The first thousand two hundred and forty-nine chapters
"This -" Zhan Chen couldn't answer for a moment and seemed embarrassed.
Qi Wen on the other side said: "Zhan Chen, I heard what senior said, you still have a good friend in Tunyun City, why don't you introduce her to me? I can recognize you as a sister."
"Wenwen, senior is just joking. Lin Mengdie and I didn't mean it at all." Zhan Chen immediately denied it. In order to prevent them from continuing to struggle with this issue, Zhan Chen said again: "By the way, Elder Lin, you
Didn't you notice that my cultivation level has improved?"
Lin Xiaohan took a closer look, his eyes almost bulged out, and shouted: "Impossible, you actually broke through the Earth Star Realm, how short a time it took!"
Zhan Chen smiled and said, "You finally discovered that I've been here for a while."
"Great Zhan Chen, you have become the second two-star alchemist in our Alchemy Pavilion. This is really a blessing for the Lin family!"
"I am willing to serve the Lin family."
"Haha, I have to report this news to the old guys in the clan immediately. They will all be happy!" Lin Xiaohan said and walked out the door.
Zhan Chen asked hurriedly: "Are you leaving now?"
"Yes, you go back and wait, I will be back almost this evening!"
Zhan Chen shook his head helplessly, and took Qi Wen back to his home in Dangeli. Waiting until evening, Lin Xiaohan came as expected. As soon as he came back, he smiled and said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, you
Come with me to visit the clan leader tomorrow, he is very interested in you."
The head of the Lin family was Lin Chongwu. Zhan Chen remembered that the last time he met him face to face was in the Lin family's arsenal, so he asked again: "I just broke through the earth and star realm, is it necessary to be so grand?"
"Haha, you don't know how important a strong person in the Earth and Star Realm is to our family. Our Lin family has a population of hundreds of thousands, but there are only more than a hundred strong people in the Earth and Star Realm, including those of you with other surnames.
, it can be seen how important a strong person in the earth and star realm is to us, so Zhan Chen, as long as you join our family, your status will be absolutely guaranteed."
"Haha, what are you talking about? I am a member of the Lin family."
"It's different. I advise you to marry a girl from our Lin family."
Zhan Chen said: "Elder, we have talked about this matter many times, and my meaning is very clear. Don't mention it again."
"That's all, you can follow me to see the clan leader tomorrow."
The next day, Lin Xiaohan took Zhan Chen to the City Lord's Mansion and met Lin Chongwu. Lin Chongwu took one look at Zhan Chen and immediately recognized him, saying, "You are the boy who followed me into the Lin family's arsenal last time, right?"
.”
Zhan Chen quickly saluted and said: "Exactly, I benefited a lot from my senior's advice and care last time."
"Haha, we are destined to be together. It's not simple. An alchemist in the Earth Star Realm is a treasure to our Lin family. How about you consider officially joining our Lin family?"
"I joined a long time ago."
"I mean to choose a marriage with you in the clan, otherwise you will not be considered a member of our Lin family. You also understand that cultivators often go out to experience, or even never return. Without a wife and children, it is not considered to have truly joined a family.
family."
Zhan Chen could only say: "Let me think about it."
"Okay, Zhan Chen, as long as you are willing to join our Lin family, I will allow you to enter the Lin family's arsenal again and choose a treasure of your choice."
Zhan Chen was very moved after hearing what he said. He returned to the Lin family just to make money and buy a useful weapon. If he could enter the Lin family's arsenal, wouldn't the problem be solved directly? But he would need to add more
At the expense of a wife, the thought of this made him feel dizzy.
Seeing his silence, Lin Chongwu added: "There is no need to rush this matter. Let's go back and think about it slowly. When you decide, I will take you to the Lin family's arsenal again."
After leaving Lin Chongwu, Zhan Chen was still thinking about this matter. When he arrived at the door of his house, he met Lin Mengdie. Lin Mengdie saw Zhan Chen and shouted in surprise: "Zhan Chen, you are finally willing to come back after all these years."
Where did you go?"
Zhan Chen smiled and said: "I will go to Xingji City to practice there."
"You've been gone for hundreds of years, which makes people worry to death."
"Haha, a few hundred years is a short time for us cultivators."
"Although I say that, you know how others feel about you. In the past few years, I have not been able to eat well and sleep well because of you, and I have not even been in the mood to practice."
Zhan Chen was quite moved after hearing this and said: "Mengdie we are good friends, I only admire you."
Lin Mengdie pursed her lips and said, "Every time you use these old tunes to try to offend me."
Zhan Chen shook his head and said: "In short, a marriage without emotion will not be happy."
"Humph, these are all excuses and hypocrisy. In fact, which man doesn't like beautiful women? Do you have feelings for Qi Wen? I hate duplicitous men like you the most!"
Zhan Chen's heart skipped a beat and he said: "It was because of an accident. I have to be responsible for her. There are so many beauties in the world. I can't like them all. Mengdie - you are actually quite good, but I
This man doesn't know how to be charming at all, and you and I will never be happy."
"I don't care, I have identified you. This time you will never disappear from my sight again. I will chase you to any corner of the universe!"
Zhan Chen sighed. He accepted Qi Wen and gave up his excuse. Now he couldn't tell the difference. To be honest, he had indeed been attracted to Lin Mengdie, but when he thought that he had enough women, he didn't want to do it again.
He owes others, so he has always been very repulsive to outside romantic encounters. However, even so, more and more women are involved with him. The astrologer's lifespan is unlimited, and he dare not imagine that if he continues to live,
How many more women will be added to my life?
He was very confused, so he said to Lin Mengdie: "Anyway, I haven't thought about the matter between you and me yet. Let me think about it for some time."
Zhan Chen turned around and entered the Dan Pavilion. Unexpectedly, Lin Mengdie followed him in reluctantly. The two struggled all the way, but were bumped into by Qi Wen.
Qi Wen was stunned when she saw Lin Mengdie. She stepped forward with a smile and said, "Zhan Chen, I didn't expect that you have a lovely wife here with you. Why don't you introduce her to her?"
The tone was calm, but there was no hint of sourness. When Zhan Chen saw it was Qi Wen, he said angrily: "You misunderstood. Mengdie and I are friends, not the kind of relationship you imagined."
Lin Mengdie looked at Qi Wen and asked: "This is -"
Qi Wen introduced herself: "My name is Qi Wen, one of Zhan Chen's wives."
Lin Mengdie suddenly felt unbalanced. Although Qi Wen was beautiful, she was not as gorgeous as herself. Why did Zhan Chen accept her but reject herself?
Zhan Chen immediately said: "Mengdie, have you seen it? I already have my heart."
"Zhan Chen, you are so hateful!" Lin Mengdie stamped her feet, turned and left.
Looking at her back, Zhan Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Qi Wen said: "Zhan Chen, I didn't expect you to have a cruel side."
Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? I'm doing it for his own good."
"Humph, don't make excuses. I just said that you were not honest enough and suppressed your emotions. You did the same to me back then. If it hadn't been for what happened between us, you probably wouldn't have accepted me, right?"
Zhan Chen smiled sheepishly, acquiescing, and explained: "But I can't fall in love with someone when I meet them, right?"
"What's wrong with being in love with each other? We women are different from you men. Most women are very persistent in their feelings. I can see that the same is true for Mengdie just now. You have always rejected her and wishfully hoped.
If she can empathize with someone else, I'm afraid it will backfire in the end."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Of course, live a more free and manly life and have the courage to admit your feelings. If you have no interest in Lin Mengdie at all, you must speak more decisively, don't be ambiguous, and leave her hope, or give her to her.
Married."
"Do you want me to marry her?"
"I don't care, you have other women anyway, but I hope you can be honest with yourself, otherwise your life will be too tiring."
"Wenwen, what you said makes sense, let me think about it carefully." Zhan Chen murmured.
"Okay, think about it carefully and tell Mengdie your true feelings so that she can understand you. Then I won't disturb you for now." Qi Wen turned around and left after speaking.
Zhan Chen returned home alone and fell into deep thought. He recalled his past interactions with Lin Mengdie, especially the scenes where she accompanied him to practice mysteries, and her kindness in helping him enter the Chuan Gong Pavilion to watch the exercises.
As well as her experience of accompanying him through life and death in the Red Flame Valley, all of this is still vivid in his mind.
He began to ask himself, would he be willing to let Lin Mengdie marry someone else? The answer is not willing. It seems that he likes Lin Mengdie deep down in his heart, maybe a little more than Qi Wen. He has a crush on Qi Wen.
In addition to love, it is more of a responsibility and a commitment.
Thinking of this, Zhan Chen's eyes became firm. He stood up and went out. First he went to the market to pick out a few expensive gifts, then he went straight to Lin Gutian's mansion, and
Met Lin Gutian.
Lin Gutian was very happy to see Zhan Chen coming, and congratulated him: "Zhan Chen, Xiaohan told me the day before yesterday that you had broken through the Earth Star Realm. I was still a little skeptical, but today it turned out to be true. Congratulations."
Zhan Chen cupped his hands and said, "I cannot break through without the help of my seniors."
"Zhan Chen, are you here to see me today, or are you here to see our butterfly?"
"I came to see you grow old, and also for Die'er."
"oh?"
Zhan Chen took out the gift, bowed down and said, "Senior, I have thought clearly about it. I am willing to marry Die'er."
Lin Gutian was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly helped him up from the ground and said with a smile: "I have been waiting for your words for a long time. Die'er follows her mother and is stubborn and accepts death. She will not fall in love with you."
It has changed. I see that you have always rejected her before and persuaded her to find a new love, but no matter how many times I persuaded her, she always said she would only marry you. Now you finally relent, and I am relieved."
Zhan Chen raised his head and asked, "Senior, do you agree?"
"Haha, I agree. Of course I agree. I will tell Die'er and her parents the good news right away."
