From the fake emperor to the concubine
Chapter 558: The Lu Family Head Sends His Daughter
Qin Liang left the practice room contentedly.
He walked out with his hands behind his back and asked his disciple Zhao Tian about the situation at the Dragon Blood Mine. Upon learning that Zheng Yi and his family had already moved in, Qin Liang felt relieved for the time being.
This means that his cooperation with Zheng Yi and the suspected second-grade alchemist behind him can proceed smoothly, and it can also deal a heavy blow to their arch-rival, the Lu family.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
“What else?”
Seeing his disciple’s strange expression, Qin Liang asked directly in a cold voice.
Zhao Tian glanced at Xue Ran, who also had a blank expression on his face, and stood up and replied, “Master, it’s not the senior from the Zheng family, but the puppet lineage.
Master, your other mortal enemy seems to have returned empty-handed this time.”
“is it?”
Qin Liang was slightly stunned when he first heard this, but after he realized what was happening, he immediately looked ecstatic and his laughter resounded all around: “Hahahaha.
Isn’t this Old Monster Xu known as the number one person in the Foundation Establishment Stage in Hongchenfang and the strongest person under the crystallization stage?
He just managed to practice the puppet lineage’s top-grade skills by chance, yet he dared to speak so arrogantly.
It’s just that he has achieved perfection in foundation building one step ahead of time, but he is dreaming of crystallizing.
Does he fit too?
Now that I am the Bone-Transforming Clan, it is time for me to compete with his Puppet Clan for this title.”
Qin Liang took a step forward and things moved without wind.
The aura of perfect foundation building on his body was extremely transparent and integrated, as if it could compete with the best techniques of the righteous path. It did not have the drawbacks of the evil techniques, which were turbid in aura and violent but full of loopholes.
And this is precisely a major flaw of the magic technique.
Practitioners are racing against their lives at all times, and they must be extremely careful when fighting; otherwise, it is easy for others to catch them and kill them.
The two disciples below, Xue Ran and Zhao Tian, immediately shouted respectfully: “Congratulations, Master. Congratulations, Master, your cultivation has made further progress. I hope you will achieve the foundation of crystallization soon.
To carry forward my bone-melting lineage.”
“Ha ha ha ha……”
Hearing what his two disciples said, Qin Liang felt happier and laughed even louder.
……
At this time, from the Lu family in Graphite City, Lu Xiang returned with two guards.
Not long after, the guard informed the head of the Lu family about the young lady’s meeting with the foundation-building senior, and also mentioned that the young lady was still in the canyon.
The head of the Lu family suddenly stood up, his face full of shock: “Could it be that the senior who established the foundation was also in the canyon that day?”
He looked at the two guards.
The guards looked at each other and remained silent.
Although they swore an oath to the heavens, they had their own way around it.
The two thought for a moment and were about to explain, but the head of the Lu family waved his hand and said, “No need to say more.”
With his intelligence, how could he not guess what happened?
Thinking back, there were indeed a few people in the canyon that day. I never thought that this senior in the Foundation Establishment Realm was also there, and he happened to meet the two young ladies of the Lu family.
Thinking of this, the head of the Lu family felt uneasy and quickly sent people to investigate.
Not long after.
The whole story of how Zheng Yi rescued his second daughter Lu Xiang was presented to him in detail.
The head of the Lu family dismissed the two guards and went straight to his daughter’s boudoir.
At this time, Lu Xiang learned that her sister was safe and was preparing to go to the canyon secretly to rescue her sister at all costs.
But her father’s sudden arrival disrupted her plan.
The head of the Lu family saw the newly packed luggage on her bed and sighed, “The family will send someone over.”
“Why didn’t you say that before?
It was you, father, who said that my sister was dead.”
Lu Xiang lowered her head and said aggrievedly.
The head of the Lu family could not explain this.
After all, it was the ancestor of his family who told him the news.
“Perhaps the family got the wrong information.”
The head of the Lu family spoke again: “Xiang’er, don’t be too excited, just rest at home and recuperate.
If your sister is safe in the canyon, she will surely come back in a few days.”
Only after getting her father’s promise did Lu Xiang feel relieved.
But when I looked up, I saw that my father had not left.
She looked puzzled: “Father, is there something else?”
The head of the Lu family sat down slowly, thought for a moment and asked, “Daughter, you are acquainted with that foundation-building senior, do you know what his personality is like?
He is your savior.
As a father, I should go and visit him.”
“Fortunately.”
Lu Xiang didn’t suspect anything when she heard what her father said. She thought for a moment and then told him about her impression of Zheng Yi’s temperament, “Although he sometimes keeps people at a distance.
But in fact, he has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.”
“That’s good.”
The head of the Lu family nodded and said, “Tomorrow you will go to the residence of that senior with me. No matter what, the Lu family should go and thank him in person.”
“Oh, yes, father.”
Lu Xiang nodded in response.
But looking at his father’s back.
She always felt something was strange, as if something big was about to happen in the family.
……
The next morning.
Under the gaze of many clan elders, the head of the Lu family, accompanied by Lu Xiang, headed towards Zheng Yi’s residence in a mighty procession.
The thoughts of the head of the Lu family could be hidden from the young girl Lu Xiang, but not from the old guys in the clan.
“I’m afraid the Patriarch has other intentions behind this move.
Regardless of the origin of this Dragon Blood Mine, even if it is really related to the Red Dust Shop, my Lu family has not suffered any damage from this incident with the Soul Devouring Grass King. “
“That’s right, the eldest lady is about to return safely, and this is indeed a way out for our Lu family.
Our Lu family is not like the Wang family of Piaomiao Mountain, who can have the help of a Jindan sect like the Tianxuan Sword Sect to restore it.”
“Although there is a crystallization-stage cultivator in Graphite City, he cannot be compared with a golden elixir-stage cultivator.
It’s not easy to have such a fate, and no one in the family, from top to bottom, will easily miss it.”
Many elders nodded in agreement.
The group traveled for a while and arrived at Zheng Yi’s residence.
The Lu family had handed over their business cards early in the morning, so Zheng Yi knew that someone from the Lu family was coming.
But at this moment.
He thought that something happened to Miss Lu again.
In the reception hall, the head of the Lu family looked gentle, looked at Zheng Yi, and nodded slightly: “Thank you for saving my daughter and telling me the news that my eldest daughter is in the canyon.
The Lu family has sent people to look for him. The Lu family will never forget the kindness of the predecessor.
In the future, the Lu family will fully support the Zheng family of the Dragon Blood Mine in all matters of all sizes in Graphite City and fulfill their previous promises.”
After hearing this, Zheng Yi showed an expression of approval and had a pretty good impression of the head of the Lu family.
just.
A sense of strangeness flashed through his mind. He always felt that the Lu family’s head looked at him in a strange way.
The head of the Lu family asked casually, “Senior Zheng, my ancestors were very knowledgeable and knew that the Dragon Blood Mine seemed to be the base of the Hongchenfang Bone-Changing Sect.
Could it be that Senior Zheng has some connection with this Bone-Transforming Sect?”
Zheng Yi smiled slightly: “It’s just an acquaintance. Patriarch Lu, please don’t worry. I promise that it will not affect the business of Graphite City.”
The head of the Lu family smiled and shook his head: “That’s not the case.”
Say it.
He shifted his gaze from Zheng Yi to Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang looked confused.
The Lu family patriarch raised his lips slightly, revealing a bit of joy: “My daughter Lu Xiang has a thunder spirit root that mutated from a top-grade spirit root, although it is not as good as the legendary spirit body heavenly spirit root.
But there is also the possibility of breaking through to the crystallization stage.
Now that she has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, this trip to the Yixiantian Canyon can be considered a blessing in disguise.”
The more the head of the Lu family spoke, the more the atmosphere of the original discussion on cooperation became wrong.
Zheng Yi frowned slightly, really not understanding what the Lu family’s head was trying to do.
Soon, the head of the Lu family expressed his intention: “Today, Senior Zheng has just arrived in Graphite City. I wonder if my Lu family would have the honor to marry into the Zheng family?”
Zheng Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly shook his head to explain: “To be honest with you, Patriarch Lu, my Zheng family is just a new family, and the children in the family are not yet adults, so I’m afraid it’s not appropriate.”
After hearing this, the head of the Lu family felt calm.
A young genius like Zheng Yi, who has already cultivated to the foundation-building stage, if there is no girl of the right age in his family.
Instead, he would suspect that the other party was hiding something.
Moreover, Zheng Yi has children, which further proves that he and Hongchenfang are only partners and he is not a member of Hongchenfang.
After all, most of the magic skills have huge inherent side effects, and the demons do not pay attention to the development of their families. To them, the family is nothing more than a burden and a tool in their hands.
The head of the Lu family smiled and continued, “Senior Zheng is enough.
Today I would like to entrust my daughter to Senior Zheng. What do you think?”
He paused for a moment, without waiting for Zheng Yi to reply.
He continued with his witty remarks: “This will allow the Lu and Zheng families to form a close relationship. In the future, the two families will become one and will surely achieve great things in Graphite City.
Senior Zheng, what do you think? “
The head of the Lu family looked at Zheng Yi expectantly.
Zheng Yi was slightly stunned.
At this time, Lu Xiang, who was sitting below the head of the Lu family and opposite Zheng Yi, also had her eyes wide open.
She came back to her senses, grabbed Patriarch Lu’s clothes, and whispered, “Didn’t we agree to just express our gratitude?
Why are you suddenly talking about my marriage?”
The head of the Lu family looked down at his daughter and saw that she looked shy. Although she was a little resistant at the moment, she was not really unwilling in her heart, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
He pretended to scold, “Master Zheng is a man of great talent, and he saved your life before.
Now the Zheng family and the Lu family are going to cooperate. Although the marriage is unfair to you, your father thinks this marriage is a very good one.
The methods of this Zheng family master are much stronger than you think.”
Patriarch Lu spoke slowly, his words were full of meaning.
original.
He had already sent people to inquire about the details of the Zheng family in the Dragon Blood Mine, and the more he inquired, the more shocking it found them.
In just a few years, the Zheng family was able to break away from the Wang family of Piaomiao Mountain, and was able to replace the original base of the Hongchenfang Huagu lineage through cooperation.
From this result, we can see that Zheng Yi is extraordinary.
In addition, Zheng Yi is suspected to be a second-grade alchemist. Even if he is not, there must be a second-grade alchemist master behind him, which represents even greater value.
To sum up, this is why the head of the Lu family took today’s actions.
Zheng Yi smiled bitterly, his thoughts turning.
He already understood the intention of the head of the Lu family in front of him.
He did not look at the head of the Lu family, but looked at Lu Xiang and said, “Miss Lu, this way…”
The words are not finished yet.
Patriarch Lu then took over the conversation with a smile: “My daughter just had a momentary reaction, I hope Patriarch Zheng will not be offended.”
Having said that, Zheng Yi didn’t feel too much rejection in his heart.
Lu Xiang’s mutated thunder spirit root is somewhat useful to him, and this second Miss Lu is not a bad person, so she is indeed a suitable candidate.
After thinking everything through, Zheng Yi smiled and nodded: “If Miss Lu is really willing, this matter can be settled.”
The voice just fell.
Patriarch Lu’s eyes were bright as he said, “Please rest assured, Patriarch Zheng, we will ask someone to set an auspicious date in a few days, and we will follow all the necessary etiquette.
By then, the Lu family will definitely prepare a generous dowry.
I will never let Master Zheng suffer any injustice.”
After saying all this in one breath, the head of the Lu family and his entourage hurriedly left Zheng Yi’s residence, as if they could not wait for the wedding and wanted to start arranging it immediately.
But the other party’s words before leaving made Zheng Yi laugh and cry.
It didn’t feel like his own daughter was marrying in, but rather like he, the future son-in-law, was marrying in. This future elder was more anxious than him, the junior.
After Lu Xiang returned home, she got angry at her father, the head of the Lu family: “Father, why didn’t you discuss such a big matter with me? Your daughter is not mentally prepared at all.”
“you are not willing?”
Patriarch Lu saw through his daughter’s thoughts at a glance and said, “At your age, it’s time for you to find a good man.
This time, Master Zheng and you have the right timing and location, so don’t let your imagination run wild.
Parents to enrich people.
That’s settled.”
The head of the Lu family saw through his daughter’s willing heart beneath her rebellious appearance. After deciding the matter in a domineering manner, he ordered the Lu family’s servants and the ladies in the back house to make it happen as soon as possible.
Back in the courtyard, Lu Xiang pouted and complained indignantly: “It’s so unfair!”
The maids and servants who followed her echoed: “Don’t worry, Miss, after she returns home, she will definitely be able to make her own decision.
By then.
Even if the Zheng family master has the foundation-building cultivation and possesses the best spiritual roots, what can he do?”
“If the young lady doesn’t like it, this marriage can’t be completed. The young lady will definitely make the decision for you.”
Seeing that Lu Xiang remained silent, the other maids became bolder and began to speak one after another.
“Miss, if it doesn’t work, we can ask the ancestor for help.”
“The words of the ancestor are more effective than those of the head of the family. When the time comes, let the eldest daughter go to ask the ancestor for help, and the second daughter will come with him.”
“It will definitely make the ancestor relax.”
Seeing things developing in this direction, Lu Xiang’s originally stern face couldn’t help but reveal a trace of panic.
Her face turned slightly red, and her mind began to emerge the figure of the mysterious Zheng Yi in green clothes who suddenly appeared when she was on the verge of death and was about to be killed by the villains of the Hongchenfang puppet lineage.
There were also the short two days she spent with Zheng Yi after waking up. Although those moments were brief, they gave the girl a great sense of security and undoubtedly touched the heart of this young girl.
Women admire the strong.
According to the laws of heaven and earth, the weak tend to rely on the strong.
Coupled with the influence of various factors today, Lu Xiang’s heart was pounding.
Subconsciously, he began to argue for Zheng Yi: “He is actually not that bad. At the same age, he has already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, which is better than the heir of the Sun family in Graphite City.
And my sister is stronger.
It is not easy to break through the foundation-building stage, and my father said that the head of the Zheng family is also an alchemist, so he must have put in more effort on weekdays. “(End of this chapter)
