Zhong Wen returned to the courtyard of the Floating Flower Palace with the vegetable basket, and what he saw was a joyful atmosphere of reunion.

Nangong Lingzheng was surrounded by everyone in the Floating Flower Palace, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, she held Xiao Loli's hand, and talked to Lin Zhiyun, Liu Qiqi, Yin Ning'er and Qiao Erniang, with a warm smile on her face, which was very different from the temperament of Zhong Wenshi under the mountain.

The woman in Tsing Yi who followed Nangong Ling up the mountain stood far away, watching coldly, without saying a word.

On the other side of the courtyard, Ning Fuzi and Ning Jie's grandson were whispering, and the old man's dark face revealed a thick melancholy.

Zhong Wen couldn't bear to disturb Lin Zhiyun and the others' reunion after a long absence, so he came to Old Master Ning's side and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Old Ning and Sister Ning on their reunion." ”

"Thank you, little brother. "Ning Fuzi still has a good impression of Zhong Wen.

"Brother Zhong. When Ning Jie saw Zhong Wen, she was first overjoyed, and then her eyes dimmed again.

"Sister Ning has something on her mind?" Zhong Wen couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Zhong, my grandfather and I originally wanted to go to a meeting of theology and literature, but now we have taken the wrong path, and we want to rush to the sea within two days, but it is too late anyway. Ning Jie said with a little regret, "From here to Qinghai Province, you need to go around a big circle, and it will take at least eight or nine days to travel at a normal speed." ”

"Can't you just go straight behind this Qingfeng Mountain?" Zhong Wen asked again, "I remember that the palace master's sister once said that going straight along the back mountain of Qingfeng Mountain is the direction of Qinghai Province. ”

"I have also observed the terrain of Qingfeng Mountain in the past two days, and if I want to climb the back mountain, it will take at least two days, even if my grandfather can walk in the air, he will not be able to last that long. Ning Jie shook her head.

The words "stepping into the air" were heard in Zhong Wen's ears, and he trembled all over.

This is a means that only the strong of the Spirit Venerable have.

Looking at the dark-skinned and inconspicuous old man in front of him, Zhong Wen was secretly glad that Shicai did not make any rude actions at the foot of the mountain.

"Now, unless the saint personally goes out on the horse, or borrows the vulture mount of the 'Phantom Beast Sect', we don't have to think about this discussion. Old Master Ning couldn't help but sigh and said, "Girl, don't blame yourself too much, grandpa is also responsible, he was too involved in reading books, and he didn't notice that you were separated." ”

The old and the young all put on a bitter gourd face, and Zhong Wen couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Hearing the word "vulture", Zhong Wen suddenly had a spiritual move, and remembered the giant eagle in the back mountain.

"Elder Ning, Sister Ning, things may not have turned around, I have an idea to try. He comforted softly, "When we are done, I'll take you somewhere, and if he agrees to help, maybe you'll be able to catch up." ”

"Really, thank you, Brother Zhong. When Ning Jie heard this, her eyes lit up with a light of hope, and her slender jade hand grabbed Zhong Wen's arm, revealing a trace of excitement in her tone.

"Brother Lao is bothered. Ning Fuzi didn't have much hope, but saw that his precious granddaughter was very close to Zhong Wen, and he was a little surprised in his heart.

In his impression, this beautiful granddaughter was devoted to love only divine literature, and after being arranged by him on several blind dates, she was more or less repulsive to young men.

Could it be ...... My granddaughter can finally get married?

He looked at Zhong Wen again, only to feel that the young man in front of him was quite handsome, and his personality and temper were also very good, although he looked young, but his strength was extraordinary, and the old man couldn't help but have a trace of hope in his heart.

In the past few years, his requirements for his grandson-in-law have dropped again and again, from a first-class figure with both civil and military skills, to now as long as he can meet Ning Jie and have the tools to create people, he has never been able to do so, Zhong Wen's performance has completely exceeded his expectations.

Zhong Wen didn't know what Ning Fuzi was thinking, he was delayed for a lot of time at the bottom of the mountain, he hurried to the kitchen to prepare lunch, but fortunately, Leng Wushuang came over to help very consciously, and with the tacit cooperation of the two, they finally rushed to the normal meal and brought all the dishes to the table.

At lunchtime, Nangong Ling saw the liveliness in the Floating Flower Palace now, in addition to Shangguan's aunt and nephew and Leng Wushuang, as well as Qiao Erniang and the four little girls, plus Shen Dazhu's grandson and Ning Fu's grandson and grandson, the two pairs of guests, the entire lobby was so crowded that it was almost impossible to sit down.

After a few mouthfuls of food, Nangong Ling couldn't help but sigh, and looked at Zhong Wen with a pair of eyes as clear as water: "I finally understand why Master left you on the mountain, to be able to make such a delicacy, don't say it's a man, even if it's a prisoner, I'm reluctant to let it go." ”

She had already confirmed Zhong Wen's identity from Lin Zhiyun.

"Sister Nangong has won the award. Zhong Wen said with a smile.

"Nangong?" Shangguan Junyi saw Nangong Ling for the first time, "Could it be that he is from the Nangong family?"

Lin Zhiyun hurriedly introduced the two, but saw that Shangguan Junyi's face was a little pale, and Shangguan Mingyue on the side showed an indignant look on her face.

"Shangguan?" Nangong Ling's heart moved, remembering some rumors back then.

"Who is Nangong Lin you?" Shangguan Junyi calmed down and asked slowly.

"Nangong Tianxing is my father, and Nangong Lin is my second uncle. Nangong Ling didn't hide it, but asked generously, "Elder Shangguan is the young lady of the Shangguan family who had a marriage contract with my second uncle back then?"

"How dare our family climb your Nangong family. Shangguan Mingyue saw that her aunt's face was getting more and more pale, and she couldn't help but say coldly.

The air in the lobby suddenly froze, and the unfriendly atmosphere on both sides was felt, and the unwitting melon-eating crowd did not dare to take a bite on the side.

"I'm sorry. Unexpectedly, Nangong Ling did not refute, but stood up, solemnly bent down and bowed, and said in a sincere tone, "The things of the year were not authentic for the Nangong family. ”

"Is a word of sorry enough?" Shangguan Mingyue didn't buy it, "If your family wants to get out of the marriage, you will get out of the marriage, why spread rumors and maliciously slander my aunt, do you know what my aunt has experienced over the years?"

"In Nangong Lin's eyes, whether it is Elder Shangguan or my niece, they are just tools, and for the sake of his reputation, what is it to sacrifice one or two tools. Nangong Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Don't say that Elder Shangguan is my Nangong Ling, I'm afraid that I will soon be sent to Xiao Wuru's bed by them and become the link of alliance between the two families." ”

"What!Ling'er, are you going to marry Xiao Wuru?" Lin Zhiyun was taken aback when she heard this.

"Master, when Nangong Tianxing wrote a letter to lie that he was seriously ill, he wanted to trick me into going back and getting married. Nangong Ling's words carried a hint of bitterness, "Relying on some cleverness, I barely shirked it a few times, but I was able to hide from the first year of junior high school, and I couldn't hide from the fifteenth after all, I think Nangong Tianxing is mostly iron-hearted this time, and he is going to marry the Xiao family." ”

"It's really a causal cycle..."Shangguan Mingyue still had to make a mockery.

"Don't say it, Yue'er. Shangguan Junyi interrupted her niece's words, and her face recovered slightly, "What Miss Nangong said is not wrong, a woman born in a wealthy family is involuntarily, and what happened back then was done by Nangong Lin, and it has nothing to do with her." ”

Shangguan Mingyue pursed her lips and stopped talking, but she was not relieved in her heart.

"Sister Shangguan, do you like this Xiao Ruthless?" Zhong Wen suddenly interjected.

"He raised a whole group of women, and at least one-third of the ladies in the imperial capital had some ambiguous relationship with him. A trace of disdain flashed in Nangong Ling's eyes, "Do you think I'll like him?"

"If you don't like it, don't marry. Zhong Wen said lightly, "Why bother?"

"It's hard to disobey my father's fate, if Nangong Tianxing really wants me to marry Xiao Wuru, if I resist death, wouldn't it be unfilial?" Nangong Ling bit his lip lightly, "The wealthy family is like this, and the marriage of the children cannot be decided by themselves." ”

"It's really ridiculous, the matter of men and women, the emphasis is on the pleasure of the two people. Zhong Wen comes from the Internet era, and the concept of free love has long been ingrained, "If you want to be filial to your parents, take good care of it, marriage is your own business, of course, you should make your own decisions." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was moved, and their eyes were full of shock when they looked at Zhong Wen, as if he had said something rebellious.

Only Liu Qiqi's eyes were full of praise when he looked at him, and Leng Wushuang, Yin Ning'er and Xiao Lori had no concept of the affairs of the family, and they didn't think Zhong Wen's words were shocking.

"Zhong Wen, you are still young, and you are not from a wealthy family. Lin Zhiyun thought that this was the concept of marriage in ancient times, and was worried that he would expose his identity, so she covered up for him while making a look, "You still don't understand many things in the world today." ”

"Sister Palace Master, it's you who don't understand. Zhong Wen pretended not to see her hint, "Parents raise their children hard, and when their parents are old and frail, their children should take care of them, which is filial piety, but it is not for the sake of their parents' own selfishness, and sacrifice their children's lifelong happiness." ”

"It's just that you think like this, but you can't change the world. Nangong Ling knew the imperial power and the way of the family, and thought that what Zhong Wen said was just wishful thinking.

"There are thousands of people in the world, and it is difficult to reconcile all people, how can it be that everyone thinks the same way. Zhong Wen's voice became more and more firm, "The reason why my sister feels that it is difficult to change the minds of others is just because you are not strong enough, if you are a saint, and see if the Nangong family dares to force you to marry?"

"Naturally, I don't dare. Nangong Ling said calmly, "But how many saints can there be in the world?"

"All of you here are cultivators. Zhong Wen continued, "Zhong Wen dared to ask, what are you cultivating so hard?"

This soul question made the people in the lobby fall into deep thought.

"It's nothing more than to gain great power, and the reason why you need strength is not to control your own life?" Zhong Wen's voice became louder and louder, "If it weren't for the sake of gaining great freedom and freedom, then I would advise you to stop cultivating such meaningless things as early!"

At this moment, whether it was Lin Zhiyun, Nangong Ling, or Shangguan Junyi, Shangguan Mingyue, they all had a feeling of being in the head, and they only felt a trace of enlightenment in their hearts, as if they had been answered by Zhong Wen a long-thinking question.

Ning Jie looked at Zhong Wen, who was generously speaking, and her eyes exuded an indescribable dazzling brilliance.

What a young man who knows everything in the world!

Ning Fuzi cheered in his heart.

This kid is a threat.

The woman in Tsing Yi sat quietly on the side, her eyes shining coldly.
