A wedding ended unhappily, and Qi Yan slowly left under the complicated gaze of Lou Gu Xiu.

He no longer cared about Zhan Nishang's crying, he had said what he needed to say, and explained the things he wanted to clarify.

Like a puppy abandoned by someone, he left without taking anything with him.

That night, it was said that the leader and his wife did not consummate their marriage, but slept in separate rooms, which was no different from usual.

The righteous cultivators learned about the Demon Cult's leader's marriage three days later. When they learned that the leader's wife was Zhan Nishang, the daughter of the Zhan family, another bombardment was aimed at the Zhan family.

Zhan Nishang's awakened dual spiritual roots are a great thing for the righteous, but this sweet thing was given to the Demon Cult for nothing. Naturally, they directed their anger at the Zhan family, and the head of the Zhan family is now at a loss.

Zhan family.

"Daddy." Zhan Roudai came to the study with a bowl of soup. Seeing the Zhan family head's worried look, she couldn't help but soften her voice, "Drink some soup to moisten your throat, and don't worry about the nonsense outside."

"Alas! Roudai is still thinking about Daddy." The head of the Zhan family is completely relieved about this daughter, and thinking of Zhan Nishang who betrayed her family, his anger came up again, "Zhan Nishang, that rebellious girl!"

Zhan Roudai concealed the pride in her eyes, and said sympathetically: "Daddy, don't be angry, Sister Nishang has found the person she loves, but that person is the leader of the Demon Cult..."

"Forget it?" The head of the Zhan family glared, "Can it be resolved with just 'forget it'? You clearly know that the man is the leader of a cult, but you still insist on marrying him. Isn't this a slap in the face of our Zhan family!"

Zhan Roudai hurriedly poured a cup of tea and brought it to him, "Daddy,

don't be angry. It's your daughter who said the wrong thing." "Alas, this has nothing to do with you. I can't take it out on you."

With a caring daughter by his side, the head of the Zhan family's irritable mood improved a lot. Compared with the traitor Zhan Nishang, this daughter is much better...

The head of the Zhan family, who never thought that he was the one who forced the legitimate daughter out of the house, was thinking about the good of the concubine's daughter in his heart.

Zhan Roudai saw that the time was ripe, so she pretended to be casual and said softly: "Dad, now other noble families have some misunderstandings about our Zhan family. Isn't it time to form an alliance with the Qi family to strengthen our power?"

Upon hearing this, the head of the Zhan family raised his eyebrows, "Marry into the Qi family?"

"That's right. Among the noble families nowadays, only you and Uncle Qi can still speak with dignity, and the heads of the Cheng and Rong families are old friends of Uncle Qi since childhood. If we marry into the Qi family at this time, the Cheng and Rong families will definitely not dare to disobey you again, and those small noble families will not dare to say anything more."

"That's of course good. As for marrying into the Qi family..." The head of the Zhan family looked at Zhan Roudai's increasingly pink cheeks, and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, it's true that girls can't be kept when they grow up. It turns out that our Roudai has fallen in love with the boy from the Qi family." Zhan Roudai

said coquettishly: "Dad!"

"Okay, okay, Daddy won't say anything. In a few days, Daddy will go to the Qi family and have a good talk with old man Qi about this!"

Zhan Roudai bowed respectfully, "It's up to Daddy."

Under the shadow of her bowed head, was a face corroded by pride and greed. Looking deeper, there was a hint of the pleasure of conquest.

- Zhan Nishang, Zhan Nishang, the brother Qi Yan you always wanted to marry, doesn't belong to me after all!

Since that day, Qi Yan hasn't left the house for five days. Madam Qi was so anxious that even Qi Qianxing, who couldn't stand his son, was worried for several days.

"Master, our son Yan hasn't been out for a few days, and he doesn't eat much. If it goes on like this, won't he..."

Qi Qianxing hugged his crying wife and sighed deeply.

People outside said that Qi Yan was like this because Zhan Nishang, the eldest daughter of the Zhan family, got married.

Qi Qianxing was even more worried when he thought about how Qi Yan had stood up for Zhan Nishang before and always sided with her no matter what happened.

Could it be that he really became useless because his beloved girl got married?

He didn't know what was wrong with the Zhan family girl. There were so many good young men in the world, but she chose the leader of the evil cult.

"Don't cry." He comforted his old wife, "Wait for me to have a good talk with that boy!"

Qi Yan was really upset because of the wedding, but not because of Zhan Nishang.

Hiding at home was just waiting for the plot to be triggered again. He knew from the system that Lou Guxiu and Zhan Nishang had not consummated their marriage, so he knew that his words had played a certain role in the hearts of both of them, Lou Guxiu even more.

The next plot should be at the Demon Slaying Conference, where Lou Guxiu and Zhan Nishang descended from the sky. Although Zhan Nishang was still thinking about revenge for Qi Yan, her most urgent task was to watch the Zhan family fall.

She hated, hated the Zhan family for being ruthless, hated them for favoring concubines and abusing the legitimate wife, and hated them for bullying her.

In the original novel, it was at this Demon Slaying Conference that Zhan Nishang showed her skills, destroyed Zhan Roudai's spiritual roots, ruined her stepmother's appearance, and broke all the servants' legs... In the end, she fell off a cliff under Zhan Roudai's Yin knife, which triggered the subsequent plot of living in seclusion in the valley, practicing hard, and was determined to kill Lou Guxiu to avenge Qi Yan.

The so-called Demon-Slaying Conference is not a war, but a meeting of several major families going to the altar of Xingyun Peak to discuss recent major events.

Qi Yan couldn't say where an accident would happen, and the Qi family was not destroyed this time, so he didn't know how the meeting would proceed.

While Qi Qianxing was comforting his wife outside, the housekeeper came to report that the head of the Zhan family was waiting in the front hall.

Qi Qianxing was unhappy, firstly because of the previous behavior of the head of the Zhan family, and secondly, he really didn't have time to care about other things now.

However, he couldn't tear his face apart, so he went to the front hall to entertain the head of the Zhan family.

"Brother Qi, how are you?" The head of the Zhan family laughed, pretending to be intimate but didn't get a response from Qi Qianxing.

What are you laughing at? My whole family is immersed in grief, and you're laughing just because you came? !

Qi Qianxing snorted, "Master Zhan really has a lot of free time. It's been a long time since you came to my Qi family. Why did you suddenly come to visit?"

"Hey, don't we have something good to discuss?" Master Zhan sat in his seat, looking at Qi Qianxing in the main seat, and asked casually, "Does your Qi Yan have a girl he likes? Which family?"

Qi Qianxing paused with his hand holding the tea, raised his eyebrows and looked at him, with a hint of sarcasm in his words: "Why, Master Zhan has changed his career to become a matchmaker?"

"Hahaha, Brother Qi really doesn't know how to talk!" Master Zhan ignored him, and instead had a look of 'you got a great deal': "What do you think about a marriage between the Qi and Zhan families?"

"Marriage?" Qi Qianxing finally understood after hearing this.

It turned out that this cunning old man came to arrange a marriage. After thinking about it, the only one who met the age requirement was Zhan Roudai, the second lady of the Zhan family...

Thinking of Zhan Roudai's work style and the two ways he tried to please his wife, Qi Qianxing was annoyed. He was not good-looking, but he hated those intrigues and schemes.

Seeing the Zhan family head's face that "this will definitely work", Qi Qianxing was even more annoyed.

"Zhan family head, don't be too sure." Qi Qianxing took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Marry your concubine's daughter to my only legitimate son? How can this marriage be arranged?"

Zhan family head's face froze. He didn't expect Qi Qianxing to say it so bluntly.

"Then again, the daughter of the Zhan family just married the leader of the Demon Cult a few days ago, and now the head of the Zhan family is going to marry off his second daughter?"

"Brother Qi, what are you talking about!" The head of the Zhan family's tone became bad, "Zhan Nishang just has the same surname as my Zhan family, but she is no longer a member of my Zhan family. And Roudai has been my focus on training since she was a child. Everyone in the Zhan family knows that Roudai is just like a daughter of the Zhan family. How can she not be worthy of your Qi Yan?"

Qi Qianxing was not ready to fight a guerrilla war, and said directly: "There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. I'm sorry I can't agree to this marriage."

"You--!"

"I still have some family affairs to deal with, head of the Zhan family, please do as you please!"

After that, Qi Qianxing waved his sleeves and left.
