Chapter 04: The Beginning
Anyang.
Winter is getting colder, and the streets are not as noisy as they used to be.
At this time, Su Xiaoxiao, the youngest daughter of the Su family, has grown up a lot, and is no longer held in her arms by adults as before, but has gotten rid of such shackles, and is running around curiously in the sight of her elders.
Behind him, Shangguan Yao walked side by side with her mother.
Ye Qiuqi and Su Xiaoyan recently got married, so the Su family and the Shangguan family also came to this Anyang City, but Su's father and Su mother were discussing the wedding with the Ye family in the villa at the moment, so they handed Su Xiaoxiao over to Shangguan's mother and the two to take care of them temporarily. At noon, I saw the winter sun, and only then did I come out of the city for a leisurely walk.
Su Xiaoxiao was wearing a cotton jacket, looking east and west at the street stalls, looking extremely lively and cute.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yao, who rarely showed a smile, also smiled slightly.
"Yao'er. ”
I only heard Shangguan's mother call softly, and then Shangguan Yao came back to her senses and responded:
"Mother. ”
Xiaoyan now has a home. ”
Shangguan's mother glanced at Shangguan Yao softly, sighed, and continued, "I know that you have entered the Dao Gate, and the matter of marriage is no longer so important, but my Shangguan family has always been a secular family. Although your father didn't say it, I could see that he was not so well, and we only had one daughter......
"Mother, don't say it!"
Suddenly, Shangguan Yao interrupted her mother's words and stopped talking.
Dressed in white, he looked a little lonely, and unconsciously, Shangguan Yao had no interest in continuing to walk idly, glanced at Su Xiaoxiao in front of him, and suddenly, shouted:
"Tiny!"
Hearing this, Shangguan's mother also turned her eyes sideways, and then showed a worried look on her face.
I saw Su Xiaoxiao suddenly running towards a place, as if he had seen something of interest, but a bulky little padded jacket caused the soles of his feet to be careless, and he fell to the ground.
"Oops!"
"Tiny!"
Suddenly, Shangguan's mother also shouted, and was about to run over.
Suddenly, I saw another woman coming from nowhere, and she had already walked to Su Xiaoxiao's side and helped Su Xiaoxiao's petite body. I saw that she was wearing a pink dress, which was a little fresh and refined among the noble, squatting in front of Su Xiaoxiao at the moment, and wiping the dust on Su Xiaoxiao's sleeves quite lovingly.
Shangguan Yao's eyebrows froze, but he didn't move.
Willow sinks.
At this moment, it was Liu Shenyan of the Jade Sword Sect who helped Su Xiaoxiao.
Since Liu Shenyan met Ye Qiuqi that time, the two of them have had a lot of things together under the order of the teacher, and they have a good temperament with each other, and the relationship is not bad. Therefore, Ye Qiuqi got married, and Liu Shenyan also had to come in person.
I saw her wipe the dust off Su Xiaoxiao's clothes, and also looked at Shangguan Yao, without words.
"How can you be so careless. ”
Immediately, Shangguan's mother walked over and hugged Su Xiaoxiao, and cast a grateful look at Liu Shenyan. At this moment, he didn't care if his daughter Shangguan Yao and this woman knew each other, so he only stroked Su Xiaoxiao's head lovingly. However, immediately after, Su Xiaoxiao's words made the people present suddenly stunned:
"I saw Brother Qin Chuan. ”
......
Night.
In Yanxia Villa, a slightly wealthy man walked out a little tired.
But it was Ye Qiuqi's follower at the beginning, Ade.
As Ye Qiuqi took over as the head of the Ye family, he also followed Feihuang Tengda and turned over to become the deacon and housekeeper of the Ye family's mundane affairs. Everything was entrusted to Ye Qiuqi's care, so although he was tired, he did not complain.
Now that Ye Qiuqi is getting married, the guests of the villa are not only the worldly races and families he has dealt with in the past, but also the various sects and sects in the cultivation realm. Those cultivators are not like the Shang Jia family who used to tie up the Ye family, none of them can be offended by him, which is the direct reason why he feels tired.
Fuxi Gate, Confucian Garden, and major sects, these distinguished guests, who are rarely seen on weekdays, are all concentrated in Yanxia Villa at this moment, and the one who entertains them is naturally the secular housekeeper Ade.
"The marriage of the second son, if you are tired, you will be tired. ”
Ade shook his head, his face still filled with joy.
Out of the villa, he returned to his mansion, and he was busy recently, so he could only take advantage of his evening leisure to go home to deal with some household chores. At this moment, he is the housekeeper of Yanxia Villa, and he no longer lives in the small mansion he used to have, and the Ye family has a big business, and of course he has relocated a mansion.
Pushing open the door, Ade's expression suddenly changed.
It seems that he has noticed some abnormalities, and after staying by Ye Qiuqi's side for a long time, he has also cultivated some keen senses. At this moment, his mansion was shocked by an extremely intimidating aura.
There are cultivators coming!
"Who could it be?"
Ade's heart froze, slowed down, and slowly pushed open the door of the lobby.
Immediately, I saw a man in Taoist clothes, sitting on the guest seat, a cup of hot tea dissipating heat, slowly fluttering. The different red maple robe suddenly evoked memories that he didn't dare to forget.
"Ade, how are you doing?"
The person in the seat smiled slightly and greeted Ade.
"Immortal Chief!"
Suddenly, Ade exhaled. He naturally recognized it, and the person on the seat at this moment was Qin Chuan, who had saved his wife's life, and was also a close friend of the second son of the Ye family he served.
Qin Chuan snorted slightly.
Ade was overjoyed, and his exhaustion seemed to dissipate in an instant.
Although he is the steward of Yanxia Villa, he only manages mundane affairs, and naturally knows very little about the affairs of the Xiuzhen Room, let alone the fact that Qin Chuan attacked Fuximen in the first place. At this moment, thinking of the old grace, he hurriedly entertained Qin Chuan's good life, and asked about Qin Chuan's business tonight.
"What do you ask me to ask the Immortal Chief, even if I ask you. ”
Ade said, instantly remembered something, and said, "The second son will get married the day after tomorrow, if you know that you are also here, you will be very happy." By the way, has the Immortal Elder been to the Villa?"
Hearing this, Qin Chuan pursed his lips slightly.
But he was bitter in his heart, if he could go to Yanxia Villa, why did he have to come to this Ade?
"Not yet. But at the moment, I have something important to do, and I'm afraid I can't go in person. ”
"The wedding the day after tomorrow, the fairy chief will not come?"
Ade asked hurriedly, a look of regret in his eyes.
"So I came to ask you to send some congratulatory gifts on my behalf, and you said that it was sent by Qingying Mountain, remember, don't say that I have been here...... I was afraid that he would blame me if he knew I was coming and not go to him. Qin Chuan added, since it is also a cover for Ade. The real reason behind it, and how can it be told to him.
With that, he took out a jade box from his bosom and handed it to Ade.
"Remember!"
After another word of advice, Qin Chuan did not stay any longer, resigned from Ade, and wanted to leave.
"Immortal Chief, what do you want Ade to convey on your behalf?"
"Just say a blessing......"
Hearing this, Qin Chuan stopped slightly:
"Don't forget your original intention. ”
......
Following.
Yanxia Villa, full of lights and flowers.
The wedding of the head of the Ye family is a major event in the Central Plains. The Ye family has always had a deep relationship with the Confucian Garden, and many of the descendants and elders of the clan are disciples of the Confucian Garden, and a few elders are still the outer door gentlemen of the Confucian Garden. And the newlyweds Ye Qiuqi and Su Xiaoyan are outstanding disciples of Fuximen.
Ye Qiuqi is hearty by nature and likes to make friends with heroes in the world. Over the past few years, young people from various sects, such as Liu Shenyan of the Jade Sword Sect, have also made a lot of friends, and now he is the head of the Ye family, and he can almost be said to be the most famous person in the Central Plains. The joy of one person is the joy of the whole world.
In addition, the Ye family also has a pivotal position in the world, and various merchant families, scholarly families, and officials and gentry all have a close relationship with the Ye family and have a lot of friendship.
The Ye family did not participate in the siege of Qingming Mountain back then, and no one dared to come forward to accuse them afterwards, which is the reason.
Therefore, today's Yanxia Villa can be said to be in full swing.
Almost all the people with status and status in the world are concentrated in a small Anyang City. The same is true of the realm of cultivation. However, because of this, the guards of Yanxia Mountain Villa have also increased several times compared to before, and what they prevented was the sudden attack of the Demon Sect.
With such a grand event, it is impossible for the Dark Sect or the Underworld Sect not to take action.
A happy event, in Ye Qiuqi's eyes, has become a huge trouble.
At this moment, in the back garden of the villa, Ye Qiuqi was a little worried.
However, it is not because of this that the Demon Sect is worried, the Demon Sect attacks, it is a big deal to fight back, so many Xiuzhen Sects, even if they want to come to the Demon Sect, they can't set off any wind. What he was worried about was the thing on the table.
"It was sent by Qingming Mountain. ”
Adli was behind Ye Qiuqi, pursed his lips, and answered.
"Green Immortal Mountain?"
Ye Qiuqi sat upright in a gorgeous robe, and seemed to ask himself rhetorically.
On the table, a jade box was open, and what was contained in it was only a pill. The color is smooth and clean, the quality is extremely high, I think it is from the hands of a famous artist, but its refining method is ordinary, and it can even be seen that it is deliberate, and it is also a Jingqi Pill that has no effect on him or Su Xiaoyan.
A Tranquility Pill taken to cross the threshold of monasticism!
"Don't forget the original ......"
Ye Qiuqi said silently.
At the beginning, it was a calm qi pill, which drew the red line for him and Su Xiaoyan, and after all the later things, he had today's cultivation fruit. At that time, he only wanted Su Xiaoyan to break through quickly, so that they could go up and down Yanfeng together.
This is the original intention.
Suddenly, Ye Qiuqi looked stunned and raised his head.
Knowing his relationship with Qin Chuan, it is naturally possible that A Luo Ye on Qingming Mountain will really send a congratulatory gift. But how could Ah Luoye know about this past of the Jingqi Pill?
This Tranquility Pill can only come from the hand of one person!
"What about the others?" Ye Qiuqi asked.
"Gone. ”
Hearing this, Ye Qiuqi was silent, and he didn't care about the complicated affairs of the villa at the moment.
Since that incident, it has been rumored in the Central Plains that Qin Chuan is dead. There was no news from Qingming Mountain, although he knew that Shangguan Yao had worked tirelessly to investigate around, but he didn't ask what the result was. If Qin Chuan really died, Fuximen might be able to selectively forget it as a past incident and no longer ask about it.
And if Qin Chuan didn't die, what would happen?
He only treated Qin Chuan as dead......
However, at the moment, it seems that this is not the case. Ye Qiuqi was suddenly a little happy, but he also had some worries buried deeply. Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly instructed Ade:
"You go and invite Liu Shenyan of the Jade Sword Sect, I have something to look for her. ”
