Chapter 162 Heart-Piercing Words

For Qi Xuansu, it was more of a surprise than a joy.

If Zhang Yuelu had followed her original plan, it would have undoubtedly failed. Tan Taiqiong saw through Zhang Yuelu's trick at a glance. Just as she said, Zhang Yuelu never spent too much time on such things, and even her tricks were perfunctory, as if to say, I still obey my mother's authority on the surface, so I found someone to deal with it, but you don't have to go too far, let's stop at the right time, just show your respect, if you really push me, I will go to Quanzhen Dao to become a monk.

Qi Xuansu naturally couldn't respond, so he could only remain silent.

Tan Taiqiong continued, "Qingxiao has been very opinionated since she was young, which is good. While other children were still confused, she already had a clear goal and was able to quickly stand out from her peers. She was one step ahead and every step was fast. The bad thing is that she is too opinionated. If there is no reason to convince her, she will refuse to accept the opinions of others, even her own mother. Once she makes up her mind, she will not regret it even if she dies, but she will not be pulled back by nine cows. How much do you know about what I said?" Qi Xuansu pondered and said, "I know a little bit." Tan Taiqiong looked at Qi Xuansu deeply and said, "Since you know, then I probably understand why Qingxiao Why would she choose you? She doesn't need a strong husband's family to restrain her, so Li Tianzhen and his ilk have no chance at all. She doesn't need a husband who can compete with her, so all the young talents who are also exiled immortals have been rejected by her one by one. She needs a good man who obeys her orders, or to put it more tactfully, she needs a companion who unconditionally supports her to practice her beliefs, and this companion must have considerable potential, enough to keep up with her pace, and not become a burden, so she chose you, a suitable candidate in her eyes. "

Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered the two words Zhang Yuelu said - heart-breaking.

This lady Tan Tai did not belittle Qi Xuansu openly, and even recognized his ability, nor did she use power to suppress others like Zhang Yuyue did. What she had to do was to slowly dissect Zhang Yuelu's exterior in front of Qi Xuansu and show his interior to Qi Xuansu, just like peeling an orange.

In other words, Tan Taiqiong tried to deconstruct Zhang Yuelu in her own way, eliminating the romantic color born of Zhang Yuelu's ideals, and covering Zhang Yuelu with a heavy utilitarian coat.

If Qi Xuansu just liked Zhang Yuelu as a person, it would be difficult not to be shaken under such a deconstruction, and even feel that he was deceived and believed that he was used by Zhang Yuelu. After all, this was said by Zhang Yuelu's mother herself, and it was highly credible. No matter who it was, they would subconsciously choose to believe it, just as Tan Taiqiong herself said, no one knows a daughter better than her mother.

If Qi Xuansu was unmoved, then Tan Taiqiong could use this to prove her point: Qi Xuansu just took a fancy to Zhang Yuelu's background and wanted to use Zhang Yuelu as a stepping stone for advancement. What else is there to say? The Zhang family could not marry their daughter to such a person anyway. The lesson of Li Minghuang was enough, and there was no need for a second one.

Blocking both ends.

Qi Xuansu didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only remain silent, and then make some expressions to express his entanglement. After all, this is what he is good at, pretending.

Tan Taiqiong looked at Qi Xuansu and also tried to figure out Qi Xuansu's thoughts. She had to grasp Qi Xuansu's thoughts to dominate the situation. However, Qi Xuansu's reaction was really beyond her expectations. She didn't expect that a young man could have so many expressions on his face, including shock, sadness, sadness, pain, helplessness, relief, and reminiscence.

Of course, she didn't believe that a young man who could be favored by her daughter was a so-called infatuated seed, but she had to admit that this boy was a little interesting. Who did he learn this from?

Qi Xuansu didn't have parents, but he had a master and Qi Niang. Of course, he learned all these from Qi Niang.

This is also one of the bad habits that Zhang Yuelu wanted to correct.

Tan Tai Qiong finally decided to add fuel to the fire: "Although they are both ambitious, the mentality of those born in the Wanxiang Dao Palace and those born in aristocratic families is completely different. Some aristocratic family children have a sense of responsibility that ordinary people cannot match. For them, Taoism is the foundation of their ancestors' hundreds of battles. They have more responsibilities and obligations to guard this foundation than ordinary Taoist disciples. Because of this, these aristocratic family children often have a mentality of "how can etiquette and laws be set up for us", which makes them bold and dare to do anything."

"As for those born in the Wanxiang Dao Palace, they are also not bound by etiquette and laws, but there are still differences. Aristocratic family children recognize etiquette and laws in their bones, but they have double standards. They think they are superior to ordinary people and should not be bound by etiquette and laws, but they feel at ease to use etiquette and laws to restrain others People. People born in the Wanxiang Dao Palace despise the so-called etiquette from the bottom of their hearts. Compared with the children of noble families who always hold their status in high regard, they can be said to be flexible, just like weeds, which can grow tenaciously even if they are rooted in the cracks of rocks. Therefore, the children of noble families are easily discouraged by various setbacks, but they can persevere. "

"They have suffered and understand that wealth and honor are not easy to come by. As long as they grab it, they will not let go. Because of their strong desires, they are very strong-willed. They can be ruthless to themselves and others for their own interests, and they will do anything to achieve their own interests. They are more ugly than the children of noble families. However, unlike those who really achieve great things, these people often focus on getting ahead because of their strong ambitions and ignore other things. They lack the most important pattern and it is difficult for them to make it to the end. "

Qi Xuansu thought seriously for a moment, and finally said: "If aunt thinks that I am the 'them' in your mouth, then aunt thinks too highly of me. Qing Xiao has always blamed me for not seeking advancement and being content with being rich."

Tantai Qiong looked at Qi Xuansu: "I don't deny Qingxiao's vision, and I don't doubt my daughter's intelligence at all. But after all, she is young and lacks a lot of life experience. She may not be able to see through the surface. At this time, she must be the leader of the elders. Come out and help her avoid detours."

Qi Xuansu said softly: "Auntie said a lot, and she said it very well. I have been taught a lesson. I wonder if Auntie has anything else to teach me?"

Tantai Qiong said: "You are not as gentle and kind-hearted as Qingxiao's father. You have a violent spirit in your heart and a murderous aura, which has nothing to do with being gentle, courteous and thrifty. So you should stop pretending in front of me. It's time. Whatever it looks like, that’s what it looks like.”

Qi Xuansu suppressed the smile on his face: "Does my aunt treat her husband and daughter the same way she treats me?"

"What did you say?" Tantai Qiong frowned slightly.

Qi Xuansu said without being humble or arrogant: "Is it possible that Auntie is facing the Heavenly Master with such a condescending and preaching attitude? If so, then I have nothing to say. If not, then is Auntie just pretending?"

Tantai Qiong narrowed her eyes and stared at Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu said: "Auntie knows how to face different people with different attitudes, so she doesn't allow me to treat different people with different attitudes? What is true? What is false? Do I have to face my friends with murderous intent and be amiable? Is it true to face the enemy head-on?"

"He has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. He looks very much like the Li family, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the Li family's background." Tantai Qiong said coldly.

After a brief counterattack, Qi Xuansu fell into silence again, making Tantai Qiong feel like he had been punched in cotton.

Tantai Qiong had to admit that she had underestimated this young man. He was a pretentious man, but his ability, appearance, and character were not bad. If he had a similar family background, he would be a suitable son-in-law candidate.

Unfortunately, without the support of family background, the previous ones are meaningless. There are many capable people, but few people with enough family background. This is a very simple truth.

No matter how you say it, Zhang Yuelu can be regarded as the great-niece of the Heavenly Master. Whoever marries her may not be able to borrow strength from the couple, but they can certainly borrow strength from the Zhang family of the Dazhen Mansion, and even the Earth Master and Ci. Let’s borrow some help from Hang Zhenren.

Tantai Qiong sighed: "What a pity. If your surname was really Li, all your shortcomings would turn into advantages, and I would lose to you willingly. After all, you are like the kind of person I said, flexible and flexible, like a weed. Even if it is rooted in the cracks of the stone, it can still grow tenaciously. Those words I just said would have been gone by a child of aristocratic family, but you endured it, neither humble nor arrogant. But..."

Qi Xuansu suddenly interrupted: "Has aunt ever killed anyone?"

Tantai Qiong was startled, then surged with anger and uncontrollable murderous intent: "So what if I killed, so what if I didn't?"

Qi Xuansu seemed to be unaware of anything and said calmly: "I believe that aunt has killed people before. Killing requires stability, accuracy and speed. Find the weakness and kill with one blow instead of wasting time in other unimportant places. Now aunt wants to 'kill people' ', but I am not the fatal point. No matter how much aunt stabs me, it will be useless. Even if aunt kills one Qi Xuansu, there may be Zhang Xuansu, Li Xuansu, Xu Xuansu and Qin Xuansu. Will aunt be able to kill him? "

Tantai Qiong fell into silence for the first time.

She didn't understand this truth. The key to the matter was not who Zhang Yuelu brought back, but Zhang Yuelu himself. Just because Zhang Yuelu was her daughter, and she was already grown up and independent, so what could she do.

At this moment, a cold voice said: "There is no such thing as Zhang Xuansu, Li Xuansu, Xu Xuansu, Qin Xuansu. There never was before and there will never be again in the future. The reason why I changed my mind is only because of Qi Xuansu."

Qi Xuansu and Tantai Qiong followed the sound and saw Zhang Yuelu already standing at the door.

Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu looked at each other with frosty expressions on their faces, not hiding their anger.

Qi Xuansu could only lower his head and not look at Zhang Yuelu. At the same time, he smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that his words made Zhang Yuelu very unhappy. After all, the conservative Zhang Yuelu even considered going to Quanzhen Taoism to become a monk. How could he provoke so many "Xuansu". This was not his original intention, it was just a casual remark to retaliate against Tantai Qiong.

But the most angry person was Tantai Qiong. Zhang Yuelu's words undoubtedly completely clarified the conflict between mother and daughter. Just out of mother's nature, her anger was not directed at her daughter, but at Qi Xuansu who was beside her daughter.
