"Sister!" Zhou Yinru protested, as if she couldn't get married unless she married Jin.
Zhou Miaoru still smiled: "Yinru, as far as the current situation is concerned, there is almost no possibility of you getting married within the sect. It is appropriate, either you look down on others, or they look down on you. In this case, we only Can find suitable objects outside the sect."
"But what is the Jin family?" Zhou Yinru shouted, "They are neither high-ranking officials, nor are they famous families. Who doesn't know that young master Jin is a waste? Marrying with the Jin family, what benefits do we have?"
"But the Jin family is rich." Zhou Miaoru said quietly.
"So, for money, you sold me?" Zhou Yinru jumped up, she couldn't believe that this was what her sister said.
"You think it's for us?" Zhou Miaoru's lips curled up, "Compared to the famous families, the Jin family has a weaker foundation. In recent years, their power has expanded very rapidly, and they want wealth and power. The only head of the Jin family is Jin The eldest young master is your lifeblood, if you marry him, the huge Jin family will be yours in the future."
"Can… "
"But is he a fool?" Zhou Miaoru cut off her words, "Yinru, why are you so upset? It's good that he is a fool. You don't need to hide behind the scenes, but you are taking over the Jin family as the young wife of the Jin family."
Zhou Yinru bit her lip, still feeling suffocated: "Am I going to be a fool all my life? Doesn't that make people laugh? Sister, you were married back then, but your brother-in-law has unlimited potential and looks good, I can help it up. But what is that idiot..."
"Yinru," Zhou Miaoru looked at her with a look of pity, "So you still have such thoughts in your heart? Looking for a handsome and young man, to become a loving couple?"
Under her gaze, Zhou Yinru lowered her head and muttered in a low voice, "No matter how bad it is, I have to find a normal person, right?"
"You!" Zhou Miaoru poked her on the forehead, "Why don't you think about it from a different angle? Since Young Master Jin is a fool, he will follow you everywhere. When you take power, of course you will want what you like. .”
"But… "
Zhou Miaoru sighed faintly: "Are you thirty-two this year?"
Zhou Yinru shut her mouth.
"We warriors don't get old easily, but if we don't reach the realm of transformation, we won't be able to maintain youth forever. One day, our skin will loosen and our complexion will become dull... Do you still want to delay?"
Zhou Yinru moved her lips, but still shook her head: "I don't want to marry a fool, can't I?"
Zhou Miaoru leaned down, met her eyes, and said softly and coldly: "Okay. The battle of Tianmen is coming soon. You didn't participate in the previous two times. If you don't participate this time, you will automatically cancel the quota of true disciples." If you don't want to marry into the Jin family, then prove with facts that you are qualified to be the master."
…
In the small courtyard with bamboo fence, Master Yuwen picked up a roster.
"There are quite a few disciples who signed up for this Tianmen competition!"
"Yes." Shao Zhengyang stood by.
He is twenty this year, he was already mature, but now he has lost his youthful appearance, suddenly he looks like he is twenty-three or twenty-four.
"Are you nervous?" Master Yuwen asked him with a smile.
Shao Zhengyang pursed his lips and shook his head.
Master Yuwen lowered his head again, swipe his fingers all the way down, then paused, and said with a smile: "Gao Xiang from Liulin has also signed up, I didn't expect that you will compete with him."
Shao Zhengyang's eyes changed slightly, and his fists were clenched.
He entered the fusion environment three years ago. That year, there happened to be a Tianmen dispute, so it was a matter of course to sign up. Who knew, he was cheated by others in the battle of Tianmen, fell out of the top ten, and now he is only a second-class disciple.
Gao Xiang was several years late in getting started. In Shao Zhengyang's eyes, he was just a brat. He didn't expect that he would compete with this brat for the place of true disciple. Shao Zhengyang hated in his heart, he must ask those people for this debt!
"Huh!" Master Yuwen suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Shao Zhengyang looked over to his master.
Master Yuwen flicked the roster and looked at him meaningfully: "The girl in Bixi Valley, do you remember?"
Shao Zhengyang nodded. He couldn't forget what happened during the spring hunt four years ago.
"She also signed up for this Tianmen battle."
Shao Zhengyang was stunned: "She... has merged?"
"Since you signed up, of course you have achieved breakthrough fusion." Master Yuwen smiled, "No wonder Senior Brother Liu suddenly used secret sword skills to replace me with high-grade black weapons."
"This is impossible!" Shao Zhengyang blurted out.
Four years ago during the spring hunting, she and Gao Xiang went hunting together for the first time, and Shao Zhengyang was with them in a small team, so he knew their realm very well.
Gao Xiang broke through integration four years later, Shao Zhengyang was not surprised. First of all, Liulin's lineage accepts disciples very strictly, Gao Xiang can be favored, and his aptitude is first-class. Second, Liu Lin's lineage is single-handed, and all resources are exclusively owned by Gao Xiang. The entire sect is probably only comparable to Fu Mingtang. Third, Gao Xiang goes to the mountains and forests of Yaoxi every year, and everyone can see his progress.
But what about Lu Mingshu? Her aptitude is good, but who doesn't know what's going on in Bixi Valley? Liu Jizheng has the name of being in charge of the academy, but there is no corresponding enshrinement, so the resources are half gone. Moreover, she has never been out of the valley for the past four years, and has never participated in spring hunting. All children know that warriors come from fighting, so how can they make progress behind closed doors
"No matter how impossible it is, it's true." Master Yuwen pondered, "I underestimated her. Four years ago, Fu Mingtang lost his confidence. Four years later, he successfully broke through the fusion realm without any resources. Zhengyang, Compared with her, you seem to be inferior!"
Shao Zhengyang pursed his lips tightly.
"Interesting, this idle move may turn into a killer move." Master Yuwen raised his head and saw his disciple's expression changing, and his face seemed to be worried, so he said bluntly, "Why, this is uncomfortable? What a genius in this world How much? Once you experience discomfort once, then you will be sad more times in the future. "
After a moment of silence, Shao Zhengyang bowed his head: "Teacher is wrong."
Master Yuwen shook his head: "Zhengyang, what I want as a teacher is not for you to admit your mistakes. Think about it, where is your previous arrogance? I miss that proud you."
After all, Master Yuwen got up and went into the room to practice.
Shao Zhengyang was left behind, his expression changed and his mood was complicated.
At the same time that Zhuli Xiaoyuan received the roster, Qiongyu Palace also received it.
Zhou Miaoru's well-manicured jade-colored nails scratched under the name, her eyes narrowed slightly.
"So fast?" she said to herself, "I underestimated her."
"Mother, what are you talking about?" The cardamom girl who was writing and drawing on the table raised her head and looked at her mother curiously.
Zhou Miaoru smiled lightly and put down the roster: "I'm saying, your brother has been too lazy recently."
Fu Mingxi thought for a while, but was puzzled: "Mingtang is not lazy recently, he is practicing every day."
"What about you?" Zhou Miaoru looked at her daughter, "I just play around every day. When did you practice seriously?"
Fu Mingxi curled her lips: "I'm not as good as Mingtang, my bones are so good..."
"But you are not worse than her."
"Mother, who are you talking about?"
