After hearing Chen Haozhang's words, Murong squinted her eyes, and a trace of mockery flashed in her eyes, "I don't know what Mr. Chen means? Did I do anything bad to you? I actually let you use it. Let go of the word."
Chen Haozhang's words really made her feel funny. It can be said that at the beginning, if it wasn't for her shot, the three brothers and sisters Chen Xiangjie would have already died in the forest. Although it was said that it was because of Chen Haozhang that she entered the Shunli Chen family, it was also because Chen Haozhang wanted to use her.
Now this Chen Haozhang probably thought she had offended the Chen family, so he wanted to distance himself from her! In fact, from the beginning to the end, she never thought about dragging Chen Haozhang into the water, but that Chen Haozhang was really in a hurry!
"Miss Murong, you really didn't do anything bad to us." Chen Haozhang's face became a little stiff, "I can't speak, so please don't take offense to Miss Murong. However, Miss Murong, I also hope You can understand us, if this matter is really involved, I am afraid that in the future, our sideline will decline. I don't care, but my children are still very young, I always want to Think about them!"
"Mr. Chen's words are really touching!" Murong smiled coldly. "You said so much because you were worried that I would drag you into the water and affect your family, right?"
Murong's words made Chen Haozhang's face turn blue and white. That's right, he did have such an idea in his heart, and he didn't want to be implicated. He felt that it was understandable that he had such thoughts when disaster was imminent, wasn't he? He didn't think he was wrong at all. However, Murong Qingyan said such a thought so carelessly, he did feel a little embarrassed.
"Miss Murong, why do you say it so ugly?" Chen Haozhang's face was not very good-looking, "In the end, we just met by chance. Besides, you disguised yourself as a man and deceived Yaoyao's feelings. Didn't I also care about you?"
Hearing Chen Haozhang's shameless words, Murong Qingyan really didn't know whether she should laugh or be angry, she said with a cold face, "I have never deceived Miss Chen's feelings. I love you, Mr. Chen is well aware of it, doesn't he? There is no need to put these unwarranted things on me in order to distance himself from me. However, since Mr. Chen wants to distance himself from me, I don't have any opinion. After all, things like friends can be met but not sought."
Listening to Murong Qingyan's sarcastic words, Chen Haozhang's expression was also uncomfortable and beautiful. However, after getting a promise from Murong Qingyan, he felt that his goal had been achieved, so he didn't care about Murong Qingyan's attitude.
"Since Miss Murong said this, then I also believe that Miss Murong is a person. Presumably, Miss Murong is very clear about what to say and what not to say. I won't bother Miss Murong anymore."
"Master Chen walk slowly," Murong put on a smile with a meaningful smile, "However, here I also hope that Master Chen can remember what I said today. No matter what happens in the future, don't forget it. You said it yourself."
Chen Haozhang's expression was hesitant, and he walked away directly.
Murong Qing's expression remained unchanged, and she returned to Huangfu Jue's side, took Huangfu Jue's hand, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go!"
Looking at the back of Chen Haozhang leaving, Huangfu Jue's eyes flashed with darkness, "What is he coming to find you for?"
"What else can happen?" Murong sneered and said, "He was just worried that what I did would affect him. So he specifically asked me not to have anything to do with him."
"It's just a person who is greedy for life and fears death." Huangfu Jue said disdainfully, "You don't need to pay attention to such a person in the future."
"Don't worry, he won't have the face to come to me in the future!" Murong said with a smile, "There's no need to be angry for such a person, let's go!"
Soon, under the leadership of the people who came, Huangfu Jue and Murong Qingyan came to the main hall again. However, unlike the last time when there was only Chen Shanghua in the main hall, this time, there were three more elders in it. It can be said that the scene is very formal.
When ordinary people see such a situation, they will probably take it seriously even if they are not so nervous that they can't even speak. However, Huangfu Jue and Murong's faces were different. After seeing the people inside, the two of them still had a relaxed expression. Even after entering the door, they found a seat by themselves and sat down directly, without even looking at each other. Greetings like last time.
Such a move made the four people in the main hall stunned for a moment. None of them thought that these two people would ignore their existence so much.
"Murong Qingyan, is this your tutor?" Chen Shanghua said with a serious face, "With so many elders here, you didn't say hello or salute, just sat down like this."
In fact, he didn't want to talk like this either, but seeing Murong's gesture like this, he couldn't help but preach. If the younger generation of the Chen family made such a move, he would not preach, but directly punished.
"Tutoring?" Murong's face was full of sarcasm as if he had heard a joke, "You are talking about tutoring to someone who has no parenting since he was a child?"
After hearing Murong's words, Chen Shanghua's face flashed a heavy look, and there was grief and pity in his eyes. Not only him, but the faces of the other elders were all heavy.
Seeing such a scene, a strange look flashed in Murong's eyes, "Patriarch Chen, what happened back then? I hope you can tell me honestly, and also, how did my mother become like that?"
She could see that the people here did not have any feelings for her, perhaps to be precise, for her mother. So, she really wanted to know what happened back then.
"Alas, this matter is actually a long story." Chen Shanghua couldn't help but sighed and said, "Speaking of which, this is because our Chen family is sorry for you. If it weren't for us, it wouldn't have caused the current situation. The situation is over. Speaking of which, you should also call me grandfather, I am your mother's biological father."
As for Chen Shanghua's words, Murong shrugged her shoulders indisputably, and said casually, "I'm not here to recognize my relatives this time, I just want to find my mother and, of course, my father."
Hearing Murong Qingyan's cold words, Chen Shanghua was not angry either, after he sighed, he glanced at Huangfu Jue embarrassedly, "This matter is very hidden, even in the Chen family, there are not many people. know what happened back then."
Murong Qingyan naturally understood the meaning of Chen Shanghua's words, this is to ask Huangfu Jue to avoid it first, but she didn't think so, "What, you can say it straight, Jue is not an outsider, he is my future husband. "
"What? Future husband?" Chen Shanghua frowned after hearing Murong's words, "You are young, why do you need to decide on a marriage so early! You still have a chance in the future, you can choose slowly, no There needs to be such a hurry.”
I just saw my granddaughter, and I haven't had time to be happy yet, but now I actually tell him that this granddaughter has already settled down. This kind of news really made him feel very uncomfortable. However, he has no way to blame, after all, since childhood, he has not fulfilled any responsibility for this granddaughter.
Huangfu Jue gave Chen Shanghua a cold look, his eyes were indifferent.
Seeing Huangfu Jue's eyes like this, Chen Shanghua, who had seen all kinds of storms on weekdays, couldn't help but fight a cold war. He saw a murderous intent in the young man's eyes, and he felt that if it wasn't for Murong's face, he might be dead now.
Such a young man could actually make him feel the threat of death. It can be seen that the details of this young man are so unfathomable.
Feeling that the temperature in the main hall had dropped several degrees, Murong smiled with a smile on her face. She stretched out her hand, gently took Huangfu Jue's hand, and said with a smile, "This is my business, I have already decided. Besides, I I believe that Jue is the person I want to hold hands with for the rest of my life."
As soon as these words came out, Huangfu Jue's icy face, although it could not be said that the flowers were blooming in spring, was not as icy as before. The temperature in the main hall also rose several degrees.
However, after this, when Chen Shanghua and the three elders looked at Huangfu Jue, there was a sense of fear and reverence in their eyes. The strong are respected, this is the eternal law in the world of self-cultivation. It seems that the strength of this young man is no longer something they can guess at will.
After a long time, Chen Shanghua sighed and said again, "Since you said that, then I will not force it. In fact, when it comes to your parents, our Chen family also has a great responsibility. Back then, Your mother, my daughter, accidentally touched Shenhuo, and she was recognized by Shenhuo and became the saint of the Chen family."
"During this period of time, you lived in the Chen family, you should know that the saint's status in the Chen family is very high. Moreover, your mother is very talented in cultivation and alchemy. It can be said that , she is the treasure of our Chen family and the jewel in my palm. Moreover, she is a very kind person, so even if you are a saint, she has always been very kind to others. It can be said that in the Chen family There's not a single one who doesn't like her."
When speaking, Chen Shanghua's face was full of pride.
Murong's face could tell that the former Chen Shanghua was really proud of Chen Ruoshui. From this, it can be seen that Chen Shanghua really hurts his heart for this daughter.
Chen Shanghua's words continued, "Although I still have three sons, only this daughter is the person I love the most. Finally, Shui'er has reached the age of marriage. Although I am reluctant to give up, I still choose one for Shui'er. The most outstanding husband-in-law is the current head of the Si family."
"The Si family is slightly inferior to the Chen family. Moreover, the head of the Si family has a deep love for Shui'er, so when Shui'er is married, she will never suffer any grievances. However, at this time, Murong Xizhao appeared. Shui'er actually fell in love with Murong Xizhao, and even decided to break off the marriage with the Si family for the sake of Murong Xizhao."
When talking about this, Chen Shanghua's emotions seemed a little excited, "This is the first time that Shui'er has disobeyed my order so resolutely. She is resolutely unwilling to marry into the Si family, but to marry Murong Xizhao. For this matter. , our father and daughter had a complete falling out. In the end, Shui'er left the Chen family and left with Murong Xizhao."
After hearing Chen Shanghua's narration, Murong Qingyan sighed a little. She did not expect that so many things happened between her parents to be able to be together. Although Chen Shanghua mentioned these things in one stroke, she knew that things were not that simple. but-
"Actually, you also deliberately wanted to let go of your mother!" Murong's eyes flashed a clear light, "If you really want to break up your father and mother, you definitely have a way."
There is no doubt about this. Although my mother was a saint, my father and mother were not so powerful at that time. Therefore, if the people of the Chen family really wanted to break them up, it would be an easy task. Without the acquiescence of the Chen family, it would be almost impossible for them to leave.
Thinking of this, Murong Qingyan had a better impression of Chen Shanghua, the so-called grandfather, at least the other party was not so cold-blooded.
"Oh, in this world, how can a parent be more hostile to their children?" Chen Shanghua's mouth curled into a reluctant smile, "Although I am very dissatisfied with Murong Xizhao, Shui'er is too determined, and I too There is no way to change it. However, on the side of the Si family, I also have to have an explanation. Therefore, I can only expel the Chen family from the water. Er and Murong Xizhao left, have lived their days, don't be hampered by these things. If they continue to stay in the realm of the misty cloud, then Murong Xizhao will definitely be revenge by the head of the Si family. Later, after you After my mother left, I used the power of my family to erase all traces of Murong Xizhao, just hoping they could live their own lives."
Hearing Chen Shanghua's words, Murong couldn't help but admire. This is really a good father who silently did so many things behind his back for his daughter. However, there was one thing she still couldn't understand.
"Then what about the poison of Fuli grass in my body?" Murong Qingyan felt that she still needed to ask clearly about this matter, "Fuli grass is a unique medicinal herb of the Chen family. The poison of floating grass."
"What, you were poisoned by Fulicao?" Chen Shanghua looked surprised after hearing Murong's words, "But you—"
Murong Qingyan's cultivation base is very high, it is already in the late stage of distraction, and there is no imprint similar to a birthmark. This appearance, no matter how you look at it, does not seem to be poisoned by the floating grass.
"The poison has been solved." Murong said lightly, "It's the poison that was solved with the flowers of your Chen family's floating grass."
After hearing Murong's words, Chen Shanghua breathed a sigh of relief, but then, his brows furrowed again, "By the way, I have heard before that some people use spirit stones in exchange for floating grass, This news was released by you! However, this Fulicao is only available in the Chen family, it should be a member of the Chen family, use the Fulicao in exchange for the spirit stone!"
"Yeah." Murong nodded her head, but she didn't seem to say what that person planned, she continued to ask, "According to what you said, after my parents leave the realm of the vast cloud, there should be no problems. It's dangerous. But why did it end up like this? Also, where did my dad go?"
"Oh, this matter is all the fault of our Chen family." It was the first elder who spoke up, "If it wasn't because we found your mother back then, so many things wouldn't have happened."
At this time, guilt appeared on the faces of Chen Shanghua and the three elders.
"At that time, I was seriously injured because of an accident. At that time, the Chen family was also in turmoil." Chen Shanghua's face was full of pain, "My injury is too serious, and I want to refine a good medicinal pill to heal my injury. Then you must use Shenhuo. However, after your mother left, the Chen family has never seen a saint again. This is all my fault. If it wasn't for me, Shui'er would not be involved in this chaos again. in."
"No, this has nothing to do with the owner, I decided to call Shui'er back without authorization." The first elder shook his head and said, "After Shui'er found out, she and her husband-in-law soon returned to Chen's house. But in order to refine the elixir to cure the head of the family, in addition to the divine fire, there is another very important medicinal material, that is the rebirth flower."
"Rebirth flower?" After hearing the name, Murong's eyes flashed with surprise, "Isn't this rebirth flower extinct?"
She knew about this reborn flower, and it existed in the space, but it wasn't her transplanted into it, but the space itself existed. However, in this world, regenerated flowers are already an extinct spiritual plant.
"Yes, there are no more places in most places, but in one place, there must be." The elder continued, "That is the ancient city. There are many extinct spiritual plants in the ancient city. can be found there.”
"Ancient City?" Hearing the name, Murong Qingyan was at a loss, completely confused.
"You don't know, it's normal." After shaking his head with a smile, the elder continued, "Everyone said that the realm of the misty cloud is a good place, but in fact, in the realm of the misty cloud, there is a more The strong place is the ancient city, and the family there is the real big family. It is said that among the big families there, there will be one, or even a few powerhouses in the tribulation period. However, the people of the ancient city It is rare to come out, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter, so ordinary people do not know the existence of the ancient city. It is said that the ancient city is the place closest to the realm of the gods, and only there can they rise through calamity."
"Mother and father went to the ancient city to look for reborn flowers, right?" Murong frowned, "But why did they become like this?"
"We don't know the reason for this." Chen Shanghua shook his head and said, "I was seriously injured back then, and the Chen family had such a turmoil, and the elders couldn't get out of their bodies at all, so I went to find Reborn Flowers. Shui'er and Murong Xizhao volunteered to go."
"There was no danger in this matter. Because our Chen family had a woman from a sideline who was married to a child of a big family in the ancient city." The second elder replied, "At that time, we had already written a letter. I went to ask for help. That girl from the sideline has a very good relationship with Shui'er. So there shouldn't be any danger in asking Shui'er to find medicine."
"Didn't you say that people from the ancient city rarely come out?" Murong frowned, "How did that woman marry in?"
"This is also a coincidence," the first elder said. "It is said that when the children of the big family came out to practice, they saw the woman and were shocked. After returning, they immediately sent someone to propose marriage. However, after that woman married into the ancient city, she seldom had contact with the family."
"I see." After Murong nodded, she continued to ask, "Then what happened to my mother and father? How come one is seriously injured and the other is missing?"
"Hey, no one knows what happened here." The first elder said, "Later, Shui'er came back and brought reborn flowers, but she was the only one who came back. When she came back, She was covered with wounds, no matter what we asked, she didn't open her mouth, she just went straight to the place where Shenhuo was, and after using Shenhuo to refine the medicine pill, she fainted."
When it came to this, the atmosphere in the main hall was very low, and even a few drops of crystals appeared in the corners of Chen Shanghua and several elders' eyes.
After clearing up his mood, the first elder continued, "Shui'er's injury is too serious, and none of us can cure her. Later, in order to save Shui'er, we put Shui'er's body on the ground. On that ice crystal bed, Shui'er's injury can be kept in her injured condition and will not worsen. Over the years, we have been trying to save her. "
