"A gentleman is indifferent to fame and wealth, and does not seek favors with splendor. Exquisite clothes may appear graceful and luxurious, but they are just empty appearances without actual use, so they are not suitable for cultivators. Plain colors can make people look dignified, and they are full of charm when worn. It is elegant and elegant, and is most suitable for cultivators." Jiang Yuan glanced at him and stopped him with a bunch of words.

Lin Zhihui looked at the white mysterious clothes on his body, and suddenly felt more holy and clean, as if it was dazzling and untouchable.

Han Yu ran to him, patted his shoulder and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Jiang is still very charming, and he still has unique insights into everything and has a temperament like a blue."

"Thank you." Jiang Yuan smiled at him and followed the team of uncles in front.

The lacquered red door slowly opened, and the leader appeared inside. He was full of blood, about the same age as his father, but had an extra sense of majesty. Now this word can be used to describe him. The first impression of him was like a tree in the wind. , elegant and elegant, dressed in black mysterious clothes and a yellow crown, with kind eyes and kind eyes, led a group of disciples to come out to greet him.

Although I don't know him, he is followed by Shi En and Shi Yi, so it is not difficult to guess that he is Shi Qunping, the leader of the Shuntian Sect.

Shi Qunping walked down the steps and personally picked up the representatives, saying at the same time, "Thank you all for coming. It really makes this humble house shine."

"Humble house? You're right, such a big palace can be as big as the place where the Emperor of Tianxuan Kingdom lives." Han Yu said as he walked. Han Shanzhen turned around and said, "Don't be rude."

Han Yu listened to his words and stayed behind him.

There is nothing in the hall. The tall fountain sprays a huge wave in the air. Everyone is shocked when they look at it. This hall is not just a reception place at all. Many disciples can be seen in the hall training in an orderly manner. There are railings on the west side. Surrounding the training ground is a row of long two-story houses to the east. The clothes drying racks outside the houses are covered with bedding. This must be where these disciples rest.

But these two places are already very big. On the left and right rear of the fountain in front of them, the four words "Shuntian Yingshi" are written on the hall behind the fountain. Shi Qunping took them to this hall.

Lu Zongzhen said, "Brother Shi, you are indeed young and promising. The Shuntian Sect has made great achievements in your hands. It is really gratifying and congratulatory."

"Oh~ It's an award, what does this mean? It's just a mansion built, but it hasn't been completed yet. It will take another two years for the mansion to be officially completed. It's still too early." After saying that, he stroked his beard and laughed. got up.

Lin Zhihui saw a knowing look in his father's eyes, but he didn't show it deliberately in front of everyone. Han Shanzhen was looking at the pictures and porcelain in the palace. Shi Qunping noticed him, pointed to the painting where his eyes were lingering and said, "Brother Han really has a good eye, and he was also attracted by this painting."

After saying this, everyone looked at the painting one after another. Lin Zhihui looked at the painting carefully and found nothing special, but some of the images were good. The sun was clear and the birds were singing in the bamboo forest. But what Shi Qunping said next shocked Lin Zhihui.

"It took me a lot of connections to get this. Alas~ Just as Brother Han thought, it is the Green Mountains and Long Streams painting that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is said to be written by Hua Guang, the first painter of Feng and Tang Dynasty~ It's hard to find, it's hard to find Please, I am a person who loves painting so much that I can overcome all difficulties, do you think so?" Shi Qunping looked at Han Shanzhen.

Han Shanzhen's face twitched slightly, but he regained his composure after a while, nodded silently, and then sat quietly in his seat and stopped talking. What is so special about this painting? How could the leader-level Han Shanzhen suffer such a blow. He seemed to be a different person when he sat in his seat. He was not as bright and energetic as when Lin Zhihui first saw him. At this moment, he was silent and looked like an old and poor old man, sitting on the chair and worrying about the future. Life.

"Father, the venue for the competition is ready. You can compete on stage at any time." Shi En came in, followed by his younger brother Shi Yi.

Shi Qunping smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "There is no rush in the competition. You must treat guests with hospitality. Follow my instructions and prepare the dinner. I want to have a good time with you all."

Shi En retreated to prepare for the dinner. Shi Yi was stopped by him and said, "Yier, please don't cause trouble with your brother. Just sit aside and watch carefully."

Lin Zhihui looked at Shi Yi, his face looked a little pale and aggrieved, like a depressed child. Shi Yi sat next to Lin Zhihui. Seeing him lowering his head, Lin Zhihui whispered, "Do you still remember me? ?”

Shi Yi turned his head and looked at him with questioning eyes, and after a long time he said, "I know you, you are Brother Lin, right?"

Lin Zhihui was a little happy that he actually remembered him. He always said nothing before, but now this was the first time he spoke to him.

"Are these things done by grace?"

"Yes." After saying that, he lowered his head silently and sat quietly like an innocent child.

"how about you?"

"I'm fine. My brother is here. This family doesn't seem to need me to do anything."

"This boy Shi En has grown up again, and his work is more reassuring." Shi Qunping said from above.

"Yes, Shi En has become more handsome now," Lu Zongzheng replied.

All that is said about Shi En is, "He is very capable and hardworking", "He has strong magic", "Not only that, he is also extremely talented"

Shi Yi lowered his head even deeper. The dull pain in his heart made Lin Zhifan feel familiar. It was as if every word they said was like a needle piercing deep into your heart. You were bleeding, but they couldn't see it. They still talked and laughed. When you were covered with wounds, they noticed you, gave you a pitiful look, and left mercilessly.

Who hasn't been overshadowed by others? Even if you work hard, you still can't surpass others. Lin Zhifan knows this feeling best. But he survived it and is doing well now. Looking at Shi Yi's dark brown eyes, it seems that there is the same bitterness as he once had.

"It's okay, everything will be fine." Lin Zhihui patted his shoulder lightly. Looking at his eyes, Lin Zhihui couldn't tell what he felt. It was as if Shi Yi was his former self and he was telling himself, It's okay, the haze will pass, you have to work hard, I'm waiting for you not far away, hurry up and catch up with me.

Shi Yi's pupils dilated slightly, as if a hungry wolf had caught food. Lin Zhihui was pierced by his gaze. When he came back to his senses, all those meaningless words and pleasantries seemed to have passed.

The dinner began, Shi Qunping took his seat, Hengtian Sect and Jiuyu Sect sat on both sides in order of honor. Lin Zhihui sat between Jiang Yuan and Chen Ze. Chen Ze was Lu Zongzhen's favorite disciple, because he always competed All ended in failure.

Gradually, his reputation spread to the Suntian faction. Shi Qunping specially invited him this time. He also wrote a lot of words of encouragement for him. He talked about upholding the strict customs and working hard. I originally thought that he would not come, but he actually hit the chicken. It came like blood.

"It is not suitable for cultivators to sing and dance, but it is indispensable to celebrate the dinner." After saying this, he clapped his hands, and vocal music sounded in the hall. A woman in red floated down from the hall, covering her face with a gauze, her hair beating her shoulders. Ruoxian, like a flower elf, landed on the hall. All the cultivation disciples were attracted by this unexpected surprise, and their eyes fell on this graceful and dancing woman.

Although the veil covered her face, the way she appeared and her pretty eyes made Lin Zhihui recognize her at a glance - Xerox.

The floating snow turns back to the light, and the beauty sends the wandering dragon into shock.

The willows behind the small hanging hands are weak, and the clouds are about to grow when the train is slanted.

The tobacco moth is in a state of panic, and the wind sleeves are held low as if they are sentimental.

Shangyuan ordered the servant girl to attract green calyx, and the Queen Mother waved goodbye to Fei Qiong.

It’s hard to overestimate this dance.

After Xerox finished dancing, she took off her veil, and the disciples were surprised again. She was so beautiful that she looked like a fairy. Coupled with the dance just now, some of her disciples were already feeling full of spring. Just like Chen Ze next to him.

"This is my little girl Xile, Lele has met all my uncles and brothers."

"Yes, Xerox has met all the senior uncles and will be taken care of by his senior uncles and senior brothers from now on."

"Definitely, definitely." Chen Ze smiled crazily, his eyes following Xerox closely. My eyes couldn't let go for a moment.

"Hey, she is Jiang Yuan's fiancée. Don't worry about her. Stop causing trouble for my father."

Lin Zhihui heard Lu Zhan, who was sitting next to Chen Ze, say to him.

"I've long heard that Nanjing has beautiful women. It's better to see it than to hear it a hundred times." Chen Ze seemed not to have heard what he said and expressed his own opinions alone.

"Did you hear what I said?" Lu Zhan asked impatiently.

"I heard you, look at your loud voice. Don't scare Xerox." Chen Ze waved his hand and continued to admire the beauty in the center of the hall.

Lu Zhan didn't bother to talk to him anymore, picked up a cup of tea and walked past him.

Jiang Yuan sat leisurely in his seat, occasionally picking up a cup of tea and taking a sip, and then said a few words to Lin Zhihui.

Lin Zhihui couldn't guess what Jiang Yuan was thinking. His fiancée was being remembered by others, so he could sit here so quietly.

"I have long heard that Miss Xerox is a beautiful woman. Today, when I saw her, she really lived up to her name. I wonder if Miss Lele..."

"Don't think about it, she's already engaged."

A disciple in the hall volunteered, but was hit by this reality, "It seems that there is no destiny. I wonder which young master is so lucky that he can win the favor of Miss Xerox?"

Shi Qunping sat on the stage and laughed heartily. He seemed particularly satisfied when he saw the crowd vying for the favor of his daughter.

"Who do you think is worthy of Xerox? Of course he is the most talented person in the Qing Dynasty. He is talented, charming, and handsome."

"Haha. I really want to compete with him if I have the chance."

"Have you beaten anyone before? Don't ask for trouble." A kind-hearted person advised.

"Hey~ You can't say that. It's normal for young people to compete with each other. Don't you just want to have a competition? Well, isn't it just for the competition that you are here? How about I arrange a competition between you two? ?" Shi Qunping said, looking at the two people arguing.

"Then thank you, Master Shi." The young man said.

"Who is he? It seems that he is not from the Jiuyu sect or the Hengtian sect." Lin Zhihui said to Jiang Yuan.

"Who cares who he is." Jiang Yuan said lightly and took a few sips of tea.
