Chapter Twenty-Six: Picking in the Medicine Garden
Jiang Baiyu showed a sneer on his face, and quickly returned to Jiang Mansion, and when he passed by the old man with sugar gourd at the door of his house, he said quietly: "There are some nasty ghosts in the back, drive people away." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Shen nodded with a sneer, and when he left, he took out an invitation from his arms, which was prominently marked with the word "Demon Refining", and the invitation itself was made of uncommon demon beast fur, and this invitation was the invitation picked by the Medicine Garden of the Demon Refiner Union.
Jiang Baiyu looked at Jiang Ash's back with a little deep meaning, the picking qualifications of the medicine garden were decided by the Demon Refiner Guild, and they would be given to whoever they said, and it was generally given to the local family, and it was rarely given to a certain person. Jiang Shen was able to get one as an individual, and it was likely that he knew people within the Demon Alchemist Guild, and the status of the people he met was not low. Retracting his thoughts, Jiang Baiyu didn't bother to ask Jiang Ash, with his cultivation, it was normal to know some demon refiners.
After a while, in some hidden places in Liutai City, there were brief sounds of panic from time to time, and then, everything returned to calm. Those who paid attention to Jiang Baiyu were all pale, obviously frightened.
"The Jiang family's protection of this son is really tight, and they even sent an unfathomable fetal breath master to secretly protect it!"
There was an encounter where the secretly coveted had to be unwilling to retreat.
When he returned home, Jiang Baiyu closed the door and meditated to recover the lost Xuan Qi.
Just when he was meditating, Jiang Baiyu made a splash at the Li family's treasure appraisal competition, showing his might, and even made Li Laozu turn around and make friends, as if he had grown wings, and flew back to the Jiang family, causing an earthquake-like shock!
For this reason, a family meeting was held just the day before yesterday, and today, it was specially convened for Jiang Baiyu's temporary emergency!
Jiang Xiaotian sat on the patriarch's seat, and he was still in a huge surprise at the moment, as if he was in a dream, his son's insight in treasure appreciation actually led the ancestor of the Li family to marry on the spot, so as to pull Jiang Baiyu into the camp of the Li family?
The two elders also couldn't believe the report, could it be that Li Laozu was confused? How could he do such a ridiculous thing? But after listening to Jiang Qiuyun's detailed report, the two of them gasped, Jiang Baiyu, where did you get such a wide range of knowledge? The juniors present at the meeting were also trembling with excitement, our young master was famous all over the city, and even the ancestor of the Li family was treated as an equal, what an honor was this? Some girls were even more excited to chirp.
"Where's White Feather?. The second elder said excitedly.
"He's in retreat, I'm going to call him right away?" said one of the clansmen excitedly.
The second elder hurriedly waved his hand and smiled from ear to ear: "No, no, don't disturb this child's cultivation, he is the treasure of my Jiang family, don't disturb, Bai Yu, this child, you have to cultivate it well, I suggest, the masters of the faction clan secretly protect, God knows what kind of crooked ideas some forces will fight." ”
The faces of the people of the clan changed slightly, you must know that the second elder has always been close to the great elder, and now, he actually defended Jiang Baiyu, it can be seen that the change of Jiang Baiyu has changed the position of the second elder, who can not be moved to such a demon-level genius in the clan?
The Great Elder's face was gloomy and he couldn't speak, Jiang Baiyu was getting better and better, and he repeatedly provoked the nerves of their older generation, making the Great Elder's heart feel like a thorn, and he felt uncomfortable.
When the hall was filled with festivities, a well-informed junior rolled his eyes and stood up and said, "By the way, Ancestor Li said that he will attend the wedding of the young master of Bai Yu and cousin Qiu Yun at that time." ”
The people of the Jiang family all had strange faces, their eyes were beating back and forth on Jiang Qiuyun and Jiang Lin, Jiang Qiuyun was Jiang Lin's fiancée, how could Li Laozu mistake her for Jiang Baiyu's fiancée? Jiang Lin ...... Is this being cuckolded?
Jiang Qiuyun glared at the talkative person, and was so ashamed that a red glow flew out of her cheeks, and she buried her head in pretending to read a book, but the crystal-like little hand holding the book was nervously pulled into a small ball, showing nervousness, and her white cheeks were even hotter, making her eager to find a crack in the ground to get into. But she couldn't help but compare Jiang Lin and Jiang Baiyu in her mind, and it seemed that from the perspective of character, Jiang Baiyu was better...... Ahh
The tea cup in the hand of the Great Elder was pinched and shattered with a bang, his lips trembled, showing the anger in his heart, Jiang Lin was even more red-eyed, glaring at Jiang Qiuyun complainingly, if it weren't for your mouthy and concern about Jiang Baiyu's marriage, would Old Ancestor Li misunderstand?
Jiang Xiaotian said darkly, Li Laozu, this old guy, has good eyesight, what is not better than Jiang Lin?
"Now, let's talk about the marriage between the Li family and the Jiang family. The Great Elder diverted the topic: "I agree more, the marriage of the two clans can strengthen the ties between the two clans and consolidate the power of the two clans in Liutai City, besides, Li Jingyi's daughter is a woman of the Li family's appearance and talent, and it is not an insult to our young master of the Jiang family." "As long as Jiang Baiyu has a marriage contract, he can't beat Jiang Qiuyun's attention, right?
The second elder also nodded, thinking that the marriage between the two clans was more feasible and beneficial to the two families, and the old-fashioned point was squeezed with a look of relief: "Well, Li Jingyi's daughter is okay." ”
In the end, only the patriarch was left to make the final decision.
Jiang Xiaotian slowly closed his eyes, as if he was struggling with something, and said regretfully: "I, I can't agree!"
The two elders asked in unison, this is a good thing for the family, why is it opposed? Jiang Qiuyun also raised her head, there was a trace of curiosity in her eyes, the patriarch should think about the interests of the family, why would Lu refuse to marry? I don't know why, Jiang Qiuyun had a hint of secret joy, if Jiang Baiyu really had a marriage contract with another girl, she would feel uncomfortable, just like when Li Laozu proposed marriage, she was nervous for no reason, and couldn't help but stand up and oppose it.
Jiang Xiaotian sighed heavily, and said a sentence that the audience was silent: "Bai Yu, there is a marriage contract!"
What? The two elders were stunned on the spot as if they had been struck by lightning, Jiang Baiyu had a marriage contract?
In Jiang Qiuyun's beautiful eyes, her pupils shrank, and the book in her hand fell to the ground with a "snap", and there was an uncomfortable feeling in her heart, Jiang Baiyu, do you have a fiancée?
Jiang Xiaotian didn't want to say much, and said briefly: "Bai Yu's fiancée...... If nothing else, three years later, that is, at the age of eighteen, he married the other party. ”
There was silence in the clan, except for a few young girls who sighed deeply......
When Jiang Baiyu got the news from the retreat, he was also shocked, I have a fiancée, and I am married? This is a scene that has not been seen in a previous life, so that Jiang Baiyu did not dare to believe it for a long time, and it took a long time to confirm this fact.
Thinking about the previous life, he didn't sober up until the family perished, and in the middle three years, there were indeed a lot of things that he didn't know, and his father didn't have time to tell him that he had a fiancée, which was not necessarily fake, but his father couldn't help but hide it too deeply and for too long, and it was not that Li Laozu wanted to marry this time, out of helplessness, I am afraid that my father would still not confide in half a point.
But, who is the fiancée? What does the father want to hide? Jiang Baiyu asked his father at night with doubts, and the answer was his father's unfathomable smile: "You will naturally know in the future, in short, that girl's identity, status and appearance will not wronged you!"
This made Jiang Baiyu quite depressed, inexplicably there was an extra fiancée who was married on his fingertips, and his father deliberately concealed it and refused to tell the truth, did he really have to wait for three years to get married by order? Jiang Baiyu was very dissatisfied with this fingertip marriage, and he didn't even know what the other party's character was, how could he marry the other party casually?
It's just that he doesn't have time to think about it, and his task now is to step up his cultivation and seize the name of the family big competition in half a year. On the second day, Jiang Baiyu came to the Demon Alchemist Union, today is the day when the Demon Alchemist Guild is open to the public every three months, on this day, the family with the qualification to pick medicinal materials can send representatives to enter the medicine garden to pick medicinal materials.
The Demon Alchemist Guild is located in the center of the city, in the heart of the city, showing its lofty status. The main body of the Demon Alchemist Guild is a towering palace, and on the forehead of the gate, there is a huge plaque ten meters long, which is vigorously engraved with the four characters "Demon Alchemy Union", and the font is golden and very dazzling.
From time to time, from time to time, some young men and women who looked plain but were actually very arrogant in their bones came out, they wore plain robes and embroidered the fiery red word "Shi" on their chests, which was the sign of apprenticeship. Apprentices are not actually considered demon alchemists, they can only be barely regarded as assistants of demon alchemists, they usually have solid theoretical knowledge, help demon alchemists deal with sundries, and in the demon refining union, their status is very low, not much different from hard labor.
However, Jiang Baiyu noticed that when they met the apprentices who came out of the Demon Alchemy Union, their demeanor was extremely respectful, and they often nodded slightly, throwing a warm smile, expressing a high level of respect in their hearts, and these apprentices were actually the lowest existence in the Demon Alchemy Union, and they came and went when they were called by the demon refiners, but in front of these low-level Xuanshi, they just nodded their chins proudly, or did not squint, Rao was so rude, those Xuanshi did not dare to be angry, and accompanied the demon refining apprentices away with a smile, which shows how respected the demon refiners are。
It is said that in the city, if a child of any family is selected as the assistant of the demon refiner, this family will often get the envy of the surrounding neighbors, and the host will definitely put on a feast, beat gongs and drums to publicize it, and from then on, one person will ascend to heaven and be impressed by everyone.
Recalling these, Jiang Baiyu sighed and sighed: "The status of the demon refiner is a bit too noble. ”
Think about the scarcity of demon refiners, and the fact that they are the only group that can refine pills, almost all the cultivators of Xuan Shi are inseparable from pills, and they all have to ask for demon refiners, so I am relieved when I think about it, in the general environment, it is destined that demon refiners are different and transcendent and noble.
At this time, at the door of the demon refiner, a small door was opened, and from time to time someone respectfully showed a black post and handed it to the doorman, and then was allowed to enter, judging from the dress, these people are all children of the family, and most of them are merchant families who deal in medicinal materials, because the Jiang family only operates the market, but asks about specific commodities, so the Jiang family rarely participates in the picking of medicinal materials.
What surprised Jiang Baiyu was that this time the Li family also sent someone to pick medicinal materials, the surprise was not that the Li family would come, the other party was an auction house, and it was normal to reserve medicinal materials, what he was surprised by was that the person who came was not someone else, but Li Xiang'an! For this person, Jiang Baiyu had a slight impression, it seemed that he was a very proud member of the Li family, he liked to mock the weak, and he spared no effort to stammer and curry favor with a strong man like Jiang Lin, he was a fierce and introverted guy, this kind of person, Jiang Baiyu has always been disdainful.
When Jiang Baiyu noticed him, Li Xiang'an, who got off the carriage, also discovered Jiang Baiyu's existence, seeing Jiang Baiyu here, Li Xiang'an's pupils shrank, and a touch of evil appeared on his forehead, the events of yesterday's family treasure appraisal meeting were vivid, and a touch of killing intent from the heart was permeating, and at the same time there was deep disdain, in his opinion, Jiang Baiyu was still a waste man without mystery, in front of him, a noble mystery, bullshit was not.
