"Okay, Liu Dalang, you really still have that beautiful woman in mind!" the middle-aged woman said angrily, "I'm afraid this is the real purpose of your coming to Qingfeng Mountain!"

"You mother-in-law, I'm afraid it's not in the water, that heroine and fairy-like character are not from the same world as us at all. The middle-aged man Liu Dalang couldn't cry or laugh, "Maybe people won't look at us squarely, why did I come all the way to her?"

"Really?" the woman said suspiciously, "but I can't believe that stupid girl like this." ”

"Whether it's true or not, it's always right to take a look. Liu Dalang patiently persuaded, "If it's really her, then we're going to be developed." ”

"Even if it's really that girl, will she still listen to us now?" The woman seemed to agree with Liu Dalang's point of view, but she was worried, "The fifth on the Yingjie list, that's a great big shot." ”

"No matter how great it is, we didn't raise it. Liu Dalang said disappreciatively, "Adoptive parents are also parents, how can a daughter disobey her parents' wishes?"

Hearing this, Zhong Wen couldn't help frowning, and looked carefully at the middle-aged man and woman who spoke.

I saw that the man called "Liu Dalang" was about forty years old, with a boxy Chinese face, short stature, dark skin, and a shabby gray coat, and his appearance was quite commensurate with the name "Dalang".

And the middle-aged woman is the same age as Liu Dalang, with bulging cheekbones and sunken cheeks on her long horse face, she knows at a glance that she is a bitter character, her skin is waxy yellow, and the dress on her body has been washed white, obviously her family is not wealthy.

If it weren't for what these two people said in person, it would be really difficult for Zhong Wen to connect the flowery-looking Liu Qiqi with the obscene middle-aged man and woman.

Could it be that Qiqi's adoptive parents live in poverty, and when they learned that their adopted daughter is now prosperous, they want to come to take refuge?

Looking at the shabby clothes on the two of them, Zhong Wen couldn't help but speculate secretly.

"Dalang, I can't walk, shall we spend two silver dollars on a ride?" the woman said.

"There is still such a little way left, what kind of car to take?" Liu Dalang said unhappily, "What a Bai family mother-in-law!"

"You poor ghost, pig head, iron rooster!" the woman scolded when she heard this, "I don't even want to sit in a silver dollar car, I, Zhu Cuihua, was really blind back then, how could I find such a useless thing as you!"

Liu Dalang saw that his wife was furious, and his tone softened: "Okay, let's take the car, just take the car, you be quiet, don't let people see the joke." ”

"Do you know now that you want to save face, and you dared to scold me just now!" Zhu Cuihua still scolded and said, "Besides, if this matter is done, our family will designate Feihuang Tengda in the future, maybe you can buy a carriage of your own, what are you still picking and searching?"

"Isn't it still ......?"

Mr. and Mrs. Liu were arguing as they walked towards the horses and carriages in the distance, and soon disappeared from sight.

Zhong Wen thought for a moment, and finally didn't come forward to talk, just shook his head and strode into the vegetable market.

......

"Wow, Zhong Wen, is this Qingfeng Mountain?"

In the reluctant gaze of the coachman Xiaolin, Zhong Wen took Zhuma and Ji Weizhu up the stairs, slowly climbing along the mountain road, the autumn mountains are still the fragrance of birds and flowers, the fairy mist is misty, the pleasant birdsong and the bubbling sound of the mountain stream complement each other, weaving into the most beautiful song of nature, compared with the Tianying Peak located on the border of Xiqi, it is a little less extensive, but it is more quiet.

The little girl Zhuma grew up in the mountains since she was a child, and once she stepped on the mountain road, she naturally gave birth to a sense of intimacy in her heart, and couldn't help but run and jump, cheering, as if she had returned to the village of the Dala tribe.

What a rich spiritual power!

Ji Weizhu's focus is completely different from that of the little girl, the aura on Qingfeng Mountain is so strong that it almost turns into an entity, and it is not inferior to any holy land at all, and she can't help but be surprised.

The three of them walked extremely fast, and in less than two quarters of time, they could already faintly see the quaint buildings on the top of the mountain through the spiritual mist.

Zhong Wen's heart was hot, and he didn't feel a little faster under his feet, and he was about to approach the main gate of the Floating Flower Palace, but he heard a sudden sound of dispute from inside.

He stepped into the courtyard door in three steps and two steps, and the first thing that caught his eye was Liu Qiqi's adoptive parents, Liu Dalang and Zhu Cuihua.

And Lin Zhiyun and Liu Qiqi stood opposite Liu Dalang, and against the backdrop of the two daughters' beautiful faces and graceful figures, they highlighted the down-and-out appearance of Liu Dalang and his wife.

Around the courtyard, there were Shangguan Junyi, Leng Wushuang, Nangong Ling and other women of the Floating Flower Palace, and even the newly entered Ziyuan and Coral were also present.

At this time, the Floating Flower Palace is much more popular than when Zhong Wen first came, and many beautiful women appear at the same time, just like a hundred flowers blooming, competing for beauty, the sound of warblers and swallows, the beads are surrounded by greenery, Zhong Wen's eyes are straight, the corners of his mouth are almost salivating, and he secretly swears in his heart that he will never go down the mountain again in this life.

However, to his surprise, in the face of his adoptive parents, Liu Qiqi's face was not filled with the joy of reunion after a long absence, but his face was pale, his slender body trembled slightly, and there were tears in his eyes.

This is the first time Zhong Wen has seen a weak and helpless look on the face of Liu Qiqi, the "king of fights" in the Floating Flower Palace.

And Lin Zhiyun, the palace master who has always been mild-tempered and kind to others, is also flushed and angry, which seems quite abnormal.

Noticing Zhong Wen's appearance, Leng Wushuang, Shangguan Junyi and Zheng Yueting, the three confidantes, showed joy and tenderness in their eyes at the same time, but they didn't come up to say hello, but just made a color to him, and looked at Liu Qiqi's location again.

"At the beginning, Zhiyun brought Qiqi back to Qingfeng Mountain, but it was promised by the two of them. I only heard Lin Zhiyun say in a stiff tone, "Now that Qiqi has not completed her studies, it is unreasonable for you to take her away." ”

"Lin, Lin Palace Master, we, we did agree with you to take Qiqi away. In the face of a peerless beauty like Lin Zhiyun, Liu Dalang couldn't help but be a little nervous, and his tongue became less sharp, "But, but I don't plan to let her stay in the Floating Flower Palace forever, such as, such as, now ......."

Zhu Cuihua is a pungent character, seeing that her man behaved so badly, she couldn't help but say: "Lin Palace Master, although Qiqi is not from our husband and wife, but she was also raised by us since childhood, and there is not much difference from her own daughter. ”

Lin Zhiyun sneered, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

Liu Dalang and his wife are poor, although they were entrusted to adopt Liu Qiqi, but they spent all the expenses sent by the other party to raise Liu Qiqi on their two sons, and they didn't care about this nominal "adopted daughter", not only only gave her one meal a day, but also used her to vent her emotions and often beat and scold.

Lin Zhiyun, who was passing by the Liu family back then, saw the hungry and skinny Liu Qiqi, and felt pity for the little girl and wanted to rescue the little girl from the sea of suffering, so he proposed to take her back to Qingfeng Mountain to learn art, promising that not only did not need to apprentice, but also provided Liu Qiqi's meals and accommodation.

As soon as they heard that they could get rid of Liu Qiqi's burden, Liu Dalang and his wife, who were already disgusted with her, naturally raised their hands in favor, and that attitude was really as positive as they were.

Therefore, listening to her shamelessly say this, even Lin Zhiyun, who has always had an excellent temper, almost exploded emotionally.

"Now Qiqi can be ranked on the list of heroes and heroes, which has far exceeded our expectations. I only heard Zhu Cuihua continue, "Besides, this girl is not too young, and she is at the age of marriage." ”

When Liu Qiqi heard the word "marriage", his face turned even pale, and he shook his head again and again: "I, I don't want to get married!"

"Nonsense!" Liu Dalang didn't dare to make a mistake to Lin Zhiyun, but he scolded this adopted daughter, but he came casually, without any psychological burden, "Men should get married, women should get married, this has been the case since ancient times, how can you say that if you don't marry, you won't marry?"

"Qiqi, what your Abba said is right, what kind of age you should do. Zhu Cuihua saw that Lin Zhiyun and the others had a gloomy look on their faces, and knew that Liu Dalang's words were too much, so she hurriedly came out to play a round and said, "Father and mother raised you since childhood, and it will never hurt you. ”

"Oh, I don't know who the two of you want to marry Qiqi?" Lin Zhiyun's voice became colder and colder, "I'm really Master Qiqi, and I always have the right to ask about the apprentice's future husband, right?"

"Don't hide it from the palace master, Qiqi is really lucky. When Liu Dalang heard her question, he suddenly came to his senses, and his face was full of pride, "This time it turned out to be Ye Fan's son of the Ye family in Qingniu City who came to propose marriage, and I don't know if it was the blessing she had cultivated in several lifetimes." ”

"Ye family?" Lin Zhiyun then asked, "I don't know how this Ye Gongzi cultivates?"

"I heard from friends in the city that Ye Fan Gongzi is not only handsome and has a prominent family background, but he is also a great cultivation genius. Liu Dalang didn't have any concept of the cultivation realm, he just boasted to himself, "Before he is thirty years old, he already has the ninth level of cultivation of the human wheel, which can be called the dragon among people." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was collectively petrified, and they didn't know how to interface for a while.

"Uncle Liu, do you know what kind of cultivation Qiqi is?" Zheng Yueting on the side couldn't help but interject.

"I don't understand that. Liu Dalang obviously didn't care about cultivation, "We ordinary people, we don't have to care too much about cultivation, as long as Qiqi can find a good family to marry, it can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of our old couple." ”

If he was still a little apprehensive before going up the mountain, at this time, he saw that Liu Qiqi was so smart, and the shriveled yellow-haired girl in his impression was a world of difference, and he suddenly determined the idea of relying on his adopted daughter to make a windfall.

"The two of you are willing to plan for Qiqi, which is naturally excellent. Lin Zhiyun easily suppressed the anger in her heart, and said calmly, "However, Qiqi is talented and intelligent, and it is a good material for cultivation, Zhiyun still hopes that she can continue to practice in the Floating Flower Palace, don't waste this great talent." ”

"It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate, now the world is peaceful, and the country and the people are safe. Zhu Cuihua said disapprerovingly, "If you want to cultivate so much, it is better to marry someone earlier and teach your husband and children, which is the right way." ”

"In that case, it's better to let Qiqi decide for himself. Lin Zhiyun saw that Liu Dalang and his wife were determined to take Liu Qiqi away, so she had to sigh and say, "Qiqi, are you willing to go down the mountain with your adoptive parents?"

"Master, the disciple wants to stay with you and practice. Liu Qiqi replied without hesitation, "The disciple doesn't want to get married!"

"You have seen it, you have seen it. Lin Zhiyun turned his head to look at Liu Dalang and his wife, "Qiqi is dedicated to the Tao, and he doesn't want to leave with you, if he succeeds in cultivation in the future, it will not be a good thing." ”

"Lin Palace Master, what you said is not right. Zhu Cuihua's face changed, and she said sharply, "Since ancient times, the marriage of children has been decided by their parents, how can they have the right to choose by themselves?

"How could Zhiyun have obstructed the two of you?" Lin Zhiyun couldn't help but say in a daze when she saw Zhu Cuihua turn her face, "Qiqi is now a master of the Heavenly Wheel, and the future is promising, and the future is immeasurable, but you want to force her to marry a human wheel cultivator, it's ridiculous, she doesn't want to, isn't it a matter of course?"

Liu Dalang was stunned when he heard this, although he didn't understand what the concept of "Heavenly Wheel" was, he could also hear Liu Qiqi's cultivation, I am afraid that he was far above that Ye Gongzi.

"Abba, Grandma, this matter has nothing to do with Master. Liu Qiqi stretched out his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said loudly, "My daughter has decided not to marry in this life, and is dedicated to pursuing supreme swordsmanship, please go back." ”

"It's the other way around!" Zhu Cuihua was furious when she heard this, "What a conscienceless little girl, if it weren't for me and Da Lang pulling you up with a handful of and urine, how can you be now, now that you worship the master, learn the skills, and your wings are stiff, you won't listen to your parents, what's the reason!"

Liu Qiqi was scolded with his head and face, and tears appeared faintly in the corners of his eyes, but he still bit his lip tightly and did not speak.

"God, earth! I can't imagine that our old couple has worked hard for most of their lives to raise such an unfilial daughter!" Seeing that Liu Qiqi was indifferent, Zhu Cuihua simply turned his heart sideways, lying on the ground and rolling around, "I'm not alive, I'm not alive!"
