Chapter 8: Marriage

Rolling yellow sand, vast world.

At this time, a small caravan was walking through the wind and sand, heading towards the northwest.

Located at the intersection of the borders of the Tang and Song dynasties, it is attacked by dust storms all year round, disorderly, and sand thieves are rampant... However, it is the only safe area in the yellow sand. No one or force is allowed to cause trouble in Luoyangji, otherwise it will be subject to joint sanctions.

Simply put, we only do business here, black, white, red, and other things can be discussed, but we will not interfere in any struggle between forces.

Because of this, the commerce here is particularly developed, and many merchants are willing to risk their lives and come here to trade goods in groups.

...

"Boss, there are a bunch of goats, they look pretty fat. Should we do it?"

"I'm so angry, I didn't see it's the banner of the Immortal Dao Zhuo family?"

"I heard that the head of the Zhuo family is a master in the Shuangqiao Realm. If we provoke the Zhuo family's caravan, we are not enough to be stuck in our teeth!"

"What should we do now?"

"What do you do if you like? I won't go to this muddy water anyway... I'm so excited!"

...

"Look, it's the Zhuo family's caravan!"

"Damn it! This time I've been in vain!"

"Retreat!"

...

The Zhuo family caravans were moving forward all the way, and many sand thieves retreated when they saw the difficulties, and several waves of bandits took risks and wanted to take advantage of them, but they ended up being destroyed.

Zhuo Fuhai rode the spiritual beast dragon rhinoceros and walked in front of the caravan, wearing white spiritual armor, an elegant cloud crane printed on his chest, carrying a silver feathered sword, and his beard drooped, looking energetic and majestic.

Through the dunes, a golden town appeared and appeared in the wind and sand.

Although it is a market, it is not small in scale and is even more prosperous than ordinary towns.

Unlike the wind and sand outside, the sun is deserted, and the sun is isolated from the formation. The internal environment is stable and comfortable. There are even many places where people indulge in the music and flowers, and the people who come in and out look red and proud.

As soon as Zhuo Fuhai entered the market, a team of people came to greet him. The middle-aged man in purple clothes and Confucian robe was elegant and restrained, with a bit of a Taoist fairy style.

"Brother Zhuo came from afar, Wen Yu has been waiting for a long time!"

The man in Confucian robe smiled and bowed, his face full of enthusiasm.

This person's name is Xilou Wenyu, and he is the current head of the Xilou family in Xishanling. His cultivation is comparable to Zhuo Fuhai.

The Xilou family, like the Xiandao Zhuo family, is a low-quality family. Both families and three generations have trade exchanges and are also important partners. They can be said to be a friendship between generations... When Zhuo Fuhai and Xilou Wenyu were young, they were born and died many times, and they had a life-long friendship and were very close.

"Brother Xilou, please be polite."

Zhuo Fuhai waved his hand, stepped forward to hold the other person's arm, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"bite!"

Wenyu of Xilou opened the spiritual ring and ordered: "Butler Rong, the distinguished guests of Dongling have arrived. Please ask the restaurant to prepare for the meal. We will arrive soon."

After saying that, Xilou Wenyu turned to Zhuo Fuhai without waiting for the other party to reply and said, "The banquet is ready, Brother Zhuo, come with me, and is about to welcome you!"

"Brother Xilou, please!"

Zhuo Fuhai was not polite either. He ordered his subordinates and left side by side with Xilou Wenyu.

...

Outside the Luoyang Tower, Butler Rong led his servants to wait here. Beside him was a girl with colorful clouds and gauze. She was fourteen or fifteen years old, with a delicate face, and a hint of pride and beauty between her eyebrows.

Seeing that Xilou Wenyu and others appeared, Butler Rong hurriedly brought people to greet him.

"Girl, I'm just here to pay homage to you Uncle Zhuo."

Hearing the greeting of Wenyu from Xilou, the girl in Caishi hesitated for a moment and still went forward to salute obediently: "West Lou Ruomeng pays homage to Zhuo Shiwang."

"oh!?"

Zhuo Fuhai's eyes lit up and down, looking at the girl with colorful shiny up and down, with a happy smile on his face: "This is Xiao Ruomeng, she has grown into a big girl in a blink of an eye, okay!"

As an elder, a gift for meeting is naturally indispensable. Zhuo Fuhai quickly took out a blue spiritual jade from the bag and put it in the little girl's hand. A trace of coolness was sent into the palm of his hand.

This is a relatively precious spiritual jade. The little girl likes it very much. She bows and thanks again, and her tone is much softer than before.

Seeing this, Xilou Wenyu smiled bitterly, but he did not stop him: "Brother Zhuo, don't praise her, so that she will become more and more proud."

Zhuo Fuhai said disapprovingly: "The little princess of the Xilou family is a proud daughter of heaven. What's the point of being proud of her? Hahaha!"

"Okay, okay, we have been with each other for many years, so don't mess with these stupid people."

Wenyu of the West Tower waved his hand and went to the restaurant with Zhuo Fuhai.

...

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere was warm.

Xilou Wenyu waved his hand and signaled that Butler Rong and others would retreat temporarily, leaving their daughter with them only.

"Brother Zhuo, I mentioned the marriage last time, what did you think about it?"

When Zhuo Fuhai heard Wenyu in Xilou asked, he put down the wine cup and looked a little excited. Then he shook his head and sighed: "Brother Xilou is so satisfied, Zhuo feels guilty! You also know that Yunxian's child is innate and in the future..."

"There is nothing to be worthy of!"

Xilou Wenyu waved his hand and said undeniably: "If you become a family in the future, will Yunxian be my child? And... After they get married, Ruomeng can continue to practice. If you have the blood of the Zhuo family in the future, you won't have to be as embarrassed as you are now."

Xilou Wenyu persuaded him for a while, as if he had made up his mind.

Xilou Ruomeng bit her lip and silently lowered her head.

Zhuo Fuhai's face was complicated and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Zhuo Yunxian has always been a heart-wrenching problem of Zhuo Fuhai. His son is unable to cultivate the path of immortality, so he is destined to be unable to inherit everything from the Zhuo family. After all, Zhuo Yuwan is a woman and may have to marry. Even if he doesn't get married, the elders of the Zhuo family will not be willing to be ridden by a woman, unless Zhuo Yuwan can open up the bridge between heaven and earth and suppress all rebellions within the clan.

Obviously this is not realistic. After all, not everyone can connect to the two bridges of heaven and earth, and it requires great luck and great opportunities. Although Zhuo Yuwan has good talent, he has no guarantee.

However, if Zhuo Yunxian could pass on his descendants of blood, his descendants would naturally be able to inherit the Zhuo family's family business in a legitimate manner.

Zhuo Fuhai has already inquired about it. Ruomeng, the West Lou, has a very good qualification to cultivate immortality. The child he gave birth to must be talented. With Zhuo Fuhai's protection and the resources of the Zhuo family, Zhuo Yunxian's children will definitely become a dragon and a phoenix among people in the future.

People are selfish, let alone for their children's parents.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Fuhai gradually suppressed his guilt: "Brother Xilou, please rest assured. Xiao Meng entered the Zhuo family's door, which is the Zhuo family. What the Zhuo family owns is what she owns. Zhuo will definitely not treat him badly..."

After a pause, Zhuo Fuhai turned around and said, "It is said that there will be treasures of heaven and earth at this auction of Luoyangji. I am about to take this item. At that time, Xiao Meng and Yunxian will take Yin and Yang Fruit together, and I will use the secret method again, which may be able to make up for Yunxian's innate shortcomings."

"So great good! Great good!"

Xilou Wenyu laughed happily, raised his wine glass with satisfaction, and the two of them drank it all in one go.

Xilou Ruomeng quietly looked up at her father, then lowered her head again, as if she didn't want others to see her expression.

From beginning to end, neither Xilou Wenyu nor Zhuo Fuhai asked his children what they thought.

The more wealth he is, the more he can't help himself. The little girl knows very well that while she enjoys many rights, she also has to pay the same price.

This is reality.

...

After drinking and eating, Zhuo Fuhai left first to deal with the goods.

In the elegant room of the restaurant, only Wen Yu and his daughter in the West Tower were left.

"Dad, I..."

Ruomeng in Xilou was about to speak, but Wenyu in Xilou interrupted lightly: "Girl, I know what you are thinking, but I have taught you that those who want to achieve great things must be scheming. No matter what your thoughts are, they cannot be easily revealed."

"yes."

Xilou Ruomeng gritted her teeth and lowered her head again.

Xilou Wenyu put down the wine cup and stood up and said, "The marriage is settled so much. Do what you should do, and don't pay attention to anything else... You just need to remember that today's patience is for a better future."

"Daughter remembered."

Ruomeng Xilou raised her head again, her face extremely calm, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this scene, Xilou Wenyu nodded with satisfaction and turned away.

...

————————————

In the evening, Luoyangji Auction House officially opened.

The auction is not too large, but many wealthy monks gathered here, and even some sand thieves disguised themselves. They naturally came for the treasures of heaven and earth.

However, although the Xiandao Zhuo family and the Xilou family are low-quality families, they are first-class forces on this border. When the two families jointly suppress them, they naturally easily get into their pockets. As for other things, it is difficult for them to see the status of Zhuo Fuhai and Xilou Wenyu.

After completing the transaction, Zhuo Fuhai and Xilou Wenyu took Xilou Ruomeng to leave.

Many forces wanted to follow him, but were afraid that the two companies would join forces, so they had to give up their unwillingness in the end.
