After years of devoted practice in Taoism, the appearance of the young man in black in Wuzhou City in the past has actually become somewhat blurry.
I once thought that I and him were already two people from two different worlds. After the young man realized this, he would laugh at himself for being young and frivolous at that time, so he would leave his unrealistic fantasies behind and go down to earth.
Take his own path in life.
The two have nothing to do with each other since then. A hundred years later, the young man turned into a cup of loess, and how far can he go on the road of spiritual cultivation?
Murong Yanran once thought so, but at this moment, the young man's declaration sounded in her mind again, with unprecedented clarity.
"Miss Murong, I have a message for you. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Don't bully young people into poverty!"
"In three years, I will look for you!"
It was more than clear. She contacted Master Tong Ling to tell her about the current situation of Xiao Yan and the Xuanmen Tianzong. Xiao Yan's declaration that day was weighing on Murong Yanran's heart like a mountain of tack, making her breathless.
a feeling of.
Master Tong Ling looked at Murong Yanran who was in a daze. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, there is still a way to solve it."
Murong Yanran's eyes suddenly glowed, and she hurriedly grabbed the corner of Tong Ling's clothes: "Master, what can I do?"
Seeing her expression like a drowning person grasping for life-saving straws, Master Tong Ling turned his head and did not dare to look directly into Murong Yanran's eyes.
"Prince Chongyun of the Qin Dynasty will choose a concubine recently. This is an opportunity for you."
Murong Yanran opened her eyes wide: "Master..."
Master Tong Ling sighed in her heart. When Patriarch Qing Ai just proposed this plan, she was also shocked.
The intention of Patriarch Qing Ai was to marry Murong Yanran to Prince Chongyun of the Qin Dynasty before Xiao Yan came to challenge him, and then it would be tantamount to transferring the conflict between Murong Yanran and Xiao Yan from Liuguang Sword Sect to Chongyun.
On the prince.
The Great Qin Dynasty was indeed not as centralized as the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the Great Qin, the four major families had a high say and controlled a large amount of resources. At the same time, Shushan Sword Sect, Liuguang Sword Sect and other sects also monopolized many resources.
However, the royal family of the Great Qin Dynasty was not weak, and still had a high level of control over the territory of the Great Qin. There was a relationship of competition and interdependence between the same families and sects.
Murong Yanran married Prince Chongyun. She was not an ordinary concubine, but a concubine second only to the crown prince.
If Xiao Yan dares to come to look for trouble at this time, he may face the pressure of the entire Qin Dynasty.
Especially when the Xuanmen Tianzong rose strongly and seemed to be connected with the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was even easier to touch the nerves of all forces in the Great Qin Dynasty.
This huge power is far superior to the Flowing Light Sword Sect.
Ancestor Qing Ai thought proudly: "Not to mention Xiao Yan, even Lin Feng, the master of Xuanmen, doesn't dare to do anything wrong, so he can only suffer this embarrassing loss."
The only thing that needs to be worried is whether Prince Chongyun is willing to be the successor, and whether the Liuguang Sword Sect will offend the heir to the Qin Dynasty by using him as a spearman.
When Master Tong Ling raised this question, Patriarch Qing Ai just said calmly: "Just do as the teacher tells you. You don't need to ask about the rest of the matter. I have my own opinion."
How could he not have thought about the questions raised by Master Tong Ling? They were just some secrets in the Flowing Light Sword Sect. Master Tong Ling didn’t know about them, only they, the ancestors at the Nascent Soul level, knew about them.
Long before he went to Shazhou to attend the founding ceremony of the Xuanmen Tianzong, the leader of the Liuguang Sword Sect and the elders of the sect had already made a decision to adjust the future course and policy of the Liuguang Sword Sect to become closer to the Qin Dynasty.
Marrying Murong Yanran this time can deepen the connection between the Liuguang Sword Sect and the Great Qin Dynasty. It is a killing two birds with one stone. With the Liuguang Sword Sect as a whole getting closer, Prince Chongyun will naturally make a decision in his heart.
These matters can even be discussed openly and honestly before marriage, so Patriarch Qing Ai is not worried that Prince Chongyun will be dissatisfied.
What he now wants to plan is how to make Murong Yanran really become the crown prince's concubine. As far as he knows, there are still many people eyeing this position.
Ancestor Qing Ai said calmly: "You don't need to worry about other things. Go talk to Yanran and let her be prepared."
Master Tong Ling looked at the shocked Murong Yanran in front of him, thought of the instructions given by Patriarch Qing Ai, sighed secretly, and said: "Yanran, you don't need to worry, you are marrying into the royal family this time, and you are the concubine of Crown Prince Chongyun. Your status is second only to
Princess."
"And you have your master's backing, so you don't have to worry about being bullied."
Murong Yanran was so stunned that she couldn't speak. She just looked at Master Tong Ling with strange eyes, as if it was the first day she met her mentor.
Master Tong Ling hardened his heart and said, "Could it be that, seeing that Xiao Yan has soared into the sky, you want to renew your relationship with him?"
Murong Yanran's eyes moved, and her expression finally returned to calm. Her eyes were a little cold: "Whether it is Xiao Yan, who was a good-for-nothing back then, or Xiao Yan, who has regained the reputation of a genius now, breaking off the engagement is my choice. I have no complaints and no regrets."
regret."
"What about your marriage to Prince Chongyun?" Master Tong Ling asked immediately.
Murong Yanran looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the cave, and said lightly: "Everything is entirely up to Master."
"It's good if you can think about it." Master Tong Ling patted Murong Yanran on the shoulder and left the cave. She knew that her disciple needed to calm down.
Murong Yanran was the only one left in the cave. She closed her eyes gently and sat motionless.
After a long time, she opened her red lips and said, "Master, I'm sorry."
My life should be my own decision! I don’t need to have my life arranged by others!
Murong Yanran opened her eyes, with a self-deprecating smile on her face: "Prince's side concubine? So noble, but I don't care about it! If I let others arrange and choose a husband for me, why would I refuse the engagement with Xiao Yan in the past?
"
She jumped up, packed her things briefly, and then left the cave with a calm and calm expression. She walked on the road and greeted her fellow disciples as usual, very naturally.
Half an hour later, Master Tong Ling received the news that Murong Yanran had come down the mountain.
"Idiot, idiot!" Master Tong Ling cursed secretly and wanted to report to Patriarch Qing Ai, but hesitated before leaving.
Perhaps because they are both women, she has a natural resistance to Patriarch Qing Ai's decision.
Master Tong Ling shook his head and sighed: "I still have to report to my ancestor after all. The most I can do is buy you a little more time. Disciple, this is the only thing that master can do for you."
Master Tong Ling soon regretted it. When she reported the news to Patriarch Qing Ai, she clearly saw that the usually calm old man was trembling slightly.
"Go and find... we must find this evil disciple!" Ancestor Qing Ai completely lost his composure, all his previous gentleness and kindness disappeared, and he suddenly burst out into a roar.
Master Tong Ling looked at him in shock: "Master, in the end..."
Patriarch Qing Ai was breathing heavily, like a bellows, and he said in a muffled voice: "I just contacted Prince Chongyun, and Prince Chongyun has already expressed that he will come to Xingyun Peak in person to discuss the matter!"
Master Tong Ling was shocked: "So fast..." She did not dare to say any more because she found that the eyes of Patriarch Qing Ai had turned red, and she quickly left and went to look for Murong Yanran.
It took a long time for Patriarch Qing Ai to regain his breath, and his old face was completely wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.
This time he was completely overjoyed and sad. He thought that Murong Yanran would be overjoyed when he got the news that she was marrying Prince Chongyun.
Unexpectedly, Murong Yanran even gave up being the crown prince's concubine and ran away directly. Before Qing Ai Patriarch could stabilize Murong Yanran, he contacted Prince Chongyun first. The result was a complete tragedy.
If Murong Yanran, the bride, runs away, it will bring extremely terrible consequences.
Not to mention that Prince Chongyun was let go, and Xiao Yan came to challenge but no one came to see him. Now the pressure from both sides was entirely on the Liuguang Sword Sect.
It even happened to him, Qing Ai.
That's what it means to shoot oneself in the foot.
Ancestor Qing Ai instantly felt that the entire world in front of him had turned into black and white.
"We must capture that girl!"

On Yujing Mountain, Zhu Yi took the new version of the textbook and continued teaching. The little boy was eager to have fun and followed him there.
Yang Qing stayed in the Medicine Valley to take care of the spiritual herbs and elixirs. Although his Taiyin True Water did not combine all things like Tianyi True Water, it was also a spiritual spring flow that was beneficial to life and had a wonderful effect in irrigating the medicinal fields.
Yue Hongyan continued to study the Taoism. After practicing the Baguazhutian Daozang, she felt that her Taoism had improved again, and she believed that it would not be long before she could form an elixir cauldron.
Lin Feng sent away several apprentices, and his own consciousness entered a small world of the heavens.
In this world of purple energy, the little glutton Tuntun was circling anxiously. It was not only the anxiety caused by restricted freedom, but also a gluttonous person. Faced with delicious food in front of him, he couldn't help it.
Enjoy the rage.
Lin Feng's Zhou Tian Zi Qi, for Tuntun, was one of the most delicious concentrated things she had ever eaten in her life.
If she hadn't been dealt with by Lin Feng before, she would have swallowed up this small world made of Zhoutian's purple energy that trapped her.
Seeing Lin Feng coming, she snorted hard and curled her lips: "Big liar, when are you going to let me out? Also, are you going to keep all the delicious food you promised?"
Lin Feng also curled his lips: "The last sentence is the key point, right?"
Tuntun blushed, and then said fiercely: "So what? I'm a glutton!"
"Don't panic, don't panic." Lin Feng said with a smile: "The dawn is right in front of you."
With that said, Lin Feng stretched out his hand and pointed, and the purple energy that made up the small world of the heavens dispersed together, and the prison that imprisoned Tuntun was released.
Tuntun was stunned, and then cheered: "I am finally free!"
She landed on the ground, greedily breathed in the rich spiritual energy of Yujing Mountain, looked at Yujing Mountain, her eyes suddenly straightened: "That's great!"
