C11 Meeting
C11 Meeting
A trace of alertness flashed across Yang Xuan's heart. Could it be that the man in black was caught? He replied, "I didn't meet anyone."
Yang Xiao carefully looked at Yang Xuan's expression, but Yang Xuan's expression was the same. He said coldly, "You better tell the truth. I fought with the thief last night. When we fought, I found that his Spiritual Force was weak. He told me that he was injured during the fight with you yesterday, and then you took the treasure away. "
Yang Xuan shook his head." You know Eldest Uncle doesn't allow me to cultivate. Who would go against Eldest Uncle's orders and privately teach me cultivation methods? That thief specializes in stealing things. He is not a gentleman, so what he says cannot be taken seriously. "
In fact, Yang Xiao also felt that it was impossible for Yang Xuan to beat that man in black. He had fought with the man in black before and knew that the man in black was not weak. He could not lose to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xiao glanced at Yang Xuan. Although the treasure might not be in Yang Xuan's hands, what if the thief saw that the courtyard was in ruins and deliberately hid the treasure here, hoping that no one would discover it? Thus, he threatened.
"Yang Xuan, everyone in the Yang family will remember their mission from the moment they were born. We never dare to forget the kindness of our family's upbringing. Even if we can't do anything that is beneficial to our family, we will never tarnish the reputation of our family. If the treasure is really with you, then you should hand it over to me as soon as possible. If I offend City Lord because of you, it will affect my career. Or it will cause the Yang family to be unable to move an inch in Qingzhou City. I'm afraid that even if you die, you won't be able to atone for your crimes! Don't forget, if it wasn't for the Yang family, you wouldn't have lived to this day."
Yang Xuan replied calmly," Yes. I dare not forget the kindness of the Yang family."
"By the way, City Lord will send someone to bring you to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow. The thief insisted that he had been to your courtyard that night. You just have to answer City Lord's question honestly. Also, the real prime minister Xu that you found in your room. You are really bold, you even dare to ruin prime minister Xu's real work. City Lord loved prime minister Xu's calligraphy very much. Don't make City Lord hate the Yang family. Don't shirk from what you have done." After saying that, Yang Xiao didn't even look at Yang Xuan. He quickly walked out of the courtyard. It was as if he would be insulted if he stayed a little longer.
Yang Xuan, on the other hand, was a little surprised.
Prime minister Xu's authentic work? That was really written by him. There was another one in the room! Could it be that even City Lord could not recognize it?
It seemed like he had to bring along the calligraphy he copied that night and explain it to City Lord. The matter of prime minister Xu's authentic work was easy to explain. As for the treasure that was stolen from the City Lord's Mansion...
The treasure was currently in his body. If City Lord blamed the Yang family for this, he wouldn't just sit there and do nothing. After all, the Yang family had nurtured him until now. Even if he had to pay with his life... No, he still wanted to live. He wanted to live and find out the truth about his parents' death.
Yang Xuan was thinking about the pearl in his heart. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and only fell asleep in the middle of the night.
In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. The guards of the City Lord's Mansion arrived at Yang Xuan's courtyard and brought him to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Yang Xuan, City Lord asked me to bring you here. Follow this path and you will see City Lord. Remember, don't lie when City Lord asks you questions." The guard pointed at the path and said to Yang Xuan.
"Okay, I will remember it."
Yang Xuan walked along the path. The path was about 40 meters long. It was 20 meters wide and was paved with pebbles. On both sides of the path, there were various types of flowers and plants. There were edelweiss, rose, rose, and other flowers and plants. They were competing with each other for beauty. A gentle breeze blew past, and the fragrance of the flowers and plants filled the air.
In the depths of the flowers and plants, an old man wearing a straw hat was squatting with his back straight, planting flowers on the ground. The beard that was exposed outside his hat was as long as his palm, and it was silvery-white in color. He wore a shirt that was neither gray nor yellow. His pants rolled over his knees, revealing his strong calves.
He had already walked to the end of the path, and had yet to see City Lord. Could it be that the guard had pointed to the wrong path? Yang Xuan could not help but walk straight to the front of the old man. He squatted down and asked, "May I ask where City Lord is? I have something to visit him."
"You are Yang Xuan, right?" The old man slowly raised his head and looked at Yang Xuan kindly.
However, the old man was surprised when he saw it.
He saw that the Spirit Aura around the young man was continuously gathering towards his dantian. If his guess was correct, this should be the effect of the Soul Absorption Bead. The Soul Absorption Bead that was stolen actually took the initiative to recognize it as its owner?
This Soul Absorption Bead had been in his hands for almost ten years. No matter what methods he used, he was unable to open the box. He didn't think that this youth who wasn't even eighteen would have such good luck.
The old man sighed with emotion. Forget it, he would just treat it as giving the Soul Absorption Bead to Yang Xuan, which would cause them to form a good relationship.
After Yang Xuan heard the old man's words, he looked at him. He discovered that although the old man looked no different from an ordinary person, his gaze and demeanor were not something that an ordinary person could possess.
Yang Xuan quickly said respectfully, "I am Yang Xuan. The deacon of Immortal Cultivation Hall did not find prime minister Xu's real handwriting in my room. It was imitated by prime minister Xu's handwriting. I didn't expect such a big misunderstanding to occur. I still have an imitation calligraphy in my hand. City Lord, please take a look."
After Yang Xuan finished speaking, he immediately handed another calligraphy to the old man.
"How did you know that I am City Lord from Qingzhou City?" The old man looked at him with interest and said, "With my appearance, don't I look like City Lord's subordinate?"
Yang Xuan shook his head. "It feels different."
City Lord's eyes suddenly lit up. "What do you feel?"
Yang Xuan said, "I can't say."
City Lord smiled when he heard Yang Xuan's answer. He wiped his hands and took the words from Yang Xuan's hands. He looked at them carefully and found that they were exactly the same as the words from last night.
He felt that Yang Xuan had a mind of his own when cultivating, and his talent in calligraphy was not low either. Could it be that he would become the second prime minister Xu?
"I can see that your calligraphy is sometimes hidden and reserved. Sometimes, it will show off its edge. This is very good. Watching a book is like looking at a person, neither arrogant nor rash, neither servile nor overbearing. Also, your cultivation base is not low among your peers." City Lord stroked his beard and praised.
Yang Xuan's cultivation base is not low?
Does this mean that he has already stepped into the ranks of Immortal Cultivators?
Yang Xuan was a little surprised. He immediately said, "I am sixteen years old this year. Can City Lord tell me some common knowledge about Immortal Cultivation?" Yang Xuan was afraid that City Lord would think too much, so he continued, "I am a little stupid. I am afraid that it will affect the cultivation of my family. I don't know much about the common knowledge of cultivation. "
City Lord thought for a moment, then took out a book from his sleeve and threw it to Yang Xuan. He said, "I have been cultivating for dozens of years, and most of the later stages of my cultivation rely on my understanding of the Heavenly Dao. I only have this cultivation book with me, take a look at it. It should be able to solve most of your doubts "
"You're sixteen this year, is your birthday coming? How's your Leap Test?" City Lord asked.
Yang Xuan was stunned. He didn't understand what a Leap Test was.
City Lord looked at Yang Xuan's confused expression and smiled. "Even the Soul Absorption Bead chose you as its master. Whether you want to go to the Leap Test or not doesn't matter anymore. The Leap Test is just a way for a cultivator to become an official."
Yang Xuan did not hear the rest of the words. He heard the first three words, the Soul Absorption Bead.
This meant that City Lord seemed to have already known that the bead was on him.
Yang Xuan quickly bowed. He wanted to explain, but just as he was about to say something, City Lord waved his hand.
"Since that pearl has chosen you as its master, it belongs to you. You don't have to care about what others think." City Lord said with a smile.
Yang Xuan quickly said gratefully, "Thank you, City Lord. I want to ask, do you know what Soul Absorption Bead is?"
City Lord smiled and said, "A Soul Absorption Bead that can absorb Heaven and Earth Spirit Aura is a very precious thing to cultivators. You can go back. Don't tell anyone about the Soul Absorption Bead. "
Yang Xuan's expression didn't change much, but the excitement in his heart was obvious. He bowed and said, "Thank you, City Lord. I will remember what you said."
