Betrothal is a very particular matter and cannot be taken carelessly. In order to show respect for the girl's parents, it must be solemn and the betrothal gift cannot be too casual.
After all, the Chen family was a noble family in the Middle Ages. It was divided into eight main lines, seventy-two branches, and countless foreign families and generals.
I don't know how many clan members are paying attention to the marriage between Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at it. If the betrothal gift sent by Zhang Ruochen is not substantial enough, the clan members of the Chen family will probably laugh at Huang Yanchen's parents.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen takes this marriage very seriously and is not stingy at all, so the betrothal gift must be generous no matter what.
Knowing that Zhang Ruochen was going to be hired by the Chen family, friends and relatives from all walks of life gathered at Zhang Ruochen's mansion the night before to help Zhang Ruochen decorate the wedding room and mansion.
Si Xingkong and Chang Qiqi were the first to arrive. The two of them had a very good relationship with Zhang Ruochen. From Tianmo Ridge to the Holy Court, they were all close friends who were like brothers.
Although Zhang Ruochen's current cultivation level was far beyond theirs, he didn't show any pretense. Hearing that they were already outside, he went out to greet them in person.
Zhang Ruochen saw Si Xingkong and Chang Qiqi from a distance, and shouted: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother Chang, your information is really well-informed. You know so quickly that I will go to the Chen family to hire someone tomorrow?"
Compared with when he first came to the Holy City of the Eastern Territory, Si Xingkong did not change much. He still looked very free and easy, with a wine gourd hanging on his waist and a smile on his lips.
He looked like an alcoholic, but he was still stable and said: "First of all, we are brothers. Secondly, we are all far away from home and came to the Holy City of the Eastern Region to work hard. We should support each other. You want to get married.
, we are definitely coming to help.”
Chang Qiqi also smiled and said: "That's right, although senior brother and I can't do anything big or be of much help, we can still do a good job in helping you move boxes and give betrothal gifts. Junior Brother Zhang, don't you
Will you dislike us?"
Zhang Ruochen knew that Chang Qiqi was joking, but Zhang Ruochen still kept their thoughts in mind and said sincerely: "Thank you two senior brothers."
Si Xingkong walked to Zhang Ruochen and whispered: "Never say thank you, even if you do, we are thanking you. We have already received the Xuanwu Qi you asked Miss Kong Xuan to send. It is so precious.
Senior brother doesn’t know how to express his gratitude for the gift.”
"Just one word, from now on, no matter when, no matter where I am, with just one word from junior brother, I, Si Xingkong, will go up to the mountains of swords and into the sea of fire without any hesitation."
When Si Xingkong said this, his tone was very firm, and his eyes were like two flames, as if he was making an oath.
Chang Qiqi also put away her smile, looked seriously, and said: "Plus me."
Si Xingkong and Chang Qiqi are both loyal people, and if they can get a promise from them, the value of it is definitely more precious than tens of millions of spiritual crystals.
Outside the gate, a deep voice sounded, "What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?"
"Whoosh!"
A burly divine shadow formed a series of afterimages and shuttled in from outside the door.
Lei Jing walked down the stone steps with his hands behind his back, his steps were steady and his momentum was overwhelming. There were faint wisps of holy energy pouring out from his pores.
With every step he took, the spiritual energy under his feet spread out in all directions like water patterns.
Zhang Ruochen, Si Xingkong, and Chang Qiqi immediately came forward to greet him.
Zhang Ruochen just glanced at Lei Jing and saw that five holy veins had opened up in Lei Jing's body, and he had reached the eighth transformation of fish and dragon.
There is only one step left to cultivate into a glazed treasure body.
Zhang Ruochen clasped his hands together, bowed and said, "Meet the Master."
Si Xingkong and Chang Qiqi also immediately bowed and said in unison: "Greetings to Lord Lei Pavilion."
Lei Jing's tiger eyes were fixed on Zhang Ruochen, and he nodded. The serious look on his face disappeared in an instant, and he revealed a smile: "You kid, you have become a disciple of the Sword Master, and you are still willing to recognize me as your master."
?”
"Being a teacher for one day is a teacher for life," Zhang Ruochen said.
Just now, Lei Jing just made a joke with Zhang Ruochen. After all, he also received the Xuanwu Qi from Zhang Ruochen and knew that Zhang Ruochen was a filial child and had not forgotten his roots.
With the Xuanwu Qi, Lei Jing has hope of reaching the semi-saint realm in his lifetime.
Lei Jing's expression became solemn and he said: "I just learned the news that just two days ago, the gods resonated again on the battlefield of the Ruins Realm."
Si Xingkong was a little surprised and said: "How long has it been since Junior Brother Zhang reached the supreme realm of Tianji Realm? Is there anyone else who has reached the supreme realm of Tianji Realm?"
Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked tentatively: "Is it Di Yi?"
Lei Ding nodded and said: "It is the young master of the Black Market First Grade Hall, Di Yi. It is said that after he broke through to the Supreme Realm of Tianji Realm, he returned to the Eastern Region under the escort of the Black Market Saint. Zhang Ruochen, this pair
This is very bad news for you."
Chang Qiqi snorted coldly and said, "Could it be that he dares to go to the Holy City of the Eastern Region to cause trouble?"
"Di Yi is a man who has both strategy and courage. He might actually take action." Si Xingkong said.
Lei Jing was also a little worried and said: "Zhang Ruochen killed the Yellow God Star Envoy, captured the Orange Moon Star Envoy, and even the outside world attributed the death of the Green-robed Star Envoy to him."
"It can be said that the Black Market First Grade Hall has lost all face in the hands of Zhang Ruochen. If they don't seek bad luck from Zhang Ruochen, can they still be called the Black Market First Grade Hall?"
"Obviously, it is a good opportunity for Zhang Ruochen to get married on the seventh day of this month. Even if the black market pays some price, it is definitely to get his face back."
"It is said that some evil powerful men of the older generation have made harsh words to kill Zhang Ruochen and take away the bride on the day of Zhang Ruochen's wedding. They want Zhang Ruochen to pay for his debt with blood, and to repay everyone's debt."
Si Xingkong snorted coldly, clenched his fists, and said: "A group of arrogant people actually want to come to the Holy City of the Eastern Region to rob people. It is too lawless."
Chang Qiqi stared at Zhang Ruochen and said: "Junior Brother Zhang, you don't have to worry. In the Holy City of the Eastern Region, evil warriors from the black market are not yet rampant."
Zhang Ruochen was not afraid at all, but he was not completely worried. He said: "Although the Holy City in the Eastern Region is relatively safe, the black market is huge and has a long history in the Kunlun world. The undercover agents they trained have already infiltrated
It can be said that it is deeply rooted within the major forces, so we’d better try to be more careful.”
That night, a family banquet was held at Zhang Ruochen's residence.
Among the guests present, in addition to Si Xingkong, Chang Qiqi, and Lei Jing, there are also monks from the Luo Sheng clan represented by Luo Shuihan, monks from the Divine Sword Holy Land represented by Lu Fantian, and deputy commanders of the Yinkong Mercenary Group.
Group leader Nie Honglou..., etc.
It was just a family dinner, so it was not considered grand. It was mainly the younger generation gathering, and the older generation of monks did not show up.
At the banquet, Zhang Ruochen saw many familiar friends, but he was the only one who failed to see Duanmu Xingling.
He had already inquired that the Duanmu Star Spirit had left the Holy City in the Eastern Territory a few months ago and had not returned.
For some reason, Zhang Ruochen still felt a little disappointed.
After all, among all the senior brothers and sisters, Duanmu Xingling had the best relationship with him.
Although Duanmu Xingling is a member of the Demon Cult, Zhang Ruochen has always regarded her as his confidante.
Zhang Ruochen knew very well that the reason why Duanmu Xingling left the Holy City of the Eastern Territory was because she was entrusted by Zhang Ruochen to protect the ninth princess of Yunwu County and Zhang Shaochu.
For several months, Duanmu Xingling did not return to the Holy City of the Eastern Region. Is it because the masters sent to Yunwu County by the black market are too strong, or is she deliberately avoiding the wedding of Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen?

…………
There is a spiritual mountain suspended in the sky above the seventh city district.
Lingshan Mountain is a hundred feet away from the ground, and wisps of white mist are like cloud bridges surrounding Lingshan Mountain. Looking up from the ground, you can vaguely see that there seem to be vermilion palaces and lofts in the white mist.
film.
At this moment, Di Yi was wearing a white robe and a metal mask on his face, standing on the edge of Lingshan, staring at the lights of thousands of families below with a pair of clear eyes.
Finally, his gaze was fixed on Mingwang Street, Zhang Ruochen's residence.
Di Yi's voice was full of magnetism and he smiled: "Qingyi, look at Zhang Ruochen's mansion. It's really brightly lit and bustling. Even I want to join in the fun."
The green-robed star envoy stood behind Di Yi, holding a sword. His slender figure cast a long reflection in the moonlight.
She said: "Young master can't wait to fight Zhang Ruochen?"
The corners of Di Yi's mouth turned up slightly and he said, "It is a good thing to be born in the same era as Zhang Ruochen."
"If it weren't for his stimulation, I might not be able to cultivate into the Wuxin Saint Body. If it weren't for his oppression, I might not be able to reach the supreme realm of the Heavenly Realm."
"He is like a whetstone, able to sharpen my knife sharper and sharper."
The green-clad star envoy said: "It's a pity that he is not from the black market. Otherwise, he would probably become the young master's best friend."
Emperor Yi was quite proud, looking up at the crescent moon hanging in the sky, and said: "Today, there is not a single person worthy of being my friend. There are only six people worthy of being my enemy, and he is one of the most important."
one."
The star envoy in green asked curiously: "What are the identities of the other five?"
"Those five people, some of them, you probably know their names, but there are others, you may not have even heard of their names. However, their talents are not inferior to mine and Zhang Ruochen." Di Yi said with a smile.
"Tomorrow, Zhang Ruochen will go to the Chen family to hire someone. The day after tomorrow is the day they officially get married. As an enemy, I have to go and congratulate you. Are you ready for the gift I want to give to Zhang Ruochen?"
The expression of the star envoy in green changed slightly, and he quickly knelt down on one knee and said: "Young Master, please forgive me, Yunwu County has encountered some troubles. The experts sent there have all disappeared, and none of them can return alive. Action...
