Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Before dawn, Qin Lie quietly went to Medicine Mountain. The two leather bags he brought back from the extremely cold mountains had already been returned to the cave where he practiced.
A leather bag contains the core of the Shadow Electric Sculpture and a dozen ice stem plants.
In the other leather bag, there are some spiritual stones, spiritual elixirs, spiritual materials and other odds and ends, which originally belonged to the warriors of the Broken Ice Palace who were killed by him.
Recently, he has been practicing with the help of the shadow electric sculpture's beast core and ice stem grass. These two materials have greatly helped him condense his spiritual power, allowing him to clearly feel the fullness of power in the spiritual sea.
He didn't take those spiritual stones, elixirs and other things to heart. On the one hand, he didn't know the true value of those things, and on the other hand, it was also because of the ice stem grass and shadow electric carving beast core, which were currently affecting his cultivation. More effective.
"Engagement ceremony"
Qin Lie picked out some good-looking items such as spiritual elixirs and spiritual stones, collected them in a smaller cloth bag, and put them inside his clothes.
When he heard Ling Yushi talking about the engagement, his first thought was to refuse, because he didn't want to get involved with the Ling family, let alone harm Ling Yushi.
After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that his grandfather had arranged this matter earlier, and his inner resistance became much smaller.
In addition, the head of the Ling family also made it clear that this engagement was not serious, it was just a mere ceremony, and it would be terminated in two years.
A fake ceremony, from his point of view, it doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s just a formality.
Recently, Ling Yushi often came to serve her, and he gradually got used to it.
After all, he is only a fifteen-year-old boy. He has been isolated for so long. He also enjoys having a beautiful girl like a sister who often comes to help him with water and laundry.
After getting engaged to Ling Yushi, she will continue to serve like this for two years, otherwise she may not be able to continue to enjoy such treatment.
After careful consideration, Qin Lie no longer objected and was ready to go through the motions.
He had already woken up. Although he usually pretended to be crazy, he still felt a little guilty about this engagement ceremony, so he came to Yaoshan to get something to put on his body in case of emergency.
Generally speaking, before the engagement ceremony, the man not only needs to prepare a betrothal gift, but also needs to bring his family elders with him, and he also needs to pay homage to his ancestors.
Qin Lie has no relatives around him and does not know where his ancestors are, so this step is omitted.
After taking his things with him, he hurried back to the stone house before dawn, freshened up a little, and then waited quietly in the house for someone from the Ling family to show him the way.
¡¡
Ling family lobby.
"Hey, the eldest lady is so pitiful. She actually wants to get engaged to that fool. Didn't I talk about the second lady before?"
"The second young lady is very talented. She is destined to enter the Xingyun Pavilion in the future. There must be no stain on her body. There is no way. Grandpa Qinshan helped the Ling family before, and the head of the family has already promised. You can't go back on your word, right?"
"Why not? Qin Shan is already dead anyway, what does that fool know?"
"The eldest lady is so beautiful, but she wants to be cheap for a fool, God is unfair!"
"yes."
Many members of the Ling family were scattered in the lobby, whispering that Ling Yu¡¯s poems were not worth it and lamenting her sacrifice.
After Ling Chengzhi and Ling Xuanxuan left for Bingyan City, the head of the Ling family suddenly announced the engagement of Qin Lie and Ling Yushi. Then, before everyone could react, they were ready to hastily complete the ceremony today.
Ling Chengye did not notify or invite the surrounding friendly forces. He just explained it in the town. Obviously, he did not intend to do this with a big fanfare.
At this moment, many members of the Ling family were invited to gather in the hall, and Ling Kang'an, an elder of the Ling family, was also among them.
He is also the only clan elder invited.
There are three clan elders in the Ling family, namely Ling Kang'an, Ling Xiang, and Ling Bo. They are all warriors of the older generation of the Ling family and the same generation as Ling Chengye's father.
Since the Ling family is close to the extreme cold mountains, the development of the warrior force faces many challenges. Sometimes they have to go deep into the mountains to hunt spiritual beasts and find spiritual herbs. Sometimes they accept the arrangements of Xingyun Pavilion and fight against hostile forces. Therefore, if they want to end well, Not an easy task.
The father of Ling Chengye, the head of the Ling family in the previous generation, was killed in a battle with hostile forces.
Ling Kang'an, Ling Xiang, and Ling Bo, the three elders of the clan, have all suffered severe injuries, either their cultivation has been completely destroyed, or their realm has continued to decline. They usually stay at home and rarely participate in the affairs of the clan.
Logically speaking, not only Ling Chengzhi and Ling Xuanxuan should be present for Ling Yushi's engagement, but the three clan elders should also be present.
However, Ling Chengye rejected this matter from the beginning.He was already prepared to regret his marriage in the future, so he did not arrange for the other two clan elders to come over, and only asked Ling Kang'an to come as a show.
"Those people named Du didn't come, so the head of the family probably didn't invite them. Well, this will make things a lot cleaner."
"Hmph! They are not from our Lingjia Town at all. Why invite them?"
"When I see the mother and son, I get very angry!"
Many young people from the Ling family have angry faces and cold eyes when they mention Du Jiaolan and others in the corner.
¡¡
An old woman from the Ling family led Qin Lie to the lobby. She didn¡¯t know what to say along the way, and she didn¡¯t know whether Qin Lie could understand it. She just said, ¡°Just follow me in a while. Everything will be done by me.¡± We'll arrange it. The head of the house is careful and has arranged everything for you, No, even the betrothal gift you should pay has been prepared."
The old woman shook the wooden box in her hand at him.
Qin Lie was stunned and pondered for a moment. He smiled stupidly, took out the cloth bag from his arms, and placed it on the wooden box in the old woman's hand, indicating that it was his betrothal gift.
The old woman was obviously stunned. First she looked at Qin Lie strangely for a while. Then she touched the bag expertly and weighed it secretly. When she found that the bag should be filled with hard objects such as rocks, her face It's full of self-deprecation.
She shook her head and did not open the bag to check. She just thought: I thought I was smart. It seems that a fool is a fool. If you pick up a stone, you can turn it into a treasure
Soon, amid the sound of firecrackers, the old woman led Qin Lie to the door of the lobby.
She presented the wooden box in her hand, together with Qin Lie's cloth bag, and then tapped the wooden box emphatically to indicate to the recipient of the betrothal gift that the wooden box had been arranged long ago. She then tapped the cloth bag and shook her head with a smile. , then dragged Qin Lie in.
The noisy lobby suddenly became quiet due to Qin Lie's arrival.
Everyone looked at Qin Lie, who had a dull expression, and frowned. They couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, feeling that Ling Yushi was not worth it.
Qin Lie saw Ling Yushi at a glance.
She had obviously been carefully groomed.
Wearing a bright, close-fitting red dress, she accentuated her graceful and slender figure. The faint blush on her cheeks made her look gorgeous, and the exquisite crystal jewelry made her look playful and cute.
The combination of her fair and jade-like skin, beautiful face, clear and translucent eyes, and elegant temperament makes her look like the Fairy of the Moon Palace today, so beautiful that people can't help but be swayed.
However, the more beautiful she is, the more people sympathize with her.
Everyone looked at the elegant and refined Ling language poems, and then went to see Qin Lie, who was so godless, felt awkward, sighing one by one, and became more uncomfortable.
Of course, not everyone is so friendly. There are also some women from the Ling family who have a bad relationship with Ling Yushi on weekdays and are jealous of her beauty. What they say in a low voice is not pleasant, and what they see in their eyes is sarcasm and ridicule. meaning.
Ling Chengye looked at his beautiful and peaceful daughter beside him and listened to the criticism from everyone in the lobby, feeling extremely guilty in his heart.
He didn¡¯t want this ceremony to last too long, so he quickly winked at the old woman and signaled that the ceremony should be completed quickly so that he could end this farce that he had directed.
The old woman understood the situation and shouted loudly, guiding Qin Lie and Ling Yushi to carry out the complicated ceremony.
Listening to everyone's non-verbal remarks, enduring the looks of pity, sympathy, and ridicule coming one after another, Ling Yushi could only pretend to be indifferent, and occasionally smile in cooperation.
¡Only she knows the bitterness and sadness in her heart.
"This is my fate. I can't blame others. My father and the others have sacrificed so much for the family. It's time for me to sacrifice for the family. Although Qin Lie is like that, being stupid has its advantages. He will not bully I don¡¯t care about anything. He actually looks good when he closes his eyes. If, if he is not stupid, if he is normal, even if he is just an ordinary person, it will be easier to accept"
Ling Yushi comforted herself secretly, but when she thought about it later, she still couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.
Every woman fantasizes about her significant other being heroic, able to protect and take care of herself. She is only seventeen years old, so naturally she is no exception. Naturally, she has had such a fantasy before.
But the reality is so cruel
A hand suddenly grabbed her tightly, which made Ling Yushi nervous in vain.
Then she heard the old woman's cry. She immediately realized that at this point in the ceremony, she and Qin Lie should be holding hands to continue. She also knew that Qin Lie's hand should have been grabbed with the help of the old woman. of.
Having never had physical contact with a man, she felt a little panicked. She soon discovered that Qin Lie's hands were very slender and soft. They seemed to be much more comfortable to hold than her sister's hands, which made her feel uncomfortable. Surprised, he couldn't help but look at Qin Lie beside him.
She suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some kind of light in the depths of Qin Lie's dull eyes, and it was only when she was so close that she could vaguely see the slightest bit.
That light actually made her feel at ease, and her chaotic heart gradually calmed down.
"Strange¡¡"
She murmured to herself, and couldn't help but hold Qin Lie's hand, and with a little force, she felt more and more at ease.
"Brother, what do you mean?" At this moment, Du Jiaolan's unique mean tone suddenly came from outside.
¡°Then the three mothers and sons of the Du family, together with the warriors arranged by Du Haitian, and two other elders of the Ling family, broke into the lobby.
When everyone's attention was attracted, Du Jiaolan said with a sullen face: "My niece's engagement is such a big thing, and my eldest brother didn't even inform me? Did he not take me seriously, or did he not regard me as a real person at all?" The Ling family?¡±
Without waiting for Ling Chengye to explain, she suddenly pointed at the two elders of the Ling family sitting in wheelchairs behind her and said bitterly: "There are two elders who worked hard for the Ling family and ended up disabled, but they were not invited. Ling Chengye! What do you mean?"
"Chengye, what on earth is going on?" Ling Xiang, one of the clan elders, also had a straight face as he was pushed forward in a wheelchair by the warriors of the Du family, "We two old guys can be regarded as serving the Ling family After working hard all your life, you are not even qualified to participate in the engagement ceremony of the younger generation? "
"You don't take us seriously at all!" Another clan elder, Ling Bo, slapped the wheelchair hard and lectured angrily, "Don't forget, we three clan elders have the power to remove The rights of the patriarch!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Ling Chengye suddenly changed his expression, but all the Ling family members in the lobby looked frightened.
