Gou Dao Changsheng: Starting from the Reincarnation of a Demon Cultivator

Chapter 76: Their Own Plans
Fang Yi looked towards Hongqiao.

Colorful clouds roll beside the Rainbow Bridge.

Dozens of young men dressed up as boys and girls, with happy expressions on their faces, holding wedding lanterns or flower baskets, stood on both sides of the Rainbow Bridge.

Li Qingsong was wearing a bright red wedding gown, and standing next to him was a slightly plump female cultivator wearing a golden crown.

Accompanied by the ringing of ancient bells.

The two of them each held the two ends of the red silk and walked slowly from the Rainbow Bridge.

But the wedding gown of the female cultivator was embroidered with a picture of a golden phoenix suppressing a dragon, while Li Qingsong's wedding gown was embellished with an image of a flying phoenix.

As the two moved forward, dozens of quasi-first-level birds that were painted with special gold powder flew between the two ends of the rainbow bridge, emitting bursts of long and distant calls.

Joyful music rang out in the small courtyard, and the boys and girls on both sides of the Rainbow Bridge were well prepared.

At the right time, he threw the spiritual fruits and spiritual cakes in the brocade bag mixed with some spiritual stones from the Rainbow Bridge, attracting the monks in the outer courtyard to scramble for them.

Looking at Li Qingsong's surprised face, he seemed a little at a loss.

Fang Yi understood that the Zhou family of Duobao Pavilion must not have told him about the layout of the inner courtyard, which is why Li Qingsong was so surprised.

Thinking about the rumors in the outer courtyard that were belittling him, and then comparing it with the situation in the inner courtyard, Fang Yi couldn't help but sigh.

‘Good trick! ’

None of these foundation-building families that have been passed down for hundreds of years are simple.

First, let the outside world's rumors suppress him, and then use the current grand scene to appease him and give Li Qingsong enough face.

External suppression and self-comfort...

Self-comfort, external suppression...

This happened several times, so naturally Li Qingsong felt grateful.

The Zhou family of Duobao Pavilion does not need any special guidance. They just need to spread the news after the monk agrees to marry into the family. People are jealous.

Everything that happened after that was a natural progression.

Fang Yi knew that Li Qingsong had already joined the game, and was just waiting for the birth of an offspring in the future, so that he would have a complete weakness to worry about. At that time, he would be a true cultivator of the Zhou family.

As for the position of the chief manager of Yunzefang Duobao Pavilion given by the Zhou family, he devoted himself to the Zhou family and would eventually return to the Zhou family.

Unless Li Qingsong can break through the foundation-building stage, everything he strives for and desires now will be eaten up by the Zhou family.

After all, his future descendants all have the surname Zhou, and they all grew up in the Zhou family's private school since childhood, and they all became Zhou family monks when they grew up.

Cut the meat with a soft knife and boil the frog in water.

This is also the fate of most monks who marry into other families.

As for breaking through the foundation-building stage?
Some cultivators who can build their own foundation will marry into the wife's family.

……

After Li Qingsong and the other man paid their respects to Zhou Yuying's parents, they changed into auspicious attire and began to entertain the guests in the courtyard.

Fang Yi saw Li Qingsong and his wife coming to a jade table.

This jade table is obviously much better than the wooden table where Fang Yi and others sat.

Fang Yi knew Li Qingsong's status in the Zhou family.

At the jade table.

Zhou Yuying took Li Qingsong with her and offered a glass of wine to the monk who was wearing a green bamboo robe and had a mustache.

She introduced to Li Qingsong the most important connections and elders outside her clan.

"Niece meets Uncle Wei!"

"Qingsong, this is Uncle Wei Guan from the Wei family of Jinxiu Tower in the sect."

"The best weaver in the Wei family is weaving spiritual brocade. He has already reached the eighth level of Qi training and has the potential to reach the foundation-building stage in the future..."

Li Qingsong raised the jade cup in his hand, bowed slightly, and spoke respectfully.

"Meet Uncle Wei..."

"Um……"

Wei Guan took a sip of the wine, which only wet his lips, and then responded to Li Qingsong faintly, obviously looking down on this son-in-law.

Then he turned to Zhou Yuying and spoke in a much more enthusiastic tone.

"Yuying, our two families have been friends for generations. Now that you've married Wailang, you should live a good life..."

Then he took out a piece of first-grade spiritual brocade and handed it to Zhou Yuying.

"This piece of spiritual brocade is a gift from your uncle. I don't have much, so please don't be too disgusted..."

Wei Guan looked at Zhou Yuying's father, they looked at each other, and Wei Guan nodded slightly.

"By the way, this talented man is called Li Qingsong, right?"

"Since you've married into the Zhou family, you should behave yourself, take good care of your wife and children. The position of shopkeeper of Yunzefang Duobao Pavilion will naturally be yours..."

When Li Qingsong heard the words of keeping a low profile, taking care of his wife and educating his children, his face froze and his hands clenched slightly, with veins bulging faintly.

Then he finally had some concerns and took a breath.

He replied in a stiff tone.

"Yes, thank you Uncle Wei for your teachings. I understand..."

After Li Qingsong answered with a stiff face, Zhou Yuying gently pulled him to the next table to toast.

Seeing the two men leave, Wei Guan didn't care. It was just that the Wei and Zhou families were helping each other to punish the son-in-law.

He glanced at the lobby and saw that most of the people there were acquaintances he interacted with on a daily basis.

"Ok?"

Wei Guan's gaze paused slightly on a wooden table in a corner.

After confirming it again and again, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

'He's actually a good friend of Zhou Yuying's son-in-law?'

"I have searched high and low for something, but I never expected to find such an unexpected reward."

And Fan Dacheng also discovered Wei Guan.

His face froze and he seemed to want to leave.

But he glanced at Fang Yi beside him, his eyes flickered for a few times before becoming firm, but in the end he did not make any other moves...

Li Qingsong followed Zhou Yuying, walked past many wine tables, and met many "elders".

The commands given by these Zhou family elders were surprisingly consistent.

"…Face the facts…"

"…taking care of one's wife and raising children…"

"…Marrying into the Zhou family…"

Although he received more and more spiritual objects, Li Qingsong felt that these gifts were like a huge stone pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He earned a lot of spirit stones, but there was no trace of joy on his face.

Although I was mentally prepared, the pressure I am under now is beyond my limit.

Seeing Li Qingsong's unhappy expression, Zhou Yuying recalled her mother's teachings from a few days ago.

"Yuying, men often don't cherish what they get easily. Tomorrow, according to custom, your clan will give your husband a warning. You should seize the opportunity and help him in need. After a few more times, your husband will be completely devoted to you."

"Your father was also a son-in-law of the family, and he was quite arrogant. Now he has been completely subdued by me, your mother."

Zhou Yuying knew that the time was right, so she stretched out her warm hand, gently held Li Qingsong's, and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Husband, I've almost seen enough of your elders. How about we go meet your friends?"

Li Qingsong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

There are more than ten good friends of the Zhou family in this courtyard, and Zhou Yuying obviously did this for her own benefit.

"Thank you for your care, my lady. Then you and I will go meet some of my husband's friends."

"They are not ordinary people."

"Qingsong, you and I are husband and wife, how can you say I'm taking care of you? If you continue to be so distant, I'll be angry..."

Zhou Yuying covered her mouth with her hands, smiled, and nodded slightly, knowing that her goal had been achieved.

He knew that he only had low-grade spiritual roots after all.

Even with the help of his family, his cultivation has just reached the third level of Qi training.

Although her husband is plain-looking, he does have the talent of a mid-grade spiritual root and has now reached the fifth level of Qi training.

If he was not a cultivator in Duobao Pavilion, who had not mastered the hundreds of arts of cultivation and was not good at fighting... his future depended on the Zhou family, he might not be willing to marry into his family.

As a direct disciple of the Zhou family of Duobao Pavilion, Zhou Yuying is also taught by her mother.

Naturally, they know the difference between family interests and their own interests.

Although this family can bring benefits, the person by my side in the future can also be relied upon.

You need to grasp the right degree of this.

Moreover, if he could control Li Qingsong and make him loyal to him, his family would also be happy to see it happen.

……

I saw Zhou Yuying holding Li Qingsong's hand and coming to this table.

Fang Yi felt a little confused.

After hundreds of years of cultivation in past and present lives, this was the first time she had served as someone's "family member" and supported them.

Li Qingsong walked up to Fang Yi, forced a smile on his face, toasted him with a glass of wine, and spoke.

"Thank you, Brother Fang, for traveling all the way to Xiaoxuan Peak to attend my wedding with Yuying. I apologize for my inadequate hospitality..."

"I'll drink first as a sign of respect!"

Without waiting for Fang Yi to answer, Li Qingsong waved his sleeves and drank another glass of spirit wine.

Seeing Li Qingsong's distressed face, Fang Yi took out a soul-sealing box with a faint spiritual light from his arms.

Then he handed the jade box to Li Qingsong.

"Fellow Daoist Qingsong is very happy with his wedding, but he has nothing of value except this puppetry skill.

Inside this Spirit Sealing Box is a first-grade, mid-grade Blue Wolf Puppet. I just refined this puppet a few days ago. Fellow Daoist Qingsong, please don’t despise it…”

"A first-grade, mid-grade puppet?"

"First-class mid-level puppeteer!"

Hearing what Fang Yi said, Zhou Yuying's eyes lit up and she asked with a hint of urgency in her tone.

"Husband, is this Brother Fang Dao a first-level mid-grade puppeteer?"

Seeing the surprise in Zhou Yuying's eyes, Li Qingsong felt his back straighten a little.

He introduced it with a hint of pride.

"Brother Fang and I entered Xuanyang Mountain together. We are close friends. How could I possibly deceive you?"

Zhou Yuying's tone softened a bit.

"I, of course, believe in my husband. I was just a little surprised for a moment."

The joy in Zhou Yuying's eyes became even stronger.

She had never imagined that her husband, who had an ordinary appearance, had such a network of connections!

From Zhou Yuying's perspective.

Fang Yi demonstrated her cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi training and joined Xuanyang Mountain at the same time as her husband.

Based on this calculation, the age of the monk in front of him must be no more than 35 years old.

Now that I have this level of cultivation, plus the skills of refining puppets to earn spirit stones, I can supplement my cultivation. In the future, I will have a chance to build a foundation for the Dao.
This is a foundation-building cultivator with a lifespan of four decades. Once he establishes his foundation, he will be completely different from a Qi-cultivating cultivator.

A foundation-building cultivator can establish a family like the Zhou family of Duobao Pavilion. Although there is a difference in foundation, they are already at the same level.

Therefore, even if Fang Yi only has a 30% chance, it is enough to gain Zhou Yuying's respect.

What's more, judging from her current cultivation level and puppet-making skills, this friend of my husband's is comparable to a high-level Qi-training cultivator.

Although Zhou Yuying is a direct descendant of the Zhou family, her aptitude for cultivation is average.

But the highest level of cultivators that can be seen in the Zhou family is only at the high level of Qi training.
