The Guan Family
"Zheng 'er, as long as your father comes back safely, everything will be fine." Guan Lan said anxiously, her face full of fear.
"Mother, don't worry, I won't be reckless." Luo Zheng comforted his mother and looked at Luo Qing. He took out the remaining Blood Nourishing Pills and said, "Little Qing, these Blood Nourishing Pills are for you. With these pills, you will be able to break through to the Muscle Refining Stage."
"These are Mortal Middle Grade Pills. Are you really giving them to me?" Luo Qing grabbed them, her hands trembling with excitement.
"Take them. You have to work hard. No matter how many pills you need in the future, come to me for them." Luo Zheng said generously.
A Blood Nourishing Pill was only three thousand taels of gold. Refining a Middle Grade Magic Tool would earn him a few thousand.
"That's great. I heard that in the Guan Family, only the most talented direct descendants can get one Qi Nourishing Pill a month! Mother, brother, I'll go cultivate first. "
Luo Qing's face was red with excitement.
Half a year ago, after moving into this small courtyard, the Guan Family provided Luo Qing with a Qi-Nourishing Pill every month, which made her very happy. She didn't expect that Luo Zheng would directly take out more than a dozen Blood Nourishing Pills of the Mortal Stage.
This feeling was like a dream.
"Blood Tempering Realm cultivation!" Guan Lan looked at Luo Zheng. She was so excited that she couldn't speak.
She knew better than Luo Qing the meaning of the Blood Refining Stage. Her father was the second elder of the Guan Family, but he was only in the Blood Refining Stage after decades of cultivation. The head of the Guan Family was only at the peak of the Blood Refining Stage.
After Luo Qing left, Luo Zheng chatted with his mother for a while.
"Zheng 'er, thanks to your grandfather for taking care of us for the past six months. Since you're back, come with me to the Guan Family Mansion to visit him tomorrow."
Guan Lan hesitated for a while before speaking.
"Mother … Okay, I'll pick some gifts tomorrow to return the favor."
Luo Zheng frowned slightly. In the past, his grandfather, Guan Yuanye, was extremely indifferent to his family. Even when his father, Luo Li, was framed by Luo Luo and sent to the Cold Wasteland, he did not ask about it and did not visit Red Tong Town.
However, on account of the care that the Guan Family had given to his mother and sister over the past six months, Luo Zheng still agreed.
In the Guan Clan Manor, Guan Yuanye was lying on a rocking chair with a relaxed expression.
"Greetings, Patriarch."
It was at this moment that the head of the Guan Clan, Guan Hongye, walked in. Song Yuanye quickly stood up to welcome him.
"Second Elder, the Third Young Master of the Yu Family, Yu Sen, has come to propose marriage today. He has brought a total of four hundred thousand taels of gold and a fine iron mine. I have already agreed and the wedding date is set for half a month from now. Guan Ye is the most promising disciple in our family to enter the Blood Tempering Realm. After Luo Qing officially marries into the Yu Family, Guan Ye's monthly allowance will be increased from one Blood Nourishing Pill to two! "
Guan Hongye said happily.
Four hundred thousand taels of gold was half a year's income for a small clan like the Guan Clan. In the first year of the fine iron mine, they would earn at least a hundred thousand taels of gold.
Guan Ye was Guan Yuanye's grandson. He was sixteen this year and had just entered the Membrane Forging Realm. Among the Guan Clan's disciples, his strength was second to none.
Not only did Guan Yuanye value Guan Ye, but the Guan Clan also did their best to nurture him. For the average Guan Clan disciple, the clan only provided two Qi Nourishing Pills every month.
After all, the Blood Nourishing Pill was an extremely precious pill in a small city like Linyang.
Guan Yuanye was overjoyed when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Patriarch. I spent a lot of money in the past six months to raise Guan Lan and her daughter. I even provided Luo Qing with a Qi Nourishing Pill every month. They wouldn't dare disobey me."
As the second elder of the Guan Clan, Guan Yuanye had many wives and concubines. Just the children of his concubines alone numbered more than ten. In addition, Guan Lan had married Luo Li, who was from a poor family, so he didn't take Guan Lan seriously.
Half a year ago, Guan Yuanye had brought Guan Lan and her daughter back to the Guan Clan because Luo Qing had broken through to the Flesh Forging Realm at the age of twelve.
One had to know that the Guan Clan's disciples were all carefully nurtured from a young age, but none of them had reached the Flesh Forging Realm at the age of twelve. From this, it could be seen that Luo Qing's martial talent was extraordinary.
Dragons gave birth to dragons, phoenixes gave birth to phoenixes. If one's parents had outstanding talent, their children wouldn't be too bad.
Therefore, many families wanted to recruit a talented girl like Luo Qing into their family so that she could help their family flourish.
As for Guan Yuanye, he only saw Luo Qing as a rare commodity worth hoarding. He didn't have any kinship in his heart.
"Patriarch, Second Elder, there's news from the courtyard that Luo Zheng has returned." A servant came in to report.
"Luo Zheng? Hasn't this kid been missing for more than a year? He's actually back. "
Guan Yuanye frowned and thought for a while. He sneered, "It's good that he's back. As long as we have this kid in our hands, we won't have to worry about the mother and daughter not obeying us."
Guan Hongye nodded slightly and didn't take the news of Luo Zheng's return to heart.
Early the next morning, Luo Zheng followed his mother to the Guan Clan Mansion.
"Look, Guan Lan is here again. Who's that boy? It seems to be Luo Zheng. Hasn't this kid been missing? "
"Mother and daughter, freeloading, providing a small courtyard for them to live in, plus servants. They must have at least a thousand taels of gold this month."
"I heard that Luo Qing can get a Qi Pill every month. Now there's Luo Zheng and freeloaders. That's one more freeloader."
"Why should we support them? Guan Lan's marriage is like water spilled out of water. The two little ones are surnamed Luo, not Guan."
Along the way, when the Guan Clan saw Guan Lan, Luo Zheng and his mother, they talked loudly without restraint.
"Wait here. Second Elder will be here in a moment."
The servant leading the way led the two of them to a small hall. He said a few words indifferently before turning around and leaving.
"Humph, a bunch of snobs."
Luo Zheng's eyes turned cold.
"Forget it. Don't bother with these people."
Guan Lan shook her head at her son. She had heard these words countless times.
As soon as he sat down, footsteps came from outside the door.
A few young men and women walked in.
The leader was a tall and well-built young man dressed in luxurious clothes. He was in the Film Forging Realm and had an arrogant expression on his face. He was Guan Yuanye's grandson, Guan Ye.
"Looks like these guys haven't changed much. They're still all good-for-nothings."
Luo Zheng sized them up indifferently.
Apart from Guanye Zhijiu, Luo Zheng was familiar with the other young men as well. First Elder's grandson, Guan Kai, Third Elder's grandson, Guan Yi … and the only girl among them was the granddaughter of the Patriarch, Guan Shuyan.
Guan Shuyan looked ordinary and her martial arts talent was also average. However, she had always been cold and arrogant. It was as if no one could enter her eyes.
"Cousin Luo Zheng is really back. I heard it just now and thought it was a mistake. Oh, you've entered the Bone Forging Realm. No wonder you're the little genius of Scarlet Tong Town. Perhaps you'll catch up with me soon. "
Guan Ye smiled and stared at Luo Zheng for a while. There was a hint of complacency on his face and he emphasized the words' Scarlet Tong Town '.
