Chapter 1413
Chapter 1413 Marry Her Off Along with Chu Qing
After thinking about it, Zhang Han decided to let it go. He was currently full of energy, but he could only make a move once. If he wanted to make a second move, he would have to constantly take drugs and recover.
It was not worth it to waste his energy on Patriarch Chu.
“Alas!”
Zhang Han sighed softly, looked at the scenery in front of him, and murmured, “If my daughter were here and heard him talking to me like this, she would definitely be anxious, hahaha.”
At the thought of Mengmeng, Zhang Han felt better.
But it only lasted for a few minutes before he became depressed again.
“Mengmeng, wait for me to pick you up.”
Zhang Han touched his forehead.
He was also very worried about Zi Yan’s situation.
Although she had Tiny Tot with her, Zhang Han would still be worried.
Just like Zi Yan and Mengmeng, they also missed him all the time.
He had thought that he would soon rule the world and pick up them in an invincible manner.
He never had thought that he would end up like this.
If they saw him like this, they would definitely feel extremely distressed.
However, if he was beside Zi Yan and Mengmeng, Zhang Han would not have been lying on the sofa all day.
On the other side.
Chu Qingyi was currently in the Azure Dragon Palace.
There were more than a dozen elders in the hall.
Chu Qingyi knew all of them. When she walked in, she greeted everyone.
“It’s good to have you back.”
“I didn’t expect that you would come back after more than ten years. We were also very sad when we heard that you had an accident at that time.”
“It’s just that I’ve heard from some juniors that you’ve got an outsider to be your master. Is that true?” someone asked.
As soon as those words were said, everyone was silent, waiting for Chu Qingyi’s answer.
If she said that it wasn’t true, then it didn’t matter. They would just teach the man a lesson.
However-
“That’s right. I brought my master back this time.” Chu Qingyi directly admitted it in front of everyone.
Smack!
“This is absurd!”
The oldest man slammed the dragon chair and said, “That’s ridiculous. Chu Qingyi, as a member of the Chu Family, how could you recognize an outsider as your master?”
“I’m the adopted daughter of the Chu Family, and I’m not a family member officially,” Chu Qingyi replied calmly.
“What?”
What she said made many people present quite dumbfounded.
“What did she say?”
“You, you are so rebellious.” The old man was so angry that he glared at Chu Qingyi. His momentum was surging. It seemed that he wanted to teach her a lesson.
At this moment, Chu Qingyi smiled coldly.
“Back in the secret realm, I saved Chu Qing’s life. A life for a life. It’s just that I didn’t die. She has your nurture and care, so I don’t think I owe you anything. So, you don’t need to use any statements as elders to lecture me.”
She was not a woman of many words, but her words made others rendered speechless.
The old man did not know what to say for a long time.
The main reason was that he didn’t know the inside story.
“A life for a life?”
He didn’t know about it, and even the other elders didn’t know.
“Qingyi, you said you saved Chu Qing in the secret realm?” a beautiful woman asked.
“Let’s not talk about the past,” Chu Qingyi said. “What I want to say is that I can be considered half a member of the Chu Family. Seniors, please don’t put pressure on me with righteousness. I know what I should do.”
His words were a little harsh, but they made the crowd even more shocked and suspicious.
“Could it be that something happened in the secret realm?”
“In fact, I think you’re right.” The beautiful woman smiled and said, “Qingyi, you haven’t been back for more than ten years. I agree with you on acknowledging your master. But as for the Patriarch, you’d better inform him about it properly. May I know your master’s name and strength? Please tell us so that we can rest assured.”
“I don’t know about Master’s cultivation level.” Chu Qingyi shook her head.
If soft tactics didn’t work, then hard tactics would.
A middle-aged man snorted and said, “He’s lying in a wheelchair all day long. He’s just a good-for-nothing. What strength can he have?”
“Third Uncle Chu, be careful with your words.”
Chu Qingyi’s eyes turned cold.
The power of the Void-refining Realm Early Stage spread out.
A treasured sword would turn sharp due to tempering.
At this moment, Chu Qingyi was like an unsheathed sword, which was sharp and stunning.
Her eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man who had spoken rudely.
How many Void-refining Realm experts were present?
Less than five people.
Although the Chu Family was powerful, not every one of the members was.
Moreover, how many years had it taken them to reach the stage of the Void-refining Realm?
“You, you’ve reached the Void-refining Realm?”
The old man on the stage suddenly opened his eyes wide.
The others could not help but gasp.
Void-refining Realm masters were the backbone of the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven. In the Chu Family, one would be a high-position official if one was in the Void-refining Realm.
Chu Qingyi was only about thirty years old.
As a Void-refining Realm cultivator, she had the right to join the Four Great Sects and could even develop to become a chief supervisor or protector in the future.
When the crowd thought of this, the atmosphere in the hall became a little strange.
“I’ve obtained an opportunity back then, and I’m confident in my own strength. If any of you elders want to exchange moves with me, I’m willing to play along,” Chu Qingyi said with a cold smile.
It was actually a warning.
Chu Qingyi felt that these elders were a little too arrogant.
Even though some of them were friendly, they were still suppressed by others.
“That’s fine. I would just reveal my realm then.”
In the Cultivation World, the strong were respected.
The Void-refining Realm was not a low level here.
“Terrific. Qingyi, you’ve actually reached the Void-refining Realm!”
Suddenly, a pleasantly surprised voice came from outside the hall.
Patriarch Chu came over in a hurry with a smile.
“Patriarch.”
Chu Qingyi didn’t call him “Foster Father”.
This made Patriarch Chu’s eyes dim slightly, and he felt unhappy.
“We have two things to celebrate now. Chu Qing is going to marry Young Master Dong, and you’ve come back. How wonderful.” Patriarch Chu laughed out loud.
“Patriarch, I have something to ask the family for help,” Chu Qingyi said.
“What is it?” Patriarch Chu asked,
Chu Qingyi hesitated for a moment and said, “We want to find some people who are in the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven.”
“No problem.” Patriarch Chu nodded gently and said, “After Chu Qing gets married, we’ll talk about it in detail. Come on, Qingyi, take a seat and talk to us. Where have you been all these years? Have a talk with us…”
When Chu Qingyi heard this, she felt helpless. However, she still sat down and perfunctorily said some unimportant things.
During this period, she also beat around the bush and said that she wanted to find some people.
However, Patriarch Chu, the wily old fox, did not agree to it face to face. His attitude was ambiguous. He wouldn’t help until Chu Qing was married.
Chu Qingyi had no choice but to say a few words to the elders before returning to her residence.
She then told Zhang Han about the situation, which was as he had expected.
Patriarch Chu wouldn’t easily agree.
However, since Chu Qingyi had revealed her cultivation of the Void-refining Realm at the Early Stage, the Chu Family would also attach great importance to it. After Chu Qing got married, they might still be willing to help her.
However, accidents were always happening.
Young Master Dong was here.
It had been six days since Zhang Han and Chu Qingyi had arrived at the Chu Family’s place.
Young Master Dong was dressed in white. He descended from the sky at noon and landed directly in the courtyard like the arrival of Patriarch Chu.
“You’re back?” Young Master Dong was quite handsome. He had a high nose bridge and big eyes. At this time, he was looking at Chu Qingyi with a complicated expression.
Chu Qingyi glanced at him and said, “I didn’t expect you to have some informants in the Chu Family.”
Since he knew that she was here, it must have been some insider who told him.
“After learning that you died in the secret realm, I was extremely sad.” Young master Dong seemed to be infatuated with her.
However, she had no feelings for him.
Chu Qingyi shook her head slightly and said, “Young Master Dong, there’s no need to say all of this.”
“Haha, I like your aloof appearance.” Young master Dong laughed.
“You’re getting married to Chu Qing tomorrow. Don’t you think it’s a little inappropriate for you to come to my place today?” Chu Qingyi frowned slightly and looked at the sky.
“What’s wrong with it?” Young Master Dong laughed and said, “I’ve been flirted with by so many girls but never got close to any of them. I just wanted to get close to you, Chu Qingyi, but you didn’t give me a chance.”
Judging from Young Master Dong’s expression, he was not frivolous. Instead, he seemed a little carefree.
Swoosh!
A figure quickly flew over.
“Young Master Dong, why are you here?” It was a woman, Chu Qing’s younger sister. With a smile on her face, she said, “Our Eldest Lady is waiting for you to see her in the bedroom.”
“Okay.”
Young Master Dong nodded and left with the woman,
Chu Qingyi did not respond at all.
However, Zhang Han suddenly said, “This is not a simple man.”
“What?” Chu Qingyi was stunned for a moment.
Under her somewhat confused gaze, Zhang Han said softly, “He’s also a member of the Devil Shadow Clan. Judging from his aura, he awakened much earlier than you. This means that his strength is at least at the Void-refining Realm Middle-Stage.”
“What?!”
Chu Qingyi was a little taken aback.
She was not shocked by the strength of Young Master Dong, but by his status as a member of the Devil Shadow Clan.
A few seconds later, Chu Qingyi asked curiously, “Master, how could you tell?”
Zhang Han smiled without saying anything.
The Heaven-earth Formation in the yard was not just a decoration.
But Zhang Han felt that it was the Young Master Dong who deliberately leaked a trace of his aura.
“What’s the relationship between him and Chu Qingyi?
“It seems that tomorrow’s wedding banquet…” Zhang Han was lost in thought.
He felt that it was not as simple as it seemed.
But it was none of his business, and he didn’t care about what others were planning.
Young Master Dong came to the Chu Family one day earlier. His first stop was Chu Youyou’s house to meet Chu Qingyi. Was it a revival of old love?
This matter caused many of the Chu Family elders to be extremely displeased.
That night, the Chu Family’s place was decorated with lanterns and ribbons.
The joyful atmosphere began to spread.
Early the next morning.
The force that Young Master Dong belonged to was led by the Sect Leader, and more than a dozen core members had arrived.
The leader of the group was the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak.
He was as famous as the Chu Family’s Grand Master and had a prominent reputation.
Patriarch Chu was a little confused when he saw him.
Logically speaking, there was no need for the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak to personally attend this sort of occasion.
“Senior Aurepeak, please take a seat.”
Patriarch Chu, together with dozens of core characters, welcomed them with faces full of smiles.
“There’s no need for the courtesy, Patriarch Chu.”
Everyone began to chat here.
The wedding ceremony was also being prepared.
“Patriarch Chu.”
Young Master Dong’s father, Sect Leader of the Red Snow Mountain, said with a smile, “When we talked last time, we agreed not your daughter, Chu Qing, but your adopted daughter, Chu Qingyi to marry my son. It’s a good thing that our kids are getting married, and our two families can now bond. But I really liked Chu Qingyi from back then. I have a request. I wonder if you can consider it.”
Originally, he would need to wait for Patriarch Chu to ask what was his request.
However, the Sect Leader of the Red Snow Mountain simply said, “My son will marry Chu Qing. After they get married today, as a maid, Chu Qingyi will also marry him as a maid. My son loves her much, and this will make our two families closer. As for the betrothal gifts, I’ll give the amount ten times greater than before. What do you think?”
The plot was revealed in the end.
Patriarch Chu’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“So this is the reason why the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak has personally come over.
“He came here in person for the sake of Chu Qingyi?
“What’s so nice about her?”
Patriarch Chu didn’t quite understand since he valued boys more than girls.
But he had really considered this matter.
Patriarch Chu waved his hand and said, “Men, go and get Chu Qingyi over.”
