Chapter 34: Expectation
The Igarashi family, an interior.
"Master. Mariko Igarashi came in with the tea, and respectfully put the tea on the small table in front of Lin Xiao, with an extremely respectful posture, as if she was afraid that Lin Xiao would have a bad opinion of herself.
"Miss Mariko doesn't have to call me a master, you and Jinglu are not married. Lin Xiao replied unhurriedly.
Mariko Igarashi didn't make a sound, she just lowered her eyebrows and retreated, but Lin Xiao saw a touch of persistence and stubbornness on her face.
In all fairness, this girl's eyebrows are clear and gentle, and her impression of meeting for the first time is quite good, but as for her temperament, it is not clear, although Lin Xiao's eyesight is extraordinary, she can't accurately judge the true temperament of others just by meeting for the first time, which often requires a few more contacts to know.
"Your Excellency Lin Wuming, I didn't expect Yu Jinglue's master to be you. Igarashi Motoyang sighed with emotion.
No. 1 on the world's holy list.
Although it has disappeared for three years, the first position has not been shaken, even if many people have questioned it because of this, and issued challenges, etc., they have not received the slightest response, and Tianxialou has not given any explanation.
Interpretation?
What to explain?
What is there to explain, the world list is customized by the world, as long as it is within a reasonable range, then there is no need to give any explanation.
Of course, Tianxialou will definitely not do that kind of deceptive thing, such as ranking a martial saint with poor strength in the first place on the world's holy list, which is purely a slap in the face, a crazy fan, and the kind that makes both sides swollen.
Some accidents are inevitable, for example, some people are obviously very strong but hide their strength, so that people downstairs in the world can't grasp their true strength.
Igarashi Yuanyang's ranking on the World Saint List is not high, and he is not included in the top ten, but it is not low either, ranking thirty-seventh, but Lin Xiao can feel that the other party's seemingly old body seems to contain a very strong force, beyond the ordinary extreme martial saint.
The upper limit of the level of the Martial Dao Saint, the theory is unlimited, for example, Lin Xiao himself, although his cultivation is still a high-ranking Martial Saint, he doesn't know how much he surpasses other Extreme Martial Saints, and that strength is more like an infinite elevation, which is really enough to make many people feel desperate when compared.
It is easy to kill an ordinary extreme martial saint with a single sword, is it strong?
However, there are also some extreme martial saints who cannot be promoted to such a level, so the upper limit of the martial arts saint is theoretically unlimited, but in practice it depends on the individual, and the individual's talent, heritage, cultivation and other aspects are related to their own upper limit.
The higher the upper limit, the stronger the strength will naturally be mastered, and the lower the upper limit, the lower the strength, and there is no possibility of breaking through the Yuan Shen Realm.
"Your Excellency Lin Wuming, I hope you can agree to the marriage between my granddaughter Mariko and your noble disciple Yu Jinglue. Igarashi Motoyang said in a deep voice.
"As a master, I don't have the right to decide directly on the marriage of my disciple. Lin Xiao responded with a slight smile: "If Jinglu agrees, I won't object, but if Jingluo doesn't agree, as a master, I also support him, and I only hope that the Igarashi family won't do foolish things." ”
Saying lightly, Lin Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip, the entrance was slightly bitter, and then it was sweet and sweet
, there seems to be a refreshing feeling.
However, as soon as Lin Xiao's words came out, the atmosphere directly became cold, and the air in the room seemed to be frozen.
That's right, this is also what Lin Xiao meant, he won't make decisions for Yu Jingluo, and there is no need for that, whether he is willing to marry Mariko Igarashi is Yu Jingluo's own business, marriage is not a child's play, the parents' order matchmaker said, Yu Jingluo's parents died early, but he is a master, a master and a father, although Lin Xiao said that he does not have such a big child.
But in the final analysis, Yu Jingluo still needs to make up his own mind, and everyone else can only use it as a reference.
As a young man with sufficient cognition, he is still a martial arts powerhouse at the level of a martial arts saint, so he can naturally decide his own affairs.
If Yu Jingliu is willing to marry Mariko Igarashi, Lin Xiao, as a master, will give blessings, but if Yu Jinglu himself is unwilling but forced, then Lin Xiao, as a master, will certainly not sit idly by.
"Your Excellency Lin Wuming, let's not talk about marriage for the time being, old man, I think I have some strength, and I want to ask you for advice. Igarashi Motoyang suddenly changed the topic and said in a deep voice.
Lin Xiao smiled dumbly.
Is this intended to show your muscles first, and then convince them with your strength?
Don't you think that you have disappeared for three years, and you feel that your strength has not improved.
Of course, the title of the number one in the world's holy list is actually not so easy to use sometimes, there are always some people who hide their strength, and they don't care so much about the ranking, because the ranking will not bring them any substantial benefits.
Dumbfounded, Lin Xiao didn't have the rest of the action, just simply released the Shenxiao Sword Domain.
The release of the sixth-order Shenxiao Sword Domain immediately fell on Igarashi Yuanyang, like an invisible sword mountain falling from the sky, suppressing the earth, Igarashi Yuanyang suddenly suffered the oppression of the Shenxiao Sword Domain, and immediately reacted, a strong force erupted, soaring into the sky, wanting to break through the suppression of the Shenxiao Sword Domain, but found that it could not be shaken in the slightest.
The invisible suppressive force was like the collapse of the heavenly dome and suppressed down, unable to move at all, and in front of him, he was proud of his strong power, fragile, like an egg touching a stone, completely incomparable.
Horror!
Shock!
This is the strength of the number one in the world's holy list?
Just releasing momentum to suppress himself, unable to resist a single bit, if you really want to do it, wouldn't it be a one-hit kill?
However, in just three breaths, Lin Xiao withdrew the Shenxiao Sword Domain, and Igarashi Yuanyang immediately felt a relief on his body, as if relieved, his back was soaked with sweat, as if his spirit and spirit had been drained, and he felt weak for no reason.
It's just a short time of three breaths, but it's like a fierce battle for three days and three nights, overdrawing itself.
Fright!
"Your Excellency Lin Wuming's strength ......" Igarashi Yuanyang's face was very complicated, originally he felt that his strength was also very strong, even if he was really not Lin Wuming's opponent, he should be able to fight, but he didn't expect the fact to be so unexpected, under the momentum of the other party, he didn't have the ability to resist at all.
If the other party wants to kill themselves, they probably only need a sword.
For a time, Igarashi Yuanyang had tempered his strength for decades
I had a deep doubt, and I felt that my penance over the years had been practiced on dogs.
"Igarashi family master, do you want to try again?" Lin Xiao asked kindly.
Sighing majestically, Igarashi Yuanyang knew that he was not Lin Xiao's opponent, and it was estimated that even if he used all the strength of the Igarashi family, he would not be his opponent, but would suffer heavy losses, in this case: "Truth, you go and invite Jingluojun." ”
"Yes. Mariko Igarashi lowered her head and whispered in response.
After a while, there was a rush of footsteps from outside.
"Master, master......" Yu Jingluo's voice quickly came in, and he immediately ran into the room, and when he saw Lin Xiao, his face was full of excitement, and he almost burst into tears: "Master, you are finally here." ”
"Sit. Lin Xiao glanced at Yu Jingluo, and immediately made a move, immediately breaking the seal on Yu Jingluo's body, and his cultivation was immediately restored, and the aura of arrogance was permeated.
Yu Jingluo couldn't help but want to laugh a lot, rejoicing in the recovery of his cultivation, but when he saw the master's calm eyes, his heart trembled for no reason, resisted the urge to laugh, and sat down obediently.
"Jinglu, are you willing to marry Miss Mariko Igarashi?" Lin Xiao asked very directly.
Mariko Igarashi immediately raised her head, her eyes trembling lightly, and she looked at Yu Jingluo with a look of hope.
"I'm ......" Yu Jingluo couldn't help but pause when he saw Mariko Igarashi's eyes, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Say no?
I was really reluctant before, after all, there were some forced elements involved, but now I have a feeling that I can't speak.
There seems to be a little bit of reluctance in my heart......
Ha, I actually feel reluctant.
"My generation of sword cultivation follows our heart. Lin Xiao said without hesitation.
"Master, then I'll think about it......" Yu Jing slightly avoided Mariko Igarashi's hopeful eyes, and said after hesitating, Mariko Igarashi had a light in her eyes.
Lin Xiao can see that this girl is afraid that she has a deep love for herself, a big disciple, and as for Yu Jingluo, this Hanhan is estimated to have a good impression of this girl, but she is still unclear, so she hesitates.
"Your Excellency Lin Wuming, leave the affairs of the young people to the young people themselves. Igarashi Yuanyang also saw something, so he smiled heartily: "I have a few jars of good wine that have been treasured for a hundred years, which my grandfather brought back when he traveled to the dynasty, please taste it." ”
"It's my pleasure. Lin Xiao also smiled, glanced at the Han Han apprentice, and then got up with Igarashi Yuanyang and left the house, leaving only Igarashi Mariko and Yu Jingluo, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Yu Jingluo looked around a little restlessly, especially the eyes of Mariko Igarashi kept staring at him, as if they were glued to his body, which made him want to run away, but there was an indescribable little joy in his heart, which was really a very strange and complicated feeling.
"Jing Liujun, please drink tea. Mariko Igarashi held the hot tea and handed it to Yu Jingluo.
Yu Jingluo hurriedly took a sip and drank it all, looking a little stupid, but he didn't dare to look at Mariko Igarashi, as if it was a flood beast, which made him feel restless, but he had a little expectation in his heart, but he didn't know what to expect.
