In the quiet Zicong Palace, there is no hustle and bustle on New Year's Eve, but only the sadness and desolation of these clan members.
Chu Xiyan was sitting on the steps, with clean dishes and chopsticks placed beside him. Today was the simplest New Year's Eve dinner he had ever had in his life.
In the distance, fireworks are still blooming in Zhongdu City, and the people are still in the joy of the New Year.
Chu Xiyan did not eavesdrop on the conversation between the two people in the house. He just enjoyed the short period of tranquility. On weekdays, he did not have so much time and energy to relax.
The door behind him suddenly opened, and Chu Wan'er took Qianxue's hand and walked out.
The two of them were talking and laughing, which made Chu Xiyan wonder, when did the relationship between their aunt and nephew become so good?
"When you go back, you have to eat well and take care of yourself..." Chu Wan'er said, touching Qianxue's head.
"Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely do it." Qianxue said with a sweet smile.
"And you, stop sitting around and take Xue'er back quickly. I'm telling you, you have to take good care of Qianxue. If anything happens to Qianxue, I will hate you forever." Chu Wan'er turned her head and looked. Xiang Xiyan, who was sitting on the steps in a daze.
Chu Xiyan stood up in confusion and replied: "Is she my daughter or your daughter? Why is she closer to you than to me?"
Chu Wan'er and Chu Qianxue burst into laughter after hearing this. Aren't mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just mothers?
Chu Xiyan left with Qianxue. When leaving, Qianxue sent a message to Chu Wan'er and called her "Mom".
This sound mother immediately broke Chu Wan'er's guard. She waved goodbye to Qianxue with red eyes. After the courtyard door was closed and locked, tears flowed down her cheeks.
"What did you all talk about?" Chu Xiyan asked curiously on the carriage back.
"It's a secret that cannot be told. I will tell you when I can." Qianxue said with a sweet smile.
Chu Xiyan looked at her daughter who was in a better mood and felt something in her heart. If there was ever a time when Qianxue smiled so happily, the last time was when he allowed her to see Daolin, and then it was this time.
On the way back, just after midnight, a new round of intensive fireworks flew into the sky, exploding balls of light one after another in the sky.
Qianxue couldn't help but open the curtains and look outside, with a sweet smile on her face.
"Daddy, it's so beautiful tonight." Qianxue turned her head and looked at Chu Xiyan and said.
Chu Xiyan nodded. In fact, he, a father, couldn't accept asking her to marry her daughter to someone she didn't like, so he kept praying in his heart that Daolin would come early.
Returning to the Duke's Mansion, the Duchess had been waiting for a long time. When her husband and daughter came back, she hurriedly greeted them, and then personally sent Qianxue back to the room. She only left after making sure that Qianxue was okay.
After blowing out the candles, Qianxue lay back on the bed. She hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time. Today, she was enlightened by Chu Wan'er. She decided to treat herself well, not for anything else, just so that Daolin could see perfection when he came. of myself.
In Chu Xiyan's room, he and his wife sat on the bed and chatted.
"You mean Miss Wan'er enlightened Xue'er?" Madam asked with some surprise.
"Yes, although I didn't hear what they were talking about, Xueer obviously changed before going in and after coming out." Chu Xiyan replied.
….
The madam nodded, and she also noticed it. After going to the Zhidou Palace, Qianxue seemed to have figured it out.
"What about Qianxue's marriage?" the lady asked with a sigh.
"What can I do...Who dares to disobey grandpa's orders..." Chu Xiyan also said with great bitterness and hatred.
"Then you can't push your daughter into the fire pit." Madam leaned on Chu Xiyan's shoulder and said?
Chu Xi hugged his wife and said, "Now we can only rely on Daolin to be good enough, so good that grandpa can change his life."
"How sure are you?" the lady straightened up and asked.
"I don't know, but according to what I know about that kid, it should be 30%..." Chu Xiyan said.
"Only three
Is it done? "The lady had a disappointed expression on her face.
"For a child from an ordinary family to have a 30% chance of competing with the heirs of an emperor, that's already quite a lot." Chu Xiyan said.
"But what can 30% do? I can only prove to grandpa that his choice is better." The lady's eyes turned red again as she spoke.
"Do you think Grandpa doesn't know about Daolin's existence?" Chu Xiyan suddenly said.
"Grandpa knows?" Madam asked in a daze.
"Everything that happened in the Lieyang Empire could not escape Grandpa's eyes and ears. Besides, Daolin also made some noise some time ago. Grandpa will definitely know about these movements. The reason why he still agreed to Chiyue The empire's request for marriage may have its own reasons." Chu Xiyan said slowly.
"What's the problem? Why should you use your great-granddaughter to solve it?" Madam asked displeased.
"Be careful what you say. You don't need me to tell you the story of disaster coming from your mouth." Chu Xiyan frowned.
"I'm not in a hurry..." the lady lowered her head and said.
"I think grandpa agreed to this marriage contract because he couldn't refuse Chiyue. After all, Lieyang and Chiyue are allies on the surface. If this imperial royal marriage is rejected, it is likely to trigger a rupture between the two empires. It’s going to be hard to end this time.”
"So I guess that while we are expecting Dorian to rush to snatch the bride, grandpa should also be waiting. Maybe he is more anxious than us."
The lady nodded thoughtfully.
"So, the cracker of this situation is Daolin? If not, send someone to find him quickly and ask him to come quickly!" Madam grabbed Chu Xiyan's arm and said.
"A Ming has already been there. He was not in Shangzhou County before, but combined with the barbarians who migrated from the Linyuan Empire, it should not be difficult to infer that Daolin should be in the Linyuan Empire." Chu Xiyan said after a moment of silence.
"Barbarians? The migration of foreign tribes is also related to that boy?" the lady said in shock.
"There is a high probability that it is, because the saint of the barbarians had a close relationship with Daolin before. This time the barbarians migrated, there should be Daolin behind them." Chu Xiyan nodded and said.
"This young man has so much energy?" the lady said in disbelief.
"That's why I said he has a 30% chance. As far as I know, he has gathered three divine union realms and digital creation realms around him, and he also has a good family background and connections. This kid may not be as good as the Emperor's clan. But it is much stronger than some big families." Chu Xiyan gave full affirmation.
….
"I hope he won't disappoint us..."
After listening to his wife's words, Chu Xiyan took a deep breath and repeated her words in his heart.
Don't let us down...
……………………
After hurrying and slowing down, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Daolin and his party finally rushed back to Shangzhou County.
Everyone was excited about Dolin's appearance. They hugged Dolin one by one to express their care for Dolin.
Dolin also excitedly told them about the past. When he was practicing in the dark world, how much he wanted to be with these brothers and sisters, and now he finally realized it.
They were all shocked by Daolin's improvement in cultivation, but when they heard that Daolin had spent one hundred and sixty-six years to get to this point, they felt sorry for him.
"Everyone must know about Qianxue. I know that everyone must go, but I'm afraid this trip won't be easy." Daolin said with a solemn expression.
"What are you afraid of? We are simply going to attend Qianxue's engagement ceremony. We are not going to cause trouble. They have no reason to do anything to us." Su Chen said with a smile.
"Well, if I take action against them then, don't be impulsive, just watch." Dolin nodded and said.
"Let's talk about it then, in case I can't hold it back!" Taishi Xingwei came over and patted Daolin on the shoulder.
Dolin looked at their smiling faces and felt moved in his heart.
"Do the math
There is still a month left, if I move forward at full speed, I should be able to make it in time. "Dolin suddenly thought of something and looked towards the north.
"Where are you going?" Taishi Xingwei asked.
"I want to meet someone, someone who can be considered an ancestor of the Chu family." Dolin said in a deep voice.
"Could it be..." Qingjiu remembered who he was talking about.
Daolin nodded and said, "Although he can't leave there, he can write a letter, which may change Emperor Lieyang's mind."
"Then you go back quickly. We plan to leave in the near future. Then we won't wait for you. We will meet up in Zhongdu." Taishi Xingwei nodded and said.
"Okay!" Dolin set off directly after repairing a little, and there was no reason for him to delay.
A stream of light left directly from the sky above Shangzhou County, aiming directly at the Hewu Mountains.
With Daolin's current cultivation level, if he advances at full speed, he can reach the original three-month journey in three days. By then, it will only take him a week to go to Zhongdu. Relatively speaking, the time is more than enough.
There was no words along the way, and it took Daolin three days to finally arrive at the Hewu Mountains. He did not go to meet Leng Yan, but went directly to the nameless hill that Daofang told him about.
Then he entered the underground river from the cave and followed the river eastward to find the entrance.
"Ancestor! Daolin asks to see you!" Daolin's voice penetrated the entire mountain with the blessing of true energy.
Suddenly his feet were empty, and Dolin slid down the slide. It must be said that the slide is similar to a slide. This thing has no age distinction, and whoever sits on it will be happy.
After passing through the corridor, Dolin pushed open the stone door, and when he came to this space again, he still felt something.
….
"Why are you here? Didn't you say that last time? Don't you bother me anymore when it's a matter of life and death?" An old voice came, and Chu Tianlu suddenly appeared in front of Daolin. This speed could be called teleportation. .
"Ancestor, what are you doing?" Daolin did not answer Chu Tianlu's question, but asked about Chu Tianlu's situation.
At this time, Chu Tianlu looked much older than two years ago, but according to his great achievements in "General Xuan Ming Gong", he should not age so fast.
"You have something to say." Chu Tianlu also did not answer Daolin's question.
"Didn't I pass by here to deliver something to you?" Dolin took out a large wooden barrel and a row of wine gourds with a smile on his face.
Seeing the wine gourd, Chu Tianlu's cloudy eyes suddenly brightened up. The allure of the wine was invincible.
"Is this barrel full of fine wine?" Chu Tianlu looked at the barrel with burning eyes.
"Ancestor, this thing is more precious than fine wine." Dolin said with a smile.
"Oh? What is it?" Chu Tianlu said as he unplugged the barrel, then leaned over and took a sniff.
"What is this? White water? Are you here to tease the old man?" Chu Tianlu asked displeasedly.
Dolin smiled and handed over a water glass and said, "Try it first."
Seeing Daolin's unpredictable expression, Chu Tianlu took the water glass, scooped up a glass of water and took a sip. His pupils shrank suddenly, and then he drank all the water in the glass with a gulp.
"What kind of water is this? It has such an effect?" Chu Tianlu looked at Daolin in shock and asked.
"This is the divine water that I accidentally discovered. It has the dual effects of healing and restoring vitality. How about it, is this thing better than that wine?" Dolin said with a smile.
"Not bad, not bad. I just need this thing. With it, I can persist for a while." Chu Tianlu said with satisfaction.
"Insist? Insist on what?" Dolin asked in confusion.
Chu Tianlu knew that he had spilled the beans, so he scratched his thin hair in embarrassment.
"Is there something wrong? Can I help?" Daolin asked, looking at Chu Tianlu's troubled expression.
Chu Tianlu looked at Daolin and said, "You kid, your cultivation level has improved very quickly. I haven't seen you for two years."
Having broken through to the realm of divine union, perhaps this is destiny. "
Daolin knew that Chu Tianlu was going to tell him something obscure, so he did not interrupt him.
"The reason why I asked you to come back when you encounter a life-and-death crisis is because most of my energy must be used to suppress one thing, or to suppress a disaster." Chu Tianlu said while looking back at Shitai.
"The reason why I named myself here is because there is an ancient ferocious beast sealed under this stone platform."
Daolin was also shocked when he heard this. He naturally knew what Jian was. It was simply the source of disaster. He was different from other ancient strange beasts or ancient divine beasts. As long as it appeared in the world, it would definitely bring about a terrible disaster. Specifically, No one knows what the disaster was.
"It can be seen from your expression that you have some understanding of the Jian, and you should also know its dangers. Unfortunately, there is a Jong sealed here, and it is a Jong in its heyday."
"It has been sealed here for thousands of years. I chose this place because the old man who taught me the technique told me. He asked me to suppress the beast here."
Daolin frowned when he heard this. Chu Tianlu might not know who the old man was, but he did know clearly that the old man was the clone of the Demon God, and he was still imprisoned in the Dragon Domain of the Land of Nothingness.
"Did the old man say why he sealed this beast? With that man's strength, he should be able to kill it directly. Why not kill it to avoid future troubles?" Daolin asked the doubt in his heart.
Chu Tianlu was silent for a moment and said: "What I understand is that the reason why the old man did not kill Jian was because he seemed to still need Jian, but it was just that the time had not yet come for him to come out."
"Because it is a paid chapter, the word count cannot be reduced after publishing, which will affect viewing, I'm sorry."
