Half a month later, a guest came to the Chen Family Island. Although he only had the fifth level of magical power, the three ancestors of the Chen family welcomed him and took him seriously.
Because this guest represents the supreme seventh-level island Ouyang family, and is also the envoy of Ouyang Ming, the direct son of Ouyang Peng, the Ouyang family's seventh-level ancestor.
After a brief exchange of polite greetings, the messenger explained his purpose of visit.
It turned out that Mr. Ouyang Ming heard about Chen Mengzhu's name. After seeing the portrait, he was shocked by the girl's astonishing beauty and aura, so he immediately asked an envoy to bring a large number of valuable gifts and betrothal letters to the Chen family to propose marriage.
After the three ancestors of the Chen family heard about the messenger's intention, they all fell into silence.
If Chen Mengzhu was an ordinary disciple or even an outstanding core disciple, the three of them would immediately agree without hesitation.
This is a great opportunity to get involved with the Ouyang family, and as the legitimate son of the ancestor, Mr. Ouyang Ming has an important status and a bright future. If he becomes the husband-in-law of a child of the Chen family, the Chen family will have a bright future at least in the next few decades.
The development will far exceed other level six islands.
But if the person you choose is Chen Mengzhu, you need to think carefully.
The potential shown by Chen Mengzhu makes him the most promising monk in the Chen family to break through to the seventh level of supernatural powers in hundreds of years.
Once the Chen family becomes a seventh-level island, although it is still far behind the Ouyang family, it can be on an equal footing and be directly responsible for the Fantasy Continent. This is not comparable to being related to the Chen family.
No one is willing to be inferior to others.
Moreover, the three ancestors also understood that when the Ouyang family wanted to propose marriage, most of the drunkards were not interested in drinking, and they probably also took a fancy to Chen Mengzhu's potential.
As long as Chen Mengzhu marries the Ouyang family, he will be a member of the Ouyang family. Even if he breaks through to the seventh level of supernatural power in the future, he will have nothing to do with your Chen family. This is also a common method used by the seventh-level island to suppress subordinates.
Seeing that the three ancestors were silent, the messenger knew it well and smiled slightly: "Three ancestors, why are you hesitating? Such a good thing is difficult to find even with a lantern. Fairy Mengzhu married her, even though she was a concubine.
Although she has a certain identity, but with her intelligence and beauty, she will definitely win the favor of Mr. Ouyang.
The more important her status is, the better it will be for the development of the Chen family. Moreover, our young master Ouyang Ming has lofty ambitions and great talents. He is one of the best young heroes in the world. It will only be a matter of time before he breaks through to the seventh level of supernatural power. With such a status, marrying
Your Dream Bamboo Fairy is more than enough, right?"
The three ancestors of the Chen family looked at each other and smiled bitterly. He was a man of great talent and lofty ambitions. This seemed to be different from the Ouyang Ming they had heard about.
It is said that the reputation of Mr. Ouyang Ming is not very good. Because his father is the ancestor of the Ouyang family, his spiritual path is smooth. He has been pampered and arrogant at a young age, has a surly temperament and is lustful.
It is said that he has dozens of concubines, most of whom came through rape, coercion or various means. Moreover, he has many tricks and perverted hobbies, and often tortures his women until they are worse than death.
Marrying such a man to Chen Mengzhu would be like pushing him into a pit of fire.
But by rejecting Ouyang Ming, wouldn't it make him angry and completely offend the Ouyang family? Such consequences are not something the Chen family can afford.
Chen Wangshan, the third ancestor of the Chen family, felt sorry for his granddaughter and said with a smile: "Mr. Liang, it's not that we are hesitant. In fact, we don't want to marry into the Ouyang family. But the identity of Master Ouyang Ming is too noble. How can Chen Mengzhu be so virtuous? How can he join Ouyang family?"
The young master’s discernment, not to mention the fact that she was already engaged before she became famous, is no longer flawless, and is simply not worthy of the young master.”
"Yes, Ambassador Liang, Chen Mengzhu has only shown talent in recent months. It was not unusual before, so according to family rules, she was betrothed to other children early." Chen Wangfeng, the first ancestor of the Chen family, and Chen Wangshui, the second ancestor, also hurriedly
Follow the words and say.
"Really, it doesn't matter." Instead of being angry, Messenger Liang said with a smile, "Just cancel the engagement. Mr. Ouyang Ming doesn't care whether Fairy Mengzhu is a virgin or not. Less than half of his concubines have been engaged before.
Yes, nothing has happened. As for the disciple who is engaged to Fairy Mengzhu, you can have a good talk with him. If we can't reach an agreement, I will talk to him personally."
The expressions of the third ancestor of the Chen family changed. This young master Ouyang Ming was really dissatisfied with his desires. He was blocked by Messenger Liang's words and couldn't help but be speechless.
Upon seeing this, Ambassador Liang smiled calmly, reached into his arms, and placed a full storage bag on the table: "This is Mr. Ouyang's betrothal gift. It contains enough resources for your Chen Family Island for one year."
, this is just the beginning, it will become more and more popular in the future.
If there are more, your Chen family no longer has to pay tribute to the Ouyang Family... Of course, this is just a request from Mr. Ouyang, not an order. You have the right to refuse. The Ouyang Family is a big family and will never impose any compulsion on its subordinates' sixth-level islands.
meaning."
The three ancestors of the Chen family looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They all thought that this was the opposite. If we refused, there would probably be no good fruits in Chen Family Island.
Chen Wangfeng and Chen Wangshui both looked at Chen Wangshan. In fact, they both had intentions. After all, it would be unwise to offend the Ouyang family, and when Chen Mengzhu fully matures, there are still many unknowns.
However, Chen Mengzhu is Chen Wangshan's biological granddaughter, so it is natural for the two of them not to make decisions without authorization.
Chen Wangshan pondered for a long time and said: "Mr. Liang, Mengzhu has a marriage contract after all, and her position in the Chen family is also relatively important. Even I can't make the decision without permission. How about this? I'll ask her opinion, no matter what
No matter what, I will give you a reply."
"Okay." Messenger Liang said calmly, "I'll wait for you here."
The third ancestor of the Chen family said a few polite words and then exited the reception room.
"Third brother, go talk to Mengzhu and let her not feel any pressure. No matter what choice we make, we will respect each other. Our Chen family has such a genius, and the Ouyang family wants to take it away. It's too much." He just left.
Coming out, Chen Wangfeng sighed.
Chen Wangshui didn't say much, but he nodded. As ancestors, they certainly had to consider the family's interests, but they couldn't lose sight of the bottom line.
"Thank you for your understanding, eldest brother and second brother. I mean the same thing. It might be best to let her choose by herself." Chen Wangshan's face was a little solemn.
Chen Wangfeng and Chen Wangshui patted his shoulders and walked away wordlessly.
A moment later, Chen Mengzhu stood in front of Chen Wangshan and listened quietly to his grandfather's words without saying a word.
"Mengzhu, I don't want to add pressure to you. So you don't have to consider the pressure from the Ouyang family. Although my Chen family is not very good, we still have the ability to prevent our children from being wronged." Chen Wangshan looked at her and said
Looking at his deceased son, Xiang's eyes couldn't help but soften, "You have the power to decide your own life."
Chen Mengzhu's beautiful eyes became moist, she knelt down, threw herself into Chen Wangshan's arms, and choked softly: "Grandpa..."
Chen Wangshan touched her head gently, thinking of his son in his heart. His eyes could not help but be a little gloomy: "Mengzhu, think about it, don't bet on the happiness of your life, remember, no matter what time.
The Chen family is standing behind you, and grandpa is behind you."
"I understand. Grandpa..." Chen Mengzhu wiped away her tears and said softly, she stood up, "Give me some time, I will go back to the mansion first, and then I will tell you my decision when I come back."
Chen Wangshan nodded.
Chen Mengzhu returned to her manor as quickly as possible, and then quickly walked into the quiet and peaceful mansion. When she saw the simple young man sitting upright and meditating in the sun, her heart instantly calmed down.
She would only feel this way when she saw Xia Chen.
"Are you in trouble?" Xia Chen opened his eyes and said calmly.
Chen Mengzhu lowered his head. He walked to him and sat down, explained the matter again, and then said aggrievedly: "I don't want to marry her, and I don't want to marry anyone except you."
She had said such bold and fiery words many times, and Xia Chen didn't care: "What you are thinking about is the pressure the Ouyang family puts on the Chen family. Although your grandfather didn't say anything, you can't think about it."
"Yes." Chen Mengzhu sighed, "Grandpa is very good to me, but the better he treats me and the less pressure he puts on me, the more I feel that if I refuse, I will be sorry for him. After all, I am also a child of the Chen family. If I can't
If sharing the worries of the Chen family brings a burden to the Chen family, that is not what I want to see."
Xia Chen was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Do you know you are wrong?"
He asked very abruptly, but Chen Mengzhu immediately understood what he meant, lowered his head and said: "I know... I know it's useless to regret, but I still can't help but regret it. If I keep a low profile these few months, maybe Ouyang Shijia
Then you won’t notice me.”
Xia Chen smiled slightly: "It's good that you know you were wrong. Have you thought of a solution?"
Chen Mengzhu glanced at him resentfully: "If I could think of it, why would you come to see you? Why would you have the heart to give your beautiful female disciple to a man you have never met?"
As she spoke, she unconsciously leaned over and snuggled into Xia Chen's arms.
"How could that happen?" Xia Chen couldn't help his heart skipping a beat, pinched her tender little face, and said with a smile, "You will dominate the entire Wanlun Sea in the future. Who are the Ouyang family, but they dare to touch mine?"
disciple?"
Chen Mengzhu couldn't help but feel a sweet feeling in his heart when he heard the words "my disciple" and how domineering he said it.
"But you have experienced it many times, why don't you come up with your own idea?" Xia Chen was so shy that he scolded her again, "I'm only going to tell you what to do this time. Next time you have to make up your own mind."
"I know, but you are my man, oh no, you are the master. If I don't look to you to make my decision, who else can I look to?" Chen Mengzhu coquettishly shook his waist and kissed Xia Chen hard on the face.
"You are really not big or small." Xia Chen said helplessly and whispered a few words in her ear.
Chen Mengzhu's eyes lit up, he nodded repeatedly, and then ran away jumping up and down.
"Grandpa, let's go, I'll go with you to see that Messenger Liang." Chen Mengzhu said calmly in Chen Wangshan's mansion.
"You figured it out so quickly?" Chen Wangshan looked at her in surprise and said.
Chen Mengzhu nodded.
"Okay, let's go together." Chen Wangshan became curious and wanted to ask her what her decision was, but it seemed that he, a grandfather, was gossiping, so he had to hold back and not ask.
Then Chen Wangshan greeted Chen Wangfeng and Chen Wangshui, and the four of them came to the reception room together. (To be continued...)
