There was silence in the cave.
Fairy Zixia waited patiently at the door and was not in a hurry.
After a while, the stone door sounded and slowly opened.
Luo Qingzhou walked out wearing a black outfit with a guilty look on his face.
His breathing has not yet completely calmed down, and is still a little rapid. There are still two blushes on both cheeks. It is not clear whether it is caused by the heat inside or the intense training process.
Fairy Zixia gave him a meaningful look and asked, "Where is Qingzhu?"
Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment and said: "Still practicing inside."
Fairy Zixia smiled slightly and said, "Then let me go in and take a look."
With that said, he was about to walk inside.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly panicked, hurriedly opened his arms to stop her, and stammered: "Master...Master, Master, Uncle...she is practicing at a critical moment and doesn't want to be disturbed..."
Fairy Zixia raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"
Luo Qingzhou's cheeks felt hot.
Fairy Zixia looked at him deeply again, and then got down to business and said, "Feiyang, come with me to the main peak hall. I have a big red envelope for you."
Luo Qingzhou was eager to let her leave here quickly, and said quickly: "Yes, thank you, Master."
Fairy Zixia's lips curved slightly and she said with a smile, "Do you want it?"
Luo Qingzhou nodded quickly and said: "I think, Master, let's go quickly, I can't wait to see the big red envelope that Master gives to me!"
Fairy Zixia smiled, turned around and said, "Let's go."
Luo Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look inside the cave, and quickly followed behind.
Uncle Master fainted again during practice.
Hope it's okay.
However, this time, he did not advance and seemed to be still some distance away from breaking through.
It seems that cultivation is getting more and more difficult.
at the same time.
Cave Mansion, in the stone chamber.
Linghu Qingzhu's hair was disheveled and she was lying motionless on the rocks in the bathtub. The pink petals and thin mist covered her slender and delicate jade body, making her snow-white jade body hazy. Hazy, looming, beautiful and attractive.
I do not know how long it has been.
Her square eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes, with a lost look in her eyes...
"By the way, Master, are there any guests from the sect today?"
When he reached the Jianfeng intersection, Luo Qingzhou suddenly asked.
Fairy Zixia said calmly: "Yes, we are distinguished guests. King Duan personally brought members of the royal family to our sect to pay New Year greetings and discuss matters."
Luo Qingzhou asked doubtfully: "The imperial court has always kept a distance from the five major sects. Even if it wants to win over, it won't be so big and blatant, right?"
Fairy Zixia shrugged and said, "Who knows."
At this time, the white crane fell from the sky and landed in front of the two people.
Fairy Zixia stretched out her jade hand, touched Bai He's neck, turned around and said, "Feiyang, come up."
Luo Qingzhou looked at the white crane in front of him and said in surprise: "Are we going to ride the crane over?"
Fairy Zixia said: "Yes, come up quickly."
Luo Qingzhou was about to go up when he suddenly looked at her and said, "Master, you better go up first, I want to sit in the back."
Fairy Zixia raised her eyebrows and refused: "No. How can you behave properly if you sit in the back and hold me as your master?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Isn't it inappropriate for the disciple to sit in front and be held in the arms of the master?"
Fairy Zixia smiled brightly and said: "If you sit in front, you can hold its neck. As for being a teacher, there is no need to hug you at all, but if you sit in the back, it will be your first time to ride a crane. , I will definitely embrace him as my teacher, this is not appropriate."
Luo Qingzhou thought about it and realized that it really made sense.
Without any further hesitation, he immediately went up, moved forward, and hugged Bai He's neck.
Bai He was docile and did not lose his temper.
Fairy Zixia also rode up and sat behind him, with a slight distance between her and him. She put her hands on both sides without touching him.
The white crane chirped, fluttering its wings and flying high.
This was the first time that Luo Qingzhou's physical body flew into the sky. Looking at the sky close to Chi Chi and listening to the howling wind beside his ears, he yearned more and more for flying with a sword in the late stage of the distraction realm.
Sister Yue said that only when you reach the late stage of the Divided Soul Realm, you can divide your soul to wield a sword and fly with your physical body.
He has now broken through to the middle stage of distraction state.
With the speed of his cultivation, it shouldn't take long to break through to the late stage.
When the time comes, flying with a sword, shuttling between the blue sky and white clouds, and freely coming and going between heaven and earth, wouldn't it be as carefree and happy as an immortal?
Of course, if you want to be truly free and happy, just flying with a sword is not enough.
"By the way, Master, why did you come to see this disciple in person?"
Luo Qingzhou looked at the main hall getting closer and closer and suddenly asked.
Fairy Zixia said: "The distinguished guest wants to see you, my uncle is also here, and no one else dares to go to Jianfeng at will."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly turned his head, looked at her and said, "Master, why did this disciple suddenly have an ominous premonition? What is the big red envelope you gave to this disciple?"
Fairy Zixia smiled slightly and said, "You will know after you go."
As he was talking, the white crane chirped, stopped flying, and began to glide downward smoothly.
Looking at the palace guards standing outside the main hall, and thinking about the scene he saw on the riverside in the morning, the ominous feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
But the princess was in the main hall, so he had to go.
Bai He led the two of them and landed lightly on the square outside the hall.
The two got off the white crane.
Fairy Zixia led him towards the main hall.
At this time, everyone in the hall seemed to be looking at the master and apprentice.
Fairy Zixia smiled and looked calm.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly felt an invisible pressure coming on him.
When he arrived at the entrance of the hall, his eyes first glanced at the faces of the royal family members in front, and then looked at Nangong Meijiao behind.
At this time, Nangong Meijiao's eyes were staring at him coldly.
Luo Qingzhou wanted her to give some hints, but apart from looking at him coldly, she showed no other expression on her face.
Nangong Xiaoxin, standing next to her, had her eyes wide open with a curious expression on her face.
"Uncle Master, Feiyang is here."
Fairy Zixia walked into the hall and said with a smile.
Zhuang Zhiyan, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at the young man in the hall with a smile, and looked very pleased.
Luo Qingzhou stepped forward, lowered his head and cupped his hands: "Feiyang pays homage to the ancestor!"
With a kind smile on his face, Zhuang Zhiyan nodded and said, "Feiyang, I heard Zixia say, you were practicing in the cave just now? How was the effect?"
The corners of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and he lowered his head and said, "The effect... is pretty good."
It's quite warm in the cave...
Zhuang Zhiyan said with concern: "Zixia went to call you, didn't I disturb you?"
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "No, the disciple has finished practicing."
Zhuang Zhiyan nodded, stretched out his hand and introduced: "Feiyang, these princes came from Kyoto specifically and want to meet you. Zixia should have told you the specific things, right? You don't have any objections, right? "
Luo Qingzhou was stunned when he heard this and looked at his master.
Fairy Zixia seemed a little embarrassed and said: "Uncle Master, I haven't had time to tell Feiyang yet, so you should tell him in person."
】
Zhuang Zhiyan was slightly startled, then glanced at her doubtfully and said, "Zixia, this is a good thing, don't you dare to tell him?"
Fairy Zixia looked confused: "Uncle Master, my disciple told you before that Feiyang has a wife in his family, and Feiyang loves his wife very much. So..."
Luo Qingzhou's heart suddenly sank.
Zhuang Zhiyan said calmly: "So what? This matter is not just a simple marriage. Haven't you discussed it with other sects before? They all agree, I agree, the court also agrees, everyone agrees, Isn’t this enough?”
Fairy Zixia lowered her head slightly and said no more.
Zhuang Zhiyan looked at the young man beside her and said with a smile: "Feiyang, since your master didn't tell you, my ancestor will tell you. These princes are here today to propose marriage to our Lingxiao Sect. They With the Queen Mother's decree and the Holy Emperor's decree, I come to propose marriage for the eldest princess. And the person to propose marriage to is you."
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
Zhuang Zhiyan saw that his expression was wrong and said: "What's wrong? Don't you want to? I heard that during the Taikang feast, you tried your best to protect the eldest princess in the hall, and you admired and loved the eldest princess very much. So when you heard about this, weren't you You should be happy, right?”
There was silence in the main hall for a moment.
Both the people from Lingxiao Sect and the royal family looked at the young man in the palace with some surprise.
After hearing the great news, he stood there motionless, without any expression of excitement or excitement on his face.
The other party is the proud daughter of Dayan, not only outstanding in talent, but also unparalleled in beauty. What's more, during the Taikang banquet, the young man did show great admiration and protection for the eldest princess. How come now...
Could it be that he was stunned because he was too excited?
Just when everyone was wondering, the young man suddenly bowed deeply to the ancestor of the Lingxiao Sect, then turned around and bowed to the royal princes, and then said: "The Queen Mother and Your Majesty's love is so great that I can't repay it with tears of gratitude. However, Feiyang already has a wife at home, so... he cannot marry again. Feiyang is very grateful to everyone for your hard work and effort on this matter!"
Everyone: "..."
There was suddenly silence in the main hall.
No one expected that after hearing the news, the young man refused without any hesitation...
Zhuang Zhiyan frowned slightly.
Fairy Zixia's expression remained unchanged, as if she had expected it.
Prince Duan, Nangong Ke, and other members of the royal family were all stunned and confused.
Only Nangong Meijiao, who was standing at the back, had a smile on her lips and seemed to be in a good mood.
At this time, Wu Youzi, the great elder of Lingxiao Sect, suddenly said: "Feiyang, even if you have a wife, it doesn't matter. Just ask her to take a step back and become a concubine. I believe that the eldest princess will not care about these small things. "
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Ke also quickly promised: "Mr. Chu, don't worry, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty have already stated that if you already have a wife at home, there is no need to divorce her, and the eldest princess will never force you to do such unethical things. "
At this time, Nangong Xiaoxin, who was standing behind, suddenly said in a crisp voice: "Brother Chu, there are many beautiful female guards around Sister Huoyue, and Sister Huoyue also has a female guard. If you marry Sister Huoyue, you can be the groom every night from now on."
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Ke's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately turned around and yelled: "Xiao Xin, don't talk nonsense!"
Nangong Xiaoxin stared at him, not afraid at all, and said: "Dad, are what they said true? And they are also helping you to persuade Brother Chu."
The muscles on Nangongge's face twitched and he said quickly: "Meijiao, take Xiaoxin out to play for a while. We will go find you later."
However, Nangong Meijiao stood still and said, "Uncle Wang, children's words are innocent, and Xiaoxin did not say anything wrong."
Nangongge had a grimace on his face, secretly regretting that he had agreed to bring the sisters here, so he could only smile and say, "Mr. Chu, Senior Zhuang, Fairy Zixia, please don't take it to heart if the children are ignorant."
Then he persuaded: "Mr. Chu, we are here with full sincerity this time. You can make any requests you have. As long as we can do it, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will try their best to satisfy you."
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands in front of him, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, you are serious. Being able to marry the eldest princess is a blessing that only juniors can achieve in several lifetimes. I can't thank you enough, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty. Where else can I be?" Unsatisfied. However, I have just made it very clear that I already have a wife at home, so I cannot marry again. As for what the elder and the prince said, let my wife be a concubine, I'm sorry, I can't do that. She has She has married this junior, and since she is his wife, I will naturally stay with her, love her forever, and will never let her be wronged because of another woman, even if she is the eldest princess."
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent again.
Nangong Meijiao looked at him quietly, with a vague look in her eyes.
Another princess standing not far away, her eyes flickering, holding a message slip in her sleeve, transmitted the entire conversation just now.
At this time, Zhuang Zhiyan suddenly said: "Feiyang, the reason why you don't agree to this marriage is because you are afraid that your wife will be wronged and you don't want her to be your concubine, right?"
Luo Qingzhou paused and said respectfully: "This is just one of the reasons. Also, although the younger generation does admire the eldest princess and tried his best to protect the eldest princess, the younger generation only has simple respect and admiration for the eldest princess and has no The relationship between a man and a woman. I don’t want to be a prince-in-law. I just want to practice quietly here and don’t want to get involved in anything..."
He knew in his heart that there were too many things involved in this marriage.
He must not be a part of it.
The eldest princess was very kind to him, and he should indeed repay it, but not with his own body, let alone by wronging his wife and family.
Moreover, this marriage is a political marriage, which not only involves all parties in the court, but also the five major sects, and even the entire Dayan.
He can break his body to pieces in order to repay the eldest princess, but he must not drag his family into danger.
In the main hall, everyone looked at each other and understood the meaning of his last words.
But Zhuang Zhiyan still said: "Feiyang, if you really want to practice quietly without any interruption, then you should agree to this marriage. This marriage is related to Dayan's safety."
After a pause, he continued: "As for you saying you don't want to wrong your wife, is it possible that you still want to wrong the eldest princess?"
Having said this, he glanced at King Duan and the royal family members.
Nangongge said quickly: "Mr. Chu, I feel that this matter cannot be said to be aggrieved. If you can become sisters with the eldest princess, and can call the eldest princess sister, I believe that your wife will agree willingly if she knows about it."
"Not always."
At this time, a clear and unfamiliar voice suddenly came from the crowd behind him.
Nangongge frowned and turned to look.
Everyone else's eyes also looked over.
Behind the crowd, Nangong Xiaoxin's mouth opened slightly, her eyes widened, and she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "Dad, it's not what I said, I...I just..."
"Bold Shade!"
At this moment, the ancestor of Ling Xiao who was sitting on the chair suddenly shouted angrily, rose into the sky, and instantly turned into a stream of light and flew out of the hall!
