『Chapter error, click here to report』
Time passed slowly in the practice, and in the blink of an eye, a year passed, Li Ji had a small harvest in Tu Dun, and An Ran was also ready to start a formal retreat to impact Jindan.
Before the retreat, An Ran took her face back to the ancestral house, before the retreat, she needed a more peaceful and quiet mood, so some trivial matters had to be dealt with.
In fact, what she can't worry about the most is Li Ji, her husband who has turned over the river and the sea has been holding back in the Emerald Valley for a year, and she doesn't know how long it will take to rush to the realm, how can he bear it if he stays in Chonghuang alone?
She also suggested that Li Ji return to Xuanyuan, but Li Ji did not agree, since she had promised An Ran to accompany her through the most difficult process of this monk, there was no reason to give up halfway, and to be honest, he had nothing to do when he went back, and here, at least there was a dry well for him to cultivate.
What An Ran didn't expect was that when she returned to the ancestral house to deal with trivial matters, Li Ji didn't cause her any trouble, but she had some small problems herself.
An Ran's father, the thirty-fourth generation grandson of the An family, was also an outstanding child of a talented family at that time, unfortunately, when An Ran was ten years old, he was killed due to a dispute with someone who went out on an expedition; An Ran's mother was very ordinary, born in a mortal family, and was just an ordinary alchemy disciple of Chonghuang before marrying his father, and after getting married, he gave birth to An Ran and never came out again, and after the death of his husband, he stayed in the territory of the An family.
His mother did not have much talent for cultivation, and her husband's status in the family after her death was not as good as before, and her beloved daughter was sent to the northern regions, so it was difficult to solve the knot; monks do not build foundations, and there is no essential difference between their bodies and mortals, especially their depressed mood, which is a taboo for monks, even if there is an elixir to continue their lives, it will not last long, and when their mother died, An Ran had not yet come together with Li Ji.
So all this, in fact, Li Ji doesn't know much.
This time, the trouble came from An Ran's mother's family; Originally, the immortals were separated, and as soon as people entered the cultivation of the truth, in many cases, they slowly cut off contact with the secular world, especially after the close relatives such as parents and siblings were gone, and how many of them still took care of the great-grandchildren and great-grandchildren in the original family?
An Ran's mother's family is different, her mother's realm strength, ambition is retributive, and she has no ability to establish a family at all, and even she herself stepped into the cultivation world by accident, so her maternal Yan family is still a pure mortal family, and there is no change.
The mortal family seems to have more human touch than the Xiuzhen family? They will tease their grandchildren, because of the limitation of their longevity, they will not see the grand occasion of infinite reproduction of their children and grandchildren, and they will not let them be numb to the point of ignoring them.
An Ran and his grandfather's family did not have much contact, but they were very close, Yan's poetry and books were heirlooms, and he had a bookish atmosphere, not flattering, not bullying, although he often sent people to send some mundane daily uses, but he never asked for anything.
This time, it was the first time that the grandfather Yan clan had asked for permission since An Ran remembered, and it was not the stubborn old man of the patriarch himself, but an uncle and grandson, so it can be seen that the Yan family's patience does not seem to be a trivial matter.
The letter is from a month ago, the content is very simple and vague, just asking An Ran if he can contact the Taishou of Yan Haicheng through the relationship of the cultivation realm, which shows that this is not a trouble in the cultivation realm, but a trouble in the mundane world.
The problem is that Yan Haicheng is not in the sphere of influence of Chonghuang Zhenguan, but in the territory of Yuqingmen; the three top sects in the East China Sea, Chonghuang and Guangling have a good relationship with each other, and they can talk to each other, but Yuqing can't, as one of the three Qings, he usually always holds a pair of East China Sea bosses, and he takes it big.
An Ran was very annoyed, she couldn't ignore the affairs of her grandfather's family, but if she asked for permission to go to An's family for this matter, how much would she have to pay? Her connections were limited, so she could only ask An Muyuan to entrust people, and when she finally found Yan Haicheng to garrison the Taoist, she didn't know how many resources it would cost; Chonghuang was not afraid of Hua Lingshi, but he was afraid that Yuqing would mention some additional conditions, and now the relationship between the two factions was delicate, and the favor was not so easy to owe.
The most important thing is that once Yuqing knows that the Yan clan is An Ran's mother's clan, can he still have a good relationship? Li Ji's Taoist companion is a member of the Chonghuangan clan, which is not a secret in the East China Sea.
Monks are not omnipotent, at least in the East China Sea, the forces of all parties are intricate, you have me, I have you, but it is by no means as simple as a monk being angry and blood splashing three feet, the contradictions and disputes in the mortal world are best resolved by mortal means, if it really involves the cultivation realm, I am afraid that no matter what the result is, it will inevitably take off a layer of skin.
An Ran knew very well that with her ability to do things and her connections in the East China Sea, don't look at her as a heart-warming monk, she may not be able to solve the troubles of the cities within Yuqing's sphere of influence, but if she asks for the family, knowing that the family will definitely take action for Li Ji's face, she is a little reluctant.
She was very aware of Li Ji's concerns, and she didn't want to pull Li Ji and An Shi too deeply because of this matter.
After coming out of the ancestral house, she called Li Ji, who was waiting outside, and the two of them returned all the way back to the Emerald Valley, An Ran's face was calm, she needed to think about it carefully, it had been delayed for more than a month, and it was not short for a few days.
Walking into the small building of the Emerald Valley, away from the sight of the servant, Li Ji gently held her hand,
"What, is there trouble?" Li Ji glanced at the somewhat abrupt woman,
"Don't be surprised, in front of Jin Dan, your little cover-up is meaningless. ”
An Ran smiled, "It's not a big deal, it will be solved soon." ”
Li Ji smiled, "You're lying! Tell me, the reason why I'm here is to solve your troubles, two people are better than one person! I remember I told you before that the best way to solve problems in this world is to be honest! The worst way to deal with it is to drill the horns of the bull yourself! As for the rest, leave it to God, it's as simple as that!"
An Ran thought about it, and smiled, he was also a monk who was about to get married, and his mood and knowledge were not much worse, so he explained the ins and outs in detail.
Li Ji sighed, "It's a simple matter, you can't solve it yourself, it's too exciting to find a family, and it's difficult to deal with the beginning...... Then I'll go, and I'll take this opportunity to see the scenery of the East China Sea, the customs, and all kinds of beauties......"
"Li Ji ......"
Li Ji stopped her, "First of all, in terms of ability to deal with things, can you find someone stronger than me? Secondly, in terms of your own strength, this must be explained? Your husband and I are good at swordsmanship, not to mention poetry, as long as you don't move the flying sword, what is there to worry about?"
An Ran hesitated for a moment, "Then you, in what capacity did you go to Yanhai?"
Li Ji laughed: "People from the rivers and lakes, bachelor of you, nickname, jade-faced dragon Xiaolangjun is also!"
