"Bang ——!"

Gorgeous and moving fireworks exploded in the dark night sky, sprinkling light and rain all over the sky!

Xichen Qinglan quietly leaned on the carved jade railing, raised her head slightly, and stared at the colorful fireworks that exploded one after another in the night sky with beautiful eyes, silent.

Such a mature beauty with a slender figure, beautiful appearance, and inadvertently exuding a faint mysterious temperament naturally attracted the attention of many eyes present, and more than one man who thought he was excellent tried to come over to talk, but she ignored him!

From the angle she was in, she could clearly see the scene in the hall downstairs, Qin Qiyuan was chatting happily with Her Majesty the Empress, with a kind and easy-going smile on his face, and there were many members of the Supreme Ruling Council next to him.

Such a grand banquet is rare in recent years, and only the head of a superpower such as the Qingqiu Empire is worthy of such a high-level grand reception by the top level of the empire.

The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit!

Such a thought suddenly appeared in the heart of the goddess of war. Immediately, she smiled self-deprecatingly again, when did she actually care about this?

From the beginning when the Great Sage led her into the door, her life seemed to be nothing but cultivation and fighting; In addition to fighting, it is cultivation! As for the conflicts of interest in the world, what does it have to do with you?

For many years, I have been accustomed to this kind of life, alone, even the students are too lazy to accept it, and I live freely and easily. It was only after seeing the child that his life changed.

Although the child's qualifications are so good that even she is a little jealous, it seems that it is not only because of this that she can break the routine for many years. The Zhou family's schemes, the marshal's layout, and the subtle changes in her own mood prompted her to really make this decision.

He was taken home by Zhou Meng's girl today, I don't know how Lu Dao is now, speaking of which, those children of wealthy families are just people who put interests first, and no matter how good they are to him, it's just because he has use value! How could he be like himself, so dedicated to cultivating and maintaining him?

"Lan Ya......" she suddenly turned her head and called softly.

"What does Your Highness command?" Lan Ya's slender figure appeared from the corner of the stairs and hurried towards her.

"You go and call Mo Fanli, bring some guards, and go to the Zhou family's mansion to bring Xiao Junling back," she said lightly,

"The core disciple of the Silent Star Temple is spending the night outside without permission, what are you talking about?"

Lan Ya was a little surprised, but she still nodded and said, "Okay, let's go right away!" ”

After she left, Xichen Qinglan looked at the time, the banquet was over in less than an hour, and when she went back, she would be able to see him! Putting him alone in a place like the Zhou family, I don't feel at ease!

……

"Let's check your gear again!"

In the basement, a hoarse, muffled voice rang out in the pale light. Dozens of masked gray-clothed people around them agreed in unison and began to get busy. The movements are crisp, neat, and don't seem muddy at all.

After a minute, the inspection is complete. The voice said with satisfaction, "Very good, since everyone is already in the state, let's start acting!" ”

"The banquet will end at 0:10, when all the defenses inside and outside the venue will start to adjust, which is the best time for us to launch! Although no matter whether the action succeeds or fails, our brothers and sisters present will have a dead end, but for the sake of the people behind us, we are not afraid of such sacrifices! ”

"Yes, all for our people!" All the subordinates echoed in unison.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a pale face like paper, his eyes were shining with a strange red light, and his figure was hidden under the thick black robe, he coughed lightly, and two tube-like objects about the thickness of his thumb and about a foot long appeared in front of everyone.

"Although the venue was heavily defended, and ordinary weapons and equipment could not be brought in at all, we were not without means to deal with it......

He raised the tube to his lips and aimed the other end against the wall, blowing violently.

A jet-black thorn several centimeters long flew out silently and nailed deep into the wall!

"This is the latest successful research of our founder, the tip of the thorn has a special energy ablation magnetic field, which can easily break through all the energy light armor defenses known to the Huaxia Empire, they would never have imagined that we would use this seemingly primitive weapon!"

……

The Zhou family's mansion.

After the banquet ended, Xiao Junling left the hall with the support of Zhou Meng and walked towards the residence in the back garden.

"I knew that Lu Dao's drinking stamina was so great, I wouldn't drink so much!" He grabbed the girl's waist and sighed:

"I don't know if I can't get up tomorrow, and the teacher will take me to the Temple of the Silent Star for a test!"

Zhou Meng pursed her lips and smiled: "You are doing it yourself!" This kind of old wine storage has extraordinary stamina, you...... It is estimated that it is possible to sleep until tomorrow! ”

Xiao Junling was startled, suddenly let go of her and stood up straight, and said nervously: "How can that happen?" Teachers are going to be angry! I...... No, I'll have to go back right now......"

As he spoke, he stumbled and almost fell on the head.

"Oops—be careful!" Zhou Meng hurriedly hugged him and said angrily:

"Is your brain really a little unconscious? What's there to be nervous about? Wait for Sister Hui to get you a decanting soup! Also, this will be your home from now on, where are you going to go back? ”

"......" Xiao Junling still wanted to say something, but her mind became more and more confused, and in the end, she was almost carried into a delicate small building.

"Miss, let's do it!" Several maids greeted him and saluted.

"Well, be careful!" She handed Xiao Junling into their hands and commanded, "Let's bathe him and change his clothes first!" Then ......"

"And then?" A maid asked.

Zhou Meng hesitated for a moment and said, "First place him on the 'Yunshang Residence'!" Call two clever girls to wait at any time, don't make a mistake! Do you understand? ”

The maid's eyes widened in surprise, but she didn't say anything after all, and went off to work with her promise.

Zhou Meng, who was idle, thought about it and decided to go back to his room to change his clothes first, and then go to see him.

However, when she walked into the door of the boudoir, she found that An Xuanyi had been waiting here for a long time.

"Mom!" Surprised, she asked, "Why did you come here all of a sudden?" ”

"I'll come to see you......" An Xuanyi got up and closed the door, then held her daughter's shoulder and looked at it carefully, before asking:

"What do you think of Xiao Junling's kid?"

Zhou Meng's face turned red, and she said with a smile: "Mom...... This...... Why do you ask this...... People, people......"

An Xuanyi smiled and shook her head: "You kid, what else are you embarrassed to say to your mother?" Isn't it normal to like what you like, and what you don't like is not what you like? ”

Zhou Meng buried Zhenshou in her mother's arms a little shyly, and said coquettishly: "You know everything, what do you want your daughter to say, anyway...... That's it! ”

An Xuanyi breathed a sigh of relief and laughed in a low voice: "Since this is the case, Mom has nothing to worry about!" Well! Take it......"

She took out a small cyan jade bottle from her bosom and handed it to her.

In an instant, Zhou Meng's pretty face was so red that it seemed to be dripping water, and she said with shame: "Mom! It's not so urgent, is it? He's only fourteen! Family...... People are not ready in their hearts, so how can they ...... Just ......"

"That's what your grandfather meant!" An Xuanyi smiled bitterly,

"Mom also knows that it is not appropriate for Lu Dao to do this, but there is no way, now there are so many pairs of eyes staring at him outside, if he doesn't settle this matter quickly, maybe there will be many dreams at night, and no one knows what will happen!"

"But...... But ......" Zhou Mengzhen lowered her head, twisted the corners of her skirt with her jade hands, and said hesitantly:

"You have also seen today's events, he has already agreed, as long as the news is announced to the public, it will be a foregone conclusion, and it should not be ......"

"Actually, he's not in a hurry now, if we do this, maybe it will be self-defeating!"

An Xuanyi said: "That's what I said, but if it is not determined for a day, things will be variable!" You also know that he likes more than you, and it is inevitable that he will attract the attention of more and better girls with his achievements in the future! ”

"Although you are in good condition, can you ensure that the child's mind is always on you? If you don't take advantage of the favorable opportunity to catch him, he will really be snatched away by others in the future, who are you looking for to cry? ”

"......" Zhou Meng turned around and walked to the classical standing dressing mirror against the wall, staring at himself quietly in the mirror, silent.

She knew that her mother was right, and this approach was indeed the most suitable choice! Since he likes himself and can accept him in his heart, sooner or later, it doesn't seem to matter so much!

For wealthy women like them, marriage events are basically based on the interests of the family, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to choose independently, so it is basically impossible to find a partner who completely matches your heart! This is the price of being in a wealthy family, and when enjoying a luxurious life that ordinary people can't reach, you must also take on the corresponding family responsibilities!

Therefore, there is a chance to find such a man who meets his heart, and the family fully supports it. Such a situation can be said to be a very ideal result, what are you hesitating about?

An Xuanyi looked at her daughter's beautiful back, and sighed in her heart, among the wealthy families, everything is based on interests, although the child has only been in the Imperial Legion for less than half a year, but the excellent qualifications he has shown are enough to make it difficult for all the wealthy families in the imperial capital to ignore!

A genius who will inevitably advance to the Silent Star God of War, and who is also the pinnacle powerhouse of the Spiritual Ability Department, is definitely worthy of any power to win over at any cost! What's more, according to the analysis results of the wise men in the clan, his potential even stops there, and it is entirely possible to reach a higher realm!

At that time, with such a super strong person in the family, all kinds of amazing benefits could be obtained, which made people feel crazy when they thought about it!

Therefore, the family decision-making level will have such a plan, although this will make the daughter a little difficult to accept, but this is beneficial to the family and the daughter herself! So some of the details are no longer so important!

"Kid, in fact, things are not so urgent!" An Xuanyi pondered for a while, and finally said:

"What I just told you is your grandfather's idea, but it's not an official decision yet! So if you really can't accept it, Mom can go around for you and designate a suitable woman to marry him! With your father's status in the clan, this privilege can still be earned. ”

Zhou Meng's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Mom, I don't mean not to agree, it's just ...... Can you wait any longer? Now it's going to be like this, I'm afraid he'll be upset! ”

"Alright then!" An Xuanyi nodded and said,

"In a word, there are so many eyes on the men staring at you now! You have to think about keeping an eye on him, and if you really let him be snatched away by someone else, the consequences will ...... You don't need Mom to remind you! ”

"......" Zhou Meng gritted his teeth, turned around and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then ......"

At this moment, a hurried knock sounded outside, and the voice of a maid came:

"Eldest Miss, His Royal Highness Xichen Qinglan's housekeeper came to visit, saying that he was here to pick up Young Master Xiao Junling back, what do you think about it?"

"......" The expression on Zhou Meng's face froze.

An Xuanyi glanced at her daughter deeply, shook her head, opened the door and walked out.
