Chapter 43: Shock Murong Qingyan didn’t care at all about what other people were thinking. That space spiritual weapon is hers, so it will naturally be given to whomever she wants to give it to. Moreover, if she still wanted to give gifts to those who thought they were snakes, she would rather throw the things away.

When Chen Wenrui looked at Chen Xianzhu, she gritted her teeth with hatred. It was obvious that the two of them came forward to present Murong Qingyan together, but only Chen Xianzhu received the gift, and she got nothing.

Li Xinqing was even more dissatisfied with Murong Qingyan at this time. She believed that based on her introduction just now, Murong Qingyan must know that Chen Xianzhu was born as a concubine. However, now Murong Qingyan is so kind to a child born from a common concubine, but shows no sign to the two children she gave birth to. Doesn't this mean she is looking down on her?

Everyone's attention was focused on Murong Qingyan and Chen Xianzhu, and no one noticed that when Chen Shanghua and the three elders looked at Chen Xianzhu, a trace of thoughtfulness flashed across their faces.

After the people in the second room sat back in their seats, Chen Shanghua continued to introduce the people in the third room to Murong Qingyan, "Qingyan, this is your third uncle Chen Xianzhong and your third aunt Zhao Ya'er."

Chen Xianzhong looked at Murong Qingyan, a smile appeared on his honest face, "Qingyan, hello, I am your third uncle."

Zhao Ya'er also smiled at Murong Qingyan. Although she hadn't spoken yet, the kindness she released was genuine.

Looking at Chen Xianzhong and Zhao Ya'er, a sincere smile appeared on Murong Qingyan's face, "Third uncle, third aunt, hello."

Unlike the two people in front of her, Murong Qingyan felt genuine kindness from the two people in front of her. She could feel that this third uncle and third aunt had no bad intentions towards her. Both of them were honest people.

Soon, Zhao Yaer also began to introduce several of her children to Murong Qingyan, "Qingyan, these are your fourth cousin Chen Xiansong, fifth cousin Chen Xianbai, and your fifth cousin Chen Wenxin. I hope you can have a good time in the future. get along."

Probably to show their goodwill, Chen Xiansong and Chen Xianbai took the initiative to say hello, "Hello, cousin."

"Hello, cousins." Murong Qingyan responded with a smile, "Please give me your advice in the future."

Then, Murong Qingyan waved to Chen Wenxin again. Chen Wenxin is only seven or eight years old this year. She has beautiful hair and looks like a cute loli doll. Moreover, those smart eyes kept turning, looking even more energetic. Such a cute girl makes people fall in love with her.

Seeing Murong Qingyan calling her, Chen Wenxin didn't give in and stepped forward directly, smiling sweetly at Murong Qingyan.

Chen Wenxin's smile simply hit Murong Qingyan's cuteness. She directly picked up Chen Wenxin and kissed her. This is simply too cute, isn’t it?

Later, Murong Qingyan also gave Chen Wenxin a small gourd that was exactly the same as Chen Xianzhu. However, Chen Wenxin did not accept it immediately. Instead, she glanced at Chen Ruizhong and Zhao Yaer and accepted it after getting their consent.

Chen Xiansong and Chen Xianbai on the side did not show any dissatisfaction from beginning to end, and still stood there with smiles.

After getting to know each other, Murong Qingyan knew all the people directly related to the Chen family. The people in the first and second bedrooms didn't like her niece who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. However, the people in Sanfang are quite honest. Those three children were well educated by her third uncle and third aunt.

After Chen Shanghua looked around at the people below, he cleared his throat and said, "Okay, today you have officially said hello. From now on, Qingyan will live in the Chen family, and you must treat her well." ."

"Grandpa, don't worry." Chen Xianbin stood up, smiled and said, "Since cousin Qingyan is my aunt's daughter, she is naturally a member of our Chen family, and we will definitely treat her well."

"Yes." Chen Shanghua nodded with satisfaction, "Qingyan has just returned to the Chen family not long ago. Many things are still unclear. If something happens, you must try to let her go, understand?"

After hearing what Chen Shanghua said, the faces of the people sitting below had different expressions. Try to let Murong Qingyan do their best. Doesn't this make it clear that they are not allowed to compete with Murong Qingyan in the future? Saying such biased words made everyone feel uncomfortable. Previously, they had heard that the head of the family loved Murong Qingyan very much, and now they had a deeper understanding.

For a moment, everyone looked at Murong Qingyan with different expressions.

Facing the gazes from everyone, Murong Qingyan acted as if she didn't see anything. She still drank her tea calmly, as if nothing happened to her.

However, Chen Shanghua actually didn't mean much when he said these words. The reason why he said this was not because he was partial to Murong Qingyan, but because Murong Qingyan's identity was different from before. She now had the ancestor's ring in her hand, which could represent the ancestor. Everyone in the Chen family must be respectful to her.

On the other hand, it was because Murong Qingyan had a high level of cultivation at this time, and there was an unknown Huangfu Jue protecting her. If that person is not discerning and offends Murong Qingyan, then they will be the ones who suffer.

It's a pity that others don't understand Chen Shanghua's good intentions at this time. In the eyes of everyone, he is blatantly favoring Murong Qingyan.

Although he felt uncomfortable, Chen Shanghua had already finished speaking, and everyone could only force a smile and nod in agreement.

Seeing everyone's response, Chen Shanghua nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, you all go down first! Qingyan stays, I have something else to say to you."

Seeing Chen Shanghua leaving Murong Qingyan alone, the others felt even more uncomfortable. Everyone wanted to know what the head of the family meant by leaving Murong Qingyan alone. However, the head of the family had already spoken, so they had no choice but to leave first.

After everyone else left the front hall, only Chen Shanghua, the three elders, Murong Qingyan and Huangfu Jue were left in the front hall. Chen Shanghua didn't care that Huangfu Jue still stayed here. After this period of getting along, he had learned a lot about the relationship between Murong Qingyan and Huangfu Jue. The two were almost inseparable together.

"Qingyan, what do you think?" Chen Shanghua looked at Murong Qingyan and asked tentatively, "Today you have seen your three uncles, three people living in three houses, what do you think?"

"Grandpa, shouldn't you know better about these three uncles?" Murong Qingyan said with a smile, "If that's the case, why bother asking me again?"

"You girl." Looking at Murong Qingyan, Chen Shanghua said angrily, "What do I mean? Don't you understand? Which one of your three uncles do you think is capable of taking on important responsibilities? of?"

Murong Qingyan raised her eyebrows, "Grandpa, are you sure you really want to hear the truth from me?"

"Is it possible that you still want to lie to me?" Chen Shanghua rolled his eyes at Murong Qingyan, "Although this is our first meeting, I think you, a girl, should still have the ability to judge people."

"Since my grandfather has asked me this, I can't hide it anymore." Murong Qingyan said with a faint smile, "None of these three uncles can take on important responsibilities."

She was telling the truth. Uncle Li Ruixing was narrow-minded and not at all incapable of taking on big responsibilities. The second uncle Li Ruihua is a person with superficial emotions and anger. Such a person has a very straightforward temperament, but he is easily taken advantage of. However, such a person would not play any tricks. As for the third uncle Li Ruizhong, he is a simple and honest man. But the third uncle's talent is not high, and although he has a good temper, he lacks ruthlessness. Such a person is a good old man, but he will never be able to shoulder a big responsibility.

After hearing Murong Qingyan's words, Chen Shanghua couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Oh, you're right, none of these three guys can bear the burden of the Chen family."

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that none of his three sons could take on major responsibilities, why would he keep holding on to power? He wanted to let go, but he could never find a suitable heir. It would be great if the Chen family was like the Xuanyuan family and had someone like Xuanyuan Lang.

Now the Chen family has a daughter named Murong Qingyan, but it is a pity that this granddaughter is not named Chen, and she does not have much ambition for the Chen family.

"Qingyan, do you plan to focus on the next generation?" The elder looked at Murong Qingyan and said, "Are you optimistic about Chen Xianzhu?"

Now not only the eldest elder, but also Chen Shanghua and the other two elders had their eyes on Murong Qingyan. They all came back, and Murong Qingyan had to choose the future heir of the Chen family.

"First Elder, you think too much." After hearing what the First Elder said, Murong Qingyan burst out laughing, "I just thought he was cuter, so I gave him a small gift. Look at Chen Wenxin, I didn't give him one either. Yet?"

She really just liked that innocent child, so she gave him a small gift. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of my grandfather and the others, this was the child that he had taken a liking to, Chen Xianzhu. It’s really a big mistake!

"I see!" Chen Shanghua nodded, expressing understanding, and then said, "Qingyan, actually there is no need for you to feel any pressure, we are just asking. The matter of the heir is not urgent, you can take a look at it slowly .”

Murong Qingyan smiled and nodded, she was not in a hurry. Although she promised Chen Tiankun to choose a suitable heir for the Chen family, she was not in a hurry. As the head of a family, in addition to being talented in cultivation, character is also very important. Now she just met him once and didn't know much about him at all.

Moreover, there was one thing she did not say, that is, when she chooses her successor, she does not necessarily have to choose among these direct bloodlines. She could see that her grandfather still wanted her to choose an heir from among today's people, but she was not limited to this bloodline.

Of course, she did not say these words. After all, she still needed to consider her grandfather's feelings. Besides, she doesn't like anyone yet.

Seeing that Murong Qingyan didn't seem to be in a hurry, Chen Shanghua didn't say anything more. He said, "By the way, Qingyan, since you have returned to the Chen family now, during this period, I will give you Do you think it’s okay to announce your identity and let other people from the aristocratic families know your identity?”

"Grandpa alone makes the decision." Murong Qingyan didn't care much about these things.

"Then it's decided." After Chen Shanghua nodded, he continued, "In a while, the exchange meeting of the major aristocratic families will also arrive. Qingyan, do you want to attend then?"

"Exchange meeting?" This was the first time Murong Qingyan heard it, and a hint of interest appeared on her face, "Grandpa, what kind of exchange meeting is it?"

"Every ten years, our major families will hold an exchange meeting." Chen Shanghua explained. "It is said that the major families communicate with each other, but in fact, it is an open and secret fight between the major families. At that time, it will be divided into There are many events including cultivation competition, alchemy competition, weapon refining competition, etc.”

"That's it." Murong Qingyan nodded clearly.

This kind of competition should be similar to the ones she had participated in before. It's just that the fight between the major families should be more intense.

"Speaking of which, for more than a hundred years, our Chen family has been suppressed by the Song family in the alchemy competition." When talking about this matter, the elder's face became unsightly, "We and the Song family are both members of the same family. The four major families are all alchemy families. But now our Chen family has been suppressed by the Song family."

It is because the two families are both alchemy families, so it is easier for people to compare them together. Over the years, the Song family has become more and more arrogant.

"The Song family?" After hearing the elder's words, Murong Qingyan's eyes flashed with a faint light, "It's really been a long time since I heard about the Song family."

She has not forgotten that she and the Song family still have a grudge. Back then, Bai Ruo was sent by Song Liyi from the Song family to deal with her. She has not settled the matter with the Song family yet, but this does not mean that she will forget it. As for the Song family, she would have to pay it all back one day.

"What's wrong?" As if he noticed something was wrong with Murong Qingyan, Chen Shanghua said with concern, "Qingyan, do you know anyone from the Song family?"

"No." Murong Qingyan shook her head gently, "I just heard about the Song family in the past."

Huangfu Jue on the side looked at Murong Qingyan thoughtfully while Murong Qingyan was speaking.

He also remembered the Song family. Perhaps it should be said that as long as it was related to Murong Qingyan, she would never forget it, especially if someone from the Song family tried to hurt Murong Qingyan, he would never forget it.

Chen Shanghua said without hesitation, "For so many years, there has been an open and covert struggle between us and the Song family. Especially when it comes to alchemy."

Over the years, the Chen family has been suppressed by the Song family. If it weren't for the Chen family's profound heritage and divine fire, the Chen family might not be able to continue to sit in one of the four major families.

"By the way, Qingyan, aren't you Yuan Li's apprentice? Then you should be an alchemist too!" Chen Shanghua suddenly asked, "What level is your current alchemy level?"

He had heard before that Yuan Li's apprentice was a fifth-grade alchemist. That must have been more than fifty years ago. Even if Qingyan is no longer good now, she should still be a fifth-grade alchemist! In fact, to be honest, Qingyan is already a fifth-grade alchemist at such a young age, which is already very powerful.

In the Chen family, the person with the most talent in alchemy is the second eldest brother, Chen Xianyi. He is several decades older than Murong Qingyan, but he is only a fifth-grade alchemist now.

However, it is understandable that Murong Qingyan is so talented in cultivation, even if she is slightly lacking in alchemy.

"Me?" Murong Qingyan shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I am now an eighth-level alchemist."

After coming out of seclusion, she was already a seventh-level alchemist. During this period of time, when she was practicing, she did not forget to continue practicing alchemy. Some time ago, not long after she advanced to the integration stage, she also made a breakthrough in alchemy. She is now able to refine eighth-grade elixirs.

"What? An eighth-level alchemist?" Chen Shanghua couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Murong Qingyan and confirmed again, "Qingyan, you said you are now an eighth-level alchemist? Really? I You must have heard it right!”

Not only Chen Shanghua, but also the other three elders began to doubt their ears. Murong Qingyan is not yet a hundred years old, but she is already an eighth-level alchemist. Even Yuan Li, who was considered a genius back then, couldn't do this. Moreover, Murong Qingyan is now in the integration stage in terms of cultivation. After spending so much energy on cultivation, the time spent on alchemy will be relatively less.

However, Murong Qingyan said that she was now an eighth-level alchemist. Is this really possible?

"I am an eighth-level alchemist. Is this strange?" Murong Qingyan frowned, "I was promoted to an eighth-level alchemist just a few days ago."

She didn't feel that she had made much progress. Even though she was usually busy practicing, she never slacked off in refining alchemy. Moreover, for her, alchemy is not a means, but a kind of enjoyment. She enjoyed the process of making alchemy very much.

This time, Chen Shanghua and the three elders finally confirmed that what they heard was indeed the truth. Murong Qingyan was already an eighth-level alchemist at a young age.

"Hahaha, it's really great." Chen Shanghua couldn't help laughing, "Qingyan, you are really amazing. I didn't expect that you are now an eighth-level alchemist. If you are defeated by the Song family, If people know it, they will definitely be so angry that they will vomit blood.”

Chen Shanghua never thought that his granddaughter was not only so talented in cultivation, but also in alchemy. There is probably no other eighth-grade alchemist of this age in this continent. To be able to reach the level of an eighth-level alchemist, one must be at least several hundred years old. However, Murong Qingyan is not even a hundred years old yet. If things continue like this, even he won't be able to predict what Murong Qingyan's future will be like.

He is only a ninth-grade alchemist now, and his alchemy grade is already the highest among the Chen family. The first elder is only an eighth-grade alchemist, while the second elder and third elder are only seventh-grade alchemists.

Not only Chen Shanghua, but also the other three elders could not help but feel excitement on their faces. Unexpectedly, after so many years, such a genius would appear in the Chen family.

Now everyone knows a little more about the ancestor's choice.

Murong Qingyan is less than a hundred years old now, but she is already in the integration stage, and she is also an eighth-level alchemist. As long as she is here, the Chen family cannot decline.

No wonder the ancestor asked Murong Qingyan to protect the Chen family. Given time, Murong Qingyan will be able to become the Chen family's blessing. They deeply believe in this.

Seeing the obvious joy of Chen Shanghua and the three elders, Murong Qingyan didn't say anything and certainly didn't feel proud of it.

She knows that her current achievements look great to outsiders. But only she herself knows that the distance between her and Huangfu Jue is still very large. She still has a long way to go before she wants to be worthy of Huangfu Jue. She has to work harder.

Huangfu Jue, who was sitting next to him, seemed to be aware of Murong Qingyan's mood at this time. He didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and quietly held Murong Qingyan's hand.

No one knows better than him how much hard work Murong Qingyan has put in to get to where she is today. Moreover, he also knew very well in his heart that the reason why Murong Qingyan worked so hard was to be able to come to his side as soon as possible.

In fact, he really wanted to confine Murong Qingyan to him directly, so that the two of them wouldn't have to be separated often.

However, he knew Murong Qingyan, so he couldn't do that. If he did that, he would lose the person he loved. Therefore, all he can do is stay by her side, protect her, and let her continue to grow. Even if it hurts to see her hurt, I can only endure it.
