Chapter 74: Heavenly Change
Winter has passed, the snow has melted, but the growth of all things has not yet arrived, the Snow King's Mansion is located to the north, and it is still not warm at this time, but fortunately, cultivators do not feel much about such cold.
Snow King's Mansion, Fengyue Xuan, the sound of the piano is faint, like a deep valley, with a peaceful and elegant atmosphere, wanting to extinguish the anxiety in people's hearts and dispel the invisible haze in the sky.
Xue Qinghan was dressed in white, like snow that had not melted in winter, and his body was covered with a trace of cold. An ordinary chessboard is laid out in front of him, black and white but disorganized, where it looks like the handwriting of someone who has studied the art of deduction, and more like a distorted pattern placed indiscriminately by a three-year-old child. The chess is disorderly, and the hearts of those who have fallen are in turmoil.
Luo Shuang's fingers jumped gently between the strings, and there was no expression on his face, still giving people a cold feeling, but the hand stroking the qin showed a trace of gentleness, blending into the sound of the piano, carefully wrapping the white-clothed figure who was sitting quietly.
In this world, the person who knows the snow and cold best is Luo Shuang, and there is no one. Even if Xue Qinghan doesn't say anything or do anything, she can know everything about many things.
Just like in front of her, Xue Qinghan's face was calm and waveless, but she understood that now he was in turmoil, and his anxiety did not show it, but he couldn't hide it from her.
Xue Qinghan has always been not very close to Xue Qianren's father, and even has a lot of resentment because of his mother's affairs, and he has not returned home for several years. But when something really happened to the latter, Xue Qinghan had fear and uneasiness in his heart.
A few days ago, they came out of that sealed place, and many people were killed, as for how they died, it is no longer easy to investigate, no one notices is one thing, after coming out, people's memories have been disturbed by inexplicable forces is another matter. The only one who is completely unaffected is probably only Xue Qinghan, because the inheritance of Xi, the creator of that sealed land, is on Xue Qinghan.
It is precisely because of this that Xue Qinghan understands better than others that at the moment of leaving the sealed land, there is an unpredictable force flowing out, making many memories of everyone forgotten, and what is forgotten is also those memories related to the situation of the sealed land, I think it is the means left by Xi.
Xue Qinghan and they stayed in that world for several months, and the internal and external connections were cut off, until Xue Qinghan came out, and they didn't know until Xue Qinghan came out, and the outside world has also changed in the past few months, at least for the Snow King's Mansion and for Xue Qinghan.
A few months ago, there was a beast tide in the 100,000 Great Mountain, the Demon King rioted, and it was even suspected that an innate Dao treasure was born, causing chaos around the entire 100,000 Great Mountain. And the Huangtian Pass, which guards the 100,000 mountains in the north, bears the brunt, and the Snow King Xue Qianren personally sits in the Huangtian Pass to resist the riotous beast tide in the 100,000 mountains, and the existence of the Desolate Sky Pass itself is also to resist the invasion of the demon beasts in the 100,000 mountains.
But no one thought that the scale of the beast tide riot this time was beyond everyone's imagination, and several demon kings appeared, which was enough to compete with the four kings of the Northern Wilderness Empire.
It was in this accident that the Deserted Sky Pass was lost, the Snow Shadow Army was heavily damaged, many strong people fell, and even the Snow King was missing in this riot, and there was no news for several months, and it was suspected that he had fallen.
For the Northern Wilderness Empire, this is undoubtedly a big blow, and the impact of the weakening of the top combat power is huge. For the Snow King's Mansion, this is tantamount to changing the sky. The reason why the Snow King's Mansion is called the Snow King's Mansion is only because the Snow King supports this piece of heaven, and now, this Optimus Pillar has fallen, and the Snow King's Mansion immediately fell into passivity, and there have been a lot of rumors that the Snow King's Mansion will be banned.
According to common sense, this possibility is extremely great, and in the world of cultivators, the strength of many things is the most direct measure, and if the strength is not enough, there is no qualification. As one of the four kings of the Northern Wilderness Empire, the Snow King himself is a figure standing at the top of the empire in terms of strength and status.
If Xue Qianren really had an accident, the current Xue Qinghan three brothers would not have enough strength to inherit the throne of the Snow King, and it would be difficult to convince the public.
However, Xue Qinghan didn't care about these, he didn't have any thoughts about the position of the Snow King itself.
As a husband, you have never even avenged the revenge of your beloved, and as a father, you have just let go like this, have you failed too completely? I know that you are useless, but it is really annoying to have an old man like you.
"Smack!"
In the sound of the empty piano, a crisp sound of falling pieces came out, and the chess pieces that Xue Qinghan had held in the air for an unknown period of time finally fell, and a gleam flashed in Xue Qinghan's eyes, and then the chess pieces fell quickly. Suddenly, the pattern on the chessboard changed rapidly, and the originally chaotic chess pieces faintly condensed into a momentum, stirring up a storm.
A few days later, a holy decree came out from the palace of the Northern Wilderness Empire and was directly delivered to the Snow King's Mansion, and its content also shook the entire Northern Wilderness Empire, of course, there were many puzzles, causing a burst of discussions.
Snow King's eldest son, Xue He, although his cultivation is not enough to inherit the throne of the Snow King, but thinking of the Snow King's hard work and affection with the current emperor of the Northern Wilderness Empire, he made an exception for Xue He to inherit the throne of the Snow King and lead the affairs of the Snow King's Mansion.
Giving marriage to Xue Qinghan, the second son of the Snow King's Mansion, and sealing the lord of a city, this can be said to be a great gift, because it is no one else who is given to marry Xue Qinghan It is the most favored princess Bei Yingyue. But what is strange is that Xue Qinghan, who should have been a relative of the emperor and the country, was named the lord of a city, and that city, called a deserted city, lives up to its name.
Xue Qingying and Xue Qingxuan were also rewarded, but they were decent, not so surprising.
The last one, and the most surprising, is that Bei Yinglong, who has been made the crown prince of the Northern Wilderness Empire, wants to set up a woman named Luo Shuang as the crown princess, which has aroused the admiration and envy of countless people, and it is even rumored that this woman is the righteous daughter of the Snow King Xue Qianren. But those who know the inside story have a faint smell of unusual meaning in this regard. Luo Shuang's cultivation talent, appearance and temperament, no one who has seen her will have any doubts about her excellence, but there is a problem, her relationship with Xue Qinghan.
Xue Qinghan looked at the golden holy decree on the table that was filled with vast coercion, and the cold glint in his eyes flickered, exuding coldness all over his body.
"Poof~"
Then, I saw one after another sword qi stirring, and with a soft sound, pieces of golden cloth brocade fragments fluttered down one after another, scattering them all over the ground, frightening the servants who came to deliver the news without blood. Tearing up the holy decree is undoubtedly a great disrespect to the royal family of the Northern Wilderness Empire, and the consequences caused by it will inevitably be extremely serious.
Xue Qinghan turned his head to look at Luo Shuang, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and then, his gaze became determined. Luo Shuang'an stood quietly beside Xue Qinghan, looking at Xue Qinghan's gaze, as if he understood something, and a faint sadness flashed in his eyes. But she didn't say anything, and the fluctuations in her eyes instantly returned to calm, but there was a little light flickering in the depths of her eyes.
"Childe, someone outside the house is looking for you. At this time, Dark Feather walked in and whispered.
Xue Qinghan was stunned, someone was looking for herself?
"Invite someone in, and I'll be right over. ”
"Yes. ”
When Xue Qinghan saw the visitor, he was even more puzzled, he couldn't understand why she came to the Snow King's Mansion to find him.
A woman sits on a chair, her eyes are like a sword, she is obviously a delicate woman, but there is no soft temperament on her body, but she is full of bravery, and it gives people a faint sense of oppression.
"Second Senior Sister, why are you here?Rare guest, what's the wind blowing today?" Xue Qinghan said with a smile. It was none other than Xue Qinghan's second senior sister, Chu Hongyu, the second disciple of Taixuanzong Sword Mountain.
However, for Xue Qinghan's words, Chu Hongyu didn't speak, just stared at Xue Qinghan tightly with a pair of eyes, and her face was not very good-looking, which made Xue Qinghan feel faintly uneasy in her heart.
"Did something happen?Second Senior Sister, something is wrong with your face, what's wrong?" Xue Qinghan asked.
Chu Hongyu bowed her head slightly and was silent, then took out a letter and handed it to Xue Qinghan, but her eyes never looked at Xue Qinghan, but looked sideways slightly.
Xue Qinghan took the letterhead incomprehensibly and opened it directly, the handwriting on it was very familiar to Xue Qinghan, free and debauched, sharp and sharp, and full of sword intent. But Xue Qinghan's face was a little gloomy, and there was confusion and disbelief in his eyes.
"Why is this happening? There must be a reason, what mistake did I make to be like this?" Xue Qinghan asked in a low voice, staring at Chu Hongyu.
Facing Xue Qinghan's gaze, Chu Hongyu's gaze dodged, and she shook her head slightly: "I don't know, and I don't understand why, but the order was directly conveyed from the sect master." ”
"Hehe, I really have face, and I actually bothered the sect master to personally order me to be expelled from the sect? It's really funny, hahaha, I really have a lot of face. Xue Qing said with a cold smile.
"Shizun is not helpless, not only you, but Senior Brother will not return to Sword Mountain again. The sect master said, senior brother was made the prince of the Northern Wilderness Empire, junior brother, you were also named the lord of a city in the Northern Wilderness Empire, and you are more likely to become the concubine of the Northern Wilderness Empire. Taixuanzong remained neutral between the three empires and did not want to get involved in the struggle between the three empires, so it was no longer suitable for people with real identities in the three empires to stay in Taixuanzong. ”
"Is it? Taixuanzong is really well-informed, I just received the holy decree, and the second senior sister arrived almost at the same time, and the sect master is like a god. "The snow is clear, cold and cold.
Taixuanzong actually directly asked him to leave the sect, and in this way, Xue Qinghan lost a double identity, one less identity barrier, and one less back road. Originally, with his plan, he would not accept the reward of the Northern Wilderness Empire, but leave as a personal disciple of Taixuan Sect and leave the Northern Wilderness Empire. As a force at the same level as the three empires, Taixuanzong's identity as a disciple of the personal transmission will be more or less scruples, after all, no one wants this neutral force to fall aside.
But now Xue Qinghan has no way out, and I am afraid that he will not be able to refuse the reward of the royal family of the Northern Wilderness Empire at all, because he has no choice. He didn't think that Taixuanzong would come to such a hand at this time, because he couldn't understand why all this was done, and it came in such a timely manner, as if it was agreed, and directly cut off one of Xue Qinghan's choices.
But, why? And for what, to let a sect master give an order, and he has such a big face? And he is not merciful. 's own mother, but the daughter of the previous sword mountain lord.
Xue Qinghan couldn't figure it out, it seemed that a pair of eyes were watching him in the dark, dismantling all his barriers, but who had such terrifying energy? could make the two top forces do this, or was it just the royal family of the Northern Wilderness Empire? What was they plotting?
And after seeing Chu Hongyu away, it was another unexpected guest who arrived, and when Xue Qinghan saw the visitor, his face was not very good-looking.
