Although the Immortal Cultivator Guild still treats Ding Lei as the young guild master, in order to avoid suspicion, Ding Lei never participates in the affairs of the guild, let alone receives guests in the main hall of Junshan, so he directly brings Chu Jun to the small garden where he lives.
The four of them were seated separately as guest and host, and a servant served them spiritual tea and fruit snacks.
Mrs. Ding smiled and said: "Xiao Chu, please stay for a meal today, so you can have a drink with Brother Lei."
Before Chu Jun agreed, Ding Ding said first: "Okay, okay, I haven't eaten the pine nut mandarin fish made by my mother for a long time. This season, the mandarin fish is the most fat and delicious. I'll find Uncle Fu and Aunt Xiao right away." Go to Dingbo Lake to catch fish." After that, he ran out quickly.
"Linglong... ah... this girl!" Mrs. Ding laughed and shook her head: "Linglong has loved eating the pine nut mandarin fish I made the most since she was a child."
Chu Jun smiled and said: "Then my son-in-law is in a good mood today!"
Mrs. Ding stood up and said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, you talk to Brother Lei for a while, I will go to the kitchen to prepare it first!"
Ding Lei said cheerfully: "Xiao Chu, you don't know something. Ever since this girl Linglong ran away, Zhi'er rarely cooks. This is the first time she has cooked sweet-scented osmanthus fish with pine nuts in more than a year. I am just trying to cook." Your light!"
Mrs. Ding rolled her eyes at Ding Lei angrily and said angrily: "It sounds like someone is mistreating you. If you don't finish the food I cooked today, you won't even think about me cooking for you again in the future!" After that, she walked out.
Chu Jun couldn't help but secretly pray that the dishes cooked by his future mother-in-law would not be too unpalatable.
Ding Lei took out a small jade vase and two quaint jade cups from his storage belt. The styles were the same as those of the jade vase. Ding Lei opened the cork of the jade bottle and poured out two small glasses of yellow wine. Suddenly the whole room was filled with the intoxicating aroma of wine. Chu Jun couldn't help but feel refreshed and blurted out: "Good wine!"
Ding Lei smiled and said: "This wine is called Huanghua Wine, and it is more than ten thousand years old. It was obtained from a ruins with tens of thousands of years of history. Not long ago, someone put it up for auction, and just a small bottle was priced at one million spirit crystals. , this girl Linglong honors me, if I can’t bear to buy it myself, come and try how it tastes!”
Chu Jun hurriedly picked up the jade cup and took a sip. Lord Kaiou, who really lacked arty cells, closed his eyes and applauded, but he really couldn't taste the good thing. Fortunately, Ding Lei asked him to taste wine today. After two drinks, the conversation started. Ding Lei put down his wine glass and said softly: "Xiao Chu, thank you!"
Chu Jun was stunned and said: "Father-in-law, can you say this?"
"I have read the mother's notes that Linglong brought home, and I also understand the reason why my parents disappeared. I, Shen Lei, received the kindness of the Ding family in raising me, but I almost repaid the kindness with enmity. Fortunately, you stopped me back then, otherwise I would regret it too much!"
"This matter has passed. My father-in-law must mention it again. Besides, you didn't really do anything to harm the Ding family back then. Didn't Sister Qing still treat you as her own brother? This shows that she doesn't care at all, and When the Bahuang Army and the Lei Yu Army attacked Junshan, it was you who led the guild army through the danger. This can be regarded as a balance between merit and demerit!"
Ding Lei raised his glass and drank it down, nodded and said: "Okay, I won't mention those things, but I still have to thank you, Xiao Chu, for finding my mother's relics and remains at the underwater ruins!"
"We are all one family, just say thank you and then show up!" Chu Jun said.
Ding Lei laughed and said, "You're right, Linglong is already old. Her mother is always whispering in my ears, when did you two get married?" After saying that, he stared at Chu Jun with burning eyes.
Chu Jun's heart skipped a beat. This was the reason why his father-in-law brought him here today. He seemed to be more anxious than himself.
"It all depends on my father-in-law!" Chu Jun replied respectfully.
Ding Lei knew that Chu Jun had no father, no mother, and no other family members, but as a dignified realm king, naturally grooms were not allowed at the wedding, and his daughter was also the young lady of the Immortal Cultivation Guild after all, so he couldn't lose face, so he pretended to think: " In this case, I will personally go to Tianhuang Sect and discuss with your master Qu Zhengfeng face to face to pick an auspicious day to hold the wedding banquet. Xiao Chu, as the king of the realm, naturally everything must be done in a graceful manner. To avoid being laughed at!”
Chu Jun couldn't help but chuckle to himself. It seemed that his father-in-law had planned it for a long time. Even his fat master, who was always faceless, had also investigated clearly. He nodded and said, "Just follow what my father-in-law said!"
Ding Lei was greatly relieved when he heard this. With Chu Jun's current status, he is still so respectful. It's really nothing to say!
"Come on, Xiao Chu, have a drink!" Ding Lei happily clinked glasses with Chu Jun and downed the drink in one gulp. He felt very happy and finally settled something on his mind.
Chu Jun couldn't help but was speechless. This veteran was unkind. He was in a hurry to sell his daughter. After the sale was successful, he seemed to be even happier than the groom himself.
"Hey, what makes dad so happy? He's smiling like a flower. Did he find a beautiful woman?"
I saw Ding Ding Nannizi walking in carrying a lively mandarin fish. Seeing her father's face glowing red, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
Chu Jun almost spit out a mouthful of wine. He didn't pick up a beautiful woman, he gave her to her as a gift!
Ding Lei glared at his daughter with a dumbfounded look, and scolded with a smile: "That's nonsense, your mother is in the kitchen, send the fish over quickly!"
Ding Ding deliberately let the big fat fish throw Chu Jun a string of water drops, and then ran out with a smile!
Ding Lei shook his head helplessly and said mockingly: "I've been worried about this wild girl that she won't be able to marry in the future, but now someone finally wants her!"
Chu Jun almost fell down and said sarcastically: "My father-in-law, doesn't he look down upon my son-in-law?"
Ding Lei was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Why are you laughing? I want to listen too!" Ding Ding Nazi ran in quickly from outside and sat next to Ding Lei and said coquettishly.
Ding Lei said teasingly: "I'm talking about your marriage with Xiao Chu!"
Ding Ding's pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head shyly. Ding Lei couldn't help but tutted, "Dad, isn't it just that he is dazzled? Our Linglong is also shy."
Ding Ding covered his face and stood up and ran out, shouting: "I want my mother to cook, otherwise she will add too much spicy food!"
Ding Lei burst into laughter immediately, and Chu Jun couldn't help but laugh!
"Xiao Chu, are you in a hurry when you come out this time?" Ding Lei stopped smiling and asked seriously.
Chu Jun nodded and briefly told what happened. After listening to this, Ding Lei couldn't help but said solemnly: "In that case, I won't waste your time and leave now. I will explain to Linglong and her mother!"
Chu Jun shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, that person may have left Youlingzhou. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. It's just one meal away. It's rare for Ding Ding and his mother-in-law to show their sincerity. I dare not let it down!"
Ding Lei was naturally happy when he heard this, and drank a few more drinks with Chu Jun.
Chu Jun took out the time acceleration array disk from the space ring, handed it to Ding Lei and said: "Father-in-law, I will lend you this time acceleration array disk temporarily. I hope it will be helpful to your cultivation!"
Ding Lei couldn't help but said with emotion: "How can this be done!"
Chu Jun smiled and said: "Why not, just treat it as your son-in-law's filial piety to you!"
Back then, Chu Jun abolished Ding Lei's first level of cultivation and made him drop from the concentration stage to the refining stage. Now giving him time to accelerate the array can be regarded as a kind of compensation. Ding Lei naturally understood what Chu Jun meant. It's rare for a son-in-law to have such a heart, so he nodded and said: "Okay, then it's disrespectful. I'll accept it and return it when I regain my concentration!"
Ding Lei hesitated for a moment and then said: "Xiao Chu, actually I have something else I want to discuss with you, but it's hard to talk about it!"
Chu Jun said doubtfully: "But it doesn't matter!"
Ding Lei looked a little embarrassed and hesitantly said: "You know that I am not a descendant of the Ding family. That means that when the Ding family came to your sister Qing's generation, there was only one daughter left. It seems that your sister Qing never wants to get married in this life...!"
Chu Jun's heart skipped a beat. Old warrior, you wouldn't sell your younger sister after selling your biological daughter, right
Ding Lei paused and continued: "If your sister Qing refuses to get married, then the incense of the Ding family will be cut off. As for our Shen family, your mother-in-law and I can have another child, but the Ding family... So... let's see if we can In the future, one of the children born to you and Linglong will be adopted to continue the legacy of the Ding family!"
Chu Jun suddenly understood and nodded happily: "As long as Sister Qing has no objection, there will be no problem!"
Ding Lei couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He had planned to put in a lot of effort to do some ideological work for Chu Jun, but he didn't expect him to agree so readily. He suddenly felt like he was punching the whole thing in vain.
It’s no wonder that the people here are not as open minded as time travelers like Chu Jun. Adopting children and stepping in on the doorstep are major disrespect to the ancestors. You must think twice before doing it as a last resort. People like Chu Jun agree without even thinking. It's really a bit incredible.
"Did you really agree?" Ding Lei asked.
Chu Jun nodded!
"You don't mind if your children change their surnames?" Ding Lei confirmed again.
Chu Junqi said: "What do you have to mind? My own children, no matter what their surname is, are still my children!"
Ding Lei confirmed that Chu Jun was not pretending, then he clapped his hands and said, "That's it, I'll thank you for the Ding family!" He stood up and gave a solemn salute.
Chu Jun hurriedly stood up and returned the courtesy: "Father-in-law, please don't do this. Mr. Ding has always been very kind to me, and he has loved Ding Ding very much since he was a child. Not to mention inheriting a son for the Ding family, two or three are not here." That’s it!”
Ding Lei couldn't help but sigh with sincerity: "The magnanimity of a good son-in-law is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. Compared with you, I, Shen Lei, am really ashamed!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but sweat secretly and didn't even dare!
Not long after, a sumptuous dinner was served. Mrs. Ding's cooking skills were really impressive. Chu Jun almost swallowed his tongue and ate three large bowls of spiritual rice. Mrs. Ding smiled like a flower when she saw her son-in-law enjoying the meal. Only Ding Ding, a naughty fellow, was very dissatisfied with Chu Jun for snatching most of the pine nuts and mandarin fish.
After eating and drinking, Chu Jun and Ding Ding left Junshan and took the teleportation array in Tian'an City to Bahuang City.
