Chapter 449

Zhan Ning 'er said to Ye Xiaotian, "The Xia clan's ancestor already knows your identity."

Ye Xiaotian frowned, "What identity do I have?"

Zhan Ning 'er teased him, "You're so happy here that you're not homesick anymore? Have you forgotten your identity as the Venerable of the Gu God Sect? "

Ye Xiaotian fell silent. Zhan Ning 'er said, "The Xia clan's ancestor said that unless you can get the Gu God Sect to cancel the rule that the Venerable cannot marry and have children, she will not marry her precious great-granddaughter to you."

Ye Xiaotian said awkwardly, "It's already very difficult to get those stubborn old people in the mountains to be flexible. I'm afraid it's even more difficult to get them to cancel this rule. You have to know, on the surface, this seems to be a problem of whether the Sect Leader can marry and have children, but in reality, it involves how the Gu God Sect will be passed down.

Once the Sect Leader can marry and have children, it means that he has the opportunity to turn the Gu God Sect into a family. And once it is controlled by a family, I'm afraid that their ambition will not be as simple as being a king in the deep mountains and forests. Those old fellows see this very clearly. "

Zhan Ning 'er glanced at him and said, "You can force them to agree to let you travel the world for 20 years and tacitly allow you to marry and have children. Can't you force them to agree to more?"

Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly, "Do you know what Gedwa said to me? He said that if I push them too far, they will not hesitate to turn me into a living dead that can be manipulated by anyone! Miss Ning 'er, there is a limit to a person's patience. They have already made a lot of concessions, so I don't dare to push them too hard. They have to give me some time and let me take it step by step. If I act too hastily, it will backfire. "

Zhan Ning 'er sneered, "How long will it take to take it step by step? Five years? Ten years? Or thirty years? Fifty years? Before you can be sure if you can convince them, let Yingying follow you first? What if you still can't convince the elders after 20 years? Will you leave your wife and children and follow them back to the mountains? Have you ever thought that you're being selfish? "

Ye Xiaotian listened to her scolding with his eyelids drooping, but when he heard this, he slowly raised his eyes and asked seriously, "Then what do you think I should do? Should I tell her that following me will harm her and let her find a good man to marry? Should I tell her that following me will harm her and let her find a good man to marry her? I'm not a saint! "

"I will slowly think of a way," Zhan Zhan Ning 'er sneered, "Zhan Ning!" Zhan Zhan Tian said coldly. "Zhan Zs!"

Ye Xiaotian stared at her and said word by word, "I'll think of a way slowly. Giving up is impossible!"

After Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, he turned around and left. Zhan Ning 'er blurted out, "What a nice way to put it! Why did you give up on Xue Shuiwu then? You've never given up on Yingying. At the end of the day, you're just greedy for Yingying's beauty and her family background! "

Ye Xiaotian stopped in his tracks. Zhan Ning 'er bit her lower lip, feeling a sudden sense of regret. She did not understand why she had said such harsh words. She was already regretting her words but she could not find a way to apologize to Ye Xiaotian.

Ye Xiaotian did not turn around. He straightened his back and said in a low voice, "If Shuiwu had said that she would never leave me no matter what when her mother tried to stop us from being together, I would never have left her! She did not, but Yingying did! "

"As long as she doesn't betray me, I will never betray her!" "As long as she doesn't betray me, I will never betray her!" Ye Xiaotian took steady steps forward. It was as if the hundreds of brothers of the Xia Family were standing in front of him. His footsteps did not hesitate and he walked forward proudly.

"As long as she doesn't betray me, I will never betray her!" These words were like a great bell, booming in Zhan Ning 'er's heart. Looking at Ye Xiaotian's tall and straight back, Zhan Ning' er's lacquered eyes gradually became blurred.

… …

The five chefs of the Ye Family had finished preparing a feast. When Ye Xiaotian heard the news from Little Miss Ye, he invited Zhan Ning 'er to the Tingyu Pavilion for the feast.

At this moment, Ye Xiaotian's emotions had calmed down. He said to Zhan Ning 'er, "If I was rude in any way, please forgive me. I will have to trouble you to make a trip to Yingying's place. Please tell her that I will not let her wait for too long! "

She clearly liked him in her heart, but she still had to act as a go-between for another woman. To whom could Zhan Ning 'er complain about the hidden bitterness in her heart? She lightly glanced at Ye Xiaotian, nodded silently, and did not make a sound.

Ye Xiaotian turned sideways and invited her, "The feast has been prepared, and it is set up in the Tingyu Pavilion. Please, you have high standards. Help me take a look if there is anything wrong with my mansion's garden. I will have to trouble you to give me a pointer or two, so that I can correct it in time. "

Zhan Ning 'er snorted and said, "I have seen it just now. It is quite imposing, and the scenery is unique. If we only talk about the size of the garden, I am afraid that no one in Gourd County can compare. You are just a Warden. Being so ostentatious, aren't you afraid that the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the registrar, and those who are higher than you will be unhappy? "

Ye Xiaotian said indifferently, "Even if they are unhappy, what can they do to me? To tell you the truth, it seems that I am born to be at odds with those people of high status and power. Even if I tuck my tail between my legs and don't provoke them, I can always attract their hostility. Since that is the case, why should I be stifled? "

The corner of Zhan Ning 'er's mouth lightly twitched.

The Tingyu Pavilion was a vermilion hall. The roof was a rolling canopy style, the eaves were light, and there were exquisite hangings under the eaves. Between the thick red pillars were slightly curved goose neck armchairs. The design was simple and natural, simple and elegant.

In front of the Tingyu Pavilion was a pool of water. The water was drawn from the spring in the mountains. The spring water was clear, and through a secret passage, it converged with the river that led to the foot of the mountain. Half of the Tingyu Pavilion was built on the water. The windows were open, and in the middle of the pavilion, there was a pool of clear water in front of them. There were a few clusters of tall bamboo on the edge of the water, making it look very elegant.

Yaoyao and Qian Qingqing were very close. Although the two were more than ten years apart in age, they were like a pair of best friends. However, if one were to overhear their conversation at this time, it would inevitably make one laugh.

Yaoyao was still a little girl. When she was with Qian Qingqing, they naturally wouldn't talk about things like rouge, makeup, jewelry, or love. They were actually talking about Yaoyao's favorite novel, "Journey to the West".

In fact, Qian Qingqing had never read this book. On the way from Guiyang to Hulu County, she often heard Yaoyao tell this story. After arriving at Hulu County, Qian Qingqing specially looked around and bought a copy. She read it carefully, just to catch Yaoyao's fancy.

Now that Qian Qingqing had already read this book carefully, Yaoyao had listened to Shuiwu's stories every night before she went to bed. Her understanding of this story was naturally not as comprehensive as Qian Qingqing's, so the two actually talked about "Journey to the West" in the hall for half a day.

Yaoyao held Qian Qingqing's hand and entered the Rain Listening Pavilion. Her interest did not diminish as she asked, "Sister Qingqing, that Great Sage Sun fought with the spider spirits for so long. Why didn't he use the Body Locking Technique to freeze them in place? That would have saved so much trouble."

Zhan Ning 'er and Ye Xiaotian just happened to enter the pavilion from the other side. Hearing this, Zhan Ning' er snorted coldly and glared at Ye Xiaotian. She said meaningfully, "Isn't that simple? When a man sees a beautiful woman, how can he still maintain his composure?"

Qian Qingqing smiled at Zhan Ning 'er and said, "Miss Zhan, please don't misunderstand. Actually, I am …"

Zhan Ning 'er retorted, "I know you are the wife of this county's deputy, but I'm not saying anything. I'm just saying, no matter how much of a gentleman he pretends to be, every single one of them is a lecher!"

Mr. Dong Xuebing was too old, and his brain was filled with worms. He did not react to Zhan Ning 'er's words at all. Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi seemed to have been infected by Ye Xiaotian. They raised their hands in embarrassment and rubbed their noses.

Ye Xiaotian rubbed his nose and laughed dryly, "Come, come, come. Everyone, please take a seat. Miss Ning 'er, Sister-in-law Zhao, please take a seat."

Ye Xiaotian actually understood why Zhan Ning 'er was always against him. It was just that some things were missed. Even though he understood Miss Zhan's affection for him, and he quite liked this shrewish Miss Zhan, there was nothing he could do about it.

If Yingying was really a girl who sold pears, and Ning 'er was a prostitute who sold her skills in the pugilistic world, Old Master Ye would probably be full of confidence and generosity as he said to them, "I see that both of you are slender and charming, so I'll take you in. In the future, when you serve me on my pillow, I'll make sure you eat well, drink well, and eat well. You won't have to go through all the hardships of being a vagabond!"

However, these two ladies had powerful backgrounds. If he, Ye Xiaotian, wanted to marry one of them, he would have to go through all sorts of difficulties. It was no less difficult than choosing a son-in-law. How could he possibly want to enjoy the blessings of having two beauties on his left and right?

Ye Xiaotian still had a little bit of self-awareness about himself. He did not dare to provoke them, so naturally, he did not dare to take the bait. But because of this, he subconsciously felt that he had betrayed the beauties, so he was unusually tolerant of Zhan Ning 'er's occasional tantrums.

Although Yaoyao felt that this Miss Ning 'er's demeanor was a little strange. She always talked back to her Brother Xiaotian, but she could not see through the ambiguous relationship between the two. Qian Qingqing's heart was clear, so he did not feel offended. He only smiled slightly and sat down beside Yaoyao.

Although Zhan Ning 'er talked back to Ye Xiaotian, she did not give up her responsibility. She boldly sat down on the right side of Ye Xiaotian. This way, on the left side of Ye Xiaotian was Yaoyao, next to Yaoyao was Qian Qingqing, and on the right side was Zhan Ning' er.

Mao Wenzhi and Hua Yunfei were not willing to sit next to this tigress, so they pressed Old Man Dong Tian down. Ye Xiaotian raised his cup and said passionately, "Today, this Ye is moving into a new residence, and coincidentally, Miss Zhan has come from afar. This can be said to be a double blessing. Come, let us toast this cup of wine to celebrate!"

There was also a wine cup in front of Yaoyao, but it was filled with fruit juice. Yaoyao raised the wine cup and clinked it with Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian then turned to Zhan Ning 'er on the right side. Zhan Ning' er ignored him and raised the wine cup to take a sip.

Ye Xiaotian met with a soft rebuff, but his expression did not change. His smile was still the same, and he naturally lowered the wine cup that he raised, clinking it with the plate in front of Zhan Ning 'er. Then, he drank it in one gulp. Zhan Ning 'er looked at him and said, "You've already become an official, and you've also built your own residence. It seems like you're only lacking a mistress. There must be quite a number of people fighting to marry off their daughters to you."

Before Ye Xiaotian could say anything, Hua Yunfei said, "Miss Zhan, with my older brother's current status, it's not difficult to find a satisfactory wife. However, my older brother has always kept his chastity. Look at my older brother's residence, there isn't even a single woman."

Mao Wenzhi continued, "That's right! My older brother has been an official for so long, and he has both power and money, but he hasn't even hooked up with a single woman. "

Zhan Ning 'er's heart felt a little better. She glanced at Ye Xiaotian and said, "Yingying is my best friend, and I treat her like my own younger sister. Now that the two of you are separated, you're not allowed to do anything that would let her down!"

Ye Xiaotian let out a long sigh, and looked at the bamboo forest in front of him through the window. His gaze suddenly deepened, and he used a deep and magnetic voice to recite, "Out of the east gate, there are as many women as the clouds. Although there are as many as the clouds, I still think of them. Even if there are three thousand waters, I, Ye Xiaotian, will only take a ladle to drink. May I be like the stars, like the moon, and shine brightly every night … Miss Ning 'er, if you don't believe me, why don't you take a look at my residence, and see if there's a young woman in her prime? "

Zhan Ning 'er's expression softened a little, and she nodded slightly, "Forget it. Actually, I'm just giving you a hint …"

Before Zhan Ning 'er could finish her sentence, an oriole-like cheer came from the side of the pavilion, "Little Brother Tian, I'm back!"

Ye Xiaotian looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a young Miao girl, wearing a short shirt with narrow sleeves and a pair of embroidered bell-bottoms. Her slender waist was tied with an embroidered apron, and a bright silver necklace around her neck. She was charming and charming, and more beautiful than a flower.

Ye Xiaotian was dumbfounded, and he couldn't continue pretending to be a Casanova anymore.
