Jiang Ershan smiled happily, "Xiaochen is really capable."

At dinner time, a family of nearly twenty people gathered together, talking and laughing.

This rare warmth made Jiang Weichen feel lighter physically and mentally, and his mood actually improved.

But faced with his second uncle's sudden words, he was speechless.

All I could hear was my second uncle muttering, "Xiaochen, you'll be forty-one next year, but from what you said, you've been secluded these years cultivating. Are you still not married?"

Jiang Weichen's face froze. Even though he was mentally strong, he was still a little overwhelmed by the sudden pressure to get married.

"Xiaochen, my eldest brother and his wife are gone now. Second uncle has to urge you to take responsibility. Otherwise, you will be too ashamed to see your eldest brother when you die."

"Brother, you don't know, my father has been urging me to have a baby these past few years, just wanting me to have one and adopt it under your name." Jiang Tianxiao complained.

"Shut up! Do you have the right to speak? If you hadn't tricked your father, would I have asked you to give birth to a son and adopt him?"

"Dad, I told you I wasn't lying. Everyone in the world says that my eldest brother is dead, so I..."

"You can't even figure out if someone is dead or not, and you still have the nerve to do that?"

"Mom, you don't speak up for me. My dad just doesn't like me." Jiang Tianxiao said to his mother speechlessly.

Unexpectedly, Second Aunt didn't say anything for Tian Xiao. Instead, she said, "Not only does your father dislike you, I dislike you too. You said you've been married for five or six years and you only gave me a granddaughter, and you still have the nerve to talk like that."

Ah Qing lowered her head. After living in the valley for two years, she married Jiang Tianxiao.

Second Aunt was a village woman who spoke directly, without considering the others. She said directly: "I wonder if there is something wrong with your body. Xiaochen is a good doctor, so let him give you two a good checkup."

"Mom, what are you talking about? I told you there's nothing wrong with my body."

"You still say there's nothing wrong. Look at the Tianwang lineage, they have so many descendants, two or three of them every year. But when it comes to you brothers, it's different. One or two of you can't get married, and even if you do, you can't have children."

"There's nothing wrong with you, it's Ah Qing who's wrong. Xiao Chen, show Ah Qing a look."

Ah Qing, who was bowing her head, blushed and said, "Mom, there's nothing wrong with me."

"You..." Second Aunt pointed at the two of them, "You're going to piss me off to death."

Tianwang's family at the next table and a few children running around with bowls in their hands were also joining in the fun.

Jiang Weichen's second uncle's family, who had originally urged him to get married, all changed their target because of Tian Xiao's complaint.

Jiang Weichen smiled as he watched this heartwarming scene. All living things have different states of being, each with their own troubles and joys.

Within the heart palace, where the source of the heart is located, the spiritual power that was originally flowing like a stream suddenly doubled in size.

Then part of it slowly gathered to form a pond, and part of it was absorbed by the Yandao Tower, and the formation speed of the second layer suddenly accelerated.

After dinner, the stars were shining, the sky was full of moonlight, and the fields were filled with the croaking of frogs.

Under the mulberry tree in the courtyard, Jiang Weichen and A-Bi stood side by side, speechless for a moment.

Jiang Weichen originally thought that he was partly responsible for what happened to his parents and grandfather in this life because he had prevented the land from being sold.

But A-Bi is actually Xiao He, so even if I am not there, this series of events will still happen.

Her parents will still die, and A-Bi will still be saved by Murong Bo and become a maid in the Murong family.

After a long pause, Jiang Weichen spoke up, "A few years ago, when you went to Qingyun Mountain, you apologized to me and said you had adopted Murong Fu's son. How come I haven't seen him?"

"Brother, you...you know?" A Bi was surprised and a little scared at the same time.

When she went to pay her respects that year, she felt guilty and apologized at the grave. She never expected that her eldest brother would know about it.

"Are you so scared of my identity as a great villain? Or are you afraid that I will harm the orphan of the Murong family?"

"No...no." A-Bi stuttered.

Jiang Weichen sighed inwardly. Although they were blood-related siblings, Xiaohe was only three years old when they separated. It was understandable that she was afraid of him because she was close to the Murong family.

These days, there are many people who would repay a meal with their lives, let alone a maid like Xiaohe who has been brainwashed to be loyal to the Murong family since childhood.

Although Murong Fu's maids each have their own personalities, their loyalty is unquestionable.

His reputation was not good, but it was not enough to scare Abi, as she knew he would not hurt her.

"You raised him as your son, but I don't know if he will be grateful for your kindness." Jiang Weichen sighed lightly.

"Brother, the young master is not an ungrateful person. He has been humble and polite in the valley over the years, and everyone has witnessed it."

Jiang Weichen shook his head. "He should only be fourteen years old. He left the valley so early. He must be eager for revenge. I killed his ancestor. Do you think I will be his target?"

Abi's face paled, "I...I don't know."

As the words fell, tears welled up in his eyes. On one side was the blood relationship, and on the other side was the loyalty engraved in his bones, plus years of raising and teaching, he had already developed feelings for his family.

She really didn't know what she would do if the two of them were to confront each other.

Chapter 496: Never Changed

Jiang Weichen looked at A-Bi, focusing his mind to calm her down.

"Of course I'm not afraid of him. It's almost impossible for him to catch up with me, but he knows this place. I'm just worried that he will implicate you.

My second uncle and second aunt are old now, and they definitely don’t want to leave the place where they have lived for more than 20 years.”

"Brother, the young master has been taught by me since he was young. I know him well. I believe that the young master will not implicate Second Uncle and the others."

After A Bi finished speaking, she hesitated and said, "Brother, if the young master comes looking for you, can you please not kill him, even if it means crippling his martial arts skills?"

Jiang Weichen looked at A Bi's pleading face and sighed inwardly, "Don't worry, I won't kill him because of the Murong family's kindness in saving you."

"I'm sorry, big brother." Abi said guiltily.

Jiang Weichen raised his hand, wiping away A Bi's tears with a flick of his Qi, and comforted her, "Don't feel guilty. The Murong family has been kind to you, and it's only natural that you're feeling troubled. As for Murong Feng, he can't hurt me in the slightest."

"Then I feel relieved." A Bi finally put her worries aside.

Jiang Weichen suggested: "Since he won't implicate Second Uncle and the others, then come out with me and I'll teach you how to practice."

Murong Feng has been taught by A-Bi since he was a child, and Jiang Weichen also has speculations about his future identity.

If he is really Dugu Qiubai, the message he left in Snake Valley shows that he is an upright person.

I think even if it is revenge, they would not bother to implicate innocent people.

In the valley, there is Ah Qing who has done him a favor, and Tian Xiao who has reached the late stage of Grandmaster, so there is no need to worry.

But he could not bear the consequences of seeking defeat in this life.

"Brother, I won't go out. It's good to live in seclusion in the valley."

Jiang Weichen frowned, "You are just Murong Fu's maid. Murong Fu has never even touched you. Ah Qing has married Tian Xiao, and Ah Zhu has gone with Qiao Feng. You have already repaid his kindness by raising his son. There is no need to remain a widow for him."

"Brother, I don't. It's just that there are some unclear grudges and entanglements outside, and I don't want to go out and cause trouble for you." A Bi replied.

"You can't be alone forever, right? If you are alone, you won't feel comfortable in this valley.

Some nagging is kind if you hear it occasionally, but if you hear it every day, you will get tired of it.

"Brother, I'm already over 30, old and ugly, no one is interested in me."

"Nonsense, he's only in his thirties. He's considered old among ordinary people, but among warriors, there are many unmarried men.

In addition, you are gentle and virtuous. When your elder brother teaches you the method of cultivation, you will be able to maintain eternal youth after practicing.

Whether it's young men or older ladies, there will be countless people pursuing you. You can choose any one you want."

A Bi chuckled, "Brother, you thought you were buying groceries and you picked whatever you wanted."

Jiang Weichen said seriously: "I'm not joking with you, you can either leave with me or I will teach you how to practice. After you embark on the path of Taoism, it doesn't matter whether you can have a family or not.

If you don't practice cultivation with me, then you should go out and find someone you like and start a family. Otherwise, I'm afraid that decades from now, you'll feel lonely and miserable when you see others surrounded by their children and grandchildren.

Even people like Taoist Qingyun began to reminisce about the past. If A Biruo did not embark on the path of Taoism, although she would still have no worries about food and clothing when she was old, she would inevitably feel lonely in her heart.

A-Bi was silent for a long time and then replied, "Brother, I'll think about it."

"Yeah." Jiang Weichen responded.

"Brother, you seem different from what was rumored?"

"What do the rumors say I look like?"

"Murderous demon... Butcher... Demon... Blood demon..."

"You didn't hear a word of mine, did you?"

“It seems… not!”

"It doesn't matter. I will follow my own path. What does it have to do with me what the world thinks of me?"

"Brother, has the world misunderstood you?"

"There are so many misunderstandings. They only see me slaughtering people in the martial arts world, but they don't know that I am just trying to survive."

"..."

Under the moonlight, the brother and sister chatted casually and their relationship gradually became closer.

Half a month later, Jiang Weichen sighed softly, "Murong Fu, what virtue and ability do you have?"

Jiang Weichen was helpless, as A-Bi still rejected him, refused to go out with him, and didn't want to get married.

I don't go out with him because I don't want to be a burden, but I don't want to get married because I have my own thoughts.

In the original novel, the woman who did not abandon Murong Fu even when he went crazy, even though many things have happened now, A-Bi has remained unchanged.

Jiang Weichen stayed for a while and performed Yi Jin Qingsui for everyone, either to improve their physical fitness or enhance their cultivation qualifications.

While teaching A-Bi how to practice, he also instructed Tian Xiao in martial arts.

Over the ridges of the fields, golden eagles took turns flying low with several children on board.

The world outside the valley was in chaos because of the conversion from Buddhism to Taoism, but inside the valley there was laughter and joy.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

A-Bi's cultivation was on the right track. Jiang Weichen taught her the Yi Mu Chang Chun Gong, which he had already cultivated to the Grand Master stage, and also taught her the Way of the Heart.

In addition, she likes piano music, and Jiang Weichen also wrote down his collection over the years.

He also taught those children some martial arts to strengthen their bodies, so physical training was not a problem.

As for whether or not to practice in the future, that is their own choice. Anyway, he has left the inheritance.
