Chapter 183 Family Reunion Banquet

In a few days, it will be New Year's Eve again.

New Year's Eve is one of the few days when the Hu family in Yuchuan celebrates together.

For a time, nearly 200 people from the family in Yuchuan's ancestral land gathered together.

The banquet was held in a large garden between the east and west courtyards. The vegetation in the garden had been carefully pruned, and festive little red lanterns were hung up.
Even more ingenious girls from the Hu family cut out a lot of patterns of auspicious animals in different shapes with red colored paper, and pasted them on the courtyard walls and pillars.

There were nearly twenty tables set up in the garden, and a ruyi-shaped mat carved with red sandalwood and slightly curled at both ends was placed on the top of the banquet table.

Seventh Grandpa Hu Weiyi, Ninth Grandpa Hu Weiming, and several other elderly men and women who were also not young sat at the head of the red sandalwood table.

And behind another small mahogany table on their left side, there are three teenagers sitting neatly side by side, the oldest boy is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the other two look younger boys and girls He was only twelve or thirteen years old.

The only girl among the three of them was looking around with a pair of bright round eyes, and finally found the figure she was looking for on the seats in the back rows, and she was relieved and relieved.

As soon as Liu Xiaolu turned his gaze back to the various delicacies on the table, he heard a clear and bright boyish voice from the left.

Turning his head to look, he saw the fourth brother Hu Ruhai who was sitting on the far left with a gentle smile on his lips, and said to the boy in white beside him, "Xiao Xing, I haven't seen you come looking for me for a while, I don't know How is your recent training going?"

Hearing this, Hu Ruxing put down the jade lamp in his hand, smashed it, turned his head with a bitter face, and said, "Fourth brother, don't talk about it, my father has been watching me closely lately, and he is watching me practice at home every day."

The smile on Hu Ruhai's face remained unchanged, and he said in a gentle voice, "This is strange, Uncle Wu always loves you the most, how could he be willing to not give you time to rest and take a bath for several months?"

"It's all thanks to the little gourd." Hu Ruxing pointed at the girl in white beside her, and said with a curled lip.

"Oh?" Hu Ruhai raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Liu Xiaolu raised eyebrows even more, and retorted angrily, "It's obvious that you are lazy and slippery on weekdays. What does it have to do with me if you don't practice well?"

Hu Ruxing shrugged and said, "Who told you to practice so fast, which made the old man feel a sense of crisis, and that's why he strictly ordered my father to urge me to practice."

"Routine daily practice is what my generation of immortal cultivators should do. I am afraid that you are the only one in Yuchuan. Uncle Wu needs to watch you practice every day." Liu Xiaolu rolled his eyes and couldn't help but criticize this Brat.

Before Hu Ruxing could say anything more, Hu Ruhai on the other side took over and echoed, "Xiaolu is right, Xiaoxing, your aptitude is so good, Fifth Uncle and Third Grandpa have high hopes for you, you really shouldn't be so slack It is."

Liu Xiaolu gloated after hearing the words, "Did you hear that, fourth brother also said that you are slack in practicing kung fu?"

Hu Ruxing blushed, snorted a little dissatisfied, and said angrily, "Little gourd, you wait, at most half a year, I will be able to break through the eighth level of Qi refining, and then let's see what you have to say!"

Hearing this, Hu Ruhai's face changed slightly, but he congratulated with a smile, "Since that's the case, then brother Yu, today I will congratulate you in advance for breaking through the late stage of Qi refining."

Liu Xiaolu had a qi concealment technique on her body, so in the eyes of others, she was still at the seventh level of qi refining, so she couldn't help laughing at this moment, "Yes, yes, the first genius of the Hu family, then I'll just wait Watching you break through in half a year."

"The time difference between you and I breaking through the seventh level of Qi refining is not too far. Why don't we compare who will break through the eighth level of Qi refining in half a year?" After all, Hu Ruxing is a teenager at heart. Heart.

"I don't want to compare with you. The third grandpa must have prepared a lot of treasures for you. Our family has no resources." Liu Xiaolu waved his hands hurriedly.

She has no interest in this gamble, and if she cultivates steadily until the opening of the Clear Water Cave, she can take the whole family away.

She is not stupid, so she doesn't want to fight for the top bird at this time.

During this period of time, the more low-key she is, the better. Once she attracts the attention of interested people, it will not only be harmful to her escape plan, but will also implicate many people.

Unexpectedly, Hu Ruxing was dissatisfied when he heard the words, "You are talking nonsense! I clearly..."

Halfway through the speech, the boy in white suddenly stopped talking as if he knew he had made a slip of the tongue.

Hu Ruhai's eyes moved, and he asked aloud, "Xiao Xing, what did you say about you just now?"

Hu Ruxing smiled sheepishly, and prevaricated with some embarrassment, "Well, I, I obviously don't have any treasures, but it's just that grandpa occasionally sends a few extra bottles of Golden Essence Pill.

But you also know that my grandfather retreats all year round, and it often takes several years to get out of the retreat. Every time he can't stay with the family for a few days, he goes back to the cave for retreat. "

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Hu Ruhai didn't ask any more questions, just nodded slightly, and didn't say any more.

On the contrary, after Liu Xiaolu and Hu Ruxing exchanged a few more words, Hu Ruxing suddenly heard a cry of surprise, pointed to a seat on the lower right of them and said, "Look, Sixth Sister! Sixth Sister has actually broken through to Qi Refining!" It's the fifth floor!"

Hearing that Sixth Sister appeared here, Liu Xiaolu was startled and hurriedly looked up.

I saw a beautiful girl in white clothes sitting at the same table with several other boys and girls from the clan. The girl had fair skin and exquisite eyebrows and eyes, but for some reason she had a gloomy look on her face.

The long and curly eyelashes drooped slightly, and the pair of water-cut autumn eyes that should have been like two clear springs seemed a little lifeless at the moment.

"It's really strange. After two years, the sixth sister finally broke through to the fifth level of Qi refining, but why does she seem very unhappy instead?" Hu Ruxing scratched her head, wondering.

Liu Xiaolu opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to speak. Few people in Yuchuan knew about the agreement that Hu Weiyi had made with the monk of Hedao Sect.

On the other hand, Hu Ruhai, who was at the side, sighed, looked away, and said in a deep tone, "Ruyi has her own difficulties. This matter cannot be controlled by you and me. It is useless to talk about it."

Hu Ruxing was taken aback, and immediately turned to look at his elder brother, who wanted to inquire, but he seemed unwilling to say more, so he closed his mouth resentfully, and insisted on the dishes on the table.

But who would have thought that just as the chopsticks reached halfway, they were knocked off by a small white hand.

"Don't worry, we won't start eating until the patriarch arrives." Liu Xiaolu gave him a sideways look, and pouted at the rows of seats below.

Sure enough, up to this moment, there was no one eating chopsticks at the table filled with delicious food and wine.

Hu Ruxing curled his lips, and muttered in a low voice, "Fourth brother didn't say anything, this little gourd is really annoying."

Liu Xiaolu's ears moved slightly, and the left hand hanging by his side pinched the soft flesh on the young man's waist, and said in a low voice, "You, say, what?"

　Thank you [Big Brother Who Holds Young Purple] for the rewards!
　　Thank you very much!

　　The slag mushroom bowed down!
