Slow and immortal

Chapter 157

Chapter 156

Seeing Qin Qian froze suddenly, the middle-aged man couldn't help laughing and said: "You don't have to be so nervous, this is just a suggestion, and there is no suspicion of coercion. I know you never pay attention to this matter, but after all, you are not young "The elders of the clan have been talking about it for a long time. Instead of letting them forcefully point out the marriage, you should choose by yourself and find a suitable one. In my opinion, this girl is not bad. Although her cultivation level is a bit low at this stage, no matter whether The attainments in crafting, the strength of cultivation, or the attitude he has shown are all very extraordinary, if he can see you right, he should be a good candidate to become the matriarch of the family in the future."

"Brother! What do you mean? In my heart, only you are worthy of the title of the head of the Qin family!" Qin Qian heard what he meant, and couldn't help but frowned and refuted.

"Hehe, don't get excited. Listen to me first. Although I'm still nearly 5 years away from the Great Limit, it's still too early for everyone to abdicate. When I go to the upper realm, I hope that the position of the head of this family can be passed on to you."

After talking about the middle-aged man, or should be the Patriarch of the Qin Family, Qin Ran looked at him with a serious expression, and added at the end, "Looking at all the brothers in the clan, including my disciples and grandchildren, you are the only one who is qualified to be this Heavy duty."

"Brother, let's put this matter aside for the time being. A few elders will worry about it." Qin Qian didn't seem to care much about the Patriarch, but showed joy at what Qin Ran said about the ascension. "I heard what the elder brother said, but it won't be long before we can break through this last barrier?"

"Well, I can't hide this matter from you. I have a hunch that it won't take more than a thousand years before I can break through the realm of Nascent Soul Dzogchen!"

Ascension to the Upper Realm can be said to be the final affiliation of all cultivators. It can be encountered but not sought. At this time, Qin Qian said happily for his elder brother from the bottom of his heart, "Congratulations, elder brother! Then I would like to wish elder brother an early success. "

"You," Qin Ran shook his head helplessly, "you should consider what I said, and don't just avoid it anymore. Before I ascended, the position of Patriarch was the only knot in my heart. With the support of the courtyard, the candidates they are looking at are none other than Qin Shang or Qin Tian. You also know that these two people are either unstable, or they are not well thought out, and they are too murderous. How can the Qin family be handed over to them? ? If it wasn't for you to take care of me, I really couldn't leave with peace of mind. Otherwise, even if I ascended to the upper realm, I would let the ancestors in the upper realm know that the Qin family has gone downhill, and I would have no face to face them. Qin Qian, I know you are dedicated to the Tao, no I would like to seek a Taoist companion, and I don't want to participate in the internal struggle of this clan, but you can bear to watch the Qin family fall? This is the Qin family's order, and it is also their duty, and you must not go against it."

After Qin Ran's earnest persuasion, Qin Qian had no choice but to smile wryly, "Brother, you don't need to say any more, I am grateful for the favor of your brother, let me think about it, but it seems that this girl escaped to Taiyi because of a forced marriage. I'm afraid she will abscond again."

"Using force on a woman is the most unfashionable method. If my Qin family really does this and spread it, I'm afraid it will be ridiculed by other families and factions, so I'm just suggesting it. She doesn't like restraint just like you. It's rare that you agree so much, so I think you are very suitable." As he spoke, Qin Ran suddenly looked up and down Qin Qian with a smile on his face: "And I believe that the sixteenth brother is a good-looking talent, and he is a dragon among men. Little girl is strong, as long as you are willing to work hard, it should not be difficult to win a girl's heart, the key depends on your own will."

own will?Where can one's true will be accommodated in this big family, this is just a false will derived from no other way.Qin Qian was silent, and after a while he slowly said: "Brother, is there anything else? If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Qin Ran knew that this matter was very important, and he really needed time to think about it, so he didn't press anymore, he just said: "I've said all I need to say, by the way, since the girl entered the Qin family for a hundred years, how can she have a monthly salary?" It was delivered on time, but someone maliciously withheld it?"

"No, although this girl seldom runs around in the various courtyards, she treats others with neither humility nor arrogance, is humble and courteous, and with her skill in crafting weapons, all the courtyards have a good impression of her. The monthly salary can be said to be more or less. There should be people giving her extra gifts from time to time, and the Qin family is doing very well." Apart from what the elder brother said, Qin Ran still admires this girl's way of dealing with people.

"Well, that's good. Let me tell you that from now on, her monthly salary will be increased to the same level as the Nascent Soul cultivator, and all the refining materials in the refining hall will not be charged as long as they are used by her. In the end, she forged The Qin family will buy the magic weapon that is released at a price five times higher than the market price, and you can figure out the rest, and I will call Qin Ping later, I have something to discuss with him."

Qin Qian nodded, "Okay, then do we need to send someone to pay attention to her during this 'treasure hunt'?"

Qin Ran didn't take it seriously, "No, she's not weak, and when monks are looking for opportunities, they don't like to be attacked by others. The most important thing is to take care of the children and pay attention. If there is anything that needs help, just go up and add hands."

Looking at Qin Qian's expression hesitant to speak again, he smiled again: "I thought you were worried about her, but it seems that you are not. Why do you suspect her motive for participating in the 'treasure hunt' this time?"

"She is just a master craftsman, but she insists on participating in the 'treasure hunt'. Now it is a critical moment, which inevitably makes people suspicious." Qin Qian did not hide his concerns.

"Hehe, it's true to be cautious, but you also have to consider that although she has too much aura as a master craftsman, she is still a monk who strives for immortality with the heavens in the final analysis. Not all craftsmen devote all their attention to crafts. On. And a long time ago, when "Kongling Valley" did not belong to the Qin family, there was a map that circulated. At that time, "Kongling Valley" was not called "Kongling Valley" on this map, but "Tianbaokeng". , it is rumored that there is a mysterious refining material that has never been heard in the world. I don’t need to point it out later, do I?”

"Brother still thinks far-reachingly, then I will go down and settle this matter."

Speaking of which, Qin Qian got up to leave, and before he stepped out of the meeting hall, he heard Qin Ran say behind him: "Sixteenth brother, you might as well think about it carefully, although the immortal way is ruthless, the human world is full of love, alas... ...you go."

On the eighth day of June, the day after the "Treasure Hunt" competition ended, a command passed down from the Qin Family's Yangfeng Peak instantly broke the peace of the Qin Family, especially at the Yinfeng Peak, where Xiao Yao once again became a topic of conversation.Being given such a generous treatment, the attitude of the higher-ups is beyond words, and the courts began to fawn on the gift-givers again in an endless stream.

Even Xiao Yao herself felt flattered, she never thought that the Qin family would spend so much money on her.Obviously Qin Ran made the right move. Xiao Yao's character is soft and not strong. If others are willing to profit from her, she will also secretly take care of it. The Qin family came here for her skill in refining weapons, so she would He will spare no effort to fulfill his duties as a disciple and forge him with all his heart. At the same time, he has a little more affection for the head of the Qin family invisibly. As for the disciples of the various courtyards, they still have reservations.

After another two days like this, Xiao Yao had just finished training on this day, when she heard a report from a servant, saying that a senior came to give the identity jade ring of the participants of this "treasure hunt".

Um, sending Nascent Soul Da Neng to come to the door even to give a ring, she was moved, but she didn't think it was too troublesome when she thought about it, and she couldn't be rude in the face of these Da Neng.Of course, she just complained and complained, but she respectfully greeted her into the house.

"Thank you, senior, junior. It's really frustrating for you to bother senior to come to the door in person for such a trivial matter." Looking at the handsome man in front of her, she thanked him politely with a just right smile.

It's just that this handsome man looked a little strange. After nodding his head, his eyes kept falling on himself. He didn't say a word for a long time, his eyes were as warm as jade, clear and clear, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Everyone just sat there staring at each other, not saying a word.After she drank two cups of tea, she couldn't maintain her smile anymore, and finally had to ask: "This senior, does this senior have other important things to tell the junior? Or do you need the junior to help you refine the weapon?"

The man was startled, curled his thin lips, and finally said, "Xiao Xiaoyou..."

Thankfully, the Buddha finally spoke.

"I think you are a woman who cultivates alone outside. You must have experienced a lot of hardships along the way. Have you ever felt tired?"

Scared, what kind of question is this? Xiao Yao was a little baffled by the question. Looking at this powerful man again, for some reason, a touch of sadness was covered on his handsome face. In the mist, people can't help but want to peep.

Although she didn't know why such a romantic person would be so emotional, she still replied honestly: "Being enlightened and becoming a fairy, one day you will be able to travel the entire vast universe freely. Never got tired."

Seeing her eyes brighten instantly and her expression firm, Qin Qian couldn't help feeling envious for a moment. It was his wish to be able to live for himself without any fetters, but it's a pity...

"That's right, when you pursue something, a person who can be unfettered in his heart really never tires, which is very enviable." He looked at her, and suddenly smiled, "Xiao Xiaoyou, although it's just a few words, but I'm Jue and you hit it off right away, I don’t know if I can visit you often and discuss the Dao together?”

What does he mean?Xiao Yao was immediately alert, but she couldn't see any malice from the other party's surface, as if she was sincerely making friends with others. In this situation where the judgment was unclear, she could only be polite: "Where, if you can discuss with seniors, no matter how you look at it It is the junior who has benefited a lot, but the junior spends a lot of time on refining weapons, and there is very little time to spare, if the junior retreats and cannot meet guests, then please forgive me, senior."

Qin Ran didn't answer, just smiled and stood up, just when she thought she could send the Great God away, the other party unexpectedly reached out and touched the top of her head lightly,
"Always be so careful, aren't you tired?"

For a moment of panic and alertness, all negative emotions appeared on Xiao Yao's face, and even the charm was quietly held in her hand.

It's just that Qin Ran no longer made any overstepping movements, and stood at the door in a blink of an eye, "That jade ring is my identity verification, and I need to keep it on my hand after entering the 'Empty Spirit Valley', and this ring still has a large capacity The storage space can store any treasure. The head of the family has already said that all the things you find during this 'treasure hunt' will belong to you, and the Qin family will not charge any commission."

Seeing that her complexion was still not good, Qin Ran smiled again, "You don't need to be nervous, my actions are not malicious. I will come to visit some other day for the discussion of Dao, so I will leave."

He left lightly and stayed in the room, Xiao Yao's expression was cloudy and thoughtful.

At the same time, Qin Qian sighed slightly the moment he stepped out of the Weiming residence, even if the sunlight shone into his eyes, the inside was dark and dark with no light.

He knew that he didn't have any feelings for this girl, but compared to the couples from other courts and even other families, he was much more comfortable. As the Qin family, he had no choice.
