Chapter 23: The Choice

The spiritual power extended to the past, and Long Xingyu could clearly "" Seeing that a group of people were testing, in addition to the test of their own level, what they also had to test was their actual combat ability. For these, Long Xingyu is not interested, in his coming, these are all boring things, or he is not a mercenary group or something. He is not opposed to promotion in battle, but in the mercenary group, it is inevitable that he will be stumped by mundane things, and even produce a bunch of causes and effects, which are not good things for future cultivation.

Just as he was thinking about it, Long Xingyu's spiritual power suddenly arrived, and Han Ningshuang was actually standing there talking and laughing with a young man about thirteen or fourteen years old. The young man's outfit seemed to be a member of the "Blood Moon", but the color of his clothes was different, and he didn't stand there like everyone else to screen the people who came to sign up, and there were a few obvious followers behind him.

"Hmph, little white face, it is really unreasonable to dare to seduce my condensation. "A little angry, speaking of which, after Han Ningshuang returned home when he was six years old, his attitude towards himself when he came out again changed greatly, although he usually studied with himself, went to the library, and discussed some magic cognition, but he was no longer as dependent on himself as before and even felt a little estranged, which made Long Xingyu feel very depressed at the same time. At this time, the cold frost that was chatting very happily with the "little white face" in the "Blood Moon", Long Xingyu immediately lined up the crowd and walked over quickly.

Holding Han Ningshuang's arm and protecting her behind him, Long Xingyu said to the boy who was four or five years older than him: "Little white face, stay away from her." As he spoke, ignoring the surprised glances cast by everyone, Long Xingyu wanted to pull the cold condensation frost away.

"Stop, you hold my fiancée where she wants to go. The shout of the "little white face" immediately surprised everyone.

"Fiancée?" Long Xingyu suddenly felt as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, this "little white face" actually said that Ning Shuang was his fiancée, and he would be Ning Shuang's fiancé? Long Xingyu felt that his brain seemed to be unable to turn around.

Turning her gaze to the cold condensation, Long Xingyu received a trace of hesitation and a trace of determination from her eyes.

Letting go of the hand holding the cold condensation, Long Xingyu suddenly felt that the world in front of him seemed to be so strange, and everything seemed to be so incompatible with him.

"Why, why didn't you tell me. Long Xingyu suppressed his emotions and asked.

"Ning Shuang is my fiancée, and it was his father who personally agreed to the marriage, acquaintance, you better stay away from her as an outsider. The toad wants to eat swan meat, and it is not worthy of it. Only I can give her happiness. Without waiting for Han Frost to answer, the "little white face" spoke first.

"I didn't ask you. Glancing lightly at the "little white face", Long Xingyu turned his gaze back again.

"Xingyu, don't be like this, aren't we good friends, I've always treated you like a big brother. Han Frost said with some hesitation in her eyes.

"Brother...... Brother ......" Long Xingyu only felt a buzz in his brain, and he couldn't hear what Han Ningshuang said after that.

"Little Frost, let's go, don't be like this kind of inferior people. As he spoke, the "little white face" was about to leave with the cold frost.

"Little white face, who do you say is an inferior person. Long Xingyu's cold words sounded, and everyone couldn't help but feel excited.

"Hehe, I've seen someone pick up money, but I haven't seen someone pick up scolding. The "little white face" said with a disdainful expression.

After hearing the two arguing, Han Ningshuang felt a great headache. She has a good impression of Long Xingyu, and even has a faint sense of different feelings, but she forced herself to believe that he was just a friend who had been with her for seven years and was very compatible with many of her ideas. But no matter what, there was always a voice in her heart that retorted. Xiang Long Xingyu's eyes were also full of anxiety.

I still remember when I came home when I was six years old, my mother told me about her family, she still felt that she was very young, these things were too far away, and she had time to pursue her dreams, but all this was completely shattered after her mother said that she was engaged.

She actually wanted to ask why, why did she have to set a family business for herself without her consent, her father kept saying that he gave his brothers and sisters the right to choose freely, but why was it her turn to be set a family business that she didn't know. Why don't my sisters and brothers have the shackles of this kind of political marriage, only I will become a victim of political marriage.

At that time, Han Ningshuang's first thought was that if he didn't agree, he couldn't agree to death, and he even went on a hunger strike for two days.

But she couldn't resist her mother's bitter pleas and search for death: "Shuang'er, it's not that your father really wants to do this, after all, you are also his daughter, how can any parent want to push their daughter into the fire pit." It's just that you also know that the only one in the family who really has a talent for cultivation is your second brother, and your other sisters and brothers can only learn etiquette and other things in the Imperial Academy, and they don't know what their lives will be like in the future. In this case, how can your father bear to let them fall victim to a political marriage? ”

After a pause, Ning Shuang's mother choked up and said: "This family affair was decided not long after you were born, the other party's family is not only a powerful family, but also has a lot of outstanding children in the clan, there are several people who study in the Demon Martial Arts Academy alone, they will inevitably be in a high position in the empire in the future, and your father, when will he retire, no one in the family will be able to inherit your father's mantle." Originally, your father wanted one of your sisters to marry the second son of the other party, although it will not occupy a high position in their family, but it can also ensure a worry-free life, and it can be regarded as a marriage with the other party's family, and can be taken care of by the other party. It's just that the second son of the other family's family doesn't have your two sisters, but only you who are still in infancy, and in the end, he can only use you as a price. And your father has been in politics for so many years, precisely because he is honest and honest, he is also a family that has provoked many big forces, although now your father is a minister and a minister, but in the future, the reason why your father agreed to this family business is also a helpless move. ”

"What about me, have you ever thought about my feelings? What is it to me to marry someone I never know or even like? "Cold Frost cried very sadly.

"Yes, we don't know how big a blow this will be to you, it's just that the power of the Yu family in the empire is too huge, and His Majesty the Emperor also relies too much on them, no, it should be said that it is three points of awe, just because their family has two god-level masters of the ancestors. Even His Majesty will be in awe of them, not to mention that we are an ordinary family, even if your father can rule the world, but after all, this is a world where strength is respected, even if the right is fought again, it cannot be compared with powerful people. "Mother is bitter, and she also makes Han Ningshuang feel the injustice of the world, but she is just a little girl, and she is powerless to change it.

"Alas, in fact, your father's best person is you, although you are a daughter, you have been excellent in wisdom since childhood, and your way of acting is also the most recognized by your father, so your father originally hoped that you could inherit his mantle. You know, the empire does not stipulate that women are not allowed to participate in state affairs, if you can become a female prime minister, continue to benefit the people of the world, and even if you can become the wife of the future emperor, I think you can bring a better impact on the country. Pity. Mother Frost paused, just shook her head and sighed.

"I ...... Why are you talking to me now, why don't you tell me when I'm older. "Frost said weakly.

"I wanted to tell you when you were 10 years old, so that you too could have a happy and wonderful childhood. But when you are at home, all you mention is the little boy named Xingyu, if he is really as good as you say, your father and I are afraid that you will end up in it, and you will not be able to extricate yourself when the time comes, and it will not only harm you, but also harm him. We don't want you to continue on that path, so we can only tell you in advance. Mother Frost said.

"But his talent is also very good, and his achievements in the future are definitely the highest, I have always believed this, why don't you agree to let me follow my feelings. "Cold Frost is still a little unrelenting.

"Future, you know what the future is, the Yu family has the right and strength, you and the little guy are only six years old, how easy it is for people to clean you up, don't be naïve to think that they are all people of the same country, their Yu family is absolutely capable of destroying a person who is against him, even if his future is bright, it is the same, so for the sake of your family, for yourself, and for the little guy called Xingyu, you have no choice. Mother's words shattered the last bit of hope of the cold frost.

"I promise you. Closing her eyes, Han Ningshuang only felt that the strength of her whole body had been stripped away, and at this moment, she had no vision for her future life.

"Maybe that's okay, too much extravagance, for me, is like the phantom sun in the sky, untouchable. The life of the established trajectory may be what we will experience in the end. Before I knew it, my tears seemed to have dried up, and I only felt that my heart was tired.

It's ridiculous that I'm only six years old, and I thought I could have a carefree childhood, but fate always likes to joke with people, and everything seems to be changing inadvertently, and even dreams and hopes have changed beyond recognition.

"Why give me a brilliant mind, why let me see through everything. It would be nice if I was just like ordinary girls, carefree and free of worries, maybe for them, the life that was set up was the one that could live out their value. But what about me, I don't want to live so unreal, live so constrained, but why do you have to give me such a life. God, why are you so cruel, why do you have to let me 'die' with thoughts. Han Frost raised his head at the gloomy sky, and couldn't help crying in his heart.

When she returned to the Demon Martial Arts Academy that time, Han Ningshuang was in a very gloomy mood, no matter what method Long Xingyu used, she couldn't make her smile, and she couldn't talk about these things to this good friend who had been with her for so many years.

Looking at Long Xingyu's devastated appearance, Han Ningshuang often struggled to think in his heart: "Even if you say it, can you do anything." Since the end is doomed, then I can only accept it calmly, right? ”

"I don't want to live for myself, I don't want to get rid of the shackles of political marriage, but can I, can I give up the parents who gave birth to me and raised me, although their behavior is a little selfish, but the starting point is also for the sake of my family, can I ignore their feelings for the sake of my own wishes. I can't, Xingyu, forgive me, though I don't know what kind of feelings I have for you, brother, or ...... I like to be by your side, I like to listen to your big truths, I like to listen to your fresh stories, but I can't let my parents down, let alone let the whole family be ruined because of me, I can't do it, please forgive me for being selfish. Forget me, we are still young, we don't understand love at all, love shouldn't exist in us, maybe it's like I said, you are like a kind big brother next door to me. The final result of the ideological struggle was to become more and more alienated from Long Xingyu, and she didn't want Long Xingyu to fall into the quagmire with her.

However, Long Xingyu has calmed down at the moment, from the gaze revealed before the cold frost, Long Xingyu can clearly see the anxious look, and can also feel the pain and struggle in her heart, that kind of pain, like a dagger pierced deep into her chest, suffocating, sad.

Faintly looking at the "little white face" in front of him, Long Xingyu said sharply: "Listen to what you mean, you seem to feel noble, what are you?"

"I'm not something. As soon as the words came out, the "little white face" found that something was wrong, "I am something~" hurriedly wanted to change his words, but a cold voice suddenly sounded.

"Since you're not a thing, then please get out of here in harmony, what I hate the most is the little white face, which always reminds me of something bad. Also, I don't care if Ning Shuang really has a marriage contract with you, but I know that it was not made by her, and your behavior is already disrespectful to her opinion, what do you treat her as, goods, the capital of political marriage, what qualifications do you have to say that you can give her happiness. ”

After that, Long Xingyu ignored the "little white face" with a blue face, but turned his head to Han Ningshuang and said: "Ningshuang, I know you don't like such a guy, and if you become a victim of political marriage, your future life can only be bleak, don't you hate this kind of life the most, don't you want to realize your ideals and be the first female prime minister of the empire." Have you given up, are you giving up because of the existence of a little power and white face in this family, because of the obscenity of his family?"

"I ......" After listening to Long Xingyu's words, Han Ningshuang's heart that had finally been firm was a little confused.

"If you have a choice, would you like to join me to escape all these troubles and find a place where our lives are meaningful. With Cold Frost's somewhat confused eyes, Long Xingyu felt a little heartache.

"I, I don't know, I really don't know. With that, Han Ningshuang quickly ran out of the training ground with his head in his hands.
