07 Engagement token
:
"This is your origin," Grandpa Ye looked at me, "You chose the Wu family and became the child of the Wu family. Frankly speaking, this made me and your Grandpa An and Grandpa Lin a little disappointed. We four brothers are closer than brothers in terms of feelings, but we are young after all, and we are still a little contending in our hearts. In terms of origin, the brothers are all Kunlun Dharma veins, regardless of the upper and lower levels, but your opportunity is in the Wu family, so that night our brothers made an agreement."
"What agreement?" An Yu asked.
Grandpa Ye's family smiled.
But my face turned red.
An Yu looked at us and seemed to understand, "Is it... related to us?" "We are four brothers, and we were not married at that time," said the Ye family grandfather, "Because the boy chose the Wu family, we also calculated each other's third generation. This calculation found that your third grandfather and I had only one granddaughter in the future. As for your grandfather, he would have two granddaughters, but the eldest granddaughter would die young and leave only one little granddaughter to inherit the Dharma lineage. This means that the Ye family, An family, and Lin family will inherit the Dharma lineage in the future. So our brothers agreed to marry all the granddaughters of our three families to the Wu family's child in the future. Among the three girls, the fourth grandfather chose a wife for Wu Zheng with half of the secret "Twelve Golden Light Swords" written by the Wu family as a token. As for the other two girls, they also married Wu Zheng, but they did not enter the Wu family's door, they were only women, not wives."
An Yu's face turned red.
But my heart suddenly shook, "Token? That half of the "Twelve Golden Light Swords" is my engagement token?"
"Yes," the Ye family grandfather nodded, "The Twelve Golden Light Swords Art is the method of cultivating immortals, the most fundamental and powerful secret technique in the Tianji Mansion, and the most precious treasure passed down by the Wu family in all dynasties. Did you give that half of the book to Lin Xia?"
I subconsciously swallowed, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Engagement token? That half of the book is actually my engagement token!
I gave it to Lin Xia, then wouldn't Lin Xia be...
The Ye family grandfather looked at me for a while, smiled relievedly, and nodded, "Your grandfather is right to choose Lin Xia for you. An Yu and Ye Qian are also good children, but only Lin Xia can inherit the legal traditions of the Wu family and the Lin family at the same time and carry forward the two schools."
He turned to look at An Yu, "An Yu, do you understand what Grandpa said?"
An Yu nodded with a red face, "Well, I understand, grandpa..."
The old man nodded, grabbed our hands, took a deep breath, and sighed, "It's a pity that Ye Qian is not here, and there are some things that grandpa can't say..."
He glanced meaningfully, "Wu Zheng, Grandpa will entrust Ye Qian to you today..."
An Yu looked at me.
The old man's words are very simple, but they are very heavy. I understand, and she understands them too.
I was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and nodded seriously.
Grandpa Ye’s family felt relieved and smiled slightly, “Okay, I’ve said everything I should say, grandpa can leave with peace of mind…”
"Grandpa..." An Yu looked at him with distress, his eyes turned red.
"Girl, don't do this..." Grandpa Ye looked at her kindly and said earnestly, "Grandpa invited you here today not to let you save grandpa, but if I don't say these things, there will be no chance. Wu Zheng is not like grandpa, he will not let anyone of you. Grandpa is not like grandpa. Grandpa has to pay back this debt..."
"Grandpa..." An Yu cried, lowered her head, and burst into tears.
"Okay, don't cry anymore," the old man smiled and looked at me, "Wu Zheng, grandpa has said everything he should say, the rest of the road depends on you. We are all old, our era has passed, but your era has just begun. Grandpa knows that you have conquered the five demon clans, good looks! Grandpas are all proud of you, and they are worthy of being our good grandson!"
My eyes were also wet, "Grandpa, you and Gillian..."
The old man waved his hand, "I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore..."
His eyes were red, with tears in his eyes, and he smiled miserably, "Fifty years ago, I should have left. It was your Grandma Ye who blocked the disaster for me; Eighteen years ago, I should have left. It was your uncle and aunt, my miserable son and daughter-in-law who died for me and saved my life. For eighteen years, Ye Meng and I have depended on each other and lived in this empty courtyard. I miss you Grandma Ye, and I miss Ye Qian, and my heart was broken. Now, I can be freed. I can finally pay off the debt I owe her. Very good. Once I pay off the debt, I can be freed..."
"Grandpa, what kind of hatred did you and her have?" An Yu asked sadly, "How could the two people in love have made such a fuss?"
"Because I broke my promise and gave her..." Grandpa Ye said sadly, "She is the princess of the Dragon Clan of the West Sea. Because she let us go to Tianwu Peak, the Dragon Lord of the West Sea deposed her reputation and sent her to the underwater ice prison for three years. I don't know that she suffered so much. I waited for her for two years, but she never heard from her. I thought she would not come back, so I married my then girlfriend, Qin Tianyi, the head of Tianshu Sect, as his wife. But in the second year of our marriage, not long after Tianyi gave birth to a child, Tan Jiao came."
He shed tears and cried, "She hated me for breaking her promise, and in anger she wanted to kill me. Tianyi was beaten seriously injured by her in order to save me. Tianyi told her that it was not my fault for this, she forced me to marry her. Tan Jiao refused to listen, and wanted to kill my whole family. Later, the ghost envoy from the underworld came, and then stopped her."
He wiped his tears, calmed his emotions, and continued, "The ghost envoy told Tan Jiao that Ye Shenggong is the guardian of the underworld, and she is not allowed to be arrogant. Tan Jiao was dissatisfied with her and said that as a dragon girl, she was deceived by mortals and her innocence, which damaged the reputation of the dragon clan in the West Sea. She had to destroy my Ye family in order to restore the reputation of the dragon clan. The ghost envoy and she did not give in to each other, and they were about to call her. I told her, "It's me that I'm sorry for you, don't hurt my family. When my child grows up, I'll go with you..."
"What happened later?" I asked.
"She heard what I said, and she said nothing, turned around and left," Grandpa Ye smiled bitterly, "Tianyi was seriously injured at that time, and I begged the ghost messenger to save her. The ghost messenger said, I can't save Miss Qin's injury. You can send her to Tiannu Peak, and then send her back to Tianshu Gate. Someone will save her in the future. After hearing this, I sent Tianyi to Tiannu Peak. When I got there, I found that the fate crystal had recovered. After we arrived, I prayed to the fate crystal.
Please, please help it save my wife. The Destiny Crystal seemed to hear my prayer. It emitted a golden light, sucked Tianyi's soul in, and sealed it. I was stunned at the time and was stunned for a long time before I realized that I knelt in front of the Destiny Crystal and cried. After crying for a long time, Tianyi appeared from the Destiny Crystal. She asked me to send her body back to Tianshu Gate and handed it to her maid, Miss Bai, and she said that I should not be sad, and I will always be reunited in the future..."
He closed his eyes in pain and took a deep breath, "Fifty years...Fifty years..."
I felt sad, "Grandpa, don't feel uncomfortable, I will rescue Grandma Ye..."
He looked at me with tears in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak.
Ye Meng's voice came from outside, "Master, you can start the meal..."
The Ye family grandfather was stunned and stopped talking.
