There are three major families in Taiping Dao, namely the Li family, the Lu family, and the Shen family, with the Li family as the main family, and the other two become vassals of the Li family. Zhengyi is also generally like this, with the Zhang family as the mainstay, the Su family and the Yan family as vassals, and the three families often marry, so in the eyes of many people, it is reasonable for Zhang Yuelu to marry Yan Mingchen, and now the head of the Yan family is from the Zhang family, how can it not let Zhang Yuelu suffer and be angry, and even with Zhang Yuelu's strength, it is not inconceivable that her husband will be in charge of the Yan family as the main mother in the future.

In all fairness, this is an excellent marriage, many women from the Zhang family from a small sect are asking for it, generally only the women of the Zhang family have such treatment, Zhang Yuelu was born in a small sect, because of his talent, coupled with Yan Mingchen's initiative to ask, he can easily defeat other opponents. As for whether the two like it or not, it's all trivial, in a big family, the husband and wife are actually solid allies, not lovers, as long as they don't respect each other like soldiers, respect each other like guests, respect each other like ice, it's okay.

It's just that no one thought that Zhang Yuelu would take the initiative to reject this marriage that most people seem to be very compatible, and the reason given at the beginning was even more ridiculous, because Yan Mingchen was too old.

Today's world, just like the poems of the ancients: I am eighty years old and eighteen, and I am red and I have white hair. It is the same as the Qing upside down, only separated by a sixtieth in the middle. Eighteen brides and eighty langs, with pale hair and red makeup. The mandarin ducks are made into a double night, and a pear flower presses the begonia.

It is not uncommon for old husbands and young wives to be young, not to mention that Yan Mingchen is just thirty years old, only less than ten years older than Zhang Yuelu, and not dozens of years old, it is indeed not too big a gap.

So anyone thinks it's just an excuse, and as for the real idea, few people know. The only thing that doesn't feel strange is about Zhang Yuyue, in her opinion, Zhang Yuelu has had strange ideas since she was a child, others think it's good, and she probably thinks it's bad, which is reasonable.

It's just that including Tangtai Qiong, I don't dare to persecute Zhang Yuelu too much, after all, Zhang Yuelu still has a way out, that is, to go to the Quanzhen Dao to become a monk, the so-called monks, regardless of the monk's way, are all meant to cut off the fate of the earth, including blood relatives, as long as they have never returned to the world, they cannot use secular rules such as patriarchy to restrain her.

More importantly, the Earth Master and the Quanzhen Dao have enough strength to ensure the implementation of this rule, and now that they are quasi-allies who are on good terms with the Quanzhen Dao, it is unlikely that the Heavenly Master will come forward for this kind of thing.

In fact, some people speculated that Zhang Yuelu was too high-minded and did not take a fancy to Yan Mingchen, saying that Yan Mingchen was always saving face for Yan Mingchen. This is also reasonable, in terms of Yan Mingchen's age, the fourth-grade wine Taoist is indeed a little low, if he is only promoted to the third-grade Youyi Taoist at the age of thirty-five, then it means that he can only be promoted to the second-grade Taiyi Taoist after the age of forty, or even when he is nearly fifty, then this life is likely to stop here.

After all, the appointment and promotion of the Daomen has almost rigid requirements for age. Even with the help of the family, at most, he became one of the thirty-six real people in the year of Jiazi, and he was still ranked low, and there was a significant gap with the top few real people.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuelu, in her early twenties, is a fourth-grade sacrificial wine Taoist, judging from her momentum, as long as there are no accidents, it is already a sure thing to become a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest before the age of thirty, and in terms of her age, it is almost equivalent to a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest has been in the bag, and it is not difficult to become a real person after a few decades.

What people are really looking forward to is, how far can Zhang Yuelu go? Is it to stop the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest and hurt Zhongyong? Or is it that after becoming a real person in the world, he has been making great progress, inheriting the mantle of Cihang Zhenren and becoming the top of the 36 people in the world? Or is it a little more daring, the Pingzhang Great True Person, the Deputy Leader Sect Great True Person, or even the Supreme Great Palm Sect Honor?

Yan Mingchen didn't understand this truth, if Zhang Yuelu had high vision and looked down on him, then it would be fine. It's not that he doesn't know how many pounds and taels he has, and he won't do anything, at most, many years later, he will remember one or two.

But no one would have thought that Zhang Yuelu had just found a good-for-nothing person, in terms of realm cultivation, Taoist grade, position, and family background, everything was inferior to him, and the only advantage was that he was young.

And from the perspective of the Taoist system, Qi Xuansu, who is only a seven-grade Taoist, is not young, even if he is promoted to a six-grade Taoist priest immediately after the New Year, a six-grade Taoist priest will be promoted to a five-grade Taoist priest for one year, a five-grade Taoist priest for two years, and a fourth-grade Taoist priest for three years, so he will be promoted to a six-grade Taoist priest at the age of twenty-five, and a fifth-grade Taoist priest at the age of twenty-six, and the best situation is that he can only be promoted to a fourth-grade wine Taoist priest at the age of twenty-eight. However, it is a recognized threshold for a fifth-grade Taoist to be promoted to a fourth-grade sacrificial wine Taoist, and few people can rise within two years, most of them will stop for a few years, and many people will simply stop here, and they will not be able to step through the threshold of high-grade Taoist priests in their lives.

Therefore, Yan Mingchen only felt unconvinced, and he had to take a look at it in person before he would give up.

At first glance, he just thinks that's it.

The injustice in my heart is even worse.

Zhang Yuelu naturally saw Yan Mingchen's resentment and depression, and said: "When I was in the upper palace of the Vientiane Dao Palace, I told you that it is okay to be friends, I will call you a brother, and forget the rest." If you don't take my words seriously, you don't even have to be a friend. ”

Yan Mingchen closed his eyes and said in a trembling tone: "Even if you hate me, I don't blame you, it's just that you ...... Why do you bother to practice yourself? ”

"Practice?" Zhang Yuelu raised her eyebrows slightly.

Yan Mingchen said: "You know, if you can marry someone better than me, I won't say anything, I will only bless you, but I don't want you to treat yourself like this." ”

Zhang Yuelu accentuated his tone: "What do I do to myself?" ”

Yan Mingchen opened his eyes suddenly, and his gaze shot towards Qi Xuansu like a sword: "He is not worthy of you." ”

"Worthy or unworthy, what you say doesn't count, what I say counts." Zhang Yuelu no longer hid the chill in his tone.

Qi Xuansu never spoke, just looked Yan Mingchen up and down, cautious, as if a hunter was assessing the danger of his prey.

Yan Mingchen sighed: "Why bother with duplicity? ”

Zhang Yuelu did not hide her anger, as Zhang Yuelu's anger surged, the qi around her body surged, and the flying snow in the sky was like a moth to a fire, melting all three feet away from her.

Yan Mingchen turned his gaze back to Zhang Yuelu: "Shen Ning Dantian, resting baby, body is like a void and surpasses the five mountains, and the qi is like a sky and shakes Beichen." You are only a few steps away from the celestials, and there is no threshold to speak of, but the time has not yet arrived, and it will take time, and I am not your opponent. ”

Zhang Yuelu narrowed her eyes and did not answer.

Yan Mingchen turned his gaze to Qi Xuansu again, and said unceremoniously: "But he is not my opponent. ”

"Not necessarily." Qi Xuansu, who had never spoken, finally spoke.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Qi Xuansu said softly: "Qingxiao, people are coming at me, if I blindly hide behind you, like what, just during this period of time, I have already refined all the medicinal power, and my cultivation has gained more, just to accompany this Master Yan to practice his hands." ”

Zhang Yuelu hesitated, but still chose to believe Qi Xuansu, and just said, "Then you be careful." ”

Qi Xuansu took a step forward and said to Yan Mingchen: "Master Yan is here, he must have seen and taught. ”

Yan Mingchen saw that the two of them were talking softly, so he was angry, and at this time he suppressed his anger and said slowly: "I am older than you, and my realm is higher than you. ”

Qi Xuansu moved his fully recovered arm, and the blood qi and true qi in his body flowed at the same time, and said, "As long as Master Yan has never been among the heavens, I have the strength to fight." ”

When Yan Mingchen saw Qi Xuansu say this, he didn't say anything more, and he also ran his true qi, but he didn't make a move first, but signaled for Qi Xuansu to make a move.

After all, as he himself said, he was already older than Qi Xuansu, and his realm cultivation was also a head higher, if he still made the first move, it would be completely shameless, especially with Zhang Yuelu beside him, he didn't want to do this.

As soon as Qi Xuansu raised his hand, a cold light flashed and shot towards Yan Mingchen's left eye.

It's a throwing knife.

Yan Mingchen stretched out a finger and let the flying knife hit his fingertips, his fingers did not hurt a single bit, and the flying knife shattered inch by inch.
