Chapter 012: The Yan Family's Situation
Yan Zhenyu said to Chu Tianshu seriously: "Tianshu, you said before that the person who assassinated you, you want to deal with him with your own hands. Since this is the case, the matter of cultivation can no longer be the same as before, and must be taken seriously. If you make good use of these two gifts, they will be of great help to your cultivation. In addition, I have also decided that I will set aside time every day in the future to personally guide you in your cultivation. ”
The three elders of the Yan family, who have cultivated to the fourth level of the Chong Qi Realm, have been taught by him personally, which is a great opportunity for most people. But Chu Tianshu was taken aback, and hurriedly refused: "Father-in-law, I will accept the gift, but I will personally guide the cultivation...... You are so busy, and my cultivation is so low, it is too much of a waste of your energy for you to guide me. Why don't you let others guide me when I lay the foundation in the early stage, and then you can guide me personally when my cultivation is high?"
When he received the gift just now, he casually flipped through the book of "Tianhe Yuan Gong" annotated by Yan Zhenyu himself, and found three or four loopholes in the exercises, as well as several mistakes in Yan Zhenyu's cultivation process. This kind of low-end exercise of a small family really can't get into Chu Tianshu's eyes.
Yan Zhenyu didn't know Chu Tianshu's true thoughts, and thought that he was being polite to him, and insisted: "You don't have to worry about my side, no matter how busy you are, I will definitely find time to guide you." As long as you can cultivate diligently, then everything will be worth it. ”
Although Yan Zhenyu was full of good intentions, Chu Tianshu really didn't dare to accept it. The cultivation experience of a martial artist in the Chong Technique Realm, in the eyes of him, a martial emperor, was like a babbling child. If he was really urged to practice this exercise every day, it would be a headache.
I had to insist on refusing: "Father-in-law, I understand your kindness." It's just that I do think it's not a good fit for you to teach me...... After all, your cultivation is so high, and my cultivation is so low, some things seem natural to you, easy to understand, but they are difficult and sluggish to me. The gap in the realm is large, and communication will inevitably bring distance. So I really think that in the early days, it would be better to find someone with a similar cultivation to me to teach me, and when my cultivation improves, I will replace you, how about it?"
Yan Zhenyu saw that Chu Tianshu was very persistent, and what he said didn't seem to be unreasonable, so he groaned a little: "Then who is more appropriate to guide you first?" Shuang Ling is busy cultivating to deal with the Spirit Cave Competition, and Shuang Fei is obsessed with refining medicine, I'm afraid she doesn't have enough time to ......"
Yan Yunxiao on the side couldn't help but speak: "Father, how about you let me guide my brother-in-law's cultivation first?"
Chu Tianshu secretly praised in his heart: "Brother-in-law, you finally have eyesight once, what I am waiting for is your words!"
Yan Yunxiao's character, Chu Tianshu likes it very much. When two people get together quickly, then there will be freedom and fun in cultivation!
But Yan Zhenyu refused: "Your own cultivation is so low, what can you use to guide your brother-in-law?"
Chu Tianshu hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, Yunxiao is the fourth layer of the Ning Yuan Realm, and I only have the first layer of the Ning Yuan Realm, and it should be more than enough for him to guide me." Besides, when the two of us are together, maybe we will push and inspire each other, but we will make great progress. ”
"Since you think it's appropriate, then...... So be it. As long as it is helpful to your cultivation, your father-in-law will support you strongly. After finishing speaking to Chu Tianshu with a pleasant face, his eyes turned to Yan Yunxiao, and he changed to a stern appearance: "Yunxiao, in the future, I will be with your brother-in-law, and take the cheats I personally annotated to take a good look! If you can't teach your brother-in-law well, and you won't make any progress yourself, be careful that I break your legs!"
Yan Yunxiao didn't dare to say anything, so he only agreed.
Chu Tianshu watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but feel a little pity for this brother-in-law in his heart.
Yan Zhenyu obviously loves this son deeply and is responsible. But blindly high pressure, blind scolding, and no warmth of fatherly love will definitely cause a shadow in Yan Yunxiao's heart.
Isn't the crux of the problem because Yan Yunxiao's cultivation qualifications are too poor and he can't become a talent, and he is ridiculed by others? In Chu Tianshu's eyes, this is not a problem at all. He has countless means to help him become famous and show his face, and he must make his father, his father-in-law, look up to him!
Since the time was indeed not early, Yan Zhenyu did not leave his daughter and son-in-law to talk more, but eagerly sent them out of the door, and asked them to hurry up to ask for tea for several other family elders.
The first thing to ask for peace is naturally Yan Donglai, the current head of the Yan family.
Yan Donglai is an old man in his sixties, although he is not young, he is in good spirits, and his eyes are bright. Chu Tianshu could see at a glance that his cultivation had reached the sixth layer of the Chong Aperture Realm, and six of the nine secret apertures around him had already been opened.
This kind of cultivation, although it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Chu Tianshu, is already a master in Tianfeng City.
Yan Donglai didn't say much, and after accepting Chu Tianshu's invitation to tea, he simply said a few words of blessing and encouragement. The gifts given to the two of them were also quite meager, even thinner than the gifts given by the direct disciples of the Yan family when they married their wives.
Of course, Chu Tianshu didn't care about this. What he had in his previous life, throwing out a random piece was enough to make the people of the entire Tianfeng City snatch their heads. If you are like Yan Zhenyu and treat each other sincerely, then Chu Tianshu will also be grateful for sending a feather. If he didn't have sincerity, it would not be uncommon for him to give the entire Yan family to him.
Out of the door of the head of the family, the next person to visit is Yan Zhentang, the great elder of the Yan family.
Yan Zhentang is a generation later than the head of the family, he is over forty years old this year, with a burly figure but a gloomy face. When Chu Tianshu and Yan Shuangling walked into his house, he was sitting in the middle of the hall, his face full of arrogance. His only son, Yan Qianlong, stood behind him with his hands on his back.
For them, Chu Tianshu still had some memories in his mind. Knowing that Yan Zhentang, as the great elder of the Yan family, has been at odds with Yan Zhenyu all year round, and there are many-for-tat confrontations. And his son Yan Qianlong is also the leader of the young people of the Yan family's generation, and now his cultivation has reached the ninth layer of the Ning Yuan Realm, second only to Yan Shuangling.
In fact, in the past few years, Yan Qianlong's cultivation has always been on a par with Yan Shuangling. And he has an advantage as a man, and he has always been cultivated by the Yan family as a seed player in this Lingdong Competition, and a lot of resources are tilted.
It's a pity that after entering the ninth layer, Yan Qianlong's cultivation progress has slowed down, and while enjoying a large amount of resources, he still can't enter the level of the Great Perfection of the Ning Yuan Realm. As a woman, Yan Shuangling, who could not enjoy the same treatment, was the first to make a breakthrough and became the first person in the young generation of the Yan family.
It is precisely the emergence of this situation that leads to the occurrence of the incident.
Although from the perspective of the second elder Ling Zhenxuan and the third elder Ling Zhenyu, they recruited their sons-in-law and left Yan Shuangling in the Yan family for the benefit of the family as a whole. But from the perspective of the Great Elder Yan Zhentang, Yan Zhenxuan and Yan Zhentang, who have always been at odds with him, completely used Yan Shuangling's chess piece to suppress his son's limelight, and then used this to compete for the inheritance of the next head of the Yan family.
The two forces, which were already-for-tat, are now even more compatible.
However, in the past, the struggle is a struggle, and in matters such as junior marriage, it is still necessary to take care of face. Although Yan Zhentang's expression has been gloomy, there are no fewer blessings and gifts that should be given. It's just that the gift is two or three points thinner than the one of the head of the family.
During the whole process of dealing, Yan Qianlong's expression was much softer than his father's, and his speech was more enthusiastic. But Chu Tianshu is good at observing people's skills, and he can see at a glance that Yan Qianlong's skin is not smiling, and he has no true affection at all. And from the physiognomy, this person's eyebrow bones are prominent, his eyes are sunken, his eyebrows are short and light, and his Yin Tang is narrow and cyan in the middle, which is a typical narrow-minded and insidious appearance. All this is done on the surface, all in disguise.
What made Chu Tianshu pay special attention was that Yan Qianlong paid special attention to him, the inverted son-in-law who should have no sense of existence, and tried to inquire about the process of being injured in the wedding several times intentionally or unintentionally.
Although he hid it well, it looked like he was caring about Chu Tianshu, but Chu Tianshu still accurately captured the doubts in his eyes that flickered from time to time.
What made him wonder was probably why he was still alive and kicking himself even though he was so powerful that it was fatal!
These details were enough for Chu Tianshu to list Yan Qianlong as one of the suspects. Although there is no clear evidence yet, as long as he dares to make another move, Chu Tianshu dares to guarantee that he will have nothing to hide!
