Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 193 Contract
Taking advantage of Xu Mu's fight with Shang Yaoyao, Luo Qingchen sneaked out through the back door and quickly returned to her small courtyard.

Cast a spell to clean the yard, just took a breath, and was about to check his own cultivation, when there was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Senior Sister, are you back?"

Li Heng's voice came from outside the courtyard.

His yard is next to Luo Qingchen, so he probably came to check when he heard the movement.

The door opened, revealing Luo Qingchen's face that he hadn't seen for a long time, and a look of surprise appeared on Li Heng's face.

"Senior sister, really, where have you been during this time? Why have you been there for so long? How is the master?!"

When Li Heng came up, he asked a lot of questions.

"This one……"

Luo Qingchen didn't know how to explain it for a moment, she had been in Xu Mu's room all this time, and never went to see the master at all.

"I didn't find it, did I? I knew it!"

Li Heng sighed and made up all the content in advance.

"I didn't expect Master to do such a thing, but the matter has come to this point, there is no other way! Sister, do you have any plans in the future?"

"what?"

Li Heng's topic changed so quickly that Luo Qingchen didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while.

Li Heng didn't notice Luo Qingchen's abnormality, and said to himself: "It's okay to talk about the Qi training period. After the advanced foundation building period, the resources produced on the mountain alone are not enough for the two of us to practice. I decided to wait for the advanced stage." After establishing the foundation and strengthening the foundation, I will go down the mountain to practice, do you want to go together?"

Li Heng looked at Luo Qingchen with hopeful eyes.

Luo Qingchen's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately understood what Li Heng meant.

With Li Heng's talent, he could have gone to a better mountain, but he insisted on staying. Luo Qingchen naturally understood his intentions.

It's just that Luo Qingchen didn't say anything because of her complicated situation.

Now it is even more impossible to double cultivate with Xu Mu.

Li Heng has always been hiding it on purpose, this time it is estimated that she has been away for too long, and he finally made up his mind to show his heart.

But still very reserved.

Luo Qingchen hesitated and shook his head.

"Junior Brother, you can go by yourself, I still have to stay on the mountain to take care of Master."

Li Heng's expression immediately collapsed.

He didn't believe that Luo Qingchen couldn't understand the meaning of his words, this was obviously an excuse.

"Senior Sister, it's not that you don't know about Master's situation. Whether you are present or not has no effect on him. Don't tell me you want to give up your own cultivation for him. Isn't it enough to repay his kindness for so many years?"

Li Heng did not give up and wanted to continue persuading.

"Junior Brother, you should go back, I have my own plan! You are too old, you should find someone to start a family, and Junior Sister Lin from Wangjian Peak is good, don't let her down!"

After speaking, Luo Qingchen closed the door.

The last sentence almost made her mind clear.

Li Heng stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning, and left in a daze after a long time.

On the other side, Xu Mu followed Shang Yaoyao to the merchant's residence in Tianhe City, and met Shang Lian again.

"I heard from Yaoyao that you are willing to join our business, but I need to promise you a condition?"

Shang Lian waved his servants to push him down, leaving Xu Mu alone in the room.

"Not bad!"

Xu Mu nodded.

"What conditions?"

"I want to marry Senior Sister Shang!"

The corners of Shang Lian's eyes twitched, thinking that it was as expected.

Young people like to think about irrelevant things.

"You should know that I can't promise you!"

It is impossible for Shang Lian to offend the Cao family for the sake of Xu Mu. As for the happiness of his daughter, he is too lazy to care about it.

The love and hatred of young people are just impulses. After a long time and experience, they will naturally become sober.

"I know."

Xu Mu nodded, his expression didn't change much.

He didn't really like to trade medicines, but he just wanted to save some trouble by borrowing from the other party.

"Then what do you mean?" Shang Lian asked puzzled.

"We can change the way. I join the merchant, but Senior Sister Shang cannot get married within a hundred years. After I advance to Jindan, I will bring Senior Sister Shang to the door to withdraw the engagement in person!"

According to the information he has inquired over the years, his avatar has a high probability of falling out with the Tianhe Sect, because the Tianyi Shenshui he needs is related to the lifeline of the Tianhe Sect.

If there is a conflict between the two parties in time, it will be very troublesome to have a child and a wife, which is one of the reasons why he promised Luo Qingchen so readily.

But if you don't get married and don't be a door-to-door son-in-law, it will be difficult to gain the trust of big families and powerful forces, and it will be impossible to talk about resources.

So Xu Mu is going to use the name of commercial medicine, openly build plank roads to secretly store Chencang, and deceive the merchants.

"Aren't you kidding me?"

Shang Lian was shocked by Xu Mu's words.

Young people really do anything for love.

"If Uncle Shang doesn't believe it, I can sign the contract!"

What Xu Mu did was tantamount to submitting a certificate of nomination and giving Shang Lian the handle.

Shang Lian hesitated.

If Xu Mu can really advance to the Golden Core within a hundred years, even if he can't advance to the Nascent Soul in the future, then he will be a certainty in the later stage of the Golden Core. Coupled with his talent in magic, he may become an invincible existence in the Golden Core realm.

With this kind of potential and this kind of identity, it is really impossible for the Cao family to offend him for a woman.

The entire Tianhe Sect is only two Nascent Souls, and it is a question of whether the Tianhe Patriarch is still alive. In fact, the five big families together can't afford to provoke them.

The five great families sound powerful, but in fact they are just ordinary Golden Core forces, and the strongest Cao family is no match for the Liyang Sect, so how dare they provoke the upper echelons of the Tianhe Sect.

There is another reason. After a hundred years, it is a question of whether the two can still have feelings for each other. When the time comes, they may separate directly. There is no need to offend the Cao family and they can recruit a genius for nothing.

A hundred years is not a long time for them, and it is not a big problem to find a few reasons to shirk it.

"I can promise you! After all, I am also Yao Yao's father, so I naturally hope that she will be happy!" Shang Lian pretended to sigh.

"Thank you, Uncle Shang!"

Xu Mu also showed a hint of emotion in cooperation.

"Don't be too happy, I promise, but I have to write the contract!"

"can!"

Xu Mu readily agreed.

In the end, the two signed two contracts, one to deal with the outside world, and the other to be a private transaction, which can be used to restrict each other.

With these two contracts, unless Xu Mu doesn't want to hang out in the Tianhezong area, he will be driven by the merchant.

It's not that the merchants are harsh. No matter which faction Xu Mu joins, it's the same situation. It is impossible for any force to just invest and not return.

After his cultivation reaches a certain level, Xu Mu must perform the tasks of the merchant.

But Xu Mu naturally has his own way to deal with it, and he will not need to pay with his life like ordinary practitioners.

"You should also take this opportunity to show off your talents in other areas!"

Joining a merchant is just to deceive others, he can't really rely on the other party, it's too slow to advance like that.

After signing the contract, Xu Mu bid farewell and left.

"Father, what did you say? You didn't bully him, did you?"

As soon as Xu Mu left, Shang Yaoyao came over to inquire about the situation.

"Hasn't he discussed it with you?" Shang Lian asked in surprise.

"Discuss what?"

"..."

Could it be this bastard's wishful thinking?
