Chapter 25

When Chu Yao passed through the city gate, she saw a long bluestone road. There were tall and exquisite buildings on the left and right sides of the road, and people came and went on the street.

The people here are all mortals, and when they saw Chu Hongwen, they all saluted respectfully.

Chu Hongwen returned the salutes one by one with a smile. The monks were always arrogant and regarded ordinary people as nothing. This was the first time that Chu Yao, a good-tempered monk like Chu Hongwen, saw it.

"This is the outer city! All the people living here are direct relatives of the Chu family." Chu Hongwen explained as he walked, "After you enter the genealogy, you can move your relatives to live here."

"Really? That's really great." Chu Yao pretended to be excited and happy, and tried her best to play the role of a rural girl who had never seen the world.

"Well," Chu Hongwen didn't notice Chu Yao's strangeness, nodded and said, "Someone will take your parents and relatives over in two days."

"Thank you Thirteenth Brother."

Chu Yao can tell that the residents of the outer city are living a good life. Everyone is made of silk and satin, with a rich expression on their faces, which is completely different from the miserable villagers in Lingshui Village. No wonder the villagers of Lingshui Village value immortals so much In the selection meeting, one person really attains the Tao, and the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

Chu Hongwen brought Chu Yao to the inner city. Compared with the outer city, it was a different scene.

There are many trees, the houses are exquisite, and the air is quiet.

Chu Yao nodded secretly in her heart, this is in line with the atmosphere of a cultivating family.

"This is the meeting hall of our clan." Chu Hongwen took Chu Yao to a hall, and saw a middle-aged monk wearing a blue robe sitting in the middle of the hall. The head of the Chu family, Chu Tianqin.

The elders of the clan sitting on the left and right of him are all at the early stage of foundation establishment, and they look older than the clan leader.

Chu Yao saw the three foundation-building monks of the Chu family looking at her at the same time, she couldn't help feeling guilty, lowered her head, and looked at her toes.

"Patriarch, elder." Chu Hongwen bowed his hands and said, "This little girl is named Chu Yao, and she has three spiritual roots, and she was brought back by my second brother from Lingshui Village."

"Why did you bring her in?" The dignified tall and thin elder sitting on the left hand side of the patriarch asked seriously, "Where did Chu Weihai go?"

"Second brother has something to do, so he asked me to bring it in." Chu Hongwen also seemed very guilty, his voice weakened, and he didn't dare to look into the tall and thin elder's eyes.

"Hmph!" The tall and thin elder slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily, "This brat must be chasing women again."

"Cough cough!" The short and fat elder sitting on the right hand side of the patriarch suddenly coughed twice, and said in a low voice, "Pay attention to the occasion, pay attention to the image."

The tall and thin elder glanced at the little girl who was standing next to Chu Hongwen, trembling with fright, and shut up resentfully.

"Tianhua, since this girl was brought back by Weihai, let her practice with you." The patriarch Chu Tianqin explained to the tall and thin old man.

"Yes, patriarch." The tall and thin old man stood up immediately and agreed with his hands. He was also a foundation cultivator, but he was very respectful to the patriarch Chu Tianqin.

But it's no wonder that in the world of cultivating immortals, strength means everything. As the only mid-stage foundation-building monk in the family, Chu Tianqin naturally has a high status.

The patriarch Chu Tianqin then said to Chu Yao indifferently: "Chu Yao, from today on you are a member of our Chu family, practice hard in the future, and don't disappoint our expectations."

"Yes." Chu Yao lowered her head deeply, and replied in a weak voice.

"Chu Yao, raise your head up!" Elder Chu Tianhua saw Chu Yao's submissive look, and said displeasedly, "What does it look like to shrink your head?"

"Yes." Chu Yao answered with a crying voice, raised her pitiful little face, as if she was so afraid that she was about to shed tears at any time.

Patriarch Chu Tianqin saw Chu Yao's cowardly appearance, shook his head insignificantly, and said to himself: This child is cowardly, and it is difficult to become a master.

We must know that the resources in the cultivation world are scarce and the competition is fierce. It is useless for monks to improve their cultivation only by working hard behind closed doors. They must have the ability to guard their own opportunities.

Elder Chu Tianhua saw Chu Yao's rustic attire, and coupled with the young daughter-in-law's bullied expression, Wuming anger immediately rose from his heart, his brows were frowned and his old face was black, and he was about to hurl curses at others.

"The patriarch, the elder. Chu Yao is still young, and she must have been scared enough by the second brother along the way, and she hasn't recovered yet." Chu Hongwen hurried out to smooth things over and said, "Why don't I take her down to rest first."

When the elder Chu Tianhua heard Chu Weihai's name, he looked angry again, and said, "Okay, you take her down to rest first. When you see that brat Chu Weihai comes back, let him come to see me immediately."

"Yes." Chu Hongwen nodded, and left the hall with Chu Yao.

"Brother Thirteen, have I offended the elder?"

Chu Yao lowered her head, her tone was extremely depressed, as if she wanted to cry.

"Nothing." Chu Hongwen quickly comforted Chu Yao and said, "Although Elder Tianhua is strict, he actually cares about us disciples very much."

"I'm so useless." Chu Yao wiped the corners of her eyes and said with self-pity: "The elder must hate me."

"Chu Yao, don't underestimate yourself." Chu Hongwen's temper is really good enough. Seeing Chu Yao's useless appearance, he can still enlighten him gently: "You have the qualifications of the three spiritual roots. Li is also considered a good qualification. So as long as you practice hard, you will definitely become a talent."

Chu Yao was completely defeated by Chu Hongwen's gentleness. She had black lines on her face and thought depressedly: My sister doesn't want to become a talent here!
The purpose of her pretending to be a coward is to leave a bad impression on everyone in the Chu family. It is best to ignore her, so that she can keep a low profile in the Chu family and prepare for joining the Lingxu sect.

Judging from the expressions of the patriarch and elders just now, Chu Yao has already achieved the goal of being underestimated by them. As for Chu Hongwen, Chu Yao has no way to break his halo of the Virgin.

Chu Hongwen took Chu Yao to enter the family tree, and found that he was ranked No. 13, and broke out in a cold sweat. Just now, he was laughing that Chu Hongwen was the [-]th brother, and now he is the No. [-] younger sister.

Fortunately, Chu Hongwen didn't have the slightest idea of ​​calling Chu Yao's third sister, and led her to receive the clan's exercises with a normal expression, and finally took her to an elegant courtyard in the southeast corner, where there were three small rooms. There are also fragrant pear trees in the yard.

"Chu Yao, this is your house, and you will practice here from now on. If you are hungry, you can go to the kitchen steward to get firewood, food and rice to cook for yourself, or you can go directly to the canteen in the clan to eat." Chu Hongwen explained the daily precautions in detail, pointed out his residence to Chu Yao, and then left.

After sending Chu Hongwen away, Chu Yao went around the three huts in the small courtyard. Although the huts were well furnished, they were all covered with a thin layer of dust, and no one should have lived in them for a long time.

Chu Yao lived in a broken mud house in Lingshui Village for a month, and she has already developed a strong ability to take care of herself. She went to the yard to find a broom, cleaned the house, chose the cabin in the middle as the master bedroom, and then went to the kitchen The management office received firewood and rice, and planned to practice in closed room from now on.

After Chu Yao filled her stomach casually, she couldn't wait to take out the Chu family's secret skills and prepare to practice. Lingshui Village couldn't practice for a month, which really suffocated her to death.
