Chapter 187: Cancellation of Engagement
Zhong Ling'er took out a talisman from her bosom and slapped it on the table, "We want as many of these talismans as we can get."
Patriarch Gu and the others took a look and gasped, "Eighth-grade Divine Thunder Talisman!"
Many faces in the room turned very ugly. It was obvious that Zhong Ling'er was here to cause trouble. An eighth-grade divine thunder talisman required at least an eighth-grade talisman master to draw. Although the Gu family was a family of talisman practitioners, they only had one eighth-grade talisman master, the supreme elder.
Moreover, this eighth-grade divine thunder talisman is worth at least five hundred thousand spirit stones and is in short supply. The Gu family has it, so wouldn’t it be nice to keep it as a family heirloom? Why should they give it away?
"Well, let's not rush about this matter. Let's clarify the engagement first." The head of the Gu family decided to discuss the first issue. At least there is something to talk about. The Fu family has this kind of thing, but they are reluctant to give it to them.
Zhong Ling'er pointed at the divine thunder talisman with her hand and said, "That's fine too. I'll give you a price of one thousand eighth-grade divine thunder talismans and one hundred divine weapons. My second senior brother is worth this, right?"
The head of the Gu family didn't understand and looked confused, "What do you mean?"
Bai Luochen didn't understand what Junior Sister meant, but he felt that he was not worth that much. Which force in the world of immortal cultivation could produce a hundred magical weapons?
Zhong Linger blinked, "Dowry, didn't you ask my second senior brother to marry into the Gu family? My second senior brother is handsome and intelligent, but he wants to marry this crazy lady from your family. Shouldn't you ask for more betrothal gifts?"
Bai Luochen pulled Zhong Ling'er over and said, "Junior sister, it's not like that. This is a marriage between two families, not a live-in son-in-law."
Zhong Ling'er patted Bai Luochen's shoulder and said in a reproachful tone, "Second Senior Brother, people should be grateful. The Gu family is a first-rate family. They can provide the Bai family with a lot of resources, but the Bai family is a second-rate family. What can they do to the Gu family? It can only be you. The marriage is just talk. In reality, it is not giving you away. But don't forget that the sect has raised you for more than ten years. Is it too much to ask for a betrothal gift?"
Bai Luochen was stunned. Did the junior sister mean that not only did the Bai family use his marriage as a bargain, but the sect also wanted to get a share of the benefits? Didn't the junior sister feel sorry for him?
Gu Pianran was greatly irritated by the word "insane". She pointed at Bai Luochen's nose and said angrily, "You are a useless person with a damaged sword heart, yet you still treat yourself as a treasure. If your family hadn't taken the initiative to propose marriage, would you really think I was interested in you?"
Zhong Ling'er looked at her as if she were a pig. "It doesn't matter whether you like him or not. Your father likes him. My second senior brother's swordsmanship is useless, but his body is not. Marrying my second senior brother can improve your family's inferior genes."
Ye Qinglan interjected curiously, "Junior sister, what are genes?"
"This is another way of saying bloodline, which refers to something that parents can pass on to the next generation. For example, a beautiful person will give birth to a good-looking child, and a smart person will give birth to a smarter child. Second Senior Brother is good-looking, smart, and has a clear sword heart. Just imagine, what kind of talent and talent will the child born to him have!"
Ye Qinglan looked at Bai Luochen. Could it be that the marriage between the Gu family and the Bai family was for the sake of the second senior brother's bloodline?
Bai Luochen's face darkened immediately. The little junior sister was so young, and she was thinking about all kinds of nonsense all day. Where did she hear this? Fifth Junior Brother? I'll beat him up when I get back!
The face of the head of the Gu family turned green. The blood of his Gu family was so noble, and this was the first time he was slandered like this. If he endured it, how would he gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation in the future?
"Hmph, Bai Luochen, go back and tell your father that this marriage was proposed by your family, and that you are marrying up. My Miss Gu is not going to marry you. Since you know what is good for you, this marriage is off. But you humiliated my daughter, and your Bai family must give her an explanation."
"My second senior brother insulted your daughter. How dare you say such a distorted statement?"
Zhong Ling'er exclaimed, took out the telescope on her neck and shone it at Gu Pianran, then at Bai Luochen, and then at herself.
"Everyone, please judge for yourself. Who is humiliating whom, my second senior brother and Miss Gu? Compare their looks, their temperaments, and their cultivation. They are totally different. Oh, you can talk about their backgrounds. My second senior brother is a disciple of the Taiqiong Sect, the number one sect in Dongzhou. The Gu family can't claim to be the number one family in Zhongzhou!"
"Ah, you actually brought clairvoyance!"
"Zhong Ling'er, you are going too far!"
The Gu family father and daughter then realized that everything that had just happened had been seen by other people in the immortal cultivation world, and they were so angry that they wanted to kill someone.
Bai Luochen immediately grabbed the collar of his junior sister, left the word "goodbye", and ran away.
Ye Qinglan chased after the two of them and took the opportunity to answer questions from Palm World.
"Junior sister is still too young. She can't even tell the difference between marrying and getting married."
"What do you know? Junior Sister knows the difference very well. If Bai Luochen really gets married, will he be able to stand up straight in the future? I'm afraid he will be treated like a live-in son-in-law."
"Don't mention it. That Gu Pianran is really not worthy of Bai Luochen at all. It's a pity that Bai Luochen's sword heart is damaged, otherwise the Bai family would not have used him as an abandoned child for marriage."
"Why do the Bai family and the Gu family want to form an alliance? You can't really want to improve your bloodline?"
"This is indeed strange. Could it be that Bai Luochen's child might also have the Clear Sword Heart? In this case, the Gu family would have made a profit."
"If Bai Luochen's children also have a clear sword heart, even if there is only one out of ten children, I am willing to marry my sister to him."
"If you want to get married, then get married. Can you afford the betrothal gift that Junior Sister asked for?"
"Who can come up with this? Do you think Ouyang Ruochen can come up with it?"
"Haha, are you saying that what happened between these two brothers is true? Junior Sister is still a little young, I hope she is not mistaken."
Bai Luochen led the two of them and ran a long way before stopping. He breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly laughed.
"Why, you're so happy about calling off the engagement? You've caused a lot of trouble for the family."
Yu Chengpeng appeared in front of the three of them, looking at Zhong Ling'er with a serious look.
Zhong Ling'er immediately stood up straight with an innocent and well-behaved look on her face.
Bai Luochen pulled Zhong Ling'er to his side and chuckled, "Don't worry, Fourth Junior Brother. My father can just kick me out of the family. Since I left home 20 years ago, I have no intention of returning to the Bai family. This is just right now."
Only then did Yu Chengpeng feel relieved.
Ye Qinglan quietly approached Zhong Ling'er and pointed at the world on her palm for her to see. She saw a line of words on the screen, "Junior Sister, if your senior brother wants to marry your second senior brother, does he also need a thousand eighth-grade talismans and a hundred magic weapons?"
Zhong Linger's eyes lit up. It turned out that there were so many people who shared the same ideals. She immediately picked up the palm of her hand and typed in some text. "Of course not. How can the relationship between them be measured by material possessions?"
