Mirror Lake Meng Mansion, study.

After practicing the sword all day, although the spirit is high, the true qi is exhausted, the body is tired, and it must also rest. Meng Chuan also came to the study and began one of the things he must do every day - painting.

The paperweight is pressed against the paper, and there is a beautiful palette on the side, and all the pigments in it are also of the highest quality.

Meng Chuan is painting with his heart.

Since childhood, Meng Chuan has loved to draw.

It may be that the mother is good at drawing and teaches her son to draw. This is one of his favorite things when he was young, a three- or four-year-old child painted for three or four hours in a row, forgot to eat, was not tired at all, his body was covered with paint, and he was still smiling and happy. His mother once said, "My son is extremely talented, and he will definitely become the world's first-class painter, and a painting is worth a thousand gold." ”

Born in the Meng family, his parents are pampered, and he is carefree.

However, at the age of six......

In that catastrophe, more than 100,000 people died, and my mother also died.

He fled back to Dongning Mansion under the desperate protection of his parents, and from then on he practiced hard, but he still painted for an hour every day, and when he painted, the fatigue of his cultivation would be forgotten, and he even felt that he was back when he was a child, and his mother was guiding him to paint, and his soul was extremely peaceful.

Fifteen years old.

I have been painting for more than ten years, and I have also worshipped several painters, and I have long been better than blue. Mother was right, his talent was indeed outstanding enough, at least higher than his talent for cultivating sword techniques.

What's the use?

No matter how powerful a painter is, can he kill monsters?

"Knock knock. There was a slight anxious knock on the door outside the study.

"Huh?"

Meng Chuan looked out suspiciously, "When I paint, no one usually bother, what's going on?"

Put down the paintbrush and open the door, his father Meng Dajiang was standing outside the door, usually he was smiling, but today his face was a little solemn.

"Chuan'er, quickly follow me to the ancestral house. Meng Dajiang said.

"Good. ”

Meng Chuan didn't hesitate, and immediately followed his father out, "Dad, why have you been going to the ancestral house so often in the past few days?"

"Nothing. Meng Dajiang didn't say much.

"Then I'm going to the ancestral house now, what's the matter?" Meng Chuan asked again, he only went to the ancestral house three or five times a year as a junior.

Meng Dajiang glanced at his son, but still said: "It was the marriage contract between you and Yun Qingping, the Yun family discussed with the Meng family and decided to dissolve the marriage contract." ”

"Dissolution of the marriage contract?" Meng Chuan was surprised, "Dad, why did you suddenly break the marriage contract?"

"Are you reluctant?" Meng Dajiang looked at his son.

"Nope. Meng Chuanlian shook his head, "Yun Qingping and I only see each other once in a few months, and our temperaments don't get along, so it's a good thing for me to break the marriage contract." ”

Meng Chuan, who is only fifteen years old this year, still doesn't know much about love.

For Yun Qingping, it feels like a more familiar and somewhat wayward little sister, that's all.

"It's good if you think like this, this time, the Yun family and my Meng family have agreed to dissolve the marriage contract. Meng Dajiang said, "When you get to the ancestral house, you just listen and don't talk much." ”

"Yes. Meng Chuan nodded in response.

......

The ancestral house of the Meng family, in the west city of Dongning City, covers a huge area, and there are more than 2,000 clansmen living in it, and there is a mile of land along the central axis road from south to north.

Of course, the foundation of the Meng family is in the countryside, because of the threat of the demon clan, the people in the countryside have formed a dock fort to protect themselves. There are thousands of people in each Dock Fort, and it is not uncommon for the same clan to gather in a Dock Fort. After thousands of years of reproduction, the Meng family has three large dock forts, which add up to more than 10,000 people. In Tungning Province, there are also many such large families.

The special thing about the Meng family is that there are gods and demons.

Naturally, he immediately became one of the five highest-ranking god and demon families in Dongning Mansion.

"Elder. ”

"Elder. ”

The ancestral house was in order, and some of the clansmen on patrol saw Meng Dajiang's father and son, and they also respectfully saluted Meng Dajiang and called him 'Elder'.

Meng Dajiang, who ranks among the top three in the Meng family's strength, is still quite young, and still has a glimmer of hope to become a god and demon. He is the next patriarch of the family.

"Huh?"

Meng Chuan followed his father and entered the hall to welcome guests.

There were already a lot of people sitting on both sides of the hall, the Meng family on one side and the Yun family on the other, but the atmosphere was obviously not right. Meng Chuan could see at a glance that most of his elders' faces were not good-looking.

"Brother Oe is here. Yun Fu'an got up and said with a smile, "I also brought the marriage book." ”

"Brought. Meng Dajiang nodded slightly.

Yun Fu'an smiled: "The other elders have no objection to the dissolution of the marriage contract, Brother Dajiang, there should be no objection either, right?"

Meng Dajiang stood there and said with a smile: "If the two families are interested, it is a good thing to get married." Since it is unintentional, it is better to dissolve the marriage contract early. This is the marriage book. ”

As he spoke, he took out a marriage book from his arms and handed it to Yun Fu'an with both hands.

After Yun Fu'an took it, he took a closer look, looked at the handwriting of the name on it, and nodded slightly, it was indeed the original marriage letter. The handwriting of the two ancestors cannot be imitated.

"Yun Fu'an, please tear up the marriage book directly here. A bald-haired and thin old man of the Meng family spoke.

"Haha, are you worried that I will take it back, and when it is critical in the future, I will take it out and force Meng Chuan to marry my daughter?" Yun Fuan smiled, "Don't worry, I can't do such a shameless thing!"

Saying "tear up-" Yun Fuan directly tore up the marriage book in his hand.

"I've torn up the marriage book, and you can see it clearly, so rest assured. Yun Fu'an smiled and glanced at the elders of the Meng family present, "Then I won't stay longer." ”

As he spoke, he walked out, followed by the other Yun family members behind him.

When he walked to Meng Chuan's side, Yun Fu'an stopped and looked at Meng Chuan with a smile: "Nephew Meng Xian, you can remember clearly, from now on, you and my daughter Qingping will have nothing to do with each other." ”

"Yes, it doesn't matter. Meng Chuan responded.

Yun Fu'an nodded and led the crowd away.

Meng Dajiang watched Yun Fu'an leave, frowned slightly, and calmly ordered: "Chuan'er, the marriage contract is dissolved, you should go back first." Daddy still has something to do here. ”

"Yes. Meng Chuan glanced at the elders and left obediently.

Bang~~~

The door of the temple was closed, and the main hall was still bright in the light of candles the thickness of children's arms.

"It's too much to deceive, too much to deceive!" The bald and thin old man's crutch smashed on the ground, and the sound of the smashing was a little harsh.

"On the surface, they said they were talking to us, but in reality we didn't have a choice. Do you want to marry with a cheeky skin?" A swarthy old man sneered and said, "If you dare to go to the Yun family to make trouble, I'm afraid you will be slapped to death by the ancestor of the Yun family!"

"It's also a good thing to dissolve the marriage contract, we really use the marriage contract to force the Yun family, so that the two juniors get married, is it useful? It will only make the Yun family hold a grudge. Marriage is to help each other, and if there is a feud, there is no need. In fact, for my Meng family, this marriage contract is just a trivial matter, and the third sister's injury is the major thing that shakes the foundation of my Meng family!" An elegant old man looked at the fat old man at the top, "Patriarch, the third sister's injury really can't be healed?"

The fat old man frowned and said, "In just these two days, the third sister will return to Dongning." We'll talk about that then. ”

Meng Dajiang listened from the side, his brows furrowed.

The Meng family's Optimus Pillar was crumbling, and all the elders of the Meng family were also worried.

The Meng family also kept the news secret, and only the elders knew about it. After all, if it spreads, the people of all clans in the family will be panicked, and it will only increase a lot of incidents.

Now......

Most of the other high-level officials of the four major gods and demons also knew the news, but there was no rumor, and they were afraid that there would really be blind juniors to anger the Meng family. After all, 'Meng Xiangu' is not dead! even if Meng Xiangu is really dead, she still has some friends with gods and demons. But as long as you don't go too far, those gods and demons friends won't interfere.

After all, without gods and demons, the Meng family would not be able to take on many heavy responsibilities. If you can't shoulder the heavy responsibility, you naturally can't enjoy a lot of power.

Equal responsibilities and powers.

In today's world, from the mundane to the gods and demons, no one can escape responsibility.

As long as a mortal reaches the realm of marrow washing, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, he must serve in the military for five years at the age of twenty! Only half of them can barely come back alive. But people still want to reach the state of marrow washing, because if they are too weak, they don't even have the value of military service, and in the rules of the imperial court, many professions that are not allowed to be engaged in are not allowed to be engaged in military service. can only be mixed at the bottom and live the most pitiful life.

And gods and demons are the backbone of human beings. Every god and demon has been fighting and guarding all his life, and even if he returns to his hometown to rest, he must guard his hometown city.

In this way, the gods and demons are dazzling and noble, and his family can also be brilliant and prosperous. And the gods and demons died and could not take on important responsibilities, so the family naturally had to step down from important positions.

When Meng Chuan returned home, it was almost dark.

"Ah Chuan, sit down and eat together, I heard that you and Uncle Meng went to the ancestral house, and I thought you wouldn't come back for dinner today. Liu Qiyue was sitting there drinking porridge and eating bread, Meng Chuan also sat down opposite, and a maid brought a bowl of porridge, Meng Chuan drank the porridge, but was a little distracted.

"Why didn't you say a word when you came back, what happened?" asked Liu Qiyue.

"Oh. ”

Meng Chuan came to his senses and said casually, "The Yun family and my Meng family have discussed and decided to dissolve the marriage contract between me and Yun Qingping. ”

"Dissolution of the marriage?" Liu Qiyue's eyes lit up.

"Well, just now, the marriage book was torn up on the spot. Meng Chuan nodded.

Liu Qiyue looked at Meng Chuan carefully and asked, "What, you are very sad to dissolve the marriage contract?"

"It's not. Meng Chuanlian shook his head, "Yun Qingping and I don't get along, and you don't know it." This dissolved the engagement, and she was happy. I'm also relaxed. It's good for her and it's good for me, it's a good thing, how can I be sad. ”

"Then why are you in a daze?" asked Liu Qiyue.

"I don't think it's right. Meng Chuan frowned and said, "The marriage contract was set by the two ancestors themselves. Even if they come to the door to dissolve the marriage contract, the Yun family will at least send their 'Yun Family Three Heroes' to come together. This is the most basic respect for my Meng family. But this time he was only the fifth in line, and Yun Fu'an, who was the most useless, came alone. I can't help but look down on my Meng family, this is the first suspicion. ”

"Second, in the main hall at that time, the patriarch and the elders had ugly faces. But they endured it from beginning to end, when did the patriarch be so good-tempered?"

"Thirdly, Yun Fu'an is usually very flattering in front of my father and them, and his posture is also very low. Today, he is much more presumptuous, where does he get the confidence?"

"The key thing is that there is always a reason behind the dissolution of the marriage contract. What is the reason that the marriage contract made by the two ancestors has been dissolved?"

Meng Chuan looked at Liu Qiyue, "I guess either the Yun family is a big backer!, or it's the reason for my Meng family." ”

Liu Qiyue was a little stunned when he heard this: "Ah Chuan, I didn't see it, you can think of so much?"

"It's just a guess, since Dad didn't tell me, naturally he has his reasons. Meng Chuan smiled.

"The one who has been dismarried is still laughing, so eat your bread quickly. Liu Qiyue urged with a smile.

"Eat bread and eat bread. Meng Chuan immediately took the dough and ate it.
