The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 3: The Lobby Refuses the Marriage

"Shu'er?"

When Mrs. Chen Wu heard her daughter's reply, her expression paused. For a moment, she couldn't see through the daughter she had raised for sixteen years.

The tone was cautious.

"Mom! I've made up my mind!"

Chen Jinshu's eyes revealed determination, and his previous cowardly look was long gone.

Chen Jinli, who was standing by, looked at her with resentment, and a feeling of injustice suddenly arose in her heart.

Why does she have the right to climb up the social ladder just because she has a second uncle with high cultivation level?

Why would she scoff at such an opportunity to obtain a large amount of resources and change her fate?

"Have you really decided? I'm only betrothing the eldest son of the Lin family to you out of respect for your second uncle." Chen Zhixing's eyes were sharp, with a hint of impatience.

Full of disdain for Chen Jinshu's current behavior.

It was as if she was saying that this was alms for her husband, and it would be ungrateful if she didn't agree.

Not long ago, he was hesitant about the marriage, but now he is wholeheartedly devoted to Taoism.

Fortunately, he still praised him highly in front of the head of the Lin family.

The head of the Lin family nodded in agreement because he knew that Chen Jinshu had good talent, and her mother and sister were both beautiful. Even if she didn't have this birthmark, she would still be a beauty, and her offspring would have good looks.

"Jinshu has made up his mind. I hope the clan leader will agree!" Chen Jinshu bowed slightly, his expression calm and his tone without hesitation.

"Okay! Since it's already been decided, it can't be changed even if your second uncle says so."

Chen Zhixing stared straight into Chen Jinshu's eyes, and with a bang, he released the pressure of the ninth level of Qi training, hoping that the other party would change his mind at this time.

However, what he saw was still that indifferent look, which made him even more unhappy.

Chen Jinshu endured the pressure released by the clan leader's high-level Qi training. His face turned pale and he squatted slightly, still unmoved. However, he secretly took note of this matter in his heart.

"When persuasion fails, they resort to intimidation! This family has reached its end!"

"Clan leader! Since Shu'er has no intention of marriage, let's leave this opportunity to someone else." Chen Wu felt the pressure released by the clan leader towards her daughter, and immediately burst out her seventh-level Qi training skills to resist for her daughter.

The tone was even more resentful.

Her daughter Chen Jinshu had just come back from the gates of hell, so how could she bear such oppression?

"Hmph! If you don't want to, then forget it. There are many disciples who want to fight for such an opportunity!" Chen Zhixing's eyes sank slightly, and he immediately withdrew his pressure.

Chen Jinshu felt the pressure of a thousand pounds on his body disappear, and he breathed slightly.

"Shu'er! Are you okay?"

"Mom! I'm fine!"

The several female cultivators from the Chen family around were so frightened that their faces turned slightly pale, and they even avoided looking at the painter.

Of course, there are more people who are watching the show with a gloating look in their eyes.

"If you don't want to marry, then leave the family hall. Don't hinder other female cultivators from pursuing a better and more distant path!"

Chen Zhixing looked at her with a deeper look in his eyes, and it seemed as if he was also speaking to the female cultivators of the Chen family who were present.

Today, Chen Jinshu's refusal of marriage in front of so many female cultivators from the Chen family has set a precedent.

If they let it go easily, there will definitely be female cultivators who will cancel the originally arranged marriage in the future, and the prestige of their Chen family will definitely become weaker and weaker in the future.

How can the family continue to be stable?

His authority as the patriarch was becoming less and less respected.

Now, she is being taught a lesson, and this is also for the benefit of the female cultivators present. They are afraid that they will give up and affect the current stability of the Chen family.

"Thank you, Patriarch, for your help! Jinshu will take his leave!"

Chen Jinshu finished speaking and walked out of the family hall, supported by her mother. Outside, the hall was covered with swan-feather snow, and the cold wind blew like ice knives, cutting her cheeks and removing some of the color.

"I'm late! Jinshu, are you okay? It's all because of your second uncle being too anxious. I didn't expect the clan leader to marry you to a monk with a broken arm." Second uncle Chen Wentan hurried over and bumped into the mother and daughter who were supporting each other as they walked out of the family hall.

Based on his understanding of the clan leader over the years, Chen Jinshu suffered a loss after all.

"Thank you for your concern, second uncle! Jinshu is fine!"

"Although what the clan leader did this time was not righteous, his original intention was good and was for the prosperity of the clan..."

"Her second uncle! This is not the place for idle chat." Chen Wu really didn't want to listen anymore and said with a somewhat impatient tone.

……

After a while, the three of them returned to the house on the mountainside.

"Don't think too much. Although the marriage failed, you have high talent and can cultivate yourself with concentration. You may have a chance to succeed." Chen Wentan said to Chen Jinshu with a serious face.

"I know!" Chen Jinshu took off the veil on his head and nodded slightly.

"I wonder what your plans are for the future? You've disobeyed the clan leader in front of so many people. I'm afraid you'll face even more criticism within the clan in the future."

"I wonder what suggestions my mother and second uncle have?"

The original body was also ignorant of the world. She had no intention of practicing on weekdays and only thought about how to improve her beauty. Now her cultivation level is only the second level of Qi training.

Among his peers, he has good aptitude, but the worst cultivation.

"You are sixteen now. In two years, Xuanming Sect will be recruiting disciples. Why don't you join the sect and stay away from family disputes?" Chen Wentan said after thinking for a moment.

"What are the restrictions on the Xuanming Sect accepting disciples?"

Mrs. Chen Wu really didn't want her daughters to leave her. Her eldest daughter had just left three years ago, and now her second daughter was about to leave her. Although she was reluctant, she still chose to respect her daughters.

"As long as you're no more than twenty years old, you'll be fine. If you don't have any cultivation experience, those with four spiritual roots will be menial servants, and those with three or more will be outer disciples. Shu'er is a cultivator in the family and has already cultivated. You must reach the fourth level of Qi training before you can become an outer disciple..."

To be honest, Chen Wentan didn't want his niece to go to the sect, because she could only do menial work there.

Chen Jinshu is now only at the second level of Qi training, and feels a little weak, probably because of the side effects of the elixir he took.

It is extremely difficult to reach the fourth level of Qi training within two years.

If you want to become a servant, you must work within the sect.

How could Chen Jinshu bear it when he had been spoiled by his family for many years?

"It's fine to be a chore. It's better than staying in the family and attracting criticism." Chen Jinshu's face remained calm when he heard this, without showing any displeasure.

And with the help of the lotus petal birthmark on her forehead, she is confident that she will make a breakthrough within two years.

"Shu'er! If you really don't want to do chores, we can go out less often and concentrate on practicing at home." Chen Wu comforted softly.

"Mom! Now that I have displeased the clan leader, I am afraid my future will be difficult."

"With my second uncle here, they won't dare to do anything. And as a disciple of the Chen family, you have the right to stay in the family. The ancestor will not let them do this." Chen Wentan's expression became a little serious.

"I can't always live under the protection of my second uncle and mother. The world of the Chen family is too small. I want to go out and see the world." Chen Jinshu shook his head slightly, having already made the decision in his heart.

The Chen family now relies on marriages to maintain stability, which is not a good situation.

Besides, there are so many eyes in the family, there will always be some who dislike her.

She might as well join a sect and have some peace and quiet.

"It will take two years before the Xuanming Sect accepts disciples. During these two years, you should go to Lingjiu Mountain and take over the three acres of spiritual farmland that the family compensated your father." Seeing that her daughter had made up her mind, Chen Wu stopped trying to persuade her and took out the guard token for the three acres of spiritual farmland.

"Mom! Do you want to go with me?" Chen Jinshu took the token and looked at Chen Wu and asked softly.

"Lingjiu Mountain only has a first-grade, mid-grade spiritual vein, and it also has to provide so many spiritual fields. Mother won't go over and compete with you for spiritual energy."
