In the small courtyard to the south, a girl in purple is lying lazily on the desk, holding an open book in both hands, her white jade-like chin resting on the edge of the table, with a hint of brown hair hanging down. Behind his back, he tied a long ponytail with a golden ribbon, and stared at the contents of the book with a pair of star-like eyes.
If Zhong Wen were here, he would be able to recognize this beautiful girl in purple, who was Zi Yuan whom he met in the "Diecui Villa".
On the cover of the book, there are five characters "List of Heroes of Da Qian" printed on it.
In recent days, whenever she had free time, she took out this freshly released list of heroes and flipped through it. Looking at the names of the six women on the first page of the list, her beautiful eyes like purple stars were filled with envy. Such a look makes me want to pick up my pen and add my name to it.
"Piaohua Palace."
As he silently recited the name of this sect, the longing in Ziyuan's heart was almost uncontrollable.
Among the six women in the top ten on the list, except for "Princess Snow Eagle" Gan Muyun, who is already on the list, the other five are from this mysterious sect called Piaohua Palace, a training sect composed of women.
In this world where women's status is extremely humble, the existence of Piaohua Palace seems different and abrupt. However, for Ziyuan, it is like a wisp of fresh wind, blowing ripples on the lake in her heart.
What's more, she also noticed that the sect information behind the name of "Miracle Doctor and Demon Chef" Zhong Wen was also marked with the words "Piaohua Palace".
I wonder how he is doing now?
When I saw this name, a smiling and pretty face instantly appeared in my mind. Recalling the experience of Pincui Villa, a faint blush appeared on Ziyuan's beautiful face.
"Junior sister Ziyuan, the master has invited me." A disciple in blue called from outside the door.
"Here we come." Zi Yuan quickly closed the book, stood up, smoothed her hair from her face, and opened the door, "Senior Brother Zhang, what does the master want from me?"
"I don't know either." Senior Brother Zhang Erhe knew very well that Ziyuan's noble status and extraordinary talent were the hope of the future of the sect, so he was extremely polite, "Junior sister, just go to the front hall and find out for yourself."
"Hmm." Ziyuan nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions, just followed Zhang Erhe and walked forward slowly.
Not long after, the Nantian Sword Sect's grand and exaggerated main building came into view of the two of them.
Stepping into the front hall, the first thing Zi Yuan saw was Qin Haonan, the leader of the Nantian Sword Sect, who was tall and wearing a blue shirt.
Standing next to the leader is an old man in a yellow shirt with gray hair and a childlike face. He looks very old, but he is still energetic and energetic. His face has a rosy luster and his eyes are shining, like a young man.
"Here we come." Upon seeing Ziyuan, Qin Haonan and the old man in white showed kind smiles on their faces.
"Head, Master." Zi Yuan saluted the two people in front of him.
It turns out that this gray-haired old man is Zi Yuan's master, the only spiritual leader of the Nantian Sword Sect, Master Jie Jian.
"The fourth level of the Earth Wheel?" Sensing Ziyuan's cultivation, Qin Haonan's face showed a look of satisfaction, "At such a young age, he has already cultivated to a level that many people can't reach in their lifetime. Xiaozi is indeed the future of our sect.
My hope is not in vain that the Great Elder has spent so much effort to find this "Ice Flower Sutra" for you."
"Thank you so much, Master." Zi Yuan looked at Master Jie Jian aside, his eyes full of admiration, "Zi Yuan will definitely honor Master well in the future."
"It is only natural for a master to help his disciples develop skills. There is nothing to thank him for." Master Jie Jian chuckled and said, "Practice hard and strive to enter the Heavenly Wheel and even the realm of the Spiritual Master as soon as possible.
, is the greatest filial piety to a teacher."
"Yes." Ziyuan responded respectfully.
"See the great elder, see the leader." A deep voice came from behind.
Zi Yuan turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a yellow shirt appearing at the door.
The man is about fifty years old, with a thin face, protruding cheekbones, and a slightly crooked nose bridge, making the entire face look uncoordinated.
However, what most disturbed the view were the two tumors growing on his right jaw. Each one was the size of a grape. Together with his already slightly distorted facial features, they looked a bit ugly.
"Uncle Huang." Zi Yuan recognized this person as the younger brother of the leader Qin Haonan. He was one of the most talented practitioners of the Nantian Sword Sect. At only fifty-six years old, his uncle Huang Wen had already reached the peak of Tianlun.
"Since you are all here, let's get down to business." Qin Haonan nodded towards Huang Wen, glanced at Master Jie Jian beside him, and then asked slowly, "Xiao Zi, what do you think of Junior Brother Huang?
How are people?"
"Uncle Huang's cultivation is profound, and Zi Yuan has always admired him." Zi Yuan didn't have much contact with Huang Wen, so when asked about it by the headmaster, Zi Yuan could only say politely.
It's a pity that he looks a bit ugly.
She was still a girl at heart, so she couldn't help but complain in secret.
"Oh? It turns out that Xiao Zi also has a good impression of Junior Brother Huang, and that couldn't be better." Qin Haonan didn't know how to hear Zi Yuan's "good impression", and said with a smile on his face, "I was planning to go to the City Lord's Mansion to replace Huang
Junior brother proposes marriage to your father, I wonder what do you think, Xiao Zi?"
"Proposing marriage? What proposing marriage?" Ziyuan was confused and didn't react for a moment.
Behind him, Huang Wen's face showed a look of ecstasy, and he was so excited that he said incoherently: "Thank you so much, Senior Brother, for your love. I will definitely treat Xiao Zi well, and I will not let her suffer any injustice in this life."
"Master, Master!" Zi Yuan was shocked when he heard this. Only then did he understand that the so-called marriage proposal actually wanted her to marry Huang Wen. His face turned pale, he looked at Master Jie Jian, and said in a trembling voice, "I, I
I'm still young and don't plan to get married for the time being."
"What silly things are you saying, kid? You are almost twenty years old, so you are not too young." Before Venerable Jie Jian could speak, Qin Haonan smiled and shook his head and said, "Many women among the people are less than fifteen years old."
She was married at the age of 18 and had children."
"Master, Zi Yuan just wants to practice hard and strive to enter the Heavenly Wheel Realm as soon as possible. He really has no intention of getting married." Zi Yuan was retorted by him and was so anxious that tears were about to flow out. "Besides, Uncle Huang is an elder.
This matter is inconsistent with etiquette."
"Silly boy, he is just a master uncle, not a biological uncle. There is no blood relationship, so what does it matter?" Qin Haonan's tone was still gentle, but there was a hint of impatience in his eyes, "Besides, getting married does not conflict with cultivation, Junior Brother Huang
You have extraordinary talents and strong cultivation. After you two become a couple, you can get a lot of guidance from him and advance in cultivation. It will only be faster than studying alone."
"Master!" Zi Yuan's eyes were slightly red, and she shouted sweetly to Master Jie Jian, with a cry in her tone.
"Girl, the sect has provided you with so many resources, and it's time for you to make some contributions to the sect." Master Jie Jian doted on this apprentice. Seeing her pitiful appearance, he
Feeling a little distressed, he couldn't help but persuade softly, "Huang Wen is not yet sixty years old, and he has already reached the peak of Tianlun cultivation. With your help, he will probably be able to enter the realm of spiritual master. A husband of spiritual master, I want to come."
It won’t humiliate you.”
"Master, if you work hard on your own practice, you can also reach the realm of spiritual master and contribute to the sect." Ziyuan did not expect to hear such a set of words from the master whom she respected most, and could hardly believe her ears.
The tears could no longer be suppressed and flowed down, "Master and the head, please don't force Zi Yuan to marry."
"What are you talking about! How can a genius like Junior Brother Huang not be worthy of you?" Qin Haonan said displeasedly, "Is it possible that he will be rejected by you just because his appearance is not outstanding? If you don't learn well at a young age, you will know how to judge people by their appearance.
!”
"Do you have to marry just a genius?" Ziyuan was touched by a certain nerve. In her excitement, she finally couldn't help but contradicted her, "There are so many geniuses in that sect, why do you have to marry Master Huang? I don't think so.
Master Mu Zixuan is not much worse than Master Huang."
"Mu Zixuan?" Qin Haonan was stunned when he heard this, thinking he understood something, "Could it be that you prefer Junior Brother Mu?"
The Mu Zixuan mentioned by Zi Yuan is another genius among the Nantian Sword Sect. He is not yet fifty years old this year, but he has already reached the fifth level of the Heavenly Wheel.
He is extraordinary and is admired by the female practitioners in his sect.
Upon hearing this name, Huang Wen's complexion changed, and a hint of jealousy and resentment flashed in his eyes.
Growing up, he was bullied and ridiculed because of his appearance, so he had to work hard and practice hard in order to gain the respect of others.
Finally, due to his excellent qualifications and hard work, at the age of thirty-five, he finally successfully entered the realm of the Heavenly Wheel, and his identity underwent an earth-shaking change.
I thought that he would skyrocket from now on and become a person that everyone admired, but Mu Zixuan's appearance completely covered up the weak light on his body.
Some people are born to be the center of attention.
Mu Zixuan is such a dazzling new star.
He is handsome, personable, and extremely talented in cultivation. Not long after he emerged, this new genius quickly overshadowed the less dazzling Huang Wen.
The ugly jealousy made Huang Wen almost go crazy.
Countless nights, he would lie in bed, dreaming that one day he would trample, crush, and crush Mu Zixuan's handsome face into slag.
When he heard this name from Zi Yuan's mouth, the anger in his heart accumulated to the extreme, and his hatred for Mu Zixuan was ready to come out. Even when he looked at Zi Yuan, he was no longer as cute as before.
"No, I'm just giving an example..." Ziyuan casually used Mu Zixuan to refute, but Qin Haonan misunderstood him and hurriedly defended.
"Although Junior Brother Mu has good cultivation, he has not yet reached the peak of Tianlun." Qin Haonan pondered for a moment, frowned and said slowly, "Even if I marry you, with the help of the Xuanyin Body, I may not be able to successfully break through to the spiritual level.
The realm of respect.”
"I, the value of my existence, is this Xuanyin body?" Zi Yuan's face turned pale with anger, and his lips kept trembling.
"How presumptuous!" Qin Haonan was so contradicted by his disciples that he finally couldn't help but slam the table and said angrily, "As a disciple of this sect, I should do my best to defend the glory of the sect. Now we are even ranked first in Southern Xinjiang Province."
The position of the big sect is almost in danger, and you are still thinking about your own little thoughts, how unbecoming it is!"
"Girl, we are cultivators, not ordinary people." Venerable Jie Jian sighed and said kindly, "You don't need to take marriage so seriously. After you get married, you just need to fulfill your obligations as a wife.
Junior Brother Huang will not restrict your actions, you can be as free as before and do whatever you like."
"Is it because of Piaohua Palace?" Zi Yuan suddenly realized, "Is it just because of the rise of other sects that we have to sacrifice the happiness of our disciples' lives?"
"Although Junior Brother Huang is mediocre in appearance, he has a gentle temperament and extraordinary talents. How can we call it a sacrifice?" Venerable Jie Jian stepped forward, patted Zi Yuan's shoulder gently, and said softly, "Getting married is, after all, a sacrifice.
It’s natural that you can’t make up your mind about life-long matters. It’s natural for you to go back and calm down first, and we’ll discuss it in the long term.”
As he said that, he turned around and gave Qin Haonan a hint in his eyes.
"Yes, I lost my composure." Qin Haonan calmed down instantly and softened his tone slightly, "Xiao Zi, go back and think about it carefully. Remember, without the support of our Nantian Sword Sect, how could your father be able to secure this position?
The position of Nantian City Lord? You are still young, so don’t harm others or yourself just because of your temporary anger."
There was a hint of threat in his words.
Ziyuan didn't expect that her master and leader, who had always treated her so kindly, would show such a face just because the sect's status was threatened. She felt as if the sky was falling. She was so angry that it was really hard to describe and cruel.
He stamped his jade feet fiercely, turned around and ran towards the outside of the house without looking back.
"Send someone to keep an eye on her." Qin Haonan's eyes gradually turned cold. He looked directly at the direction Zi Yuan was leaving and ordered Zhang Erhe beside him, "Don't let her leave the sect."
"Yes." Zhang Erhe bowed and accepted the order and left.
"Junior brother Huang, this time the old man even offended my precious apprentice for you." Master Jie Jian looked at Huang Wen who was bowing his head and said nothing, and said sincerely, "You must work hard and enter the realm of spiritual master as soon as possible. Don't
If you want to disappoint the master and me, you must also be kind to the girl and don't let her suffer any injustice."
"The kindness between the elder and the leader will be unforgettable by Huang Wen." Huang Wen bent down and bowed deeply, "I will do my best and never let down the high expectations of you two."
"That's very good. I will be in seclusion soon to achieve the realm of Spirit Master." Qin Haonan nodded with satisfaction, "After you get married to Xiaozi, with the magical effect of Xuanyin Body, you can also be promoted to Spirit Master. Then we will work together
What’s the point of the Third Spirit Master and those girls in Piaohua Palace?”
"The leader is wise!" Huang Wen said respectfully.
But no one noticed that the cruel and violent look in his eyes disappeared in a flash.
You stinky bitch, you actually look down on me. When you get married, see how I torture you!
Growing up, the cold looks, ridicule, and bullying he received because of his ugly appearance had already made his mind extremely distorted. He was full of hatred for beautiful people. The words "Mu Zixuan" came out of Zi Yuan's mouth.
At that time, his admiration for this beautiful girl turned into deep hatred.
He made up his mind to let Zi Yuan live in pain and regret for the rest of his life...
