55: Chapter 55 Leaving
"The Yuxu Sect? But our Chen Family has no connections." Chen Yuanwu said helplessly.
Seeing that Song Mingxue ignored him, he had no choice but to shut up and say no more.
However, Chen Changqing and the others caught on to something.
Chen Changqing asked, "Since Fellow Daoist Song says so, you must have a way to let Qingling join the Yuxu Sect."
Song Mingxue nodded and admitted, "That is correct. Three months later, the Yuxu Sect will open its mountain gates wide to accept Disciples. Even if you have Cultivated for many years, as long as your Aptitude, Spiritual Root, and bone age are all qualified, and your background is clean, you can join the Yuxu Sect."
Song Mingxue paused for a moment and continued, "Besides that, the various Elders of the Yuxu Sect will also take in Disciples at that time. With Fellow Daoist Li's talent, she will definitely catch the eye of those Purple Mansion Elders."
After listening, Chen Changqing turned to look at Li Qingling and Chen Yuanjin, asking for their opinions.
The two looked straight at Chen Changqing and nodded.
"Fellow Daoist Song is helping with all her might, what do you need our Chen Family to do for you?" Chen Changqing bluntly asked. He needed to ask clearly the reason why the other party was helping them like this, otherwise he wouldn't trust Song Mingxue so much.
"You may not know this, but although the Yuxu Sect is one of the eleven Golden Core forces in Dayan, controlling the territory of a province, and possesses quite massive resources, the Disciples under its gate are extremely numerous. Not to mention ordinary Disciples, even the competition among fellow Senior Brothers is extremely tragic. Often, falling behind a single step results in being far surpassed by other Senior Brothers.
I have no other requests; I only need Fellow Daoist Li to join hands with me after entering the mountain gate so that we can better survive in the Yuxu Sect. With Fellow Daoist Li's talent, she is completely capable of lending me a hand. Of course, we will not treat Fellow Daoist Li unfairly either," Song Mingxue stated her trade.
Several people nodded. If Song Mingxue had demands, they would instead believe her words; if she had no demands, they would have to be vigilant against her intentions.
"Since that is the case, when will Fellow Daoist Song set off? I can also inform the Elders of my Family." Chen Changqing said.
"Now, my fourth uncle is already waiting outside. Of course, if you have concerns, I can make a Heart Demon blood oath with Fellow Daoist Li. Fellow Daoist Li and I will definitely support each other in the Yuxu Sect, and neither party is allowed to stab the other in the back." As Song Mingxue spoke, she saw the concerns of several people and immediately expressed her willingness to make a Heart Demon blood oath.
"Senior Song is waiting outside?" Hearing this, several people were first startled, not expecting a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to be willing to wait outside for several people's decision over such a matter.
After Song Mingxue finished speaking, Chen Changqing and the others looked at each other and nodded.
After the two made the Heart Demon blood oath,
Chen Changqing continued, "Then would Fellow Daoist Song allow us to explain some things to Qingling first? Would that be okay?"
"Yes, but time is short. The Yun Family will arrive at any time," Song Mingxue reminded, then consciously walked out of the house.
"Understood, we will be as quick as possible." Chen Changqing pulled Li Qingling along, and the other few also gave the two time to be alone.
...
"Qingling, the journey this time is very far, keep this Storage Pouch." Chen Changqing took out a Storage Pouch.
"Brother…" Li Qingling's eyes carried reluctance, but she had to leave, otherwise she would cause trouble for the Family.
"Qingling, Brother will definitely go look for you. It's also my fault for being too weak; facing this kind of matter, Brother cannot help at all. If you want to blame someone, blame Brother!" Chen Changqing's eyes also revealed reluctance.
"It has nothing to do with Brother or the Family, it only has to do with my own weakness. When I return, I will definitely Cultivate well. Will you be willing to marry me by then?" Li Qingling stated her long-held wish.
"Definitely. When Brother reaches Foundation Establishment, I will definitely go see you."
"Mhm." Li Qingling wiped away her tears, walked out of the door, said goodbye to everyone one by one, and then left following Song Mingxue.
Chen Changqing just silently watched the backs of the two.
"Are you okay?" Chen Changyue walked over and asked.
Chen Changqing only shook his head. With this departure, he did not know how long it would be before they could meet again.
...
"Mingxue, did you bring her?" The Grey-robed Elder looked at the two. He was precisely the one who, along with others, discovered the disguise of Chen Changqing and the other early that day. However, it was precisely because of them that they dared to snatch people from the Yun Family's hands at this time.
"Mhm, let's go, Fourth Uncle."
"Senior Song." Li Qingling respectfully bowed.
"Mhm, let's go together. As long as you can strive for status and resources for Mingxue, our Song Family will never treat you unfairly," Song Shuhe said indifferently.
Afterwards, he took out a flying boat from the Storage Pouch, and the three walked up onto it. He then drove the flying boat to Ascend, heading towards the north.
Standing on the boat, Li Qingling kept gazing into the distance at the road they had traveled before.
...
In the month after Li Qingling left, Chen Xuanyi also brought people to the market.
During this period, the Yun Family did indeed send people to propose marriage, but fortunately, Chen Xuanyi politely declined the other party using the fact that Li Qingling had already left the Taihe Market to head to the Yuxu Sect.
After being rejected, the people of the Yun Family wore anger on their Faces, and when leaving, they even released harsh words, letting the Cultivators of the Chen Family know the consequences of offending the Yun Family. Since the Chen Family refuses to drink to a toast, then they should not blame them for feeding a forfeit.
After all, how could they not know that in order to prevent Li Qingling from marrying into their Yun Family, the Chen Family chose to let her leave and head to the Yuxu Sect?
After they left, through some Cultivators, they learned that the Song Family was behind the mischief, and then they made a mighty fuss to run to the Song Family to demand accountability.
However, the Song Family was, after all, a force of the same level as their Yun Family. At most, the Song Family was in the wrong and compensated some gifts, but in the end, it still ended in nothing definite.
Chen Changqing and the others had heavy expressions; they were truly afraid that the Yun Family would look for trouble. Fortunately, they did not make this matter public, otherwise the two families would be even more irredeemable, and it would truly become an endless relationship of life and death.
After all, if even a Foundation Establishment Family dared to brush off the Face of the Yun Family, how would other families view them?
The members of the Chen Family could only accept things as they came and settle down, taking over all the shops first to enhance their own Family's strength. Anyway, they had already offended the Yun Family; at most, they would remind the members of the Chen Family to be more careful outside. As long as Chen Xuanyi went back to Qingyang Mountain to hold down the fort, with his strength and the Family's Formation, even if the Yun Family dispatched or hired Cultivators to make a move against them, they would not fear.
"There are a total of seven shops. The clansmen I brought can manage about three of them. I originally planned to provide the Spirit Stone income from renting out two of those shops unconditionally to Fellow Daoist Lin Feng. Now it seems that won't work," Chen Xuanyi slowly said.
Chen Changqing and the others also seconded this. If they were to give the shop's income to Lin Feng right now, and they happened to have just offended the Yun Family, wouldn't that be equivalent to dragging Lin Feng into this as well? By then, not only would Lin Feng not have a favorable impression of the Chen Family, but he would instead develop thoughts of looking down on the Chen Family.
