"Actually, my wife lives in another city, so it's not impossible for her to marry into my family!"

Jiang Yuan turned around and brushed his messy hair, which was burned by the flames, aside with his hand.

"Brother Jiang Yuan, didn't you just say you were taking your leave?" Zhu Penghai asked in surprise.

Qian Kai was also completely bewildered. He said, "This is marrying into the family!"

After saying that, Qian Kai glanced at Ning Yanlan. At this moment, he inexplicably admired Jiang Yuan. He dared to say he would marry into the family in front of his wife. That took courage!

"Ahem!" Jiang Yuan coughed twice. "Whether I marry into the family or not is not important. I just like the atmosphere of the Ji family!"

"Look at the Ji family head, what a reasonable family head he is! He is a blessing to the Ji family!"

Ning Yanlan nodded in agreement, "My brother and I, along with a child and two piglets, are exhausted. It's time to find a good place to settle down after a life of wandering!"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Sister, it's one thing for me to intrude, but what's with you bringing a child and two pigs? They're looking for a son-in-law to marry into the family, and I'm bringing my whole family here to marry into their family. Isn't that a bit much?

Ji Xing'an had been somewhat hopeful, but seeing the two of them like this made him a little suspicious. "The contrast between you two is so great, it makes me uneasy," he thought. But being an experienced man, he still said, "How about this, let's go inside and sit down to discuss things properly, and then we can talk about the details later!"

"Well then, everyone, how about we go in, have a seat, and have some tea? If it's a good fit, maybe we can marry into the family and save ourselves fifty years of hard work in the second half of our lives?" Jiang Yuan asked Zhu Penghai and the others.

The group was completely dumbfounded. You don't mean you want to work 50 years less in the second half of your life, you clearly want to live 50 years less in the second half of your life!

They couldn't imagine how Ning Yanlan would beat this guy when they got back that night, laughing and talking about marrying into his family in front of his wife—what a fearless, suicidal spirit he must have!

"Um, whatever, you guys!" Zhu Penghai said, almost in a daze.

"Butler, take all the distinguished guests to the lounge. I have some matters to discuss with this young hero!" Ji Xing'an waved his hand, his meaning clear: I only need to talk to you; there's no need for anyone else.

"No, I want to go too!" Ning Yanlan immediately said.

She definitely wouldn't agree to be sent away like that. That's the Divine Bloodstone. What if Jiang Yuan can't handle it by himself? She has to stay and help him.

The most speechless person was Ji Jinghui. He had clearly seen that the two of them were very close, not like siblings at all, but he still tolerated it because of the Ji family.

The Ji family's long-cherished wish has been to revive their ancient martial arts, and the catastrophe has given them the greatest opportunity. By sheer luck, he encountered a top-grade Divine Blood Stone in the mine, and the reappearance of the Azure Wood Classic is just around the corner.

Ji Xing'an frowned, glanced at the others, and then fixed his gaze on Ning Yanlan. "Then you can come along!"

"Be careful, if anything happens, fire a cannon into the sky!" Zhu Penghai whispered to the two of them.

"Uh!" Jiang Yuan was taken aback. Brother, could you speak louder? People can hear us!

“Xiao Xin, these are Peppa and George. Why don’t you take them with you to play with Uncle Zhu?” Ning Yanlan said to Xiao Xin.

"Peppa and George?" Xiao Xin's attention was immediately drawn to the two little ones.

"Peppa and George, you two must behave well!" Ning Yanlan stroked the heads of the two little pigs.

Jiang Yuan thought to himself, "Otherwise, I'll serve you roast suckling pig!"

"Gentlemen, please follow me!" Ji Xing'an said and walked inside.

Zhu Penghai and the others were arranged to visit other places, while Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan followed Ji Xing'an through many secret passages to a basement.

"What would you two like some drinks?" Ji Xing'an found a chair and sat down.

"No need, let's talk business!" Jiang Yuan waved his hand.

"Alright!" Ji Xing'an said with a faint smile. "Everyone else, please leave!"

“Grandpa, I’ll stay!” Ji Jinghui said immediately.

After a moment's thought, Ji Xing'an nodded in agreement.

As the rest of the Ji family left, the secret chamber door slammed shut. Ning Yanlan recognized the material of the door: it was a chromium alloy, and its 20-centimeter thickness was enough to drive anyone to despair. Even a force of over a hundred units of energy could not break through such a defense.

"Grandpa, those two are a couple!" Ji Jinghui shouted as soon as everyone left. "That kid didn't have good intentions after marrying into the family!"

"I know!"

Ji Xing'an nodded, but didn't pay attention to what Ji Jinghui said. Instead, he continued, "You two must have stayed because you heard about the Divine Blood Stone!"

Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan nodded noncommittally; there was no need to hide it, as it was very easy to see.

However, since the other party knows this, it means they don't care about their intentions.

"The reason you agreed to marry into my family was simply to prevent you from revealing the ancient martial arts of my Ji family. Not marrying into the family doesn't mean we can't do business!" Ji Xing'an smiled faintly.

“Old man, please speak your mind!” Jiang Yuan replied.

"I like confident young people!" Ji Xing'an looked at the two with admiration, then said, "You don't know the Ji family, do you?"

"I don't know!"

The two of them said in perfect unison that they could have vaguely guessed something from the information they had obtained from the Heavenly Eye, but Jiang Yuan knew that sometimes ignorance was a kind of wisdom.

"The Ji family inherited from Shennong and was once the strongest ancient martial arts family in China. However, the change of dynasties and internal strife caused the loss of the Ji family's most powerful inheritance, the Qingmu Canon. During the Qing Dynasty, the original Qingmu Canon was completely destroyed, leaving only rubbings. The Ji family, which was already suffering from a decline in talent, could no longer comprehend any of the Daoist principles related to the Qingmu Canon after losing the original."
