Chapter 253
"This is...good!"
Zhao Jingrou didn't react much to Xu Mu's excessive request. She hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
She thought that Xu Mu wanted to use Zhao Yan's background to be justified, otherwise even if she came forward, it would be somewhat inappropriate.
It's just that Yan'er has been wronged and has to live as a widow for several years.
She didn't believe that Xu Mu was still so heroic at such an old age.
But it's not all bad. With this level of identity, Yan'er can easily control the family. It would be great if she could please Xu Mu, get resource support, and advance to foundation building.
"I don't like to force people. If she doesn't want to, fellow Taoist fellow Taoist can also help me change another one." Xu Mu said.
His idea was similar to what Zhao Jingrou guessed. He really wanted to use the name of Zhao Yan's direct lineage to control Zhao more easily.
As for the body, he can definitely fight twenty!
After the negotiation was completed, the two chatted for a long time. Xu Mu learned more details about the cultivation world in Chizhou Prefecture from Zhao Jingrou, and also had a certain understanding of the situation in the Dayuan Dynasty.
After learning that Xu Mu was an alchemist, Zhao Jingrou was even more pleasantly surprised, but considering Xu Mu's age, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
However, I felt a little better when I thought that Xu Mu would not have agreed to her if he wasn't too old.
In the days that followed, while the Zhao family was preparing for the wedding, Zhao Jingrou took Xu Mu to visit various forces and families in Chizhou Prefecture, especially those in the Zhangxian Division.
Without the approval of the Palm Immortal Division, it would be difficult for him to hold the position of Supreme Elder.
Fortunately, the Palm Immortal Division is very relaxed about this aspect. As long as the spiritual stone is given to you and me, you will naturally not interfere in your own affairs.
This was also Xu Mu's first time coming into contact with the behemoth Zhangxian Division.
Judging from the style of the Palm Immortal Division, although it is a bit rotten, it is not rotten to the core. Maybe you can consider handing over the corpses of those tribulation cultivators in exchange for contribution points.
The dozen or so tribulation cultivators he killed were all well-known thieves in the Palm Immortal Division, and as long as they were called up, they could get a lot of contribution points.
These contribution values are similar to those of the sect. Not only can they be directly exchanged for various treasures and techniques, but they can also be exchanged for titles.
This title has great uses, the most important of which is to establish a family and sect. Without a title, you cannot establish a family or sect.
Depending on the title, the size and number of the sect are also limited.
The titles are ranked according to the prince, prince and son. A family like the Zhao family must have the title of viscount.
Fortunately, this title can be inherited, otherwise it would be difficult for many families to get it together.
However, there are also restrictions. On the one hand, it can only be inherited by people from the same family. On the other hand, this title can only last for a hundred years. After a hundred years, it must be redeemed again. If it is not redeemed, it will be downgraded.
For example, the viscount of the Zhao family will become a baron, and will be reduced to a commoner in a hundred years.
This rule also forces all families and sects to contribute to the Dayuan Dynasty every day, otherwise they can only become a black family like the Divine Gu Valley. The Palm Immortal Division can destroy them at any time as long as they are willing.
The tribulation cultivators Xu Mu killed could at least be exchanged for the title of two or three counts. If it works well, it is not impossible to change them to marquis.
"It's better to endure it for the time being! Anyway, those are corpses and they won't be damaged for a while!"
After all, it was his first time here, so Xu Mu still felt that it was not too late to take action before taking another look to make sure everything was in order.
The day of the wedding came in a blink of an eye, and all the families in Chizhou Prefecture, large and small, came to congratulate them. Even the headmaster of Chizhou Prefecture gave a gift.
Although in private everyone's brains are about to be knocked out, but after all, we are civilized people and we still have to do something superficial.
The wedding went smoothly. For Xu Mu, who had the identity of an alchemist and had a record of killing the master of the Divine Gu Valley, no one would look for trouble openly as long as he was not stupid.
And Xu Mu didn't take such a person seriously. How could he, a great monk with the peak combat power of the Golden Core, care about a group of foundation-building families? Taking charge of the Zhao family was just a transition for him.
After the guests had dispersed, Xu Mu returned to the bridal chamber, where Zhao Yan was sitting pretty.
Her red lips are private, and her skin is as white as jade, like a stroke of thick ink on rice paper.
"senior!"
Zhao Yan stood up respectfully and wanted to offer her tea.
Although the two are already married, anyone with a discerning eye knows that she is just a pendant.
Although I feel sad, I have no choice but to do so. This is the fate of the children of a wealthy family.
If she is not willing, Zhao Jingrou will not force her. There are many people in the family who are willing to marry Xu Mu, but she will definitely exclude them completely in the future. Not to mention improving her cultivation level, whether she can maintain her current cultivation level is a question.
If this opportunity is seized by other tribesmen, their tribe will never be able to rise again.
The reason why she was attacked this time was revealed by people in the family, and it was originally intended to attack their branch.
Fighting within the family and fighting outside the family is one of the reasons for the decline of all families.
If she can't curry favor with Xu Mu, given the current situation of the Zhao family, Zhao Jingrou will never help her make the decision, because the Zhao family can no longer withstand the hassle.
But now, as she agreed to marry Xu Mu, those clan members who had colluded with outsiders to cause harm have disappeared quietly.
As for where he went, you don't have to guess.
Therefore, both emotionally and rationally, she had to serve Xu Mu well and hug this thigh tightly to prevent any accidents.
This is also what Zhao Jingrou has asked many times.
Facing Xu Mu, Zhao Yan was less like a wife and more like a personal maid.
"Don't worry about it!" Xu Mu waved his hand, stopping Zhao Yan from fetching water to wash his feet.
"Come up and rest early!" Xu Mu said.
"ah?"
Zhao Yan's face changed between white and red, and her body trembled slightly.
Didn’t our ancestors say that such a thing would never happen?
Does this old guy have any quirks?
Although he was very resistant in his heart, he had to obey. He could only grit his teeth and hold on, hoping that Xu Mu would not go too far.
Seeing Zhao Yan with her eyes closed and looking aggrieved, Xu Mu couldn't help but laugh, and with a wave of his hand, the room darkened.
Zhao Jingrou, who was watching all this from a distance, sighed deeply.
Yan'er, I feel wronged to you!
…
In the room, Zhao Yan's future humiliation did not appear.
Did she know that Xu Mu was an alchemist!
After a long time, the clouds cleared and the mist dispersed, and I fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion.
