Chapter 119 Returning to the Sect, See
A gentle breeze swept through the pavilion, and wisps of incense smoke curled from the corner of the room. Zhang Zhaoying picked up a black chess piece, holding it firmly, and looked at Jiang Ruoyu, suppressing the urge to smash it in his face.
"You've been thinking about this for over ten days, and you still haven't made up your mind? Then what did you say about giving me time to think about it? Don't try to fool me!"
She had promised her nephew to help him make connections, but when it came to Jiang Ruoyu, she was stumped.
After all, he is my master, so it's better for him to mediate than for him to do it himself.
"Junior brother, don't be in such a hurry, hahaha," Jiang Ruoyu took a leisurely sip of tea, "My little disciple is now the pride of his family, a Golden Core cultivator at twenty-five or twenty-six years old, there are many people who want to marry him. Even if Junior Nephew Fu is a Nascent Soul cultivator, I can't make the decision."
Just as Zhang Zhaoying was about to slam his fist on the table, Jiang Ruoyu changed the subject, "However, I received a reply from the Leng family. You can take a look for yourself." She then handed over a letter.
After all, he was Leng Huan's proper master, so the Leng family still gave him face and replied sincerely.
After browsing through the document, Zhang Zhao was initially incredulous, then looked more closely, and was shocked: "What?! They actually want a Nascent Soul Venerable to marry into the family?"
“简直倒反天罡！”
In the mainland today, a Nascent Soul cultivator is already considered an elder of a sect, and some small sect leaders are not even Nascent Soul cultivators.
Jiang Ruoyu twitched his lips. "Junior brother, it was precisely because the Leng family had no intention of doing so that they replied in this way, meaning to politely decline and let us back down and not mention the matter again."
Zhang Zhaoying stood up and flicked his sleeves: "Hmph, they almost became fellow disciples back then. If you hadn't interfered, how could things have turned out so badly!"
Jiang Ruoyu: "...Don't bring up the past, let's stick to the facts."
Zhang Zhaoying: "Forget it, go back and persuade him. Fairy Piaomiao is also a good choice. Why hang yourself on one tree?"
Jiang Ruoyu: "..." Actually, he thought Fu Xun was a person with a promising future and wanted to make him his apprentice-in-law, but the Leng family had no interest in him.
cold home.
Leng Feng looked at his father and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Father, after all, Elder Jiang is my cousin's master. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Leng Zhaohe shook his head: "It can only be said that all of this is due to a series of unfortunate events. Even if Fu Xun is a Nascent Soul cultivator, once the opportunity is missed, it is missed. As for the suggestion of him marrying into the family, that was just a polite way of refusing. I hope Elder Jiang can understand."
Jianfeng.
When Fu Xun saw Zhang Zhaoying's expression, he felt a chill in his heart and a wave of disappointment washed over him. Was it really impossible?
Zhang Zhaoying was in a dilemma. She had promised the younger generation but failed to do so. Looking at Fu Xun, she felt a little sorry for him. "The Leng family replied that unless you are willing to marry into the family, they will not be able to arrange a marriage for the Holy Maiden."
Fu Xun's eyes lit up: "Marry into my family? I'm willing!"
Zhang Zhaoying: "..." The words of preparing to make him the sect leader's son-in-law stuck in his throat.
Regardless of what others think, if Leng Huan knew that Fu Xun had agreed to marry into the family, he would definitely be terrified.
Are you out of your mind?! How dare you let Long Aotian marry into your family?!
-
On the other side, Leng Huan looked at the guy in front of him who was supposedly the son-in-law of a wealthy family in the village and fell into deep thought.
Looking around... what a familiar feeling, what familiar faces.
The scene she glimpsed in the underground palace of the Dongjun City Lord's Mansion—the man-eating beast transforming into a living person—was unforgettable to this day.
With a Foundation Establishment cultivation level and a beautiful, fairy-like face, Leng Huan greeted him: "You must be Hong Sheng?"
This guy is quite good at hiding. Even the wanted list of Fengsheng Tower couldn't find him. Speaking of which, who the hell would have thought that the famous former city lord of Dongjun City, Hong Shuhai, would actually be hiding in a remote mountain village?
Hong Shuhai looked at Leng Huan warily. He didn't remember what those women looked like back then, and now he just assumed that Leng Huan and the others were cultivators who had mistakenly entered this place.
"That is indeed me. May I ask what brings you here, Immortal Master?"
Smelling the faint animalistic scent emanating from him, Leng Huan smiled nonchalantly, then suddenly drew his sword and pressed it against Leng Huan's throat.
At the same time, his aura surged, revealing that he was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. Hong Shuhai had barely escaped back then, and in the past few years he had been hiding and had been seriously injured, so his cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.
Without even a thought of resistance, he reacted with lightning speed, turning into a puff of smoke and escaping!
Since Leng Huan dared to challenge us, he must have been prepared. How could a Golden Core cultivator be allowed to escape?
The man-eating beast that once made her tremble with fear was slain by Leng Huan in just a few rounds. He then used a fire-igniting spell to burn the evil corpse to ashes.
-
"Achoo..." Leng Huan recalled his sword and sneezed slightly.
Is someone thinking of me? Or is someone trying to harm me?
At this moment, Jiang Ruoyu of the Refining Peak was blankly conveying Fu Xun's message to the Leng family after careful consideration. The urgent letter would take more than ten days to arrive and depart.
Leng Huan led his disciples away from that wild village and headed directly towards the Misty Immortal City, a journey that took only a little over ten days.
So after she rented several cave dwellings in the Misty Immortal City for her disciples to cultivate, she took Leng Yan with her and went up the mountain together. Only after returning to the sect did she learn about the news that she and Fu Xun were going to form a contract, no, that Fu Xun was going to marry into her family and that she was going to take him in as a son-in-law.
Meanwhile, news of her return spread throughout the Misty Immortal Sect, and tomorrow was Fu Xun's Nascent Soul Ceremony.
Overwhelmed by all the news, Leng Huan stared blankly, his expression blank, and as if sleepwalking, he automatically found his way back to Maple Forest Garden.
She even ignored Leng Yan, who was standing next to her in shock.
"Senior Sister Leng! You're finally back!" Lin Miaoyan's excited voice finally brought Leng Huan back to her senses.
"Junior Sister Lin, this is my cousin."
He introduced Leng Yan to her, and after a few pleasantries, Leng Huan led Sang Biao and his wife, along with their families, to the main hall to see the master.
(Little White gave birth to four cubs: one yellow, one white, one yellow and white, and one white with yellow markings. They've now grown into wolfhounds and are being raised by Fairy Piaomiao on the main peak. Leng Huan hasn't seen them yet.)
The main hall of the weapon refining peak was still the same elegant pavilion, the same chess table, and the same incense burner, except that the person opposite Jiang Ruoyu had become Leng Huan.
“师父……。”
After the servant poured the tea, seeing Jiang Ruoyu leisurely sip the fragrant, high-quality spiritual tea, Leng Huan called out, glanced at his master, and then picked up his teacup and took a sip himself.
"How can you be so calm? I, Leng Huan, your last disciple has returned!"
Jiang Ruoyu slowly put down her cup, looked her apprentice up and down, and suddenly asked with a teasing expression, "Little Si, nothing happened to you this time, did it?"
Leng Huan shook his head: "No, does it count if my cultivation level increases by one step while I'm trapped in the secret realm?"
"Tsk, you're already in your twenties, almost thirty, it's perfectly normal. Fu Xun is so desperate to get engaged to you. Did you steal his heart and then run away irresponsibly?"
Leng Huan's expression changed. "Master, do you have to bring up something you don't want to talk about?"
This master is unacceptable! That disrespectful sixth brother!
Jiang Ruoyu was notoriously unreliable in her youth, so how could she be fooled by her like this? "So, something's up, tsk tsk tsk..."
Leng Huan: "..."
“Master, if you don’t bring this up, we can still be master and disciple.”
Seeing that she was getting anxious, Jiang Ruoyu laughed loudly: "Hahaha, alright, so how are you going to handle this?"
He reminded him, "Your family's news should arrive in the next day or two. You should think it over carefully. Fu Xun is the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator in the history of our Immortal Sect. The last one like him was his master, who broke through a few years later than him."
"Look, the sect leader wants to groom him as his successor. He has the potential to become the number one young person in the righteous path. You better take it easy; marrying into the sect is just a joke..."
Leng Huan indicated that he understood; even if he didn't say it, there was absolutely no way he would allow Long Aotian to marry into the family.
"Master, when he holds the celebration ceremony tomorrow, will he announce that he is the sect's chief senior brother?"
The chief senior brother of the entire sect is a special existence, judged solely on cultivation ability and reputation, regardless of age.
He is essentially the next sect leader.
Leng Huan sighed inwardly. Fu Xun had such a heavy responsibility to bear, he absolutely could not follow the path of the original book.
In that case, the entire sect would probably become a laughing stock.
What?! Your top senior brother, the future sect leader, has fallen into demonic possession?! That's hilarious!
Hahaha! Look at so-and-so, they've actually become a demonic cultivator!
Hehehe! A righteous son has joined my demonic sect, and the demonic sect will flourish!
……
Leng Huan touched his goosebumps.
Jiang Ruoyu nodded: "That's right. You'll be attending tomorrow too, and you'll need to prepare a gift, don't forget."
A congratulatory gift? Leng Huan strolled to the palace gate, flanked by two wolfhounds, one yellow and one white. He took their leashes and slowly walked back to Maple Forest Garden.
Upon closer inspection, Leng Huan had indeed forgotten to congratulate him on breaking through to the next realm.
After examining the Blood Bodhi Jade Box in the bracelet's space, Leng Huan decided to give him ten pieces, keeping five for himself in case of need.
As the family arrived at the platform at the exit of the Maple Forest Garden stairs, Leng Huan looked up and saw a familiar figure. She instinctively wanted to turn around, but as she lifted her foot halfway, she suddenly remembered that this was clearly her territory!
