C559 Decline
Now that they had a place to stay, Li Jun's first desire was to have Elder Jian, this elder who did not have much longevity, to raise his cultivation level and increase his longevity.
And just like this, on the peak of a mountain of Profound Sky Sword Sect, under the accumulation of limitless amounts of resources, everyone made their breakthroughs.
And today, at noon, Wu Xiaofeng headed towards sect master, Jian Shengxu, and there were only two people in the palace.
He then smiled and said, "Martial Nephew, looking at your glowing face today, you're in a good mood. Martial Uncle has something to discuss with you."
When sect master heard this, Jian Shengxu also smiled and said: "Is there anything I can help you with? There's no need for us to be so courteous. As long as Martial Nephew is able to help us, we are definitely duty-bound. "
What a joke. He, sect master, had been a part of the show for a while now, so he knew exactly what to say and what not to say.
Even the Patriarch of Wu Family scolded loudly in his heart: "As expected of a fox spirit, how crafty and ruthless."
However, he was here to propose marriage for his illegitimate child. No matter how unhappy he was, it would not leak out.
"Actually, it's like this. This kid, Qin Ping, is Martial Uncle's last disciple, only 22 or 23 years old, and he has already broken through to the peak of the early stage of Genuine Tyrant Stage, and now that he touched Middle Period Cultivator's wall, he can break through very quickly. He and Ruolan grew up together since young, and they both have innate Spirit Root s, and they are considered outstanding existences among the young generation of the sect.
It was full of cultivation resources. It was enough for ten cultivators at the fifth level of Heavy Wheel Stage to cultivate all the way to the realm of half a step into Heavenly Yang Stage Expert's realm.
Even though the Profound Sky Sword Sect, sect master and Jian Shengxu, swept across the Power of Spirit Senses, they also frowned.
"Wu Martial Uncle, this is not something that Martial Nephew can decide, not even Xiao Chuan can do it. You know that Ruolan has been spoiled since she was young, and she can't do it on her own, if Qin Ping could pursue her, we, as the elders, would not object, but Martial Nephew really can't do it, but this is something you can discuss with the girl, but I can't guarantee it." Jian Shengxu also responded.
Honestly speaking, he was a little tempted. If he was related to Wu Family, then how could Hu's's bloodline be a match for his two families? It would be hard for him to breathe even if he was being suppressed.
If the Wu family and Hu's were to work together, then the life of the Jian's faction would also be very difficult. Even if Jian Shengxu was sect master, it would not be so, because they lacked a Patriarch, and currently, there was only one Grand Sage Ancestor in the Profound Sky Sword Sect, and that was Liu Tie.
Thinking of this, sect master, Jian Shengxu's heart was filled with melancholy, but he still tried his best to act relaxed. Only then, did he send his son Jian Baichuan, his wife Wu Mei, and his granddaughter Jian Ruolan over. No matter what they were doing, they all had to put down what they were doing and come forward to Main Hall to discuss about the important matters.
Then, he said lightly: "Martial Uncle, hurry up and put away the Dimensional Ring. Later, Martial Nephew will start to probe. Please bring out the betrothal gift to Ruolan and Xiao Chuan. Come, come, let's drink some tea and chat about family matters."
When Wu Xiaofeng heard this, he was also aggrieved in his heart. As the proverbs said, "The words of the media, the orders of the parents, and the marriage, how could it be child's play. It is the elders who decide."
If it was really love each other, then why would he, Martial Uncle, come find Jian Shengxu? He went straight to Jian Baichuan and his wife.
However, he still held onto that last sliver of hope. After all, for the sake of his son's happiness for the rest of his life, he had to endure it while gritting his teeth.
In less than half a cup of tea's time, the couple brought their daughter, Jian Ruolan, into the main hall hastily …
Jian Baichuan was just about to ask his father what was the matter when he hurriedly stopped himself from speaking. "Greetings to ancestor Martial Uncle, Wu Mei and Ruolan pay their respects as soon as possible."
The three of them bowed, then couldn't help but ask, "Father, why did you send a mental message asking your son and his family of three to come here?"
Jian Baichuan also held a lot of power in his position as an elder of the sect. Of course, he was clear that if his father had sent a sound transmission to him alone, why would this Wu Xiaofeng, Liu Dingzu, be here?
There was a high chance that calling them here was related to him.
"Cough cough cough, Ruolan, this girl, you're already grown up without me realizing it, and she's also becoming more and more intelligent, simply becoming the number one beauty in my Profound Sky Sword Sect younger generation. Today, Sun Dingzu came here to propose marriage for Zhou Tie, he has been obsessed with you since he was young, and his feelings for you can be said to be easily seen by everyone. I wonder if Ruolan …" Before Elder Wu Tai and Liu Shuwei could open their mouths, he had already explained everything clearly in advance.
"Martial Uncle has praised it so well. To be honest, since young, Ruolan has always treated Senior Brother Qin Ping like a big brother, and has never had any thoughts about him. Since he is still young, the cultivation level is too young, and he has yet to consider the matter of his Dao-companion. Please forgive him."
Although her parents and grandfather, including the Supreme Elder Wu Xiaofeng at the side, had already mentally prepared themselves, they could not help but be shocked by Jian Ruolan's eloquent speech, and did not know how to react to it.
"Hmph, if that's the case, then this old man will be rude. Farewell." With that, Great Elder Wu coldly snorted, flicked his sleeves, and left.
One must know that although on the surface, he was extremely strict with his last disciple, in private, anything that this illegitimate child asked for would be met within his rights.
He miscalculated this time. Logically speaking, Jian Shengxu shouldn't have rejected him. Seems like he only has Qin Ping's authority. Let him give up on that thought.
But humans, even like this, are easy to obtain. The more unconcerned, the less satisfied, the more unobtainable, the tighter one holds onto something, the more disappointed one would be. What one cannot obtain is the best.1
In Qin Ping's eyes, Jian Ruolan, this Junior, had definitely taken a fancy to that pretty boy. That was why he did not care much about his Senior, Jian Ruolan.
However, this was just a small interlude. No one would have thought that a small matter like this would actually become the spark that ignited the disintegration and betrayal of the Profound Sky Sword Sect.
Ruolan now, you have truly offended all of my Wu Family. In the future, I will bring down the sword! The days of our line won't be so easy. I hope it's not that serious. "Jian Shengxu sighed.
