Murong Qingyan didn't care about what other people thought. That space spirit tool is hers, so it will naturally be who she wants to give it to, then give it to someone. Moreover, if she wanted to give gifts to those who pretended to be snakes, she would rather throw things away.
When Chen Wenrui looked at Chen Xianzhu, she gritted her teeth with hatred. It was obvious that the two of them came forward to show respect to Murong, but only Chen Xianzhu received the gift, she had nothing.
Li Xinqing was even more dissatisfied with Murong Qingyan at this time. She believed that, based on her introduction just now, Murong Qingyan must know that this Chen Xianzhu came from a concubine. However, now Murong's face is so kind to a child born from a concubine, but she has no expression for the two children born to her. Isn't this underestimating her
Everyone's attention was on Murong Qingyan and Chen Xianzhu, but no one noticed that when Chen Shanghua and the three elders looked at Chen Xianzhu, there was a thoughtful look on their faces.
After the people from the second room took their seats, Chen Shanghua continued to introduce the people from the third room to Murong Qingyan, "Qingyan, this is your third uncle, Chen Xianzhong, and your third aunt, Zhao Ya'er."
Chen Xianzhong looked at Murong Qingyan, a smile appeared on his honest face, "Qianyan, hello, I'm your third uncle."
Zhao Ya'er also smiled at Murong. Although she hadn't spoken yet, the kindness she released was real.
Looking at Chen Xianzhong and Zhao Ya'er, Murong's face showed a sincere smile, "Third uncle, third aunt, how are you."
Unlike the two people in front of him, Murong Dianyan felt a genuine kindness from the two people in front of him. She could feel that the third uncle and third aunt had no bad intentions towards her, and they were honest people.
Soon, Zhao Ya'er also began to introduce her children to Murong Qingyan, "Qingyan, this is your fourth cousin Chen Xiansong, fifth cousin Chen Xianbai, and your fifth cousin Chen Wenxin, I hope you can be well in the future. get along."
Probably to show their goodwill, Chen Xiansong and Chen Xianbai took the initiative to say hello, "Hello, cousin."
"Hello, two cousins." Murong replied with a smile, "Please give me more advice in the future."
Then, Murong Qingyan waved to Chen Wenxin again. Chen Wenxin is only seven or eight years old this year. She has beautiful hair and looks like a cute loli doll. Moreover, the agile eyeballs kept turning, and it looked even more aura. Such a cute girl, people like to see it.
Seeing Murong's face calling her, Chen Wenxin didn't even recognize her life, so she stepped forward and smiled sweetly at Murong's face.
Chen Wenxin's smile just hit the cute point of Murong's face, she directly hugged Chen Wenxin and kissed her. This is simply too cute, is there any wood
Later, Murong Qingyan also gave Chen Wenxin a small gourd exactly like Chen Xianzhu. However, Chen Wenxin did not accept it immediately, but took a look at Chen Ruizhong and Zhao Ya'er, and accepted it only after obtaining the consent of the two.
Chen Xiansong and Chen Xianbai on the side did not show any dissatisfaction from beginning to end, they still stood there smiling.
After getting to know each other, Murong Qingyan knew all the people in the Chen family's direct line. The people in the first and second rooms didn't like her niece who appeared out of nowhere. However, the people in the third room are quite honest. Those three children, her third uncle and third aunt are well educated.
After Chen Shanghua looked around at the people below, he cleared his throat and said, "Okay, today you two have officially said hello. In the future, Qingyan will live in Chen's house, you have to treat her well. ."
"Grandfather, you can rest assured." Chen Xianbin got up and said with a smile, "Since Qingyan cousin is the daughter of my aunt, she is naturally a member of our Chen family, and we will definitely treat her well."
"Well." Chen Shanghua nodded with satisfaction, "Qingyan just returned to Chen's house not long ago, many things are still unclear, if something happens, you should try to let her, you know?"
After hearing Chen Shanghua's words, the faces of the people sitting below were different. Trying to let Murong show his face, isn't it obvious that they are not allowed to compete with Murong's face in the future? Saying such eccentric words makes everyone feel uncomfortable. In the past, I heard that the head of the family loves Murong Qingyan very much, and now they have a deeper understanding.
For a time, when everyone looked at Murong and showed her face, their expressions were different.
Facing the gazes cast by everyone, Murong looked as if he had not seen anything. She still drank her tea calmly, as if nothing had anything to do with her.
However, in fact, Chen Shanghua said these words without too deep meaning. The reason why he said this was not because he favored Murong Qingyan, but because Murong Qingyan's identity was different from before. She now has the old ancestor's ring in her hand, which can represent the old ancestor. Everyone in the Chen family must respect her.
On the other hand, it was because of Murong Qingyan's high level of cultivation at this time, and there was an unknown Huangfu Jue escorting her by her side. If that person doesn't have long eyes and offends Murong Qingyan, then they themselves will suffer.
It's a pity that other people don't understand Chen Shanghua's good intentions at this time. In the eyes of everyone, he is naked and partial to Murong.
Although he felt uncomfortable, Chen Shanghua had already spoken, and everyone could only force a smile and nodded in compliment.
Seeing everyone's response, Chen Shanghua nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand, and said, "Okay, you all go down first! Stay behind, I have something to tell you."
Seeing that Chen Shanghua left Murong Qingyan alone, the others felt even more uncomfortable. Everyone wanted to know what the patriarch meant by leaving Murong Qingyan alone. However, the head of the family has already spoken, and they can only leave first.
After everyone else left the front hall, only Chen Shanghua, the three elders, and Murong Qingyan and Huangfu Jue were left in the front hall. For Huangfu Jue to still stay here, Chen Shanghua is nothing. After getting along for this period of time, he also saw a lot of the relationship between Murong Qingyan and Huangfu Jue. The two were almost inseparable.
"Qingyan, what do you think?" Chen Shanghua looked at Murong Qingyan and asked tentatively, "Today, you have seen your three uncles, three people in the third room, what do you think?"
"Grandfather, shouldn't you be more aware of these three uncles?" Murong said with a smile, "If that's the case, why ask me again?"
"You girl." Looking at Murong's face, Chen Shanghua said angrily, "What do I mean? Don't you understand? Do you think which of your three uncles can take on a heavy responsibility? of?"
Murong raised her eyebrows, "Grandfather, are you sure you really want to hear me tell the truth?"
"Could it be that you still want to tell a lie to coax me?" Chen Shanghua gave Murong a white look, "Although it's the first time we met, I think you should still have the ability to see people."
"Since my grandfather asked this question, it's natural for me to hide it." Murong said with a light smile, "Among the three uncles, none of them can take on important responsibilities."
She was telling the truth, the eldest uncle Li Ruixing was narrow-minded, and it was not that he did not have the demeanor of taking on great responsibilities. The second uncle, Li Ruihua, is a person whose emotions and anger surfaced on the surface. Such a person has a very straightforward temperament, but it is easy for others to take advantage of it. However, such a person will not play any conspiracy tricks. As for the third uncle, Li Ruizhong, he was a simple and honest person. However, Uncle San is not very talented, and although he has a good temperament, he lacks ruthlessness. Such a person is a good-natured person, but he definitely can't take on too much responsibility.
After hearing Murong's words, Chen Shanghua couldn't help but sighed, "Oh, you are right, none of these three guys can bear the burden of the Chen family."
In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that his three sons couldn't take on big responsibilities, why would he keep holding on to power? He wanted to let go, but he couldn't find a suitable heir. If their Chen family was like the Xuanyuan family, and there was someone like Xuanyuan Lang, that would be great.
Now the Chen family is showing a charming face, but unfortunately this granddaughter is not surnamed Chen, and she does not have much ambition for the Chen family.
"Qingyan, are you planning to focus on the next generation?" The first elder looked at Murong Qingyan and said, "Are you optimistic about Chen Xianzhu?"
This time it was not only the first elder, but even Chen Shanghua and the other two elders set their sights on Murong Qingyan. They all returned, and the future heir of the Chen family was to be chosen by Murong.
"Elder, you think too much." After hearing what the elder said, Murong smiled and said, "I just thought he was cute, so I gave him a small gift. Look at Chen Wenxin, I don't give it too. Yet?"
She really just liked the innocent child, so she gave him a little gift. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of my grandfather and the others, it was that they took a fancy to the child of Chen Xianzhu. It's really a huge Oolong!
"So that's the case!" Chen Shanghua nodded, expressing his understanding, and then said, "Qianyan, in fact, you don't need to feel any pressure, we just ask. The heir is not in a hurry, you can take a look at it slowly. ."
Murong smiled and nodded, but she was not in a hurry. Although she promised Chen Tiankun to choose a suitable heir for the Chen family, she was not in a hurry. As the head of a family, in addition to being gifted in cultivation, character is also very important. Now she has only just met once, and she doesn't know much at all.
Moreover, there is a sentence that she did not say, that is, she does not have to choose the heir in the blood of these direct lineages. She could see that her grandfather still wanted her to choose an heir among these people today, but she did not stick to this bloodline.
Of course, she didn't say these words, after all, she still needed to take into account her grandfather's feelings. Besides, she hasn't seen anyone yet.
Seeing that Murong Qingyan didn't seem to be in a hurry, Chen Shanghua didn't say much, he said, "By the way, Qingyan, since you have returned to Chen's house now, I will take your Announce your identity, and let other family members know your identity, do you think it's good?"
"It's all up to my grandfather alone." Murong Qingyan didn't care much about these things.
"Then it's decided." After Chen Shanghua nodded, he continued, "After a while, the exchange meetings of the major families will also arrive. Qingyan, do you want to attend then?"
"Exchange meeting?" This was the first time Murong Qingyan heard it, and a trace of interest appeared on her face, "Grandfather, what exchange meeting?"
"Every ten years, our major families will hold an exchange meeting." Chen Shanghua explained, "It is said that the major families communicate with each other, but in fact it is an open and secret battle between the major families. At that time, it will be divided into There are several items such as the cultivation level test, the alchemy test, and the weapon refining test."
"I see." Murong nodded with a clear face.
This kind of competition should be similar to the ones she has participated in before. However, the battle between these major families should be more powerful.
"Speaking of which, for the past hundred years, our Chen family has been suppressed by the Song family in the alchemy competition." When talking about this matter, the elder's face became unpleasant, "We are the same as the Song family. The four major families, and they are all alchemy families. But now our Chen family has been suppressed by the Song family."
It is because the two families are both alchemy families, so it is easier for people to put them together for comparison. Over the years, the Song family has become more and more arrogant.
"Song family?" After hearing the words of the first elder, a faint light flashed in Murong Qingyan's eyes, "I really haven't heard of the Song family for a long time."
She didn't forget that she still had a grudge with the Song family. Back then, Bai Ruo was sent by Song Liyi from the Song family to deal with her. This matter, she has not settled with the Song family, but this does not mean that she will forget this matter. On the Song family's side, she would have to return it all one day.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Murong Qingyan was wrong, Chen Shanghua said with concern, "Qingyan, do you know anyone from the Song family?"
"No." Murong Qingyan shook his head gently, "It's just that I heard about the Song family in the past."
Huangfu Jue on the side looked at Murong Qingyan thoughtfully while Murong Qingyan was talking.
He also remembered this Song family. Perhaps it should be said that as long as it is related to Murong Qingyan, she will not forget it, especially if the Song family tries to hurt Murong Qingyan, he will not forget it even more.
Chen Shanghua said without hesitation, "For so many years, we and the Song family have been fighting openly and secretly. Especially in alchemy."
Over the years, the Chen family has been suppressed by the Song family. If it weren't for the Chen family's profound heritage and the presence of Shenhuo, perhaps the Chen family would no longer be able to continue to sit in one of the four major families.
"By the way, Qingyan, aren't you Yuan Li's apprentice? Then you should be an alchemist too!" Chen Shanghua suddenly asked, "What rank is your current alchemist?"
Before, he had heard that Yuan Li's apprentice was a fifth-grade alchemist. That should have been more than fifty years ago, and now even if the beauty is not good, it should still be a fifth-grade alchemist! In fact, to be honest, Qingyan is already a fifth-grade alchemist at such a young age, which is already very powerful.
In the Chen family, the person with the most talent for alchemy is Chen Xianyi from the second room. He is dozens of years older than Murong Qingyan, but he is only a fifth-grade alchemist now.
However, Murong Qingyan's talent in cultivation is so high, even if there is a slight deficiency in alchemy, it is understandable.
"Me?" Murong shrugged and said indifferently, "I am now an eighth-rank alchemist."
After she came out of the retreat, she was already a seventh-grade alchemist. During this period of time, when she was cultivating, she did not forget to continue practicing alchemy. Some time ago, not long after her advanced integration period, she also achieved a breakthrough in alchemy. She has now been able to refine the eighth-grade medicinal pill.
"What? An eighth-grade alchemist?" Chen Shanghua couldn't believe his ears, he looked at Murong Qingyan and confirmed again, "Qianyan, you say, you are an eighth-grade alchemist now? Is that right? I You must have heard it right!"
Not only Chen Shanghua, but even the other three elders began to doubt their ears. Murong Qingyan was not yet a hundred years old, but he was already an eighth-grade alchemist. Even Yuan Li, who was called a genius back then, couldn't do this. Moreover, Murong's face is in the cultivation base, and now it is the integration stage. After spending so much energy on cultivation, the time spent on alchemy will be relatively much less.
However, Murong Qingyan said that she is now an eighth-grade alchemist, is this really possible
"I'm an eighth-rank alchemist, is this strange?" Murong frowned, "I only advanced to an eighth-rank alchemist a few days ago."
She didn't feel that she had made much progress. Even though she is usually busy with cultivation, she has never slack off in alchemy. Moreover, for her, alchemy is not a means, but a kind of enjoyment. She enjoyed the process of alchemy.
This time, Chen Shanghua and the three elders finally confirmed that what they heard was the truth.
"Hahaha, it's really great." Chen Shanghua couldn't help laughing, "Qianyan, you are really amazing. I didn't expect you to be an eighth-grade alchemist now. People know they're going to vomit blood."
Chen Shanghua never thought that his granddaughter was not only so talented in cultivation, but also in alchemy. Such a young eighth-rank alchemist, in this continent, I am afraid that he will not be able to find a second one. Able to reach the rank of an eighth-grade alchemist, at least several hundred years old. However, now Murong Qingyan has not even reached the age of 100. If things continued like this, even he had no way of predicting what Murong Qingyan's future would be like.
He is only a ninth-rank alchemist now, and his alchemy rank is already the highest in the Chen family. The first elder was only an eighth-rank alchemist, while the second and third elders were only seventh-rank alchemists.
Not only Chen Shanghua, but the faces of the other three elders could not help but show excitement. Unexpectedly, after so many years, such a genius would appear in the Chen family.
Now everyone has a little more understanding of the choice of the ancestors.
Murong Qingyan was less than 100 years old now, and he was already a cultivator at the integration stage, and he was also an eighth-rank alchemist. As long as she was there, the Chen family would not be able to decline.
No wonder the ancestors let Murong show his face to protect the Chen family. In time, Murong's face will surely become the blessing of the Chen family, which they deeply believe.
Seeing the obvious joy of Chen Shanghua and the three elders, Murong Qingyan didn't say much, and of course he wasn't proud of it.
She knew that her current achievements looked great in the eyes of outsiders. But only she knows that the distance between her and Huangfu Jue is still very large. She still has a long way to go if she wants to be worthy of Huangfu Jue. She has to work harder.
Huangfu Jue, who was sitting next to him, seemed to sense Murong Qingyan's mood at this time. He didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and quietly held Murong's hand.
No one knows better than him how much effort Murong Qingyan has put in to get to where he is today. Moreover, he was very clear in his heart that the reason why Murong Qingyan worked so hard was to get to his side as soon as possible.
In fact, he really wanted to directly imprison Murong Qingyan by his side, so that the two of them would not have to be separated often.
However, he knew Murong Qingyan, so he couldn't do that. If he did that, he would lose the one he loved. Therefore, all he can do is stay by her side, escort her, and let her grow up. Even if it hurts to see her hurt, she can only endure it.
