The Longevity Family: Starting from the Branches and Leaves

Chapter 536 Qi Baoyi Marries into the Chen Family

Chen Ling had already thought of an explanation for what happened between him and Qi Baoyi.

He hurriedly whispered to Wan An, "My father-in-law, the reason why I am marrying Bao Yi is mainly to deal with the Golden Eye Spirit Clan."

"You also know that my Xiyong Fairy City has just been established and is weak."

"Now that the Golden Eyed Spirit Tribe has invaded Canglan Country, if Xiyong City has not formed an alliance with other immortal cities, it will be easily conquered by the Golden Eyed Spirit Tribe!"

"By then, millions of people in Xiyong Immortal City will be destroyed."

Chen Ling looked cautious and spoke in a sad tone.

He also didn't expect that Qi Baoyi would announce their marriage without even asking him.

Catch him off guard.

However, just announce it.

Anyway, the Wan family will know about this sooner or later.

It doesn’t make much difference whether you know it earlier or later!
Wan An was a little surprised to hear Chen Ling say this, but as the head of the family, he also knew how difficult it was for Chen Ling.

Especially in the current situation, the Golden Eyed Elf Clan may attack Xiyong City at any time.

After all, the current position of Xillion City is a bit precarious.

According to Chen Ling's explanation, it seems that the main purpose of marrying Qi Baoyi was to form an alliance with Wanjian Immortal City.

And looking at Qi Baoyi's expression, he seemed to agree.

Now, he finally understood Chen Ling.

However, he was still a little angry.

Such a big thing, but they were not informed in advance.

However, Chen Ling is famous for his love of getting married and having children.

But why would Qi Baoyi fall for Chen Ling?
He felt that he could accept that Yun'er fell in love with Chen Ling.

But now, his eldest daughter is the lord of Wanjian Immortal City.

As he thought about this, he couldn't help but look towards his ancestor.

"Ling'er, you are considering your own fairy city and marrying City Lord Qi. There is nothing wrong with that."

"However, if there are any risks in Xiyong City, my Wan family will naturally help you!"

Patriarch Wan's expression also returned to calm, and he spoke calmly.

The look he gave Chen Ling was not one of blame, but rather one of appreciation.

You know, although Qi Baoyi is Wan'an's daughter, she has deep entanglements with the Wan family because of her mother.

Moreover, his personal cultivation and abilities are good.

It has developed too fast in recent years. If it continues like this, it will soon pose a considerable threat to the Wan family.

Moreover, Qi Baoyi's style of doing things is decisive and fierce, and he has no feelings for the Wan family.

Once it becomes a trend, it will be a big trouble.

In her opinion, Chen Ling is a cautious and steady person.

Although there are rumors that he loves to marry, as the lord of the Immortal City, this is not a big deal.

On the contrary, this way, Qi Baoyi will have Chen Ling to restrain him in the future.

Moreover, Yun'er has a child, so her status in the Chen family will definitely be higher than Qi Baoyi's in the future.

Therefore, she not only did not oppose this marriage, but she fully supported it.

"Thank you, ancestor!"

Chen Ling bowed hurriedly.

I didn't expect that the matter could be brushed aside like this.

I had originally thought about taking the trouble to explain it to them.

Wan'an was also stunned. Originally, the ancestor was very disgusted with men marrying multiple wives.

That's why he didn't marry Qi Yuhe at first.

Of course, there were other reasons at that time.

But this time, the ancestor showed such magnanimity and had no intention of blaming Chen Ling at all.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that her two daughters were going to become this boy's wives!

However, the current situation is serious, so it is better to let the three of them resolve these personal affairs on their own.

"Ling'er, I have no objection to your marriage with the city lord, but next, should we send troops to rescue Jinshan Immortal City or defend Wanjian Immortal City? This matter still needs to be discussed clearly!"

Wan An exhaled lightly and said seriously.

Naturally, he would not make things difficult for Chen Ling in this matter.

What's more, Chen Ling has good conditions in all aspects.

Originally, he always felt guilty towards Qi Baoyi.

Otherwise, I might not have lost to her in the competition ten years ago.

Moreover, without his secret support over the years, it would have been impossible for Qi Baoyi to secure the position of city lord.

Now, Qi Baoyi is willing to marry Chen Ling, which can be regarded as making up for the debt in his heart.

So Chen Ling was also somewhat grateful in his heart.

As for Ancestor Jin and Ancestor Deng, they looked at Chen Ling with faces full of surprise and praise, and even a little envy.

It is not a big deal for a lord of a fairy city to have many wives and concubines, but it is really enviable that even a female cultivator of Qi Baoyi's status is willing to marry him.

You know, now Qi Baoyi is not only the lord of Wanjian Immortal City, but also a seventh-rank swordsmith, a high-level female cultivator that is hard to find even with a lantern.

"I am only informing you of this city lord's marriage, not asking for your opinion."

"In three days, we will be married."

"In addition, due to the invasion of Canglan Country by the Golden Eye Spirit Clan, the City Lord's challenge competition will be postponed for the time being!"

Qi Baoyi's beautiful eyes were deep as she glanced at everyone and spoke calmly.

After all, refining a seventh-tier sword consumes a huge amount of energy, and it takes some time to recover.

And if the Golden Eyed Spirit Clan attacks the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal City during this period of time, it would be dangerous.

The other three naturally had no objection to postponing the competition.

After all, no one in the family can defeat Qi Baoyi.

They were eager to postpone it.

"City Lord, should we send troops to Jinshan Immortal City, or not?"

Ancestor Jin asked in a deep voice.

Now that the three ancestors have failed to reach a consensus, Qi Baoyi's opinion becomes crucial.

Upon hearing this, Qi Baoyi glanced at Chen Ling and asked with a smile, "Chen Ling, what do you think?"

"I!"

Hearing this, Chen Ling was stunned for a moment. Originally, this matter was the affair of Wanjian Immortal City.

It's not his turn as an outsider to speak.

But as Qi Baoyi finished speaking, the eyes of the other four people all fell on him.

After all, among all the people present, Chen Ling was the only one who had actually fought against the seventh-level golden-eyed elves.

Although the other ancestors were quite old, they had no experience fighting against the Golden Eyed Spirit Clan.

Chen Ling thought for a moment and said, "Wanjian Immortal City is good at forging swords, although Jinshan Immortal City is in crisis now."

“But with the current strength of the Golden Eye Spirit Clan, even if all three ancestors go, they may not be able to save the Golden Mountain Immortal City.”

"It would be better to use the magic circle to defend the Wanjian Immortal City."

"Moreover, the upcoming war between the two sides will definitely last for a while, possibly ten years, or even a hundred years. Therefore, it is better for us, the Wanjian Immortal City, to defend the city and provide more swords to other immortal cities in Canglan Country."

If Wanjian Immortal City refines one more sixth-tier sword, the strength of other immortal cities will be increased.

Those present here are either seventh-level or sixth-level swordsmiths. If any one of them dies on the battlefield, it will be a huge loss.

Moreover, Chen Ling also believed that with the strength of the three ancestors, they could not deal with the late seventh-order golden-eyed spirit.

"City Lord Chen is right!"

After hearing Chen Ling's words, Patriarch Jin was the first to agree.

Patriarch Wan frowned slightly, but thought that what Chen Ling said made some sense.

"Okay, then we won't send out any troops and will focus on defending the city!"

Qi Baoyi spoke directly without waiting for Patriarch Wan to speak.

"Qin'er, immediately issue an order to strengthen the defense of the Immortal City and call back all the monks who are out. Others, do not leave the Immortal City easily during this period!"

Qi Baoyi gave another order.

Obviously, she still trusted Chen Ling's words.

Rather than risking a life-and-death battle with the Golden Eyed Spirit Clan to save Jinshan Immortal City, it would be better to use the Immortal City's magic array to defend it, and then as Chen Ling said, forge swords for other Immortal Cities in the future, which would definitely be more useful.

Seeing that the other two ancestors had no objection, Ancestor Wan had no choice but to accept it.

Originally, she wanted to use the Jinshan Fairy City to defeat the Golden Eyed Spirit Clan in one fell swoop, but no one else supported her.

Then it is naturally impossible for the Wan family to send troops.

"In the future, please ask the three ancestors to organize the sword formation of Wanjian Immortal City, and don't let anything go wrong at the critical moment!"

Qi Baoyi glanced at the three ancestors and said lightly.

Although she had been the lord of Wanjian Immortal City for ten years, she only controlled the blessed land of the immortal city.

The sword formation is still in the hands of the three ancestors.

And it requires the cooperation of the three of them to be able to mobilize them.

This is also one of the reasons why the three companies have been able to maintain their cooperation over the years.

If any of them is destroyed, the sword formation of Wanjian Immortal City will not be able to be activated.

Once other immortal cities or alien races attack Wanjian Immortal City, there will be great danger.

This is also the wisdom of the three ancestors who founded the Immortal City.

This avoided the situation in which the three families would fight each other for the Wanjian Immortal City in the long years to come.

"This is natural!"

Patriarch Jin nodded.

Afterwards, the three elders discussed the situation of the sword formation.

"Chen Ling, you have to prepare your betrothal gift."

"Then we will hold a banquet in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion!"

Qi Baoyi ignored the three ancestors and discussed the marriage with Chen Ling.

“There’s nothing wrong with that.”

Chen Ling nodded and said.

"But who should we ask to officiate at the wedding?"

Seeing Wan'an listening carefully, Chen Ling couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Do we need to invite a wedding master?"

Qi Baoyi couldn't help but ask.

This is her first time getting married.

Due to her personality, she had never attended other people's wedding banquets before, so she really didn't know the specific situation.

"Of course, otherwise how can it be called a formal marriage?"

Chen Ling said with a serious face.

Hearing Chen Ling's serious words, Qi Baoyi immediately felt that this was what he should do.

Then he asked Chen Ling, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"

"Not just anyone can be the master of ceremonies. Usually it is the elders of both the couples!"

Chen Ling said seriously.

Hearing this, Qi Baoyi frowned slightly.

Her elders are members of the Wan family.

Although she no longer has much hatred towards Wan'an in her heart, she doesn't want to have too much contact with him.

I don't want him to be the master of ceremonies at my wedding.

"Can't we invite other people?"

Qi Baoyi glanced at Wan'an, and seeing Wan'an's smiling face, his expression changed.

"cannot!"

Chen Ling shook his head. "The so-called formal marriage naturally requires a legitimate marriage."

Hearing this, Qi Baoyi frowned and felt conflicted.

As the lord of the Immortal City, she naturally knew the importance of legitimacy.

If it was just an ordinary monk, then there wouldn't be any big problem.

But the Lord of the Immortal City is protected by the luck of heaven and earth in this world.

Similarly, his family members will also receive blessings of good fortune.

If I marry Chen Ling, it will be against my will and I will be a concubine.

It’s completely different if you get the blessing of heaven and earth’s luck.

So she naturally couldn't be careless in these procedures.

Chen Ling saw that Qi Baoyi had wavered, and immediately said, "How about letting your father-in-law be the master of ceremonies?"

"Father-in-law, what do you think?" Without waiting for Qi Baoyi to answer, Chen Ling asked Wan'an again.

The word "father-in-law" is a double entendre.

Although Chen Ling didn't know the specific conflict between Qi Baoyi and Wan'an.

But after all, we are all family.

Moreover, with the invasion of the Golden-Eyed Elven Clan, the situation is not optimistic, so we must unite as one.

"Of course I have no objection to this!" Wan An nodded.

In his heart, he praised Chen Ling for what he did, and it was worth it for both of his daughters to marry him.

Over the years, his guilt towards Qi Baoyi has been a big concern for him!

Now that he can be the master of ceremonies at his daughter's wedding, he is very excited.

But I knew my daughter might not agree, so I didn't dare show too much happiness.

Qi Baoyi's eyes flickered, and he said helplessly, "Okay, let Ling Lang decide on this matter!"

After saying this, he stood up and left the hall.

It seems like he is trying to express his dissatisfaction with Wan'an!

"Ling'er, you better be nice to Baoyi and Yun'er from now on, otherwise, I will be rude to you!"

Seeing Qi Baoyi agree, Wan'an patted Chen Ling's shoulder with a happy face.

"Don't worry, father-in-law. I, Chen Ling, treat my wife well. That's well-known!"

Chen Ling said with a smile.

"Also, I'd like to trouble my father-in-law to talk to Yun'er about this matter!"

"You won't say it yourself!" Wan An refused immediately.

How could he not know what position he holds in his daughter's heart?

Chen Ling showed helplessness on his face. Wan'an could no longer be counted on.

"Congratulations to City Lord Chen and City Lord Qi on their happy marriage!"

"Congratulations to City Lord Chen and City Lord Qi on their happy marriage!"

After ancestors Jin and Deng discussed with ancestor Wan, they bowed to Chen Ling and congratulated him.

Although Chen Ling is their junior, since he is the lord of the Immortal City, the two of them are extremely polite to him.

"Thank you, two ancestors!"

Chen Ling also bowed in return.

Then everyone left the City Lord's Mansion.

. . .

Three days later, the entire Wanjian Immortal City was filled with joy, and lights and decorations were hung everywhere.

Today is the wedding day for Qi Baoyi, Lord of Xiancheng, and Chen Ling, Lord of Xiyongcheng.

All industries and sectors in Wanjian Immortal City will be on holiday for three days.

On this day, Chen Ling also woke up early.

Dressed by two women from the Wan family, the groom, dressed in a red robe, rode on a little golden dragon and headed to the City Lord's Mansion.

Although it was a wedding, Qi Baoyi was not willing to step into the Wan family.

So Chen Ling’s bridal chamber was naturally placed in the City Lord’s Mansion.

After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Qi Baoyi, who was wearing a red wedding dress and a phoenix coronet, put on Jinlong.

Then the two of them sat on the back of the little golden dragon and circled the inner city of Wanjian Immortal City again.

The streets of the inner city were densely packed with monks and common people from the Wanjian Immortal City. People were in high spirits, beating gongs and drums, setting off firecrackers, and sending their best wishes to their city lord.
