Chapter 43: Shock

For what other people thought in their hearts, Murong Tianyan didn't care at all. That space spirit weapon is her thing, so naturally it will be whoever she wants to give it to, then give it to whomever she wants. And, if she had to give gifts to those who pretended to be snakes, she would rather throw them away.

When Chen Wenrui looked at Chen Xianzhu, she gritted her teeth with hatred. Obviously, the two of them stepped forward together to give Murong a salute, but only Chen Xianzhu received the gift, and she didn't have anything.

Li Xinqing was even more dissatisfied with Murong Qianyan at this time. She believed that with the introduction she had just made, Murong Qianyan must have known that this Chen Xianzhu was a concubine. However, now Murong Qianyan is so good to a concubine's child, but he doesn't have any expression for the two children she gave birth to, isn't this underestimating her?

All the people's attention was focused on Murong Tianyan and Chen Xianzhu, and no one noticed that a trace of thoughtfulness flashed on Chen Shanghua and the three elders when they looked at Chen Xianzhu.

After the people in the second room sat back in their seats, Chen Shanghua continued to introduce the people in the third room to Murong Qianyan, "Tianyan, this is your third uncle Chen Xianzhong and third uncle Zhao Yaer." ”

Chen Xianzhong looked at Murong Qianyan, and a smile appeared on his honest face, "Tianyan, hello, I am your third uncle." ”

Zhao Ya'er also smiled at Murong, although she hadn't spoken yet, the kindness she released was real.

Looking at Chen Xianzhong and Zhao Ya'er, a sincere smile appeared on Murong Qianyan's face, "Third uncle, third aunt, hello." ”

Unlike the two people in the previous room, in the two people in front of him, Murong Qianyan felt real kindness. She could feel that the third uncle and the third aunt had no bad intentions towards her, and both of them were honest people.

Soon, Zhao Ya'er also began to introduce several of her children to Murong Qianyan, "Tianyan, this is your fourth cousin Chen Xiansong and your fifth cousin Chen Xianbai, as well as your fifth cousin Chen Wenxin, I hope you can get along well in the future." ”

Probably to show their kindness, Chen Xiansong and Chen Xianbai took the initiative to step forward to say hello, "Hello cousin." ”

"Hello two cousins." Murong responded with a smile, "Please give me more advice in the future." ”

Then, Murong Qianyan beckoned to Chen Wenxin again. Chen Wenxin is only seven or eight years old this year, with beautiful hair, and the whole person looks like a cute Lori doll. Moreover, the smart eyes are constantly turning, and it looks even more aura. Such a cute girl, people like it when they see it.

Seeing Murong tilting her face and calling herself, Chen Wenxin didn't recognize her life, so she stepped forward directly and smiled sweetly at Murong tilting.

Chen Wenxin's smile simply hit the cuteness of Murong Qianyan, she directly hugged Chen Wenxin and kissed her. It's just so cute, there is wood?

Subsequently, Murong Qianyan also gave Chen Wenxin a small gourd that was exactly the same as Chen Xianzhu. However, Chen Wenxin did not accept it immediately, but glanced at Chen Ruizhong and Zhao Yaer, and only accepted it after getting the consent of the two.

Chen Xiansong and Chen Xianbai on the side did not show the slightest dissatisfaction from beginning to end, and still stood there with a smile.

After getting to know each other, Murong Qianyan can be regarded as knowing all the people of the Chen family. The people in the big room and the second room don't like her niece very much. However, the people in the third room are quite honest. Of the three children, her third uncle and third aunt were all well educated.

After Chen Shanghua looked around at the people below, he cleared his throat and said, "Okay, today you can be regarded as officially saying hello." In the future, Qian Yan will live in the Chen family, and you must treat her well. ”

"Grandfather, you can rest assured." Chen Xianbin got up, smiled and said, "Since Cousin Tanyan is my aunt's daughter, she is naturally also a member of our Chen family, and we will definitely treat her well." ”

"Hmm." Chen Shanghua nodded with satisfaction, "Qian Yan has only returned to the Chen family not long ago, and many things are still unclear, if something happens, you have to try to let her, you know?" ”

After hearing Chen Shanghua's words, the faces of the people sitting below were different. Try to let Murong tilt face, isn't this clearly saying that they are not allowed to fight with Murong tilting face in the future? Such eccentric words made everyone's hearts uncomfortable. Before, I heard that the head of the family was very fond of Murong Tianyan, and now they have a deeper understanding.

For a while, when everyone looked at Murong Tianyan, their expressions were different.

Facing everyone's gaze, Murong Qianyan acted as if he hadn't seen anything. She still drank her tea calmly, as if nothing had anything to do with her.

However, in fact, Chen Shanghua didn't mean too much when he said these words. The reason why he said this was not because he favored Murong Qianyan, but because Murong Qianyan's identity was different from before, and she now had the ring of the ancestor in her hand, which could represent the ancestor. The people of the Chen family must be respectful to her.

On the other hand, it is because Murong Tianyan's cultivation at this time is profound, and there is also an unknown Huangfu Jue by her side to escort her. If that person doesn't have long eyes and offends Murong Qianyan, then it will be themselves who will suffer at that time.

It's a pity that others don't understand Chen Shanghua's good intentions at this time, in the eyes of everyone, he is naked and biased towards Murong and tilts his face.

Although he felt uncomfortable, Chen Shanghua had already spoken, and everyone could only force a smile and nod their heads.

Seeing everyone's response, Chen Shanghua nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, you all go down first!" Stay here, I still have something to say to you. ”

Seeing Chen Shanghua leave Murong Tianyan alone, the hearts of the others became even more uncomfortable. Everyone wanted to know what it meant by the head of the family leaving Murong Tianyan alone. However, the head of the family had already spoken, and they had no choice but to leave first.

After everyone else left the front hall, only Chen Shanghua, the three elders, and Murong Tianyan and Huang Fu Jue were left in the front hall. For Huang Fujue still staying here, Chen Shanghua has nothing. After getting along for a while, he also saw a lot of things between Murong Tianyan and Huangfu Jue. The two are almost inseparable from each other.

"What do you think?" Chen Shanghua looked at Murong Qianyan and asked tentatively, "Today you have already seen your three uncles and three people, what do you think?" ”

"Grandfather, shouldn't you know more about these three uncles?" Murong smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then why bother asking me again? ”

"You girl." Looking at Murong Qianyan, Chen Shanghua said angrily, "What do I mean?" Don't you understand? Which of your three uncles do you think can take on the heavy responsibility? ”

Murong raised his eyebrows, "Grandfather, are you sure you really want to hear me tell the truth?" ”

"Could it be that you still want to tell some lies to coax me?" Chen Shanghua glanced at Murong and tilted his face, "Although it is the first time we have met, I think you should still have the ability to see people." ”

"Since my grandfather asked like this, then I naturally can't hide it." Murong said with a light smile, "Among these three uncles, none of them can take on the heavy responsibility. ”

She told the truth, her uncle Li Ruixing is narrow-minded, and he is not without the demeanor of taking on great responsibilities at all. The second uncle Li Ruihua is a person who is happy and angry on the surface, such a person has a very straight temperament, but he is easy to be exploited. However, such a person will not play any conspiracy. As for the third uncle Li Ruizhong, he is an honest and honest person. But the third uncle's talent is not high, and although his temperament is good, but he lacks ruthlessness, such a person is a good man, but he definitely can't take on too much responsibility.

After hearing Murong Qianyan's words, Chen Shanghua couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Alas, you're right, none of these three guys can afford the burden of the Chen family." ”

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that none of his three sons could take on the big responsibility, why would he keep holding on to power? He wanted to let go, but he couldn't find a suitable heir. It would be good if their Chen family was like the Xuanyuan family, and there was someone like Xuanyuan Lang.

Now the Chen family has a Murong Yanyan, but it's a pity that this granddaughter is not surnamed Chen, and she doesn't have much ambition for the Chen family.

"Tilt Yan, are you planning to set your sights on the next generation?" The Great Elder looked at Murong and said, "Are you optimistic about Chen Xianzhu?" ”

At this moment, not only the Great Elder, but even Chen Shanghua and the other two elders all set their eyes on Murong Tianyan. They all returned, and the future heir of the Chen family was to be chosen by Murong Qianyan.

"Great Elder, you're thinking too much." After hearing the Great Elder's words, Murong smiled, "I just saw that he was cute, so I just gave him a small gift." Look at that Chen Wenxin, won't I send it too? ”

She really just liked that innocent child, so she would give him a little gift. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of their grandfather, they took a fancy to Chen Xianzhu's child. It's really a big oolong!

"I see!" Chen Shanghua nodded, expressing understanding, and then said, "Tanyan, in fact, you don't need to feel any pressure, we just ask." The heir's affairs are not in a hurry, you can take a look at it slowly. ”

Murong smiled and nodded, she was not in a hurry. Although she promised Chen Tiankun to choose a suitable heir for the Chen family, she was not in a hurry. As the head of a family, in addition to being talented in cultivation, character is also very important. Now she's only just met, and she doesn't know much about it.

Moreover, there is a sentence that she did not say, that is, she chooses an heir, and she does not have to choose among the bloodlines of these descendants. She could see that her grandfather still wanted her to choose an heir among the people she was today, but she was not bound by this bloodline.

Of course, she didn't say these words, after all, she still needs to take into account her grandfather's feelings. Besides, she hasn't had her eye on anyone yet.

Seeing that Murong Qianyan didn't seem to be in a hurry, Chen Shanghua didn't say anything more, he said, "By the way, Tanyan, since you have returned to the Chen family now, then during this time, I will announce your identity and let the people of other families know your identity, do you think this is good?" ”

"It's up to my grandfather." For these things, Murong Tianyan didn't care very much.

"Then it's decided." After Chen Shanghua nodded, he continued to speak, "After a while, the exchange meeting of the major families will also arrive, pour your face, do you want to participate then?" ”

"Meeting?" It was the first time Murong had heard it, and a trace of interest appeared on her face, "Grandfather, what kind of exchange meeting?" ”

"Every 10 years, we hold an exchange meeting with each of our major families." Chen Shanghua opened his mouth to explain, "It is said that the major families communicate with each other, but in fact, it is an open and secret battle between the major families. At that time, it will be divided into several projects, such as the cultivation competition, the alchemy competition, the refining tool competition, and so on. ”

"I see." Murong nodded knowingly.

This kind of competition should be similar to the ones she has participated in before. It's just that the battle between these major families should be even more powerful.

"Speaking of which, for more than a hundred years, our Chen family has been suppressed by the Song family in the alchemy competition." When he talked about this matter, the Great Elder's face became not very good-looking, "We and the Song family are the same four major families, and they are all alchemy families. It's just that now our Chen family has been suppressed by the Song family. ”

It is because the two families are alchemy families, so it is easier to be compared by others. Over the years, the Song family has become more and more arrogant.

"The Song family?" After hearing the words of the Great Elder, a glimmer of light flashed in Murong Qianyan's eyes, "It's really been a long time since I've heard of the Song family. ”

She hasn't forgotten that she still has a grudge against the Song family. Back then, Bai Zhen was sent by Song Liyi of the Song family to deal with her. She hasn't settled accounts with the Song family yet, but this doesn't mean that she will forget about it. On the Song family's side, she will one day return it all.

"What's wrong?" As if he saw that Murong was inappropriate, Chen Shanghua said with concern, "Tanyan, do you know the people of the Song family?" ”

"Nope." Murong tilted his head slightly, "It's just that I have heard of the Song family before. ”

Huangfu Jue on the side glanced at Murong Qianyan thoughtfully when Murong Tianyan was speaking.

This Song family, he also remembers. Maybe it should be said that as long as it is related to Murong Qianyan, she will not forget it, especially if the people of the Song family still try to hurt Murong Tianyan, he will not forget it.

Chen Shanghua said with a hesitant face, "For so many years, there has always been an open and secret struggle between us and the Song family. Especially when it comes to alchemy. ”

Over the years, the Chen family has been suppressed by the Song family, if it weren't for the profound heritage of the Chen family and the divine fire, maybe now the Chen family would no longer be able to continue to sit in the seat of one of the four major families.

"By the way, Tanyan, aren't you Yuan Li's apprentice? Then you should also be an alchemist! Chen Shanghua suddenly asked, "What grade is your current alchemist?" ”

Before, he had already heard that Yuan Li's apprentice was a five-grade alchemist. That should have been more than fifty years ago, and now even if it is not good, it should still be a five-grade alchemist! Actually, to be honest, at such a young age, he is already a fifth-grade alchemist, and he is already very powerful.

In the Chen family, the most talented alchemy is Chen Xianyi in the second room, he is dozens of years older than Murong Tianyan, but he is only a fifth-grade alchemist now.

However, Murong Qianyan's talent in cultivation is so high, even if he is slightly lacking in alchemy, it is understandable.

"Me?" Murong tilted his shoulders and said indifferently, "I'm already an eighth-grade alchemist now. ”

After she came out of the retreat before, she was already a seven-rank alchemist. During this period of time, when she was cultivating, she did not forget to continue to practice alchemy. Some time ago, not long after her advanced merger period, she also made a breakthrough in alchemy. She was now able to refine the Eight Rank Pills.

"What? Eight-grade alchemist? Chen Shanghua couldn't believe his ears, he looked at Murong Tianyan and confirmed again, "Tianyan, you said, you are now an eight-rank alchemist?" Is it? I guess I heard it right! ”

Not only Chen Shanghua, but even the other three elders began to doubt their ears. Murong Qianyan is not yet a hundred years old, and he is already an eight-rank alchemist. Even Yuan Li, who was regarded as a genius back then, couldn't do this. Moreover, Murong is in cultivation, and it is now in the period of integration. If you spend so much energy on cultivation, you will spend a lot less time on alchemy.

However, Murong Qianyan said that she was now an eighth-grade alchemist, was this really possible?

"I'm an eight-rank alchemist, isn't that weird?" Murong Qian frowned, "I only advanced to the Eighth Rank Alchemist a few days ago. ”

She didn't feel like she had improved much. Even though she was busy with cultivation in normal times, she had never slackened off in alchemy. Moreover, alchemy is not a means for her, but a kind of enjoyment. She enjoyed the alchemy process very much.

This time, Chen Shanghua and the three elders finally confirmed that what they heard was really the truth, Murong Tianyan was already an eight-rank alchemist at a young age.

"Hahaha, it's really good." Chen Shanghua couldn't help laughing, "Tanyan, you are really amazing." Unexpectedly, you are now an eight-rank alchemist. If the people of the Song family knew about it, they would definitely be so angry that they would vomit blood. ”

Chen Shanghua never thought that his granddaughter was not only so talented in cultivation, but also in alchemy. Such a young eighth-grade alchemist, in this continent, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a second one. To be able to reach the rank of an eighth-grade alchemist, he is at least several hundred years old. However, now Murong Qianyan has not even reached the age of 100. If it continues to develop like this, even he has no way to foresee what Murong Qianyan's future will be.

He is only a ninth-grade alchemist now, and his alchemy grade is already the highest in the Chen family. The Great Elder was only an eighth-rank alchemist, while the second elder and the third elder were only seventh-grade alchemists.

Not only Chen Shanghua, but also the other three elders couldn't help but have excitement on their faces. I didn't expect that after so many years, such a genius would appear in the Chen family.

Now everyone has a little more understanding of the ancestor's choice.

Murong Tianyan is now less than 100 years old, and he is already a cultivator in the merger stage, and he is also an eight-rank alchemist. As long as she is there, it is impossible for the Chen family to decay.

No wonder the ancestor would let Murong bless the Chen family. In time, Murong Qianyan will definitely become the protection of the Chen family, and they deeply believe this.

Seeing the obvious joy of Chen Shanghua and the three elders, Murong Qianyan didn't say anything, and of course he wasn't proud of it.

She knows that her current achievements seem great in the eyes of outsiders. But only she knows that the distance between her and Huang Fujue is still very large. She still has a long way to go if she wants to be worthy of Huang Fu Jue. She had to work harder.

Huang Fu Jue, who was sitting next to him, seemed to be aware of Murong Qianyan's mood at this time. He didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and quietly held Murong Qianyan's hand.

No one knows better than him, how much effort Murong has put in to get to where he is today. Moreover, he also knew very well in his heart that the reason why Murong Qianyan worked so hard was to be able to walk to his side as soon as possible.

In fact, he really wanted to directly imprison Murong Tianyan by his side like this, so that the two of them would not have to be separated often.

However, he knew Murong Qianyan, so he couldn't do that. If he did that, he would lose the person he loved. Therefore, what he can do is to stay by her side, escort her, and let her continue to grow. Even if it hurts to see her hurt, I can only endure it.
