Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 431 The young talents of the Xie family fall out!

【Old Lady Xie slowly took the main seat, her old fingers gently stroking the sandalwood armrest, her brows showing majesty without anger.】

[Everyone in the clan held their breath and concentrated, and even the sound of fabric rubbing against each other could be heard clearly.]

[No one in the field dared to make a sound.]

[Two black-robed warriors have surrounded Xie Guan from the front and back.]

[Li Nantian was ready to get up and leave. What was to come was Xie Guan's torture. There was no need to watch any further.]

[Let my sister see the methods of this big family and stop. Let her know the secrets of the nine big families. Once they are revealed, she will not only bleed but also be killed. ]

[“Qinlan, let’s go. Shuwan is still waiting at home.”]

[Li Qinlan's face was gloomy. She looked at the python whip in the hands of the warriors in the Punishment Hall, which was shining with cold light, and then looked at the thin figure standing upright in the hall.]

[What to do? She is a junior and cannot have a say.]

[Li Qinlan knew that if it was a matter of life and death for the family, the eldest brother would go through fire and water. But it was absolutely unacceptable to damage the family's interests for the sake of a bastard who didn't want to work, but...]

[Xie Guan died in front of her like this, how could she not feel guilty? After all, it was she who broke off the engagement, and she also helped push the boy into the abyss.]

【When Xie Yu saw this, he felt a sense of pity for no reason. There were very few talented people in the Xie family this generation.】

[This Xie Guan is actually quite capable, otherwise he wouldn't have caused such a big scene.]

[However, he didn't know how to judge the situation and ended up like this. ]

[Mrs. Yuan slowly fiddled with the lid of the teapot, and the tea began to steam.]

[She smiled as she looked at Xie Guan, wondering what the fate of a bastard who didn't know his place was, so that others would learn a lesson.]

[Two warriors approached one after the other, their iron-like hands were about to grasp Xie Guan’s vitals——]

【Xie Ling also prepared to say goodbye to his mother and leave, and Xie Guan had no chance of improvement.】

[Outside the courtyard where the rain is pouring down, a loud shout suddenly explodes: "Stop!"]

【Xie Qiyue's tense shoulders finally relaxed and she breathed a sigh of relief.】

【Xie Yuan finally arrived. 】

[The two warriors paused and looked at Old Lady Xie who was sitting on the high seat for instructions. The old lady narrowed her old eyes and nodded slightly.]

[The two of them no longer hesitated, their blood and energy surged like a snowy mountain collapsing, their claws were sharp, one on the left and one on the right, they struck at Xie Guan's shoulder blade and vital point! ]

[But the next moment—]

[The boy slid away like a fish and escaped from the encirclement of the two men! ]

[The two were stunned. Before they could come back to their senses, they heard a deep voice: "Innate warriors are forbidden here!"]

[Before they finished speaking, their Dantians seemed to be frozen, and their true essence was instantly frozen! Fortunately, these two had been through many battles, so they were not in a hurry. Their meridians suddenly trembled, and they forcibly broke through the invisible shackles.]

【Xie Yu's pupils shrank slightly, "Words come true", this is the method used by Confucian Yuanshen cultivators! 】

【Xie Yuan strode into the main hall, followed by three people—Zhuge Jian, Zhang Shizai, and Zhang Yunzhi.】

[The Confucian scholar who just made the move was none other than Xie Yuan's uncle Zhuge Jian. This great Confucian scholar who had lived in seclusion for many years and had ignited the divine fire early on, since entering the court as an official, he has perfectly matched the Confucian concept of "cultivating oneself, governing the country and pacifying the world", and his cultivation has been further improved, breaking through to the ninth realm "Purple Star Constant Realm".]

[The "Heavenly Law" he displayed was a unique skill created by the three masters of the academy, and it was unique in the Confucian school.]

[The two warriors dared not act rashly at this moment, because another fierce and murderous aura as sharp as a knife had locked them firmly.]

[Standing beside Zhuge Jian is Zhang Shizai. Although he is dressed as a Confucian scholar, he practices the way of killing. He once served as the general of the Demon Slaughtering Division. Under his seemingly elegant appearance, he hides a ferocious aura that makes people shudder.]

【Xie Yuan quickly came to your side and looked you up and down with concern: "Brother Guan, are you hurt?"】

[“No problem!”]

[Zhang Yunzhi's eyes were full of concern, and she opened her red lips slightly as if she was about to say something, but in the end she just pursed her lips and remained silent.]

[Mrs. Yuan has already stood up, frowning, and said in a deep voice: "Xie Yuan, what are you doing?"]

[She glanced at Zhuge Jian and Zhang Shizai behind Xie Yuan, and asked in a questioning tone: "Mr. Jingyue, Mr. Zhang, what is your intention?"]

【Xie Yuan stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, old lady."】

[He stood up, his eyes firm: "Xie Yuan came here because I felt that this matter was unfair and should not be handled in this way!"]

[The old lady said in a deep voice: "Today's matter has nothing to do with you, leave!"]

【Xie Yuan straightened his back, "Please allow me to report to you, my grandson is not being unreasonable. Even if Xie Guan made mistakes, it is absolutely true that Xie Renfeng set up the assassination at the banquet first. If there is to be punishment, it should be treated equally!"】

【Xie Renfeng's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he shouted, "Xie Yuan! Stop talking nonsense!"】

Madam Zhao stood up suddenly. "Xie Yuan, how dare you slander my son in public to protect Xie Guan? If you don't have any real evidence, don't speak nonsense."

[The old lady ignored Xie Yuan and her eyes fell on Zhuge Jian and the other man, her brows slightly furrowed.]

[“You two have come to my Xie family. I wonder if you have any advice for me?”]

[Seeing this, Li Nantian, who was about to leave, slowly sat back in his seat, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. ] [It seems that this play has not yet come to an end. ]

【Zhang Shizai stepped forward, bowed his hands, and spoke earnestly: "Old Lady, you are wise. The Xie family is strict in family management, and everyone in the court and the country has witnessed it. Although I am not fully aware of the twists and turns of today's incident, Xie Guan, as a member of the Xie family, has always been both virtuous and talented, and is indeed a rare talent. I hope that the old lady can consider the relationship of blood and give him a lenient sentence."】

[Mrs. Zhao immediately retorted after hearing this: "This is our Xie family's family affair, how can we allow outsiders to interfere?"]

【The old lady frowned slightly. She knew very well that Zhang Shizai in front of her was not only the direct descendant of the Zhang family, but also had held an important position in the Demon Slaughtering Division and had served as the governor of Longxi Province. He was deeply loved by the people. He was known for his integrity. The fact that he contradicted Prime Minister Su three times in the past is still praised by scholars. He enjoys a very high reputation both in the court and in the opposition.】

[Just when the atmosphere was heavy! ]

[Zhuge Jian suddenly smiled, as if a spring breeze was blowing: "I came here to congratulate the old lady and Madam Yuan."]

[Mrs. Yuan was stunned. "Congratulations?"]

[Zhuge Jian smiled slightly and continued, "Everyone knows that the Xie family produced Dingyuan Hou, who is very famous. However, few people know that Dingyuan Hou did not rely on the name of the Xie family. Instead, he was named a marquis based on his outstanding military achievements and was praised as the first hero among the nine major surnames."]

[“Mr. Hong, in those days, was famous in Bianjing for his contemporary writings, which attracted great attention in the city. Mr. Er became his close friend and almost became his disciple. Mr. San once praised him as ‘like a jade in its raw material’, with a great potential in his heart but not showing it, and a magnificent landscape in his mind.”]

[“Some people in Bianjing also call them the two pillars of the Xie family.”]

【Mrs. Yuan was stunned and didn’t understand what he meant.】

【Everyone in the hall held their breath and concentrated, even Mrs. Zhao forgot to refute. 】

[Zhuge Jian suddenly changed the subject, "Ancient towering trees must have their roots, and mighty rivers must have their sources. What is the source of the Xie family's ability to produce such a talented person?"]

[He bowed deeply to the old lady: "Today I know that it is because of the old lady's good management of the household that the family is prosperous."]

Zhuge Jian smiled and continued, "That's why I came here today to congratulate you. The Xie family has now added a young talent. The poems written by Master Xie Guan at the banquet have now spread all over the world. Not only are they recited by everyone in the West Wing, but even in the Sui Dynasty thousands of miles away, there are students competing to study them."

[“The scholars in the Imperial Academy and the Academy all praised Master Xie Guan highly, calling him ‘brilliant and brilliant’, a title he truly deserves.”]

[“Some time ago, I had the honor of seeing Mr. Xie Guan studying. His writings were full of the spirit of a great scholar, which was breathtaking.”]

[At this point, Zhuge Jian suddenly bowed again, his tone full of respect: "That's why I said that I came here today to congratulate you. After the two pillars of the Xie family, there is another young phoenix. Why should the Xie family worry about not prospering?"]

[Mrs. Yuan's face became increasingly ugly, but due to Zhuge Jian's status and reputation, she could not refute.]

[This Zhuge Jian, who also comes from the Zhuge family, one of the nine major surnames, is a direct disciple of Mr. San and a great scholar in the academy. He is now an official in the court, a second-rank official. His influence and status are incomparable to ordinary people.]

【Xie Yu's face darkened. He had always claimed to be the most outstanding son of the Xie family, and believed that one day he would be able to match the reputation of his father and uncle. But today, he was beaten to the punch by Xie Guan, a man he never took seriously.】

Zhuge Jian continued, "As the saying goes, a harmonious family brings prosperity. Confucianism says that to pass on a family legacy, one must study and work hard every day; to build a family, one must be frugal and diligent every day; to settle down a family, one must be humble and patient every day."]

[“A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have good fortune. Chan devoted all her efforts to her son. How pitiful are the hearts of parents in the world.”]

[“Xie Guan is guilty, but it is not limited to this.”]

[“In this chaotic world, I pity my child. My family is poor and I rely on my mother’s kindness. My mother’s heart is always filled with love.”]

[“Although Xie Guan has no biological mother, he has his stepmother’s guidance, and the old lady’s compassion and protection.”]

[These words were like a gentle spring breeze, implying both Confucian truth and human warmth. Mrs. Zhao opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment.]

[Everyone in the hall had different looks, and some nodded thoughtfully.]

【Xie Renfeng showed an anxious look on his face. He must not let Xie Guan escape this disaster at this moment.】

[At this moment, an old but decisive voice suddenly sounded:]

[“The family rules of our ancestors cannot be abolished! Without rules, there will be no order.” The old lady slammed her deer-head cane on the ground heavily, “Although I am an uneducated woman, I also understand this principle - if you make a mistake, you must be punished!”]

【Zhuge Jian and Zhang Shizai frowned at the same time.】

【Li Nantian heard the hidden meaning and shook his head secretly: The old lady is determined to punish Xie Guan. Even if the two important officials in the court come forward, it will be difficult to change the family affairs of the Xie family. After all, they are connected by blood, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to interfere too much. 】

[However, Li Nantian couldn't help but feel curious. How could Xie Guan, a bastard, have such ability to get such help from two important officials in the court? This Xie Guan, it seems, is really capable! ]

[The old lady changed the subject and spoke in a slightly slower tone: "However... since the two gentlemen have personally come to plead for mercy, I cannot refuse this favor. The original three hundred lashes will be reduced to two hundred lashes."]

[The old voice was filled with unquestionable majesty: "If you two insist on interfering in the affairs of my Xie family."]

[Her cloudy eyes suddenly became sharp, "Don't blame me for being ruthless."]

[This statement also has a warning meaning. I have given you face, but now we will be at loggerheads.]

【“Go ahead!” The old lady said firmly. 】

【Xie Yuan looks anxious and stops in front of you.】

[The old lady said, "Xie Yuan, you are making trouble today. Someone, take Xie Yuan away."]

【Xie Xuan's pupils moved slightly, and he already understood in his heart that even if he called Su Yun today, it would be difficult to change this ironclad situation.】

[Two black-robed warriors are approaching. ]

[The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly froze! ]
