After hearing the words of the first elder, Chen Shanghua and the other two elders were stunned. After they reacted, they immediately began to check the cultivation level on Murong Qingyan's body at this time. After confirming that Murong Qingyan was already at the peak of the late integration period, they couldn't help but feel shocked.
"How is this possible?" The second elder rubbed his eyes, his eyes were full of disbelief, "Before, it was only a distraction period of cultivation."
Now Murong Qingyan has just passed through the calamity of the fusion period. Logically speaking, it should only be the cultivation level at the early stage of the fusion period. But now that Murong Qingyan was already in the late stage of the fusion stage, there was only one possibility. While in the secret realm, Murong Qingyan's cultivation had reached its peak from the late distraction period to the late integration period. In the secret realm, the catastrophe cannot come. Therefore, the first time Murong left the secret realm, the catastrophe came, and this kind of catastrophe was so much more powerful than the ordinary catastrophe in the integration period, which was also the reason.
The thoughts of the others are similar to those of the second elder. However, in this way, Murong's face in the secret realm must have been a fortuitous encounter, otherwise the cultivation base would not be able to improve so quickly.
"Anyway, you'll be fine now." Chen Shanghua took a step forward with a look of relief on his face, "Before everyone was forcibly sent out of the secret realm, but when I couldn't find you all the time, I was worried about whether you were What happened!"
"I'm fine," Murong smiled and shook his head, "However, in the secret realm, there are indeed a few minor problems. It's just that in the end it was a blessing in disguise."
"Fortunately, you're fine." Chen Shanghua's eyes flashed with sadness, "If something happens to you, I don't even know how to explain to your mother."
Speaking of Chen Ruoshui, a trace of pain flashed in Chen Shanghua's eyes. No matter how long it took, as long as Chen Ruoshui didn't wake up for a day, there was still no way for him to calm down.
Seeing Chen Shanghua's concerned appearance, Murong Qingyan knew that this grandfather's concern for her was genuine, even though it was because of her mother, who loved the house and Wu. But she was still moved.
After thinking about it, Murong turned her face and turned around. There was a ring in her hand. She held the ring, lifted it up, and then looked at Chen Shanghua and the three elders.
Chen Shanghua and the three elders didn't understand what Murong Qingyan's actions actually meant, but when they saw what Murong Qingyan was holding, their expressions suddenly changed, and then they immediately knelt down respectfully.
"I have seen my ancestor."
Seeing the actions of Chen Shanghua and the three elders, Murong Qingyan was not surprised at all. When Chen Tiankun handed the ring to her before, he had already said everything the ring represented.
"Grandfather, the three elders, get up first!" Murong said lightly.
"Qingyan, how did you get this ring?" Chen Shanghua looked at Murong Qingyan suspiciously, with a hint of inquiry in his tone, "Did you meet someone in this secret realm?"
In fact, what he wanted to ask even more was whether Murong Qingyan was inherited in this secret realm? Everyone knows that this secret realm is the work of the first patriarch of the Chen family, that is, Chen Tiankun, the ancestor of the Chen family. After completing this secret realm, the ancestor disappeared. For so many years, I have never heard of the ancestors. Everyone said that the ancestors have actually fallen, but they have always been alive without people and dead without corpses.
Unexpectedly, after Murong Qingyan came out of the secret realm today, not only did his cultivation greatly increase, but he also held a ring representing the identity of the ancestor. All of this has to make people think about it.
Chen Shanghua and the three elders all stared at Murong Qingyan, as if they were waiting for Murong Qingyan's answer.
"It's inconvenient to speak here." Murong Qingyan did not directly answer Chen Shanghua's question, but said lightly, "Let's go back and talk about it!"
After hearing Murong Qingyan's words, Chen Shanghua and the others did not open their mouths even though there were thousands of doubts in their hearts. After all, this is really not a good place to talk. Moreover, at this time, Murong's face was so embarrassed, he really needed a good grooming.
Soon, the group walked in the direction of the Chen family. Along the way, although Chen Shanghua and others hadn't determined anything yet, their attitude towards Murong's appearance was not the same as before.
If it was said before, when they faced Murong's face, they loved him like a younger generation. Then they have now put Murong's face on an equal, or even a higher position. Not only because of Murong Qingyan's cultivation at this time, but also because Murong Qingyan still has the old ancestor's ring on his hand.
After returning to Chen's house, Murong Qingyan went back to Qiwuyuan to freshen up.
As for Chen Shanghua and others, they were not in the mood to take a break. They all came to the front hall, waiting for the arrival of Murong Qingyan. At this time, there were too many questions in their minds.
After Murong Qingyan returned to her yard, she freshened up and put on new clothes. The whole person seemed to be more energetic, and there was no embarrassment at all.
Huangfu Jue stretched out his hand and hugged Murong Qingyan directly into his arms, and then said, "You have lost weight."
"No!" After hearing Huangfu Jue's words, Murong smiled lightly, "Although I'm in a secret realm, I'm not someone who would treat me badly."
"You are very happy to have the inheritance of the Chen family!" Huangfu Jue looked at the person in his arms and said, "However, you must have encountered a lot of danger!"
Although Murong Qingyan didn't say anything, he could still feel the danger of Murong Qingyan this time.
"Yeah." Murong nodded with a smile, and a faint light flashed in his eyes, "This time, the experience is really not peaceful. I was able to get the inheritance, but it was a coincidence. Speaking of which, I have to thank Chen Liuli. !"
"Chen Liuli?" Huangfu Jue would never take women other than Murong Qingyan to heart. Therefore, he didn't remember who Chen Liuli was at all.
"It's the woman who almost became a saint." Murong sneered at the corner of his mouth, "It's just that I never thought that she would attribute all her disappointments to me."
Speaking of which, she also felt that she was really innocent. The intersection between her and Chen Liuli is not too much, but Chen Liuli attributed everything to her. This time in the secret realm, she actually set such a trap for her. Although she got a blessing in disguise, it didn't mean that she would let this time thing be written off.
"What did she do?" In just a few words, Huangfu Jue guessed the mystery.
"She!" A cold light flashed in Murong's eyes, "She set a trap for me and wanted to kill me."
After hearing Murong Qingyan's words, Huangfu Jue's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the strength in his hands could not help but increase.
"Je, you hurt me." Feeling the pain in the shoulder, Murong couldn't help but exclaimed softly.
After hearing Murong Qingyan's scream, Huangfu Jue immediately relaxed his movements, "I didn't pay attention, are you alright!"
As long as he heard that someone was unfavorable to Murong, he could not control his emotions. Especially this time, the other party actually wanted to kill Murong Qingyan, which was already a taboo against him.
"I'm fine." Murong made a pun, "Since the matter has passed, don't think too much about it. Also, I have no intention of letting go of those who want me to die. Since they dare to do it Such a thing has to bear the consequences.”
Whether it was Chen Liuli, or brothers Chen Xiangjie and Chen Xiangxiang, she didn't plan to let it go.
"Well." Huangfu Jue nodded, "You decide."
No matter what Murong Qingyan plans to do, he will escort her. Those who secretly plot, he will not let go.
"Okay, let's go to the front hall first!" Murong Qingyan took Huangfu Jue's hand and said, "Grandfather and the others are already waiting for us there."
Huangfu Jue did not resist at all, and let Murong hold her hand with her face, and the two walked towards the front hall together.
Before stepping into the front hall, Murong Qingyan already saw the situation in the front hall. Chen Shanghua and the three elders all sat there with anxiety on their faces.
"Qingyan, you are here." Seeing Murong Qingyan's appearance, Chen Shanghua stood up at once.
Murong nodded and nodded, then pulled Huangfu Jue and took a seat on the seat below.
"Qingyan, what's going on here?" Chen Shanghua couldn't hold back his doubts any longer, and asked, "What exactly did you encounter in the secret realm?"
The eyes of Chen Shanghua and the three elders were all fixed on Murong Qingyan. Obviously, their hearts were also full of curiosity. Although everyone has guessed in their hearts, they have never been sure.
"As you guessed." Murong said lightly, "I met Chen Tiankun, the ancestor of the Chen family in the secret realm. This ring was also given to me by him, saying that it could represent her. identity of."
After getting Murong Qingyan's answer, Chen Shanghua and several elders looked at each other involuntarily, and finally the representative of Chen Shanghua said, "Qingyan, you mean, you met the ancestor, what about him now? Why didn't he come back with you?"
None of them could have imagined that the ancestors of the Chen family had always stayed in the secret realm. Now suddenly hearing such news, everyone feels a little unbelievable.
"Maybe I'm wrong." Murong Qingyan also found that her words seemed to be misunderstood, she said, "I didn't meet the old ancestor himself, but a remnant of his soul. It has fallen before."
After hearing Murong's words, Chen Shanghua and the three elders showed a trace of sadness on their faces. I originally thought that there was news from the ancestors, but I didn't expect it to be bad news. However, for the fact that the ancestors have fallen, everyone has already guessed in their hearts, so it is not too rude.
After a pause, Murong Qingyan continued, "I have already obtained the inheritance in the secret realm, and at the same time, I have also agreed to the two conditions of the ancestor."
As for Murong Qingyan's inheritance, in fact, everyone already had guesses in their hearts, so after hearing Murong Qingyan's words, everyone was not surprised. However, what everyone is more puzzled is, what are the two conditions
"I didn't expect that for so many years, no one could get the inheritance, and finally you got it. It really is life!" Chen Shanghua couldn't help but sigh, and then continued to ask, "The two conditions you mentioned, What happened again?"
Murong Qingyan didn't hide anything, and directly told the transaction between herself and Chen Tiankun, "I got the inheritance, and at the same time promised that he would bless the Chen family, but I left this world."
After hearing Murong's words, Chen Shanghua and the three elders were stunned. They didn't expect that the ancestor would reach such a deal with Murong Qingyan. How much does the ancestor look down on Murong's face! Although they couldn't deny that Murong's face was really outstanding. But she is too young.
Because the excitement was too great, everyone ignored Emurong's last words.
"Qingyan, then you—" Chen Shanghua showed a hint of embarrassment on his face. He wanted to ask Murong Qingyan what she thought, but he just didn't know where to start.
"Grandfather, don't worry, since I agreed, I will keep my promise. As long as the Chen family doesn't touch my bottom line, then I will protect the Chen family." Murong said lightly, "Besides, there are another thing."
The first shock, before everyone could digest it, heard what Murong Qingyan said next, everyone packed up and waited for Murong Qingyan to continue.
"It's up to me to decide the heir of the Chen family." Murong Qingyan didn't beat around the bush, she said it directly.
It's just that her words were like a bomb that caught everyone off guard. If it was Murong's face before, everyone was just shocked. The current condition is to shock everyone. No one could have imagined that the ancestor would actually give such a decision to Murong Qingyan.
How could the ancestor trust Murong Qingyan so much? In doing so, the future of the Chen family has almost been handed over to Murong Qingyan. Especially the matter of the heir, you must know that the heir represents the future of the entire family. Choosing an heir is an issue that requires prudence and prudence. Now the ancestor actually handed over the decision of this matter to Murong Qingyan.
"If you object, I have no opinion." Murong shrugged and said, "Since I have the inheritance of my ancestors, I naturally have to do what I should do. However, after all, this is not me. Human affairs, if you object, I have nothing to say."
Chen Tiankun gave her a ring, saying that as long as the ring existed, the Chen family would obey her. But if the people of the Chen family are unwilling, she can't force them to accept it. After all, the matter of this heir cannot be sloppy.
Moreover, if the Chen family insisted on opposing it, it was not a promise she broke.
After Chen Shanghua and several elders glanced at each other, they finally made a decision, "Qianyan, since the old ancestor's ring is already in your hands, then you have the right to choose the successor on behalf of the old ancestor, we will not have any objection."
The three elders did not express any opinions, but, obviously, they also agreed with Chen Shanghua's decision.
After hearing the decision made by Chen Shanghua, Murong nodded and said, "Actually, don't worry, I only promised these two things. I will not know about other things within the Chen family. You don't have to worry about interfering."
Although she got Chen Tiankun's inheritance and ring, she never thought of pointing fingers at the Chen family. Nothing in the Chen family will change, and she will not interfere in anything.
With Murong Qingyan's remarks, Chen Shanghua and the three elders didn't know whether they should be happy or unhappy? Murong Qingyan got the inheritance and ring of the ancestors. If she really wants to interfere in the Chen family's affairs, they have no way to stop it. But her age is too young, if they really intervene, they will become very passive.
But now, they also felt uncomfortable when they heard that Murong Qingyan seemed to want to draw a clear line with the Chen family. Because this shows that Murong Qingyan does not have much sense of belonging to the Chen family.
"Qingyan, although your surname is not Chen, you are also part of the Chen family." Chen Shanghua said helplessly, "But don't worry, I will not force you to do anything."
For his daughter, his heart was full of guilt. So, now, he just wants to make up all this to this granddaughter.
Hearing Chen Tiankun's words, Murong Qingyan didn't make a statement. She seemed to remember another thing, and then immediately said, "By the way, there is one more thing, it is about the secret realm. The inheritance of the secret realm has been passed down. I got it, so now the aura in the secret realm has been almost consumed."
"This kind of thing is also expected by us." The elder did not have any surprises. "This secret realm was originally transformed by the ancestor's lifelong cultivation. Now that you have inherited it, the secret realm is naturally abolished."
Although it is clear in our hearts, we still feel very sad in our hearts. After all, the secret realm is a good place to practice, and it is also the best place to practice for the disciples of the Chen family.
However, now that Murong Qingyan has been inherited, the secret realm is naturally a waste. The monsters and spiritual plants in there, without the support of spiritual energy, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive for long.
"Actually, there is no need for you to be so discouraged." Murong shrugged and said with a smile, "Although I have obtained the inheritance, the spiritual energy in the secret realm has not been exhausted. However, in the future four or five During the year, don’t let people go in to practice. Let the spiritual energy inside have time to repair.”
"Really?" Chen Shanghua was very excited after hearing the words of Murong's face, "Can the secret realm really continue to be used?"
Murong Qingyan nodded and affirmed the answer, she continued, "However, the spiritual energy in this secret realm can only last for about a thousand years at most, so the most important thing is to make the Chen family become as soon as possible. Get stronger."
After hearing what Murong said, Chen Shanghua and the three elders breathed a sigh of relief. Although there is a time limit, it can still be used after all, which is the best result.
After the business was finished, Murong Qingyan suddenly asked, "Grandfather, those collateral people who left the secret realm, have they left the family now?"
"Not yet." Chen Shanghua replied subconsciously, but he was a little strange, "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"
Because he hadn't figured out what happened in the secret realm, he never let his collateral people leave first. Because if something really happened, it would be easier to track it down.
"Hehe, speaking of which, I really want to thank Chen Liuli and two collateral people for being able to inherit this time." Murong's face twitched into a sarcastic smile, "However, although their last In the end, they helped me, but their original purpose was to want me to die. So, I had no choice but to just let it go."
The expressions of Chen Shanghua and the three elders changed drastically. Murong Qingyan has been inherited, and their hearts are naturally happy. But now it seems that there are other secrets in it.
"What's going on?" Chen Shanghua had a dark face.
Murong Qingyan didn't hide anything, and directly told the story that the brothers Chen Liuli and Chen Xiangjie set a trap to kill her.
"No reason." The elder slapped the table hard, "I didn't expect Chen Liuli to be like this now, it's really disappointing. I thought she would grow up after going through so many things, but I didn't expect her to grow up. , she has become so vicious."
"Qingyan, what are you going to do now?" Chen Shanghua said gloomily.
"Excuse my grandfather to let the brothers go to arrest Chen Xiangjie and Chen Xiangxiang first, I don't want them to have a chance to escape." A faint light flashed in Murong's eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "As for Chen Liuli, I want to go there in person now."
