Chapter 218: Luofeng Pavilion
"have you understood?"
Su Yian put down the pen and paper in his hand, looked at Xiong Chumo and asked. What he was just talking about was some knowledge about the direction that Xiong Chumo was researching.
"I understand, I understand." Xiong Chumo nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "It's easy to understand. Much better than Sister Xiaoxin!"
"Cough!" Su Yian coughed lightly, and Xiong Chumo continued as if he didn't know it: "Sister Xiaoxin is not very good at what I want to learn now. Although sister Xiaoxin knows a little, it is too laborious to talk about it. I In fact, I was very speechless, but due to her coercion, I couldn’t resist!”
"Thankfully you came, otherwise I would still have to suffer from her torture, alas!"
"What's wrong with your eyes? What are you looking at?"
Xiong Chumo looked behind him and stood up in fright.
"Xiao...Sister Xiaoxin, weren't you outside? When did you come in?"
Dongfang Xiaoxin smiled brightly and made a crunching sound with her hands: "Torture, right? I will let you experience what torture is now!"
"Face Hayate!"
"ah!!!"
Su Yian hurriedly ran outside the house, listening to the screams coming from inside, with a smile on his lips. They were really a pair of treasures.
"They've been like that since they met." Beiming Zhiyao walked over and said softly.
"Yes." Su Yian nodded and looked at the sky. It was still gloomy with no sun. There was a moist smell in the air. It seemed like it was going to rain.
"Let's take a walk?" Su Yian suggested.
"good."
So the two of them left the residence of Xiong Chumo's family together.
The Kaiping Palace is very large, covering an area of at least tens of thousands of acres. In these tens of thousands of acres, in addition to the five mansions of the direct descendants of the Xiong family, there are also waterside pavilions and pavilions for leisure.
The architectural style of the Kaiping Palace is ancient. It was built after the Xiong family was enfeoffed in Kunyang City, and it continues to this day.
Renovations are carried out every few years so the mansion looks like new.
"Your home is bigger than this." Walking in the mansion and looking at the surrounding buildings, Su Yian couldn't help but sigh.
"That's not true..." Beiming Zhiyao shook her head: "Our family has a history that is not as long as the Xiong family, and the population is not as large as the Xiong family. In addition, my aunt doesn't like big houses, so our family is not that big."
"But it is much more difficult to enter Beiming's house than to enter King Kaiping's house."
Beiming Zhiyao's eyes drooped slightly: "That was before, but it's not like this now."
"You are still here." Su Yian said with a smile: "With your qualifications, you can definitely support the Beiming family."
"And...I'll help you."
Bei Ming Zhiyao's eyes flashed softly, she turned to look at Su Yian's side face and said, "Then you have to work harder."
Su Yian nodded, stopped and looked ahead.
"Luofeng Pavilion."
"These three characters should be written by everyone." Beiming Zhiyao knew calligraphy, so she could tell it at a glance.
"Go in for a walk?"
"good."
This place is not a forbidden area, and there are also many Xiong family members who go in and out of it, so there are no taboos about coming in and out.
Walking into it, you will find countless maple trees standing on both sides of the gallery path. As the breeze blows, maple leaves fall from the trees.
"They are really all maple leaves." Su Yian clicked his tongue: "But they are indeed pretty. The Xiong family has quite good taste."
"After all, this is a family that has been inherited for thousands of years." Beiming Zhiyao looked around and suddenly lowered her voice: "Junior, do you feel that you are being watched?"
Su Yian did not deny it: "Maybe it's the guards guarding this place, or maybe important members of the Xiong family are relaxing here."
Beiming Zhiyao nodded and continued walking forward.
At the same time, the head of the family's mansion.
"The head of the family, Beiming Zhiyao and Su Yian entered Luofeng Pavilion."
Xiong Zhaolin, who inherited the title of King of Kaiping, frowned: "How do they get back there?"
"Just hanging out."
Xiong Zhaolin actually asked subconsciously, what can two outsiders know?
"Let's go and have a look." Xiong Zhaolin hesitated and said: "When the eldest lady of the Beiming family comes to visit, she always has to greet her. It's also a good time to borrow the reputation of the Beiming family."
Tomorrow will be the battle for the Xiong family's heir. If those invited know that Beiming Zhiyao is also here, it will be of great benefit to the Xiong family's reputation.
…
"Hahaha, man, you lost again."
The hearty laughter seemed to spread throughout the garden, causing birds to fly in the forest.
Su Yian and Beiming Zhiyao looked at each other, and then walked in the direction of the sound.
During this process, Su Yian clearly felt that the eyes on him were getting sharper and sharper, and he almost stood up to stop him.
But somehow, these sharp sights disappeared completely in just a short moment.
Su Yian's expression remained unchanged, and he and Beiming Zhiyao walked around a few corners, and then they saw such a scene——
In the center of the clear lake, a pavilion stands. The way from the lake to the central pavilion is a series of bridges. These bridges stand in different directions and seem to have a deeper meaning.
"It coincides with the power of the Bagua, the Seven Star Bagua Sword Formation..." Su Yian looked at the layout here and thought silently in his heart.
Then, he looked at the two old men sitting opposite each other in the pavilion.
One of them is Baili Chengze.
The other one, presumably, was Xiong Bin, the previous head of the Xiong family.
At Baili Chengze's advanced age, he was invited here not because he was someone Xiong Zhaolin knew, but because of Xiong Bin, a centenarian.
"There are two strange little guys." Xiong Bin turned his head and looked at Su Yian and Beiming Zhiyao by the lake.
A pair of slightly turbid eyes stayed on Beiming Zhiyao.
"Little girl, you look a lot like an old friend of mine." Xiong Bin seemed to be trapped in some memories.
"Junior Beiming Zhiyao greets the senior!" Beiming Zhiyao bowed slightly to Xiong Bin.
"Beiming..." Xiong Bin's eyes lit up: "No wonder, no wonder, it turns out that I have a blood relationship with her."
Beiming Zhiyao knew that the "she" in Zhong Bin's mouth was her aunt, that is, the ancestor of the Beiming family in the mouths of others.
"Your aunt was a goddess-like existence in their generation." Su Yian said in a low voice.
Bei Ming Zhi Yao smiled: "But my aunt never married, for the Bei Ming family."
"Boy, what's your name?"
The sudden voice made Su Yi An and Bei Ming Zhi Yao look over. Xiong Bin looked at his old friend opposite: "You are old, don't speak so harshly to the younger generation."
"Junior Su Yi An!" Su Yi An said calmly.
"Su Yi An?" Baili Chengze frowned. This name was too familiar, and he was also familiar with this face, but he just couldn't remember it.
Su Yi An looked at Baili Chengze, thinking that Baili Chengze's memory was indeed a problem, but he didn't know whether it was because of his old age or other reasons.
Xiong Bin looked at Baili Chengze's changing expression and was also a little strange. He knew that his old friend's memory had problems in recent years. Sometimes he couldn't even remember his old friend, let alone other people.
But he had never seen Baili Chengze trying hard to remember.
Who is this young man? What kind of origin does he have with Baili Chengze?
Why did Baili Chengze try so hard to remember him?
"Hey, do you know this old man?" In the spiritual world, Ling'er flew out of the spiral nebula and asked curiously.
"Yes, but he is old and doesn't remember me." Su Yian said: "By the way, what do you do in Xinghen every day? You don't talk at ordinary times, and you will come out when you meet someone you are interested in."
"Hehe!" Ling'er snorted proudly: "I just revived and I still need energy to cultivate. How can I have so much energy to take care of your affairs!"
"This fairy is very busy!" Ling'er said, and then changed her tone: "Hey, what does that old man have to do with you?"
Mingming was still a proud look just now, but suddenly became a curious baby, blinking his big eyes, flying around Su Yian's soul body.
Su Yian looked at this fickle fairy speechlessly, and said: "It's more like a teacher-student relationship, but it won't be like this in the future."
"What does this mean?" Ling'er asked curiously.
"You don't have to say two 'what's' to emphasize your curiosity." Su Yian said, then looked at Ling'er and said: "I plan to kill him."
"Is that so..." Ling'er nodded, and then opened her eyes wide: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, what did you say, are you going to kill such an old grandfather?!"
"Yes." Su Yian nodded: "I don't want to, but..."
Su Yian's consciousness withdrew from the spiritual world because two more people came over.
Ling'er looked at the place where Su Yian's soul left, and her pretty face was uncertain: "How could it be like this, why is he like this..."
...
"The arrival of Bei Ming's niece makes this place glorious."
After the hearty voice, Xiong Zhaolin smiled and strode over, with a dragon-like and tiger-like step, full of power.
Bei Ming Zhiyao looked at the visitor and smiled lightly: "Hello, Uncle Xiong."
"Haha, no need to be so polite!" Xiong Zhaolin waved his hand: "My niece can come here to celebrate my father's birthday, it's already..."
"I just came to see Xiaoxin and Chu Mo, there is no other meaning." Bei Ming Zhiyao said forcefully: "I will bless Grandpa Xiong on his 100th birthday, but it just happened to be a coincidence, I don't want to be involved in other things."
Xiong Zhaolin's eyes flashed, this little girl is not easy to deal with.
"Yes, yes, you are right, you see I am confused, you are Chu Mo's friend, you should let Chu Mo treat you well."
Xiong Zhaolin smiled, and then began to change the subject: "The scenery of my mansion is not bad, there are a few better places than here, why not let Chu Mo take you to visit, how about it?"
