He slept until the sun was high up in the sky. When he got up, he sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. It was unbelievable that he had changed from Guo Jianjun to Yue Qianchou. He murmured, "Yue Qianchou, this name has a good meaning. It means there are no worries, right? I wonder what he looks like in person. "
Thinking of this, he called for his maid, Qingcao, to help him wash up and change his clothes. After that, he sat in front of the bronze mirror. The bronze mirror was not as clear as the mirror in his previous life. Yue Qianchou was a little listless. No matter how unclear he was, he could roughly see his appearance. Compared to the handsome Boss Guo in his previous life, his current appearance was simply too ordinary. The only good thing about him was that he was younger than in his previous life. He was only 16 years old this year.
He comforted himself by thinking that it was probably the mirror's problem. He ordered Qingcao to prepare a basin of ink. His ordinary face was reflected in the basin. Yue Qianchou completely gave up. Last night, he was still dreaming of an immortal sister, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Now, he could only dream.
Someone reported to the authorities that the bodies of a man and a woman were found outside the city. After an investigation by the authorities, they confirmed that the dead were Xue Gaibao and his personal maid from the Yue Residence. They had probably encountered bandits and were killed.
After the Yue Residence received the news, they sent people to confirm the identities of the dead. When she learned that Xue Gaibao was dead, Xue Erniang cried her heart out. However, the authorities could not find out who the murderer was. When Yue Qianchou found out, he could not help but admire his father's ruthlessness. He did not expect that Yue Changgui was afraid that the news would leak, so he killed the maid as well.
A few days later, a funeral was held in the Yue Residence. There were a lot of monks and Daoists, and it was noisy for a few days. The father and son also pretended to be sad. They did not need to be taught to do this, and they pretended to be good at it.
Xue Erniang had been crying for the past few days, nagging about how the Xue Family was going to die out without descendants. Later on, she didn't know who came up with the idea, but she pulled Yue Qianchou and begged him to have a few more sons so that one of them could inherit the Xue Family's bloodline. This made Yue Changgui's face turn green, and his teeth hurt. Yue Qianchou stammered as he dealt with it.
Several days later, after Xue Gaibao's burial, Xue Erniang's grief subsided, she sent someone to summon her son. When Yue Qianchou heard his mother call him, his scalp went numb. These few days, he had been scared by his mother's crying. He even regretted killing Xue Gaibao back then. His father was smart and found an excuse to hide outside.
Seeing that his mother had stopped crying, Yue Qianchou heaved a sigh of relief and sat down obediently. Mistress Xue held a sparkling and translucent jade pendant in her hand and stared at it in a daze. Not long after, her eyes turned red again, and tears welled up in them. "Mother, why did you call me here?" Afraid that she would cry again, Yue Qianchou quickly changed the topic.
"Mother, why did you call me here?" Afraid that she would cry again, Yue Qianchou quickly changed the topic. Xue Erniang nodded, and told him the reason why she called her son over.
It turned out that the Xue family was established in the generation of Xue Erniang's great-grandfather. It was said that the ancestor of the Xue family once saved an immortal, and that immortal helped the Xue family to build a business and left a jade pendant. Before he left, he told the Xue family that he could help the Xue family again in the future, and if they had any requests, they could break the jade pendant and he would come.
At that time, the ancestor of the Xue family was still young, unmarried, and honest. He never intended to ask for help from an immortal again, so he passed down the jade pendant as a family heirloom. When it came to the generation of Xue Erniang's father, he didn't dare to tell his eldest son about the jade pendant. Before he died, he gave the jade pendant to his daughter, and told her that if there was a good man among her brother's children, the jade pendant could be passed on to him. If there wasn't, he would rather let the jade pendant become an ordinary item than disturb the immortal.
Now that the only descendant of the Xue family had died, there was no way to pass the jade pendant on. What Xue Erniang meant was that she wanted to use the jade pendant to make a deal with her son. As long as her son promised to adopt one of his children to inherit the Xue family's bloodline, she was willing to leave the jade pendant in her hand to her son, and not pass it on to the Xue family.
After listening to his mother's words, Yue Qianchou's eyes immediately emitted a green light. He stared at the jade pendant in his mother's hand, and swallowed with difficulty. Ever since he found out that there were immortals in this world, he had been obsessed with them! He had never expected that this matter, which he had been unable to find a way out, would be in the hands of his mother.
However, when his mother brought up the matter of adopting a son, her father strongly opposed it. In this world, the responsibility of having children was as great as the heavens. The Yue family didn't have a lot of people to begin with, and for three consecutive generations, they only had one son. When Yue Qianchou went missing, Yue Changgui was so anxious that his mouth grew a circle of blisters. If his son really had a promising future and could have one or two more children, he would be overjoyed. How could he bear to let someone else adopt a son? At that time, he had flatly rejected the idea.
Can I make the decision on this matter? Thinking of this, Yue Qianchou embarrassedly said, "Mother, why don't you ask father? I'm afraid I can't make the decision on this matter."
"This child, you can talk things through with your father. What else do I need to say to you? I'm telling you all this because I want you to beg your father. Your father has always been obedient to you, so it's better for you to beg him. "Xue Erniang said angrily.
Heh! She even used a roundabout way to save the country. Yue Qianchou laughed in his heart and said, "Mother, why don't you let father know about the jade pendant? Maybe father will agree."
Xue Erniang clenched her teeth and said, "Why didn't I tell him? He didn't agree that day. That night, I told him about the jade pendant. That dead man is stubborn, he just won't agree."
"Hehe!" Yue Qianchou scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "If father doesn't agree, then there's nothing I can do." Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Xue Erniang's tears would immediately fall.
F * ck! It's happening again. Yue Qianchou's scalp went numb. He quickly begged for mercy, "Mother, don't cry. I'll go and beg father, okay?"
"Really?" Xue Erniang asked while wiping her tears. Yue Qianchou didn't dare to say anything else. He nodded his head vigorously and agreed.
…
Two days later, in the backyard, the father and son sat in front of a stone table.
"Father, immortals! You won't agree to such a good thing? Isn't it just adopting a son? When the time comes, our son will have seven or eight children, and you can choose as you please. "Yue Qianchou said anxiously.
"Bastard! How can the Yue Clan's descendant be adopted by someone else? If word of this gets out, where do you want me to put my old face? After I die, how will I face my ancestors?! "Yue Changgui was furious.
This old fellow was so stubborn that his mouth was about to break from all the friction! Yue Qianchou cursed in his heart. He made it clear, "I want the jade pendant in mother's hands."
"Fool!" Yue Changgui scolded. He stood up and pointed at his son, scolding, "If you don't agree now, are you afraid that the jade pendant will run away? After we are husband and wife, everything in the Yue Clan will be yours. Do you still need to use your own son to exchange for it? Fool! "
"Uh …" Yue Qianchou was stunned. He finally knew what his father was planning. He thought to himself, Ruthless! This old fellow wants to eat everything! He doesn't even want to take a single cent out. He's too black-hearted! After standing up, he said in a deep voice, "Father, I want to cultivate!"
Yue Changgui was startled. He immediately shook his head and said, "No! Although cultivating is good, I've never heard of an immortal being able to carry on the family line. My Yue Clan only has one son. If you leave, who will carry on the family line for my Yue Clan? "
So this was what the old fellow was worried about. It seemed that in the online novels he read in his previous life, immortals were able to have children. Yue Qianchou's thoughts turned, and he had an idea. Thus, he made up a story about a chance encounter with an immortal. From their mouths, he found out that not only could immortals carry on the family line, but they also had the story of a cultivation clan that had been passed down for thousands of years. In short, Yue Changgui was dumbfounded. Finally, Yue Qianchou asked, "Father! Don't you want my Yue Clan to become an immortal cultivation clan that will exist forever? "
Yue Changgui didn't think that his son would lie to him. To be able to describe the matters of immortal cultivation so vividly, it couldn't be a lie. How could an ordinary person know about this? He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Is my son telling the truth? You really didn't lie to me?"
Yue Qianchou knew that his father was moved. He added fuel to the fire and made a promise. Yue Changgui immediately agreed. The two of them immediately went to find Xue Erniang.
…
I'm rich! I'm rich! Holding the sparkling and translucent jade pendant in both hands, Yue Qianchou was extremely excited. He finally got his hands on it. He wanted to smash the jade pendant on the spot. He couldn't wait to leave with the immortal. Damn it, that's an immortal! It doesn't matter if I lose a few hundred million in UBS. Even if it's a few hundred million, I won't even look at it. If it wasn't for Yue Changgui pulling him to take a bath and burn incense to pay respect to the immortal, he would have really done it.
At first, when Xue Erniang heard that her son was going to leave with the immortal, she didn't want to inherit the Xue Clan's bloodline anymore. She refused to hand over the jade pendant no matter what. But how could she resist this father and son who had the same opinion? One old and one young, one coaxed and deceived. After a lot of effort, they finally got the jade pendant.
In the back garden, an incense table was set up. After taking a bath, Yue Qianchou knelt there, excited and nervous. He held the jade pendant and trembled non-stop. At the last moment, he was worried about personal gains and losses. One moment, he was thinking about whether the jade pendant was really useful! The next moment, he was thinking about whether the immortal would take him away when he came! All kinds of strange thoughts came to his mind.
Knowing that her son was going to leave, Xue Erniang leaned on her husband's arms and wiped away her tears. Yue Qianchou, who was kneeling there, turned his head to look at the two of them and said, "My son is going to fall!" In fact, he had said the same thing three times. Every time, he just said it but didn't do it. It could be seen that this guy was indeed a little nervous.
When he said the same thing for the seventh time, Yue Changgui was angry. He walked over and grabbed the jade pendant in his hand. "Pa!" The jade pendant shattered on the ground. Suddenly, the whole back garden became strangely quiet. Xue Erniang also stopped crying and looked around with her eyes wide open.
