Chapter 897 Zhang Family’s Attitude

Zhang Xuemei was standing on the high platform. When she saw Lu Chen catch the hydrangea, she was a little surprised.

After taking a closer look at Lu Chen, a cunning look flashed in her beautiful eyes under the veil.

Then, he smiled and whispered a few words to the female manager beside him, then turned around gracefully and left.

Immediately afterwards, two monks from the Zhang family, dressed in guard uniforms and looking tall and strong, appeared in front of Lu Chen like ghosts.

There was obvious disdain in their eyes, as if they were looking at an insignificant little person. But out of courtesy, they still politely said to Lu Chen:

"Sir, please follow us to the Zhang Family Mansion."

Lu Chen looked at the two people who were half a head taller than him, and felt frightened. He quickly explained:

"Brothers! Excuse me, can you not go? I just got the hydrangea by accident.

How about…how about I return it to you and just pretend that this incident never happened?"

As he spoke, Lu Chen handed the hydrangea in his hand to the two of them, his eyes full of pleading.

However, the two guards did not take the bouquet. Instead, they looked at him coldly without saying a word, but the threat in their eyes was obvious.

Seeing this, Lu Chen had no choice but to nod and agree.

When some people in the crowd saw Lu Chen acting like this, they immediately started to talk one after another, and many cultivators looked at Lu Chen with contempt and disdain.

Then, a big man walked in front to lead the way, Lu Chen followed closely behind, and another big man followed behind, as if he was afraid that Lu Chen would run away.

The three of them flew into the air one after another and left the city center square.

Along the way, the two of them had indifferent expressions, as if they didn't have high expectations of Lu Chen.

Soon, the three of them landed in front of a magnificent mansion.

I saw that the entire mansion was located between mountains and shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

The mansion covers a vast area, with a simple and elegant architectural style and magnificent momentum, demonstrating the dignity and majesty of the Zhang Mansion.

The gate of the mansion is dozens of feet high, carved from a single piece of bluestone, and inlaid with countless sparkling gems.

A huge plaque is hung on the lintel, with the two big characters "Zhang Mansion" inscribed on it. The characters are vigorous and powerful, with dragons and phoenixes flying in a dancing style.

There are two huge statues of monsters on both sides of the gate, which are majestic and lifelike.

After entering the gate, there is a wide bluestone avenue with exotic flowers and plants planted on both sides, and the fragrance is overwhelming.

At the end of the avenue is a magnificent palace whose roof is paved with golden glazed tiles that sparkle in the sunlight.

On both sides of the main hall are side halls, which have a similar architectural style to the main hall but are smaller in scale.

In addition to the palace, Zhang Mansion also has many other buildings, such as gardens, rockery, ponds, pavilions, towers, etc.

These buildings are distributed in every corner of the mansion, complementing the palace and forming a magnificent picture.

After entering the mansion, Lu Chen was taken to a spacious hall, which was luxuriously decorated and had a solemn atmosphere.

At this moment, the elders of the Zhang family were sitting in the main seats, seemingly waiting for Lu Chen's arrival.

As soon as he entered the door and took a casual look, Lu Chen suddenly felt a chill on his back, because among the seven or eight people sitting there, Lu Chen could not tell the cultivation level of any of them.

If I am not careful, I might not even have a chance to escape. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart:

"Oh no, the Zhang family is making such a fuss, could it be that I am really going to become the son-in-law of the Zhang family?"

After a brief thought, Lu Chen could only bite the bullet, try to remain humble as he entered the store, and then bowed respectfully.

Fortunately, the elders of the Zhang family were relatively friendly towards Lu Chen, but there was still some scrutiny in their eyes.

At this time, an old man from the Zhang family, sitting in the main seat, smiled and asked:

"Sir, could you please tell me your origins so that an old man like me can meet my grandson-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen replied respectfully:

“I am Lu Chen, a junior from the Cangqiong Continent, and I just ascended to the Immortal Realm today.

I don’t understand many things, so please forgive me if I have offended you.”

The old man nodded upon hearing this and continued with a smile:

"Very good, since Master Lu caught the embroidered ball and has just ascended to heaven, it means that he is destined to be with our Zhang family.

You stay here first, as for the wedding, it won’t be too late to wait a few days.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen dared not have any objections and could only nod respectfully in agreement.

Then someone led Lu Chen to his residence.

However, what Lu Chen didn't know was that as soon as he left, the faces of the Zhang family members changed and they were no longer as friendly as before.

At this time, Zhang Xuemei slowly walked out from the side hall, and then asked coquettishly:

"Grandpa, you went to such great lengths to find a husband, but in the end you got a kid like this, and he just ascended to heaven not long ago. This is really too much!

Besides, I don’t want to marry such a loser.”

However, as soon as Zhang Xuemei finished speaking, the middle-aged monk beside her immediately scolded her sternly in a low voice:

"Xiaoxue, don't be rude. Your grandfather has his reasons for doing this. Why don't you apologize to him quickly?"

Zhang Xuemei did not do as she was told but glared at the middle-aged monk. Then she sat down next to the old man and held his arm, looking very intimate.

The old man Zhang Xuemei smiled kindly and said:

"Don't worry, Xiaoxue, how could Grandpa bear to let you marry such an unknown person?

But grandpa did have some considerations, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen that boy specifically.

Don't underestimate this Lu Chen, he is a cultivator who practices the Dharma Body. With him around, Xiaoxue, you will have a better chance of winning in the secret realm."

Zhang Xuemei smiled happily upon hearing this:

"I know that grandpa treats me the best. Don't worry, grandpa. I will not let the family down this time."

Then, everyone started talking about other topics...

As for Lu Chen, after leaving the hall, he was taken to a spacious and comfortable room. The room was decorated very elegantly and had all the items on display.

After Lu Chen had packed up, he sat alone in the room and fell into deep thought.

He thought to himself that since he had already accepted the offer and gained the recognition of the Zhang family, he should seize this opportunity, make good use of the Zhang family's resources, and improve his strength as soon as possible.

At the same time, we must find a way to figure out what the so-called secret realm of earthly immortals is like.

Only in this way can we better cope with various challenges that may be encountered in the future.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen no longer hesitated. He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to try to transform the true energy in his body into immortal energy.

This is an extremely important step, because only by transforming true essence into immortal essence can he truly enter the realm of immortals.

However, Lu Chen soon discovered that this process was much more difficult than he had imagined.

You must know that there is an essential difference between true essence and immortal essence.

True essence is formed by absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, while immortal essence is formed by absorbing the immortal spirit energy.

In the fairy world, the air contains a large amount of fairy energy, and cultivators need to absorb the fairy energy from it to improve their cultivation level.

Of course, they can also absorb the immortal energy in the immortal crystal to practice, but this method is relatively expensive and ordinary people can hardly afford it.

The biggest problem Lu Chen was facing at this time was that his body had not yet fully adapted to the nourishment of the immortal energy, and therefore he was unable to successfully transform his true essence into immortal energy.

This made him very distressed and he didn't know how to solve this problem.

Although he still had some immortal crystals, it was obviously not appropriate to take them out now. If he was discovered by the Zhang family, he would not be able to explain why he could take out immortal crystals right after ascending.

But after a cup of tea,

Lu Chen's brows slightly frowned...
