24. Meet Parents (3)

In this way, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and after thousands of years, the Ji family has its own branches, and those who are close to each other can say that the ancestors who have been separated by five or six generations have the surname "Ji", who knows whom? Even if there is a patriarch who is the emperor, he can only take care of his close relatives, and unless he has real skills, he is no different from ordinary passers-by.

And in this Xianxia world, becoming an immortal cultivator is the hardest "real skill" - Huang Chang had heard Wang Feng and Wang Sanshao talk about how much he would help the family after entering Kunlun, and this is also valid for the Ji clan: Ji Ruo's father, Shengyangjun, has no talent for cultivating immortals, so according to the "normal" life trajectory, as the brother of the Son of Heaven, he can open up the prince's mansion when he becomes an adult, get a title, and get a small fief as a sustainable industry - usually a large manor. If there is no other income, his children and grandchildren, eating, drinking, and providing for themselves in the future, will all come from this inheritance. After all, the Son of Heaven has so many brothers, it is impossible to give each one of them a sealed territory.

But now that Ji Ruo has successfully entered Kunlun Mountain and become an official disciple of the Kunlun faction, then the future of the Shengyangjun clan of the Ji clan will be very good. If nothing else, the fief given to him after the opening of the government alone will increase considerably, it may be a county, a city, or even a county - it depends on Shengyangjun's own ambition and financial resources, and how much territory he can carve out on the border.

At that time, most of the territories of the human countries in the world were opened up from the barbaric and desperate domains, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was no exception, as long as someone dared to open up, the imperial court would dare to recognize their ownership of those lands, and if it was the Ji family's own people, it would of course be more supported. has a daughter who has become an immortal cultivator, and Shengyangjun is already qualified to be the guardian and pioneer of the Ji family, and to expand the territory for the family. How much territory can be expanded depends on the realm level of his monk's daughter, and it also depends on whether her contacts in the Kunlun sect are extensive.

- Ji Ruo, this girl is very elf, this time she took four monks above the middle stage home in one breath and walked around, even if it was just for a show, it was enough to make the reputation of the Shengyang Junfu greatly improved in the pickaxe capital.

Therefore, Huang Chang and the others obviously felt the attention of the other party when they met. Ji Ruo's father Shengyangjun is not very old, just less than forty, if according to the rules of Huang Chang's previous life, he can even be regarded as a "young man", and his own image is also very good, wearing a golden crown, a white face, a long body, and a somewhat personable appearance.

Because of his daughter, he didn't have too formal etiquette for Huang Chang and others, but he didn't put an elder between his words and demeanor at all, but fully expressed his respect and friendship to Huang Chang and them with a very sincere attitude.

"His Royal Highness looks like an ambitious ......"

After talking with him for a while, Huang Chang roughly made this judgment - in front of immortal cultivators, it was difficult for ordinary people to hide their true emotions. Whether Sheng Yangjun came over to perfunctory them out of politeness, or really wanted to make friends, he could be sensed by the divine thoughts-and Huang Chang sensed through the divine sense, and it should be the latter, and Sheng Yangjun seemed to have a request for them.

According to Sheng Yangjun's status, if he has no pursuits, he can pass comfortably in this life. Anyway, if there is a Ji Ruo, even if there is any intrigue within the Ji family, most of them will not involve him. And it was also because of Ji Ruo, even if he put up an elder shelf in front of Huang Chang and others, and put up a score or something, he didn't care about it here.

But he did not do this, but behaved very modestly and politely, then, if you are courteous to others, you will ask for something. Huang Chang estimated that this Shengyang monarch probably hoped to make a difference when he fought for a fief from the imperial court in the future. That's why you need to get as many friendships as possible from a few immortal cultivators.

However, the prince was obviously very measured in his interpersonal approach, and did not say anything superfluous except to express goodwill when they met for the first time. It's just like Li Zhai, trying his best to talk and make friends with these Kunlun disciples. Moreover, Huang Chang also vaguely felt that Sheng Yangjun's eyes on him seemed to be quite different from that of Murong Ying and the other three, could it be that Ji Ruo said something to his father, or was he thinking too much and being too sensitive?

Huang Chang secretly pondered about this for a long time, but he couldn't come to any conclusions, after all, the monk's divine thoughts are not omnipotent, and they can't really explore the inner thoughts of others.

............

Under the enthusiastic invitation of Sheng Yangjun, in the next few days, Huang Chang and his party temporarily lived in the palace, anyway, the spiritual energy of the lower realm in the world is barren, and it is the same wherever they cultivate. And being a guest and living in it has a very different meaning to the outside world, and they can be regarded as helping Ji Ruo's father, which is conducive to him continuing to improve his reputation among the many palaces in the capital, so as to strive for more talents and resources - these are important help for him to expand his fiefdom in the future.

Since they lived in the palace, they naturally inevitably met with Shengyangjun's step-princess - that is, the stepmother who made Ji Ruo feel angry. When Ji Ruo talked to Huang Chang about her before, she imagined this woman as very insidious and cunning - how could she have robbed her father who originally loved her mother deeply?

But Huang Chang and others have not felt this way after coming into contact with him in the past few days. But like most mortals, this young and beautiful step-princess was quite timid in the face of immortal cultivators, especially in front of Ji Ruo, she seemed to be short-hearted and cautious, and she did not have the majesty of the so-called "stepmother" at all.

And her seven-year-old son, who is Ji Ruo's half-brother, behaved diametrically opposite-this little Rob head actually hid behind the screen in the living room as early as Huang Chang's first day when they came to the door, sneakily peeping and eavesdropping in the hall. Of course, it was impossible to hide the induction of the monks in the hall, but everyone just laughed.

And this little guy was obviously very interested in immortal cultivators, and he sneaked into the guest house where Huang Chang and them lived almost every day for the next few days—perhaps because he had been warned by his mother, or because there was a difference between men and women, he did not dare to approach Ji Ruo's residence. But the four people on Huang Chang's side are all men, and they all seem to be smiling and talking better, so the little guy always likes to drill here. For the first day or two, he was timidly hiding in the bushes in the corner, but when he saw that no one cared about him, he had the courage to stand directly on the edge of the martial arts training ground and watch Huang Chang and them exercise. If it weren't for the fact that several people here deliberately made a posture of not being interested in them at all, they would have approached a long time ago.
