Chapter 72: Too Handsome! It’s Also a Worry
…
"Hello, Miss Ji." Wang Anye also stood up and responded gracefully, "Wang Anye, the Chang Ning family of Xiadonggan Kingdom, met Miss Ji."
This is not the first time Wang Anye has been accosted since he came to the Immortal Dynasty.
Being too handsome is also a trouble.
However, as the saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face. If someone strikes up a conversation in a polite and courteous manner, you still have to respond to the one who deserves it. After all, when you are away from home, it is better to have one more connection than one more enemy.
It is also very important for children of aristocratic families to travel around the world and expand their knowledge and connections.
Dongqian Changning Wang family?
Ji Qianqian thought for a moment, and naturally she had never heard of this name.
In fact, she had only heard of Donggan Country. As for the famous families in Donggan Country, she knew almost nothing about it, let alone the fact that Donggan had the suffix Changning when he raised his head.
"It turns out to be Mr. An Ye." Seeing that he was from an unknown family, Ji Qianqian was not disappointed. Instead, she replied in an educated manner, "Speaking of which, this is the first time I have met a friend from Donggan Kingdom. Mr. If you come to Chaoyang Province to travel, I can give you some advice. By the way, in addition to being a disciple of the Immortal Palace, I am also a disciple of the Chaoyang Ji family."
"Chaoyang Ji's family?" Wang Anye was slightly startled.
Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, he turned out to be a member of the master's lineage.
As a result, before Wang Anye had any other reaction, Ji Wuchen became excited: "Anye, hurry up, ask her which lineage of the Ji family she is? She looks very similar to my wife Fu Hongye. place."
Back then, Ji Wuchen's wife Fu Hongye was killed by Chao Qianbo in a surprise attack on the battlefield of immortals and demons. In order to avenge his deceased wife, Ji Wuchen went to the Demon Dynasty to assassinate her enemy. Later, although he succeeded by luck, he died and became a sword spirit.
But he still has descendants in the Immortal Dynasty, and both he and An Ye know this.
"Master, don't be anxious. How can you find out who your ancestor is when you come up?"
Wang Anye comforted Ji Wuchen, and then smiled warmly at Ji Qianqian and said, "If Miss Qianqian doesn't mind it, why don't you sit down and have a chat? I happen to want to learn about the customs and customs of Chaoyang Prefecture from Miss Qianqian."
After Ji Qianqian agreed with a slight blush.
Wang Anye then asked someone to remove the leftovers, put a new table of delicious food, and sat down to eat with Ji Qianqian.
After some small talk, the two parties got to know each other a lot better.
Wang Anye mentioned inadvertently: "When I was in Dongqian before, I had the honor to look at the "Afterglow of the Divine Dynasty" by Master Ji. This painting is magnificent and has a sense of doomsday desolation of the fall of a generation of divine dynasties. It is really It’s a masterpiece. When I travel to Chaoyang Prefecture this time, I want to visit Master Ji’s former residence.”
"Picture of the afterglow of the Divine Dynasty?" Ji Qianqian's expression suddenly became extremely complicated, and she opened her mouth as if she was hesitant to speak.
"Miss Qianqian was born in the Ji family, is she a descendant of Master Ji?" Wang Anye asked pretending to be casual.
"This... Mr. Anye is telling the truth." Ji Qianqian bit her lip lightly, and couldn't help but look gloomy when talking about this matter, "The Master Ji you mentioned is indeed the ancestor. It's just that "The Afterglow of the Divine Dynasty"... Alas, Those are ancestral treasures, and as descendants, we should keep them safe, but our Ji family has fallen into decline, and in order to cultivate outstanding children in the family, we have to sell many ancestral treasures, which is really shameful to say."
"Ah, sorry, sorry, it's Wang Menglang." Wang Anye apologized with his hands in hand.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter~" Ji Qianqian waved her hands, but her eyes became firm, "A big family is just like the tide of the sea, it rises and falls. After Young Master said it, at least Qianqian knew where the treasure of our ancestors had gone. Dungan Country, when I make enough money in the future, I want to go to Dungan to redeem my ancestors’ treasures at a high price.”
"Forehead……"
Wang Anye's eyes were tangled. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should tell her that the picture of her family was actually...
"This girl does have some of my style back then." Ji Wuchen didn't care about this. He was still immersed in the excitement of seeing his descendant. He was also quite satisfied with Ji Qianqian's performance and happily dispatched his treasure. Disciple, "An Ye, please chat with her more."
"Yes, Master."
Master finally saw his descendant again, Wang Anye naturally would not refuse this request.
However, to avoid misunderstanding, he specifically pointed out the fact that he already has two loving wives and even grandchildren during the chat.
Ji Qianqian also didn't expect the Donggan people to get married so early.
In the Immortal Dynasty, those with low qualifications are ignored. Those geniuses with higher qualifications and potential often do not get married easily.
Moreover, the more outstanding a genius is, the later he or she gets married.
Especially among the princesses of the Immortal Dynasty, there are many who have not yet gotten married when they reach the magical realm.
After all, the higher the qualifications, the faster the cultivation speed. The qualifications of the princesses of the Immortal Dynasty are all at the peerless genius level, and they will basically become heavenly beings before they are thirty. After reaching the Heavenly Realm, the pregnancy rate will plummet. In fact, there is not that much difference in getting married a few years earlier and later. Most princesses simply spend more time to choose and find one that suits them better. My favorite prince-in-law.
As for the Immortal Palace disciples like Ji Qianqian, they have already broken through to the seventh level of the Heavenly Realm at the age of 140 or 50. Among the many disciples of the Immortal Palace, they are still considered to be young girls in their prime.
After being slightly disappointed, Ji Qianqian calmed down her emotions and began to discuss the art of swordsmanship with Wang Anye.
Wang Anye is indeed extremely talented in swordsmanship. When he was still a young boy, he understood the rudimentary sword intention of "The Infinite Sea" with a stick of incense on the beach.
To Wang Anye's surprise, Ji Qianqian was not weak in swordsmanship, and she was also a core disciple of the Immortal Palace's [Purple Void Holy Land].
Wang Anye knew that Zixu Holy Land was a holy land founded by Zixu Sword Lord, who was famous all over the world. This holy land specializes in swordsmanship, and all the disciples it recruits are disciples with swordsmanship talents.
Under Ji Wuchen's "urge", Wang Anye kept asking about Ji Qianqian's experience in a circumstantial manner.
Ji Qianqian also had a good impression of Wang Anye and was not too defensive. Instead, Wang Anye quickly learned about her past.
Over the years, the third-grade Ji family has become increasingly declining. In this generation, just cultivating a magical species has already consumed too many of their resources, including the sale of the treasures left by their ancestors.
As a woman, Ji Qianqian had a good starting talent, but with limited support from her family, her qualifications could only reach the level of a second-level genius.
This kind of talent is certainly very good in the Dongqian Kingdom, but it is not very conspicuous in the Immortal Dynasty where monsters gather. Therefore, when she entered the Zixu Holy Land, she was just an elite disciple.
But she was not discouraged. After joining the Holy Land, with her own efforts and the excellent swordsmanship talent inherited from her ancestors, she gradually emerged, received key training, and even obtained an extremely precious seventh-grade holy pill [Tianmai]. Holy elixir].
With the help of this elixir, she successfully promoted her bloodline to the status of a great celestial being in the Heavenly Realm, and also successfully joined the ranks of the core disciples of the Purple Void Holy Land.
Don't underestimate the genius.
Although the Changning Wang family has a lot of great geniuses and peerless talents, the Wang family itself is a special case. After all, the wedding blood Gu and the bloodline improvement fluid are non-renewable resources, and one is used less than the other. Besides, there is no other force except the Wang family. Dare to use the Wedding Clothes Blood Gu as a regular resource.
In fact, even in the Immortal Dynasty, the Great Prodigy is considered to be the best among people. There is a high probability that he will achieve the realm of supernatural powers in the future, and he can already be called a big shot.
After all, quite a few of the second and third leaders in the state capital are still held by supernatural monks.
As for the Lingxu realm, how many Lingxu realms are there in the entire Immortal Dynasty? Which Lingxu realm is not a giant?
As the communication between the two deepened, the two gradually developed a feeling of sympathy for each other.
Whether in the Immortal Dynasty or in Daqian, there are actually relatively few pure sword cultivators. Even sword masters like Longyan Ancestor and Liu Ruolan are not pure sword cultivators.
This situation will arise because, first, the number of relevant scriptures and true method inheritance is scarce, and it is easy for subsequent practice methods to be missing.
Although in most cases, the potential of a Xuanwu monk can be estimated at the beginning of practice, but who doesn't think that when they are young and frivolous, they will encounter opportunities, be promoted, and reach the pinnacle of life? ?
Therefore, when given the choice, there are always very few monks who would choose to do pure sword cultivation.
Second, pure swordsmanship requires too much understanding.
Even with the assistance of the inheritance land, the inheritance of sword cultivators is still extremely challenging to one's understanding. There are some high-end sword cultivation methods that people with average understanding may not be able to get into. This threshold alone stopped countless people.
Therefore, as a minority group, sword cultivators always pay special attention to their own kind.
At least half of the reason Ji Qianqian had the courage to strike up a conversation with Wang Anye was because she saw that he was a swordsman.
After the Yunray flying boat docked in Chaoyang Prefecture, Ji Qianqian took the opportunity to invite Wang Anye to visit Ji's family.
Wang Anye, who originally wanted to explore the situation, naturally agreed.
The Ji family is considered an established family in Chaoyang Prefecture.
In every county and guard in Chaoyang Prefecture, there are farms and private properties belonging to the Ji family. However, a big family and a big business means a lot of consumption, and the descendants are not good at running things. Over the years, the family will naturally gradually decline.
Today, the Ji family only has one ancestor in the magical power realm, struggling to support the face of a third-grade family, and even maintaining the inheritance of magical powers is already a bit reluctant.
Such a situation is far worse than that of the Daqian Wang family during their lowest period.
However, after all, it is an old family that has been passed down for thousands of years. When the Ji family was at its peak, it once coveted the lintel of a first-class family. Even if it is now in decline, the foundation of the main house built in its heyday is still there. In terms of scale, it is still It is something that the newly promoted third-grade aristocratic families cannot achieve.
The towering walls surrounding the huge main house stretch all the way along the undulating plains. It is endless as far as the eye can see. From a distance, it is really spectacular.
Once inside the wall, the dense buildings are even more densely packed, making it even more lively and prosperous.
According to Ji Qianqian, when the Ji family was at its peak, the main residence alone was as big as three or five towns combined. For convenience, the interior was divided into five districts: southeast, northwest, and central. However, a considerable part of the main house on the periphery has been demolished and reclaimed as farmland. The scope of the fence has also been reduced and reduced. The main house is no longer 50% of its size at that time.
But even so, it's still spectacular.
However, in the end, only a shelf remained, which could not bear to be looked at closely. Due to lack of repairs, a considerable part of the main building complex has become increasingly mottled, and even the huge walls seem to have not been repaired for some years.
Whether a family is prosperous or declining can sometimes be inferred by looking at its main residence.
In any family, the main house is the most important thing.
If the family had money, they would surely renovate the main house from time to time, or even expand the scope of the main house, and the repairs would be very careful and meticulous. Of course, the money spent would never be small, and all of this money would have to come from the family property.
But if it can't even repair the main house and it looks dilapidated, it means that there is really no money, and even the basic facade can hardly be maintained.
Although Wang Anye doesn't care much about the family business, he has heard these tips from Wang Shouzhe. Just looking at the situation of the main house, it is clear that Ji's finances are really tight, and he can hardly maintain his face.
The arrival of Wang Anye and his entourage did not cause much waves.
Although Ji Qianqian successfully became the core disciple of Zixu Holy Land in Immortal Palace, her identity and status in the family have greatly increased, but after all, she is only a junior, neither a direct lineage nor a main lineage, and her cultivation level is still in the realm of heaven and human. .
Of course, the most important point is that Wang Anye's "background is too small."
Just imagine, a local aristocratic family in Donggan Kingdom can only survive the fourth or fifth grade. How could the Ji family take him seriously and treat him as an extremely distinguished guest?
In other words, for Ji Qianqian's sake, after meeting Wang Anye, the head of the family arranged for him a house and a junior responsible for entertaining him according to the family's etiquette.
Of course, the main reason why Wang Anye did not reveal his identity as "Ji Wuchen's personal disciple" when he first came up was because of the request of his master Ji Wuchen.
The old man wanted to observe the Ji family from a relatively low perspective and understand the real situation of the Ji family.
But it would be fine if he didn't observe it, but once he observed it, he was so angry that he was so angry.
It's okay for the Ji family to be poor. After all, ebbs and flows are common. No one can guarantee that their family will always be prosperous. However, the Ji family's morale is also quite low. Many young members of the family are just getting by, and few are truly motivated.
Many young people have little ability of their own and have fallen into the bad habit of idleness and hanging out with their friends.
"It's shameful, it's really shameful." Ji Wuchen was so angry that he complained, "What kind of virtue does everyone have from top to bottom? Except for a limited number of juniors who are a little bit decent, the rest of the tribe has long since Without spirit, where is the true character of the Ji family? No wonder even the treasures passed down by our ancestors can be sold for nothing."
Wang Anye was also speechless for a while.
Previously, I thought that I would find a way to help Ji after I got the Sword Formation Dual Skills Book, but I never thought that Ji would actually make herself look like this decadent now.
Under such circumstances, even Wang Anye dared not say that he could help Ji's family get out of trouble.
After all, the development of aristocratic families has never depended on one person or one resource. If you are not ambitious enough, no matter how much resources you spend, you will not be able to fill this bottomless hole.
As the saying goes, "Rescue the emergency but not the poor", it is not without reason that the Ji family has declined to this point.
After observing Ji's condition, Wang Anye immediately told Ji Qianqian that he wanted to meet Ji Yuanxing, the ancestor of the Ji family. He didn't wait any longer, and was ready to have a direct showdown with the opponent, and then go to Ji's forbidden land to inherit the Sword Formation Dual Secret Book.
"Since Mr. An Ye has requested it, Qianqian should take care of this matter." Although Ji Qianqian was a little embarrassed, she still agreed.
While he was talking, something unexpected happened.
A burst of hearty and majestic laughter was heard from the main entrance of the Ji family's house: "Where is the ancestor of Yuanxing? Yao came to visit, and I hope to take the time to meet you."
That sound seemed to contain a divine power from heaven. In people's ears, it rumbled in the sea of consciousness, making people's hearts tremble like drums, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
"Lingxu realm monk?"
Wang Anye's face condensed slightly.
Given Ji's current situation, it would be difficult for her to establish a relationship with a Lingxu realm monk. What's more, Lingxujing, who calls himself "Yao", didn't even inform him in advance. He just came up to the door of the house and looked like he was going to bully others, which made it clear that the person who came was evil.
And Wang Anye was obviously not the only one who realized this.
For a moment, the entire Ji family fell into a dead silence, and even the sound of the wind whistling between heaven and earth became extremely clear.
More than ten breaths later, an old laugh came from the depths of the inner house and said: "It turns out that Prince Chaoyang has arrived. I'm sorry to hear you come from afar. I apologize."
At the same time as the words rang out, the figure of an old man with white beard and hair had already crossed the sky like a thunderbolt and landed at the main door, posing as a greeting.
The figure was dressed in a black sword-sleeved robe, with a slim figure and a somewhat fairy-like temperament. It was Ji Yuanxing, the ancestor of the Ji family.
The remaining six or seven elders of the Ji family in the Purple Mansion Realm who were in the main house also ran out of their respective retreats and hurriedly flew to the main entrance to greet him.
"Prince Chaoyang?" Wang Anye looked at the movement at the door from a distance and asked with some doubts, "Could it be that one?"
"That's right." Ji Qianqian's face was also solemn, "From what the ancestor said, this person must be Yao Yuangang, the husband of the famous Chaoyang King, Yao Zhenjun."
Wang Anye had little impression of Yao Yuangang, but the name "Chaoyang King" was like thunder in his ears.
This Chaoyang King was once a princess of the Immortal Dynasty, and was named "Princess Chaoyang". Later, she was promoted to Lingxu Realm, and the princess title was automatically promoted to "King". She is one of the few strong people in the late Lingxu Realm in the Immortal Dynasty. one.
When he was in the Wang family, he often heard Emperor Longchang mention this "Chaoyang King", saying that she was a famous female war goddess of the Immortal Dynasty. She once led the Immortal Dynasty legion to kill foreigners on the battlefield with one shot and one shot. The demon cries for father and mother, and is truly one of the pillars of humanity.
Such a talented and stunning person who shocked the world, even Emperor Longchang, Holy Master Jiang and the others would be respectful and respectful when they encountered him, not even daring to take a breath.
"Senior Yao was born in Hanyue Yipin Yao family. When he was young, he followed King Chaoyang who was Princess Chaoyang back then. Together they opened Princess Chaoyang Mansion and made great achievements together. Later, Senior Yao became the princess's consort." Ji Qianqian knew that Wang Anye was not an immortal. The court official immediately told him the origin of Yao Chenggang.
"Because Princess Chaoyang was born at the wrong time, and the Immortal Emperor never had any accidents, so after she cultivated to Lingxu Realm, she was named Chaoyang King in accordance with the laws and conventions of the Immortal Dynasty, and Senior Yao naturally became Prince Chaoyang."
Nowadays, there are only four princesses in the Immortal Dynasty, but in fact, since the Immortal Emperor came to the world, how could there be only four princesses? It's just that once the princess reaches the age and reaches the Lingxu realm, she will be promoted from princess to "king", and she will also lose the qualification to inherit the position of Immortal Emperor.
Those princesses who existed when the Immortal Emperor was young were more useful in preventing accidents. If anything happened to the Immortal Emperor, there would be no shortage of heirs.
"Senior Yao, why did he come to Ji's family?" Ji Qianqian was very surprised. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, her face changed slightly and said, "No, I'm afraid the news has been leaked."
After saying that, she quickly rushed towards the VIP room, and Wang Anye followed closely, walking side by side with her.
As soon as the two of them arrived in front of the VIP room, they heard a suppressed roar from the ancestor of the Ji family: "Prince Yao, how can you make such an exorbitant request?"
"Your Chaoyang Palace has two Lingxu realms. You can let your children inherit one at will."
Even if he was extremely angry, the ancestor of the Ji family did not dare to curse.
"Ancestor Yuanxing, please don't be angry. Our Chaoyang Palace does have two Lingxu Collections." Yao Yuangang said calmly, "But you also understand that Chaoyang's Collection is a public collection of the Immortal Dynasty royal family, and it is only the collection of the past dynasties. A special manual that only princesses can practice."
"And this treasure book of mine originally belonged to the Yao family. Now that I am old, I should naturally return it to the Yao family. How can I keep it in the Chaoyang Palace?"
The ancestor of Ji's family's face is darkened. We have combined your family's treasure book and each has another family. Are you here to steal my Ji family's treasure book?
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Yao Yuangang continued to persuade, "Original Yuanxing, you know exactly what your Ji family's situation is now. Instead of begging for food with a golden rice bowl, it is better to exchange for astronomical resources. You also know , Our Chaoyang family has never been stingy."
The ancestor of the Ji family took a few deep breaths and said angrily: "Prince Yao, let me ask you, how did your Chaoyang Palace know that our family has a treasure book? No one else in our family knows about it except the core members."
"Haha, this, your little brother Ji Yanchang and our child Yu Tai'an are close friends, and we let it slip for a while."
"Ji Yanchang, you evil beast, you are so brave." The ancestor of the Ji family almost didn't get angry to death and roared on the spot.
"Ancestor, how much resources has our family spent on inheriting that damn Sword Formation Book from ancient times to the present?" A 'young man' also responded angrily, "Also, Ji Yanxiu and I are about the same age and have about the same qualifications. Why can he take the 'Seventh Grade Tianmai Holy Pill' and be promoted to a great genius? But I, Ji Yanchang, can only be a genius forever?"
"You idiot, the family can only afford one great genius." The ancestor of the Ji family scolded angrily.
"I don't accept it. If I can become a great genius, maybe I can inherit the double skills of sword formation." The face of the young man named Ji Yanchang was a little distorted. "Why, why should I sacrifice for Ji Yanxiu? Why should Ji Yanxiu?" Qianqian also wants to sacrifice for him? Why did she give birth to that loser, and she failed!"
"Now Chaoyang Palace will not take our treasure book in vain. They will give us huge compensation. Then the family will not be short of money and I can become a great genius."
"What an evil beast, what an evil beast." The ancestor of the Ji family looked up to the sky and sighed.
Wang Anye was also stunned when he heard that someone was betraying the family's interests and doing so so confidently...
But Ji's disaster is not over yet.
I heard another rumble of thunder from the door: "Ancestor Yuanxing, Mr. Wei is here to visit. Please take the time to meet me."
…
