PFC Chapter 373 Refuse to Promise
Chapter 373 Refuse to Promise
Seeing that there was no movement from the three sects, Lin Zhao put away the Phoenix Bone Sword and said, "In this case, the Phoenix Medicine Sect will be the first in this four-sect competition."
The head of the Phoenix Medicine Sect stood up and bowed to the heads of the three sects with a smile: "My brothers are so polite. As soon as our Phoenix Medicine Sect arrived here, you were so eager to send us treasures as a prize."
The faces of the three sect leaders were already very grim when they saw Lin Zhao defeat Tang Tianxiao. After hearing his words, they wanted to give this old man a punch.
After all, although it was meant to provoke the Phoenix Medicine Sect, in order to not tarnish the reputation of the sect, the prizes offered by each sect were not ordinary stuff. Even for their leaders, it was a bit painful to take them out.
Those are all good things in the sect!
Unexpectedly, when he came to challenge Lin Zhao, he hit a hard wall.
The news of the three major sects' defeat quickly spread throughout the Central Continent. Needless to say, what the situation was in the imperial capital, the reactions of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and Guangming Hall were the most intense.
The young man in white clothes, the Duke of Zhenguo, was watching the little girl dancing with a wooden sword under the crabapple tree in the courtyard. Thinking of the news he had received not long ago, his brows slowly furrowed.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" The little girl who practiced swordplay put down the wooden sword in her hand and walked towards him: "Are you thinking about mom? Mom said that she will be back in half a year."
The young man squatted down and touched his daughter's head. Looking at her similar eyebrows and eyes to Ji Wantang, he thought of the rumors outside and sighed.
"Mianmian, if your mother wins the imperial election, you will be the princess of the empire, but if your mother loses, dad will find a way to send you back to his family."
Mianmian looked at her father in surprise, because as far as she could remember, she had never heard her father say that her mother would fail.
"But mother won't lose, right?" Mianmian took out a handkerchief, her slightly crimson eyes showing the same pride as her mother Ji Wantang: "Mother has always been the best."
The young man looked at her and sighed: "Yes, your mother will not lose. But no matter what, Mianmian will be fine."
……
Phoenix Medicine Sect, Qing Jianfeng's meeting room.
Looking at the pink-dressed girl in front of her, Lin Zhao almost spit out a mouthful of water. "What did you say? Ji Wantang's daughter?"
Yun Fei nodded, "Yes, it's just that Ji Wantang's concubine used some blood of the grasshopper spirit beast to give birth to her own child."
Lin Zhao was stunned. Is there such a thing? "Born by a man?"
Yun Fei continued to nod: "This is not a rare thing in the world of cultivation. Among Taoist couples, most of them are male Taoist couples who take on the responsibility of childbearing. It depends on what the cultivator wants. Do you think that with Ji Wantang's personality, she will give birth on her own?"
Lin Zhao shook her head woodenly, and then she said uncertainly: "But, I also feel that Ji Wantang is not someone who has worldly desires."
Yun Fei paused for a moment, then looked at her meaningfully: "That's because you haven't seen the extremely beautiful women in her backyard. They are so stunning that men and women can't control themselves when they see them. If I were Ji Wantang, I would stay in the gentle land of the Zhenguo Mansion every day and never come out."
Lin Zhao: “…” If you were Ji Wantang, I wouldn’t feel so stressed.
"You said her daughter is already three years old?" Lin Zhao said as he took out the gifts he planned to give to everyone in the Phoenix Medicine Sect from his space ring.
After handing Yun Fei a beautiful pink spiritual crystal, Lin Zhao asked again, "And at the age of three, you were accepted as a personal disciple by the Spiritual Phoenix Palace?"
He was accepted as a disciple by a transcendent force at the age of three. Shouldn't he have not practiced at the age of three?
Lin Zhao had some dark speculations. Could it be that Ji Wantang had given her daughter a backdoor?
That's not right. Ji Wantang himself is the young master of Guangming Hall, which is one of the most powerful forces in Zuhuang Continent. If she really wants to find a backdoor for her daughter, she might as well bring her daughter directly to Guangming Hall.
"Do you also find it incredible?" Yun Fei blinked at her.
Lin Zhao took a sip of tea to calm herself down: "Even if that's the case, what does it have to do with me?"
Could it be that Ji Wantang's daughter, at the age of three and a half years old, was able to defeat herself in just half a year?
Yun Fei knew from her expression that she was thinking the wrong thing: "This means that the Zhenguo Mansion is trying to build momentum for Ji Wantang! They are trying to win over the forces that can be won over. Although the imperial election ultimately depends on personal strength, the sects still have to take a look. The Zhenguo Mansion and Guangming Hall want to unite with other forces to give you no chance to fight against Ji Wantang!"
Lin Zhao understood.
Yun Fei rubbed his hands: "Then do you want to move too? I'll go find my dad right away! My dad is waiting for you."
When Lin Zhao heard this, he remembered the agreement he had made with Prince Chi Ling and nodded immediately: "Thank you very much."
Yun Fei played with the pink spirit crystal in her hand and smiled slightly: "Okay, okay."
Yun Fei acted quickly, and since their Huangyao Sect was already in the Central Continent, Prince Chi Ling also arrived quickly.
The next afternoon, Lin Zhao and the head of the Phoenix Medicine Sect received the royal prince in the conference hall.
Chi Ling looked at Lin Zhao with complicated eyes, but more of it was admiration.
"I didn't expect the time you told me would come so soon. Moreover, you have already gone from the initial small excitement stage to the current late Nascent Soul stage. Judging from your cultivation level, it seems that you are about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"
Lin Zhao nodded and paused. “I don’t want to beat around the bush when I ask you to come here this time. I can now accept the proposal you made to me before.”
Chi Ling laughed: "If you agree now, can you let me see the sincerity of the young master of the Phoenix Medicine Sect?"
Lin Zhao raised her eyes and looked towards Chi Ling.
Chi Ling said: "To be honest, my useless nephew has deep feelings for Young Master Lin Zhao. If Young Master Lin Zhao is willing to form a good relationship with our royal family, the royal family will help Young Master Lin Zhao unconditionally."
Lin Zhao was stunned.
She thought for a long time before she remembered who Chi Ling's nephew was. She smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, please don't joke like that. Lin Zhao has no intention of getting married now."
Prince Chi Ling disagreed: "Ji Wantang has so many daughters, second sons and youngest sons, and you don't even have a man by your side. How can this be good?"
Lin Zhao touched his nose and smiled, "I don't particularly care about bloodline inheritance. As for a Taoist partner, I might consider it after I have sorted out all my problems."
The experience in Zuhuang Continent over the years has indeed changed some of Lin Zhao's ideas when he first came down from Yunding Mountain, but this does not mean that Lin Zhao has plans in that regard now.
At least, she still has an engagement with Qu Shu, and now she is involved in affairs with someone else. How is this called?
Prince Chiling looked a little unhappy: "You know that because of your refusal, the royal family will not support you."
