After Wu Zunye, Sun Lai, Chen Yuannan and others gathered together, they unexpectedly discovered that among the people who came to attend the Tianchen meeting this time, no one from the Wu family came, which made him greatly surprised.
According to the previous arrangement, his son Wu Zhen will join him at Tianchen Sect with his troops.
"Why didn't Wu Zhen come over?"
Wu Zun asked Chen Yuannan.
At this time, Wu Zun still didn't know that the Wu clan had been purged, but now was not the time to deal with Wu Zun, because this was the Tianchen Sect after all, and family scandals could not be made public.
Zhou Qian’s arrangement is to wait until Wu Zun and Wu Zheng return to Qingyuan Gate before handling the matter.
"Replying to Uncle Junior! Junior Brother Wu changed his mind before departure and said he was not going to attend the Tianchen Meeting. The specific reason is not clear."
Chen Yuannan said perfunctorily.
When Wu Zun heard this, he frowned, feeling a little annoyed that Wu Zhen had taken matters into his own hands and was unaware of the big changes that had occurred within the sect.
If he hadn't learned about Zhao Jing, Wu Zhen was one of the masterminds, and Li Zhen owned the Earth Doll, Zhou Qian would never have touched the Wu family now just to be on the safe side.
Wu Zhen didn't come, and Chen Yuannan didn't know the reason. There was no point in delving into it. Wu Zun's attention turned to Zhou Qian and Li Zhen, and asked: "Where's Lao Zhou? I heard that Zhen'er's realm has been greatly improved? This time Tianchen will definitely do it.
Make a splash.”
Chen Yuannan twitched the corner of his mouth and pretended to be calm and said: "Uncle Zhou and Zhen'er were also here, but something went wrong along the way. Zhen'er gave up on participating, and Master Zhou was in a bad mood. He has been locked up in his room for the past few days without seeing anyone else."
When Wu Zun and Wu Zheng heard this, they smiled imperceptibly.
"Oh?! But what happened?"
"I don't know either."
Chen Yuannan said something perfunctory again, and then said: "Uncle Master and Zheng'er have just arrived, so they must be tired. Why not take a rest first and wash away the dust."
"That's fine."
Wu Zun nodded and immediately led Wu Zheng down to rest. After the two left, Chen Yuannan went to meet Zhou Qian. At this time, Li Zhen was also in Zhou Qian's room.
"Wu Zun and Wu Zheng are here?"
Zhou Qian asked.
"Here he comes! He also asked about Zhen'er. Apparently he knew about the ghost ghost ancestor who came to kill Li Zhen. He wanted to confirm it, but I sent him away. But looking at the expressions of the grandfather and grandson, he thought that Zhen'er had suffered something bad.
.”
Chen Yuannan snorted coldly and said.
"They believe that there is nothing wrong with Zhen'er's death. After all, it was a powerful person from the ground who took action."
Zhou Qian arranged: "In addition to us, we also know about Zhen'er's situation, as well as the Tianchen Sect and Tiannan Sect. Send someone to inform you, and the information is blocked and cannot be disclosed. As for their grandfather and grandson, just let him continue to dance around for a few days.
I will deal with it after I return to the sect."
"Don't worry, uncle! My nephew understands and has already sent people to inform the two factions."
Li Zhen interrupted at this time: "Since their grandson is here, I have to be careful. After all, they are very familiar with the disciples of our sect. The appearance of a strange face on me will inevitably arouse suspicion. I will not be able to go out these two days."
"
Grandpa and Master expressed their understanding and approval.
········································
In the afternoon of that day, Tianchen Sect held an elders meeting.
In addition to the elders of the Tianchen Sect, the palace masters and elders from the Worshiping Moon Palace who came to attend the Tianchen Meeting also attended the meeting.
The two factions have a very close relationship and can be considered a family.
"This is a meeting where everyone needs to vote. There is an important matter to vote on."
After meeting Zhou Qian and Li Zhen last night, the leaders of Tianchen Sect have made a decision, but this matter still needs to be discussed in the elders' meeting.
"Oh?! I don't know why we attach so much importance to it that we actually need to convene a meeting of elders."
A middle-aged beautiful woman asked curiously.
She is Jian Bing, the master of the Moon Worshiping Palace. She has cultivated the status of a human immortal. When she was young, she was also a famous beauty in the spiritual world. Although she is older now, her charm is still there and she is still a beauty.
Not only Jian Bing was confused, but other elders who did not attend last night's meeting were also curious.
"The thing is like this, last night Senior Zhou Qian from the Qingyuan Sect came to see us with His Highness Zhen, and proposed that we support His Highness Zhen in inheriting the throne, and..."
Sect Master Lu will inform everyone in detail about what happened last night and the conversation.
As soon as he finished speaking, the elders started talking with different expressions.
"Junior sister, I want to ask, has Senior Brother Lu already made a decision?!"
Jian Bing is a smart woman and asked, staring at Sect Master Lu.
"Since we can't stay out of the matter, after all things considered, supporting His Highness Zhen is definitely the best choice now. And relying on the strength of your two factions, we will definitely have a pivotal position in His Highness Zhen's system in the future."
Sect Leader Lu didn't hide it, he spoke straightforwardly.
None of the people present were stupid. Li Zhen had the cards to overthrow the prince and the queen, and he was assisted by two strong men from the realm. These alone were enough for Tianchen Sect and Moon Worshiping Palace to seek refuge.
"If you have any different opinions, feel free to tell us."
Sect Leader Lu glanced at the elders and asked.
"I have no objection!"
"No objection, I am willing to respect the sect master's leadership!"
"I have no objection."
"…………"
The elders of Tianchenhui quickly unified their opinions. In fact, there was nothing they could do if they disagreed. After all, they were not the powerful elders. The powerful elders all approved it last night, so their objections were meaningless.
Sect Leader Lu immediately focused his attention on Jian Bing again.
The two families share the same spirit, and the Tianchen Sect still attaches great importance to the opinions of the Moon Worship Palace.
"I have no objection. The advantages of supporting His Highness Zhen outweigh the disadvantages."
As soon as Jian Bing opened her mouth, the elders below had no objection, but what she said next was somewhat unexpected.
"Since we have decided to support His Highness Zhen, it is better to tie them together completely to maximize the benefits."
"Oh? What do you think, junior sister?"
Jian Bing said: "I mean marriage."
"His Royal Highness Zhen is not married yet, so it is better to marry her and strengthen the relationship. When his mother married the current Holy Emperor, she put aside the emotional factors and wanted to bring greater benefits to the Qingyuan Sect."
This idea was something no one had thought of, but it was indeed a good idea and everyone agreed.
"Just junior sister, do you have anyone to choose?"
"Yes! My little apprentice happens to be the same age as His Highness Zhen. His character, appearance, and talent are all the best among men. He will be a good match."
Jian Bing said.
"I wonder if your little apprentice would agree to this? After all, forceful melons are not sweet."
"Senior brother, there is no need to worry about this matter, let me convince you."
When Lu Zong heard this, he said no more.
As a result, the Presbyterian Church passed its support for Li Zhen and the marriage plan.
After the meeting, Jian Bing summoned his youngest disciple Meng Bingqi.
Meng Bingqi is a well-known beauty in the Chinese spiritual world. She is as beautiful as a fairy and as pure as ice. She is also known as the 'Ice Fairy' because of her withdrawn personality, few words and avoidance of strangers.
"Disciple meets Master!"
Meng Bingqi was dressed in white, with hibiscus coming out of the water, and her voice was clear and sweet.
Jian Bing looked at her favorite and proudest disciple and nodded with satisfaction.
"The Tianchen Sect and the Moon Worshiping Palace will change their stance and support the Thirteenth Prince Li Zhen's ascension to the throne. In order to strengthen the relationship, I have decided to betroth you to the Thirteenth Prince Li Zhen. Are you willing?!"
When Meng Bingqi heard this, her delicate body trembled.
She is smart and instantly understood that this was a political marriage.
The master seemed to be asking for her opinion, but in fact he had already made a decision. However, if she firmly opposed it, the master would definitely not embarrass her too much. But when she thought of the great kindness that the master had shown her, the words of rejection came to her lips, but she
Can't tell.
"You don't want to? If you don't want to, just pretend that the teacher didn't say anything."
Seeing Meng Bingqi's hesitation, Jian Bing said in a negotiable tone.
"Disciple...disciple is willing to obey master's arrangements."
Even though Meng Bingqi had a thousand or ten thousand reluctances in her heart, she just couldn't say it out in front of her master.
Seeing this, Jian Bing nodded with satisfaction and said comfortingly: "Although you have never met Li Zhen, you must have heard about him. He is an absolute best among men. You and him are really a good match. Although these few days
He has been out of power for many years, but now he has turned around and is almost certain to inherit the throne. In the future, if you stay with him, you will be given the position of a noble concubine, and with the support of his master, it is not impossible for him to be the master of the world."
Meng Bingqi's inner turmoil gradually calmed down, and she nodded expressionlessly.
"From now on, just follow Master's arrangements for everything."
The relationship between Jian Bing and her is like mother and daughter. Jian Bing cannot understand Meng Bingqi's current state of mind. From Jian Bing's point of view, marrying Meng Bingqi to Li Zhen will be beneficial to the sect and will also be a happy thing for her in the future.
.
After all, not everyone has the opportunity to have a mother-in-law.
Meng Bingqi doesn't understand it now, but when she becomes more mature, she will definitely understand her master's good intentions.
Jian Bing and Meng Bingqi had some more intimate words, and then Meng Bingqi left on the grounds that she would not disturb her master's rest.
Meng Bingqi has a cold temperament, and she doesn't show much on the surface, but in reality she feels suppressed and uncomfortable in her heart, which is a pity and there is nothing she can do about it.
Meng Bingqi is an orphan. She was raised by her master since she was a child. She is called master and apprentice, just like mother and daughter.
Since she was little, her master has never asked her for anything. Now, for the first time, she has asked her to marry Li Zhen. No matter what the purpose, the kindness of raising and teaching comes first, how can she refuse?
······································
The next day, the much-anticipated Tianchen Meeting was held as scheduled.
The seven major sects of China and more than thirty second- and third-rate sects gathered together, and many casual cultivators also came to participate. It was very lively.
However, Li Zhen did not have the opportunity to see such a lively scene, because at the same time as the conference was being held, he and his grandfather came to the Tianchen Sect's meeting hall again, waiting in advance for the Tianchen Sect's people to arrive and inform them of the decision.
"Zhen'er! It's a pity that you won't attend this conference."
Grandpa said regretfully.
The Tianchen Conference is the highest honor stage for the younger generation in the Chinese spiritual world. As a top being of the younger generation, Li Zhen should have shined in the conference.
"It's just a false name, nothing to be sorry for."
Li Zhen said indifferently: "With my grandson's current strength, only the Three Tribulations Human Immortal can be my opponent. It's really not interesting for me to fight against a group of Baiqiao and my peers at the first level of Zhenyuan. Moreover, I'm a bit too familiar with it."
The big one bullies the small ones."
When grandpa heard this, he burst into laughter.
What Li Zhen said is true. The opponent is too weak, and it is indeed difficult for people to ignite the fighting spirit.
"Your stage is definitely not limited to China. Grandpa really hopes to see you achieve greater achievements, but I don't know if there is a chance."
Grandpa sighed.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? With your current state, I'm afraid it won't be long before you will be promoted to the Earth Realm and become the first Earth Realm strongman since the founding of China. Besides, my grandson will still need your support in the future.
He Tidian, I can never live without you."
Li Zhen actually had a plan in mind for a long time. He wanted to help his grandfather advance to the realm, but it was extremely difficult. Li Zhen didn't have a clue yet. If it really didn't work, he would go to Wuyou Island to ask for help from Senior Jiang and Senior Wan. He would definitely use two methods.
As a senior, I should be able to point out a clear path.
As he was talking, footsteps sounded outside the hall. A moment later, Sect Leader Lu walked into the hall with a group of powerful elders from the sect, accompanied by people from the Moon Worshiping Palace. Previously, Sect Leader Lu had gone to preside over the ceremony of Tianchenhui.
After the two parties met, there was not much nonsense. Sect Master Lu said straightforwardly: "After careful consideration of the opinions you gave the day before yesterday, we decided to support His Highness Zhen."
Grandpa Zhou Qian and Li Zhen didn't have much joy on their faces, which was expected.
"Thank you so much for the love from both groups!"
Li Zhen saluted respectfully and expressed his gratitude.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhen took out the method of opening ten acupoints and said: "In order to express the gratitude of the juniors, I would like to send you a small gift. I hope that the seniors will be satisfied."
Sect Master Lu took it in his hand and opened it to see that it was a method of opening ten acupoints. He immediately became energetic.
Everyone saw the solemn look on Sect Master Lu's face. The gift must be heavy, so they couldn't help but wonder what it was.
The Tianchen Sect has been a sect for thousands of years, but it only has the ability to open fifty-five orifices. Li Zhen gave ten orifices at once. This gift was really too heavy.
Sect Leader Lu must be satisfied, because this will be of great help to the sect, and since both parties are tied to the same front, this gift can be accepted with peace of mind.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness. I am ashamed to accept it."
The people below saw their sect leader taking matters so seriously, and their curiosity was aroused again. When sect leader Lu passed on the method of the Ten Apertures to the people below, everyone was immediately shocked.
Palace Master Jian's eyes sparkled, and she was sure that marrying her favorite disciple Meng Bingqi to Li Zhen was the best decision.
"While supporting His Highness, our faction hopes to deepen our relationship with His Highness, so..."
Sect Master Lu is ready to negotiate terms. This is what Li Zhen expected. He can't support it in vain, can he?
"Since we are a family, it's okay for Sect Master Lu to speak frankly."
Sect Leader Lu smiled slightly and said: "Junior Sister Jian has a disciple named Meng Bingqi. She is naturally beautiful and possesses both political integrity and talent. She is the most outstanding disciple among the two sects. I would like to betroth Qi to Your Highness and get married.
What do you think, Your Highness?"
Li Zhen agreed without hesitation: "Why not? This is an honor for the younger generation!"
Zhou Qian stood aside and said nothing.
Li Zhen knew Meng Bingqi a little bit, and could be said to be the most proud disciple of the Moon Worshiping Palace. The other party took her out to betrothed to him, but they spent a lot of money, which shows that they have made great determination in supporting him.
Marriage is a common and most effective political method. Li Zhen grew up in the palace and has long been accustomed to this kind of thing. As for whether the two have feelings for each other, this is the most irrelevant thing.
