Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 142 The Covenant
"Master..." Luo Lanmeng looked at Zhou Wanyao with pleading eyes.

Zhou Wanyao ignored her, but said to Xue Chang with a serious face: "Xue Shaoxia, Lanmeng is my apprentice brought up by myself, I treat her as... my own daughter, she can have a happy marriage, it is our greatest hope as elders You are young and promising, so you should also be a reasonable person. I would like to ask that even if marriage in the world does not depend on the fate of the parents, it must also be based on a family match. Otherwise, even if the marriage is due to a momentary affection, it will be too big in the future because of the gap between the two parties. Cracks were formed, which eventually led to unbearable things..." At the end, Zhou Wanyao's voice trembled slightly, and she quickly lowered her eyes.

"Master, no!" Luo Lanmeng said anxiously.

Zhou Wanyao ignored her, looked at Xue Chang, and said earnestly, "Young Xia Xue, I'm not boasting. My Goddess Palace is favored by the royal family. I have a fief from the imperial court and a salary from the imperial court. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. And Goddess Gong Nai is a well-known family of martial arts. Although it has not been revealed much in the past few decades, the inheritance of martial arts is not weaker than that of Qingcheng and Emei. Therefore, in the past, the disciples of the Goddess Palace were either married to royal princes or were from famous families.

Xue Shaoxia, I heard that you are a gangster with no background and no affiliation. Isn't it inappropriate to come to propose marriage empty-handed like this? "

Xue Chang understood the meaning of her words, and asked in a deep voice, "What does senior want me to do?"

Zhou Wanyao saw that Xue Chang was so upbeat, and immediately continued: "I think you must have seen the real face of my apprentice. She took the risk to save you, and naturally she has such a beautiful face, gentle and virtuous, and good-natured. For a woman of family background, how many people there are in the martial arts world, and there must be many suitors.

If you really want to propose marriage, you should at least have a lot of money, have a certain status in the martial arts, and the most important thing is that you have enough ability to protect the safety of my apprentice, so—"

Zhou Wanyao looked at Gu Shijing: "Your martial arts must be at least on par with my senior sister! As long as you can do the above points, we can consider agreeing to your marriage proposal."

After Zhou Wanyao finished speaking, even Gu Shijing, who was extremely dissatisfied with Xue Chang, was a little stunned.

Luo Lanmeng said very angrily: "Master, you are making things difficult for Xue Lang! The martial arts master is superb, even among the top few masters in the entire Bashu martial arts, and how old is Xue Lang? Compete with the master in martial arts, this condition we will never—”

Before Luo Lanmeng finished speaking, Zhou Wanyao pointed like the wind and hit her dumb and numb acupoints. She stretched out her hand and pulled her to the seat next to her. Ignoring the anger in her eyes, she looked at Xue Xue seriously. Chang said: "Young Xia Xue, these conditions are indeed difficult, but for the happiness of my apprentice, I will never change them!

I can also see that you are an ambitious young man. If you really love Lanmeng, you will definitely work hard to achieve the goal I set, right? ! "

Xue Chang had already been mentally prepared in advance. After hearing Zhou Wanyao's request, he didn't feel that it was making things difficult, because he felt that he could fulfill all these conditions, so he looked at Luo Lanmeng and said firmly. : "Senior is right. Since I want to marry Lanmeng as my wife, of course I must guarantee her life's happiness! I will try my best to meet the conditions you mentioned, and then I will propose marriage. However, the few conditions you mentioned This condition is a bit vague, and needs to be more clear, how much money does one have to be considered a lot of money? How does one qualify as having a certain status in the martial arts?"

Seeing Xue Chang's straightforward answer, Zhou Wanyao was also relieved. After thinking about it, she said in a gentle tone: "The Goddess Palace is not short of money, nor is it greedy for money, but at least I want to know that you have the ability to make Lanmeng's life worry-free. Right. So you should have a big mansion, more than a dozen servants, a net worth of tens of thousands of taels of silver, and a store run by yourself, so as not to be idle. As for having a certain status in the martial arts world, Well……"

"I don't know if creating a sect and proposing to Goddess Palace as the head is considered to have met this requirement?" Xue Chang interjected.

Both Gu Shijing and Zhou Wanyao were taken aback. Even though they seldom walked around the rivers and lakes, they knew that it was not easy to establish a sect in Dazhou. However, hearing Xue Chang's tone, he felt a little bit that he wanted to establish a sect on his own. be surprised.

But Zhou Wanyao didn't ask carefully, she nodded and said: "Of course. But—Xue Shaoxia, I have to remind you that Lanmeng has reached the age of getting married, and it is impossible to wait for you for a long time. If you can't wait for you within three years Meet our requirements, then I'm sorry, you'd better give up the idea of ​​proposing to my Goddess Palace!"

Xue Chang's answer was also straightforward: "Senior is right. But if I do it, will Goddess Palace fulfill its promise?"

"We will seriously consider your proposal."

"Just thinking about it?"

"Xue Shaoxia, even if there is a matchmaker's words, parents have to think twice, and it is impossible to agree immediately. This is common sense in the world. What's more, I have a special status in the Goddess Palace. If the time between your proposals is too long, there may be some Variables, such as the interference of the royal family, the emergence of other excellent suitors, etc., since my Goddess Palace can agree to consider your proposal, of course it will not be just perfunctory."

Xue Chang was silent.

Gu Shijing finally seized the opportunity and said: "Why, do you find it difficult? Let me tell you, this is because we have considered the relationship between you and Lanmeng, so we have lowered the requirements. If you can't even do these things, then you should do it as soon as possible." Dispel the idea of ​​proposing marriage, it is not so easy to climb high branches."

Luo Lanmeng was angry at the uncle's harsh words, but at the same time worried about Ailang's silence.

Of course, Xue Chang didn't shrink back, but his mind entered the system, and asked how long it would take him to complete the Nine Suns Divine Art. After getting a rough time, he looked at Zhou Wanyao and said loudly: "Senior, don't you?" It will take three years, and next year at the Shangyuan, the younger generation will go to Wushan Goddess Palace to propose marriage!"

The three people in the room were all taken aback.

Zhou Wanyao asked in disbelief: "Next year will be Shangyuan? It's less than a year, are you sure you're right?!"

"That's right, it will be the time of Shangyuan next year!" Xue Chang said firmly.

Zhou Wanyao looked at the young man in front of him with a majestic and confident expression, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

Gu Shijing raised her head and stared at Xue Chang: "Do you really think that your martial arts will be comparable to mine in less than a year?!"

"The junior will definitely live up to the expectations of the senior!" Xue Chang said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Okay, okay..." Gu Shijing laughed angrily: "Young people really have ambitions. I will wait for you on the Goddess Peak in Wushan during the Shangyuan Festival next year!"

Zhou Wanyao said with a serious expression: "Xue Shaoxia, since we have already made an agreement, then according to the agreement, you will not have any further contact within this period of time."

Xue Chang hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."

Zhou Wanyao smiled: "Xue Shaoxia, since we have reached an agreement, we won't keep you here any longer."

"Senior." Xue Chang asked, "Can you allow me to say a few words to Lanmeng so that she can feel at ease."

Since everything went smoothly, Zhou Wanyao's answer was also straightforward: "Alright, it's rare that you are so thoughtful." As she said that, she turned back and untied the acupuncture points on Luo Lanmeng's body.

Luo Lanmeng jumped up, rushed to Xue Changshen, and said anxiously: "Xue Lang, how can you agree to such a harsh request! Master, uncle and the others are bullying others, such a request is difficult for anyone Come! No, Xue Lang, you reject them immediately, if they don't agree, I will leave with you!"

"Presumptuous!" Gu Shijing yelled angrily: "As a disciple of the Goddess Palace, you dare to say such shameless words, and you will definitely be punished by the family rules!"

"As long as my uncle and master cancel these harsh requirements, I am willing to be punished!" Luo Lanmeng said resolutely.

"You—" Gu Shijing was trembling with anger, she turned her head and said to Zhou Wanyao, "Look, this is the good apprentice you taught!"

The most worrying thing still appeared! …Zhou Wanyao sighed lightly, and was about to speak to persuade her.

At this time, Xue Chang held Luo Lanmeng's jaded hand, and said in a deep voice, "Lanmeng, don't worry! The reason why I dare to agree to your master's request, and even dare to advance the deadline, is definitely not because I was in a daze. But I have absolute confidence! You have to believe in your own vision, the husband you choose is just like you! Wait for me after the Lantern Festival next year, and I will let you go down in glory Marrying will never let you suffer any grievances!"

Hearing these confident and heart-warming words, and looking at Xue Chang's determined eyes, Luo Lanmeng's heart was almost melted, she nodded involuntarily and said, "Okay, Xue Lang, I'll wait for you!"

Xue Chang smiled, shook her hand vigorously, and bowed to Gu Shijing and Zhou Wanyao: "Seniors, since the matter has been settled, this junior will leave first." After finishing speaking, he looked at Luo deeply. Lan Meng glanced, turned and left.

Only then did Zhou Wanyao say euphemistically: "Lanmeng, how could you be rude to your uncle just now! You—"

"Hmph!" Luo Lanmeng gave Zhou Wanyao a dissatisfied look, turned around and ran out of the room, and then heard Lu Lingyun shouting joyfully from the next door: "Senior Sister, are you done talking? How are you doing?"

Gu Shijing looked at Zhou Wanyao, and whispered with some dissatisfaction: "Junior Sister, you shouldn't have made any demands on that little thief just now, just refuse it, just drive him away, how easy it is."

"Senior Sister, are you afraid?" Zhou Wanyao said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"You can say this, be careful I will tear your mouth!" Gu Shijing stared, and said proudly: "That little thief's martial arts can only be considered good, but if you want to compare with me, he is far behind! One year? I think that if I give him ten years, he may not have the strength to challenge me. If he really reaches the Goddess Peak, I have to do it myself, which is really cheap for him!"

"I think his progress in martial arts is not slow. Look at his fight with you last time, and yesterday's fight with Mrs. Jingxin... After only a few days, he has made obvious progress. No wonder he is very confident. " Zhou Wanyao reminded seriously.

Gu Shijing said disapprovingly: "It may be that he has made a breakthrough in martial arts after being plotted against. It is possible. But such adventures do not happen often, and the level of martial arts depends on the accumulation of time and continuous practice. Ah, I'm always high-spirited, I think I'm invincible when I make some progress, hum..."

Zhou Wanyao nodded and said: "This young man named Xue Chang is indeed overconfident, that's why he accepted my request. At least in this way, Lanmeng will not mess around. Otherwise, with her stubborn temper, if we If I directly reject this marriage proposal, I'm worried that she will quietly elope with that man..."

"She dares!" Gu Shijing said angrily, "If she dares to do that and embarrass us, I will imprison her in the Goddess Palace and never allow her to go down the mountain!"

Zhou Wanyao's face changed slightly, and then she said quietly: "Senior sister, if you do this, let the other side know..."

When Gu Shijing heard this, her heart was shocked, and then she fell silent.

After a while, she said angrily: "Look at you, how much trouble you have brought to my Goddess Palace!"

Zhou Wanyao immediately said sadly: "Senior sister, you complained to me about this matter, who should I complain to?"

Gu Shijing was speechless, and said instead: "Okay, let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the present, your method can only relieve you for a while, and after the Shangyuan Festival next year, the little thief failed to propose marriage, and your disciple My son is making trouble again, what should I do?"

"Lanmeng is still young, and her experience is too shallow. She has never experienced anything between a man and a woman. Maybe it was just a momentary emotion. After a long time, and the two don't meet each other again, this emotion may fade away. Maybe she will be able to calm down by then. Look at this matter..." Zhou Wanyao explained uncertainly.

Gu Shijing shook her head: "I can't see it enough, that apprentice of yours is one-sided, his personality is completely different from yours, and I don't know who he looks like."

Zhou Wanyao ignored her and continued: "I think that young man named Xue Chang is a very proud person. Once he fails to meet our requirements, we will let him realize the huge gap between him and Lanmeng. Don't even have the face to continue proposing. If he shrinks back, it's useless for Lanmeng to be more active..."

"Well, it's just that we used this method to deal with a young man and destroy the relationship between them. This is really—" The past suddenly came to my mind, and Zhou Wanyao showed a complicated expression on her face.

"Junior sister, don't think too much, there is nothing we can do, isn't there?" Gu Shijing lowered her voice rarely, and comforted her.

Days of heavy rain caused the river to surge, and the river became extremely wide and turbulent. The yellow waves also carried trees and beast corpses washed down from the upper reaches, and all water transportation stopped.

But the news on both sides of the river has not been completely cut off. Every two or three days, the best sailors of the Flying Fish Gang will steer the boat, shuttling through the waves, and there will be battle reports from the south: the pacification army is still attacking Laifu City. The impact of the rainy season weakened the offensive, but the food and grass transported to Leqiang City in advance was enough for the army for a month, so General Li Bosong of Rongzhou was not too anxious and did not force the barracks to take the risk of transporting food to the south bank.
