"It's okay, just don't ask." Si Ye sighed softly, with a rather helpless tone.
Seeing that Si Ye was unwilling to say more, Ye Qingtang would not continue to break the casserole and ask the end.
A while later, Si Ye brought Ye Qingtang outside the study.
"Grandpa, Tangtang is here." Si Ye said.
"come in."
The voice of the head of the Si family came from the study, a little weak.
Immediately, Si Ye took Ye Qingtang into the study.
In the front seat of the study is an old man, who is the head of the Si family.
However, the Patriarch of the Si family now has gray temples. Compared with two years ago, he looks a lot more vicissitudes, and his face has lost some normal blood color. From Ye Qingtang's eyesight, Naturally, it can be seen that the Patriarch of the Si family should have been seriously injured before. Although he recovered from the injury, he still has a persistent illness.
Given the age of the Patriarch of the Si family, such injuries are naturally fatal.
"Tangtang, when did you come back?" The Patriarch of the Si family looked at Ye Qingtang, got up immediately, and said with a smile.
"I just returned to Lin City today." Ye Qingtang replied truthfully.
"Tangtang, I heard that you went to the Xuan Lingzong to practice... why come back when you have time?" The Patriarch of the Si family asked in surprise.
Lincheng is thousands of miles away from Xuanlingzong, and it takes a long time to go back and forth. Generally speaking, with Ye Qingtang's situation, returning to Lincheng is somewhat unrealistic.
In a remote town like Lin City, they don't know much about the sect, and it is impossible for them to know about the changes in the Xuanling Sect. The secular world and the sect are like two completely separated worlds.
"Tangtang, don't tell me you haven't become an inner disciple of Xuanlingzong..." Si Ye looked at Ye Qingtang and said.
Si Ye and the others originally planned to go to the Zongmen for the Zongmen assessment more than half a year ago, but they were delayed due to events in the city.
Although the Xiaocheng family doesn't know much about Zongmen, they still know some basic rules.
To enter the sect to practice, one must first become an outer disciple, and the so-called outer disciple is equivalent to an assessment period. If you pass the assessment during the assessment period, you can become an inner disciple. However, one hundred outer disciples Among the disciples, five of them can become inner disciples, which is considered very good.
Now, Ye Qingtang suddenly returned to Lin City, but it made people think too much.
Hearing this, Ye Qingtang smiled slightly, but she didn't want to explain anything. It's complicated, so it's better not to mention it.
"Si Ye." Immediately, the Patriarch of the Si family gave Si Ye a rather displeased look. Even if Ye Qingtang failed the examination period of the sect and became an inner disciple of the sect, Si Ye shouldn't have said so bluntly. .
Si Ye also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he looked at Ye Qingtang apologetically.
"Grandpa Si, it's okay." Ye Qingtang smiled.
"By the way, Qingtang, have you gone home yet?" the Patriarch of the Si family asked.
"I came to visit Grandpa Si when I first entered Lincheng, so I haven't gone back yet." Ye Qingtang said.
Hearing the sound, the Patriarch of the Si family nodded, with a hint of relief appearing on his face.
"Grandpa Si, where's Si Bai?" Ye Qingtang couldn't help being a little surprised that he didn't see Si Bai after arriving at the Si family.
"The third brother is not at home now." Si Ye said with a smile:
"More than a year ago, after you left Lincheng, Grandpa asked someone to take care of your third brother according to the prescription you left behind. At that time, it was already much better..."
