After going through untold hardships, he became an immortal and desperately sought the elixir of life, just wanting his loved ones to have immortality; but now, just a few health-preserving pills have made his father lose his composure like this.
Since she was a child, she always thought that Master Mo was very powerful and omnipotent. She took a quick look and saw clearly his cultivation level: he was in the late stage of foundation building.
In Daojian Sect, there were at least 800 cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, and none of them could withstand a casual blow from her sword, let alone a casual cultivator like Mo Lao.
So Li Shiyin began to doubt her life and started to rethink the meaning of spiritual practice.
For three or four days, she felt very depressed and only ate one large bowl of food each time.
At noon that day, she was meditating in the back garden, comprehending the "Mind Eye". The "Mind Eye" was more of a magical power than a pupil technique, which relied on the soul to practice and talent to comprehend... and she had not yet entered the door.
Just as I was thinking, a servant suddenly came here and said, "Miss, there are guests visiting our house. The general wants you to come over."
Guests? Li Shiyin was puzzled. She was just a woman, what kind of guests wanted her to accompany?
"Who is coming?" she asked the servant.
The servant remembered the general's instructions and said he didn't know.
Li Shiyin became even more confused.
It was not until she quickly walked to the reception hall of her house and looked inside that she understood.
The people who came to visit today were very formal. They formed a large team. Some were carrying gifts, some were doing etiquette, some were there to support the occasion. There were all kinds of people, and there were more than thirty people in total.
Finally, there were three people who entered the reception hall and were personally received by Li Zhan and his wife... At this time, there were five people sitting in the hall, divided into host and guest seats.
The three visitors were all men, two middle-aged men in their forties or fifties, one was elegant and graceful, the other had an air of a sage; and a fair-faced boy of seventeen or eighteen, with a handsome appearance and a shy look.
The elegant middle-aged man and the shy young man Li Shiyin knew each other. The former was the prime minister Cheng Lixue, and the latter was his son Cheng Nan. As for the middle-aged man with a celestial appearance, it was also possible to guess that he was either Chen Nan's master or Cheng Nan's protector.
Putting aside Cheng Lixue and his master, who is Cheng Nan?
This Cheng Nan is none other than the young master Cheng from the Cheng family in Danyang who is engaged to Li Shiyin.
Logically speaking, Cheng Lixue was the Prime Minister of Northern Chu, and Li Konghe was the General of Northern Chu. In order to avoid suspicion and maintain the stability of the court, it was impossible for these two families to marry. If these two families married, the Emperor of Northern Chu would be really worried.
However, this marriage has historical roots.
When Li Konghe married into the Cheng family's grandfather, he never thought that he could really make a name for himself with the late emperor, never thought that he could actually climb to a position like a general, and thirdly, he never thought that the son of the poor scholar he married into would climb to the position of the prime minister of the dynasty.
The agreement that was casually made between the brothers at that time was attached with a lot of strange values as their identities and status changed.
Originally, considering the stability of the government, Cheng Lixue and Li Zhan were prepared to tacitly forget about this marriage.
Who knew that at this time, there would be another problem. First, Cheng Nan had been bewitched by Li Shiyin and said that he would not marry anyone else in his life; second, they had joined the immortal sect and became powerful land immortals...
The marriage between two monks is completely different from the marriage between two children of aristocratic families. At least, monks are above the mundane world, and the factional struggles in the court are unlikely to affect them.
In other words, the Emperor of Northern Chu no longer has any control over the marriage of Cheng Nan and Li Shiyin. It is decided by themselves and their parents.
Therefore, the Cheng family's visit today was somewhere between formal and informal. It was neither a formal marriage proposal nor an ordinary visit. It was an informal meeting called "asking about the relationship."
The man came over and asked, is the so-called engagement still valid?
Li Shiyin appeared at the door, and everyone in the room saw her. Cheng Nan stood up eagerly, wanting to come over here, but it was difficult to come over because of the presence of the elders. For a moment, he didn't dare to go in, and he didn't dare to sit down, which looked a little funny.
"Come here and say hello to Uncle Cheng." Li Zhan and Li Shiyin said.
Cheng Lixue gently shouted at Cheng Nan: "Sit down!"
Li Shiyin came over to greet Cheng Lixue, then walked over to sit next to Yang Yanqi.
Cheng Nan sat down reluctantly, but his eyes were on Li Shiyin and he still looked silly and happy.
"Shiyin has been home for many days, why doesn't she come to see Uncle Cheng?" Cheng Lixue said with a smile.
Beichu is big, Danyang City is also big, but in fact, there are only a few people and families at the top. These families are quite familiar with each other.
"I've been staying at home with my mother these days. I plan to visit Uncle Cheng in two days." Li Shiyin said with a smile, "I didn't expect Uncle Cheng to visit me first."
Her decent answer caused Li Zhan and his wife to look at her sideways. Is this something that lawless wild girl could say?
"Hahaha..." Cheng Lixue also laughed when he heard that. According to the rules of Jianghu, the louder and longer the laugh, the more friendly it is. Cheng Lixue was very friendly today. He said, "I miss Xiao Shiyin so much!"
In this way, the people in the room exchanged pleasantries for a long time. Similarly, according to the rules of the martial arts world, the bigger the matter, the longer it takes to prepare. For a major event like this, involving national politics and two monks, it has to be delayed until the last minute.
So after noon, Li Zhan smiled and invited Cheng Lixue, saying, "It's getting late, Prime Minister, let's go somewhere else and have something to eat before we talk."
Cheng Lixue's expression froze, knowing that it was time. He smiled and responded, "Hey, how can I come to the general's house to eat for free?"
After a pause, he changed the subject and got down to business. "I came to visit General Li today because I have an important matter to confirm with him."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Zhan knew it well, but still asked.
"My father was once good friends with the general..." Cheng Lixue started from the beginning of the world, citing scriptures, and finally asked Li Zhan, "I wonder if the marriage between my son and your daughter still counts?" M..
Cheng Lixue had been busy for several days and talking nonsense for a whole morning, but in the end, all he wanted to ask was just this one question.
As soon as these words were spoken, the two drowsy young men in the room woke up instantly.
Cheng Nan was excited. Was he going to propose to the girl he had loved since childhood? Was he going to fulfill his promise and marry her?
Li Shiyin frowned and looked down in thought. That little follower with a runny nose who followed her around really wanted to marry her? How dare he!
Li Zhan glanced at Li Shiyin. His daughter had grown up and was a cultivator now, which made him hesitate. But in the end, he smiled and replied, "Of course I will..."
"No!" Li Shiyin suddenly interrupted Li Zhan.
To dare to interrupt him in such an occasion is indeed lawless! Li Zhan's eyes widened in anger, and he was about to yell...
Li Shiyin stood up, facing the three people of the Cheng family, and said in a deep voice: "I have someone else in my heart, and I can't marry Cheng Nan anymore. There is no need to talk about marriage. I, Li Shiyin, am sorry for this matter. I am willing to bear the consequences, please forgive me."
