Chapter 133 Trial
Chapter 133 Trial
Jimo Yan was feeding peacocks in the garden. Hearing the noise outside the yard, she quickly put down the food box in her hand and ran out.
The birds in the yard rushed into the food box, fighting for the food. Seeing this, Rong Ma stepped forward to drive the animals away, picked up the food box, and hurriedly said to Jimo Yan, "Miss Yan, where are you going?"
Jimo Yan didn't even turn her head and said firmly: "I heard Long Yue coming."
"As if?" asked Rong's mother.
Jimo Yan shook her head: "It's not like it's coming, it's definitely coming."
Rong Ma didn't see anyone outside the courtyard, nor did she hear any sound. She shook her head. Miss Yan's hearing was very sharp. Sometimes she could hear sounds from far away, and sometimes she couldn't hear the voice of the person who was talking to her. But she only listened to the voices she wanted to hear, and her mood became much better.
Jimo Yan stood at the plaque at the gate, wearing a red dress that fluttered in the wind, beautiful and charming. She was originally a cultivator, with good talent, so it was normal for her to be very beautiful.
Rong's mother was cleaning up the debris in the yard. She hadn't seen Jimo Yan bring anyone in for a long time, so she walked over with curiosity on her face and saw Jimo Yan still standing there, looking towards the path with anticipation. She looked like someone who was looking forward to the return of a loved one.
"Ms. Yan, did you hear it wrong? Miss Long Yue didn't come." Rong's mother spoke directly and walked forward to pull her into the yard.
Jimo Yan shook her head: "I heard Long Yue's voice, it must be correct, she came over talking and laughing with another person."
I don’t know who was talking and laughing, but Jimo Yanzhou followed Zhou Yun all the time and asked Zhou Yun curiously: "Xiao Yuner, how did you know the aunt in my family?"
Zhou Yun raised her eyes and glanced at him, then slowly said, "I accidentally ran into some trouble, and Jimo Yan helped me." Thinking of the day when she accidentally found out about the man and woman having an affair behind the rockery, she was almost discovered at that time. If Jimo Yan hadn't pulled her away in time, she would have had to face the two adulterers.
"You've run into trouble? When did you run into trouble? Why didn't you tell me?" Jimo Yanzhou was surprised, then gritted his teeth and said, "I did run into trouble with you."
"I accidentally found out someone else's secret, but it doesn't matter, they didn't see me." Zhou Yun didn't care. Suddenly she stopped and saw a red figure outside Yanran's courtyard, and was stunned.
Jimo Yanzhou also saw the red figure, who looked like a young woman. He was puzzled. His system told him that this was his aunt, Jimo Yan.
Rong's mother was about to drag Jimo Yan back to the courtyard, but Jimo Yan suddenly said, "Long Yue, you're here."
Zhou Yun waved at Jimo Yan, who came running over. When she saw Jimo Yanzhou, she was stunned for a moment and said, "Long Yue, which branch of the Jimo family are you bringing with you?"
"Jimo Yanzhou." Zhou Yun pointed at Jimo Yanzhou and spoke to Jimo Yan.
Jimo Yan thought thoughtfully: "Xiaoyu's son?"
"Xiaoyu?" Which Xiaoyu? Jimo Yanzhou looked confused.
Zhou Yun said: "Yes."
Jimo Yan stepped forward and took Zhou Yun's hand, "Long Yue, I'll take you to see the garden I just planted. I also raise a few golden pheasants."
Jimo Yan and Zhou Yun had already entered the yard, and Jimo Yanzhou followed them in hurriedly. However, when he saw the yard full of flowers and gardens and animals, he was stunned. Is this a zoo in his own home?
The system laughed and said: Don’t meddle in the affairs of beautiful women.
When Rong's mother saw Zhou Yun coming, she smiled and quickly ran to serve tea.
Jimo Yan held Zhou Yun's hand and talked for a long time, and suddenly said: "Long Yue, this is the key to the family library." Then, she took Zhou Yun's hand and carefully put her hand in Zhou Yun's hand.
Zhou Yun felt a spiritual power flowing in her palm. When she raised her hand to look, there was nothing there, but a tiny black mole appeared in the palm of her hand. It was so small that it could not be seen unless you looked carefully.
"Where is the Jimo family's library?" Zhou Yun asked.
Jimo Yan told Zhou Yun mysteriously, "The entrance is in my bedroom. As long as you have the key, you can enter."
Jimo Yanzhou and the other person were chatting, and he couldn't get a word in at all, so he could only take out the secret book that Jimo Yan had used as a table mat and deliberately placed it in front of Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun raised his eyes, his gaze was shallow, he reached out to take the secret book he handed over, and said to Jimo Yan: "Miss Yan, can you understand these two secret books?"
Jimo Yan stared at the book in Zhou Yun's hand, nodded, and shook her head, but she did not realize that it was the thing she had used to pad the table.
"This is the simplest method of taming beasts. I took it out from the library before. These two books are placed on the top shelf of the library." Jimo Yan was thinking of finding a suitable thing to put as a cushion on the table, so she picked up the ancient books on the top shelf.
Zhou Yun said: "Now if I ask you to help me understand this technique, I wonder if you are willing."
Seeing Zhou Yun’s displeasure, Jimo Yan quickly said, “Okay.” Besides, it’s very simple.
Jimo Yanzhou had never expected that his aunt taught him the family's high-level skills. After only half understanding it, he stayed in Qingfeng Courtyard for three days. He did not go out until the time for the trial came and the head of the family sent someone to inform him.
On the day of the trial, the sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds.
The Great Elder stood at the entrance of the trial and recited a long list of rules, then handed a jade talisman to each person entering the trial venue: "The selection of the family's successor has always been absolutely fair. Young masters, please judge based on your abilities."
Jimo Yu walked up to Jimo Yanzhou and said, "Sixth Brother, you are my favorite candidate for successor. I believe you can pass the test."
Jimo Yanzhou was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Thank you for your good words." Lao Deng said this to me in front of the other brothers. Is he afraid that my brothers will kill me?
Then Jimo Yanzhou heard what his old man Lao Deng said to Jimo Chengye.
"Cheng Ye, you are my favorite candidate for successor. I have the most confidence in your abilities."
Jimo Chengye looked normal, and just comforted Jimo Yu: "Don't worry, father, I will not let my family down."
Jimo Yu nodded with satisfaction, and said to Jimo Yunze: "Yunze, I am the most preferred candidate for successor in my heart. I believe you will not let me down."
Jimo Yunze's mouth twitched and he nodded, "Thank you for your trust, Patriarch."
"Chang'an, you are the most promising heir of this generation in the family. I believe in your ability." Jimo Yu coughed and patted Jimo Chang'an's shoulder gently.
Jimo Changan: "Thank you, Patriarch..."
"Changliu, you..."
Jimo Changliu interrupted Jimo Yu and said, "Master, if I become the heir, I will not be in charge of the family business anymore. You can leave it to Chang'an."
Jimo Yu was stunned, looked at Jimo Chang'an, and then looked at Jimo Changliu, "Changliu, don't rush into danger, your health is the most important, and... "
The Great Elder suddenly interrupted Ji Moyu and said, "Master, the time has come and the teleportation formation needs to be shut down."
Jimo Yu took back what he was about to say with a lingering feeling.
The great elder said, "Each person can bring a few monks from the family to assist, but the monks must be willing and cannot be forced to follow. After entering, each of you will form a team. After entering, you will pass the test from the other elders and get the bamboo slips from the elders. You are only allowed to move around the outer area of Qingyun Mountain where the family is located. You are not allowed to enter the deep Black Water Mountains. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."
Except for Zhou Yun, who was alone with Jimo Yanzhou, the other members of the Jimo family were accompanied by a dozen subordinates.
Jimo Yanzhou stood there somewhat awkwardly, but he saw other brothers coming with a bunch of helpers, and Jimo Chengye even looked at him with disdain.
"Let's go." Zhou Yun reminded Jimo Yanzhou who was still in a daze.
"Yun'er, why don't I ask my husband Deng for some helpers." Jimo Yanzhou said. He said this was fair, but it was not fair at all.
"No need." Zhou Yun had studied the strategy that Jimo Yu had given them before, so it wasn't completely useless. As for the difficulty of each level, there were marks on it.
Once you enter the teleportation array, you will arrive directly at Qingyun Mountain.
Jimo Yunze saw that Jimo Yanzhou only brought a little girl with him, and chuckled: "Sixth Young Master, don't you bring helpers? Is it because you are very strong and don't need them?"
Jimo Changan joked, "It's not that he is not needed, it's that no one is willing to follow him."
Jimo Changliu suddenly walked up to Zhou Yun and said, "Do you want to come with me? I have more people with me."
Zhou Yun glanced at him and saw that his smile was just like Jimo Yunze's, with ill intentions. He waved his hand and said, "No need. If you think there are too many people, there might not be anyone left later."
"What do you mean?" Jimo Chang'an glared at Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun pointed to a wooden sign next to him and said to Jimo Yanzhou, "There are two roads here. Which one do you want to take?"
Jimo Yanzhou said casually: "The left side."
Jimo Changan laughed loudly: "Jimo Yanzhou, you are a fool, right? There is a hint on the right side: just answer the questions raised by Elder Xianyu. But there is no hint on the left side."
Jimo Chengye had a cold face. He brought eleven people, including himself, making twelve people. The strategy given to him by the patriarch indicated that Xianyu had a strange personality and also had a pet demon. So Jimo Chengye naturally walked towards the road on the right.
The others also followed Jimo Chengye.
Jimo Changliu walked to the right intersection and suddenly turned back, heading towards the left road.
Jimo Yanzhou frowned: "Why are you following us?"
"Who said I followed you? There are clearly two choices here, and I made the same choice as you. Is that not okay?" Jimo Changliu said. He actually didn't know why he followed. Maybe he felt that Jimo Yanzhou only brought Zhou Yun with him, and they were weak and alone, and he couldn't bear to see them alone.
Zhou Yun gave Jimo Chang a warm smile: "Fifth Young Master, how strong are the three people around you?"
Jimo Changliu looked very proud and said, "They are all masters of the tenth level of the Soaring Cloud Realm."
"What about the people that the young master brought with him?" Zhou Yun asked him.
"It's about the same, but there is a person at the initial stage of Huiyang Realm in Big Brother's team." Jimo Changliu thought, anyway, I am just a sparring partner, and the position of young master will not be his turn.
"What's the level of the demon pet that Elder Xianyu raises?" Zhou Yun had already walked under a big tree.
"You are talking about the demon lizard that Elder Xianyu raised. It has about the strength of the tenth level of Huiyang Realm." Jimo Changliu saw Zhou Yun standing under the tree and not moving, and was immediately confused.
"What's the matter? Why don't you leave?" Jimo Changliu said, feeling anxious. What if Big Brother surpasses us?
"The game of chess is all about building Qi. The right side is Tianyuan, and the left side is Xingwei. Generally, you should grab Xingwei first to make it easier to attack and build eyes. Placing Tianyuan will make it easier for Qi to be tightened." Zhou Yun took out the strategy given by Jimo Yu.
When Jimo Changliu saw the strategy guide, his eyes widened. He also took out a strategy guide from his pocket and said, "I have one too."
"Where are you from?" Jimo Yanzhou suddenly leaned over to look at Jimo Changliu's strategy.
"Where did you get your copy from?" Jimo Changliu looked at Jimo Yanzhou steadily, a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said, "You just came home, you didn't steal it, did you? You actually stole the trial strategy?"
Jimo Yanzhou slapped away the finger he was pointing at him, "Then where did you get that from? I just got home, I don't even know how many courtyards there are in my house, where can I steal the trial strategy? I think you are the one with the best opportunity to commit the crime, you have stayed in the mansion longer than me, you don't know everything about the family, how many people are there in the mansion, how much is the daily expenditure, the construction of the courtyard, aren't you doing all these things?"
"I..." Jimo Changliu choked, thought for a moment, and said, "Don't change the subject here. What I want to ask now is, why do you have this?"
"Jimo Yu gave it to me." Zhou Yun raised his eyes, glanced at the two of them, and interjected lightly.
"What do you mean Jimo Yu gave it... ah? The master of the family gave it?" Jimo Changliu was shocked. "Why is the master of the family so partial? Didn't they say that the succession trial is absolutely fair?"
"Yours was not also given to you by that old Deng, was it?" Jimo Yanzhou rolled his eyes at him.
Jimo Changliu was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"
Jimo Yanzhou thought, I just said it casually, but it turned out to be true. His eyes suddenly lit up: "Even if you have a copy, does it mean that others have it too?"
Jimo Changliu's brain was also very quick. He clapped his hands and said, "Of course, other people must have it too. No wonder. Last time I saw Changan, he seemed to be hiding something."
But after thinking about it, Jimo Changliu said again: "But this is not right. Since they also have a strategy, why are our paths different?"
