From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 53 Diamond Gate

During the day, Tonggu County.

A girl wearing a colorful silk horse-faced skirt and a high ponytail stood under the willow tree by the river, looking into the distance.

She was tall, with a fair complexion and a sweet face. She wore a pearl necklace on her slender neck, a gold bracelet on her left wrist, a jade bracelet on her right wrist, and a jade pendant around her waist.

The price of any piece of jewelry is beyond the reach of an average family's annual income.

Fu Zhiyi is the youngest daughter of Fu Yuanzhen, the leader of the Vajra Sect.

She has three brothers. The eldest brother, Fu Zhigang, is at the Xiantian realm and manages the Fu family's escort agency.

The second elder brother, Fu Zhiqiang, is also at the Xiantian realm and manages the Fu family’s martial arts school.

The third brother, Fu Zhiren, is a high-level martial artist who helps guide students in the martial arts school.

Fu Zhiyi grew up in such an environment, so you can imagine how spoiled she was. From childhood to adulthood, she had everything she wanted, including fine clothes and delicious food.

She and Xu Xiaogou had agreed to meet here today to take a boat tour on the lake.

"Zhiyi~~!"

A call came from afar.

A tall and burly figure came quickly towards him. It was Xu Xiaogou.

When he saw Fu Zhiyi, his brows lit up with joy. He couldn't help but rush forward, hold her under her armpits with both hands and lift her up to spin around.

The long skirt and ponytail fluttered in the wind.

Fu Zhiyi blushed and said coquettishly, "Xiao Gou, put me down quickly, be careful not to be seen by others."

"Hey, you're so light, you must be made of marshmallows."

Xu Xiaogou put her down.

Fu Zhiyi looked around, afraid that others would see her. She took Xu Xiaogou's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go boating. I've found a boat."

"Let's not go boating today."

Xu Xiaogou thought of his father's instructions.

"how?"

"I want to marry you."

Xu Xiaogou's eyes were full of affection. When he first met Fu Zhiyi, he fell in love with her at first sight.

At that time, he didn't know Fu Zhiyi's identity.

Fu Zhiyi deliberately hid her identity and did not tell Xu Xiaogou that it brought her a lot of trouble.

It was not until Xu Xiaogou learned of his identity that he realized the disparity in their family backgrounds. However, he had confidence in himself, believing that he would eventually become a martial arts genius who could ascend to the Xiantian realm.

"Really? How much do you want it?"

"I think about it all the time. Take me to see your father. I will find a way to impress him."

"..."

Fu Zhiyi was in hesitation.

If his father doesn't agree, then she and Xu Xiaogou will be in a difficult situation.

Although she was spoiled since she was a child, she had to listen to her father in this regard. Her father had warned her since she was a child: stay away from men.

Her three brothers were also very protective of her, especially the third brother, Fu Zhiren. Any boy who approached her or showed interest in her, especially the young men from her family's martial arts school, were all driven away by her third brother.

"I'm at this age now, it's time to bring it up." Fu Zhiyi thought.

She was seventeen years old. In the past, because she was young and her father had always warned her against it, she had never thought about getting married.

At the age of seventeen, girls from ordinary families are talking about marriage.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

She brought Xu Xiaogou to her own mansion.

----

The Fu family mansion was located on the eastern outskirts of the county town, covering an area of ​​20 mu. It was divided into five courtyards (east, south, west, north, and center) and numerous pavilions and corridors. The courtyard walls were high and the red-painted gates were very impressive. This was Xu Xiaogou's first time entering the Fu family mansion.

He followed Fu Zhiyi through it and couldn't help looking around, seeing the exquisite buildings with carved beams and painted rafters, and seeing the maids taking care of the exquisite garden in the courtyard.

There is a pond in the yard, dotted with lotus flowers and lotus leaves, and several brightly colored koi fish are swimming around in the clear water.

Xu Xiaogou became even more panicked. Only by seeing it with his own eyes could he understand the difference in their family conditions.

Even if such a big house was given to his family, they would not be able to afford to live in it.

"Where is my dad?"

Fu Zhiyi stopped the servant and asked.

"Miss, the master is in the reception room and has a visitor."

The servant responded, and at the same time, he couldn't help but glance at Xu Xiaogou curiously. His young lady had never brought a strange man home.

Fu Zhiyi took Xu Xiaogou to the reception hall.

At this time, in the reception hall.

Fu Yuanzhen sat in the main seat, and in the guest seat was a middle-aged man with a broad back and a body as thick as a door panel, and next to him was a young man in his twenties.

The middle-aged strong man is named Qi Chunshan. He is the leader of the Xionghu Sect and is at the innate warrior level.

Next to him is his second son, Qi Xiaping.

"Brother Yuan Zhen, you and I have known each other for over thirty years and know each other very well. My Xia Ping needs no introduction; you should know him well. He is a top-notch character and martial arts talent. If he could become a couple with your daughter, it would strengthen the bond between our two families and would be a truly wonderful story."

Qi Chunshan's purpose of coming was to match his son Qi Xiaping with Fu Yuanzhen's daughter.

The Xionghu Sect also had a martial arts school in Tonggu County, where they taught the Xionghu Posture Kung Fu. Logically, the Xionghu Sect and the King Kong Sect were business competitors, but in fact, they had some friendship in their early years.

Moreover, the tuition for the standing meditation taught in the Vajra Sect is the most expensive, and those who can practice martial arts in the Vajra Sect are the big landlords in the villages and the wealthy families in the city.

Most of the people who practice the Bear and Tiger Stance Exercise are "common people". In many villages, there are masters who teach the Bear and Tiger Stance Exercise, such as Du Hai.

"..."

When Fu Yuanzhen learned of Qi Chunshan's purpose, he couldn't refuse directly due to his face, but he also didn't want to agree to it.

Who his daughter Fu Zhiyi marries depends on her opinion. He dotes on his daughter and will not force her to marry someone she doesn't like.

Now that the leader of the Xionghu Sect has come to propose marriage, it is definitely not just for Fu Zhiyi, but for the wealth and power of the Fu family.

The King Kong Sect earns much more money than the Xiong Hu Sect, and its business scale is several times that of the Xiong Hu Sect.

"Your Xia Ping is indeed excellent, but my daughter is very picky. It depends on whether the children are destined to be together. If the child doesn't want to, I can't match them up randomly."

Fu Yuanzhen found an excuse.

In fact, he knew that his daughter had been very close to a young man named Xu Xiaogou recently, and he had already asked someone to investigate the Xu family's situation.

The Xu family is an honest farming family. Except for Xu Xiaogou's deceased grandfather who was addicted to gambling, there is nothing wrong with other people in the family.

He keeps a close eye on his daughter, so how could he not know about the situation between the two of them?

The reason why he didn't intervene was because he tacitly agreed.

When his daughter was young, he knew how many bad men there were out there, and he also knew how many people coveted the Fu family's wealth and how it would make people with ulterior motives approach his daughter with ill intentions.

He kept his daughter away from men as a way of protecting her.

After his daughter met Xu Xiaogou, he investigated Xu Xiaogou and found that he was not disgusted by his family background and experience, so he tacitly allowed the two to meet secretly.

----

Qi Chunshan didn't know about Fu Zhiyi and Xu Xiaogou.

He continued to recommend his son: "That's easy. Let Zhiyi meet and talk with my son Xia Ping. I believe she will definitely feel good about Xia Ping when she sees him. This is the first step in developing feelings."

"..."

Fu Yuanzhen was speechless. Is this how a father blindly trusts his son?
