Chapter 549
Well, Shen Yuan has already looked at Liu Meng and said, "Liu lass, the things you love to eat, Qinghuang has already told your great-uncle me, and everything is ready."
As soon as she heard there was something she loved to eat! Liu Meng's eyes sparkled, "Thank you, great-uncle! I'll go take a look!"
"Go on, go with Qinghuang." Shen Yuan's eyes were about to overflow with affection.
Feng Yimo's complexion wasn't good, "What's with the going? Have you finished your sword training?"
"Master, don't worry, I'll accompany Liu Meng in sword practice." Shen Qinghuang interjected.
Feng Yimo: "?"
When did he newly take on such a big disciple! How could he not remember?
Before he could even object, Shen Qinghuang had already dropped to one knee before him.
"Master above, Shen clan's Qinghuang cherishes the disciple Liu Meng, and wishes for your fulfillment."
Having spoken those words with full vigor, Shen Qinghuang then directly kowtowed!
He just couldn't deal with Feng Yimo...
How could it be so direct?
What hurt him most was——
Liu Meng went "thud" and knelt down as well!
"Master above, the disciple also quite likes the little senior sister's elder brother, please grant your fulfillment."
Feng Yimo then had an inexplicable feeling: "My disciple isn't missing a string, isn't not enlightened? How did he end up joining in the mischief together?"
"Grand Elder, just go with the children." Shen Kuo could understand Feng Yimo's feelings, after all he too was an old father.
Feng Yimo actually wasn't opposed either, but Liu Meng had been sent to his doorstep since she was little, and he had watched her grow up all along.
Moreover, Liu Meng's father passed away early, leaving only her mother alive, so he had all the more been both teacher and father to her.
"Everyone get up first, what's this about? The elders are discussing marriage alliances, you kids have no part in it, go play." Shen Yuan stepped in front of the two youngsters, waving his hand behind them to shoo them away.
Shen Qinghuang still trusted his old father in such matters, after all he had been the family head for many years, so he was certainly capable.
"Let's go first." Shen Qinghuang said while glancing at the little one beside him.
Liu Meng, however, was not too willing; not only did Feng Yimo see her as a daughter, but she also saw Feng Yimo as an old father.
She hoped,
Go ahead.
Liu Qinghong stepped forward to help little Liu Meng up.
Here, we'll discuss.
Liu Meng looked at her and couldn't help but think of her mother.
Before returning to her position, she had actually gone back to look, but her mother no longer recognized her.
Even her younger brothers and sisters at home didn't recognize her; she was like a stranger to them.
Later, she thought it over and still didn't reveal herself to them, secretly glanced for a while then left.
This is actually the state of most cultivators; not everyone can be like Shen Qingli, always able to elevate family and friends to a position where they can be with her.
Most cultivators must experience "life-parting separation".
That is a kind of not being in the same circle; actually separating is better for family and friends, an unavoidable parting.
But Liu Meng still likes having a home; choosing Shen Qinghuang was never an impulsive decision of hers; she likes the Shen family, of course, and most of all likes the little junior sister.
"Go ahead." Liu Qinghong actually also quite likes Liu Meng.
This child often comes to the Shen household after A Li's ascension.
Originally, she wanted to match this child with her own mute son.
But the mute son isn't enlightened, completely lacking any thought of starting a family.
However, the eldest, she also watched him grow up; they are all her children.
"Go ahead, we adults are talking, what are you meddling in?" Feng Yimo also said.
The moment he spoke, Liu Meng then agreed, which only made Feng Yimo feel even more heartbroken.
"Our Heavenly Star Sect only has this one little maiden, and you've snatched her away." Old Master Ji Wanxing felt quite displeased.
"What do you mean, our A Li isn't a maiden?" Shen Yuan retorted.
Ji Wanxing immediately smacked his lips, "You old thing, you're using all your wits on marrying off a daughter-in-law!"
"Hey!" Shen Yuan put his arm around Feng Yimo's shoulder, speaking in a brotherly way, "As in-laws, the most important thing is to know each other's roots and background; we, the Shen family! Elder Brother Feng, you understand, they're all fine young men, and the household gets along well."
"But later there will be many sisters-in-law; that might not be the case." Zhan Yuefeng suddenly said.
"That's impossible! Our Shen family has maintained a good reputation for generations; don't you believe me, kid, go ask around casually." Shen Yuan guaranteed.
Shen Duo also said, "Our family tradition is good; even if no one is perfect, overall it won't be too bad. Look at Qingshan's wives, aren't they all good children too?"
Zhan Yuefeng was suddenly at a loss for words.
Shen Qingli's several cousins-in-law, really! Although their temperaments differ, they all have good hearts.
Recently, he helped settle the Shen household inside and out, and he had a clear idea in his mind.
If the eldest senior sister were to marry, Shen Qinghuang would indeed be an excellent choice.
As for the second Shen brother, he's too beautiful, not like a man.
As for the third Shen brother, he's too mute, making life difficult.
As for the fourth Shen brother and the others, they're already married.
Shen Qingting, the ninth brother, is sensitive and prone to crying, unsuitable for the eldest senior sister.
Shen Qingci, the youngest brother, hasn't grown up yet, making him even less suitable.
As for those outside the Shen family, unless it's himself or the second senior brother, who else would be worthy of the eldest senior sister?
"Grand Elder, I think there's no problem." Zhan Yuefeng, after thinking it over, sent a mental transmission to Feng Yimo.
Actually, Ji Wanxing had already talked about this with Feng Yimo before.
But Feng Yimo originally thought that even if he had to marry Liu Meng, it would be later, not something to rush.
Who would have thought it would come just like this…
Shen Yuan could actually understand his feelings too, and had already said, "Even if we settle it, it's just an engagement for now, no rush."
"An engagement is fine." Feng Yimo agreed.
Mister Huayuan shook his head; Old Feng is still too blunt, he got coaxed.
But he had already been dragged away by Shen Jing, who said there were a few ancient books for him to read; he had gone quite far, and turning back to raise objections now would be inappropriate.
These Shen family people are so scheming!
Mister Huayuan shook his head repeatedly…
Shen Qingli watched from afar, her eyes full of smiles.
"Sister just keeps looking at others, not even at me."
Di Jin was unhappy; he had finally gotten rid of the brat, and now sister is distracted!
Shen Qingli leaned into his embrace and said, "Seeing everyone so happy makes me happy too."
Di Jin gently stroked her forehead, following her gaze to look at the loved ones she cherished.
Indeed, they were all bustling about, playing mind games with cheerful hearts—rather interesting.
"I did it." Shen Qingli said again.
"Hm?" Di Jin lowered his eyes, gazing at her intently.
She also gazed at Di Jin, her eyes filled with a clear, bright light—so bright, lively, and vibrant.
In just an instant, Di Jin's heart became utterly tranquil and at peace.
Such an older sister has always been the state he hoped to return to.
I thought I could never go back, but unexpectedly…
She recovered.
Those pains have completely left her.
Di Jin's lifelong wish is nothing more than this.
"Protecting those I love, I have done it." Shen Qingli still said.
Path of Passion, Path of Ruthlessness, Demonic Path, Immortal Path…
What all these rules and regulations—actually they don't matter.
Follow your heart, press forward courageously, and ultimately achieve your wish—that is the true Dao.
As the Primordial Deity, she can finally do as she pleases, guarding the Dao of those she loves.
