In the early morning of the next day, after eating breakfast, Chu Tian walked out of the room and came to the courtyard. 

After cultivating all night, Chu Tian succeeded in refining another spirit essence Gu. 

Although he hadn't slept much last night, he was in good spirits and couldn't see the slightest tiredness. 

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Tian came to the Waste Bureau of Qianyanghou Mansion and started a busy day of work. 

In the evening, like yesterday, Chu Tian led a dozen carriages, pulling the mass of feces newly made by everyone in the Hou Mansion, and slowly drove out of the city. 

As night fell, Chu Tian returned to his room and sat on his chair. 

After a while, the tired old man Bai walked in from the outside in a grey robe and gave Chu Tian a salute: "Third prince, you told the old slave to come over late at night during the day, is there something wrong?" 

Chu Tian glanced at the other party casually, He smiled and said: "Old Bai, how do I treat you on weekdays?" "The third son has a gentle temperament and a kind heart. Whether it's in the past or in trouble now, he treats the old slave like a family, and the 

old slave is grateful." 

said very respectfully. 

Although he said so, there was a trace of panic that was hard to detect in the depths of his eyes. 

"Since I treat you like family, why did you secretly poison me, and you were ordered to monitor me all the time and report all my movements to others?" 

Chu Tian slammed the table and stood up. 

thump! 

The moment Chu Tian roared, Old Bai's knees softened and he knelt directly on the ground, his body trembling and weeping bitterly. 

"The third son, the old slave can't do anything. If the old slave doesn't do what they say, the dozens of people in the old slave's family will not be saved. I beg the third son to spare his life!" 

Bai Lao cried. 

"Humph! Sure enough, it's you!" 

Chu Tian's face was ashen, and he snorted. 

In the entire Hou Mansion, the person he trusted most was Bai Lao. If Bai Lao was secretly bribed by Chu Xi and others, it would be easier to poison him. 

As for monitoring reports, it is also a natural thing. 

"The old slave murdered the third son, the old slave should die, just beg the third son not to tell the Marquis about this, the old slave now apologizes with death!" 

Bai Lao kowtowed a few times, suddenly pulled out a dagger from his arms, rushed towards He stabbed hard in his own heart. 

However, before the dagger pierced the heart, it was kicked away. 

Bai Lao suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Tian who was slowly retracting his right foot with a puzzled face. 

The reason why he resolutely pleaded guilty just now was because he was afraid that Chu Tian would report the poisoning to the Marquis of Qianyang. 

In that case, not only would he have to die, but his family would also be sent to prison and suffer the most severe punishment. 

Although Chutian is no longer beautiful and destitute, at least on the bright side, he is still the third son of Qianyang Houfu! 

Poisoning and murdering Lord Hou's son is a serious crime, which will bring disaster to the nine clans. 

"Get up, you are just being forced to do something wrong. It's not you who are to blame, but those who are behind the scenes." 

Chu Tian said. 

Old Bai was overjoyed immediately, and at the same time a strong shame rose in his heart. 

Such a kind-hearted third son, he was actually blinded by lard and secretly poisoned the other party, which is really a sin. 

Chu Tian saw that Bai Lao stood up again, and continued: "From now on, you continue to secretly report my daily movements to those people, don't let them have any doubts, everything will be business as usual." 

"Yes, the old slave obeys!" 

Although not Understand Chu Tian's mind, but Bai Lao still bowed and exited the room. 

"Hehe, boy, you have been harmed so badly, but you can hold your breath." 

After Bai Lao left, a chuckle came out. 

Chu Tian shook his head and sighed: "Now the enemy is strong and I am weak. If I start a snake, it will be me who will die. Let their mother and son continue to think that I am a useless waste. 

" , your mind is calm, far beyond your peers!" 

Ba Lao praised. 

"Humph! Remember this account first, and sooner or later you will have to settle it with them!" 

Chu Tian snorted angrily. 

Immediately, he sat cross-legged by the bed again and began to practice the "Five Elements Diamond Art". 

Three days passed by in a hurry. 

Early that morning, Chu Tian received a notice from the housekeeper of the Hou residence, asking him to dress neatly and attend the engagement ceremony of Chu Xi and Su Xishui in the council hall of the Hou residence. 

Chu Tian changed into a clean white robe, carrying the silver bow on his back, and rushed to the council hall without haste. 

When he walked into the council hall, he found that most of the people on both sides had already arrived, so he obediently stood aside. 

On the main seat of the council hall, a middle-aged and elegant man dressed in brocade clothes sat upright, next to a forty-year-old lady in red palace clothes. 

Due to proper maintenance, there is hardly a trace of wrinkles on this lady's charming face. 

The elegant man is naturally the Marquis of Qianyang Chu Changqing, and the lady in the palace clothes is Mrs. Liu, the lady of the Hou Ye! 

When Liu Shi saw Chu Tian appear, there was an imperceptible sneer at the corner of his mouth, but it returned to normal in an instant. 

As for Qianyang Marquis Chu Changqing, his youngest son walked in, and he didn't even look at it! 

Chu Xi and Chu Li brothers stood together.

Chu Xi's eyes were always fixed on the slim, tall girl in a green dress on the opposite seat, her face full of obsession. 

Chu Li saw the silver bow that Chu Tian was carrying at a glance, and immediately became angry and clenched his fist tightly. 

Feeling Chu Li's eyes that could almost kill someone in the air, Chu Tian smiled disdainfully, and immediately looked at the girl in the green skirt on the opposite seat. 

"I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, this little girl Xi Shui has become even more attractive." 

Chu Tian sighed in a low voice. 

The girl in the green dress opposite was none other than Su Xishui, who used to get along with Chu Tian almost day and night. 

Although Su Xishui looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, she wore a long green dress to show off her slender and tall figure, her velvet-white neck was slightly raised, and she had an almost flawless angel face, which attracted attention wherever she went. Come to the attention of the people. 

Su Xishui seemed to notice that Chu Xi and Chu Tian were looking at her at the same time, she smiled at them and then returned to normal. 

Chu Xi was immediately excited. 

As long as the engagement ceremony is completed today, it can basically be said that Su Xishui is her person, and it will be a grand wedding soon to be officially confirmed! 

In comparison, Chu Tian calmed down a lot, facing the other side, smiling and nodding. 

The union between Chu Xi and Su Xishui is a foregone conclusion. Although there was a slight pain in his heart, now his heart is calm. 

Next to Su Xishui sat a middle-aged man with a rough face. 

The man is not handsome, his eyes are sunken, the bridge of his nose is high, and there is a faint aura emanating from his body. 

This person is Su Xishui's father, Su Shilun, the head of the Su family! 

In addition to these people in the council hall, there are also the senior elders of the two great families of Chu and Su, all of them sitting together. 

"Hehe, Xi Shui is so young, and she is so beautiful. Brother Su has raised a good daughter!" 

Chu Changqing praised with a smile. 

There was a smile on his face, and his heart also looked forward to it. 

Su Xishui is not only beautiful, but also very talented in cultivation. Now he has the seventh-level cultivation level of the body-refinement realm. When he combines with his eldest son, Chu Xi, he will give birth to a son in the future, and he will be able to greatly continue the century-old incense of Qianyang Houfu. ! 

Hearing Chu Changqing's compliment, Su Shilun shook his head helplessly: "Alas, the women's college is not in the middle, it is her blessing that Xishui and the eldest prince can form a pair of mandarin ducks, and it is also yours and my family's. Blessings!" 

As the two most powerful families in Qianyang County, the marriage and alliance between the Chu family and the Su family will have a significant impact on the entire Qianyang County, and even the Marquis of Qianyang may not be able to take this opportunity. Go one step further and become a frontier official! 

"Brother Su said very much. You and I will benefit from a combination, and a fight will hurt both. Xi'er and Xishui are a match made in heaven. We, the elders, should naturally be fulfilled!" 

Chu Changqing said with a nod. 

Next, the high-level members of Chu and Su who were present chatted casually, and the content mostly consisted of some recent folk anecdotes in Qianyang County. 

After a while. 

"Okay, Brother Su, I won't say much more gossip. Here's the betrothal gift prepared by my Chu family, and I invite Brother Su to take a look!" 

Chu Changqing clapped his palms and smiled lightly. 

Soon, three young disciples came on stage, each holding a red wooden box, walked slowly to the middle of the council hall, and carefully opened the box in their hands. 

"These three boxes are three gifts prepared by my Chu family, the first one is a hundred pieces of mid-grade spirit stones, the second one is a bottle of the heart blood of the red-horned elk, and the third one is fifty spirit-gathering pills. !" 

There was a hint of pride in Chu Changqing's words. 

hiss! 

The voice fell, and the sound of gasping for air immediately came out of the council hall. 

One hundred middle-grade spirit stones are equivalent to ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, and the heart and blood of the red-horned elk is an excellent help for the ninth-level martial artist to advance to the spirit level. 

As for the final spirit-gathering pill, it was a precious pill for spiritual practitioners to practice daily, and its value was much higher than the combined value of the first two. 

Qianyang Houguo is really generous! 

Standing in the corner, Chu Tian also clicked his tongue secretly. 

Ever since he was a child, he had never seen a middle-grade spirit stone. He never expected that Qian Yanghou would take out a hundred yuan at once, and he had never even heard of the other two gifts. 

"Hehe, it's worth making a fuss about such a little bit of rubbish, I really don't know!" 

Balao's disdain came from the broken sword wrapped in layers on Chu Tian's chest. 

Chu Tian pouted and laughed dryly. 

As the spirit of the Immortal Slaying Sabre, Balao had followed big figures like saints before, so he naturally looked down on these gifts from Qianyang Houfu. 

"Okay, okay! Lord Hou really is sincere. All of these betrothal gifts have been accepted by my Su family!" 

Su Shilun laughed heartily and cupped his hands at Chu Changqing. 

Immediately, the three of the Su family walked out and received three gifts. 

Seeing this scene, Chu Changqing nodded with satisfaction and accepted the betrothal gift, which meant that the Su family agreed to marry the Chu family and could not go back at will. 

"Xishui, thank you Hou Ye soon, your future father-in-law!" 

Su Shilun turned and said to Su Xishui who was beside him. 

Su Xishui nodded, stood up, bowed to Chu Changqing who was in the main seat, and said softly, "Thank you for the gift, but I'm sorry, Xishui is not going to marry the eldest son Chu Xi, but the third son Chu. God." 

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent!
