At this time, the senior officials of the Zhang family looked at the family head expectantly.
Wang Xing, the young master of Huntian Clan, has come to visit more than once or twice, and the senior officials of the Zhang family are also very aware of the love shown for Zhang Rou.
You must know the status of the Huntian Sect in Xia Jiutian. It is one of the strongest sects. Although the Zhang family is an alchemy family, in front of the Huntian Sect, it is actually nothing at all. Tianmen's Medicine House is even more powerful than them.
If they were not attached to the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley and had the status of the Great Elder of the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, the Huntian Sect would not even look at them, and they would never even have any interactions with them.
But this time, the great elder came in person with the betrothal gift, and even brought the sect master’s handwriting, which showed his sincerity.
For the senior leaders of the Zhang family, they can’t wait for the head of the family to agree immediately. In this way, the Zhang family will be dependent on the two major forces of Wanyao Valley and Huntianmen, and their status will naturally rise. What’s more, if Wang Xing really succeeds in the future, After becoming the head of the clan, the status of the Zhang family will be even more different.
They really couldn’t think of any reason for the family owner to refuse.
But now it seems to them that the head of the family has a somewhat hesitant expression and does not mean to agree readily.
Zhang Rou is the apple of his eye, and her talent in alchemy is also visible to the naked eye. She is also very obsessed with alchemy, and she is improving very quickly. Her future achievements will definitely not be low.
In addition, Zhang Rou has expressed her thoughts more than once, and what she wants from her partner is not the status of the other person. As a father, of course he knows it very well.
Because of this, he knew very well how resistant Zhang Rou would be if he agreed to the marriage here.
But as the head of the Zhang family, he also knows very well what this marriage means to the Zhang family. It is not just a matter of the Zhang family's status. Naturally, everyone will be happy if they agree, but if they refuse, it will be a disaster. I'm really offended.
Different from Wang Xing who came alone, this time the Great Elder of Huntian Clan came with the master’s handwriting and betrothal gift. He was very sincere and would announce it to the world later. If he refused, it would be tantamount to defeating the Hunchian Clan. Face, the consequences are not something they can bear. Even if the ancestor comes forward, the Zhang family may have to be controlled by others in the future, which is not a good thing for them.
With his daughter on one side and the Zhang family on the other, he couldn't make a choice for a while.
At this time, an elder on the side said, "This is a major matter after all, and it involves some interests of both of us. The Great Elder of the Huntian Clan still needs to give our family head some time to think about it carefully."
The great elder's expression did not change at all, and he said directly, "Yes, it's good to think clearly. But I still have to remind you that if I am still alive, we will not be considered a wife until your Zhang family agrees. Intimate, I don’t need to flatter you. I’ll give you ten minutes to think about how to provide another betrothal gift. My Huntian Sect has given enough sincerity, which is definitely something that other sects cannot offer. Also, what is the character of Xiaoxing’s child? You should know very well what your strength and qualifications are, and you don’t need me to go any further.Say more."
The great elder only gave them ten minutes to think about everything he said. This is simply condescending and arrogant.
But judging from his status, he There is really no need to take the Zhang family seriously.
Although there are some masters in the Zhang family, even monks in the Lichen Realm,
But their strength is comparable to that of the great elder. Bike is much weaker, and even if everyone takes action together, they may not be able to defeat him.
If the Zhang family agrees to the marriage and everything is easy to negotiate, he will look down on them. If the negotiation fails. Well, there is nothing to talk about, but at least it offends this big shot, and the consequences are unpredictable.
The elder who just persuaded him had a hint of displeasure in his eyes when he heard this, but he did not show it. , and then sent a message to the head of the family.
“Head of the house, why don’t you find a way to delay it for a day or two? ”
The head of the family is also in a bit of a dilemma at this time. Others don’t understand the temper of the great elder in front of him, but he understands it very well.
This is definitely a fierce man with super strength. And he speaks straightforwardly and acts the same way. If he is really offended here, it will be very troublesome later.
As for the method of delay, it may be useful for others, but it is of no use to the person in front of me. No, he only accepts the weak, not the hard.
In desperation, he can only give an explanation first.
"Since the elders have brought the master's handwriting, so too. The betrothal gift is sufficient and sincere. Of course I have no intention of refusing. Please also ask the great elder to go back and tell the leader that I will do my best to promote this marriage. "
Hearing this, the great elder of Huntianmen frowned directly, "Oh, you mean you are not sure yet, are you planning to let me take the betrothal gift back?"
< p> "Of course that's not what you mean. I will accept the betrothal gift first. If anything goes wrong in the future, my Zhang family is willing to return the dowry gift in double. "The great elder of Huntianmen was a little unhappy when he heard this.
"Do you know what the head said before I came?"
Although the head of the Zhang family disagreed Despite the huge pressure, he still had to smile and continued, "I don't know what the leader said."
"The woman his son likes must marry, no matter who she is. Do you think Huntianmen cares about your compensation for the betrothal gift?"
The face of the head of the Zhang family changed. It was a bit too much for the other party not to let them go. After all, he was also attached to the elixir of the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley. The ancestor of the Taoist family is the eldest elder of Wanyao Valley. He has a somewhat temperamental temper.
"My daughter can't be married off by anyone. She is the apple of my Zhang family's eye. From now on. She will also join the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley and become a disciple of our ancestor of the Zhang family, the Great Elder of the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley. Although my daughter’s status is not as good as that of Wang Xing, she is not without choice. Your Excellency, don’t be too strong. After all, this is the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley. The boundary of Yaogu is not Huntianmen. ”
The senior leaders of the Zhang family did not expect such a big reaction from the head of the family. Although most of them were looking forward to this marriage, when the head of the family said this, they felt relieved, which they had not thought of before.
The elder was also stunned. He did not expect that the head of the Zhang family, who was much younger than him, would have such backbone.
But when it comes to the Great Elder of Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, he is really a little afraid. The reason is very simple. Ten Thousand Medicine Valley does not belong to any force, but its status in Jiutian is frighteningly high. Various sects I also respect them very much.
Huntianmen may not care about the small Zhang family, but they still have to be polite to Wanyao Valley.
The Great Elder of Ten Thousand Medicine Valley is also a well-known person. He is almost the same generation as him and has a similar status. Although his level is not too high, he has a good talent in the alchemy path. Back then, He is also one of the main candidates for the successor of Wanyao Valley, but he is surpassed by the latecomer Ying Changsheng, but no matter what, he is not a person who is easy to bully. At least he used the coercion of Huntianmen to suppress him, and I am afraid it will not be of any use yet. , but will be counterattacked.
However, he did not express his thoughts, but said, "Very good. The head of the Zhang family really has some confidence. Since you are so insistent, I will give you some more time to think about it. Don't You're wasting my time too much. You all know what Xiaoxing is about that girl. I don't understand why you still have such an idea for such a win-win proposal that is beneficial to everyone, but you should consider it as soon as possible, because my patience is There is a limit, so we can't stay here forever."
After saying that, he did not stay in the living room and walked towards the door. He took a half step back and gave the Zhang family a step down. , which also eased the tense atmosphere in the living room a bit.
Subsequently, disputes began to arise among the senior officials. They were all considering this matter, but they still could not understand why the head of the family did not help them.
Not long after, a disciple ran in from outside the door and shouted, "Miss Zhang Rou is back."
This stopped the quarrel in the living room. , people showed joy one after another.
The head of the family said directly, "It's the right time to come back. Let her come here quickly."
Hearing this, the disciple continued, "The eldest lady also brought back a tall man. It seems that he is the one who came to our place to cause trouble a while ago."
Now everyone was a little surprised. Someone asked, "It's Qin Wuliang"
"Yes, it seems to be the one named Qin Wuliang often came to harass the eldest lady a long time ago.”
The head of the family frowned when he heard this.
"How did that kid Xiaorou end up getting together with Qin Wuliang? Is the news coming from the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley true?"
Several senior executives expressed doubts, and someone asked, " What news has come from the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley?"
"You may not have paid much attention to the situation over there. Most of the disciples we sent have returned. Judging from their words,Qin Wuliang's alchemy skills were very miraculous, far superior to those of monks of the same age. They were not on the same level at all and were incomparable. Even Xiaorou was no match for him. "
Hearing this, the higher-ups present all showed surprised expressions.
"How is it possible that Qin Wuliang knows how to refine medicine? Can't we still see what he is capable of? He is indeed He is a monk genius with good abilities, but you know the techniques of Jie Mai Sect very well, and the sequelae are there. It is strange that he does not always treat diseases. How can he have time to study alchemy?"
< p>Just when everyone was confused, Zhang Rou was already walking towards this side with Qin Wuliang. Qin Wuliang had obviously dressed up specially. Zhang Rou, who was tall and tall, looked very small in front of him. At this time, Zhang Rou was full of The smile on her face, without the cold expression before, showed how happy she was now.This also surprised the senior officials present.
The head of the family asked directly. "You are back. It seems that you have gained a lot. Otherwise, why would you be so happy as a father? Guess if the ancestor has already planned to accept you as a disciple?"
Zhang Rou shook her head simply. Of course not, I am stronger and stronger as a pharmacist. ”
The head of the family raised his eyebrows, “You’re not talking about the person behind you, right?”
Zhang Rou shook his head and denied his guess, which also made the senior officials present relax. Although I don’t know why they came back together, it’s fine as long as Qin Wuliang doesn’t have extraordinary alchemy, at least it’s not within Zhang Rou’s standards.
“Why are all the elders here today? What are you studying. Is it a big deal?" Zhang Rou asked.
Before the head of the family could speak, one of them said directly, "The elder of the Huntian Clan has come to propose marriage on behalf of the head. Xiaorou, what do you think about the child of Wang Xing, the young master of the Huntian Clan? How about it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Wuliang's expression changed.
"I don't agree"
