Chapter 19: Promise
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Long Ling got up very early, although he was not from the Liu family, he also understood what day it was. Today is the day Liu Chen'er gets married.
As soon as he went out, Long Ling found that the descendants of the Liu family were already busy, hanging lanterns and pasting wedding papers, and the Liu family was very happy.
Although the Liu family is very reluctant to this marriage, the surface work still has to be done. After all, the Liu family is still a little famous in this area.
As soon as Long Ling went out, he saw a young man standing at his door, this young man's appearance was somewhat similar to Liu Shuzhuang, but his age was obviously a few years older than Liu Shuzhuang, and he looked like he was twenty-four or five, probably the eldest brother Liu Shuzhuang said.
"Under Liu Shengshuai, Liu Shuzhuang's eldest brother, Young Master Long Ling, today is the big day in the mansion, and I invite you to go to the hall to have a glass of happy wine. Then he made a gesture of invitation to Long Ling.
Long Ling didn't pretentiously either, and walked towards the hall.
At this time, the hall was not very lively, but there was a tense atmosphere, and if you looked closely, all the people in the hall were the high-level people of the Liu family. And this kind of atmosphere can't help but feel oppressive, and even have the urge to go outside to breathe. In this hall, no one spoke, and everyone's expression was almost the same, with a kind of stern, angry, and helpless emotion on their faces, and it was difficult for them to show all these emotions on one person's face.
Following the familiar road, Long Ling walked into the hall. As soon as Long Ling walked into the hall, all eyes suddenly looked at him in unison.
Being stared at by so many people, Long Ling felt very unnatural, he faintly felt that letting him come to this hall today was not as simple as Liu Shengshuai said to invite him to have a glass of wine, Long Ling looked back at Liu Shengshuai, but at this time, he found that Liu Shengshuai was just looking at him, so he hurriedly dodged it.
Seeing Liu Shengshuai's reaction like this, Long Ling was even more sure of his inference.
At this moment, Liu Zhong, who was in the center of the hall, spoke, "Brother Long Ling, please take a seat."
Following what Liu Zhong pointed out, Long Ling saw a seat and sat down.
"Uncle Liu invited me here, there must be something. As soon as he sat down on the chair, Long Ling said to Liu Zhong.
"Haha, Brother Long Ling is really smart, I really have something to do with you today. ”
"What's going on?"
"This ......, alas, since Brother Long Ling is so refreshing, then I'll say it. Presumably Brother Long Ling also knows that today is the day of the little girl Liu Chen'er's marriage, let me tell you the truth, in fact, the little girl disagrees with this marriage, not only she disagrees, but even our elders do not agree, but because of the strength of the Tian family, we have no way. ”
Long Ling still knew about what Liu Zhong said.
"Then how can I help?" Long Ling frowned slightly, although he knew these things, but he didn't know what it had to do with him?
"There is a custom in our town that if a family marries a wife, they must have several martial arts trials with their in-laws, and if the man can win, it means that he can protect the woman, then the marriage will continue to be held, otherwise, the marriage will be annulled. ”
Long Ling didn't expect that there were such strange rules in this town, he didn't know what kind of person would make these rules, and these things were not his responsibility, so he didn't need to worry about it.
"Are you asking me to conduct a martial arts test with the Tian family?"
"Yes, the martial arts test is a competition for the younger generation, we naturally can't interfere, as long as the Long Ling brothers agree to the martial arts test, then no matter what the result is, my Liu family will have a generous gift. ”
"If I win, will the Tian family give up?"
"Regarding this issue, Brother Long Ling don't worry, there will be people from other families present today, and the Tian family will not be cheeky to marry again, as for the future, we have also thought of countermeasures. ”
Now that the words have been spoken, Long Ling will be a little unreasonable if he doesn't agree, "Okay, I agree." ”
"Haha, Brother Long Ling is really refreshing, the object of your martial arts test is Tian Shun, the third young master of the Tian family, he is a recognized martial arts idiot in Qingxia Town, and he regards martial arts as his life, however, I will let Liu Shengshuai fight with him for the first time first, and Brother Long Ling can also be prepared. Liu Zhong instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Liu, do you know the strength of this Tian Shun now?"
"Although he is only twenty-two years old, he has the strength of a ninth-order qi person. When Liu Zhong said this, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
"Ninth Order Qi?" Long Ling repeated, it seems that this Tian Shun is still a genius, however, for Long Ling, this strength is still extremely reluctant, if there is a battle of life and death, Long Ling is sure that within the two moves, Tian Shun will be successfully killed, even if he has the "Flame Fist" that Long Ling is envious.
When Liu Zhong mentioned Tian Shun's strength just now, he deliberately strengthened the words "Ninth Order Qi Person", in order to see Long Ling's reflection, so as to infer his strength, he only let Long Ling and Tian Shun conduct a martial arts test, which was the confidence exuded by Long Ling, which made people have a kind of trust in him.
This feeling was uncertain, but it made him have confidence in Long Ling. But after all, this is just a feeling, no one has ever seen Long Ling's true strength, and the decision to let Long Ling and Tian Shun conduct a martial arts test was also agreed upon after a discussion at the top of the Liu family, and similarly, after seeing Long Ling, they also had the same feeling in their hearts as Liu Zhong, they didn't expect to have such a strange feeling for a teenager who had just met for a few days.
At this time, Liu Zhong's eyes were staring at Long Ling, hoping to see something from Long Ling's expression, but Long Ling did not do what he wanted, his immature face was calm and waveless, and he did not make any waves, and he couldn't tell whether his expression was happy or sad, as if he hadn't heard what he had just said, and this matter had nothing to do with him. After Liu Zhong saw this face without Sihao's expression, he secretly pondered, he wanted to know what Long Ling was thinking at this time, but he was not a worm in Long Ling's stomach, where did he know Long Ling's thoughts, if he knew what Long Ling was thinking at this time, I am afraid that he would be so frightened that he vomited blood.
"Brother Long Ling is sure?" Since he couldn't guess the other party's thoughts, he asked immediately.
Immediately, four words came out of Long Ling's mouth.
"Do your best".
The calm and waveless face still makes people feel like they are guessing.
In Long Ling's heart, although he had absolute confidence that he could defeat his opponent, he didn't say too much.
After another while, the Liu family became much more lively, and people from various local families also came to the scene, which made the Liu family lively for a while. And all the high-level people of the Liu family also went out to greet the guests, naturally no one came to greet Long Ling, but Liu Zhong still arranged two subordinates to serve him, for fear of neglecting him, but these two subordinates were taken away by Long Ling.
He had always been cold, and suddenly there were two people beside him who were serving tea and pouring water, and pinching his waist and beating his back, which made him very uncomfortable.
At this time, after Long Ling sent the two subordinates away, he returned to the room alone.
When he arrived in the room, Long Ling chose to close his eyes and recuperate, allowing himself to exert his peak strength as much as possible, although for Long Ling, it was only a battle that was not too fierce, but he had always been cautious, and he naturally did not dare to be careless about this battle, not to mention that he did not have much experience in fighting people.
I don't know how long it took, there was a knock on the door in Long Ling's room. With a "squeak", the door was opened, and Long Ling walked out of the room.
"Young Master Long Ling, the head of the family invites you to the training ground in the front yard. One of the people standing at the door said respectfully to Long Ling.
