living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 269

The Zhao family's main residence is located in the center of Yunfu Mountain Villa. It is the largest courtyard with a building area. The vermilion gate reveals a solemn and ancient charm, and even the courtyard walls are higher than others, giving it the majesty of a wealthy family.

Introduced by the polite servants of the Zhao family, the courtyard is decorated with rocks and winding corridors. The garden landscape alone is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

It seems that here is not in the same season as the outside, a clear stream is introduced from Yunfu Mountain, and you can smell the fragrance of lotus flowers when you walk on the veranda.

Passing through the corridor and veranda, and then passing the arch bridge, we came to the courtyard of the Zhao family in Lingnan. This hall should be the side hall on the west side of the house. It looks like a study room. Hanging misty ink painting.

The two old men behind the screen were playing chess, Zhao Xiuxian smiled and nodded when he saw Zhao Jingcai appear.

Zhao Jingcai was not shy about who was older than whom, and when he saw the young Zhao Xiuxian, he called affectionately: "Young Patriarch."

The voice was very low, but Patriarch Zhao still noticed Zhao Jingcai and his party who had just entered the door, and glanced over here.

Heizi landed, and then he smiled at the old man opposite, "I was a dead player in this game, and it's rare to make it this far."

"Your chess skills have regressed." The old man on the opposite side also laughed, glanced at Zhao Jingcai, looked it over carefully and said: "Your guest is here, let's just let this game go first."

Patriarch Zhao put down the chess pieces, and immediately someone came over to clean them up. He looked at the young people around Zhao Jingcai with interest in his cloudy old eyes.

"Don't disturb Patriarch Yaxing, I'll just wait outside." Zhao Jingcai smiled flatteringly.

"No, no, my old eyes are dim, and I get sleepy when I play chess."

The head of the Zhao family waved his hand. Although he looked old and haggard, he was still energetic. He stopped the servant who wanted to help him and sat on the main seat in the study.

"Jingcai, how many years haven't you been back?" Patriarch Zhao put on a pair of glasses, saw Zhao Jingcai's appearance clearly, and laughed again.

"It's been 20 years, so you're getting old."

Zhao Jingcai showed a flattered expression on his face and replied: "It's been 20 years." He looked at the old head of the family and said: "The head of the house is still as energetic as before. He doesn't look like an octogenarian, unlike me, my nephew. A few days ago, there were still children calling me uncle."

Patriarch Zhao was so amused that he burst into laughter and pointed at Zhao Jingcai, "He is still as crooked as when he was a child."

Then he smiled and looked at the young people behind Zhao Jingcai, "Which two are your children? I heard they are talented?"

Zhao Jingcai immediately turned to his sons and daughters, looked serious, and immediately said: "Hongxuan, Jingshu, meet the Patriarch soon."

Zhao Hongxuan and Zhao Jingshu immediately bent down and saluted the old Patriarch Zhao, and then Zhao Jingcai brought them to the front desk.

Seeing the nervous expressions of the two young men, Patriarch Zhao laughed and then waved.

"Come here, let me take a look at the spiritual roots for you."

The two of them followed suit, and cautiously came to the old Patriarch Zhao, with a look of nervous anticipation.

"Hmm..." Patriarch Zhao looked at the two young men carefully, and then touched their foreheads, with a smile on his face, but there was no obvious change.

"It does have spiritual roots and is a seedling suitable for cultivation."

Zhao Hongxuan and Zhao Jingshu looked at each other, both a little pleasantly surprised. Although they had invited other experts before, they were now personally approved by the old Patriarch.

Zhao Jingcai also showed joy, and couldn't stop smiling.

"However"

Zhao Jingcai restrained his smile and looked at the old Patriarch Zhao's eyes without blinking, afraid that things would turn around again.

Patriarch Zhao glanced at Zhao Xiuxian who was standing beside him, and didn't continue the second half of the sentence, but Zhao Xiuxian shook his head in disappointment, his expression no longer looking forward to it.

"It's quite satisfactory." Mr. Zhao took a sip of tea, looked past the two young men, and said to Zhao Jingcai: "They must be more talented than you. You can let them enter the family tree, and they can follow Xiu Wu for advice in the future."

Zhao Jingcai's mood was ups and downs. After hearing this sentence, he was ecstatic, but there was only a gratified smile on his face. He bowed and said sincerely: "It's best to be included in the family tree. Thank you, Patriarch, for your kindness."

He originally had no intention of letting his son and daughter enter the mountains to practice as a hermit. This result was what he wanted. It could not only take advantage of the power of the Zhao family in Lingnan, but also fulfill his regret of not being able to practice.

Zhao Hongxuan is also very satisfied with this result. He has been coveting his father's property for a long time, but he only saw a wider world after knowing the Zhao family in Lingnan. Family tree, becoming a master, stepping down his father's other children, this is what he wants.

"You don't need to be so grateful." Patriarch Zhao shook his head, "My Zhao family will not treat talented juniors badly."

Zhao Jingcai smiled and nodded, complimenting him repeatedly.

Zhao Ziyu sniffed lightly, and there was a faint scent of medicine in the room, so he wondered in the soul link: "Snow lotus, Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps, ginseng"

"What's wrong?" Mu Lan asked.

"A few powerful herbs." Zhao Ziyu pondered for a moment, "Is there something wrong with the old Patriarch?"

"It looks very energetic." Lin Yiyi said, "It looks like a strong body, not like a serious illness."

"At this age, it's not surprising to get any disease." Zhao Ziyu said: "What I'm curious about is, will the chosen ones also get sick? Can't they be cured by spending some points in the Lord God Space?"

"It may not be the God's Chosen One." Mu Lan pondered: "If the ancient martial arts family holds the items that inherit the God's Chosen One, then it would be wise not for everyone to enter the world of reincarnation to work hard. There will always be someone to run the business in the real world. The family is in charge of daily chores.”

"It makes sense." Zhao Ziyu agreed, "The lives of the God's Chosen are at risk. If the head of the family is also the God's Chosen, he will almost tie his head to his waist. If there is any damage to the family, he will be implicated."

"Yeah." Lin Yiyi also thought it made sense.

When several people looked back and forth, the old Patriarch Zhao obviously noticed the people behind Zhao Jingcai, raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhao Jingcai and said, "Then who are these juniors?"

"Oh!" Zhao Jingcai patted Zhao Ziyu on the shoulder immediately, and introduced to the old Patriarch: "This is my eldest son, and the rest are his friends, all young men with extraordinary skills."

Mr. Zhao glanced at Zhao Ziyu casually, then as if he had noticed something, his eyes moved back motionlessly, with sharp eyes.

Zhao Ziyu was inexplicably looked at by the old Patriarch, this look almost seemed to want to see through him, he looked up and down several times.

"Come here!" Patriarch Zhao's tone was serious, and he waved his hand.

"Me?" Zhao Ziyu pointed at himself, and then looked at his father next to him in confusion.

Zhao Jingcai was also very puzzled. The old Patriarch's expression had been calm just now, but now it suddenly changed.

"Go as soon as you are told, be polite." Zhao Jingcai said in a low voice.

Zhao Ziyu reluctantly agreed, and walked forward slowly. At this time, behind the screen that had been neglected all the time, the old man who played chess with Zhao's old patriarch also cast his gaze over.

Zhao Xiuxian also looked over. The feeling of being in the spotlight made Zhao Ziyu a little uncomfortable. He scratched his hair awkwardly. He had only come with him. He thought the two brothers and sisters were the protagonists today.
