Hearing Han Li's answer, Zhong Weiniang's eyes were full of surprise and she could only clap her hands to cheer. She calmed down when she saw her master Li Huayuan glare at him.
Zhong Weiniang and Chen Qiaoqian have known each other since childhood. If Chen Qiaoqian could marry her junior brother Han Li, Zhong Weiniang would be willing to do so.
Li Huayuan also nodded slightly and said to himself: "It turns out she is a girl from the Chen family. I have seen that girl with good moral character and good character. This boy has good taste."
Li Huayuan actually felt a little regretful. If Han Lin could become a Taoist couple with Dong Xuan'er, then he and Senior Sister Hongfu would become in-laws.
But Han Li himself said that he has a sweetheart, so he can't let him forget about his sweetheart and marry Dong Xuan'er instead.
Li Huayuan looked at Hong Fu and said apologetically: "I really didn't expect that this kid already had a crush on me. It was my junior brother who handled the matter this time, and I apologize to my senior sister.
In my opinion, Xuan'er is still a young Taoist and should not rush into matters for a while. What do you think, senior sister? "
Li Huayuan's words could be regarded as giving Hongfu a step down.
Hongfu didn't seem angry, but looked a little regretful and replied:
"The fact that Junior Nephew Han can tell me frankly shows that he is a very good character and he is honest. It can only be said that Xuan'er and Junior Nephew Han are not destined to be together, so Junior Brother does not need to worry about it."
Although Hong Fu was very satisfied with Han Li, he still wanted to lose face, so he couldn't just hand over his apprentice to Han Li.
In fact, the reason why Hong Fu suddenly proposed to find a Taoist companion for Dong Xuan'er was because the decisive battle was about to begin, and even monks like them at the Dan Formation stage did not dare to say that they could guarantee their survival.
After all, more than ten Alchemy monks have died in the Yue Kingdom since the war began. Maybe he will be the next one.
Hongfu hopes to arrange the life-long affairs of his apprentice (daughter) before the decisive battle begins and find a reliable Taoist companion. This is really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world.
Dong Xuan'er's mood was a bit complicated at the moment. At first, he looked down on the plain-looking Han Li at all, and wanted to refuse his master's arrangement.
But after hearing Jiang Yun's boasts, his talk about luck, and the content of the betrothal gift, Dong Xuan'er felt that I could be merciful and give Han Li a chance to get to know her.
As a result, the style of painting suddenly changed. Han Li said that he already had a sweetheart, and Dong Xuan'er felt that she was not attracted by Han Li at all.
This made Dong Xuan'er, who was arrogant, never cared about others, and was used to male cultivators surrounding her, feel ashamed and angry.
It can only be said that female nuns are such complex creatures. Most people cannot keep up with the change in mentality.
Affected by this unexpected situation, Hong Fu said that he had other things to do and was going to take Dong Xuan'er to leave.
Others also understood that after all, it was a good blind date and the elders on both sides were very satisfied. However, the man said that he already had a sweetheart. This scene was still a bit embarrassing.
Fortunately, Hong Fu was very nurturing and had no grudges in his heart.
Jiang Yun also stood up, clasped his fists towards Li Huayuan and said, "Senior Brother Huayuan, it's getting late, so I'll take my leave."
Soon Li Huayuan personally sent Hongfu and Jiang Yun to the gate, watched them leave with their apprentices, and then returned to the living room.
Li Huayuan sat down again. Although the marriage failed this time, he looked at Han Li more closely and said softly: "I didn't expect that you are a dedicated person, not bad."...
"If it were anyone else, for the sake of Xuan'er's beauty and for the sake of clinging to you, Uncle Hongfu, I'm afraid he would have agreed in advance."
"Han Li, it's really rare for you to be able to resist the temptation and tell the truth about your feelings."
Li Huayuan looked at Han Li more and more, and he felt a little embarrassed when he remembered that as a master, he seemed to have never given him any guidance.
"Ahem, okay, Han Li will stay, and everyone else can go down."
Han Li left the small building half an hour later, with a smile on his lips.
However, Han Li received another message from Jiang Yun.
"I didn't expect that Brother Xian already has a sweetheart. It was too imprudent for me to only focus on helping Brother Xian marry a beautiful girl. But brother, don't worry. That Chen Qiaoqian you are thinking about, I will definitely help you get it next time, so that you can finally get it." Get married!"
"As an apology from the eldest brother, I will not only give you the best spiritual beast cubs for your children, but I will also provide you with the training resources from birth to successful foundation building!"
"If you and your wife are willing, you can send your child to me. I will definitely accept you as my direct disciple and teach you carefully, hahaha!"
Han Li: "Why is it that my future child's salary has skyrocketed again? I haven't even gotten married yet. How come the child has already been arranged?"
Han Li seemed to feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
He understood that Jiang Yun really cared about him, and he was very moved in his heart. I can't even express my blame.
Han Li really wanted to send a message to Jiang Yun to tell him not to do it again. He really only wanted to cultivate immortality, but Han Li's cultivation level was too low and he had no idea where Jiang Yun sent him the message.
Han Li had a bad feeling.
Three days later.
A hundred miles south of Fortress No. 12 is Thunder Mountain.
Whenever strong wind blows, the peak will make a roaring sound like thunder, hence its name.
Thunder Mountain is a thousand meters high, and there is a vast wasteland for dozens of miles around. Therefore, the field of vision is very good, and if an enemy is approaching, it can be spotted from a distance.
Due to the excellent terrain, a powerful formation is deployed here, and five large airships are docked here all year round.
On the one hand, Thunder Mountain serves as a docking point for the flying boat and supports the surrounding strongholds. On the other hand, it is also an important node for guarding the flanks of Fortress No. 12.
Due to the importance of Thunder Mountain, there will naturally be no shortage of troops. In addition to nearly a thousand low-level monks, there are also three alchemy-stage elders stationed here. Elder Jindan of the Chen family is one of them.
Like other immortal cultivating families, the Chen family also participated in the war with all their strength.
Except for the legitimate son of the Chen family and a dozen or so highly qualified immortal cultivators under the age of fifteen who did not participate in the war, all other clan members came to Jinguyuan.
This is also the current situation of every cultivating family. The seven sects tacitly allow each family to retain a very small number of seeds.
In a manor on the top of Thunder Mountain.
Chi Ling, the Supreme Elder of the Chen family, was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, expressionlessly looking at his great-great-granddaughter with red eyes and silence.
The head of the Chen family on the side said: "No matter the victory or defeat of Jinguyuan, our Chen family must first think of a way out, and the Qin family, who owns the family's secret realm, is the best candidate."
"The Qin family's secret realm is rich in spiritual energy and extremely hidden. Our Chen family must form an alliance with it to avoid war and marriage. Marriage is a necessary condition, and the only legitimate daughter of the main line of the family is you, my daughter. Everything is for the overall interests of the family."…
Chen Qiaoqian felt as if her heart was being grabbed, and it was extremely painful.
She has been very well-behaved since she can remember. Not only does she practice hard day after day, she is also respectful and polite to her elders. But no matter how hard you work, your destiny is still not in your hands.
Chen Qiaoqian suddenly remembered something, as if grasping a life-saving straw, she begged to the head of the Chen family:
"Father, the thief Lu Yunfeng tried to harm me before, and my daughter is still scared. If someone hadn't seen injustice on the road, my daughter would no longer be here."
"Although I heard that Young Master Qin is an upright gentleman, if he turns out to be a man with a human face and a beast's heart, wouldn't his daughter be a wolf in the tiger's mouth again?"
The head of the Chen family was speechless. He wanted to comfort his daughter but didn't know how to start.
The person above Chi Ling looked at Chen Qiaoqian with an indifferent expression and said in a deep voice:
"After the alliance, the two tribes are in the same secret realm, so you are not marrying far away, and your life safety is guaranteed. You just need to do your duty, abide by the rules of women, husband and children, and don't embarrass the Chen family."
Master Chiling's meaning was very clear. Apart from her life safety, the family would not care much about Chen Qiaoqian's life in her husband's house.
Chen Qiaoqian glanced at the core clan members around her. Everyone looked like they were taking it for granted, which made her heart become even colder.
At this moment, Chen Qiaoqian thought of her mother who just passed away last year.
My mother also married into the Chen family and married a father she had never met. She spent her whole life as a husband and raised children, but ended up with a broken life.
Chen Qiaoqian thought that after Lu Yunfeng's incident, her family would consider her thoughts a little.
It turned out that she was wrong, and she still looked like a precious object. I gave it to the Lu family today and to the Qin family tomorrow.
She had no doubt that if something happened to the Qin family before she got married, she might be promised to the next family again.
Just because she is the direct daughter of the main lineage of the Chen family, this status seems to be unattainable for casual cultivators.
But little did they know that a woman of her status would not have her own life from the moment she was born.
The family will tie themselves up with chains of righteousness, and the thickest chain is called the safety of the whole family.
And these people have never been asked for their thoughts and opinions.
If she could gain freedom by giving up her cultivation, Chen Qiaoqian would not hesitate at all.
But she understands that even if she reaches the first level of Qi training stage, she still has high marriage value.
What the Qin family valued was not just a female cultivator in the foundation-building stage, but their status as the direct daughter of the main lineage of the Chen family.
Even though Chen Qiaoqian has a good temperament among the younger generation of the Chen family, she couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment.
"Junior, obey."
These words seemed to exhaust all Chen Qiaoqian's strength, and she held onto the chair next to her with one hand to keep herself from falling.
Seeing this, Master Chiling nodded slightly.
Suddenly, Master Chiling frowned and made a move with one hand, and a golden light flew in from outside the house and landed in his hand.
Everyone in the Chen family saw that it was a sound transmission jade talisman.
Feeling the spiritual imprint of the Five Elements attributes on the jade talisman, Chiling's originally calm expression suddenly changed, and he quickly used his spiritual sense to sense it.
When Master Chiling put down the sound transmission jade talisman, he couldn't help but look at Chen Qiaoqian, his eyes full of surprise and surprise.
This kind of look will be very familiar to experienced investors on Earth.
That's the look in the eyes of old investors when they see the stock rising, and it's skyrocketing.
