Xie Zhihan held up the round fan embroidered with peach branches in his hand and shook it slowly, with a faint smile on his lips: "Humph, if her marriage is successful, the Xie family will be married to the Xue family, not to mention taking advantage of the Xue family to take a few steps forward, just by leaking some resources from the other party's fingers, it will be a lot easier for us to practice."
As she spoke, she covered her sister with her ball fan, lowered her voice, and a light flashed in her eyes: "At that time, you and I will still be worried about not being able to find a better Taoist companion? Of course, if you can choose a good tree to live in, why stay trapped in this declining home."
She paused for a moment, remembering Xie Qingyi's desolate look in the pavilion before. Annoyance surged in her chest, and she couldn't help shaking the fan in her hand more quickly, bringing up a slight cool breeze: "In the past few years in Tianji Immortal Mansion, except for the fact that she has a name that makes others fear the Xie family, when have we ever really benefited from it?"
Xie Zhimiao's eyes moved slightly, but her face was still gentle, and she said softly: "Sister, I've thought carefully about it, but the third sister was resolute before, so I'm afraid this matter..."
"How can we allow her, a daughter, to make her own decisions regarding matters of marriage?" Xie Zhihan snorted coldly, interrupting his sister, with a trace of disdain in his eyes, "With the head of the family above, and the clan elders below, which family member would really dare to rebel against the family? Even if she has Tianji Immortal Mansion behind her, how dare she betray the family openly?"
She took her sister's hand and put a little force on her fingers: "If the children of the aristocratic family lose this identity, they will be no different from those casual cultivators without roots. What high-profile family will she hope to marry in the future?"
In her opinion, the core of the marriage between the immortal cultivating families lies in the intricate network of in-laws, which is directly related to the control and distribution of spiritual veins, secret realms, elixirs and other cultivation resources.
Even if Xie Qingyi is a direct descendant of the Sword Immortal, Tianji Immortal Mansion has not helped the Xie family in the slightest over the years, which shows that she is not valued by the master.
"A person who is neither valued by the master nor tolerated by the family." Xie Zhihan's eyes turned, and the hand holding the fan stopped at this moment, "I don't know what he is still arrogant about. When uncle and father ask themselves, she is more attractive!"
The evening breeze blew through the courtyard, and the spiritual mist flowed slowly among the rockery rocks. The halo of the lanterns in the corridor swayed slightly, making the shadows of the two sisters elongated. A few cries could be faintly heard in the distance, which made the whispers in the corners here, and the calculations hidden deep.
As soon as Xie Qingyi passed through the verandah, he was blocked again by the maid who had led the way before.
"Third Miss," the maid saluted respectfully, but her tone was unquestionable, "Mrs. Madam, please be sure to come over again."
"My attitude is very clear," Xie Qingyi said in a cold voice without stopping, "No matter how many times I say it, the answer will be the same, let her give up." She turned sideways to avoid the other party.
"Madam said..." Seeing this, the maid hurriedly raised her voice and spoke faster, for fear that she would disappear in an instant, "If the third lady insists on not going, then there is no need to know about the past events of your parents before they left for the Ancient Mysterious Realm, and the 'Shadow Bead' will naturally not be given to you."
When Xie Qingyi heard this, the remaining smile on his face completely disappeared, his eyes were filled with frost, and his voice was low: "I hate being threatened the most in my life. There are ways to find out what I want to know, without the trouble of the master and his wife."
Before she finished speaking, she relied on her body's instinct and tapped her toes lightly on the pebbled ground. Her spiritual energy flowed naturally, and she jumped up like a flying swallow skimming the water. Her skirt brushed the steps of the corridor, and she disappeared from the maid's astonished sight in an instant.
When she landed safely outside the moon cave door of a secluded courtyard, she caressed her chest belatedly, her heart palpitating, she was so brave just now!
Just after the thought passed, her brain suddenly shut down. Wait, there is something wrong with this exclamation!Why did she unconsciously assume the original person's refined ancient accent?
Do it again!She quickly switched back to her own OS system in her mind and sighed sincerely, Oh my God!I actually really flew~
