Chapter 33: The Foreground: The Lantern Festival (4)
He Su Yanlin is only focused on the two major things of obtaining Xuanning divine power and becoming the co-leader of Jingyun, and he has never taken the private feelings of his children to heart, but he will actually reflect the figure of his wife in his mind.
He married her, but it was never because of love!
For a while, I heard Le Zhengrou calling him "brother" when he was young, and for a while, I saw Le Zhengrou not hesitate to break with his family in order to marry him, and he was scarred and fell in a pool of blood.
It was the first time he felt heartache since he was a child.
Seeing Su Yanlin standing still, Gan Tian'er was also embarrassed, so she reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Childe, otherwise we won't write it! Anyway, the lotus river lantern is nothing good, I don't want it at all." ”
"Yes, why not!" With that, Su Yanlin took the brush and note from the middle-aged man's hand and came to the table.
Le Zhengrou's figure was still lingering in his mind, and he wanted to write their names on paper, but reason quickly stopped him from this crazy idea.
He is the lord of the clan, the dignified Netherworld Demon Emperor. If it is known to everyone that he only thinks about romance and love, how can he stand in the future, and the prestige he has worked so hard to build must not collapse like this.
After thinking about it, he finally picked up a pen and wrote the line "I wish Su Yanlin to dominate the world as soon as possible" on the paper.
"Sue, Flame, Lin...... Is this your real name?"
Su Yanlin glanced at her and said, "What's the matter, your father and mother can name you, can't I have a name?" or do you think ...... I was born without a name?"
Gan Tian'er quickly put away her curiosity, and no longer talked to him, just hoping that he would be able to beat Zhou Sumo and successfully obtain the Lotus River Lantern.
The middle-aged man walked over and pointed to the elevated highway and said with a smile: "Since the two of you have already written your wishes, then please go and get the Lotus River Lantern! Whoever gets the Lotus River Lantern first will become the leader of this conference and win one hundred taels of silver!"
"Zhou Gongzi, I will remember that you are sincere to Jiao'er, and then you have a great relationship with the young castle master, I will never hurt you today. So...... Do you dare not use your cultivation to compete with me as an ordinary person for spiritual power?"
Straightening his sleeves, he suddenly asked his opponent this sentence.
Hearing this suggestion, Zhou Sumo showed a look of uneagerness: "It's rare that the two of us will have the same idea, so it's decided, no one is allowed to use the spiritual power of cultivation, and the one who gets the Lotus River Lantern first will be considered a victory, otherwise it will be considered a loss." ”
After the discussion, both of them rushed towards the lotus river lantern at the top of the elevated highway as fast as they could.
A group of people watching the excitement under the high stage kept shouting cheers for the two of them.
And Xuan Weiyi and Gan Tian'er were still standing on the stage, each holding a note in their hands. For Xuan Weiyi, it doesn't matter if she has a lotus river lantern or not, because she really can't be interested in those children's things.
Gan Tian'er also took the note written by her master and looked at it: "Su, Yan, Lin...... What a nice name, why didn't I know it before? ”
Don't say it's her, there are very few people in the entire Jingyun Continent who still remember Su Yanlin's real name, and when he mentions him, he will only think of him as the master of the Demon Palace, a shameless scum, and the source of all evil.
At this moment, Gan Tian'er didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, but it was a pity that she couldn't appear on the same piece of paper as the Demon Emperor's name.
It was already a great gift to be able to accompany him out, how could she dare to have other extravagant hopes! The only thing she looked forward to was that she hoped that today would not be over so soon.
"Do you like Su Gongzi?" Seeing that she was alone with a note in a daze and seemed to have something on her mind, Xuan Weiyi naturally asked that sentence.
Gan Tian'er was asked for a while, this is something she has never dared to think of, she was actually asked by Xuan Weiyi like this, how should she answer?
After thinking about it for a long time, Gan Tian'er blessed Xuan Weiyi slightly: "Thank you to the young castle lord for the matter of Fang Cai, may the young castle lord and Zhou Shaoxia be in harmony with each other, and love to the white."
Between me and him...... I'm afraid that the young castle lord has misunderstood, and I and the emperor are not as you think. It's just that going out today is not like being in the Netherworld, in order to save unnecessary trouble, I am commensurate with my son, and I am still just a humble maid by his side. ”
Xuan Weiyi stretched out her hand very friendly: "Although it is the first time we met, I inexplicably think that you are a very good girl, if there is anything unspeakable, you might as well say it, maybe I can solve your problems."
But there is one sentence I still have to remind, since Su Yanlin already has a wife that Ming Media is marrying and a child who is about to be born, you should carefully weigh your status in his mind, after all, a lovely person like a girl...... It's too aggrieved to be a concubine. ”
"The young castle lord's kindness, Tian'er understands it. People like me who have a thin life have long since stopped expecting any love and love...... That's not what I should have. ”
After saying that, Gan Tian'er retreated to the side, only looking at Su Yanlin not far away.
Xuan Weiyi couldn't help but sigh: "Su Yanlin, you can't control him, even Le Zhengrou doesn't have that ability......"
is also a woman, how can she not know the heart of sweet children. But she also knew that Gan Tian'er had no chance at all, because she didn't have a younger brother like Le Zhengrou who could restrain Su Yanlin.
Simply, immortal cultivators have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, and as long as she wants, she can always stay by his side as a servant.
Everyone looked intently at the two of them who were climbing on the elevated road, and everyone wondered who would be the luckiest person this year.
And both of them abided by the "gentleman's agreement", and neither of them touched the spiritual power of cultivation, but just worked hard to climb up. They also all want to be like ordinary people, relying on their own strength to win the lotus river lantern for the people who are waiting for them.
Despite this, the two were still evenly matched, and they were at the same height for a long time. Seeing that the two of them were getting closer and closer to the lotus river lantern at the top, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Su Yanlin suddenly lowered his head to look at Gan Tian'er on the stage, and Gan Tian'er was also looking at him.
When they looked at each other, he seemed to see something different in her eyes. It was a very gentle look, just like the way Le Zhengrou looked at him.
Thinking of his wife, Su Yanlin's shadow really appeared in front of his eyes, and he clearly saw that it was Le Zhengrou who was standing on the stage and staring at him was Le Zhengrou in white shirts and Shengxue.
He clearly saw that she was smiling at herself, her smile was so sweet and beautiful, Su Yanlin unconsciously reciprocated the same smile to her, "Rou'er, why are you here?"
But soon, in the blink of an eye, Le Zhengrou, who was originally smiling at him, suddenly dissipated like the wind, and was replaced by Gan Tian'er's smile.
It turned out that everything was an illusion, caused by missing her too much.
Le Zhengrou was wronged, and now she must still be injured, how can she appear here. I don't know, he snubbed her ruthlessly, will she hate herself? Did she use the fetal pills that Yaoke gave her?
Just when he was missing his wife, he was suddenly pulled back by a burst of applause, it turned out that Zhou Sumo had climbed to the top and reached out to pick up the lotus river lamp.
Seeing that he had lost the game, Su Yanlin was so anxious that he stepped on the air and fell straight down.
"Childe be careful!" The panicked Gan Tian'er shouted loudly and ran to the audience, her concern for him was obvious, and it was no longer as simple as her subordinates treating their masters.
For a while, Su Yanlin actually forgot that he was a person who knew martial arts, so he let his body fall down, and the spectators in the audience suddenly became nervous again.
"I broke the promise and you won. Zhou Sumo handed the lotus river lantern to Su Yanlin.
It turned out that although Zhou Sumo had already gotten the Lotus River Lantern, he still used mana to save people.
Su Yanlin, who was in a daze, recalled that it was indeed Zhou Sumo who saved him at the critical moment, and it was he who cast a spell at the critical moment to make his falling feet step on a cloud of mist and fall to the ground gently, so that he was spared.
Only then did the people know that Zhou Sumo was actually an immortal cultivator and had a chivalrous heart, and they applauded him one after another, as if this young man was the hope of the future of Jingyun Continent.
At this time, the Liu girls rushed to him with the middle-aged man with the note.
The middle-aged man saw that the Lotus River Lantern was held by Su Yanlin in his hand, and announced that he was the winner of this lantern festival on the spot, and held a hundred taels of silver in front of him with a smile: "This son, congratulations." ”
Almost without a moment's hesitation, Su Yanlin naturally pushed the silver back into the middle-aged man's hand: "I only need this lotus river lamp, the silver ...... It was used to help the poor people. ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at him with admiration: "It is really commendable that the son is so kind-hearted at such a young age. ”
With the sound of applause and thanks, Su Yanlin fell into confusion again, he was a terrifying Demon Emperor! He was the worst and worst person in Jingyun Continent, why would anyone applaud him?
In the face of these sudden applause, there was still a little joy in his heart for a moment, but this emotion went faster than it came, he was a dignified demon emperor, how could he be in the company of these people?
He even wanted to throw away the lotus lantern, but he gave up this idea because of the sincerity in Zhou Sumo's eyes, "Thank you, I will return the favor to you." ”
After that, he walked straight to Gan Tian'er: "Follow me to put the river lantern." ”
"Okay, let's go put the river lanterns. Gan Tian'er nodded busily.
When passing by Zhou Sumo, Su Yanlin patted him on the shoulder in a rare and friendly manner: "You are worthy of being Zhou Dingkun's son, I hope your fate will be better than your father." ”
