Lin Ruoyan hugged Chen Ning tightly, just quietly enjoying this rare warmth, and did not speak, the thoughts and emotions that had been buried in his heart for a long time finally erupted, it was like a suppressed volcano suddenly erupting, extremely fierce and difficult to suppress.

Chen Ning also became stunned, his body stiffened like a stone sculpture, and he didn't move for a long time.

After all, this is still a woman with a beautiful appearance and a beautiful appearance.

Time passes quietly in this strange and ambiguous silence, good times are always short-lived, even in beautiful moments, there is an end to it.

Chen Ning and Lin Ruoyan relied on each other for an unknown amount of time, Lin Ruoyan finally let go of the arms holding Chen Ning, slowly stood up straight, glanced at Chen Ning quickly with a little shame, and then buried his head, gently and slowly tidied up the slightly messy clothes on his body, his cheeks were red, showing the shame of his little daughter.

Since she met Lin Ruoyan, Lin Ruoyan gave Chen Ning the feeling that she was either cold or silent, and she had never seen Lin Ruoyan show this little daughter-like shame.

"Is this the same she I knew?" Chen Ning couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, in his cognition, the Lin Ruoyan in front of him and the Lin Ruoyan he had seen were simply two people.

Chen Ning took a deep breath, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Lin Ruoyan's body, and his heart was intoxicated again, this fragrance, coupled with the girl's initiative to give her arms, the combination of the two is simply a magic medicine used to intoxicate men. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Ning had reached the realm of King Xuan, with a strong mind and a firm mind, I am afraid that he would have lost the ability to control himself.

Chen Ning slowly calmed himself down, his eyes were also a little complicated and looked at Lin Ruoyan who was close at hand in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Miss Ruoyan, are you okay?" ”

Lin Ruoyan shook her head gently, slowly raised her head and looked directly at Chen Ning, after this period of time, the expression on her face had returned to normal, although her cheeks still had a little bit of pink, but this made her even more charming.

Looking at the handsome face full of fortitude in front of him, Lin Ruoyan's gaze gradually became a little blurred, this face, compared with half a year ago, has a more masculine atmosphere.

Chen Ning was a little furious by Lin Ruoyan's gaze, and subconsciously avoided it, as if he was a little afraid of this gaze.

Chen Ning is not a three-year-old child who doesn't understand anything, of course he can see something from Lin Ruoyan's gaze, but this makes him feel very embarrassed in his heart.

Because the burden on his shoulders is too heavy, although Chen Ning looks like he is extremely beautiful on the outside, not only has the strength of King Xuan, but also is the protector of the Ming Dynasty, but only Chen Ning himself can understand how great the pressure he will face in the future, now, he just wants to focus all his energy on improving his strength, and he has no intention of talking about his children's personal affairs at all.

"Chen Ning, it's been more than half a year since the world was goodbye, have you thought about me?" Lin Ruoyan looked at Chen Ning with tenderness and said softly. In terms of dealing with emotional matters, Lin Ruoyan is obviously much more straightforward, will not hide it, dare to act, and has a chivalrous demeanor, which is completely different from Youyue's subtlety, the two are two personalities.

"Uh...."Chen Ning didn't expect Lin Ruoyan to ask such a topic, and after a while, Lin Ruoyan suddenly became hot, making Chen Ning, who was used to her cold appearance, obviously feel very uncomfortable.

However, Chen Ning also reacted quickly, and said a little indifferently: "I have thought about it!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Ruoyan's face showed a happy smile, but she didn't know that what Chen Ning had thought about in her mouth was 108,000 miles away from what she thought in her heart, because what Chen Ning said had thought about it was just an occasional reminder of the past in her mind, not a thought.

However, this smile didn't last long, and the expression on Lin Ruoyan's face suddenly became dim, and his expression was full of deep sorrow and sadness.

Seeing Lin Ruoyan's expression like this, thinking of Lin Ruoyan's abnormal behavior just now, Chen Ning's heart sank slightly, and he had already realized that this little girl might have encountered some trouble or difficulty.

"Miss Ruoyan, are you alright?" Chen Ning asked again, Lin Ruoyan took the initiative to hug Chen Ning before, which made Chen Ning feel a strange feeling in his heart, and seeing her sad face at this moment, his heart was also inexplicably tight. Now, even Chen Ning himself can't tell if he cares about Lin Ruoyan.

Lin Ruoyan glanced at Chen Ning's handsome and masculine face and the chest that had just been hugged by him, sighed lightly, slowly turned around and came to the window again, looking at the scenery outside with his back to Chen Ning.

And the moment Lin Ruoyan turned around, Chen Ning could clearly catch a clear teardrop rolling down from the corner of her eye.

Chen Ning's mood became heavy inexplicably, somehow, Lin Ruoyan looked like this, but it made his heart feel a slight pain, faintly, he already felt that something bad seemed to happen to Lin Ruoyan.

After a long time, Lin Ruoyan finally spoke: "Chen Ning, do you know, my father has already married me to the second young master of the Huanggu family. Lin Ruoyan's voice was weak, his tone was full of pain, and there was a faint cry.

Hearing this, Chen Ning's face changed slightly, although so far Chen Ning was still only Qin Zixuan in his heart, but hearing Lin Ruoyan's words, Chen Ning's mood still became a little heavy. Perhaps seeing Lin Ruoyan's feelings for herself, Chen Ning also had a strange feeling in her heart, and she didn't want such a beautiful girl to marry someone she didn't love.

Chen Ning calmed down his mood and said, "The Ancient Family? Could it be that this is a top family whose strength is not weaker than your Lin family? ”

"The strength of the Huanggu family is not much different from our Lin family, together with our Lin family, as well as the Shi family, the Miyamoto family, and the Dugu family you have seen, are all hermit families, and the hermit family has a history of at least thousands of years on the Xuantian Continent, and there are hermit powerhouses in the Xuanzun realm in the family for generations, and their strength is very strong." Lin Ruoyan said softly.

"Hermit family? Could it be that as long as there are strong people in the Xuanzun realm, are they all hermit families? Chen Ning asked curiously.

"It's not all, the hermit family is different from the outside family, the family that can be called the hermit family is almost all semi-hidden, and there is little contact with the outside world, such a family is called a hermit family, such a family is called a hermit family, such as my Lin family, my Lin family is entrenched in the mountains all year round, and there are very few disciples in the family walking outside, resulting in the outside world, only a few people know the existence of our Lin family, and the rest of the hermit families are almost all like this."

"I have already heard Uncle Wang and Uncle Jia talk about the Xuanzun skeleton last time, if it weren't for the Xuanzun King of the Qiangan Kingdom who found our Lin family and revealed the matter of the Xuanzun skeleton, it would be impossible for our Lin family to appear in the outside world, unless something big happened."

"And outside, there are many family forces that are stronger than our Lin family and the vast majority of hermit families, such as the Eight Great Imperial Dynasties and the Three Heavenly Dynasties, as well as many ancient families that are famous and shocking, their strength is above our hermit family, and they are just living a life of entering the world. Among the hermit families, only a very small number of powerful families can confront the Eight Great Dynasties and those ancient families that have entered the world, and as for the Three Heavenly Dynasties, I am afraid that only the ancient families that are older and have a deeper heritage have the ability to compete with them. ”

Lin Ruoyan's words made Chen Ning understand the strength of the hermit family more deeply, but what he didn't expect was that above the hermit family, there was an even more powerful ancient family.

"How strong is the strength of the Ancient Family?" Chen Ning's curiosity was seduced.

"I don't know!" Lin Ruoyan said softly: "I also saw the affairs of the ancient family in the classics of the Lin family, and I have never heard anyone mention it, I only know that the ancient families are huge families that have existed for tens of thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years, although they exist on the Xuantian Continent, but no one knows where these ancient families are." ”

"However, it has been recorded in the classics that unless something big happens on the Xuantian Continent, otherwise, these ancient families will not appear on the Xuantian Continent, because they are a group of real hermit families."

"I didn't expect the water on the Xuantian Continent to be so deep." Chen Ning muttered to himself in a low voice, and his opinion on the Xuantian Continent in his heart had changed dramatically again.

With the continuous improvement of his own strength, his field is also expanding.

I think that at the beginning, when he was still hunting demon beasts in Taoliu City to hunt demon cores for cultivation, in that small third-level city, the Great Xuan Master was already a very rare master, and the half-step Xuan King was a top master, and he had the ability to call the wind and rain in a place like Taoliu City. As for King Xuan, whether it is in the Xiongnu Kingdom or the Jason Kingdom, they are all high and god-like existences, they represent the most cutting-edge power of a kingdom, and in the event of a war, the powerhouses of the Xuan King class are even the spiritual pillars of millions of armies.

And now, when he came into contact with a big family of the Lin family, Chen Ning felt as if he had stepped into a higher-level realm space, and the cutting-edge power was no longer the Xuan King, but the supreme Xuan Zun who had comprehended the mysteries of heaven and earth. And King Xuan can only be regarded as an intermediate force.

Chen Ning lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Miss Ruoyan, I have learned from the mouth of your Lin family ancestor that your Lin family is currently encountering the predicament, and the purpose of your marriage with the Huanggu family must be to draw the Huanggu family into your camp." ”

"You guessed right, although our Lin family seems to be calm, but only the real core disciples know what kind of predicament our Lin family is currently in, if we don't find a strong foreign aid, I'm afraid that our Lin family will not have many days to exist, the grievances between us and the Hongfu family have accumulated from our ancestors to today, and the depth of hatred has already reached the point where it cannot be resolved, and only one of our two families is destined to survive. Now that the Hongfu family is powerful, it has completely suppressed our Lin family, and our Lin family can only unite with the Huanggu family, so that we can deter the Hongfu family and make them dare not act rashly, and I am the only gift to win over the Huanggu family. ”

Lin Ruoyan's voice lagged behind, Chen Ning didn't speak for a long time, he stood there and hesitated for a long time, his eyes flashed, as if he was doing some fierce struggle.

After a while, Chen Ning gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind, saying, "If I can find strong foreign aid for the Lin family, will I be able to shirk your marriage with the Huanggu family?" ”

Lin Ruoyan's body trembled violently, and he slowly turned around and came to Chen Ning, looking at Chen Ning's serious look, he couldn't help but show a shallow smile on his face, but he smiled so helplessly and desolately.

"Chen Ning, I know that you are the protector of the Ming Dynasty, presumably you have only only become the protector of the Ming Dynasty not long ago, your position is not very solid, this matter is not only agreed by my father, but also by my grandfather, you and I can't stop anything at all, you still don't get involved, otherwise, I'm afraid it will add a lot of trouble to the Ming Dynasty, and the rest of the people in power in the Ming Dynasty will definitely not agree to you doing this."

Lin Ruoyan's expression was full of helplessness, his eyes looked at Chen Ning intently, and he smiled lightly: "Actually, at this moment, I can hug you and leave my fragrance on you, I am already very satisfied." ”

Chen Ning's gaze became more firm, and he said: "Ruoyan, don't worry, I, Chen Ning, will do my best to help you, and I will definitely not let you marry someone you don't like." ”

Chen Ning's words are categorical, very resolute, and with a strong belief.

Hearing Chen Ning's words in Lin Ruoyan's heart, her heart suddenly became warm and excited, and finally she couldn't help but hug Chen Ning tightly again, her body sobbed slightly, crying silently, leaving tears of excitement.

"Chen Ning, with your words, I feel very satisfied, it turns out that you have mine in your heart, right." Lin Ruoyan said softly in a crying tone, her soft and beautiful voice was full of excitement.

Chen Ning didn't speak, and let Lin Ruoyan hug him again, because this question was really difficult for him to answer, and he didn't think about emotional matters at all.

Lin Ruoyan continued: "Chen Ning, the marriage between our Lin family and the Huanggu family is already unchangeable, you still don't waste your strength, because this is useless at all, and the Ming Dynasty will not be able to support you to do this at all." Lin Ruoyan's tone was full of sadness.

The appearance of the two looks as if a pair of mandarin ducks are about to be forcibly separated, and they are trying to resist at the moment.

Chen Ning gently broke free from Lin Ruoyan's embrace, and said: "This matter has not yet reached the point of irretrievability, don't worry, I will do my best to help you get out of the sea of suffering, and I will go to discuss with your Lin family ancestor." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ning turned around and left without the slightest memory, and walked out of the small attic where Lin Ruoyan lived.

Lin Ruoyan didn't stop it, looking at Chen Ning's disappeared back with a blank expression, his eyes were full of tenderness, and tears continued to burst out of his eyes, slowly rolling down the cheeks of the country and the city.

Chen Ning didn't stay in the attic where Lin Ruoyan lived for a long time, and it didn't exceed half an hour, but when he walked out of the attic, the second elder of the Lin family had disappeared and didn't know where to go.

A middle-aged man in a white robe walked towards the small attic where Lin Ruoyan lived from a distance, and when he saw Chen Ning standing in front of the small attic, he said from afar: "This must be the protector of the Ming Dynasty!" The middle-aged man was smiling, enthusiastic, and spoke in a very cordial tone.

Chen Ning looked at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man only had the strength of a half-step Xuan King, but he was magnificent, his demeanor was full of majesty, and there was a domineering spirit between his gestures.

Although the middle-aged man only had the strength of a half-step Xuan King, Chen Ning did not have the slightest contempt for this, he bowed his hand politely, and said with a light smile: "Under Chen Ning!" ”

Seeing that Chen Ning, as the protector of the Ming Dynasty, was still so polite to a half-step Xuan King, this made the middle-aged man look at Chen Ning with a little praise in his eyes, and the smile on his face became more cordial, and he also arched his hand: "Below is the current head of the Lin family - Lin Qinglan, and Ruoyan is my daughter, speaking of which, Ruoyan once had some relationship with the protector of the country." ”

Hearing that this middle-aged man turned out to be Lin Ruoyan's father, a look of surprise flashed in Chen Ning's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, and said with a light smile: "It turned out to be the head of the Lin family, fortunately, fortunately!" ”

"Protector of the country, the first two generations of the Lin family are my grandfather, but he has now gone to the back mountain for retreat, so he can't entertain you, if there is any neglect, please forgive me, now take the protector of the country to Cuiyunxuan, we have already set up a banquet, and the other five distinguished guests of the Ming Dynasty are also there, just wait for the arrival of the protector of the country." Lin Qinglan said with a smile.

Chen Ning hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Family master, I'm really sorry, if you have something important to do in the next place, you have to go to the peak of the back mountain immediately to discuss with your seniors, so you can't go over with the head of the family, please forgive me." ”

As soon as he heard that it was the senior on the peak of the back mountain, Lin Qinglan immediately thought of the ancestor in the Lin family, and immediately stood in awe, and said with a straight face: "Since this is the case, then there will be no delay in the time of protecting the country and the national teacher." ”

"Farewell!" Chen Ning didn't say anything more, his body rose from the ground, and flew into the distance.

Looking at Chen Ning, who quickly disappeared into the sky, Lin Qinglan's eyes also showed envy that could not be concealed, and he said to himself; "I didn't expect this Chen Ning to reach the realm of King Xuan at such a young age, it's really enviable and yearning."

After Lin Qinglan sighed, he walked towards the small attic in front of him, but when he just passed by the place where Chen Ning was standing just now, his figure paused slightly, and his nose sniffed the fragrance remaining in the air, and then let out a long sigh: "This is the smell of Youlanxiang, I didn't expect Ruoyan to use Youlanxiang on Chen Ning, alas....."

Lin Qinglan's face was full of helplessness, Youlanxiang is just a kind of incense powder, and it is not very famous in the Xuantian Continent, because Youlanxiang is only circulated among girls, in the minds of girls, Youlanxiang is a sacred flower that symbolizes pure love, a girl can only use it once in her life, but this only time, but it will only be used on the man she truly loves, which means that she has fallen in love with this person and will not change for life.

And once a girl uses a ghost orchid on a man, it means that the girl is already planning to give everything to the boy and wrap her chastity.

Because there is a pure natural medicine in the orchid incense, it can confuse people's minds to a certain extent and arouse the most primitive desires of human beings.

Lin Qinglan didn't expect that his daughter and Chen Ning had only been together for such a short period of time, and they would even go so far as to use Youlanxiang for Chen Ning's sake, which was indeed beyond his expectations.

In this regard, Lin Qinglan sighed or sighed, Chen Ning is indeed very good, so good that he can't find fault with it, it's so perfect, but the current situation facing the Lin family has reached a critical moment, and Lin Ruoyan, as the only victim of winning over the Huanggu family, has no right to choose his own love at all.

Lin Qinglan entered the small attic, went straight to the second floor, smelled the fragrance of the orchid that filled the whole room, shook his head helplessly again, and then his eyes fell on his daughter's pretty face full of tears, and he also felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"If you say ......" Lin Qinglan opened her mouth, wanting to say some comforting words to comfort her daughter, but as soon as she spoke, she didn't know what words to use to comfort.

Lin Ruoyan wiped the tears on her face with a yellow handkerchief, turned her back to Lin Qinglan, and said, "Dad, my daughter wants to be alone for a while." ”

Looking at Lin Ruoyan's indifferent look, Lin Qinglan sighed secretly in his heart, and said: "Daughter, Daddy knows that you already have Chen Ning in your heart, yes, he is indeed very good, except for his family background, he is no worse than the second Shao of the Huanggu family anywhere, if it is in normal times, Daddy is also very happy that you can combine with Chen Ning, but now the predicament faced by my Lin family is also clear in your heart, and we are forced to do this." ”

Seeing that his daughter didn't speak, the middle-aged man didn't want to stay in the room full of the fragrance of Youlan, and said, "If you say, Daddy won't disturb you, you can be quiet alone!" ”

……

Chen Ning came back to the peak where the ancestor of the Lin family stayed, and said to the wooden house: "Senior, junior has something I want to discuss with you." ”

"Come in!" The flat voice of the ancestor of the Lin family came from inside the wooden house.

Chen Ning strode into the wooden house, in the narrow and simple wooden house, the ancestor of the Lin family was wearing a fairy wind bones, sitting cross-legged on a piece of jade, looking at Chen Ning with a smile.

"Chen Ning, I don't know if you have anything to discuss with the old man, could it be that you have changed your mind and are willing to assist our Lin family with the power of the Ming Dynasty?" The Lin family ancestor's tone was very flat.

"The seniors laughed, this matter is very important, the younger generation can't represent the Ming Dynasty, and even if the younger generation agrees, I'm afraid that the other national protectors of the Ming Dynasty will also oppose it." Chen Ning said with a smile.

"Then what are you here for?" The ancestor of the Lin family asked, a little puzzled.

"Seniors, although the juniors can't let the Ming Dynasty assist the Lin family, they can find another strong person to help, but the condition is to cancel the marriage between Miss Ruoyan and the Huanggu family." Chen Ning stared at the ancestor of the Lin family tightly, he knew that the old man in front of him had supreme majesty in the Lin family, and only by convincing him could he fundamentally solve Lin Ruoyan's problem.

The ancestor of the Lin family frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, and said: "Chen Ning, the marriage between our Lin family and the Huanggu family has been decided, and Lin Ruoyan's talent is extraordinary, at the age of twenty, she has reached the realm of a half-step Xuanwang, and her talent is a rare genius in our Lin family, which makes the people of the Huanggu family also very fond of it, and once tried every possible way to marry Ruoyan, but now this marriage has finally been decided, which makes the people of the Huanggu family happy for a while, if you want to dissolve it, how easy it is to say, and do this." , it will also destroy the friendship between our Lin family and the Huanggu family. ”

Chen Ning's face changed slightly, and he said hurriedly: "Senior, then how do you want to break this marriage contract." ”

Looking at Chen Ning's nervous expression, the ancestor of the Lin family suddenly laughed and said, "Chen Ning, could it be that you have fallen in love with Ruoyan, this girl?" Are you going to marry her? If you marry our Lin family as the protector of the Ming Dynasty, the old man will agree with it very much. ”

Chen Ning smiled dryly: "Senior, don't joke with the juniors, this matter is too involved, and the Ming Dynasty will not intervene at all." ”

The ancestor of the Lin family showed a disappointed look on his face, and said: "Alas, Chen Ning, the old man should explain it directly, our Lin family and the Huanggu family have been friends for hundreds of years, if this marriage is unilaterally dissolved by us, it will inevitably destroy our relationship with the Huanggu family, although you can find another strong person for our Lin family, but our Lin family still won't do this, unless the foreign aid you find can be as strong as the Ming Dynasty, our Lin family will dare to take a risk." ”

Chen Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "Seniors, juniors don't know what the strength of that master is, but it must be no worse than the Huanggu family." ”

"Then how many heavens has his strength reached Xuanzun?" The Lin family ancestor's eyes flickered, and he was very concerned about this issue.

"The juniors don't know!" Chen Ning said with an innocent face.

Hearing this, the Lin family ancestor once again showed a disappointed look, but it didn't last long, Chen Ning's next sentence made the look on his face instantly freeze.

"The younger generation only knows that the senior master reached the realm of Xuanzun five thousand years ago."

"What! Five thousand years ago, he reached the realm of Xuanzun! The ancestor of the Lin family could not keep his composure, and jumped up from the jade with a shocked look on his face.

"Yes, it is true that it reached the Xuanzun realm five thousand years ago!" Chen Ning opened his mouth and said, but the Lin family ancestor's abnormal demeanor made Chen Ning's mind become active.

The ancestor of the Lin family stared at Chen Ning with an extremely nervous expression, and asked in a trembling tone, "You... It's true, he... He... He's still alive? ”

"Live well!" Chen Ning replied truthfully.
