Chapter 103: The Game
Walking through the mountain road, the disciples of the Sword Shrine on the way were all curious about the chief senior brother and the young and beautiful woman beside the senior brother. Could it be... Is this the senior brother's girlfriend? Or is it the first time I have seen the senior brother bring a woman back to the sect, this is very lively, and the people of the sect will definitely set off an uproar when they hear it.
However, it seems that this woman does not know martial arts, how could the senior brother find a woman who does not know martial arts? He is so powerful, talented, and has a bright future, but he has found an ordinary woman. Yes, there must be a great family behind this woman, otherwise how could such an excellent person as a senior brother marry her?
Along the way, seeing the eyes of these disciples looking at him, Lin Luoxuan couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although she is a beautiful lady, her heart has been edified, and she is extraordinary, but after all, this is the territory of a martial artist, she has no kung fu, and it is inevitable that she will have stage fright.
Qi Qi's heart was as careful as a hair, and he also noticed this, so whenever he went to a place, he signaled the people around him not to be too presumptuous, so he got better.
He said, "Luo Xuan, don't be afraid. They are all martial artists, and they may think it's a little strange for me to bring back a person who doesn't know martial arts, but they want to give me some face, so they don't dare to do anything to you, just curious. ”
Lin Luoxuan nodded, "Well, Qi Jun, I know." ”
After coming to the main peak, Qi Qi pointed to a woman-like mountain peak in the distance and said, "That's the Jade Girl Peak, where my senior sister lives." I'll take you. ”
"Hmm. ”
On the way, Lin Luoxuan was a little apprehensive, "Qi Jun, your senior sister, she... What kind of person is he? Could it be that it's not easy to get along with?"
Qi Qi thought for a while and said, "Senior sister, she is cold to outsiders, but she is very good to her relatives, such as me." Now you're about to be my wife, too. ”
"Well, that's good. ”
Halfway through, the two of them and the people of the Lin family behind them all felt an extremely oppressive aura, which seemed to come from the Jade Maiden Peak that was already not far away.
Qi Qi himself is also a martial arts practitioner, so he is quite comfortable resisting this breath. But Luo Xuan and the others around him either don't know martial arts, or their martial arts are too low, so under the pressure of this breath, it becomes a little difficult to breathe, and it is difficult to take a step. And the breath contained a strong cold breath, which penetrated into their bodies pervasively, and the cold penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
Qi Qi found that Luo Xuan's lips around him were a little trembling, her face was covered with a thin layer of frost, and her eyebrows were clenched, obviously not comfortable, so he called softly, "Luo Xuan, don't be afraid, there is me", held her hand, and gave her some of his Xuanyang Fierce Qi.
Lin Luoxuan only felt a somewhat scorching breath enter her body, circulating around, counteracting the cold aura well, her body suddenly became comfortable, she looked at the person beside her in surprise, and said, "Qi Jun, this is...?"
Qi Qi explained with a smile, "This is the Xuanyang Fierce Qi that I have refined from cultivating the Xuanyang Sutra. How's it going, is it still uncomfortable?"
Lin Luoxuan shook her head, "It's much better." ”
"Shall we continue walking, then?"
"Hmm. ”
When everyone came to the top of the Jade Maiden Peak, they saw a woman in white sitting cross-legged on the grass in front of a wooden house not far away, exuding a terrifying aura around her, which was exactly the cold air they had just felt. Her white clothes and black hair were stirring, and the flowers and plants around her were frozen. Like a goddess.
Lin Luoxuan and these descendants of the Lin family were all seeing this famous female swordsman for the first time, and they couldn't help but be fascinated by the cold, arrogant, and otherworldly temperament of the other party, and forgot to take a step for a while.
Before long, Shangguan Deyin, who was in the distance, realized that someone was coming around him, stopped cultivating, and the momentum around his body disappeared, and the nearby flowers and plants returned to their original state. Slowly opened his eyes and looked at Qi Qi and the others. His eyes were stunned for a moment, and then surprise appeared, "Senior brother!"
flew out and came to the junior brother, "Senior brother, are you back?"
Qi Qi smiled and nodded, "Well, senior sister." ”
Shangguan Deyin was about to say something, when he noticed Lin Luoxuan and the others beside his junior brother, he was stunned and asked, "Senior brother, what is this?"
Qi Qi said, "Senior sister, this is Luo Xuan, the girl I met when I was training outside. ”
"Really?" Shangguan Deyin's eyes showed surprise.
Qi Qi asked the people of the Lin family to carry the things to the wooden house, and said to the senior sister, "Senior sister, let's go in and talk." ”
"Hmm. ”
In the wooden house, Qi Qi, Senior Sister, and Luo Xuan sat at the wooden table in the middle of the room.
Lin Luoxuan put her hands on her thighs stiffly, and her face was a little rosy because of nervousness.
Qi Qi thought for a while, put his hand on Luo Xuan's hand, and handed her a gentle look.
Lin Luoxuan was a little relieved.
Seeing this, Shangguan Deyin vaguely knew something in his heart.
Qi Qi got straight to the point and said, "Senior sister, I came today to inform you about my marriage. ”
Shangguan Deyin nodded, neither happy nor sad, waiting for him to continue.
Qi Qi said, "I am in love with Luo Xuan, and now I plan to choose a good day and an auspicious day to get married." Senior sister, as my only relative in this world, I think you should know about this. ”
Shangguan Deyin nodded and looked at Lin Luoxuan, "Is it called Luoxuan?"
Lin Luoxuan glanced at Qi Qi, Qi Qi nodded at her, and she said, "...... Senior sister, yes, my name is Lin Luoxuan. ”
Shangguan Deyin asked, "How did you and Qi Qi meet?"
Lin Luoxuan said, "I met Qi Jun at a poetry conference, Qi Jun has a lot of insights into poetry, the poetry style is chic and free, and he is in a class of his own, so I fell in love with him at first sight." ”
"You... It's all decided?"
The two looked at each other, "Hmm." ”
Shangguan Deyin's eyelids drooped slightly, "Since that's the case, then I congratulate you and tie the knot." ”
Qi Qi said, "That's great, thank you, senior sister." ”
continued to chat, gradually getting acquainted, and Lin Luoxuan did not have the restraint she had at the beginning. She found that this senior sister was much easier to get along with than she had imagined. When she came, she heard that Qi Qi's senior sister was the first female swordsman in the rivers and lakes, the sect master of the sword mound, so she read some information, and all she got was how cold this female sect master was, and how she rejected people thousands of miles away. But looking at it now, the words of the rivers and lakes are indeed biased.
After chatting, Qi Qi proposed to take Luoxuan to the sect to walk around to understand it. Walking to a certain place, Shangguan Deyin asked two female disciples in the sect to take Lin Luoxuan to walk around first, and ordered Haosheng to entertain him. Pulled the junior brother to the side of the dense forest, "Senior brother, let's talk about it." ”
Qi Qi's face turned red, and he knelt down with a "plop", and his knees hit the grass with a heavy sound.
"Senior sister, I'm guilty!"
Shangguan Deyin sighed in his heart.
Qi Qi cried with a sad face, "Senior sister, I, I, I have tarnished a girl's innocence." ”
Shangguan Deyin's heart softened, and he stepped forward to hug his junior brother, "It's okay, it's okay, say it well." ”
Qi Qi told his senior sister about his loss of reason due to the erosion of extremely positive qi, and when the latter heard this, after a long silence, he said, "If a person is not a sage, who can do nothing." You were wrong, but you did your best to make amends, so don't think about it. Henceforth... Be nice to her. ”
Qi Qi cried bitterly, wanting to seek some comfort from his senior sister's arms.
Shangguan Deyin stroked his head and comforted, "Don't cry, don't cry, you've paid for it, haven't you?"
Oh, yes... Price. He loved Qiqi in his heart, but in order to make up for his mistakes, he had to give up his beloved. He was wrong, but he also hurt.
Shangguan Deyin waited until his junior brother's mood eased down, "Senior brother, don't think so much, now, go and accompany Luo Xuan, although you are wrong, but some mistakes can be made up, maybe there are still gaps in the end, but at least the result after doing your best is far better than inaction, isn't it?"
Qi Qi looked at Senior Sister's eyes, for a long time, and nodded, "Well, I will redouble my efforts to be good to her!"
Shangguan Deyin smiled and stroked his junior brother's head, "That's right! Responsible, responsible. It's like you promised your senior sister to protect your senior sister and revitalize the sect. ”
"Senior sister, I'll go. ”
"Hmm. ”
Shangguan Deyin stared at the back of his junior brother leaving for a long time, and suddenly there was a sound of "ticking", and a drop of crystal liquid slipped down from the corner of the eyes of this cold female sect master, seeping into the grass.
......
Following the two enthusiastic female disciples to visit the sword shrines of the top sects in the rivers and lakes, although the two women were taken care of meticulously, Lin Luoxuan couldn't help but get tired. It's just that she can't see what she really wants to see.
At this time, a white-clothed figure came into view, and he was overjoyed, "Qi Jun!"
Qi Qi forced the sour feeling in his heart and greeted him, "Well, I'm here." How's it going, you're shopping?"
Lin Luoxuan smiled, "Very good." ”
"Let's go, I'll take you on. ”
Lin Luoxuan looked at Qi Qi's eyes, "Qi Jun... You... What's wrong?"
Qi Qi turned his back, wiped the corners of his eyes, and turned around, "It's okay, let's continue shopping." ”
Lin Luoxuan didn't ask any more, put her hand on Qi Jun's hand, and handed over her temperature.
The two went all the way to the peak waist of Shenlai Peak, between the peak waist, the peak, and back to the main peak. Along the way, although Qi Jun explained to herself in detail, with a faint smile on his face, she could read that he was not very interested in the depths of his eyes, as if he was doing a routine.
The two of them returned to the summit of Shenlai Peak, the residence of the chief disciple.
Sitting in the room, the atmosphere is a little indulgent.
Lin Luoxuan said, "Qi Jun, this place is very beautiful, I like it very much." ”
Qi Qi's gaze stayed somewhere, ignoring it.
"Qi Jun?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Qi Qi looked at her.
"I said, it's beautiful here. ”
"Well, if you like it. ”
“...... Qi Jun, you... Are you in a bad mood?"
"No, no!"
"Although... I've known you for a short time, but I can see that you are a person who deserves to be trusted for life. The way I met you may be a little charming, but if I had to do it all over again, I would choose to pick up the injured you in that corridor. ”
"I know it's hard to be forced to marry someone I don't love. But... It's really uncomfortable. ”
"Huh?" Qi Qi was stunned.
"yes, it's hard. So, Qi Jun, I figured it out. Instead of forcing you to marry me under the pretense of protecting my reputation. It is better to follow your original wishes and let you continue to live according to your original trajectory. Now my reputation is not affected, as long as you don't say it, I don't say it, as if it didn't happen. ”
"You... You..."
"I decided that this marriage would not be consummated. Qi Jun should continue to follow his own path and should not be bound by me. ”
"Luo Xuan, you..."
Lin Luoxuan looked at the sky outside, "It's beautiful here, Qi Jun, can I stay here for a few more days?" You, too, are free. ”
"Luo Xuan..."
"Qi Jun, don't say it anymore. ”
"No!" Qi Qi hugged Lin Luoxuan, "Luoxuan, you are a good girl, since I did something like that to you, then I will definitely be responsible to the end." ”
Lin Luoxuan shook her head with a smile, "Qi Jun, you don't have to force yourself. ”
"No, just tomorrow, tomorrow, we will get married!"
"Qi Jun..."
"Luo Xuan, you are so good, I will not fail you. ”
"Qi Jun..."Lin Luoxuan hugged Qi Qi.
"Then let's discuss what to do with the wedding. ”
An intoxicating smile rose at the corner of Lin Luoxuan's mouth, "It's good that Qi Jun will decide, I'll listen to you." ”
"The wedding will be held in the sect, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law will be invited to a banquet, as well as the three aunts and six aunts in your family, in short, write down your important relatives and friends. Then, my sister will be in charge on my side. At that time, the entire sect and even the entire rivers and lakes will pay close attention to our wedding, and you must be the most dazzling bride in the world. ”
"Qi Jun... I'm so impressed. ”
"Luo Xuan, I took away your most precious thing in a daze, then I will definitely do my best to make up for you and give you the best, this brilliant wedding is just the beginning, in the future, I will redouble my efforts to compensate you. ”
"Qi Jun, with your words, it's enough. ”
After discussing with their senior sisters, Qi Qi and Lin Luoxuan initially set the wedding date on the first day of May. Then the two took a carriage back to Lin Yancheng in the western part of Zhongchao Province.
The Lin family's mansion.
On the main seat, sat Lin Qiang, who was dressed in a black robe and had a big belly. To his left is a middle-aged woman with a plain appearance but a rather elegant temperament. Seats are placed on both sides of the hall and are seated by men and women, young and old. Some are Lin Qiang's concubines, and some are the famous and promising elders and juniors of the Lin family.
In the middle of the hall, Qi Qi and Lin Luoxuan stood facing Lin Qiang.
Qi Qi stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Father-in-law, my senior sister and I have scheduled my marriage with Luo Xuan on the first day of the fifth month, I wonder if my father-in-law has any opinions?"
Lin Qiang's face was expressionless, "I don't have any opinions." ”
Qin Ling, the mother of the Lin family, Lin Luoxuan's mother, smiled and nodded at Qi Qi.
Qi Qi and Lin Luoxuan looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that today's trip was unexpectedly smooth.
"I have an objection!" a young man stepped forward.
"Huh?" everyone in the hall looked at the man. He is the leader of the younger generation of the Lin family, has a good way in business, is a good hand of Lin Qiang in the business world, and is also Lin Qiang's righteous son, Lin Yue.
Lin Luoxuan saw Lin Yue standing up, and secretly screamed in her heart.
"Oh, Your Excellency?" Qi Qi asked with a smile.
"In Xia Luoxuan's brother, Lin Yue is also. ”
Qi Qi was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Luoxuan.
Lin Luoxuan explained softly, "He is the adopted son of my father, and he is not related to me. Helping Daddy defeat many tough opponents in the mall, he has a lot of status in the family. ”
Although Lin Yue concealed it well, Qi Qi still caught a trace of hostility from the depths of his eyes. It seems that this so-called brother of Luo Xuan also has a lot of other intentions for Luo Xuan...
"I don't know what objections Brother Lin Yue has?"
"I've never heard Luo Xuan mention you, and today I suddenly said that I want to get married, but I'm afraid that there are some unknown secrets. ”
Qi Qi smiled and asked, "Brother Lin Yue thinks there is any secret?"
"Luo Xuan has always been a pearl of my Lin family. With stunning appearance, elegant conversation, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you must have caught some tricks from Luo Xuan to make her suddenly say that she wants to marry you. ”
Lin Luoxuan wanted to speak, but was stopped by Qi Qi.
"Since Luo Xuan is so clear and flawless in Brother Lin Yue's mouth, what do you think Brother Lin Yue will do with her? I wonder if Brother Lin Yue is praising Luo Xuan or smearing Luo Xuan in a roundabout way?"
"No! I didn't—"
"It doesn't have to be explained. I'm just joking, I believe that Brother Lin Yue must love Luo Xuan very much, how can he discredit his sister?"
"That's... That's nature!"
This time back and forth, the judgment was made, and everyone couldn't help but appreciate Qi Qi's eyes. Not all of them are from the rivers and lakes, after all, the people in the merchants are a minority, and those who can touch the seven top sects of the rivers and lakes are even rarer. Therefore, except for Lin Qiang and a few other core figures of the Lin family, no one present knew the identity of the chief of Qi Qi Sword Shrine and his extraordinary martial arts strength. I only know about him at the first meeting today.
"Don't talk nonsense! If you want to successfully propose marriage today, you must pass my level first!"
"The head of the Lin family is Luo Xuan's father, why do you want your consent?" said and looked at Lin Qiang, but saw that the latter was silent, quite a bit of letting Lin Yue mess around, so far, Qi Qi knew most of it.
Lin Yue smiled, "I am Luo Xuan's brother, as her elder brother, what's the problem with testing you, an unmarried husband, for her?"
"Then how does Brother Lin Yue want to take the test?"
"So that no one will say that I am bullying you. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you can choose the same. As long as you win me, then I will no longer block your marriage with Luo Xuan. But... If you lose, I hope you can stay away from Luo Xuan in the future and don't bother her again!"
"Lin Yue!" Lin Luoxuan said angrily.
Lin Yue smiled, "Luo Xuan, brother, this is all for your good." ”
"I really love Qi Jun, what right do you have to stop you?"
Lin Qiang spoke up, "Alas, Luo Xuan, don't be rude." Yue'er is your elder brother and your elder. How do you talk to your elders?"
"Luoxuan..."Qi Qi called softly, slowly pulled Lin Luoxuan back to his side, and patted her hand, "Don't worry, I won't lose." ”
Seeing Qi Qi making physical contact with Luo Xuan so naturally, a cluster of flames slowly burned in Lin Yue's eyes.
Lin Luoxuan said, "Qi Jun, I don't know much about you, I don't know how many pianos, chess, calligraphy and paintings you know, how can I not worry?"
"Didn't you say that although you don't know much about me, you can see from some of my qualities that I am not a simple person?
"Qi Jun, this is the critical moment for you and me to get married, why are you still playing like this?
