Chapter 55: Expectations

Reception hall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at Luo Qingxue and Yang Xiaofeng, who walked in with Luo Qingyu, Duanmu Xuan had a painful look on his face, the hand hidden in his sleeve had already been clenched into a fist, and there was a trace of resentful killing intent in his eyes. However, when he saw Yang Xiaofeng's face clearly, he was shocked again, and said in surprise: "It's you"?

With just one glance, he immediately recognized this person as Li Feng, who had defeated Dongfang Ming at the martial arts rookie meeting last time.

"Xue'er, Feng'er, you come here ......", Luo Wenbin casually pointed to Duanmu Jing, who was sitting in the guest seat, and said: "This is the Taishan Beidou of today's martial arts, and the current leader of the righteous path of martial arts, the current leader of the martial arts Misty Peak, Duanmu Jingzhen, you two are not going to come over to meet Duanmu seniors."

He then pointed to Yang Xiaofeng and Luo Qingxue, and introduced: "Brother Duanmu, this is the little girl and the clumsy son-in-law."

Duanmu Jing looked Yang Xiaofeng up and down carefully, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Sure enough, she is a talented woman, and she looks really a good match."

Although Luo Wenbin had just asked Yang Xiaofeng and Luo Qingxue to come forward to meet Duanmu Jing, the two of them stood in place and did not move half a step, seeing this, Luo Wenbin had to smile and beckoned to the two of them, and said, "Feng'er, you two come here." Why, it's such a big person, I'm afraid that I won't be able to give birth."

In fact, Luo Qingxue is not afraid of life, she was extremely reluctant to come here with her eldest brother just now, then she will have the heart to come to see Duanmu Jing again, and immediately took Yang Xiaofeng's hand and said: "Wind, let's go."

As he spoke, he turned around and walked out directly, but he couldn't pull Yang Xiaofeng, and heard him whisper: "Ah Xue, don't."

Luo Qingxue was suddenly annoyed, and looked at him coldly.

Yang Xiaofeng shook his head secretly, and then forcibly pulled her forward, bowed slightly to Duanmu Jing, and saluted, but did not speak.

As for Luo Qingxue, she didn't even look at Duanmu's uncle and nephew.

Duanmu Jing was looking at Yang Xiaofeng, with a cloudy expression on his face, and he smiled reluctantly, and said: "It is indeed a talent, no wonder it can be favored by Miss Qingxue."

Then he turned his head and smiled faintly at Luo Wenbin, and said, "Congratulations to Brother Luo for having a good son-in-law."

Luo Wenbin shook his head and smiled: "Brother Duanmu said that, this kid is very ordinary, and there is nothing extraordinary. His marriage to Xiaonu was actually a baby kiss between him and Xiaoxue when he and Xiaoxue were not yet born, and his parents and I were married to the two of them."

"Oh, that's the case......", Duanmu Jingpi said with a smile: "I said, as a Qingxue girl, how can it be...... It turns out that there is such a reason, no wonder ......".

Luo Qingxue was already impatient to stand at the next head, and at this time she heard Duanmu Jing say this nonsense with unknown meaning, and she didn't feel a little angry, and glanced at Duanmu Jing coldly at the moment, and was about to have a seizure, but she felt that Yang Xiaofeng immediately pinched her hand, and had to temporarily suppress her anger for a while, looked at Luo Wenbin, and said, "Dad, if it's okay, then let's go down first."

"Well, it's a good ......", Luo Wenbin nodded, waved his hand to his daughter, and said, "Xue'er, Feng'er, in this case, you two should go back first."

In fact, there was no need for him to say it at all, Luo Qingxue had already taken Yang Xiaofeng's hand, turned around and walked out.

Looking at Luo Qingxue and Yang Xiaofeng's hands holding each other tightly, Duanmu Xuan only felt as if his heart had been stabbed by something, a heart-rending pain, and even breathing became a little difficult. At that moment, he could no longer control his emotions, and rushed forward to block Yang Xiaofeng and the others.

Yang Xiaofeng and Luo Qingxue were about to go out, but they were blocked by Duanmu Xuan at the door.

Duanmu Xuan looked at Yang Xiaofeng with a resentful expression, and without saying anything, he stretched out his hand towards the other party, with a hint of cruelty and madness in his tone, and said in a continuous voice: "Come on, come on, Your Excellency defeated Dongfang Ming in my ethereal seven shows with one move at the martial arts rookie meeting that day." Duanmu Xuan is not talented, and I want to ask you for a few tricks today. I would love to know what is so good about the man who can make Miss Snow Fairy Luo fall in love."

Yang Xiaofeng didn't move, and even the expression on his face didn't fluctuate in the slightest.

"Duanmuxuan ......", the temperature around Luo Qingxue's body instantly dropped below freezing. Her beautiful face was like a layer of frost, her hand was already on the hilt of the sword at her waist, and her eyes like autumn moon glanced at Duanmu Xuan with disdain, with a thick disgust in her eyes, and then stepped forward to block Yang Xiaofeng's body, and said coldly: "Falling Snow Valley is not a place where anyone can go wild. If you want someone to ask for advice, I'll accompany you."

Luo Qingyu also looked at Duanmu Xuan coldly, and said lightly: "Xiaoxue, Brother Duanmu is a distinguished guest, don't be unreasonable, hurry up."

Mo said to retreat, Luo Qingxue took a step forward, if she hadn't been pulled by Yang Xiaofeng, I was afraid that she would have pulled out the sword in her hand.

Duanmu Xuan looked at Luo Qingxue's face a little bewildered for a while, and with just one glance, the anger burning like a flame in his heart had already dissipated outside the Nine Heavens Cloud. His tone was a little sluggish for a while, and he said, "Miss Luo, I'm ...... I ......".

"Smack......".

I only heard a crisp sound, but it was Duanmu Jing who slapped the table heavily again, and shouted at Duanmu Xuan: "Bastard, don't retreat."

Duanmu Xuan just looked at Luo Qingxue in front of him stupidly, and turned a deaf ear to Duanmu Jing's words as if he hadn't heard them.

Seeing that Duanmu Xuan had been staring at her face, Luo Qingxue was about to have a seizure, but Yang Xiaofeng gently pulled her hand and said lightly: "Ah Xue, let's go."

After speaking, he forcibly pulled Luo Qingxue out.

From beginning to end, Yang Xiaofeng didn't even look at Duanmu Xuan. Perhaps, in his heart, he didn't have any disgust for this man who also admired Ah Xue, but seemed to have a little sympathy.

Duanmu Xuan stayed in place for a long time, feeling bored. I had no choice but to hang my head and walk back to Duanmu Jing and stand still.

Looking at his depressed expression, Duanmu Jing scolded again: "Shameful things, don't you quickly apologize to Uncle Lo."

Luo Wenbin smiled lightly and waved his hand, and said, "Hey, Brother Duanmu's words are bad, and it's not a big deal, what is there to make amends." Brother Duanmu, don't want to blame Duanmu Xian's nephew."

Of course, Duanmu Xuan has been standing there stupidly, how can there be any expression of apology.

For a while, Duanmu Jing squinted slightly at Yang Xiaofeng's back, and at a certain moment, a few faint hints of discoloration flashed in his eyes. After a while, he glared at Duanmu Xuan behind him angrily, and then got up and smiled at Luo Wenbin and said, "My bastard nephew was very rude just now, and I hope that Brother Luo has a lot of them, don't be like the next child."

Luo Wenbin also got up and said with a smile: "It's normal for young people to be impulsive, but if they are as old and serious as you and me, it would be a little strange." Besides, it's just a trivial matter, and if I get angry because of it, wouldn't it be a loss of manners for the elderly?"

Duanmu Jing smiled habitually, then sighed again, and said: "It's really a pity, if the Ethereal Peak and the Falling Snow Valley can become sons and daughters, there is still that force on the rivers and lakes that can fight against them." But, alas, alas, what a pity".

Luo Wenbin also smiled and said: "It's indeed a pity, it's just that I shouldn't have made this marriage contract for the little girl back then, otherwise, Luoxue Valley and Ethereal Peak may be a family in the future."

Duanmu Jing nodded with a smirk.

Luo Qingyu bowed slightly to Duanmu Jing and said, "Although the senior's words are reasonable, our Luoxue Valley is just a small sect, and we don't have any grand ambitions, just trying to live a stable life." Therefore, it is not too much of a pity whether it can be married to the Ethereal Peak."

Duanmu Jing sneered slightly: "The virtuous nephew is young and promising, and he is even more eloquent in his heart, so he naturally doesn't need to rely on nepotism, but I forgot about this."

Luo Qingyu's eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of gloom, but he pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Duanmu Jing's words, and said with a smile: "The seniors are too famous, and the juniors really dare not be."

"Hehe......", Duanmu Jing smiled faintly, hugged his fist at Luo Wenbin, and said, "Brother Luo, the old man took the liberty to come, it was really disturbing. It was supposed to be a good thing, but it was ......."

He sighed, and continued, "Well, I won't talk about that. I'm leaving, and I hope Brother Luo will cherish it a lot."

Luo Wenbin smiled and said, "Brother Duanmu came from afar, he should have stayed for a little longer, so that I could have a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, why did he leave in such a hurry?"

Duanmu Jing waved his hand and said, "It's just that there are a lot of miscellaneous things in our faction, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, and I hope that Brother Luo is not strange."

"That being the case, I won't leave Brother Duanmu for a long time......", Luo Wenbin suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, just now I have ordered Lao Xie to prepare a few small items for Brother Duanmu to talk about the meaning of fists." I also hope that Brother Duanmu will accept it, don't dislike it."

Duanmu Jing did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Brother Luo's deep friendship will be reported in the next day." As for this gift, I think the unique cold cloud tea of Luoxue Valley is good, can you give me some."

Luo Wenbin was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Among the things given to Brother Duanmu, there are good tea."

"Oh, thank you Brother Luo for that......", Duanmu Jing bowed his hand to Luo Wenbin again, and said: "The old man will say goodbye, you and I are destined, and we will meet again in the future."

Luo Wenbin stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and said, "I'll send Brother Duanmu."

The four of them came out of the hospital, and the carriage was already waiting outside the door. Duanmu Jing's uncle and nephew got into the car, and finally waved at Luo Wenbin's father and son, and then did not stop and went straight out of the valley.

Looking at the carriage in front of him, Luo Wenbin suddenly asked his son who was standing beside him for no reason, and said, "Yu'er, what do you think of Duanmu's uncle and nephew?"

Luo Qingyu smiled coldly and said lightly: "Duanmu Jingneng can sit in the position of the leader of the martial arts, the number one force in the rivers and lakes, the Ethereal Peak Sect, the weight of his scheming, the depth of the city, naturally it is not comparable to ordinary people, and he will never be an ordinary person." As for Duanmu Xuan, it's just a reckless man, and I haven't taken him into account yet."

Luo Wenbin asked tentatively again: "...... about Duanmu Xuan's proposal to Xiaoxue?"

Luo Qingyu directly interrupted impatiently: "Just him, hehe, he also wants to marry Xiaoxue as his wife, I bah, he also deserves it!"

Luo Wenbin pondered, as if he was thinking about some long-ago memories, and after a while, he said: "Thirty years ago, don't talk about the rivers and lakes, even inside the Ethereal Peak, I don't know who Duanmu Jing is. At that time, there were only three people who were the most popular in the martial arts. The sword god Li Muqing, the young master of the Ethereal Peak Junjie taught Murong Ke, and the amazing young owner of Qingshui Villa, Yang Shuangzi. Thinking about how righteous and vigorous these three people were back then, the scenery was infinite, and they were the same for a while, who would have thought that few people remember them now."

"The years have changed, even the heroes of the peerless generation will always be ......forgotten by the world", Luo Qingyu sighed lightly, a little puzzled: "Now, the second uncle and the third uncle have already died and retreated, as for this Murong Ke, who is this person, why have you never heard of it before?"

Luo Wenbin let out a sigh and sighed: "This may be the fate that all geniuses can't escape." The third brother retired from the world, and the second brother died tragically ten years ago. As for Murong Ke, he was originally the former head of the Ethereal Peak, eighteen years ago, the Ethereal Peak didn't know what happened, and the head of the sect Murong Ke suddenly lost his trace, and his whereabouts are unknown since then, and I don't know if he is still alive, maybe he has already died. It was from that time that Duanmu Jing emerged in the Ethereal Peak, and a year later, he sat in the position of the head of the sect in one fell swoop."

Luo Qingyu felt a little strange, and said quite puzzled: "Since Murong Ke is a character with the same name as the second uncle and the third uncle, he is by no means an idle person, how could he suddenly be missing?"

Luo Wenbin sneered and said, "Although Murong Ke was already in charge of the Ethereal Peak at that time. It's just that the seat of this Ethereal Peak Sect is so easy to sit in, and there are countless people who secretly covet it. The people of Ethereal Peak said to outsiders that Murong Ke's whereabouts were unknown, but the reason for this was very intriguing, but I was afraid that there was a big secret in it."

Luo Qingyu frowned and said, "In this way, this Murong Ke was assassinated?"

Luo Wenbin asked rhetorically: "What do you say"?

Luo Qingyu's brows furrowed a little tighter, and he wondered: "The whereabouts of the master sect are suddenly unknown, such a big thing, is it possible that there are so many people in the huge Ethereal Peak who have no one to investigate?"

"How to check ......", Luo Wenbin said calmly: "As you said, Murong Ke may have really been assassinated. But if you think about it, if you can assassinate Murong Ke, will there be any clues left?"

"Even so, Duanmu Jing should always check it out."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Wenbin immediately sneered twice.

Looking at his father's expression, Luo Qingyu couldn't help but be shocked, as soon as Murong Ke disappeared, Duanmu Jing was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary, even so, how could he spend any more effort to find out the whereabouts of his predecessor, and the rest of the Ethereal Peak, even if they wanted to investigate, but in view of the obscenity of Duanmu Jing, who would dare to investigate?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." What kind of people are warm and cold, people who mix in the rivers and lakes, always only recognize interests, for the sake of interests, I am afraid that they will do all kinds of things."

Luo Wenbin also sighed slightly, feeling sad for the dark side of human nature. He suddenly asked again: "Feng'er, what do you think of him, tell me what you think of him in your heart."

Luo Qingyu pondered for a while, and then said: "Xiaofeng is the kind of person who is extremely smart but has an introverted personality, such a person seems to see everything very lightly, but in his heart he attaches great importance to it, especially the feelings between people. Therefore, people like him are generally very easy-going in other aspects, but in terms of feelings, they are blindly stubborn, even paranoid."

"Oh......", Luo Wenbin smiled lightly: "In this way, Feng'er and Xue'er's personalities are very similar, no wonder they can come together."

Luo Qingyu said lightly: "Although a person's character is difficult to change, it is not absolutely impossible to change. Xiaofeng has experienced the great sorrow of life, although he seems to be calm on the surface, but whether his heart is really like water, I am afraid it is difficult to understand. Moreover, although he looks very strong, he is actually quite fragile inside, and I really don't know what will happen in the future."

Luo Wenbin was silent for a moment, and then said: "Don't say anything else, Xiaofeng just has that calmness." Sometimes I feel like I'm dealing with an old man my own age, and it's hard to imagine that he's just a young man who's just twenty-six years old. I really don't know what his character will bring to him in the future. Somehow, it always worries me."

Luo Qingyu frowned and said, "Xiaofeng seems to have no scheming, but the depth of the city is so deep that people can't see through it at all, and when facing him, I feel even more like the abyss in front of me, and it's even a little terrifying." I'm afraid this is the so-called cleverness and foolishness."

Luo Wenbin savored his son's words, and after a while, he said with some worry: "In the past ten years, the rivers and lakes seem to be calm, but there are undercurrents surging inside. And the tragedy of Qingshui Villa ten years ago is still a fog, and Feng'er has the most direct relationship with this matter. I really don't know if Cher is right or wrong to follow him!"

Luo Qingyu looked back in the direction of the Leaf Building where her sister lived, and was a little helpless, and said, "Xiaoxue has a tough temperament, we all know how she has lived in the past ten years." After Xiaofeng came back recently, we have all seen what she looks like. So, even though there are too many variables for her and Xiaofeng together, what can we do?"

Luo Wenbin smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, if it weren't for that, I really wanted to agree to Duanmu Xuan's request for marriage." As you said, Duanmu Xuan is just a reckless man, but with such a reckless man, you always have to be more peaceful."

Luo Qingyu said lightly: "What's the use of saying this, in my opinion, Duanmu Xuan has been used to it since he was a young master, and he may be resentful of what is unsatisfactory." Therefore, such a person is afraid that he will become unscheming. But Xiaofeng is different, although he still has too many variables, he is good to Xiaoxue, which is more important than anything else."

Luo Wenbin looked up at the sky in the distance, and said leisurely: "I only hope that Feng'er and Xue'er can live together peacefully and quietly, and there will be no more accidents." They've been separated for so long, and I don't want any other surprises to happen in the future."

Luo Qingyu said calmly: "Everyone has their own fate that they can't escape, and Xiaoxue is no exception. Whether it is right or wrong to be with Xiaofeng, it is Xiaoxue's own choice. As fathers and brothers, we can only give her some advice at most, but we can't make choices for her, and that's all we can do. In the end, the road still has to be walked by Xiaoxue herself, isn't it."

Luo Qingyu's father and son were a little silent for a while, looked up into the distance, and did not speak.

The winter days are short, and before you know it, it's late.

There were stars shining in the sky, but after a while, they were obscured by the clouds. The cold wind blows, bringing a biting chill, is it going to snow again after a few days of sunny weather?

After a while, Luo Wenbin muttered to himself: "Is it going to change the sky again, but I don't know when this river and lake will change the sky together."

Luo Qingyu's tone was firm, and he said: "No matter what becomes of this Jianghu, I will not let the relatives around me be hurt in the slightest."

Luo Wenbin smiled bitterly, but did not speak again after all.
