Chapter 1217 The Rules of the General’s Mansion
The building of the General's Mansion was just built in recent years. It is very large. Although the layout inside is not luxurious, it is still much more luxurious than ordinary people.
Sitting in the hall is a white-haired old man. Although he is very old, he is full of energy and has a calm and powerful aura between his brows.
He is the old man of the Zhu family, and also the old general conferred by the current emperor.
The Zhu family is now prosperous in the imperial city, precisely because of this old general sitting in charge, and the entire Zhu family relies on him for support.
Next to the old man, there was an old lady sitting, and there were also several middle-aged people standing beside them, all of whom were well-spoken elders in the general's palace.
At this time, the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed very depressing.
The old lady frowned and said, "I really don't know what you are thinking. That man named Ye brought so much trouble to our Zhu family back then. Now that we have finally settled down for a few years, do you still want to make the same mistake again?"
"Even if Ye Longtian is wrong, Qingya is our daughter after all. For her sake, we should meet this grandson. I don't want to be poked in the spine. Besides, Ye Longtian is no longer here. , Xuantian Alliance will not hold on to what happened back then."
The old man sighed and said.
The most regretful thing in his life was that he could not save his daughter. He had no choice but to remove Zhu Qingya from the family tree.
While the two were talking, Zhi Xuan, Zhu Luoyang and others had already entered the hall.
"More than ten years have passed in such a short time. I didn't expect you to have grown so big."
When he saw Zhi Xuan, the old man sighed for a while, but after noticing the gaze cast by the old lady, he changed his words and said: "Young man, I have heard about you. Your mother is indeed not here."
"Can I go see where she used to live?"
Zhi Xuan said.
The old lady said with some displeasure: "No one has lived in that house for more than ten years. It has been abandoned for a long time. What is there to see? Besides, you are not from my Zhu family now. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to make such a request?" OK."
Zhi Xuan frowned.
He understood that the old lady's hostility probably also came from dissatisfaction with his father. If it weren't for finding out the news about his mother, he would not be willing to step into this house.
Just when he was about to say something, the old man suddenly said: "Qingya does not belong to the Zhu family anymore. According to the rules of the Zhu family, I am afraid that I cannot agree to this matter, but there is a way to meet your request."
"Father, no!"
Zhu Luoyang's expression changed slightly.
The rest of the people also stopped him verbally.
The old lady was even more angry, "Old man, do you still think that the Zhu family has not gone through enough trouble? You have finally drawn a clear line with this family. You are really..."
The old man said calmly: "I'm not breaking the promise I made back then, I'm just doing things according to the rules. If Xiaoye can pass, he can do what he wants to do. If he can't pass, it's not like he has to go back and forth."
After hearing these words, the old lady's expression relaxed a little.
The old man looked at Zizixuan and said: "My General's Mansion has a rule. As long as you can defeat one of my masters, you can make any request, as long as it is not something that is harmful to the world. So, if you can win this contest, I I can agree to your request."
"Yes, this is also a rule set by our General Mansion in order to win over the strong men in the world. It can be used by anyone."
Zhu Luoyang also said.
Zhi Xuan wondered: "If the people you sent are very strong, wouldn't the so-called rules be a cover and no one can pass them."
"Don't worry about this."
The old man smiled lightly and said: "The original purpose of setting this rule was to win over the strong men in the world. Therefore, the strength of the person sent was below that of the Transformation God. However, his cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul Realm Great Perfection, with half a foot on it. Entered the state of transformation."
Having said this, the old man glanced at Zizixuan solemnly, "Although it is said that you only need to hold on in his hand for ten minutes to pass, but you have no eyesight, and you will inevitably make mistakes. Are you sure you want to compete?"
At this time, everyone looked at Zhi Xuan.
Although they didn't know Zhi Xuan's specific cultivation level, they could tell from the aura emanating from him that he was only at the Nascent Soul level at most.
Among the Nascent Souls, I'm afraid no one is that person's opponent. Let alone ten minutes, even five minutes is a problem.
Zhu Luoyang even sneered. He knew the master under the old man. Although he was only in the Nascent Soul realm, he was as powerful as a god.
Just when everyone thought that Zhi Xuan would give up, the latter suddenly said: "Okay, let's start now, I'm in a hurry."
For a while.
Everyone opened their mouths.
This thing...
Are you too good at showing off?
There are less than five people with the ability to transform gods in the entire General's Mansion. Apart from those five people, the rest of the people don't dare to compete with that person at all.
This guy actually agreed without a blush or a heartbeat? !
The old man came to his senses after being stunned, hesitated and said, "Okay, Luoyang, go and call A Biao over."
Zhu Luoyang nodded and left quickly.
Soon, he found A Biao, a burly man with powerful strength exploding from his muscles.
Zhu Luoyang said: "A Biao, I leave this matter to you. Remember, don't hold back and defeat that kid as quickly as possible."
A Biao frowned and said, "You also know that if my power explodes at full strength, someone will easily be killed."
"Although I believe you can defeat that kid within ten minutes, it's better to be cautious in everything. If you fail, the Zhu family will be related to the person named Ye again. When the news is revealed to the Xuantian Alliance, the General's Mansion can It’s not as stable as it is now.”
Zhu Luoyang said coldly.
Thinking of the situation of the Zhu family back then, A Biao sighed and said, "In that case, I won't say much more, but if something happens, you must help me take care of it."
"Don't worry about this."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
…
In order to avoid damaging things in the hall, the contest between Zizixuan and Abiao was arranged directly in the arena of the General's Mansion.
The rest of the group spread out, trying to give them as much space as possible.
Zhu Luoyang took out an hourglass and put it on the table, and said calmly: "This hourglass lasts for about ten minutes. When the hourglass inside is finished, as long as you have not failed, you will be considered to have passed the test."
Zhi Xuan glanced at the hourglass and frowned, but didn't say anything.
Only the corner of Zhu Qing's mouth curved, and he secretly tugged on the corner of Zhu Luoyang's clothes, whispering: "Dad, this hourglass should be... slower."
Zhu Luoyang glared at him sharply, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one around him was strange.
"Okay, let's get started."
Zhu Luoyang's voice fell, and the two instantly entered a fighting state.
