Chapter 1579 The Untamed 59
The rest of the things were not Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan's business. He just pointed out the areas that needed improvement in the Nie family's skills. As for how to improve them, it all depended on the Nie family's disciples' own wishes.
As for the fact that there is no one in the direct and branch branches of the Nie family who can change the martial arts, that is not Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan's business.
Nie Huaisang is a clever man. He knows that Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan are trying to avoid suspicion, which shows that he has seen through his little calculations. Therefore, he even directly pushed away the matter of changing the martial arts technique, for fear of being too deeply involved with the Nie family.
However, he was only slightly disappointed. Although the Nie family seemed to have recovered, in fact, the Nie family was in a state of lack of successors and was in great danger. That was why he offered Jiang Yanli conditions that were almost like marrying into the family's family, trying to form an alliance with the Jiang family in order to obtain their protection.
Now that Jiang Yanli has added a talented descendant to the Nie family's direct line, he is already very satisfied. If Jiang Yanli becomes estranged from him because of this, he will only regret that he cannot have another child with Jiang Yanli and may not be able to fulfill their pre-nuptial agreement.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan had a child. With this child as the heir of the Yunmeng Jiang family, the Nie family could also rely on Jiang Yanli's child to ensure decades of peace and safety.
Jiang Cheng went back and told Jiang Yanli about Nie Huaisang. Jiang Yanli didn't react at all and even couldn't help laughing. "Ah Cheng, why do you think I'm someone who indulges in love?"
Jiang Cheng sighed inwardly and said, "Love is like drinking water; only the person who drinks it knows whether it's hot or cold. There's nothing good or bad about indulging in love. Sister, as the only daughter of the Jiang family, even if a disaster strikes, your brothers will bear it for you."
Jiang Yanli smiled softly, her eyes filled with emotion, "I know how good Ah Cheng and Ah Xian are, so I don't want you to worry about me."
"I've long known that Nie Huaisang is a man of deep scheming, but no matter how deep his calculations are, I can tell that he is a man who knows how to be grateful. So when I needed a husband, he promised that I could stay in Lotus Pier most of the time after marriage. Just this one thing made me fall in love."
Jiang Cheng reluctantly reminded Jiang Yanli, "But now your and Nie Huaisang's eldest son has been sent to the unclean world and has the surname Nie."
Jiang Yanli remained unconcerned. "We were indeed wrong about this matter, but with that child here, at least three generations of the Nie family won't oppose the Jiang family."
"I've already made up my mind. As Jiang's nephew, the child can certainly learn the simple techniques of Jiang's disciples, but I don't think it's necessary to learn more profound techniques. If he really wants to learn swordsmanship, then I will teach him some of the things I have learned myself. I can't do more than that."
Returning to his own courtyard, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh, deeply regretting that he had agreed to the marriage between Jiang Yanli and Nie Huaisang.
Lan Zhan hated the Nie family for causing trouble and decided to teach Nie Huaisang a lesson that would leave a lasting impression on him.
What’s worse is that two months later, Jiang Yanli was found to be about three months pregnant, and her and Nie Huaisang’s eldest son was only one and a half years old!
Jiang Cheng had to hold his nose and help Jiang Yanli take care of the baby. This was a beautiful little girl. Jiang Yanli loved her so much that she wanted to stay with her all the time. Even when the little girl could run and jump, she did not relax her care for the little girl.
In accordance with the agreement between Jiang Yanli and Nie Huaisang, the little girl took the Jiang family's surname and became the eldest daughter of the Yunmeng Jiang family. After being implicitly reminded by Jiang Cheng, Jiang Yanli strictly divided her dowry into two parts, giving equal weight to the two children.
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows the difference between having the surname Jiang and not. Jiang Yanli really only passed on the basic skills of the Jiang family to her eldest son, as well as her own cultivation insights. The child was also well-educated by Nie Huaisang. Rumors outside said that he had the same demeanor as Jiang Cheng when he was young, which made the little guy very happy.
The Nie family's martial arts skills were modified in the hands of the little fellow, but the part about dealing with evil spirits was not completely eliminated. After all, practicing swordsmanship can easily produce evil spirits, and evil spirits and evil spirits have the same origin. This makes Nie's swordsmanship much more powerful than before, and there is no need to worry about the danger of evil spirits entering the body.
Nie Mingjue relied on the modified martial arts of his nephew to extend his life for nearly thirty years.
It's a pity that his aptitude is not that high, and he has been practicing the problematic martial arts for so many years, even to the point where the evil spirit has entered his heart and body. His foundation has been damaged long ago, and he has not been able to make up for it in time.
However, he had an epiphany in his later years and successfully passed on the content of his epiphany, which was considered to be not disappointing to the entire Nie family.
Nie Huaisang plotted against Jiang Cheng only a few times in the second half of his life. After that, he kept to himself and took care of the internal affairs of the Nie family for his son. Using the name of the Jiang family, he rebuilt the entire Nie family's structure.
It's just that his aptitude is really not good, and it is difficult for him to make obvious progress in his cultivation. However, at least with Jiang Yanli turning a blind eye, he practiced the basic Jiang family exercises given by his son, and successfully built his foundation. After all, he accompanied his children for more than a hundred years.
Later, everyone discovered that their lifespans were extended a lot after their cultivation progressed, but correspondingly, it became much more difficult to have offspring. Lan Huan finally gave birth to the heir of the Gusu Lan family just before Lan Qiren's lifespan expired. Fortunately, Lan Qiren advanced again that night, and his lifespan was extended by another fifty years, which allowed him to raise an excellent heir for the Lan family.
As for Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan, they were a pair of Taoist companions. When the child was in his fifties, he gave up the position of the Jiang clan's patriarch. The child's cultivation had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and he was only one step away from becoming a god. He dominated his peers for thousands of years until he followed his two fathers to ascend to heaven.
At that time, cultivator families and sects coexisted. The big families transformed and established sects early on, recruiting outstanding talents from all over the world, and their development and growth became increasingly obvious. Later, with Jiang Cheng taking the lead, the sects were completely hidden from the mortal world, and they would only send people down the mountain during the grand event of recruiting disciples once every ten years.
The Gusu Lan family naturally followed suit and became the second sect to disappear from the mortal world. The Nie family and the Jin family also responded one after another. From then on, only small families hid in the mortal world, and the order of the mortal world was jointly guarded by the original four major families, now the four major sects.
Jiang Cheng was originally an outsider, and the fairy world still needed the ascended fairies to maintain it. After Lan Zhan disappeared, he also left this world. Before leaving, he met Wei Ying, but Wei Ying looked haggard. The two had not seen each other for nearly ten thousand years and had nothing to say to each other.
After watching Jiang Cheng leave, Wei Ying's soul returned to heaven and earth. After learning about Lan Zhan's obsession with Jiang Cheng, he finally chose to guard this world where Jiang Cheng had been alone and not let himself disturb him.
