Ye Zhong and Qu Jing came out of the secret room, returned to the study, and sat opposite each other. A maid brought fragrant tea, and the two of them each took a sip of tea. Qu Jing asked, "How long are you going to lock him up?" ”

Ye Zhong said: "That kid has too much temper, I'll frustrate his sharpness first." ”

Qu Jing said: "But it's not a way to keep him locked up, that kid is a tendon, a cow temper, I don't think it's easy to tame." ”

Ye Zhong sighed: "Take one step at a time, there is always a way to make him succumb, you should also think about the idea." He wanted to recruit Tianqi as his son-in-law, but he also knew that Tianqi was not the master who was good at obeying the loser, Tianqi was not only the son of the Holy Mother of Yaoji, but also the disciple of the Four Sages of Kunlun, he was not easy to force him, and the marriage could not be forced, he could only try to make Tianqi change his mind and marry Qian'er willingly, so he locked him up in order to delay and think about a countermeasure. He knew that Qu Jing was shrewd and had many ideas, so he had to ask him to think of a strategy.

Qu Jing sighed lightly and said, "It's a little difficult, I have to think about it." He knew that although Tianqi was young, he was shrewd, coupled with his stubborn personality, it would be easy to coax him for a while, but it was really not easy for him to be convinced.

Ye Chong said: "Don't worry, you have to think of a perfect and stable way." ”

Qu Jing said: "Okay, I know, it's not too early, then I'll leave first." He stood up and said goodbye to Ye Chong. Ye Zhong also saluted him. Qu Jing was about to go out, just as Ye Qian'er walked in and shouted, "Uncle Qu." ”

Qu Jing nodded and said with a smile: "Princess." And he went out of the door.

Ye Qian'er turned around and watched Qu Jing walk out of the door, and said to Ye Chong: "Dad, why are you locking up Tianqi and Tang Yu?"

Ye Chong said: "What can I do if I don't close them? Those two boys are not fuel-efficient lamps." ”

Ye Qian'er said: "But is it too much for you to do this? Tang Yu is Uncle Tang's son, and now that Uncle Tang is gone, how can you treat him like this? Tianqi is not an ordinary person, I am only afraid that you will not be good if you offend him." ”

Ye Chongdao: "My good daughter, Dad can't do this, isn't it for your sake? Dad only has a daughter like you, which father doesn't care for his children, of course I want to find you someone who is both talented and good-looking, and can accompany you." ”

Ye Qian'er sighed faintly and said, "Dad, I understand your intentions, it's just that Tianqi doesn't have me in his heart, he only likes Moon Spirit, what's the point of you forcing him to marry me?"

Ye Chongdao: "Then let me ask you, do you like him?"

Ye Qian'er was apprehensive, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'...... I only treat him as a friend, and I don't have a relationship with him. ”

Ye Chong's face sank slightly, and he said, "Really?"

Ye Qian'er didn't dare to look at her father's eyes, lowered her head slightly, and said "um".

Ye Zhong smiled faintly and said: "You can't lie, your thoughts are all written on your face, you are my daughter, how can I not understand?" I know your temper, although you are obedient and sensible, gentle and virtuous, but you are arrogant, ordinary people can't get into your eyes at all, Tianqi should be the first person to make you tempted, right?"

Ye Qian'er was told by her father, her face was flushed, and she was a little shy and a little embarrassed. Ye Zhong continued: "Before, you agreed to marry Tianqi after listening to my opinion, if this is the case, it is indeed unfair to you." But since you have affection for the heavens, why don't you go for it?"

Ye Qian'er said: "But Dad...... I'll admit that I was moved by him, but he ...... I'm a person who can afford to let go, and since he doesn't have me in his heart, I don't want to force it. ”

Ye Chongdao: "Since you pick it up, don't put it down easily, how do you know that he doesn't have you in his heart?"

Ye Qian'er was stunned for a moment and said, "Dad, what do you mean by this?"

Ye Chong said: "Dad can see that that kid is an amorous species, he not only has you in his eyes, but also in his heart, but you are too unconfident, don't forget, you are my Ye Chong's daughter." ”

Ye Qian'er smiled awkwardly, a little bitter, and said, "You must have read it wrong." Yes, I have a good relationship with him, but as he said, there is only the love of friends between us, and the person he likes in his heart is Yue Ling, not me, so my father ...... You'd better let him go. ”

Ye Zhong said earnestly: "Qian'er, you listen to me, since you like him, don't give up easily, it's good that he has the moon spirit in his heart, but this doesn't mean that he doesn't have you in his heart, as long as you want it, you have to work hard." ”

Ye Qian'er said: "I don't agree with what you say, since he already has a person in his heart, how can he still tolerate others." ”

Ye Chongdao: "My stupid girl, why have you become so tough, who told you that he can't pretend to be two people in his heart?"

Ye Qian'er looked at her father and said, "Dad, then tell me how many people you have in your heart?"

Ye Chong was stunned for a moment, father and daughter had the same mind, he naturally understood the meaning of Ye Qian'er's words, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Of course I have all the people of Heavenly Master City in my heart, but your father is the city lord of Heavenly Master City." ”

Ye Qian'er said with a slightly calm face: "You know what I asked, why don't you dare to answer it head-on?"

Ye Zhong smiled and said, "What did you say, why didn't I answer positively." ”

Ye Qian'er pursed her lips and said, "I know, you can't forget my mother, so you haven't remarried since your mother passed away, you understand this truth better than anyone else." I know that you let Heaven pray to marry me for my own good, so I don't say that you are deceiving yourself

Person. ”

Ye Chong and his deceased wife have a deep love, entangled in all kinds of things, since Ye Qian'er lost his mother at the age of seven, Ye Chong has not continued the string, his inner emotional world has been occupied by his deceased wife, so he can be said to have a deep understanding of Tianqi's thoughts. At this time, when I heard Ye Qian'er mention her deceased mother, her heart was sour, and her eyes were a little moist.

Ye Qian'er leaned lightly in front of her father, and said softly: "I'm sorry Dad, I talked about my mother again and made you sad, but you understand, this kind of thing is reluctant, since Tianqi only has the moon spirit in his heart, I would rather be friends with him for life, you just let him go." ”

Ye Zhong gently patted his daughter's back, sighed, and said, "My good daughter, Dad is just a baby of you, no matter what you want, Dad will do it for you, but Dad can't promise you this matter." ”

Ye Qian'er raised her head and said, "Why?"

Ye Chongdao: "You are kind-hearted, I understand, you don't want to force Tianqi, but my father also has his own selfishness, I must find a reliable person to inherit my position as the city lord, Tianqi is a rare candidate whether it is talent and martial arts, or moral conduct, it can be said that it is the best candidate, don't you think about it for your father? Or wait for your father to hand over the position of city lord to you after a hundred years, even if there is no strong person to assist you, how can you manage the Heavenly Master City well?"

Ye Qian'er said: "But God pray that he doesn't have the intention of being the city lord, even if he marries, I'm afraid he won't be able to satisfy your wishes." ”

Ye Chongdao: "This dad is not worried, he is a responsible, dare to take responsibility, the most important thing is that he is affectionate and righteous, strong skills, and there are big people behind him, such an all-round talent is hard to find, where do you let your father find another person like this? Besides, you still like him, which reassures your father, if you don't like him, your father may not force him." ”

Ye Qian'er thought for a while and said, "Dad, otherwise, you can accept him as your righteous son, and pass on the position of city lord to him in the future?"

Ye Chong said: "This is an idea, but he is only accepted as a righteous son, after all, he is not a member of my real Ye family, isn't this giving up the position of city lord to a foreign surname?"

Ye Qian'er said: "Then what do you say? You want him to be the city lord again, and you are afraid that the position of the city lord will follow the foreign surname, this is ...... Otherwise, you will pass on the position of city lord to me in the future and let him help me deal with it, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Ye Chongdao: "Then what will you do if you marry in the future?"

Ye Qian'er said: "What does this have to do with me getting married?"

Ye Chongdao: "The relationship is big, you see, you like Tianqi, you want him to assist you, and you will marry someone in the future, what should your husband think? How should you deal with this relationship between the three of you? Contradictions arise from within, isn't this to govern Heavenly Master City? Besides, I don't know what kind of person you will find in the future, what if it's a pus-filled waste egg? Didn't I bury you in vain?"

Ye Qian'er said with an embarrassed face: "That's ...... I'm not going to get married. ”

Ye Chong said: "This is even more troublesome, if you don't marry, won't my Ye family be the last one from now on?"

Ye Qian'er said: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then what do you say? Don't you still want me to marry Tianqi after talking for a long time." ”

Ye Chong said: "That's what I think." ”

Ye Qian'er said: "But we have said it many times, he doesn't want to marry me at all, don't you still want to force him?"

Ye Chongdao: "This is also my difficulty, who knew that kid was so ignorant, which made people annoyed." ”

Ye Qian'er said affectionately: "Dad, don't be obsessed anymore, let go of the heavenly prayer, do what you have to do, can't you just go with the flow?"

Ye Zhong sighed: "It's hard to find talents, it's not that I don't want to let him go, it's that I'm reluctant to let him go." I'm a father, some words may not be good, but think about it, he is the son of Our Lady of Yaoji and Chongyu, looking at 10,000 years ago, Chongyu was also a generation of heroes, how can Tianqi be comparable to ordinary people? Once you combine with him and give birth to a boy and half a girl, that is the dragon and the phoenix, and how can it be the same as mortals? Dad thought a little far, but what Dad said was true. ”

Originally, Ye Chong was just talking about the marriage between Ye Qian'er and Tianqi, and Ye Qian'er listened to it as much as she could, but now Ye Chong actually thought about having a child, and actually said something about "dragon and phoenix species" in front of his daughter. Ye Qian'er is a girl's sensitive heart, it is the norm for a girl to have a spring, Ye Qian'er has also quietly fantasized, but it was all secretly by herself, and when she was said by her father to her face, she couldn't help but blush, her heart was beating wildly, and she was extremely shy.

Ye Chong saw Qian'er smiling and blushing in thought, and said in surprise: "What's the matter, girl?"

Ye Qian'er was stunned and said, "No...... Nothing?"

Ye Zhong guessed what his daughter was thinking, smiled slightly, but it was not good to say it to her face, and said: "Qian'er, everything is listened to by Dad, I will let Tianqi accept you, he is just thin-skinned, and there is a moon spirit in the middle, don't worry, who is my daughter? That kid can't be blind." ”

Ye Qian'er hesitated for a moment and said, "That's ...... Dad, if Tianqi really doesn't want to, you don't want to force him, I don't want to be too embarrassed in the end, I can't even be a friend, after such an experience, I'm afraid that he will have to go around when he passes by Heavenly Master City in the future. ”

Ye Zhong smiled: "Okay, I listen to you, you give your father a few days." ”

Ye Qian'er also hoped that Tianqi could accept her, but she didn't want to be embarrassed, so she was relieved when she heard her father say this. Suddenly, Ye Da said loudly: "Hey, ghost girl, have you heard enough, isn't it too cold to stand outside the door?"

Qian'er turned to look out the door.

After a while, I saw Su Xinyue trembling and walking in, smiling, and said, "Uncle Ye, do you know I'm outside?"

Ye Chongdao: "When did you learn to listen to the corners? If you want to listen, come in and listen, will Uncle Ye hide anything from you? Don't freeze you and blame me again." ”

Su Xinyue was curious about what Ye Zhong was doing when he prayed for heaven and Tang Yu to lock him up, and she was very worried. After telling Ye Qian'er about this, Ye Qian'er ran over to ask Ye Chong, and then she followed, wanting to hear what Ye Chong would say, but she didn't expect to be discovered, a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I don't actually want to hear anything, I'm here to ask if it's time to eat." ”

Ye Qian'er saw that her little hands were red from the cold, held her hands and rubbed them again, and said, "Frozen bad, right?"

Su Xinyue shook her head and smiled, "It's not too cold." ”

Ye Chong said: "It's not early, it's time to eat, let's go." ”

Su Xinyue said, "What about the two of them?"

Ye Chong said: "Which two?"

Su Xinyue said: "Are you pretending to be confused, aren't you? Of course it's Tianqi and Tang Yu." ”

Ye Chong said: "The two of them are disobedient, they have to be hungry for a few meals, regardless of them." ”

Su Xinyue hurriedly said: "No, it's Tianqi who is disobedient, what's the matter with Guan Tangyu? You can be hungry Tianqi alone, why do you want to starve Tang Yu?"

Ye Chong said: "What's the matter? You feel sorry for that kid? I can't see that you little girl still knows how to care about people." ”

Su Xinyue blushed and said, "I...... I...... I'm afraid he's starving, I don't care about him. ”

Ye Chong, who was amused by her duplicitous words, wanted to laugh a little, and said, "Don't worry, their health is very good, and they won't be hungry for three or five days." ”

Su Xinyue was surprised: "Ah, you want to starve them for three or five days?"

Ye Chong said: "Okay, don't be wordy, if you don't obey, I'll inform your father to take you away, don't make me angry." ”

He grabbed Su Xinyue's pigtail with this hand, and Su Xinyue didn't dare to talk to him anymore, and said, "Okay, okay, everyone don't mess around, let's eat." ”

The three of them walked towards the "Smoke and Rain Building" together.

Usually there are six people at dinner, but today there is less than half, and it is very deserted. Before Tianqi, Yueling, Tang Yu, and Su Xinyue arrived, Ye Chong and Qian'er dined together. Habit becomes natural, and the father and daughter have long been accustomed to it and have adapted to this coldness.

After the arrival of the four of them, they regained that joyful atmosphere, and only then did they feel the warmth of Rongle again, this feeling is what everyone yearns for in a normal person's mentality, no matter how respectful Ye Chong and Ye Qian'er's status is, they can't escape this kind of human normality.

Tianqi's steady sincerity and humor, Yueling's beauty and elegance are more noble and respectful, Tang Yu's witty and slippery, Su Xinyue's naughty and cute, coupled with Ye Chong's majesty and generosity, Ye Qian'er's gentle and virtuous lady, is really six people and six qualities, with all kinds of personalities, it seems to be all kinds and harmonious, this is the real life.

Ye Zhong had already regarded the four of them as a family from his heart, he had thought about it himself, Tianqi became his son-in-law, and Yue Ling and Qian'er were married, Tang Yu no longer had a father, equivalent to half of his son, married Su Xinyue, everyone lived in the castle together, and there will be a few little guys in the future, around his knees, grandpa, grandpa's scream, at that time, it was really heaven and earth in his heart, what else could he ask for?

At this time, there were only three of them eating, the atmosphere was cold, and he was a little uncomfortable. Although he demanded that Tianqi marry Ye Qian'er, and Tianqi only had the moon spirit in his heart, he did not have the slightest preference for the moon spirit, and arranged for his subordinates to stew ginseng soup for the moon spirit early and opened a small stove, which is the delicate place in the majesty of the king overlord, and this kind of mind is also rare.

After dinner, Ye Chong went to deal with government affairs. Su Xinyue pulled Ye Qian'er and said, "Sister Qian'er, do you really care about the two of them?"

Ye Qian'er said: "Then what do you say?"

Su Xinyue said, "Let's send them something to eat, shall we?"

Ye Qian'er nodded and said, "Okay, let's go, go to the kitchen." ”

Su Xinyue was going to discuss with Ye Qian'er to release Tianqi and Tang Yu, but Tianqi was tied up by the "Immortal Meteor Lock", and she was afraid that she would not be able to escape. She was even more worried about being discovered by Ye Chong, and told her father that she was here, and her father came to arrest her, so she was really unlucky to go to her grandmother's house.

When she arrived at the kitchen, Su Xinyue wrapped six buns in cloth, carried them in her arms, and went to the room where Tianqi and Tang Yu were imprisoned with Ye Qian'er. Pushing open the door, the second daughter walked in. Ye Qian'er was surprised: "Are they locked up here?"

Su Xinyue pointed to the inner wall and said, "In there." ”

Ye Qian'er said: "I know, it's just that this is the place where my father retreats and practices, only my father knows how to open the mechanism, I don't know if we can open it." ”

Su Xinyue smiled and said, "I know how to get it, look at me." "I walked to the wall, knocked a few times on the square brick that Ye Zhong had knocked, and pushed it with my hand, but the wall did not move at all. She let out a curious "huh", knocked on the brick a few more times, pushed hard, and the wall still didn't react at all, she muttered, "It's strange, why can't it?"

Ye Qian'er said: "It seems that we can't open it." ”

Su Xinyue bit her lip and said, "I don't believe it." "Raise the luck of true qi, hit out with a palm, and the wall still didn't move at all. It turns out that the trick of this brick lies in the strength and rhythm of Ye Chong's percussion, and it takes more profound dark energy to push it, Su Xinyue's percussion strength and rhythm are not right, and the internal strength is even more different, how can it be opened?
