Chapter 92

In Song Mansion.

Song Yiren heard that Jiang Ziya was a lower grand official and was also rewarded with a house in the city.

Slightly stunned, full of disbelief.

"Ziya, you said you are a lower grand official now?"

Jiang Ziya nodded: "Yes, elder brother, when I went down the mountain, I found that the princes everywhere were rebelling, and there were many demons mixed in, doing evil. Thinking that although I have not yet achieved the immortal path, I have learned the Dao on Kunlun Mountain for forty years, it is no problem to deal with a few small demons and monsters."

"Who knew I would meet Grand Preceptor Wen, and at the invitation of Grand Preceptor Wen, I assisted the Grand Preceptor in pacifying the rebellion, eliminating demons, and returning to Chaoge together, and was appointed as a lower grand official by the Great King, and was also rewarded with a house."

Song Yiren couldn't help but sigh: "Ziya, you went to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate for forty years. I was worried that you would have no means of making a living. You can be a lower grand official, and the second half of the year will be guaranteed, so elder brother is relieved."

Jiang Ziya had been observing Song Yiren. Except for being young, he couldn't see any abnormality. His speech, demeanor, and tone were all the same as the elder brother in his memory.

"Many thanks for elder brother's concern. I wonder how you have been all these years?"

Song Yiren sighed slightly: "In the years you were away, elder brother's life was considered stable, but there have been constant disturbances in recent years, and business is difficult to do, but fortunately, I earned quite a bit in the first half of my life, enough for several generations to live without worry."

Jiang Ziya said respectfully: "I am relieved to know that elder brother has been so smooth during the time I went to Kunlun Mountain to learn the Dao."

Suddenly, Song Yiren changed the subject: "Don't talk about me, Ziya, I wonder if you have been married all these years?"

"Elder brother, I have been learning the Dao on Kunlun Mountain all these years, and I have just gone down the mountain now. How could I be married?"

Song Yiren looked at Jiang Ziya with a full face of smiles.

"That's just right, Ziya. The so-called 'there are three unfilial things, and having no descendants is the greatest'. You have such achievements now, so this lifelong event should also be considered. Tomorrow, elder brother will find you a good marriage, and you can give birth to a son or daughter for the Jiang family, so that you can leave a descendant for the Jiang family."

Jiang Ziya was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Song Yiren to introduce him to a marriage.

"Elder brother, I am seventy-four years old, how can I get married?"

"What does it matter if you are seventy-four? You are a person of the Dao, and your physique is different from ordinary people. Just listen to elder brother on this matter."

The next day.

Song Yiren really introduced a marriage to Jiang Ziya.

It was the daughter of Ma Yuanwai, Ma Shi, who was sixty-eight years old this year.

Jiang Ziya thought that Song Yiren would at least introduce him to a young wife, but he introduced him to a sixty-eight-year-old one. For a moment, he thought he had misheard.

He refused decisively and was scolded by Song Yiren, saying that he was an old cow who wanted to eat tender grass.

But Jiang Ziya's attitude was very firm, and he wouldn't marry no matter what. He left the Song family and returned to his mansion.

Jiang Ziya was still brooding over today's incident and frowned.

"Didn't he tell me that there are three unfilial things, and having no descendants is the greatest, and let me leave a descendant for the Jiang family? What does it mean to introduce an old woman to me? Can a sixty-eight-year-old still give birth to a child?"

Gu Xiu observed outside for a while.

It seems that due to his intervention, this marriage of Jiang Ziya might fail.

"Currently, this link of Jiang Ziya has no problem for the time being, leaving only the Jade Pipa Spirit as an uncertain factor."

Thinking, Gu Xiu entered the imperial palace.

In the inner court of the imperial palace, Su Daji and the Jade Pipa Spirit were chatting in the bedroom.

Suddenly, the Jade Pipa Spirit remembered the incident in the market.

"By the way, sister, do you know anyone special here in Chaoge?"

"Special person?" Doubt appeared in Su Daji's eyes: "What do you mean by that, sister?"

The Jade Pipa Spirit told what happened in the market.

Su Daji frowned slightly. After listening to the description, she roughly determined that it was Gu Xiu.

"Sister, are you sure what you said is true?"

Seeing Su Daji's face slightly condensed, her charming face covered with dark clouds, and her face uncertain, the Jade Pipa Spirit saw this and couldn't help but coquettishly: "Sister, how dare I lie to you, sister? That person is so handsome, and he even asked me to say hello to you. Sister, are you afraid that I will snatch someone from you?"

"Sister, don't talk nonsense." Su Daji frowned tightly, her expression serious: "If what you said is true, the Immortal is someone beside Nuwa Niangniang. He came here, there must be something important."

"Someone beside Nuwa Niangniang?" The Jade Pipa Spirit was at a loss.

"Yes, when Nuwa Niangniang summoned us to the Wa Palace, he was also there. Although his appearance changed a lot later and became more handsome, sister, you should have seen him." Su Daji's gaze carried memories, and she said slowly.

The Jade Pipa Spirit was embarrassed.

"Sister, when Nuwa Niangniang suddenly summoned us, sister was scared to death and didn't even dare to raise her head, and didn't dare to look around. She didn't know who the person beside Nuwa Niangniang was at all."

Su Daji looked at the Jade Pipa Spirit helplessly and sighed lightly: "Forget it, sister, you have always been timid, and this matter cannot be blamed on you, but if you see him again in the future, don't offend him."

"He is our noble person, promising that if we listen well, he will speak well of us in front of Nuwa Niangniang after the matter is done. At that time, our sisters will be able to achieve the right result and no longer be demons."

The Jade Pipa Spirit nodded repeatedly: "Sister, rest assured, if I see him in the future, I must please him well."

At this time, Gu Xiu suddenly appeared in the room, scaring the two of them until their faces turned pale.

"Daji, I have met the Immortal." Su Daji was the first to react, forcing herself to calm down, and bowed slightly to salute.

"Little demon, I have met the Immortal." The Jade Pipa Spirit also learned from Su Daji and bowed slightly.

Gu Xiu looked at the two, his eyes indifferent: "I came here this time because I have something to tell you."

Su Daji and the Jade Pipa Spirit heard this, looked at each other, and said coquettishly.

"Immortal, please order."

Gu Xiu said indifferently: "Among you Xuanyuan Tomb Three Demons, the fox demon has the highest cultivation, so the first person to enter the palace is the fox demon, so I am relieved."

"But the remaining Jade Pipa Spirit and Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit have too weak cultivation, and they can't even change into human form well, so they stayed in Xuanyuan Tomb to cultivate. Their demon nature is too heavy, and even you can't control your own nature, so I must control you. Wait until the Investiture of the Gods is over, or when you can control your demon nature, then release it."

Then, Gu Xiu took out the Demon Soul Contract Book and asked the Jade Pipa Spirit to sign the contract.

Following that, he went to Xuanyuan Tomb to let the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit also sign the demon soul contract.

Controlling the Jade Pipa Spirit and the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit is also equivalent to controlling Su Daji.
