Chapter 3 Meeting
Just when Zhu Nanmu was teasing his sister-in-law and was almost beaten by fat, a group of fierce guards wearing heavy armor entered the gate of Zhu's mansion in a mighty manner, led by a woman with a graceful body.
Immediately, someone from the Zhu Mansion hurriedly ran forward and said respectfully, "Miss, you're back." ”
That's right, it was Zhu Qingyan who came back with someone to inspect. She was dressed in silver armor, with a slender figure and a heroic posture, because she wore a face-covering helmet, and only two eyes were exposed.
But the two eyes that were only exposed were as cold as the Qiushui sword.
Qing Yan asked, "Where is my father, I have something to report to him." ”
"The head of the house is in the study. The subordinate hurriedly responded.
"Got it. Qing Yan bowed slightly, and then commanded the guards behind her, "You have all worked hard, go back and rest." ”
"Yes, Miss. ”
The guards replied respectfully. It can be seen that these family guards have great respect for Qing Yan. This kind of respect is not because she is the eldest lady of the Zhu family, but from the heart.
After arranging these, Qing Yan went directly back to her residence. She first removed the silver armor on her body, and only the tight-fitting animal skin power suit was left on her body, revealing her bumpy and graceful devil figure, majestic mountain peaks, and round and straight buttocks almost tearing out.
She is a well-known martial arts genius in Tianhe County, and she has been practicing martial arts all year round, which makes her figure extremely hot. The height of 1.75 meters exceeds that of ordinary men, and a pair of slender snow-white legs are dazzling, full of absolute strength and beauty. The body is slender and toned, and the body is so curved that people can't look at it directly.
Stripped of the animal skin on her body, Qing Yan walked into the huge bathtub with snow-white legs, and her flawless hot and delicate body like jade slowly walked into the huge bath barrel.
Every time I return from a patrol, the most comfortable thing is to take a hot bath.
After bathing, she put on a warrior's power suit and went to see her father.
Wearing a tight-fitting suit, she added a bit of heroism, beautiful and cold.
In Zhu Changluo's study,
"Meet my father!" Qing Yan bowed slightly.
Although Zhu Changluo is the head of the Zhu family, he has always been simple and accustomed to it, so the furnishings in the study are also very simple. There are no expensive antiques and porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, etc., they are all classic books.
"Qing Yan is back?, everything is going well, right?" asked Zhu Changluo.
Qing Yan said: "Well, everything is fine, I didn't find anything abnormal." ”
Zhu Changluo bowed slightly: "That's good." ”
He looked at his eldest daughter, his eyes were full of love, and a trace of complicated guilt flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he sighed softly: "The child has suffered you, and you have sacrificed too much for the sake of the family......"
Qing Yan shook her head slightly, "No, father, this is my daughter's own choice. ”
Seeing a lingering trace of melancholy between Zhu Changluo's eyebrows. Qing Yanmei's eyes were cold, and she asked, "Has the situation worsened again?"
Zhu Changluo nodded slowly, "Yes, some people seem to be really impatient. ”
The Zhu family has risen rapidly in just over a decade and has become one of the three major families in Tianhe County, which is bound to cause the jealousy and hope of many forces. They were afraid that if the Zhu family continued to rise so rapidly, it would affect their interests sooner or later, but at the same time, they were greedy for the secret of the Zhu family's rise, especially the secret about the Zhu family's spiritual rice cultivation.
It is no exaggeration to say that since the day of the rise of the Zhu family, they have faced the eyes of all the forces around them. It is not an exaggeration to say that the rise of the Zhu family is from the midst of many sieges and oppressions, and it is not an exaggeration to fight a bloody way.
Almost every moment, there are people who want to swallow this new family with a lot of treasures but shallow roots.
Especially in the past year or two, there have been more and more forces interested in the Zhu family, and they have become stronger and stronger, and even some big names in the royal capital have been involved.
Although the Zhu family seems to be infinitely beautiful and prosperous on the surface, in fact, it is already facing the danger of being devoured and divided by wolves.
Qing Yan's eyes were resolute, and she said expressionlessly: "Father, don't worry, as long as there is a daughter, no one can move our Zhu family." ”
Her words are full of confidence and decisiveness, this is not her arrogance, Qing Yan does have this confidence and self-confidence.
The Tianwu Continent is a world where absolute strength is respected, as long as there is enough strength, all problems will no longer be a problem.
And Qing Yan is a strong man with strength, and he is also the one with great growth potential. She is twenty years old this year, and her martial arts cultivation has reached the late stage of the Innate Realm, and she is only one step away from breaking through to the Imperial Qi Realm. In Tianhe County, not to mention the younger generation, even if it is a strong person of the older generation, except for the patriarchs of the three major families, few of them can beat her.
Seeing his daughter's appearance, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but sigh silently again, he didn't even dare to look at his daughter.
"Father, daughter is really fine. Qing Yan said with relief, "Really, as long as it is for her father and Xiao Nan, my daughter doesn't feel bitter at all." ”
"Forget it, don't mention it. Zhu Changluo shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to shake away all the troubles in his heart; "By the way, seeing that I patronize and talk about these troubles, I have forgotten a serious happy event, Xiao Nan, he is fine." ”
"What do you mean, Xiao Nan, what's wrong with him?" Qing Yan's face changed, and a look of concern appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she hurriedly asked.
"Don't worry, he's okay now, listen to me tell me what happened. Zhu Changluo waved his hand and signaled his daughter not to be excited and anxious, "After you took people out of the city to inspect this morning, Xiao Nan suddenly fell unconscious, his breath collapsed little by little, and when he found a doctor, he couldn't find out what the reason was, only that he might have been hit by some kind of strange poison,,,
Hearing this, Qing Yan's eyes suddenly burst out with two cold glints, even though she knew that Zhu Nanmu was fine now, she still couldn't help but exude a killing intent from her body like a substance;
"It's not clear yet. Zhu Changluo shook his head, "There are many objects worth doubting, after all, there are no longer a few people who want to annex our Zhu family. ”
Qing Yan nodded expressionlessly and didn't say anything more, but the chill surging in those bright eyes did not subside at all.
Zhu Changluo glanced at his daughter, and then told Zhu Nanmu about a series of things such as Zhu Nanmu suddenly waking up on his own, and because of poisoning, he was blessed by accident and his brain returned to normal.
"Xiao Nan, is he really okay?" Qing Yan's delicate body trembled slightly, and even her voice trembled.
A scene appeared in front of her eyes, a bowl of thick mace, smashing at a little girl of five or six years old. Then a little boy who was half a head shorter than the little girl pounced on the little girl, blocking her under him, and then the mace in the hundreds of pounds directly smashed down,,,
Zhu Changluo nodded heavily; "Really,,,"
"I'm sorry father, I'm going to see Xiao Nan. ”
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Qing Yan, who had always been calm, couldn't wait to interrupt him, and then rushed out of the study in a hurry.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but smile, his face was full of relief.
After Zhu Nanmu took advantage of her sister-in-law, she was about to go crazy when she saw her, so she hurriedly ran away. This run, turning around, I don't know how far I ran, until I was sure that Zhu Lingyu's delicate woman would not chase after me, then I stopped panting heavily; "I'll go, it's so dangerous, if I go one step too late, I won't be killed by that cruel woman, this is still not good if I don't have the strength! Although with the title of a fool, you can let go of your hands and do nonsense, and you don't have to worry about being held responsible." But there is no guarantee that you will not be beaten, and you may even be beaten to death. ”
"No, you have to find a way to improve your strength, otherwise you will lose your life at the beginning of this great happy life, and it will be a big loss. Zhu Nanmu secretly decided in his heart, "Even if you can't fight, at least you have to be able to carry it, and ensuring that you won't be beaten to death is the most important thing." ”
"There are still people who secretly want the life of the original owner of this body, and they must have the ability to protect themselves. ”
At this moment, Zhu Nanmu deeply realized that if you want to live an ideal happy life in this world where the weak eat the strong and the strength is respected, without the corresponding strength to escort you, everything will be a pipe dream.
"Xiao Nan, why are you here alone?" Just as Zhu Nanmu was thinking about how to improve his self-protection ability, a girl's voice as crisp and soft as fairy music came into his ears.
Zhu Nanmu's body couldn't help but tremble, because this voice was too familiar to him, no, it should be said that the original Zhu Nanmu remembered this voice too deeply, so that his body subconsciously reacted.
Zhu Nanmu turned around slowly, looked for a sound, and what caught his eye was a woman with a graceful and tall figure and a peerless city.
Naturally, he couldn't wait to run out of Zhu Changluo's study and come to find Zhu Nanmu's Qingyan.
Seeing Qing Yan and integrating into the memories of the original owner, many pictures unconsciously appeared in my mind, like a marquee. Since Li Xuemei's death, Zhu Changluo has been busy with family affairs and has no time to separate, so it is Qingyan who takes care of Zhu Nanmu like a sister and a mother, and cares for his healthy growth.
Playing with him, bathing and dressing him, taking care of him day and night when he is sick,,, taking care of his eating, drinking, sleeping, everything.
Seeing the warm pictures, facing Qing Yan, Zhu Nanmu didn't know how to speak for a while. After all, he is no longer the stupid Zhu Nanmu he used to be, at least not his soul.
"I heard my father say, how are you doing, why are you still standing there stupidly, the eldest sister is back. Qing Yan said softly with a smile.
If outsiders see the gentle appearance of her big sister next door, they will definitely drop their jaws. Tianhe County, no one knows, Zhu Qingyan, the eldest lady of the Zhu family, is a well-known heroine among women, cold, resolute, vigorous and resolute, and a proper strong woman.
In front of outsiders, she will always be the strong and domineering queen fan, and only in front of his stupid brother, who is now his stupid husband, will she show her gentle side as a woman.
At the beginning, many people didn't understand why she, who was like Qingyan with such superior conditions and could even be said to be the proud daughter of the sky, would be willing to marry a fool like Zhu Nanmu.
In fact, Zhu Changluo had discussed with Qing Yan before proposing this marriage. No matter how much he wants to promote this marriage, he must listen to his daughter's opinion, after all, it is a lifelong event related to her happiness, if Qing Yan does not agree, he will not be reluctant.
However, what Zhu Changluo didn't expect was that as soon as he opened his mouth, before he could finish speaking, Qing Yan agreed.
Father's hard work Qingyan naturally knows that as the saying goes, when a man is married, a woman should be married, and Zhu Nanmu will definitely find someone to accompany him and take care of him in the future. But Zhu Nanmu is in that situation, and the other Zhu Changluo is really not at ease, afraid that Zhu Nanmu will be wronged, thinking about it, only Qing Yan, who has grown up with Zhu Nanmu since childhood, is the most suitable.
But the reason why Qing Yan agreed so readily was not entirely for Zhu Changluo's good intentions, she also had her own considerations. As a daughter's family, she will marry sooner or later. But the Zhu family is always facing prying eyes from all sides, and it can be said that they are embattled and in a worrying situation. As we all know, there are two pillars of the Zhu family, one is Zhu Changluo, the head of the Zhu family, and the other is Zhu Qingyan, the eldest lady of the Zhu family.
Once Qing Yan gets married, the Zhu family will lose a pillar, so for the sake of the Zhu family, Qing Yan has already decided that she will not marry, and she will dedicate her life to her family and relatives. At most, it's a recruitment. And recruiting people from the outside, I am afraid that it will lead wolves into the room, which is counterproductive.
It is also for this reason that when Zhu Changluo proposed that she should marry Zhu Nanmu, Qing Yan agreed without the slightest hesitation.
First, she didn't want to disobey her father.
Second, she thinks it's good, anyway, she has already decided that she won't get married, so it's better to accompany Xiao Nan. In this way, he not only stays in the family to escort the family, but also accompanies and takes care of Xiao Nan.
If she has any feelings for Zhu Nanmu, it must be unreliable, no, it is not accurate to say so, there must be feelings, and they are very deep. But it's not the kind of love between men and women, but the affection between sisters and brothers.
"Eldest sister, you're back. ”
After holding it for a long time, Zhu Nanmu held back such a clear nonsense, because his mood was really complicated at the moment, and he really didn't know what to say.
Qing Yan didn't care, pursed her red lips, and nodded with a smile; "Well, I'm back." ”
Then, the two fell into a wonderful atmosphere. Qing Yan looked at Zhu Nanmu with a shallow smile, and Zhu Nanmu scratched his head and smirked a little overwhelmed.
The two of them didn't speak again, and they maintained this state for a minute, and finally Zhu Nanmu was the first to speak; "Eldest sister, have you eaten?"
At this time, he really can't find any good topics, and can only say the most common polite words.
"Just came back, not yet. Qing Yan chuckled and shook her head.
"Then let's go back to dinner, and let Xiaoxiang instruct the kitchen to get you something delicious. Zhu Nanmu touched his chin and said with a smile.
Qing Yan smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”
This conversation seems very ordinary, not interesting, just like the gossip of ordinary people. But because of this, Qing Yan was very happy, and her mood that was originally annoyed by the troubles encountered by the family was also much lighter.
Xiao Nan, he's really good!
The two returned to the courtyard and instructed Xiaoxiang to make a sumptuous meal in the kitchen. Zhu Nanmu was still full because he had just finished eating a full table. So he didn't eat, but sat on the side and watched Qing Yan eat and talk to her.
Zhu Nanmu remembered that this was the way the two of them used to get along. Usually as soon as Qing Yan has time, she will chat and talk with your mentally retarded Zhu Nanmu before, of course, what she said must be some idiot stupid things that are very boring in the eyes of ordinary people.
But Qing Yan doesn't think so, in her heart, when chatting and talking with Zhu Nanmu is the happiest and most relaxing time for her. Because as soon as she is outside, she has to face the filthy world of deceit and deceit, and deal with all kinds of people.
may have fused the memories of the original Zhu Nanmu and inherited some of his emotions. Maybe it's something else, such as Qing Yan is too beautiful, her figure is super hot, and she is gentle with him, which is the perfect goddess model in Zhu Nanmu's heart,,,
Anyway, after seeing Qing Yan at the beginning, Zhu Nanmu quickly adapted to getting along with Qing Yan, and inexplicably had a very close feeling to her in his heart.
After eating, Xiaoxiang took away the dishes and chopsticks and sent refreshments.
"Eldest sister, I want to practice martial arts. Zhu Nanmu suddenly said to Qing Yan.
Martial arts is the mainstream cultivation system in this world, and since Zhu Nanmu wants to become stronger, the first thing he has to choose is naturally to cultivate martial arts.
A faint hint of gloom flashed in Qing Yan's beautiful eyes, and there was still a gentle smile on her face, "What's the matter, why do you suddenly want to cultivate martial arts?"
"No, it used to be because I had a problem with my brain, so forget it, now that it's good, of course I want to become stronger, become a strong person, and protect my sister and father-in-law. Zhu Nanmu said with emotion.
Of course he wouldn't say that it was to prevent being beaten up when he pretended to be stupid and took advantage of beautiful women in the future, so he had to practice martial arts to become stronger.
Hearing Zhu Nanmu's words, Qing Yan's beautiful face couldn't help but show a look of emotion and relief, Xiao Nan is really good, and she has grown up.
Immediately afterward, her brows furrowed slightly, and a look of helplessness and regret flashed in her beautiful eyes, "I'm sorry, Xiao Nan, you can't cultivate martial arts." ”
"Why?" Zhu Nanmu was stunned.
Qing Yan sighed and said, "Your body is different from ordinary people, there is no qi in your body. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Nanmu couldn't help but be dumbfounded. There was no qi in his body, and he couldn't have known what that meant.
Don't forget, the cultivation setting of this world was formulated by Zhu Nanmu, the creator himself. In his setting, the martial artist relies on the Qi Mansion to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and then cultivates martial arts.
If there is no qi in his body, it is equivalent to declaring that he has no chance with martial arts in this life.
"Xiao Nan, it doesn't matter, the eldest sister will protect herself. Qing Yan said softly, "The eldest sister will work hard together to become a real martial arts powerhouse." As long as the eldest sister is there, you will not be bullied and hurt in any way. ”
"Well, I know, thank you, big sister. Zhu Nanmu smiled brightly, showing that he didn't care.
At this point, it was already a fact that he didn't have Qi in his body, so what could he do? He didn't want Qing Yan to worry about himself.
Moreover, martial arts is only one way for him to choose to become stronger, but it is not the only way. Don't forget who he is, he's the maker of this world.
Seeing Zhu Nanmu like this, Qing Yan thought that he was forcing a smile in order not to worry about himself. was about to say something, but at this time, Xiao Xiang hurriedly ran in, "Miss, the head of the family sent someone to send a message to say that there is an urgent matter to discuss with you. ”
Qing Yandai frowned, and then turned her head to look at Zhu Nanmu, "Xiao Nan, don't be discouraged, maybe you can find some way to solve your problem." Don't think nonsense, my father has something urgent to find me now, and I'll talk to you when I get back. ”
Zhu Nanmu knew that Qing Yan had misunderstood herself, but she didn't explain much, and nodded lightly; "Okay, I know." ”
Qing Yan still glanced at Zhu Nanmu again with some unease, then stood up and walked out quickly.
Zhu Nanmu naturally knew that Qing Yan's words before leaving were to comfort him, and even he, the founder of the martial arts setting, didn't know how to solve the problem of no Qi Mansion, let alone Qing Yan.
But Zhu Nanmu didn't care much.
All roads lead to Rome, and if this road does not lead, change to another one.
When Zhu Nanmu designed the cultivation system of this world, he followed this principle.
Although the Tianwu Continent is prosperous with martial arts, the path of cultivation is not only a way of martial arts, alchemy, refining, physical cultivation, and soul cultivation,,, it can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming and a hundred schools of thought are contending.
However, Zhu Nanmu didn't want to choose these roads. These cultivation methods were all set by himself, and he naturally knew all about them. Either it's too hard, it's too slow, or it's too hard, it's too tiring,,,
He relives this life, and what he wants to live is the kind of rich idler life who stretches out his hands for food and opens his mouth. When you have nothing to do, pretend to be stupid and tease the beauty to rub the oil. When something happens, uh, continue to play stupid and hide far away.
He didn't want to spend so much time and suffer that sin to cultivate, and he was as tired as a dog every day. This kind of hard life, he has had enough in his previous life.
