Otherwise, he would be ashamed to stay with Xiao Qingran.
Not to mention Pingshuang, her cultivation level is only at the Qi Transformation level.
Upon hearing that Xiao Qingran’s cultivation level had reached the True Person Realm, she was so shocked that she began to doubt her life.
Fortunately, she had always been cheerful and didn't dwell on it. Instead, she secretly made up her mind to practice hard in the future and not embarrass Xiao Qingran.
After hearing Xiao Rongchen's explanation, the old lady looked surprised: "So, you and Ranran met because you are both practitioners?"
Xiao Rongchen smiled and nodded: "That's about it."
"So, Liusha, Pingshuang, and Xiaojiang are also practitioners?"
There was something wrong in the old lady's eyes.
"Yes, from what I've seen, this fellow Liusha has already reached the Qi Zong Jing, and his cultivation level is only two small steps behind mine. This fellow Jiang Daoist from Xuan Palace is only one small step behind me."
As for Ping Shuang, Xiao Rongchen kept silent. This was simply because within the major sects, there were so many people with cultivation levels like Ping Shuang that there was really no need to mention it.
However, when Xiao Rongchen talked about Liusha's cultivation, his eyes were burning, and he had the idea of taking Liusha back to the Soul-Devouring Sect.
"I really envy you guys. You're all cultivators. Once you break through to the True Person realm, you'll be able to regain your youth. And I..."
When the old lady said this, she suddenly became sad.
The joy in her heart originally made her anxious because of the cultivator's affairs.
"grandmother."
"Qingxue."
Xiao Qingran was worried that the old lady would get stuck in a rut, so she called her softly.
Xiao Rongchen realized he had said the wrong thing and felt anxious. "Qingxue, don't overthink it. I'm not talented enough. I haven't even reached the Grandmaster level at sixty, and there's no hope of ever reaching the True Person level. Not every cultivator is like Ranran. For cultivators like us, the sooner we break through, the more benefits we'll have in our future cultivation. But I've already missed the opportunity, so I can only stop here."
As mentioned above, practitioners who haven't reached the Grandmaster level are just like ordinary people, subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death. At most, they're only slightly better at fighting than ordinary people.
After Xiao Rongchen finished speaking, he saw the old lady's eyes widened with surprise: "So that's how it is."
Jiang Xin nodded, feeling something in his heart: "It is indeed as Sect Master Xiao said. Our cultivation path goes against the will of heaven. If we don't advance, we will retreat. If we can't retreat, we will be forgotten by the crowd."
The old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her face smiled more, inviting everyone to eat.
While they were eating, the old lady suddenly said to Xiao Qingran with a strange look in her eyes, "Ranran, you just came back, so you may not know yet. Tomorrow is the day Wei Zishu and Chu Yimeng are getting engaged. If you want to go, go with Jingyu."
Xiao Qingran raised her eyes in surprise: "Wei Zishu and Chu Yimeng are engaged?"
The Wei family and the Chu family are really...
How many times has Wei Zishu been engaged?
Is the Chu family willing to marry their daughter to a scum like Wei Zishu?
wrong.
Xiao Qingran suddenly remembered that Chu Yimeng was not a member of the Chu family at all, but a Sang person.
As far as she knew, Chu Yimeng was currently the ruler of the Sang Kingdom in the Imperial Capital. If she didn't want to marry Wei Zishu, she had plenty of ways to prevent the marriage from happening.
The fact is that until now, no one has stopped this.
This shows that Chu Yimeng did it voluntarily.
That only means that something happened to the Chu family.
The Chu family is no longer of any use to her.
"Grandma, is there something wrong with the Chu family?"
Could it be that Chu Dingxuan has passed away?
The old lady nodded. "Ranran's guess is correct. Ever since Xiao Luo left the Chu family, the Chu Group has been declining day by day. Not long after you left, over 80% of the Chu Group's shareholders sold all their shares to the Li family. Now the Chu Group no longer exists and has been renamed the Li Group. Old Master Chu became so angry that he fell ill and the hospital has issued several critical illness notices."
Speaking of this, the old lady was filled with emotion.
Xiao Qingran understood: "So, the Chu family needs the Wei family's connections. The Wei family needs an ally to fight against the Lu family's suppression. The two families were unable to get married because of Mo Yan. Now, for the common benefit, they have chosen a new person for the marriage."
"Yes, that's right. Ranran's analysis is good, seeing the essence through the surface. We have Xiao Luo to thank for the two families getting together!"
The old lady smiled with ill intent.
He almost said the words "you deserve it".
Xiao Qingran suddenly chuckled: "It's still uncertain whether this marriage will be successful or not!"
"How do you say that?"
Xiao Rongchen felt that his current life was exactly as he had imagined it: the family sitting together, gossiping and chatting, enjoying themselves. He didn't have to shoulder any responsibilities, and he didn't have to worry about the sect's collapse. This was what he wanted most.
Although he hasn't figured out the relationship between Xiao Qingran and Lu Qingxue's words, it doesn't affect his enjoyment of the show.
The old lady glared at Xiao Rongchen, who had suddenly spoken, with a strange look on her face. "You probably don't know the people Ranran and I were talking about. In fact, what Ranran just said reminded me. There's another person who's been thinking about Wei Zishu. I'm sure there will be some trouble at tomorrow's engagement party."
Xiao Qingran noticed that the old lady was calm when she mentioned Xiao Yuruo, and probably guessed that the old lady had let go of her.
After lunch, Xiao Qingran returned to her room and began to check the ninety-nine messages and a bunch of missed calls that had accumulated during the month she was away.
Ignore the unimportant ones first.
If you have an emergency, just call.
After being busy for more than two hours, Xiao Qingran just breathed a sigh of relief when his cell phone rang.
When Xiao Qingran saw that it was Director Guo calling, she initially didn't want to answer the call, so that the other party would mistakenly think she was away. But when she thought about the fact that Director Guo had called her more than ten times in a row, she finally clicked to answer the call.
"My dear Miss, you finally answered my call."
Xiao Qingran chuckled twice. "I asked Liusha to help me refuse to film another dating variety show, and I also asked Liusha to pay the penalty. I wonder what Director Guo wants to talk to me about this time?"
Before heading to the Ancient Martial Realm, Xiao Qingran had instructed Liusha to take care of this matter. She was worried that if she was away for too long, she might not be able to contact her during the filming of the romance variety show, and her whereabouts would be exposed. The Wei family would then follow the clues to the Ancient Martial Realm and take Wei Ziqing back.
She really didn't expect that Director Guo still thought about her.
"Oh my dear, my dear! Please don't terminate the contract, okay? I've told your assistant everything, but he won't listen, and I can't contact you. Can I say I was forced to terminate the contract with you? As long as you're willing to come to the dating show, I'll immediately transfer the termination compensation back to you. Your original salary will be voided. I'll sign you a separate contract with a salary of 80 million."
