"Okay, Liu Dalang! You really are still thinking about that beautiful heroine!" The middle-aged woman said angrily, "I'm afraid this is the real purpose of your coming to Qingfeng Mountain!"
"You bitch, I'm afraid you're out of your mind. That heroine, a fairy-like figure, is not from the same world as us." The middle-aged man Liu Dalang couldn't laugh or cry, "People might not even look at us seriously. Why did I come all the way to find her?"
"Really?" the woman said doubtfully, "But I really can't believe that that stupid girl Qiqi has become so successful."
"Whether it's true or not, you can't go wrong by going and taking a look." Liu Dalang patiently persuaded her, "If it's really her, then we will be very prosperous."
"Even if it is really that girl, will she still listen to us now?" The woman seemed to agree with Liu Dalang's point of view, but she was worried, "She is fifth on the list of heroes. She is an amazing big shot."
"No matter how great it is, we didn't raise her." Liu Dalang said disapprovingly, "Adoptive parents are also parents, how can a daughter disobey her parents' wishes?"
When Zhong Wen heard this, he couldn't help but frown and looked at the middle-aged man and woman who spoke carefully.
I saw that the man called "Liu Dalang" was about forty years old, with a square face, short stature, dark skin, wearing a shabby gray coat, and his appearance was similar to that of "Da Lang" This name is quite fitting.
The middle-aged woman was about the same age as Liu Dalang. She had a long, horse-like face with bulging cheekbones and sunken cheeks. It was obvious at first glance that she had a sharp and mean temper. Her skin was waxy yellow, and her clothes had been washed white. Obviously the family is not wealthy.
If these two people hadn't said it themselves, Zhong Wen would never have been able to associate the pretty Liu Qiqi with this middle-aged man and woman who looked wretched.
Could it be that Qiqi's adoptive parents were living in poverty, and when they learned that their adopted daughter was now prosperous, they wanted to come and seek refuge with them?
Looking at the shabby clothes on the two people's bodies, Zhong Wen couldn't help but secretly speculate.
"Dalang, I can't walk anymore, why don't we pay two silver dollars for a ride?" the woman said.
"With so little road left, what kind of car should we take?" Liu Dalang said displeased, "What a prodigal woman!"
"You poor devil, with a pig head and an iron rooster!" The woman heard the words and cursed loudly, "You don't even want to sit in a car with a silver dollar. I, Zhu Cuihua, was really blind back then. How could I find such a good-for-nothing like you! "
When Liu Dalang saw his wife getting angry, his tone immediately softened: "Okay, okay, just take the car, please keep your voice down, don't make others laugh."
"Do you know how to save face now? You dared to scold me just now!" Zhu Cuihua still cursed, "Besides, if Qiqi's matter is completed, our family will prosper in the future, and maybe we can buy a carriage of our own. , why are you still picking at Sosou?"
"Isn't this not done yet..."
Liu Dalang and his wife argued while walking towards the carriage and horse in the distance, and soon disappeared out of sight.
Zhong Wen thought for a moment, but finally did not come forward to strike up a conversation. He just shook his head and strode into the vegetable market.
…
"Wow! Zhong Wen, is this Qingfeng Mountain?"
Under the reluctant gaze of the coachman Xiao Lin, Zhong Wen led Zhuma and Ji Weizhu up the stairs and climbed slowly along the mountain road. In the autumn, the mountains were still full of birds singing and flowers fragrant, the fairy mist was mist, and the melodious chirping of birds and the mountains
The gurgling sounds of the small streams complement each other and weave into nature's most beautiful song. Compared with Tianying Peak on the border of Xiqi, it is less rough but more quiet.
The little girl Zhuma grew up in the mountains. Once she set foot on the mountain road, she naturally felt a sense of intimacy in her heart. She couldn't help but run and jump around and cheer for joy, as if she had returned to the village of the Dala tribe.
What a strong spiritual power!
Ji Weizhu's focus was completely different from that of the little girl. The spiritual energy on Qingfeng Mountain was so rich that it almost turned into a physical entity. It was not inferior to any holy land at all, which surprised her.
The three of them walked very fast. In less than two seconds, they could already faintly see the ancient buildings on the top of the mountain through the spiritual mist.
Zhong Wen's heart was on fire, and he unconsciously moved a little faster. He was about to approach the main entrance of Piaohua Palace when he heard the sound of an argument suddenly coming from inside.
He stepped into the courtyard in two steps at a time, and the first thing he saw was Liu Qiqi's adoptive parents, Liu Dalang and Zhu Cuihua.
Lin Zhiyun and Liu Qiqi stood opposite Liu Dalang. Against the backdrop of the two women's beautiful faces and graceful figures, the desolate appearance of Liu Dalang and his wife was even more highlighted.
Surrounding the courtyard were Shangguan Junyi, Leng Wushuang, Nangong Ling and other girls from Piaohua Palace. Even newcomers Ziyuan and Hualu were present.
At this time, the Piaohua Palace was much more popular than when Zhong Wen first came. The appearance of many beautiful women at the same time was like a hundred flowers blooming, vying for beauty, the birds were singing, and the pearls were surrounded by green leaves. Zhong Wen's eyes were straight when he saw them.
, saliva almost flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he secretly swore in his heart that he would never go down the mountain again in this life.
However, to his surprise, when facing his adoptive parents, Liu Qiqi's face did not show the joy of seeing her again after a long absence. Instead, her face turned pale, her slender body was trembling slightly, and there were tears hidden in her eyes.
This was the first time Zhong Wen saw a weak and helpless look on the face of Liu Qiqi, the "fighting king" of Piaohua Palace.
The Palace Master Lin Zhiyun, who had always been mild-tempered and kind to others, was also red-faced and angry, appearing quite abnormal.
Noticing Zhong Wen's appearance, Leng Wushuang, Shangguan Junyi and Zheng Yueting, the three confidantes, showed joy and tenderness on their faces at the same time, but they did not come up to say hello. They just winked at him and looked again.
Liu Qiqi's location.
"When Zhiyun brought Qiqi back to Qingfeng Mountain, it was your personal promise." Lin Zhiyun said in a stiff tone, "Now that Qiqi has not completed her studies, it is unreasonable for you to take her away."
"Lin, Palace Master Lin, we, we did agree with you to take Qiqi away." Facing such a gorgeous beauty like Lin Zhiyun, Liu Dalang couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and his tongue became less sharp, "But, but
There is no intention for her to stay in Piaohua Palace forever, like, like, now..."
Zhu Cuihua has a fierce temper. When she saw her man acting so unbearably, she couldn't help but said: "Palace Master Lin, although Qiqi is not the daughter of our couple, she was raised by us since childhood and is not much different from her biological daughter.
, when I agreed to send her to Piaohua Palace, I just wanted her to learn some skills and see the world, and I didn’t expect her to achieve much success in cultivation."
Lin Zhiyun sneered, a hint of contempt flashed in her eyes.
Liu Dalang and his wife were from a poor family. Although they were entrusted by others to adopt Liu Qiqi, they spent all the money raised by the other party on their two sons and did not care about this nominal "adopted daughter".
Not only did she only have one meal a day, she was also used to vent her emotions, and she was often beaten and scolded.
Lin Zhiyun, who was passing by the Liu family that year, saw the hungry and skinny Liu Qiqi. She felt pity for the little girl and wanted to save the little girl from the sea of misery, so she proposed to take her back to Qingfeng Mountain to learn arts.
Liu Qiqi’s meals and accommodation will be provided.
As soon as they heard that they could get rid of Liu Qiqi's burden, Liu Dalang and his wife, who already disliked her in every possible way, naturally agreed with both hands. Their attitude was really as positive as possible.
Therefore, hearing her shameless words, even Lin Zhiyun, who had always had a very good temper, almost burst into tears.
"Now that Qiqi can be ranked on the list of heroes, it has far exceeded our expectations." Zhu Cuihua continued, "Besides, this girl is quite old and has reached the age of marriage."
Liu Qiqi turned pale when she heard the word "marriage" and shook her head repeatedly: "I, I don't want to get married!"
"Nonsense!" Liu Dalang didn't dare to make trouble against Lin Zhiyun, but when he scolded this adopted daughter, he did it smoothly without any psychological burden.
Not getting married?"
"Qiqi, your father is right. At any age, you should do what you want." Zhu Cuihua saw the angry expressions on the faces of Lin Zhiyun and others, and knew that Liu Dalang's words were too much, so she quickly came out to smooth things over, "
Your parents have raised you since you were young, so they will never harm you. This time I come here to arrange a good marriage for you."
"Oh? I wonder who you two want to marry Qiqi to?" Lin Zhiyun's voice became colder and colder, "I am Master Qiqi after all. I still have the right to interfere with my apprentice's future husband, right?"
"To be honest, Palace Master Lin said, Qiqi is really lucky." Liu Dalang immediately became energetic after hearing her question, with a look of pride on his face, "This time, Mr. Ye Fan from the Ye family in Qingniu City came to visit.
Proposing a marriage, I don’t know if she is a blessing that she has cultivated over many lifetimes.”
"Ye family?" Lin Zhiyun then asked, "I wonder what Mr. Ye's cultivation is like?"
"I heard from my friends in the city that Mr. Ye Fan is not only handsome and has a prominent family background, but he is also an amazing cultivation genius." Liu Dalang had no idea about the realm of cultivation and just boasted to himself, "He is not yet thirty years old.
, he already possesses the ninth level of cultivation of the human wheel, and can be called a dragon among men."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was collectively petrified, and for a moment they didn't know how to say it.
"Uncle Liu, do you know what kind of cultivation Qiqi is?" Zheng Yueting on the side couldn't help but interjected.
"I don't understand this." Liu Dalang obviously didn't care about cultivation, "We ordinary people don't need to care too much about cultivation. As long as Qiqi can find a good family to marry, it will be considered as the wish of our old couple has been fulfilled. "
If he was still a little nervous before going up the mountain, when he saw that Liu Qiqi was so beautiful, she was completely different from the shriveled yellow-haired girl in his impression, and he immediately became determined to make a fortune by adopting a daughter.
"It's great that you two are willing to make plans for Qiqi." Lin Zhiyun finally suppressed the anger in her heart and said calmly, "However, Qiqi is talented and intelligent and is a good material for cultivation. Zhiyun still hopes She can continue to practice in Piaohua Palace, so don’t waste this great talent."
"No, no, now the world is at peace, the country is peaceful and the people are safe." Zhu Cuihua said disapprovingly, "If you want to practice so much, it's better to marry early and raise your husband and children. That's the right way."
"In that case, it's better to let Qiqi make her own decision." Lin Zhiyun saw that Liu Dalang and his wife were determined to take Liu Qiqi away, so she could only sigh and said, "Qiqi, are you willing to go down the mountain with your adoptive parents?"
"Master, I want to continue to practice with you." Liu Qiqi replied without hesitation, "I don't want to get married!"
"You two, you have also seen it." Lin Zhiyun turned to look at Liu Dalang and his wife, "Qiqi is devoted to the Tao and is not willing to leave with you. If she succeeds in her cultivation in the future, it will not be a bad thing."
"Palace Master Lin, what you said is wrong." Zhu Cuihua's face changed and she said sharply, "Since ancient times, children's marriages have been decided by their parents. How can they have the right to choose? Could it be that Piaohua Palace is relying on itself to be the leader? Do you want to bully ordinary people if you practice a sect and prevent us from taking our daughters down the mountain?"
"Why did Zhiyun ever stand in the way of you two?" Lin Zhiyun couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw Zhu Cuihua's falling out, "Qiqi is now a master of the Heavenly Wheel, and she has a bright future as a spiritual master, but you are forcing her to marry a human wheel. Practitioners are ridiculous, so if she doesn’t want to, isn’t it a matter of course?”
Liu Dalang was stunned when he heard this. Although he didn't understand the concept of "Heavenly Wheel", he could still tell that Liu Qiqi's cultivation level was probably far above that of Mr. Ye.
"Abba, Ama, this matter has nothing to do with Master." Liu Qiqi stretched out her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and said loudly, "My daughter has decided not to marry in this life and will only pursue the supreme swordsmanship. Please come back."
"Rebellion!" When Zhu Cuihua heard this, he became furious, "What a heartless little girl, if it weren't for me and Da Lang pulling you up with shit and piss, how would you be where you are now? I have worshiped my master, learned my skills, and my wings have become strong, but I don’t listen to my parents anymore, what’s the law of heaven!”
Liu Qiqi was scolded all over her face, tears appeared faintly in the corners of her eyes, but she still bit her lips tightly and did not speak.
"Oh my God, my earth! I never thought that we, the old couple, who had worked hard for most of our lives, actually raised such an unfilial daughter!" Seeing Liu Qiqi's indifference, Zhu Cuihua simply lost her heart and lay on the ground rolling around, "I can't live anymore.
I’m not alive anymore!”
