Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 101, The Meng Family Arrives

On this day, outside Tiandou City, a shadow blocked out the sunlight, making the surroundings suddenly dark.

The soldiers guarding the city gate looked up and saw an oval-shaped object, about twenty or thirty meters long, floating in the air. It looked like a boat, with a cute rabbit pattern on its surface.

What is this?

The guards had never seen such an object before.

Upon hearing the sound, Meng Bei and Ning Rongrong walked out of the city gate; they had been waiting there for quite some time.

Upon seeing the airship in the sky, Meng Bei already knew who it was.

Among the Meng family, only one person was fond of such elaborate displays.

Meng Bei shouted loudly:

"Uncle Meng Jian, please come down first!"

As the words fell, the airship slowly descended, but no one emerged from inside. Instead, a somewhat deep voice came from within:

"Xiao Bei, um, take us into the city first, and we'll get down when we find a secluded spot."

Meng Bei was puzzled by what his uncle was trying to say, but he did not object. Instead, he followed Meng Jian's instructions, first taking him into the city, and then bringing the airship to the small courtyard that had been specially arranged for them.

After arriving at the courtyard, Meng Jian asked Meng Bei to send Ning Rongrong out first. Only when Meng Bei was the only one left in the courtyard did the airship slowly descend.

Then a small opening appeared on the side of the airship, and a head squeezed out, followed by the body, which slowly pushed outwards.

Meng Bei stared at this scene in astonishment.

"Xiao Bei, what are you standing there for? Come and help!"

Meng Jian’s deep voice rang out, but because his lower body was still squeezed inside the airship, his voice sounded somewhat strange as he spoke.

Meng Bei quickly stepped forward to pull Meng Jian away.

He asked, puzzled:

"Uncle Meng Jian, I remember there's an automatic teleportation exit at the bottom of this airship's soul tool. How did you manage to crawl out from the side cannon muzzle?"

Meng Jian replied, "Xiao Bei, you don't know, last year during the beast tide, an Ice Jade Scorpion damaged the exit of my soul tool. Now it can only go in, not out. The only way to get out is through this ship's cannon!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Bei's lips twitched.

"Then why are you still using this airship? Couldn't you just bring a horse-drawn carriage?"

Meng Jian replied:

"What do you know? Before we came, the elders gave instructions: the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a powerful force. Our Meng family has formed a marriage alliance with them, and we absolutely cannot allow them to look down on us. Only this airship can demonstrate the prestige of our Meng family!"

As he spoke, Meng Jian exerted another burst of strength and squeezed one of his arms out of the cannon muzzle.

However, given his rather burly physique, having only one arm was hardly enough to help.

Meng Bei suppressed a laugh and reached out to pull Meng Jian away.

At the same time, Meng Bei called out, "Rongrong, come in quickly and help your uncle out."

Upon hearing this, Meng Jian hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong, who was outside the door, hurriedly came in.

Then I witnessed this utterly astonishing scene.

Meng Jian's face flushed red as he said:

"Get out, get out! This is a secret of the Meng family. Outsiders are not allowed to visit without permission. Get out now!"

Meng Bei forced a smile and said:

"Uncle Meng Jian, this is Rongrong. We'll be getting married soon, so she's practically an outsider."

Then, Meng Bei turned to Ning Rongrong and said:

"Rongrong, come and greet my uncle Meng Jian."

Ning Rongrong suppressed a laugh upon hearing this, stepped forward, and respectfully said, "Greetings, Uncle."

Ning Rongrong was initially a little nervous about meeting Meng Bei's family today, but after this incident, that nervousness has completely disappeared!

Meng Jian was so embarrassed that he almost crawled back into the airship. He had really lost face, but unfortunately, he was now in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward.

"The nine treasures transform into crystal, possessing two qualities: power and speed!"

Ultimately, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's auxiliary effect was more powerful, and with Ning Rongrong's help, Meng Jian successfully emerged from the airship.

Several people followed closely behind.

There were two others of Meng Bei's generation, but they were much older than Meng Jian.

There were also two other young men, one of whom was Meng Bei's cousin, named Meng Dong.

The other person Meng Bei didn't know. There are many people in the Meng clan, so it's normal for him to not know some of them.

After everyone came out, Meng Jian waved his hand, and the airship instantly transformed into a three-inch-long pendant, flying back into Meng Jian's arms.

It could be said that if the airship's exit hadn't been damaged, this move would have truly demonstrated the Meng family's magnanimity.

There are very few soul tools of this level across the entire continent.

Unfortunately, given the earlier scene of Meng Jian getting stuck, Ning Rongrong was mostly smiling, even though she was somewhat shocked.

Afterwards, Meng Bei led Meng Jian and the others to their respective rooms.

Perhaps because of the awkward situation just now, Meng Jian felt very uncomfortable whenever he looked at Ning Rongrong.

Meng Bei smiled and comforted him:

"Uncle, there's no need for that. Rongrong isn't an outsider; she even prepared a gift for you!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong quickly took out the gift.

Everyone received a portion; it wasn't particularly valuable, but it was a token of our goodwill.

The awkward atmosphere among Meng Jian and the others eased considerably.

Ning Rongrong then said to Meng Jian:

"Uncle, there is a gentleman in our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who is fond of studying soul tools. He might be able to help you fix the problem with the soul tool you just mentioned."

Upon hearing this, Meng Jian was overjoyed and said:

"Your clan has such a talented person; won't that be too much trouble?"

Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "Of course not, you're not an outsider."

In this way, the group quickly became acquainted.

Then Meng Jian asked Meng Bei a question that he was particularly concerned about.

"Um, Xiao Bei, when are we going to Sect Leader Ning's place?"

Meng Jian asked somewhat cautiously.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader Ning Fengzhi, Meng Jian, and others, and even the entire Meng clan, all attach great importance to this.

Logically, the in-laws of the man and woman should receive each other.

However, the current situation is that, on the one hand, the Meng family's power is indeed somewhat inferior to that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

On the other hand, Meng Bei's biological parents are dead, and Meng Jian is only a representative temporarily arranged by the Meng family. The real patriarch of the Meng family will not arrive until two months later when the wedding is about to begin.

Therefore, Meng Jian was still somewhat reserved about meeting Ning Fengzhi.

Meng Bei replied:

"Uncle Meng Jian, don't worry about this. Please settle in here first. Your father-in-law has some matters to attend to right now, but he will come to visit you in person this afternoon."

"Sect Leader Ning has come to visit me in person?"

Meng Jian seemed somewhat flattered.

Previously, after receiving the invitation, the Meng family generally believed that Meng Bei marrying Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was a step up for him.

Therefore, Meng Jian was prepared to be treated poorly before he came. He even brought his airship to save face, but he didn't expect that the reality would be different from what he imagined.

But Meng Jian quickly remembered that Ning Rongrong was still there, so he hurriedly suppressed his surprise and pretended to be calm, saying:

"Okay, sure!"
