As long as there are enough vests, the plot can't kill me
Chapter 72: Women's Home
Time, move forward a little.
After Xiao Rou separated from her husband, she immediately sent a message to Commander Zhang, asking him to bring people directly into the city to prepare for any unexpected events.
After doing all this, she still felt uneasy, so she wanted to discuss how to deal with the situation with her parents and brother in person.
As a result, as soon as Mrs. Lin stepped into the house, she saw a scene that she would never forget.
Representatives of the three major sects, the heads of the ten noble families, and the rulers of the four super dynasties gathered in the main hall of the Lin family.
In fact, Mofeng City has a no-fly magic array, which was set up by Pavilion Master Mo himself. However, due to the power rules of the Great Thousand World, it was not activated before the official unveiling.
There are no restrictions on the formation, and this not-so-grand city is equivalent to being undefended to the powerful.
Xiao Rou had no idea when these people came to the house, but judging from her father's expression which had not yet adjusted, she knew that it must have been not long ago.
"Lin Xiaorou, greetings to all the seniors."
The extremely down-to-earth address made Old Man Xiao almost choke on his tea, and his mood immediately improved.
The straightforward and silly girl also learned to be scheming.
None of the big guys present were simple characters. After hearing Xiao Rou's self-introduction, the expressions on their faces were different.
Young Master Lin’s real name is Lin Xiao. Even a fool can tell some of Mrs. Lin’s personality from this name.
She is definitely not the kind of woman who puts her husband's family first and is no different from ordinary women.
"Hey, you see, Old Xiao is really lucky. He is already a venerable at the age of less than 400. That's amazing. Xiaorou, come and sit with me."
Situ Qing, the ruler of the Qiyue Dynasty, was the first to respond and express the dynasty's attitude.
Then, Patriarch He nodded and said cheerfully, "So my sister-in-law is already a venerable. Why don't you hold a grand ceremony? You are really low-key."
"It was just luck. I don't deserve the praise from the two seniors." Xiao Rou forced a smile and put herself in a very low position.
Since all the patriarchs of the Lin family came from the affairs faction and had limited talent, the frequency of changing patriarchs was much higher than that of other upper-class forces.
This also means that Lin Tianze is far inferior to those in the room in terms of age and status, like a child and an adult.
Being in the same space with these people, Xiao Rou felt tremendous pressure.
Lord Situ's intimate attitude as an elder and the term "brother-sister" from Lord He's mouth were considered a compliment to Mofeng City.
She felt from the bottom of her heart that this kind of occasion should be Xiao Xiao's specialty, and the important people were so polite probably because of her daughter.
The facts were pretty much as she thought. The reason these people gathered here and responded politely was indeed because they had a daughter who could give them seniority and status.
Once Zhichi comes out, no one can sit still.
As long as the so-called "base station" is set up in advance, this thing can instantly transmit messages regardless of cultivation level or region, and even realize cross-domain dialogue. Its practicality far exceeds that of communication talismans.
The old foxes saw through the strategic value behind Zhichi at a glance.
The word "artifact" is well deserved!
In the future, the presence or absence of this thing may very well become the deciding factor between the two forces.
Lin Xiao was born into a noble family. He made a deal with Alliance Leader He, who represented the interests of the noble families in the Cultivation Alliance, and gave the agency rights of Zhichi to the Daqian Dynasty. How do you expect the sect to react to this?
When the total amount of resources remains unchanged, one thing will decrease while another will increase. The strength of aristocratic families and dynasties is a disguised infringement on the interests of sects.
Faced with such a good thing, the sect must definitely take a piece of it.
Not only must it be divided, but it must also account for the majority.
It is not difficult to achieve this step. Just picking a disciple from the Wenxian Sect for marriage can save a lot of trouble.
In fact, Liu Wuyi and his partner were not just wandering around aimlessly, nor were they taking the marriage proposal lightly.
They were just following the sect's instructions and deliberately appearing in places where Young Master Lin might stay, in order to test Young Master Lin's reaction first.
However, the sect did not expect that, apart from issuing an order when leaving home, Lin Xiao actually cut off all contact with his parents and maternal family and disappeared completely.
When asking the Xian Sect to 'find someone', he didn't lower his face to go look for him personally, but showed his attitude and let Lin Xiao come to him on his own initiative.
In their inherent concept, Young Master Lin, who already has doubts about this world, will not give up this great opportunity.
Although Li Mu was full of hostility and many of his views were somewhat absolute, his vision was still online and he did not misjudge the naked contempt in his eyes.
The Wenxian Sect indeed looked down on Lin Xiao, who only had "worldly" means but was gifted with five spiritual roots, just like the Lin family's affairs faction back then.
The culprit has not been found yet and the problem cannot be solved from the root, which led to the grand scene of everyone gathering here today.
"Madam Lin, ask the Immortal Sect if they are interested in forming a marriage alliance with the Lin family."
After a moment of silence in the room, the sect finally showed its attitude and decided to negotiate first!
When they heard the representative of Wenxian Sect giving orders in the same tone as if he was buying vegetables, all the big guys reacted.
The rulers of the four dynasties picked up the cups one after another, and did not put them down after drinking. Instead, they held them in their hands to admire them carefully, trying to find the black spots in the white jade.
The heads of various families from aristocratic families all looked up at the same time, wanting to know what kind of wood was used for the roof of the Lin family. It seemed to be very good.
They are dying of laughter in their hearts, so just stop it. The more ruthless you are, the less likely that fearless little girl will treat the sect well.
If you dare to bully her parents, you must have suffered losses!
Many of the old guys here have had meals with Young Master Lin, and they feel both sorry and fortunate for Lin Xiao.
It’s a pity that she was born in the Lin family, but also fortunately she was born in the Lin family.
A ruthless character who dared to overthrow the family, kill the ancestor in public, and even use the sacred artifact for trading, the Wenxian Sect actually didn't take it seriously. They are really used to being the only one in charge!
Sensing the strange atmosphere in the hall, Xiao Rou immediately understood that the Wenxian Sect also had some concerns, so they were merely using their power to pressure others and did not tear their faces apart in public.
Perhaps, this kind of concern is what Xiao Xiao wants to know.
She forced herself to calm down, and quickly thought about how to deal with the situation, wondering how she could help her daughter.
"Madam Lin, Liu Wuyi, one of the chief disciples of our sect, has excellent appearance and character, and is a single-heavenly spiritual root. Not long ago, he successfully established his foundation and is a heavenly-grade Daoist platform."
Seeing that Xiao Rou did not answer, the powerful man from the Xianzong directly stated the man's conditions.
Everyone understands what this means.
Whether or not he looked down upon Lin Xiao was one thing, but it was a fact that the other party threw out a magical weapon, allowing the sect's plan to enter the secular world to be advanced by a hundred years.
Not all the top leaders of the Wenxian Sect are arrogant people. Miaoyin Tianzun, who proposed the idea of marriage, felt that Young Master Lin was a rare talent and might be able to play other roles.
Upon learning that the two disciples had lost the item they had been betrothed to, she made a prompt decision and changed the candidate for marriage from the previously chosen elder's descendant with extremely poor talent to the extremely influential Liu Wuyi.
Liu Wuyi was born with a single spiritual root and a heavenly foundation. He used this rare talent to make up for the insufficiency of the betrothal gift, showing that the Wenxian Sect was sincere in forming a marriage.
As long as the marriage is settled, there will be time to find the spiritual roots and take the absolute initiative in the allocation of close distances.
I have to say, this is a very thoughtful move.
But this sincerity was only the unilateral feeling of the Wenxian Sect, and this Heavenly Venerable would never have thought that they had sent the wrong representative.
After hearing the man's conditions, Xiao Rou thought to herself that it was bad. It would probably take a lot of effort for the Lin family to reject the marriage proposal, and they would have to come up with a very legitimate reason.
But before she could think of how to respond, she keenly saw a hint of helplessness and regret on the other person's face.
I feel sorry for your whole family...
No normal parent can tolerate others looking down on their children, especially in front of them.
On the one hand, she wants to marry by flattering others, but on the other hand, she looks down on others, thinking that she has suffered so much injustice and she wants you to get as far away from her as possible!
"Senior, you are joking. Xiao Rou is just a woman, and I dare not agree to my daughter's marriage without telling my husband."
Xiao Rou said this while gritting her teeth. She didn't slam the table in public, which showed her high self-control.
She had a tough personality to begin with, and at this moment she was like a mother animal protecting her cub, not caring at all about who she was facing.
The old guys who were sitting and watching the fun were also surprised by the "sincerity" of Wenxian Sect.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would all be amused by Xiao Rou's answer.
Good fellow, you only need a genius disciple to marry Young Master Lin, whom we have nurtured, and you still feel you are at a disadvantage?
So, only our aristocratic family and dynasty take the little girl seriously, right?
"Mrs. Lin rejected the marriage with this reason. Does she look down on us, the Wenxian Sect?"
The representative of Wenxian Sect did not think that there was anything wrong with his attitude. The universe speaks with strength, and if you are not strong, everything else is empty.
Lin Xiao is just one of many candidates with five spiritual roots, and he may not be qualified to be the host of immortal spiritual roots.
Taking out the magic weapon this time is just to prove that I have some extra use.
And Liu Wuyi is extremely talented and a strong candidate for the future sect master. After the marriage, he will immediately lose the qualification to compete. Isn't this an injustice?
If the renewal of spiritual roots did not require the consent of both parties, the Wenxian Sect would not have wasted any time and would not have engaged in negotiations.
"Since you are deliberately making things difficult for me, I naturally have nothing to say. I am just a woman and cannot make decisions for my daughter. If your clan is really interested in a marriage, please talk to my useless daughter."
Do you really think I, Xiao Rou, am a fool? The reason you can sit here is because you can't handle Xiao Xiao!
This was the first time that Xiao Rou had used her daughter's name to do something big. It felt quite magical. No wonder that piece of wood enjoyed doing it so much.
"Very good, it seems that we should ask the Immortal Sect..."
Boom!
Just as this powerful man was about to say something harsh, the sound of the bell that spread throughout the city struck everyone's heart, making the faces of the old guys in the room look extremely interesting.
The cup in Mr. Xiao's hand dropped to the ground in shock, obviously not expecting his son-in-law to have such a brilliant idea.
Yes, that’s troublesome!
