    After traveling for two days, the convoy finally walked out of the desert and came to an apricot edge with crystal clear water.  Seeing this, Shui Youning ordered the convoy to stop here for an hour so that everyone could take a bath and replenish water.  Just when a group of guards were overjoyed and ready to strip naked and jump into the river, Jiang Chen suddenly changed his expression and said, "No! A large group of people flew over! And they all look like they have high levels of cultivation!"  Although his cultivation level was lower than Shui You Ning's, his consciousness was stronger than hers, so he sensed the powerful aura coming from far away first.  "What? It's flying over?" Shui Youning was also shocked. Those who can fly are foundation-building monks or Qi-refining monks who have flying magic weapons.  But no matter which one it is, it is a powerful enemy that the caravan is currently difficult to deal with.  So, she immediately shouted: "Quick! Form a circle around the cart! Set up a barrel formation to resist!" Just as the guards began to set up their formations in a panic, dozens of black spots suddenly appeared in the sky  , and flew towards them at a rapid speed.  Jiang Chen's heart suddenly tightened, because he had already seen that these monks were all Foundation Establishment Stage monks, and among them there was a white-haired old man whose cultivation level he couldn't even see through. He was most likely the ancestor of the Golden Core Stage.  But just when the palms of the guards were sweating, Shui Youning's expression relaxed and she said with joy: "Don't panic, everyone, we are one of our own!" At this moment, the group of monks had fallen from the sky and stood in the convoy.  Next to him, the leader was the white-haired old man in the Golden Core stage.  After he saw Shui Youning, he immediately strode forward and said with excitement: "Girl Youning, are you okay? Is the purple crystal sand still there?" Shui Youning hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying softly.  Said: "You Ning has met her second uncle, so she is lucky this time. Except for Uncle En who was injured, there were only more than ten guards casualties. Amethyst Sand was finally escorted out." This white-haired old man is Shui.  The second elder of the family, Shui Tianzhun, stood next to him, a fat man in his thirties who was in the late stage of foundation building.  He has a face full of flesh, and his appearance is similar to that of Shui Tianzhun. He is probably his son.  After the fat man heard this, he immediately snorted coldly: "If that's the case, it means that what you encountered are just ordinary bandits, not members of the Wang family at all. It's not worth mentioning at all, but you hurriedly asked Shui Qin to catch up  The news made everyone in the family very nervous. You Miss Shui is really good at teasing people!" Shui Youning's pretty face suddenly changed after hearing this, and she said angrily: "Shui Xiang.  Zhong. You are full of nonsense! Do you know? The enemy we face is led by Wang Quan and assisted by Wang Zhen and Wang Feng. There is also a beast trainer who can control the sand lizard.  Wang Feng has also broken through to the late stage of foundation building. When we encounter an enemy of this strength, how can we not ask for help?" After hearing this, Shui Xiangzhong said with disdain: "Shui Youning, you are really good at telling lies.  It¡¯s true that the Wang family has dispatched so many people, and Wang Feng has also broken through to the late stage of foundation building. Your team has been killed and wiped out. Can you still escape?¡± At this time, Shui Qin had already run up panting,  He only had the initial cultivation level of Foundation Establishment, which was behind Shui Xiangzhong and others, so he fell behind when flying.  He had already heard the dispute between the two and quickly defended Shui Youning: "Master Zhong, I really didn't lie to you! When I broke out, I even slapped Wang Zhen. Fortunately, Wang Feng was  You went after Shui Yuan, but you didn't chase me. Otherwise, my subordinates wouldn't have been able to escape and report. " "I don't know if you are lying. Now that our Shui family is in turmoil, you are making a fuss and making everyone panic.  " Shui Xiangzhong said sarcastically.  He obviously didn't believe what Shui Youning and Shui Qin said.  Shui Youning was so angry that her pretty face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. At this moment, she flew to a large car next to her, suddenly reached out and grabbed someone from the car, and then threw her to Shui Xiangzhong with all her strength.  In front of him, he said coldly: "Shui Xiangzhong, keep your dog eyes open, this is Wang Quan! He was just captured alive by us!" Looking at the young man who was tied up like a rice dumpling, his face was pale and in a state of embarrassment  man.  Shui Xiangzhong naturally recognized him. This was Wang Quan, the second young master of the Wang family who had always been at odds with the Shui family.  "Ah! It's really Wang Quan!" The other monks from the Shui family on the side also recognized this person.  When Wang Quan saw this, he held on with force and said inwardly: "Your Shui family had better let me go, the second young master! Otherwise, my Wang family and Lin family will never let it go!" "Wang Quan, you bastard! You have become a prisoner.  How dare you be so arrogant!" Shui Youning was so angry that he took a step forward and said, "Pah, pah, pah, pah", and slapped him four times, causing his nose to be bruised and his face to be swollen.  "You Ning, wait a minute, take him back first! Let the elder brother suffer! I believe your words!" Shuitian Zhun hurriedly stopped him.  Now that the facts are before his eyes, he can't help but not believe it.  Shui Xiangzhong's face was a little worried because he was still questioning Shui Youning and Shui Qin's words just now, but he was about toI was slapped in the face by the facts.  So, he could only say angrily: "I don't believe that with your strength, Shui Youning, you can deal with Wang Quan, Wang Feng and Wang Quan at the same time" "That's right! It's indeed not my fault, but brother Jiang Chen's.  That's why we were spared!" Shui Youning pointed at Jiang Chen who was standing not far from her.  Jiang Chen had actually arrived at the front of the team a long time ago, but when he saw that the person coming was a member of the Shui family, he didn't intend to step forward.  But he didn't expect that Shui Youning and Shui Xiangzhong would drag him out again due to their quarrel.  Shui Xiangzhong looked Jiang Chen up and down, and felt that except for his handsome appearance, everything about this man was ordinary. His cultivation was only in the early stage of foundation building, and even Shui Youning was not as good as him. How could such a person defeat Wang Feng?  He immediately frowned and said doubtfully: "Shui Youning, could this person be your lover? In order for him to marry into my Shui family, you did a great job on him."  " When Shui Youning heard this, he was immediately ashamed and angry, and spat: "What nonsense are you talking about? He is a powerful disciple of the Tianmo Sect. Wang Zhen and Wang Feng were both killed by him. Although Wang Quan was killed by me,  He was captured, but it all depended on his interception.  More than 200 people in our caravan can testify!  If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me, Shui Youning, for turning against me and asking the elders to punish you!  " After Shui Xiangzhong heard this, he immediately shut up knowingly. Although he still didn't believe it. But listening to Shui Youning's words, if he questions the matter again, he will fall out. By then, Shui Youning will  So many witnesses proved that Jiang Chen had made great contributions and was a benefactor to the Shui family. If he was disrespectful to the Shui family's benefactor, the family owner would probably punish him by facing the wall for half a year and apologize.  Then I would be even more embarrassed. ¡°Humph!  Little bitch, let me let you run wild for a few days until the clan meeting is held.  Make you look good again!  Shui Xiangzhong said bitterly. At this time, Shui Tianzhun came forward again. After appeasing Shui Youning and Jiang Chen, he announced that the two teams had merged into one team, and then continued on the road towards Xiangyang City. Jiang  Chen Ziran was invited into Shui Youning's beast carriage again. After eating two cookies, Shui Youning raised his head and said faintly: "Brother Jiang, you must be wondering why Shui Xiangzhong was there just now.  Are you going to be so hostile to me?" "Yes!  It stands to reason that although you and him are not biological brothers and sisters, they are still cousins. How could the family be so quarrelsome?  Are they targeting you everywhere?" Jiang Chen was indeed a little surprised. "In the final analysis, this is all caused by the word "power"!  "Shui Youning sighed. "It turns out that a big family like the Shui family has many branches. The three largest branches are the eldest branch, the second branch and the third branch. Most of the previous heads of the family were in these three branches.  The current head of the Shui family is Shui Youning's father, Shui Tianji, and the second elder and third elder of the Shui family are Shui Tianzhui and Shui Tiancheng respectively.  The infant monk held the position of chief elder in the family, but he basically ignored the affairs of the family. The matter of establishing the successor of the family head was always discussed by the Shui Clan Elders Council when the new head of the family succeeded.  Please attend. "According to the Shui family's practice, any young person who has reached the middle stage of foundation building and is under the age of thirty will be considered a potential disciple and eligible to compete for the position of successor to the family head.  And currently there are children of the Shui family who meet this requirement.  They are me, my sister Shui Yuening, Shui Xiangyong from the third room, and Shui Xiangzhong you just met. Although he looks more than thirty years old, in fact, he is only twenty-seven years old, older than me.  Only four years older.  " Shui Youning introduced. After a pause, she continued: "According to the rules, the head of the family usually appoints two heirs, namely the first heir and the second heir, so as to prevent one of them from having an accident.  The family legacy is interrupted.  Once he is established as the heir to the family head, the family will focus on cultivating immortality resources such as elixirs, magic weapons, and talismans, and carry out key training.  At the same time, the heirs of the family will also be allowed to take over some of the family's internal management affairs, and can participate in the family elders' meeting, which is a very important power.  " "So, Shui Xiangzhong and Shui Xiangyong are eager for this position and want to become the next head of the family.  So not only did they mobilize people from the second and third bedrooms to support the two of them, they also tried every means to attack my sister and me.  They know that they are inferior to us in their ability to handle family affairs, and they cannot surpass our sisters in magical powers.  So he found another way to spread rumors within the family.  After all, a woman has to get married, and then she will be faced with the matter of establishing an heir to the head of the family, so why bother messing around.  " "Moreover, in the recent period, Wang Quan, the second young master of the Wang family, and Lin Yusheng, the third young master of the Lin family, have asked someone to propose marriage to my father, saying that they would marry my sister and me, which further fueled their arrogance until a month later.  Before, my sister and I publicly announced in our family that we would not get married, which put an end to these gossips" When Jiang Chen heard this, he was shocked and said: "You Ning, you are not getting married?" "It's not that you are not getting married.  , but not to get married!  ?When Shui Youning said this, a blush appeared on her pretty face, and she said shyly: "Our Shui family also had a time when a woman was the head of the house. At this time, if the female head of the house refused to give up her position as head of the house and wanted to get married, the married woman would  The husband must only be the son-in-law of the family, and the children born to him must also have the surname Shui, not the husband's surname. At the same time, the husband must sign a contract when he marries a child, stipulating that he cannot participate in family meetings or hold any position in the family.  You are not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the Shui family" After hearing this, Jiang Chen stuck out his tongue. This condition was too insulting. He was treating his adopted son-in-law as a breeding tool.  Shui Youning was obviously aware of this, so she said quietly: "So, such harsh conditions are very humiliating for men, so not to mention the big cultivator families, even many casual cultivators are not willing. So, I  Almost without exception, the people married by the female head of the Shui family are unscrupulous cultivators with low cultivation, lazy, and incompetent." Then she explained: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether we sisters are the heads of the family or not.  But the key point is that Shui Xiangzhong and Shui Xiangyong only know how to fight for power and suppress dissidents. They know nothing about running a business. If the Shui family falls into the hands of these two people, they will be defeated in less than twenty years.  Absolutely. It was only after the strong persuasion of my father and several elders in my family that I stood up to compete with them for the position of the head of the family!" Jiang Chen nodded silently. It seems that every family has its own difficulties. Just imagine.  A small Demon Soul Peak is full of internal fighting.  What's more, what about a great cultivating family like the Shui family, whose strength is comparable to that of the Tianmo Sect? The motorcade rumbled forward, Jiang Chen and Shui Youning sat quietly, neither of them spoke anymore, both of them had something on their minds.  and worries
