In the Cheng Mansion, in the meeting hall, all the core figures of the Cheng family gathered here, and the atmosphere was very lively, just to celebrate Xiao Muyang becoming Qinzi.
However, not everyone is happy in their hearts. Some people do not agree with Xiao Muyang's role as Qinzi. After all, he is only a heaven-level practitioner. If his status is higher than the head of the family, what kind of behavior would it be?
Originally, the reputation of the Cheng family was inferior to that of the other three aristocratic families. After this incident, the reputation will probably be even lower.
But this is the decision of the head of the family, and his attitude is very firm. Their objections have no effect and they can only be forced to accept this fact.
I saw Cheng Zhan sitting on the main seat, Xiao Muyang sitting on his right, and all the elders of the Cheng family sitting behind. It can be seen that Xiao Muyang's status in the Cheng family is so high now, it can be said that one person is less than ten thousand people.
.
Many people looked at Xiao Muyang with very complicated expressions. They admired his talent very much, but they still found it difficult to accept the thought of having to take orders from him in the future.
"From today on, Qinzi's words are my words. No one can disobey, and those who disobey orders will be dealt with according to the family rules." Cheng Zhan looked at the crowd in the hall and said, his face was very serious, as if he was giving an order.
"We obey." Everyone said in unison, but only they knew what they were thinking.
"You all go down, I have something to communicate with Qinzi alone." Cheng Zhan ordered again.
So everyone left one after another, and only Cheng Zhan and Xiao Muyang were left in the hall.
"Senior Cheng, what do you want to say to me?" Xiao Muyang looked at Cheng Zhan and asked curiously.
"You have become Qinzi, and you still call me senior?" Cheng Zhan said with a smile.
"Uh..." Xiao Muyang looked stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Then let's call him Uncle Cheng from now on."
"Yes." Cheng Zhan nodded, looked at Xiao Muyang seriously, and said: "Now there are only you and me here, and I will not harm you. You can tell the truth to me."
Xiao Muyang's eyes condensed, and he immediately understood a lot in his heart.
It seems that Cheng Zhan did not completely believe what he said, but in order to protect him, he admitted his identity as Qinzi in public, and asked the rest of the Cheng family to avoid him, hoping to learn the truth from him.
Apart from him, probably no one else knows Cheng Zhan's true intentions.
"What truth does Uncle Cheng want to hear?" Xiao Muyang asked.
"Did you really see the four ancestors in the Tianyin Stone?" Cheng Zhan asked, staring directly at Xiao Muyang, as if he was very concerned about the answer to this question.
"I did see it." Xiao Muyang nodded and said: "It was the four ancestors who personally taught me the Qinyin Spiritual Technique. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to master its essence in such a short period of time."
Cheng Zhan's heart was trembling. Xiao Muyang really saw the four ancestors. Even he had never seen the ancestors' faces.
"The ancestors really named you Qinzi?" Cheng Zhan asked again. This was also a question that he was very concerned about.
Although he had claimed in front of countless people that Xiao Muyang was the Qinzi of the Cheng family, he was only trying to protect Xiao Muyang at that time, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
"No." Xiao Muyang shook his head and said.
"No?"
Cheng Zhan's face suddenly froze there, and it took him a while to recover. He looked at Xiao Muyang and said solemnly: "So, Qinzi's identity was really fabricated by you?"
"Yes, I made it up." Xiao Muyang replied calmly, without any concealment.
Cheng Zhan glanced at Xiao Muyang meaningfully, was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Why did you lie?"
"Senior saw the situation at that time. I killed Wang Feng. Although it was excusable, the Wang family would not let me go easily. In desperation, I had to fabricate Qinzi's identity." Xiao Muyang explained: "
In this way, even if the Wang family refuses to admit my identity, they will at least be afraid of me."
"I see." There was a hint of understanding in Cheng Zhan's eyes. This boy looked young and inexperienced. He didn't expect to be able to think of such a way to save himself, which was quite surprising.
"I have no choice but to do this. Please forgive me, Uncle Cheng." Xiao Muyang said apologetically. The reason why he thought of this method was that the most important condition was that he understood the four zither music spiritual arts. This was on the bright side.
With this fact as evidence, Qinzi's identity has some authenticity.
"Understood, if you don't do this, your life will be in danger." Cheng Zhan nodded and replied, considering from Xiao Muyang's perspective, this approach is understandable.
"Uncle Cheng, don't worry. Although I have the name of Qinzi, I will not give any form of orders to the Cheng family. When I meet with the people of Haotian Palace in the future, I will explain this matter clearly to the outside world." Xiao Muyang said,
From beginning to end, he never thought of using Qinzi's identity for anything.
But Cheng Zhan fell silent and did not respond to Xiao Muyang's words.
After a moment, a bright light flashed in Cheng Zhan's eyes, he looked at Xiao Muyang and said: "I have a proposal, I don't know what you think."
"Uncle Cheng, please speak." Xiao Muyang said.
"Since you are the master of Haotian Palace, you might as well take this opportunity to form an alliance between the Cheng family and Haotian Palace. Although the Cheng family is not a big force, it has tens of thousands of years of foundation and can help Haotian in Donghua Mansion.
The Heavenly Palace is a little busy." Cheng Zhan said.
"Form an alliance?" Xiao Muyang's eyes couldn't help but condense. Seeing that Cheng Zhan looked very serious, it seemed that he was not joking.
"To be honest, the Cheng family's background is far superior to that of Haotian Palace. Haotian Palace can't provide much help to the Cheng family. Under such circumstances, does Uncle Cheng still plan to form an alliance with Haotian Palace?"
Xiao Muyang asked.
Xiao Muyang's words can be said to be very direct. Although he is very moved by Cheng Zhan's proposal, this kind of thing must be made clear first, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble in the future.
"Of course." Cheng Zhan answered directly without any hesitation, making Xiao Muyang look surprised. Is he so decisive?
"I want to know what Uncle Cheng is thinking." Xiao Muyang said directly. Cheng Zhan was still willing to form an alliance even though he knew that Haotian Palace was weak, so he must have his plans in mind.
"In that case, I will tell you directly." Cheng Zhan said straight to the point: "I don't care what help I can get from Haotian Palace. There are two purposes for forming an alliance. One is to make good friends with you, and the other is to get other people.
Three harp music spiritual arts.”
Xiao Muyang suddenly understood in his heart, and the look he looked at Cheng Zhan was a little more profound. As expected of the head of the Fang family, what he saw was far from what was on the surface.
Whether it is his talent or the three musical instruments, they have been of great help to the Cheng family. In comparison, the help that Haotian Temple can give is really insignificant.
After all, Haotian Temple is a force in Beihu County, and water from afar cannot save the fire that is near.
"My two purposes shouldn't be too much," Cheng Zhan asked with a smile.
"It's not too much." Xiao Muyang smiled faintly. Cheng Zhan spoke for him several times. This friendship should be repaid. As for the other three musical instruments, they were originally left by the ancestors of the four great families, so it is reasonable for them to be given to the Cheng family.
The Cheng family, which possesses the four major Qinyin spiritual skills, is bound to rise strongly. The other three aristocratic families can only act based on the Cheng family's face in the future.
Seeing Xiao Muyang readily agreeing, the smile on Cheng Zhan's face became even brighter, and he said with a hearty smile: "I hope that the two major forces can achieve a win-win situation and make progress together this time."
"Definitely." Xiao Muyang nodded. He suddenly thought of something and said to Cheng Zhan: "The Donghua Banquet will be held soon. I need to leave for Donghua City as soon as possible to obtain the Donghua Order. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Qin City for a long time.
"
"Well, the Cheng family also wants to send someone to Donghua City. Why not go with you to protect your safety?" Cheng Zhan suggested.
"That's very good." Xiao Muyang smiled and nodded. Now that he happened to have the identity of Qinzi, traveling with the Cheng family would not arouse anyone's suspicion.
"Without further delay, let's set off tomorrow." Cheng Zhan said, Xiao Muyang nodded: "I have no problem."
…………
In the early morning of the next morning, many figures gathered at the door of Cheng's house. Cheng Zhan and Xiao Muyang stood at the front of the crowd. Behind them were some junior figures and Tiangang strongmen, Cheng Nan was among them.
"This trip is going to Donghua City. All actions must be subject to Qinzi's will. As I said before, anyone who disobeys his will is equivalent to betraying the family and will bear the consequences." Cheng Zhan looked at the Cheng family and spoke in a loud voice.
, his face looked extremely serious, giving people a sense of power without anger.
Everyone's hearts trembled when they heard this. It seemed that the head of the family was determined to make Xiao Muyang the piano, giving him such high power that he even surpassed the elders in the family.
How did they know that Cheng Zhan and Xiao Muyang had reached an unknown agreement.
Cheng Zhan looked at Xiao Muyang again and said seriously: "They will be handed over to Qinzi. When the Donghua Banquet is held, I will personally go to Donghua City to witness."
"Don't worry." Xiao Muyang nodded seriously. He knew that Cheng Zhan had high hopes for him, and he would do his best not to let Cheng Zhan down.
"Let's go." Xiao Muyang said, planning to leave here.
"Master Xiao."
At this moment, an extremely gentle voice came from the side.
When Xiao Muyang heard the voice, he turned around subconsciously and saw a group of beautiful figures walking towards them. They were all like fairies descending from the Heavenly Palace, wearing light gauze and looking as if they were immortals. They were the disciples of Huanxiao Palace.
The person who spoke just now was Huan Xiao.
Xiao Muyang blinked his eyes when he saw them coming, and he was a little confused. Why did they come?
Moreover, among the figures in Huanxiao Palace, Xiao Muyang also saw an acquaintance, it was Yue Feng'er, who was standing with Bixiao.
This made him feel even more puzzled. Yue Feng'er and Bi Xiao only knew each other once, but now they are so close?
When the fairies from Huanxiao Palace came here, everyone in the Cheng family looked at Xiao Muyang with a bit of envy in their eyes. This guy is very lucky!
