In the afternoon, the small living room where the guests were entertained was already crowded. Almost all the families and sects with a little power in the Gaosen Empire sent their representatives to congratulate the old birthday star on their birthday.
Nangong Xiangtian's old face was full of smiles. The treatment he enjoyed at this moment was the only one in the entire empire, and it was no less than the emperor of the Guosen Empire.
All of this is attributed to his unique granddaughter. When thinking of his granddaughter, Nangong Xiangtian felt sweet and indescribable relief.
Seeing that his granddaughter had become a big girl, Nangong Xiangtian thought in his heart that it was time to find a family for Nangong Ling.
In his heart, Nangong Ling's son-in-law had two choices. One was to choose a man with mediocre performance and marry into their Nangong Mansion, so that the Nangong Ling lineage would continue to inherit the family incense in the future.[
Secondly, you can choose someone who is better than Nangong Ling, which will further improve the status of the Nangong family.
But in this second line, the entire empire meets this condition, seems to be only one person left. Tang Ye.
Tang Ye's alchemy technique is so perfect that he can refine elixirs close to the "godly product" at a young age. No one doubts that more than a hundred years later, Tang Ye's achievements will definitely not be lower than Dongfang Cheng.
You should know that at this age, Dongfang Cheng was just making his mark. More importantly, Dongfang Cheng's teacher was the most legendary alchemy master in the history of the imperial alchemy world.
With a famous teacher and good talent, his achievements are naturally comparable to those of ordinary alchemists.
And Tang Fei should have no teacher before. In comparison, the right and wrong are judged immediately.
In addition, what made Nangong Xiangtian envious was the endless top-quality medicinal materials that Tang Ye had emerged one after another. You should know that for their alchemist, these top-quality medicinal materials were like starving ghosts who saw bread and wanted to immediately
Just pounce on it.
The more I thought about it, the more reliable she felt. When she saw such a rich son-in-law, Nangong Xiangtian even hinted something quite explicitly in the conversation with Tang Fei. Unfortunately, what disappointed him was that Tang Fei did not express any expression.
It seems that I have not understood what the old man meant.
"Master, Master Dongfang is here!" At this time, a servant hurriedly ran into the living room and said in Nangong Xiangtian's ear.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Xiangtian shook slightly, his eyes showed ecstasy, and he said, "Okay, I understand."
Nangong Xiangtian turned his head and smiled and said, "Mr. Tang Ye, Master Dongfang is here, why not accompany me to greet him."
Tang Fei nodded happily.
The arrival of Master Dongfang naturally caused a surprise among the high-ranking officials and nobles, and they all started to discuss it in private.
"The status of the Nangong family is now rising."
"Yes, how great would it be if my Xu family had such a daughter."
...
In the evening, a wide courtyard of the Nangong family was filled with banquets, and busy servants rushed through it and kept serving dishes to each table.
The guests laughed happily, and everyone in the Nangong family also had light on their faces, and at this time they all looked proud and proud.
However, there is one person in this family who is somewhat different.[
That is, Nangong Ling's eldest brother, Nangong Jun, whose face was slightly gloomy at this time and his heart was full of jealousy.
When those guests who arrived greeted each other, most of them gathered around Nangong Ling and completely regarded him, the future head of the Nangong family, which made him, who was arrogant and wanted to go crazy.
"Why do everyone please her? I am the future helm of the Nangong family! In the future, as long as I say, I can blow her out of the family..."
With his fists clenched, Nangong Jun thought angrily.
At this time, Nangong Xiangtian smiled and stood up and patted his palms twice, indicating that he had something to say.
The lively atmosphere gradually became quiet, and everyone's eyes were gathered on the old birthday star.
"I, Nangong Xiangtian, remembered it in my heart by my friends today, and I am very grateful. Also today, our Nangong family has another important thing to announce."
After a slight pause, Nangong Xiangtian said slowly: "The future head of our Nangong family has a candidate in my mind. She is Nangong Ling!"
Hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned, and an uproar suddenly spread.
For some large families that have been passed down for a long time, they rarely choose women as the heirs of the head of the family. Of course, this kind of exception is not missing, but in recent years, it has basically been seen.
Nangong Jun was also stunned. He shook his head hard, thinking in a panic: "I heard it wrong, I must have heard it wrong!"
He pulled the father next to him, Nangong Zhan, the eldest son of Nangong Xiangtian, and said in panic: "Dad, did I hear it wrong?"
Nangong Qiang looked bitter and shook his head slowly and said, "You heard it right. In fact, Ling'er was named one of the family heirs very early, but your grandfather's at that time was strongly opposed by everyone at the family meeting.
I had to stand the proposal. Now that your sister has achieved such success, she is the apprentice of Master Dongfang, and the old men in the family can no longer raise any objections."
Obviously, Nangong Zhan noticed this incident very early, so although he was a little depressed at this time, he was not as surprised as his son.
Hearing this, Nangong Jun leaned softly on the chair, his face was pale, his eyes were a little dissipated, and there was a voice in his heart that kept repeating: "No, this is not true! This is not true...
”
Although Nangong Jun is very arrogant on weekdays, his arrogance is only due to his future status and his handsome appearance.
The reason why those girls are so fond of him when they wander around the fireworks is probably because of their future power.
If one day, Nangong Ling became the head of the family, his elder brother would be terrible in refining alchemy and his status would be low. At that time, he would probably end up very miserable when he took to the streets.
Thinking of this, Nangong Jun shivered, it was so terrible.
"Nangong Ling must not be the head of the family."
His eyes turned forward, and his cute sister was smiling and raising her glass to greet everyone.
An evil thought quietly emerged in Nangong Jun's heart. The desire for power made his mind quietly become a little paranoid and deviant.[
...
The birthday party of the Nangong family ended and the empire returned to peace again.
In Dongfang Cheng's villa, Tang Fei and Nangong Ling listen to the class seriously every day, and occasionally ask questions that they don't understand.
Dongfang Cheng always answered them with a smile. At the beginning, he almost answered all the questions asked by the two.
After more than ten days, Dongfang Cheng became more cautious in answering the questions. Sometimes, he had to continue to think for a while before he could answer them.
The two students' understanding of elixirs exceeded his imagination. Especially Tang Fei, who was not like a decades old man. Even some centenarians had no knowledge of elixirs.
Come to him.
After the day's lecture, the sky was completely gloomy.
After seeing off Nangong Ling, Tang Fei returned to his room and lay on the bed, his eyes passed through, and looked at the bright moon hanging from the sky, feeling a lot.
"I don't know how grandpa and the others are..."
I roughly calculated the time. The agreement with the elves was only seven days left. If you want to rush back, you have to go back at least two days in advance. If you calculate this, you will leave here in a few days.
It's time.
"The alchemy technique I am learning now should be able to contact Randall's magical elixir." Tang Fei murmured in his heart, and he was still a little uncertain. Although he was still standing at the Imperial Alchemist at this time, he was still a little unsure.
At the peak, but he was not sure about the unknown toxin to relieve it.
While Tang Fei was flying in his mind, there was a sudden shout outside the villa.
"Master Dongfang, I am Luo Jun, the commander of Nangong Mansion. I have something to ask for a meeting!" There was a hint of panic in my voice.
Tang Fei jumped up from the boat, feeling a little bad in his heart, and immediately ran towards the lower floor of the villa.
Dongfang Cheng also opened the door at this time and released Luo Jun in.
As soon as Luo Jun entered the door, he met Tang Fei hurriedly.
"Commander Luo Jun, what happened?" Tang Fei asked hurriedly.
Luo Jun held Tang Fei's hand and said in a panic: "Mr. Tang Ye, save my lady..."
