Chapter Twenty-Three: The One Who Lives for the Expectations of Others
Outside the city of Hengyang, mysterious canyon.
"Damn, you decided my marriage quietly, and if I hadn't found out, I wouldn't have even been notified. Ling Xiyue kneaded Xiaobai into a meat ball and threw it out hard, if it weren't for her father who made the decision, she would have demolished the City Lord's Mansion a long time ago.
"It's weird. Jiang Ming said.
"Weird, why is her father so anxious to marry his daughter to you? "I've met quite a few people like this. β
He has seen many such things between big forces, and I don't know how many people or forces want to sacrifice a daughter to win him over, and the means of exerting pressure from the people can only be said to be average.
"My dad wouldn't be like that, forget it, maybe it is. Ling Xiyue instinctively wanted to refute, but thinking that now was not the time to speak for him, forget it.
Jiang Ming said: "I don't think that's the case. β
Ling Xiyue said, "Then what do you think is the reason?"
Jiang Ming said: "Even if it is to sacrifice his daughter to win over others, then the other party must agree! If the other party is unwilling to marry, then what's the use of building momentum?"
"You mean, you still don't look down on me? What's wrong with me, I'm gentle and virtuous, and the country is beautiful, am I still wronged by marrying me?" Ling Xiyue was like an angry lioness.
Jiang Ming ignored Ling Xiyue's evaluation of herself, and responded indifferently: "A normal man would not refuse such a great thing......
"That's pretty much it. Two red clouds rose on Ling Xiyue's cheeks.
"However, then you also have to ask me if I have a wife before deciding! You shouldn't say that your father doesn't even care if his daughter's husband is married in order to win over people!" Jiang Ming said.
Yun Xuan said: "This is true, it is impossible for the lord of a city to marry his daughter to someone who has already been married, are you ......?"
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that Jiang Ming was a person from a thousand years ago, although I didn't know the specific situation, but I thought that his family and friends should have been drowned in the long river of time. Even if there was before, now it has become nothing.
Ling Xiyue was a little nervous: "Could it be that you already have someone in mind?"
Jiang Ming replied, "There was once a Taoist couple. β
Ling Xiyue's face turned a little pale, but she still pretended to be calm: "That's it! β
After saying that, he ran to catch rabbits and play.
"Why don't you make it clear? There was one, but it doesn't mean that there is now. Yun asked in the end.
Jiang Ming asked rhetorically, "Is it necessary?"
Yun Xuan said: "Maybe you don't think it's necessary now, because you don't have an idea about her yet, and she doesn't have a sure idea of you." However, people's hearts always change. If you say no now, it's too late to regret it later. β
"You seem to have suffered a loss in this regard?" Jiang Ming said.
"The person we're talking about now is you. β
"It's the same when talking about everyone, you may have suffered losses in this area, so you don't want the people around you to repeat the mistakes and make the same mistakes as you, but you are not someone else after all, you never know what happened to others. β
Jiang Ming's tone gradually became cold, "You know that I came from a thousand years ago, so it is natural to think that my Daoist companion has been annihilated in the long river of time, but what you don't know is that my Daoist companion died at my hands. β
"Why are you ......?"
"Playthings, lost their minds. Immortal cultivators originally wanted to cut off the seven emotions and six desires, the more they liked it, the easier it was to corrode people's will, and the more they had to give it up, since she had caused an obstacle to my way of cultivating immortals, then I had to kill her. β
"It's the same as the truth, but you can only deceive children with such words. Yun Xuan sneered.
"How do you know I'm not telling the truth?"
"First, if you kill your lover for the sake of cultivating the path of immortals, then why do you want to switch to cultivating the martial arts? Even if it is to replace the position of the demon path, there is no need for you to abandon the path of immortals. Second, when you talk about "Taishang Forgetfulness", I am next to me, although I don't know what kind of exercise it is, but you should put down this exercise when you are still an immortal cultivator, if you are really as you said, you can kill your beloved to fix your heart, then why give up this exercise? Thirdββ"
Yun Xuan paused and showed a meaningful smile, "The Void Realm can manipulate the power of heaven and earth, I deliberately spread our voice in the direction of Ling Xiyue just now, but it was stopped by another force. β
Jiang Ming still refused to admit defeat: "That's because Ling Xiyue has been of great help to my plan, and I don't want to lose her trust because of this little thing." β
Yun Xuan sneered: "If this is the case, then you should try to marry her, as long as you are willing to use the reputation of the City Lord's Mansion as an excuse, it is easy to force her to submit, with this relationship, you are still worried about the big thing?"
Jiang Ming was silent, he still underestimated Yun Void, his grasp of people's hearts was too strong, and it was too difficult for him to lie to him, and he would get more things out of it.
Yun Xuan continued: "You said before that you don't need a servant to show that you don't want to hurt the free will of others, and now you have given up this God-given opportunity to achieve your goal, because you don't want to hurt others because of your use. Your heart is too soft to be able to achieve great things. β
Jiang Ming didn't refute, because what he said was too accurate.
"If you have a knot, then I can help you, I was your helper anyway, wasn't I?"
Jiang Ming said: "Your analysis is very correct, but there is only one thing that you didn't guess correctly, my lover was indeed killed by me, she begged me to kill her, and even threatened the lives of people in a city in order to prevent me from agreeing." In order to prevent her from dying incompletely, I even violated the rules of the sect and used the forbidden technique of the sect to scatter every wisp of her soul. β
Jiang Ming's voice was very soft, but in Yun Xu's ears, it was even colder than the cold wind of winter: "She, why did you do this?"
I don't know why, when I asked this sentence, a great fear rose in Yun Xuan's heart, as if he would invite disaster as long as he knew about it.
"Why?" Jiang Ming chuckled, "Didn't I already say it just now?"
He just said, no, what he just said is not true, my judgment will not be wrong, otherwise he would not have reacted like that.
Yun Xu's thoughts were a little confused, and suddenly, the scene of Win Jiu Ming handing over his Yuan Shen Seed to Jiang Ming appeared in his mind.
"A request in exchange for life...... I see, no wonder you want to switch to martial arts. Because you don't want to cultivate immortals at all, it's all just the expectations that outsiders have imposed on you! You've been living for the expectations of others. β
