Killing God

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Six

Liu was taken aback, and hurriedly went to open the door. Sure enough, he saw Zhong Liancheng standing outside the door, with a man next to him carrying a large bag of small bags and a pile of things, wrapped in red paper, and he looked very happy.

Zhong Liancheng's face still looked slightly overdone. When he saw Liu's, he smiled and nodded, but Liu's looked a little nervous, bowed his head and said, "Master, why are you here? ?"

When the Liu family first came to the Zhong family with their young Zhong Qingzhu in the past, the situation of the mother and daughter was miserable. However, after the Zhong family took them in, they did not actually give them a good life, but just a room. The shantytown eats a bite of food, and the Liu family has to help in the kitchen. On weekdays, no one can afford to look at them. As for Zhong Liancheng, the lord of the family, he wouldn’t even glance at them from the corner of his eyes. But for that, Liu’s heart is still very grateful to the Zhong family. Had it not been for the Zhong family to take in their mother and daughter, perhaps they would not be able to live to this day if they had nowhere to go.

Of course, today is different. As Zhong Qingzhu was accidentally selected into the Lingxiao Sect by real people, and gradually revealed his talent for cultivating, especially after breaking through to the Ningyuan realm and becoming a direct disciple, he was quickly caught up in Le Jingshan. The elders were accepted as disciples, and he had a great future, and he was also a leader among the young disciples of the Lingxiao Sect. With such an excellent talent and opportunity, she has long been regarded by the circle of Floating Cloud City as one of the Zhong family's greatest hopes for the future, keeping pace with Zhong Qinglu. It can even be said that before Zhong Qinglu was formally accepted by the elder Yunni, Zhong Qingzhu was the only seed of hope for the Zhong family.

Thanks to her daughter’s enthusiasm, Liu’s current status in the Zhong family has naturally changed drastically. The cook’s job has long been forbidden, and she moved from the shabby hut to this small courtyard on the second floor. It can be seen that the Zhong family values ​​Zhong Qingzhu, but the Liu family is just an ordinary mortal. In her heart, she still respects Zhong Liancheng very much, and even the greeting when she meets is still called the "big master" when she was present. And not changed.

Zhong Liancheng waved his hand, and the people behind him walked over and placed the big and small red bags and red baskets next to Liu's. Then after a salute to Zhong Liancheng, he walked out. Zhong Liancheng smiled and said: "Brother and sister, it seems that the New Year is almost here. I brought some New Year's gifts over. You will save it first. If there is not enough, I will send it back later."

There was a little gratitude on Liu's face, but there was a pile of voices in his mouth: "Enough is enough, Master is so kind to us."

Zhong Liancheng chuckled, glanced at the small building in the garden, and then said to the Liu family: "By the way, I heard that Qing Zhu came back a few days ago. Didn't he stay at home and haven't returned to the mountains?" His face She showed a bit of concern and said, "I remember that she was not like this before. Could it be that there was an accident in her cultivation that hurt her body?"

The Liu family was startled for a moment, and said, "It shouldn't be there. I don't know much about practice, but the appearance of Qingzhu doesn't seem to be hurt. It's just that I like to sit alone in the past few days. Not much, I was a little worried when I watched it aside."

Zhong Liancheng said "Oh", his face became a little serious, and said, "So, but I don't know what Qing Zhu is thinking about? Brother and sister, you are also aware of it. Qing Zhu is a promising person now, she adds Qing Lu two, but they shoulder the hope of our Zhong family's future, so if there is anything you want me to be the patron, just talk."

The Liu family nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you, master, thank you, master."

Zhong Liancheng laughed, with a sense of boldness. It was time to leave now, but for some reason, Zhong Liancheng had no intention of going. Instead, he glanced at the small building again, and suddenly said to Liu family: "Brother and sister , I happened to think of something, so I will tell you."

Liu said, "Master, please speak."

Zhong Liancheng smiled slightly and said, "Qing Zhu is nineteen this year, and she has grown into a big girl unknowingly. The so-called major events in life, marriage and marriage, have you ever thought about finding a husband for Qing Zhu?"

The Liu family was startled, as if hesitated for a moment, and then seemed to be a little unsure of himself: "Master, I heard that monks like Miss Qinglu and Qingzhu generally seldom talk about marriage, even if they do. It seems to be a bit later than ordinary people."

Zhong Liancheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's just what people say, no matter how much she practices, isn't it your daughter? Or maybe you can bear to see Qingzhu focusing on cultivation and delaying her youth?"

Liu's face changed slightly, and he seemed to be a little awakened and tempted, and nodded and said: "The master said there is some truth."

Zhong Liancheng smiled and said, "Isn't that the case, let me do it, if my younger siblings agree, I will bother to help you walk around, and choose a young handsome man in Floating Cloud City so many generations to ensure that regardless of his family status, he is still good The realm will not humiliate the green bamboo. At the same time, it will also allow our two families to be in-laws and friendships with each other and support each other. This day will definitely be prosperous in the future, are you optimistic?"

Liu was shocked. She was an ordinary woman since she was a child. She has always been in awe of Zhong Liancheng, so she has a bit of joy on her face at this moment. When she is about to speak, Suddenly only a call came from behind, but it was Zhong Qingzhu's voice, saying:

"Mother, what are you doing here?"

Liu's and Zhong Liancheng turned around at the same time and saw that Zhong Qingzhu had left the small building at the same time and walked along the small garden flower path. She was not seen for a few days. She was still as beautiful as before, but her eyes were as picturesque as before. There was a little more sorrow and haggard, and it seemed to be a little less clear.

When approaching, Zhong Qingzhu's eyes stayed on his mother's face for a moment, then looked at Zhong Liancheng, bowed his head slightly, and said calmly, "Hello, uncle."

Zhong Liancheng frowned slightly, and he felt a little unhappy. Although he looked very polite to Liu's before, there was still a condescending meaning in his bones. And Liu, a woman, was always very careful in front of him. Awe, on the contrary, made Zhong Liancheng have a good feeling of being a courteous corporal. It was just that Zhong Qingzhu came over to see that although her manners and manners were not missing, everything was just a faint appearance, which made Zhong Liancheng feel a little unhappy about being a benefactor.

But still the same sentence. Today is different. Zhong Qingzhu is no longer the only weak girl of the past. Now she is a rising star in the Lingxiao sect, and a direct disciple of Elder Le Jingshan, a real person in the Yuandan realm , Even compared with Zhong Qinglu, he did not lose the slightest. In addition, what is more important is that the Zhong family has indeed been defeated for too long, even if Zhong Liancheng himself does not have much confidence.

So the unpleasant color on his face flashed, and soon he changed to a kindly smiling expression, but under that blue-eyed and pale face, it still made people look a little uncomfortable, and smiled:" Qing Zhu, I'm talking about things with your mother."

Zhong Qingzhu's face was calm, but the faint light in the depths of her bright eyes flickered, but she saw the expression of Zhong Liancheng just moments ago. She sneered slightly in her heart, but her expression did not change much. Instead, she turned her head to look at Liu, softly Said: "Mother, what's the matter?"

Liu hesitated for a while, and then told Zhong Qingzhu what Zhong Liancheng had just said. At the end, it seemed that he was a little worried, and he said: "The great master also wants to help us. Actually, I just heard it. After those words, thinking about it is not unreasonable..."

"mother!"

Zhong Qingzhu suddenly called and interrupted Liu's speech. It sounded for some reason, but his voice suddenly felt much colder than before.

Liu stopped in amazement and looked at his daughter. The only hint of smile on Zhong Qingzhu’s face disappeared. His expression was indifferent and cold. He stood there and looked at Zhong Liancheng, but said: "Thank you, uncle for caring, just Qing Zhu Consciously the Taoism is low, and the spirit of seeking the Tao dare not slack off, so I don't think about marriage mundane matters for the time being."

The corner of Zhong Liancheng's eyes twitched, and he smiled forcefully: "Haha, you little girl, is this shy? It doesn't really matter. Within that sect, many people in the cultivators also form Taoists, and If you have a good family background and use the other’s family resources, it will definitely benefit you in your practice. Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?"

He said haha ​​and laughed with a relieved expression. Zhong Qingzhu's expression went cold for another three minutes. He glanced at him calmly, and suddenly said: "Sister Qinglu is a little older than me, uncle It's better to consider her first."

Zhong Liancheng's expression changed, and he said flatly, "Nonsense, how can Qinglu go..."

Before he finished his words, he seemed to consciously lose words, and the words came to an abrupt end. At the same time, he had already seen Zhong Qingzhu's face flashed by with a slightly cool and slightly mocking expression.

Zhong Liancheng was furious, flicked his sleeves abruptly, turned and left, and said angrily: "Yellow mouth boy, I don't know good people, there will be days you regret!"

Zhong Qingzhu's face was faint, and he watched Zhong Liancheng strode away coldly, but Liu's was shocked. He chased forward for a while and apologized and said a lot of apologizes, but Zhong Liancheng was not at all. The response went straight away. Liu's chased far away, and then turned back, complaining to Zhong Qingzhu:

"Qing Zhu, how can you be so rude to the master?"

Zhong Qingzhu gave a slight sneer with a bit of disdain, then his face turned gentle, stepped forward and took Liu's arm, leading her to the residence, and said: "Mother, you don't need to be so afraid of him. Am I here?"

Liu's shook his head and said, "I am not afraid of the master, but grateful to the Zhong family. If he hadn't taken care of him back then, how could we mother and daughter be today?"

Zhong Qingzhu smiled faintly, did not pick her up, turned off the subject and asked: "Has the uncle mentioned this to you before? I never seem to know."

Liu said: "No, it was the first time I heard the master say today, but I think it really makes sense, Qingzhu, we are all from ordinary people, so you have a good chance of luck. Daoxing, but we shouldn’t have too high a vision. It’s best to be content with Changle."

Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, and whispered: "Is your vision too high..."

Liu said: "Or, think about it again..."

Zhong Qingzhu shook her head and said, "No need, mother, I don't need to mention this later, I will be the master of life-long events, don't worry about it." As she said, her heart suddenly moved again, her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, deep in her heart Secretly recalled Zhong Liancheng's words just now, and said in his heart, "Is this a family he wants to connect with, so he wants to use me as a chess chip?"

Liu's choked, he couldn't say what he had said before, so he had to whisper in his mouth: "Okay, okay, it's up to you, but we really can't compare with the other boys and girls, we still have to keep ourselves safe. a little."

Zhong Qingzhu slowly raised his head and glanced at the sky above the small garden. After a while, in his heart, there seemed to be a faint voice echoing:

"Can't it be compared...I am worse than someone..."
