Murong Yanran couldn't tell what she was feeling right now.
Astonishment, disappointment, panic, and confusion.
After so many years of cultivation, the face of that black-clothed youngster in Wuzhou City was actually already somewhat blurred.
For a time, she had thought that the two of them were people from two different worlds. When the youth realized this, he would probably laugh at himself for being young and frivolous. From then on, he would throw his unrealistic fantasies to the back of his mind and walk his own path in life with his feet on the ground.
The two of them would have nothing to do with each other from now on. A hundred years later, that youngster would turn into a cup of dirt, and how far could she go on the path of cultivation?
Murong Yanran once thought so, but at this moment, that youngster's declaration once again rang out in her mind, unprecedentedly clear.
"Miss Murong, I'll give you a sentence, the river flows east for thirty years, thirty years west for thirty years, don't bully the young for being poor!"
"Three years later, I'll find you!"
It wasn't just clear anymore, contacting Reverend Tong Ling to tell her about the current situation of Xiao Yan and Xuanmen Tianzong. Xiao Yan's declaration that day, at this moment, was like Mount Tai pressing down on Murong Yanran's heart, making her feel like she couldn't breathe.
Reverend Tong Ling looked at the dazed Murong Yanran, hesitating for a moment before gritting her teeth and saying: "Actually, there's still a way to solve it."
Murong Yanran's eyes suddenly brightened, she hurriedly grabbed the corner of Reverend Tong Ling's clothes: "Master, what way?"
Seeing her expression like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, Reverend Tong Ling tilted her head, not daring to look directly into Murong Yanran's eyes.
"The Qin dynasty's Crown Prince Chongyun is going to choose a concubine soon, this is your chance."
Murong Yanran opened her eyes wide: "Master …"
Reverend Tong Ling sighed in her heart, when Ancestor Qing Wei first proposed this plan, she was also stunned.
Ancestor Qing Wei's intention was to marry Murong Yanran to the Qin dynasty's Crown Prince Chongyun before Xiao Yan came to challenge. Then it would be equivalent to transferring the conflict between Murong Yanran and Xiao Yan from Celeritas Sword Sect to Crown Prince Chongyun.
The Great Qin Dynasty indeed wasn't as centralized as the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the Great Qin, the Four Great Families had a lot of power and controlled large amounts of resources. At the same time, the Shushan Sword Sect, Celeritas Sword Sect, and other sects also monopolized many resources.
However, the Great Qin Dynasty's royal family was not weak, and they still had great control over the Great Qin Dynasty's territory. They competed with the large families and sects, but they also depended on each other.
When Murong Yanran married the Crown Prince of Chongyun, she was not an ordinary concubine, but a concubine second only to the Crown Princess.
At this time, if Xiao Yan dared to cause trouble, then he would have to face the pressure of the entire Great Qin Dynasty.
Especially with Xuanmen Tianzong's powerful rise and the fact that he seemed to have some connection with the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was even easier to touch the nerves of the various powers of the Great Qin Dynasty.
This enormous power far surpassed the Celeritas Sword Sect.
Ancestor Qing Wei thought proudly: "Don't mention a mere Xiao Yan, I think even that Xuan Gate's master Lin Feng wouldn't dare to mess around. He can only swallow this loss."
The only thing he needed to worry about was whether or not the Crown Prince of Chongyun was willing to be this hero. If the Celeritas Sword Sect used him like this, would it anger the heir of the Great Qin Dynasty.
When Daoist Tong Ling raised this question, Ancestor Qing Wei only lightly said: "Just do as I say. You don't need to ask about other things, I have my own plans."
The question raised by Daoist Tong Ling, how could he not have thought about it? It's just that Daoist Tong Ling didn't know some of the secrets of the Celeritas Sword Sect. Only they, these Yuanying level old ancestors, knew.
Long before he went to the sand continent to participate in the opening ceremony of Xuanmen Tianzong, the Celeritas Sword Sect's sect master and the sect elders had already made a decision to adjust the Celeritas Sword Sect's route in the future and get closer to the Great Qin Dynasty.
This time marrying Murong Yanran over could just deepen the relationship between the Celeritas Sword Sect and the Great Qin Dynasty. It was killing two birds with one stone. And with the Celeritas Sword Sect as a whole getting closer, Crown Prince Chongyun would naturally have a decision in his heart.
These things could even be discussed openly before the marriage, so Ancestor Qing Wei wasn't worried that Crown Prince Chongyun would be dissatisfied.
What he needed to plan now was how to let Murong Yanran really become the Crown Prince's concubine. As far as he knew, there were still a lot of people eyeing this position.
Ancestor Qing Wei lightly said: "You don't need to worry about other things. Go inform Yanran and let her be prepared."
Spiritual Master Tong Ling looked at the shocked Murong Yanran in front of him and thought of Ancestor Qing Wei's instructions. He secretly sighed and said: "Yanran you don't need to worry. This time you're marrying into the royal family as Crown Prince Chongyun's concubine. Your status is second only to the Crown Prince's concubine."
"And you have the sect backing you up. You don't need to worry about being bullied."
Murong Yanran was so stunned she couldn't speak. She just looked at Spiritual Master Tong Ling with a strange gaze, as if this was the first day she met this teacher.
Spiritual Master Tong Ling hardened his heart and said: "Could it be that you saw that Xiao Yan has soared to the sky now so you want to continue your former fate with him?"
Murong Yanran's eyes moved, her expression finally regaining its calm. Her gaze was a bit cold: "Whether it's the trash Xiao Yan back then or the Xiao Yan who has regained the title of genius now, breaking off the marriage is my choice. I have no complaints and no regrets."
"Then about the marriage between you and Crown Prince Chongyun?" Spiritual Master Tong Ling closely followed up with a question.
Murong Yanran gazed at the blue sky and white clouds outside the cave and lightly said: "Everything is up to Master."
"It's good that you can think it through." Spiritual Master Tong Ling patted Murong Yanran's shoulder and went out of the cave. She knew that her disciple needed to calm down.
Only Murong Yanran was left in the cave. She gently closed her eyes and sat on the spot motionlessly.
After a long time, her red lips opened slightly: "Master, I'm sorry."
I should be the master of my own life! I don't need a life arranged by others!
Murong Yanran opened her eyes and showed a self-mocking smile on her face: "The Crown Prince's concubine? So noble, but I don't care! If I let others choose a husband for me, why did I refuse the marriage with Xiao Yan back then? "
She jumped up and simply packed up her things. Then she calmly walked out of the cave. On the road, she greeted her fellow disciples as usual, very natural.
An hour later, Spiritual Master Tong Ling got the news that Murong Yanran had gone down the mountain.
"Silly, silly!" Spiritual Master Tong Ling secretly cursed. She wanted to report to Ancestor Qing Wei, but before leaving, she hesitated.
Perhaps because she was also a woman, she had a natural resistance to Ancestor Qing Wei's decision.
Spiritual Master Tong Ling shook her head and sighed: "I still have to report to Ancestor after all. At most, I can only buy you a little more time. Disciple, this is the only thing I can do for you."
Spiritual Master Tong Ling soon regretted it. When she reported the news to Ancestor Qing Wei, she clearly saw the usually calm old man's body tremble slightly.
"Go find … you must find this evil disciple!" Ancestor Qing Wei completely lost his composure. His former elegance and kindness all disappeared, and he suddenly burst into a roar.
Spiritual Master Tong Ling looked at him in shock: "Master, what on earth …"
Ancestor Qing Wei breathed heavily like a bellow. He said in a muffled voice: "I just contacted Crown Prince Chongyun, and he has said that he will come to Yunxing Peak in person to discuss this matter!"
Spiritual Master Tong Ling was shocked: "So soon …" She didn't dare to go on because she found that Ancestor Qing Wei's eyes had turned red. She hurriedly left to find Murong Yanran.
It took a long time for Ancestor Qing Wei to catch his breath. His old face was completely wrinkled like a chrysanthemum.
This time he was completely overjoyed. He thought that after marrying Crown Prince Chongyun, Murong Yanran would be overjoyed when she got the news.
He didn't expect that Murong Yanran would even give up being the crown prince's concubine and directly run away. Before Ancestor Qing Wei's side was stabilized, Murong Yanran first contacted Crown Prince Chongyun. The result was a complete tragedy.
Murong Yanran, the bride, running away would bring an extremely terrifying consequence.
Not to mention that Crown Prince Chongyun was stood up, Xiao Yan came to challenge but couldn't see her. This time the pressure from both sides was all on the Celeritas Sword Sect.
In fact, it was pressing down on Qing Qi alone.
The so-called lifting a rock and smashing one's own foot, this was exactly it.
Ancestor Qing Wei instantly felt that the whole world in front of him had turned black and white.
"That girl must be caught and brought back!"
… …
On Yujing Mountain, Zhu Yi took the new version of teaching materials to continue teaching. Xiao Budian was greedy and followed him.
Yang Qing stayed in the medicine valley to take care of the spirit grass and spirit medicine. Although his Taiyin True Water was not like the Tianyi True Water that could transform everything, it was also a spirit spring water that was beneficial to life and had a wonderful effect in irrigating the medicine field.
Yue Hongyan continued to figure out the Tao. After practicing the Eight Diagrams Great Way of Heaven, she felt that her Tao had improved again. She believed that it wouldn't be long before she could condense a pill cauldron.
Lin Feng sent away a few disciples and his own consciousness entered a small world of heaven.
In this purple qi world, the little taotie Tuntun was anxiously circling. That was not only the anxiety brought about by the restriction of freedom, but also the irritation of a greedy person facing delicious food in front of him but he couldn't enjoy it.
For Tuntun, Lin Feng's Cyclic Sky Purple Qi was one of the most delicious things she had ever eaten in her life.
If she hadn't been taught a lesson by Lin Feng before, she would have devoured this small world made of Cyclic Sky Purple Qi that trapped her.
Seeing Lin Feng come, she snorted and curled her lips. "Big liar, when are you going to let me out? Also, you said so many delicious things, are you going to keep your promise? "
Lin Feng also curled his lips. "That last sentence is the main point, right?"
Tuntun blushed and said fiercely, "So what if it is? I'm a taotie! "
"Don't panic, don't panic," said Lin Feng with a smile. "The dawn is right in front of us."
As he spoke, Lin Feng stretched out a finger and the Cyclic Sky Purple Qi that formed the small world dissipated. The cage that imprisoned Tuntun was released.
Tuntun was stunned for a moment before it cheered, "I'm finally free!"
She landed on the ground and greedily breathed in the rich spiritual qi on Yujing Mountain. Looking at Yujing Mountain, her eyes immediately widened. "Great!
So many delicious things! "
