Chapter 114: Unwilling to be a tool for marriage

Every corner of the Song family is a scene of luxury.

 There is a dedicated garden with all kinds of flowers in full bloom, enchanting the eyes. There are thick forests and a green color, and there is a crystal clear river nearby, rushing to the east in a mighty way.

 There are many mountains in the courtyard, about 100 meters high. From time to time, you can see various rare and strange animals, and you can also find a lot of spiritual grass on both sides of the jade stone road, growing on its own like the weeds outside, without anyone paying attention.

 Looking ahead, one can see huge palaces standing side by side. Even the palaces in the world are not even one percent as glorious. Many temples stand suspended in the air, surrounded by clouds and mist, giving off a holy atmosphere that is otherworldly.

 The main hall is the largest and most splendid building, with dark red tiles and hill-like jade pillars. Every inch of it has been carefully arranged, making it picturesque.

 Each palace has a unique shape, and there are legal restrictions everywhere, and the haze is locked around the palace, presenting a fairyland on earth that is difficult to describe in words.

 In the main hall, there were about a hundred senior members of the Song family, taking their seats one after another according to their strength.

 Knowing that Song Ningyan had returned and brought a companion with him, the Song family used the shortest possible time to investigate Chen Qingyuan's details.

 A disciple of the Xuan Qing Sect in the Fuliu Star Region and a direct disciple of the vice president of Daoyi Academy.

 With the Song family's ability, it is not difficult to find these.

 With his status as the vice-president's apprentice, the Song family did not dare to neglect Chen Qingyuan.

 A white jade avenue, about a hundred meters wide, leads directly to the main hall.

 On both sides of the road, there were guards wearing the same costumes. Each of them had a proud and heroic look on their face, showing their extraordinary talents.

 "The Song family is indeed the strongest ancient clan in the Northern Wilderness, with great wealth."

 Along the way, Chen Qingyuan was surprised by the architectural layout of the Song family.

 Daoyi Academy is not so extravagant and appears to be very low-key.

 "Talk less."

 Song Ningyan reminded, this is not outside, so be careful with your words and actions.

 Chen Qingyuan glanced at Song Ningyan and found that her face was a little pale, probably because she still had not overcome the fear deep in her heart.

 It is understandable, after all, Song Ningyan grew up in such an environment, and it is difficult to remove the fear rooted in the soul in a short period of time.

 The two of them crossed the threshold of the main hall and were greeted by a magnificent scene.

 The vast hall has more than twenty white jade giant pillars supporting the beams. There are exquisite tables and chairs on both sides, with ninety-nine seats on each side.

 The upper echelons of the Song family occupied more than half of the seats. They all looked at Chen Qingyuan and Song Ningyan who walked in, with serious expressions like sculptures.

 The atmosphere in the hall was very depressing and solemn, making Song Ningyan feel a little suffocated, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

 Song Ningyan quickly calmed down her inner uneasiness, tried her best to stay calm, and walked forward slowly.

 There is a high platform in the deepest part of the hall, and there is a chair on the platform that symbolizes the highest power of the Song family.

 A middle-aged man, wearing a black robe, sat on it.

 The facial features are standard, the eyes are like abyss, the skin is slightly yellow, the expression is solemn, and he is not angry and intimidating.

 He is the current head of the Song family, Song Xiufeng, and Song Ningyan's father.

 Song Xiufeng has been practicing for tens of thousands of years. It was not until he firmly established himself as the head of the family that he officially got married and then gave birth to several children. Song Ningyan is the only woman, the legitimate daughter of the main lineage.

 "Dad."

 Arriving at the center of the hall, Song Ningyan bowed to Song Xiufeng who was sitting high up.

 "Junior Chen Qingyuan, I have met all the seniors of the Song family."

 Chen Qingyuan cupped his hands in salute.

 "Chen Shaoxia, please take a seat."

 Song Xiufeng pointed to the empty seat on one side and smiled slightly at Chen Qingyuan.

 "Thank you."

 Chen Qingyuan was not polite and sat aside.

 Many pairs of curious eyes fell on Chen Qingyuan. It was unclear what the meaning of Chen Qingyuan's coming to the Song family was, and whether it represented some kind of will of Daoyi Academy.

 Song Ningyan stood alone, her pressure doubled, her eyelashes fluttered a few times, her hands hidden under her sleeves were so tight that they turned purple, and she became extremely restless.

 "I heard that you have become Elder Zhao's personal disciple, which is not bad."

 Song Xiufeng stopped smiling and had a serious expression that made people dare not look directly into his eyes.

 Song Ningyan pursed her red lips tightly, feeling nervous.

 Many years ago, Song Ningyan showed her unwillingness to obey the family's arrangements and was punished by Song Xiufeng. However, Song Ningyan's grandfather could understand her and secretly helped her. He asked for an invitation from Daoyi Academy and arranged for Song Ningyan to participate in the academy's assessment ceremony.

 Song Ningyan's performance was very impressive and she achieved first place in the assessment.

 And through Song Ningyan's unremitting efforts, she passed Zhao Yichuan's many tests and officially became his apprentice.

 However, this bargaining chip is not enough.

 If Zhao Yichuan was the dean of Daoyi Academy, the Song family would not dare to arrange Song Ningyan's future. However, Zhao Yichuan has not yet reached the level of controlling everything, so the Song family does not need to worry too much.

 "The old man sent you out of the Song family. I could just pretend I didn't see you and let you go out to relax. Now the time has come, you shouldn't mess around."

 Song Xiufeng directly stated his attitude. Even if Song Ningyan became Zhao Yichuan's apprentice, it would not affect the layout of the Song family.

 "Dad, I don't want to be a tool for marriage."

 Song Ningyan was silent for a long time, and then she mustered up the courage to say.

 The eyes of the elders of the Song family twitched. Although they knew what Song Ningyan was thinking, this was the first time they saw Song Ningyan dare to say it in front of everyone.

 This girl's temper is actually very much like the head of the family, quite stubborn.

 It's a pity that Song Ningyan is only a girl. If she were a boy, she would definitely be liked by Song Xiufeng.

 "The eldest grandson of Miao Miao Holy Land will be here in a few days. Then you can meet and get acquainted with each other."

 Song Xiufeng seemed to have not heard what Song Ningyan said and said without any doubt.

 If possible, Song Xiufeng wouldn't want Song Ningyan to live a free life. As the head of the family, he must think about the future of the Song family.

 As a father, all he can do is find a good marriage for Song Ningyan.

 Feng Ye, the eldest grandson of Piao Miao Holy Land, has excellent talent and appearance, and is definitely worthy of being the legitimate daughter of the Song family.

 Two families get married and exchange resources.

 Whether it is an ancient tribe or a Holy Land sect, they all need to develop well, try to make alliances, and not let their footsteps stay where they are. If you don't think about making progress, no matter how powerful the power is, it will only be short-lived and cannot last long.

 The Song family can continue to this day and still sit firmly at the head of the Northern Wilderness ancient clan, which is to put aside personal family ties and put the interests of the family first.

 "Dad, give me a little more time, and I will prove that I am no worse than anyone else."

 Song Ningyan risked her life, faced the fear deep in her heart, looked at Song Xiufeng who was sitting high up, and said loudly.
