- Qin Lie walked on the stone road at the entrance of the town with a dull expression.
Like half a month ago, his eyes were empty and lifeless, his clothes were stained with mud, and he looked gloomy and embarrassed.
Behind him, Ling Ying was dressed in colorful clothes and had a plump figure. Her bright eyes showed strong doubts, and she followed him unhurriedly.
Half a month ago, after Qin Lie left Yaoshan, the head of the Ling family thought he was at the heart of the mountain and had been anxious to see him, so he arranged for people to wait at the entrance of Yaoshan's mine day and night.
Ling Feng was the guard at night, and Ling Ying was in charge during the day. The two of them took turns guarding, and reported to the head of the Ling family as soon as he showed up.
It is also because of this that Du Heng, who is full of curiosity about the inside of Yaoshan, has never found a chance to investigate in depth.
Ling Feng and Ling Ying were also asked by Ling Chengye to wait at the entrance of Yaoshan Mine and were strictly prohibited from going deep into the mountain. Therefore, they still don't know that there is a strange formation in Yaoshan to protect them.
This evening, Ling Ying was guarding the entrance of the mine as usual. When she was so bored that she almost dozed off, she suddenly saw Qin Lie coming back from the direction of the Extremely Cold Mountains.
Ling Ying was so shocked that she almost screamed.
She followed Qin Lie all the way, her suspicious eyes lingering on Qin Lie without seeing any clues, which made her even more confused.
"This fool was not in the mine, but stayed in the Arctic Mountains for half a month. Why did he go there? How did he survive when he broke into the Arctic Mountains alone?"
The more Ling Ying thought about it, the more puzzled she became. Her charming face was full of surprise, and she became curious about Qin Lie for the first time.
Qin Lie naturally knew that Ling Ying behind him was always sizing him up, and he did not feel a single wave of emotion in his heart. He hid the two bags properly before reaching the medicine mountain, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble due to too many things on him. , now that he is relaxed, he is not afraid that the Ling family will find out anything through the items on his body.
He can¡¯t say he has any good feelings toward the Ling family, but he doesn¡¯t have any ill intentions. In his opinion, the relationship between his grandfather and grandson and the Ling family is just a pure transaction.
Grandpa repaired the spiritual weapons for the Ling family in exchange for the right to use the inside of Yaoshan, and helped him practice Tianlei Slaying - that's all.
Like his normal behavior in the past, he came in from the town entrance, ignored the looks and criticisms of others, and walked straight to his stone house.
The strange cries of "Idiot is back" were filtered out by him. Because he was used to it, it didn't affect him at all.
Not long after, he returned to the three stone houses. The stone houses had obviously been swept and were clean. Qin Lie didn't care, closed the door and started to rest.
His return to town left many concerned people puzzled, such as the Ling Chengye brothers and the Du family
There were also people who were indifferent, such as Ling Xuanxuan, who was still shouting in the martial arts arena without even looking at Qin Lie
"Master." Ling Ying abandoned Qin Lie and quickly came to Ling Chengye's side with her clothes fluttering. Her charming little face was full of doubts and she whispered softly: "He, he didn't come out of the mine, but but came from the direction of the Extremely Cold Mountains! For half a month, he was not in the mine at all!"
As soon as these words came out, the three members of the Ling family all looked surprised and curious about Qin Lie's whereabouts in the past half month.
"I know, don't say too much about this to others."
The head of the Ling family pondered for a moment, told Ling Ying to stop talking, and motioned for her to get down. Then he winked at Ling Chengzhi. The two brothers and Ling Yushi got up and walked towards Qin Lie's stone house.
The three of them soon arrived at the door of Qin Lie's stone house, and Ling Chengye knocked on the door, "Qin Lie, I am your Uncle Ling, please open the door."
Inside the room, Qin Lie opened his eyes, frowned slightly, then quickly adjusted, opened the stone door with a blank expression, and let the three members of the Ling family enter.
In the past five years, Ling Chengye would come over occasionally. At that time, Qin Shan was still there, and he always came to Qin Shan to repair the spiritual weapons.
After his grandfather left, Ling Chengye never came again in the past two years. This visit made Qin Lie suspicious, as he didn't know the purpose of the visit of the three Ling family members.
After the three people from the Ling family came in, they saw Qin Lie sitting on the stone bench, staring blankly at the cup on the stone table. It seemed that the cup was much more interesting than the three of them
Ling Chengye stared at him carefully for a while, and then suddenly said: "Qin Lie, I don't know if you can hear it, and I don't know if you will really be like this forever. I just want to say the magical grass on the medicine mountain is magical." Medicine is very important to the Ling family, and in the past two years, those spiritual herbs have begun to wither in large quantities, which has affected the Ling family's foundation. "
After a pause, he looked deeply into Qin Lie's eyes and saw nothing unusual. With no choice but to continue, he could only continue: "If, if you can hear it,?If you have the means, I hope the withering of the spiritual grass on the Medicine Mountain can be stopped. The Ling familycan't bear such a heavy loss, so please really pay attention to this matter. "
Qin Lie said nothing and continued to look at the cup.
"There's one more thing." Ling Chengye hesitated for a while and said more helplessly: "I promised your grandfather that I would take care of you until you are seventeen. One of the ways is to get you engaged to my daughter. According to your grandfather and I, According to the agreement, the ceremony should be held soon. Let me inform you that it is between you and Yu Shi. I will arrange it as soon as possible, and the ceremony will be held during this period. "
Qin Lie remained blank with no change in his expression, but Ling Yushi's face turned red and her expression was shy.
"But I want to explain in advance that this engagement is only to protect you and will only last for two years. After two years, I will terminate the engagement no matter what. I hope you are mentally prepared." Ling Chengye continued to add, pondered for a while, and then Said: "Your grandfather has been kind to my Ling family. We have cooperated happily in the past few years. I hope it will be the same in the future. Well, no matter what your real situation is, I will not pay too much attention to your affairs in the future. We just try to get along well with each other. "
After saying this, Ling Chengye stood up and motioned to his brother and daughter to leave with him.
"Dad, I want to have a few words with him alone. You can leave first." Ling Yushi lowered her head and said softly.
Ling Chengye felt ashamed to be with her, he sighed in his heart, nodded without saying anything, and walked out of the stone house with his brother first.
The room suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere gradually became a little strange. Qin Lie's expression was dull, without any reaction, as if he didn't know that there was a beautiful young woman in the room.
Ling Yushi bit her lower lip, her cheeks were slightly red, and she suddenly stood up and said, "You haven't taken a bath for a long time. I'll help you drain the water first."
After saying this, she stood up gracefully, rolled up the sleeves on her forearms, revealing a snow-white wrist, and went to the dressing room to fetch water for Qin Lie with a somewhat embarrassed expression
After the bucket was filled with water and towels and other items were placed, she came back.
She adjusted herself through this series of actions, and at this moment, she slowly calmed down.
A trace of self-pity and helplessness appeared on her delicate and beautiful face, and she said resignedly: "My Ling family owes Grandpa Qinshan a favor, and I will repay it in two years. After we get engaged, I will come to take care of you often. Hey, I can only do some cleaning and running water for you to wash up. I hope you can understand"
While speaking, Ling Yushi held a rag soaked in water and started working skillfully in the room regardless of Qin Lie's reaction.
Qin Lie's eyes were blank, but he knew very clearly in his heart. Through Ling Yushi's familiarity with the house, he soon knew that the cleaning work in the house for half a month should be completed by this delicate and beautiful woman in front of him.
"Hey, you are quite pitiful. After Grandpa Qinshan passed away, you were alone and your brain couldn't be used very well"
"Originally, my father was planning to get you engaged to my little sister. She is similar in age to you, but the little sister is the hope of the Ling family's future. Dad is afraid that the engagement will affect her cultivation and her future marriage, so It¡¯s up to me to take her place.¡±
"Ha, although I am an older sister, I am not as talented in cultivation as my younger sister. I am already seventeen this year. I am afraid that I will not be able to break through the Kaiyuan Realm before I turn twenty. Xingyun Pavilion is picky when choosing core members. Before I turn twenty, If you can¡¯t break through the Kaiyuan realm, you will never be able to get their approval for the rest of your life.¡±
"My father and third uncle have wanted to integrate into Xingyun Pavilion their whole lives, but unfortunately they have not been able to achieve it in their lifetime. They can only rely on my little sister."
"Hey, because the medicinal herbs are withered and the Du family has caught them, they have been troubled by them recently. That woman wants to take the medicinal mountain as her own. This time, it is coming fiercely. I don't know if she can stop it. "
""
Maybe because she was going to get engaged to Qin Lie soon, or maybe she felt that Qin Lie didn't know what she was talking about, so she didn't have much precaution in her heart, so when Ling Yushi was doing things, she kept mumbling, The constant muttering gave Qin Lie a deeper understanding of the Ling family's situation.
It also gave him a better understanding of Ling Yushi, and his perception of this woman also changed to a certain extent
After the work was done, Ling Yushi did not stay any longer. She told Qin Lie that the water had been put away and that he remembered to take a shower early, and then left the house quietly.
Qin Lie listened for a while and made sure she was gone, then walked into the dressing room.
Looking at the large water stains next to the bucket and the unevenly stacked towels, he shook his head and laughed.
He can tell, Ling YushiI shouldn¡¯t do this kind of thing very often, and I was so flustered just now that I ended up like this.
Touching his nose, Qin Lie didn't care. He took off his clothes and got into the barrel. Then his whole body was so excited that he almost screamed.
It¡¯s actually cold water!
¡¡
The next day, Qin Lie entered the Ling family dining hall with a blank look in his eyes and a runny nose.
Ling Yushi, who felt guilty, saw him coming in with a runny nose, and quickly suppressed a smile and lowered his head, not daring to look at him again.
Brothers Ling Chengye and Du Jiaolan soon began to confront each other over the spiritual grass matter. The strong smell of gunpowder made Qin Lie feel that the two sides might start a war at the dinner table.
After dinner, he continued to practice in the Yaoshan Mine. Because he was not in a state of being helpless, he carefully controlled the power of the thunder during practice to prevent the electric current from overflowing and killing all the spiritual herbs and elixirs.
Ling Chengye¡¯s words still had their due effect. He didn¡¯t want to destroy the Ling family¡¯s foundation and cause endless trouble.
He returned to normal, and Ling Feng and Ling Ying no longer guarded the mine. One night, Du Heng finally found a chance to enter the mine.
After a dizzying exploration, Du Heng was horrified and was as shocked by the changes in the cave as Ling Chengzhi.
¡°While Du Heng was reporting the situation in the cave to his mother, Ling Chengye was also making arrangements. He asked Ling Xuanxuan and Ling Chengzhi to leave temporarily and let them go to Ice Rock City.
Because he knew very well that once Ling Xuanxuan knew that her sister was engaged to Qin Lie on her behalf, she would definitely become violent and disrupt Qin Lie and Ling Yushi's engagement ceremony.
Ling Chengye asked them to go to Bingyan City, and sending Ling Xuanxuan away was just one of the reasons. The most important thing was to let them say hello to Xingyun Pavilion.
Ling Xuanxuan is extremely talented, and Xingyun Pavilion has noticed it very early. Ling Chengye hopes that Xingyun Pavilion will continue to extend the time for the Ling family to pay the medicinal herbs for the sake of Ling Xuanxuan.
¡¡
In recent days, Ling Yushi has followed his instructions and often visited Qin Lie's stone house.
During the day, when Qin Lie was not around, she would take away the clothes Qin Lie had changed and wash them. In the evening, after Qin Lie came back, she would bring the clothes to dry, run water for him to take a bath, and help him clean up.
The embarrassing incident of putting the wrong cold water never happened again. Of course, her habits didn¡¯t change either, and she muttered to herself every day.
After the initial awkwardness, Qin Lie gradually adapted to the life of being served by others.
Once Ling Yushi put the water in, he no longer waited for Ling Yushi to leave and went directly to the dressing room to rinse.
Every time he bathed naked in a wooden barrel, listening to Ling Yushi's soft-spoken complaints outside through a door, he would raise his eyebrows slightly, and sometimes a weird smile would appear at the corner of his mouth.
"I'm leaving first. You can wash your hands slowly." Ling Yushi's soft voice came from outside. Just when Qin Lie thought she was about to leave, Ling Yushi's breathing in front of the door was a little disordered, as low as a mosquito. The fly whispered: "Tomorrow, tomorrow is the day arranged by my father"
Qin Lie didn't react until she left for a long time. He sat in the barrel and stared blankly at the beams. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
