Steward Nian looked at Li Xuanji in disbelief, he couldn't believe this fact!

"Uncle Nian, Uncle Nian, still can't you recognize me?" Li Xuanji shook his hand in front of Steward Nian's eyes.

Steward Nian finally came back to his senses, and asked in an uncertain tone, "Are you really Gongzi Li?"

Li Xuanji spread his hands and smiled: "Can this still be fake? I'm not a big person, who will come to impersonate me? Didn't I tell you that I was old, I was actually eighteen years old, but I was sealed by my master at the beginning, so I was a teenager." Now that I have broken my master's seal, my body has naturally returned to its true form. ”

The Steward Nian circled around him twice before he finally believed this fact, but his surprise was even greater.

"You...... You've already entered the realm of metamorphosis?"

"Well, after returning to the division, I broke through by luck. Li Xuanji nodded and replied.

He didn't feel any surprise that his own realm could be seen by Steward Nian, because he knew that Steward Nian was not an ordinary person, but a master of cultivation, but his ability was not enough to see through the other party's cultivation realm.

Seeing him nodding, Steward Nian was shocked again.

After a long time, he nodded in amazement, and said to himself: "It's really terrifying! We are all old, and it should be the world of you young people in the future." ”

Li Xuanji smiled and did not answer.

The housekeeper suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted: "That's right, that's right, Gongzi Li, please come in quickly!" Gongzi came all the way, but the old man let the distinguished guest stand outside the door, if he let the old lady know, he would definitely be angry. It's really old and confused. Childe, please come in!"

Li Xuanji waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why should Uncle Nian be polite, isn't it said that it is a family, why should we be polite?"

"Yes, yes, it's a family!" Steward Nian also laughed.

"Ahh

Only then did the housekeeper notice that Li Xuan's machine was followed by a beautiful girl, and asked suspiciously, "......Who is this girl?"

Li Xuanji stepped aside, revealing Jin Ling and Xue Mang behind him, and introduced to him: "Uncle Nian, this is Jin Ling, a partner who accompanies me in training, and this white bear is called Xue Mang, and he is also my partner." ”

"Welcome Miss Jin to the Ling Mansion as a guest!" Steward Nian saluted Jin Ling and nodded to Xue Mang. However, when he looked at Li Xuanji again, his eyes were a little strange.

"Li Gongzi, Miss Jin, come into the house with the old man. Otherwise, Madame will blame me for neglecting your guests. The housekeeper raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation to the two, inviting again.

Li Xuanji nodded, and pulled Jin Ling into the General's Mansion together.

As soon as he entered the mansion, someone came to prepare to take away Xuemang, and set up a special residence for the spirit beast.

Li Xuanji whispered a few words to Xue Mang, and then said to Steward Nian with some embarrassment: "Uncle Nian, Xue Mang's appetite is much greater than that of ordinary bears. So hopefully you'll get some more food for it......"

"This is natural, Li Gongzi, please rest assured. How could we snub Childe's spirit beast?" Steward Nian agreed very simply. It's just that he doesn't know that Xue Mang's food expenses in the future have become one of his biggest headaches.

Walk through the expansive front yard of the General's Mansion and bypass several carved corridors and pavilions.

Li Xuanji looked at these familiar things and remembered the days when he first came. Compete with groups of spiritists in the wide front yard, face Gongsun Yuanjia and Qiu Yangde in Ling Cangyue's small courtyard, and then do Ling Cangyue's martial arts sparring in the side courtyard of the garden...... It seems that that period was the most interesting time I experienced from childhood to adulthood.

The three of them walked through several corridors and soon arrived at the reception hall.

"Li Gongzi and Miss Jin, please wait, I will go and invite Madame to come. Madame has been looking forward to you for a long time, and she would be glad to know that you have arrived. I think your current appearance will also surprise Madame!" Steward Nian smiled and bowed, exited the living room, and left quickly.

Li Xuanji and Jin Ling each found a seat and sat down. Li Xuanji was still a little nervous in his heart, while Jin Ling looked around, looking at the beautiful decorations in the room.

But after a cup of tea, the housekeeper has returned, and he also brought a person.

Walking in front of him was a dignified and quiet woman, with a soft body, high temples, a long skirt flowing, dancing with the wind, making people look at a kind of gentleness like water. This person is Madame Ling! But at this time, she walked a little hurriedly, and there was excitement on her face that could not be concealed, and she threw aside her original quiet and elegant temperament.

As soon as Mrs. Ling stepped into the guest hall, she was about to call Li Xuanji's name, but when she looked closely, she found that there were two strange men and women sitting in the guest hall, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

However, Mrs. Ling is also a person who has seen many big scenes, and she did not panic, but lifted her long skirt to regain her dignified and mature posture, and said to the two who had already stood up: "Welcome to the Ling Mansion, it really made you wait for a long time." I wonder what happened to the two of you when they came to the house?"

After Mrs. Ling finished speaking, she turned her head and glanced at the housekeeper next to her, as if she was asking where Li Xuanji was?

Li Xuanji stood up straight, bowed his head to Mrs. Ling, and shouted, "Aunt Yun, do you still recognize me?"

"You are ......" Sure enough, Mrs. Ling also failed to recognize Li Xuanji, who had grown up to be a young man.

Steward Nian felt much more comfortable, and stepped forward to Mrs. Ling and said, "Madam, this is Li Xuanji's son." It's just that this time he really grew up, he broke the seal on his body and really grew up. And now that's what he really looks like!"

"Huh?" Mrs. Ling was taken aback, looking at the handsome young man in front of her, she also looked incredulous.

Li Xuanji nodded affirmatively to Mrs. Ling in response to Steward Nian's explanation, and said, "Aunt Yun, what Steward Nian said is right, I am really Li Xuanji. Didn't I explain to you how old I was, and I am who I am now. ”

Li Xuanji took out the Qiankun bag in his arms as a certificate, and then roughly explained to Mrs. Ling the process of breaking the seal. It was only at this point that Mrs. Ling finally believed in this fact.

She carefully looked at the young Li Xuanji, and looked at his face, figure, and even hair and clothes very carefully. His eyes kept blinking, and his moist lips never closed, I don't know if it was because of surprise or surprise.

"Good, good!" Mrs. Ling paused and said three good words in a row before laughing.

"Xuanji, it's been less than four months since you left, but I didn't expect to see you again but it was a earth-shaking change. Originally, Aunt Yun thought that when she saw you again, she would still be the handsome young man, but now standing in front of her is a handsome young man, Aunt Yun is very surprised in her heart, but there is also a little regret. The surprise is because your growth has greatly exceeded Aunt Yun's imagination, and the regret is because Aunt Yun will never see the cute boy she used to be again. ”

Li Xuanji's face was a little embarrassed, and the novel defended: "Aunt Yun, you can't expect me to be a teenager for the rest of my life." You like it, but I don't like it......"

Mrs. Ling nodded, and smiled embarrassedly: "You're right, Aunt Yun can't be so selfish. ”

She looked at Li Xuanji again before shifting her gaze to Jin Ling, who looked curious next to her. Looking at her pink and lovely face and slender waist like water willows, I couldn't help but be stunned. After taking a closer look at the little bit of green charm hidden between her eyebrows, he was suddenly a little surprised: "What a beautiful little girl!

Li Xuanji shook his head, "Aunt Yun, her name is Jin Ling, and she is the partner I met when I went back to the mountain gate last time. Since she was the only one wandering alone and knew where her home was, I took her with me and let her follow me to practice. ”

"Oh. Madam Ling nodded and did not ask again, but changed the subject.

"Xuanji, you should already know the purpose of our invitation this time, right?

Hearing Mrs. Ling talk about this matter, Li Xuanji's face became serious. He took out the plea note from his bosom and put it on the table, "I came here this time to solve this matter. ”

He organized his language a little and said: "More than a month ago, my division suddenly received this letter from the General's Mansion asking for marriage, which said that I wanted to agree to marry your daughter Miss Ling, and that I would come to the General's Mansion to talk about it whether I agreed or not. I saw that this trace was written by Uncle Ling himself, so I felt that this matter was a little strange, and my elders decided to let me go out of the mountain to the general's mansion again, hoping that I could personally solve this matter satisfactorily. ”

"Oh, what's wrong?" Mrs. Ling looked at him with a smile and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this letter asking for relatives?" This is indeed written by your Uncle Ling, and it has also been agreed by me and Yue'er. So what's wrong with this? Could it be that you don't like my family and dislike her?"

Li Xuanji hurriedly stood up and waved his hand, "No, no! Miss Ling is a unique person in a thousand miles in terms of appearance, character, and cultivation qualifications, how could I dislike her? It's just that this incident came too suddenly, without any warning, which makes it hard for me to believe it. Although I have a friendship with Miss Ling, it has not come to this point, and this proposal post is too jerky, and it is not sincere. There are many things that don't make sense about this matter. ”

Madam Ling laughed, pressed her hand and asked him to sit down, "Don't be afraid, Aunt Yun is joking with you." This family affair did come too suddenly, and you can't be blamed for being suspicious. We have no choice but to do it. ”

"What do you say?" asked Li Xuanji in surprise.

Madam Ling sighed and said, "You don't know, on the day you left, an urgent war report from 100,000 miles of Hongyan sent a message into the palace, reporting that Fengyun Pass, the main city of the front line at the junction of our Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Departure Kingdom, was once again attacked by the heavy troops of the Great Li Dynasty, and dozens of small cities around it had fallen into the hands of the enemy. The other party is menacing, and it is obvious that he has been prepared for a long time, which may indicate the coming of a new round of dynastic hegemony war!"

"What?" Li Xuanji was taken aback.

"Our Great Zhou has already become empty and fragile because of the turmoil of the regime and the resistance to aggression for many years. Now that it has once again encountered foreign invasions, the huge pyramid of the Great Zhou Dynasty is in danger of falling into ruin! The high-ranking officials and nobles of the dynasty have begun to show signs of instability, and they may split and rebel at any time. The Great Zhou Dynasty is already in the midst of internal and external troubles! At this critical time, Your Majesty hopes to use your Uncle Ling's prestige and strength to stabilize the turbulent situation of the country as much as possible. ”

"And the best way to achieve this is naturally marriage!"
