Chapter 142: Map of the Lord of Jincheng
Once the father reaches the late stage of foundation building, not to mention the girl with two spiritual roots from the Yi family, even the granddaughter of the seventh brother with three spiritual roots cannot be married by the Jin family.
After all, no matter how powerful Old City Master Jin is, he is only a foundation-building monk in the Jin family.
Although the young city master of the Jin family joined the sect of Elder Jin Dan of the Hedao Sect, the people of the Hedao Sect did not bother to deal with the affairs of this disciple's family.
The young city lord with dual spiritual roots is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, and has not even broken through the foundation building stage, so he is not considered a threat at the moment.
Besides, there are two juniors in the Ruzi generation in the clan who have dual spiritual roots, so I don’t think they will be afraid of him at all in the future.
Well, my father is in retreat these days, so he has time to supervise Ruxing's cultivation.
Hu Weixian thought this and couldn't help but feel very good. He stepped on the magic weapon at his feet and flew towards his yard with a smile in his eyes.
…
"Sneeze." Hu Ruxing, who was chatting with his brother in Hu Ruhai's yard, suddenly sneezed.
Seeing this, Hu Ruhai frowned and said, "It's the Mengqiu season now. Don't be greedy for the cold, or be careful of getting cold. Why don't we stop talking today and go back to rest early."
"I, I'm not greedy for coolness. Good fourth brother, just let me stay a little longer. My grandpa has been out of isolation these days and torments me at home every day. Look at my face and my arms."
Hu Ruxing rubbed his nose, pointed pitifully at the bruise on his cheek, then lifted up his sleeves and shouted miserably.
Hu Ruhai had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and said, "Then I will leave you here to have dinner before leaving. I will go to practice after dinner."
Although he intended to stay in Fourth Brother's yard for a while longer, Hu Ruxing also knew that Fourth Brother's qualifications were not particularly good. Being able to practice to the seventh level of Qi Refining at this age must be inseparable from his daily hard training.
.
I have taken up a lot of my fourth brother's practice time during the past two days. If I still linger at night, it would really be unreasonable.
Thinking of this, Hu Ruxing could only nod reluctantly.
The two chatted for a while. It was getting late, and soon a servant from the clan brought them food.
Hu Ruxing was eating his meal absentmindedly and suddenly said, "Fourth brother, do you know that the young city lord of Zongyuan City has returned to the city.
I heard that he came back from leave this time specifically for the marriage of the two families. It seems that the marriage between Sixth Sister and the Jin family will be officially decided soon."
Hu Ruhai's expression changed, and he frowned and said, "It wasn't long after the Hedao Sect's inner sect competition. I heard that Jin Ziqi entered the top three in the inner sect competition. This is the time to establish good relations with those sect leaders.
the best time.
The clan leader of our two families has already agreed to the marriage, so why are the Jin family so anxious to call him back at this juncture?"
"Then I don't know. Maybe the Jin family has a noble character and is extremely independent. They don't want to embrace those Jindan in the Hedao Sect." Hu Ruxing shrugged and said indifferently.
"If the city lord of the Jin family was really indifferent to fame and wealth, he would not recruit casual cultivators aggressively and be eager to marry into my Hu family." Hu Ruhai shook his head.
Hearing this, Hu Ruxing scratched his head and said doubtfully, "What Fourth Brother said makes sense. Does Old City Lord Jin think it is more cost-effective to marry our family than to embrace the Hedao Sect? However, our family's strength is not as strong as that of the Hedao Sect.
There is no comparison at all.”
Hu Ruhai pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "There must be something fishy about this matter. Although I haven't figured out the connection yet, I can be sure that the Jin family must have some agenda, and it's not just for a simple marriage.
"
Hu Ruxing nodded in agreement, then shook his head and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, don't worry too much. Since the clan leader agreed to the marriage, he must have a reason."
"Yes." Hu Ruhai responded lightly and said nothing more. Instead, he lowered his eyes and concentrated on eating.
Even though Hu Ruxing was procrastinating, the two of them finally finished their dinner half an hour later.
Hu Ruhai stood up and walked him to the entrance of the courtyard. Hu Ruxing reluctantly said goodbye to his fourth brother, then turned around and walked out.
"Meow."
Hu Ruxing had just walked out a few steps when he suddenly heard a cat meowing from Hu Ruhai's yard behind him.
Who would have thought that a serious and serious person like Fourth Brother would keep a cat and play with dogs at home? I don’t know where Fourth Brother hides the cat. I go to Fourth Brother’s place often, but I have never seen it once.
Hu Ruxing curled his lips, and wanted to go back and knock on Hu Ruhai's door to tease the noisy civet cat, but thinking of what the fourth brother had just said and worrying that she would disturb his practice, he had no choice but to give up.
Soon I didn't know what I thought of, and a tragic expression suddenly appeared on my face, and I walked towards my yard step by step as if I was ready to die.
…
City Lord's Mansion.
"Grandpa, Zi Hua is back." A gentle-looking girl in blue bowed to the yellow-browed old man in the secret room and said.
Old City Master Jin, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, nodded slightly and said, "Well, how has Hua'er been studying at Qingsong these days?"
Jin Zihua raised his head, rolled his eyes, and replied with a smile, "Thanks to Master's patient teachings, Zi Hua has now learned the basics of formations and can set up simple small magic formations on his own."
"Yes." Old City Lord Jin nodded happily after hearing this.
"It's just that Zi Hua has been busy practicing formations these days, and Zi Hua's progress has dropped a lot... He has not yet broken through the sixth level of Qi refining." Jin Zi Hua showed hesitation and whispered in a low voice.
Old City Lord Jin raised his eyes, glanced at Jin Zihua lightly, and said, "It doesn't matter, you can just practice the formation with Qingsong with peace of mind. You are still young, and you are not in a hurry to practice now."
Hearing this, Jin Zihua bit his lower lip gently, and his delicate eyebrows frowned slightly with dissatisfaction, but he still responded respectfully, "Yes, Grandpa, Zi Hua understands."
Jin Zihua sighed slightly in his heart. Sure enough, he was just a three-lingen with ordinary qualifications, and his grandfather would not care about her progress in cultivation.
Old City Master Jin didn't care about his granddaughter's reaction. He just nodded and continued, "I know that you have always been close to that girl from the Wu family. If you go out with her again these days, remember to
Bring your third brother with you too."
Bringing the third brother? The Wu family did have the idea of marrying Tianjiao and the second brother before, but the grandfather rejected it on the grounds that Tianjiao’s spiritual root attributes were inappropriate. But, what does this have to do with the third brother?
Jin Zihua was slightly startled when he heard this and said in confusion, "But Third Brother is just a mortal. If I ask Tianjiao to go out for fun, is it appropriate to take him with me?"
"Hmph, so what if he's a mortal? It's enough for you to know that his surname is Jin." Old City Lord Jin's face darkened and he said coldly.
