Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

After finding a place under the shade of a tree, Zhou Yiqiao sat cross-legged in front of Wu Ning, his eyes closed and his breathing long and even.

Threads of five-color mist came from all directions, lingering around the Zhouyi Bridge. In a moment, it became like reality.

Zhou Yiqiao took a brief taste, and after confirming the concentration of spiritual power here, he quickly opened his eyes.

"The spiritual power here is so rich, it's like being in the spiritual eyes of the fourth-level spiritual veins. Compared with the caves where Zhou stayed in the past, this place is simply a paradise in the cave."

Zhou Yiqiao murmured to himself, and when Wu Ning saw him open his eyes, he came closer and smiled.

"Brother Zhou, just like it. This place is where the young direct descendants of my Wu family practice. It is on a fifth-level spiritual vein, so the spiritual power is so abundant."

"The cultivation environment here is much better than your original cave, Brother Zhou."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded after hearing this.

"Brother Wu, thank you for your trouble."

Wu Ning smiled slightly, waved his hand to his servants to bring them wine and food, drank tea and chatted with Zhou Yiqiao, and waited for the summons of his adoptive father.

Soon after, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the courtyard, and Wu Ning frowned slightly.

"what happened?"

"Master Qi, the eldest lady and one of her sisters are back."

"Huh? Didn't the eldest sister go to Zhongzhou to visit her best friend? Why are you here now?"

Wu Ning frowned and said thoughtfully.

"I don't know."

"Well, since I am the eldest sister, I should naturally go to greet you. Brother Zhou will wait here for a while. After I greet the eldest sister, I will come back and continue drinking with you."

After Wu Ning said that, he stood up.

Since Wu Ning didn't invite him to go with him, Zhou Yiqiao didn't ask for trouble and nodded understandingly.

"Please."

"That would be rude to me."

Wu Ning cupped his fists and saluted, turned around and left. After a while, he returned to the center of the courtyard. His face was not as good as before, and he smiled apologetically at Zhou Yiqiao.

"Brother Zhou, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

Zhou Yiqiao couldn't help but ask when he saw that the other party was obviously not interested after he came back.

"Brother Wu, what's going on?"

"Hey......"

Sighing, Wu Ning explained the matter.

It turned out that Wu Ning's adoptive father had a very good relationship with an elder of the Central Continent Holy Sect. When Wu Ning was a child, they made a marriage contract for him and the granddaughter of the Holy Sect elder.

It was originally a happy ending for both parties to get married immediately after they advanced to Yuanying, but they never expected that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway through.

The elder's granddaughter was traveling out of the sect, but she had an entanglement with a direct son of a great clan in Central Continent. The two had a secret affair and had long been in love with each other.

After the woman returned to the clan, she shouted that she would not marry anyone other than that young master, and threatened her with death, forcing the elder to break the engagement with Wu Ning's adoptive father.

It's a pity that the elder refused to give up and vowed to keep the marriage contract, so he imprisoned his granddaughter in the prison of Qinjian Villa. It has been fifty years now.

After listening to Wu Ning's story, Zhou Yiqiao only hated himself for being too talkative.

After all, such things that are constantly being sorted out and messed up are other people's private matters. It is most taboo for others to interfere, but he just mentioned it. This made Wu Ning fall into a sad atmosphere.

But now that Wu Ning clearly regarded him as the target of his confession, Zhou Yiqiao couldn't let it go, so he had to bite the bullet and ask.

"Excuse Zhou for being presumptuous, but I don't know what brother Wu's feelings are for that girl?"

Wu Ning shook his head and sighed when he saw the spiritual wine in the cup was drained.

"To be honest, Brother Zhou, my adoptive father and I visited Yu Yanran once when she was a child, and it was love at first sight."

Wu Ning seems to be very convinced about this marriage, and he talks about it eloquently.

"Yanran is extremely talented. She has never failed to cultivate even in the Heavenly Prison. Now she is only a hundred years old and has already reached the half-step stage of Nascent Soul. I believe it won't be long before she can give birth to a Nascent Soul."

"According to the rules of Qinjian Villa, she will be released from the Tianlao to establish her own cave at that time, and even the elders of the sect have no right to interfere."

"The reason why my eldest sister left and came back is because she heard at Qinjian Villa that this woman was about to break through, so she hurried back to inform the family."

"I'm afraid that by then, Yanran will be looking for the direct son of that great clan."

While he was talking, Wu Ning picked up the jug and filled Zhou Yiqiao's wine with a sad look on his face.

"Well, Yanran has always regarded me as her younger brother since she was little. She has never looked down upon me."

Zhou Yiqiao also lamented and comforted softly.

"Brother Wu, you are so young and the direct son of the Wu family, so you might as well choose another good match."

"My Wu family has given so much benefit to Yu Yanran's family for this marriage, how can we swallow this bad breath!?"

Wu Ning slammed the table with a loud bang.

"Even if we reconcile, it will be my Wu family who will raise the matter after the other party returns all the resources of my Wu family. How can I get his grandfather who is no more than an elder of the outer sect?"

At this moment, Wu Ning's eyes were scarlet red, and a cruel light flashed away.

"If I fail to marry her, Yu Yanran and the Zhang family will have to pay the price!"

"My foster father is as kind as a mountain to me. I, Wu Ning, can do anything in my life, but I can't embarrass my family!"

"Oh? Brother Wu is planning to take revenge on them?"

Zhou Yiqiao's thoughts were racing, and he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask.

"Haha, dog men and women should be treated like dog men and women."

Wu Ning smiled sinisterly, his eyes as deep as abyss.

"If that's the case, I can help Brother Wu."

Zhou Yiqiao suddenly spoke. Wu Ning's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.

"Brother Zhou, what's your plan?"

"Schemes don't count. I have some old friendships with some people at Qinjian Villa, but I can help Brother Wu keep track of the progress of Yu Yanran's cultivation in Guangzhu."

"I guess if you know yourself and your enemy, it will be easier for Brother Wu to roll out your plan."

Zhou Yiqiao said lightly. Wu Ning was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately pulled Zhou Yiqiao towards the depths of the courtyard.

The two of them retreated from the servants and went straight into the study. Only then, in front of Wu Ning, did Zhou Yiqiao use the sound transmission jade pendant to contact Qing Jimeng, whom he had not communicated with for many years.

Zhou Yiqiao originally thought that he would have to wait for a long time before the other party would respond, but he didn't expect that in just a moment, the jade pendant would light up again.

"I didn't expect it was you. I haven't seen you for many years. What's the matter with you?"

A familiar cold voice flowed out from the jade pendant. Zhou Yiqiao heard the words and spoke quickly.

"How are you doing, Fairy? Back then, you said that Senior Xu would entrust you to take care of me, but now I wonder if you can fulfill it?"

"Just tell me."

"It's like this. I would like to trouble the fairy to inform me when a woman named Yu Yanran from your sect is about to give birth to a baby."

After Zhou Yiqiao finished speaking, the jade pendant remained silent for a long time before lighting up again.

"Yu Yanran is the granddaughter of an outer elder of our sect. It's not a big deal, so I agreed."

"But are you sure you want to exchange Senior Brother Xu's care for such an ordinary condition?"
