Chapter 19: Ling Shuang'er
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly in his heart, the Great Elder was determined to pull him to the thief ship.
In this way, Ling Xiao would not be able to become a great elder.
The Great Elder's cultivation was the highest among the seven elders, the tenth level of Xuan Qi, and it was also the highest in the entire Star Moon City.
But the Great Elder has an extremely worrying future, the only son has to die of a strange illness, leaving only one daughter, Ling Shuang'er, who will pass on the family business to?
The Third Elder has two sons who are eyeing each other, and his power has developed rapidly because of this, although his cultivation is only the eighth level of Xuanqi, it is enough to be the strong right-hand man of the Third Elder.
Only the three elders dared to challenge the authority of the Great Elder with the cultivation of the ninth level of Xuanqi.
There are also rumors that the three elders have advanced to the tenth level of Xuan Qi, and I don't know if it's true or not.
Who is willing to sit in a secure seat and let people easily?
How could the Great Elder sit and die?
In the past, the intra-clan struggle was just a competition for some interests, and Ling Xiao could stay out of it.
But the contradiction has developed to this day, and it has become a struggle for power, and Ling Xiao is afraid that he will not be able to hide if he wants to.
If the Great Elder's marriage proposal is refused, it is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of the Great Elder.
If he accepted it, it would be tantamount to announcing to the world that he, Ling Xiao, no longer maintained neutrality, but stood with the Great Elder and became the enemy of the Third Elder.
It's really a knife to stretch out your head, and it's also a knife to shrink your head!
"Thank you for the kindness of the Great Elder, it's just that Shuang'er, this kid has a very high heart, how can he marry my dog who has no hope!"
"You don't have to worry about that, I'm here!"
Ling Xiao had no excuse to refuse, so he had to nod in agreement.
Afterwards, Ling Xiao said goodbye to the Great Elder and left, saying that he would tell Ling Yu the good news...
……………………………………
After Ling Xiao left, a person walked out from behind the screen and asked in a worried tone:
"Does the Great Elder really want to marry Miss Shuang'er to that kid Ling Yu? That's a child with an uncertain future, doesn't this ruin Miss's life? “
"Frost, that kid will be a member of the Ice Immortal Palace sooner or later..."
Speaking of this, the Great Elder looked around, for fear that if he said the three words of the Ice Immortal Palace, the people of the Ice Immortal Palace would fall from the sky.
"When you arrive at the Ice Immortal Palace, Shuang'er's fate is completely in the hands of the palace master, and neither Shuang'er nor I have the right to ask, let alone Ling Yu, an outsider? All he got was an empty promise.
Furthermore, with the future of Frost in the Ice Immortal Palace, if Ling Yu had self-knowledge, he should no longer have the heart to cling..."
"Even if there is the Ice Immortal Palace, why don't the Great Elders ask them to solve this matter?"
"Not to mention that as the identity of the Ice Immortal Palace, are you willing to take care of our, even if you really agree to manage it, I'm afraid it's too late in time!"
"Could it be that the Third Elder's side is not afraid of the power of the Ice Immortal Palace? Do they dare to move Miss Frost? That's the person the Ice Immortal Palace wants. “
"Having said that, the three elders must have a way to deal with it, otherwise how could they press me step by step? As for how to serve Shuang'er, it is very likely that after seizing power, he used my old life as a threat to force Shuang'er to comply. When Shuang'er and the people from the Ice Immortal Palace leave and come back, I don't know how many years it will be, and it's hard to say if they can see me again..."
Speaking of this, it is very sad.
Both were silent, and after a long time the man asked:
"What if Miss Shuang'er would rather die than obey according to Miss Shuang'er's temperament?"
"Alas!"
The Great Elder sighed before he could speak.
"If my son were still alive, he wouldn't have made such a decision.
It is because I am ashamed of my ancestors, and the people below my generation have withered to the point where they cannot be sustained.
If I can't even keep the existing people in the clan, how can I have the face to see the ancestors and ancestors after I die?
It's true that I'm hurting the frost, but when it comes to the lives of more than 200 people in my clan, how can I not tell which is more important?
I regard her as a jewel in my palm, but I can't trade the lives of my whole clan for her future happiness.
I can only wronged her, and it's a big deal that I personally asked her to explain this matter and begged her to agree..."
Speaking of this, there was a look of helplessness.
"Grandpa, you don't have to explain it to your grandson, your grandson just agrees."
The master and servant were both shocked, not knowing when Ling Shuang'er would come in and whether she had heard all the conversation between the two.
The Great Elder actually had a feeling that he couldn't face his grandson at this moment.
Is it so difficult that for the sake of the lives of the whole clan, should you really sacrifice the happiness of your granddaughter?
Is there no other way to think of it?
looked at her fifteen-year-old granddaughter at this time, she had already become a big girl.
Who in the clan doesn't admit that this grandson of theirs is the most beautiful beauty embryo in Xingyue City?
gave Ling Yu that kid, it's really a tyrannical thing!
"Shuang'er, it's grandpa who wronged you!"
Speaking of this, the great elder of the clan almost shed tears, the fate of the largest clan in the clan was reduced to the point of relying on the happiness of a girl to save it, how could it not be sad?
"It's okay, I can share my grandfather's worries, and my grandson can't ask for it, but it's a pity that I'm not a man, otherwise..."
"Don't talk about it, grandpa understands..."
“……“
……………………………
Ling Xiao returned home, found Ling Yu, and told him what had happened.
"Yes, Ling Shuang'er is a beautiful embryo, I can't ask for it!"
Ling Yu looked indifferent.
"If only it were as simple as you said. This frost and you are like the moon in the water, the flowers in the mirror, you can see but you can't touch it. “
"What do you say?"
Ling Yu touched his chin and asked.
"Ling Shuang'er is a member of the Ice Immortal Palace sooner or later, and the disciples of the Ice Immortal Palace are not allowed to get married."
"What?" Ling Yu was quite surprised, "What kind of rule is this?" What is the difference between this and becoming a nun? Ling Shuang'er and other beauties, do they want to defend the ice-breaking fairy palace for a lifetime? “
"Actually, it's not, it's all because the exercises of the Ice Immortal Palace are extremely special, not to mention that the disciples are required to have a cold physique, but also have an indifferent temperament and break off love, so that they can achieve great success.
At the beginning, the Lord of the Ice Immortal Palace took a fancy to Shuang'er's cold body, and she was even more indifferent, and she was an excellent candidate for cultivating the exercises of the Ice Immortal Palace, so he made an exception to accept her as an apprentice. “
"The Great Elder knows that this matter will not work, why is he still working with me? Isn't that playing tricks on us? “
"It's also a helpless move for the Great Elder to do this, some of the main positions in Star-Moon City, after nearly ten years of operation by the Third Elder, are almost all of the Three Elders' people.
His two sons had both successfully advanced to the eighth rank of Xuan Qi, and their overall strength had surpassed that of the Great Elder.
If the Great Elder doesn't do it again, I'm afraid there will be no more chances. “
"So you use the method of marriage to pull my father and me into the water? Doesn't that put us in crisis? “
Ling Yujue's technique was a bit indiscriminate, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Ling Xiaoli said silently, "If you don't like it, I can ask the Great Elder..."
"Father, it doesn't have to be like this, I don't care. I don't dislike Ling Shuang'er, I just think that the Great Elder's trick is too inauthentic, and I feel like I've been trapped. “
"I feel the same way as you, but the Third Elder is a narrow-minded person, even if we don't marry the Great Elder, after removing the obstacle of the Great Elder, we will deal with you and my father and son, in fact, we and the Great Elder are natural allies."
"Yu'er understands, what you mean is that even if there is no marriage, we have to stand on the side of the Great Elder."
Ling Xiao nodded.
At this point, what else could Ling Yu say, his father had been forced to agree to this matter, did he still have to force his father to make a repentance?
Isn't this a situation where my father is trapped in a situation where he has no faith in his word?
Therefore, even if Ling Yu could refuse, he would not do so.
The other thing, in fact, is the most important thing, that is, this matter is in line with his own thoughts, and this water is really muddy...
