Fairy contract

Today is the New Year of the Five Realms Calendar, the eighth day of Carlo's death.

In the past, the bustling Shang Mansion, which was bustling with great activities every New Year, was surprisingly deserted this time. Most of the servants went home on vacation, and only a few homeless people stayed in the Shang Mansion to do odd jobs.

Several of Shang Hao's uncles also came back from other places. Merchants have been doing business for generations. None of Shang Hao's cousins ​​have any magical talent, and they started taking over the family business very early.

And in these decades, Shang Hao, the only one who has awakened his magical talent, has placed the expectations of the entire Shang family on him. Naturally, the elders of the Shang family are extremely concerned about Shang Hao's affairs.

Facing the death of this elf who had brought great help to the Shang family, several elders held unanimous opinions, and the entire Shang family bid farewell to him in silence.

After experiencing the initial sadness, Shang Hao quickly recovered from his emotions.

The dead are gone, the living are like this.

Sitting in the room, Shang Hao was sorting out his training plan for the next stage, when there was a sudden knock on the door.Shang Hao put down the pen in his hand, and just as he was about to speak, the door was pushed open, and a small head poked in from outside the door. His face was somewhat similar to Shang Hao's.

Shang Hao looked at the child's appearance and smiled happily and asked, "Shang Yi, why do you come to me again? If you don't practice martial arts well, I know it's time to train you again."

"Brother Shang Ming asked me to call you to have lunch." Shang Yi opened the door and walked in. He stared at Shang Hao with his big eyes and walked quickly to Shang Hao.

Shang Hao smiled, picked up Shang Yi and sat on his lap, and asked, "Is Brother Shang Ming back too? When did he get home?"

"Brother Shang Hao, you stay in your room every day and don't go out. Brother Shang Ming came back yesterday and you didn't even know." Shang Yi looked at Shang Hao and said with a little pout.

"Okay, okay, is it my fault? Let's go eat." Shang Hao smiled and touched Shang Yi's little head, put Shang Yi down from his lap, and got up and walked outside.

"You've grown so tall, it's time to awaken your magic this year, right?"

"Yes, there will be another test after the New Year, but it's probably useless. The magic talent of our Shang bloodline is already very low. It's already great to have someone with high talent like you, Brother Shang Hao!"

Although Shang Yi was young, only six years old, he spoke clearly and eloquently. Shang Hao couldn't help but patted Shang Yi on the head and said with a smile, "Uncle, I'm just counting on you to give me a shout out."

When Shang Yi was three years old, he was playing in the back garden with his mother. His mother was not paying attention while chatting with Lin Nan, and Shang Yi walked to the pool and fell in.The pool in the back garden of Shang Mansion was still very deep, but when Shang Yi fell, the huge pool was frozen in an instant.

The cold air released around Shang Yi's body even covered the flowers and plants around the pool with frost.When his family hurriedly picked up Shang Yi, he had already fallen into a coma and the coldness had disappeared. Shang Yi then remained in a coma for three days with a high fever that would not go away.

The family invited many doctors to diagnose him, and they all said that this was a precursor to the awakening of magic power. This made Shang Hao's uncle Shang Yun very happy. He invited a teacher to teach Shang Yi some basic magic knowledge and give him some training. .

But until now, Shang Yi has not awakened any magic talent even at the age of six.Carlo also checked Shang Yi when he was living in Shang Mansion, but could not find any problems.

Shang Hao and Shang Yi chatted and walked towards the restaurant. When they reached the restaurant, three tables were already filled.The two tables on the outside are a group of elders, and the innermost table are a group of juniors.

As soon as Shang Yi arrived at the door of the restaurant, he let go of Shang Hao's hand and ran to a slightly fat man at the innermost table. The man hugged Shang Yi and placed him on the seat beside him, then waved to Shang Hao with a smile.

"Shang Hao, come on, I'm waiting for you to come over and have dinner!"

The one who waved was Shang Ming, the son of Uncle Shang Hao's family and the oldest of Shang Hao's generation.Shang Hao smiled and waved in response to Shang Ming, then looked at the elders sitting at the table outside.

Most of the family members are away from home taking care of the family business and rarely go home. It is also difficult for Shang Hao to see these elders. Shang Hao's uncles have been very kind to Shang Hao since he was a child, and they talk to the elders enthusiastically. Say hello.

"Hao'er hasn't come out recently. My uncle hasn't seen you since he came home for two days."

"Hao'er is promising. I heard that Hao'er won the first place in Tianfeng Academy's freshman competition. Our Shang family finally has someone who is accomplished in magic."

"The two brats in my family can't do it. They don't have any magic talent. They don't do a good job in managing the industry. There was an error in the accounts a few days ago. I'm so angry."

Facing the words of all the elders, Shang Hao was also a little helpless.It was the second brother Shang Que who rescued Shang Hao.

"Dad, please don't dislike me every day. Please let Xiao Hao come over for dinner. He hasn't come out to eat all morning."

As soon as Shang Hao heard Shang Que speak, he immediately broke away from the concerns of several uncles and walked quickly to sit next to Shang Yi.After Shang Hao sat down, he realized that there was one more person than in previous years. He looked curiously at the woman sitting next to Shang Ming.

Shang Ming noticed Shang Hao's actions, looked at Shang Hao and chuckled, "This is your sister-in-law, Gia Sophie, we will get married in two years."

In fact, without waiting for Shang Ming to explain, Shang Hao roughly guessed the identity of this woman. He had heard his family talk about Shang Ming's fiancée for a long time, but Shang Hao had never seen her.

"Xiao Hao, we also heard what my aunt said about Mr. Carlo. Don't feel too bad. After all, Mr. Carlo also spent the last period of his life happily." Shang Que, who was sitting next to him, comforted Shang Hao. .

"Third brother is fine, I'm fine." Shang Hao is now very relieved about Carlo's departure. At this time, Shang Hao is more concerned about the Seven Clans League. Only by making himself stronger first can he be better. Good to learn about Carlo's past.

"You too, the third one, Hao'er, this is very bad. Why are you talking about these unhappy things? Come on, come on, it's the last day of this year. Let's all be together and forget all the unhappiness this year." As the eldest brother, Shang Ming took the lead, raised his glass, and greeted the others.

"Yeah, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Hao'er hasn't come out to accompany us these days. We have to have a good drink today." Shang Que also looked at Shang Hao with a smile while holding a wine glass.

"You kid, you know how to make trouble. If your younger brothers and sisters can't drink enough, please let them drink less!" As soon as Shang Que finished speaking, the second uncle at the table next to him made a loud voice, and Shang Que immediately gave up.

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Shang Que said, "I know, Dad, I'm not young anymore, please always save some face for me!"

Then Shang Que leaned into Shang Hao's ear and whispered, "Leave him alone, let's continue drinking."

Everyone laughed. Second uncle Shang Hao and Shang Que were both very easy-going people. They were noisy at home on weekdays, but their father-son relationship was very good.

With this commotion, the atmosphere that was originally a little gloomy when talking about Carlo became cheerful again. Shang Hao took advantage of no one's attention and secretly poured a little to the little Shang Yi next to him. After finishing the drink, Shang Yi's face turned red and he was very sad. It's cute.

After a while, Shang Yi fell into sleep in Shang Ming's arms. Although there was not as much fuss as in previous years, this New Year's family gathering was still lively.
