After two days of traveling, the convoy finally walked out of the desert and came to a clear apricot edge.

Seeing this, Shui Youning ordered the convoy to stop here for an hour, let everyone take a shower and replenish clean water.

Just as a group of guards were ecstatic and ready to take off their feet and jump into the river, Jiang Chen suddenly changed his expression: "No! A large group of people flew over! And they all looked very low in cultivation!"

Although his cultivation level is lower than Shui Youning, his spiritual sense is stronger than her, so he first sensed the powerful aura coming from afar.

"What? Was it flying over?" Shui Youning was also shocked. Those who could fly were the foundation-building cultivators or the Qi-refining cultivators who had flying magic weapons. But no matter which one it was, they were strong enemies that the caravans could not deal with at present.

So she immediately shouted: "Hurry! Put the cart in a circle! Build the barrel array to resist!"

Just as the guards began to set up their formation in panic, dozens of black dots suddenly appeared in the sky and flew towards them at a fast speed.

Jiang Chen suddenly felt nervous because he had already seen that these monks were all the foundation-building cultivators, and one of them was even a white-haired old man who couldn't even see through his cultivation. The tenth ** was the Golden Elixir Stage Ancestor.

However, just as the guards were sweating, Shui Youning looked relaxed and said happily: "Don't panic, everyone, it's your own people!"

At this moment, the group of monks had already fallen from the air and stood next to the convoy. The leader was the white-haired old man from the Jindan stage. After seeing Shui Youning, he immediately stepped forward and said excitedly: "Girl Youning, are you okay? Is the amethyst sand still there?"

Shui Youning hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying softly: "Youning has seen her second uncle, and she is quite lucky this time. In addition to Uncle En, she was injured, only more than ten guards were injured and the Amethyst Sand was finally escorted out."

The old man with white hair is Shui Tianzhun, the second elder of the Shui family. Standing beside him was an obese man in his thirties and in his late stage of foundation building. He had a face full of flesh and a appearance of five or sixty similar to Shui Tianzhun. He probably should be his son.

After hearing this, the fat man immediately snorted coldly: "Since that's the case, it means that all you meet are ordinary bandits, not from the Wang family at all. It's not worth mentioning at all, but you panic and asked Shui Qin to come to report the message, which made the whole family very nervous. You Miss Shui really know how to mess with people!"

After hearing this, Shui Youning's pretty face changed immediately. She said angrily: "Shui Xiangzhong. You are really nonsense! Do you know? The enemies we are facing are more than a hundred Wang family monks led by Wang Quan, assisted by Wang Zhen and Wang Feng, and a beast trainer who can drive the sand lizard to help. Moreover, Wang Feng has also broken through to the late stage of foundation building. When encountering an enemy of this strength, can we not ask for help?"

After hearing this, Shui Xiangzhong said with disdain, "Shui Youning. You really know how to make up lies. The Wang family has really mobilized so many people, and Wang Feng has also broken through to the late stage of foundation building. Haven't your team been killed to death long ago, can you escape?"

At this time, Shui Qin ran up panting. He had only the initial stage of foundation building cultivation, and was missing Shui Xiangzhong and others, so he landed behind while flying.

He had already heard the dispute between the two and quickly defended Shui Youning: "Master Zhong, I really didn't lie to you! When I broke through, I even had a palm against Wang Zhen. Fortunately, Wang Feng was chasing Suwon at that time and did not pursue me. Otherwise, I would not be able to escape back to report the news."

"God knows if you are lying. Now that my Shui family is in a storm, you are making a fuss here. You are making a big fuss, making everyone panic..." Shui Xiangzhong sarcastically. He obviously didn't believe the words of Shui Youning and Shui Qin.

Shui Youning was also so angry that her pretty face seemed to be covered with frost. At this time, she flew to a big cart beside her, suddenly reached out to grab a person from the carriage, and then threw it to Shui Xiangzhong, and said coldly: "Shui Xiangzhong, open your dog's eyes and look at it. This is Wang Quan! But we captured alive!"

Looking at the young man tied up like a rice dumpling, pale and embarrassed, Shui Xiangzhong naturally recognized him. This was Wang Quan, the second young master of the Wang family, who had always been inconsistent with the Shui family.

"Ah! It's really Wang Quan!" The other monks of the Shui family on the side also recognized this person.

Seeing this, Wang Quan forced himself to hold on and said with a stern look on his face: "Your Shui family would better let me go, the second young master! Otherwise, my Wang family and the Lin family would not give up!"

"Wang Quan, you bastard! You dare to be arrogant after becoming a prisoner!" Shui Youning was angry and stepped forward and slapped him four times, making him slapped in the face.

"Youning slowly, take him back first! Let your brother give him a shot! I believe you!" Shui Tianzhun hurriedly stopped him.

Now the facts are in front of him, and he can't help but refuse to believe it.

Shui Xiangzhong was a little worried, because he was questioning Shui Youning and Shui Qin's words just now, but he was immediately slapped by the facts. So he had to say in disappointment: "I don't believe it. With your Shui Youning's strength, you can deal with Wang Quan, Wang Feng and Wang Quan at the same time..."

"That's right! It's not my credit, but brother Jiang Chen's actions that saved us from the disaster!" Shui Youning said at this time, Fang Yizhi Jiang Chen, who was standing not far away beside her.

Jiang Chen had actually been in front of the team, but he saw that the visitor was from the Shui family, so he didn't plan to stand out. But unexpectedly, Shui Youning and Shui Xiangzhong's argument brought him out again.

Shui Xiangzhong looked up and down at Jiang Chen, and felt that apart from being handsome, this person had normal cultivation and his cultivation was only in the early stage of foundation building. Even Shui Youning was not as good as that. How could such a person defeat Wang Feng?”

He immediately frowned and said in confusion: "Shui Youning, this person is your good friend, right? In order to let him marry into my Shui family, you have made a great contribution on him."

When Shui Youning heard this, she was embarrassed and angry and spat, "What are you talking nonsense? They are powerful disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Wang Zhen and Wang Feng were both killed by him. Although Wang Quan was captured by me, it was all up to him to intercept him. More than 200 people in our caravan can testify! If you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for turning against me, Shui Youning, and ask the elders to punish you!"

After hearing this, Shui Xiangzhong immediately closed his mouth tactfully. Although he still didn't believe it, if he listened to Shui Youning's words, if he questioned the matter again, he would turn against him. At that time, there would be so many people on Shui Youning's side that proved that Jiang Chen had made great contributions and was a person who was kind to the Shui family. If he was disrespectful to the Shui family's benefactor, after he went back, the head of the family would be afraid that he would punish him to face the wall for half a year and apologize, and he would be even more embarrassed by that time.

"Hmph! This little bitch, let you be arrogant for a few days first, and then let you look good!" Shui Xiangzhong said hatefully in his heart.

At this time, Shui Tianzhun came forward again and comforted Shui Youning and Jiang Chenhou. Fang announced that the two teams had merged into one team, and then continued to go on the road and headed towards Xiangyang City.

Jiang Chen was naturally invited into Shui Youning's beast carriage again. After eating two sweet cakes, Shui Youning raised his head and said, "Brother Jiang, you must be very surprised, why did Shui Xiangzhong be so hostile to me just now?"

"Yes! Logically speaking, although you and him are not brothers and sisters, they are also cousins. How could the family be so irresistible? They are targeting you everywhere?" Jiang Chen was indeed surprised.

"After all, this is all caused by the word "power"!" Shui Youning sighed.

It turns out that a large family like the Shui family also has many branches, the largest of which are the long house, the second house and the third house. Most of the previous heads were born among the outstanding figures of these three houses.

Currently, the head of the Shui family is Shui Youning's father Shui Tianji. The second and third elders of the family are Shui Tianzhun of the second bedroom and Shui Tiancheng of the third bedroom respectively.

There is also a Nascent Soul monk in the Shui family who served as the Great Elder in his family. However, he basically does not take care of the family affairs and always asks the Shui family presbyterians to discuss the matter of establishing the heirs of the family head. At most, the new head will attend when he ascends the throne.

"According to the practice of the Shui family, any young person who has reached the middle stage of foundation building and is under 30 years old will be considered a potential disciple and qualified to compete for the position of the heir of the family head. And the Shui family's children who meet this condition are me, my sister Shui Yuening, Shui Xiangyong from the third room, and Shui Xiangzhong you have seen just now. Don't look at his face in his thirties, but in fact, his real age is only twenty-seven years old, and only four years older than me." Shui Youning introduced.

After pausing, she said again: "According to the rules, the heirs of the family head will generally have two heirs, the first and second heirs, so as not to prevent one of them from happening in an accident, which will cause the family's inheritance to be interrupted. Once it is established as the heirs of the family head, the family will give priority to the cultivation resources such as elixirs, magic tools, and fulu, and focus on training. At the same time, the family heirs will also be allowed to take over some internal management affairs of the family and can participate in the meeting of family elders, which is of great power."

"So, Shui Xiangzhong and Shui Xiangyong were eager for this position and wanted to become the next head of the family. So not only mobilized the second and third houses to support them, but also tried every means to attack me and my sister. They knew that they were inferior to us in handling family affairs, but they could not beat our sisters in terms of magical powers. So they set up another path and spread rumors in the family. They said that women would always get married, and they would face the matter of establishing an heir to the head of the family at that time, so why bother to do anything?"

"And, in recent times, Wang Quan, the second young master of the Wang family, and Lin Yusheng, the third young master of the Lin family, asked someone to propose marriage to my father, saying that he wanted to marry me and my sister, which further encouraged their arrogance. It was not until a month ago that my sister and I publicly announced in the family that we would not get married, so we calmed down these gossips..."

When Jiang Chen heard this, he was shocked and said, "Youning, are you not getting married?"

"It's not that you don't get married, but that you don't get married!" Shui Youning said this, her pretty face showed a blush and said shyly: "We have a woman in the Shui family who was the head of the family. At this time, if the female head of the family refuses to give up the position of the head of the family and wants to get married, the husband he married must be only a son-in-law. The children born are also surnamed Shui, but do not take their husband's surname. At the same time, when the husband is married, he must sign a contract, agreeing not to attend family meetings, hold no positions in the family, and interfere with the internal affairs of Shui family..."

After hearing this, Jiang Chen also stuck out his tongue. This condition was too insulting. He completely used the son-in-law who married into the family as a tool for breeding.

Shui Youning obviously realized this, so Youyou said: "So, such harsh conditions are very humiliating for men. So, not to mention the great immortal family, even many casual cultivators are unwilling to do so. Therefore, the people married to the female head of my Shui family are almost all unscrupulous casual cultivators with low cultivation, lazy food and no ability."

Then, she explained: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether our sisters are the head of this family, but the key is that Shui Xiangzhong and Shui Xiangyong only know how to fight for power and profit, suppress dissidents, and know nothing about running a business. If the Shui family falls into the hands of these two people, they will probably be defeated in less than twenty years. I also stood up and competed for the position of this family with them after the strong persuasion of my father and several elders in the family!"

Jiang Chen nodded silently. It seemed that every family had a difficult sutra to recite. Just imagine a small demon soul peak was full of internal fighting. What's more, what about the great immortal cultivation family like the Xiangshui family, which is comparable to the Heavenly Demon Sect?
