Chapter 2241 Engaged Chen Yue

Ling Tian was so happy that he hugged his daughter and spun around twice.

Children are so easy and simple to satisfy, Xiao Linlin laughed loudly with joy, and for a while, the courtyard seemed to be filled with a warm feeling.

"Little heartless, as soon as your father came back, he threw my sister aside, and my sister loved you for nothing." Chen Yue gave Xiao Linlin an angry look, but the smile in her eyes betrayed her thoughts up.

Xiao Linlin replied without hesitation: "Dad is back, of course I want to kiss him." As she spoke, she timidly kissed Ling Tian on the cheek, causing Chen Yue's mother to cover her mouth and chuckle.

Although the old lady is not young, her demeanor is very elegant, and she has received a good education.

"I have caused trouble for the old lady these two days, and a small gift is not a respect."

Since Ling Tian came here, of course he thought about what would happen to see Chen Yue's parents. Gifts are indispensable, not to mention, their daughter Chen Yue has been working hard with Xiao Linlin for the past two days. Ling Tian has to express it no matter what.

He chose a 30-40 year old wild ginseng.

This thing is only the lowest level among the medicinal materials collected by the ancestors of the He family, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is already an extremely rare and precious medicinal material.

It's not that Ling Tian is reluctant to part with those medicinal materials that are hundreds of years old, it's just that it's not necessary after careful consideration.

A trace of surprise flashed in Chen Yue's mother's eyes, she obviously recognized the extraordinaryness of this gift, and said politely: "You are too kind, everyone has a time when they can't get away, Xiao Linlin is very cute, just right My daughter is on vacation now, and it's just a small gesture. This gift is too expensive for us to accept."

Uncle Li's eyes fell on the old mountain ginseng, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he said: "The old sister-in-law should take it, it is a good life-saving thing, an old mountain ginseng is very important to my nephew It’s nothing to say. Brother, look at this old mountain ginseng, it’s probably nearly fifty years old.”

The silver-haired Chen Yue's father smiled heartily, and pointed to Uncle Li with a smile: "You, you, just refuse to admit defeat and want to change the subject. But your words are good, this little brother, this old mountain Ginseng can be said to be priceless, we really can’t accept it.”

Ling Tian laughed so hard that he didn't speak, but instead put the old mountain ginseng into Xiao Linlin's hands.

Xiao Linlin immediately took it obediently, and ran to Chen Yue's mother's side, "Grandma Chen, Dad gave it to you to make up your body, so you can take care of it. Your body is so good that you can give it to Xiao Lin." Lin cooks more delicious food."

Tong Yan Tong Yu filled the courtyard with laughter, and Ling Tian continued with a smile: "Uncle and Aunt, let's take it. Having such a life-saving thing at home can always add some peace of mind. Besides, I don't need it." To such a thing. My uncle's health is also very good, and it would be a waste to put it in his place."

A trace of heartbeat flashed in Chen Yue's mother's eyes. Indeed, this thing is a good thing that even the rich can't buy. Although their family can be regarded as a small fortune, but if they really want to buy such a ginseng plant, I am afraid that even the villa You have to sell them all in exchange for one plant.

More importantly, Chen Yue's father is not young after all, so it is inevitable that there will be a dilemma. This thing is really a good thing that can't be bought at that time.

She looked like her own old man with a questioning look, but Chen Yue's father still shook his head with a resolute smile.

"Dad, Mom, you don't have to push around, just accept it. Isn't it just a ginseng plant, what's the big deal?"

On the contrary, Chen Yue said carelessly, she was more reminded of the little embarrassment between Ling Tian and Ling Tian at the beginning, and she probably didn't mean to make Ling Tian bleed.

Uncle Li persuaded from the side: "My brother's health is very good now, and I don't even have a headache or fever. If I really get sick, it's not as strong as those perennial sick jars. My brother still accepts this old plant. Ginseng."

"Hehe, Lao Li, it's not that you don't know my character, it's really inappropriate."

Chen Yue's father still spoke unhurriedly, and slowly picked up the teacup.

Martial Uncle Li stared, "What's inappropriate? We've become a family. At most, it's just my nephew giving Xiaoyue and my bastard a wedding gift in advance."

Ling Tian's heart moved: "Uncle Shi, you mean that Li Hu and Chen Yue have a marriage contract?"

Uncle Li happily replied: "That's right, the engagement was just made two days ago. Brother Chen is very rigid and never accepts expensive gifts, but you are not an outsider, so just treat it as an early congratulatory gift."

"Congratulations, congratulations! When will you treat me to a wedding candy? Xiao Linlin and I will have a pocket full of wedding candies." Ling Tian smiled and teased Chen Yue, while doing a gesture of pocketing his clothes.

Chen Yue rolled her eyes and glared at Ling Tian.

Chen Yue's father pondered for a moment, then he let go, and nodded to Chen Yue's mother: "Xiao Rong, please accept this ginseng plant properly."

While speaking, Chen Yue's father looked at Ling Tian carefully, as if he wanted to remember Ling Tian's appearance, his eyes stayed on Ling Tian for a long time before he nodded.

After sitting for a while, it was almost time for dinner.

Ling Tian and Uncle Li originally planned to say goodbye, but Chen Yue's parents said they wanted to stay Ling Tian for dinner, so they didn't refuse in the end.

During this period, Li Hu called once, saying that he would not come back for dinner.

The reconstruction work of the martial arts hall has entered the right track, but he doesn't need to watch over the construction site, but there are too many things to deal with in the past few days, and Li Hu seems quite busy. I'm afraid even if he comes back, with Li Hu's dullness, he won't dare go to his future father-in-law's house for a while.

After dinner, Xiao Linlin yawned continuously, feeling drowsy, and her eyelids kept fighting.

Ling Tian quickly apologized, and carried away the drowsy little Linlin first.

Not long after, Uncle Li returned to the villa with a solemn expression, looking at Ling Tian hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something.

The two of them left the bedroom where Xiao Linlin was sleeping, and came to Martial Uncle Li's study room. In fact, Martial Uncle Li rarely came to this study. In recent years, Li Hu was almost always here to deal with some martial arts affairs, and Uncle Li was more often, The choice is to practice in the practice room.

Ling Tian also happened to have something to communicate with Uncle Li. The downfall of the He family not only affected ordinary people, but also had a great impact on the hermit sect like him.

"Young sect master..."

"Uncle Li..."

The two spoke almost at the same time, and their tone couldn't help but pause at the same time.

"Uncle Li, you go first."

Uncle Li was not polite either, and immediately said: "Sect master, what can you gain from going out this time? The current situation of the He family is not very good... Now we can only find some disciples from the collateral line, those disciples from the direct line of the He family Has not been seen for a long time, moved a lot of funds, has been discovered by ordinary people."

"The old ancestor of the He family is dead, and the downfall of the He family is a foregone conclusion. Only some disciples of the He family who have been arranged in advance have become leaked fish, and there is no need to pay too much attention. Uncle Li, what is left behind by the downfall of the He family this time?" Blank, I wonder if we can take part of it?"

Ling Tian said with certainty, after all, no one knows the truth of this matter better than him, what Ling Tian is concerned about is what the downfall of the He family will bring to his sect.

Martial Uncle Li couldn't believe it and asked: "Young Clan Master, you mean, the ancestor of the He family is already dead?"

"Yes, he did die in the ancient tomb."

Ling Tian did not say that he died at his own hands. Although he believed that Uncle Li would not tell this matter, the less people knew about it, the less trouble Ling Tian would have. The crazy eyes of the disciples of the He family whose ancestor died, they blew themselves up without hesitation, the madness without fear of life and death.

Ling Tian himself is not afraid of the He family's revenge, but too many people around him have no ability to resist at all. Even with the protection of the jade talisman, if it penetrates everywhere, there will inevitably be possible crises.

Ling Tian naturally wanted to nip this possibility in the bud.

Martial Uncle Li sighed softly, as if feeling a little emotional about the death of the ancestor of the He family.

Ling Tian didn't disturb Li Shishu's thinking, but sat there quietly waiting for Li Shishu's answer. He believed that Li Shishu must have a good vision when his old master put Li Shishu in a very important stronghold in the capital. place.

It turned out that his guess was correct.

Uncle Li just thought about it for a while, then pointed out the benefits and losses involved, and analyzed it to Ling Tian in detail.

"Young sect master, the downfall of the He family has undoubtedly caused a serious chain reaction. Almost all the basic political power of the Celestial Dynasty is in the hands of the eight major families. It can be said that it is deeply entrenched, intertwined, and cannot be shaken easily. The He family If we disappear, the people below will be panic-stricken. If we can find a spokesperson for the power at the top, we can immediately accept the political power left by the He family, and maybe have the opportunity to support the power of the family that secretly took refuge in us..."

Uncle Li talked endlessly, Ling Tian was dumbfounded.

It seemed that Uncle Li became more and more excited as he spoke, so Ling Tian had to interrupt him weakly: "Well, Uncle Li, how many outer disciples are there in our sect?"

Uncle Li's words stopped abruptly, and he replied embarrassingly: "There are only three outer disciples in our generation, and there are no outer disciples in your generation, and the head of the sect did not accept them. The highest political spokesperson is only the head of a county." , there is no one who even controls the city.”

Ling Tian was dumbfounded, no wonder the old man nestled in a small mountain village, he had to pick the medicinal materials that he had washed the marrow and cut the fur by himself, this is the smallest hermit sect in the Celestial Dynasty, and it really lived up to its name, with two or three cats, big and small, similar to the ancient warrior hermit The names of the sects of the world do not match completely.

Ling Tian frowned, and sighed softly: "The old man is too irresponsible. If he had been more diligent back then, the sect would not have fallen to such an extent."

Uncle Li didn't answer Ling Tian's words. Ling Tian said that there was no problem with his words, but he, an outer disciple, couldn't blame the sect master. Instead, what he said vaguely seemed to defend Ling Tian's master.

"Actually, this matter has little to do with the sect master's senior brother. The sect masters of all generations are all masters outside the world, and they don't pay much attention to the common things in the world."

Ling Tian curled his lips, what kind of out-of-the-world expert, even with the old man's current strength, he still needs to eat and drink. It sounds nice to be called an out-of-the-world expert, but in fact they all have a common problem, that is, they are too lazy.

This is the answer in Ling Tian's heart.

Ling Tian didn't bother with this issue, and after pondering for a while, he said: "We can eat as much as we have a big stomach. Look at Master, what we are doing now is developing step by step, and it is not easy to become fat with one bite." So realistic."

"Actually, there is another way to get the most benefit. That is to win over some neutral ordinary officials and let them be used by us. It's just that they are not as reassuring as the people we have cultivated since childhood. Today they can succumb to our power , tomorrow a more powerful hermit sect will appear, and it is very likely to strike us back."

Martial Uncle Li frowned and said this, now he feels a bit helpless for a good wife.

The face of Chen Yajie's father appeared in Ling Tian's mind, and he shook his head to expel him from his mind. It is said that as long as a person's impression has a little addiction, it will be magnified many times invisibly in his heart.

"Forget it, let's take the high-level route like other ancient warrior hermit sects. As long as I can achieve amazing results in this year's rookie league competition, our sect's interests will naturally be indispensable."

After Ling Tian finished speaking helplessly, he could only say that he had made up his mind.

He was not so arrogant as to talk about competing for the championship. Although Ling Tian thought that his strength was not inferior to that of his peers, he felt that it would be difficult for him to win the championship with the support of those hidden sects for so many years.

It's just that Ling Tian still couldn't help worrying that the He family's rebellion this time was undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to the ancient warriors of the high hidden world sect. Normal people's thoughts, in this case, will definitely strengthen the rule, and it is very likely that a new round of food-sharing feast will start.

It's a pity that Ling Tian's sect is the smallest hermit sect in the Celestial Dynasty. Maybe he might drink some soup and eat the most beautiful meat. ? That is naturally impossible. The most important thing for ancient warriors is their own strength. After all, everything is based on strength.

The two of them sat and sighed for a long time before they dispersed. Ling Tian discovered more and more that it really didn't happen overnight if he wanted to develop a sect.
