Chapter 198 Losing both the wife and the army, borrowing seeds, seeking peace

Brother Fan doted on his sister Yaoyao very much. He took out a storage bag from his sleeve and said, "Here, this is the spiritual stone that mother just gave me."

Yaoyao glanced at it and curled her lips:

"These two hundred thousand spirit stones don't seem like a lot."

I lost interest instantly.

Turning around, he said:
"I'm going to go see my fourth and fifth brothers."

Brother Fan hurriedly called the man to stop.

With a strange blush on her face, she coughed lightly and quickly stuffed a delicate little box into the other person's hand: "Please pass this thing to Yu Lian for me."

Yaoyao blinked.

After realizing it, I almost jumped up:

"Brother, when did you get together with Sister Yulian? You are too much. You didn't even tell me a word. Humph, I don't want to be your errand boy."

"Yaoyao, keep your voice down."

Fan Ge'er hurriedly looked around and saw that no one was around. He breathed a sigh of relief and said flatteringly:

"My dear sister, you dare not say this to outsiders, especially in front of mother. It is me who has a one-sided love for Yu Lian. She has not expressed her feelings yet. You must not speak nonsense and ruin her reputation."

talking.

He handed a piece of array pattern stone to Yaoyao.

This was exactly what Yaoyao needed. She immediately smiled and saw that her elder brother was rarely nervous. She chuckled:
"Brother, I'm just teasing you. Don't worry, I will personally deliver this gift to Sister Yulian."

Yaoyao left with a smile.

First, he went to see the twins, and then turned to the spiritual medicine garden in the waterfall in the back mountain.

The spiritual fields here are planted with second-level spiritual flowers and herbs. After Cai Xiangu and Gan Shenglin got married, they built a small courtyard next to it and were responsible for taking care of the flowers and studying spiritual planting techniques together.

When Yaoyao came in.

Cai Xiangu and Gan Shenglin were casting a spiritual rain on Yun Linghua. Yaoyao looked over but did not see Yu Lian:

"Aunt Cai, where is Sister Yulian?"

“Inside the Room”

Fairy Cai raised her chin.

After thanking her, Yaoyao turned and went into Yulian's boudoir.

In her boudoir, Yu Lian was making a first-grade, top-quality robe.

Over the years, Yu Lian's congenital illness has been almost cured, and her cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi training.

At first, she followed Fairy Cai to learn the art of spiritual planting, but found that she had no talent in this area, so she turned to learn how to make robes from Yuwen Wei. Although she started late, she had a strong ability to comprehension, and in just ten years she was promoted to a first-class superior manufacturer.

After Yaoyao entered the room, she casually cast a spell on the magic circle in the room. With a humming sound, a magic circle light curtain suddenly emerged.

Fairy Cai, who was casting spiritual rain in the medicine field, looked at the scene with worry on her face and put away the spiritual spell in her hand.

Gan Shenglin saw this and said hurriedly:

"Madam, you are pregnant, so don't think too much."

The two have been married for many years.

Cai Xiangu finally got pregnant again, which made Gan Shenglin very happy. Naturally, he was worried that something might happen to Cai Xiangu.

When Yaoyao came in just now, Cai Xiangu noticed that she was holding a box with a lotus engraved on it.

By chance.

She met Fan Ge'er, who said he came in to look for Yaoyao, but he handed such a box to Yulian without telling her. Later, when her daughter went to the General Affairs Hall to deliver the robes, she went into her room and searched it, and found several identical lotus boxes.

Cai Xiangu worriedly said:

"Husband, do you think I should have a good talk with Yu Lian?"

Brother Fan will be in charge of the Fu family business in the future.

The person he wanted to marry was naturally a noble lady from a powerful family. Although her mother was a second-rank spiritual plant master, such an identity was obviously not enough for him to marry Fan Ge'er. Besides, Yu Lian was born with a disease.

The owner might not mind.

But the mistress will definitely not agree to this marriage.

Knowing that there will be no results, it is better to let my daughter face the reality in advance.

But when she thought about how her daughter had suffered since childhood, and how she had finally put a lot of smiles on her face during this period, she felt a little bit reluctant.

Gan Shenglin comforted him:

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. This is Yu Lian and the young patriarch's business. We should not interfere too much."

There was a pause.

Gan Shenglin glanced around and whispered to Cai Xiangu:

"During the last elders' council, the chief steward proposed to enthrone the crown prince, but I see that the patriarch has no intention of enthroning Fan Ge'er. I heard that the young patriarch's cultivation aptitude is not good enough, and now the mistress has given birth to a pair of twins. It is unclear who will inherit the position of the future patriarch, so Yu Lian is not necessarily unworthy of the young patriarch."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiangu's original intention to break up the couple suddenly relaxed.

same.

Fu Changren was as distressed as Cai Xiangu.

The Fu family made the Liang family give up 180,000 spirit stones in Wanning Market. The Manchus were all delighted, but Fu Changren could not laugh.

He and Liang Qianqian, the granddaughter of the eldest elder of the Liang family, were having a hot affair.

However, after the dispute over the shops in Wanning Market, the Liang family and the Fu family became hostile to each other, and his relationship with Liang Qianqian was doomed to end in failure.

Therefore.

For several months.

No matter what messages Liang Qianqian sent him, he never replied.

I'm feeling upset.

The jade talisman on the waist made a rapid buzzing sound, and a spell was cast, and Liang Qianqian's voice came out:

"I'm at the gate of your mountain. If you don't come out, I will wait for you forever."

this.
How come he came home?

As the chief steward of the clan, if Liang Qianqian really made a fuss, his prestige in front of the clan members would be greatly reduced. Fu Changren, who has been honest and upright for half his life, naturally does not want to lose his reputation in his later years.

His body dodged several times.

After leaving the mountain gate.

From a distance, he saw Liang Qianqian looking at him with red eyes, looking extremely aggrieved. Fu Changren softened his heart and walked quickly forward:
"Qianqian, can we talk for a moment?"

Fu Changren decided to make things clear with Liang Qianqian today.

Liang Qianqian was the beloved granddaughter of the eldest elder of the Liang family. For her to fall in love with him was a blessing for him in his previous life. After all, the dispute over the shop had nothing to do with Liang Qianqian, and it was not her fault. He could not just leave it without an explanation.

Therefore.

After Fu Changren finished speaking, he led the way into Langmeng Mountain. When there was no one around, he took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"Qianqian, I'm sure you've understood the dispute over the shop in Wanning Market. It's impossible for the two of us to be together. You're a good girl, and you'll definitely be able to find a better Taoist partner than me in the future. Just treat me as a heartless man, forget about me, and live your life well. If we're destined to be together, we'll be together in the next life."

Upon hearing this, Liang Qianqian's tears, which she had been holding back for a long time, suddenly flowed down.

just.

Liang Qianqian's eyes were filled with reluctance, she gritted her teeth and said:

"I don't want the afterlife, I only want the present. I can betray the Liang family like Liu Meizhen did back then. As long as I can be with you, I am willing to pay any price."

"How can this be possible? You are the granddaughter of Elder Liang, and you have a bright future. If you betray the Liang family and follow me, you will definitely regret it in the future. I am different from the head of the family. I don't have that ability and can't give you everything you want!"

"Ren Lang, I just want to be with you. I don't need any wealth or glory. Ren Lang, really, I..."

"Qianqian, don't say anything more, let's just leave it at that and never see each other again."

Fu Changren didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that he would be soft-hearted again.

Liang Qianqian quickly chased after him.

The two men struggled for a while. In the end, even the nine-foot-tall man Fu Changren's eyes were red:
"Qianqian, just think that we are not meant to be together and that I am not worthy of you."

Liang Qianqian cried until her voice was hoarse. Seeing that Fu Changren still had no intention of giving in, she finally lowered her head and muttered something. Then she slapped her storage bag, and a flash of light appeared, and a wine gourd flashed out:

"This is a love wine. If you really want to break up with me, then drink it in front of me."

"it is good"

Fu Changren's outstretched hand trembled a bit, but he still tilted his head back and gulped down the drink. Then he wiped his mouth and was about to say something when he felt hot all over, his head buzzing, and he instantly became dazed.

Liang family.

The secret room in the back mountain.

The second elder Liang Zhitang, who was arrogant in front of outsiders, was like a child who had made a mistake. He stood awkwardly in front of the first elder Liang. Although they were brothers, there was a big age difference between them. The second elder Liang Zhitang could be said to have been raised by the first elder:

"Brother, calm down. This is the first time I've dealt with this little bitch Liu Meizhen. I didn't know she was an old acquaintance of Cao Xiang'er. Don't worry, I will make the Fu family pay back the 180,000 spirit stones with interest in the future."

Elder Liang rubbed his brows.

He looked at Liang Zhitang helplessly:
"Second brother, at this point, you still don't know where you went wrong?"

Liang Zhitang blinked.

Not sure why.

Elder Liang sighed:

"Do you know why I want to bring Qianqian and Fu Changren together?"

Bring this up.

Liang Zhitang was angry. Qianqian was the one he had watched grow up. She was no different from his granddaughter. He couldn't understand why his elder brother wanted to marry Qianqian to a useless person from the Fu family.

Now the Liang family and the Fu family are breaking up.

This marriage was dropped, which suited his heart even more, so he said with a sense of indifference:

"That loser Fu Changren is not worthy of our Qianqian. No matter what your reasons are, this marriage is off anyway."

Liang Zhitang looked as if he had done something good.

When Elder Liang saw this, even though he had a good temper, he said coldly:
"Second brother, you keep calling me trash, but do you know that Fu Changren, whose Dantian is completely destroyed, can now exert the strength of a mid-stage Qi training master? How do you think he did it?"

A little Qigong practitioner.

It was still a little Luo Luo whose dantian was destroyed.

Liang Zhitang naturally didn't care, but even though he was slow at this moment, he could still smell something and immediately straightened up: "Brother, do you mean that the Fu family has a technique that can be practiced without Dantian?"

If that is true.

Then the level of this technique must be very high.

Liang Zhitang immediately understood the intention of the elder Liang. Obviously, the elder brother wanted to use Qianqian to get close to Fu Changren so as to obtain this high-level martial arts technique from him.

However, judging from Fu Changren's performance, this technique is mediocre, so it is not necessary to sacrifice Qianqian to steal this secret:

"Brother, besides Fu Changren's cultivation method, does the Fu family have any other rare treasures?"

Seeing that his second brother had finally asked the main point, Elder Liang stroked his beard and said:
"Think about it. Back then, there were only four cultivators left in the Fu family, and the highest cultivation level was only the third level of Qi training. But now, only twenty-seven years have passed, and they have not only been promoted to a ninth-grade family, but with this rising momentum, it is only a matter of time before they are promoted to the eighth grade. The Fu family was lucky once, and it was also lucky twice, but they have been able to turn danger into safety one after another, which means there must be something fishy going on."

“Although Fu Changren’s cultivation is not high, he is the oldest among the four cultivators back then, and he is also an honest man. He currently holds the power of the steward of the Fu family’s land. With Qianqian’s sincerity, she will surely be able to impress him. By then, as long as she grasps the secret of the Fu family’s rise, then this huge opportunity will fall on our Liang family!”

"In order to make Qianqian gain Fu Changren's absolute trust, I didn't even reveal the reason for this marriage to Qianqian. I was afraid that Qianqian would reveal something and make Fu Changren wary."

Speaking of which.

Elder Liang glared at Liang Zhitang fiercely:

"I have only been in seclusion for a year. I never thought that when I came out, I would hear about the dispute over the shops in Wanning Market. The chess game that I had laid out with great difficulty has become useless in the blink of an eye because of your disturbance."

Liang Zhitang's neck shrank.

I never thought that my elder brother would play such a big game of chess.

but.

He still muttered softly:

"No matter how much you want the Fu family's secrets, you can't involve Qianqian in it. Qianqian lost both her parents when she was young, so she is very pitiful."

Liang Zhitang couldn't bear it.

While the two were talking.

Suddenly.

A faint sobbing sound was heard outside the door.

Elder Liang’s spiritual consciousness moved.

Standing outside the door was Liang Qianqian who had returned from Nanyang County. The Great Elder glared at Liang Zhitang fiercely and said through gritted teeth:
"Second brother, didn't you say Qianqian went to guard the Wuling Mountain mine?"

In their place.

Only the three of them had the formation tokens and could enter and exit freely. That was why he had not paid special attention to the surrounding environment just now, and had not even used the soundproofing technique.

Second Elder Liang Zhitang also saw with his spiritual sense that it was Liang Qianqian standing outside the door. His face turned pale and he muttered, "It's over, it's over this time!"

the other side.

The Great Elder showed an anxious look on his face, and he appeared outside the door with a flash of his body.

However, Liang Qianqian turned around very quickly and went back to her boudoir. She slammed the door shut and even activated the protective magic circle. No matter how the elder begged, the other party had no intention of opening the magic circle.

Liang Zhitang followed and looked at the closed magic circle with a look of uneasiness on his face:

"Brother, Qianqian won't be upset, right? Why don't we just break the formation by force?"

"What formation is there to break? Born and raised in an aristocratic family, one must be prepared to die for the family at any time. It's just asking her to be sincere. Compared with the ancestors who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, her sacrifice is nothing. If she can't bear this little setback, then there's no need for her to cultivate immortality. It's better for her to find an ordinary man to end her life with."

After Elder Liang finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and turned to leave.

Liang Zhitang looked around with a sad face. Not only did the clan lose 180,000 spirit stones this time, but now he was afraid that the granddaughter whom the two brothers had raised for twenty years would also become alienated from them.

Really true.
I lost my wife and lost my troops!
Liang Zhitang was worried about Liang Qianqian, so he accompanied her outside the formation and said soft words to her carefully. However, he was soon called by the tribe members to attend the elders' meeting.

In the meeting hall.

Following the great elder's coming out of retreat.

Except for those guarding important places, almost all the foundation-building elders of the Liang family have attended the meeting. Seeing that everyone was present, the great elder Liang coughed lightly and said:

"According to the news from the Eighth-Rank Nangong Family, the Canglan Secret Realm will be opened in two years. This time, our goal is not only the foundation-building spiritual medicine planted by our ancestors in the medicine garden, but the most important one is the Red Lotus Earth Core Fire. The Red Lotus Earth Core Fire is ranked 86th on the list of strange fires. Once we obtain this strange fire and refine it, it will be of great benefit to us in the upcoming beast tide battle."

“As long as we obtain the main medicine for foundation building in the Canglan Secret Realm, we will have a few more foundation builders in our clan. The condition for promotion to an eighth-grade family will only be 10,000 imperial merit points away. However, if the beast tide comes, as long as we work together, it will be no problem to obtain 10,000 merit points.”

"So in the next two years, each of you will practice in seclusion and strive to reach the highest combat power. At that time, the quota for entering the Canglan Secret Realm will be selected from the top six in the clan meeting competition."

"The Qilishan Demon Realm has already let the Fu family take the top spot. This time, it's our Liang family's chance to make a move. Do you understand?!"

"Yes, Great Elder!"

The elders of the Liang family responded loudly.

They are all full of vigor and confidence, and are obviously determined to win the championship in the upcoming journey to Canglan Secret Realm.

Except for the Liang family.

The heads of the Cao and He families met again because of the Canglan Secret Realm. This time, each of them had only one spot to enter the secret realm.

Although Patriarch He is young, he is a mature and stable person:
"Brother Cao, the Ping family has been destroyed, and the upper family Gongsun family has remained silent. Now I am afraid we can only rely on ourselves. Entering the secret realm is like entering the Qili Mountain Demon Realm. We just need to be safe. Our two families can no longer withstand any more trouble."

Patriarch Cao is seriously injured and has not recovered yet.

However, since it involved important matters of the clan, he was still worried about leaving it to the second and third elders, so he went out in person to discuss it with Clan Leader He. The ideas of the two families were surprisingly consistent.

After discussing for a while what to pay attention to when entering the Canglan Secret Realm.

Patriarch He changed the subject:
"Brother Cao, the Ping family is destroyed. If the Fu family's fiefdom expands further, it will reach the border between our two families and the Liang family. Although the Liang family has been tricked, the strength of the family is there. The Fu family will definitely not be able to move for a while. If the Fu family sets their sights on our two families, it will be bad."

This is also what Patriarch Cao is worried about.

after all.

The Fu family used a third-level forbidden-breaking bead when they broke through the Ping family's mountain protection formation. Who knows if the Fu family still has such a formation-breaking artifact.

After several contacts between Patriarch Cao and Patriarch He, they found that although the other party was young, he was very forward-looking in doing things. They had an idea:
"Brother He, you have a plan to deal with it."
