In late autumn, the cold air gradually becomes heavier, and the residual leaves of the branches have been scattered, leaving only the dead branches and lonely pestles standing in the wind. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info However, after the beginning of winter, the weather warms up, and the sun seems to be blazing again. It's just that the fallen leaves that are sadly spread all over the ground clearly tell people that winter has come.

Ethereal Peak.

On the large square at the top of the peak, Duanmu Xuan stood alone in the sun and thought. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, and he was looking north. It seems that under the sky thousands of miles away, there is a person he cares for in his heart.

It's just that person, who is it?

An Ethereal Peak disciple walked closer, saluted Duanmu Xuan, and said respectfully, "Senior brother, the head master asked you to go to his study."

"Well, I know, you can go", Duanmu Xuan waved his hand to the visitor without looking back.

The disciple who passed the word went immediately, and after Duanmu Xuan paused for a moment, he finally walked away slowly.

The wind swept through this large square full of people, but it always felt a little lonely.

Passing through the winding corridor, walking through the courtyard in front of the ethereal peak, and finally arriving at the ethereal study.

The courtyard was silent, unusually quiet. There were only two serving disciples standing outside the door, it seemed that this was an ordinary peasant courtyard, but who would have thought that this was the study room of the first sect force today, the Ethereal Peak.

Walking closer, the disciples who accompanied him hurriedly bowed to Duanmu Xuan and said, "Senior brother, you are here, and the master is waiting for you."

"Hmm", Duanmu Xuan nodded, pushed the door and walked in.

The door is hidden, and the furnishings are relatively simple, but the objects are extremely luxurious. A man in his fifties was standing with his back to the doorway, dressed in a black robe embroidered with gold trim. Although there was a hint of an easy-going smile on his face, he was not angry and arrogant, obviously a perennial figure in power, it was Duanmu Jing, the uncle of Duanmu Xuan, who was now in charge of the Ethereal Peak.

At this moment, Duanmu Jing is standing in front of the window and quietly looking outside, this study is built at the highest position of the entire Ethereal Peak, and everything is in full view as far as the eye can see, giving people a feeling of being above all things.

Duanmu Jing seems to be very affected by this feeling. He was smiling, his expression was relaxed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Duanmu Xuan gently pushed the door in, stood still behind Duanmu Jing, and bowed very respectfully, saying, "Uncle, I'm here, I don't know what you're looking for me?"

Duanmu Jing turned his head and looked at his nephew, the future successor of the Ethereal Peak, and nodded unconsciously, the look on his face was very satisfied. He waved his hand, motioned for Duanmu Xuan to sit down, smiled on his face, and asked, "Xuan'er, during the martial arts rookie meeting last month, there was a woman named Luo Qingxue from Luoxue Valley, have you seen it?"

Duanmu Xuan hurriedly replied: "Uncle, Luoxue Valley is a martial arts family on the same level as our Ethereal Peak, so during this martial arts rookie meeting, I specially invited Luo Qingyu, the young valley master of Luoxue Valley, to watch the ceremony, and also gave him some gifts." As for Luo Qingxue, naturally I've seen it."

"Well, Xuan'er, you did a good job......", Duanmu Jing smiled with satisfaction. Immediately, he asked again: "Xuan'er, since you have seen Luo Qingxue, what do you think of her person?"

Duanmu Xuan didn't know what his uncle meant by asking for a while, but he still replied: "Luo Qingxue is cold and arrogant, and she is called the second immortal with my Ethereal Peak Murong Yan Senior Sister, and her martial arts are also comparable to Murong Senior Sister, as far as women are concerned, whether it is appearance, martial arts, or life background, it is definitely the best."

Duanmu Jing nodded, and changed the topic: "Xuan'er, you are twenty-six this year, right?"

Duanmu Xuan nodded and said, "Just twenty-six."

Duanmu Jing sighed lightly and smiled: "At your age, if you were in an ordinary farmer's family, I am afraid that you would have already married and started a family, and maybe you might even have children." It's only because you are the future successor of our Ethereal Peak, and you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, that you are still unmarried. I have delayed you for so many years, and my uncle is ashamed of you!"

Duanmu Xuan hurriedly shook his head, and said righteously: "Uncle, what you said really tormented me. Why is the big husband without a wife, the first thing I want to think about now is how to carry forward our Ethereal Peak, in order to make progress and go further. As for the personal affairs of personal children, they are really insignificant compared to the great cause of this family."

"Okay, that's a good ......", Duanmu Jing sighed, looked at Duanmu Xuan with a smile, looked at it for a long time, only to see that Duanmu Xuan's heart was hairy, and he couldn't sit still, so he was about to stand up, so he waved his hand and said lightly: "Xuan'er, if you are asked to marry Luo Qingxue as your wife, are you willing?"

Duanmu Xuan jumped up from the chair all of a sudden, only to feel his heart pounding, looked at Duanmu Jing, and asked excitedly, "Uncle, what you said is true"?

Duanmu Jing saw that he was so excited, obviously his nephew was extremely fond of Luo Qingxue, and nodded with a smile, and said, "Xuan'er, how could my uncle lie to you." As you said, it is important to carry forward my Ethereal Peak, but it can't always delay your lifelong events, isn't it? Luo Qingxue and you, from the family background, are well-matched, and personally, they are talented and beautiful. In short, no matter what you look at, the two of you are a natural match. Besides, if the two of you get married, it means that the two largest forces on the rivers and lakes today will become a family from now on. Therefore, in public and private, this marriage is all beneficial and harmless."

He said a lot of words in one breath, paused, and asked knowingly, "Xuan'er, I don't know if you want to"?

"Willing, I'm willing, very willing, too willing, I'm ......", because he was too excited, Duanmu Xuan said four in a row. However, he suddenly thought of all the rumors about Luo Qingxue on the rivers and lakes over the years, and suddenly withered a lot, calmed down, and said: "Uncle, even if I am willing, I don't know if Luo Qingxue himself is willing." I heard that there are not a few people who have gone to Luoxue Valley to propose marriage over the years, but they have all been rejected by her. Also, the last time Luo Qingxue came to our Ethereal Peak, I wanted to give her something to get acquainted with, but she rejected it, so this is ......."

Duanmu Jing looked confident and comforted: "Xuan'er, don't worry." Marriage has always been the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. Regardless of whether Luo Qingxue is willing or not, as long as Luo Wenbin and Luo Qingyu's father and son are willing. Do you think, if you can have a son-in-law who is the head of the Ethereal Peak, what does this mean to Luoxue Valley, will the Luo family's father and son not be clear in their hearts? Besides, even if Luo Qingxue is really the proud daughter of the sky, with your identity, you can definitely afford to climb high. So, if you go to Luoxue Valley to propose to Luo Qingxue, I promise that you will never be refused."

Although Duanmu Xuan was already overjoyed, he couldn't wait to rush to Luoxue Valley immediately, but his mind was still calm, and he was still a little uneasy for a while, and hesitated: "Uncle, even if the situation is really as you expected. But...... But how can I go alone?"

Duanmu Jing suddenly smiled and said, "Xuan'er, don't worry, everything is wrapped up in uncle." In this way, you go and prepare, and in three days you will go with me to the valley of the falling snow to give the dowry."

"Yes, I'm going to prepare for ......", Duanmu Xuan was like hearing the sound of immortals, and he couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart at all, and ran out in three steps and two steps.

Maybe he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, so that he walked a little lightly, if it weren't for Duanmu Jing, he would have the urge to jump up now.

With Duanmu Xuan's city government, in fact, he would not have been like this, but his performance at the moment was ......

It can be seen from this that Luo Qingxue has such weight in his heart.

Duanmu Jing squinted slightly, looking at Duanmu Xuan's excited back, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help revealing a faint sneer. After a while, he looked back at the window again, and gradually, there was no longer the slightest smile on his face, and there was even a hint of mockery in his eyes.

There was silence for a while, as if he was thinking about something, but what was he pondering at the moment?

Nobody knows.

No one knew what Duanmu Jing was thinking at the moment. Perhaps, there are many things that are not as simple as they seem.

"Ah......h

Because he was so excited, Duanmu Xuan, who came out of the Zhangjiao study, roared directly at the valley under the Ethereal Peak. After a long while, it eased the flood of thoughts in my heart for a while.

Immediately, he looked at the direction of the Falling Snow Valley in the north from a distance, and said to himself categorically: "Luo Qingxue, I must get you, I must get you in this life." No matter what way, no matter what means, no matter what the cost, I must get you. Even if it is to turn the world upside down, I will not hesitate to do it."

The flowing clouds passing through the sky brought the mountain wind in the distance, blowing the branches that had lost their leaves to make a whining sound, and also blowing Duanmu Xuan's clothes rattling.

Somehow, the faint wind seemed to have a hint of mockery, mocking the paranoid and self-righteous people in the world.
