The glory of the king

Chapter 388 Big Chapter (35)

"If this is your wish, I am willing to help you as a friend." Peasley said with a smile.

Situ Jing was stunned in place, and it took a long time to come back to her senses. She smiled at the young man, her eyes bent into crescents, and said, "Thank you."

Afterwards, the three of them entered the main hall, and suddenly saw a white-haired, sallow and thin old man sitting on a chair, sipping tea leisurely.

Seeing the boy coming, the old man immediately stood up from the chair, but his body was slightly stiff, and his movements were quite slow.

"Mr. Xiao is really flourishing! Situ Lie is very honored."

Seeing the old man's politeness, Peasley naturally couldn't lose the etiquette as a junior.

"I've heard about old Mr. Situ's name for a long time, but when I saw him today, he's really imposing, domineering and awe-inspiring!"

Situ Lie laughed loudly: "You little brat, you are really talking nonsense with your eyes open. This old man doesn't have many years to live."

Peasley smiled: "Young mind, endless life."

"Haha, Mr. Xiao is not very old, but he has a deep understanding. Come, come, please sit down. Quietly watch tea."

Situ Lie cheerfully invited the young man to sit up.

Peasley was not polite to the other party, so he sat down next to Situ Lie, and Ning Xuan
Then he stood behind the young man very humbly.

After the young man finished drinking tea, Situ Lie said:

"Mr. Xiao is invited to come here today, mainly because I want to thank you for saving my life ten years ago.

If you hadn't generously used your championship rewards to help the old man heal, I am afraid that the old man would not have the opportunity to talk to you today. "

Peasley smiled and shook his head: "It's thanks to your granddaughter, without her begging, I'm afraid I wouldn't be willing to help you."

Speaking of this, the white-haired old man was slightly silent, his face darkened a bit, and said:
"I've heard a lot about what happened back then. Especially this silly girl did...some things that were disrespectful to your father. I also know..."

Peasley was silent.

"I apologize to you for my granddaughter's mistakes back then..." While speaking, Situ Lie tremblingly wanted to stand up and bow to apologize, but was held down by Pisley's outstretched hand.

A trace of confusion flashed in Situ Lie's eyes.

Peasley said slowly: "The hatred of those years is over. You have protected my parents for so many years, and you don't owe us anything anymore.

So you don't have to worry about me having bad thoughts about your family.Now Situ Jing and I are friends. "

"Boyfriend and girlfriend?" Situ Lie suddenly said, causing a look of embarrassment to appear on the young man's face, and making Situ Jing behind him flush, and standing

Ning Xuan, who was behind the boy, had a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

"Grandpa, can you stop talking nonsense, didn't you see his girlfriend standing beside him?" Situ Jing said and pointed behind Pisley.

Naturally, Situ Lie had noticed Ning Xuan's existence long ago, and he looked at Ning Xuan.Ning Xuan's pretty face blushed suddenly, but she looked at the old man without fear.

Situ Lie grinned, and said with a chuckle: "A man of talent and a woman's looks are indeed a good match. Jing'er, you are not as beautiful as Miss Ning Xuan, and your personality is also dull. No wonder Mr. Xiao looks down on you."

Situ Jing puffed her mouth: "Grandpa, you are not finished, don't you have something else to say, hurry up and say it!"

Situ Lie chuckled, and slapped his thigh: "Yes, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me. Mr. Xiao, there is actually one more thing to discuss when I invite you here this time.

"

Peasley nodded: "What the old man wants to talk about should be about running for the head of the family."

Situ Lie glanced at his granddaughter, and Situ Jing smiled slightly.

The old man sighed softly: "Old people will always leave all kinds of regrets. I always hope that before I leave, everything will be properly arranged, and everything will be arranged for the people I care about... ..."

As Situ Lie said, he involuntarily glanced at his granddaughter.

Standing behind Situ Lie, Situ Jing put her hands on Grandpa's shoulders, but said nothing.

Seeing this scene, Peasley felt a little touched.

It is a human being who will die one day.This is a pity, but it is also a kind of happiness.

Because there is a beginning and an end, there is a happy ending.

Peasley never envied those legends of eternal life, because he felt that if a person had already lived enough, there was no need to continue to live.

If a person lives for 200 years, the scenery of this era can basically be seen clearly.In the next few hundred years, not much will change.

And there is no point in continuing to live in a world that is already tired of playing.

Therefore, those who live forever or even live forever, either choose to kill themselves, or choose to go to the new world and see new scenery.

Because of Situ Lie's sorrow, Peasley felt a little sympathetic at the same time.So he went on to say: "I can understand your mood, senior, so you don't need to say those polite words, just tell me how to help you and Miss Situ."

A surprised smile appeared on Situ Lie's face:

"Xiao Mister is much more talkative than I imagined, since that's the case, then I won't beat around the bush.

The situation is that in about 20 days, our family will hold a test, and everyone under the age of 20 can take the test. "

"In 20 days?"

Peasley showed a pensive look on his face.

"What? Is there something going on then?" Situ Lie asked.

The boy shook his head: "There's nothing wrong... I just don't know how many days this test will last?"

"It's not long. The test is divided into three sessions, and it only takes three days." Situ Lie replied.

"Three days..." Peasley nodded. In this case, his schedule for leaving home might be a few days later, but it's okay, and it just happens that he can stay at home for a few more days.Thinking of this, Peasley signaled the other party to continue.

So Situ Lie went on to say:

"The first test is personal strength. All contestants must at least have the strength of a silver warrior."

"Being a Silver Warrior at the age of 20 is not a low requirement," Peasley said.

When Situ Lie heard this, he laughed loudly: "Compared to a 15-year-old platinum-strength little gentleman, that's a world of difference."

Peasley smiled and didn't say much.He can have today's strength, although the system has helped a lot, but he has also put in enough effort.

He never felt that his talent was much better than others, but he was sure that he worked harder than most of them.

"As for the second test,

It is to test the ability of the warlock profession, about the ability to set up formations, draw symbols, break formations, and break symbols. "

Situ Lie stroked his snow-white beard, and continued:
"Our family does not have high requirements for the strength of Mula. The strongest Mula may not be suitable to be the head of the family. Only those with the most outstanding abilities in warlocks can convince the public.

As for how to manage the family and how to manage the children of the family, after becoming the head of the family, I and the other two old guys will personally teach me. "

"What about the third test?"

"The third test is to test the support rate of the family." Situ Lie said this, his face became serious.

"Approval rate? How do you test this?" Peasley became interested.

"For this test, people who participate in the test need to go on stage to show off their power, connections, etc. Then everyone in the audience votes to choose who they want to support.

Finally, after these three tests are over, it will be up to me and the other two old guys to decide the heir of the family! "

After hearing the election method of the head of the Situ family, Peasley was very surprised: "The election method of the head of your family is a bit weird."

Situ Lie said with a chuckle: "Actually, it's not too weird. Those who are truly competitive are not those high-level disciples, and those ordinary disciples, because they don't have very good cultivation resources, don't have much chance to change their minds." How strong."

Peasley shook his head: "Cultivation resources don't represent everything.
There are also some geniuses who can cultivate to the point where they are no worse than the family's high-level children with meager resources.

But because there are no resources, it is always worse.If these people have the same resources as them, they will definitely show a stronger side.

How do you deal with such talents?Is it to let them be lost and buried like this? "

Situ Lie shook his head with a smile: "Mr. Xiao is right, but Mr. Xiao's worries are a bit unnecessary. We have records of the resources distributed to the younger generation of the family.

We can all see clearly what level of juniors used what kind of resources to obtain what kind of cultivation results.

If the effect of cultivation with low-quality resources exceeds our expectations, we will naturally give him more cultivation resources in the future.

And those who use high-quality resources but have not cultivated to the minimum level we stipulate, we will also deprive them of the right to enjoy high-quality resources. "

Hearing this, Peasley sighed in admiration: "So that's the case. In this way, the gold will not be buried in the sand for too long."

Hearing this, Situ Lie sighed softly, shook his head and said: "However, the geniuses and talents mentioned by Mr. Xiao are still a minority after all, most of them are lazy and mediocre, and it is difficult to become a master.

"

Peasley said with a smile: "It is also a family fortune to have one. Moreover, this time when competing for the position of the future Patriarch, maybe some guys who like to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers will suddenly come out."

"The old man is really looking forward to it." Situ Lie played with his beard, with a faint smile on his face.

"Speaking of now, what is senior going to do next?" Peasley asked bluntly.

Situ Lie smiled slightly, and said: "I hope that in the third test, Mr. Xiao, after my granddaughter comes on stage, you can show everyone your mighty power on the stage, and say that as long as my granddaughter becomes the head of the family, you will Become a friend of the Situ family and help in times of need.

Of course, this is just a word of deterrence. If any difficulties come, I dare not bother Mr. Xiao.So just saying this sentence will improve my granddaughter's prestige. "

"It's that simple?" Peasley showed a puzzled expression.

"It's that simple, it just needs to delay Mr. Xiao for some time. And no matter what the outcome of this matter is. I can assure you that I will still send people to protect your father's hall in the future, and when necessary, let Jing'er, and even the entire Situ family. Give you help."

After hearing these promises, Peasley did not refuse the other party's kindness.Although Li Ting has [Tang Lin] after returning this time, it cannot be said that there is no danger at all.After all, he and Tao Tiantian are not cultivators yet.

If someone could continue to protect him secretly, Peasley would feel more at ease.

So he nodded and said: "Then this matter is settled. I will come to help Miss Situ at that time. I also hope that when I am not at home or in Liangyuan City, seniors can also send someone to continue to protect in secret."

A look of joy appeared in Situ Lie's eyes, he nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Xiao, I will do my best to protect the safety of your father and Lingtang."

... On this day, half a month later, Peasley was practicing with his legs crossed, and at the same time turned on the gravity.

It is a very painful thing to practice under such a huge pressure.However, this is not too much pressure for Peasley, who has experienced countless pains and done countless torturous tasks.

But when he was concentrating on cultivation, he didn't know that there was another guest coming to his door.

"Excuse me, is this Li Sipi's home?" A woman in a plain skirt with an elegant demeanor looked at Tao Tiantian nervously.

Tao Tiantian looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, wondering if his son was so attractive?Beautiful girls come to him every few days, and every woman has her own characteristics.

See
Tao Tiantian was in a daze, a trace of confusion appeared on the face of the woman in plain skirt, and she tightly squeezed the hand at the corner of her clothes, showing the tension in her heart at the moment.However, she mustered up her courage and asked again:
"Did I go to the wrong place?"

When Tao Tiantian heard the words, he immediately came back to his senses, shook his head and said:
"No! This is Li Sipi's home. I'm his mother. He's practicing now. May I ask what you can do with him?"

"Ah! I... I have nothing to do. I just passed by here to see him. So you are Lispi's mother, and the little girl just got rude."

Tao Tiantian quickly shook his hand, and said with a smile, "There is no disrespect. Xiaopi is in the room right now. If you want to see him, come in."

The woman in plain skirt heard the words, just about to step into the threshold, but suddenly saw a sweet-looking girl who was washing clothes, she hesitated for a while, retracted her feet, lowered her head and said:
"It is enough to know that he is here. The little girl still has some things to do. Come visit me next time."

Tao Tiantian was a little puzzled, but he didn't hold back too much, he just said: "Then... girl, go slowly."

The woman in plain skirt saluted Tao Tiantian: "Excuse me."

After saying this, she turned and left, looking a little lonely.

During lunch, Pisley withdrew from his cultivation state, and Tao Tiantian said to his son, "Another beautiful girl came to you this morning. How many girls have you provoked outside?"

Peasley looked innocent: "I'm very honest outside, except for Ning Xuan, I haven't provoked any girls."

"Then who is that woman in plain skirt, elegant temperament, long black hair, big breasts, who looks about [-] years old?" Tao Tiantian looked at his son with a half-smile.

Peasley showed a look of reminiscence: "

Plain skirt...elegant...long hair...big breasts...something in her twenties..."

Reminiscing in this way, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in Peasley's mind, a figure that he hadn't seen again for several months.

"Any other features about her?" Peasley asked again.

Tao Tiantian pointed her lips with her finger, thought for a while and said, "That's right! There seems to be a writing brush tied around her waist."

"It's her..." Memories about that person surged up in Peasley's mind, accompanied by a special feeling.

Tao Tiantian leaned in front of his son, and said with a smile: "Why, remember where did you catch the girl's heart back? Girls have come to your door, have you done something you shouldn't do to him? gone?"

Seeing his mother's face so close at hand, Pisley's heart moved, he stretched out his hands to pinch her mother's cheeks and gently pulled them to the sides, causing the beautiful face to deform instantly.

Peasley said with a smile, "Except for the bad things I did to Ning Xuan, I have never touched any other women. Sister Tao, your mind is not healthy."

Tao Tiantian grabbed his son's hand and said with the same smile, "I don't care anyway, you will bring a few more girls back in the future and give birth to a few more babies for our family, do you hear me?"

Peasley rolled his eyes at the other party: "Nonsense, women are very troublesome creatures, I don't want to cause so much trouble. Besides, do you really want me to be a man with a heart?"

Tao Tiantian stretched out his hand, pinched the other person's face like his son just pinched her face, and said with a serious expression:

"It's good to know, so don't mess around outside, just have one or two good girls to accompany you, don't be greedy."

"Understood, Sister Tao, you are so long-winded."

Tao Tiantian pinched his waist angrily: "You bad boy, now you dislike your mother's long-windedness! Mother is all for your own good..."

At this moment, Ning Xuan was drying the tea leaves in the yard. Hearing the sound of the mother and son playing in the house, a faint smile appeared on her face.

Compared with the luxurious life in the palace, although the life here is simple and ordinary, others feel more comfortable and comfortable.

Ning Xuan thought to herself, how nice it would be if she could continue to live in such an unremarkable and easy way...

On the day agreed with Situ's family, Pisley and Ning Xuan came to the shop selling talisman papers in a carriage.

After picking Mr. Situ into the carriage, the four people including Situ Jing gathered in the carriage and headed towards the main hall of Situ's house.

Although the Situ family is only a second-rate family in Fallen Leaf City, because of the particularity and preciousness of the family occupation, the Situ Family's status in Fallen Leaf City is quite high.

The Situ family has two branch halls and one main hall in Fallen Leaf City. The branch halls are managed by the family's second eldest, Situ Lie, and third eldest, Yun Yuerong.The main hall is managed by Situ Feng, the current patriarch of the family.

And the three tests for the election of the future Patriarch were all conducted in the main hall.

"How about the first two tests? Are they going well?" Peasley looked at Situ Jing and asked.

Situ Jing blinked and said with a smile: "Of course it went well, the first two tests are actually formalities, and they are for ordinary disciples to have a chance.

This test is not only to select the future Patriarch, but it is also the time for those family disciples to show their strength. Those with strong strength will be promoted and given better training resources, otherwise they will be downgraded.

So for this test, as long as you think about it, you will do your best. "

Peasley nodded: "Then at present, is there any opponent who can pose a threat to you?"
