Chapter 348 A perfect son-in-law?
On a bright autumn day, the morning light was dim and the distant sky was covered with white.
Ji You sat on a piece of blue stone on the cliff of Yunwu Mountain. He had quietly entered into a state of meditation, with his chest rising and falling slightly in line with the rhythm of his breathing.
At this time, the spiritual energy floating around the misty cliffs began to continuously sink into his body.
And with a slight movement of his spiritual thoughts, the vast spiritual sea suddenly ignited in his body, began to wander around his limbs, and constantly collided in his meridians.
After many days of recuperation, his body has almost recovered.
So Danyangzi suggested that he start breathing in spiritual energy and use the medicine to promote the recovery of the meridians.
At this moment, as the strong spiritual fire continued to surge in his body, flickering flames began to burst out from his body.
A powerful force surged out in an instant, condensing into a hot body and roaring out.
Amidst the majestic energy, the soil particles on the cliff began to vibrate continuously.
Breakthrough...
Ji You couldn't help but mutter to himself.
When he entered the ruins with the six major immortal sects, his body refining level had only reached the third level. According to his previous analysis, this physical realm should have about nine levels.
After returning from the ruins, he first fell into a coma, then recuperated, and only dared to use spiritual energy to ensure that it would not put pressure on his body.
But when he practiced body training again, he found that he seemed to have passed a major hurdle, which was the one he would encounter in the fifth level.
If we only go by the level of combat power, he should be almost close to the upper realm of boundless power now.
This kind of thing sounds unexpected, but it doesn't seem too surprising.
The battle in the altar almost cost him his life, and the Shocking Immortal Sword Formation had tempered him to a terrifying degree. It was not surprising that his body broke through the shackles under extreme conditions.
Almost enough to beat the tsundere.
Shouldn't she be asked to lie down on the ground, kneel down on the ground, bend her legs, and admit that she is a little water tiger? Shouldn't she be asked to admit that she is a little water tiger?
Ji You raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then slowly exhaled the foul air in his body, stood up from the bluestone, turned around and walked towards the pavilion behind him.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu were waiting for him in the pavilion at this time. After seeing him finish his body training, they stood up.
After Ji You's mobility recovered, he gradually no longer needed the two of them to stay close to him. Although the three of them often went out for a stroll and chat, it became a bit boring.
In conclusion, an awake son-in-law is not as fun as an unconscious one.
"Uncle."
"It's over, go back and have some rest."
Ji You took the handkerchief handed to him by Zhuo Wanqiu, wiped the sweat off his face, and sat on the wheelchair that Ding Yao was holding.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu pushed the car down the mountain. "Master Kuang came here early this morning. He has already written a plan for the distribution of grain and spiritual seedlings in Fengzhou. He asked when you will return to Fengzhou."
"After five days, Elder Danyangzi said I won't need to take medicine anymore after five days."
"Then I'll send someone to announce it after I get back."
The disaster is over, Tsundere is safe, and Ji You's injuries have almost recovered.
So he decided to go back to Fengzhou and continue along the path he had planned before, making money with the poor people.
It was true that the barbarian monster was still moving south, but he couldn't do anything by himself, so he might as well do something he could.
In fact, the situation is much better now than before. Ji You has no ambition. When he first came to Qingyun, he just wanted to join the private cultivation village and become a bandit.
As Ji You was thinking, he heard Ding Yao's voice beside his ears: "Sir, your senior sister came again this morning and brought a lot of medicine."
"Senior Sister He?"
"Yes, he has come here five times in the past three days. The head of the He family also came today. He is a bit too active."
After Ji You woke up, he couldn't stay in the room and often went out for a walk, so everyone in the courtyard knew about his awakening.
He Lingxiu did visit often and was very caring.
However, in Ji You's opinion, the reason why his senior sister, who had a broad mind, did this was mainly because after experiencing the great catastrophe of the human race, she suddenly came up with the idea of luring him to her own camp through marriage.
In fact, his idea was good, but the target was wrong.
This time, the relative He Lingxiu wanted to introduce to him was not the daughter of the Qiu family, but herself.
At the time of Si, the sun is warm.
In the third household in the first row of the inner courtyard's fairy residence, He Lingxiu sat upright in front of the tea table in the courtyard.
His father He Ye and several elders of the family were sitting opposite him, drinking tea and chatting.
Tianshu Academy has a new headmaster, which is a very important event for the aristocratic families that rely on Tianshu Academy. They naturally want to come and express their congratulations, and the He family is no exception.
At this time, the aroma of spiritual tea continued to float in the courtyard, mellow and fragrant.
"After the expedition, all the major families were severely damaged. Even two elders of my He family who were at the Divine Wandering Realm were killed in that battle. Someone with such outstanding combat power like Ji You must not be let go."
He Ye's voice rang out in the courtyard, causing everyone to fall silent, including He Lingxiu.
Because of her father's words, the scene of Chu Xian falling to the ground and Ji You standing upright with a sword appeared in her mind, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
When the Tiandao Conference ended that year, Ji You entered the holy land of the sages to practice but did not make any breakthroughs, which caused a lot of discussion among people all over the world.
But later, some people said that Elder Fang kept avoiding him, and the sword wound he had suffered in the Dongping Mountains might have been caused by him.
But rumors are just rumors, and not many people believe them.
Especially He Lingxiu, she had been in seclusion for the past year and was not very clear about these rumors. She always felt that Ji You had reached a bottleneck and would probably never be able to shine again.
It was not until this expedition that they truly saw Ji You's fighting power.
He killed the evil creatures in Yingtian Realm with his fists, blocked and killed the monsters in Shenyou Realm with his sword, and snatched the soul from Tiandao, and killed Chu Xian in the midst of evil spirit.
Everything that happened along the way makes people tremble in their hearts.
He Ye looked at his daughter at this time: "If Lingxiu becomes more active in Tianshuyuan in the future, I will definitely recruit him as a son-in-law."
He Long frowned upon hearing this: "He has a secret affair with the daughter of the Dan Sect, so he might not agree."
"Although Dan Zong is an immortal sect, it cannot practice immortal ways and can only close the mountain before major events. This is already very telling. Especially since Ji You's body refining technique does not require much in the way of elixirs. It is obvious that he is not a good match for him."
He Ye turned the teacup and said, "Especially the Dan Sect's closure of the mountain, which may be related to the six major immortal sects' visit to the ruins."
He Long was slightly startled: "There is such a thing?"
"The ruins have always been under the supervision of the six major immortal sects and have never been opened. However, they were opened when disaster struck. In my opinion, the six major immortal sects must have secretly become greedy. The alchemist was also involved in the disaster at Qiling. Don't you think the timing of the alchemy sect's closure of the mountain is too coincidental?"
"What the Patriarch is saying is that the six major immortal sects once forced the Dan Sect to lend their alchemists to help them find immortality, and the Dan Sect was afraid and had no choice but to close the mountain?"
He Ye nodded: "That's right, so although the Dan Sect seems glorious on the surface, it is still unable to enter the core of power. It won't be that attractive to Ji You."
He Long nodded after hearing this: "That's true."
"Aristocratic families marry each other to leverage their power. Marrying into our He family isn't a big loss for him. When Lingxiu gives birth to a child, the second child can take his surname. I can also turn a blind eye to the women around him."
He Ye picked up the teacup and said, "Danzong requires a marriage that is loyal to them, and they are very strict in controlling son-in-laws. I don't think they will offer such good conditions."
Hearing this, He Lingxiu couldn't help but frown slightly.
After being saved by Ji You during the expedition, she did develop feelings for this junior fellow apprentice.
Especially during the peaceful time after the disaster, every night, the figure holding the sword and guarding the front would sneak into her dreams with the wind, making her sweat profusely.
But there are some things that she cannot accept easily.
There was nothing wrong with giving birth to a child for Ji You and letting the second son take his surname, but she was very resistant to turning a blind eye and allowing him to have another fleeting romance.
The He family is one of the few thousand-year-old families left in Qingyun. They are also related by marriage to the master of Tianshu Academy and have a high status.
He Lingxiu herself is about to enter the Yingtian realm. It is not easy to find a woman with such cultivation in this world.
She had her own pride, and even though she had considered Chai Ze and Shi Junhao before, she had never thought of allowing them to take concubines.
"Spiritual?"
He Lingxiu's eyelashes trembled when she heard the call. She slowly came back to her senses and looked at her father: "I was just thinking about something. What do you want me to do?"
"What do you think of what your father just said?"
"The first part is acceptable, but asking me to turn a blind eye to the woman next to him is a bit difficult for my daughter."
He Ye patted her shoulder and said, "For thousands of years, the Qingyun family has always made marriages like this. This is not unheard of. I know this condition is a bit unfair to you, but as my eldest daughter, you should consider the family."
He Lingxiu thought for a while and then reluctantly nodded: "Let's do as father said first. We can discuss the rest after Junior Brother Ji marries into our family. How my husband controls me is still up to me."
"In that case, let's find a suitable time to formally entertain him. This will be done in my name."
"I will do whatever my father says."
After the negotiation, He Ye and He Long got up and left He Lingxiu's yard.
They are not disciples of Tianshu Academy. According to the rules of Tianshu Academy, no one is allowed to stay overnight in the academy unless they are invited guests.
This is especially true now that there are undercurrents in the Qingyun world and constant open and covert struggles.
He Lingxiu sent the two of them away from Tianshuyuan, and when returning to the mountain, she couldn't help but look in the direction of Jixiang Hall.
But as she watched, she was suddenly stunned.
Because on the mountain path covered with golden trees, she saw many senior and junior sisters with prominent family backgrounds in the courtyard walking back and forth on the path, and some of them obviously did not belong to the Auspicious Hall.
Among them was even Yu Shiliu, who had a good relationship with her.
At this time, Ji You had already returned to Jixiang Hall and was looking at a pile of visiting cards in front of him together with Cao Jinsong and others who came for a routine visit.
This was the same as when he first entered the inner courtyard and won the top spot in the Tiandao Conference, but the identity of the person sending the letter was completely different.
When he entered the inner courtyard, the posts he received were basically from centuries-old families, but this time, most of them were from millennia-old families.
"Things are really different now. Look, there's a handwritten letter from an elder of the Chen Immortal Clan."
Cao Jinsong picked up a copy and unfolded it with interest: "There's a great-granddaughter at home, she's eighteen years old, gentle and virtuous... What do you think?"
Ji You sat at the tea table and said, "I dare not look."
"?"
"My backyard has never been my place of decision."
After hearing this, Cao Jinsong nodded and expressed his deep agreement.
If it were in the past, Lao Cao would definitely advise him to get married quickly.
But when they knew that the one he had was the Little Master of Lingjian Mountain, they did not dare to speak carelessly.
If you want to enter the yard of a wicked disciple, it’s useless for him to agree. You have to get the consent of the most powerful one.
What's more, those thousand-year-old families boast of their strong backgrounds and all want to recruit him as a son-in-law. If the young master sees him, not only will he not be able to enter the courtyard, but he will probably have his legs broken and thrown into a ravine.
"Everyone in the world is driven by profit. After the crusade, Junior Brother Ji's true fighting power has been revealed, so naturally there will be a lot of people coming to visit. Even my family has received a post. It's completely random matchmaking."
Wen Zhengxin took out a visiting card with body temperature from his arms and handed it to Ji You calmly.
Ji You reached out to take it, thinking to himself, "Senior sister, stop pretending."
You and the Lu sisters had already arranged your numbers without my knowledge.
After reading the post from the Wen family, Ji You reached out and opened several other posts.
Although I said I didn't dare to look, curiosity was inevitable.
Among those who handed in the visiting cards this time, apart from the non-elder of the Chen family, the ones with the deepest backgrounds were the He family and the Yu family, a thousand-year-old family where Elder Yu of the Tianshu Academy came from.
Most of them hoped that Ji You would marry into their family and made many promises.
In fact, as an outsider, although Ji You lived in the current environment, he did not have a deep understanding of the importance of the alliance of aristocratic families. It was not until he received these visiting invitations that he began to feel it a little.
Practicing privately in the countryside, alone, no matter how powerful he is, in the eyes of some high-ranking immortal cultivation families, he can only marry into the family.
How can the combat power of an individual be compared with that of such a big family?
So even if they promised to change the second son's surname and not to investigate the relationship between the two sons, he would still marry into the family.
On the other hand, that tsundere guy of his, from the time they met until he called her "husband", never mentioned asking him to marry into the Lingjian Mountain family, nor did he say that if she was really pregnant, the surname must be Yan.
The same is true for Yuan Caiwei.
He gave his body away, but never mentioned this matter on Danshan.
Unconditional intimacy means being with you no matter what the future holds.
These are full of conditions, and you can tell that they are an exchange of interests just by listening to them.
"Your Highness, Prince Chong, how are you?"
"Is this Master Xu? I haven't seen you for a long time. Please come in quickly!"
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Chong. I have some things to do in Shengjing, so I will need to stay for a few days."
"Master Xu, you are too polite. Please stay here. If you need anything, you can tell my servants to do it."
"I just happen to have some visiting cards that I want to send to the Tianshu Academy. I hope Your Highness Prince Chong will take care of it."
In the following days, King Chong received many visitors from afar, including the Xu family from Yongzhou and the Jiang family from Yuzhou.
All these noble families were invited by King Chong to stay overnight in his mansion, and they also asked him to send visiting cards to Tianshuyuan.
At first, King Chong didn't know who these posts were for or why, until the servant who went to Tianshuyuan said that these posts were for Ji You.
Yes, Ji You often appeared in the mountains these days, and the news of his recovery was gradually known to some families who had close communication with Tianshuyuan.
This made many prominent families want to marry Ji You into their families, and even some of those who had grudges against him in the past and always called him a country bumpkin quietly lowered their stance.
He can kill the evil creatures in the Boundless Realm with his fists, and kill the monsters in the Divine Wandering Realm with his sword. Such combat power is enough to spend everything to recruit them.
What's even more terrifying is his ability to recover.
In more than three months, he went from being seriously injured and on the verge of death to recovering as normal. He is simply a monster.
After a catastrophe, these noble families all suffered heavy losses, with only one in ten ancestors in the Divine Wandering Realm left. They were also facing turmoil and strife that would determine the family's prosperity and decline over a hundred years. A being with immense combat power could decide many things.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ji You's joining may very likely determine how much of the cake these families get, as well as their rise and fall in the next hundred years.
"During the heavy snow of Xinyuan, I remember the Xu family came to Tianshuyuan to force the emperor to abdicate. Why did they bring their daughter with them now?"
"In this world of Qingyun, there is no real hatred. Everything is just about interests."
"What exactly did Ji You do during the campaign?"
"It is said that he killed three Yingtian and one Wujiang with his fists, and also defeated a Shenyou."
Be it the noble families from Beikaotian Academy or the noble families from other states, they all came with their young women and sent invitations to invite Ji You. Even a fool could figure out what they were doing.
So there was constant discussion and rumors in teahouses and taverns.
Some people even mentioned Princess Changle of Prince Chong's Mansion.
When Ji You defeated Chu He and entered the inner court, the Chong Palace changed its previous attitude, and Princess Changle quickly sent a letter wanting to get close to him, but was then rejected.
And now these women are more noble than each other, even better than the princesses of the secular dynasties.
However, after several days of commotion, no one saw Ji You show up for the banquet, and no family received any response.
"The uncle's aura is getting stronger and stronger."
"Well, it looks like he's almost recovered."
As the sky was filled with sunset glow, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu were still waiting in the pavilion, drinking tea and waiting.
Ji You sat on the cliff of the misty mountain as usual, filling his meridians through body training to speed up his body's recovery, while exploring higher thresholds until the spiritual fire burned throughout his body.
This was his last time taking the medicine. The soreness from the swelling in his meridians had obviously subsided, indicating that he had finally recovered.
After a long time, he withdrew his breath into his body, stood up and walked towards the pavilion.
"Remember to pack your things when you get home tonight. We're going to Fengzhou with Instructor Cao and the others tomorrow."
"In reply to my son-in-law, I have already started packing my luggage."
After hearing this, Ji You nodded and sat on the wheelchair.
You know what, once you get used to this thing, sometimes you really don’t want to throw it away.
"A lot of people have come today with invitations, including quite a few from Tianshu Academy." Ding Yao pushed him towards the Auspicious Hall as usual, speaking as she walked.
"Before you leave tomorrow, give those posts to the disciples of the Head Office and ask them to help return them."
"You won't leave any of them?"
After hearing this, Ji You glanced back and said, "How about you keep a few copies for me and give them to your master to read and ask for his opinion?"
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu exchanged glances and said, "Then Lingjian Mountain must be filled with jealousy."
The three of them chatted as they walked down the mountain, gradually arriving at the intersection of five peaks, which was near the Zizhu Zen Temple.
At this moment, Ji You felt a gaze on him, so he turned his head slightly.
At the edge of Zizhu Zen Temple, He Lingxiu, Yu Shiliu and others were drinking tea. When they saw him coming down the mountain, they turned around to look.
After staring at each other for a long time, Ji You nodded gently to the two of them politely, which made He Lingxiu and Yu Shiliu's eyes become very complicated.
The invitation had been delivered several days ago, and he had already known the content of the message. However, when they met in the courtyard these days, Ji You always seemed to have not seen it and never responded, leaving them feeling unresolved.
This is the flaw of going straight to the ball without testing.
In the past, they were quite comfortable meeting each other, but after the idea of marriage came up, things seemed to become a little strange.
Especially since Ji You never responded and continued to treat them politely, it made them feel depressed as if they were waiting to be chosen.
But this is not a big deal for Ji You. After all, he is going back to Fengzhou. As time goes by, this matter will naturally fade away.
Ji You withdrew his gaze and returned to Auspicious Palace under the encouragement of Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu. He packed some things he should take back and went to bed early.
"Sir, it's raining."
“As expected, when a dragon moves, there is rain; when a tiger moves, there is wind.”
In the early morning after a good night's sleep, Ji You dressed neatly and walked out of the back hall of the Auspicious Hall.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu were standing in front of the palace gate, watching the falling rain outside. When they heard footsteps, they turned their heads quietly: "Sir, are you sure you don't want to go to Lingjian Mountain first? Although Master Jian didn't say it, I guess she must miss you."
"I'll go after I finish my work in Fengzhou. The weather is humid right now, making it difficult to store food. Besides, a large area of fertile land has been destroyed after the zombie tide, so I expect there will be a lot of refugees."
The two girls nodded, then took out a small package and handed it to him: "This is the young master's original belongings."
When Ji You was unconscious, they were the ones who took care of him. His storage gourd, including the storage gourds he stole from others, were all kept by them.
After taking the package, Ji You put away the items inside, then picked up one of the dark rings, looked at it in the light for a while, and his eyes gradually became confused.
"What's this?"
"?"
Ding Yao leaned over to take a look: "I took it off when I was cleaning the young master. It's on my index finger. Isn't it the young master's?"
Ji You frowned slightly: "Why don't I remember having a ring like this?"
"The material looks good. Could it be someone else's lost item? This is the Auspicious Palace. Maybe it belongs to that Master You."
"Nice material? That should be mine."
"?"
If something good is in my hands, it must be mine.
Ji You didn't think too much about it. He held the ring and walked down the mountain. Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu followed him with umbrellas, walking down the mountain together.
Two large carriages were parked in front of the door, waiting in the rain.
Ji You lifted the door curtain and brought Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu into the carriage, only to see Cao Jinsong and others already sitting neatly in the carriage.
Crash——
Raindrops fell on the carport, gathered into streams, and continued to drip along the canopy.
Ji You stepped into the carriage and looked out of the half-open window at Tianshuyuan again.
After the disaster, many major events happened in Qingyun World.
Earth dragons were turning over and plague was rampant; these were what Ji You heard after he woke up.
Then the headmaster of Tianshu Academy ascended to heaven, and after his ascension, all the unrest seemed to subside.
Ji You vaguely felt that the world was not as simple as it seemed.
In particular, the old headmaster had once come to visit his old doctor, but he deliberately concealed his identity.
Coupled with the inheritance of the Night Watch and the story of the old man in the troupe about the Night Watch being killed by the Immortal Sect, everything made him feel full of doubts.
But the situation is complicated now, so we can only take it one step at a time.
Under the falling rain, the carriage started slowly, passing through the clear water and heading towards the north city gate.
He Lingxiu and Yu Shiliu standing on Mount Ni, the Xu and Jiang families in Prince Chong’s residence, and some spectators in the teahouse.
In the misty drizzle, countless eyes gradually withdrew as the carriage left the city.
"He returned to Fengzhou?"
"Um."
"What are you going to do?"
"Let's go farming. The Wuyou business in the city was just renovated a few days ago. It looks like they're planning to reopen."
Although Wuliu Commercial House was close to Chunhua Lane and was not destroyed when the demons from Linxianjing attacked the mountain, the gray tiles of the shop in front were still cracked by the flying broken bricks.
A few days ago, craftsmen came to repair it, and many people have seen it.
After the disaster, Ji You became famous, and countless noble families wanted him to be their son-in-law and sent him countless invitations.
As a result, just when he was about to achieve success, he left Tianshuyuan and returned to Fengzhou to farm.
Everyone couldn't help but think of Ji You before the Tiandaohui finals. At that time, everyone was preparing for the final battle, but he took the time to go home and harvest wheat.
When they thought of this, countless people fell silent, wondering why he was unwilling to choose even the daughters of these prominent families.
So who does he want to choose?
In the tea pavilion in the inner courtyard where the rain was falling, He Lingxiu turned around expressionlessly, used her spiritual energy to disperse the raindrops, and walked towards Zizai Peak.
She thought the conditions offered by the He family were very good and attractive enough, but she never expected that she didn't even get a single word of response.
Not responding means rejection, but it is very different from rejection.
Because if you refuse, you can still negotiate, but if you don't respond, there is no room for negotiation at all.
"Spiritual."
He Lingxiu looked up when he heard the voice and saw Zuoqiu Palace Master standing in front of the Zizai Palace gate, looking at him as he was climbing the mountain with calm eyes: "Uncle..."
"You are upset and starting to doubt yourself. Tell your uncle what happened?"
He Lingxiu's eyelashes trembled slightly after hearing this. "My family is interested in marrying Junior Brother Ji, so I wrote a letter and sent it, but I didn't get a response. I pride myself on being no less capable than others, but I can't understand why, and my heart is in a state of confusion."
Zuo Qiuyang stroked his long beard gently after hearing this and said, "You should have discussed this with me beforehand, and I wouldn't have let you act so rashly."
"Uncle, what you meant was that you knew he wouldn't respond and told me not to have any thoughts, but why?"
"He already has a big house, isn't it normal for him not to respond?"
"Are you talking about Yuan Caiwei from Danzong?"
"No, it's the young master from Lingjian Mountain."
"?"
He Lingxiu was stunned when she heard the voice. She was stunned for a long time before she raised her head and looked at her uncle in disbelief.
(The ending has been changed, please give me a monthly ticket)
