Chapter 40: Marriage?
"Is the castle lord looking for me?" Early in the morning, Qi Xiao had just finished his cultivation when Alice knocked on the door and called out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hmm...... Father, let us go with us. Alice's words were muffled, but she could barely make out them.
Ten minutes later, the main castle hall.
"You're here, sit down first." At this time, there were only Li Szt and the red-clothed demon woman standing behind him in the hall, I don't know if it was Qi Xiao's illusion, Li Szt's tone seemed to be a lot more kind.
Qi Xiao and Alice sat side by side opposite Liszt, and the woman in red next to them automatically stepped forward and made two cups of tea and placed them on the low table in front of them.
Alice glanced at the woman in red curiously, but Qi Xiao didn't care, and asked directly, "I don't know what the castle lord is looking for me." ”
"Haha." Liszt smiled rarely, "Don't worry, you will definitely not disturb Qiao's cultivation." ”
As he spoke, he turned to the girl beside Qi Xiao: "Alice, didn't you mention this matter to Qiao Xianfeng yesterday?" ”
"I ...... I ......" Under Qi Xiao's inexplicable and Liszt's smiling gaze, the girl's face turned red, and she didn't know what to say.
"Alright, alright." Seeing this, Liszt was no longer embarrassed by the girl, and looked directly at Qi Xiao with his eyes and said, "What does Qiao Xianfeng think of Alice." ”
What do you think? Qi Xiao had a bad premonition in his heart......
"Alice is very nice and has helped me a lot." After thinking about it for a while, Qi Xiao seemed to be able to only give this answer, if he talked about cooking or housework, there was always a feeling that something was wrong......
"Really? That's good" Liszt smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, thanks to the fire potion offered by Joe, Alice's qualifications are much better now, and she may even advance above the thirteenth order......"
"The lord of the castle is polite, the potion of bathing fire is useless to me, so ......"
"Even if it is useless to you, this potion of fire is priceless, and if you are willing to give it to Alice, I owe you a favor......" After a little hesitation, Liszt spoke again, "Joe, let's talk about business, of course, this is not a serious matter, it should be a happy event." ”
"Oh?" The wonderful premonition in Qi Xiao's heart became stronger and stronger, and he could only barely suppress it at the moment, and asked, "I don't know what the castle master said, what kind of happy event?" ”
"Mo Wen Castle has been passed down to my generation, due to the complicated affairs in the castle, and I dare not slack off in the matter of cultivation, so I have few heirs."
"I admire the castle master's dedication to revitalizing the castle." Listening to this homely tone, Qi Xiao's scalp began to tingle slightly.
"Okay, don't brag about me." Liszt shook his head slightly and said, "Except for Fanny, who is studying at the Imperial Central Academy, I only have one daughter, Alice...... It's a pity that because I'm busy with affairs, I pay too little attention to her......"
Liszt is not a lie, although almost everyone regarded Alice's identity as a taboo before, Liszt has never denied her identity, and he has never treated her badly when she is fed, clothed, housed, and traveled. It can be said that in addition to companionship, Liszt has fulfilled the most basic responsibilities of a father.
"Don't blame my father, it's all my own incompetence, and my cultivation has not progressed......" Alice, who originally bowed her head, couldn't help but speak, looking at Liszt with a hint of eagerness in her eyes.
Seeing Alice's true feelings, Liszt was in a trance for no reason, and actually thought of the Terran woman who had always been with him since he was a child, and finally blocked the enemy's fatal blow for himself. She is also like Alice, no matter what she does, she will forget about herself, and she is destined to suffer a loss.
"It's me who is not good ......" Liszt's eyes were rarely soft, and the words he said were completely solemn as before, only hidden guilt, revealing a little, and then he looked at Qi Xiao again: "You are also Alice's peer, if you don't mind, I will call you Joe in private." ”
“……”
Seeing Qi Xiao's acquiescence, Liszt said again: "Then Joe, I am destined to dedicate my life to Mowen Castle, and it is difficult to accompany Alice...... So, I have a presumptuous request - in the future, can you take care of her in my place? ”
As soon as the words fell, the girl's face turned pink.
Qi Xiao's brows furrowed slightly: "The castle lord doesn't have to be so solemn, Alice, as one of my few friends, of course I will take good care of her." ”
Friend? The bright color on the girl's face faded instantly, and she obviously felt a little shaky when she was sitting.
"Joe......" Liszt's voice suddenly deepened, and his mature and handsome face became solemn, "You don't understand what I mean, I mean, do you want to be Alice's companion, and really be a member of my Morven Castle." ”
Without waiting for Qi Xiao to answer, he continued: "My other daughter, Fanny, she is dedicated to cultivation and has no intention of engaging in the affairs of the castle, if you and Alice get married, then most of the people who will inherit the castle in the future will be your children......"
"Castle Master......" Qi Xiao was extremely surprised, he didn't expect Liszt to be able to do this, no matter whether the other party was true or false, at least what he did was in line with the position and interests of Qi Xiao's human race......
"Needless to say." Liszt interrupted, "You can tell me the decision now, and if the time is right, I can hold a wedding for you this month!" ”
Looking at the girl beside him who was still blank, Qi Xiao showed a hint of apology in his eyes.
He sighed and said, "Castle Master, Alice and I are not yet minors, so let's talk about marriage later." ”
"So, you're agreeing to this?"
"Not really, I ......"
"Enough!" Looking at Alice with a gloomy face, Liszt felt a rare trace of distress in his heart, a trace of his father's distress for his daughter.
He stood up suddenly, turned around, and said, "Isn't this Holy Rank of mine not qualified enough to be your father-in-law?" Joe Offering had better think about it and don't make a decision that disappoints everyone! ”
After speaking, he walked into the corridor at the back of the hall, followed by the woman in red on the side, only to glance at the silent young man and girl obscurely......
……
"Haha......" The girl next to her suddenly burst into a reluctant laugh, "My father is really difficult for a strong man, I am not ready to get married, how can he be ...... like this"
"Alice......" Qi Xiao turned his head, only to see the pearl-like water sliding down the girl's face like a beaded curtain.
"Can Joe turn around, I don't want you to see me now......"
"Hmm" in response, Qi Xiao did as he said, got up and turned his back to the girl, and said, "I'm sorry, it's me who is wrong this time." ”
The next moment, a soft touch came from behind, and his waist was already surrounded by a pair of slender arms.
Joe ...... Just let me hug you like this, okay, just ......"
Hearing the girl's almost pleading voice, Qi Xiao sighed again, speechless...... (To be continued.) )
