Deer seeks fairyland

Chapter 141 The Patriarch's Attitude
The young master bestowing ceremony was held as scheduled, and the patriarch did not say much as Hu Yizhi expected.

On the contrary, Hu Weiyi, who was obviously dissatisfied, lost his temper after being called away by the patriarch for a long talk.

Hu Ruyi saw what happened today, so she wouldn't touch Grandpa's bad luck at this time, but this marriage matter is like a huge rock weighing on her heart, and she has been restless these days.

Judging from the attitude expressed by the patriarch today, it is almost impossible to agree to let the girl from the west courtyard marry into the city lord's mansion instead of him.

Hu Ruyi was sitting alone by the desk, staring out the window in a daze, her two white and tender palms were clenched tightly with five fingers, her pointed nails were deeply dug into the flesh, her delicate eyebrows and eyes were full of sadness.

After a long time, the girl in white lowered her eyes and whispered to herself, "Even Grandpa can't control this matter, can he really solve it?"

……

After moving to the east courtyard, Liu Xiaolu looked around the new courtyard several times from the inside to the outside with great interest, and finally chose his own room with satisfaction.

The new courtyard is not only much larger than the original residence in the west courtyard, but also more exquisitely furnished. There are all kinds of furniture and decorations in the courtyard, which won Liu Xiaolu's favor.

"Little deer."

As soon as Xiaoqing was settled, Liu Xiaolu heard Hu Yizhi's voice from the courtyard.

"Hey, here we come."

Liu Xiaolu agreed, and quickly walked out of the door, only to see Hu Yizhi, who was dressed in white, standing in the small pavilion in the courtyard, looking at her with crooked eyes.

Seeing that Hu Yizhi seemed to be in a good mood, Liu Xiaolu couldn't help asking curiously, "What's the matter with father?"

Hu Yizhi stretched out his hand and motioned for Liu Xiaolu to sit down in the pavilion, then smiled and said, "The patriarch just sent someone to pass me over to talk, let us be more careful during this time,

Don't expose the spiritual root attributes in front of outsiders, it seems that the marriage has finally come to an end. "

"When is this period of time?" Liu Xiaolu couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.

"Probably before Ruyi married the Young City Lord." Hu Yizhi was slightly taken aback, and then replied.

Liu Xiaolu's face showed a bit of struggle, and he pursed his lips and said, "Since the matter of marriage is not so important to my Hu family now, why do you still have to marry Sixth Sister to the City Lord's Mansion?"

Hu Yizhi shook his head, and pondered, "After all, the patriarch has already agreed to this matter before. The strength of the City Lord's Mansion is more than one step higher than that of my Hu family. If we repent at this time, I am afraid that we will be retaliated against."

"But Sixth Sister..."

Seeing that Liu Xiaolu wanted to say something more, Hu Yizhi couldn't help but interrupted, "Don't forget that Uncle Qi originally wanted to send Ruyi to the Hedao Sect. Compared with the one from the Hedao Sect, the Jin family is less The city lord can be regarded as a good home."

"Having said that, this may not be the destination that Sixth Sister wants. Besides, didn't my father also say that the Jin family's proposed marriage this time may not be because they really want to form an alliance with my Hu family." Liu Xiaolu said relentlessly .

"The situation will eventually change with the bargaining chips. Now that the strength of my Hu family has improved, the City Lord's Mansion is of course a little cautious at first, but it will be temporarily put away and deal with it carefully." Hu Yizhi persuaded softly with a serious face.

Hearing what Hu Yizhi said, Liu Xiaolu couldn't say anything more, so he could only lower his head and said angrily, "After all, we are restrained everywhere because we are not as strong as others."

She is just a little cultivator in the Qi refining period, and if she can't take care of herself, what ability does she have to change the fate of Sixth Sister?

If it weren't for my slightly better aptitude and my master's full protection, I'm afraid the situation would only be more difficult than that of sixth sister.

In the eyes of the superiors, the worry of their lives and their marriage is nothing more than a deal between forces, some insignificant exchange of bargaining chips.

Seeing the dimmed look in Liu Xiaolu's eyes, Hu Yizhi stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of her hair with some distress, and comforted her,

"My generation of immortal cultivators respect strength. I told you about this earlier. Don't think wildly, your aptitude is very good, as long as you cultivate with peace of mind."

Seeing that she was still bowing her head and saying nothing, Hu Yizhi had no choice but to coax again, "It's been a long time since I went to Zongyuan City with you, how about I take you to Uncle Lou's tomorrow?"

Liu Xiaolu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he raised his head and said in surprise, "Really? Father is going out tomorrow too? Grandpa Lou was talking about it a few days ago, saying that he hadn't seen his father for a long time. If Father went tomorrow, Grandpa Lou would be very happy." happy."

Hu Yizhi smiled helplessly, and replied, "When did I ever lie to you?"

"That's great. Tomorrow, my father must come with me to taste the syrup cooked by Grandma Qu. It's delicious! Oh, by the way, Xiaoqing will wake up at some point, and we need to buy more bamboo rat belts." Come back and keep it."

Liu Xiaolu bowed his head and pulled his fingers, counting them one by one endlessly.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Hu Yizhi responded softly, secretly thinking in his heart that this child is after all a teenager at heart, so he was relieved.

The two chatted in the pavilion for a while, until the sun was setting, Liu Xiaolu smiled and said goodbye to Hu Yizhi and returned to his room.

As soon as the door was closed, the relaxed smile on the girl's face was suddenly withdrawn, her lips were tightened, and her resolute eyes were like two clusters of bright candles, shining brightly in the unlit room.

……

In the study of the head of the Hu family, two white-clothed men with seven or eight similar faces were talking at night while holding candles.

"Father, according to reports from the manpower placed in the Jingtian Tower, the seventh brother has been in frequent contact with Lu Xingyun of the City Lord's Mansion recently. Behind his urging to change the marriage candidate in the past few days, there may be the shadow of the City Lord's Mansion." Hu Weixian stood in the case with his hands down. Beside, frowned.

"So what?" Another older man in white clothes raised his eyebrows with a smile.

Hu Weixian used his fingers to brush the broken hair that fell around his ears, and said in a deep thought, "The City Lord's Mansion probably already knew about the girl's spiritual root attributes, and the sudden proposal of marriage this time is probably aimed at her."

The man in white sitting beside the table nodded in agreement, "You're right, it should be so."

"If we insist on not marrying that girl to the Jin family, I'm afraid it will anger the old city owner Jin.

Although I successfully broke through to the middle stage of foundation establishment a few days ago, even so, you and I will not be the opponent of the old city lord Jin in the late stage of foundation establishment.

In addition, there are many casual cultivators raised in the city lord's mansion, many of whom are masters in the late stage of qi refining, but now there are very few of us Hu family's children who are as strong as they used to be.

Once the Jin family takes advantage of this to attack, it will be difficult for our Hu family to resist with our current strength. "Hu Weixian hesitated with a worried look on his face.

Only then did Hu Yuyuan turn his face around, and said with a slight smile, "My Hu family is indeed weak now, but what if my Hu family also has late-stage foundation-building monks?"

Hu Weixian was startled when he heard the words, and then he said in surprise, "The late stage of foundation establishment? Could it be you, father?"

Hu Yuyuan waved his hand, and said in a calm tone, "Tomorrow I will go into seclusion. This time, it will take half a month at most, and seven or eight days at least. I will be able to successfully break through the late stage of foundation establishment."

"Is father sure?" Hu Weixian pondered.

"Now that I have practiced to the peak of the middle stage of foundation establishment, and with the help of the Nayuan Pill left by your grandfather Lan, the success rate of this attack on the late stage of foundation establishment is not [-]%, but there are still [-]% to [-]%." Hu Yuyuan Said calmly.

Hu Weixian nodded slightly with a smile on his face, and didn't ask any more questions. He knew his father's temper very well. Since his father said that he was [-] to [-]% sure, then this breakthrough was almost a certainty.
