Extra Chapter 2: The Emperor Wuwu Chases His Wife 6
After they arrived at the Beast Tamer Alliance meeting, they were told by the young man at the front desk: "Sorry, you two, tomorrow is the day when the Beast Tamer Awakening Ceremony in Kyoto City will be held. All the staff of our testing department have been assigned to I'm on a business trip to various cities. Why don't you go directly to the site for testing tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Uncle Dong's face was filled with disappointment, but what Sheng Shi'an said last night came to Xu Qingtian's mind.
"good."
After leaving the Beast Tamer Alliance meeting, Xu Qingtian took out his mobile phone to ask for leave from the teacher. Uncle Dong said regretfully: "Hey, it's a pity that I can't do the test today. Otherwise, when the eldest son returns to the Xu family tonight, he will definitely make them fall." Eyeball popping.”
Xu Qingtian shook his head and said, "It's okay."
"Today is the 15th, right?" Uncle Dong said, "It's the day for the Xu family to have a big dinner again." There are already more than a hundred people in the family.
On the 15th of every month, the Xu family will come to the Xu family's old house to hold a family banquet to connect with each other.
On this day, except for the Xu family who could not attend the performance, everyone else had to attend.
Naturally, Xu Qingtian was also present.
At every family dinner, Xu Qingtian would be picked out by his relatives and put together to compare with Xu Xingguang.
Compared to Uncle Dong's worry, Xu Qingtian seemed a little indifferent, "It's okay, they can't eat me." They just ignored him, ignored him, and did not humiliate him in public, which was considered well-educated.

In the evening, the main residence of the Xu family was brightly lit, and the men, women, and children of the Xu family gathered together.
As a family of artists, the Xu family's pursuit of art has reached a perverted level, and their pursuit of beauty is also quite high. Similarly, they also have strict conditions when choosing a spouse.
In the Xu family, there will never be a handsome guy falling in love with Cinderella or a beautiful girl falling in love with the beast. The Xu family likes all beautiful and gorgeous things, and their spouses are also people who have achieved success in their careers and have extraordinary looks.
Xu Qingtian had dinner outside first to fill his stomach, and then rushed to the banquet. When he arrived at the banquet, most of the Xu family had already arrived, and Xu Qingtian walked towards his parents. "Dad, Mom."
Xu Langge and Zhou Qingzi turned around and saw Xu Qingtian coming to the banquet wearing a casual shirt and trousers, and they immediately showed displeasure. Zhou Qingzi said, "Why didn't you even change your clothes?" The Xu family's family banquet was as luxurious and grand as a large-scale awards show in the film and television industry. Who was not wearing gorgeous clothes?
Xu Qingtian was wearing a loose shirt and suit trousers. This outfit was out of place in the eyes of the Xu family who pursued refinement and perfection.
But they did not give Xu Qingtian a chance to explain, so they said to Xu Qingtian: "Director Su, the poet, was invited to attend the party today. He is currently preparing to shoot a fantasy movie. Your image is very consistent with the protagonist. Come, come with us to talk to Director Mo Kesu."
Xu Langge and his wife still want to make Xu Qingtian a dazzling star.
Since he has no artistic talent, just throw him into the entertainment industry. At least his face can be considered a work of art.
Xu Qingtian was about to refute, but they pulled him over.
Mo Ke Su is a white-haired old man in his sixties. He already has a considerable status in the film industry, but he still spent a lot of effort to attend the Xu family's family dinner and gain the support of the Xu family. He came here today just to give Xu Qingtian a chance to establish a relationship with the Xu family.
…
Seeing Xu Qingtian, Su Xiao smiled politely. He held Xu Qingtian's hand and said with a smile: "Is this the eldest son?"
Xu Qingtian nodded politely, "Hello, Director Mo Kesu."
The scholar Su looked Xu Qingtian up and down, and said to Xu Langge and his wife with an eager smile: "A few days ago, many male actors came to audition. I originally thought two of them were pretty good. But we met today. When I got to Mr. Xu, I suddenly felt that he was the Zhou Ke I wanted."
Zhou Ke is the young character in the movie Su Xin.
In fact, this fantasy movie was made by Mo Kesu, who specially asked the screenwriter to use Xu Qingtian as a reference in order to gain support from the Xu family.
This movie can only be made by Xu Qingtian.
Hearing this, Xu Qingtian and his wife also laughed, "Really? It seems that our child is born to eat this bowl of rice."
Zhou Qingzi squeezed Xu Qingtian's forearm and hinted to him: "Tiantian, would you like to have a detailed chat with Director Su, the poet?"
Xu Qingtian said: "It's very late, let's talk another day. Tomorrow is the beast master's awakening test ceremony. This year, I want to participate in the beast master test ceremony and I want to rest early."
As soon as these words came out, the Xu family members who had been listening to their conversation with their ears were quiet for a moment.
Director Mo Kesu's expression also became strange.
Xu Langge and Zhou Qingzi were also stunned. Even Xu Xingguang, who was standing nearby chatting with his uncle and aunt, couldn't help but cast a surprised look at Xu Qingtian.
The Xu family has given birth to countless great figures in the art world, but it has never given birth to a beast master. To them, the Beast Tamer is a legendary profession that lives in another world.
In the art circle, if you squeeze hard enough, you can still come in and get a foot in the door. But if you want to become a beast master and enter the world of cultivation, you can't do it by working hard and making some connections.
For a moment, the surrounding Xu family members all focused on Xu Qingtian.
The way they looked at him became funny and playful.
This kid was probably stimulated, so he was talking nonsense to win.
Director Mo Kesu didn't know how to answer for a while.
Xu Langge came back to his senses and stared at Xu Qingtian with warning eyes. He said, "Tiantian, what are you talking about?"
Xu Qingtian was not afraid of his father's majesty at all. He said: "According to the laws of our Shenyue Kingdom, every child should actively participate in the beast master's awakening test ceremony every year after reaching the age of ten. Dad. , I am already 15 years old this year, I should go to the test ceremony, what do you think?"
He directly moved out of the laws of Shenyue Kingdom.
With so many people watching, could Xu Lange still be able to trample the law under his feet?
His smile faded a little, his tone became calmer, and he said: "The Xu family has never produced a beast master, and even your grandpa Zeng failed to become a beast master back then. Are you really planning to participate in the test ceremony? ? Every day, the Xu family lives under the spotlight, and every move of the Xu family is affected. Are you sure you want to participate in the beast master's awakening ceremony? "
Xu Langge has made it very clear.
He was telling Xu Qingtian that if he insisted on participating in the awakening ceremony and successfully awakened the beast state, that would be fine. If he fails to awaken his beastly state, he will inevitably be slandered and ridiculed by the media, and the Xu family will also be embarrassed.
…
Xu Qingtian said: "Every year, there are countless children who participate in the beast master's awakening ceremony to test, but how many children can successfully awaken the beast state? There is no shame in success or failure."
After saying that, Xu Qingtian lowered his eyes and looked at a trace of dirt on his sneakers. He suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Xu Langge and his wife fearlessly for the first time. He said soberly and bravely: "I know that my parents are partial, and I know that I have already..." Life has become a background, knowing that if you continue to be silent, you will spend your whole life in obscurity. If you are willing to degenerate and accept mediocrity, that is the real shame."
Hearing this, Xu Langge and his wife changed their expressions on the spot.
Xu Xingguang's eyes moved slightly, and the look he looked at his brother became strange.
interesting.
Ever since Xu Xingguang became sensible, his brother has always been silent and quiet in his impression. He neither fights nor grabs. He obviously wants his parents' love, but he always habitually stands in the distance and looks at them quietly.
Xu Xingguang knew that his parents favored him and ignored his brother.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Who makes him unwilling to fight for his parents' favor?
Today, I finally saw my brother stand up for himself. For the first time, Xu Xingguang saw his brother in his eyes.
"Tiantian, what are you talking about?" Zhou Qingzi felt embarrassed.
Xu Qingtian didn't believe that they didn't understand what they were talking about. He lowered his eyes and said to his mother, "Dad, Mom, I don't envy you for preferring your naturally dazzling brother, but please don't stop me from shining."
If no one lights a lamp for him, he will burn himself.
He could no longer resign himself to mediocrity.
The existence of the woman in red became his motivation to pursue the world of cultivation. He wants to find her, find out her identity, and find out their relationship.
In the past, when he raised his head, his sight could never go beyond the high-walled courtyard of the Xu family. But now, he suddenly wanted to jump out of the high-walled compound and see how vast the sky was and how majestic the mountains were.
