Chapter 1414 Big Brother Hanyang
When the crowd saw Patriarch Chu’s response, everyone in the Chu Family thought that he would agree.
After all, they knew that he preferred boys over girls.
They thought that it didn’t seem to be much of a big deal to give Chu Qingyi away as a bonus.
But Patriarch Chu obviously would not easily agree to this matter.
He smiled and said, “A few days ago, when my adopted daughter, Chu Qingyi, came back, I was very happy. I even specially invited several elders of the family to welcome her back. Chu Qingyi has worked hard. She has been outside for more than a decade, and her cultivation has reached the Void-refining Realm Early-Stage. I even reported this matter to the Grand Master. He is very gratified and has a very good impression of Chu Qingyi. If I agree rashly to let her marry into your family, it will be hard for me to make things right for our Grand Master.”
“Is that so?” The expression of the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak changed slightly. He waved his hand and said, “Since Brother Chu also knows, I’ll talk to him in person when he comes back.”
As soon as he said that, Young Master Dong became excited.
He never would’ve imagined that the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak would actually speak up on his behalf.
The person with the highest status present was the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak. The Chu Family had used their Grand Master as an excuse, who was a bit more powerful than the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak.
However, he still insisted on talking Grand Master Chu into it.
Young Master Dong couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
“Grand Master went to visit an old friend a few days ago. He may come back tonight,” Patriarch Chu said with a bright smile.
“Patriarch Chu, do you have any objections to this marriage? We can talk about it,” the Sect Leader of the Red Snow Mountain said with a smile.
In his opinion, Patriarch Chu undoubtedly thought that the leverage was not enough, so he might as well add some more. Anyway, Red Snow Mountain was rich.
After thinking for a while, the Sect Leader of Red Snow Mountain said something to Patriarch Chu via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique.
Patriarch Chu’s eyes narrowed slightly. After two seconds of silence, he smiled.
“In fact, I also agree with this matter. Chu Qingyi has been with Chu Qing since she was a child. They grew up together and are good sisters. I can rest a.s.sured if they can be together with Young Master Dong.”
What he said meant that he had roughly agreed to this matter.
Before the laughter of the Sect Leader of the Red Snow Mountain could spread, Patriarch Chu suddenly changed the subject.
“But I’ve never intervened in the juniors’ relations.h.i.+p affairs. Chu Qing likes Young Master Dong, but Chu Qingyi may not like him. When she gets here, I’ll ask her about her opinion first, and then we can discuss it.”
“Alright.” The Sect Leader of the Red Snow Mountain nodded.
He snorted in his heart. “Greedy.”
He had thought that Patriarch Chu was merely asking for extra betrothal gifts, so he directly agreed to offer precious treasures. However, Patriarch Chu still did not agree to the matter right away.
“What does Patriarch mean by this?”
Several elders of the Chu Family secretly transmitted their voices to each other.
“Chu Qing is his biological daughter, and Chu Qingyi is his adopted daughter. He is going to marry both of them to Young Master Dong at the same time? Isn’t that a little too indecent? He thinks too highly of the Mount Blood Sect.”
“That’s right. Our family is more powerful than the Mount Blood Sect. How could he do this?”
Some people couldn’t understand why Patriarch Chu would do this.
In the end, this matter was heard by Chu Qing, who was doing her makeup.
Smack!
Chu Qing was so angry that her face turned livid. She smashed the things in front of her.
“Chu Qingyi! Why did she come back at this time? What’s so good about her that Young Master Dong can’t forget about her? Why?”
She vented her anger.
The maids were scared out of her wits.
However, the ceremony had to be held at noon. After a short while, Chu Qing calmed down.
After about half an hour, Chu Qingyi walked into the Dragon Phoenix Palace.
“Hmm?”
When the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak and the others saw that Chu Qingyi was wheeling a man, they couldn’t help but size him up.
“This is Chu Qingyi’s teacher who taught her martial arts in the outside world. She brought him back to attend Chu Qing’s wedding and pay a visit to the Chu Family,” Patriarch Chu said.
“He is my master,” Chu Qingyi said in front of everyone. Then, she greeted them. “Greetings, Red Snow Mountain Leader, Patriarch.”
Patriarch Chu didn’t respond, and his face was even slightly darkened.
The patriarch would be very angry when a woman from his family dared to deny his words in front of him.
“Alright.”
The Sect Leader of the Red Snow Mountain smiled and said, “Chu Qingyi, you’re indeed very beautiful. No wonder you could charm my son.
“I’m way flattered,” Chu Qingyi replied in neither a servile nor overbearing manner.
“A talented man and a beautiful woman. You are a match made in heaven,” said the Red Snow Mountain Master.
As soon as he spoke, some of the core members on his side echoed.
“Yeah. Young Master Dong has adored Qingyi since he was a child.”
No matter what the people of Red Snow Mountain said, Patriarch Chu did not say a word.
He seemed to have forgotten what had just happened.
The crowd gradually fell silent.
Chu Qingyi wheeled Zhang Han to the left. It was as if they were here to watch the fun.
“Chu Qingyi.”
Patriarch Chu said, “Just now, I promised to have you marry Young Master Dong with Chu Qing. It’s still early. Go backstage and dress up. When the ceremony begins, you two can go on stage together.
What he said was very abrupt.
But it made the Red Snow Mountain Master laugh.
Young Master Dong looked pleasantly surprised as he looked at Chu Qingyi with a smile.
“Congratulations, Young Master Dong.”
The others congratulated him in succession.
Chu Qingyi’s expression changed slightly.
She had offended the patriarch a little just now. She knew that he was not happy.
“If I refuse it now, I will completely break off relations with the Chu Family.
“I won’t get to handle Master’s affairs, and we have wasted so much time here.
“What should I do?”
Chu Qingyi was stuck in a difficult position.
“Patriarch Chu, you shouldn’t have been so hasty to make such a decision.”
The atmosphere had just been a little lively and joyful, but with Zhang Han’s words, it fell into silence.
Many people’s eyes were fixed on Zhang Han. Some were scrutinizing him, some were cold, and some were dissatisfied with him.
In short, none of them gave him any nice looks.
“What did you say?” Patriarch Chu’s face darkened.
“Chu Qingyi doesn’t have any biological parents with her. She has performed the apprentice ceremony with me. I’m her master, so I’m also like her father. Therefore, I won’t agree to let you marry your adopted daughter off, Patriarch Chu,” Zhang Han said calmly.
“Master.” Chu Qingyi gently bit her lower lip with a complicated expression on her face.
“Don’t be like this.” A voice suddenly sounded in Zhang Han’s ear,
It was Young Master Dong’s voice transmission. He said something in a hurry.
Zhang Han frowned slightly.
After looking back and forth between him and Chu Qingyi thoughtfully, he finally shook his head slightly.
“Chu Qingyi grew up in my Chu Family. I am her adoptive father, and I raised her. Who do you think you are? What right do you have to give orders in the Chu Family?” Patriarch Chu said coldly,
“You’re too arrogant.” Another high-level official of the Chu Family slammed the table and stood up. He glared at Zhang Han and said, “How dare you! If it weren’t for the great event today, I would have killed you just because of what you said just now!”
Zhang Han took a look at the person who spoke.
He was at the Void-refining Realm Middle-Stage.
He seemed to be tyrannical.
However, he couldn’t even defeat Chu Qingyi in terms of real strength.
The only person whom Zhang Han was afraid of in the hall was the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak, who was watching the fun from aside.
He was at the Integration Realm Peak-Stage.
The gap between them was too great.
However, Zhang Han could still escape.
Fortunately, he had already prepared for this.
At this time, he glanced around and said calmly, “Do you think you’re infallible? Qingyi, let me ask you, between the Chu Family and me, who will you listen to?”
When Chu Qingyi made a decision, she never hesitated. When she heard this, she said directly, “I’ll listen to you, Master.”
Swoos.h.!.+
Patriarch Chu’s expression kept changing.
In the end, his face turned livid.
“Very well. Men, capture these two pieces of trash and take them to Hurricane Cliff!”
Hurricane Cliff was the place where the Chu Family was specially built to imprison sinners. It was under a cliff that howled with hurricanes all year round. The Heaven-earth Formation there was set by their Grand Master.
When someone was blown by the wind there, he would feel as if a knife were cutting him.
Generally speaking, only those who had made a big mistake would be sent to Hurricane Cliff.
“Patriarch Chu, there’s no need to get angry.”
Just as someone from the Chu Family was about to take Zhang Han and Chu Qingyi away, Young Master Dong quickly said, “I have some feelings for Chu Qingyi, but there are some things that can’t be forced. Patriarch Chu, I appreciate your kindness. It’s already my luck to have Chu Qing accompany me.”
“Chu Qingyi, hurry up and apologize to your adoptive father. Do you want to be locked up with your master?” a female senior said sternly,
In fact, she was also giving Chu Qingyi a way out.
By doing so, Chu Qingyi would be fine. However, her master would still have to be punished.
But no one would ever expect Chu Qingyi to be so stubborn.
“Let’s go, Master.”
Chu Qingyi knew that she would definitely not be able to get their business done.
She was about to wheel Zhang Han to leave.
At this time, Zhang Han was also ready to cast a spell to let them leave here as soon as possible.
The atmosphere was tense.
“Hasn’t the ceremony begun yet?”
A faint voice rang out from the plaza outside.
“The Grand Master has returned!”
Patriarch Chu’s expression changed, and he immediately stood up and took the lead to welcome Grand Master Chu.
The Sect Leader of the Mount Blood Sect, Young Master Dong, and the others also got up and followed him. When the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak pa.s.sed by, he glanced at Zhang Han and Chu Qingyi.
He said with a faint smile, “It would appear that you all will not be able to escape punishment today. Grand Master Chu’s temper is not very good. Girl, if you are to agree to the marriage, I will protect you and your master.”
After saying this, he walked out of the hall.
Outside the hall, Grand Master Chu’s long beard fluttered as he and an old friend slowly descended from the sky.
“Grand Master.”
“Grand Master.”
The people of the Chu Family greeted him in succession.
“Brother Chu, you’ve finally returned,” the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak said with a laugh.
Grand Master Chu smiled faintly as he said, “Brother Azurepeak, I was in a hurry to return because I heard that you were coming. I’m glad that I managed to make it in time.”
“This is the Old Taoist Honghu. Seeing how lively my Chu Family is today, he insisted on coming here to take a look.” Grand Master Chu couldn’t help but laugh.
It seemed that he and Old Taoist Honghu were good friends.
“Old Taoist Honghu? The one who established the Sky Suppressing Lake?” Patriarch Chu was stunned.
“Greetings, Senior Honghu.” The Sect Leader of the Red Snow Mountain greeted.
“Greetings, senior.”
The others spoke successively.
The atmosphere was lively.
At this time, in the main hall.
“Master, things are not going well. Shall we escape through the back door?” Chu Qingyi reminded Zhang Han in a low voice,
“Wait a minute.” Zhang Han frowned and looked at Grand Master Chu with a little confusion.
However, he also took out a gem with his right hand. He could activate the formation at any time and leave as fast as he could.
“Grand Master, Senior Honghu, Senior Azurepeak, please come in,” Patriarch Chu said with a smile.
At the same time, he waved his hand and gave instructions to a middle-aged man, “Take those two out.”
“Who?” the middle-aged man asked subconsciously.
Patriarch Chu felt helpless and glared at him. “Those two irrelevant people!”
“Oh, I see.”
The middle-aged man was just about to take action.
Looking at Patriarch Chu’s expression, Grand Master Chu glanced at the hall. He recognized Chu Qingyi, so he asked, “Which two?”
Chu Qingyi had reached the Void-refining Realm Early-Stage at such a young age. Grand Master Chu thought highly of her.
Patriarch Chu had a bad temper and in front of the old ancestor, there was no need to pretend, so he said honestly, “The two trash that affects the atmosphere.”
“I see.”
With the guests around, Grand Master Chu didn’t say much about the matter, and he was not in charge of the household affairs.
But when he took the lead to walk into the hall, before he could get inside, he saw the person in the wheelchair clearly.
Buzz!
Grand Master Chu’s expression changed drastically. His eyes bulged and they nearly popped out of their sockets.
When he stopped, Patriarch Chu, who was following closely behind him, b.u.mped into him.
“Grand Master, what’s the matter?” Patriarch Chu asked in a trance.
“Brother Chu? What are you doing?” The Taoist Lord of Azurepeak didn’t know what was going on.
Beside him, Honghu also asked curiously, “Old Chu, what’s wrong?”
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
More and more eyes were focused on Grand Master Chu’s face.
He looked like he was suffering from a seizure. His facial muscles kept trembling, and even his beard was trembling. He looked like he was having a serious illness.
Clatter!
Patriarch Chu’s heart skipped a beat. “Could it be that the Grand Master is sick?”
However, what happened next completely stupefied Patriarch Chu and made him dumbfounded.
Everyone saw the Chu Family’s Grand Master, who was over a thousand years old, trembling. He stretched out his right hand and wanted to go forward, but he did not dare to move.
It was not until ten seconds later that he asked in an incomparably trembling voice, “Big… Big Brother Hanyang?”
“What?”
Countless gasps could be heard all over the place.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the man in the wheelchair.
“What?
“Big Brother Hanyang?
“Grand Master Chu calls him Big Brother?”
At this moment, the surroundings were deathly silent, and countless people felt a chill run down their spines as if they had a blade to their backs.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhang Han looked at Grand Master Chu with a faint smile and said, “If I remember correctly, you are… Chu Zheng?”
Rumble!
Patriarch Chu staggered and felt a lack of oxygen in his brain.
However, the blow had only just begun.
“Yes, yes, I’m Little Zheng. Big Brother Hanyang, do you still remember me?”
They saw that Grand Master Chu was as happy as a child.
Rumble!
It was as if a bolt from the blue had struck them.
Patriarch Chu’s legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
“Not good!
“Poor me…”
