The waiter took the two to a side hall on the ground, and sent people to bring wine, refreshments, and other things.

Qing Ling paced around, curiously studying the furnishings and objects in the hall.

On the east wall hangs a portrait of a woman with a very beautiful face and a delicate demeanor, who is the young lady of Daze Baili, Baili Ningyan.

Qing Ling stared at the woman in the painting for a long time and muttered, "Your sister is very beautiful." On the day of the Gan Yuan Conference, I watched the game with a clear mirror, and every time she appeared, everyone stared at her in a daze. ”

Even Mu Chen thinks she is good-looking......

Luo Yao also walked over and raised his eyes, "This is my mother." ”

"Oh?"

Qing Ling's eyes widened, and then he looked at the portrait carefully, only to notice that the person in the painting had a smile on his face, and his expression was very lively, which was indeed not quite the same as the cold smoke of the condensation.

Luo Yao stood beside Qing Ling, was silent for a while, and asked thoughtfully, "Do you know who your parents are?" ”

"My parents?"

Qing Ling was a little absent-minded, "Master said that they are from Huaizhou, surnamed Meng, and they were injured by gangsters on the way to visit relatives in Fuyang. Master happened to pass by and saved them. My father died of his injuries, and my mother gave birth to me and died soon after. So, Master adopted me. She has no impression of her biological parents, so it is difficult for her to have any strong feelings.

Luo Yao asked again: "What about your relatives in Huaizhou and Fuyang?" Have you contacted them? ”

Qing Ling shook his head, "I lived well in Chongwu, and I didn't think to contact them. Besides, they haven't come to me either. ”

Moreover, after today's turmoil, she has lost interest in contacting relatives even more. If you accidentally put on an uncle who is as crazy as Luo Heng, it is estimated that your intestines will be repentant......

Luo Yao wanted to ask something more, but saw Qing Ling suddenly turn around, paced a few steps forward, and stopped in front of a bronze wolf beast statue.

She seemed to be thinking about something, and her tone was a little erratic, "Your mother and your sister are both women from aristocratic families, and they are both so good-looking...... No wonder ......"

She paused, raised her hand to stroke the lines on the bronze statue, and whispered: "I used to listen to the opera, and it talked about those ladies in it, huh...... He spoke very politely and behaved very elegantly, just like ...... Just like Monan Shiyin. ”

She turned her head to look at Luo Yao, and asked expectantly, "You guys...... Male, aren't they all ...... Do you prefer something like Miss Monan? ”

This question has actually been lingering in her heart for a long time, but she can't find the right person to ask, and now she is aroused by the beauty picture, so she can't help but open her mouth.

Luo Yao studied Qing Ling's expression, and after a while, he spit out two words briefly: "No." ”

"Really?"

Qing Ling lowered his head and strolled around, ostensibly admiring the furnishings, but his fingers unconsciously wrapped around the tassels on the ribbon around his waist, round and round.

As if she remembered something, she muttered to herself, "Oh, by the way, you're different, you like ...... like Ajing"

Luo Yao followed behind Qing Ling, his gaze resting on her long black and silky hair.

The girl's posture was graceful, and she bowed her head slightly and twisted her waist, driving the green silk to rise and fall. The thick black surged into his eyes, blurring, spreading and devouring everything infinitely, until it formed a wall that separated the two men in two different worlds......

Qing Ling continued to wrap around the spike, and her fingertips turned a little white, "What about the slender one?" Do you guys like it? ”

"Perhaps......"

Luo Yao's voice sounded coldly, revealing a hint of irritability, "But he will never marry her." ”

Qing Ling's hand moved, turned his head, and looked at Luo Yao in surprise.

Luo Yao smiled and smiled, "You asked so many questions around and around, didn't you just want to know what kind of woman Mu Chen would like?" I don't know what kind of wife he likes, but I can tell you what kind of woman he will marry. ”

Qing Ling's face was full of shame. She opened her mouth, stopped talking, and finally fell silent again, waiting silently.

"That woman, regardless of her appearance and character, must be the one who can help him ascend to the throne of Emperor Chaoyan. Her family, the power and status of the family, are far more important than her own talent and ability. ”

Qing Ling subconsciously bit his lip, "How do you know?" ”

"Because he was in his current position, he had no other choice. If you retreat, you can only run for your life for the rest of your life. entered, and must be ruthless to win the throne. He has five brothers, three of whom are adults, and Mu Han is the queen of the Fangshan clan, if he wants to fight with them, he must use the people and relationships that can be used together. And of all these relationships, there is nothing stronger than marriage and blood. ”

Luo Yao felt a cruelty in his heart, and laughed mockingly, "However, as I said before, you may not have no chance. You will never give up and help him with all your strength when he is at his worst, even if you can't become his queen in the future, you will have the opportunity to become his most trusted concubine. Compared to the other women in the palace, he was lucky. ”

Qing Ling blushed as if she was about to drip blood, "What concubine?" What nonsense are you talking about! ”

She turned around in shame, suppressing her slightly chaotic breathing, scolding Luo Yao angrily in her heart, and at the same time feeling ashamed of her clumsy desire to cover up.

Xiao Qi likes Ajing and can admit it generously, why don't you have the courage?

She raised her hand and brought it to her lips, her teeth gently biting the back of her hand, her heart fluttering and empty, and her mind suddenly reappeared Mu Chen's question that day -

"What do you want to get by following me?"

Luo Yao stood silently, his figure hidden in the shadows cast by the palace curtain between the walls, revealing a touch of loneliness.

He also felt flustered in his heart, he had always been calm and self-controlled, and he knew how to speak wisely and well, but he had that moment of loss of control......

Both of them were silent, each thinking about their own thoughts, and did not say anything more.

After a while, the door of the temple was opened from the outside, and the woman in the fine costume, still wearing a hat, stepped into the hall with two maids.

Luo Yao restrained his emotions, took a few steps forward, and paused suddenly, not knowing how to salute or call him for a while.

In fact, he already knew in his heart that she was his mother.

Within the Nine Hills, who else can speak to Luo Heng in that tone?

But the refusal of more than 300 years finally made him cowardly.

Time shuttles, years turn, her warm hands, soft voice, and embrace full of floral fragrance, but will it be the same as in the past?

The woman looked at Luo Yao from behind the veil, sighed softly, and said slowly, "Ah Yao, you have grown up. ”

Luo Yao had a string in his chest that snapped.

For more than 300 years, he had imagined countless times when he would see his mother again.

The obsession of begging, questioning, and taking her home at all costs!

But when she stood in front of him and called herself "Ah Yao" like when she was young, he felt satisfied......

Luo Yao suppressed his emotions and fell to his knees, "The child has seen his mother. ”

Luo Jia stretched out his hand and stroked his son's cheek, with a smile in his tone, "Look what I'm missing...... You wouldn't have done that before. ”

She picked up Luo Yao, looked behind him, and asked, "This is your fiancée?" ”

Before Luo Yao could speak, Qing Ling hurriedly shook his hand, "No, no!" I'm actually Xiaoqi's...... Oh no, Luo Yao's senior sister! We came up with this idea so that you agreed to meet him! ”

Although she couldn't see Luo Li's expression clearly through the hood, Qing Ling could still feel that she was looking at herself carefully.

Qing Ling was embarrassed, and involuntarily moved a few steps towards the door, and stammered, "That, you haven't seen each other for so long, you must have a lot to talk about." Me, I'm going to go out and hang out......"

Luo Ji saw Qing Ling's crampedness, so he instructed the maid: "Caiyi, you take this young lady around." Xue Hui, you go outside the door and don't let anyone approach. ”

The maids were ordered to exit the palace gate, and Qing Ling followed quickly, took a few steps, hesitated to stop, turned his head and smiled encouragingly at Luo Yao.

The so-called siblings are not people who can get along after a fight?

Luo Jia looked at Qing Ling's back, was silent for a moment, and muttered, "It's really like ......"

"Much like whom?" Luo Yao's heart was already full of questions, "Who is the person in my uncle's mouth?" ”

Luo Jia sighed lightly, pulled his son to sit down on the soft couch, raised his hand to untie the straps of the hat, and slowly took off the hat.

What jumped into Luo Yao's eyes was a strange and old face.

The corners of the eyes and lips are full of miserable wrinkles, and the hair on the sideburns is gray, making the eyes that are still clear and charming look a little incongruous.

Luo Yao was stunned and almost stood up, "Mother...... You...... What's going on? ”

The mother in my memory is a beauty like Ning Yan, with bright eyes and moon eyebrows, red lips and jade face. And the person in front of him has the same voice and eyes as his mother, and even the outline of his facial features is vaguely recognizable, but the strangeness is shocking!

Luo Xuan lowered his eyes, and the shallow arc of his mouth revealed bitterness, "This is the risk that you have to take as a Jiuqiu Luo clan." I thought I'd be able to escape, but I couldn't. ”

She stretched out her hand, held Luo Yao's hand in the palm of her hand, raised her eyes to look at him, and said slowly: "At the beginning, I didn't want to see you, because I was afraid that I would be soft-hearted. Later, I heard about the conversation between you and Luo Heng, and understood that he actually wanted to polish your temperament, so I couldn't see you. Can it be ...... later. But I'm afraid that my appearance will scare you. ”

Luo Yao held his mother's hand and tried to make his voice sound calm, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Luo Jian said: "At the beginning of the birth of life in heaven and earth, most of the creatures in the world existed in the form of birds and beasts, and then cultivated and transformed by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon. The best of them was reborn as a Protoss. Our ancestor was originally a powerful wolf beast, and if he cultivated in a normal order, he should also transform into a god clan without any surprise. But in this process, I don't know what accident happened, the ancestor did not complete the due steps, and lost the beast form.

Because of this, our cultivation methods are different from those of other god races, and sometimes, even closer to the demon race. It is also for this reason that many of the primitive, wolf-related traits have been passed down in our bloodline. Wolves are very loyal animals, and they will only have one companion in their lives. Once you decide to give sincerely, it is a lifelong thing. Therefore, for the wolf clan, the pain of losing a lover is almost fatal and unbearable. ”

Luo Jia paused and smiled effortlessly, "For so many years, the people of Jiuqiu have been looking forward to me remarrying and giving birth to an heir with demon blood. But they didn't know that there was no way I could accept another person.

Luo Heng is the same as me. He once loved a woman dearly, but eventually lost her. This kind of pain soaked into my bone marrow, and I lost the face that I was proud of. And when it fell on Luo Heng, it created his crazy temperament.

On that day, he lost his love, and his temper became brutal and weird, not only raising troops to attack Chaoyan, but also slaughtering tens of thousands of innocent Protoss civilians in cold blood. Every time a city is conquered, it slaughters all the people of the city, men, women, and children...... Later, Jiuqiu was defeated, but he still refused to give up. In desperation, my younger brother Ah Xuan did not hesitate to sacrifice his life, tried his whole life, and cast a sealing technique on Luo Heng, so that he could not set foot outside the Nine Hills, and gave me the ability to contain him to a certain extent. Hundreds of years have passed, Luo Heng's temperament has gradually calmed down, but once he sees a woman who looks like A Luo, he still can't help but lose his temper and go crazy. Once I came to my senses, it was a different kind of bleak situation......"

Luo Yao remembered the situation outside the gate of Shicai Palace, and couldn't help but fall silent.

Crazy for love, crazy for love. This kind of loyalty inherited in the bloodline is more like a curse.

Involuntarily, he thought of Qing Ling, the awkward conversation between the two just now, and the inexplicable loss of control......

"Qingling, she...... Is it really like the woman my uncle likes? ”

Luo Jian thought for a while, "Just looking at the appearance, it is indeed very similar." But the demeanor and temperament are completely different. ”

"Is it possible...... Are they related by blood? ”

Luo Jia shook his head firmly, "That's not going to happen." Arlo has no blood relatives and no heirs. ”
