Chapter 697: Joys and sorrows
The eldest lady sighed lightly and continued: "The 'rootless flower' is in the cave of Qingtong Mountain. Qingtong Mountain is the only place on the Eastern Wilderness Continent that has fertile soil, can grow plants on its own, covered by green forests all year round, the cave is extremely hidden, only after the morning light shines on Qingtong Mountain in spring, you can see the cave, it is now late autumn, and there are three months to find the trace of Qingtong Mountain Cave, in these three months, if you find Huang Jiang in advance and kill him, our exchange conditions will end in advance. You can concentrate on finding your 'rootless flower', but if you find the cave, you can only take the flower of the rootless flower, and the soil is not taken away like the root, and those are my two sisters!" ”
"This scorpion naturally knows, please rest assured, Madame!" The scorpion replied sincerely.
When bidding farewell to the eldest lady, the scorpion can still see the sadness on the face of the eldest lady, in her opinion, the eldest lady's seemingly sad component is much more than the element of hate, but the scorpion can't understand, if you change to yourself, you must hide the cave tightly, hoping that the beast will never leave, at least let your sisters rest in peace, however, I have a personal idea, if the eldest lady deliberately hides the 'rootless flower', it will really take a lot of trouble for me.
Out of the Cuixin Courtyard, the scorpion bumped into Meng Qi who came to visit, what made the scorpion puzzled was that he was not accompanied by Lu Tianyuan today, and it was right to think about it, now Lu Tianyuan lives in Yunlan Sect, unless it is agreed, it is really not easy for the two of them to bump together. Meng Qi just raised his eyes and glanced at the scorpion, his eyes turned from doubt to resentment, and he didn't say hello or say a word. He passed by the scorpion. Regarding human affection, the scorpion is a dull person. People don't greet themselves, they just treat her as air, and the scorpion didn't take the initiative to talk to Meng Qi, but sighed secretly in his heart: Sure enough, the biggest enemy in the world is a rival in love, but it's a pity that Meng Qi got the wrong object.
The eldest lady only stayed in Huayu City for three days, and then set off to return to the Tree Emperor, and this time there were also Lu Tianyuan and Lu Tianye, the two sons, about Meng Qi. The eldest lady did not give clear instructions, which also attracted a lot of speculation, the most said is that Meng Qi's talent is limited, and he can't get on the stage, and the eldest lady is not satisfied, so the Meng family, which was originally like a city, suddenly became much more deserted.
On the night of Lu Tianyuan's departure, he asked Yun Ling to ask the scorpion out, Yun Ling was really an enthusiastic person without a trace of care, and hurriedly ran to inform the scorpion, originally the scorpion was going to refuse. However, Nian Zai Lu Tianyuan was about to leave. I don't know if I won't meet again in the future, plus before, I still owe him a few personal debts and decided to pay this contract.
Under the silver moonlight, a man in a white robe stood under the moon shadow tree with flying petals, his face was handsome, his body was long, in the dream-like landscape, dream-like existence, his face was not as gloomy as before, but with a faint smile, looking at the scorpion with expectant eyes.
The scorpion smiled and said, "I'm sorry, some things have been delayed, I don't know the big one" suddenly remembered that Lu Tianyuan was very entangled in this title, and immediately changed his words, "Lu Tianyuan, what are you looking for me?" ”
Lu Tianyuan was just laughing and didn't answer. The smile was very funny, and there was no reason why the scorpion thought about it and there was no reason why Lu Tianyuan showed such an expression to himself, but the scorpion didn't think much about it, and walked straight to Lu Tianyuan's side.
Lu Tianyuan sat on the ground, leaned against the Moon Shadow Tree, patted the grass beside him, and said, "Xin'er, come, sit here!" ”
The scorpion was slightly stunned and frowned slightly.
"It was Meng Qi who told me, she said that you are not called a scorpion, you are called Lan Qixin'er, what a beautiful name, why do you want to change her? Yes! Calling you Xin'er feels a lot more like calling you a scorpion, doesn't it? Lu Tianyuan said lightly.
Xin'er? It's been a long time since anyone called themselves by this name, so much so that they don't even feel like they're calling themselves. Think about it, in fact, there are really not many people who call themselves Xin'er, except for the cheap dad, there is only Leng Aohan's family, if it is Leng Aohan who is sitting under the moon shadow tree at the moment, he will definitely be entangled with him until he changes his name to call himself a scorpion, thinking of Leng Aohan, the scorpion still has a slight heartache, it is a scar that can never be erased from her heart, even if it has scabbed, but there is still a mark after all. It's just that now in front of him is this Lu Tianyuan, who has nothing to do with him, his name is just a symbol, he can call it how he likes, and the scorpion is too lazy to entangle.
"Why, it's the last night, don't you even want to sit here with me for a while?" A trace of injury flashed in Lu Tianyuan's eyes, but his tone was still peaceful, and he also had a smile on his face.
The scorpion thought about it, but still sat down next to Lu Tianyuan, looked up at the sky, and looked at the miserable white full moon in the sky.
The two of them were silent, silent, just sitting quietly like this.
I don't know how long it took, Lu Tianyuan suddenly said in that muffled voice: "I don't love Meng Qi, but I must be responsible for her."
"Hmm!" The scorpion simply responded.
"For the stability of the entire Eastern Wilderness, if I marry Meng Qi, I must marry Yun Ling, and my mother said that the seal of the blood clan will soon be broken, in this case, the peace of the border is even more important!" Lu Tianyuan's mouth was full of helplessness.
In fact, this was the expected result, the scorpion was not surprised, and this matter had nothing to do with himself, the scorpion just responded lightly: "Oh! ”
There was silence again.
Until the petals of the Moon Shadow Tree stopped falling, and the slightest cool breeze blew the scorpion a little, Lu Tianyuan turned to look at the scorpion, looked at the scorpion for a moment, stood up, and said goodbye solemnly: "Thank you, you are willing to come to accompany me tonight, there will be a date later!" ”
The scorpion stood up and moved his lips twice, wanting to say something, but he didn't open his mouth after all, just smiled indifferently and said, "I regret it!" ”
The eldest lady, Lu Tianyuan and Lu Tianye left, and the scorpion originally planned to leave on his back feet, and first went to the Qingtong Mountain to see what the situation was. But I heard Yun Ling say that two days later was the preliminaries of the cultivator competition, and she wanted to stay and cheer for her, so she had to promise her to stay for a few days before leaving, after all, there was still some time before she could find the cave.
The cultivator competition is really exciting, many plants that have never been thought of are displayed in the competition, and it is dazzling to see, but unfortunately, in the end, neither Yunling nor Meng Qi has been qualified to advance to the next competition. In fact, Meng Qi has a chance, and the scorpion feels that if she shows her fire hoof lotus, she will definitely be able to win the championship, but it seems that this long-prepared cultivator competition is no longer as meaningful to her as before, and the second lady Meng Juan is full of energy to participate, and the scorpion thinks that maybe Meng Juan feels that this is the last chance for her salted fish to turn over, but it is a pity that her skills are too unsightly, and her popularity is not high, so she lost in the second game.
On the day of the end of the cultivator competition, Yun Ling received a letter from the Flying Eagle of the Tree Emperor's envoy, and the letter first praised Yun Ling, and then cut to the point, saying that the eldest son of the Tree Emperor decided to accept Yun Ling as a concubine, and would send Hua Qiao to marry him soon.
Receiving such a flying eagle message, except for Yun Ling, who was so happy that her face was full of smiles, the entire Yun Lan Sect fell into a lifeless atmosphere of displeasure. First of all, Wang Zhe and the Wang Steward behind Wang Zhe were like a thunderbolt from the sky, the already old face of the Wang Steward suddenly became more withered, and even his back was hunched a little, and the scorpion passed by him, and occasionally heard the cough of Elder Wang. After all, once the Yun family and the Shuhuang climb into line, he can no longer threaten the sect master, and the power of the entire Yunlan Sect, not to mention the position of the sect master, Wang Zhe is even more like three souls have lost six spirits, in the scorpion's opinion, his spirit is a little abnormal, one night, Wang Zhe even broke into Yun Ling's boudoir, to take Yun Ling away, saying that he wanted to take her away and fly away, but in the end was ruthlessly rejected by Yun Ling, and was driven out of the Yunlan Sect by the people sent by the sect master. At this point, the era of Wang Zhe is over, as for Wang Zhe's final ending, the scorpion has no way of knowing, and he doesn't care very much, but at the moment when Wang Zhe was dragged out, the scorpion saw Yun Ling's eyes full of reluctance and tears flashing in his eyes. The scorpion felt that at the last moment, Wang Zhe probably saw the tears in Yun Ling's eyes, because the scorpion obviously saw Wang Zhe's body stiffen, which may also be a comfort to Wang Zhe.
The sect master is unhappy because he is unwilling that Yunling is just a concubine, if that Meng Qi is married and Yunling is just a concubine, then the name of the first family in Yunlan Sect Huayu City will be handed over, and the daughter he has carefully cultivated is actually subordinated to a child who grew up in the countryside, and he is also unwilling. But on the second day, someone in the sect came to report that Meng Qi was only a concubine, and the sect master suddenly became happy, and his brows, which were always slightly frowned, instantly expanded, and even the pace of walking was much lighter, and his attitude towards the scorpion was a 180-degree turn, and he returned to his original enthusiasm.
After all, apart from the competitor of the Meng family, it is already a great favor that a woman who goes out of a small town like Huayu City can be the concubine of the eldest prince of the Tree Emperor, and the Yunlan Sect where the eldest lady lives in Huayu City is obviously this shows that the Yunlan Sect is already higher than the Meng family in the heart of the Tree Emperor, and his daughter is both talented and beautiful, even if he is only a concubine now, it is not impossible for him to become a wife one day, and Meng Qi did not choose a wife when she was the most favored, so it will be even more impossible in the future. The point is that the scorpion, who he thought would be his daughter's biggest obstacle, was actually kicked out. (To be continued......)
