Zhu Xie's expression was grim, and he said with a straight face: "Yan'er, back then, when you set foot on the battlefield in order to meet the Demon Venerable Peerless, the entire White Fox Clan was proud of you. But when you go, you have lost your news, and your life and death are unknown. Do you know how your mother and I have survived every day during the 500 years we have been wandering? Do you know the worries and anxieties in our hearts?"

Zhu Yuan saw that Zhu Xie changed to a tone of lesson, and immediately became unhappy, and lowered his face and said, "What do you mean by this? My daughter finally came back safe and sound, are you really ready to punish her?"

Zhu Xie seemed to be quite angry, and immediately retorted: "You don't have to protect her, and you haven't contacted her family for five hundred years, so what if you come back now? Is this her filial piety?"

Zhu Yuan's anger was completely ignited by Zhu Xie's words, and he raised his voice: "Zhu Xie, you don't want to gain an inch. Since my daughter has returned, it is a blessing from God, and I think you are going to toss this happy event into a disaster. Yan'er, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, don't pay attention to your father. ”

Seeing that the couple would quarrel at any time, Zhu Yan lowered his head, looking repentant and willing to accept any punishment, and there was no sign of refuting his father's opinion at all.

Seeing this scene, Qi Jian on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly intervened to stop this impending family war.

"Uncle, I think you did misunderstand Zhu Yan. The reason why she didn't contact you is because of her own troubles. ”

"Oh, how do you say this?" Zhu Xie asked as he followed Qi Jian's words, so that he could continue.

Qi Jian cleared his throat and continued, "Zhu Yan suffered serious internal injuries during the battle against the Demon Venerable Five Hundred Years ago, causing her to lose all her memories and be beaten back to her original form. She had been recuperating in a forest on Penglai Island for the past five hundred years, and until I found her, she didn't have enough spiritual power to maintain her human form. Later, after she successfully recovered, I decided to take her back to Qingqiu Kingdom, and her memory was restored little by little along the way, until we came to the stone tablet engraved with the word 'Chongling Sect', and her memory was basically restored. ”

After Zhu Yuan listened to Qi Jian's words, his eyes began to turn red again, and he said to Zhu Xie: "Listen, my daughter has been an extremely filial child since she was a child, how could she do that unfilial act." It's just a pity that she has suffered such a serious internal injury, and it will take five hundred years to recover, and it is only to blame that the two of us are incompetent and unable to protect her properly. ”

Seeing her mother say this, Zhu Yan hurriedly said, "Mother, the reason why I was injured was only because I was not strong, so I can't blame anyone." How can you put the blame on yourself?"

Zhu Xie sighed softly at this moment and asked Zhu Yan, "Is what this son said true?"

Zhu Yan wanted to deliberately conceal it and accept the punishment, but at this moment, he saw that he couldn't hide it, so he had to admit the truth.

Zhu Xie shook his head and said earnestly: "You have had this problem since you were a child, and it has not changed for more than a thousand years. As soon as we arrived in front of the two of us, we were submissive and lost our opinions. Even if it's not your fault, you have to admit it. I've been angry countless times that I shouldn't have been, and I've had countless fights with your mother that shouldn't have been. This kind of behavior will only add a lot of unnecessary trouble to the two of us, but it is not a filial piety, and it must be corrected in the future, have you heard?"

Zhu Yan immediately responded: "The daughter must obey her father's will."

Teach us to correct this problem as soon as possible. ”

Zhu Yuan rarely agreed with her husband and agreed: "Your father is right, this habit of admitting mistakes must be changed." ”

"Don't worry, mother, the child will definitely change. ”

Zhu Xie bowed slightly, and said, "Yan'er, get up, go and talk to your mother in the house." I'll talk to this son alone. ”

When Zhu Yuan heard this, he hurriedly pulled Zhu Xie aside and advised: "This is Yan'er's benefactor, you can't neglect others, pay attention when you speak." ”

Zhu Xie smiled: "I've always been polite to the outside world, and you don't know it!"

Zhu Yuan said in a disdainful tone: "Yes, yes, you are polite to outsiders, but you are arrogant and unreasonable to your family." After that, he raised his voice and said, "Yan'er, let's go." Then he pulled Zhu Yan up the stairs and walked to the third floor.

Zhu Xie's solemn appearance didn't frighten Qi Jian at all, and when he saw Zhu Yuan and Zhu Yan walking away at this moment, he took the initiative to come up and said to Zhu Xie: "Mrs. Zun's personality is a bit similar to her daughter." ”

Zhu Xie was a little surprised when he saw Qi Jian say this, and said suspiciously: "Is it? Yan'er, when she was with you, she showed a personality like her mother? I thought she would be the type of little bird." ”

Qi Jian smiled: "You are her father, how can you not even know her character?"

Zhu Xie shook his head and sighed: "Yan'er's personality in front of me has always been the same as Fang Cai, always giving people a feeling of resignation, but I didn't expect her to do it deliberately." Maybe it's only with someone like you that she can show her true nature. ”

Qi Jian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle is lifting me up, Zhu Yan is just doing her filial piety in her own way." ”

Zhu Xie changed his words at this time and said, "Let's not talk about Yan'er for now, I don't know what to call my son?"

Qi Jian responded: "Under the surname Qi Mingjian, the fifteenth generation disciple of the Penglai Kingdom Shangwu Hall. ”

Zhu Xie arched his hand and said with respect: "It turned out to be a high-ranking disciple of Shangwutang, disrespectful and disrespectful, no wonder you will find Yan'er in the forest of Penglai." ”

Qi Jian shook his head and said: "What kind of high disciple am I, compared to Zhu Yan, my strength is worthless, she can be called a real high apprentice." ”

"She has been practicing for more than a thousand years, and if you had spent so much time concentrating on cultivation, you might have achieved even higher attainments. ”

Qi Jian smiled awkwardly, and said in his heart: "However, it would be good if I could have a hundred years of life, and I dare not ask for more." ”

At this time, he saw Zhu Xie move his body closer to Qi Jian, and said softly: "It is rumored that Qi Qiong, the founder of Shangwutang, and Zhu Huannai, the ancestor of my Chongling Sect, are close friends, and now you have rescued Yu Yan'er and brought her back here, all of this is a rare fate." Tell me the truth, young man, what do you think of Yan'er?"

Qi Jian's face was slightly red, but he still mustered up his courage and said tentatively: "Uncle, don't be angry if I tell you the truth. ”

"Anyway, I'm not as receptive as you think. ”

Qi Jian saw that Zhu Xie showed no signs of turning his face, so he said truthfully: "Uncle, I like Zhu Yan very much, and I hope to marry him in the future."

She is a wife and has been with her all her life. If my uncle doesn't agree, I'd rather never marry for the rest of my life. ”

Zhu Xie laughed loudly when he heard this: "Hahaha... I just like your straightforward personality, not like Yan'er is secretive and twisted. And just by the fact that you did not hesitate to leave your hometown in order to send Yan'er home, it is enough to prove your heart for her. There are really few men like you who are talented and well-behaved. I'm very satisfied with you, as for whether the two of you can get married, you have to ask Yan'er and her mother. If she agrees with me, then find an auspicious day for the two of you to get married, and I will prepare for the wedding feast. ”

When Qi Jian heard what Zhu Xie said, he almost jumped up with joy, and a look of joy that words could not describe appeared on his face, and the speed of his speech became very rapid.

"Uncle didn't lie to me, do you mean to agree to this marriage?"

Zhu Xie saw Qi Jian so happy, and he also felt a glimmer of relief in his heart.

"Of course, as soon as the eldest husband says it, it is difficult for the horse to chase, and my daughter will be married to you. Yan Er has never had a love idea in the seven hundred years of the Chongling Sect, once this kind of woman falls in love, she can't extricate herself, you have to cherish her. ”

Qi Jian hurriedly swore and replied: "Uncle, no, it should be called father-in-law now." You can rest assured, it is enough for me to bear all the hardships and hardships in the future, and I will never let Xiao Yan suffer even the slightest grievance. ”

"I still trust your character, since it's all said and done, then follow me upstairs to see your mother-in-law, and spread out the words to make it clear. ”

Without waiting for Qi Jian to answer, he pulled him straight to the third floor, regardless of whether Qi Jian would feel worried because he was not fully prepared.

On the third floor, in the room of Zhu Xie and Zhu Yuan, a mother and daughter were talking happily. At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhu Xie walked in with Qi Jian with an embarrassed look on his face.

"There is an important thing to announce, this son wants to marry Yan'er as his wife, I have already agreed, I don't know what Mrs. wants?"

It was the first time Qi Jian heard such a straightforward way of speaking, and his already embarrassed expression became even more distorted, looking very awkward.

And after Zhu Yan heard her father's words, two blush suddenly appeared on her little face, like two fiery clouds in the sky, matching her flawless face, which looked very cute.

At this moment, Zhu Yan felt that his whole face was burning like a high fever, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to bury this head underground. His eyes couldn't help but glance at Qi Jian, and he glared at him with unusually "fierce" eyes, as if he thought he was the culprit for the current embarrassing situation.

Qi Jian had no choice but to shake his head innocently, and told Zhu Yan with an expression that this was not his own idea, but a trick directed and acted by Zhu Xie, and he was just on the thief ship now, and he couldn't help himself.

Such an embarrassing scene was resolved by Zhu Yuan's words at this time.

I saw Zhu Yuan smile and said: "From the moment I saw this son, I have included him in the ranks of choosing a son-in-law, since you have agreed, why should I object? It happens that the twentieth day of this month is the auspicious day of the zodiac, that is, ten days later, when you and I will hold a wedding banquet for them, and let the two of them visit the church to get married." ”
