Reborn Medicine King

3At this moment, the Zhang family's higher-ups were all looking at the Patriarch expectantly.     0

    

The Young Master had already visited their home more than once or twice. The upper echelons of the Zhang Family also clearly understood Zhang Rou's expression of love and admiration.    

    

What kind of status did the Luan Heaven Gate have in the Low Nine Heavens? It was one of the strongest sects in the world. Although the Zhang Family was a family of alchemists, it was nothing in front of the Luan Tian Sect. At the very least, the Medicine Hut of the Luan Heaven Sect was much stronger than theirs.    

    

If they did not rely on Myriad Herbs Valley and had the status of Great Elder of the Myriad Herbs Valley, the Gate of Heavenly Mystery would probably not even look at them directly, and they might never even have any interactions.    

    

And this time, the Great Elder had personally come with a betrothal gift as well as the Sect Leader's edict, showing his sincerity.    

    

This way, the Zhang Family would be considered to be affiliated with the two forces of Myriad Herbs Valley and the Gate of Heavenly Chaos, and their status would naturally rise greatly, not to mention that if Neptune were to become the Sect Leader in the future, the position of the Zhang Family would be even more different.    

    

They really couldn't think of any reason for the clan head to reject them.    

    

But from the looks of it, the Patriarch had a hesitant expression, and didn't have any intentions of agreeing to it.    

    

Zhang Rou was the pearl of his palm, and her talent in the dao of pills could be seen with the naked eye. She was also very obsessed with the dao of pills and her improvement speed was extremely fast, so her future achievements would definitely not be low.    

    

Besides, Zhang Rou had expressed her thoughts more than once. Moreover, her request for the other half was not her position. As a father, he was naturally clear about this.    

    

And because of this, he knew very well how Zhang Rou would resist if he agreed to the marriage here.    

    

However, as the master of the Zhang family, he knew very well what this marriage meant to the Zhang family. As the master of the Zhang family, he knew very well what this marriage meant to the Zhang family.    

    

After all, if they were to reject it, it would be equivalent to blaming the entire world for their reputation, and the consequences would not be something they could bear. Even if the Old Ancestor appeared, the Zhang Clan would probably be under the control of others in the future, which would not be a good thing for them.    

    

On one side was his daughter, and on the other was the Zhang Family. For a moment, he had a hard time making a decision.    

    

At this moment, one of the elders spoke up, "This is a big matter after all, and is related to the interests of both of us. The Great Elder of the Primordial Heavenly Gate must give our Patriarch some time to carefully consider."    

    

The Great Clan Elder's expression did not change, and directly said, "That's right, think it through. However, I have to remind you that if I still have more, before your Zhang Family agrees, we are not that close, and there is no need for me to flatter you. How about I give you ten minutes to think it over? It's definitely something that the other sects cannot take out. Also, you guys should know about the personality of that kid, Xiao Xing, his strength, and his talent, so there's no need for me to go up any further, right? "    

    

The Great Elder had only given them ten minutes to think about the situation.    

    

However, based on his position, he really did not need to put the Zhang Family in his eyes.    

    

Even though there were some experts in the Zhang Family, or even cultivators of the Mortal Separating Stage.    

    

However, compared to this Great Elder, his strength was much weaker. Even if everyone attacked together, they might not be able to do anything to him.    

    

If the Zhang Family agreed to this marriage, then everything would be easy to negotiate with them. If the negotiation collapsed, then there would be nothing left to talk about. However, at least they had offended this important figure, and the consequences were unpredictable.    

    

When the persuading elder heard this, a trace of displeasure flashed across his eyes, but he didn't express it out loud. He then transmitted his voice to the head of the family.    

    

"Patriarch, should we think of a way to delay the matter for a day or two? Let's pass the news to the ancestor, if he appears, we should give him some face."    

    

At this moment, the clan head was in a difficult position. Others might not understand the temperament of this Great Elder, but he understood it very well.    

    

This was definitely a fierce person with extremely powerful strength. Moreover, he spoke very straightforwardly and did things in such a manner. If they truly offended him here, then things would become extremely troublesome in the future.    

    

As for delaying him, while this method might be useful to others, it was completely useless against the person before him. He would only use force and not force them.    

    

Helpless, he could only give an explanation.    

    

"Since the elders have brought the Sect Leader's orders and also brought enough betrothal gifts, I naturally do not have any intention of refusing. First Elder, please go back and tell the Sect Leader that I will do my best to promote this marriage. "    

    

Hearing that, the Great Elder frowned, "Oh? You mean you can't be sure? Are you going to let me take the betrothal gift back? "    

    

"Of course not, I will accept the betrothal gift first. If there are any problems in the future, my Zhang family is willing to return double the price."    

    

Hearing this, the Great Elder felt a bit unhappy.    

    

"Do you know what the Sect Leader said before I arrived?"    

    

Although the Zhang Clan Head was under great pressure, he had no choice but to greet them with a smile, "I wonder what the Sect Leader has said?"    

    

"The woman his son has taken a fancy to must definitely be married into his family, no matter who it is. Do you think that my Lurker Heaven Gate cares about your compensation for that little betrothal gift? "    

    

The Zhang Family Patriarch's expression changed. The other party not giving them a way out was really going too far. No matter what, he was a family that was reliant on Myriad Herbs Valley, and the patriarch was even the Great Elder of Myriad Herbs Valley. He had a little temper.    

    

"My daughter is not someone who can be married off just because she wants to, she's the apple of my Zhang family's eye, and she will also join Myriad Herbs Valley in the future, becoming the disciple of our Zhang ancestor, which is also the Great Elder of the Myriad Herbs Valley. Although my daughter's status is not as great as Neptune's, she is not someone who has no other choice.    

    

The higher ups of the Zhang Family did not expect the Patriarch to have such a huge reaction. Although most of them were looking forward to this marriage, after the leader said this, they felt that they had been satisfied. This was something they had not thought of before.    

    

The Great Elder was also stunned. He had never expected that the Zhang Clan Head, who was much younger than him, would have such a backbone.    

    

The reason was simple, Myriad Herbs Valley did not belong to any kind of force, but their position in the Low Nine Heavens was frighteningly high, and the various sects were also very respectful towards them.    

    

Even though the Gate of Unholy Heaven did not care about a small Zhang family, they still had to treat Myriad Herbs Valley with respect.    

    

Although his cultivation level was not too high, he had quite a good talent in the Pill Dao. Back then, he was one of the main candidates to be the successor to the Myriad Herbs Valley, but no matter how one put it, he was not someone who could be easily bullied. At the very least, with the might of the Gate of Heavenly Chaos, he would not be able to suppress him at all, and would instead be counterattacked.    

    

However, he did not express his thoughts, but said, "Very good, the Zhang Clan Head indeed has some confidence. Since you insist, then I will give you some time to consider, and not waste too much of my time. Little Xing, you guys know very well what that girl is like. I don't understand why such a win-win proposal would be beneficial to everyone here, so why do you still have such an idea? But you should quickly consider it as there is a limit to my patience.    

    

After saying that, he did not continue to stay in the living room. Walking toward the door, he took half a step back to give the Zhang Clan a way out. This also eased the tense atmosphere in the living room.    

    

After that, the upper echelons began to argue. They were all thinking about this matter, but they were still unable to understand why their Patriarch would not help them.    

    

Not long after, a disciple ran in from outside and directly shouted, "Young Miss Zhang Rou has returned."    

    

This caused the argument in the living room to come to a halt, and everyone revealed a look of joy.    

    

The head of the family said directly, "It's the right time to come back, quickly let her come here."    

    

Hearing this, the disciple continued, "The young miss also brought back a tall man. He seems to be the one that came to make trouble for us a while ago!"    

    

At this moment, someone asked in surprise: "Are you talking about Qin Wuliang?"    

    

"Yes, it seems to be that Qin Wuliang. He used to come and harass Eldest Miss a lot of time ago."    

    

Hearing this, the clan head frowned.    

    

"Why would that child Xiao Rou be together with Qin Wuliang? Could it be that the news that came from the Myriad Herbs Valley is true? "    

    

A few of the higher ups revealed a puzzled look, and someone asked: "What news have the Myriad Herbs Valley sent over?"    

    

The disciples that we sent have basically all returned, and from what they said, Qin Wuliang's dao of pills is very magical, far surpassing cultivators of the same age and completely not on the same level. It's impossible to compare, even Xiao Rou is definitely not his opponent.    

    

Hearing this, the upper echelons all revealed shocked expressions.    

    

"How is this possible? That brat, Qin Wuliang, knows how to refine medicine? Can't we see what he's capable of? "He is indeed a genius cultivator, and his abilities are not bad. However, you all know about the Broken Vein Sect's techniques, and the repercussions are obvious. It's already strange that he doesn't keep treating the illness, so how could he have the time to study the path of alchemy?"    

    

While everyone was still confused, Zhang Rou was already walking over with Qin Wuliang. Qin Wuliang had obviously specially dressed up, and the tall Zhang Rou looked very small in front of him. At this moment, Zhang Rou's face was full of smiles.    

    

This was something that the higher-ups present did not expect.    

    

The Patriarch directly asked, "You've returned. It looks like you've reaped a huge harvest. Otherwise, why would you be so happy? Father, let me guess... Has the ancestor decided to take you in as his disciple? "    

    

Zhang Rou very straightforwardly shook her head. "Of course not. I've become stronger."    

    

The clan head's brows twitched, "You can't be talking about the person behind you, right?"    

    

Zhang Rou shook her head to deny his guess, which also made the higher-ups at the scene to let out a sigh of relief. Although they didn't know why they came back together, as long as Qin Wuliang didn't have any extraordinary pill dao, it would be fine.    

    

"Why are all the elders here today? Are they researching about some big matter?" Zhang Rou asked.    

    

Without waiting for the Patriarch to speak, one of them directly said, "The Great Elder of the Hunchback Heaven Sect has already proposed for the Sect Leader. Xiao Rou, what do you think about that kid, Neptune?"    

    

The moment he finished, Qin Wuliang's expression changed.    

    

"I don't agree!"
