Chapter 56: Earthquake?

  Liu Yuanchen's face twitched, and after a long while, he said, "Does Master Hong have a daughter?"

  Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Hong Jiutong quietly turned his head to glance at Zhao Yuanling, seeing that Zhao Yuanling didn't react at all, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He dryly laughed and said, "We haven't seen each other in almost twenty years, of course I have a daughter now, my little girl is called Xin, she's 29 this year, I was just thinking of finding her a husband, now it's perfect, I'll just choose one from among your disciples."

  As she spoke, those eyes actually began to wander over the bodies of Xiao Yun and his companions, looking as if they were choosing a son-in-law. Xu Wanjun and Lin Chuoyin were fine, after all they were women, but the other eight people were somewhat frightened, retreating in a flurry.

  "I say, Master Hong, your daughter won't grow up to be like you, will she?" Liu Yuanzhan finally couldn't help but ask the question he had been wanting to ask as he saw Hong Jiutong being so absurd.

  Hong Jiutong's face twitched slightly, and he said somewhat displeased, "What are you talking about? Although the little girl is a bit chubby, she is absolutely a stunning beauty who can suppress all other beauties. Forget it, I'll call her over and let her choose herself!"

  "Xin'er!"

  Before Liu Yuanchen could react, Hong Jiutong turned around and shouted loudly. His loud voice echoed in the quiet valley for a long time, attracting many people's attention. Some people looked displeased, but when they saw it was Hong Jiutong, they didn't say anything.

  Ke Xin, the name sounds quite nice. Xiao Yun and others couldn't help but have some illusions about the owner of this name. Generally speaking, girls with nice-sounding names, even if they don't look good, can't be too bad-looking.

  It's possible that Hong Jiutong's daughter is indeed a beautiful girl. The appearance of children often follows their parents, and although Hong Jiutong may not be handsome, it's possible his wife is a great beauty.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  Just as everyone was fantasizing in their hearts, the ground suddenly shook violently.

  "What? An earthquake?"

  Everyone's face was filled with shock and amazement, they couldn't help but look at each other in alarm. A chubby girl with two braids walked towards them, carrying a huge bell on her shoulder, every step she took made the ground shake slightly under the enormous weight.

  "Good heavens, what kind of monster is this?"

  "She won't be..."

  ……

  Several people swallowed their saliva, and the fat girl ran over with a loud crash, pressing the large bell on her shoulder against Hong Jiutong's face. "Dad, did you call me?"

  The ground shook violently, kicking up a large cloud of dust and debris. Xiao Yun and the others were shocked and retreated in haste. The fat girl looked at Hong Jiutong with a smile on her face, her eyes shining with excitement.

  Seeing everyone with their mouths agape and eyes about to pop out, Hong Jiutong seemed to feel a bit embarrassed too. He kicked the big bell with one foot, puffed out his beard and scolded, "Quickly put this thing away! You're all girls, how can you be so crude?"

  "Oh!"

  That chubby girl looked somewhat displeased, pouted her mouth, waved her hand and put the big bell into the storage bag. She turned to look at the Tianyin Sect crowd and said, "Dad, who are they?"

  "What are they? Impolite! This is Tianyin Sect's Liu Shishu, Zhao Shishu and Li Shishu, don't you hurry up and call them." Hong Jiutong said.

  "Oh!"

  That fatty responded with a sound, and hurriedly paid respects to Liu Yuanshan and the others. Her voice was actually very pleasant to hear, forming a stark contrast with her rough exterior.

  "Good, good!" Liu Yuanzhan's smile was somewhat stiff. After the fat girl finished paying her respects, he turned to Hong Jiutong and said, "Master Hong, your daughter is indeed, truly elegant and refined!"

  She was wearing a green outfit that barely wrapped around her extremely curvaceous body, which wasn't particularly tall or large, but rather medium-sized with exaggerated proportions. Her face was still passable, only looking a bit chubby without being as obese as Hong Jiutong, whose facial features were all scrunched up. Standing together, the father-daughter duo gave off an intangible sense of oppression that inspired fear in those who saw them.

  Perhaps Hong Jiutong heard the words behind Liu Yuanqu's words, but he didn't mind at all, and instead took it as a compliment, with an expression of great satisfaction on his face.

  May I know who's speaking?

  Xiao Yun and others' faces all became extremely strange, it was really hard to associate such a beautiful name with the fat girl in front of them. They said she was "outshining all the beauties", but with this figure, she could indeed crush all the beauties. It's said that fat girls are potential stocks, but this girl's potential is too great. The scene where she carried the big bell just now really left a deep impression on everyone's heart, and everyone couldn't help but shiver and try to hide behind others as much as possible.

  "Dad, why did you call me over?"

  Hong Kexin's eyes sparkled as she asked Hong Jiutong.

  Hong Jiutong smiled and pointed at the Tianyin Sect disciples, saying, "These are all senior brothers of the Tianyin Sect, each one a talented individual, far superior to those rotten potatoes in our own sect. Take a look, is there anyone you fancy?"

  "Dad, what are you doing?"

  Hong Kexin heard this and suddenly understood Hong Jiutong's intention. Apparently, she had experienced such things many times before, and her face instantly flushed with a red glow, looking like a shy and coy little girl.

  For some reason, seeing this scene, everyone felt a little uncomfortable in their stomachs. Liu Yuanzhan's face turned even darker. He had known that this person loved to cause trouble, but he hadn't expected that after so many years, his personality hadn't changed at all.

  "What's wrong?"

  Hong Jiutong shot a glance at Hong Kexin, his expression one of frustration and disappointment. He then scanned the crowd, his gaze falling on Lu Jianfeng.

  "Hey, young man, what's your name?" Hong Jiutong asked Lu Jianfeng, with his level of cultivation, he could see that Lu Jianfeng was the highest among this group of male disciples. Since he wanted to choose a son-in-law, naturally, he would choose the best one.

  Hong Jiutong pointed out, Lu Jianfeng's whole body trembled, almost falling to the ground with a thud. The others were like amnesty, immediately dispersing in all directions, afraid of getting burned by the fire. Looking at Lu Jianfeng's appearance as if disaster was about to strike, his face turned pale and lifeless. Then someone couldn't help but stifle a laugh, among whom Qin Yu was the most severe.

  "Junior, Junior Lu Jianfeng!"

  Lu Jianfeng glared at Qin Yu fiercely and quickly bowed to Hong Jiu, his forehead already covered in sweat.

  Hong Jiutong's gaze swept across Lu Jianfeng's body a few times, nodding and smiling continuously. "Not bad, at such a young age, you already have the realm of a mid-term music worker. Rarely is one both talented and handsome. Hmm, indeed not bad. Xin'er, come take a look, do you find him satisfactory?"

  "Senior!"

  Lu Jianfeng was shocked and hastily shouted loudly. Although Hong Jiutong was a person from the Zhongwang Palace, ordinary people who could get the attention of this great door school would be overjoyed, but this girl was too fat. Whether it was her figure or appearance, compared to Xu Wanjun, it was simply like heaven and earth, how could he possibly look up to her?

  "What?" Hong Jiutong furrowed his brow, his eyes staring intently at Lu Jianfeng.

  Lu Jianfeng swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "Junior, junior thanks senior for the kindness, but, junior is still young, and has no plans to get married for now..."

  "What did you say?" Hong Jiutong's face turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing this.

  Lu Jianfeng's face was sweating like rain, and suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, standing up straight and pointing at Xiao Yun beside him, "Senior, aren't you trying to pick the best one? This Xiao Shidi is actually the one who composed the Heavenly Music."

  "I..."

  Xiao Yun was completely caught off guard by Lu Jianfeng's sudden move, his facial expression froze instantly, and countless sheep galloped in his chest. At this moment, the only thing he wanted to do was curse loudly.

  "Tian Lai Qu?"

  Hong Jiutong was shocked by the words, and even Hong Kexin was full of curiosity and surprise as she looked at Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun couldn't help but take a step back under the pressure of the father-daughter duo's aura.

  His gaze swept across Xiao Yun's body, and a hint of disappointment flashed across Hong Jiutong's face. He turned to Lu Jianfeng with some annoyance, "Young man, speaking nonsense in front of your elders isn't very good, you know!"

  Hong Jiutong did not think that a young man from a later generation could create heavenly music.

  Originally still as calm as a vast pardon, Hong Jiutong's gaze turned back again, and Lu Jianfeng suddenly became tense once more. "Senior, every word I said is the truth! If Senior doesn't believe me, you can ask Liu Shifu and the others!"
