I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Chapter 337 Chu Ning: Just call me godfather

Three months later.

Chu Ning received the notification from the sect master and left Nian Tangshan and headed for Firestone City.

Firestone City is one of the many cities in the Dan Territory. It is named after the "firestone" it produces.

Flint is both a tool-refining material and an elixir-making material, but it is not a precious material. Top sects look down on these flint mines.

Without the intervention of these top sects, the flint mine in Firestone City was ultimately controlled by the two sects.

The Zheng family is one of the two major families in Firestone City.

The Zheng family is able to control the flint mine precisely because the Zheng family has a powerful person who transforms into gods, and the same is true for the other Chen family.

It's just that recently, the children of the Zheng family have lost their former coolness and are worried. Even when facing the Chen family, they no longer have the confidence to be equals.

Especially the younger generation, from elder to elder, all told them not to offend the Chen family recently, which made the younger generation of the Zheng family feel very aggrieved.

But there is no way, they have also heard some rumors that their ancestor's death is coming, and they are afraid that they don't have much time left.

Although the Zheng family still has three late-stage Nascent Soul elders who are in charge, there are two completely different levels in a family with a powerful person who has transformed into a god and a family without a powerful person who has transformed into a god.

Without the Ancestor of Transformation God, the Zheng family might not be able to defend the flint mine.

"Brother Qi, Lao Wu was just beaten by Chen Feng of the Chen family. His Dantian was almost destroyed. The Chen family was too cruel."

In a courtyard in the city, a young man was identifying the medicinal materials in front of him. Several young men broke in at the door, and a pale man was carried in the middle.

Zheng Qi stepped forward and looked at the pale man, took out a pill from his storage bag and gave it to him to drink, then raised his head and asked:

"What's going on? Didn't I warn you not to have conflicts with the Chen family recently?"

"Brother Qi, we didn't cause any trouble. We have been hiding from the Chen family these days. We haven't gone to the places where everyone used to go. But I didn't expect that Chen Feng and his people would come to him and use all kinds of taunts. Lao Wu couldn't bear it. He took action right away, but was injured by Chen Feng."

"Brother Qi, our two families have fought a lot in the past, but they have never been so serious. I'm afraid this injury will be difficult to recover from in ten years."

As the only two major families in Firestone City, the younger generations of the Zheng family and the Chen family refused to obey anyone. Whether in Fangshi or Goulan, the two families often fought.

There are some civil fights and some violent fights, but both sides are very cautious in their hearts and will not really kill each other, so as not to cause an all-out war between the two families.

"Take Lao Wu to the clan's elixir pavilion and ask the elders to get the elixir."

Zheng Qi ordered several people, but none of them moved. One of them couldn't help but said: "Brother Qi, is this the end of it?"

The reason why these people found Zheng Qi is because Zheng Qi is the number one among their younger generation. He is already in the late stage of foundation building before he is a hundred years old, and is only one step away from the golden elixir.

"I will report this matter to the elders."

Zheng Qi knew in his heart that even if he informed the elders, in the current situation, the elders would not ask the Chen family for an explanation.

Although he knew that the elders would not do anything to Chen Feng, he still wanted to inform the elders about this matter, because Chen Feng's behavior also represented the attitude of the Chen family.

During this period, some elders felt that if the family wanted to have a good relationship with the Chen family, it would be best to marry into the Chen family. He wanted these elders to give up these unrealistic ideas and let these elders know that the Chen family had no intention of getting along with them at all. Family marriage.

The Chen family waited for their ancestor to leave before annexing their Zheng family.

……

The Zheng family mansion.

Chu Ning looked at his sect master and the ancestor of the Zheng family with a helpless expression.

Especially since his sect leader was drinking tea and looking aloof from the incident, he had no choice but to look at the ancestor of the Zheng family and said: "Senior Zheng, this junior already has a Taoist companion."

"It doesn't matter, you can take a concubine."

The ancestor of the Zheng family is easy to talk to. Chu Ning's mouth twitched. You are easy to talk, but Tang Xiaoniu is not.

"Ahem, the junior knows the worries of the senior, but the junior promises that as long as the junior is still alive, he will protect the Zheng family, but only if the Zheng family does not do anything harmful to nature."

Chu Ning knew in her heart that the ancestor of the Zheng family must take a woman from the Zheng family as his concubine, because he wanted to deeply bind himself to the Zheng family.

However, Chu Ning felt that the ancestor of the Zheng family was thinking too much. The sect leader had personally come forward. With the strength of the Danshan Sect, was he afraid that he would not be able to protect a single Zheng family?

To put it mildly, I might die one day, but Danshan Sect will always exist, and relying on Danshan Sect is obviously better than relying on yourself.

Xie Jingxing listened to the conversation between Chu Ning and the ancestor of the Zheng family and drank tea leisurely. Chu Ning was a fan of those who belonged to the authorities. The ancestor of the Zheng family wanted not only protection, but also the current interests of the Zheng family and even greater interests.

The protection of the Zheng family by the Danshan Sect can ensure that the Zheng family will not be destroyed, but the current territory of the Zheng family will definitely not be preserved. If the Chen family or other forces that want to replace the Zheng family initiate some small frictions on the Zheng family's territory, the Zheng family will It was impossible to just ask Danshan Sect for help.

The gate party's protection for some families is to ensure that the family will not be destroyed, and the ancestor of the Zheng family obviously wants more. If Chu Ning takes a woman from the Zheng family as a concubine, and the news gets out, the Chen family and other forces will not dare to act rashly. .

"Fellow Daoist Chu, my request is not too much. The Zheng family will not do anything harmful to nature. It is better to do this. Friend Chu, please meet Meier first before talking about it."

Zheng Mei is the woman arranged for Chu Ning by the ancestor of the Zheng family, and she is also his great-great-great-granddaughter.

The ancestor of the Zheng family smiled and spoke, but at this moment in another courtyard, Zheng Qi was standing outside the pavilion, listening to a woman playing the piano.

The woman is delicate and delicate, with skin like snow, eyebrows like willow leaves, and eyes like autumn waves. Her slender jade fingers are playing lightly on the Yao Qin, and her voice is like crying and complaining, which makes people's hearts tremble.

After the song ended, the woman looked at Zheng Qi: "Xiao Qi, why are you here?"

Zheng Qi looked at his sister with a worried look on his face: "Sister, did something happen?"

He could hear the resentment in the music.

"It's nothing." Zheng Mei put away the Yao Qin with a smile and asked curiously: "Why are you here at this time?"

"Lao Wu was crippled by Chen Feng. I came here to see the elders. The Chen family is so ambitious, but the elders still want to marry into the Chen family. They are simply stupid."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Zheng Mei scolded her brother seriously. If the elders heard this, even if his brother was a genius in the clan, he would still be punished.

"Sister, don't worry, I'll just complain to you."

Zheng Qi chuckled. He was not a fool, so he would not say this out loud.

Zheng Mei looked at her brother, but her mind flew to seven days ago.

Seven days ago, the ancestor suddenly summoned her, and her heart sank at that time. During that time, many elders in the clan said they wanted to marry with the Chen family, but she was afraid that the ancestor would let her marry with the Chen family.

Chen Yang, the leader of the younger generation of the Chen family, has a bad reputation in Firestone City. Many female cultivators have been ruined by him. Just because the Chen family is so powerful, the family members behind these female cultivators can only swallow their anger.

Naturally, she didn't want to marry such a person.

When she arrived at her ancestor's place and listened to his words, she was thankful that her ancestor had no intention of letting her marry Chen Ming. But what made her heart sink was that although her ancestor had no intention of marrying the Chen family, she still wanted her to marry him. She married a strong man in the late Nascent Soul stage and even became his concubine.

Zheng Mei wanted to refuse, but the ancestor's next words made her fall silent.

"Mei'er, the Zheng family is in turmoil now. The Chen family and several other families are eyeing our Zheng family. When I grow old, these people will tear the Zheng family into pieces. Ordinary clan members are fine, but your brother He is a young genius from my Zheng family. In order to avoid future troubles, these people will never let Qi'er live."

Weeds and roots.

Zheng Mei understands this truth, and she also knows that her ancestor is telling the truth. If the Zheng family really perishes, her brother will never survive, and these people will not let her brother go.

Finally, she agreed to the ancestor.

For the family, and even more for his brother.

"Sister, what happened!"

Zheng Qi's anxious voice brought Zheng Mei back from her thoughts. Seeing her brother's anxious expression, Zheng Mei was about to speak up.

"Sister, don't lie to me. If you don't tell me the truth, I will go to the clan leader and ancestor."

Zheng Qi thought of a possibility and his eyes widened instantly: "Sister, does the clan want you to marry the Chen family?"

"No."

"I don't believe it, I'm going to find the clan leader now."

Zheng Qi turned around and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard. Zheng Mei saw her brother's anxious figure and said quickly: "Stop."

"Sister, then tell me the truth."

Zheng Mei looked at her brother's resolute expression, sighed softly, and said: "The clan has arranged a marriage for a late Nascent Soul strongman, and this person has a great background and can protect our Zheng family."

"what!"

There was uncontrollable anger on Zheng Qi's face: "In the late Nascent Soul stage, wouldn't that be... wouldn't that be... no, I have to go find the clan leader."

In the late Nascent Soul stage, if you have been practicing for at least a thousand years, wouldn’t you be just an old man?

How could the clan do this?

"It's useless, this marriage was decided by our ancestors."

Zheng Mei walked out of the pavilion, walked up to her brother, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, listen to my sister and don't make trouble. Our family is at a critical juncture now, and there is nothing our ancestor can do."

"But...but I can't sacrifice you, sister."

"This is not a sacrifice, this is..."

Zheng Mei suddenly stopped in the middle of her words. She put her hands on her hair and said, "Sister, I have to leave for something. You should go back first."

Watching his sister leave the yard, Zheng Qi did not go back, but walked towards the inside of the mansion, where he wanted to find the clan leader.

……

……

"Thank you, Sect Master. I learned that Sect Master is good at tea, so I specially prepared a pot of spring tea on the snow."

"Oh, then I would like to try it."

Xie Jingxing and the ancestors of the Zheng family left, and Chu Ning was the only one left in the entire courtyard. Chu Ning was a little helpless, what is this?

The two parties went on a blind date, and then the two introducers found an excuse to sneak away, leaving behind the two parties involved in the blind date?

After tea time, a beautiful figure appeared at the door of the courtyard.

The gorgeous clothes are flowing, the steps are full of lotus, and the pink-sleeved dress with one shoulder is exposed, revealing the slender neck.

A gentle and gentle beauty.

"The looks are not inferior to Tang Xiaoniu and Xu Ruobing."

Seeing Zheng Mei, Chu Ning's eyes lit up, and Zheng Mei's eyes were flashing with brilliance at this moment. She was already prepared that this late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse looked like a middle-aged man or an old man.

Because most of the Nascent Soul powerhouses she saw kept the appearance of old men, only a few looked middle-aged, and this was the first time she had seen someone as young as the person in front of her.

Although appearance does not represent true age, no one wants to face an old face, even if this young body contains an old soul that is thousands of years old. “The little girl Zheng Mei has met her senior.”

"There's no need to call me senior, I'm just crazy about how old you are."

Chu Ning laughed, and Zheng Mei was stunned. "How old" is Chi?

"The little girl is one hundred and twenty years old this year."

Zheng Mei bit her lip and looked at Chu Ning. Chu Ning smiled slightly: "Exactly, except for the integer, my fractions are the same as yours."

One thousand one hundred and twenty years old.

This is Chu Ning's current age.

Hearing Chu Ning's shameless words, Zheng Mei felt relieved. This man was not as rigid as those seniors, which was a good thing. She didn't want her future husband to be lifeless.

"Senior, can you understand music?"

"Understood."

"The little girl plays the piano, please give me some advice from my senior."

Did you develop a talent so quickly?

Chu Ning sat down gracefully, Zheng Mei raised her hand, and the guqin appeared. She played it gently with her sleeves, then rolled up her sleeves and sat down slowly.

"The frost clears the sleeves, and the sound of the piano makes the face drunk."

Hearing Chu Ning's comment, Zheng Mei's eyes lit up, but she didn't answer and started playing.

Chu Ning listened to the sound of the piano with a pleasant smile on his face. As for music, he has visited the local customs and customs in various places over the years, and those girls have played for him a lot. It is true to say that he has a "little understanding" of it.

The sound of the piano is filled with resentment, seeming to be unwilling and at a loss...

It seems that this girl doesn't really want to be his concubine.

Come to think of it, this Zheng Mei is also the eldest daughter of the Zheng family, and she also likes music. In her previous life, she was one of those literary young women with a good family background.

Most of the literary young women are arrogant and are generally unwilling to accept family marriages, let alone be concubines to an old man like themselves.

After playing the song, Zheng Mei raised her head and looked at Chu Ning with her beautiful eyes.

"Young girl has expressed all her thoughts in this song." Chu Ning smiled slightly: "I have a suggestion. I wonder if the girl is willing to listen to it?"

"Senior, please speak."

"Since you call me senior, are you willing to recognize me as your "godfather"?"

He couldn't accept a concubine anymore, and now he figured out what the ancestor of the Zheng family was thinking, so let's accept her as a goddaughter.

"Godfather?"

Zheng Mei was stunned, and then smiled, but this smile was filled with sadness.

The ancestor asked herself to be a concubine, which means that this person already has a Taoist companion, but now he wants to be called "godfather". It seems that the Taoist partner is too strong and does not dare to take a concubine.

Or maybe this person has a special hobby?

I heard that there are many seniors in the cultivation world who have become a little abnormal because they have lived for too long.

Forget it, aren't concubines and goddaughters the same?

"Little girl, listen to your seniors."

"Since you agree, how can you still call me senior?"

"Mei'er has met her godfather."

Zheng Mei stood up, Yingying Yifu, and Chu Ning had a smile on her face. She was really smart, so the ancestor of the Zheng family could feel at ease.

"Okay, since I have adopted you as my goddaughter, I naturally cannot take you as my godfather in vain. Please keep this as a meeting gift."

Chu Ning raised her hand, and a storage bag flew towards Zheng Mei. Zheng Mei took it respectfully, but did not rush to check it, but slowly walked towards Chu Ning: "Godfather, my daughter sees that the godfather is a little tired, why not Let the daughter wait for her godfather to rest."

Chu Ning:......

This girl misunderstood.

Zheng Mei felt soft and fragrant in her arms, and her whole body felt as if she had no bones. Chu Ning quickly pushed away, and her figure disappeared on the spot and appeared a few meters away.

"Ahem, I am serious. I accept you as my goddaughter and have no other thoughts."

Chu Ning looked serious, but Zheng Mei's pretty face was filled with blush at this moment. She had misunderstood.

"Fuck...godfather."

Zheng Mei's voice was as loud as a mosquito's. If Chu Ning hadn't had good hearing, she might not have been able to hear her clearly.

Knowing Zheng Mei's embarrassment at the moment, Chu Ning said: "Maybe you are a little uncomfortable with this change of identity. You should go back and rest first."

"Thank you godfather."

Zheng Mei lowered her head and blushed, and left the yard in a hurry.

Chu Ning also smiled bitterly, what kind of thing is this?

……

……

"Did you accept that girl from the Zheng family as your goddaughter?"

When Xie Jingxing heard Chu Ning's words, he also had a look of surprise on his face. He had seen the girl from the Xie family, she had a good appearance, and her cultivation aptitude was also very good. The most important thing is that this girl was very talented in music.

Rhythm is also one of the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals. Low-level music lawyers are nothing. If you can practice it to a high level, it will be helpful to the enlightenment of the powerful gods. This is why he agreed to the conditions proposed by the ancestor of the Zheng family.

"Sect Master, I really just recognize my daughter."

Seeing the sect master's expression, Chu Ning knew that the sect master was probably thinking wrongly.

How wrong the world has been to me.

"It's up to you. I think the ancestor of the Zheng family can accept it."

Xie Jingxing didn't care whether Chu Ning really accepted the title of "goddaughter" or liked the title of "goddaughter".

……

……

Firestone City, Zuixian Tower.

Zheng Qi was drinking like crazy at the moment. Not long ago, he went to see the clan leader, but he was severely scolded by the clan leader. Feeling extremely depressed, he went to Zuixian Tower to drink.

What Zheng Qi didn't notice was that soon after he entered the restaurant, someone left in a hurry, and after a while, three young men walked in.

"Then Zheng Qi will drink in this box."

"If you dare to come out alone at this time, then give him a good beating."

"Just a beating? Brother Yang, if you want me to see you, why don't you just destroy him?"

"You know what the heck, Zheng Qi's sister is a great beauty, and our brother Yang is still waiting to return home with the beauty in his arms. If Zheng Qi is abolished, wouldn't Zheng Qi's sister resent our brother Yang?"

Chen Yang just smiled faintly after listening to his companion's words. He must get Zheng Mei as his daughter. As for whether he would resent himself for getting rid of Zheng Qi, he didn't care at all, because if Zheng Qi was not abolished, Zheng Mei would Hate yourself.

The elders of the family have already explained to themselves that when the ancestor of the Zheng family dies, the Chen family will unite with several other families to completely annex the Zheng family.

The reason why I just beat up Zheng Qi is because the ancestor of the Zheng family still has some time left. At this time, we cannot push the Zheng family too hastily. Otherwise, if the ancestor of the Zheng family ignores it and goes crazy to retaliate against the Chen family, It will also bring losses to the family.

……

……

The ancestor of the Zheng family had a look of regret on his face. Chu Ning only accepted Meier as his goddaughter instead of his concubine. This relationship was a little shallow, but he also knew that if he persisted, he would only offend the other party. Leave.

Although I don’t know why I had to bury my body in Danshan Sect after my death, was it because I practiced some secret method and needed the body of a powerful person to transform into gods?

But the ancestor of the Zheng family knows that no matter what the purpose of Danshan Sect is, the reward given by others is very generous, and the corpse of the powerful man who transforms into gods is not of much use.

Using his own body to exchange for the Zheng family's thousand-year stability is a good deal.

"Since Fellow Daoist Chu has recognized his goddaughter, let's hold a ceremony."

"no problem."

Chu Ning nodded. The ancestor of the Zheng family wanted to publicize this relationship and let other forces in Firestone City know that even if he wanted to take a concubine, the ancestor of the Zheng family would hold a ceremony. Now, the concubine-taking ceremony has just been turned into a ceremony of worship. Godfather ceremony.

After the matter was settled, Chu Ning suddenly looked at the entrance of the courtyard.

There, an old man was running over in a hurry.

"Ancestor."

After the old man came in, he first bowed respectfully to Xie Jingxing and Chu Ning, and then said: "The Chen family injured Qi'er."

"What, the Chen family is going too far!"

The ancestor of the Zheng family had an angry look on his face. The Chen family knew that his end was approaching and began to test the Zheng family's bottom line.

"You two, sit down for a moment while I go take care of things."

Xie Jing Xing asked calmly: "Who is this injured person?"

"Qi'er is the most talented member of the younger generation of our Zheng family. He is... Mei'er's biological brother."

Xie Jingxing turned his eyes to Chu Ning: "Since he is your goddaughter's biological brother, he is your godson. You can handle this matter."

Godson?

The corner of Chu Ning's mouth twitched. He had no intention of accepting his son.

But he understood the intention of his sect leader and stepped forward to deal with the Chen family. This way, the ancestor of the Zheng family would be completely relieved.
