024, the Clan Heroes Festival
The main courtyard of the house, the study.
When Bi Xia rushed to the main courtyard from the back mountain, the sunset was already blurred in the sky, after being reported by the guards of the courtyard, under the leadership of the maid who led the way, he walked through the half-moon arch, and after a while, he saw the quaint study room that sat in the north and faced south, and the green bamboo everywhere behind the house.
As soon as Bi Xia's eyes swept over the green bamboo behind the house, the voice of the head of the family, Bi Changde, came from the study.
"Come in. ”
Hearing Bi Changde's words, Bi Xia's heart sank slightly, and after the maid opened the door of the study, the expression on her face became extremely respectful, and she slowly crossed the threshold and appeared in Bi Changde's study.
"Bi Xia, I have seen the head of the family. ”
As soon as Bi Xia crossed the threshold, he saw Bi Changde sitting behind the bookcase, holding a gilded invitation in his hand, as if he hadn't noticed her, focusing on the content of the invitation in his hand.
Bi Changde ignored her, obviously intentionally.
Bi Xia saluted Bi Changde, his waist was half bent and his face was demure, and he kept saluting without the slightest complaint, but he had some guesses in his heart.
Bi Changde deliberately ignored her, could it be that he knew that she was going to escape, so he warned her with this? But thinking that Bi Changde was the head of the Bi family, Bi Xia secretly denied it in his heart, as the head of the family, if he realized that he had the intention of escaping from the Bi family, he would have already sent someone to take care of him, how could he have time to summon her, just to exert pressure.
So...... What did Bi Changde call her over for today?
After another half an hour, I don't know if Bi Changde finished studying the invitation in his hand, or remembered Bi Xia who was waiting in the study, only to see that his face was slightly gloomy, and after looking at Bi Xia with eyes like electricity, he opened his mouth coldly.
"Get up. ”
After hearing the three short words, Bi Xia stood up straight and said respectfully: "Bi Xia has thanked the head of the family for his grace." ”
Just when Bi Xia's mind was highly tense, Bi Changde's face suddenly sank, and he suddenly spoke.
"Do you know that the head of the family called you here today, but for what?"
Bi Xia didn't know, and asked the head of the family to make it clear. Bi Xia shook his head blankly, but his heart suddenly rose to his throat, for fear of hearing about the marriage from Bi Changde's mouth.
Bi Xia stood respectfully in front of the bookcase, her demure appearance attracted Bi Changde to look at her several times, and the look full of critical gaze made Bi Xia feel like a man's back, although he was vigilant in his heart, the expression on his face became more and more respectful.
Seeing that Bi Xia was so in awe of himself, the expression on Bi Changde's face softened, but his eyes became sharper, staring at Bi Xia with a sense of oppression.
"The head of the family asked you, in the past few days in Tianlang Mountain, except for seeing the head of the Cen family in the pavilion, have you ever seen her again after that?"
Although Bi Changde's face was relaxed, it seemed to Bi Xia that there was still too much majesty permeating it, and under the spiritual pressure of the foundation building period that he dispersed, when she heard Bi Changde talk about the head of the Cen family, her face couldn't help but show a touch of surprise.
Isn't it for the sake of marriage to call her to the study?
Although he had some doubts about this in his heart, Bi Xia answered quickly.
"Lord Hui Qi, since he came out of the pavilion that day, Bi Xia has been following the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder, and after that, he has never seen the heads of the Family again. ”
Seeing that Bi Xia's dazed expression didn't seem to be fake, Bi Changde's eyebrows could almost kill a mosquito, and secretly said that he was too suspicious, but when his eyes touched the gilded invitation in his hand, the suspicious look in his eyes couldn't help but become deeper.
And when he was silent again, the corner of Bi Xia's eyes also swept over the invitation card in his hand, and after a little analysis in his heart, he linked the reason why Bi Changde summoned him with the gilded invitation.
So—
What was the origin of that invitation? If her guess in her heart was true, how could she have anything to do with her, so that Bi Changde did not hesitate to spend a transmission note to directly summon himself to the study of the main courtyard?
When Bi Xia was pondering the invitation, Bi Changde's eyes became more and more strange, and he raised his hand and threw the invitation directly at her.
"This invitation card for the clan grand event was issued to you by the head of the Cen family, take it. ”
The golden light pierced into the bottom of his eyes, Bi Xia reached out with two fingers and held it firmly in his hand, and after opening it and taking a closer look, surprise suddenly appeared on his white and delicate face, and when he was moved in his heart, he was already nervous.
"My lord, Bi Xia is a side lineage, and his cultivation is not more than the second layer of condensation, and the clan hero event held this year ...... How can there be Bixia?"
Not to mention that Bi Xia was surprised and puzzled, even Bi Changde was depressed for a long time.
I thought that on Tianlang Mountain, Bi Xia climbed up to the head of the Cen family, but seeing Bi Xia's expression, he didn't know that Bi Xia didn't know the head of the Cen family at all.
Since Bi Xia didn't know the head of the Cen family, why did the other party send an invitation to an outcast?
You must know that in the past, the grand event of the clan held after the Tianlang Secret Realm could only be participated in by the descendants of the major Xiuzhen families in the southern country.
Now Bi Xia will receive an invitation post, which has to make Bi Changde feel very strange.
Could it be...... Did the head of the Cen family take a fancy to Bi Xia?
No matter how much speculation there was in his heart, Bi Changde knew that now that the invitation post was sent to Bi Xia, Bi Xia would have to follow his daughter Bi Luo to Tailing City the day after tomorrow.
"Since you are in this clan event, then you will set off with Luo'er the day after tomorrow, and she will take you to Tailing City together. Bi Changde paused, waved his hand and said, "Now you can go back." ”
As soon as he heard that he could leave, Bi Xia's eyes lit up and he said goodbye to Bi Changde.
Bi Xia retired. ”
When Bi Xia left Bi Changde's study, the burning clouds in the sky seemed to burn in her eyes like endless hope, which made her heart rise with joy.
This invitation post came at a really good time, as long as she could follow Bi Luo to leave the Bi family, it meant that her chances of leaving the Bi family were infinitely magnified.
With joy in his heart, when Bi Xia returned to the disciple's courtyard, it was relaxed.
But just as she was about to walk into the gate of the East Courtyard, Bi Luo's voice came from behind her, clear and cold, like a basin of cold water to extinguish the fire of hope in her heart.
"I didn't expect that your ability is quite great, and it is just enough to lure your cousin to beg your father to marry you to him, but you can still hook up with the head of the Cen family and make an exception to give you an invitation, look at your mood is so relaxed and happy, do you think Miss Ben will really take you to Tailing City?"
What the?!
Yan Yuze courted a marriage match?!
Bi Luo didn't take her to Tailing City with her?!
Bi Xia's heart was shocked, and he suddenly turned to look at Bi Luo, who was plainly dressed and arrogant, and the joy and joy in his heart were gone, only the sky was gloomy.
"Eldest lady is saying that my marriage with my cousin is that my cousin went to ask the head of the family in person?" Bi Xia looked at Bi Luo and said word by word.
Sensing that Bi Xia's breath instantly became disordered and restless, Bi Luo's eyebrows flashed with doubts, but immediately thought of something, she twisted her eyebrows and sneered.
"Pretend, Miss Ben won't take you to Tailing City, you're still dead!"
