Chapter 114: The First Time I Saw That Man When I Was Young
Two days passed, and Shangguan Qing was dressed up as a beautiful young man in white by Qingxue in front of a two-meter-high mirror, and half-pushed to Chuzhuang.
Chuzhuang stands on an island in the center of Wenhu Lake, the sun is sparkling downward, and the wind is slanting to moisten the skin. There are beasts of the town clan guarding the family fortune under the lake, and there is a forbidden rune formation above the lake, if you want to enter Chuzhuang, you can only walk through this five-hundred-meter corridor carved of white stone to the center of the lake.
Behind the promenade, there is a slightly wet grassland where rare growth and animal paws trample on, and looking out, the retro-looking Chuzhuang is being surrounded in this emerald world full of spiritual plants and flowers.
When Qingxue took Shangguan Qing's hand and entered the gate of Chuzhuang, other peers who were also attending the banquet also happened to appear in front of them a little earlier than them.
Shangguan Qing glanced over, and it was three teenagers with very different styles. There were also elders next to them, and Qingxue and those elders greeted each other, even if they exchanged pleasantries. Shangguan Qing didn't particularly care about these peers who seemed to be full of confidence, because they didn't look at themselves too much.
The door was wide open, and the housekeeper of the manor of the host Chu clan came out to welcome the guests and led everyone into the living room. The building is rustic on the outside and gorgeous on the inside. The crystal bottle carved with precious stones, the glass jar that reflects ten colors, the refreshing agarwood, the cool green jade plate, and all the pieces are valuable ornaments.
Standing in front of the throne was naturally a Chu family elder who presided over the meeting of the younger generation of the five major forces of the Demon Alliance, but Shangguan Qing didn't remember his name, only knew that he was also perfectly integrated into the team of elders greetings, as if everyone had an old friendship that had gone through the years.
However, a small immature figure beside the man was reflected in the center of Shangguan Qing's pupils through a short but distant distance.
She had slightly baby-fat cheeks, immature but lovely features, long hair that hung down to her waist, she wore a very small-looking yellow robe, her immature ten fingers just showed the sleeves, and she wore beautiful and charming ornaments on her forehead and ears, and at first glance she looked like a delicate and lovely witch.
The daughter of the Chu family, Chu Huan, who is only five years old. Her immature but stunning appearance shocked Shangguan Qing, who was only eight years old at the time.
Step by step, Shangguan Qing's ears somehow blocked all kinds of noises between adults, and his eyes were aimed straight ahead—another young man in light blue clothes sitting opposite him, but his mind was focused on the golden and jade-colored figure that suddenly penetrated into his heart and made him linger.
"Let me introduce, this is the representative of the younger generation launched by our Chu family, the young patriarch Chu Huan, who is talented and virtuous. The elders of the Chu family said.
"My name is Chu Huan, and I am honored to meet you all today. The beautiful girl stood up neatly and bowed to the teenagers and elders present.
The light outside the door shone on her face, her slender black eyelashes trembled, her cinnabar-like lips and long black waterfall hair reflected the shiny reflection of her gorgeous jewelry, dazzlingly suffocating.
She introduced herself briefly, and soon sat back in her seat with full etiquette. Qingxue patted Shangguan Qing's shoulder, and Shangguan Qing also stood up immediately, and said without any extra words:
"I'm Shangguan Qing, please take care of me in the future. ”
The order went down, and the next one was Ming Jing, the young sect master of the Shanghe Sect with long hair and fluttering white clothes and brown sleeves. Shangguan Qing later learned from the conversation of the elders that this thirteen-year-old cultivator is the most profound orthodox Dao method in the secret tradition of the Shanghe Sect, and he has already broken through the innate shackles, and his divine consciousness and Dao method are perfect in all three aspects, and he can no longer use his ability to describe his ability in terms of knowledge. Shangguan Qing could tell from his smart eyes that this person was extremely intelligent.
Then there was the blue-shirted young man sitting across from him, he was twelve years old, his name was Liyuan, and he was a rising star of the Tianshan faction's generation standing at the top. Although the cultivation has not passed the Ming Jing, it is also very remarkable. Between his eyebrows, there is always a cloud of snow peaks beyond the red dust, his complexion is white, his pupils are pure black, and his speech and demeanor are very low, if he is not a natural iceberg, he is not a real human being. His elders didn't explicitly state his background, but his backers were definitely no weaker than any of his peers here.
Finally, there is the pure red boy in the military uniform of the young man, he has handsome facial features and is like a fire dragon. His name is Li Yanxiong, his parents are two of the eight generals of the Red City, and he has an atavistic fire attribute dragon spirit root. At the age of ten, he had access to a hundred military books, and many old-timers who had been in the Tao for thirty or forty years were broken in the simulated array, and they all won with strength, and no one was convinced.
The five here, including Shangguan Qing, are all the best of the best in the younger generation, with strong backgrounds, talents, wisdom and bravery, and extraordinary talents, and they are the most perfect teenagers and girls in the young generation. And everyone knows that the teenagers and girls of this generation are stuck on the threshold of Rahu's birth, so each of them is likely to become the new heads of the five major forces of the Demon Alliance, and they will definitely be the trump card of the Rahu War in the future.
This meeting is not an exaggeration to say that it is a meeting of Miss Childe who is full of power and human touch. However, Shangguan Qing was not disgusted by this, nor did he feel that it was an opportunity.
Well, although I never expected it, how can this be considered relaxation, it is completely a job. Shangguan Qing thought silently in his heart.
After the most formal procedures were completed, the elders began to talk about themselves, and the teenagers and girls could theoretically talk freely, and Li Yanxiong from the Red City next to him had already shook hands with Mingjing of the Shanghe Sect and started talking. The iceberg-like departure from the original is as unearthly as it was at the beginning, as if everything that changes around him will not affect his expression, and the strange thing is that the elders who lead him never talk about him, and they are enthusiastic about talking.
Shangguan Qing sat on the chair and just looked directly at the iceberg boy in front of him. Only this teenager who will never take care of him can make others feel less embarrassed to look at him as a ceiling.
Suddenly, a familiar touch came from his shoulder, and it was his mother who patted him. Shangguan Qing turned his head and saw his mother's smiling eyes and her fingers pointing in a certain direction.
There, yes......
Shangguan Qing followed his mother's fingers and looked over, but he didn't expect to meet another pair of bright eyes. Five-year-old Chu Huan stared at him intently, and when she saw that he also saw that there was no superfluous movement, she still didn't relax her gaze.
Why are you staring at me? Shangguan Qing scanned his body with his divine sense, and found nothing abnormal, but the other party still kept looking at him, making him quite concerned.
After the meeting, the young men and their elders who exuded the atmosphere of kings left one by one, and Shangguan Qing stayed with his mother until the end, because his mother chatted with the uncle of the Chu family very speculatively. Not only is the Shangguan family and the Chu family the twin kings of the Demon Alliance, but also listening to their attitude, this uncle of the Chu family seems to be kind to his father Shangguan Ding, and to both their husband and wife.
But let him be, Shangguan Qing doesn't care about this. After a long time, he cast his gaze at Chu Huan again, and this time she was not looking at him, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
However, in the next second, Chu Huan suddenly moved down from the chair - her feet were still out of reach, and she walked in front of Shangguan Qing under the gaze of the triple gaze.
"Shangguan Qing, let's talk in a different place. She said.
At this time, the girl's face was the closest to Shangguan Qing so far, and Shangguan Qing didn't understand why, and his mouth was uncontrollable and let out an "oh".
By the time his reason re-ascended to the spiritual platform, he and Chu Huan were already standing in the green bamboo forest as a "lonely man and widow".
The wind blows the bamboos, and the green leaves shake. In the emerald beauty, Shangguan Qing looked at Chu Huan again in the breeze.
This time, Guan Qing took the initiative to speak: "Why did you take the initiative to talk to me." ”
Could it be that he likes it, no, this is impossible, although he is only eight years old, he still knows that in their circle at this level, because of how difficult it is to fall in love at first sight on the outside, even if they are underage, they have already understood the shadow behind them before seeing each other.
"Because you're eight years old and I'm five, you're the closest person to me. Chu Huan said in a lovely voice, and the words were unexpectedly clear.
"So that's ......" Shangguan Liquidation breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second he was instantly choked by the air and coughed.
"I'm sorry, but I pulled you out for an assist. "Chu Huan is young, and suddenly she is a non-shocking speech.
Shangguan Qing's cranial nerves exploded in an instant, as if the circuit was chaotic. There were four people in total, a lonely couple and a widow, and the other ......
Damn! What the hell is this! Hey, hey, wait, wait, wait, what the hell am I thinking! Shangguan Qingxin's voice suddenly turned into a lion and galloped wildly on the Hulunbuir grassland!
"I'll ......" his mouth was broken by a blow, and he turned around and was about to run back.
Chu Huan suddenly smiled, stretched out her little hand and quickly pinched Shangguan Qing's sleeve: "I'm kidding, didn't Auntie tell you? That uncle is actually her adoptive father." We're here, and they're not good at catching up. ”
Shangguan Qing listened to the footsteps for a moment, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and forced himself to calm down: "It's good to be an adoptive father, it's good to be an adoptive father." "He thinks he's got a damn brain circuit that's been split before.
"But you did it on purpose, anyone will misunderstand this kind of thing!" Shangguan Qing said again.
Chu Huan replied with a smile behind her back: "That's what I did on purpose, I just want to see your reaction." I just want to know if the person I want to assist in the future is a guy who can only cultivate since he was a child, after all, I did a survey, and ninety percent of the old old-fashioned ones have begun to emerge since childhood. ”
"Is it deliberate?" is really worthy of the Chu family, who is good at scheming, such a big little girl has begun to count her peers, Shangguan Qingxin said.
"Deliberately or otherwise, since you have revealed your true colors that you have never shown at the meeting, I don't need to do those boring and superfluous etiquette. Shangguan Qing took a few steps back and sat down on a square stone.
"At this time, it is really rude to use 'true face' to describe a five-year-old girl, Brother Shangguan. Chu Huan said in an old-fashioned manner, and with her figure and face, it was extremely funny to see her Ali.
"Come on, Brother Shangguan, you little filthy girl. Shangguan Qing said angrily. This "dirty" is not the other "witch", and the image of the goddess just now has disappeared in his young heart.
"You ......" Chu Huan seemed to understand the synonyms in Shangguan Qing's mouth, and her tone was a little aggrieved for a while, "I don't allow you to talk to me in this tone again." ”
Shangguan Qing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pushed his hand: "Don't don't, don't cry, it's all my brother's fault, little sister Chu Huan, you can beat me casually to get angry, it's all right." ”
Seeing Shangguan Qing like this, Chu Huan suddenly turned from crying to laughter, as fast as acting. However, when she turned her face, her expression changed into another expression that Shangguan Qing had never seen before, and two faint red glows slowly floated on her lovely face, and her pink lips opened slightly, hesitating.
"I ...... The reason why I am angry is justified, you don't misunderstand me because of the words of the moment, and I haven't told you the truth yet, in fact, I have a deliberate reason....... The reason is not that. ”
At this time, Shangguan Qing had not yet realized the seriousness of the development of the situation, and he was not interested in Chu Huan's strangeness - he didn't want to be counted or acted by girls younger than him anymore.
"Then you say, I'll listen. He said.
"Do you really want to listen?"
"Tsk, nonsense. Shangguan Qing smashed his mouth, always feeling that this little girl couldn't say anything good.
"Then I said it...... Chu Huan said with a twist, "Our respective grandfather's lifelong rivals and best friends, I heard from my uncle that before they set out for the last battle against the Heavenly Demon Rahu five hundred years ago, they made a promise together in the ancestral hall of the Demon Alliance——"
"Grandson, if they are both men, they will become brothers, and the Chu family will assist the Shangguan family, and they will make enemies against foreign enemies and raise our prestige...... If there is a man and a woman, then ...... Married as husband and wife, the patriarch married, and they were well together for a thousand years. ”
Boom! It was obviously a clear sky, but a shocking thunderbolt sounded in Shangguan Qing's head.
This routine, I ******!
"So you understand, although I'm only five years old, I'm also a young patriarch, how could I test someone to assist...... And what about saying that kind of thing......" After speaking, Chu Huan's face was so red that she couldn't lift it.
As for Shangguan Qing, his eyeballs hadn't moved since just now, and his chin couldn't be closed.
"So, for the fastest test...... The future husband ......" "Shangguan Qing shut up!"
