Chapter 4 This is a good thing

Jinghu Meng Mansion, study.

I have been practicing swordsmanship for a whole day. Although my spirit is high, my energy is exhausted and my body is tired, so I must rest. Meng Chuan also came to the study and started one of the things he must do every day - painting.

The paperweight is pressed against the paper, and there is also a beautiful palette beside it, and the various paints in it are also of the highest quality.

Meng Chuan is painting carefully.

Meng Chuan has loved painting since he was a child.

Maybe the mother is good at painting and teaches her son how to paint. This was one of his favorite things when he was young. A three- or four-year-old child painted for three or four hours in a row. He even forgot to eat. He was not tired at all. His body was covered with paint, and he was still smiling and happy. very. My mother said, "My son is extremely talented and will definitely become the best painter in the world. A painting is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

Being born in the Meng family, his parents doted on him, so he was carefree.

However, when I was six years old...

In that catastrophe, more than 100,000 people died, and my mother also died.

He escaped back to Dongning Mansion under the desperate protection of his parents. From then on, he practiced hard, but he still painted for an hour every day. When painting, he would forget the fatigue of practicing, and even feel Back when I was a child, my mother was guiding me to draw, and my mind was extremely peaceful.

Fifteen years old.

I have been painting for more than ten years and have worked with several painters. I have long been better than my master. His mother was right, his talent was indeed outstanding, at least it was higher than his talent for swordsmanship.

What’s the use?

No matter how powerful a painter is, can he kill monsters?

"Dong dong dong." There was a somewhat anxious knock on the door outside the study.

"Huh?"

Meng Chuan looked outside in confusion, "When I'm painting, no one usually comes to disturb me. What's going on?"

"Chuan'er, follow me to the ancestral home quickly." Meng Dajiang said.

"Okay."

Meng Chuan did not hesitate and immediately followed his father out, "Dad, why have you been going to the ancestral home so often in the past few days?"

"Nothing." Meng Dajiang didn't say much.

"What can I do if I go to the ancestral home now?" Meng Chuan asked again. As a junior, he only went to the ancestral home three or five times a year.

Meng Dajiang glanced at his son and said, "It's the engagement between you and Yun Qingping. The Yun family and the Meng family discussed and decided to dissolve the engagement."

"Cancel the engagement? Meng Chuan was surprised, "Dad, why did you suddenly break off the engagement?"

"Are you reluctant?" Meng Dajiang looked at his son.

"No." Meng Chuan shook his head, "Yun Qingping and I only see each other once in a few months, and we don't get along with each other, so it would be a good thing for me to break off the engagement."

This year New Year's Eve Meng Chuan, who is only fifteen years old, still doesn’t understand love.

To Yun Qingping, I feel likeShe is just a familiar little willful little sister, nothing more.

"Just think about it this way. The Yun family and my Meng family have agreed to terminate the engagement this time." Meng Dajiang said, "When you get to the ancestral home, just listen and don't talk. "

"Yes." Meng Chuan nodded.

......

The ancestral home of the Meng family is located in the west city of Dongning City. It occupies a large area and has more than two thousand people living in it. It runs along the central axis from south to north. All within one mile.

Of course, the foundation of the Meng family is in the countryside. Because of the threat of monsters, people in the countryside formed forts to protect themselves. There are thousands of people in each Wubao, and it is common for the same clan to gather in one Wubao. After thousands of years of reproduction, the Meng family has three large forts, which together can accommodate more than ten thousand people. In Dongning Mansion, there are many such large families.

The special thing about the Meng family is that there are gods and demons.

Naturally, he immediately became one of the five most powerful families of gods and demons in Dongning Mansion.

"Elder."

"Elder."

The ancestral house was in order, and some patrolling tribesmen were respectful when they saw Meng Dajiang and his son. Salute to Meng Dajiang and call him 'elder'.

Meng Dajiang, ranked among the top three in the Meng family, is still young and still has a glimmer of hope to become a god or demon. He is the next clan leader appointed by the family.

"Huh?"

Meng Chuan followed his father into the welcoming hall.

There were many people sitting on both sides of the hall, the Meng family on one side and the Yun family on the other, but the atmosphere was obviously not right. Meng Chuan could tell at a glance that most of his elders' faces were not good-looking.

"Brother Dajiang is here." Yun Fu'an stood up and said with a smile, "Bring the marriage certificate as well."

"Bring it." Meng Dajiang nodded slightly.

Yun Fu'an smiled and said: "The other elders have no objections to the dissolution of the engagement, and Brother Dajiang should have no objections either, right?"

Meng Dajiang stood there and said with a smile. : "If the two families are interested, it is a good thing to get married. Since there is no intention, it is better to terminate the engagement early. This is the marriage contract."

As he said this, he took out a marriage book from his arms and handed it to Yun Fu'an with both hands.

After Yun Fu'an took it, he unfolded it and took a closer look. He looked at the name's handwriting on it and nodded slightly. It was indeed the original marriage letter. The handwriting of the two ancestors cannot be imitated.

"Yun Fu'an, please tear up the marriage certificate right here." A bald and skinny old man from the Meng family said.

"Haha, are you worried that I will take it back and take it out at a critical moment in the future to force Meng Chuan to marry my daughter?" Yun Fu'an said with a smile, "Don't worry, I can't do such shameless things. Something happened!"

Said "Tear it up——" Yun Fu'an tore up the marriage certificate in his hand.

"I have torn up the marriage contract, and you can see it clearly. Don't worry now." Yun Fu'an smiled and glanced at the elders of the Meng family present, "Then I won't keep any more. "

He walked out.The other Yun family members followed behind him.

When he reached Meng Chuan, Yun Fu'an stopped and looked at Meng Chuan with a smile: "Nephew Meng Xian, you must remember clearly that from now on, you and my daughter Qing will be together." Ping has nothing to do with it anymore."

"Yes, there is no relationship with her anymore," Meng Chuan said.

Yun Fu'an nodded and led everyone to leave.

Meng Dajiang watched Yun Fu'an leave, frowning slightly, and calmly ordered: "Chuan'er, the engagement is cancelled, you should go back first. Dad has other things to do here."

"Yes." Meng Chuan glanced at the elders and left obediently.

Boom~~~

The palace door was closed, and the main hall was still bright under the light of a candle as thick as an arm.

"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!" The bald and skinny old man hit the ground with his cane angrily, and the sound of the hit was a bit harsh.

"On the surface, they say they are discussing with us, but in fact we have no choice at all. Do we have the shamelessness to marry?" A dark-skinned old man said with a sneer, "If you dare to go to Yun's house to make trouble, I'm afraid you will be betrayed by Yun. The ancestor of the family was slapped to death!"

"It's a good thing to break off the engagement. If we really use the engagement to force the two younger generations to get married, will it be useful? It will only make the Yun family want to get married. We can help each other, and there is no need to become enemies. In fact, for our Meng family, this engagement is just a small matter, and the injury of the third sister is a major event that shakes the foundation of our Meng family!" An elegant old man looked at the fat man at the top. The old man asked, "Clan leader, is it true that Third Sister's injury cannot be cured?"

The fat old man frowned and said: "In just these two days, Third Sister will return to Dongning. Let's talk about it then."< /p>

Meng Dajiang listened with his brows furrowed.

The pillar of the Meng family is crumbling, and all the elders of the Meng family are also worried.

The Meng family also kept the news secret, and only the elders knew it. After all, if word spreads, tens of thousands of people in the family will be in panic, and a lot of troubles will arise.

Now...

Most of the other top leaders of the four major gods and demon families also know the news, but there is no news, and they are afraid that there are really blind descendants who will anger the Meng family. After all, ‘Meng Xiangu’ is not dead yet! Even if Meng Xiangu is really dead, she still has some friends with gods and demons. But as long as it doesn't go too far, those gods and demon friends won't interfere.

After all, without the gods and demons, the Meng family would not be able to shoulder many important responsibilities. If you cannot shoulder the heavy responsibilities, you will naturally not be able to enjoy many powers.

Equal responsibility and authority.

In today's world, no one can escape responsibility, from the common people to the gods and demons.

As long as all mortals reach the marrow-cleansing realm, regardless of gender, they must serve in the military for five years at the age of twenty! Only half of them come back alive. But people still want to reach the marrow-cleansing state, because if they are too weak, they will not even be worthy of military service. According to court regulations, many professions are not allowed without military service. They can only hang out at the bottom and live the most miserable life.

And gods and demons are the backbone of mankind. Every god and demon spends his life fighting and protecting,Even if you return to your hometown to rest, you must guard your hometown city.

In this way, the gods and demons will be dazzling and noble, and his family will be glorious and prosperous. Since the gods and demons are dead and unable to hold important responsibilities, the family will naturally have to step down from its important position.

When Meng Chuan returned home, it was almost dark.

"Ah Chuan, sit down and eat together. I heard that you and Uncle Meng went to the ancestral home, and I thought you wouldn't come back for dinner today." Liu Qiyue was sitting there drinking porridge and eating noodles. , Meng Chuan also sat down opposite, and a maid brought up a bowl of porridge. Meng Chuan was drinking the porridge, but he was a little distracted.

"Why didn't you say a word when you came back? What happened?" Liu Qiyue asked.

"Oh."

Meng Chuan came to his senses and said casually, "The Yun family and my Meng family discussed it and decided to terminate my engagement with Yun Qingping."< /p>

"Cancel the engagement?" Liu Qiyue's eyes lit up.

"Well, just now, the marriage certificate was torn up on the spot." Meng Chuan nodded.

Liu Qiyue looked at Meng Chuan carefully and asked, "Why, are you sad about breaking off the engagement? Are you in a daze even after drinking porridge?"

"No." Meng Chuan shook his head. , "Yun Qingping and I don't get along, and it's not like you don't know it. She is happy to break off the engagement. I am also relaxed. This is a good thing for both her and me. This is a good thing. How can I be sad."

"Then why are you in a daze?" Liu Qiyue asked.

"I feel something is wrong." Meng Chuan frowned and said, "The engagement was made by the two ancestors themselves. Even if they come to cancel the engagement, the Yun family must at least send their 'three heroes of the Yun family' to come with them. . This is the most basic respect for our Meng family. But this time, Yun Fu'an, who is only the fifth and most useless, looks down on our Meng family."

"Secondly, in the main hall, the faces of the patriarch and the elders were ugly. But they held back from the beginning to the end. When did the patriarch and the others become so good-tempered?"

" Thirdly, Yun Fu'an is usually very courteous and very low-key in front of my father and the others, but today he is much more arrogant. Where does he have the confidence?"

"The important thing is to terminate the engagement? , there is always a reason behind it. What is the reason that caused the engagement between the two ancestors to be terminated?" Meng Chuan looked at Liu Qiyue, "I guess it was because of the Yun family. Big backer! Or it's because of my Meng family."

Liu Qiyue was a little shocked when he heard this: "Achuan, I didn't realize that you could think of so much?"

"It's just that. It's just a wild guess. Since dad didn't tell me, he certainly has his reasons." Meng Chuan smiled.

"A person whose engagement has been terminated can still laugh, so hurry up and eat your cake." Liu Qiyue smiled and urged.

"Eat the cake, eat the cake." Meng Chuan immediately took the dough and ate it.
