Zhu Zhuqing's guilt made her unwilling to get up.

Sophie could only remain silent, as there were some details she was not aware of.

Shui Zhan's face suddenly darkened when he heard that. The four words "Haotian Douluo" were like a bolt from the blue. No matter how his younger brother had provoked the other party, things had become difficult and troublesome!
"Since you are his student, stand up. Xiaotian doesn't like spineless people. Even if he was injured because of you, it's not a reason for you to kneel here! Stand up and tell me what happened!"

Since he is his brother's student, he is his junior. He believes that Shui Tian will not do meaningless things. If the opponent is Haotian Douluo, it doesn't matter whether the child is seriously injured or not.

His words were full of authority, and although he looked a bit like a teacher, his tone and attitude were completely different.

Lingyuan Douluo also advised: "Kid, you get up first, it's not your fault."

She pulled up the wavering Zhu Zhuqing, but after she stood up, Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head. She thought she would have had more courage to face it than when she was kneeling.

Seeing this, Ling Yuan Douluo could only suppress his heartache and calmly said, "Chief Shui, this is not the place to talk. Please take us to a suitable place. The child and I will slowly explain everything to you."

Indeed, this was not the place to talk, and his brother had to get treatment as soon as possible.

Shui Zhan hesitated for only a second before making a decision. He said, "Third Uncle, take them into the palace and treat them well. Don't let Yun Shu and the others know about this for the time being."

Hearing this, Shui Shichang said with a miserable expression: "I'm afraid it won't be easy. The clan members have already seen that Xiao Shu is his sister-in-law. They will know it sooner or later."

"Hey~"

Shui Zhan sighed helplessly, looked at Ling Yuan Douluo and the others and said, "Thank you for sending Xiao Tian back. Please go into the hall and rest first. I have to go and settle my brother. I hope you can tell me what happened later!"

"Where are you taking him? He can't hold on for much longer, so let's not touch him!" Ling Yuan Douluo hurriedly stopped him, but she suddenly found that Shui Zhan's eyes were flickering, as if there was something special that she didn't know.

Zhu Zhuqing also said nervously: "Senior, let me take care of the teacher. The teacher only wants to go home to see his family at the end of his life. I want to accompany him in his last moments~"

Although she said this, she still remembered what Shui Tian said when he woke up that time.

The concern of both of them did not seem fake. Shui Zhan had some calculations in his mind, but he remained calm and said, "Don't worry, I will settle Xiaotian. He is my brother. If you are not in a hurry to leave, I will arrange for you to meet him."
