In the center of the lively scene, there was a woman with a beautiful face. She was sitting on a round platform with her eyes lowered. Many people raised their heads and watched her like an object of great appreciation.
Qi Mingchen took one look, turned his head, and continued walking forward.
He guessed that it was most likely what he heard at the noodle shop yesterday, something about recruiting a bride.
"Today, our Yuan Mansion is holding a wedding ceremony with hydrangeas to recruit brides. The fate is determined by fate. The little girl is over 20 years old. She was once a practitioner and has reached the first level of elixir formation. Unfortunately, God is jealous of talents, causing her to be poisoned and her cultivation has been completely lost. , as a father, I hope to find a good match for her and take care of her throughout her life."
This sounds high-sounding, but in fact it is full of problems.
Qi Mingchen stopped and looked at the woman on the high platform in the distance.
If you look closely, you can see that the woman's eyes are lifeless, and even using makeup, she can't hide the tired look on her face.
A person who truly cares about his daughter would not use this method to recruit a bride.
What's more, this statement seems to be saying... "My daughter was once a practitioner, and there is a high probability that the next generation will become a practitioner."
It's so valuable, but it uses such a rare way to recruit a bride.
This matter has little to do with him, and he can just leave it, but if he really turns a blind eye, will he let it go?
Perhaps because he had experienced the Secret Realm of Asking the Heart, he became more calm emotionally and did not want to hesitate about this matter. It was still early before going to Jiange, and even if he went back after learning about this matter, he would still be able to make it in time.
Nowadays, the method of throwing embroidered balls to attract a bride has almost become a legend, but in his understanding, the person who can catch the ball is basically predetermined in this way of attracting brides. Most secular people believe in destiny, so they also use this method to express the destiny of men and women. It is determined that others cannot hinder the refutation.
But now, he had never heard of a situation where anyone could catch the ball, especially a young lady from such a wealthy family, and it was even more impossible. There was definitely an inside story involved.
Soon, it was time to throw the hydrangea.
I saw Miss Yuan, holding a red hydrangea in both hands, looking blankly into the distance until she saw a young and beautiful figure.
She gritted her teeth, pointed in one direction and threw it hard!
Qi Mingchen discovered that the hydrangea was heading straight towards him...
Most people stretched out their hands and tried to grab it.
In his pupils, the reflection of the hydrangea grew bigger and bigger, just as it was approaching in front of him.
"boom!"
Hear a loud noise exploding in the sky.
The crimson hydrangeas fell apart in the sparks, and everyone was startled by this sudden scene.
There are not only secular people around here, but also some practitioners with low cultivation levels.
Faced with what was almost an attack, everyone became vigilant.
Qi Mingchen withdrew his hand and concentrated half of his spiritual power, barely hitting the embroidered ball.
Even if he didn't want to sit idly by when faced with this matter, it didn't mean he wanted to get involved. He had heard that many practitioners were mixed up between men and women, and not only were they unable to practice well, but they were also prone to getting into big trouble.
The only thing that can be done is to destroy the hydrangea and delay the marriage recruitment process.
It is not easy to release spiritual power. He sighed softly and looked up to see Miss Yuan, looking at him with surprise in her eyes without blinking.
He was suddenly startled.
Couldn't this be...discovering his behavior just now?
According to ordinary people's eyesight, it is impossible to detect her movements.
But this woman had lost her cultivation, so normally she wouldn't be able to see what he did.
He felt more and more that there was something fishy in it.
Didn’t Miss Yuan’s cultivation completely disappear?
Regarding this situation, the head of the Yuan family broke out in cold sweat. He smiled awkwardly at everyone and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, there was an accident today. We will reschedule the wedding to another day!"
Everyone broke up unhappy, and some people were unwilling to accept it and directly proposed marriage to the head of the Yuan family, saying: "Our family will provide a generous betrothal gift. You can rest assured to leave Miss Yuan to me."
The person proposing the marriage seemed to be a gentle and reliable person, but the head of the Yuan family obviously did not think so. He frowned and said: "No, what my daughter needs is a destined person, no matter how much dowry it is. use."
The young man lowered his head in despair and left helplessly.
Miss Yuan was helped away by her servants. Before leaving, she turned her head and looked at him, making a gesture with her hands and pleading in her eyes.
Qi Mingchen understood the meaning.
Unless you are a practitioner, you will not be able to see this gesture.
The thumb presses the middle finger, and the other fingers move forward tightly. This is the closing gesture after possessing spiritual power and finishing the movement technique.
Generally speaking, if this gesture is used on others in the door, it means rest and the end.
In such a scene, another layer of interpretation appears.
The meaning expressed by this Miss Yuan's family is most likely a place to meet or deliver information, and this gesture may be in a place like an inn...
It was unknown how many inns there were in this town, and he didn't know which one it was. How would the other party know if he was in the room?
Unless... there is Miss Yuan's subordinate in a certain inn, and as soon as he arrives, the news will reach the ears of that lady.
Ms. Yuan seems to have been under control and her movements are restricted. The inn cannot be the largest one. After ruling out these, choose among the small inns.
Why are you suddenly involved in troublesome things?
In the process of looking for the inn, he couldn't help but doubt himself. It was impossible for him to do this before.
Not long after, he discovered a small inn near Yuan's house, which looked inconspicuous.
Qi Mingchen shook his head helplessly. Did this young lady from the Yuan family trust him too much, or did she not give him a glimmer of hope? Who in the right mind would have thought of this step?
He guessed that if the lady came in person, it would most likely be at this inconspicuous looking inn.
Walking into the inn, there didn't seem to be many guests here. A man who looked like the owner came over and asked:
"Guest, do you want to stay in the hotel or stay in the hotel?"
Before he could answer, the man saw his face and said, "The guest is staying in a hotel, right? I will arrange a room for you right now!"
After saying that, the shop owner returned to the counter, found a key and handed it to him, "The innermost room on the second floor is the best room in the shop. If you want to eat something, you can always order it."
Compared with his calm tone at the beginning, this person's attitude became much more enthusiastic at this time, and he did not mention the price of the room.
It's just that Qi Mingchen doesn't care about money. No matter how expensive it is in the secular world, it is still more expensive than an inferior spiritual stone...
At this time, he suddenly thought of the unusual meal he had invited Jinsheng to eat.
He silently retracted his previous thoughts.
Worldly consumption is not necessarily cheap, it is better to pay attention to the price.
"How much does it cost?"
"Just give me whatever you want!" The shop owner waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
