Chapter 654: Don't Let Us Down
In the quiet Zhiqiao Palace, there is no hustle and bustle of Chinese New Year's Eve, there is only the sadness and desolation of these clansmen.
Chu Xiyan sat on the steps, with the dishes and chopsticks that had been eaten cleanly, and today was the simplest Chinese New Year's Eve meal he had ever eaten in his life.
In the distance, the fireworks in the central capital are still blooming, and the people are still in the joy of the New Year.
Chu Xiyan didn't eavesdrop on the conversation between the two in the house, he just enjoyed this short period of silence, and on weekdays, he didn't have so much time and energy to idle.
The door behind him suddenly opened, and Chu Wan'er took Qianxue's hand and walked out.
The two of them talked and laughed, which made Chu Xiyan wonder very much, when did their aunt and nephew have such a good relationship?
"After you go back, you have to eat well and take care of yourself..."Chu Wan'er said as she touched Qianxue's head.
"Don't worry, auntie, I will." Qianxue said with a sweet smile.
"And you, don't sit stupidly, hurry up and take Xue'er back, I tell you, you have to take care of Qianxue, if Qianxue has any mistakes, I hate you for the rest of my life." Chu Wan'er turned her head to look at Chu Xiyan, who was sitting on the steps in a daze.
Chu Xiyan stood up in wonder and replied, "Is she my daughter or your daughter, how can she be closer to you than me?"
Chu Wan'er and Chu Qianxue both laughed out loud after hearing this, aren't their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law the mother-in-law?
Chu Xiyan left with Qianxue, and when she left, Qianxue sent a message to Chu Wan'er and called her Mom.
This sound of mother directly broke Chu Wan'er's defense, her eyes were red and she waved goodbye to Qianxue, and when the courtyard door was closed and locked, tears flowed down her cheeks.
"What did you all talk about?" On the carriage back, Chu Xiyan asked curiously.
"I can't tell you the secret, I'll tell you when I can." Qianxue said with a sweet smile.
Chu Xiyan looked at her daughter who was in a better mood, and her heart moved, if you say when Qianxue smiled so happily, the last time was when he allowed her to see Daolin, and then this time.
On the way back, just after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, a new round of dense fireworks flew into the sky, bursting one ball of light after another in the air.
Qianxue couldn't help but open the curtains and look out, her face filled with a sweet smile.
"Daddy, it's so beautiful tonight." Qianxue turned her head to look at Chu Xiyan and said.
Chu Xiyan nodded, in fact, he couldn't accept letting her marry her daughter to someone her daughter didn't like, so he kept praying in his heart that Dao Lin could come early.
Back at the Duke's Palace, the Duchess had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw her husband and daughter coming back, she hurriedly greeted her, and then personally sent Qianxue back to the room, and only left after making sure that Qianxue was okay.
Blowing out the candles, Qianxue lay back on the bed, she hadn't slept well for a long time, and today with Chu Wan'er's enlightenment, she decided to take a good look at herself, not for anything else, just so that Dao Lin could see her perfect self when she came.
In Chu Xiyan's room, he and his wife sat on the bed and chatted.
"Are you saying that Sister Wan'er enlightened Xue'er?" Madame was a little surprised.
"Yes, I didn't hear what they were talking about, but Cher had noticeably changed before and after she came out." Chu Xi Yan replied.
….
Madame nodded, she also saw it, and went to the Zhicao Palace, and Qianxue seemed to have figured it out.
"What about Qianxue's marriage?" Madame asked with a sigh.
"What can I do... Who would dare not listen to Grandpa's orders..."Chu Xiyan also said bitterly.
"Then you can't push the girl into the fire pit." Madame leaned on Chu Xiyan's shoulder and said?
Chu Xi grabbed his wife and said, "Now I can only pin on that Dao Lin is good enough, so good that grandpa can change his life."
"How sure are you?" Madame asked, straightening up.
"I don't know, but from what I've learned about that kid, it should be thirty percent," Chu Xiyan said.
"Only three
Is it done?" Madame had a disappointed look on her face.
"A child from an ordinary family has a 30% chance of competing with the emperor's heir, which is not small." Chu Xiyan said.
"But what can Sancheng do? I can only prove to my grandfather that his choice is better." Madame's eyes turned red again as she spoke.
"Do you think Grandpa doesn't know about Dowling?" Chu Xiyan said suddenly.
"Grandpa knows?" Madame asked, stunned.
"How can everything that happened in the Sun Empire escape Grandpa's ears and eyes, besides, some time ago, Daolin also made some noises, these movements will definitely be known by Grandpa, and the reason why he still agreed to the marriage request of the Red Moon Empire is probably also a bitter one." Chu Xi said slowly.
"Bitter? What kind of problem is solved with your great-granddaughter?" Madame said displeased.
"Be careful when you speak, I don't need to tell you the story of the trouble." Chu Xiyan frowned.
"I'm not in a hurry—" Madame said, bowing her head.
"I think grandpa agreed to this marriage contract because he couldn't refuse Akatsuki, after all, on the surface, our Lieyang and Akatsuki are allies, if this kind of imperial royal marriage is rejected, it is likely to cause a break between the two empires, and it will be difficult to end at that time."
"So I guess that when we were expecting Dowling to come and grab the kiss quickly, Grandpa should also be waiting, maybe he is more anxious than us."
Madame nodded thoughtfully.
"So, the person who cracked this game is that Dowling? No, send someone to him and ask him to come quickly!" Madame grabbed Chu Xiyan's arm and said.
"Ah Ming has already been there, and he said before that he was not in Shangzhou County, but combined with the barbarians who migrated from the Linyuan Empire, it should not be difficult to speculate that Daolin should be in the Linyuan Empire." Chu Xiyan was silent for a moment and said.
"Barbarians? The alien migration has something to do with that kid, too?" Madame was shocked.
"Most likely, yes, because the saintess of the barbarians had a great relationship with Daolin before, and this time, the barbarians moved to the clan, and there should be a figure of Daolin behind it." Chu Xiyan nodded and said.
"This young man has so much energy?" Madame said in disbelief.
"That's why I said he has a 30% chance, as far as I know, there are already three Divine Realms gathered around him, as well as the Digital Creation Realm, and he also has a good family background and connections, this kid may not be as good as the Emperor's clan relatives, but he is much stronger than some big families." Chu Xiyan gave full affirmation.
….
"I hope he doesn't let us down..."
Listening to Madame's words, Chu Xiyan took a deep breath, and he repeated Madame's words in his heart.
Don't let us down...
…………………………
In a hurry, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Daolin and his party finally rushed back to Shangzhou County.
Everyone was excited about Dowling's appearance, and they hugged Dowling one by one to express their concern for Dowling.
Dowling was also excited to reminisce with them about how much he wanted to be with these brothers and sisters when he was cultivating in the dark world, and now it has finally come true.
They were also shocked by Dao Lin's cultivation improvement, but they also felt sorry for him when they heard that Dao Lin had spent one hundred and sixty-six years to get to this point.
"Qianxue's matter, I think everyone knows about it, I know everyone is definitely going to go, but I'm afraid this trip won't be too simple." Dowling said with a solemn expression.
"What are you afraid of, we are just going to attend Qianxue's engagement ceremony, not to make trouble, they have no reason to do anything to us." Su Chen said with a smile.
"Well, if I start to fight with them, don't be impulsive, just watch." Dowling nodded and said.
"Let's talk about it then, in case you don't hold back!" Taishi Xingwei walked over and patted Dao Lin on the shoulder and said.
Dowling looked at their smiling faces, and his heart was also moved.
"Do the math
There's still a month to go, and if I go full throttle, I should be in time." Something suddenly occurred to Dowling, and his gaze was due north.
"Where are you going?" Taishi Xingwei asked.
"I'm going to meet someone, someone who is worthy of the ancestors of the first family." Dowling said in a deep voice.
"Could it be—" Quit remembered who he was talking about.
Dowling nodded and said, "Although he can't leave there, he can send out a letter, which may also change the mind of the Sun Emperor."
"Then you go and come back quickly, we think we will leave in the near future, and when the time comes, we will not wait for you, we will meet in Zhongdu." Taishi Xingwei nodded and said.
"Good!" After Dowling repaired a little, he set off directly, and he couldn't delay this matter.
A streamer of light left directly from the sky above Shangzhou County, and the target was directly aimed at the Hewu Mountain Range.
With Daolin's current cultivation, if he moves forward at full speed, he can reach the original three-month journey in three days, and then he will go to Zhongdu again, it should only take a week, relatively speaking, the time is still more than enough.
There was nothing to say all the way, and it took Dao Lin three days to finally arrive at the Hewu Mountain Range, and he didn't go to meet Leng Yan, but went directly to the nameless hill that Dao Fang told him.
Then from the cave he entered the underground river and followed the river east to find the entrance.
"Ancestor! Dowling asks to see you!" Dowling's voice pierced the entire mountain with the blessing of True Qi.
Suddenly, his feet were empty, and Dowling slid down the slide, I have to say that the slide is similar to a slide, this thing knows no age, whoever sits on it is happy.
Passing through the corridor, Dowling pushed open the stone door, and when he came to this space again, he still felt something.
….
"Why are you here? Didn't you say it last time? Isn't it a matter of life and death to stop bothering me?" The old man's voice came, and Chu Tianlu suddenly appeared in front of Dao Lin, and this speed could already be called teleportation.
"Ancestor, what are you?" Dowling did not answer the question of the first heavenly road, but asked about the situation of the first heavenly road.
At this time, Chu Tianlu looked much older than two years ago, but according to his "General Xuanming Gong" Dacheng, he should not age so fast.
"Something to say." Chu Tianlu also did not answer Dowling's question.
"Didn't I pass by here and bring you something?" With a smile on his face, Dowling pulled out a large wooden barrel and a row of wine gourds.
Seeing the wine gourd, Chu Tianlu's cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, and the allure of the wine could be described as invincible.
"This barrel is full of fine wine?" Chu Tianlu's eyes burned as he looked at the barrel.
"Ancestor, this thing is more precious than wine." Dowling said with a smile.
"Oh? What is it?" Chu Tianlu pulled out the wooden barrel stopper as he spoke, and then leaned over to smell it.
"What is this? Whitewater? Are you here to tease the old man?" Chu Tianlu asked unhappily.
Dowling smiled and handed over a glass of water and said, "You taste it first."
Looking at Dowling's unfathomable expression, Chu Tianlu took the water cup, scooped up a glass of water and took a sip, just one sip, his pupils contracted suddenly, and then Gu Dong Gu Dong drank the water in the cup.
"What kind of water is this? How can it have such an effect?" Chu Tianlu looked at Dowling in shock and asked.
"This is the divine water I discovered by accident, it has the dual effect of healing and restoring true qi, how about it, is this thing better than that fine wine?" Dowling said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I need this thing just right, and with it, I can hold on for a little longer." Chu Tianlu said with satisfaction.
"Persistence? Stick to what?" Dowling asked puzzled.
Chu Tianlu knew that he had missed his mouth, so he scratched his loose hair with some embarrassment.
"Is there something wrong? Can I help?" Dowling looked at Chu Tianlu's embarrassed expression and asked.
Chu Tianlu looked at Dao Lin for a while and said, "You kid, this cultivation realm has improved fast enough, and I haven't seen you for two years
I have broken through to the Divine Harmony Realm, maybe this is the fate arrangement."
Dowling knew that Chu Tianlu was going to tell him some obscure things, so he didn't interrupt him.
"The reason why you come back when you are in a life-and-death crisis is because most of my energy is spent suppressing something, or a catastrophe." Chu Tianlu said as he looked back at the stone platform.
"The reason why I have sealed myself here is because there is an ancient fierce beast sealed under this stone platform."
Dao Lin was also shocked when he heard this, he naturally knew what it was, it was simply the source of the disaster, he was different from other ancient beasts or ancient beasts, as long as it was in the world, it would definitely bring a terrifying disaster, and no one knew what the specific disaster was.
"From your expression, you can see that you still know a little about the calf, and you should know its dangers, but unfortunately, there is a calvehole sealed here, and it is a fern in its heyday."
"It has been sealed here for thousands of years, and I chose this place because the old man who passed on my exercises told me in the dark, and he asked me to suppress it here."
Dao Lin's brows furrowed when he heard this, Chu Tianlu may not know who the old man is, but he does know it clearly, that old man is the doppelganger of the demon god, and now he is still sealed in the dragon domain of the void.
"Did the old man say why he sealed this head? Presumably, with that person's strength, he should be able to kill it directly, so why not kill it to prevent future trouble?" Dowling asked the doubts in his heart.
Chu Tianlu was silent for a moment and said, "What I understand is that the reason why that old man didn't kill the one was because he seemed to still need it, but it wasn't time to let it come out yet."
"Because it's a paid chapter, the number of words can't be reduced after it's released, and it affects the viewing, I'm sorry."
