Chapter Seventy-Three: Chapter 3 of the Covenant
Since that day in the uninhabited realm and Lishuyu unhappily dispersed, Huan Yi's mood has been very bad, the immortal attendants in the Kunyang Hall noticed that the master's mood was worse than a few days ago, and they couldn't help but be all worried and walking on thin ice, especially those who were responsible for serving tea and pouring water and grinding paper, and even had already been mentally prepared to be swept out of the house at any time.
No one knew why the originally calm and steady prince of the Heavenly Palace suddenly became moody, and no one dared to touch the tiger's buttocks, so the news spread ten or ten hundreds, and the news that the prince Huan Yi was stimulated and changed his temperament spread far and wide, and unconsciously spread in the Heavenly Palace. Therefore, when the "moody" Royal Highness the Prince stepped into the gate of Zixiao Palace, all the Dao children of Zixiao Palace led by Qiu Chen were shocked into a cold sweat, threw away the broom barrel used for cleaning, and knelt neatly in a row in the courtyard.
This naturally also includes Lishuyu, who is full of resistance.
"Get up. Huan Yi's gaze passed over Li Shuyu's face a few times, and asked the great fairy child Qiuchen condescendingly: "Zixiao Zhenjun is there?"
Qiuchen was excited, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Highness, Zhenjun is in the Dan room, and there is a furnace of Jindan open today." ”
Huan Yi nodded and ordered, "Take me over." ”
Qiuchen hurriedly got up, bent down and saluted, and obediently led the way for Huan Yi.
Seeing the backs of Huan Yi and the brothers disappear from the courtyard, Li Shuyu couldn't help but sneer, she was still holding grudges about the events of the previous days, so she was naturally too lazy to watch the excitement, so she simply threw away the broom and went back to her own small courtyard.
Li Shuyu's courtyard is located in the southwest corner of Zixiao Palace, separated by a long distance from the courtyard where the other brothers live, and it is an independent small courtyard. At the beginning, Zixiao Zhenjun considered that Li Shuyu was a girl, and was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to live with her brothers and sisters, so he made up an excuse to place her here alone. The yard is very small, there is a stone table in the middle, and there is a plane tree in the corner that is not tall or short, and there is a delicate and gorgeous small swing hanging on the tree, which is exactly what Qifeng specially made for Lishuyu before.
Sitting down on the swing, Li Shuyu took out the marriage jade in her arms, carefully examined every texture of it, and stroked it back and forth with great love, her fingertips were her familiar heat, and her heart could sense the resonance of Qifeng's soul and her soul, and her chest was filled with satisfaction and stability that she had never had.
"What are you snickering at alone?"
Zixiao Zhenjun's warm voice came from the courtyard gate, Li Shuyu's heart jumped, and he hurriedly took the marriage jade back into his arms, got up and pretended to be calm and said, "It's nothing...... Master, why are you here?"
Her movements are so obvious that anyone with a little sharpness can guess what she is hiding, but fortunately, Zixiao Zhenjun is not a person who likes to get to the bottom of things, he pretended not to see it, walked in front of Li Shuyu, and said in a harmonious voice: "Today, His Royal Highness Huan Yi came down to find a teacher, saying that Qishan was about to hold a fire bathing ceremony, and he received an invitation to watch the ceremony, and ordered the teacher to go with him." ”
Huan Yi has been studying abroad for many years, and he does not have frequent contacts with the immortal officials of the Heavenly Palace, let alone the low-key Zixiao Zhenjun. Today he came to invite Zixiao Zhenjun to watch the ceremony with him, obviously the drunkard's intention was not to drink, there was only one Li Shuyu in Zixiao Palace who was related to Qifeng, and the person he really wanted to invite was self-evident.
Li Shuyu couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement when she heard the fire ceremony, she and Qi Feng have known and fallen in love for several years, but she has never seen Qi Feng's real body, Qi Feng wants to turn into a prototype to lead the sky to fire on this day, the scene is absolutely magnificent and magnificent, she can't help but tremble with excitement just thinking about it. So she immediately put her resentment against Huan Yi behind her, and asked Zixiao Zhenjun with an expectant face, "Can Master take me with you?"
"Naturally. Zixiao Zhenjun smiled, he raised his hand and patted Li Shuyu's little brain, and said helplessly: "But we want to have three chapters of the law." First, you must not go it alone. ”
Li Shuyu nodded like pounding garlic: "No problem!"
Of course she will not leave Zixiao Zhenjun's side, Qishan is the territory of the Feng clan, she has the Qifeng Divine Seal on her eyebrows, if she doesn't pay attention, she will be discovered, she doesn't want to leave Zixiao Zhenjun's protective umbrella.
"Second, the sky is extremely hot, if you can't bear it, you must immediately enter the no-man's land of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take refuge. ”
Li Shuyu couldn't agree to this request immediately, she didn't leave any happy memories in the no-man's land, as soon as she entered, she would remember Huan Yi's bad words that day, she couldn't hide, how could she want to go in again.
Seeing that Li Shuyu was silent, Zixiao Zhenjun raised his eyebrows slightly, no wonder Huan Yi wanted to take a detour to invite Li Shuyu on the grounds of inviting him, and the estrangement between the two seemed to be not light. Inviting Li Shuyu was explained by Huan Yi, and Zixiao Zhenjun couldn't disobey it, so he could only take out the master's posture and pretend to be angry: "If you don't agree, I won't take you with me." ”
"Agreed!" Li Shuyu immediately raised his head and said nervously: "The apprentices all listen to the master!"
Zixiao Zhenjun nodded in satisfaction and said the third request: "Third, after this ceremony, no matter what news the Feng Clan announces to the Three Realms, you must obediently come back with your teacher." ”
The news that the Feng Clan would announce to the Three Realms Li Shuyu had already heard Qi Xinchen say it, so he was not surprised, and responded very simply. Seeing her so simply, Zixiao Zhenjun was a little uneasy, he intuitively felt that Li Shuyu's understanding should have a lot of deviation from his own, but it was not easy to talk in detail, only to confirm it again, seeing that Li Shuyu was determined, he had to sigh lightly and choose to hide it temporarily.
After the fire ceremony, the Feng clan will definitely have a number of great phoenixes who have ascended to immortals, if there are female immortals among these phoenixes, then the next hostess of the pilgrimage palace should be settled. Qi Xinchen didn't say anything about this matter, Zixiao Zhenjun couldn't bear to say it, Huan Yi didn't dare to say it, and the simple Lishuyu happily went back to the room to pack up her things, never thinking about what kind of blow was waiting for her.
Thousands of miles away in Qishan, the protagonist of this fire ceremony is bathing and cleaning himself in the Tianchi on the top of the mountain, different from Li Shuyu's joyful expectations, Qi Feng is independent of the center of the pool at the moment, his snow-white slender body is shining with divine light, his long ink-colored hair is floating with the water waves, his handsome face is covered with dark clouds, his thin lips are pursed, his eyebrows are frowned, and his whole body is shrouded in the cold and gloom of the bones.
When he returned to Qishan that day, he reported the sleeveless matter to his father Qi Kuan without reservation, and Qi Kuan did not ask him why he did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but asked him: "Wu'er, now the family wants to take the life of the sleeveless, and the crowd is so angry that you let it go, have you thought about how to remedy it?"
Qi Feng lowered his head and said respectfully: "The child doesn't know, ask his father for guidance." ”
"When you and Huang'er were adults, your father once led the heavenly fire to salute you, and this time you arbitrarily let go of the sleeveless, so you also led the heavenly fire once to help those juniors in the clan to be promoted, and the right to remedy it. ”
It is not easy to lead the heavenly fire, but it is not difficult for Qi Feng, who has cultivated deeply, he nodded and responded to Qi Kuan, thinking about how to inform him of the existence of Li Shuyu, and listened to Qi Kuan say: "After this ceremony, the father can really hand over Qishan to you." ”
Qi Feng's face turned pale like snow in an instant, and he knelt down in front of Qi Kuan, and said categorically, "The child doesn't want to." ”
"Don't want to?" Qi Kuan sneered, walked down the steps of the main hall to Qi Feng, bent down and asked in a low voice: "Father heard some rumors, you seem to have raised an unknown fairy outside?"
Qi Kuan's words were like a poisonous snake slowly crawling up Qi Feng's neck from his back, strangling him and locking him, making him shudder. He raised his head to meet his father's eyes full of rebuke and scrutiny, and finally realized that Jiang was still old and spicy, and it seemed that wanting to usher Lishuyu to Qishan was far from being as simple as he thought.
"Nope. Qi Feng suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "I don't know where my father got the rumors." ”
"Do you remember that you once ordered the craftsmen of the clan to secretly make a flying feather coat? There is no impermeable wall in the world, and those craftsmen are not dumb. Qi Kuan straightened up, returned to the main seat in the hall and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "After this fire ceremony, if any woman in the clan succeeds in promotion, your marriage will be decided." ”
Qi Feng laughed directly: "What if the child doesn't want to?"
"Then the father can only cut off your thoughts, and make you have to wish. ”
At this point, Qi Feng knew that it was useless to say more, the most important thing at the moment was to ensure the safety of Lishuyu, he was not sure whether the fairy in Qi Kuan's mouth was Lishuyu, and he couldn't afford to take this risk, so he could only hold back his stomach and choose to be patient for the time being.
Leaving the main hall of the Pilgrimage Palace, Qi Feng subconsciously wanted to go to Zixiao Palace, and told Li Shuyu that the three-day appointment was suspended, and he would leave Qishan after completing the fire ceremony, and take her to the human world to see the green mountains and the sea of snow, and no longer ask about the pilgrimage palace.
"Brother!"
The woman's laughter, which was as crisp as a silver bell, came from afar, and Qi Feng's scalp tingled for a while, and she subconsciously cast a spell and teleported back to her palace. When the owner of the voice saw that he disappeared in a blink of an eye, he stamped his feet in anger and complained loudly: "Brother, why do you always avoid me!"
"It's not because you're stalking and pestering, and your behavior is out of words. ”
The man who followed the woman sneered a few times, raised his hand to grab the woman who wanted to chase after the Qifeng Palace, and said a little irritably: "Don't chase, the more you do this, the more he annoys you." ”
It was Qi Xinchen who spoke, and this noisy woman was Qi Feng's cousin Zhu Xiang, who had just returned from the withdrawal of the clansmen, and were thinking about going to Qi Kuan to return some details of the withdrawal, when they saw Qi Feng rushing out of the hall in a rage, and even the ends of his hair unconsciously turned red due to anger.
"The elder brother must have had an argument with the patriarch. Zhu Xiang's eyes were full of worry, and he said unwillingly: "No, I'm going to take a look." ”
"Look at what!" Qi Xinchen pulled her back and said sharply: "You don't have the token of your brother's palace, and you will be closed when you go." ”
"You just go with me!" Zhu Xiang grabbed Qi Xinchen with his backhand, not allowing him to refuse: "Go now!"
Qi Xinchen naturally wouldn't do this kind of thing to please Qi Feng, he pushed Zhu Xiang away with force, and said with a sneer: "I know what you are thinking, now that the marriage contract between my brother and Luolin is invalid, the fairies in the clan are all like you, thinking that they can replace him." For your mother's sake, I kindly remind you once, don't provoke your brother, it won't end well. ”
"Why? Just because he had an unknown concubine outside?"
Xu was angry, Zhu Xiang was a little unscrupulous, she opened her mouth and scolded the resentment in her chest, but after seeing Qi Xinchen's ice-like eyes, she was instantly silenced, realizing that she had said the wrong thing.
"Where did you hear that?" Qi Xinchen's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Who else knows?"
Zhu Xiang immediately shook his head and denied it: "I don't know!"
"You'd better not know. Qi Xinchen bowed down to her ear, gritted his teeth and said, "Take care of your mouth, otherwise if it reaches my brother's ears, my uncle won't be able to protect you." ”
