Lu Qingchen's nose was sour, and he said to himself: "I'm sorry, Zixue ......"

He has a grievance, but he can't explain it.

This is the end of the candidacy for the prohibition.

Lu Qingchen silently returned to the Lu Mansion, he didn't have the face to see his father, and hid in the room alone.

He didn't dare to look at his father's disappointed eyes, nor did he dare to look at the strange expressions of the people in the house.

I just want to hide alone and see no one.

Thinking back to Zhao Zixue in his mind, his heart was inexplicably sour and depressed, is it still possible for him and Zhao Zixue?

It is probably impossible for him to continue to cultivate martial arts in this life, and Zhao Zixue has a bright future.

Maybe they are in love, but does Zhao Zixue's family agree to her marrying a wreck?

Probably not, right?

Lu Qingchen was depressed, sat up, rotated his ten fingers, and pointed at the major points on his body.

This is the basic mental method "Gathering Qi Decision" that is common in the Xianyun Continent.

When a martial artist runs the "Qi Gathering Technique", he can absorb the free essence between heaven and earth, and after the essence is precipitated in the meridians, it can be transformed into the unique martial energy of the human body.

The level of martial energy in the body is the basis for dividing the martial arts class.

In the Xianyun Continent, the warrior class is divided into four realms: the sun, the moon, the stars, and the stars.

Each major realm is divided into three levels: small, medium and large, and each of them is divided into nine levels.

Lu Qingchen is the lowest Chen realm, and his cultivation is the third Ming of the small Chen position.

The standard for the Praetorian Guard candidate to pass is Xiao Chen's Wuming, and he is two levels behind!

Lu Qingchen skillfully operated his mental method, and a trace of light could be seen with the naked eye, converging into his Heavenly Spirit Gai from the atmosphere in all directions, and slowly blending into it.

It was then transformed into martial qi in the meridians, but Lu Qingchen did not use it to improve his cultivation, but instilled a jade pendant into his chest.

He was about to continue his cultivation when there was a knock on the door.

"Light dust." A soft sigh full of care fell into his ears.

Lu Qingchen opened the door and looked, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing a purple and gold crown on his head, standing at the door without anger.

"Father." Lu Qingchen lowered his head, ashamed of his father Lu Cangliu.

He used to be his father's pride, but now, he must be a burden that makes people laugh, right?

"Lift your chest!" Lu Cangliu drank lightly: "The hardships of life are not to be passed by bowing your head, but to face them with your head raised and your chest straight!" ”

Lu Qingchen was encouraged in his heart, straightened up, and said, "The child is taught!" ”

Lu Cangliu's eyes were gentle, and he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "My father didn't go to the barracks to pick you up, but he was meeting an important guest." ”

Opening his eyes slightly, Lu Qingchen said, "Is it related to me?" ”

Fathers usually don't tell him about family affairs.

deliberately mentioned it, most of it is related to him.

"Yes." Lu Cangliu said: "He is a friend of yours in the past, and he has been waiting for you in the clan until now. ”

"Former friends, wait for me?" Lu Qingchen was surprised.

He is as down-and-out as dust, and he still has friends to visit? The friends who used to surround him have all left him in the past three years.

Besides, to be personally received by his father, his status should not be low.

He couldn't remember knowing such a friend.

"Who is it?" Lu Qingchen asked.

Lu Cangliu's tone was heavy: "Jiang Xuling." ”

It's him? Lu Qingchen's expression was complicated.

The peerless genius who was called the Lonely Boat Double Star with him back then, Jiang Xuling!

Now he is the deputy general of the forbidden army and has a lofty status.

Father had to be polite in front of him, and he didn't dare to slack off.

Lu Qingchen couldn't even be a soldier of the forbidden army.

What he was puzzled about was that there was no friendship between him and Jiang Xuling.

To be precise, Jiang Xuling always has a faint hostility towards him, I don't know if it's because the two are equally famous, or because of other reasons.

Since he was promoted to deputy general and left the candidate barracks, the two have never seen each other.

After a year, how can you suddenly come to visit?

"Qingchen, if you don't want to see him, send him away for your father." Lu Cangliu knew his son's knot.

Lu Qingchen thought for a while and laughed at himself: "Zhao Zixue has seen everything, is there anything more embarrassing than seeing her?" ”

Lujia Guest Hall.

Lu Qilin, Lu Jian and other family cores politely accompanied a handsome and extraordinary fair-skinned young man.

The maidservants of the clan looked at him shyly, and the colors of appreciation and admiration were clear at a glance.

He is the genius boy who moves the lonely boat, Jiang Xuling!

Like Lu Qingchen, he is only seventeen years old.

The difference is that the spirit is high-spirited and the future is bright.

Beside him was a bearded old man dressed in court attire, his skin showing a sickly pale, half-squinted, as if he had woken up from sleep.

He didn't pay attention to other people's questions, and he was extremely arrogant.

It wasn't until Lu Qingchen came in that he opened his eyes slightly and looked at them, and then slowly closed his eyes.

"Lu Qingchen, I haven't seen you for a long time." Jiang Xuling smiled, and his tone was like a friend he hadn't seen for many years.

But he sat firmly in the guest seat, not moving at all, and did not have the slightest intention of getting up to greet him.

He looked at Lu Qingchen from head to toe with scrutinizing eyes, and sighed regretfully: "I heard that you are still Xiaochen Sanming, and you haven't grown at all, but it's a pity, I used to regard you as a lifelong rival!" ”

Lu Qingchen was calm, sat opposite him, and said, "Vice General Jiang, please tell me directly." ”

The words are not speculative, and he and this "friend" really have no common language.

"Presumptuous!" A sharp scolding like a duck fell into his ears.

But it was the old man who didn't need the palace to have round eyes, and scolded Lu Qingchen: "The one in front of you is the deputy general of the Imperial City Praetorian Guard personally given by the monarch!" How can you sit in front of him? Why don't you kneel down quickly? ”

Everyone in Lu Fuzhong was surprised.

Praetorian Guards of the Imperial City?

Lonely Boat City is just an ordinary city in the Principality of the Heavenly Wind.

The Imperial City is the center of the Principality of the Heavenly Wind.

The Praetorian Guards of the Imperial City are more than a step stronger than the Praetorian Guards of the Lonely Boat City!

Jiang Xuling was transferred to the Imperial City, which can be said to be a steady progress!

"Hehe, Gonggong Chen, don't get excited, the void spirit has not officially performed his duties, so he has no official position, and it doesn't matter if Lu Qingchen kneels or not." Jiang Xuling smiled lightly: "What's more, we are both candidates for the forbidden army, and it is nothing if he doesn't kneel for this friendship." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Qingchen with a smile: "As Gonggong Chen said, Jiang was recently summoned by the monarch in person and will be transferred to the imperial city, Brother Lu don't care." ”

Lu Qingchen's heart is full of mixed tastes.

Today I almost fell to my knees at the feet of my peers who were famous in the past!

How ironic and sad is this?

"Congratulations to General Jiang." Lu Qingchen was neither humble nor arrogant.

Jiang Xuling accepted it with a faint smile and said, "Since Brother Lu showed up, then Jiang Mou said it bluntly." ”

He clapped his palms, and the two little guys standing behind him each took out two purple gold wooden boxes, one large and one small.

The wooden box opened, and a night pearl the size of a fist shone brightly.

Another large wooden box contains seven feet of coral, which is bright and lifelike.

Lu Cangliu only glanced at it, and then frowned: "A hundred years of bright light pearls in the South China Sea, a thousand years of red blood coral!" General Jiang, dare to ask what this means? ”

Jiang Xuling smiled lightly: "It seems that the head of the Lu family still remembers these things, so Jiang will not spare the circle." ”

"Jiang came today to return the dowry gift for the Zhao family, a total of two, please take a look."

Refund the bridal gift?

Lu Cangliu was taken aback and asked calmly: "General Jiang is certainly in a high position, but you have no right to ask about the marriage contract between the Lu family and the Zhao family, right?" ”

Jiang Xuling smiled lightly: "Jiang's status as a general naturally does not have this power, but another identity has the right to push off this family business for the Zhao family." ”

The corners of Chen's mouth beside him hooked, he got up and dusted off his robe, solemnly pulled out a golden scroll, and shouted sharply: "The holy decree has arrived!" ”

Lu Cangliu, Lu Qilin's face changed suddenly, and they all knelt down.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says: Aiqing Jiang Xuling is outstanding, first-class in character and martial arts, Zhao Zixue is virtuous and virtuous, talented and good-looking, I specially give the two a marriage contract, and the marriage will be completed within three years, Qin this!"

Lu Cangliu was shaken, and his old eyes were round.

The king himself gave a marriage contract!!

Lu Qingchen roared in his mind.

His fiancée, Zhao Zixue, was promised by the monarch to marry someone else?

Jiang Xuling said: "The two of you are just relatives in the abdomen, and Zixue and I are given by the emperor's order, you know which is more important!" ”

He put the two purple gold wooden boxes on the table, got up and said leisurely: "The dowry has been returned, and from now on, Zhao Zixue has nothing to do with your Lu Mansion, understand?" ”

A trace of white mixed with silver-gray martial qi was released from his fingertips.

Lu Qilin's pupils shrank: "Zhongchen position three stacks? Hiss! At the age of seventeen, he arrived at the middle of the three stacks, a terrible talent! ”

"Grandpa Chen, let's go." Jiang Xuling turned around with his hands in his hands.

Smack-

"Wait!" Lu Cangliu slapped the case violently, and Huo Ran got up.

Jiang Xuling turned his head lightly: "What's the matter, the head of the Lu family has advice?" ”

Chen Gonggong on one side smiled darkly, cocked his orchid fingers, and a trace of martial energy surrounded him in the palm of his hand.

That's the martial energy of the small star position of the Star Realm!!

In the entire Heavenly Wind Principality, there are no more than ten Star Realm-level powerhouses!

The monarch appointed a star realm-level powerhouse to protect him all the way, which shows the importance he attaches to him!

Lu Cangliu didn't get angry, but bowed down: "General Jiang, please give up this marriage contract for the sake of your colleagues with Lu Qingchen in the past, Zhao Zixue is just an ordinary woman to you, but to my son, she is the most cherished lover!" ”

As a man of heaven and earth, he turned over and pleaded with others.

Jiang Xuling smiled faintly: "You are wrong, Zhao Zixue is not an ordinary woman, she is the woman that the prince of the imperial city also wants?" The fame is so great, it has been rated as the peerless double of the principality, it is a peerless beauty that is difficult to find in the world, I spent a lot of time to ask the monarch to give me a marriage, does the head of the Lu family think I will give up the marriage contract easily? ”

When it came to the marriage contract, a trace of greed crossed Jiang Xuling's eyes.

Since seeing Zhao Zixue for the first time, Jiang Xuling has been deeply infatuated with her when he was young.

He had sworn that he would get his hands on this woman.

Now it's half the battle.

"Please be gracious General Jiang! The Lu Mansion is willing to pay any price, just ask General Jiang to raise his noble hand! Lu Cangliu bent deeper and more humblely.

He understood his son's state of mind.

Losing the future of martial arts is already a devastating blow, and if the lover who is the goal of his life is also lost, he can't think of any reason for his son to live.

Even if you live, you will be the walking dead from now on!

"Little Lu Mansion, I can't pay the price Jiang wants." Jiang Xuling said lightly.

Looking at Lu Qingchen, who was distracted, he smiled: "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, for the sake of a useless son, they are willing to turn over and beg for help, I have to admit that Lu Qingchen has a good father." ”

"But ......" Jiang Xuling stared at him, no longer hiding his contempt: "To tell the truth, even without me Jiang Xuling, your son is worthy of Zhao Zixue?" They go day by day, by earth, and never bear fruit. ”

After speaking, he walked lightly and left the Lu family.

The atmosphere in the room was eerie, some people felt embarrassed and angry, and some people gloated.

Lu Cangliu's plea was fruitless, and he was stunned for a long time before getting up and looking at his son worriedly.

Who knew that his face was too calm, and there was not a trace of anger or sorrow.

But the more this is the case, the more ominous Lu Cangliu feels.

The double blow of destruction is beyond the reach of an adult, not to mention that he is just a child.

"Qingchen, there are so many good women in the world, for my father, I will come to the door for you to ask for a ......"

Lu Qingchen smiled slightly, and comforted him in turn: "Don't worry, I'm fine, Zhao Zixue and I are indeed not people of the same world, and we were not ...... three years ago."

From the moment he fell from the pinnacle of genius to mortality, they were doomed to no result.
