The senior officials of the Zhang family were looking at the head of the family expectantly.
Wang Xing, the young master of Huntian Clan, has come to visit more than once or twice, and the senior officials of the Zhang family are also very aware of the love he shows for Zhang Rou.
Do you want to know what the status of the Huntian Sect is in Xia Jiutian? It is one of the strongest sects. Although the Zhang family is an alchemy family, in front of the Huntian Sect, it is actually nothing at all. At least the Huntian Sect’s Yaolu has the ability
Just be above them.
If they were not attached to the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley and had the status of the great elder of the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, the Huntian Sect would not even look at them, and they would never even have any interactions with them.
But this time, the great elder personally came with the betrothal gift, and even brought the sect master's handwriting, which showed his sincerity.
For the senior leaders of the Zhang family, they wished that the head of the family would agree immediately. In this way, the Zhang family would be dependent on the two major forces of Wanyao Valley and Huntianmen, and their status would naturally rise. What's more, if Wang Xing really becomes the head of the family in the future, then the Zhang family will
The status is even more different.
They really couldn't think of any reason for the owner to refuse.
But now it seemed to them that the head of the family had a somewhat hesitant expression and did not intend to agree readily.
Zhang Rou is the apple of his eye, and her talent in alchemy is visible to the naked eye. She is also very obsessed with alchemy, and she is improving very quickly. Her future achievements will definitely not be low.
In addition, Zhang Rou has expressed her thoughts more than once, and what she wants from her partner is not the status of the partner. As a father, of course he knows very well.
Because of this, he knew very well how resistant Zhang Rou would be if he agreed to the marriage here.
But as the head of the Zhang family, he knew very well what this marriage meant to the Zhang family. It was not just a matter of the Zhang family's status. Naturally, everyone would be happy if they agreed, but if they refused, they would really be offended.
Unlike Wang Xing who came alone, this time the Great Elder of Huntian Clan came with the master's handwriting and betrothal gift. He was very sincere and would announce it to the world later. If he refused, it would be tantamount to hurting Huntian Clan's face, and the consequences would not be theirs.
It can be tolerated. Even if the ancestor comes forward, the Zhang family will probably have to be controlled by others in the future, which is not a good thing for them.
With his daughter on one side and the Zhang family on the other, he couldn't make a choice for a while.
At this time, an elder on the side said: "This is a major matter after all, and it involves some interests of both of us. The Great Elder of the Huntian Clan should give our family master some time to think about it carefully."
The great elder's expression did not change at all, and he said directly: "Yes, it's good to think clearly. But I still have to remind you that if I am still alive, before your Zhang family agrees, we are not too close.
I don’t need to flatter you. How about I give you ten minutes to think about it? In addition, our Huntian Sect has given enough sincerity to the betrothal gift, which is definitely something that other sects cannot offer. Also, what is the character and strength of Xiaoxing’s child?
You should all know how and what your qualifications are, so you don’t need me to say more, right?"
The great elder only gave them ten minutes to think about everything he said. This was simply condescending and arrogant.
But judging from his status, there is really no need for him to take the Zhang family seriously.
Although there are some masters in the Zhang family, even monks in the Lichen Realm.
But his strength is much weaker than that of the great elder, and even if everyone attacks together, they may not be able to defeat him.
If the Zhang family agrees to the marriage and everything is easy to negotiate, he will look down upon them. If the negotiation fails, there will be nothing left to talk about, but at least he will offend this big shot, and the consequences are unpredictable.
When the elder who had just persuaded him heard this, his eyes flashed with displeasure, but he did not show it, and then sent a message to the head of the family.
"Master, why don't you think of a way to delay it for a day or two? Let's pass the news to the ancestor. If he comes forward, he should also be given some face."
The head of the family was also in a bit of a dilemma at this time. Others didn't understand the temper of the great elder in front of him, but he understood it very well.
This is definitely a fierce man, with super strength, and he is straightforward in his words and actions. If he is really offended here, it will be very troublesome later.
As for the method of procrastination, it may be useful for others, but it is of no use to this person in front of him. He only accepts soft things, not hard words.
In desperation, he could only give an explanation first.
"Since the elders have brought the master's handwriting and sufficient betrothal gifts, and they are sincere, of course I have no intention of refusing. I also ask the elder to go back and tell the master that I will try my best to facilitate this marriage."
Hearing this, the Great Elder of Huntianmen frowned: "Oh? Do you mean that you are not sure yet? Are you planning to let me take the betrothal gift back?"
"Of course that's not what you mean. I will accept the betrothal gift first. If anything goes wrong in the future, my Zhang family is willing to return the betrothal gift in double the amount."
The Great Elder of Huntianmen was a little unhappy when he heard this.
"Do you know what the leader said before I came here?"
What is the head of the Zhang family?"
"His son must marry the woman he likes, no matter who it is. Do you think our Huntian Clan cares about your compensation for the betrothal gift?"
The face of the head of the Zhang family changed. It was too much for the other party not to let them go. After all, he was attached to the alchemy family of the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, and his ancestor was the great elder of the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley. He was somewhat temperamental.
"My daughter can't be married off by anyone who wants to. She is the apple of my Zhang family's eye. She will also join the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley and become a disciple of our Zhang family ancestor, that is, the Great Elder of the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley. My daughter's
Although his status is not as high as that of Wang Xing, he is not a person without choices. Don’t be too forceful, sir. After all, this is the realm of Myriad Medicine Valley, not the Huntian Sect.”
The senior leaders of the Zhang family never expected that the head of the family would have such a big reaction. Although most of them were looking forward to this marriage, when the head of the family said this, they felt relieved, which they had never thought of before.
The eldest elder was also stunned. He never expected that the head of the Zhang family, who was much younger than him, would have such backbone.
But when it comes to the Great Elder of Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, he is really a little afraid. The reason is very simple. Ten Thousand Medicine Valley does not belong to any force, but its status in Jiutian is frighteningly high, and every sect respects them very much.
Huntianmen may not care about the small Zhang family, but they still have to be polite to Wanyao Valley.
The Great Elder of the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley is also a famous person. He is almost the same generation as him and has a similar status. Although his level is not too high, he has a good talent in the way of alchemy. At that time, he was the successor of the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley.
One of the main candidates, but he was overtaken by the latecomer Ying Changsheng, but no matter what, he is not someone who is easy to bully. At least if he uses the power of Huntian Sect to suppress him, I am afraid it will not be of any use, but will be counterattacked.
However, he did not express his thoughts, but said: "Very good, the head of the Zhang family is really confident. Since you are so insistent, I will give you some more time to think about it, and don't waste my time too much."
.You all know what Xiaoxing thinks of that girl. I don’t understand such a win-win proposal that is beneficial to everyone. Why do you still have such an idea? But you should consider it as soon as possible because my patience has its limit. It’s impossible.
Stay here forever.”
After saying that, he did not stay in the living room anymore and walked towards the door. He took half a step back and gave the Zhang family a step down, which also eased the tense atmosphere in the living room a bit.
Then disputes began to arise among the senior officials. They were all considering this matter, but they still couldn't understand why the head of the family couldn't become them.
Not long after, a disciple ran in from outside the door and shouted directly: "Miss Zhang Rou is back."
This stopped the quarrel in the living room, and people showed joy.
The head of the family said directly: "It's the right time to come back. Let her come here quickly."
After hearing this, the disciple continued: "The eldest lady also brought back a tall man, who seems to be the one who came to our place to cause trouble a while ago!"
Now everyone was a little surprised, and someone asked: "Are you talking about Qin Wuliang?"
"Yes, it seems that it is the one named Qin Wuliang who often harassed the eldest lady a long time ago."
The head of the house frowned when he heard this.
"How did that kid Xiaorou end up getting together with Qin Wuliang? Is the news from the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley true?"
Several senior executives expressed doubts, and someone asked: "What news has come from the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley?"
"You may not have paid much attention to the situation over there. Most of the disciples we sent have returned. Judging from their words, Qin Wuliang's alchemy is very miraculous. It is far superior to monks of the same age. It is not at the same level at all.
, incomparable, even Xiaorou is definitely no match."
Hearing this, the senior officials present looked surprised.
"How is it possible? That kid Qin Wuliang knows how to make medicine? Can't we see what he is capable of? He is indeed a monk genius with good abilities, but you know the Jiemai Sect's techniques very well, and there are the sequelae.
It's strange that he doesn't always go to cure diseases. How can he have time to study alchemy?"
Just when everyone was confused, Zhang Rou was already walking towards this side with Qin Wuliang. Qin Wuliang had obviously dressed up specially. The tall Zhang Rou looked very small in front of him. At this time, Zhang Rou was smiling all over her face.
, where the indifferent expression from before is still there, it shows how happy she is now.
This also surprised the senior executives present.
The head of the family asked directly: "You are back. It seems that you have gained a lot. Otherwise, why would you be so happy? Guess, father... is the ancestor already planning to accept you as a disciple?"
Zhang Rou shook her head simply: "Of course not, I am stronger and stronger as a pharmacist."
The head of the family raised his eyebrows: "You're not talking about the person behind you, are you?"
Zhang Rou shook her head to deny his speculation, which also made the senior officials present heave a sigh of relief. Although they didn't know why they came back together, it would be fine as long as Qin Wuliang didn't have extraordinary alchemy, at least it was not within Zhang Rou's standards.
"Why are all the elders here today? Are you studying something important?" Zhang Rou asked.
Before the head of the family could speak, one of them said directly: "The elder of the Huntian Clan has come to propose marriage on behalf of the head. Xiaorou, what do you think of the child of Wang Xing, the young master of the Huntian Clan?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Wuliang's expression changed.
