Protect Our Patriarch

…

Wang Shouzhe was still thinking about it, thinking in his heart how to clean up the big girl when Lici came back.

On the other side, Wang Liyao hurriedly jumped out of the round field, diverting everyone's attention.

On behalf of the Longzuo Zifu Academy, she presented a congratulatory gift—a medium-sized high-grade spiritual vein sealed in a spiritual orb.

In fact, generally speaking, the marriage of aristocratic families is not about the academy, and there is no need to send gifts. However, the Longzuo Academy has cooperated closely with the Wang family over the years, and the two sides have a harmonious relationship, and they have made a lot of money. Secondly, it was also the two small princesses who got married this time. Based on the relationship between the Lingyun Holy Land and the Dagan royal family, it is normal for Xuegong to express it.

As for Wang Liyao, since she was promoted to the Zifu realm more than ten years ago, she was arranged to go to the foreign battlefield to experience it.

After some meritorious deeds, he was granted the title of "Master Xuan Yao" by the court, and then formally took over the management of Longzuo Academy. Now he has the majesty of the lord of the Academy.

Taking this opportunity, Luo Qiu and Luo Jing also presented their elder gifts. Although they are not as eye-catching as Wang Lici's Dragon Leg and Dragon Whip, they are also carefully selected and valuable.

All the relatives present were full of emotion and honor.

Thinking back then, they all watched these children grow up little by little from babbling. As a result, in the blink of an eye, the little dolls of that year have grown into big figures on the megaphone side.

Li Yao didn’t say anything, the acting dean of the Longzuo Academy, this is a big figure like a great official in the frontiers. Although Luojing and Luoqiu are slightly inferior, they are already well-known powerhouses. In Longzuo County, Even the entire Dagan has gained a huge reputation. Within the Longzuo Academy, his status is now second only to the palm master of the Zifu realm.

When they successfully promoted to the Purple Mansion Realm, they will have the qualifications to open their own lines. At that time, whether you are leaving the Longzuo Academy and going to other academies to open a single line, or staying in the Longzuo Academy and waiting for the position of the inheritor, or going to the Lingyun Holy Land for further study, the future will be very promising.

Seeing these children getting more and more prosperous, how can they not be with You Rongyan?

The ancestors of the Wang Clan of Monan are the most proud of everyone. Li Yao's strength can also be attributed to their Monan Wang clan. It also made the current Monan Wang Clan follow along, and because of this, he has a lot of cooperation with the Changning Wang Clan and made a lot of money.

On the other side, the relatives of the Chen family and Gongye family felt heavy pressure.

As a family that has developed for thousands of years, they were originally full of confidence and made up their minds to take the lead in this link and support their children.

Unexpectedly, the Qian’s first shot was 20 million...That’s fine, after all, it’s just money. There are so many good things in this world that even if there is money, there is no place to buy good things, but then, Dagan Wang took it out. [ Magical Xuanyuan Shield Talisman].

Treasures of this level, even for the third-rank family, are definitely good things at the bottom of the box.

Dagan Wang really has lost his blood!

You are the main line, and you are not married with your own children. What are you doing here? !

The relatives of the Chen family and the Gongye family were full of grievances, but fortunately, they had prepared good things themselves, and they were able to hold back.

In the end, who knows, before they can take action, here are the water-repelling orbs, the dragon-legged dragon-whip, and the high-grade spirit vein.

Forget about Wang Liyao, they are at least a little bit powerful about her, but an aunt who traveled out, actually shot the dragon-legged dragon whip of the eighth-order green dragon, and her arrogance was comparable to the grand prince of the third-class family.

Is this reasonable?

Is this Changning Wang family really a family that has only developed for more than two hundred years? People in this family are too perverted, right?

The people of Gongye and Chen are a little messy.

After the mess, there was a strong sense of crisis. In this case, if they don't come up with something really good, wouldn't they be looked down upon?

Everyone in the Chen family looked at each other, and at the moment, Chen Jinglong, the great arrogant of the Chen family, stood up on behalf of the Chen family.

He took out a small and exquisite orange-yellow bell and solemnly handed it to Wang Anye: "This is a secret treasure excavated from a relic of the Shenwu dynasty. It is called the'soul guard bell'. It can protect the soul and save the owner. Because of being confused by the illusion and the magic cultivation technique, keep your mind sober. With it, even with the great supernatural powers of the supernatural power realm, it will be difficult to confuse you."

"In addition, if the cultivation base reaches the supernatural power realm, even if the physical body falls, there is it, it can ensure that the divine soul will not immediately collapse, although it cannot save its life, but it is better than the soul. If the luck is good enough, there may be a ray of life."

good stuff!

Wang Shouzhe's eyes lit up.

The divine spirit of the supernatural power realm is strong, but not every divine power realm power can retain the divine soul after the fall. Otherwise, after a long time, wouldn't the world be filled with remnants of souls?

Most of the people who can keep the souls rely on secret treasures or secret methods. According to ancient records, such secret treasures were extremely rare even during the Shenwu dynasty, and those that have survived to the present are even rarer.

Chen Jiaran was willing to take out this kind of secret treasure as a gift. It seems that he has really lost his blood~

Wang Anye also didn't expect that the Chen family would actually come up with such a treasure, and immediately took it respectfully: "Thank you, uncle."

The other people present were all elites of the family, and they were all knowledgeable. They were also surprised at the moment, and they all expressed their emotion that the Chen family had taken the initiative.

Seeing everyone behaving like this, Wu Xuening couldn't help but glanced at Wu Yiluo triumphantly.

Oops!

Wu Yiluo also frowned secretly and worried.

In this case, the comparison is the bottom line. If the things that Gongye clan waiting for the meeting were not as precious as the Chen clan, others would think that the Gongye clan's background was not as good as the Chen clan, or that her granddaughter's position in the Gongye clan was not as valued as Wu Xuening's.

This will affect her future family status.

It is a pity that she is not easy to speak at the moment, and there are too many supernatural powers around, it is inconvenient to even transmit sound.

While she was secretly anxious, her elder brother Wu Shengjun gave her a calm look.

At the same time, Gongye Jingyan, the representative of Gongye clan, stood up.

Gongye Jingyan is a handsome and stable young man.

He is the eldest brother of Wu Yiluo's mother, Gongye Qingrui, but because Gongye Qingrui was born late, he was much older than Gongye Qingrui, and he had taken over most of Gongye's industry a few years earlier. After Emperor Zi'an took over, he took over as the head of the Patriarch logically, and is now the person in charge of the Gongye clan.

Over the years, he has cooperated a lot on behalf of the Gongye clan with the Wang clan, and he has also visited Wu Yiluo in Wang Clan Studies. Both parties have long been old acquaintances.

He took out a storage ring and put it directly into Wang Anye's hands, explaining, "Anye, this is the spirit stone power freight flying boat of the Shenwu era recovered by uncle based on the remaining drawings excavated. This flying boat is against the spirit stone. It consumes a lot, but the load is huge. If it is used well, it can play a big role."

Perhaps it was his relationship as a refiner. He looked a little serious and spoke very rigorously. Finally, he did not forget to add: "In addition to a sample in this storage ring, there are also drawings and Gongye's use. Authorization letter. If Wang's own craftsman wants to research or improve it, he can do it at his own discretion."

Da Qian still values ​​the ownership of the refining drawings. Except for those excavated from the ruins, drawings like this kind of self-developed and completed drawings must be refined or modified only with the authorization of the developer.

The law of this aspect was gradually formulated and perfected by Gongye's vigorous promotion.

The meaning of Gongye Jingyan's remarks is equivalent to giving all the production authority and alteration authority of this flying boat to the Wang family. It is equivalent to adding an industry that can continuously generate benefits to the Wang family.

This is much better than simply giving away one thing.

Of course, if you insist on saying it, it is difficult to say which is stronger or weaker than the "soul bell". After all, they are completely different types of things and cannot be compared.

"Gongye really deserves to be a family of refining tools, and the strength is really strong."

Everyone present was also full of emotion, both at the weight of this gift and at Gongye's decisiveness.

You have to know that this kind of money-making thing is to be hidden as a treasure in any family. Gongye gave it as soon as he said it, which is enough to see that they value Wu Yiluo's niece.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Wu Yiluo's eyes suddenly showed a smile, her exquisite face bloomed, and an expression of honor. Uncle did not let himself down.

hateful!

Wu Xuening bit her lip angrily.

I couldn't overwhelm Wu Yiluo's stinky girl again!

It seems that the only way to win and lose can only be in accordance with what Legion Qi sister said.

But Ms. Legion Qi is right. Men like big ones, so I remember Luo's "small" body, so why compete with herself? Smelly girl, wait, she is set to win this time!

However, what everyone did not expect was that just when everyone thought that this link was about to pass, and was about to send the two brides into the wedding room, Wang Yingxuan, who represented Jiang Zhencang, the lord of Lingyun Holy Land, came to observe the ceremony, but said.

"Wait a minute, I also have a gift here, which I want to give to the three newcomers on behalf of my master."

Decades have passed, Wang Yingxuan is now more than fifty years old, and she has long been born into a bright, magnificent, graceful holy land fairy.

With the dedication of her master Jiang Zhencang, her aptitude has risen a lot from the original foundation. She was promoted to the Celestial and Human Realm as early as 20 years ago, and is now in the middle of the Celestial and Human Realm. Repair to.

In the Holy Land, her position is even more extraordinary. In these years, she has created a great reputation and is recognized as a strong contender for the heir of the Holy Land.

Although she is one year younger than An Ye, she is An Ye's aunt from a generational perspective. At this moment, it is natural to give gifts on behalf of Jiang Zhencang.

With that said, she took out a long wooden gift box full of mysterious inscriptions and handed it to Anye.

As the Lord of the Holy Land, Jiang Zhencang was theoretically An Ye's elder, but no one had expected him to give gifts before.

After all, this is the Lord of the Holy Land, one of the two great pillars of the great sky. Moreover, compared with the Great Emperor Longchang, who likes to make some noise when nothing is wrong, the Lord of the Holy Land is much more low-key, and he rarely shows up unless he is a direct disciple.

Before he entrusted Wang Yingxuan to congratulate him, everyone was already surprised, but they only thought that it was because of the royal family and Wang Yingxuan's face. Never thought he even prepared the elder gift.

This is really too long for Wang's face!

For a while, everyone was envious, but also very curious, what kind of gift this person gave.

However, when Anye was about to open the box, Wang Yingxuan reached out and held it down.

"This was taken by Master inadvertently when attending an auction in the Immortal Dynasty. He felt that it suits you well, so he gave it as a wedding gift. Master said first, this gift must be opened when there is no one. "Wang Yingxuan said solemnly, with a solemn tone.

Everyone was a little inexplicable for a while, and they didn't know what the Lord of the Holy Land was doing.

However, other people still don't know why, but Anye has already figured it out.

Because in his sleeve, the Seventh Sister of Legion Banner, who was shrunk to the size of a rag, was already shaking with excitement, and she kept urging in his ear: "Hurry up! Put it away! Be careful, lighten, don't touch, don't fall NS!"

"Anye, you really have to thank Jiang Zhencang for turning around. The old lady's flagpole has been lost for so many years, but he found it!"

Seventh sister was so excited that she was a little incoherent.

The breath in this box, others do not know, but she can't be more familiar. That was the other half she had lost for tens of thousands of years!

God knows how much the absence of the flagpole will affect her strength. When this flagpole is pressed, she will be a complete Taoist weapon. When the time comes, on the battlefield, isn't it necessary to kill the Quartet?

Wang Anye quickly and solemnly put away the box, and at the same time solemnly bowed to Wang Yingxuan, asking her to convey her gratitude to senior Jiang Zhencang.

Lao is as knowledgeable as he is, and I am a little excited at the moment.

After all, this is a Dao Qi!

At present, the whole work, except for the one in his hand, is only the "Canglong Sword" in the hands of your majesty grandfather.

On the other side, Wang Shouzhe and Emperor Longchang, who secretly ate melons, also noticed something was wrong, and quickly called Wang Yingxuan over to inquire about the situation in private.

Wang Yingxuan said about the situation.

In fact, since Anye got the Seventh Sister of the Legion Banner, her master began to secretly pay attention to the whereabouts of the flagpole.

After all, the complete legion flag and the legion flag with only one flag are not a concept at all. It is a matter of great national strength, and he is also very concerned.

Unfortunately, after losing so many years, the flagpole is not so easy to find, and after decades of searching, it has not fallen.

But not long ago, when he went to Xianchao to participate in the auction, he accidentally discovered this flagpole. He felt that it was probably something he had been looking for, so he took a picture and studied it, and found that it was indeed the 7th Legion. Flag pole with missing flag.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of this big wedding, it was a logical gift to Anye.

Jiang Zhencang didn't want anything else. In the future, if fewer people will fall on the outer battlefield, his money will be worth it.

After listening to this explanation, Wang Shouzhe looked at Wang Yingxuan and then at the Great Emperor Longchang. His eyes were a little weird, as if he was expressing that you, the Great Emperor, are not as good as other people's holy lord who care about the country.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Do you think I don't want to find a flagpole?" The Great Emperor Longchang almost didn't get **** off by him.

"Haha~" Wang Shouzhe secretly slandered in his heart, you just retire all day to eat, drink and have fun, and then Wang Shouzhe looked at the emperor again, and the holy lord gave gifts, so don't you give anything?

"What to look at? My two most precious pearls have been given to your family Wang Anye, and would you like me to give something more? Besides, I am a poor retired old man~~" Emperor Longchang rolled his eyes. In fact, he was already Ready for the elder's gift-a supreme purple mansion treasure.

It was just that Jiang Zhencang's flagpole jade was in front, so he was embarrassed to take it out, and after a while, he found an opportunity and secretly stuffed it to Anye.

The wedding continues on its own.

All Wang's elders also gave gifts.

Even the ancestors of Firefox, Wang Lixian, Wang Lilong, Wang Zongkun, Wang Yingzhen, Yuetu, Yuanshui Laogui, and the big tiger Huahua with a pair of wings all gave some gifts. Although gifts have different values, they are all heartfelt.

It's just that Yuanshui Laogui is very pleased, but Anye has been carrying him to school together since he was a child. Now he finally hopes that he is married. After Anye's children are born, his old tortoise will still carry the children to and from school.

It's just that Huahua is full of muttering in her heart, but Young Master An Ye said to help her find a wife, but as a result, his daughter-in-law hasn't been found yet. Young Master An Ye married two.

I spend flowers, when will there be a daughter-in-law?

The wedding banquet continued and time passed.

The night has enveloped the town of Ping An.

The guests gradually dispersed, and returned to their lodgings under the hospitality of the Wang clan or the steward or domestic servant.

Of course, if you don’t have enough food and drink, whether in Wang’s main house or nearby restaurants, there is a team of chefs on duty at twelve o’clock to prepare a table of new banquets at any time.

For wedding banquets, it is natural to be happy and enjoyable. Even the guests can stay here, even if they are a guest for a year and a half, Wang's family can afford it.

Of course, with the exception of Emperor Longchang, his old man had to spend six or seven million dry gold on food and drink a year. Our Wang family has a small business and can't afford it, so he still has to pay for the food out of his own pocket.

The bride and groom, who have been busy for many days, have returned to their new house.

The wedding house of the groom Anye is the old house of the Wang family's main house. These houses are still old houses built by Zhou Xuan's ancestors. After opening up the three well-located courtyards and refurbishing them, a large set of new houses with the main courtyard and two auxiliary courtyards was formed.

Although most of the houses maintain their original appearance, the interior is decorated with a lot of artificial materials, including hard furnishings of various wood materials and furniture, as well as soft furnishings that combine comfort.

The wedding bed was given by Lixian.

She controlled a red sandalwood spirit wood and allowed it to grow inside and outside of various templates, and finally grew out of a big bed. After a little trimming by the carpenter, the bed was covered with a bed and soft furnishings, and it became a whole luxurious big bed. bed.

Based on a unified "ideology and tactics".

The two brides, Wu Xuening and Wu Yiluo, went to the new house in the master bedroom by accident. They sat on the edge of the bed and waited quietly for the bridegroom.

As soon as Wang Anye entered the new house, he was shocked by the two brides.

Originally in accordance with the process and plan.

It was the two brides who went back to their yards, and then Wang Anye went to drink with them separately. As for who will follow first, Wang Anye thinks about it and thinks it can only be decided by the pros and cons of throwing dry gold.

On the front of the dry gold is the head of the blue dragon, and the reverse is the great Qian Longchang, and the specific year number, which means that this dry gold was cast in a certain year in Longchang. Of course, there are also various anti-counterfeiting patterns.

The currency preservation rate of rare metals is not low, and the purchasing power of a dry gold is not small. However, if it involves some high-end cultivation resources, it will often sell for a sky-high price.

There is no way, there are so many monks in this world, there are casual cultivators, families, and armies. As long as the resources that are beneficial to cultivation or fighting must be the scarce resources with a large gap, the price will be high if there are more monks and less meat.

When you reach the Heaven and Human Realm, Purple Mansion Realm, and Divine Passage Realm, the higher you go, the scarce resources there will be. Naturally, surprising prices are prone to appear.

This is not only as simple as increasing the supply, but also solving the price of cultivation resources. Once the increase in cultivation resources leads to a short-term price reduction, there will inevitably be more aristocratic children who want to become spiritual platforms, heavenly races. After creating a resource gap, prices will fluctuate upwards again.

Don't talk about it.

Wang Anye was holding a piece of dry gold in his hand and looked at the two brides, suddenly lost in confusion.

"Your husband should not be embarrassed." Wu Yiluo said softly, "The dry gold in your hand can be used to decide who to drink Heyu wine with first."

"Yes, no matter what the result is, we will listen to you." Wu Xuening has secretly tossed out [Jin Chan Bao San], according to Qi Jie, this kind of Bao San is colorless and tasteless, and has a strong stun effect. As long as it hasn't reached the Zifu Realm, it is difficult to resist.

Unless you take the antidote beforehand, you must be ignorant and sleepless until dawn.

As the antidote, it was naturally put in Hewu wine with Jinchan Baodan. By then, as long as Wu Yiluo falls asleep, she can be thrown to sleep in the vice yard.

After that, it was her happy wedding night between Wu Xuening and Anye. When she was the first to win Anye, she naturally distinguished herself from each other internally. This was the brilliant idea of ​​the Seventh Sister Legion Banner.

While Wu Xuening secretly poked at the preparation plan, Wu Yiluo also sprinkled Jin Chan Bao San, and naturally the idea was exactly the same as Wu Xuening's. No way, who made this plan come from Seventh Sister?

As for what they are going to do next, they will naturally be taught by their elders before they get married.

Wang Anye was greatly moved when he heard the words. Yiluo and Xue Ning were both very reasonable girls.

Immediately, he tossed the dry gold, which was the words Daqian Longchang. Therefore, I drank Hebu Jiu with Yi Luo first.

Afterwards, he and Xue Ning drank Hebu Jiu again.

Almost at the same time.

Outside the courtyard of Wang Anye's new house, a simple and thick sword, with a beautiful and crystal-like ice sword, and a gorgeous sword, are patrolling the yard.

The sword headed is naturally Wang Anye's saber [Years and Years]. Grandpa Ji Wuchen merged with the years and patrolled very seriously to prevent the youngsters from all walks of life from going to the wall to make trouble.

As for the crystal-like ice sword, it belongs to Wu Yiluo's family psychic treasure [Zhanxue], and the other beautiful sword is Wu Xuening's sword [Qingchengxue].

These are the magical treasures with spirits, and naturally they will not bring him/them to the bridal chamber on the wedding night. With Wang Anye's strength, there is still no way to block the perception of Qi Ling.

In addition to the three weapons, there are also [The Ring of Immeasurable Rings] and [The Flag of the Seventh Legion Legion] who have also been "pushed out". The two of them did not participate in the patrol, but were sulking outside the courtyard.

"Seventh sister, Anye is too much. This is typical of having a daughter-in-law and forgetting her sister." Wuliang Baojie complained, "We already belong to him physically and mentally, and we are not even allowed to participate in the bridal chamber."

"That's it, fortunately, we are still busy, worry about this and that for him." Seventh Sister of Legion Banner also grumbled, "If he can't, sister, I can still give some pointers on the side."

"Seventh Sister, you are really knowledgeable and understand everything."

"No way, I've lived too long, I haven't seen any scenes before."

"That's that, human beings, nothing has changed since ancient times."

"Yo, sister Wuliang, it sounds like your water is not shallow, hahaha~"

"It's just a little bit, it's incomparable to the water depth of Seventh Sister, giggle~"

"You two should be more reserved." Ji Wuchen flew by and criticized seriously, "Anye is still young, so don't bully him. You should also turn around so that the little rascals will not get into the new house. ."

After the criticism, Ji Wuchen went on patrolling with two sacred power spirit treasures in a serious manner.

"Cut, fake and serious." Legion Banner Seventh Sister snorted, "It's just a magical treasure, if it wasn't for Anye's face, the sister would not take care of him."

"Sister Seven is mighty."

At this moment.

In the distance, a faint spatial fluctuation seemed to want to penetrate the restriction of the new house. Ji Wuchen only heard a low voice: "You silver moon gray wolves, trying to sneak past under the old man's eyelids?"

Then, there was a sound of ping-pong, and the wailing of Da Lang Wu Niu, and the sound of expulsion.

At this moment.

Here is another wave of more obscure spatial fluctuations.

In the shadows, a big-headed fish no more than ten feet long, passed through the outer wall restriction, and quietly entered into the inner wall roots.

Regardless of his small size, the area of ​​space that can be covered is not small.

By his side, there was actually a group of young people and spirit beasts. The leader was a small and exquisite seven-tailed Firefox. She waved Fang Yao and said: "Wang Goro’s plan to adjust the tiger away from the mountain is very successful. Open, break through each."

Then those flying in the sky and crawling on the ground started rushing towards the new house.

The fastest runner turned out to be a tree. It was Wang Lixian's clone. She rushed and shouted: "Wang Anxin, Zhanxue is here, go and stop her."

"Wang Ansong, you babble to block the snow in Qingcheng."

"Ji Wuchen is here, Wang Zongkun, Wang Lilong, join hands~~~ I have a photo album, I will give it to you later~~"

As soon as someone attacked the new house, Legion Qi Seventh Sister and Wuliang Baojie also rushed over, preparing to join in the fun.

"Om!"

Just when Wang Lixian, Firefox ancestors, and a crowd of people rushed into the new house, a sword sound like a dragon roar suddenly sounded.

A large shield shrouded directly outside Anye's new house.

Before the shield, a sword exuding endless majesty was suspended in the air, and the voice shocked the audience: "The deity is here, and the various Xiaoxiaoxiaos are not quickly retreating."

"Canglong sword? Damn, it's too much." Firefox old ancestor Yuwen screamed with anger, "It's just the bridal chamber. Is it necessary to ask for a national road weapon out of town to protect it?"

"Seven sister, you are also a Taoist weapon." Wuliang Baojie said in a low voice, "Go and block the Canglong Sword, and I will tell you about it when I turn around."

"Don't tease me, okay? That's a killing weapon! I'm an auxiliary weapon on the battlefield, can it be the same?" Seventh Sister Legion Banner said helplessly, "Anye is too cruel. It really makes my sister sad."

Driven by the Canglong Sword, the "Xiao Xiaomen" from all walks of life soon dispersed as birds and beasts.

The whole courtyard was quiet for a while.

Everyone didn’t know. At this time, the three of them were already lying on the bed of spirit wood, and a small seedling grew from the foot of the bed. It entangled like a climbing plant. A tender leaf.

Then, the young leaves hurriedly retracted again, the scene was too...destroying the soul of a certain tree, nothing more, it's better to listen.

…

The next day.

The Sun Also Rises.

In Wang Anye's newlywed room, two women screamed suddenly: "Wu Xuening/Wu Yiluo, why are you here?"

Then, another shocked voice came from Wang Anye: "Yilao, Xue Ning, what is going on? How could we...could there be a problem with the wine?"

"No problem, no problem."

The two women denied it, and looked at each other in helplessness.

What happened last night, everyone's memory is very vague, all I know is that under the dry fire, the battle is extremely fierce. As for who is the first, who is the big and the water is small, where can we distinguish it?

It's nothing more, this matter cannot be let Anye know, UU read www.uukanshu.com from now on, take your time.

However, the feeling last night...really, it was crazy.

"Husband, I'll make breakfast for you."

"Husband, I will go too."

"Ouch." The two brides screamed and fell back to the bed.

"This... The two ladies are resting. Let the husband prepare breakfast today." Wang Anye was full of guilt.

"Husband, you are so kind."

"Well, my husband is so sweet."

Then, Wang Anye and the two little princesses lived a happy life together.
