Chapter Seventy-Nine: Night Talk
Lin Yu looked at the sound of Hua Yuqiu walking into Hua's house, he knew that as long as he saw Hua Yuqiu, half of the success would be achieved, and the remaining half would rely on Lin Yu's soft grinding and hard bubbles.
Xia Qingran left the Hua family, and whether the Xia family was still protected by the Hua family in Jiangnan City became the focus of suspicion of many families in the west of Jiangnan City. If the Hua family ignores it, the Xia family may not live for half a month, and it will be divided up by many surrounding families.
Ten years ago, the Xia family was able to escape from Jiangnan City because of a strong man's broken wrist. And the strength is only weaker now than it was ten years ago.
The weakest family master in Jiangnan City is also at the peak of the Gathering Star Realm, while Xia Lianfeng is only at the middle level of the Gathering Star Realm.
Now that Lin Yu has said all the good things, and even said the marriage contract, Hua Yuqiu relented to protect the Xia family for Lin Yu.
Outside Jiangnan City, when they first met, Lin Yu already knew that the person he met back then was actually from a top family in Jiangnan, and his identity was still the second lady of the Hua family.
With Hua Yuqiu's identity and status, as long as the Hua family doesn't want the Xia family to perish, who in the west of Jiangnan City dares to go against Hua Yuqiu's meaning?
Hua Yuqiu is not unconditional, and this condition is also simple for Lin Yu, as long as Lin Yu admits that it doesn't mean anything to Xia Qingran.
Of course, Lin Yu immediately agreed, after all, he even regretted the marriage contract.
However, who knows whether the feelings are true or false? Lin Yu himself felt that he was just saying that.
......
When Lin Yu returned to the Ye family, Ye Muge and the others were still waiting for him, and it was not too late.
Old Lady Ye, Ye Muge, and Xia Qingran were all sitting on the edge of the round table, while Ye Heqi stood beside Old Lady Ye and didn't seem to have the idea of eating together.
"Boy Lin, where have you been?" Old lady Ye didn't see Lin Yu's figure all afternoon.
Lin Yu sat down with a smile, but did not respond, but said, "Old lady, there have never been so many people in the family, right?" ”
Old Lady Ye nodded, in previous years, there were only two people, he and Ye Muge, and it would only take a moment to eat. And with Ye Muge's temperament, the two will not talk about anything. One question and one answer is to end the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner very quickly, and the content is nothing more than related to practice.
"It's a bit lively." Seeing that there were many people, Mrs. Ye seemed to be a little happier, and she finally had some New Year's atmosphere.
"Uncle Heqi, you also sit, it's all a family." Lin Yu beckoned Ye Heqi to sit down, but Ye Heqi smiled and excused himself.
"Let you sit, grind and chirp." After all, it was Old Lady Ye who spoke effectively, Ye Heqi sat on Lin Yu's left hand, and Xia Qingran was next to Lin Yu's right hand.
Because of the daytime, there was some awkwardness between the two. Lin Yu peeked at Xia Qingran's expression, and was relieved to see that there was nothing unusual.
"Lin boy, do you like Xia Yatou?" Old Lady Ye drank a few glasses of white wine, her face was very red, and she pointed to the two of them and said.
Seeing this, Lin Yu picked up the wine jug and filled Old Lady Ye's wine glass again, and without waiting for Lin Yu to respond, he continued: "It's not too young, Muge looks twenty years old, but he hasn't seen me bring back a great-grandson." ”
"I think back then, your father and mother gave birth to you a long time ago at your age. The size of a palm, it's still with a handle, and I'm happy when I see it. There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. Tomorrow, you hurry up and find one for me, as long as it is the seed of my old Ye family, give birth to ten or eight ......"
Ye Muge looked at his grandfather's small half pot of wine, and the wine gradually rose, so he had to say, "Grandpa, you are drunk." ”
Lin Yu and the three of them snickered on the side, watching Ye Muge being trained, Lin Yu couldn't be too happy.
"Don't talk, listen to grandpa. Tell grandpa, do you like the girl of the Shen family? Old Lady Ye approached Ye Muge and said.
"No problem, tomorrow grandpa will propose you to ......"
......
It was already midnight when Old Lady Ye had settled down, and in a few moments, gorgeous flowers would bloom in the night sky.
At this time of year, it is always the most lively time in heaven and earth, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and wishing the coming year peace.
The snow had stopped, and Lin Yu and Ye Muge were standing outside the house, looking at the starry sky. In the past six months, they have experienced too much, from the coast of the East China Sea to the city of Jiangnan, and even the most top families in Jiangnan are enemies.
Of course, they also gained a lot, the Dragon God Fruit, the Dragon Clan's Secret Technique, and the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword, each of which was born alone was enough to shock the world.
"Where are you going next?" Ye Muge asked, he knew that Lin Yu's ultimate goal would definitely be to set foot in the Hanging Mirror Palace again, but there must be many things to do before that.
"Zhongzhou." Lin Yu thought about it, he had never set foot in Zhongzhou, a state comparable to the Northern Regions.
On the Sifang Continent, the territory is vast, and it is divided into five regions due to some death zones, or the barrier of the demon clan's ruling area, especially Zhongzhou and the Northern Regions.
Jiangnan is located in the easternmost part of the Sifang Continent, near the East China Sea. The northern region is located in the extreme north of the mainland, because the north is cold, unlike the south of the Yangtze River, where villages are connected to villages, and cities are separated by cities. However, the territory of the Northern Regions is also three times that of Jiangnan, which is comparable to Zhongzhou, the most central part of the Sifang Continent.
Lin Yu went on this trip to find the secrets of the dragon clan ten thousand years ago. This is the clue that the stele spirit once told him, and the ten thousand years of sleep have also made him lose a lot of memories, but he knows that Zhongzhou, the most prosperous state in the Sifang Continent, must be able to find some truth.
"Shall I go with you?" Ye Muge said that his concern for people has always been simple and direct.
Lin Yu patted Ye Muge's shoulder and said, "I want you to do me a favor and send someone to Tianliang City." ”
Lin Yu was talking about Chen Xiaopi in the East China Sea fishing village, and he still remembered that he promised Chen Hai and his wife to take Chen Xiaopi to practice. Although I don't know if the couple has changed their minds now, as long as they speak, Lin Yu will not refuse.
There are many sword courtyards in Tianliang City, as long as Ye Muge can go, for the sake of Ye Muge's face, the sword courtyard will also take care of Chen Xiaopi.
Ye Muge went back to the room, Lin Yu had a feeling of loneliness for the first time, he had never had this kind of emotion since Lin Yu's parents disappeared, so he had always felt that all this was irrelevant.
But tonight, watching Old Lady Ye's various counts on Ye Muge, Lin Yu seemed to have some ripples in his heart.
"My father and mother, are you alive or dead?" Lin Yu was very helpless, he had never seen such an irresponsible father and mother leave their young children to play and disappear.
It seems that Xia Qingran's parents also disappeared at that time. Maybe there's a connection.
But Xia Qingran is not like Lin Yu, an "unfilial son", she has been thinking about how to find her parents, but she has no trace at all. Xia Liancheng seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and he was nowhere to be found.
Knock knock.
Xia Qingran opened the window, and only Lin Yu would greet her like this in the past few days. I don't know what's going on at such a late hour, haven't you laughed enough during the day? Xia Qingran thought to herself, her eyes cold and full of wariness.
Lin Yu knew at a glance that Xia Qingran had misunderstood.
"I went to the Hua family in the afternoon, and the second lady of the Hua family assured me that the Xia family would be fine." Lin Yu said. "So, you can stay in the Ye family all the time."
Xia Qingran stared at Lin Yu and didn't say a word, she just didn't know what to say.
"Flower Yuqiu?"
"yes, yes."
"Why is she helping you?"
Lin Yu thought about it, Xia Qingran's problem was still a little difficult. "I said she coveted my beauty, do you believe it or not?"
Xia Qingran looked at the shameless Lin Yu, and scolded in his heart: This scoundrel. But he said, "Faith." She knew that she could unabashedly throw herself into Lin Yu's arms at the foot of the Eight Faces Mountain, and there must be a story between the two.
Lin Yu didn't expect Xia Qingran to respond like this.
"So what did you promise her?" Xia Qingran asked.
Lin Yu carried Xia Qingran on his back, supported the windowsill with both hands, and sat on the windowsill with all his might.
"It's nothing, when I met Hua Yuqiu, she wasn't called Hua Yuqiu. Only once I saved her. ”
"You often save people?" Xia Qingran asked, thought for a moment, and added a few more words, "Stranger." ”
"Sort it out." Lin Yu thought about it, and it could be regarded as immeasurable merit. "Speaking of which, I have to save people from life and death more than the old monk in the temple."
"However, I have killed a lot of people, so it can only be regarded as equal in merit and demerit." Lin Yu said leisurely, in the mission of the Hanging Mirror Palace, the vast majority of the people who need to be driven by him are bandits that are difficult to exterminate, ranging from a hundred to a thousand.
Xia Qingran looked at Lin Yu's side face, and didn't know why a teenager of his age would say such a thing. Could it be that he really killed a lot of people? In the realm of returning to the ruins, I didn't see his cruel methods to people.
"Kill one, save a hundred. Do you kill or not? Lin Yu asked suddenly.
"Don't kill." Xia Qingran's tone was extremely firm.
"A thousand?" Lin Yu asked again.
"Don't kill." Xia Qingran still replied immediately.
"What about 10,000 people?" Lin Yu asked for the third time.
"Don't kill ......" At this time, Xia Qingran's voice was not so firm.
"100,000 people." Lin Yu asked for the fourth time.
Xia Qingran didn't answer, just shook her head simply, but her silence already indicated her answer.
100,000 people is almost the population of the entire Donghai county, kill one person and save a city, kill or not?
"Do you know why I was expelled from the Hanging Mirror Palace?" Lin Yu said.
Xia Qingran shook his head, and Lin Yu continued: "Once, I saved a person, but for this person, thousands of cultivators died. The disciples of the Hanging Mirror Palace also died a lot. The price of thousands of people for one person is very heavy. ”
"However, I always thought I had done nothing wrong."
Both were silent, and perhaps no one could really judge whether they were right or wrong.
Boom, boom, boom.
Bursts of colorful fireworks burst into the night sky, like stars of all colors entering the world. The two looked at the sky at the same time, and the atmosphere was no longer so sad.
At this moment, everyone looks at the colors of the sky and makes a wish.
Lin Yu did the same, clasping his hands together and closing his eyes. For the first time, he believed in such ethereal wishes.
"I hope that the world is peaceful."
