After hearing Shen Ruiling's words, Du Wenfu was stunned, and his face immediately showed an ugly look.

……

The reason why he wants to marry Shen again is not only to find a reliable ally for the Du family, but also to help his great granddaughter find a place to rely on.

Indeed, it is not so easy for a weak woman to inherit the huge foundation of the Du family.

We not only need to face the difficulties of those collateral elders in the clan, but also beware of the attacks of "jackals, tigers and leopards" outside.

So Du Wenfu wanted to help his great granddaughter find someone to rely on in the future while he was still alive, and also help the family find a reliable ally.

There is also a reason why Du Wenfu will fall in love with Shen Ruiling.

For one thing, he is interested in the strength of the Shen family behind Shen Ruiling.

Although the Shen family still doesn't seem to leak on the surface, Du Wenfu knows in his heart that the Shen family can't talk with the past.

With the help of the external force of the Shen family, his great granddaughter can not only better control the family, but also deter those coveted outside.

At the same time, it also helped the family find a reliable ally and prepared for the next turmoil in Lingnan.

Second, what he sees is Shen Ruiling's talent now.

Shen Ruiling not only had the peak cultivation in the middle of foundation building at a young age, but also surprised Du Wenfu, who has lived for more than 200 years.

In his opinion, Shen Ruiling should be a man of great luck.

If his Du family can have some relationship with Shen Ruiling now, when Shen Ruiling will soar to the sky in the future, his Du family will be able to take advantage of the situation!

But now, unexpectedly, Shen Ruiling firmly rejected him, which surprised him.

After all, he almost took the whole Du family as a dowry.

As long as the two of them become partners, the gesture of the Shen family will reach into the Du family and begin to erode the power of the Du family.

Therefore, in any case, it was his Shen family who made a lot of money and his Du family suffered a loss.

But Shen Ruiling refused directly and firmly!

On the other side, Shen Ruiling couldn't help laughing bitterly.

The purpose of his coming to the Du family this time, in fact, the marriage has been solved.

However, he would definitely not agree to form a Taoist companion with the nun of the Du family.

When she became a Taoist priest with this nun of the Du family, their two families really formed a solid alliance.

But this is more unnecessary trouble than a simple alliance.

First of all, the appearance of this female monk is bound to disrupt his normal cultivation plan and even affect his dream.

Secondly, he knew in his heart the purpose of Du Wenfu's marriage.

If they marry, he and the Shen family will be entangled more closely with the interests of the Du family.

However, he did not want to participate in the troubles of the Du family, nor did he want the family to participate.

Although on the surface, it is indeed his Shen family that occupies some advantages, while the Du family is in a passive weakness.

But Shen Ruiling knew that the old man Du Wenfu couldn't stay behind.

Once the two families get married, the Shen family will need to provide help and assistance to the Du family. However, it's hard to say whether they can profit from it. In the end, it may just be in vain!

In fact, Shen Ruiling also thought about whether to let his fourth brother Shen Ruizhi marry the Du family.

However, after much consideration, Shen Ruiling gave up the plan.

The young woman of the Du family, although he just met once, he also saw something.

This female practitioner is very young, at most in her early thirties. At this age, she can build a foundation successfully. Presumably, her spiritual root qualification should be very excellent.

Shen Ruizhi, his fourth brother, is only a sanlinggen qualification. It is very difficult to break through the later stage of foundation construction without some opportunities.

So even if their family is willing to let Shen Ruizhi get married, the Du family will not easily agree here.

In that case, Shen Ruiling was no longer ashamed to say it.

Besides, his fourth brother is too honest. Shen Ruiling is also afraid that his fourth brother will be used by the Du family after marriage!

……

For a time, there was no sound in the whole pavilion except for some gentle wind.

After a long silence, Du Wenfu smiled awkwardly, looked up and confirmed to Shen Ruiling:

"Little friend, don't think about it?"

Facing Du Wenfu's further inquiry, Shen Ruiling stood up directly from the Pu mat, bowed to Du Wenfu and said:

"Old Du is disappointed. This time, the younger generation really doesn't appreciate it. However, the younger generation is really devoted to the Tao, so they have never planned to marry Taoist couples! "

At this time, Shen Ruiling has put his attitude very low, just afraid that his refusal will make the relationship between Shen and Du stiff.

After hearing the firmness in Shen Ruiling's words, Du Wenfu couldn't help sighing.

Originally, he wanted to persuade a few more words, but now it seems that what he said is useless.

"It doesn't matter ~ it doesn't matter. I should congratulate you for being so determined to the Tao."

Du Wenfu waved his hand and laughed heartily again.

Seeing that Du Wenfu did not anger the Shen family because of his refusal, Shen Ruiling was relieved.

"Please sit down, little friend!"

"Old Xie Du!"

Shen Ruiling sat down again.

After taking his seat, Shen Ruiling looked up at Du Wenfu and said with a smile:

"Although it is difficult for the younger generation to accept this sudden Taoist couple, the younger generation believes that Du's consideration is completely correct!"

After hearing this, Du Wenfu's old eyes narrowed gradually and looked at Shen Ruiling with interest.

"Mr. Du must have seen that with the addition of a Jindan immortal in Qingyun gate, the original situation of" tripartite confrontation "in Lingnan has begun to become a little unstable.

And the game between these giants, our small families are inevitably involved and have to be wrapped in it.

……”

Du Wenfu listened quietly and made no comment.

He naturally understood these principles. He was just looking at what Shen Ruiling wanted to say.

A moment later, Du Wenfu couldn't help laughing, looked at Shen Ruiling and said:

"What does Xiaoyou mean?"

Hearing the speech, Shen Ruiling arched his hands to Du Wenfu again:

"What I mean is that, as my predecessors said before, you and I will form a formal alliance and help each other in the next turmoil!"

After hearing Shen Ruiling's words, Du Wenfu was silent.

Shen Ruiling was not in a hurry. He looked at Du Wenfu calmly. He believed that the old man should not refuse himself.

After being silent for a long time, Du Wenfu slowly looked up at Shen Ruiling, and a poisonous light flashed in his old eyes.

"I don't know what you mean. How can I understand this' watch and help each other '?"

Shen Ruiling smiled and said seriously:

"That is, once the Du family is in trouble, the Shen family will try our best to help the Du family through the crisis.

On the contrary, if my Shen family is in trouble, the Du family also needs to try their best to help my Shen family out of trouble. "

Silence fell again in the pavilion.

"Well, I will form this alliance with Xiaoyou on behalf of the Du family!"

Suddenly, Du Wenfu fiercely looked up at Shen Ruiling and directly agreed.

Hearing the speech, Shen Ruiling bent his mouth slightly and said to Du Wenfu:

"Thank you, old Du!"
