Killing God - Chapter 329

Chapter 329 Advise Marriage
Mrs. Liu was shocked. She hurriedly went over and opened the door. Sure enough, she saw Zhong Liancheng standing outside the door. Next to him was a servant carrying a large bag and a pile of things. His face was wrapped in red paper, making him look very happy.

Zhong Liancheng’s face was still slightly overly drunk. When he saw Mrs. Liu, he smiled and nodded. However, Mrs. Liu seemed a little nervous. She lowered her head and said, “Master, why are you here?”

When the Liu Clan brought the young Zhong Qingzhu to the Zhong Clan in the past, the mother and daughter were in a miserable situation. After the Zhong Clan took them in, they did not have much of a good life. It was just a humble room for one mouthful of food, while the Liu Clan had to help in the kitchen. Nobody would look up to them on a normal day, As for Zhong Liancheng, the high and mighty Patriarch of the Zhong Clan, he wouldn’t even glance at them. However, even so, Mrs. Liu was still very grateful to the Zhong Clan. After all, if the Zhong Clan hadn’t taken them in back then, they might not have been able to survive until today.

Of course, today was different from the past. After Zhong Qingzhu was accidentally chosen to join the High Firmament Sect by the Daoist Priest, he gradually revealed his talent in cultivation. Especially after breaking through to the Origin Condensation Realm and becoming a direct disciple, he was quickly accepted as a disciple by Elder Le Jingshan of the Array Hall. His future was great. Even among the younger generation disciples of the High Firmament Sect, he was a top figure. With such great natural luck, she had long been regarded as one of the greatest hopes of the Zhong Clan in the circle of the aristocratic families of Floating Cloud City, on par with Zhong Qinglu. It could even be said that before Zhong Qinglu was officially accepted by Elder Yunni, Zhong Qingzhu was the only seed of hope for the Zhong Clan.

Thanks to her daughter, The position and circumstances of the Liu Clan in the Zhong Clan had naturally undergone tremendous changes. The cook’s work had long since been stopped. She had also moved from the dilapidated cottage to this small courtyard on the second floor. From this, it could be seen how much the Zhong Clan valued Zhong Qingzhu. However, Mrs. Liu was only an ordinary mortal. In her heart, she still held Zhong Liancheng in great awe. Even the greetings she greeted during the meeting were still the same as before.

Zhong Liancheng waved his hand, and the servant behind him walked over and placed the big and small red bags and baskets beside Mrs. Liu. After saluting Zhong Liancheng, he retreated. Zhong Liancheng smiled and said, “Junior Sister, it seems like the New Year is coming. I brought some New Year gifts over. You keep them first. If there’s not enough, I’ll have them delivered later.”

Mrs. Liu’s face was filled with gratitude, but there was a stack of words in her mouth, “Enough, enough, Eldest Master is really too kind to us.”

Zhong Liancheng chuckled and glanced at the small building in the garden. Then, he said to Mrs. Liu, “Oh right, I heard that Qingzhu came back a few days ago. Has he stayed at home and never returned to the mountain?” “I remember that she wasn’t like this in the past. Could it be that something unexpected happened to her cultivation and hurt her body?” He said with a look of concern.

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment and said, “I don’t think so. I don’t know much about cultivation. However, looking at Qingzhu’s appearance, it doesn’t seem like he has any injuries. Even though he likes to sit alone these past few days, he doesn’t speak much. I’m a little worried after watching from the side.”

“Oh!” Zhong Liancheng’s expression became a little more serious. “So that’s the case, but I wonder what Qing Zhu has in mind. Sister, you also waited until now. Qing Zhu is a promising person now. She and Qing Lu are shouldering the future hope of our Zhong Clan, so if there is anything you want me to do as the Clan Master’s helper, just say it.”

Mrs. Liu nodded her head repeatedly and said, “Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master.”

Zhong Liancheng laughed heartily. His words seemed to be straightforward. Originally, it was about time for him to leave. However, for some reason, Zhong Liancheng did not have any intention of leaving. Instead, he glanced at the small building and suddenly said to the Liu family, “Junior sister, there is something that just occurred to me. Let me tell you.”

Mrs. Liu said, “Master, please speak.”

Zhong Liancheng smiled faintly and said, “Qingzhu is already nineteen this year, right? Unknowingly, she has also grown into a big girl. The so-called big life marriage, have you ever thought of finding a husband for Qingzhu?”

Mrs. Liu was stunned. She seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said with some uncertainty, “Master, I heard that cultivators like Miss Qing Lu and Qingzhu rarely talk about marriage. Even if they do, they seem to be a bit later than normal people.”

Zhong Liancheng waved his hand and smiled, “That’s nothing more than following the footsteps of others. No matter how much she cultivates, isn’t she still your daughter? Or can you bear to see that Qingzhu is so focused on cultivation that she has delayed her youth?”

Mrs. Liu’s expression changed slightly, and she seemed to be somewhat enlightened and moved. She nodded and said, “Master’s words are also reasonable.”

Zhong Liancheng smiled and said, “Not exactly, How about this, if sister-in-law agrees, “I will trouble myself to help you walk around. I have chosen a handsome young man from so many generations of families in Floating Cloud City. I guarantee that regardless of his family background or cultivation realm, he will not be disgraced by Qing Zhu. At the same time, he will also enable our two families to be friendly by marriage and support each other. In the future, we will definitely have a prosperous and prosperous life. What do you think?”

Mrs. Liu’s heart skipped a beat. She was originally an ordinary woman. Ever since she was young, she had always respected Zhong Liancheng. Therefore, she had a happy expression on her face. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a call from behind her. However, it was Zhong Qingzhu’s voice. She said,

“Mother, what are you doing here?”

Mrs. Liu and Zhong Liancheng turned around at the same time and saw that Zhong Qingzhu had left the small building at some unknown time and walked over along the garden path. After a few days of absence, she was still as beautiful as before. However, between her picturesque eyebrows, there was a trace of worry and haggard look, as if she had lost a few points.

Zhong Qingzhu’s gaze paused on her mother’s face for a moment before looking at Zhong Liancheng. He bowed slightly and calmly said, “Hello, uncle.”

Zhong Liancheng frowned slightly and felt somewhat unhappy in his heart. Although he looked very polite to the Liu family before, there was still a sense of superiority in his bones. As for the Liu family’s woman, she had always been very careful and respectful in front of him. On the contrary, it gave Zhong Liancheng a good feeling of courtesy. It was just that Zhong Qingzhu came over and saw that although there was no lack of etiquette in her expression, everything was just a faint expression. This made Zhong Liancheng feel a little unhappy to be the benefactor.

But that’s the same thing, Unlike in the past, Zhong Qingzhu was no longer the weak little girl of the past, Right now, she was already a rising star in Lingxiao Sect. Even compared to Zhong Qinglu, the direct disciple of the Grand Elder of the Origin Core Realm of the Array Hall, Elder Le Jingshan, was not at all at a disadvantage. Apart from that, more importantly, the Zhong Clan had indeed been defeated for too long. Even Zhong Liancheng himself did not have much confidence.

Therefore, a look of displeasure flashed across his face. He quickly changed into a smile and a kind expression. However, under his pale face with green eyes, it still made people feel a little uncomfortable. He smiled and said, “Qingzhu, I’m talking to your mother about something.”

Zhong Qingzhu’s expression was calm, but a light flashed in the depths of her bright eyes. She saw Zhong Liancheng’s expression just now. She sneered in her heart, but her expression did not change much. Instead, she turned to look at Mrs. Liu and whispered, “Mother, what’s the matter?”

Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment before she told Zhong Qingzhu what Zhong Liancheng had just said. At the end, she seemed to be a little worried. She added, “Eldest Master also has good intentions to help us. Actually, I heard those words just now. Thinking about it carefully, it’s not like I didn’t say anything …”

“Mother!”

Zhong Qingzhu suddenly called out and interrupted Mrs. Liu. For some reason, her voice was much colder than before.

Mrs. Liu was stunned. She looked at her daughter and saw that the smile on Zhong Qingzhu’s face had disappeared. She stood there and looked at Zhong Liancheng with an indifferent and cold expression. She said, “Thank you very much, Uncle. It’s just that Qing Zhu’s dao practice is low. She doesn’t dare to slack off in her dao-seeking heart, so she doesn’t want to think about marriage matters for now.”

The corner of Zhong Liancheng’s eyes twitched. He forced a smile and said, “Haha, you little girl, is this embarrassing? Actually, it doesn’t matter anymore. Even in that sect, there are many Dao Cultivators who form Dao companions. Moreover, if you have a good husband and borrow the resources of the other party’s family, it will definitely be beneficial to your cultivation. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?”

Zhong Qingzhu laughed out loud. He had a gratified expression on his face. His expression turned cold again. He looked at him calmly and suddenly said, “Sister Qinglu is a little older than me. Uncle, why don’t you consider her first?”

Zhong Liancheng’s expression changed and he said resolutely, “Nonsense, how can Qing Lu go …”

Before he could finish his words, he seemed to have made a mistake and suddenly stopped. At the same time, he saw Zhong Qingzhu’s face flash with a cold and sarcastic expression.

Zhong Liancheng was enraged. He suddenly shook his sleeve and turned around to leave. At the same time, he said angrily, “Yellow-mouthed child, you don’t know good people. There will be a day when you will regret it!”

Zhong Qingzhu’s expression was indifferent as he coldly watched Zhong Liancheng stride forward. Mrs. Liu was shocked. She chased after him for a while and apologized repeatedly. She apologized a lot, but Zhong Liancheng did not respond at all. Mrs. Liu chased after Zhong Qingzhu for a long time before she turned around and complained to him,

“Qingzhu, how can you be so rude to the eldest master?”

Zhong Qingzhu sneered with disdain. Then, his expression turned gentle. He took Mrs. Liu’s arm and led her to her residence. At the same time, he said, “Mother, you don’t need to be so afraid of him. Am I not here now?”

Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, “I’m not afraid of Master, but I’m grateful to the Zhong Clan. If he hadn’t been kind enough to take us in back then, how could we be today?”

Zhong Qingzhu smiled faintly and didn’t pick her up. He changed the topic and asked, “Has Uncle ever mentioned this to you before? I don’t think I’ve ever known about it.”

Mrs. Liu said, “No, this is the first time I’ve heard from Master today. However, I feel that it really makes sense. Ah, Qingzhu, we’re all people from ordinary families. You’re lucky to have some opportunities, but we can’t be too ambitious. It’s best to be content and happy in life.”

After a moment of silence, Zhong Qingzhu whispered, “Isn’t your horizon too high …”

Mrs. Liu said, “Why don’t you think about it again …”

Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and said, “No need, Mother. There is no need to mention this matter in the future. I will make my own decisions for the rest of my life. Don’t worry about it.” As she spoke, her heart suddenly moved again. Her beautiful eyebrows slightly wrinkled. She thought back to what Zhong Liancheng had said just now and thought to herself, “Is this the aristocratic family he wants to collude with? So, he wants to use me as a pawn chip?”

Mrs. Liu choked for a moment. She couldn’t say anything, so she whispered, “Alright, alright, whatever you want. But we really can’t compare with those other young masters and young misses. We still have to be a little more self-centered.”

Zhong Qingzhu slowly raised his head and looked at the sky above the small garden. After a long time, a faint voice echoed in his heart,

“Can’t I compare … who am I inferior to …”
