Except for a few members of the Qin family present, no one knew why this woman was so favored by the old lady, so they paid special attention to her.
The Fang clan members standing around Fang Liangyu had different expressions, some were sullen, some were envious, and some were sneering in silence.
Fang Yi took out an exquisite little medicine box and offered it: "Zu nainai, this is the life-extending pill I refined for you."
"Good boy..." Fang Liangyu accepted it with a smile, took Fang Yi's hand and asked her to stand with Fang Ziling: "You stay here now, I will have a few words with you later."
Qin Yun hesitated for a moment, then walked forward and knelt down to salute: "Qin Yun, a descendant of the Qin family, sends a congratulatory gift in the name of the ancestor, and wishes the old lady a long life!"
"Your ancestor?" Fang Liangyu was stunned, his eyes a little strange.
Seeing that it was Qin Yun, Fang Ziling curled her lips, her lips opening and closing clearly in the shape of the word "big bad guy".
Not many people noticed this little move, but the girl in the white skirt seemed to notice it and turned her head slightly to look at her.
Fang Liangyu reached out to take the congratulatory letter and gift from Qin Yun, and asked lightly: "Why doesn't that old immortal come by himself?"
These words... made Qin Yun really embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
It would be rude not to answer, but if you answer, wouldn't it mean that your ancestor is an "old immortal"?
But Fang Yi, who was next to him, helped him out: "Nainai, the ancestor of the Qin family is in retreat today, so I can't come to congratulate you in person."
"Hmph!" Fang Liangyu snorted: "It would be best if he doesn't come!"
Without reading the congratulatory letter, she first opened the ebony box as a congratulatory gift.
This wooden box is only about the size of a palm. It looks plain and simple without any elegance or luxury. If it were not a congratulatory gift from the ancestor of the Qin family, I am afraid everyone would look at it with contempt.
But when the lid of the box was opened, even Fang Liangyu was stunned.
What was placed inside the wooden box was a piece of purple jade about two inches long and three fingers wide!
It lies quietly on the golden velvet cloth, crystal clear and warm, emitting a faint purple light, and full of mysterious aura that makes people unable to take their eyes away at the first sight.
"Okay, so beautiful!" Fang Ziling on the side couldn't help but her eyes lit up.
"Purple shadow marrow jade!" Fang Liangyu said in a voiceless voice: "Isn't this a treasure that the old guy values more than his own life? How can he be willing to give it away?"
No one could answer her question, because even Qin Yun didn't know it beforehand, but not many people didn't know about the Purple Shadow Marrow Jade.
Red blood marrow jade, yellow dragon marrow jade, purple shadow marrow jade and black ink marrow jade are collectively known as the four best jade, which are rare and precious and hard to find.
When Guo Shanfeng attacked the Qin family's caravan for a piece of yellow dragon marrow jade, the entire army was wiped out without a burial place.
Among the four top-quality gems, purple shadow marrow jade is the rarest and most beautiful.
Snap!
Fang Liangyu closed the lid of the box again, and the overflowing spiritual energy disappeared immediately.
She handed the wooden box to the girl in the white dress beside her, and then opened the congratulatory letter.
After reading the letter, the old lady of the Fang family's eyes became extremely sharp, and she glanced coldly at Qin Yun, who was still kneeling on the ground.
This glance made Qin Yun feel really frightened. He didn't know what his ancestor said in the letter, which made the other party look at him like this.
This is a powerful man of the Transformation Gang level!
"Hmph!" Fang Liangyu patted the little girl in the white dress lightly and said coldly: "Your ancestor is quite scheming. He wants to use a piece of purple shadow marrow jade as a betrothal gift and let my Bing'er be your wife?"
As soon as he said it, the whole audience was shocked!
Qin Yun was even more stunned. He never imagined that his ancestor would propose marriage to this iceberg-like girl.
Fang Ziling and Fang Yi both opened their eyes wide in surprise, with disbelief on their pretty faces.
Others, especially those from various families who coveted the girl in the white dress, all looked at Qin Yun with all kinds of jealousy, envy, hatred and even resentment.
If eyes could kill like sword energy, I'm afraid Qin Yun would have been torn apart by random swords!
Among them, Qin Xiaoyue's eyes were the most complicated and unspeakable. Among all the young men present, he was the most qualified suitor of the girl in the white dress.
How could He De, a mere collateral descendant, be so loved by his ancestor?
Only the girl in the white dress still looked cold, looking at Qin Yun with a hint of disdain in her eyes: "Bing'er doesn't want to marry, Bing'er just wants to stay with Zu Nainai forever."
Her statement made many people secretly breathe a sigh of relief. They did not dare to be rude to the ancestor of the Qin family, but secretly laughed at Qin Yun for being a toad who wanted to eat swan meat.
"Silly boy..." Fang Liangyu said lovingly: "Girls always have to get married."
She turned back to Qin Yun and said, "I agree to this marriage!"
The entire hall was silent again, and even the girl in the white dress was stunned, with an incredible look on her frozen jade face.
Some people cursed in their hearts, could it be that Qin Yun really had such bad luck?
"But I have two conditions..." Fang Liangyu continued: "You must achieve innateness before the age of twenty, and find three marrow jade of red blood, yellow dragon and black mo as a betrothal gift!"
"If one of these two conditions is not met, then you should not marry my Bing'er."
Break through the innate realm before the age of twenty!
Three pieces of different marrow jade!
Qin Yun really wanted to say to the old lady, I have never thought about marrying your Binger!
But Qin Yun knows very well that he must not speak like this, because he is here on behalf of the ancestor of the Qin family. If he says no, he will only be regarded as incompetent and timid, and he will lose the face of his ancestor, who is a member of the Qin family!
It’s just that these two conditions are really difficult!
There is a widely circulated rumor in the vast Jiuzhou that if a warrior can achieve innateness before the age of twenty, there is a high chance that he will eventually reach the realm of supernatural powers.
Don't look at Qin Yun's continuous breakthroughs in just half a year. The further he gets, the harder it becomes to achieve breakthroughs in strength. Unless he relies on constantly taking a large amount of precious elixirs, it will be very difficult to reach the peak of Qi refining in two or three years.
And how can it be so easy to break through Xiantian? There are tens of thousands of warriors in Kyushu, but I don’t know how many people are stuck at this pass and waste their lives.
As for the three marrow jade of red blood, yellow dragon and black ink, it is even more difficult to find them all. The difficulty is even higher than promoting innate.
"Thank you!" Qin Yun saluted again. No matter what, it would be right to agree first.
Anyway, there was little possibility of realizing these two conditions at the same time, so he didn't feel any pressure. He expected that Fang Liangyu did not want to refute the Qin family ancestor's face, so he adopted a compromise approach.
Anyway, when times change in the future, this troublesome matter will naturally go away.
"Well, get up!" Fang Liangyu nodded: "From today on, Bing'er will be your fiancée, and she will come and marry you after you fulfill my request!"
fiancée?
Qin Yun stood up in confusion, feeling really miserable in his heart.
He never dreamed that he was just here to celebrate his birthday, but he would get into such big trouble.
The glances cast from behind him from left and right made Qin Yun feel like a thorn in his back, making him feel really uncomfortable.
He lamented from the bottom of his heart - Ancestor, why do you torment your disciples like this?
The old lady of the Fang family made the final decision. No one present dared to raise any objections. The young disciples all focused their jealousy and hatred on Qin Yun.
The girl in the white dress named Bing'er didn't say anything anymore, seemingly acquiescing to her fiancée's identity.
Maybe she also thought that it was impossible for Qin Yun to fulfill those two conditions.
"Okay!" Fang Liangyu took the faucet crutch, stood up slowly and said, "Today is a day of great joy. You sincerely come to congratulate me. I am very happy and hope that all families in Qianchao can live in harmony!"
Representatives from each family saluted together to once again express their respect for the old lady. Then, under the guidance of a member of the Fang family, they left the inner hall and returned to the front lobby to wait for the birthday banquet to begin.
Only Fang Yi was left behind by Fang Liangyu.
After everyone else left, Fang Ziling couldn't wait to ask: "Zu nainai, why did you marry Sister Bing to that big bad guy?"
"The big bad guy?" Fang Liangyu glanced at the girl with a half-smile, "Did he ever bully you?"
"He dares?" Fang Ziling raised her chin and said disdainfully: "I just don't like him. He obviously has a sweetheart, but he still comes to ask for marriage. It's so shameless!"
"Then you have wronged him. This kid must not have known about it beforehand."
Fang Liangyu smiled and shook his head, which relieved Qin Yun's grievances: "It's not a problem that he has a sweetheart. It's normal for a good man to have three wives and four concubines. Only incompetent people can't even afford to keep one wife!"
There are many countries in the vast nine states, and wars are frequent and endless. There have always been more women than men.
Therefore, in wealthy families, especially in powerful families, men often have wives and concubines in groups, so that they can spread their branches and choose the outstanding ones to inherit the family property and power.
She took the hand of the girl in the white dress and said softly: "Bing'er, I know your temperament. You definitely don't like this arrangement, but you have to believe that Zu Nainai will never harm you."
"You are a filial child. I don't want you to be alone forever like me. If Qin Yun can really meet the requirements, he will definitely be your perfect match."
Although Fang Liangyu is famous, she has never married in her life. It can be said that she has dedicated everything to the Fang family, so she can control the family as a woman.
But behind her prominence in front of others, who can understand the desolation and loneliness in her heart.
The girl in the white dress nodded silently.
No matter how reluctant she was in her heart, she would not disobey her ancestor who always loved her.
Fang Liangyu took Fang Yi's little hand again: "Yier, I've been really hard on you these past few years. How are you doing in the Qin family now? Is anyone bullying you? If someone bullies you, tell me and I will vent your anger.
!”
Her concern made Fang Yiqiong's nose sore, and her tears fell like broken pearls.
"Oh! You kid..." Fang Liangyu hugged her into his arms again: "Don't cry, Zu Nainai feels sorry for you!"
