"It's my dear brother, you're here, you're so far away from us!"
"Sister, I'm late! I hope my dear brother won't worry about it!"
The voice of Sun Hongyao came from outside the hall! Immediately afterwards, an old woman with a red face and a red robe, embroidered with colorful peonies, and holding a mahogany crutch strode in from the door.
"What the hell! Sister, as the only foundation-building master of the Sun family, you must be entangled in many things. It is understandable that you can't get away from things for a while!"
Chen Yuqian spat out a few words from his mouth calmly.
At first glance, this sounds okay, but this deep thought is Chen Yuqian's criticism that Sun Hongyao is the only one in the Sun family who is a foundation-builder.
Sun Hongyao was also an old man, so he couldn't understand the meaning of these words. However, he had to lower his head under the eaves. Although he was very angry in his heart, he still had a smile on his face.
When Sun Hongyao walked into the hall, when he saw Chen Yuqian with strong magical power, his eyes shrank, his pupils dilated, and then he said:
"Congratulations to my dear brother for breaking through the sixth level of foundation building. From now on, there is hope for the Purple Mansion!"
At this time, Sun Hongyao also felt a sense of sadness welling up in her heart, thinking that she had been practicing for one hundred and eighty years, and so far she was only at the sixth level of foundation building. Chen Yuqian was still more than twenty years younger than her, and his previous cultivation level was even higher than his. She was one level lower, and now when we met again, her cultivation power was not weaker than hers at all.
And she has been trapped in the sixth level of foundation building for more than 20 years. In addition, her clan has limited resources and does not have the skills of the Zifu level. She will probably stop at this level of foundation building in this life.
Thinking of this, she also felt a sense of loss in her heart.
I thought that she had tried so hard to stay in the Sun family, but she didn't expect that she would only live dozens of years longer than her sister Sun Hongyu!
It only took a moment for her to cheer up again. After all, she is no longer the little girl back then. She is the person with the highest cultivation level in the Sun family. She has the entire Sun family behind her, and she still has to plan a lot for the Sun family.
Sun Hongyao walked to the top of the hall and sat down, and then exchanged greetings with Chen Yuqian.
Then Sun Hongyao said with a smile:
"Brother, I didn't know you came here to make peace!"
"Sister, I am here to promote a good relationship!"
As he spoke, Chen Yuqian was stroking his beard with a proud look.
"oh!"
"I don't know which good relationship my dear brother is talking about. Can you tell me so that my eldest sister can also listen?"
After Chen Yuqian opened his mouth, Sun Hongyao knew that the person coming was evil.
"Zhifang, Zhiyu haven't come forward to pay homage to your aunt!"
Chen Yuqian ordered the two brothers Chen Zhifang.
"My grandson pays homage to his aunt!"
The two of them stood up after hearing Grandpa's instructions and responded in unison.
"They are the two children of Shifeng! I can see you, brother Youxian, were a bit more elegant back then!"
Sun Hongyao took a quick look and realized Chen Yuqian's purpose of coming here, and also understood what Chen Yuqian meant by a good relationship.
It’s just that I don’t know which of the two people is the target of this marriage, or whether both of them intend to marry.
If it's the young Zhiyu, then that's it. At such a young age and with such a level of cultivation, as long as he doesn't die young, foundation building is certain, and the Sun family will make a profit by marrying him.
But if it were the older boy Fang, the Sun family would be in big trouble.
However, she felt that it was very possible that she was seeking marriage for the young man named Chen Zhifang. After all, monks who had the potential to build a foundation generally would not marry so early.
How could she not see that Chen Zhifang was just a fourth-level spiritual master who was now over thirty years old and only at the fourth level of Qi training?
It's just that Chen Yu, an old fox, doesn't tell her directly, which will make her a little difficult to deal with!
Every female cultivator is the treasure of the family. After all, men cannot do the job of giving birth to children. Therefore, every cultivator family generally does not allow female cultivators to get married except for necessary marriages.
Especially a small family like the Sun family with no more than a hundred monks.
In just this moment, Sun Hongyao thoroughly analyzed Chen Yuqian's purpose of coming here.
"I wonder which of my virtuous brothers' grandchildren is looking for a Taoist couple?"
Sun Hongyao asked with a little anxiety.
Sun Hongyao knew that Chen Yuqian came here personally not to get a female cultivator with five spiritual roots. She must know that the better the qualifications of a female cultivator, the more likely her offspring will also have spiritual roots. I'm afraid what Chen Yuqian wants is at least a pure four-spirit root.
Sure enough, what Chen Yuqian said next confirmed Sun Hongyao's guess.
"I'm here to ask for a female cultivator from the Sun family for my grandson Chen Zhifang to form a couple!"
"Then I wonder which descendant of my Sun family has fallen into the eyes of my virtuous brother?"
"I heard that there are two girls with three spiritual roots in the Sun family. I am here to ask for one of them. I hope the eldest sister can agree to this matter."
"Of course, in terms of betrothal gifts, my Chen family will not treat the Sun family badly!"
When Sun Hongyao heard this, the veins in the hand holding the walking stick bulged. It was obvious that she was very angry at the moment.
What does it mean to not treat the Sun family badly in terms of betrothal gifts? This is simply not taking the Sun family seriously!
However, if the Chen family's betrothal gift really helps, then the possibility of her youngest son breaking through the foundation building will be even greater.
In an instant, Sun Hongyao's mood changed dramatically. Given a choice between a foundation-building master and two juniors with good qualifications, Sun Hongyao obviously chose the former.
Then she smiled and said:
"I wonder if my dear brother has a specific candidate?"
"That's not true!"
Chen Yuqian thought for a while and then said.
Although it is a marriage, Danzhi Fang is also his grandson, and he has to choose the specific candidate himself.
"Then, dear brother, why don't you stay at my Sun family's Yunsang Mountain for a few days."
"My two granddaughters are still out playing and haven't come back yet. Waiting for them to come back will make you wise brother!"
Chen Yuqian nodded, agreeing to the matter.
Then a flash of inspiration occurred in Sun Hongyao's hand, and a red flying knife and a small aqua sword appeared in his hand. Judging from their aura, they were clearly two second-level mid-grade magic weapons, and the quality was not bad.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen my two great-nephews for a long time. Just think of these two magic weapons as my aunt's wishes!"
Chen Zhifang and Chen Zhiyu glanced at Chen Yuqian, and after getting Chen Yuqian's permission, they stepped forward to take the two magic weapons.
Chen Zhiyu took the red flying knife. As for Chen Zhifang, the five elements were only missing wood and the purity of his spiritual roots was about the same, so he took the small aqua blue sword.
Then the three of them walked into an extremely spacious hall under the leadership of Sun Hongyao. There was a large round table made of first-grade low-grade ironwood in the hall, with a lot of things placed on it. Delicious food with a fragrant aroma.
Sun Hongyao made a "please" gesture to Chen Yuqian, and then the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves and ate happily.
After the meal, Chen Yuqian seemed to have something to discuss with his aunt Sun Hongyao, so Chen Zhiyu and his second brother Chen Zhifang went to a room to rest under the guidance of the maid arranged by Sun Jianqiang.
Entering the room, Chen Zhiyu took out the red flying knife given by her aunt. She saw the word "Xia Yun" written on the handle. Apparently the previous owner of the knife was a female monk.
No longer thinking, Chen Zhiyu began to meditate again, and then night fell, leaving another speechless night.
…………
In a cave in Yunsang Mountain, Sun Jianqiang, who had received Mr. Chen Yu and his grandson during the day, was saying with some excitement:
"Mother, you clearly know that Chen Zhifang is a loser with four spiritual roots and may not be able to reach it in the later stages of Qi training. Why do you still push my two daughters into the fire pit? They are your grandchildren!"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
I saw Sun Hongyao banging her cane on the ground and looking at Sun Jianqiang with a pair of sharp eyes. She was no longer as kind and kind as she was during the day.
Sun Jianqiang shivered, but he was a little scared, and said timidly:
"That……"
"Then you can't push my two daughters into the fire pit!"
Sun Hongyao squinted at this obedient second son. She didn't expect that he would dare to question herself today.
But what she didn't know was that the reason why his cowardly second son was obedient was all because of his two daughters.
He is just a fourth-spirited person. He is now over eighty years old and has only reached the sixth level of Qi training. All his expectations are placed on his two daughters who may go further in their cultivation.
Now that Sun Hongyao wants to push his daughter into the pit of fire, even the most cowardly person will still have to resist.
"well……"
Sun Hongyao let out a long sigh, and then said:
"Have you ever thought about what would happen to my Sun family if you reject the Chen family?"
"Besides, let me tell you the truth, your brother is already seventy years old. Even with two auxiliary spiritual objects, the success rate of foundation building is less than 30%."
Sun Jianqiang also fell silent upon hearing this. Of course he knew about his younger brother's situation, and he also knew that when his mother gave birth to them, her vitality was severely damaged because she had no spiritual herbs or elixirs to replenish her blood. Shouyuan's injuries from fighting were much less than those of other foundation-building monks.
Nowadays, there is a shortage of people in the family, and the only one who has the chance to build the foundation is his younger brother. If there is no foundation-building monk in charge, it is uncertain whether Yunsang Mountain belongs to the Sun family or not.
"Do you know why I didn't go to greet your uncle as soon as possible today?"
"It's not because of me, but because Master Qinghuo of the Wang family sent the secret voice of divine consciousness..."
