Chapter 66 (1/2)
After the sunset, the sky darkened and night fell. The sky was blue and blue with countless small stars.
Du Shaofu had just taken a bath after returning to the courtyard. He saw the head of the backyard and said that the master and the second master had asked him to come.
”Uncle, second uncle, are you looking for me?”
When Du Shaofu arrived at his uncle's study, his uncle Du Zhenwu and his second uncle, Du Zhixiong, were sitting in the study. They were talking about something in a low voice, and their looks were slightly coagulated.
Seeing Du Shaofu coming, Du Zhixiong motioned to Du Shaofu to sit down and talk. Then he asked, ”Shaofu, you've been living in seclusion for a long time. You often don't see people. Are you busy practicing? Your body seems to be getting stronger and stronger.”
Du Shaofu sat on the seat beside Du Zhixiong's body, nodded slightly and said, ”there's nothing to do anyway, so I'll practice in the back mountain. I don't know what my uncle and uncle asked me to do?”
”Don't you forget that three days will be the time for the younger generation of the five families to compete.” A smile appeared on Du Zhenwu's face. Looking at Du Shaofu, he asked softly, ”how are you preparing?”
”Three days later.”
Du Shaofu really forgot. In the practice of forgetting to eat and sleep recently, the competition among the younger generations of the five families in Shicheng was forgotten. Thinking of the Lei Chi of the Ye family, Du Shaofu said with a smile, ”I've been preparing for it all the time.”
Du Zhenwu looked at Du Shaofu's eyes. He could not see any tension in his sharp and deep eyes, but was full of expectation. This made him wonder a little. Is this boy really sure.
His eyebrows moved. Du Zhenwu said: ”the tiger in the white family is bright in the daytime. Qin family and Qin Xiaolu are not your opponents. I know your cultivation is not weak, but this time there are some small changes. You should pay attention to it.”
Hearing this, Du Shaofu immediately asked, ”is there any special situation?”
Du Zhixiong said: ”there are some special situations. This time, you are the only one to participate in the competition. You represent the Du family.”
”Why am I alone?”
Du Shaofu's face was puzzled. In the past years, Du Shaofu had heard of the competition among the younger generations of the five major families. The number of participants of each major family was limited to 15, but not enough.
Each time, the young generation of each big family is full of 15 people, absolutely not less. Even if there is no hope of winning the championship, it can be regarded as a training, which will be of great benefit to the future cultivation.
Du Zhenwu had no choice but to smile bitterly at Du Shaofu and said: ”you're OK to say that Du Yan, Du Chong and Du Hao were all injured by you. Up to now, they have only recovered by 50% to 60%, and they can't go up at all.
Du Yu and Du Xue have good potential, but if they take part in this time, they will not be able to take part in the next contest among the five young families. As you know, everyone can only participate once. Du Yu and Du Xue are the hope of the Du family to win the championship next time. It's a loss to let them participate this time.
