Chapter 16 Family Affairs
Hearing his daughter's words, Zhang Chengkang quickly calmed down.
As his only daughter-in-law, Zhang Chengkang's feelings for her are quite complicated.
In addition, Zhang Yiyi has not been close to him since he was a child, and when he met again four years later, the father and daughter were so alienated that they seemed to be strangers.
"It's nothing to do with your mother, she's not coming back, and you don't have to remember her anymore. ”
Zhang Chengkang put away the few traces of kindness, and his tone became cold.
Ten years ago, when his daughter-in-law asked him about his wife's whereabouts, he lost his temper and forbade her to mention it again.
It was also after that that that the already small relationship between their father and daughter almost fell to the bottom, and they couldn't see each other all year round.
And now, the concubine has grown up, and her appearance and heart are becoming more and more like her mother, and Zhang Chengkang's mood has become more and more complicated.
Zhang Yiyi didn't expect such an answer, and knew immediately that things might not be very good.
She didn't care about Zhang Chengkang's indifference to her, whether it was the father in the original owner's impression or as herself, Zhang Chengkang was almost no different from a stranger except for his father's name.
If it weren't for the fact that her three spirit roots were still valuable for an ordinary small family, her so-called concubine's life in the family might not even be as good as a distant relative or even a descendant.
"Since it has nothing to do with my mother, why did my father ask people to call me back under the guise of my mother?"
Zhang Yiyi's expression was the same as before, and her attitude was cold: "I'm afraid it's not a good thing for me, right? Otherwise, you won't use the person you least want to mention as an excuse, for fear that I won't return." ”
"Presumptuous!"
was ruthlessly told by his concubine, Zhang Chengkang's face darkened, and he was suddenly a little annoyed and angry: "What are you talking about, as a member of the Zhang family, can't your father ask you to come back?"
"Father doesn't have to be angry. ”
Zhang Yiyi naturally couldn't be intimidated by the so-called patriarchal father, and still didn't change her face: "It's best to have nothing to do, my daughter has signed up for the sect competition three months later, and she needs to be well prepared, so she won't stay at home for a long time." ”
"Stop!"
Seeing that his concubine turned around and wanted to leave, Zhang Chengkang finally couldn't care about anything anymore, and said loudly: "The clan has booked a family affair for you, and you will return to Yunxian Sect after you get married." ”
"Family?"
Zhang Yiyi stopped and looked at Zhang Chengkang with extremely mocking eyes: "I'm only sixteen years old." ”
Zhang Chengkang thought that his daughter-in-law would immediately turn her face with him when she heard the news, but she didn't want her attitude to be like this, as if there were not too many accidents.
staring at the mocking gaze of his concubine, he actually had a bit of shame that he had nowhere to escape, and he was about to throw off his sleeves and leave.
He forcibly ignored his daughter-in-law's gaze at him, and said bluntly: "Isn't it normal to marry at the age of sixteen? This is the ancestor himself nodded and decided, the man's conditions are good, and he will not wronged you." ”
"Hehe, I'm afraid the ancestor doesn't know my current situation. ”
Zhang Yiyi didn't bother to care about her father's attitude, and was as calm as talking about other people's business: "I am sixteen this year, and I am already at the eighth level of Qi training, and it is not a problem to build a foundation before the age of twenty." Although I am still in the outer gate of the Yunxian Sect for the time being, there is already a sect ancestor of the Yuanying Great Perfection who wants to accept me as a disciple after the big competition. The father has not paid attention to his daughter in the past few years, but he should also know what his daughter's current situation means. ”
Speaking of this, in Zhang Chengkang's shocked gaze, she paused and continued.
"It means that the cultivation speed and potential of my Three Spirit Roots will not be lost to those so-called geniuses of the Single Spirit Root at all! I think if the Old Ancestor really knew my current situation, it would never be possible for a young girl who had the most hope of becoming the support of the family's prosperity to marry off early. ”
"You ......"
Zhang Chengkang was speechless by his daughter-in-law's words, and his gaze at his daughter-in-law was even more complicated.
He really didn't expect that his daughter, who had been snubbed by him all these years, would grow to such a powerful point unconsciously.
This kind of strength is not cultivation, but the kind of strength that comes from the heart and blood and even the depths of the soul, as if the heavens can't make it panic, everything is in her control, but it's just a trivial matter.
"You...... Is it really favored by the ancestor of the sect Yuanying Great Perfection and is ready to be accepted as a disciple?"
He looked away a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help but ask again to confirm what his daughter had just said.
As for cultivation, he only remembered that when his concubine went to the Yunxian Sect for selection four years ago, he would only introduce qi into his body and practice qi at the first level.
In four years, from the first level of Qi training to the eighth level of Qi training, such a speed is not much different from Zhang Tongtong, the niece of Shan Linggen, who is regarded as the hope of the family.
"Dabi is just three months later. Zhang Yiyi's words were concise and clear.
Three months later, it became clear that she had no need to lie about such a thing.
Knowing that Zhang Chengkang already had a different idea about her family arrangements, Zhang Yiyi didn't feel any happiness, on the contrary, she felt inexplicably sad for the original owner.
There is no mother when he is young, and his father is such a person who only looks at interests and has no family affection at all, and even the lifelong events of the only concubine can be arranged at will.
"Yi, Yiyi......"
After a while, Zhang Chengkang called his concubine a little embarrassed, and his tone eased a lot.
"You're right, you're still young, and you should focus on cultivation. This marriage is not proper, so go and explain it to your grandfather for the father. Go back to the house and rest well, and wait for the good news of your father. ”
Looking at Zhang Chengkang's figure leaving quickly, the ridicule at the corner of Zhang Yiyi's mouth became more and more obvious.
Back in the boudoir where she lived four years ago, Zhang Yiyi casually beckoned a maid who looked the most clever to come in.
"Go and find out what the hell is going on with the marriage they want to arrange for me. ”
Zhang Yiyi directly took out a bottle of Qi Cultivation Pill and gave it to the maid: "If you behave well, there will be it after you talk!"
"Fifth Miss, please rest assured, the slave will not disappoint you. ”
The maid was extremely happy, and immediately went to inquire after taking the Peiqi Pill.
Zhang Yiyi was glad in her heart, fortunately, she received this month's disciple benefits when she left the sect, otherwise a poor person like her would not be able to bribe people with something.
In her opinion, it is definitely not easy to come out of nowhere.
After all, the Zhang family can be regarded as a Xiuzhen family, and the children of the clan who have spiritual roots to practice cannot be engaged and married so young.
Even if it is for the sake of profit, there are many school-age women in the clan, where is it necessary to deliberately call a girl who has entered the big sect to practice and has an excellent development momentum to come back and marry early.
She suddenly remembered that four years ago, she was almost attacked and eaten by the sect's mountain protection demon beast.
Later, Qiao Chu said that someone should have put a special medicine powder on her for the tiger Jiao Beast.
And now that I think about it, the person who could calculate her whereabouts at that time, and who could unconsciously put the medicinal powder on her, was most likely the Zhang family's own people!
