"Second brother. ”

"Qingxuan, you're here. Xue Qinghan stretched out her hand and touched the girl's head, her eyes soft.

"Hehe, I'm coming to see you, you disappeared for a few months as soon as you came back, where did you go?" Xue Qinghan pouted, dissatisfied.

"There was something going on, so left for a while. ”

"Cut, I'm just coming back. Xue Qingxuan muttered, "Second brother, are you injured?"

"It's okay, don't worry. Xue Qinghan shook his head and said.

Immediately, Xue Qinghan turned his head to look at the other figure next to him, slightly surprised.

It was a young man who looked about the same age as Xue Qinghan, and even, there was a faint resemblance between the eyebrows of the two. However, compared to the cold snow, this young man is more gentle, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, and can't help but feel close.

"Third brother, I didn't expect you to come over too. Xue Qinghan smiled at the young man. This young man is the third son of the Snow King, Xue Qingxuan's half-brother, and Xue Qinghan's half-brother Xue Qingying.

"The second brother didn't say a word when he came back, my mother and eldest mother are all in retreat, and I only knew after listening to Qingxuan that I didn't come to greet the second brother, and I hope the second brother won't blame. Xue Qingying said apologetically.

"Where, don't care, I haven't seen the two aunts yet, besides, it's not a big deal, there's no need to make a big fuss. ”

"Originally, I heard Qingxuan say that the second brother was back, so I planned to come over to visit the second brother, but it happened that the second brother was not there. I heard Uncle Song say that his father was in retreat, and it seemed that he had already been out of retreat. Xue Qingying looked at Xue Qinghan's eyes, meaning authentic.

Xue Qinghan glanced at Xue Qingying, turned back to Luo Shuang and said, "Luo Shuang, go make a pot of tea." Luo Shuang nodded, then turned and walked out.

"Qingxuan, go help your sister Luoshuang, she is clumsy. Then, Xue Qinghan said to Xue Qingxuan in front of him.

"Huh, is Sister Luo Shuang clumsy?" Xue Qingxuan looked at Luo Shuang in disbelief, and then turned her head to look at Xue Qinghan.

Luo Shuang, who had just walked a few steps away, heard Xue Qinghan's words, stopped and looked back deeply, but he didn't speak, and walked out.

"Sister Luoshuang wait for me, I'll help too. Xue Qingxuan looked at Xue Qinghan and Xue Qingying again, her eyes moved back and forth on the two of them for a moment, as if she understood something, her brows furrowed slightly, and she didn't say anything more, and walked out.

"My sister is closer to you than me. Xue Qingying, who had been smiling and watching the two leave, spoke up at this time.

"Speaking of which, I used to be the same as Qing Xuan, but I admired the second brother very much, your understanding is so good, you learn everything quickly, everyone is optimistic about the second brother, I also think that the second brother you are so powerful, but at that time, I was always chasing after the second brother. It's a pity that he has been left far behind. ”

A complicated light flashed in Xue Qinghan's eyes, but he quickly calmed down, and said softly: "You also said it, it was once." ”

"You can say it, what are you looking for me for here?" Xue Qinghan asked, the relationship between their brothers, he was still clear in his heart, Qingxuan came to visit him, but the third brother in front of him was not Xue Qingxuan. He took Xue Qingxuan away, but he didn't want Xue Qingxuan to be involved, if he could, Xue Qinghan still hoped that she would be the little princess of the Snow King's Mansion like that, and be spoiled by everyone.

"Second brother, I heard Qingxuan say that someone welcomed you a few miles away on the day you came back, but do you remember who it was?" Xue Qingying asked.

Xue Qinghan's eyes froze, staring closely at Xue Qingying, and did not speak.

"Second brother, don't look at me like this, I know you are suspicious, but I still have to tell you that it's not me. Xue Qingying spread her hands and said.

"Oh, is it?" Xue Qinghan replied as he sat down.

"Does this have anything to do with your coming here today?"

Xue Qinghan smiled slightly and sat down opposite Xue Qinghan: "I hope that the second brother will join forces with me." ”

"Nope. Xue Qinghan replied without thinking.

"Why?"

"I'm not interested in inheriting the throne of the Snow King, you two just fight. I also hope you don't involve me, I'm a lazy person, and I don't like trouble the most. Xue Qinghan said lightly.

Xue Qingying's gaze stayed on Xue Qinghan's face for a long time, wanting to see something, but saw Xue Qinghan's eyes looking calmly.

Xue Qinghan retracted his gaze, was silent for a moment, and said, "Second brother, if you say this, someone must believe it before you believe it, it's not that you can decide if you are not interested." You should also be able to see that it wasn't an assassination at all. ”

"Oh?"

"The person who instructed you didn't want to take your life, and I believe that no one was stupid enough to assassinate the Snow King's son near this Snow King's city. ”

"So what?"

"That's just our big brother wanting to see if he wants to test your strength and whether it will pose a threat to his position. ”

"You mean to give up a few lives just to test my cultivation realm?"

Xue Qingying nodded, and her tone was flat: "It's just a few dead soldiers, and he doesn't care yet." You've always been said to have the best cultivation talent among our brothers and sisters, and you haven't come back for a few years, and now that you've suddenly returned, he naturally wants to know how far you have come?"

"Hehe, you know that quite well. ”

Xue Qingying didn't care about the suspicion in Xue Qinghan's words: "I naturally have my own strength. ”

"I don't really understand, although I call him an old man, in terms of his cultivation, he is still quite young, don't you think it's too early for you to fight for the position of heir?" Xue Qinghan said.

Xue Qingying suddenly fell silent, looked at Xue Qinghan quietly, and asked after a while, "You don't know?"

"What, what do you know?" Xue Qinghan was stunned, not knowing why.

"Yes, it's right that you haven't come back for so many years and don't know about it, and I'm afraid he hasn't told you about it. ”

"What's wrong?" Xue Qinghan wondered.

"It should be a year ago, a wandering Taoist priest saw the Snow King's Mansion, stayed in the mansion for a while, and when he left, he calculated a hexagram for his father. Xue Qingying paused for a moment and exhaled a breath, "Hexagram, the big murderer, said that within a few years, there will be a catastrophe." ”

Xue Qinghan frowned, and a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart: "That Taoist priest didn't say anything about the method of breaking the robbery?

Xue Qingying shook her head: "Father personally received it, and it is not shallow, it is not like lying." Moreover, he said that he could only calculate an approximation, and he couldn't figure out what it was. ”

"Heh, so you're thinking about the heir?" Xue Qing said with a cold smile.

Knowing that his father was in danger, but thinking about this kind of thing, Xue Qinghan's heart was extremely complicated.

"No, even if there is no such thing, it will be the same result. That big brother now has a lot of prestige in the army, and, you know, his mother, our eldest lady. Hehe, our eldest brother, but he has always regarded himself as a royal bloodline, and his heart is not small. ”

"I'm still saying that, not interested. "Xue Qing cold.

"Then let's make a deal, what do you think?"

"What deal?"

"This time, the team leader gave it to me, and I owe you. Xue Qingying said, "Big brother won't participate, so the team leader will only be the two of us, I hope you don't fight with me." After all, I think it's very likely that your father will let you lead the team. ”

"What is your purpose?" Xue Qinghan said incomprehensibly.

"It's very simple, the people who can go this time are the most outstanding people of the younger generation of the big forces in this territory. Xue Qingying said.

Xue Qinghan suddenly understood what was going on in his heart, his third brother seemed to want to take this opportunity to win over these most outstanding figures of the younger generation to strengthen his power.

"Feel free, I'm not interested in it anyway, but one point, don't affect me. "Xue Qinghan doesn't care.

"Okay, that's settled. Xue Qingying had a gentle smile on her face.

At this time, Xue Qingxuan and Luo Shuang came in with tea. Xue Qingying glanced at the two of them, stood up, and said to Xue Qinghan: "Then the second brother takes care, I won't disturb the second brother's rest, and go first." ”

"Hey, we're just going to leave after making tea?" Xue Qingxuan, who came in with tea, heard it and glared at Xue Qingying dissatisfied.

"Then Qingxuan, you can stay here first, don't be too nonsense, brother will go back first if he has something." Second brother, farewell. Xue Qingying turned and left, leaving Xue Qingxuan who was stomping her feet dissatisfied.

When Xue Qingying's figure disappeared, a voice wrapped in spiritual power went straight into Xue Qinghan's ears: "Second brother, you still don't understand, power is also strength, you can be careful, the eldest brother is not you, he looks down on the position of the Snow King." ”

"Childe?" Luo Shuang walked up to Xue Qinghan and cast an inquiring look.

Xue Qinghan shook his head absently, and said to Xue Qingxuan: "Don't spill the tea, come and pour a cup for the second brother." ”
