Hearing this, Ning Que looked at Sang Sang, who was cooking on a fire in the backyard, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said: "To be honest, until now I still feel that there is a sense of absurdity in this whole thing, I watched her grow from a little girl to a little girl now, I know that there is something special about her, but I really didn't expect it to be so special, so special that it can actually alarm the Xiling Temple." ”

Cheng Lixue said: "Senior Sister Sangsang is an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary, but since Haotian Tong Guò Bright Divine Throne's hand chose her, then from that moment on, she is no longer ordinary, and we will definitely inherit Haotian's will and take her back to the temple." ”

"I don't like to hear the word must be this and the tone of ......"

Ning Que looked at the teacup in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Because it will make me feel that you are threatening me, and it will make me feel that you are trying to snatch her away from me." ”

Cheng Lixue looked at him quietly and said, "You can understand it from other angles. ”

Ning Que slurped. The cold remnant tea said with a slight sneer: "Since you must bring her back to the temple, then how else can I understand? If I don't agree, will you stop there?" ”

Cheng Lixue shook her head: "The Bright Divine Throne can't be ownerless all year round. ”

Ning Que put down the teacup, looked into his eyes and asked, "If I insist on disagreeing, what will the temple do?"

Cheng Lixue heard the strong meaning in his words, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "You should know very well what the Bright Divine Throne means to the entire Haotian Dao Gate and to the Xiling Divine Temple. ”

"I'm not very clear. Ning Que still stared at his eyes and asked, "Even if you don't hesitate to fight?"

Cheng Lixue looked at him with a smile, did not flinch, and said calmly: "If the heir of the Bright Divine Throne is exiled elsewhere in the world, then the Divine Temple will not hesitate to bleed the whole world and find her back."

Ning Que said: "Since you also said that it is another place, then you and the big people in the temple must know very well that Sang Sang is now in Chang'an, by my side." ”

Cheng Lixue was silent for a moment and said, "So I'm here to invite Senior Sister Sangsang back." ”

"Please write something nice. ”

Ning Que said, "But I want to confirm how determined the temple is. ”

Cheng Lixue frowned slightly, looked at him and said, "Do you want to know if the temple will declare war on the Tang Dynasty because of this matter?

Ning Que thought of the bloody storm in Chang'an City many years ago, and remembered General Xiahou, who was still alive and well, and was silent for a long time, then he shook his head and said: "The empire and the academy will naturally not go to war with the temple because of a little girl, but if you really want to forcibly take her away from me, then I can clearly tell you that the empire and the academy will definitely be involved in this war." ”

Cheng Lixue's face was slightly cold, and it was only at this time that he realized that in Ning Que's heart, Senior Sister Sangsang did not seem to be as simple as a little maid who had been with her for many years, and it was only at this time that he discovered that Ning Que really had the determination and ruthlessness to let the flood flood flood over the world for the sake of Senior Sister Sangsang.

"Why would the Tang Dynasty and the Academy go to war with the Temple for your arrogance?" he reprimanded sternly: "Master and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty are shameless people like you who do not hesitate to cause chaos in the world for your own selfish desires?"

Ning Que's expression remained unchanged, he looked at him and said, "Don't forget my identity, if that day really comes, I have enough ways to pull the academy and the empire into this troubled water." ”

There was silence in the old pen room.

Cheng Lixue looked at him and smiled bitterly and said: "Why can't you imagine this matter better? Senior Sister Sangsang went to Xiling, not to be a prisoner, nor to suffer, on the contrary, she would receive the most perfect education from Haotian Daomen, and she would become the most noble Divine Seat of Light on Peach Mountain." Whether it's for Datang, for the academy, or for you, this matter is not harmful, so why should there be a war between us?"

It's really for her own selfish desires, that's why she doesn't want Sang Sang to go to the Xiling Temple, so she doesn't want Sang Sang to become a great priest of light, so you want her to serve herself for the rest of her life?

Ning Que looked at the remnants of tea in the cup and fell into a long silence.

Then he suddenly looked up and said, "Let me think again." ”

Cheng Lixue looked at his eyes and said seriously: "It is impossible for the Heavenly Oracle Divine Throne to stay in Chang'an City for a long time, I hope you can think about it seriously, instead of fooling me with the excuse of thinking." ”

That night, Ning Que took Sang Sang to the University Scholar's Mansion.

Mrs. Zeng Jing looked at her daughter, who she hadn't seen for several days, and was overjoyed, took her hand and entered the back house, leaving the quiet study to Ning Que and Zeng Jing.

"What do you think about this, my lord?"

Ning Que asked seriously. He wanted to find some spiritual support from the other party's expression, such as the parents' reluctance to give up their daughter, but the next moment he found that it was wishful thinking.

Zeng Jing's face was indeed a little reluctant, but more of it was the confusion after excitement and extreme surprise, for the Haotian believers in the world, even the people of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly found that their daughter might become the Great Priest of Light of the Xiling Temple, they would think that it was a supreme glory.

"I'm wondering if I should go back the year after

Speaking of the rebuilding of the ancestral hall, it is that this regulation must also be greatly revised, although there is no clear provision in the Tang law, but according to the old example of the Xiling great priest who came out more than 100 years ago in Qinghe County, my Zeng family ancestral hall can be compared to the prince's regulation. ”

Zeng Jing's face was full of brilliance, and his voice trembled slightly: "This is still in my Tang Dynasty, the imperial power is supreme, if it is in the Southern Jin Dynasty or the Song Kingdom, it can even be rebuilt according to the imperial system, Mr. Thirteen, how can you say that I have such a great blessing in this life?"

Suddenly, he noticed Ning Que's silence, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "Gaffe, gaffe, but it's better than the patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe County earlier ago, it is rumored that after the news of Xiling's selection of the great priest returned to Qinghe County that year, the patriarch was overly surprised and turned into a fool." ”

Ning Que smiled slightly and said, "Be the Great Priest of Xiling...... Is it really that good?"

Zeng Jing was stunned, his face was full of surprise, and he thought to himself that you are the master's personal disciple, how could you ask such a ridiculous and even somewhat mentally retarded question.

For the world, being able to become the great priest of Xiling is a more perfect thing than being an emperor, which is not good, what other good things are there in the world?

Zeng Jing suddenly woke up, looked at him a little incredulously and said, "You don't want Sangsang to go to Xiling?"

Ning Que was silent for a long time and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I haven't thought about it." ”

Zeng Jing said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Thirteen saved the little girl from misery, I am very grateful for the care over the years, and I also know that the relationship between you and the little girl is not an ordinary master-servant relationship, but this matter, please sir, you think about it a lot, and you must not make a decision at will." ”

Ning Que was silent.

Zeng Jing thought of a possibility, but felt that it was unlikely, pulled the beard under his chin and hesitated for a long time, suppressed the voice and said tentatively: "I heard that the canon can't help but marry a wife or a man. ”

Ning Que Huo Ran raised his head, looked at him and asked, "Really?"

Zeng Jing looked at his suddenly bright eyes, and was startled, thinking to himself if his wife's usual guess was true?

Thinking that the speculation might be true, Zeng Jing suddenly forgot the fact that Ning Que was a student on the second floor of the academy, and subconsciously picked up the shelf of the elders, frowned and asked, "If Sangsang doesn't go to Xiling, how is Mr. Thirteen going to settle my poor daughter in the future?"

Ning Que didn't notice the change in the other party's expression, and said, "When she is over sixteen, I will marry her." ”

Zeng Jing's fingers shook his beard, and his beard fell out of three roots.

He was about to wait for the other party to speak, and then he had a good argument, but he didn't expect that Ning Que would not hesitate or cover it up, so he said that he wanted to marry Sang Sang as his wife!

"Wife?"

Zeng Jing asked in a slightly trembling voice.

Ning Que shook his head.

Zeng Jing was slightly angry.

Ning Que shook his head and said, "Of course it's positive, is it still crooked." ”

Zeng Jing was much more relaxed, and asked with a smile, "Is it a concubine?"

Ning Que said bitterly: "I think, do you think it's possible?"

Zeng Jing's smile became more and more authoritative, his daughter may marry the master's personal disciple as his wife, and the other party also promised not to accept concubines, so in the future, it seems that it is not too regrettable not to be the great priest of Xiling.

"In this case, whether Sangsang goes to Xiling or not is up to you. ”

Scholar Zeng Jing has always been a very decisive person, otherwise after Sangsang was killed by his wife, even if there was pressure from the queen's mother, it would be impossible for him to directly divorce his wife and kill the slave with the prestige of the surname of Qinghe County.

So when he heard Ning Que's words, after thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of the two options for a while, he didn't hesitate to take his husband and wife out of this matter and threw all the pressure on Ning Que.

Ning Que said bitterly: "Shouldn't this kind of thing be discussed by everyone?"

Zeng Jing stroked her slightly aching chin, shook her head and said, "Sang Sang is still on Mr.'s household registration now, and you have deep feelings, and you are reasonable, and this matter should also be decided by Mr. ”

Ning Que suddenly discovered that this future father-in-law was really not a foolish character.

Zeng Jing looked at him and sneered and thought, don't think that you are a student on the second floor of the academy, so you can fool the old man to refuse the request of the Xiling Temple.

The night is getting deeper.

Mrs. Zeng Jing walked out of the back house with Sang Sang, her face full of reluctance.

Zeng Jing pulled his wife aside and whispered a few words, Mrs. Zeng Jing covered her mouth and was slightly startled, and when she looked at Ning Que again, her eyes were very different from before, and she loved it to the extreme.

"Thinking that in the future, Mr. You'll come to the house often, so I ordered someone to vacate a room in the back house. ”

Mrs. Zeng Jing looked at Ning Que and said with a smile: "Why don't you rest here tonight." ”

Ning Que suddenly felt that he had entered the world of chatting and fasting, and he had the urge to run away.

"There's one more important thing to do later. ”

He stood up and asked Sangsang to spend more time with his parents in the Bachelor's Mansion tonight, and then left the Bachelor's Mansion.

He went to Chunfeng Pavilion Heng 2nd Street.

Chao Xiaoshu's house is on this street.
