Chapter 2715
Qingshan ignored what Qingsen was thinking. He directly took out the token proving his status as the Grand Elder and tossed it to Qingsen. Then, he stretched lazily and said, "Finally, I am relaxed."
She then turned to Qingyun and Qinghe and said, "Qingyun, Qinghe, from now on, your great-uncle will rely on you two to support her."
Qingyun nodded with a smile. "My master said that someone like Great-Uncle is also a talent. Although he cannot stay by our master’s side for long, taking him back for occasional daily guidance is fine."
Most importantly, Qingshan had already reached the Martial Venerable stage, which corresponded to Qi Condensation. Therefore, he had a chance to reach Foundation Establishment.
Actually, for Zhu Yanyi, even Zhu Zhibin could be made a true cultivator by her, let alone Qingshan, who had successfully condensed Qi. So, with a slight effort from her, it was done. Once she truly reached Foundation Establishment, she could let her venture into the cultivation world.
"Anyway, no matter what, Great-Uncle is sticking to you two." Qingshan was originally a lonely person, with no wife or children. That is why he valued his nephew’s family so much. One could imagine how great a blow it was for Qingshan when Qingmu and others met with disaster. Especially when he later learned that Qingyun and Qinghe had gone missing, it was no wonder he had the idea of fighting to the death.
Qingsen watched Qingshan leave so casually with Qingyun and Qinghe. He forced a smile and said, "Since the Grand Elder wants to leave, I will not stop him. However, you should at least eat at this banquet before going."
Qingshan looked at Qingyun and asked, "Do you want to eat at the banquet?"
Qingyun raised her eyebrows slightly. "I didn’t give a gift."
"Sister, you didn’t give a gift, but Great-Uncle did," Qinghe said with a grin. "Besides, Great-Uncle has already given up the position of Grand Elder. So, it won’t be a problem for you to have a meal at the wedding banquet."
"Miss Qingyun, Senior Qingshan, Young Master Qinghe, why don’t you come and sit at my table?" Lan Tian invited them with a smile.
"Then we will trouble you." Seeing that Qingyun and Qinghe had no objections, Qingshan agreed. However, in his heart, he was guessing Qingyun and Qinghe’s intentions. He didn’t believe they would mind such things. But since Qingyun and Qinghe had stayed, there must be their own purposes. Anyway, if one is not deaf or dumb, one should not pretend to be the head of the household. He would just watch from the side.
Qingshan led Qinghe and her sister over to sit with Lan Tian. On the stage, Qingxia’s expression was not good. She couldn’t believe that Qingyun was still alive, and moreover, seemed to be living so easily.
She glanced at Hong Xiao beside her. Hong Xiao kept her lips tightly closed, clearly unwilling to say anything about the current situation.
"Brother Hong Xiao," she called softly.
Hong Xiao looked at her and then hummed, "Continue."
The wife was chosen by himself, and some things were done by himself. He had no right to regret.
Zhu Yanyi saw this from the sky and smiled slightly. "It seems that Hong Xiao has no way out now."
Yan Aohan wrapped one arm around Zhu Yanyi’s waist and said, "A man must pay the price for what she has done. Even if she wants to regret it now, she must have the opportunity to regret. Generally speaking, your disciple will not give her the chance to regret."
"But I feel that Lan Tian seems to have a good impression of your disciple," the Immortal Emperor said, looking at the situation below.
Zhu Yanyi pouted. "My disciple is only fourteen years old. She is still a child. Lan Tian is already twenty-four."
"Wife, I was a whole year older than you back then," Yan Aohan disagreed with this topic and reminded her.
The Immortal Emperor also said, "When I first met my wife, I was ten years older than her. So, Empress Yan, you don’t need to mention age. Besides, our cultivators live so long. If your disciple truly likes Lan Tian, it can be considered."
Zhu Yanyi glanced at everyone present. "What are you thinking? I am saying that my disciple is only fourteen and is a child. Even if Lan Tian wants to marry, I will not allow her to marry until she is twenty."
"That is possible," the Immortal Empress agreed. "Cultivators lack nothing but time. Just a few years can pass in a single seclusion."
However, whether they would end up together depended on their fate.
The Black Emperor then said, "But it seems that Lan Tian and your disciple have already formed a marriage bond."
The Black Emperor had seen it, and Yan Aohan had seen it too. Yan Aohan nodded at Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi rubbed her forehead. "My disciple is only fourteen."
"That, wife," Yan Aohan carefully reminded her, "when I first met you, you were only five."
"So, you are actually very perverted," Zhu Yanyi retorted.
Yan Aohan was instantly speechless and could only say, "Let’s continue watching."
"Look, the main supporting character has arrived." Indeed, a person entered the Qing family gate. It was Hong Hai, the head of the Hong family.
"Wait, I do not agree to this marriage." Hong Hai’s face was full of anger. He walked forward and slapped Hong Xiao. "You have a lot of nerve. While I was away, you destroyed the engagement."
The head of the Hong family had to personally escort medicinal herbs once every three years, and this time it was Hong Hai’s turn.
Hong Hai rarely managed family affairs, but he had heard about Hong Xiao and Qingxia. However, he still knew shame. Therefore, he had repeatedly instructed Hong Xiao to remember that he must absolutely not break the engagement with Qingyun. But he never expected that as soon as he returned, he heard about Hong Xiao and Qingxia.
Hong Hai had rushed over to stop this matter.
Qingxia never expected that the one stopping her this time was her future father-in-law. "Uncle."
"Niece, I will absolutely not agree to your marriage with Hong Xiao," Hong Hai said coldly. Then he looked at Hong Xiao and said, "Hong Xiao, if you want to marry Qingxia, you must give up your right to inherit the Hong family headship. I will change Hong Lei to be the heir."
Hong Hai’s action was indeed very decisive. He didn’t act, but when he did, it stunned everyone present.
"Brother Hong Hai, what do you mean? Is my Qingxia not worthy of Hong Xiao?" Qingsen was dissatisfied.
Hong Hai looked at Qingsen. "The one Hong Xiao has an engagement with in the Qing family is Qingyun. If it were not for Qingyun, I could let him choose other noble ladies, but it would absolutely not be Qingxia."
"Why?" This was not asked by Qingsen, but by Hong Xiao.
Hong Hai looked at Hong Xiao and said, "Because this is the oath I made myself back then. I was saved by Qingmu, so I repeatedly begged for Qingmu’s daughter for you. To make Qingmu believe in my sincerity, I made an oath. If Hong Xiao marries into the Qing family, it can only be Qingyun. If he cannot marry into the Qing family, he must absolutely not have any relationship with other members of the Qing family. Otherwise, our Hong family will be ruined."
Qingshan, standing nearby, asked Qingyun in a low voice, "Qingyun, is this true?"
