Chapter 536 Qi Baoyi marries into the Chen family
Chen Ling had already thought of an explanation for his relationship with Qi Baoyi.
He hurriedly whispered to Wan An, "My father-in-law, the main reason for my marriage with Baoyi is to deal with the Golden Eye Spirit Clan."
"You also know that my Xiyong Immortal City has just been established and is weak."
"Now that the Golden Eye Spirit Clan has invaded Canglan Country, if my Xiyong City does not form an alliance with other immortal cities, it will be easily conquered by the Golden Eye Spirit Clan!"
"By then, millions of people in my Xiyong Immortal City will be destroyed."
Chen Ling looked cautious and spoke in a sad tone.
He did not expect Qi Baoyi to announce their marriage without asking him.
It caught him off guard.
But let's announce it.
Anyway, the Wan family will know about this sooner or later.
It doesn't make much difference whether they know it earlier or later!
Wan An was a little surprised to hear Chen Ling say this, but as the head of the family, he also knew that Chen Ling was not easy.
Especially in this situation, the Golden Eye Spirit Clan may attack Xiyong City at any time.
After all, the position of Xiyong City is a bit precarious now.
According to Chen Ling's explanation, it seems that marrying Qi Baoyi is mainly for the purpose of forming an alliance with Wanjian Immortal City.
And looking at Qi Baoyi's expression, it seems that he also acquiesced.
Now, he understands Chen Ling in his heart.
However, he is still a little angry.
Such a big thing, he didn't even tell them in advance.
However, thinking that Chen Ling is famous for marrying and having children.
But how could Qi Baoyi like Chen Ling?
Yun'er likes Chen Ling, he feels that he can accept it.
But now his eldest daughter is the mayor of Wanjian Immortal City.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at his ancestor.
"Ling'er, you marry the mayor of Qi City for the sake of your own immortal city, which is understandable."
"However, if there are any risks in Xiyong City, my Wan family will naturally help you!"
Ancestor Wan's face also returned to calm, and he spoke lightly.
The look towards Chen Ling was not only without blame, but with a bit of appreciation.
You know, although Qi Baoyi is Wan'an's daughter, she has a deep entanglement with the Wan family because of her mother.
And her personal cultivation and ability are good.
She has developed too fast in recent years. If she continues to develop like this, it will not be long before she will pose a considerable threat to the Wan family.
Moreover, Qi Baoyi's style of doing things is decisive and fierce, and he has no feelings for the Wan family.
Once he becomes powerful, it will be a big trouble.
And Chen Ling, in her opinion, is a cautious and steady person.
Although there are rumors that he loves to marry, as the lord of the Immortal City, this is not a big deal.
On the contrary, in this way, Qi Baoyi will have Chen Ling to restrain him in the future.
And Yun'er has a child, and her status in the Chen family will definitely be higher than Qi Baoyi in the future.
Therefore, she not only does not oppose this marriage, but also fully agrees with it.
"Thank you, ancestor!"
Chen Ling hurriedly bowed.
I didn't expect that this matter would be fooled like this.
Originally, I was thinking about taking some time to explain it to them.
Wan An was also stunned. Originally, the ancestor was very disgusted with men marrying multiple wives.
So, he did not marry Qi Yuhe into the family at the beginning.
Of course, there were other reasons at that time.
But this time, the ancestor was so generous and had no intention of blaming Chen Ling.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his two daughters were going to become the wives of this kid!
However, the current situation is serious, and these children's private affairs should be solved by the three of them.
"Ling'er, I don't object to your marriage with the city lord, but next, whether we send troops to rescue Jinshan Immortal City or defend Wanjian Immortal City, this matter still needs to be discussed clearly!"
Wan An exhaled lightly and said seriously.
Naturally, he would not embarrass Chen Ling in this matter.
Besides, Chen Ling's conditions in all aspects are not bad.
Originally, he always felt guilty about Qi Baoyi.
Otherwise, he might not have lost to her in the competition ten years ago.
Moreover, without his secret support over the years, it would be impossible for Qi Baoyi to sit firmly on the position of city lord.
Now, Qi Baoyi is willing to marry Chen Ling, which can be regarded as making up for his inner debt.
So Chen Ling is also somewhat grateful in his heart.
As for Jin Laozu and Deng Laozu, they looked at Chen Ling with surprise and praise, and even a little envy.
It is not a big deal for a fairy city lord to have many wives and concubines, but even a female cultivator of Qi Baoyi's status is willing to take the initiative to marry, which makes people envious.
You know, now Qi Baoyi is not only the lord of Wanjian Fairy City, but also a seventh-level swordsmith, which is a high-level female cultivator that is hard to find even with a lantern.
"I am just informing you of the marriage of this city lord, not asking for your opinion."
"We will get married in three days."
"In addition, due to the invasion of Canglan Country by the Golden Eye Spirit Clan, the challenge of the city lord will be postponed for the time being!"
Qi Baoyi's beautiful eyes are deep, sweeping across the crowd, and said calmly.
After all, refining a seventh-level sword consumes a lot of energy, and it takes some time to recover.
If the Golden Eye Spirit Clan attacks the Wanjian Immortal City during this period, it will be dangerous.
The other three families naturally have no objection to postponing the competition.
After all, no one in the family can beat Qi Baoyi now.
They are eager to postpone it.
"City Lord, shall we send troops to Jinshan Immortal City, or shall we not send troops?"
Patriarch Jin asked in a deep voice.
Now that the three ancestors have not reached an agreement, Qi Baoyi's opinion becomes crucial.
Upon hearing this, Qi Baoyi glanced at Chen Ling and asked with a smile, "Chen Ling, what do you think?"
"I!"
Hearing this, Chen Ling couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Originally, this matter was a matter of Ten Thousand Swords Immortal City.
It was not his turn as an outsider to speak.
But as Qi Baoyi finished speaking, the eyes of the other four people all fell on him.
After all, among everyone present, Chen Ling was the only one who had actually fought against the seventh-level Golden Eyed Spirit Clan.
Although the other ancestors are not young, they have no experience fighting against the Golden Eyed Spirit Clan.
Chen Ling thought for a while and said, "The Immortal City of Ten Thousand Swords is good at making swords. Although Jinshan Immortal City is in crisis now."
"But with the current strength of the Golden Eyed Spirit Clan, even if the three ancestors all go there, they may not be able to save Jinshan Fairy City."
"It's better to use the magic circle to defend the Immortal City of Ten Thousand Swords."
"And the next war between the two sides will definitely last for a period of time, maybe ten years, or even a hundred years. Therefore, we in the Immortal City of Ten Thousand Swords might as well hold on to the city and provide more swords to other immortal cities in Canglan Kingdom."
If Ten Thousand Swords Immortal City refines one more sixth-level sword, the strength of other Immortal Cities will become stronger.
The people here are either seventh-level or sixth-level swordsmiths. If any one of them falls on the battlefield, it will be a big loss.
Moreover, Chen Ling also believed that with the strength of the three ancestors, there was no way they could deal with the late-seventh-level Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan.
"What City Lord Chen said is true!"
After hearing what Chen Ling said, Patriarch Jin was the first to agree.
Ancestor Wan frowned slightly, but thinking about it, what Chen Ling said made some sense.
"Okay, then we won't send troops and concentrate on defending the city!"
Qi Baoyi said directly without waiting for Ancestor Wan to speak.
"Qin'er, send an order immediately. Immortal City strengthens its defenses and calls back all the monks who have gone out. Others, please don't leave Immortal City easily during this period!"
Qi Baoyi ordered again.
Obviously, she still trusted Chen Ling's words.
Rather than risk a life-or-death battle with the Golden-Eyed Spirit Tribe to save Jinshan Fairy City.
It is better to rely on the Immortal City's magic formation to defend it, and according to what Chen Ling said, forging swords for other Immortal City in the future will definitely be more effective.
Seeing that the other two ancestors had no objections, Wan Ancestor could only accept it.
Originally, she wanted to use the Jinshan Fairy City to defeat the Golden Eyed Spirit Clan in one fell swoop, but no one else supported her.
Then it is naturally impossible for their Wan family to send troops.
"In the future, we will ask the three ancestors to sort out the sword formations in Ten Thousand Swords Immortal City, but don't let something go wrong at the critical moment!"
Qi Baoyi glanced at the three ancestors and said lightly.
Although she has been the lord of the Immortal City of Ten Thousand Swords for ten years, she has only mastered the blessed land of the Immortal City.
The sword array is still in the hands of the three ancestors.
And it requires the three of them to work together to mobilize.
This is one of the reasons why the three of them have been able to maintain cooperation over the years.
If any family is destroyed, the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal City Sword Formation will not be able to be opened.
Once other immortal cities or foreign races attack the Immortal City of Ten Thousand Swords, there will be considerable danger.
This was also the wisdom of the three ancestors who founded Fairy City.
This prevented the three families from fighting each other for the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal City in the long years to come.
"This is natural!"
Ancestor Jin nodded.
Then the three ancestors discussed the situation of the sword formation.
"Chen Ling, you must prepare the betrothal gift."
"When the time comes, we will hold a banquet in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion!"
Qi Baoyi ignored the three ancestors and discussed marriage with Chen Ling.
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Chen Ling nodded and said.
"But who should we ask to be the officiant?"
Seeing Wan An listening carefully, Chen Ling couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Do you still want to invite the officiant?"
Qi Baoyi couldn't help but ask.
This was her first time getting married.
Due to her personality, she had never attended other people's wedding banquets before, so she really didn't know the specific situation.
"Of course I want this, otherwise how can we say that the matchmaker is getting married!"
Chen Ling said with a serious face.
Hearing what Chen Ling said was serious, Qi Baoyi suddenly felt that this should be done.
Then he asked Chen Ling, "Do you have a suitable candidate for me?"
"Not just anyone can be the officiant, it's usually the elders of both Taoist couples!"
Chen Ling said with seriousness.
Hearing this, Qi Baoyi frowned slightly.
Her elders are not members of the Wan family.
Although she no longer has much hatred for Wan An, she doesn't want to have too much interaction with him.
I don't even want him to be the person to marry me.
"Can't you invite others?"
Qi Baoyi glanced at Wan An slightly, and saw that Wan An was smiling, and his expression also changed.
"cannot!"
Chen Ling shook his head, "The so-called marriage between a clear matchmaker and a true matchmaker means that one must be honest and honorable."
Hearing this, Qi Baoyi couldn't help but frown, and couldn't help but feel entangled in his heart.
As the Lord of Immortal City, she naturally understands the importance of being honest.
If it were just an ordinary monk, there wouldn't be a big problem.
But the Lord of Immortal City is protected by the luck of heaven and earth in this realm.
Likewise, his family members will also receive luck blessings.
If I marry Chen Ling, it is not legitimate, then I will be a concubine.
It is completely different with the blessing of heaven and earth.
So she can't be careless about these procedures.
Chen Ling saw that Qi Baoyi had wavered, and immediately said, "Why don't we let my father-in-law be the master of the wedding?"
"Father-in-law, what do you think?" Without waiting for Qi Baoyi to answer, Chen Ling asked Wan An again.
This father-in-law is also a double entendre.
Although Chen Ling didn't know the specific conflict between Qi Baoyi and Wan An.
But after all, they are all family.
And next, the Golden Eye Spirit Clan invaded, and the situation was not optimistic. It was better to unite.
"Of course, I have no objection to this!" Wan An nodded.
In his heart, he praised Chen Ling for doing a good job, and it was worth it for both of his daughters to marry him.
Over the years, his guilt towards Qi Baoyi has also been a big problem for him!
Now he can be the master of his daughter's wedding, and he is also very excited.
But knowing that his daughter might not agree, he did not dare to show too much joy.
Qi Baoyi's eyes turned, and he said helplessly, "Okay, Ling Lang will decide this matter!"
After that, he stood up and left the hall.
It seemed that he was expressing his dissatisfaction with Wan An!
"Ling'er, you must be nice to Baoyi and Yun'er in the future, otherwise, I will be rude to you!"
Seeing Qi Baoyi agree, Wan An also patted Chen Ling's shoulder with a happy face.
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I Chen Ling treats my wife well, and that is well-known!"
Chen Ling said with a smile.
"There is also this matter, I have to trouble you to talk to Yun'er for me!"
"You won't say it yourself!" Wan An immediately refused.
What is his position in his daughter's heart, how could he not know himself.
Chen Ling showed helplessness on his face, Wan An could not be counted on.
"Congratulations to City Lord Chen and City Lord Qi on their happy marriage!"
"Congratulations to City Lord Chen and City Lord Qi on their happy marriage!"
After discussing with Patriarch Wan, the two ancestors Jin and Deng bowed to Chen Ling and congratulated him.
Although Chen Ling was their junior, they were extremely polite because he was the lord of the Immortal City.
"Thank you, two ancestors!"
Chen Ling also bowed in return.
Then everyone left the City Lord's Mansion.
······.
Three days later, the entire Wanjian Immortal City was filled with joy, with lights and decorations everywhere.
Today is the day of the great wedding of Qi Baoyi, the lord of the Immortal City, and Chen Ling, the lord of Xiyong City.
All walks of life in Wanjian Immortal City have three days off.
On this day, Chen Ling also woke up early.
Dressed up by two women from the Wan family, he wore a red robe and a gorgeous groom's suit, rode a small golden dragon, and went to the City Lord's Mansion.
Although it was a wedding, Qi Baoyi was unwilling to step into the Wan family.
So Chen Ling's bridal chamber was naturally placed in the City Lord's Mansion.
After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Qi Baoyi, who was wearing a red wedding dress and a phoenix crown, took the golden dragon.
Then the two sat on the back of the little golden dragon and circled the inner city of Wanjian Xiancheng.
The streets of the inner city were densely packed with monks and people from Wanjian Xiancheng. People were in high spirits, beating gongs and drums, setting off firecrackers, and sending the best wishes to their city lord.
