Chapter 429: Promise of the Year, One Request (5k, Please Subscribe)
Back then, when they parted in Fengzhou, Xiaoguo, Wei Tu had given Yan Xiaolan two choices.
One, maintain the status of a concubine and wait for him in the wilderness for hundreds of years.
Two, remove the spiritual poison in the body, become a free person again, and never be bound by him again.
At that time, Yan Xiaolan was very bold and believed in herself more than Wei Tu himself. She chose the first option with the biggest gambling nature and was willing to follow him to death.
Therefore, now that he has broken through the Yuanying realm and has achieved success, he will not do anything to break the contract. He only gave Yan Xiaolan a sum of money and sent her away easily.
Wei Tu knew that Yan Xiaolan had no sincerity towards him. She was willing to become his concubine because she was thinking about the fame and fortune that this identity could bring.
However, it was precisely because of this that he accepted Yan Xiaolan as a concubine without any psychological burden.
After all, concubines are different from wives.
He does not need to take too much responsibility for concubines.
Even, in a more indifferent way, he and Yan Xiaolan each took what they needed.
Just like the matter of Qi Feng back then.
After so many years of hard training, Wei Tu certainly didn't mind having a young and beautiful concubine to warm his bed, provided it didn't affect his own practice.
After all, he wasn't a saint who abstained from sex.
It was unrealistic to be pure and abstinent all the time.
...
A moment later.
The two people in the cell had their clothes scattered.
Yan Xiaolan was like a koala, hanging on Wei Tu who was sitting on the armchair. Her eyes were blurred, her white arms were hooked around Wei Tu's neck, and her almond lips lightly touched, leaving a faint lip print on Wei Tu's face.
Creak! Creak!
In less than a cup of tea, the sandalwood chair supporting the two was almost broken by the two.
Finally, with a "click", it completely fell apart and became a pile of sawdust on the ground.
And this was due to Wei Tu's control. With his physical training, if he really burst out with all his strength, I'm afraid that Yan Xiaolan in his arms would be crushed into a pool of meat paste with a light hug.
"Wait a minute, go to the bed."
Hearing the wooden chair break, Yan Xiaolan suddenly woke up and looked at Wei Tu with pleading eyes.
"Okay." Wei Tu naturally would not resist this request. He loosened his big hand that was holding Yan Xiaolan's willow waist and took it off his body.
Yan Xiaolan, who landed on the ground, looked up and looked at Wei Tu carefully. Then he thought for a moment, patted the storage bag, took out a white square handkerchief from it, spread it on the bed, and then lay down on it.
"I hope that the old ancestor Wei will have mercy on me." Yan Xiaolan bit her red lips and said affectionately.
As an old senior who is well versed in this, Wei Tu naturally knew what Yan Xiaolan meant by this. He didn't say anything nonsense, walked up to the bed, and continued to be affectionate with her.
After a while.
A blood plum appeared on the white handkerchief.
And in the cell, there was also a lewd sound.
...
Different from the joy in the cell.
At this moment, all the elders of the Yan family in the Yan family's main hall had sad expressions on their faces.
The reason was simple.
Half a quarter of an hour ago, they found that the formation that imprisoned Yan Xiaolan had failed.
Moreover, the "spectral projection array" arranged in her cell was also blurry and unclear at this time.
Seeing this situation, no matter how stupid they were, they probably guessed that something unexpected had happened to Yan Xiaolan.
However, due to the fact that the person who made the move had no trace, all the elders of the Yan family did not dare to act rashly at this moment, for fear of offending a great enemy.
"Could it be that Master Cui Dan is back?" During the banquet, an elder of the Yan family broke the silent atmosphere.
Decades ago, although the Yan family cultivators did not see the scene of Wei Tu taking Yan Xiaolan away, they also guessed based on rumors afterwards that Wei Tu's real realm at that time was "late Jindan".
Now, after nearly a hundred years, Wei Tu's cultivation must be more advanced than before.
As Yan Xiaolan was Wei Tu's concubine, it was "reasonable" for her to come to the Yan family prison and take him away.
"Impossible!" Yan Zhenping, the clan leader, shook his head and said, "My Yan family is located in Lou Gaozong. Although Master Cui Dan has a high level of cultivation, it is impossible for him to bypass the many formations and restrictions and quietly enter the secret room where Xiaolan is imprisoned!"
Although Yan Zhenping hoped that the visitor was Wei Tu, after all, as Yan Xiaolan's biological father, he did not want to see Yan Xiaolan being imprisoned by the family... But reason told him that the possibility that the visitor was Wei Tu was not great.
No matter what, the realm can never be faked.
Late Jindan? He dared not act recklessly in the quasi-Yuanying force of Lou Gaozong, let alone sneak into Lou Gaozong and sneak into their Yan family's important place.
If it was a Jindan master...
Then there would be some possibilities.
"Xiao Lan is only at the foundation-building stage. As far as we know, the only high-level foreign cultivator related to her is Master Cui Dan..."
"If this person is not Master Cui Dan, who else could it be?" The elder of the Yan family who just spoke frowned and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone.
In his opinion, Yan Zhenping's rejection of this matter is nothing more than trying to shirk responsibility and clear himself of his involvement.
After all, when Wei Tu was able to run away after "cheating money and sex" from the Yan family, Yan Zhenping had an unshirkable responsibility for negligence.
Add to that the guilt today...
Yan Zhenping's tenure as the patriarch has come to an end.
"If a Jindan cultivator who is good at formations sneaks into our Yan family, it is not impossible."
At this time, another elder of the Yan family added.
Yan Zhenping did not answer this question directly. He frowned, his tone became more indifferent, and he said in a serious tone: "Let's not discuss this matter for the time being. Everything will be discussed after the ancestor comes back!"
Yan Zhenping understood his own advantages.
In the clan, his prestige was not enough to become the head of the Yan family. The reason why he could become the head of the clan was inseparable from the fact that he was the nephew of Yan Zezhi, the Jindan Zhenjun.
So, instead of quarreling, it is better to bring up his uncle Yan Zezhi and defeat him with one force.
Sure enough, after Yan Zhenping said this, the Yan family cultivators present immediately remained silent and no longer questioned.
Yan Zezhi did not live in the Yan family land. Like other powerful elders of Lou Gaozong, his cave was located in the quasi-fourth-level spiritual land in the back mountain of Lou Gaozong.
Therefore, when the Yan family cultivators passed the news to the ancestor Yan Zezhi, there was inevitably a certain lag.
About half a day passed.
Yan Zezhi set up the escape light and rushed to the Yan family's land from the back mountain of Lougao Sect, arriving late.
Later, under the leadership of Yan Zhenping and other Yan family cultivators, Yan Zezhi came to the Yan family's key place where Yan Xiaolan was imprisoned.
"This magic power..." When Yan Zezhi walked to the door of the prison cell, his pupils shrank and his face turned pale when he saw the magic power that blocked the prison cell's vision.
Haven't eaten pork, but haven't seen pigs run?
The abundant magic power in front of him was almost the same as the magic power of the Yuanying ancestor he had the honor to receive that year.
Obviously, the cultivator who entered the prison cell had a 99% probability of being a Yuanying ancestor!
"You guys really deserve to die..."
Thinking of this, Yan Zezhi's face instantly turned pale, and he looked at the several direct elders of the Yan family behind him with some regret.
If it weren't for these people who didn't know the real thing, how could he have "accidentally entered this place" today and bumped into the Yuanying ancestor who sneaked into the important place of the Yan family.
At this time, if he didn't care about his face, he would have cursed Yan Zhenping and his eighteen generations of ancestors.
After all, if he didn't have a pleasant contact with this Yuanying ancestor later, his dignified Jindan Zhenjun would undoubtedly be defeated here.
"Ancestor, is there any surprise?"
Yan Zhenping, who was good at observing words and expressions, was shocked when he saw such an expression on Yan Zezhi's face, and asked hurriedly.
However, Yan Zezhi had no time to answer Yan Zhenping's doubts at this moment. In this short moment, he changed his face, stepped forward, and bowed in the direction of the prisoner's cell.
"Ancestor, the younger generation and the descendants of the family didn't know the real thing. If there is any collision, please forgive me and don't blame me too much..."
Yan Zezhi said humbly.
"Ancestor?"
Hearing this, the Yan family cultivators were confused at first and looked at each other for a while, but soon, the Yan family cultivators who were quick to react realized the meaning of the "ancestor" in Yan Zezhi's mouth.
He was the real Yuanying ancestor, not the "fake ancestor" they usually called in the family.
"Yuanying ancestor?"
In an instant, several Yan family cultivators who were not determined were a little frightened and paralyzed.
After all, what realm is the Yuanying ancestor, and there is no one in the entire Lougao Sect.
Now, they, the younger generation, almost bumped into this Yuanying ancestor, and the consequences were not difficult for them to bear at all.
One finger is enough to wipe them out!
If this Yuanying ancestor has a bad temper, I am afraid that none of the cultivators present will be able to escape and will die.
"I just don't know."
"Why did this Yuanying ancestor run to Xiulan's confinement place?"
The Yan family cultivators were puzzled and puzzled.
However, in the current situation, no one could answer their questions.
They could only imitate Yan Zezhi, show respect, and tremble as they bowed to the Yuanying Ancestor in the cell to apologize.
Even though they knew that it was the Yuanying Ancestor who was at fault this time, and it was he who trespassed into the important place of the Yan family.
But strength is respected.
In front of the Yuanying Ancestor, they could only admit their mistakes and consider themselves unlucky.
However——
What surprised the Yan family cultivators was that.
In the face of their apology, the Yuanying Ancestor in the cell seemed not to hear it and did not respond for a long time.
Time passed slowly.
Half a day later.
Things took a turn for the better.
In the expectant eyes of the Yan family cultivators.
The thick fog covering the cell gradually dissipated, and a blue-skirted girl with double-ring buns, radiant face, and gradually open eyebrows and eyes walked out of it.
"Xiulan?" As the biological father, Yan Zhenping recognized his daughter from the thick fog when Yan Xiaolan just pushed open the door of the cell and revealed her figure.
However, after seeing his daughter's awkward walking posture, Yan Zhenping couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, a little at a loss.
He was hesitating about how to explain to "Master Cui Dan" in the future. After all, even if Master Cui Dan's strength was not as good as the Yuanying ancestor in the cell, he was not someone to be underestimated.
At least, he was not someone he could afford to offend.
Fortunately, with the next moment when Yan Xiaolan spoke, his heart hanging in his throat fell back again.
"I will pass on the words of the ancestor Wei."
Yan Xiaolan first bowed to the elders present, then glanced at the monks present with her almond eyes, paused, and said calmly: "The Yan family is not guilty of disrespect this time. If it is disrespect, it is Wei who trespassed into the nobles' clan land and used a small trick to defraud Xiaohan Mountain decades ago."
The voice fell.
As long as the monks of the Yan family present are not stupid, they all understand that the "Ancestor Wei" mentioned by Yan Xiaolan is the "Alchemist Cui" who escaped from Xiaohan Mountain.
"Fortunately! I took care of the family relationship between father and daughter and didn't punish Xiulan too much. I just imprisoned her here to give an explanation to my clan and sect. Otherwise..."
At the same moment, Yan Zhenping felt relieved and couldn't help but secretly said "lucky".
He knew that no matter whether Wei Tu valued Yan Xiaolan as a concubine or not, once he treated Yan Xiaolan harshly, the punishment he casually handed down as the ancestor of Yuanying would be unbearable for him.
"Thank you, Patriarch Wei, for being generous and not taking into account our faults."
Compared to Yan Zhenping, Yan Zezhi's attitude was more flattering. After Yan Xiaolan finished speaking, he immediately expressed his gratitude to Wei Tu. It was as if the Yan family monk had really done something wrong.
"Thank you, Patriarch Wei, for being generous and not taking into account our faults."
The next moment, the cultivators of the Yan family also reacted and echoed Yan Zezhi's words.
"No need to be polite!"
At this time, Wei Tu had also tidied up his clothes in the cell. He fluttered his sleeves and robes, dispelling the concealing spell he had cast. He looked at the cultivators of the Yan family outside the cell and said indifferently. .
"So young?" Yan Zezhi raised his head, carefully looked at Wei Tu, and said in secret surprise.
Although he had known for a long time that Wei Tu's pseudonym "Master Cui" was just a fake identity, and his appearance was most likely a disguise, but when he saw Wei Tu's original appearance for the first time, he couldn't help being surprised.
After all, most of the Yuan Ying ancestors in his memory were dressed as middle-aged or elderly people, and it was rare to see young people like Wei Tu.
——It is easy for Yuanying Ancestor to choose the appearance of which age group, but this does not require mana to maintain.
Ordinary beauty pills no longer have much effect on monks in this realm.
Therefore, except for monks who are particularly concerned about appearance, ordinary Yuanying ancestors will not go out of their way to maintain their appearance and keep them young.
And if Wei Tu cared about it, his appearance would not be as ordinary as it is now.
Obviously, Wei Tu's youthful appearance is in line with his true life span.
…
After a while.
After seeing that the cultivators of the Yan family had returned to calm, Wei Tu walked out of the cell and came to Yan Xiaolan.
"Wei doesn't want to say more."
"Back then, since Wei decided to take Xiulan as his concubine, it was impossible for him to break the contract. After today, Xiulan will be Wei's upright concubine."
"And your Yan family..." Wei Tu glanced at Yan Zezhi in front of him and said solemnly: "It was Wei who acted wrongly and deceived you once. Wei can agree and grant your Yan family's request. It's settled. This grudge.”
Decades ago, Emperor Gaozong of the Yan family took him in as a sect elder and gave Yan Xiaolan to him as a concubine. Although his intention was to seize his inheritance after his death,... after all, people No one is perfect, and given the state he was in at that time, it was normal for the Yan family to be tempted.
Moreover, the Yan family's idea is also reasonable.
In other words, he and the Yan family maintained a tacit understanding and then finalized this posthumous agreement.
——The Yan family served him until his death, and he left his inheritance to the Yan family.
As for whether the Yan family had the intention to kill people and seize the treasure during the process, Wei Tu didn't know, but facing a righteous monk, it was not appropriate for him to draw inferences of guilt.
In addition, now that he has taken Yan Xiaolan as his concubine, the previous unhappiness between him and the Yan family has naturally turned into ashes and will not be mentioned again.
Of course, when he said these words at this moment, his purpose was not only this, but also had another purpose.
This purpose is to hint to the Yan family that after this request is made, they will not continue to ask him for help because of their relationship with Yan Xiaolan.
He directly bought out Yan Xiaolan's ownership in one go, which saved him from future trouble.
The words fell.
Yan Zezhi couldn't help but look back and glanced at his nephew Yan Zhenping. Obviously, as Lao Jianghu, the two of them understood what Wei Tu said.
Moreover, they know that this requirement needs to be redeemed in time, and it will be invalid if it expires!
——After all, Wei Tu's feelings for Yan Xiaolan are limited, and he will no longer waste his energy on their Yan family.
"The Yan family wants to dominate Lou Gaozong and completely turn Lou Gaozong into the Yan family's private domain!"
Soon, Yan Zezhi became bold and made this request to Wei Tu.
Wei Tu ignored this request. He glanced at Yan Zezhi coldly and said in a cold voice: "Change a new one! Wei will not wait until he is out of date."
With his level, he could quietly destroy Lou Gaozong, which was not a big problem. But it is not easy to directly support the Yan family to dominate Lou Gaozong and turn a clan property into the Yan family's private domain in broad daylight.
First, this matter is extremely time-consuming.
Both of them, interfering with the internal affairs of other sects without authorization, will easily be held accountable by Xiao Guo's righteous sect.
Lou Gaozong seemed to be just a quasi-Nascent Soul sect, but later on, it also had inextricable ties with several Nascent Soul forces.
Yan Zezhi was disappointed when he heard Wei Tu's rejection, but fortunately, he didn't have much expectations for it, so after thinking for a moment, he made another request.
"Also ask Ancestor Wei to give the Yan family three Nascent Soul spells to protect the family."
Yan Zezhi bowed deeply.
"Yes!" After hearing this, Wei Tu no longer refused. He nodded slightly and agreed.
To cast a Nascent Soul spell and to store it for a long time are two different things.
The latter is somewhat difficult.
Otherwise, Yuwen Cheng would not have carried only one Nascent Soul finger force of Master Jinxia.
However, this requirement is extremely energy-consuming for ordinary Nascent Soul ancestors, but it may not be the case for him.
The spiritual object he used when condensing the Nascent Soul was a "spiritual object". The Nascent Soul was extremely spiritual, so in terms of manipulating mana, he was born much stronger than other Nascent Soul ancestors.
Not to mention, he also has the "Yuanzhong Divine Light", which is a magical power to assist in manipulating mana.
"However, before leaving three Nascent Soul spells, Wei needs to know the real intention of the Yan family!"
Wei Tu said lightly.
