Fruit fairy

Chapter 13
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, an old man sits upright on it. He is thin and wears a plain Taoist robe.

"Young master, young master, great joy!" Chen Shiliu's excited voice came first before he saw anyone.

"Oh?" Chen Youdao, City Lord Chen's heart moved, he stood up and looked outside the hall.

After a while, two figures walked in, and Chen Shiliu said with joy on his face:

"Master, this person's name is Li Can, a native of the Li family in the west of the city. He entered through the west gate at the age of sixteen. He was left behind by the patriarch of the Li clan to attract the snake demon with the old and weak because of his health. As a result, only thirty or so people He survived, so it seems that he is a person of great fortune."

"Li Can and Feng Can are amazing?"

Chen Youdao was startled inwardly, and immediately remembered the sloppy divination man he met outside Gannan City when he was young and traveled around with the bookboy Chen Shiliixun's immortal visitor.

He couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart that there are so many wonders in the world, that a mere mortal can predict every word of the prophet, Chen Youdao thought about it carefully, but suddenly found that he didn't have the slightest impression of this person's appearance, and was shocked in his heart.

As a monk on the thirteenth level of Qi training, he can't remember a person's appearance, is that okay?

Is it my own memory loss?Or is it that this person is not actually a mortal, but a high-level monk who has traveled around the world of mortals?

Of course, memory decay is unlikely, and Chen Youdao suddenly understood everything.

At that time, I had a pair of mortal naked eyes, but the immortal master didn't recognize it when I met him face to face.After that, it took several years before he was finally able to join Zhanlongguan's sect, and he worked hard step by step from the outer disciples.

After that, although he finally reached the thirteenth level, he was nearly thirty years old when he joined the sect. , Fighting with one's life many times to complete the mission of the sect, and then to obtain a lot of resources, and after a lot of hard work, this is the state of today.

However, the failure to establish the foundation twice made him let go of his obsessions, and now he has become indifferent, so he left the sect and stayed here in a quiet corner, away from all kinds of disputes among the sects.

Seeing that he was silent and deep in thought, Li Can didn't know what he meant, so he could only stand quietly and wait for a while.

"Master, master?" Chen Shiliu saw that he suddenly lost his mind and didn't know what to think, so he hurriedly reminded him.

Chen Youdao looked over with a light cough, and Li Can hurriedly saluted the city lord respectfully: "My lord, my name is Li Can, and I'm from the Li family. I don't know what orders the lord of the city has for calling you here?"

Chen Youdao nodded slightly and said with a kind smile: "You and I should be destined in this life, come on, take a few steps forward and let me take a closer look at your qualifications."

Li Can's heart tightened, he is a soul wearer, once this old man sees his flaws, the result may be unpredictable.But at this moment, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so he could only dawdle forward with a cautious expression.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a man-eating tiger." Chen Youdao smiled and stretched out his hand. Li Can felt his whole body tense and flew forward uncontrollably, landing in front of the old man.

Chen Youdao raised his hand and grabbed his wrist, urging a trace of mana to swim in Li Can's body.

After a while, he only heard a soft "hmm", and his half-closed eyes suddenly opened and were extremely bright. Looking at Li Can, he said slowly:

"At that time, Zhenling just took a quick glance. Although he found that you had the aptitude for cultivation, he didn't check it carefully after all. He didn't expect to be surprised continuously today."

Chen Youdao paused slightly and continued: "Do you know your aptitude? Besides, do you have monks in the Li clan?"

Although Li Can didn't understand the intention of his words, he still answered truthfully:

"I'm just an ordinary person who doesn't know my aptitude. There are no monks in my Li clan, otherwise I wouldn't be driven here by a snake demon."

Chen Youdao nodded his head with a smile on his face, but he thought of something and asked again:

"There are rumors that your family with the surname Li moved here from thousands of miles away more than a hundred years ago. Do you know the relationship between your family and the suzerain?"

Li Can nodded and replied: "I heard about it when I was young. It is said that our lineage used to be a remote branch of the Li family's cultivating immortal family, but I don't know the details. Only the patriarch should know about it. Bar."

"However, as far as I know, there are tens of millions of Xiuxian clans in Yulong Prefecture alone, and there are countless remote branches. Generally speaking, only the head of the clan knows about the inheritance. By the way, your clan The patriarch of the family can be here?"

Li Can said with a sad face: "The old patriarch has died."

Li Can explained the matter in detail, then Chen Youdao nodded slightly after hearing this:
"Although he is a mortal, but for the sake of the prosperity of the ethnic group, he can disregard his personal life and death. He can thoroughly consider various pros and cons in a short period of time. Although he acts a little harshly, he is also quite decisive. He sacrifices the few to preserve the majority. An outstanding man."

Although Li Can knew that the old patriarch's move was not aimed at him, and it was the best choice in terms of the situation at that time, but when he thought of how desperate he was at that time, he felt mixed feelings in his heart and didn't know what to say, so he simply shut up. up.

"Where is the new patriarch Li Mo? I have something to ask when I brought him here." Chen Youdao looked at his old school boy and said to Chen Shiliu.

Not long after, two burly figures came to the front of the hall, one of them was Chen Tianhao, the head of the hall, and immediately knelt down in front of the hall to pay respects:
"Great-great-grandson Chen Tianhao, pay respects to the ancestor."

But Li Mo looked at a loss, and after being pulled by Chen Tianhao, he followed suit.

"Get up."

After Chen Youdao waved his hand, he looked at Li Mo and asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Lord City Master, according to the old patriarch, our lineage is originally the descendant of the miners sent here by the suzerain of the Li family. As early as decades ago, because the mine vein collapsed, the ancestor patriarch was also buried in it. The suzerain has lost contact."

"And the token of returning to the sect has also disappeared. It is very likely that it was buried in the mine with the former patriarch. The old patriarch has never seen anyone from the suzerain's line come to him in the past few decades after he took office. It should be our branch. Totally gave up."

After hearing what Li Mo said, Li Can realized that the old patriarch had made arrangements before, and he was worried that if something happened to him, the lineage would not be cut off. Lessons in the veins.

"The Guizong Token is also missing?" Chen Youdao nodded, looked at Li Can suddenly, and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, I'm relieved."

As soon as these words came out, except for Chen Shiliu, the other three people in the hall were stunned for no reason. Li Can was even more puzzled by Erzhang Monk and looked over. I don't know what the city lord Chen is worried about after asking for a long time. .

"Leaving aside your aptitude, let me ask you in front of everyone, are you willing to worship this old man as your teacher?"

As soon as these words came out, needles could be heard silently falling in the hall. Chen Tianhao and Li Mo were even more surprised. After looking at each other, they found that the other's mouth could already fit a fist.

"Master, this Li Can seems to have been frightened by the huge surprise." Chen Shiliu looked at Li Can again at this time, and continued:
"What are you waiting for if you don't hurry up and kowtow? How many people in this Sifang city want to worship under the door of the city lord, but they all fail to do so because of insufficient blessings. Why are you still hesitating when you have this opportunity?"

At this time, Li Mo also came to his senses, and said with ecstasy, "Li Can kowtows quickly to pay homage to the teacher. No one can ask for such a romantic relationship. What are you waiting for?"

Li Can finally reacted, and quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed.

Only then did Chen Youdao say with a satisfied smile, "That's very good. I have built this Sifang City for 30 years, and today I finally accepted the disciples and have the mantle of inheritance. From now on, you will be the Young City Lord of this Sifang City. After that, the Chen and Li families There is also a backing to rely on, so that the in-law clans protect each other, and both clans can prosper and prosper for a long time."

It is not a secret that the city lord Shouyuan is approaching in this city, so it is not unusual for him to have such an arrangement at the moment, so Chen Tianhao and Li Mo couldn't help guessing so after hearing the city lord's words.

However, Li Can, who is only sixteen years old, has the roots of wisdom and the qualifications for cultivation, which really surprised the two of them. However, since the ancestor of the Chen family was willing to accept him as a disciple, he would not be wrong. This young man is the one he needs to rely on in the future.

Thinking of this, the two immediately stepped forward to salute Li Can respectfully, not daring to show any disrespect.

"I still have something to say to my disciples. You should step back first. That's right, that great-great-grandson. From now on, the Chen and Li clans will become in-law clans. You should settle them properly and don't neglect them."

Chen Tianhao naturally understands the deep meaning of the ancestor. After the death of the ancestor in ten or eight years, the only one who can rely on him is the young man named Li Can. It won't be easy either.

So he naturally didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly arranged Li Mo and his clan to rest in the best inn, and agreed with Li Mo to choose a good location for the Li clan to resettle their property tomorrow, which will not be mentioned here for the time being.
