Xinghan Arc [2]
Long Yin walked in the deep courtyard without squinting. Although the pavilions here are gorgeous and exquisite, they mean little to him. On the other hand, the big white cat on the shoulder looked left and right, and seemed to feel very new to this qiē. Among the four elephant tribes, I have never seen such a beautiful dwelling.
The Four Elephants Tribe, although only one of the thousands of tribes today, has a prominent reputation. Because this one has a strong implementation power, and there are high-grade heavenly witches from generation to generation, sometimes there is even more than one, which is not to be underestimated.
Heavenly Witch, the strongest rank.
The world is divided into three realms: "Wu", "Great Wu" and "Heavenly Wu", and each of the great realms is divided into upper, middle and lower grades. The top-grade heavenly witch is naturally the most powerful being.
As for Long Yin's grandfather, Long Taicang, he is the best among the top-grade heavenly witches, and his strength is point-inspiring. It is said that among the nine heavenly witches in the court, only the Taijia Heavenly Witch, who ranks first in strength, can compete with Long Taicang. So much so that the government and the opposition must admit that the court has Taijia and the world, and the field has Taicang Zhen Kyushu.
If it weren't for Long Taicang being so powerful, maybe Xin Yao's grandfather wouldn't have signed a contract with him, right? Although his own daughter failed to marry a wealthy family, if she can marry the world-famous Taicang Tianwu, this marriage is also of great significance, and the world must understand.
It's just that although Long Taicang is so strong, the entire Sixiang tribe is very simple. Even if it is the residence of the patriarch Long Taicang, it is only the scale of a medium family in the imperial city, and it is completely incomparable with those wealthy families.
Otherwise, the young man he met outside the city gate would not look down on a "foreigner" like Long Yin so much, right?
So after arriving here, the big white cat was curious about everything. So that the servants who led the way in front of them were a little contemptuous, and secretly cursed in their hearts, "The master is a turtle, and even the war beasts raised are turtles." Of course, before the marriage contract was dissolved, Long Yin was still the son-in-law of the Xin family after all, and he didn't dare to say this.
Finally arrived at the backyard, and further inside was where the female dependents lived. There is a small pavilion here, and the person who wants to see Long Yin is in it.
Xin Yu Taiqing did not come forward, but just asked his wife, Xin Yao's mother, Mrs. Yuehua, to see Long Yin. Perhaps, it is easier for women to say something evil.
Long Yin walked into the small pavilion and saw a middle-aged woman dressed luxuriously dressed and still charming, sitting opposite. said to be middle-aged, but in fact, he is already sixty or seventy years old. The life span of this witch clan is relatively long, and he is not yet old in his sixties and is in middle age.
This noble lady is Xin Yao's mother, Mrs. Yuehua. She looked Long Yin up and down a few times, and she was not very satisfied. It is said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more interesting it becomes, but this statement may not be universal.
In Mrs. Yuehua's heart, the only thing she feels can barely get by is that the appearance of this young man is okay, and he can be regarded as polite. As for the rest, it can almost be summed up as "good for nothing".
"You, that Long Yin?" Mrs. Yuehua said lukewarmly. However, he did not even say the words "sit down and speak".
"If you go back to your aunt, your nephew is exactly." Long Yin said, handing over the marriage contract signed by Long Taicang at the beginning.
Mrs. Yuehua glanced at it, put the marriage letter next to her casually, nodded and said, "Well, I just asked casually, in fact, no one dares to impersonate me to fool my family. Hey, Taicang senior...... It's a pity, what a respected elder. In order to resist the invasion of demons, it is said that he also killed the Lord of Souls and severely damaged the Lord of Space? It's admirable."
The Lord of the Soul, the Lord of the Space, these are the top nine-star demon lords of the Demon Clan!
Nine-star demon lord, power comparable to high-grade heavenly witch. Even, the Lord of Space is still one of the nine top demon lords. Long Taicang fought two nine-star demon lords alone, and he was able to kill one and severely damage one, although he was still glorious in death.
Long Yin was touched by this sad incident, and shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Actually, grandpa shouldn't have died. It is said that during the fierce battle, there was also a mysterious master who secretly attacked my grandfather...... Of course, the nephew is also investigating the matter."
Mrs. Yuehua waved her hand: "Forget it, this is your grandfather's business, and I can't get involved with it as a woman...... Well, I just want to know, what do you think of this engagement between the two of us?"
What do you think?
How can there be such a question? Apparently this is something to regret. Long Yin is not a fool, so he can naturally understand the meaning.
However, Long Yin didn't directly say anything unpleasant before he finally determined the other party's true intentions. Besides, Xin Yao is a very good girl after all. If you can...... It's just that if it were, Long Yin would naturally not slap his swollen face and become fat to refuse. If you refuse a good match because of your family's downfall, it is not backbone, but inferiority.
So Long Yin nodded and said, "My nephew hasn't met Sister Xin Yao yet, but I've heard some things about her, so I naturally know that this is my nephew's blessing."
Mrs. Yuehua sighed: "Yao'er can bring you blessings, but who can bring her blessings, hey......"
A sigh is obvious, enough to chill people's hearts.
Yes, maybe in the eyes of the Xin family, you Long Yin, a poor boy, without the protection of Long Taicang and the support of the Sixiang tribe, can you bring happiness to Xin Yao?
In the small pavilion, there was a short and awkward silence.
After a while, it was Long Yin who broke the silence: "Yes, my nephew knows what my aunt thinks. If my aunt and uncle still agree to this marriage contract, my nephew will definitely do my best to give Yaomei a lifetime of happiness, at least I will work hard. And if the uncle and aunt ......"
"What will happen?" Mrs. Yuehua's eyes lit up [,!] ]
Originally, she thought that a young man like Long Yin had lost his grandfather and his clan, and at this time, he would definitely cling to the Xin family, holding on to this marriage contract and not letting go - this was his last heavy resource after all. But listening to these words now, it seems that this Long Yin also has room for accommodation?
Long Yin sighed in his heart, the melon with a strong heart is not sweet after all. Instead of dwelling on this marriage contract, which is already unequal, it is better to be calm. People are clouds, we are mud, aren't we?
Long Yin said slowly: "If you and your uncle feel that it is not suitable, and Yao Mei also feels unsatisfactory, my nephew will not be entangled in anything."
Mrs. Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief slightly, as if a big stone in her heart had fallen to the ground. She didn't expect this Long Yin to be so open. Well, maybe he himself knew that he was completely unworthy of Xin Yao, so he retreated. Of course, people are self-aware, so it's best to avoid trouble on both sides.
I have to say that in addition to the "appearance is okay, know the etiquette", her evaluation of Long Yin in her heart has another "self-knowledge".
The first smile of the day appeared on her face, and she said, "It's rare that you kid is so sensible, so, what do you want?"
What do you want? Long Yin was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly in his heart for no reason. Is this a deal? If it were a deal, it would seem too dirty.
"Oh, it doesn't take anything. The younger eight-foot man still has his own hands." Long Yin bowed and said. And at this time, he no longer calls himself a "nephew", but a "junior".
After speaking, Long Yin was about to leave. This matter is over, then he still has what he thinks is more important to do - to find the murderer who secretly attacked his grandfather in the first place. I can't figure it out, he always has insomnia.
However, before he could walk out of the small pavilion, Mrs. Yuehua called out to him and said, "Don't hurry to go, I have a small reluctant request, I hope that the virtuous nephew will understand."
Oh? Long Yin turned around: "Please speak."
Mrs. Yuehua sighed: "You also know that my Xin family is also a wealthy family with a head and a face. If there is a rumor of this marriage contract, I am afraid that it will become the ...... of the rest of the wealthy families Handle. So, can I tell the public that it was you who took the initiative to terminate the contract?"
Long Yin was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, this is really a bit shameless, right?
It's clear that you're going to break the contract, so I just don't bother you. Why, do you have to say that I broke the contract on my own initiative?
The marriage contract was signed by my grandfather himself, and breaking the contract is tantamount to saying that grandpa doesn't speak? Now that grandpa's bones are not cold, how can this be embarrassing?
Of course, what made Long Yin feel even more uncomfortable was that Mrs. Yuehua was a "wealthy family" when she opened her mouth and closed her mouth.
So Long Yin said indifferently: "No, in fact, I don't want to break the contract. At any time, I can marry Yao Mei. If the marriage fails, it's not my wish, and the younger generation will leave."
With that, Long Yin strode away.
As long as you Xin family dare to say that, then well, I, Long Yin, can tell the world - I will not break the contract! I am willing to marry Xin Yao, and I can marry at any time! When the time comes, your Xin family will be difficult to ride a tiger!
Whether you want to save face or lining, you Xin family will do it yourself, and it has nothing to do with me.
Being poor does not mean that there is no dignity.
Behind her, Mrs. Yuehua's face suddenly became solemn. After Long Yin left, the glass jar in her hand was crushed fiercely.
