Chapter 802: A Dead End
Until he walked out of Jin's house, Jin Jueyuan's words were still echoing in Xiao Mian's mind.
Is Xie Long really not caring about the true feelings of Xie Ying and Chi Lianxia at all, and is he going to do that evil thing of beating up the couple?
If this is true, not only Xie Ying and Chi Lianxia, but also Chi Lianyun and Jin Weili can be regarded as being torn apart by him!
Judging from Jin Jueyuan's posture just now, it seemed that he was sure that Xie Long would never let go.
call……
This is really troublesome!
If I had known this, I wouldn't have joined in the fun...
It’s just that now I have finally convinced the ancestors of Chi Lian and the Jin family. I have traveled ninety-nine miles of a hundred miles, and this is the last step!
The ancestors of Chi Lian and the Jin family both promised themselves benefits.
Although I don’t know what the Jin family ancestor will get in return, the reward from Chi Lian ancestor’s two attacks is enough to make Xiao Mian’s blood boil.
That’s it!
Whether you succeed or not, you have to go to Xie's house!
Xie Ying and Chi Lianxia helped him a lot. If he could accomplish their good deeds, Xiao Mian would try his best to help them even if there was no reward.
With this in mind, Xiao Mian quickly arrived at the door of Xie's house.
Xiao Mian did not go directly to meet the ancestor of the Xie family, but went to Xie Ying first.
After explaining all his running around today, Xiao Mian just looked at Xie Ying.
"How...how are you doing?"
"Brother! It's not easy for me! Look here! Look here again! But it was all injured by that evil bitch Jin Weili - she is not a human being!"
"..., you just realized that she is not a human? She is a half-demon!"
"..., can we talk properly? Who am I working so hard for?"
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Brother, I will keep this great kindness in mind. As long as you can convince my grandpa this time, I will call you brother!"
"That's it? Why do I want you to call me brother? Can you be more practical?"
"I knew..., yes! Whatever you like in my small courtyard, as long as you can take it away, you can take it!"
"real?"
"Fat man, I may be treacherous, but at least I still have some character!"
"Okay! Brother, I will trust you again! However, brother, your situation is not optimistic! Do you know? Even the ancestor of the Jin family does not think highly of you!"
At that moment, Xiao Mian repeated Jin Jueyuan's words.
"Brother, do you know why your great-grandfather was so decisive?"
"This..., I really don't know..."
"Look! Look! This is the biggest problem! You don't even know why the old man objects, how can you use force? Where should you use force?"
"Then you say: What should we do?"
"We must first understand why the old man is so opposed to intermarriage between men and demons! Only by finding out the reason can we make a clear target, either softly or hard. With the wisdom of brothers like you and me, how can we be afraid of not being able to defeat an old man when we are brothers?" Seeing Xie Ying was eager to try what he said, so Xiao Mian changed the topic: "From among you in the Xie family, who is the most favored by the old man on weekdays? I know it's definitely not you anyway!"
"If we say who is favored the most, it is naturally Lingfeng!"
"Xie Lingfeng? How is your relationship with her?"
"That's great! There's nothing to say about that! It's just the two of us among the younger generation of the Xie family!"
"Ah? Your father only has you as his precious son? Your second uncle is easy to understand. I'm afraid he doesn't even have a Taoist companion, right? But your third uncle..."
"Do you also know my third uncle's reputation?"
"The third son of the Xie family is charming and suave. Who doesn't know him?"
"Lingfeng is not the daughter of my third uncle, but the only daughter of my fourth uncle!"
"Do you still have a fourth uncle? Thank you to the wolf or to the dog?"
"Go away! My fourth uncle's name is Xie Xiong! It's just...it's just that my fourth uncle couldn't congeal the baby. He died shortly after Lingfeng was born..."
"Come on! Be content! There are four of your father and brothers, one is an intermediate Nascent Soul, two are elementary Nascent Souls, plus your grandfather, one is a fourth-level Nascent Soul, that's enough!"
Xiao Mian's words are true. After all, like the Jin family and the Chi Lian family, although there are many Yuanying monks, they are not of the same strain. For example, Jin Bakong, who died at the hands of Xiao Mian that day, was Jin Jueyuan's nephew. Son, Jin Jueyuan didn't care about his death.
But the Xie family is a human being after all, not to mention that the Xie family brothers are siblings from the same mother. It is awe-inspiring that three of the four brothers can successfully conceive.
After talking for a while, Xie Ying went to find Xie Lingfeng to test the tone of the Xie family ancestor.
Xiao Mian took the opportunity to conduct a carpet-like search in Xie Ying's courtyard. He must pick out the most valuable thing in the courtyard...
Within a moment, Xie Ying left and returned.
"how?"
"Not at all! Because of Lingfeng's favor, as soon as he talked about Xia'er and I, he was scolded by my grandfather and ordered to go into seclusion for meditation!"
"So miserable!? Fortunately, I didn't pounce on him, otherwise I would have been slapped out of Xie's house by the old man..."
"You! You asked Lingfeng to be your pawn!"
"How do you say that? If you want to talk about pawns, Miss Lingfeng will also be your pawns, okay? I despise you! But it seems that your old man is really not opposed to this matter... Where is your father? He knows Don’t you know some secrets?”
"he?"
"What? You two don't have a good relationship?"
"It's not about whether it's good or not! He's just very disappointed in me..."
Under Xiao Mian's questioning, Xie Ying revealed the secret.
But it turns out that Xie Ying's father, Xie Hu, is the eldest son of Xie Long. He has the demeanor of the ancestor of the Xie family, and his cultivation level is already at the mid-level Nascent Soul level.
But his only son, Xie Ying, who had high hopes for him, had been practicing Taoism for more than a hundred years, and he had only reached the embarrassing level of the middle-level Golden Elixir!
It should be noted that Chi Lianyun, Jin Weili and others of the same generation as Xie Ying are already at the top level of Jindan. Chi Lianxia, a high-level Jindan, is still younger than Xie Ying.
Xie Hu, who was already a little disappointed with Xie Ying, after learning about the relationship between Xie Ying and Chi Lianxia, naturally thought that Xie Ying only cared about personal affairs between men and women, but neglected his practice. Who knew that Xie Ying himself had no fundamental understanding of practice? Not much interest.
"I'll tell you the truth, brother! I would rather go into business than practice cultivation, but my father is also stubborn. No one can change the truth he believes in except the old man."
"The old man is not willing to let you and Sister Chi Lian get along with each other, so naturally he can't help you persuade your uncle. My uncle has misunderstood you and Sister Chi Lian, so naturally he can't help you persuade the old man. Isn't this an endless cycle? ?"
"Who says it's not!"
"Wait! Wait!" Signaling Xie Ying to shut up for the moment, Xiao Mian was thoughtful. After a long time, he asked: "Since uncle has misunderstood you and Sister Chi Lian, let's let him make the mistake. It's okay, let's do it again. Just follow the plan..."
"Make a mistake by making a mistake? Make a plan by making a plan? Make a plan and make it work?"
"You then make a military order in front of my uncle: As long as you marry Sister Chi Lian, you will definitely work hard to become stronger! Be brave and diligent! Strive to reach the top!"
"This... I can't do it! I can't do it! My father is a fool! If he takes this matter seriously, even if I marry Xia'er, I will surely sink in pain for the rest of my life. I have too much time to take care of myself, even if Xia'er marries me How can I be happy?"
"You still have the nerve to say that the old man and uncle are stupid? I think you are also stupid! Let's cook the rice first. Is it possible that my uncle still dares to cancel the Chi Lian family's marriage? As for letting you practice cultivation, You can divert the trouble away from the enemy!"
"Diverting trouble to the east? To whom?"
"Can't you and Sister Chi Lian work hard to give my uncle a grandson as soon as possible? By then, your status in my uncle's mind will definitely plummet!"
"This...is this okay too!?"
"Believe me! That's right! Now you just go and issue a military order to your uncle and see how he responds. If even so, he still doesn't agree with your marriage to Sister Chi Lian, then we can only find another way and discuss it in the long term! "
"..., that's right! I'll go check out the old man's tone first..."
At that moment, Xie Ying left again, and Xiao Mian started looking for him again.
Only this time, it took Xie Ying a long time before his expression turned serious.
"The old man agreed! However, I'm afraid there's still no chance..."
"What? Do you know the reason why the old man doesn't agree with you and Sister Chi Lian's marriage? Tell me! One person is short-term, and two people are long-term!"
Xie Ying nodded and spoke slowly.
But it turns out that the root of this matter still lies in Xie Long’s wife—Xie Ying’s grandmother!
Back then, when Xie Ying's grandmother was pregnant with her fourth child, she encountered some changes, which eventually led to premature birth. After giving birth to Xie Xiong, she passed away.
"The accident was caused by demon cultivators?"
"Well! Even my old man doesn't know the details of the matter, but my grandma died because of a demon cultivator. There is no doubt about this! It is for this reason that in the following hundreds of years, the old man has always regarded Fei as a cultivator. My race must be different..., alas! It’s hard for him in the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce..."
Halfway through the words, Xie Ying remained silent, but Xiao Mian already understood.
Among the thirteen families of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, there are only a handful of purely human monk families like the Xie family. The others are either original demons or half-demon.
Xie Ying hated the demon cultivator deeply, but he had to stay with the demon cultivator all day long.
Over hundreds of years, temperament and temperament will inevitably become extreme.
"My father means that even if he is willing to persuade the old man, I am afraid he will end up being scolded and bloody - unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless my grandma takes pity on me, the eldest grandson of the eldest son, and can show up in front of the old man and plead for me in person, otherwise - there is absolutely no chance!"
"Brother! Your grandma has been dead for hundreds of years. Where do you want me to find a grandma for you?"
"Now that things have come to this, I can only stop mentioning this matter!"
"But……"
"We are destined but not separated, so what can we do?"
Xie Ying, who had always had a generous heart and a fat body, showed such sadness when he said these words that even Xiao Mian couldn't help but feel sad when he heard it.
Obviously, his previous relationship with Chi Lianxia was something that others could not understand.
But what lies before them is a dead end!
