Chapter 327: A Lonely Heart
"You!" Guan Weishan's tone was a little angry, and with a wave of his palm, the dagger flew into his hand, but in the end it didn't stab down. Looking at Lan Jiu's eyes, he asked a little coldly, "Why, is there anything about Shuang'er that is not worthy of you?"
Lan Jiu was speechless for a while, and said helplessly, "It's not a question of worthiness!"
"Then tell me, why? If you marry Shuang'er, you will inherit the entire Tianting Pavilion, which will only be more beneficial to your future... Just like this jade, if you want it, it's just a matter of making a gesture in the future, even if that's the case, why don't you want to!" Guan Weishan asked curiously.
In Lan Jiu's eyes, a glimmer of light flashed, he looked at Guan Weishan, and said with murderous intent in his eyes, "The demon clan is not destroyed, how can it be home!"
"The demon clan has not been destroyed, how can it be home?" Guan Weishan repeated these eight big words in a low voice, and then his whole body trembled, and the whole person stayed in place. Suddenly, as if he had figured out something all of a sudden, he laughed loudly, "Haha, a good demon clan has not been destroyed, how can it be home, is this the way you are pursuing?"
"It's... The demon clan has the enmity of slaughtering the clan against me, if I don't wipe out all the demon clans, what face will I have to talk about marriage?" Lan Jiu asked in a low voice. It's just that in his heart, there is another important reason that he did not reveal.
That is the bottom of his heart, there is a person living from beginning to end, it is Lan Ni.
Even if things are wrong, even if they are full of devastation, even if they are white-haired and snowy, Lan Jiu has never forgotten Lan Ni in his heart. Even, as time went by, the longing and pain in his heart became more and more intense, so he kept hovering on the edge of life and death, only in this way could he really let go of the concern in his heart for a moment.
"We've always called you gray hair, and we don't even know your name... I wonder which family you came from? Let me ask you, when will you consider starting a family?" Guan Weishan took a step back and did not press hard.
"Lan Jiu, the son of the mayor of Landing Town, Ancient Moon City... I understand what you're saying, but I don't want to think about it that much yet... I have already promised the ancestor of the Lan family that I will return to the Magician Academy in half a month and have a qualifying match, and then I will enter the Magician Association and the military forces. In the days when the knife licked the blood, I really didn't want to have a person in my heart who couldn't let go, and I didn't want to one day, I would return to my hometown with my bones and live alone in this world with my sisters. ”
Lan Jiu's words, although they were very reasonable, obviously didn't listen to much of it. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and whispered, "Five years... I'll give you five years to think about it, five years and so on, if it's the same, you're still my son-in-law of Tiantingge... If you haven't changed your mind in five years, it proves that you and Shuang'er have not yet arrived, and I will stop her from being infatuated with you!"
"Thank you seniors for your understanding!" Lan Jiu arched his hand and said with a wry smile.
"By the way, don't get me wrong, the fact that I give you a five-year opportunity doesn't mean that I value and recognize you. But at this time, Guan Weishan continued to speak, "I am a businessman, and I think I have a strong ability to recognize people and things... But you, I can't see through it, you hide too many secrets at a young age, so I don't like dealing with you... But Shuang'er has a deep love for you, and I don't want her to be obsessed with it like this, so I give you five years ago, five years later, I need an answer!"
Guan Weishan's words were very strong, but Lan Jiu did not have the slightest dissatisfaction. In the final analysis, after all, people are also their own life-saving benefactors, and they act like this just to protect their daughter from being hurt in the slightest, if it weren't for the orchestra pair, I'm afraid that Lan Jiu wouldn't even have the qualifications to see him.
However, this five-year covenant is destined to be impossible for Lan Jiu to complete.
If five years later, if he didn't destroy the demon clan, it would definitely be impossible to come back and get married. And if the human race really wiped out the demon race, how could he continue to live alone in this world? Since that massacre, Lan Jiu has been suffering more and more day by day, and what supports him is only faith, and there is only one belief in the destruction of the demon race.
"Senior, I heard Sister Shuangshuang say that you offended a demon clan monarch in order to save me before, I don't know how it is now? Also, will this cause you unnecessary trouble?" Lan Jiu seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked, which can be regarded as a way to change the topic.
Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, Guan Weishan didn't bother anymore.
His eyes fell on Lan Jiu, and he laughed in a low voice, "Hehe, you have to worry about these things... The demon king, I'm afraid that there are no bones left at this time. As for the trouble, hehe, seriously, the demon clan will not offend me because of a newly appointed king, and what I did was extremely hidden, there is not the slightest trace of it, and they will naturally not act without evidence... You can rest assured that you can recuperate!"
Guan Weishan retreated, but the orchestral duo rushed in as soon as possible. Seeing Lan Jiu lying safe and sound between the beds, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "White-haired little brother, what did my father tell you?"
"Senior, he wants me to marry you!" Lan Jiu said thoughtfully.
"Ahh How could my father be like this?"
A little excited, Guan Weishan was a little incoherent. At that time, Lan Jiu suddenly covered his mouth and chuckled, and said teasingly, "Haha, just kidding, Sister Shuangshuang even believes this? We have been sisters and brothers for so long, wouldn't it be very strange if we really gave a wedding ceremony? The seniors just asked me the origin of this piece of jade!"
"Ahh
However, at this moment, Lan Jiu is no longer the fledgling boy he was at the beginning, but he clearly captured the trace of helplessness and loss that flashed in the orchestra's eyes. Lan Jiu's heart also swelled with a sense of helplessness. As the saying goes, I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me, and I always hurt the girl's heart unconsciously.
"Sister Shuangshuang, I may have to leave for a while, to be honest, if you meet someone you like again, remember to take good hold of it!" Lan Jiu's eyes showed a little unbearable and sad, and he said in a low voice.
"Ah, where are you leaving, where are you going, when are you leaving, how long is it going, aren't you ready to come back?" the orchestral duo directly ignored the latter sentence and asked anxiously.
Lan Jiu's gaze slowly became deeper, and he said in a low voice, "I promised our family's ancestor that I would rush back to the Magic Academy to participate in the qualifying competition in the near future, and I plan to leave tomorrow to return... Either stay in the Magic Association in the future, or follow the team of the Imperial Capital, in short, this Forest of Divine Punishment, I'm afraid it won't come often!"
"Is that so?" Orchestral Pair's eyes flashed with reluctance, and he asked in a distracted manner, "Then can you take me with you?"
Before Lan Jiu refused, the girl who had always been domineering and leaky said distractedly, "I'm so stupid... would ask such a stupid question, the Academy of Magic and the Magicians Association, how can I just enter if I say it... It's just, will you miss me? Will you always remember me in the future?"
Lan Jiu nodded lightly, he was not a grass or tree, how could he be so ruthless?
How the orchestral duo treats him, this is what everyone sees, the killing of the past few months, this sister who is a few years older than him, can be regarded as the only oasis in his heart. But creation makes people, and the suffering carried by that gray hair is destined to make him unable to care about anyone in his life.
The quiet atmosphere, the embarrassing scene, the orchestral duo got into Lan Jiu's arms, and the two didn't say a word more, quietly enjoying the last comfort.
The next day, the sun was just right, and the breeze was slightly cool.
Lan Jiu traveled lightly, the white clothes were better than the snow, and the white hair was even more dazzling in the sun.
Standing on the edge of the seven-colored sunshine, Guan Weishan whispered, "At a young age, he was already a genius boy in the Wizards Association, but I was a little bit of you before... However, no matter what you can achieve in the future, it is only a five-year covenant between us, and I hope you don't forget it!"
Lan Jiu nodded slightly and said yes respectfully. But the orchestral pair couldn't hold back any longer, and regardless of everyone's strange eyes, they hugged Lan Jiu's arms.
"Uh..." After a moment of stunnedness, Lan Jiu patted the orchestral shuang's shoulder with some embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Sister Shuangshuang, there are so many people watching here... I'm afraid it's not good for you to be like this!"
"I don't care, I don't care! I don't care what others think!" Orchestral Shuang's cheeks naturally slipped two strings of tears, and he said with some sadness, "You must take good care of yourself on the day you leave, we will always meet again... I don't care what kind of Blue Nine heir you are or a student of the Academy of Magic, I only know that you are my white-haired little brother, and I don't want you to be hurt in the slightest!"
"Well, okay, I will definitely take your place and take good care of myself!" Lan Jiu chuckled and nodded, then swiped his fingers to wipe the tears from the corners of the orchestra's eyes, and laughed, "Sister Shuangshuang, don't cry, otherwise others will laugh at you for becoming a little flower cat!"
It's just an orchestral pair, but he doesn't pay any attention to other people's eyes, and hides in Lan Jiu's arms and cries.
Lan Jiu looked at everyone quietly and arched his hand, "Lan Mou left today, or thank you for coming out to see each other... The rivers and lakes are long, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and I hope we will meet again!"
"Take care of everything, have a smooth journey!" everyone also returned the salute one after another, and finally came to the moment of separation.
The corners of Lan Jiu's mouth lifted slightly, his feet were wrong, and the cyan wind element was running. His body gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, and the looming back concealed countless and unexplained loneliness and loneliness, which was a road that belonged to him, a road destined to be lonely.
Because the strong are destined to have a lonely heart.
