Jingzhou City.

"Shan'er." Mother Zheng shouted, "Come here quickly, your brother has another letter!"

In the yard, little sister Zheng Fa Zheng Shan ran outside.

"Miss." Huang Yu stood at the door, looking at her with a smile, "Have you finished the homework assigned by the young master?"

"..."

Zheng Shan looked at the sky outside the door with reluctant eyes, as if bidding farewell to his own happiness, and walked slowly into the courtyard with his head lowered.

Zheng Fa has been away from Jingzhou City for almost two years, and Zheng Shan is almost eight years old. Now he is a head taller than before, but his face is round and round. It is obvious that the food is good and he is not a loser.

"Why are you running? You can reply to your brother later and send the homework you left in the last letter along with it."

"..."

Zheng Shan curled his lips and looked at the thick envelope in his mother's hand with despair in his eyes.

When her brother left, she was very reluctant to let him go... and cried for half a month.

I guess my brother also missed them, so he wrote a letter less than a month after leaving home. The letter was first given to Mrs. Zhao, who then gave it to her mother.

She was also happy when she received the letter from Zheng Fa...

But she was not happy for long.

In the letter, her brother assigned a special test paper for her and told her to attach the answers to him when she replies next time.

She cried for another half month...

From then on, she lived what her brother called a correspondence career.

I never looked forward to a letter from my brother again.

"The letter this time is very thin."

Probably knowing her resistance, Mother Zheng said with a smile, "My wife said that she also received your brother's letter. Come and read it to me."

Zheng Shan took the letter from his mother, opened it, and read it silently, then suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Mom, brother said he wants to take us to the Nine Mountains Sect!"

"Ah?" Mother Zheng was delighted and quickly asked, "What did your brother say? Pick us up?"

Zheng Shan nodded and said, "Say, someone from the Nine Mountains Sect will come to pick you up soon."

"Make no mistake, read it from beginning to end!"

Mother Zheng said with some excitement.

Zheng Shan repeated his belief, and then Mother Zheng completely believed it, and the joy on his face could not be concealed.

Mother Zheng counted on his fingers and suddenly said, "Your brother has been gone for five hundred and fifty-three days..."

Zheng Shan was stunned. He didn't expect his mother to remember it so clearly.

"I can finally see your brother. I don't know if he has lost weight or not. How is he doing at the Nine Mountains Sect..."

Listening to his mother's muttering, Zheng Shan's face changed, he put the letter down and ran towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to school!" Zheng Shan ran very fast without looking back. "When my brother sees me, he will definitely take my test!"

"..."

Zhao Family is not short of money, the school is not small and there are many students.

Zheng Shan Because she is a girl and she is still young, she only needs to come to class early in the morning.

For older students, there are also classes in the afternoon.

She ran to the school at this time and attracted quite a lot of attention - Zhao Residence Academy Men and women learn different things and are bound by etiquette, so they are usually taught separately.

So all the classmates of Zheng Shan are women.

When they saw Zheng Shan coming, a few older girls looked at her with a bit of repulsion.

Zheng Shan didn't care about their looks, but took out his arithmetic book, circled the questions he had wrongly calculated, and then walked to the arithmetic teacher's study.

As she passed the girls, she heard a soft hum.

Zheng Shan has long been used to it--

As soon as she came to the school, she felt that these girls were a little bit ostracizing him.

At first, she didn't quite understand, but later her family member Guan Family Huang Yu found out that these people were the concubines of the Zhao Family head, and she had a hard time getting along with Seventh Young Master in the past.

And since his brother was friendly with Seventh Young Master, he was naturally hostile to them.

At first Zheng Shan was a little worried about being bullied.

Later I discovered that this group of people dared to say weird things, especially after Madam Zhao invited his mother to Zhao Residence for tea every month, they didn't even dare to say anything anymore and could only hum...

In order to complete my brother's homework, I read and study every day.

They also secretly scolded me for trying so hard to please the husband and showing off to others.

She felt very wronged...

Whenever she dares not to pay attention to her homework, not to mention her mother, Mrs. Zhao Residence will ask her husband for a few questions...

Who can bear this?

To be honest, if she wasn't busy on weekdays, she might still care about these people.

But she really has no time...

After coming out of Mr.'s room, Zheng Shan saw that there were many more people in the academy--

All the students and teachers in the academy came out.

They gathered together, lowered their heads, respectfully, and remained silent.

Zheng Shan was stunned for a moment, looked forward, and was even more surprised:

All the masters of Zhao Residence are here.

Madam Zhao is in the front, accompanied by a pale man - this is probably the head of the Zhao Family?

Zheng Shan Never seen him go out.

Behind them is the owner of the second and third bedrooms, whom Zheng Shan has also seen occasionally.

Standing in front of Madam Zhao is a middle-aged man with a majestic face.

I also know this person Zheng Shan. The county guard in charge of the area with a radius of thousands of miles around Jingzhou City seems to be a disciple of the Immortal Sect.

Jingzhou City The biggest boss!

Could it be that the Sheriff came to the Zhao Family, so all the masters of the Zhao Family were here to welcome him?

This is possible...

But Zheng Shan quickly rejected this answer.

The county guard also lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look ahead, and he actually looked extremely humble.

In front of her, stood a woman with a serious face, as if she couldn't smile.

The woman's face is actually very beautiful, but the expression on her face and the look in her eyes make people dare not comment on her beauty.

"True Person is here, disciple... I have prepared some simple meals..."

Zheng Shan Hearing what the county guard said, his tone was full of flattery and enthusiasm.

"No, I am from the Nine Mountains Sect, you are from the Hundred Immortals Alliance..."

The governor's face froze, but he did not dare to say anything else.

It's just that others heard that this woman was not easy to please and seemed to have a very high status, so they didn't dare to raise their heads.

The county guard made a few more suggestions.

They are all flattering words.

But not only did the woman not accept this trick at all, but after a while, she also showed a look of impatience on her face, which made the county guard afraid to say anything.

The rest of the people held their breaths and even breathed very quietly.

Zheng Shan is already smart, but you can't tell that this woman is a person of high status, and she doesn't look very kind.

After my brother left, my mother repeatedly reminded me not to cause trouble outside.

At this point, I don't want to move forward.

She hugged the book, lowered her head, and quietly walked around the crowd, trying to leave unobtrusively.

But before taking two steps, Zheng Shan felt eyes falling on her. She stiffened and looked up, only to find that the big man was staring at her, his eyes full of thoughts.

The girls who were not dealing with him looked at her sideways, with a gloating smile on their lips, as if they thought she was in trouble.

"Your surname is Zheng?"

The woman suddenly spoke.

"Yes..."

Zheng Shan was stunned for a moment, guessing something in his mind, then he came back to his senses and answered.

The woman who had not shown a smile just now, no matter how much the governor tried to please her, suddenly laughed gently.

Everyone listened as she said softly, "My surname is Huang. Your brother's uncle is here to pick you up."

There was silence in the courtyard of the study, and everyone's eyes fell on Zheng Shan. The look on his face was complicated, and the young Zheng Shan couldn't understand it.

The county guard looked Zheng Shan up and down, his expression seemed a little afraid of himself?

Aunt-Master Huang walked up to Zheng Shan, looked at the book in her hand, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said as if he had thought of something, "Your brother is a man who doesn't know the sinister nature of people's hearts. He left you and your mother here... What kind of injustice have you suffered in the past two years? I will make the decision for you!"

Speaking of this, her tone was a little cold.

The county guard, with the Zhao Family up and down, looked pale.

Zheng Shan looked towards the girls and saw that they all had their heads lowered and were hiding behind others.

"No matter who makes me wronged, can True Person help me?"

Zheng Shan thought for a long time and then said.

The head of the Zhao Family in the crowd trembled all over and seemed to be unsteady on his feet.

Aunt-Master Huang looked at them and nodded with a cold face.

"My brother!"

"Huh?"

"Immortal, you are my brother's uncle, can you ask my brother not to take the test for me again..." Zheng Shan held up the arithmetic textbook in his hand and said with a sad face, "I can't finish studying..."

"..."

"Except your brother..."

Aunt-Master Huang was silent for a while, then remembered the news from the Nine Mountains Sect, and said, "This Nine Mountains Sect is almost ruined by your brother..."

"I can't help it..."

"..."

Aunt-Master Huang held the hand of Zheng Shan and led the large army to join the disciples led by Uncle-Master Pang.

Uncle-Master Pang has received thousands of disciples.

She also brought tens of thousands of people who were related to the Nine Mountains Sect.

"Junior Sister Huang!"

Uncle-Master Pang glanced at her and cast his gaze on Zheng Shan's face, his eyes a little excited.

"What did you call me?"

Aunt-Master Huang raised the corners of his mouth, half-smiling but not smiling.

"... Senior Sister Huang! This is..."

"Zheng Fa's sister."

Aunt-Master Huang pointed at Uncle-Master Pang and said to Zheng Shan, "This is also your brother's uncle. Well, he is a slippery man, but he is good to his disciples."

It seems that because of that senior sister voice, Aunt-Master Huang rarely praised Uncle-Master Pang a few times.

Uncle-Master Pang looked a little grateful and looked at the confused Zheng Shan.

He dug around in his arms and took out a crystal clear orb, and handed it to Zheng Shan with a smile.

Zheng Shan looked up at the smiling Uncle-Master Pang, feeling at a loss.

"The meeting gift is not valuable." Uncle-Master Pang said with a smile, "Just take it and play with it."

The Nine Mountains Sect disciple behind him twitched his lips.

Looking at the orb with extremely eager eyes--

This thing is a Law Artifact!

He is also a treasure that can stabilize the mind and help people practice.

Among Marketplace, there is one that cannot be obtained with three hundred Spirit Stone!

Zheng Shan looked at Aunt-Master Huang, and Aunt-Master Huang nodded towards her.

She just took the orb and thanked Uncle-Master Pang obediently.

"Although this kid doesn't have Dao Body, he has Single Wood Spirit Root and has pretty good qualifications."

Looking at Zheng Shan playing with the orb, Aunt-Master Huang said in a voice message.

"And I asked her on the way, Zheng Fa has been teaching her for the past two years, and she has an excellent foundation..."

Uncle-Master Pang As he listened, the corners of his mouth were raised high, as if he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"If it weren't for Wuyi, this kid wouldn't be able to take advantage of you..."

"Senior sister!" Uncle-Master Pang said, "From now on, among our Nine Mountains Sect three Nascent Soul, you will be the senior sister!"

"What about Sect Leader?"

"How can the person who steals apprentices compare with you who sends and accepts apprentices? Bah!"

"..."
