Only me in the world is normal

Chapter 557
"who are you?"

Xia Yanzhen got out of the carriage.

The old woman didn't answer, just said "Follow me", turned around and left.

Xia Yan really thought about it and followed.

Following the old woman in the huge Hong Mansion for a while, Xia Yanzhen came to a building called "Bing Xin Tang".

This is the center of the Hong Mansion, and it is mainly used for important receptions and dispatches to the outside world.

Xia Yanzhen came all the way, and didn't see many maids, but there were many servants, servants and the like.

There are also a lot of guards.

Outside the Bing Xin Hall, there were two rows of guards, a total of eight guards.

It exudes a good atmosphere, showing the identity of the Hong family's martial arts family.

It's a pity that the person with the highest force value in the Hong family is not surnamed Hong, which is a bit embarrassing.

The door was open, and a large number of candles were lit inside, illuminating the hall like daytime.

Two vermilion wooden chairs are facing the gate, and on the wall behind is a painting of an ice-blue phoenix spreading its wings. On the painting is a plaque with the words "Bing Xin Tang" written on it.

Everywhere reveals the core position of Venerable Bingfeng, not Hong Xuanwu.

There were two people sitting on two big chairs, a man and a woman, looking at Xia Yanzhen who walked in.

His eyes are like electricity, and his momentum is compelling.

Xia Yanzhen didn't notice it, and looked at the two of them.

The man has a burly figure, a square face, and a long beard. Sitting there, he looks like a tiger dominating a dragon. He is a middle-aged man who looks extremely majestic.

The woman was very young, just looking at her appearance, she was estimated to be in her twenties, her long hair was tied up like a woman from the Tianwu Dynasty, her appearance was beautiful, she had a pair of red and phoenix triangle eyes, and two curved willow-leaf hanging eyebrows.

Dressed in blue and white, without any other colors and unnecessary decorations.

His temperament is cold and fierce, making people feel like falling into an ice cave at a glance, which is enough to cover up his glamorous appearance.

"Master, madam, someone has brought it."

The old woman brought Xia Yanzhen in, said something, and backed out quietly.

The door closed behind Xia Yanzhen.

The sound that came was not the clash of wood, but some kind of metal clash.

A closed door separates the inside from the outside.

The old woman called the man Master, but the other one was Miss.

The master is Hong Xuanwu, he has no daughter, naturally no one in the Hong family can be called a young lady.

Then this young lady is undoubtedly Venerable Ice Phoenix.

The reason why she is called Miss is probably because this old woman is an old man brought by Venerable Bingfeng from her natal family—a role like a nanny who has been taking care of her since she was a child.

He didn't change his address after coming to the Hong Mansion.

It can also be seen from this that some rumors about the Hong family and Hong Xuanwu from the outside world may not be groundless.

An old nanny kept calling her Miss and didn't change her title, which clearly looked down on Hong Xuanwu.

According to the customs of the Tianwu Dynasty, this kind of address is almost a face-to-face scolding that "Hong Xuanwu is not worthy of Venerable Bingfeng".

Hong Xuanwu is very self-restraining, he doesn't get angry, and he may have gotten used to it.

"You don't even salute when you see the mistress or biological father, what a wild boy!" Venerable Bingfeng looked at Xia Yanzhen looking around, and patted the armrest.

With a crisp sound, the temperature in the hall seemed to suddenly drop by dozens of degrees.

"Madam, don't get angry." Hong Xuanwu persuaded with a smile, and then looked at Xia Yanzhen, "It's not easy, don't be afraid, I am your father, Hong Xuanwu."

"I'm not afraid." Xia Yanzhen said with a smile.

"Oh?" Venerable Bingfeng raised his eyebrows, exuding a murderous aura, "I can't see it, you are quite courageous."

"Children, who have never seen the world, are either bold or cowardly." Hong Xuanwu smiled again and smoothed things over, "Madam, you want to see this child, and you have now. Don't scare him, next I'll come, okay?"

"As you wish." Venerable Bingfeng stood up and left through the back door of the hall.

The smile on Hong Xuanwu's face disappeared immediately, and replaced with a vicious expression: "Huh! Damn woman, wait until I break through to the soul-changing stage, see if I don't put you under—"

"Ah!"

However, a sneer interrupted Hong Xuanwu's harsh words, and the temperature in the hall dropped a little more.

"Cough cough."

Hong Xuanwu immediately changed into a smile skillfully, then restrained himself to show a serious expression, then smiled again, and said to Xia Yanzhen: "Come on, come closer, son, let me take a good look at it."

The face-changing speed is fast and smooth enough to be called a master.

The most interesting thing is that even though he kept changing his face, the majestic aura on his body did not disappear.

Xia Yanzhen showed a half-true and half-fake expression of disgust, and did not approach.

Hong Xuanwu simply smiled and stepped forward, patted Xia Yanzhen's shoulders and arms twice, gave him another round, and nodded with great satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, a good-looking talent, worthy of being my son."

In terms of appearance, Hong Xuanwu is still very good.

The two stand together, although they are not similar, but it is not against harmony to say that father and son.

"Are you really my father Hong Xuanwu?"

"It's a fake one." Hong Xuanwu patted his chest with pride.

"Duke Zhen?"

"Yes, Duke Zhen."

"Then am I younger than the prince?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"In your generation, you are only 'younger' than the prince." Hong Xuanwu said, he understood what Xia Yanzhen was asking.

In the circle of the "second generation" in the imperial city, the biggest ones are the princes, and the ones with a lower status than the princes are the princes.

The Tianwu Dynasty naturally had a prince.

However, after Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, all the princes left the imperial city and went to the fief.

The princes don't need to be hostages in the imperial city.

Emperor Apocalypse is truly number one in the world, with super high force value and great power in his hands.

He is not afraid of the prince's rebellion at all, let alone a hostage.

There are basically no heirs in the imperial city, and occasionally they come here on behalf of their father during major festivals.

The prince, the eldest son, and the next one is Sigong's child.

He is called "Little Grandpa" by the outside world.

Among the many little princes, there are four of them, very dandies, who are called the Four Evils of the Imperial City by the people.

"That's good." Xia Yanzhen said, "Then from now on, I won't be bullied anymore, I'm the only one who bullies others, right?"

"Have you ever been bullied?" Hong Xuanwu was furious, "Who dares to touch even my son, Hong Xuanwu?"

"I forgot, but I have this impression." Xia Yanzhen said, "But I was beaten and injured on the road, and I also suffered from soul-loss disease? This must have bullied me."

"Don't worry, I'm already looking for someone."

"Okay, tell me when you find them, and I'll kill them myself to vent my anger!" Xia Yanzhen screamed, murderous.

"Okay, as expected of my son!"

Hong Xuanwu laughed loudly, took Xia Yanzhen to dinner, and settled down.

Waiting outside the door for him to fall asleep before leaving, looking like a dedicated father.

After leaving, Hong Xuanwu met Venerable Bingfeng.

"how is he?"

"It's nothing serious, I'm in good health." Hong Xuanwu said, "I don't know if I'm being stupid or really stupid, but I can't find the palms of our hands."

"That's good, let him awaken as soon as possible." Venerable Bingfeng said, "Xiaoxian doesn't have much time, so I can't wait."

"Even if we succeed in drawing the soul and instilling the soul, Xiao Xian may not be able to reach the state of physical strength, and he will still not be able to inherit the position of Duke." Hong Xuanwu said.

The seat of Duke Zhen is not hereditary.

If you don't reach a certain level of Wuhun master, you won't be able to inherit the position of Duke, and you will be downgraded.

In addition to realm, it can be replaced by other credits.

This credit is basically military exploits.

However, the current Tianwu Dynasty is peaceful all over the world.

Emperor Apocalypse made several personal conquests more than 20 years ago, severely wounding the surrounding barbarians, and did not dare to violate the frontier again for more than ten years.

It has not recovered until now, and there is no behavior of disturbing the border.

There is no war on the border.

Today, the Tianwu Dynasty really has no military exploits to stand on.

There are two credits that can barely be replaced, one is the various monsters in the border of the dynasty.

The second is all kinds of martial arts masters who have fallen into the devil's way.

These two are the shadows of the peaceful and prosperous world, and they come out from time to time to cause some trouble.

However, no matter what kind, it is difficult to make achievements without strength support.

What Hong Xuanwu said was the truth.

Venerable Bingfeng was threatening: "My son, as long as he is a Wuhun master. At that time, I will ask His Majesty for favors, that's enough!"

"Okay." Hong Xuanwu said, "Even if His Majesty gives this favor, wouldn't it be ridiculous for a Duke of Zhen who hasn't even reached the level of physical strength?"

"With me here, who dares to laugh?"

"Others criticize this point in the court, can you still charge up and kill people?" Hong Xuanwu gradually hardened his temper.

"Then don't go up to court."

"What's the use of asking Lord Zhen if you don't go to court?"

"I have only one son, and I want to give him the best!" Venerable Bingfeng showed a fierce look, "Hong Xuanwu, have you repented?"

"Repent?"

Hong Xuanwu sneered, "If Hong Buyi is like you and me, he can awaken his martial soul at the age of five, I will regret it. But he is really that kind of person, and he can't live here. Not even one of them can survive." A person who has awakened his martial soul, would I repent for such a waste?"

"Are you saying Xiaoxian is a waste?" Venerable Bingfeng screamed.

Think Hong Xuanwu pointed at Sang and scolded Huai.

"Damn it—as if Xiaoxian isn't my son!" Hong Xuanwu scolded his mother on the spot, then took a long breath to calm down, "It's useless not to talk about it. According to our agreement, if Hong Buyi can't awaken Wu Soul, let him live a good life, a waste is not worth your trouble."

"Hmph, I keep my word, I hope you don't break your word." Venerable Bingfeng said.

"I have always kept my promises, and you should know it over the years."

Venerable Bingfeng didn't say much, and left the last sentence: "Let's start tomorrow." Turned and left.

Hong Xuanwu looked at Venerable Bingfeng's back and snorted, and also left.

The two have always slept in separate rooms.

Except for the one or two months when they got married, they never had intercourse.

The reason is that the martial arts practiced by Venerable Bingfeng are not suitable for intercourse.

Although Hong Xuanwu lacked heirs, he did not lack women, so naturally he would not go to this woman to be angry.

"I don't understand, what are these two people doing."

In the room, Xia Yanzhen put away the observation mirror.

The two seemed to be arguing, but they didn't know what they were arguing about.

the next morning.

Xia Yanzhen was sent to the courtyard for breakfast, which meant that he was not allowed to move freely.

Just after breakfast, Hong Xuanwu came over: "Son, son, come, father wants to give you a big gift."

"What ceremony?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"Let you become a martial soul master! How about it, is Gao happy, surprised or not?" Hong Xuanwu laughed.
