Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 307: Two Families Fight for a Daughter
When Yuan Jin saw that He Wanying had violated the curfew that Kang Dabao had set for her and was playing chess here, he looked a little surprised.

The number one weapon master of Chongming Sect walked into the courtyard, slowly approached the chessboard, and took a quick look at it. It was not as he expected.

The great master Kang, who had always been invincible in the game of chess in the Chongming Sect, was defeated by He Wanying, who was playing with black pieces.

The game had only reached the middle stage, but even Kang Dabao, a poor chess player, could see that the situation was almost irreversible, so he had no choice but to put on a stern face and admit defeat.

"I won't play anymore. I'm not in a good mood today." The head of the Kangda sect, who was always trying to win, was suddenly humiliated. He was in a bad mood and was so angry that he messed up the chess pieces and looked very unhappy.

He Wanying, however, showed the demeanor of a great general, and slowly gathered all the chess pieces together before speaking slowly, "Brother is the same as my father, both of them can't stand losing. You deserve to be treated like his own son."

"Hmph, let's make a deal in advance. There's no set prize for this round. So if you win, you win, but don't expect to make anything from me." Kang Dabao could tell that He Wanying was hinting at something, so he didn't fall into her trap and spoke directly.

"My husband." He Wanying had just opened her mouth when the eyes of the head of Kangda turned over, as sharp as a knife.

"Junior sister, I heard that Feng Wan went to Jin County alone, so please let me go and take a look." He Wanying's eyes became wet and her tone softened instantly.

Kang Dabao raised his eyebrows after hearing this and said in a deep voice: "He is fine, you don't have to worry. You should practice well in the sect first. It has been a long time since you stopped at the fourth level of Qi training. Aren't you in a hurry at all? You should put more energy on yourself, right?!"

"Then when I break through, can I go to see Feng Wan?" He Wanying seemed to be grasping at a life-saving straw.

Yuan Jin secretly said that it was not good, but he saw that the head of Kang Dabao was so angry that his teeth itched, and he was sweating for He Wanying in his heart. But although Kang Dabao was angry, he still nodded and said, "Well, when you break through, I will send someone to take you there."

"Junior sister, I'll go right away!" The frost on He Wanying's face melted away instantly. A look of joy appeared on her face. She ran out of the courtyard of Master Kang without looking back and went back to practice.

"Tsk, how could you have seen that my junior sister was so worthless when we were little?!" Kang Dabao felt sympathetic, but seeing this, his impression of Feng Wan became much better.

Sect Leader Kang thought to himself, "He is a man who values ​​friendship. It's amazing that he has been able to resist selling my stupid sister for spirit stones for so many years."

Yuan Jin saw that Kang Dabao didn't say anything, and his face trembled when he saw the mess on the table.

While Kang Dabao was still in shock, Yuan Jin calmly put away the chessboard, put all the chess pieces into the box, and sealed it tightly before asking, "Big Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The head of Kangda was stunned by the question and whispered, "Tsk, what happened?"

After a few breaths, he slapped his head and said, "Oh, that stupid girl disturbed me so much that I almost forgot what I was doing. Here, this is the "Non-Form Heart Sutra" I asked for from the Bushe Changshi. It contains the annotations and hard work of many predecessors of Bushe Changshi's lineage. It is very precious.

The chief scholar Bushe told me that this is the best Buddhist scripture provided by Xinyuan Hall of the original Buddhist temple for monks to cultivate their minds. Even many great Buddhist masters recite it from time to time. Take it back and study it carefully. I will test you in the future. If you dare to cheat me, you will know how serious it will be. "

Yuan Jin couldn't help showing joy when he heard this. He had been worried that the Calming Mantra would not work, but now it was like a pillow for his sleepiness.

Kang Dabao found his expression strange and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you hate chanting Buddhist scriptures in the past?"

"Junior brother is happy about senior brother's care and concern." Yuan Jin's heart was beating fast, but he said obediently.

"Humph, that's nice to hear." The nice words at this time were very pleasing to the ear. Master Kang's doubts were gone, and he nodded complacently, and then said:
"Now you really owe the favor to Bushe Changshi, and you will have to pay it back sooner or later. You must work hard and build your foundation as soon as possible."

There was no one else in the courtyard at this time, and Kang Dabao whispered again: "I have prepared the foundation-building pills for you. If you dare not do your best, I will beat you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Jin seemed to hear the sound of a teacher's whip suddenly explode in his ears, and he felt an involuntary tingling sensation on his back.

Chongming Sect's number one weapon master was frightened by these words and had a bitter look on his face. He only replied in a low voice: "Junior brother, I understand. Senior brother, there is no need to say it so bluntly."

Kang Dabao saw Yuan Jin carefully put away the jade slip, and nodded with a little satisfaction, and said, "It's good that you know."

There have been a lot of things going on recently and the two brothers haven't seen each other for some time. Just as they were about to chat, Sun Fu, who was on duty in front of the formation, sent a message with a talisman. Master Kang glanced at it, frowned, and walked out of the courtyard.

Yuan Jin saw his senior brother's expression suddenly turn bad. Although he was a little confused, he followed closely behind him.

A cloud of gas rose under the feet of the Kangda Sect Leader, carrying the two of them into the meeting hall. The guests from Sun Fuxin, and the uncle and nephew Shan Sheng and Shan Xuerong had been personally ushered in by Zhou Yixiu.

Shan Xuerong's eyes were red, obviously she had been crying. Zhou Yixiu's face was full of pain, but the outsiders in the room did not need to feel sorry for her, but instead felt that she looked more colorful.

Shan Sheng looked haggard, and it was obvious that he was exhausted by the troubles, which surprised Master Kang.

Each one performed the greetings, the host and the guest took their seats, a pretty maid served tea, and a boy accompanied them.

After Mo'er and Jin Shilun got married, for a long time the reception of guests was done by mortal maids offered by Chongming City.

It was Fei Shuhe who saw this and felt that this was somewhat of a loss of face for the Chongming Sect, a major foundation-building sect, so he selected some well-behaved, smart, and pretty servants from the Qinghan Courtyard to serve.

Shan Sheng had a lot of things on his mind, so he didn't care how respectable this maid from a wealthy family was. But before he could speak, Kang Dabao, who was sitting at the top, spoke first and asked suspiciously, "Is the head of the Shan family here to return the betrothal gift this time?"

Sect Leader Kang spoke directly and without any concealment, which seemed to mean that he intended to sever ties with the Feiyue Shan family on the spot.

Everyone in the room could naturally hear that the former was really angry, and his question was a bit sharp, which was completely unlike Kang Dabao's past style of being kind to others.

Shan Xuerong's eyes welled up with tears when she heard this. Zhou Yixiu wanted to comfort her, but Sect Leader Kang couldn't bear to see him looking so worthless, so he winked at Yuan Jin.

The two have been brothers for decades. The latter understood instantly and took a few steps over to pull Zhou Yixiu and sit down far away from Shan Xuerong, leaving the young woman standing alone in the hall.

Shan Sheng was so embarrassed that he coughed a few times, stood up and replied, "I am not sensible, I missed my parents, so I stayed at home for a few more days. I didn't expect that I would cause Sect Leader Kang to misunderstand me."

"Well, in that case, it is Kang's fault. I hope Master Shan will forgive me for this." Master Kang picked it up and used it. As soon as the words came out, Shan Sheng's face turned red.

Just as these teasing words fell, Kang Dabao, who was sitting at the head of the table, finally tore off his dignity completely, pointed his spear and shouted: "Master Shan, Kang knows that your family is a long-standing, large and kind family, and the eldest daughter of this family is naturally proud.

But the head of the Shan family must also know that this marriage was not obtained by Kang for his junior brother, but was first proposed by your family! Some things are intolerable once, but if they happen again and again, it will be disrespectful to the dignity of the two families!"

When Master Kang was speaking, he clearly didn't even look at Shan Xuerong, but the latter trembled at his shouting.

The wrath of the foundation should not be underestimated.

Kang Dabao has been in charge of the family for many years and has also been involved in military affairs. Normally, he would not show off his abilities, but when he suddenly gets angry, it can be very scary.

Shan Sheng has been making many friends for the sake of his clan over the years, and he is also very familiar with being humble and modest. He doesn't know how much ridicule he has endured, but his mental state has improved a lot.

Even though Kang Dabao pointed at him and scolded him, the head of the Shan family did not show any anger. However, he also knew that at this moment, no matter how proud he was, it was not as important as getting the spiritual object to build the foundation and prolong the life of the family.

The anger of Kang Dazhang also burned Shan Sheng's disguise to pieces. He no longer pretended to be confused. He first briefly explained the matter of Shan Xuerong's ex-husband coming. After seeing Kang Dabao's expression eased a little, he said in a deep voice:
"Master Kang, rest assured. No matter how powerful that late-stage foundation-building cultivator is, the Shan family will never do anything like breaking off the engagement. Shan Sheng can promise here that this matter will end here, without a second thought!"

Kang Dabao whispered: "Late stage of foundation building?"

Then he thought about it and realized that with the current strength of Chongming Sect, there was no need to be afraid. However, whether to offend such a person for a female cultivator was worth serious consideration.
"You can't be soft! In this world, if you dare to be soft, you will be shown as cowardly, you will be bullied, and you will face countless jackals, tigers, leopards, evil spirits and monsters!" Master Kang suddenly came to his senses, raised his eyebrows, and his pair of small eyes were bright and sharp.

He didn't look at Shan Sheng first, but only cast his gaze on Shan Xuerong, and said in a deep voice: "Don't force it, Master Shan, it's not too late to regret now. If you go back on your words again, I'm afraid it will harm the friendship between our two families."

It sounded like the Master Kang was warning Shan Sheng, but when he spoke, he was staring at Shan Xuerong, and every word he said seemed to make the graceful young woman's body go limp and almost lose her footing.

"Master Kang, you are too serious. It was just a misunderstanding in the first place. How can you say you want to 'go back on your word'?" Shan Sheng acted as if he didn't understand and no one else in the room wanted to ruin the situation, so the matter was settled.

Kang Dabao made a gesture to Zhou Yixiu, who then took Shan Xuerong away. The young woman had tears in her eyes and looked very pitiful.

But there was nothing that could be done about it, as he was the direct descendant of the Shan family and had been blessed with luxury and good food since childhood.

Now that the family is in trouble, sacrificing oneself to contribute to the family is a matter of course, and this makes sense everywhere. It is not possible for you to have all the good things in the world, and not to have any bad things.

Even if someone wanted to blame someone, it couldn't be blamed on the head of the Kang sect. Shan Sheng, who fawned on the powerful, and Zhou Yixiu, who was seduced by beauty, were both worthy of hatred. In the end, the one who deserved the most hatred was Shan Xuerong herself.

This little bit of romance, after all, is just a matter of face, and is just a small matter between the two families. If it weren't for the fact that Master Kang was too protective of his son, the weight of this matter would not be enough to make the leaders of the two families discuss it for so long.

Even if it involves the late foundation building cultivator who appeared out of nowhere, it is not worth it.

Shan Sheng was an experienced warrior, and although he was anxious, he was able to hold it in. Even when the head of Kangda talked to him, he was slow to respond to his words and get to the point, without showing any clues on his face.

But Kang Dabao was now sure of victory and in control of the initiative. His skills in cultivating his Qi were not necessarily much worse than Shan Sheng's, so he had not spoken yet.

After talking about a lot of irrelevant gossip and unclear discussions, Shan Sheng, who still had something to ask for, couldn't keep his temper. He frowned and asked directly, "I wonder if the matter that Shan and Sect Leader Kang discussed before has been finalized by Sect Leader Kang now?"

"Okay, let's leave it at that. To be honest with the Shan family leader, I have several fellow disciples in Chongming Sect who are in urgent need of building their foundations." The head of the Kang family paused, pointed at Yuan Jin who was standing beside him, and said in a calm voice:
"For example, my second junior brother, because his foundation has not been polished to perfection, the quota of spiritual objects for foundation building this time did not fall on him."

As soon as Kang Dabao finished speaking, Shan Sheng looked in the direction of his finger. With a glance, he saw Yuan Jin's strong spiritual power and abundant blood and qi, and was shocked:
"This Yuan Jin's foundation is much better than several of my family's foundation-building seeds. In Chongming Sect, he doesn't even have a chance to get a foundation-building spiritual object?"

After a moment's thought, Shan Sheng could tell something was wrong.

Not to mention that the Chongming Sect has a small population and there are only a few disciples with names and surnames. Among them, how many are stronger than Yuan Jin? This matter cannot be hidden from anyone.

"I'm afraid that nine out of ten are false and one is true. Kang Dabao told me all this just to ambush me. However, there are people in Chongming Sect who are preparing and have even started to retreat and build their foundation."

Shan Sheng changed his mind and realized that it was the head of Kangda who was deliberately using his strength to suppress him in order to raise the price and make all the profits from the Shan family.

Three years is really too short a time. If the foundation-building spiritual objects were not in such short supply, even large businesses like the Wanbao Commercial Bank in the capital of Shannan Road would have sold out of such goods. As a result, Chongming Sect has become the Shan family's easiest channel to buy foundation-building spiritual objects on credit, so Shan Sheng does not need to be so anxious.

As a result, although the head of the Shan family had already seen through the intentions of the head of the Kang family, he could only compromise and pretend to have fallen into his trap.

Shan Sheng made a pitiful expression and said in a hoarse voice: "Please, Master Kang, please consider your family's elders and the friendship between our two families."

Kang Dabao just smiled, and it was hard for him to feel any sympathy. The cultivation world has always been full of intrigues and the law of the jungle. If they were in each other's shoes, Kang Dazhang would not believe that Shan Sheng would be more kind-hearted than himself.

He thought to himself, "This old cultivator really put on a good show," but after a while, Sect Leader Kang remembered that when they joined forces with the Ma family to attack the stronghold, they suffered a small setback in the initial battle, and that old fellow Shan Sheng had summoned his relatives and descendants to help.

Although subsequent progress was smooth, even when Mijiazhai was attacked and destroyed, the cultivators of the Shan family had not yet arrived at the battlefield, so there was no question of any damage.

But this favor was actually earned by Dan Sheng. Master Kang was a respectable man, and thinking of this, he felt it was not appropriate to make things difficult for him.

In addition, although Shan Xuerong did not understand the overall situation, the marriage relationship between the two families was confirmed, so it would not be good to make things too ugly.

After rubbing his fingers behind his back and hidden in his sleeves for a long time, Kang Dabao finally spoke:
"Brother Shan, our two families are in-laws after all, so we should help each other. Brother, you care about the future of your blood relatives, and I, Kang, can relate to your love for your children. So, for the sake of our friendship, I will lend you a spiritual item for building the foundation.

However, according to what you and I said before, if the Shan family cannot return both shares within the next sixty years, then they will have to hand over the clan land to my family."

After hearing this, Shan Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Sect Leader Kang!"

Yuan Jin brought over two pieces of written spiritual silk. Kang and Shan looked at them one by one. After confirming that there were no problems, they each left their spiritual marks. Finally, Sect Leader Kang took out the county magistrate's official seal and used the seal one by one.

At this time, a file was created in the archives department of the Pingrong County Temple. If there were any disputes between the two families in the future, the file could be used as evidence.

Of course, it all comes down to fists. If the Shan family's children are determined and come up with a golden elixir cultivator within sixty years, Master Kang would not have the courage to ask for it.

After Shan Sheng carefully put the "Five-Pattern Heavy Mountain Stone" handed to him by Kang Dabao into the most important part of the storage bag, he became visibly more energetic, and even the few strands of white hair on his temples seemed to have a greenish feel.

He bowed and said, "I am busy with family affairs and cannot stay for long. I would like to thank Master Kang for his support! If the descendants of the Shan family succeed in building a foundation in the future, I will definitely bring my younger generation to thank you if I am still alive."

The head of Kangda was moved. After seeing this scene, his prejudices had been dispelled. Without saying anything more, he bowed and said goodbye.

Yuan Jin took on the job of leading the way and took Shan Sheng out of the Chongming Sect's formation.

The two of them had just walked to the archway. Shan Sheng was anxious and only wanted to say a few more polite words, so he hurried back to the clan with the spiritual object in his pocket. Yuan Jin was also thinking about continuing the conversation that had not yet started with the head of the Kang family after returning, so he had no intention of talking to Shan Sheng more.

The two were about to say goodbye when a Foundation Establishment cultivator, wrapped entirely in a black robe with only two black eyes without whites showing, came down from the clouds carrying a sturdy and handsome man and landed heavily under the Chongming Sect archway.

"Who is it?!" Yuan Jin was shocked. The Golden-Winged Owl who was patrolling the surroundings did not give any warning. This showed that the black-robed cultivator was very capable and was definitely not an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.

Shan Sheng thought something was wrong when he saw the handsome man. Before he could ask any questions, the latter spoke first and asked sternly, "Shan Sheng, return my wife and children to me, Bian Yu!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gloomy-faced Master Kang and Nanny Sun, who was holding a dove-shaped staff, walked out of the Six-Star Gangyan Formation together.

"A challenge at the last minute? Are you looking for death?!"
