Volume 1 Ordinary Hidden Immortals Chapter 22 The Old Man Meets Again (Seeking Collection and Investment)
On the way to the living room, Nangong Xiao carefully asked the family about the appearance of the visitor. That family Ding is also bright, and his tongue is very sharp, and after a while, he described a seven, seven, eight, eight, one, a man and two women, and what surprised him was that one of the women was Qin Suxin's daughter if he didn't guess wrong.
A hundred thoughts flashed in Nangong Xiao's heart, but each thought felt that this woman was not good, and he only hoped that she would not find out her cultivation. With a twist of mind, he pressed his mana fluctuation to the minimum, hoping to deceive this woman.
After a while, the two of them came to a lobby door, this is where the Li Mansion entertains guests, but for themselves, this place is really a little unfamiliar, they haven't been here for a few years, and they look around with some curiosity.
At this time, the family had already passed the ceremony, so they led Nangong Xiao in.
There were not many people in the hall, two men and two women. Although the middle-aged man on the main seat is not good-looking, he has an extraordinary bearing and a very leader-like demeanor, which is none other than Li Tianhao, the head of the family. On the guest seat sat a man and two women, the men were also thirty or forty years old, and he was dressed in a blue robe, like a poor Confucian student, but with a proud expression, as if he were the master of the place.
The remaining two women, one of them was wearing a turquoise pleated skirt with a beautiful appearance, it was Qin Suxin's daughter, who felt that her aura fluctuations were stronger than before, but at this time, her eyes were indifferent, and she didn't seem to be interested in this place at all, and she was faintly impatient.
The other girl is relatively young, but she is close to her own age, her small face is as white as jade, faintly revealing a little red, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, and she looks charming. If it is a few years later, it will not be a lord who will bring disaster to the country and the people.
But the strange thing is that I think this girl is very kind-faced, as if she has seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while.
"Li Tao, what are you looking around, and you don't want to give your second uncle a salute." When Li Tianhao saw Nangong Xiao coming in, he didn't say hello, and he didn't salute. Looking around, as if he had never seen the world, he couldn't help but be angry in his words.
When Nangong Xiao heard this, he didn't get angry, and thought in his heart, if you hadn't ignored Li Tao all day long, so that he hadn't entered the living room for several years. I've almost forgotten what the furnishings are here.
He didn't stop in his hands, saluting Li Tianhao and the second uncle one by one, and then sat on the opposite guest seat very naturally, feeling strange in his heart, why didn't he see the second uncle when he sacrificed to the ancestors. But because it was an ice face, it didn't show anything on its face.
During this time, he secretly glanced at Qin Suxin, this woman was nothing unusual except for his sneer at Grandma Liu's behavior of entering the Grand View Garden, it seemed that her cultivation was not as high as her eyelids, and she didn't see any clues.
However, you must also beware of this woman, in case she is suspicious by revealing her feet, it is estimated that she will be completely exposed if she is swept by one of her divine senses.
On the other side, Li Tianhao was choked by Nangong Xiao's behavior of sitting down by himself without his permission, and he looked even more impatient, and spoke: "Since Li Tao has come, let's discuss the divorce." β
Divorce!? Nangong Xiao was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at this cheap dad in surprise, if he hadn't been able to make any expressions, he must have been very exciting now. However, seeing Li Tianhao's angry face, he didn't want to ask anything, so he thought about it himself.
It seems that that girl is my fiancΓ©e, but I didn't expect that my down-and-out young master would also be engaged. But why do you want to get out of the marriage now? Nangong Xiao stared at the girl with a strange face, the girl felt his gaze, and lowered her head with a blushing face, causing Qin Suxin on the other side to glare at him fiercely.
This gave him a hint of enlightenment, and there was probably only one reason for a poor Confucian relative who couldn't even participate in the ancestral sacrifice to be related to the daughter of a county guard like Qin Suxin.
At this moment, the second uncle said arrogantly, "There's nothing to talk about, we have withdrawn from this marriage." My daughter Li Shumei is about to embark on the fairy road (Nangong Xiao: That's really the case), then she will be a fairy from now on, how can she marry a mortal man like your Li family? While talking about Lao Gao, whose head was still raised, if it weren't for the fact that the goatee under his chin was still there, Nangong Xiao would have thought that he wanted to learn from the hen that had just laid eggs.
Coincidentally, even Qin Suxin next to him couldn't help frowning in disgust.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people present were different. Li Tianhao forcibly suppressed his anger and looked directly at this distant relative who he had not bothered to look at before, if he hadn't been afraid of the cultivator next to him, he would have ordered someone to beat out such a snobbish villain. Why is he barking at himself here?
What is the concept of a cultivator, as the head of the Li family, he naturally knows, so unless he has to, he will never offend these guys with extraordinary magical powers.
And after Li Shumei heard this, her delicate body trembled, her little face turned pale, she bowed her head and said nothing, and looked at Nangong Xiao with slightly red eyes from time to time, as if asking for help.
Although Qin Suxin was a little disgusted by Li Shumei's father's appearance, she also agreed with his words, but she bowed her head slightly without saying a word.
Nangong Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, falling into a childhood memory.
On the grass, the boy put a beautiful little flower in the girl's hair, and the girl was happy, and said to the boy with a slightly red face, "Li Tao, will you marry me as your bride in the future?" β
"What's that," the boy asked ignorantly.
The girl's face turned red for a while, and she said weakly, "It's just eating together, playing together, sleeping together......" The more she said, the quieter her voice became, and the last word was like a mosquito.
"Yes." The boy replied with a smile and dryly.
"Really?" The girl's blood-dripping face showed a hint of joy, "Pull the hook, don't be laid!" β
"Okay."
Nangong Xiao recalled this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, I have to say that this is a very old-fashioned plot, but it is one of Li Tao's rare and happy childhood memories, which he so cherished and buried in his heart.
It seems that this marriage contract was won for himself when his mother and Li Tianhao were still getting along. As I thought about it, a warm feeling crossed my heart.
I have to admire Li Tao's luck, this kind of thing can make him bump into him, looking at Li Shumei's appearance, she still has a deep affection for herself. I couldn't help but feel that this mother knew people with a good eye, but then she was depressed, how did she find a white-eyed wolf like Li Tianhao.
Nangong Xiao glanced at everyone's expressions and sighed secretly, he didn't expect to encounter such a bloody plot. If Li Tao had fought for it before, but with the current Nangong Xiao, this bloody plot will not have a bloody ending after all.
If Li Shumei can come a few more times in the past few years, or if her wife has not died, maybe the situation will change. But that's only if. The memories of his childhood were sweet, but Li Tao was young and ignorant at that time, and he didn't understand the meaning at all, and thought he was making friends.
I haven't seen each other for a few years, and I have experienced the blow of my mother's death and the fusion of my soul with Nangong Xiao, which makes this relationship very weak.
And now that he has embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, he doesn't want to get too involved in the affairs of men and women, at least in Li Hua's experience during the Qi training period, it is clearly mentioned that maintaining the body of a boy and Yuan Yin when building a foundation is more conducive to the success of foundation building. I was more determined to dissolve the marriage contract.
Just when Nangong Xiao was deep in thought, Li Tianhao and the second uncle argued a few more words. Li Tianhao was forced to have no choice but to start talking about Nangong Xiao.
"Li Tao and Shumei have no guesses since they were young, and they have a deep relationship. You have to ask them for their opinions, they are not children anymore, they have their own opinions. β
Li Tianhao is so reluctant to let this marriage contract go yellow not because his father's love broke out and he cares about Nangong Xiaolai, but because he is afraid that this matter will spread and lose his face. After all, the Li family is also a big family with a head and face in Lucheng, and the marriage contract was withdrawn by a poor relative who was reluctant to buy meat during the holidays, which was really unacceptable.
Although there are immortal cultivators interfering in this, this is not something that can be put on the surface, if he dares to poke out, then he may be raided tomorrow, which really makes Li Tianhao in a dilemma, so he has to count on Li Tao and Li Shumei to be infatuated and will not agree to this divorce.
Nangong Xiao saw that everyone present looked at him, and it was not good to remain silent, and asked pretending to be unclear: "What is the matter with this cousin who wants to embark on the immortal path?" β
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, but they didn't show a surprised expression, after all, the cultivation realm was extremely unfamiliar to mortals. Seeing this, Qin Suxin on the other side took the words: "Let me show you it." β
Immediately, Qin Su had words in his mouth, and his left hand kept pinching the trick. Nangong Xiao knew at a glance that this was a fireball technique, but he had a look of disbelief on his face.
Soon, a fist-sized fireball condensed in Qin Suxin's right hand, and under the surprised gaze of everyone, he sent it out with his backhand and hit a chair, and suddenly the fireball spread, wrapping the entire chair, and in an instant, the chair turned into ashes.
The others were speechless in surprise for a moment (except for Nangong Xiao). Li Tianhao looked discouraged when he saw this scene, and the second uncle straightened his neck even more.
Qin Suxin accepted the formula, looked at Nangong Xiao and said, "Do you understand, you will be a person from two worlds in the future, and her lifespan will be much longer than yours, if you insist on going your own way, you will drag her down." At this time, he pressed his head very low, showing a timid and afraid look, in fact, he was afraid that the rest of the people would see his unfazed face.
Nangong Xiao used all his acting skills, trying to make his tone sound like he was frightened.
"Don't dare, don't dare, how can you be worthy of a cousin fairy-like character, I hope to forgive me for the unreasonableness. The matter of the marriage contract should be given up and resigned. With that, he fled in the wilderness.
After Li Shumei heard this, two lines of tears slid down her cheeks, and she ran out crying with one hand to wipe her tears. Qin Suxin saw it, hurried behind tightly, and also went out of the mansion.
The second uncle stood up contentedly, and without even saying a word of farewell, he swaggered out. Only Li Tianhao was left sitting on the table and chair alone, his face changing from red to white.
