Chapter 274 Father and Son, Rivalry

The two climbed up the bluestone steps one after the other. They didn't feel much at the bottom of the mountain. They didn't realize that the place was very wide until they stood on the top of the mountain. It's a bit majestic.

Xia Mingyi's expression immediately turned a little more respectful, but the young man in white frowned, kept on stepping, and entered the courtyard directly past the guards who bowed their heads in salute.

In the hall of the main room, a burly middle-aged man was standing silently with his hands behind his back.When Xu Shi heard footsteps, he suddenly turned around, revealing a face as cold as a knife, and a stern look flashed in his eyes, as if he could freeze people to death in an instant.

Xia Mingyi looked so arrogant in front of people, but when he saw this middle-aged man, he immediately knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and then tremblingly reported, "Master Wan'an, Xia Mingyi is here to deliver the task."

That middle-aged man was none other than the legendary Maitreya Hierarch who never sees his head or ends. He usually wears a mask, and only those he trusts can occasionally see his true face.Now that he actually took off his mask and stood here waiting, how excited Xia Mingyi felt was beyond words.

"Get up." The middle-aged man stretched out his hand to help him, and said calmly.

Xia Mingyi kowtowed his head excitedly because of this sentence before getting up, and then respectfully reported, "Thanks to the lord Hong Fu, my subordinates are lucky to live up to their fate."

"Oh, I received the news from you earlier that you have successfully obtained the seal. Thank you for your hard work." The middle-aged man didn't know what to think of, his eyes brightened, and he praised, "You are the most powerful person in the sect." Yes, I have recorded this credit. Hand over the seal, go down and get ten Yiqi Pills, and then rest."

When Xia Mingyi heard the reward, his voice trembled with joy.Yiqi Pill is a unique medicine in Maitreya Sect. It is said that it was formulated by a friend of the leader, a genius doctor, and countless precious medicinal materials were used.Eating one pill can increase five success powers for nothing, and last for an hour. To him, this is like adding half a life.After all, when fighting, many of them are evenly matched. It would be good if they could add one point to help, let alone a full five points. It would be an overwhelming victory.

"Thank you, Hierarch, for the reward. I will definitely do my best in the future!" While speaking, he glanced at the silent young man in white beside him in embarrassment.

The middle-aged man was extremely shrewd, seeing this, how could he not know the reason, so he waved his hand and said, "You go down first."

Xia Mingyi, as if he had received an amnesty, quickly took a few steps back, then turned around and hurried away.He also has some status in the church, and he has heard a thing or two about the rumors that the leader and the young master father and son had a disagreement, so of course he would not be so stupid as to stay and be caught in the middle.

Sure enough, the boy in white glanced at the hall and there was no one there, and immediately asked, "Where is my mother, how is she?"

The middle-aged man frowned, and scolded, "A man puts his great career first, and always misses a woman. How can I let you rest assured that I will entrust you with the important things in teaching?"

"A woman?" The young man in white was even more annoyed when he heard the words, his face darkened obviously, and he squeezed out each word from his teeth, and asked, "The woman you are talking about is my mother! As a son of man, I miss her What's wrong? But father, shouldn't you also fulfill the responsibility of a husband, my mother is your first wife!"

The middle-aged man seemed extremely unwilling to mention this topic, waved his hand impatiently, and asked, "The seal is on your body, let me have a look!"

The young man in white reached into his arms and took out the simple ring. Thinking of what happened that day, a flash of guilt flashed in his eyes, but when he looked up, he still looked cold, "I took it back. What about you? Shouldn't it be time to visit my mother?"

The middle-aged man stretched out his right hand, snatched the ring from his son like lightning, looked at it carefully with his eyes burning, and said perfunctorily, "You go down the mountain first, I will be there later."

The young man in white was very angry, and when he was about to speak, the middle-aged man shouted loudly to the guards outside the door, "Call the four guardians, we have important matters to discuss!"

"Yes, Master." The guards agreed and left to deliver the letters. The boy in white looked at his half-crazed father who was holding the ring. After all, he turned around and went down the mountain without saying anything.

The snow-covered mountains in winter, the scenery is somewhat worth seeing.Under the white snow, occasionally black rocks are exposed, together with the pines and cypresses that are proud of the wind and frost, they form an ink-like picture scroll.A few unknown birds flew across the sky, and their calls crossed the quiet mountain forest, which was uniquely leisurely.

But the young man in white didn't care to appreciate all this. He walked quickly, ignoring the salutes and greetings of those who went up the mountain, and only wanted to visit his sick mother earlier.

When he left that day, she was already unable to move around, and she was leaning on the bed all day, and now she is not sure if she has improved.

However, God probably forgot to go out with a compassionate heart today.The boy in white had just walked into the small courtyard on the west side of the villa when he heard the screams of maidservants in the room.

For some reason, his heart shrank suddenly, and he rushed into the half-open room with a few dodges.

In the elegantly furnished and simple room, a servant girl was standing by the bed and screaming in shock, a blue and white porcelain bowl rolled on the carpet, and the concoction with a strong bitter taste was sprinkled on the carpet, still bubbling faintly. white heat.

But on the bed hung with light blue curtains, the haggard woman was breathless.

The boy in white's legs went limp, and suddenly he knelt on the ground and couldn't move an inch. After finally taking a breath, he struggled to climb to the side of the bed, hugged the lady gently, and called, "Mom, I'm back. Your baby My brother is back, what's wrong with you, open your eyes and look at me."

However, no matter how the white-clothed young man called, the woman didn't respond at all, only a pair of dull eyes stared at the door, and refused to close them no matter what.

The servant girl probably came back to her senses at this moment, although she was terrified in her heart, she still had the courage to persuade her in a low voice, "Master, madam... madam is gone." After finishing speaking, she seemed afraid that the boy in white would complain about her The waiter was not good enough, so he quickly explained, "Madam said she wanted to lie down by herself for a while, so I went to cook medicine in the stove. The little maid was not careful, and I was afraid that the soup would be boiled. I didn't mean that I didn't stay here..."

The boy in white didn't seem to hear what she said, so he stretched out a finger to test the front of the woman's nose, and then cried out in pain, "Mom!"

The servant girl was so frightened that her hands and feet were limp, and she wanted to run out while holding on to the table and chair.In the entire sect, from top to bottom, everyone knows everyone. The young master is the most filial to his mother, and he has argued with the leader countless times for his mother.Now that his mother has passed away, he still doesn't know how to go crazy.She was just looking for death by staying in front of her!

The little maid planned well and she was smart, but unfortunately, she was kicked to the ground by a strong force before she reached the door, and a big foot stepped on her face mercilessly, "said , Has he visited my mother? Tell me!"

The little servant girl was so frightened that she didn't know who the killing god was asking, so she could only cry while begging for mercy, "Young master, please forgive me, I really don't know, I don't know who came here?"

The white-clothed boy's eyes were blood red, and he turned his head to look at the dying mother. Her eyes were clearly looking at the door, and it was self-evident what she was looking forward to before she died.

"Get lost, go and tell that person, if he doesn't arrive within a quarter of an hour, I'll kill him and bury him with my mother!"

The little maid was frightened half to death, and as soon as the feet on her face moved away, she ran out scrambling and crawling out. After she got out of the courtyard, she finally took a breath, and her brain resumed, and she finally understood what the young master was talking about. It was the leader, so he quickly climbed up the mountain with hands and feet again, and ran to report.

The boy in white hugged his mother who had become cold, tears flowed into rivers, and he murmured unconsciously, "Mother, my son is back, and my son has brought back the seal. The man said, as long as I get back the seal, he will I just came to see you. Mom, wait, wait, he'll be here soon!"

It's a pity that he hugged his mother and said it countless times, but that person never showed up.The winter sun was extremely dim, and it shone in from outside the door. The shadows of the tables and chairs began to move to the east a little bit, and the whole small courtyard seemed to be an abandoned child.

The boy in white finally stood up from the head of the bed. The numbness of his knees made him stagger when he walked, but he seemed unconscious.

"Mother, that man broke his promise again, and you must be used to it. But my son is the one who hates breaking his promise the most. He promised, but he didn't keep it. Wait a minute, my son will go to the mountain now. Be sure to send him on the road with you!"

As he spoke, he pressed his belt very calmly, and the software coiled around his waist popped out, and the snow-white sword blade shone with dazzling light.

Earlier, the little maid was standing outside the courtyard, circling around, and really didn't know how to get in to report.The leader is summoning the guardians to discuss important matters. She can't even get in the door. She finally asked the guards to go in and report, but the reply she got was, "A generous burial!"

Don't ask the leader to come out, there is no extra word.She really didn't know how to deal with the young master, so she had to dawdle like this.

Just when she was wondering if she should hide somewhere to avoid the limelight, the boy in white came out with a long sword in his hand.The little servant girl was so frightened that she fell to the ground and hurriedly kowtowed to explain, "Young master, this servant has gone up the mountain, really up the mountain. The leader has an important matter in business, and ordered to bury the wife generously..."

The white-clothed boy's face became even colder when he heard the words, but what he asked was another matter, "Is my mother used to serving you on weekdays, and does she still like you?"

The little servant girl didn't know why, but still nodded her head and replied cautiously, "Madam often praises slaves for their dedication."

"That's good." The young man nodded and smiled coldly. The little girl raised her head and wanted to say something more, but the next moment, a coolness flashed across her neck, and the sharp blade had already scratched her throat.

"You continue to serve my mother under the Nine Springs." The boy in white said lightly, and finally ignored the slumped corpse of the little maid, and continued to walk up the mountain with his sword in hand.
