Zhang Heng followed Ming Xin to Elder Cui's house.
Elder Cui's cave belongs to the Water Mansion and is located on Yaochi Lake.
White jade stone piles hold the water house above the lake. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of the lake water flowing under the wooden boards under your feet.
"I heard you were released from confinement."
"It just so happens that I have been sorting out my experience during this time and got an alchemy manual. You can take it and have a look."
Elder Cui sat in the water pavilion and took out a pamphlet while talking.
Zhang Heng took it respectfully.
Without waiting to look through the pages, Elder Cui spoke again: "How is your cultivation now?"
Zhang Heng thought about the cultivation levels of Yun Lingzhi and others.
Yun Lingzhi is the fifth level of Nascent Soul.
Cui Min and the eldest lady are both at the fourth level of Nascent Soul.
His words didn't need to be too high-spirited, so he said: "Besides refining the elixir, the disciple is also diligent in his practice. He is not far from the fourth level of Nascent Soul."
"good."
Elder Cui was very satisfied: "You are an alchemy master. You have to spend a certain amount of time on the alchemy path every day. In this way, your cultivation has not fallen behind. It shows that you have a high talent. If you focus on cultivation, I think Yun Lingzhi can't compare to you.
.”
I heard Elder Cui say that he was more powerful than Yun Lingzhi.
Zhang Heng thought of Cui Min, and for a moment his anus tightened, and he evaded: "It can't be calculated like this. I am an alchemy master and have endless cultivation resources. Although I have to spend time on the alchemy path, Yun Lingzhi also has to spend time on the alchemy path every day.
He spent a lot of time to earn resources, and spent almost the same amount of time on cultivation, but my cultivation level is not as good as his, so naturally I am slightly behind him."
Hear this.
Elder Cui was even more satisfied: "Today's young people have some skills and wish that everyone in the world would know about them, but you are different. I have never heard that you can be called gentle when you fight with others."
"You were originally a slave of the Zhang family. The Zhang family raised you from a slave status to a monk status and allowed you to belong to the Zhang family. And you also treat the Zhang family's daughters like your own sisters. You have a good reputation."
"As your master, I haven't given you much advice, but you have never complained, so you should be respectful."
"Among the inner sect, there are not many people worth more than you, but you wear plain clothes all year round, don't value luxury, and don't even buy a mount, so you can be called frugal."
"Finally, as a man of his generation, Yun Lingzhi is the best in the inner sect. Many people regard him as their target and idol. I praise you for being better than him. You can still uphold the humility of your heart, so you have to give in."
"Be kind, courteous, thrifty and yielding."
"Zhang Heng, you are very good. I did not misjudge you."
Well...
How should Zhang Heng answer?
When the other person is satisfied with you, your shortcomings are also your strengths.
When others are dissatisfied with you, it is a huge sin to fart.
Fortunately he said nothing.
Otherwise, after talking about it, Elder Cui made some guesses, and his eldest brother's qualifications may not have escaped.
"You and I, master and disciple, don't have to be so restrained. Come, sit down..."
Elder Cui pointed to the stone bench opposite the water pavilion.
Zhang Heng couldn't refuse, so he sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Elder Cui started talking: "Zhang Heng, what do you think of Cui Min?"
"Coming!"
Zhang Heng instantly became alert.
What I have been talking about for a long time is all nonsense, so let’s get to the point.
As for how to answer.
Zhang Heng thought about it again and again and said: "Miss Min is a righteous person and takes great care of us siblings. Especially her relationship with Yun Lingzhi, which is constantly being cut off and messed up, is really amazing. I wish I could have been married."
.”
Zhang Heng said while looking at Elder Cui.
Elder Cui did not agree with this statement, and shook his head and said: "Where did the love between gold and jade come from? As far as I know, girl Min has never taken Yun Lingzhi to her heart. Some of the rumors outside are not worthy of belief."
Said.
Elder Cui looked at him: "You are not young anymore. I have discussed it with all the ancestors and prepared..."
Before Elder Cui could continue, Zhang Heng interrupted: "Yun Lingzhi is extremely talented and has an unlimited future. In addition, he is devoted to Miss Min. If he can recruit a son-in-law who can take advantage of the dragon, the power of the Cui family will definitely rise to the next level."
Lou, I think we should give him a chance."
Was interrupted for a moment.
Elder Cui was a little displeased, but seeing Zhang Heng's sincerity, he patiently said, "He won't have a chance."
Zhang Heng looked like he was all ears.
Elder Cui explained: "You know one thing, but you don't know the other. The Cui family has been inherited for more than two thousand years. As an old family, we can not seek changes, but we must not lose stability."
"Yun Lingzhi, a reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill, how much value can he have?"
"Furthermore, Yun Lingzhi is currently entangled with the sect leader's lineage. If he marries Min girl to him, will he be towards our Cui family or the sect leader's lineage? There are many problems in this."
The tone paused slightly.
Elder Cui's eyes became softer: "Several ancestors have discussed it. Yun Lingzhi is expected to become a true immortal in the future. He is a sharp knife."
"It's just that the ancestors value you more than the sword."
"Whoever has no sword in the hands of the five major forces in Yaochi, one more sword is not much, and one less sword is not much, and the benefits it brings are limited."
"You are different."
"I called you here this time because I want to see what you want. If you are willing, we elders can make the decision for you."
Call the shots?
What to do?
Zhang Heng's smile gradually disappeared.
Who is Cui Min?
Women's clothing boss.
Although he is now practicing special skills and changing from male to female, in fact... he may have been bigger than before.
"This is my idea, and several ancestors also agree with it."
"Of course, I also want to hear your thoughts. Coercion is not sweet, and family disputes cannot be tolerated."
Elder Cui said with a smile: "You can think about it. Girl Min is a direct descendant of my Cui family. If you marry her, the Cui family will fully support your rise to power. In the future, you can also fight for the position of Xianmen Daozi. How about becoming the king and ancestor?"
Not happy?"
Happy ghost.
Zhang Heng didn't need to think about this matter.
He is not Yun Lingzhi, who has a deep love for Cui Min.
He's not the Dragon King with a crooked mouth, he just likes to be abused and slapped in the face with a crooked mouth.
"Master, thank you for thinking of me."
"But I am a lighthearted person and cannot be a pillar. I am afraid I will let down your love."
Zhang Heng didn't even say he would consider it, but flatly refused.
Elder Cui did not expect that he would refuse so firmly, and said in a deep voice: "You should go back and think about it again."
"No need to think about it."
Zhang Heng's face was expressionless: "It's impossible for me and Cui Min. I appreciate your kindness."
"If you admit it, you will still be my master. If you don't, I respect you in my heart, but there is no need to mention Cui Min's matter anymore."
Elder Cui looked gloomy.
He thought Zhang Heng would refuse.
But I never expected that the rejection would be so complete, leaving no room for maneuver.
"Master, I'm leaving first."
Zhang Henggong cupped his hands, turned around and left.
He knew what the Cui family meant, but because he saw his extraordinary alchemy skills, he wanted to tie him to the Cui family's chariot through marriage.
But the Cui family underestimated him.
He does not need to depend on anyone, nor does he need anyone's support.
If the Cui family thought he would give in, they were totally wrong.
A man is born between heaven and earth.
How can you stay depressed and depressed for a long time?
