Chapter 259: There Is a Purpose
At the stone table, Xingyan drank a cup of tea, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Don't you have other ideas, for example, I may not be worthy of you, or not suitable for you." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ye Lanyinyu held the teacup in her hand, her beautiful eyes showed a very clear gaze, looking at the face she saw for the first time in front of her, she nodded slightly, but shook her head and said: "Yes, I used to think that the so-called baby relatives are playmates who have played together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, but I am different from you, I have only met once until now, and we are very strange to each other. β
"But now it doesn't matter if you're worthy of me or not, because I have to follow the family's wishes and get betrothed to you, and I have no choice but to do that. β
In the end, there was an inexplicable color in the girl's eyes, which seemed a little bitter and embarrassed.
And hearing these words, Xingyan also felt that the other party was forced, since she had her own ideas, why was she so submissive, and they both felt strangers to each other, but she had to be engaged to herself?
"Why is there no choice? I don't mean to force you, if you don't feel like it's right for you to refuse, it won't affect me. β
Xingyan shook his head seriously and sighed.
"Hearing you say that, it seems like you don't know anything. Ye Lanyin said curiously.
"You know what?"
"Since you want to know, then I won't hide it from you. Ye Lanyin straightened her slender waist and said seriously: "The reason why I have to be engaged to you is very simple, that is, I hope that after I get engaged to you, Grandpa Feng will be able to help our Ye family prevent the current disaster." β
"Disaster?" Hearing this, Xing Yan's eyes froze, and he didn't know the reason for it.
Ye Lanyin continued: "If you have patience, I'll tell you slowly, I have been out to practice half a year ago, in order to improve my strength, I have experienced a lot of things, originally I didn't want to come back now, but there are several reasons that have to let me come back early." β
"I came back not only to complete my coming-of-age ceremony, but also because of the Heavenly Hell Peak, which has become very rampant now, is now very strong, and has always had the ambition to annex other forces, so I gradually pointed the finger at the Ye family. β
"In addition to taking a fancy to the huge resources of our Ye family, among them, because of some reasons, they don't plan to let go of the Ye family, so this time I received a notice from my grandfather and asked me to come back, and then after some discussion, they let me get engaged to you, because as long as I am engaged to you, Grandpa Feng will definitely help and relieve the crisis for the Ye family. β
After Ye Lanyin finished explaining unhurriedly, Xingyan took a deep breath, looked at Ye Lanyin with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes and said slowly: "You mean to be engaged to me, that's the reason?"
Ye Lanyin nodded his head: "That's right, but it's not exactly this purpose, if there is no oppression from Heavenly Hell Peak, we will also have a marriage contract, but we will have to take into account my feelings at that time, and now it just happens to be the marriage contract." β
"Does that mean that now you have to be engaged to me for the sake of the Ye family?" Xing Yan said leisurely.
"yes, is there anything wrong?, or did you misunderstand something?" Ye Lanyin raised her eyebrows.
Xingyan shook his head: "No, I understand what you mean, and our two families have been friends for a long time, even if you haven't completed your engagement with me, as long as the Ye family is in trouble, grandpa will definitely not sit idly by, but now it's ......"
Speaking of this, Xing Yan hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to speak, no wonder the attitude of Ye Zong and all the Ye family powerhouses today was very resolute, and he didn't ask much about the marriage contract, and directly agreed to the engagement, it turned out that the Ye family had already suffered from the oppression of Heavenly Hell Peak and was in great need of help.
But the problem now is that Grandpa Feng is no longer there, and if they know about it, they will inevitably be disappointed, and it is not a good thing for the Ye family.
"But what?" Ye Lanyin didn't understand what Xingyan meant, and said softly.
Xingyan thought for a while and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I also said today, grandpa has been in retreat for many years, and there is no movement now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to help in time." β
"That's trouble. Ye Lanyin's eyes drooped, her beautiful eyes blinked, and she said helplessly: "You don't know, originally we still had the strength to fight, but now that grandpa was attacked by Heavenly Hell Peak once, and there is some kind of poison left on his body, I am afraid that he will not survive, and my father's words alone are not enough to fight." β
"Is Grandpa Ye injured?" Xingyan was slightly startled, when they met today, Ye Zong's improvement was not bad, his breath was stable, and he couldn't see the feeling of injury at all.
"Yes, otherwise our Ye family would not show weakness to Heavenly Hell Peak, but most people in the Ye family don't know about this matter, and grandpa has been pretending to be okay and covering up his injuries. β
"So that's the case, you're still cultivating so late, and that's why you're still cultivating?" Xing Yan said slowly.
"I just want to improve my strength quickly and contribute something to the family, but I don't think it's enough, but I want to tell you something, can you get engaged to me? This is actually grandpa's long-standing wish, even if there is no Heavenly Hell Peak, grandpa will very much want to see me and you engaged, because this has always been the original intention of the two grandfathers to give us an engagement, if we can't find an antidote, grandpa may die, I don't want him to have regrets." β
Ye Lanyin's eyes were staring at the latter, and at the end, there was suddenly an extra request in his tone, if it was normal, such a beautiful girl would say this, I don't know how many people would go crazy.
Xingyan nodded: "I agreed, although grandpa didn't come, but at least there is still me, and I can also do something for the Ye family." β
"Yes, thank you. Ye Lanyin nodded very gratefully, no matter what happened to the Ye family, she would do her best to protect it.
"It doesn't matter, to be honest, our grandfather and grandson don't have many friends here, and if we can become good friends with the Ye family, we will already be considered a family. β
Xing Yan smiled, he was also a little troubled about Ye Zong's affairs, judging from the marriage contract, Ye Zong was Grandpa Feng's best friend in this Xuantian Spirit Land, if Grandpa Feng knew the safety of the Ye family at this time, it is estimated that he would have solved it a long time ago.
Hearing the latter's words, Ye Lanyin burst out laughing: "You really don't treat yourself as an outsider?"
Xingyan arched his hand: "Didn't you just promise to get engaged? Is this still an outsider? Moreover, I remember my grandfather's instructions, he said that as long as he comes to the Ye family, he will be taken care of by the Ye family, and I think the relationship between them can already be regarded as a family." β
Then, the two continued to talk about many things at this stone table, and their topic was no longer about the danger of the Ye family, but when they were young, the atmosphere became more and more active, and gradually made Ye Lanyin forget the sad thing just now.
I don't know how long the two have been talking, but I know that the words of the two have been heard in this quiet garden, and the pot of tea has been empty.
Then Xingyan left in the middle of the night, and before leaving, Ye Lanyin interestingly asked herself to accompany her to learn, and said that this would be a better practice, but Xingyan did not agree, but said: My fist is only aimed at the enemy.
The next morning, Xingyan had just woken up when there was a knock on the door, and a smiling face appeared outside the door.
"Hehe, Brother Xingyan, you can be regarded as opening the door, I knocked for a long time. β
What appeared in front of him was Ye Xiao, who was defeated in his hands yesterday, at this time he was wearing a gorgeous costume, very decent, and looked like he was going out.
Xing Yan rubbed his eyes and asked with a smile, "Brother Ye Xiao, is there something wrong early in the morning?"
Ye Xiao arched his hand and smiled: "You should be very strange when you first came to the imperial capital, if you want to find you to play, don't refuse, I have a big face in the Ye family, and I usually ignore the invitations of those cousins." β
Xing Yan smiled and nodded: "It's okay, it's boring to stay here, let's go for a walk together." β
"That's okay, when the time comes, I will have two drinks, I also have a few good brothers, all of whom are geniuses of the Ye family, since I was defeated by you, they have admired you very much. Ye Xiao's words seemed very appropriate, and he didn't regard Xingyan as an outsider at all.
"I'm just a normal person. Xingyan smiled and shook his head.
The two said a few words, and when they reappeared, they had already come to the bustling city, and at this time, there were a few more young people on both sides of Xingyan, and a few people were talking and laughing, and praised from time to time, most of which said that Xingyan could marry such a talented girl as Ye Lanyin, but Xingyan smiled awkwardly.
"Brother Ye Xiao, let's go and make waves?"
After walking for a long time, a few people suddenly passed by a red area, the scene was very fragrant, and a young man couldn't help but look at Ye Xiao and asked.
Ye Xiao hurriedly stopped and refused: "Xingyan is a family person now, so he said that he would just play a regular game today." β
Xingyan exhaled, pretending not to hear each other, his eyes always admiring the neighborhood.
Soon, Ye Xiao came over, patted Xing Yan on the shoulder and asked, "By the way, Xing Yan, we are not hungry now, why don't we go to the auction to see?"
"I don't think there's anything missing. Xingyan shook his head.
But Ye Xiao smiled and said, "You are not lacking, but it will be Lanyin's cousin's coming-of-age ceremony in a few days, and we are not ready to give any gifts, so you shouldn't have thought about it, right?"
"Need a gift for a coming-of-age ceremony?" Xingyan was slightly stunned, he really didn't know that there was such a thing, after all, his own coming-of-age ceremony was not so grand, he remembered that only Cai'er rewarded him with an inferior elixir.
"Don't pretend to be stupid, the coming-of-age ceremony is very important, not to mention the coming-of-age ceremony of Cousin Lanyin, plus you are a ...... How can you say that, fiancΓ©, yes, as a fiancΓ©, the gift you give is estimated to be better than ours, otherwise the young people of the Ye family will definitely look down on you. β
