Chapter 28

Bang bang!

Chen Yu was woken up by a series of knocks on the door.

"Brother Yu, open the door. There's good news, the bounty from the mayor's office has arrived … "

The clear voice of a young girl sounded.

Chen Yu didn't need to open his eyes to know it was his cousin, Chen Ying 'er.

"Good news? The bounty is here? "

Chen Yu got out of bed, the drowsiness on his face gone, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

The bounty for killing the "Flooding Lake's Three Evils" was not small.

He opened the door.

Chen Ying 'er had a mischievous smile on her face as she looked at Chen Yu, who was hastily washing up.

"You, what are you doing?"

Chen Yu revealed a hint of caution. This girl, could it be that she wanted something from him?

He knew that Chen Yinger was very tempted by the quasi Artifact on the bounty.

"Hehe! I'm here to tell you about good news … "

Chen Ying 'er said mysteriously.

"Good news? Is it the bounty from the mayor's office? "

Chen Yu finished washing up and tidied up his clothes.

"The reward belongs to you in the first place!" Chen Yinger said snappily, "It's a joyous occasion. Naturally, it's an important event in your life."

Life? What's going on?

Chen Yu's gaze froze, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"My dad and the others have arranged a marriage for you! The other daughter of the mayor, Chu Fengyun. Isn't this good news? Shouldn't you be ecstatic and give me that quasi treasure …? "

Chen Ying 'er's face was red, the more she spoke, the more excited she became.

Marriage! Chu Fengyun's daughter?

Chen Yu felt like he was struck by lightning, he almost swayed on the spot.

He instinctively rejected marriage, but when Chu Fengyun's daughter was mentioned, he inexplicably thought of the daughter of the evil spirit.

"Hey! What's with your reaction? I've seen Chu Fengyun's real daughter before. She's as beautiful as a flower and as beautiful as the moon. She's definitely not the daughter of that fiend … "

Chen Ying'er tried her best to hold back the smile on her face, revealing her true nature of teasing.

However, Chen Yu's expression did not look too good.

He was someone who had a firm foothold in the Sect and yearned for the pinnacle of martial arts.

Marriage was an important matter, how could the family decide on their own?

Chen Ying'er, on the other hand, looked as if she was watching a good show and wished for the world to be in chaos.

After a long while.

Chen Yu blurted out, "Let's talk about the same thing. No matter what, let's collect the bounty first. "

Chen Ying'er almost choked.

At this moment, Chen Yu already had a plan in mind.

He had to take all the benefits that he deserved first. As for the marriage, it didn't matter whether it was a negotiation or a falling out.

Not long after.

Chen Yu and Chen Yu walked into a large guest hall.

Inside the guest hall sat the city lord Chu Fengyun, the family lord Chen Tianwei, Chen's Father, Chen's Mom, and a few elders.

"Yu, you're finally here."

The family lord, Chen Tianwei, had a smile on his face. His attitude towards Chen Yu had changed greatly.

Chen Yu could vaguely see that this change was not only because of his achievements in killing the fiend, but also because of another reason.

"Young hero Chen, I'm here to deliver the bounty as promised."

Chu Fengyun smiled kindly.

Even though he didn't have a good impression of these two, Chen Yu still greeted them.

"Young hero Chen, this is the bounty you deserve."

Chu Fengyun didn't say any more pleasantries. He took out a long wooden box and handed it to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu's eyes lit up as he took the box.

When the box was opened, the first thing that was revealed was an exquisitely crafted dagger.

The dagger's hilt was decorated with ancient bronze patterns. The sword's blade was as smooth as a mirror, as if it was made by nature. The edge of the blade was emitting a cold light.

"This is the pseudo-treasure weapon?"

Chen Yu curiously picked up the sword.

Immediately, a clear sound of the wind echoed around the blade.

Holding the sword, Chen Yu felt an indescribable sense of lightness. This was definitely not something an ordinary weapon could bring.

"This sword is called the 'Wind Chant Sword'. Its quality is close to a treasure weapon, and it is one of the most famous swords in the mortal world. This sword's sharpness is comparable to a real treasure weapon. It can cut through iron like mud. There are other characteristics, young hero will know after you try it … "

Chu Fengyun smiled.

Obviously, he was very confident in the quality of this sword.

"Cut through iron like mud? Hehe, let me try … "

Chen Ying 'er took out a fine broadsword from nowhere and slashed at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu smiled and met the attack with the 'Wind Chant Sword'.

Ding!

The heavy broadsword on his back was directly cut into two by Feng Yin's dagger.

"Ah no! That's my Male Tiger Saber … "

Master Chen Tianwei reacted and couldn't help but cry out. His face was full of pain.

It turned out that the broadsword that Chen Ying 'er casually picked up was the Male Tiger Saber that had followed the master for many years.

This saber was a rare fine weapon in the mortal world.

However, in front of the incomparably sharp 'Wind Chant Sword', it was actually cut in half.

What a sharp sword!

Chen Ying 'er's eyes were filled with love as she played with the Wind Chant Sword.

"Not bad."

Chen Yu was satisfied. In terms of sharpness, the 'Wind Chant Sword' was even better than Yuefeng's broken sword.

Other than the 'Wind Chant Sword', there were two other items in the box.

One was a land deed, and the other was a gold note.

The land deed represented a piece of fertile land on the outskirts of Xiangyang City, which was equivalent to the territory of a small village.

The gold note was worth ten thousand gold.

The appearance of these two items caused the eyes of the elders present to light up, and they were extremely moved.

Even the patriarch, Chen Tianwei, seemed to be tempted.

"This ten thousand gold was paid by my ancestors on behalf of the imperial court."

Chu Feng Yun explained.

Chen Yu was satisfied. He put away the land deed and the gold note, and put away the 'Wind Chant Sword' that Chen Ying 'er was reluctant to part with.

After giving out the reward.

Chu Feng didn't stay any longer and left first.

…

"Yu, what are you going to do with that piece of land?"

Chen Tianwei, the patriarch of the Chen Clan, asked.

He was very tempted by the land deed. It could expand his territory and consolidate the strength of the family.

"I plan to use the ten thousand gold and the land deed to build a manor for myself. Uncle, Ying Er, you can come to my manor in the future. "

Chen Yu didn't hide his purpose.

Hearing this.

The master and the other elders showed disappointment and dissatisfaction on their faces.

But the current Chen Yu had established a foothold in the Sect. His strength wasn't ordinary, so they couldn't force him.

"I heard from Ying 'er that uncle has arranged a marriage for me. I wonder if this is true?"

Chen Yu changed the topic and said in a displeased tone.

The atmosphere in the main hall was heavy.

Master Chen Tianwei's face was a bit embarrassed.

First, Chen Yu's tone was not friendly. Second, this marriage was indeed not approved by the other party.

"Yu! This marriage was approved by my mother. Don't blame your uncle. "

Chen Mom Liu Zhai suddenly interrupted.

Mother?

Chen Yu was speechless.

As the saying goes, 'Parents' orders, matchmaker's words'. According to the rules of the world, parents could usually decide the marriage of their children.

"Yu, I've seen the portrait of Mayor Chu's daughter. She's definitely a beautiful woman, she's a good match for you."

Chen Mom Liu Zhai comforted him in a soft voice.

Swish!

Then, she took out a scroll and slowly unfolded it.

"Huh? This is … "

Chen Yu took a closer look at the painting. On the painting, there was a graceful and graceful girl. Her eyebrows were long enough to reach her temples, and her eyes were like stars. She had a sweet smile on her face, and the pure beauty in the painting could make one's heart beat faster.

Just by looking at the portrait, this girl's appearance was not inferior to Mu Xueqing at all. She even had a different charm.

"Hehe, Brother Yu should change his mind after seeing the portrait. Chu Wanyu is a disciple of the Shuiyue Sect. "

Chen Ying 'er curled her lips and said with a slight disdain.

"Ahem."

Chen Yu couldn't deny that this girl was a little tempting just by looking at the portrait.

"Yu."

Seeing that he was tempted, Chen Tianwei clapped his hands and smiled. "You've seen this girl's appearance. She and Mayor Chu both come from one of the largest clans in the Chu Country. If you marry her, it'll be a great benefit to the Chen family. "

Marriage between large clans?

Chen Yu finally understood. All of this was for the benefit of the family.

"Son, Miss Chu is only one year older than you. She's in the Shuiyue Sect. She's a half-spiritual body like you, but with the help of the family's resources, she's already in the middle stage of the Illuminating Pulse Realm. Regardless of background, appearance, or talent, she's more than a match for you. "

Chen Mom said with a smile.

Obviously, she was very satisfied with this marriage.

Chen Yu was secretly surprised. Why did Chu Fengyun like him and was willing to marry his daughter to him?

Speaking of Chu Fengyun, although Chen Yu didn't have a good impression of him, in terms of intelligence and scheming, he was a man with far-reaching plans. Even the cunning Great Evil Spirit had suffered losses in his hands.

"Even so, Yu can't agree to this marriage rashly."

Chen Yu shook his head.

After establishing himself in the world of the Sect, his horizons had been greatly broadened, and he wholeheartedly yearned to reach the peak of martial arts.

Once, because of Mu Xueqing, he almost missed the best time to cultivate.

He wouldn't make the same mistake twice!

A girl he had never seen before, even if she was as beautiful as a fairy, Chen Yu couldn't marry her so easily!

What!

You won't agree?

The expressions of the elders present, including Chen Tianwei, stiffened. The atmosphere once again became oppressive.

Especially the patriarch, Chen Tianwei, his face was a little displeased.

To be able to marry a large clan like the Chu family, this was a good thing for the Chen family.

But Chen Yu, this junior, actually rejected it?

He actually rejected it?

Such a beautiful girl from a prominent family, and they were both in the world of the Sect. Wasn't it a perfect match?

"Can't you make a small sacrifice for the family? Not to mention that Chu Wanyu is a good match for you, she's definitely … "

Chen Tianwei took a deep breath, a hint of sternness on his face.

"I can't."

The young man's simple answer made Chen Tianwei's face turn red.

"You … Fine, fine, fine! You think you've grown wings, and you don't care about the family at all. "

Chen Tianwei didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed.

At this moment.

The elders present, including Chen's Father and Chen's Mom, looked at Chen Yu with disappointment and pity.

"I'm focused on martial arts, and I still need to become an inner disciple. I don't have the time to care about this girl's marriage."

Chen Yu said indifferently.

Then, he turned around and left the hall.

"Pfft! You want to become an inner disciple with your talent? "

"This kid really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

The elders looked unfriendly, extremely dissatisfied with Chen Yu's behavior.

But when these words fell into the ears of Chen's Father and Chen's Mom, they felt a little uncomfortable.

"Why can't I, Yu, enter the inner disciple? Didn't you guys say the same thing before? But now, he has a foothold in the outer disciple. "

Chen's Mom said indignantly.

"Hmph! If he can become an inner disciple, I'm willing to beg for forgiveness from you. "

A white-bearded elder said disdainfully.

The elders present sneered. Without the help of the family's resources, it would be harder for Chen Yu to improve further!
