"Zhao family, Zhao Jingrou! Meet the Daoists! Thank you for your life-saving grace to the younger generations in the family! ”

The old woman held the iron cane and bowed to Xu Mu, who returned the salute with a smile.

At the suggestion of the old woman, Zhao Yan stepped forward, put the rosewood box in her arms on the bluestone table in front of Xu Mu, and opened it carefully.

A burst of sweet fragrance emanated from the inside, and more than a dozen spirit fruits carved like topaz were quietly placed inside, exuding a faint spiritual essence, and they were not ordinary at first glance.

"There are nothing at home that can be handled, only these spirit fruits are still delicious, and I hope that fellow Daoists will not dislike them!" The old woman laughed.

"Daoyou is too polite, it's just a gesture! Ha ha! ”

Xu Mu smiled and stretched out his hand, and put the wooden box into the storage bag along with the spirit fruit, and his movements were extremely skillful.

“……”

Zhao Yan couldn't help but complain in her heart.

He said politely and picked up something, but he was not polite at all.

These fruits are called Huang Li Fruit, which are made of fourth-order spiritual roots, and can not only be eaten directly to improve cultivation, but also used to refine several precious pills, which are worth far more than a half-grade spirit stone that she promised Xu Mu.

These children of the Zhao family may not be able to get a piece in a few years, but now they directly gave Xu Mu a box, and Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

However, this is the decision of the ancestors, and no one in the family dares to disobey it.

After she handed over the medicinal materials yesterday and told Xu Mu's situation, the ancestor decided to visit in person, and specially prepared this generous gift.

Regarding Xu Mu's actions, Zhao Jingrou didn't seem to see it, her wrinkled face showed a smile, like a blooming chrysanthemum, she turned back to Zhao Yan and said, "Yan'er, you go down first, I'll talk to Daoyou about something." ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Yan respectfully withdrew.

After Zhao Yan left, Zhao Jingrou spoke again: "Forgive the old woman for being lonely and unheard, and I don't know the name of my friend, what kind of family and sect I came from?" ”

This is something that must be inquired about, Xu Mu had already expected it, he pondered for a moment, showed hesitation, and finally opened his mouth.

"It's a long story, I was an elder of the Immortal Moon Palace in the Middle Domain, and when I went out not long ago, I accidentally fell into a spatial crack, and I came here after waking up!"

The more lies are said, the more loopholes there are, Xu Mu feels that it is better to explain truthfully, and by the way, he will test the other party's reaction.

Although his origin is bizarre, it is not unacceptable, the Eastern Regions and the Central Regions are only relatively far apart, not unconnected, and he has not heard of any hostile relationship between the two regions.

Of course, the reason why he dared to confess boldly was because he was sure enough to deal with all variables, and he had already inquired that there was no one in the entire Chizhou Mansion who could threaten him.

Hearing Xu Mu's words, Zhao Jingrou's eyes lit up, and she suddenly said: "It turns out that Daoyou was born in the Central Domain, no wonder the accent is slightly different from ours here, originally I was a little strange!" ”

The smile on Zhao Jingrou's face was sincere, and Xu Mu also felt any malice, which showed that his identity was not a big deal except for making the other party a little surprised.

"I haven't paid attention to this, but the Taoist friend is careful." Xu Mudao.

"It's quite a long way from the Middle Domain, I don't know what Daoist friends plan to do next, whether to settle here, or find a way to return to the Middle Domain?" Zhao Jingrou asked.

Xu Mu felt that this was the reason why Zhao Jingrou was so enthusiastic and came to visit in person.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Mucai said in a consquiring tone: "I want to stay at this time for a while before making a decision, I don't know what you think?" ”

"The old woman has never been to the Central Domain, and she doesn't know what the situation is, so she doesn't dare to give advice to Daoyou, but if Daoyou stays here, the old woman has a reluctant request!"

"Fellow Daoist, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Zhao Jingrou is not Zhao Yan, she looks a lot older than him, so naturally she can't tease her like a child.

"The old woman wants to ask Daoyou to be the elder of my Zhao family!"

“……”

Zhao Jingrou's words really surprised Xu Mu.

He originally thought that the other party wanted to invite him to be a guest Elder Qing, but he didn't expect to be an Elder Taishang, which was tantamount to giving him the entire Zhao family.

In the past few days, he has also taken the time to inquire about the situation of the Zhao family, and knows that it is the foundation building family that has been inherited by Chizhou Mansion for hundreds of years, but the last two generations have been a little sluggish, and only Zhao Jingrou is left to support the foundation building period.

There are more than ten Zhuji families in Chizhou Mansion, although there is the Dayuan Dynasty that controls everything, but the Zhuji family below is not honest, and it is inevitable that they will fight openly and secretly with each other, and the Zhao family is weak, and now they suddenly meet their own loose cultivators, and it is not surprising that they want to recruit them.

When Zhao Jingrou first came, he had already guessed.

But he never expected that the other party would directly ask him to be an elder of the Taishang.

Xu Mu's eyes flickered and he didn't answer.

In his opinion, Zhao Jingrou's purpose in saying this has two possibilities, one is to test him if he has ambitions for the Zhao family, so he deliberately approached Zhao Yan.

Another possibility is that the Zhao family has reached the end of their rope and began to rush to the doctor.

Seeing that Xu Mu was silent, Zhao Jingrou showed a wry smile and said, "I know that Daoist friends don't believe it, to be honest, it's hard for anyone to believe this kind of thing!" ”

Zhao Jingrou stretched out her withered arm and continued: "Daoist friends check my physical condition and know why I said that!" ”

Xu Mu stretched out his hand in disbelief, and the spiritual power entered Zhao Jingrou's body, and he immediately understood what was going on, and his face showed a sudden look.

"The old woman is coming, as short as a few months, as long as a year, it will inevitably sit down! Originally, there were a few ways out for future generations, but compared to Daoyou, it was much worse! Zhao Jingrou said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, is it too hasty!" Xu Mu smiled bitterly.

The two met for the first time, and they gave him the family directly, which is somewhat exaggerated, even if they are sick and rush to the doctor, it is not this method.

"Daoyou can easily kill the Divine Gu Valley Lord, the strength is far better than the old woman, if you really want to replace the Zhao family, what's the point if I don't say it, anyway, after the death of the old woman, the Zhao family will either be destroyed by the rival family, or fall apart, it is better to give it to the Daoyou! And Daoyou and I are all the way, but I am worried that Daoyou will agree! Zhao Jingrou said worriedly.

"What wayman?"

Xu Mu didn't react a little.

"Daoyou's age is not too young, instead of taking the risk of returning to the Central Domain, it is better to enjoy yourself for a few years, Zhao Women's resources, Daoyou can enjoy them at will!"

“……”

!

Xu Mu scolded in his heart, and finally knew why this old woman was so bold and generous.

The twilight on his body is indeed easy to misunderstand, just looking at his appearance, he is not much younger than Zhao Jingrou.

An old guy who is dying, what can he do if he gives you the family? It's just a little bit of residual heat at the end!

As for family resources, at this age, they are already dispensable.

Not to mention women, it is estimated that they can only cry silently.

What a calculation!

Xu Mu couldn't cry or laugh.

But after thinking about it, this may not be a good thing for him, just using the Zhao family as a springboard to lay the foundation for the arrival of the Xu family.

Zhao Jingrou is a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!

"I can promise my fellow Daoists, but there's one request?"

"Daoyou, but it doesn't hurt to say, even if it's ten, I agree!" Zhao Jingrou said a little excitedly.

Her plan is not clever, as long as Xu Mu is not stupid, it is not difficult to see it, she is also worried that Xu Mu will not agree, now that she agrees, as long as the request is not excessive, she is willing, even if she is an old woman.

"I want Zhao Yan to marry me!"
