Chapter 246: Old man Qi is so dishonest and such a rip-off!
There was indeed no flaw, because Zhao Mu did not lose on purpose at all, but during the battle, he consumed too much spiritual power, which allowed Yan Yuechen to find a flaw and defeat him in one fell swoop.
Yan Hongfei, Yan Xingyu and Yan Hongcheng all cheered for their cousin.
"Brother Zhao, there's no need to feel bad. My cousin has been with our ancestor since she was little, and she was practically taught by hand. In terms of talent, she's even ranked among the top three in our Yan family. Over the years, I've never seen my cousin lose to anyone."
Yan Xingyu held Zhao Mu's hand with his burly arm and said something comforting with a smile.
"Indeed, Xingyu is right."
Yan Hongcheng nodded in agreement.
"Sister, I'm going to the Dead Abyss in three days. Can you give me this top-grade spirit stone as a means of saving my life?"
“…”
When Yan Hongcheng and Yan Xingyu heard Yan Hongfei's words, their eyes widened in shock. They immediately ruthlessly complained, "Hongfei, do you still have any shame? Are you pretending to be pitiful and trying to cheat your cousin out of her top-grade spirit stones?"
Yan Xingyu was still scolding Yan Hongfei for being shameless one second, and the next second he turned around and asked Zhao Mu with a smile on his face, "Brother Zhao, I'm going to the Desolate Sea for training next month. There's danger at every step. You have two top-grade spirit stones. Can you lend me one to save my life?"
"Brother Zhao, I'm not as shameless as them. I can trade with you. Although my eldest sister is a little less beautiful than my cousin, she is definitely a top-notch beauty. I don't know how many powerful young men are coveting my eldest sister. I think you are just the right person to be my eldest brother-in-law."
“…”
Hearing this, Zhao Mu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He had thought that the three evildoers of the Yan family were serious people, but it turned out that each one was more funny than the other. One pretended to be pitiful to cheat Yan Yuechen of the top-grade spirit stone, one pretended to be pitiful to cheat him, and the other one was even more arrogant and actually pushed his own sister out.
Of course, he could sense that these three funny guys were just joking and just wanted to bring the two sides closer through their words.
After all, top-grade spirit stones are precious, and these three guys know very well that it is impossible to get them.
But Yan Hongcheng seemed to be sincere in his intentions. He might really want to marry his elder sister off.
However, the atmosphere in the Yan family was quite comfortable, completely different from the aristocratic families he knew.
"You're not as skilled as others, but you're still whining here. Why don't you just go back and practice!"
“…”
Yan Kangning's tone surprised Zhao Mu a little. Not only was he humble, but he also spoke so directly. However, judging from the expressions of Yan Hongfei and the other two, they were probably used to their ancestor's attitude.
"Let's go, Brother Zhao. I'll find you to drink some drunken immortal wine tonight. Don't forget!"
"Brother Zhao, if you don't like my eldest sister, my cousin will do. She doesn't even have a Taoist partner yet!"
“…”
Zhao Mu was speechless. These guys were really outspoken. Yan Yuechen was still here. Aren’t they afraid of getting beaten for saying such things?
and many more.....
He suddenly had a guess that these three guys might have deliberately stirred up trouble and said such things just to assist him!
At this moment, Zhao Mu felt inexplicably nervous.
"Brother Zhao, please forgive me for making you laugh. These three guys are still young and a little outspoken. If they have offended you, please forgive me. They meant no harm."
Yan Yuechen's voice brought Zhao Mu back to his senses.
"It's okay. I quite like these three little guys. The atmosphere in your Yan family is very different from the atmosphere of the aristocratic families I know. I thought..."
"What did you think? You thought our Yan family had too many rules and the atmosphere was oppressive?"
"At least, from what I understand, many major forces are like this."
"Brother Zhao, do you like the atmosphere of the Yan family?"
“I like it, very comfortable!”
“…”
If others treat me with sincerity, I will treat others with sincerity. This is Zhao Mu's basic principle in life. Putting aside whether they are a good match or not, he really likes the atmosphere of the Yan family. It makes people feel free, relaxed and comfortable. This atmosphere is somewhat similar to that of their home.
Putting aside the initial awkwardness, the conversation with Yan Yuechen was actually very comfortable.
"Not bad, it's really good. No wonder Old Man Qi gave it such a high evaluation."
Yan Kangning put down the teacup with a faint smile on his face. It was obvious that Zhao Mu's performance just now had been recognized by him.
"By the way, Senior, this is for you, Senior Qi."
Zhao Mu took out a jade slip with a voice recorder from the Qiankun Ring and presented it with both hands. The series of events that had just happened made him almost forget about this thing.
"Did Old Man Qi specifically ask you to bring it?"
"Correct!"
"This old guy is definitely up to no good. I want to see what tricks he has up his sleeve this time!"
“…”
Zhao Mu was stunned for a moment. No wonder he could play with Qi Daorong. It turned out they were birds of a feather. Yan Kangning looked like an old immortal, but in essence he was a naughty boy who spoke without restraint.
Yan Yuechen didn't feel anything about this, she just gave him an apologetic look. It was obvious that she had long been accustomed to Yan Kangning's state.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why the atmosphere in the Yan family was like this.
Isn't it true that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked?
hum~
Yan Kangning waved his hand lightly, and the sound recording jade slip was activated. The next moment, the old man Qi's "silly" voice sounded at the scene.
"Old Man Yan, you've seen him, right? Let me guess, by now you've probably found a few juniors with decent talent and strength to test Zhao Mu. What do you think? Not bad, isn't it? I didn't lie to you, old man!"
As soon as he heard the first sentence, Zhao Mu instantly felt something was wrong.
It turns out that Yan Kangning was right. Old man Qi had nothing good to say.
The first sentence was full of boasting, and he couldn't imagine what kind of excessive words would follow.
Zhao Mu originally thought that Old Man Qi had something important to tell Yan Kangning, but...
This old man is such a rip-off!
Did he ever think about how embarrassed I would be and what would happen to me if Yan Kangning activated the sound recording jade slip in front of me?
I had originally thought of not keeping this old man hanging and would just become his disciple when he came out of seclusion, but now... Zhao Mu has changed his mind.
"I remember you have a great-granddaughter whom you love very much. Her name is Yuechen. She is only seventeen years old, but her cultivation has already reached the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Origin Realm. Her talent is no less than those noble ladies of top-tier forces, right?"
Hearing this, Zhao Mu subconsciously glanced at Yan Yuechen.
Got it!
Now it was certain that Old Man Qi had arranged a match for him just as he had expected, and the match was Yan Yuechen.
Just as Zhao Mu subconsciously looked at Yan Yuechen, the latter also happened to look at him, obviously realizing something as well.
Only Yan Kangning stood still, not even looking at his great-granddaughter and Zhao Mu. His sharp eyes even showed a hint of anger.
Zhao Mu was a little confused. Why was Yan Kangning angry?
Could it be that he didn't want his precious granddaughter to get married? Or perhaps he didn't want his granddaughter to be with him?
Well, that’s perfect, it saves me from having to refuse!
Zhao Mu felt happy.
But the next moment, he was no longer happy, because Old Man Qi was such a jerk and such a jerk.
