Chapter 8 Dinner in the main hall

In Hejia Village, every two nights at the beginning of the month and the middle of the month, the old owner He Wude would show up in the main hall for dinner. And every two nights, it was the time when the family in the village had a meal together.

Except for He Quanming who was in charge of the shop in the city and was unable to return, all the other direct children will attend, and this is also the only time when He Quanxin left the courtyard of the library.

When He Yiming followed his uncle to the main hall, everyone had already arrived.

There are two tables in the main hall, and there are only five seats above the chief.

The old man sitting in the main seat was He Wude who built Hejiazhuang with one hand. On his left, there was an empty seat, which was He Quanxin's seat. On the right, he sat third uncle He Quanyi, and on another seat, there was a young and handsome young man. He Yitian, the eldest son and grandson who had already broken through to the seventh floor of internal energy at the age of twenty.

In Hejiazhuang, He Yi is the only three generations of disciples who were allowed to sit with several elders.

The more you practice internal energy, the more difficult it is. Being able to break through to the sixth level before the age of twenty is already a very good result. Among the three generations of disciples, the second He Yihai and the third He Yixuan both broke through to the sixth level at the age of seventeen or eighteen. However, all the elders have determined that they have not had ten or twenty years of hard practice, so they basically don’t think they can go further.

The boss He Yi, who was only fourteen years old, had already broken through to the sixth floor. After the next six years of hard work, broke through to the seventh floor before the age of twenty, was regarded as the first future pillar of the family.

As for He Yiming, when he was nine years old, everyone in his family had high hopes for him, and even paid three points more attention than He Yi. However, it was because of excessive care that gave him great pressure that his internal strength cultivation stagnated. Now his status in the family is far inferior to He Yi, who is the eldest son and grandson.

In the next seat, except for He Yiming, all the three generations of children arrived. Even He Yihai and He Yixuan, who had been in seclusion and had been working hard to improve their own cultivation, attended on time.

He Wude, who was sitting in the first position, had a wide forehead and thick eyebrows. A pair of slightly deep eyes hidden with understanding wisdom. He looked up and smiled, saying, "Quanxin, you are late today."

He Quanxin quickly saluted and said with a smile on his face: "Dad, although the child is late, he has brought you good news."

A hint of surprise flashed in He Wude's eyes and asked, "What good news?"

"Dad, Yiming came to the library today." He Quanxin paused, reached out and pulled He Yiming to his side, and said, "Yiming is already qualified to practice martial arts."

The main hall suddenly became quiet. He Quanyi immediately stood up and asked in surprise: "Yiming, have you broken through to the sixth floor?"

He Yiming nodded heavily and said, "Yes."

The three generations of disciples at the next table had different expressions. Several of them looked at each other with good relationships with He Yiming, and their eyes were filled with joy. If they were not the elders here at this moment, they would definitely have had a fuss.

However, He Yizhang, who had a bad relationship with Yiming, had a slightly changed face, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

He Yihai and He Yixuan, the two third-generation disciples who had already broken through to the sixth level, exchanged glances. Their eyes were extremely complicated, and they were a bit unusually dull and envious in the strong joy.

Then, they turned around and saw Yizhang's expression, and couldn't help but sigh softly. They really couldn't understand why Lao Wu and Lao Liu were so hostile. They were really a pair of monsters in the family.

He Yi, who was in charge of the chief, also stood up. As the eldest son and grandson in the family, he did have the privileges that the other three generations of disciples did not have. Even on this occasion, he could say a few words.

"Sixth brother, you are really amazing. You are a year faster than me to advance to the sixth level."

He Yiming disturbed his scalp, giggled twice, but closed his mouth tightly. His promotion process was too strange, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

He Wude finally showed a very happy smile on his serious face and said, "Yiming, you are really good. Come and send this news to the city and let Quanming come back and be happy."

Naturally, a servant went to do the order immediately, and the direct members of the family didn't have to worry about it.

He Wude stood up from his seat, and within a few steps he had already stepped over the table and came to He Yiming. He also stretched out his palm and placed it flat in front of He Yiming.

A helpless and bitter smile flashed across He Quanxin's face. It seemed that the old man would never feel at ease if he didn't verify it personally.

He Yiming turned his palm against his grandfather without thinking, and then the sixth level of Hunyuan power was stimulated like a tide. This time, He Yiming had experience and after a full blow, he immediately restrained his internal energy, but it was this scattered blow that had already told He Wude clearly about his foundation.

The smile on the old man's face became stronger and stronger. Finally, he burst out laughing loudly and said, "Okay, great, there is another six-level expert under the age of fifteen in our He family." His cheerful laughter without any concealing his joy came from the room, and said, "Quanxin, you will accompany Yiming later and let him enter the library to select martial arts secrets, and tell him everything he should say."

"Yes." He Quanxin said with a smile.

He Yiming glanced at the elders and felt extremely suspicious.

The internal energy on the sixth level does not seem to be a great event. In his memory, when the second brother Yihai and the third brother Yixuan broke through to the sixth level, although my grandfather was happy, he was far less than what he is today... ecstasy.

That's right, not only grandpa, but also uncle and third uncle expressed it with extreme joy. This performance is obviously very different from when the second and third brothers were promoted to the sixth level.

He secretly glanced at He Yitian, but saw him blinking at him twice, but He Yiming vaguely felt that the eldest brother seemed to have a hint of jealousy while he was happy.

He was suddenly shocked. He seemed to be able to understand the meaning of the eyes of the elders and elder brother. What was going on? When did his feelings become so keen.

He Wude said loudly: "Yiming, when did you break through?"

He Yiming quickly calmed down and said solemnly: "Grandpa, grandson made a breakthrough today."

He Quanyi asked strangely: "Yiming, didn't you practice Yixuan's ripple skills last night? Why did you break through Hunyuan Jin today?"

He Yiming complained in his heart, but he had already made up his mind that he would never tell anyone about the wonderful things that happened to him.

His heart tightened, his eyes drooped, and he happened to see the wrinkles on his clothes. He immediately became wise and said quickly: "Uncle San, after morning exercise today, I went to the mountain to continue exercising. But I didn't expect to encounter a fox bear."

"Fox Bear?" He Wude and others immediately showed nervous expressions on their faces and asked, "Where is that fox bear?"

The fox bear is a beast in the mountains, and it is also the extremely difficult one. It not only has the power of a bear, but also has the cunning of a fox. If this beast is allowed to hide outside the farm, it will be a huge hidden danger for ordinary people and third-generation disciples in the farm.

He Yiming hurriedly said: "It's on the edge of the mountains and forests, but I've already beaten away."

"You beat the fox bear away." He Quanyi asked with a strange expression.

The people living at the foot of the mountain know clearly how powerful the fox bear is. Although He Yiming has just been promoted to the sixth level, he is a novice who has not mastered any martial arts secrets. Moreover, he is too young after all, and he is only thirteen years old, so he may not be the opponent of a fox bear.

He Wude pondered for a moment and said, "Yiming, tell me what happened to you today, and be more detailed."

"Yes." He Yiming quickly calmed down and told the story of fighting with the fox bear on the mountain.

Of course, he could not say that he had practiced the ripple skills to the sixth level, but that he always used Hunyuan Power. However, at the last moment, he did not hide the process of his promotion inexplicably. To be honest, he also wanted to know why his Hunyuan Power automatically advanced.

After listening to He Yiming's description, He Wude nodded slightly and said, "Your luck is very good. The fox bear may have been injured before meeting you. Fortunately, you can use the fifth level of Hunyuan Power to deal with it at the beginning." He looked at his grandson, and a hint of relief appeared on his face, saying, "Yiming, your hard practice on weekdays has not been in vain, so under the pressure of confronting the fox bear, you have stimulated all the hard practice on weekdays. Hehe, it is a blessing that you can actually cross this obstacle without realizing it and advance to the sixth level smoothly."

He Quanxin and He Quanyi nodded one after another. When they thought of the danger at that time, they couldn't help but leave a cold sweat on their vests. If Yiming had not met an injured fox bear, if he had not made a successful breakthrough at a critical moment, then I'm afraid he would die tragically under the bear's paw today.

If such a thing really happens, how do they explain it to their second child?

He Quanyi suddenly snorted and said, "Yiming, the rules in the village do not allow the third generation of children to enter the mountain alone. Why do you want to go to the forest?"

He Yiming blinked twice and thought to himself that something bad happened.

He Wude and He Quanxin also reacted, and their eyes were full of bad intentions when they looked at He Yiming.

He Yiming murmured: "Uncle San, I'm just bored, so I'm just walking up the mountain, and I'm just walking around the edge of the forest and not going deeper."

"Let's go? Do you know how dangerous it is to go up the mountain alone? You dare to encounter beasts like fox bears." He Quanyi pointed at him and said angrily: "From today on, you will stay at home for a good life. Without my permission, you will not be allowed to go out for a second."

He Yiming looked towards the direction of his grandfather and uncle. The two elders turned their faces away and did not pay any attention. This shows that they were quite nervous about He Yiming's encounter with the fox bear.

He Yiming cursed the fox bear seventeen or eighteen times in his heart, and did not stay in the deep mountains, so why did he run to the edge of the forest? Just facing Uncle San’s angry gaze, he could only say helplessly: "Yes, Uncle San."

In the following days, even He Wude took the opportunity to take action and walked around the foot of the mountain with He Quanyi for a few times, and came to the edge of the forest to check the location where He Yiming fought with the fox bear. It was not until the alarm was confirmed that the fox bear had left that the alarm was lifted.

Ps: Sweat...
