Chapter XVII

The maid who had gone to inquire about the news returned soon after.

The little girl is not only smart, but also has plenty of gossip sources in the house, so naturally Zhang Yiyi was not disappointed.

"Fifth Miss, the slave maid heard that this family affair was originally booked when the third lady was born, and the other party is the Tang family, the largest family in Tangyang, and its power far exceeds that of our Zhang family. ”

It turned out that the mother of the third lady had saved the life of the young master of the Tang family, and the head of the Tang family made a family affair to let his second son marry the daughter of the benefactor in the future.

After all, the Tang family is a medium-sized family with Yuanying in charge, and the Zhang family's cultivation is the highest ancestor but in the late stage of Jindan.

But more than ten years later, the second son of the Tang family became a waste of cultivation due to an accident.

Zhang Tongtong, the third lady of the Zhang family, was the opposite, not only did she have such excellent qualifications as the mutant ice spirit root, but she also became the most respected disciple of the Yunxian Sect of the Great Sect.

In this way, the Zhang family is unwilling to marry the genius of their family to a waste, but they don't want to lose such a good in-law as the Tang family.

Therefore, in the end, I don't know who proposed to marry her to the Tang family instead of Zhang Tongtong.

It's really not good to be used as a chess piece, after all, it's because your own power is too bad that you will be sacrificed and abandoned at will.

The power of the Xiuzhen world is respected, and the family will always only put interests first. Family affection is already cold, not to mention that she doesn't like her mother and father.

Zhang Yiyi became more and more determined to practice hard, in order to live, to be free, and to be able to see new scenery one after another as he wanted.

Half an hour later, she was taken to her grandfather Zhang Qingming by the messenger.

Zhang Qingming is the current head of the Zhang family and the grandfather of Zhang Yiyi's relatives.

It's just that this grandfather dislikes her daughter more than her father, and the grandfather and grandson have not met twice in total, and the only two meetings that make the impression are also indifferent and disgusted unabashedly.

Zhang Yiyi estimated that the person who asked her to inherit the marriage with the Tang family instead of Zhang Tongtong was Zhang Qingming, after all, the ancestor of the Zhang family didn't have so much spare time to personally ask about the affairs of juniors like her.

Sure enough, after seeing her, Zhang Qingming's attitude was extremely indifferent and disgusting.

"Hmph! I'm not old, but my tone is not small. However, if you are an eighth-level Qi cultivator, you can really think that you have become the pride of the Son of Heaven, and you can act recklessly?"

Zhang Qingming's eyes were full of contempt, as if the person in front of him was not the granddaughter of his blood relatives, but the descendants of the enemy.

"Joke! Even if there is really a great power willing to accept you as an apprentice in the future, it will be a matter of the future, but now you are only a small outer disciple of the Yunxian Sect, and your family still has the right to dispose of it! The family has cultivated you for so many years, and if you marry, you will have to marry, and there is no room for bargaining!"

As soon as these words came out, don't say Zhang Yiyi, it was Zhang Chengkang on the side, and his face was extremely difficult to see in an instant.

"Father, with Yiyi's current potential, how can you marry someone so early? If you want to marry the Tang family, there are many candidates in the clan, and your son has told you so much, why can't you be accommodating?"

Zhang Chengkang never thought that he had just said so much, but his father not only didn't listen to a word, but said his daughter so badly in front of him.

Even if he doesn't have much affection for this concubine, after all, he is his only concubine, and even his father can't give him face like this.

"Shut up!" Zhang Qingming asked his second son: "What kind of family do you think the Tang family is, do you have any brains?"

He slapped his palm on several cases and reprimanded his son together.

"You don't know who this family affair was originally ordered for? The Tang family allowed the Zhang family to change the candidate once, that is because Tong Tong is already a disciple of the Yunxian Sect, and his identity is not at all that an ordinary second son of the Tang family can climb high, even if the Tang family bites to death, the Yunxian Sect will definitely not let this kind of thing happen! But this does not mean that after they give up Tongtong, our Zhang family can just take a daughter and send them away!"

In a word, he didn't care about telling the truth about the substitution marriage, and Zhang Qingming never felt that there was anything wrong or a pity about letting Zhang Yiyi marry the Tang family instead of Zhang Tongtong.

Even if the cultivation speed of the Qi Cultivation Layer seems to be okay now, the more difficult it is to improve the later realms, and the difference in the spiritual root qualifications will become more and more obvious.

As for the fact that Da Neng wanted to accept him as an apprentice, Zhang Qingming didn't believe it at all, and it was clear that Zhang Yiyi was unwilling to obey the family arrangement, and it was ridiculous that the second son still believed it.

"But it doesn't have to be me, does it?"

Seeing that his father was reprimanded and scolded by his grandfather and almost couldn't open his mouth, Zhang Yiyi took over the words and said calmly: "Grandfather dares to swear, do you really think that asking me to replace Cousin Tong to marry into the Tang family is the best choice for the Zhang family?"

"Presumptuous, I'm your grandfather, how dare you talk to me like this?"

Zhang Qingming was so angry that his beard was crooked.

After living for almost 300 years, it was the first time that he was questioned by a junior in person, and even wanted him to swear, what a big face, how could it be reasonable!

"My granddaughter is just telling the truth, why can't she just say what she thinks in her heart?"

Zhang Yiyi didn't frown, but became more and more calm like water, but the gaze that looked at Zhang Qingming was sharp and went straight to the soul: "The people of my generation who cultivate the truth pay attention to sticking to their hearts, and my granddaughter just wants to ask for an answer for herself with a clear conscience." And you are not only my grandfather, but also the head of the Zhang family, and you should convince people with reason in your words and deeds, rather than forcing persecution with the respect of the elderly. ”

"A good one sticks to his heart, one has a clear conscience, a good one convinces people with reason, and a good one persecuts! I, Zhang Qingming, really gave birth to a good granddaughter, and I dare to teach me, an elder who is a grandfather, how to behave in person!"

Zhang Qingming's eyes were frighteningly red, and he raised his hand to teach the granddaughter in front of him who didn't know the height of the sky: "Today, I will teach you what it means to be respectful and humble, and what it means to speak with strength!"

Seeing that his father wanted to do something to his daughter-in-law, Zhang Chengkang was shocked and ready to stop it, but he dispelled this idea in an instant.

The daughter-in-law's temperament is too hard, and even the grandfather of the in-laws dares to disobey at will, which is really arrogant.

Maybe it's a good thing to learn some lessons today, after all, the marriage with the Tang family has to continue, and presumably my father won't really kill him.

After such a moment's hesitation, Zhang Qingming used forty percent of his palm wind to wave towards Zhang Yiyi.

With his cultivation in the early stage of Jindan, even if he only had forty percent of his strength, it was enough to make Zhang Yiyi, who was at the eighth level of Qi cultivation, seriously injured and painful on the spot.

He really didn't intend to take Zhang Yiyi's life, but he was determined to teach him a hard lesson so that he was afraid enough for a lifetime to dare not bow his head and submit to it.
