The Zhongfu became crowded with guests.
Representatives of various forces, friends who had friendships in the past, new casual cultivators in Qingyang, etc.
Part of the reason is that Zhong Mansion has Qifeng as its backing, which gradually spreads and has a strong background.
However, Yuan Ziyi maintained her "non-contact" persona as Yuan Zhiqing of the Fire Cloud Sect, and she never showed up again except the day she came back.
The bigger reason is Yuan Ziyi's status as 'Zhong Xi' - the most beautiful person in the world.
It has to be said that when something reaches its extreme, it is not surprising that it has any impact.
As soon as the Zhongfu recruitment notice for guest ministers was posted, thousands of people signed up, many of whom were in the foundation building realm, and they all came for Yuan Ziyi.
It's not that they covet him, most people are self-aware. It's just that they have a tendency to accumulate a group of fans just to see him more often.
As a result, Zhongfu suddenly became a star in the sky, and all parties were on good terms.
During this period, Zhong Yan and Yuan Ziyi received an invitation to a party. Zhong Yan made excuses to decline, and Yuan Ziyi went to the appointment alone. He mentioned in his words that "Senior Brother, a cultivator, is loyal" and went into seclusion to finish.
Needless to say, others will naturally think that it must be related to the excitement of the ugly appearance revealed in that fight.
Until a month later.
Zhong Yan's busy life gradually returned to daily leisure, and Yuan Ziyi also began to decline invitations.
A stormy night.
Zhong Yan hugged the beautiful Taoist couple and said softly to Yuan Ziyi, who didn't like socializing, "I've wronged you."
Yuan Ziyi rubbed her cheek against her chest and said with a smile: "Quan should make more friends. Only now do I understand why so many people like to be the center of attention. The feeling of being noticed is actually not bad."
Zhong Yan was dumbfounded: "So you are also vain."
Yuan Ziyi slapped him coquettishly and said, "This is not human nature~"
Zhong Yan continued: "What we are short of right now is time. We are still weak, so we can only use some tricks to seek stability through external forces. When we have the strength to fight against the top forces in the Yan Kingdom in the future, we will not have to do things against our will. "
Yuan Ziyi knew that her husband cared about her own feelings, so she stood up and said seriously: "I really don't think it's a big deal. I didn't interact with many people on the peak before, so I developed such a random temperament. Besides, didn't you say you should try to change it? "
Zhong Yan scratched his nose and said with a smile: "What I said, what your master said first, what does it have to do with me?"
Yuan Ziyi glanced angrily and leaned down.
The two were entangled again.
Ding~ It’s wonderful!
…
This day.
Zhong Yan held the strange skull obtained from Mangdang Mountain to study, and received a message from the girl Ye Xu - he had arrived at the junction of Wei and Wu, and the communication talisman was beyond the coverage area.
"Brother Yandao, you will come to me, right?"
The girl asked, and just by listening to the voice, one could imagine that the innocent and lovely girl looked embarrassed.
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "Definitely."
"Yeah! I'll be back when I have time..."
The girl smiled and said, "Look at the sea."
How can it be so easy to come back after traveling far away to practice?
Even if you take the teleportation array wherever there is one, the journey will take years.
After the interrogation was over, Zhong Yan was dazed for a moment. Ye Xu gave him a very special feeling. Thinking of his impulsive behavior when they parted, he felt that he owed a love debt for the first time in his heart.
At this time.
Yu Qingyao knocked on the door and came in, saying happily: "Husband, sister Youbai has also succeeded in building the foundation!"
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "Good thing!"
At this point, apart from him, there are six direct lineages in the mansion: Yuan Ziyi, Yu Qingyao, Wen Hong, Jiang Huan, Qin Ziyue, and Qin Youbai, which has become a fairly powerful family.
As for Yao Huilan, Su Yong's undercover agent, Zhong Yan still has reservations about her.
evening.
Everyone gathered together.
Zhong Yan went through the details of the mission, and finally said: "This trip to sea will be led by Huilan, and a monk and a warrior will be required to accompany us. For the sake of fairness, we will draw lots."
As a result, Qin Youbai, who is on the first level of foundation building, and Li Jiaxin, who is on the third level of innateness, were drawn.
Zhong Yan went to find Qi Xianzong's residence in person.
"If this trip goes well, I will give you a Foundation Building Pill when you return."
Qi Xianzong was an ordinary guest, and the agreement he signed did not fall into the category of 'sell-out contract'. Therefore, he had a certain right to make independent choices about his employer's tasks, and he could refuse to participate if it was dangerous.
But after hearing this, Qi Xianzong's eyes flashed: "Seriously?"
He has reached the stage of Qi refining and is only missing one foundation-building pill.
On the market, even the lowest level 'Wudao Pattern Foundation Building Pill' costs two thousand low-grade spiritual stones.
For casual cultivators, this is not a small amount of money. Many people are stuck at the peak of Qi refining their entire lives and cannot save so much.
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "Zhong is a person that fellow Taoists still don't understand?"
He also chose the other party after listening to the evaluation of the female cultivator in the mansion. He was down-to-earth and pragmatic, and had a firm heart in seeking the truth.
Qi Xianzong nodded and asked: "How many lines?"
"Three lines."
The quality of the elixir is directly related to the probability of breakthrough.
The circle of monks who have been stationed in Qingyang for a long time have learned the news, and Zhong Yan also heard from Yu Qingyao that Bai Siyuan failed in his first foundation building promotion.
Although he has four spiritual roots, the purity of his spiritual root essence is still good. He started practicing at the age of eighteen. From his early forties to the late stage of Qi refining, he has been practicing smoothly, so he was very confident and directly chose Daowen's Foundation Building Pill. result……
Half a year ago, Bai Siyuan spent most of his wealth to buy a four-pattern foundation elixir at Huoyun Pavilion and went into seclusion again. The result is still unknown.
Qi Xianzong immediately agreed: "Okay! Fellow Taoist, don't worry, Qi will definitely do his best!"
Three days later.
After being powerfully exported by Zhong Yan, Yao Huilan, Qin Youbai and Li Jiaxin, together with Qi Xianzong, led ten Xiantian and thirty Houtian warriors to leave the city - "going out to sea to hunt monsters".
…
Jingcheng, looking at Qifu.
Bai Feifei entered the practice room and took her own pulse as usual before doing the exercises.
This is what she has been doing every day for half a month.
Some inspiration.
Her eyelashes trembled, her face showed surprise, and then she examined it carefully and jumped up!
"It's true!"
"Zhong Lang is awesome!"
When she begged Zhong Yan to stay for a few more days, she calculated the time and wanted to conceive a fetus, so as to achieve the purpose of reuniting with Qingyang.
After the excitement and excitement.
Bai Feifei became anxious and nervous again, holding the talisman and walking back and forth in the stone room.
After hesitating for a long time, she changed a talisman to send a message to the senior sister.
Su Yue's eyelids twitched when she heard the situation. She immediately thought of Zhong Yan and asked, "Whose?!"
Bai Feifei was like a child who made a mistake and said weakly: "Seventh...seventh brother-in-law."
Su Yue secretly cursed you bastard for causing harm to my four disciples in Qifeng, and felt annoyed in her heart.
Bai Feifei mustered up the courage and said, "Sister, I'm in love with Zhong Yan. Please let me go to Qingyang. I want to marry him."
"..."
Su Yue was so angry that she was about to scold him. As she spoke, she suddenly remembered what Yao Huilan had reported earlier - Zhong Yan seemed to have given birth to an heir with true spiritual roots, and there was more than one.
After calming down, she sighed and said sadly: "Hey, you have all grown up and have your own opinions. I can't control you anymore."
Bai Feifei: "Senior Sister..."
Su Yue: "Since I'm pregnant, you can go if you want."
Bai Feifei was overjoyed: "Thank you, senior sister, for making it possible!"
Su Yue said again: "If you have a child, can you be as careless as Cymbidium? You come back to the peak first, and I will buy you a dowry, just in time for Xiaoqin to take over the work in Jingcheng for you."
After a pause, she added: "Forget it, I'll accompany you to Qingyang. Don't talk about the child to anyone else, including Zhong Yan, so as not to be said by outsiders that you stole the man from your senior sister."
"Yes, Senior Sister, I understand. I will leave to return to the sect tomorrow."
