Chapter 8 Spring Equinox(1/2)

Zhou Tian was very surprised, how could there be human voices in this vast white space without any human beings.

"Haha, I didn't expect that after a hundred years, someone would still come here. What's your name?"

His voice was hoarse and high-pitched, and he sounded like a middle-aged man.

Zhou Tian did not respond immediately. He walked in the white space and looked around, but found nothing. Even his own footsteps echoed around him.

"Who are you? Why am I here? Where is this?"

Zhou Tian asked three questions in one breath, and for a moment, the unfamiliar voice suddenly disappeared.

Because the white light was too dazzling, Zhou Tian kept blinking.

Just when he blinked inadvertently, a black shadow suddenly passed through his body.

Zhou Tian was shocked, but Zhou Tian, ​​who was naturally very courageous, did not show too much panic, but a few drops of cold sweat flowed from his temples.

"what's your name?"

The sound appeared again, and this time Zhou Tian used his ears to judge that the source of the sound was to his left front, but when he looked around, there was nothing.

"what's your name?"

This was the third time I asked, and Zhou Tian replied impatiently: "My name is Zhou Tian, ​​Zhou Tian!"

After answering, he returned to the lifeless scene just now.

"Young man, you are not ready yet! Zhou Tian? I will remember you. I hope you will be different next time you come."

After saying that, before Zhou Tian had time to react, a palm suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he hit his chest very hard.

There was a burst of pain, Zhou Tian yelled, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was still in bed.

"What's wrong? Master!"

Lao Xu pushed open the door and looked nervously at Zhou Tian and the situation around him.

"Ah, it's okay."

Zhou Tian looked outside the door and saw that it was already the next day and it was really a dream.

His legs were numb, so he lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling.

"You go out first, I'm fine."

Lao Xu gently closed the door to the room and walked away quietly.

Zhou Tian was wondering where the white space was just now? Why did it suddenly appear there? Since it was a dream, why was that palm so real.

After thinking about it, he opened his clothes and saw no scars on his chest. Feeling more and more strange, he got up and squeezed his numb legs with both hands, and hurriedly walked out of the room to ask his father.

"Master! No more rest?"

Lao Xu asked enthusiastically.

But Zhou Tian was anxious and didn't want to waste any time talking to the housekeeper.

"Is my father awake?"

"Oh, the master went out as soon as he woke up."

Hearing that his father was not here, Zhou Tian felt a little disappointed. Thinking of the conversation between him and his father yesterday, he walked to the center of the yard without hesitation and started practicing boxing.

Looking at the blue sky and fresh air, Zhou Tian felt somewhat relieved.

This winter has just passed, everything is recovering, and it is the rainy season. There is a spring rain and a warm one. As I think about it, a drizzle begins to fall in the sky.

"Haha, whatever comes to mind, it seems that I, Zhou Tian, ​​really have a bright future..."

Although Lao Xu, who was standing behind Zhou Tian, ​​didn't know what he was muttering, he could tell from his back that Zhou Tian seemed very happy. His head was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, and an inexplicable smile filled the corners of his mouth.

"Look at Butler Xu's smile, he looks like a loving father."

"Yes, this old Xu probably regards the young master as his own son, haha."

The servants joked with each other. When Lao Xu found out, he shooed them away like flies and then went to the kitchen.

Everything in the Zhou Mansion went according to plan and there were no disturbances. However, in the Ye Mansion, since yesterday it was known that Youyou was looking for Zhou Tianhou again, her parents were so angry that they almost lost their temper.

Ye Youyou, on the other hand, remained silent in the room and kept curling up on the edge of the bed, dazed. She remembered the scene where she put her feet on Zhou Tian's knees yesterday and couldn't help but giggle.

"Master! Madam!"

At this time, Wanwan was punished to kneel outside the quiet room.

Ye Wen pushed open the door of the room angrily and looked at Ye Youyou's furious roar: "What am I talking about? You are not allowed to associate with that trash Zhou Tian anymore. Since you are disobedient, I have to let dad handle it!

"

After hearing this, Ye Youyou hurriedly turned her head to her father, with a sudden look of fear in her eyes!

"Dad! What are you going to do?"

Her mother didn't wait for Ye Wensheng to speak, and said impatiently: "Xuantian Sect is the first-class sect in Beimo Continent, and our Ye family will never allow you to ruin the family tradition."

"Your father and I have already thought about it. Elder Wang of the Xuantian Sect has a son who should be about the same age as you. After the Spring Equinox martial arts competition, you two will get married. After that, you will go to Luoyang Town. Don't make us angry here.

!”

Her mother's words gave Ye Youyou a blow to the head, and she shouted hysterically: "Mom! I will not marry. You told me that as long as brother Zhou Tian can win the martial arts competition, you will let me and

He dated."

When Ye Wensheng heard what she said, he pointed at Youyou angrily and cursed: "You ignorant girl, okay! If that Zhou Tian can win, your mother and I will agree to all your requests, but if he loses, you will never be able to survive in this life."

Don’t even think about seeing him again!”

"good!"

Ye Youyou agreed without hesitation, because she believed that Zhou Tian could do it, and she even believed that he would do it even for herself.

She looked at her parents with firm and sad eyes, and the corners of her mouth kept trembling, but no matter how different she was, she was still their child. Her mother couldn't bear to see her degraded like this, so she dragged her father out of the room.

After Ye Wensheng and the others left, Ye Youyou's eyes were in a daze, and the tears in her eyes kept flowing down, and she murmured to herself: "Brother Zhou Tian, ​​I will definitely help you win this competition.

....”

Time flies.

After these few days of practice, Zhou Tian's boxing skills have improved again. Although there is still no Qi Sea, due to the blessing of the Soul-Eating Blood Bead, there is still some Qi Sea fluctuations in his body.

This day is the vernal equinox, which is also known as the "noon" and "mid-spring moon". At this time, everything revives, the willows on the shore are green, the grass grows and orioles fly.

The gossamer hair outside the door is flying among the trees, and the willow color is like smoke, which is the most heartbreaking.

"father!"

Zhou Tian was a little too excited. When he saw his father, he didn't know where he got excited.

"Today is the Spring Equinox. I heard from neighbors outside that many people from Xuantian Sect have gone to the competition venue, but I still don't know where the competition venue is?"

"Dad! Do you know?"

Zhou Liting looked at Lao Xu.

"Just follow Lao Xu later. You don't even know the venue for the Spring Equinox competition. I really don't understand what you have been doing all these years?"

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the nave with his hands behind his back.

"It's okay, Master, I'll go with you!"

"Dad! Don't you go and have a look?"

Zhou Tian really wanted his father to see how he brought honor to the Zhou family, and he would be filled with joy and confidence.

"It's just a Xuantian Sect's martial arts competition, what's there to see?"

Zhou Liting's sarcastic answer made Zhou Tian somewhat disappointed, his eyes drooped, as if he suddenly lost a lot of motivation.

"Master! The competition is about to begin, let's go quickly!"

Zhou Tian looked at his father, who was drinking tea in the central hall, with his head lowered as if his mood had reached rock bottom. He turned around and walked towards the courtyard door with Lao Xu.

On the other hand, Zhou Liting's gaze shifted, his eyes trembled for a moment, he put down the tea cup and took a deep breath: "Tian'er, this is your first experience..."

After Zhou Tian and Lao Xu went out, they saw that the crowds of people coming and going in the market suddenly became larger. The spring breeze coming from the Buddha's face gently slapped his face, which was so pleasant.

He seemed to have forgotten his low mood just now, but the good times were so short. The little fat man from a year ago appeared in front of him again.

"Hey, isn't this the little good-for-nothing? Why? Are you going to participate in the competition as well? Be careful to die on the spot. Didn't your father come with you? I think he was afraid that he would lose face in order to collect your body! Haha."

This little fat man is the son of Xuanyuan Qing. He has been bullying his peers who are not as good as him for many years, which is very annoying.

Zhou Tian wanted to punch him, but Lao Xu quickly stopped him.

"Haha, Zhou Tian? Okay! Where's your dad? It doesn't matter. This competition is a competition between your peers. It doesn't matter whether your dad goes or not. I hope he won't lose too badly."

Xuanyuan Qing turned out to be following this fat man.

Zhou Tian saw that other children were accompanied by their parents, but as long as he went alone, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Young Master! There is no need to make a fuss. As the saying goes, the louder the scream, the more painful the fall. The Xuanyuan family is the worst among many families. It is only good at talking and nothing else is good."

"Haha, I just like what you say, Lao Xu. Let's go. Where is the competition ground?"
