Chapter 840 Tianpeng Remains
Walking out of Chi Lian's house, looking at the bone in his hand, Xiao Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Who would use such a thing as a betrothal gift?
But Chi Lian's ancestor was serious and didn't mean to joke at all, so Xiao Mian had to obey his orders.
In just a moment, Xiao Mian arrived at the Jin's mansion.
"Jin Weili! I'm here to play with you again!"
Xiao Mian stood at the door and shouted loudly, knowing the way.
According to Xiao Mian's experience, this was much faster than asking the Jin family cultivators to report...
Sure enough, Xiao Mian had just finished shouting, and in less than ten breaths, a golden light flashed, and Jin Weili appeared in front of Xiao Mian with a fierce face.
"You kid! Why didn't you die in the golden cave?"
"If I die! Who will be the matchmaker for you, elder sister?"
"......, are you itching again?"
"Let's not talk about that! I came here today because I really have something important to do. I wonder if your grandfather..."
"Grandpa is meeting a distinguished guest, you kid, forget it!"
"Distinguished guest? Could it be that his surname is Shen?"
"......, humph! You are not stupid!"
"Wait a minute! Elder sister! Are you really going to marry into the Shen family? "
"Is it none of your business whether I marry or not?"
"Sister! I am here to ask for marriage on behalf of the Chi Lian family! I know that my status is too low, but in an emergency, I am here with the engagement contract and betrothal gifts signed by the ancestor of the Chi Lian family, to meet the ancestor of the Jin family!"
"Engagement contract and betrothal gifts? Really?"
"Why? Sister, do you want to see your engagement contract?"
"..., follow me!"
Glazing at Xiao Mian fiercely, Jin Weili finally welcomed Xiao Mian into the Jin family.
But this time, the two of them naturally did not go to the arena.
The lobby of the Jin family is called Jingzhao Hall!
When Xiao Mian entered Jingzhao Hall under the leadership of Jin Weili, someone came up to greet him first.
"Haha! I heard that Miss Jin was in seclusion to heal her wounds, and Chuzhi was very worried. Miss Jin was injured by Mo Pan last night, but she is not seriously injured, right? Chuzhi has a bottle of excellent seventh-grade elixir, which is specially used to treat various injuries. Why not give it to Miss Jin..."
"Injuries? I still have dog-skin plasters!"
It was Xiao Mian who interrupted Shen Chuzhi's show-off at the right time.
"Huh? What are you doing here as a cultivator from Nanyue State?"
"Oh! What qualifications do you have as a cultivator from Dongwu State to ask me what I am doing here as a cultivator from Nanyue State?"
"You!"
"You two! My grandfather, how can I allow you to be so presumptuous!?"
It was Jin Weili who finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the argument between the two.
Shen Chuzhi was stunned, but Xiao Mian had already taken a step forward and saluted Jin Jueyuan.
"Junior Nanyue Xiao Mian! Meet the ancestor!"
"You kid! You haven't come for so many days, I thought you forgot the way to my Jin family!"
When Jin Jueyuan said this, he was serious, but there was a hint of teasing in his tone, which made Xiao Mian more confident.
Whether it was Jin Weili's rejection of Shen Chuzhi in public yesterday, or Jin Jueyuan's deep meaning today, Xiao Mian keenly grasped: Jin Weili and Shen Chuzhi, I'm afraid there is no chance at all!
Although I don't know why Jin Jueyuan refused to marry the strongest person in the realm of Tianzun like Bai Shouweng, this is naturally good news for Xiao Mian.
At the moment, Xiao Mian got straight to the point and stated his purpose, and then stood aside respectfully.
Shen Chuzhi's face was as ugly as it could be - he originally came to discuss his marriage with Jin Weili today, but Jin Jueyuan evaded him by saying that Jin Weili was in seclusion to heal his injuries. Unexpectedly, not long after, Jin Weili brought Xiao Mian in.
How can this be a retreat? ?
Think of Shen Chuzhi, who is also a famous person in Dongwuzhou.
Although Shen Chuzhi's reputation is not as good as Zi Yi Hou and Ye Lanshan, it is because he has not formed the ninth-grade golden elixir, not that his strength is not as good as the first two.
It can even be said that among these top masters who have reached the realm of Tianzun, there are still only a few who have truly cultivated the ninth-grade golden elixir...
In Dongwuzhou, if the news that Shen Chuzhi is going to publicly recruit a wife spreads, I am afraid that all the female cultivators in Dongwuzhou will go crazy!
He didn't expect that in Tianxia City, he was rejected by Jin Weili!
"Senior Jin! Isn't this not good? Things always have to be first come first served..."
"Brother Shen is right! I have been arranging this marriage with the Chi Lian family as early as the year before. Please follow the first come first served principle, Brother Shen!"
"Who the hell are you!? How dare you call me a brother?"
With a gloomy face, Shen Chuzhi glared at Xiao Mian.
Xiao Mian smiled indifferently, then suddenly turned his face.
"Shen Chuzhi! Since you don't want to call me brother, I can only call you by your name! If you are interested in Miss Jin Weili, it depends on whether she is interested in you. I heard Miss Jin's words clearly in the Golden Cave last night! What? Didn't you hear it clearly? Do you want me to repeat that sentence again?"
"Xiao Mian! You are so brave!"
Fiercely, Shen Chuzhi exuded a wave of spiritual consciousness.
Before Shen Chuzhi could make a move, Jin Weili attacked and protected Xiao Mian.
"Shen Chuzhi! Since you want to talk about who comes first, then today I will put it here: I already have the flesh and blood of the Chi Lian family in my belly, you can do whatever you want!"
Jin Weili's words not only stunned Shen Chuzhi, but also Xiao Mian, who couldn't understand. After a long time, he gave a thumbs up to Jin Weili's back - Big sister! Even if what you said is true, you don't have to be so frank, right?
How can men like us feel when a female man is so bad?
Instead, it was Jin Jueyuan who spoke at the right time.
"How dare you! Although my Jin family is not a famous family, it is also a powerful family. How can we allow you to do such a reckless thing? From today on, you will be punished to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors and not to go out at will!"
"......, yes!"
After respectfully agreeing, Jin Weili quietly walked out of Jingzhao Hall.
"Chuzhi! Look at what happened... It's really a misfortune for our family!"
"This... Humph!"
"After such a scandal, how can my Jin family be worthy of marrying with your Shen family? Chuzhi! With your character and appearance, you will definitely find a more suitable Taoist partner!"
"That's right! That's right! Chuzhi! If there is really nothing suitable in your Dongwu Province, I can help you find one in Nanyue Province..."
Imitating Jin Jueyuan, Xiao Mian called Shen Chuzhi's name.
"Xiao Mian! I will avenge the wife-stealing today!" After glaring at Xiao Mian fiercely, Shen Chuzhi bowed to Jin Jueyuan: "Things in the world are unpredictable! I can only blame Chuzhi and Miss Jin for not being destined to be together. It's a pity! Chuzhi will not disturb you now!"
"Chuzhi, go slowly!"
Although Jin Jueyuan's words were polite, he sat firmly in the chair, motionless.
Seeing this, Xiao Mian hurriedly stepped forward, took out the engagement letter and betrothal gifts of the Chilian family, and handed them to Jin Jueyuan like offering treasures.
Jin Jueyuan did not answer, but asked.
"Do you know why I rejected the Shen family's marriage proposal?"
"This..., it's better to keep the wealth within the family?"
"You bastard! You are so bold!" It was rare that Jin Jueyuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cursed loudly, laughed three times, but then tightened his face and said softly: "Senior Baishou Weng was once a hidden demon, and was born in the Baishou Lingwu clan!"
"Hidden demon? Baishou Lingwu?"
"The Baishou Lingwu may not be well-known among ordinary cultivators, but it is quite notorious among my bird clan! However, since Senior Baishou Weng, there has been no half-demon body in the second generation of the Shen family. It was not until the third generation that Shen Chuzhi appeared. !"
"Shen Chuzhi is a half-demon?"
"Yes! Shen Chuzhi's mother is a five-colored crystal jade bird!"
"..., Senior, you suspect that the reason why the Shen family is so concerned is that they value the blood of the Jin family's Golden Winged Dapeng?"
"That's for sure! Besides, when Bai Shouweng became famous, he offended some people. The Shen family will naturally have no worries with him, but if he dies in the future, how can the Shen family be saved by relying on a few half-demon bodies? I can't let Wei Li jump into that fire pit. Besides, I know that this girl is obsessed with Chi Lianyun!"
After saying this, Jin Jueyuan had time to look at the things Xiao Mian brought up.
There was nothing strange about the engagement contract. What really made Jin Jueyuan care was the white bone.
"Huh?" Just as Xiao Mian was feeling anxious, Jin Jueyuan had already reached out and grabbed the bones, examining them carefully. After a long time, he smiled calmly: "I thought Chi Lian Nishang could always be so heartless! It turns out that she also cares about something!"
"Senior, calm down! I also think that using bones as a betrothal gift is a bit..."
"What do you know, kid? This piece of bones is worth a fortune!"
"May I ask, senior: what exactly is this?"
"Hmph! This is a piece of wing bone of a golden-winged roc— —And this golden-winged roc is a senior who has cultivated to the level of transformation and above! "
"Transformation... transformation!? Could it be that this is from ten thousand years ago..."
"It should be! I didn't expect that the Chi Lian family still had such a treasure, and I didn't expect that she, Chi Lian Nishang, would take it out for the sake of power... If the power is obtained, if you comprehend it well, it is not difficult to comprehend a trace of the predecessor's understanding of the great way from it!"
A trace of understanding of the great way is no less than some secret scrolls of heavenly books.
It should be known that the lineage of the demon clan attaches great importance to blood inheritance, and few great demons will open a book to record their own cultivation methods and experiences.
There is no need for this, and there is no interest in this.
The inheritance of the demon clan is in the blood.
The reason why Yin Jiansheng could not master the sword inheritance belonging to the blood evil sword ape is because he is a half-demon. After being activated by Elder Hou, he suddenly realized it.
If Jin Weili gets this piece of white bone, the benefits he will get are unimaginable to outsiders!
It can be seen that although Chi Lian Patriarch repeatedly said that she did not agree with the marriage between Chi Lianyun and Jin Weili, in her mind, she probably acquiesced long ago.
Otherwise, she would not have been so angry and deliberately exploded the furnace in the Copper Furnace Pavilion because the Jin family might marry the Shen family...
Seeing Jin Jueyuan nodded and agreed, Xiao Mian was really relieved.
Chi Lianyun, Jin Weili, Chi Lianxia, Xie Ying, the four of you, wait for me!
