Zou (zou) Tu state capital.
The spring breeze blows the willows, and the spring flowers fly in the city. On the main street, the night snack stalls that are open all night have not yet closed, and the breakfast shops facing the street have already opened, and all the big and small shops are full. Just like this prosperous city with thousands of tiles and crowded alleys.
On both sides of the Imperial Street leading directly to the Imperial Palace, there are many residences of dignitaries. Among them, a mansion with multiple terraces and pavilions is the Yan family's mansion. Inside the mansion, there are courtyards and pavilions that have been enlarged thousands of times by the space formation. The jade steps and red courtyards, pink walls and black tiles are like a fairyland on earth. The lingering purple air seems to cover the imperial city in the distance.
"All of this, my son, has been brought to this family!"
Isabella Madam sat in the pear blossom chair in the flower hall with grace and dignity, and deliberately paused to re-read the word "my son". After enjoying the trembling of the people after hearing the name of Ethan Yan, she looked around at the members of the Yan family who were standing or sitting in the hall with a look of arrogance.
This is really a large and flourishing family, with fat and thin people, young ladies and young men, so many that it seems like four generations have lived together. God knows, in fact, there are only two generations living here - Master Victor, his wives and Concub!nes, and his children. Master Victor is a Confucian cultivator, who has reached the late stage of foundation building. He has served in the court for many years. While he has been practicing virtue and forging a righteous spirit, he has also done his best to help the population of Zou Tu. It can be said that he has "worked hard and made great contributions".
No one knew which link had gone wrong, which led to the daily intrigues in this small cultivation family, which was no worse than the backyards of ordinary people, and was even worse.
What is being played out in the flower hall now is another farce.
------The Yan family is also full of energy today.
The theme of this palace fight is the rumor that Master Victor and Isabella Madam's pride and only legitimate son, Prince Tao, is going to marry Major General Julian of the General's Mansion.
Marriage is a good thing, but the great general Zhuan Sun, who was once known as the first god of war in Zou Tu, has now lost all his cultivation and is like a useless person. However, Master Leo is still a genius with a high level of cultivation. He is the only one in Zou Tu who is most likely to ascend to immortality or even go further in the past ten thousand years.
"The vicious person who spreads such rumors is simply despicable! No matter who she is or what her identity is, I will find her out and make her die a miserable death!"
Isabella Madam said that she didn't know who was behind the scenes, but in fact, her sharp eyes had never left the face of the person in front of her since the beginning. That was the only co-wife in the family besides Master Victor who could compete with Isabella Madam, Princess Vivienne, the younger sister of Zou Tu.
Princess Vivienne's cultivation is not as good as Isabella Madam's, but she has royal treasures and is not afraid of Isabella Madam's spiritual pressure.
Isabella Madam continued to scold the dishonest Concub!nes in the house: "And you! Just because of some rumors, you believe everything you hear. You want my son to marry a useless person? Is that thing on your neck just to increase your height?!"
Master Victor has always been uninterested in the secular disputes in the family. He is a typical person who is only responsible for giving birth but not raising. The only exception is the legitimate son Tao, who he does not allow anyone to harm. He raised his loose eyelids and said, "Madam is right. Go back and reflect on yourself behind closed doors. Before you learn what it means to stop rumors at the wise and respect the legitimate son, I think you don't need to go out!"
This farce should end here.
Princess Vivienne almost bit her teeth to pieces, her eyes seemed to be filled with poison, unwilling to see her attack being easily resolved, she interrupted Master Victor quickly and urgently:
"Major General Julian had his spiritual roots severed in the battle to seal the city in order to get Zou Tu a [Best] rating, and his path to immortality was hopeless.
"Now, the many places recommended to the Nine Star Sects are all dependent on this [Top] evaluation, and everyone in the region is grateful. At this time, if we hear that the Yan family wants to break off the engagement, how will the world view it?
"The world is ignorant, and it's fine if Yan is regarded as a treacherous villain who flatters the powerful and bullies the weak. What I'm most afraid of is that it will tarnish Master Leo's reputation!"
As the greatest hope and pride of the Yan family and even Zou Tu, Ethan Yan, a precocious talent with an innate spiritual body, cannot be shrouded in any shadow. This is the tacit understanding and consensus of everyone.
Princess Vivienne gave another strong prescription: "My brother said that not only is General Julian's cultivation completely wasted, but his life span may also be affected. This is just a marriage, not a marriage of birthrights. Prince Tao doesn't even need to be present. He can just wait for General Julian to marry and die, and he will achieve merit. Why not do it?"
In name, Master Victor is the same as most of Zou Tu's cultivators. He follows the path of proving his truth through merit. No one values reputation more than him.
Princess Vivienne was not stupid, she did not really want to destroy Master Leo, the foundation of the family, she just wanted to make things difficult for Isabella Madam, and she would do anything to make things difficult for her. As long as she saw Isabella Madam unhappy, she would be happy.
"Tao'er really doesn't know?" Master Victor's fingers tapped the armrest quickly, he was a little hesitant.
Mrs. Yan's heart skipped a beat.
She decided to fight Princess Vivienne because this was her way. Whether she won or lost, it all had its true meaning, but implicating her son was another matter.
Isabella Madam said hurriedly, "This is nonsense! How could my son not know about this? The once-in-a-decade ceremony for the Nine Star Sects to recruit disciples is about to be held. My son might come back to represent the Tianyan Sect. Are you going to let him watch this monkey show?!"
Master Victor unconsciously clenched his hands on the armrest, and the tension and expectation between his eyebrows were obvious: "Will Tao'er really come back?"
There have been several ceremonies to recruit disciples in the past few years. Although the Tianyan Sect always showed extra courtesy to the Yan family whenever they had visitors, Ethan Yan never came back once.
"That's hard to say," Mrs. Yan was actually unsure, but she had the mentality to lie, "It will be my 120th birthday soon. My son is the most filial. Even if he doesn't come back in person, he will definitely send a clone back to celebrate my birthday."
"Let me think about it." Master Victor dared to arrange a marriage for his son secretly, but he didn't dare to really let his son know.
At this critical moment, a clever child in plain clothes and a green scarf came to report with a look of surprise: "Master, great news! Madam, great news! Young Master Leo is back!"
When these words were spoken, the whole family was shocked.
Even Mrs. Yan was stunned. Was her son really back?
Princess Vivienne fell back heavily on the solid wood round chair, her well-maintained face full of disbelief. How could it be possible? How could he come back at such a critical moment? How could Ethan Yan, who had followed the head of the Tianyan Sect to the Heguang Realm since he was three years old and never came back, suddenly come back? !
Master Victor was probably the only one who was not shocked, but only surprised. He seemed to be poured with some magic water, and suddenly changed from lifeless to radiant. This was the child who looked most like that person... His brain was no longer able to think, and he just wished he could fly out to see his son.
Mr. Yan, who was extremely capable of action, actually did so. He turned into a golden light and flew out of the door together with Isabella Madam.
The rest of the Yan family could only put aside their worries and follow them. Soon, most of the family members, who were guilty of being thieves, stood in front of the Yan family's door in a mighty manner, with the main door wide open behind them and auspicious stone lions beside them. No matter how solemn they were, it was not enough in the eyes of Master Victor and Isabella Madam.
My son deserves the best!
As he was talking, a fairy ship with flags flying all over the sky and carved beams and painted buildings was coming from far away quickly, breaking through the layers of clouds and descending from the sky in an instant, with golden light swaying and spiritual energy overflowing. The blue formation was prominent on the bottom of the ship, helping the fairy ship to dock steadily in the air, shaking out circles of water-shaped ripples and ethereal fairy energy.
Behind the aura that faintly revealed the power of laws, countless shadowy figures flew down, wearing jewels and precious stones, and their robes fluttering, and occasionally there seemed to be the faint twinkling of rays of light and star rain.
A breeze with the fragrance of Ruilin, accompanied by a long animal cry that seemed to come from the ancient times, blew away the mist and smoke just right, finally revealing the true face of the Dharma procession. With Yuanying welcoming him, Jindan participating in the journey, the foundation building and Qi refining can only be regarded as a little servant holding a sword and a tripod. With people in front and behind, and with people on both sides leading the way, under the protection of the predecessors who are even more advanced, Ethan Yan...
...With a chubby face that looked like a golden boy descending from the earth, he knelt on the white-tailed cat's back with his short legs and walked in front of his parents.
The little child, who was five heads tall, was wearing a priceless East China Sea mermaid, a fanny pack, a beautiful jade, and had red lips and white teeth. He looked innocent and tender. Just by looking at people with his eyes wide open, it was enough to make people like him. Even a ruthless person like Princess Vivienne wanted to condemn her past self. How could she bear to do such a thing to a child? !
But regardless, the scene in front of us is simply a six-year-old child riding on a giant...raccoon with a white tail.
Isabella Madam almost laughed out loud on the spot. She wanted to see who had the courage to ask for a wife for her son!
