Chapter 19: Twists and Turns

As Xia Fan said.

After he told Dong Cailing about Qiu Hao's coming to test him.

Dong Cailing didn't know what to say to Qiu Hao and the others, and after that, Qiu Hao and the others did stop.

As the day of the ceremony approaches.

There are more and more sects and cultivators in the Linwu Mountain Villa who have received invitations to come to watch the ceremony.

The last time there was such a grand occasion in Linwu Villa was back when Uncle Dong Cailing murdered his brother and ascended to the position of owner.

Maybe no one thought of it.

Dong Cailing's uncle was mysteriously assassinated without even sitting on the throne of the owner.

Immediately afterwards, Dong Cailing, who had been arrested by the villa, actually staged the drama of the return of the king.

Such a series of ups and downs of the series of changes can't help but make the sects and cultivators who are good friends with Linwu Mountain Villa have great curiosity and interest.

Especially Dong Cailing.

How could she regain the position of owner from the elders in the villa who held real power.

After all, the cultivation world relies on strength to speak.

Anyone who is familiar with Dong Cailing knows.

She wasn't even an innate great grandmaster.

Even if she wanted to regain the position of owner, she couldn't do anything.

Initially.

Many people think that Dong Cailing is the puppet owner supported by the elders in the village.

But there's nothing new under the sun.

As more and more news circulated in the villa.

Everyone gradually understood what was going on.

Dare to love Dong Cailing used herself as a bargaining chip to find a mysterious backer, and finally with the help of this backer, she forced the elders to recognize her as the owner.

Therefore, this time, various sects and practitioners came to observe the ceremony.

Largely I want to see it.

Who is Dong Cailing's mysterious backer?

More precisely.

Who is the mysterious husband married by Dong Cailing?

You know, there was no warning at all.

However, he was under the strict orders of Dong Cailing.

Even though the spectators who came to the villa knew that the other party's mysterious husband was in the inner courtyard of the back house, no one dared to sneak in to find out.

Anyway.

It's all Forest Misty Villa.

Prying into the privacy of the owner's home without permission is a big no-no.

Unless someone is willing to take the risk of offending Forest Misty Villa.

It turns out.

These cultivators are still quite rational.

Curiosity is curiosity.

But they don't pay a heavy price for their curiosity.

Let alone.

If they want to spy on each other.

Such a low-level risk-taking approach is not necessarily needed.

"Husband, the ceremony will be held in two days, do you have any plans to come forward then?"

Late at night.

After a busy day, Dong Cailing returned to the boudoir.

But after seeing Xia Fan casually flipping through a book in front of the table, she suddenly asked with a hesitant face.

"I don't really like this kind of lively occasion, and you are the protagonist of this ceremony, I don't want to steal your limelight. ”

Xia Fan put down the reading material in his hand, picked up the tea on the table, put it to his lips and took a sip.

"Who made the people outside curious about me now, everyone seems to want to know which guy deserves to marry me, a great beauty. ”

“...... The husband was laughing again. ”

Dong Cailing, who was gradually accustomed to Xia Fan's character, said helplessly.

"I'm really not joking this time, come and sit. ”

Xia Fan shook his head and beckoned to Dong Cailing.

Seeing this, Dong Cailing immediately sat beside him obediently, not at all as majestic as he faced everyone in the villa during the day.

"I have learned about your current situation from Ah Chao, although you have become the owner of the village, even if you have Ah Chao's assistance, but unfortunately your foundation is still too weak, most things can only rely on those three old guys, if you want to grasp the real power of the villa, and you don't want to destroy the stability of the villa, you can only slowly figure it out, but sooner or later, you will inevitably have conflicts and conflicts of interest with them......"

"As the saying goes, politics is an art of compromise, but you are still too tender in the face of those three old guys, although you have the strength to suppress them, but the chain reaction is what you don't want to see, after all, you are also a family, and no one wants to do things too desperately......"

"But don't forget, we are husband and wife, and I am your strongest backing, although I am lazy, and I don't like to meddle in things to cause unnecessary trouble for myself, the problem is that once you are in trouble, I will not stand idly by, so ah, let go of the courage to do what you want to do, don't be afraid, everything is for you to help you with." ”

“...... I know, husband. ”

When Dong Cailing heard this, he couldn't help but droop his head and whispered.

"You know. ”

Xia Fan pursed his lips and unceremoniously burst out vulgar words.

"Don't think I don't know, although you stupid girl married me, but you are still too alien to me, just like I asked Ah Chao to follow you, it was Ah Chao who helped you solve the problem, but what about you, a stupid girl? When you dealt with the affairs of the villa before, in the face of the three old guys' pushing, resistance, and disobedience, you actually chose to back down and compromise? Do you treat Ah Chao as an ornament? As long as you are tough, which of them dares to say no?"

“...... After all, there are many things in the villa, and Cailing needs to rely on the three uncles......"

Dong Cailing bit her lip lightly and said like a mosquito.

"So you're afraid of severing your relationship? Cailing, have you forgotten? You're the real owner, and it's true that you need their help, but you can't let their power override you, so what's the difference between you and a puppet?"

Xia Fan sighed lightly.

"You might as well think carefully about how your father ruled the villa in the first place, and what means he adopted, these are all places that you can learn from, I think you have followed your father for so many years, you won't even know these, right?"

“...... Husband, I see. ”

Dong Cailing's head hung even lower.

"Are you sure you really get it?"

Xia Fan didn't have a good airway.

“......”

As a result, Dong Cailing was as silent as a schoolboy who was being trained.

"By the way, I would like to remind you that there may be some situations in the two-day ceremony, and you should be mentally prepared. ”

Seeing this, Xia Fan simply diverted the topic.

"What's the situation?"

When Dong Cailing heard this, he immediately raised his head and looked at Xia Fan in a daze.

"I don't know, anyway, it's very likely that there will be troublemakers, but there are two sides to everything, and this is also an opportunity for you to prove that you are impressive. ”

Xia Fan said slowly.

“......”

Dong Cailing nodded thoughtfully.

"I'll sleep with you in my arms tonight. ”

Outcome.

Xia Fan's sudden words instantly made Dong Cailing panic.

“...... Husband, husband, you, you are ......."

Time.

Dong Cailing's words are not good.

"Don't think about it, little head, you don't think I really want to do anything to you, do you?"

Xia Fan raised his hand and tapped on Dong Cailing's head.

“...... My husband is teasing me again. ”

Dong Cailing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly.

"Do you think this is really a joke?"

Xia Fan looked at her with a smile and said.

“......”

Soon.

Dong Cailing understood what Xia Fan meant.

Because.

This night.

Xia Fan really hugged her from behind and slept all night.

Although he really didn't do anything, such a skin-to-skin kiss still made Dong Cailing's face red and his heart beat.

So much so that Dong Cailing, who woke up the next day, showed a trace of fatigue on his face.

After all, she hadn't slept all night.

It's not like Xia Fan, who has no heart and no lungs.

Anyway, Xia Fan should have hugged a humanoid doll.

Finish breakfast.

Dong Cailing left as if she was deserted.

And Peaches naturally noticed the abnormality of Dong Cailing.

As usual, before coming to the courtyard to practice.

She finally couldn't help the curiosity in her heart and asked Xia Fan.

"The shopkeeper's ...... Did you do anything to Cailing?"

"Oh, why do you ask?"

Lying on the rocking chair leisurely enjoying the warm morning sunshine, after hearing Peaches's question, Xia Fan couldn't help but say lazily.

"The shopkeeper, Cailing's little daughter attitude this morning can be seen by anyone, and only the shopkeeper can make Cailing like this. ”

Momoko forced out a smile and said.

"I just adjusted Cailing's mentality a little, but the method was a little special. ”

Xia Fan yawned.

"Don't you think sometimes Cailing is too alien to me?"

"......," Momoko said in silence for a moment. "There is indeed one thing, shopkeeper, Momoko said something you don't like to hear, I don't feel like you are a real couple. ”

"You're right, we really don't feel like a real couple right now. ”

Xia Fan said disapprerovitically.

"Shopkeeper, I don't know if Peaches should ask about something. ”

Momoko hesitated suddenly.

"Ask, what are you and me polite about? ”

Xia Fan said with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, why haven't you touched Cailing all the time?"

Momoko plucked up her courage and said.

As a daughter's family, Momoko can see that Cailing is still perfect. ”

"When the time comes, I won't touch Cailing, just like I won't touch you. ”

Xia Fan said in a flat tone.

"The time has not yet come?"

Momoko didn't know why.

"You'll naturally understand in the future, go and practice. ”

Xia Fan didn't answer, smiled and waved at her.

"I see. ”

Momoko also didn't ask.

Obediently, he returned to his familiar position, calmed down and cultivated.

A peaceful day passed unconsciously.

But a day of unrest came.

Because this day is the ceremony for Dong Cailing to become the owner of the village.

In fact, the succession ceremony seems to be a very boring thing for those who are not interested.

From worshipping heaven and earth to worshipping ancestors and ancestors.

Finally, self-declaration.

A series of solemn etiquette makes people doze off.

If Xia Fan was at the scene, he would probably have fallen asleep.

At the end of the ceremony, it is naturally the guests of the feast.

In a large hall dedicated to banquets and entertaining guests.

Sitting on the throne, Dong Cailing was dressed in a majestic black robe, holding a glass of wine in his hand to express his gratitude to the visitors.

Then the banquet officially began.

"The owner of the East Village is polite, I heard that the owner of the East Village is now married, but today is the ceremony of the succession of the owner of the East Village, why don't you see the husband of the East Village?"

When the banquet is halfway through.

Someone in the hall suddenly said loudly.

Dong Cailing, who was on the main seat, subconsciously followed the prestige when he heard it.

As a result, a handsome young man in the crowd raised his glass to him, while the other guests in the seat looked at him with different expressions.

"Huo Chengfeng, the son of the master of the Feixuan Sword Sect, just stepped into the realm of the Innate Great Grandmaster half a year ago. ”

Behind.

The expressionless Ah Chao gave a hint in an indifferent tone.

"It turned out to be Huo Gongzi of Feixuan Sword Gate, and the concubine's husband was ill today, so he didn't appear, and the concubine made amends to you on behalf of her husband. ”

After speaking.

Dong Cailing raised the wine glass in his hand and looked around, then raised his head and drank it all.

"Is she sick?" Cailing, but how can I hear from the people in the inner house that my niece-in-law's health has been fine lately?"

clinker next moment.

A gentle voice suddenly sounded in the main hall.

"Uncle, don't you know your husband's physical condition better than Cailing?"

Dong Cailing's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly turned his head to look at the bottom of his hand.

That's right.

The person who said this was none other than Qiu Hao.

"Cailing, that's not what I said, today is a grand day for you to succeed the owner, out of respect for everyone present, since the other party is your husband, even if he is ill and can't participate in the daytime ceremony, at least he should be able to meet you at the banquet, right?"

Qiu Hao understated.

"Do the two uncles think the same way?"

Who knew that Dong Cailing ignored Qiu Hao, but focused on Dong Yun and Dong Yun Bridge, where the old god was there.

"This is taking into account what the guests are thinking, not ours. ”

Dong Yun said slowly.

"I'm sorry everyone, the concubine is really unwell and can't come, and I hope you can have a lot of Haihan. ”

Dong Cailing immediately picked up the refilled wine glass and stood up, and once again toasted a glass of wine to everyone in the hall.

"The concubine has some urgent matters to deal with for the time being, so she has to take a step back first. ”

After speaking.

Dong Cailing turned around and walked towards the outside of the main hall.

"Cailing!"

Qiu Hao saw this.

Immediately, he stepped forward with a serious expression and stopped in front of Cailing.

"You're so rude. ”

"Uncle, please get out of the way. ”

Dong Cailing looked at Qiu Haodao calmly.

"Don't let the guests see the jokes. ”

"Cailing, the banquet is still a banquet without a host? Not to mention that my uncle has never heard of any urgent matters in the village. ”

Dong Yun said lightly on the side.

"Three uncles, do you want to make things difficult for Cailing today?"

Dong Cailing's voice said coldly.

"Cailing, you misunderstood us, from beginning to end, we just wanted your husband to come out and meet the guests, but it seems that Cailing, your reaction was a little too aggressive. ”

On the other side, the Dongyun Bridge is slow.

"Ah Chao!"

Dong Cailing was silent for a moment.

"What do you command, Madame?"

Ah Chao stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"Uncle, don't let your niece leave you with no affection in public. ”

Dong Cailing deliberately lowered his voice.

"You dare?"

Qiu Hao's face changed instantly, and his eyes unconsciously aimed at Ah Chao beside Dong Cailing.

"Uncle, you can give it a try. ”

The corners of Dong Cailing's mouth were slightly hooked.

"Including two uncles. ”
