blood contract

It was the first time that a girl looked directly at him like this, and the man was a little surprised. Her eyes were clean and clear, as bright as stars, as if they could illuminate the filth in the world and dissipate the haze in his heart.

"What's your question?" Lingling asked again, "Young Master is a spiritual doctor?"

The man came back to his senses and nodded, "Yes."

"Then let's take a look." Lingling didn't show any pretense and stretched out a hand in front of him, "I'm also quite troubled by this matter."

The man's slender fingers lightly placed on Lingling's wrist, and he was stunned for a moment. Use the fingers on your wrist to press gently and hard several times.

Sure enough, as he thought, the elixir core was completely destroyed and the meridians were damaged, but it seemed that the meridians were unobstructed and running well. Weird! Weird!

"Why is the girl so injured?" After saying this, the man realized that he shouldn't ask more questions and hurriedly changed his words, "The injury is so serious that it cannot be repaired by these pills. The meridians are damaged, but they are running well, which is strange. I... have little talent, poor academic skills, and cannot cure. I made the girl laugh!" At the same time, his eyes showed guilt.

Lingling smiled and said, "Young master, being able to diagnose my problem is already a great medical skill. There is no need to blame yourself."

I was afraid that I might not have a chance to meet this ice, fire, and ice cone today. The man felt a little regretful and sighed softly.

The girl is not short of money, but the elixir and herbs can't even get into the girl's eyes.

In the past, everyone who came close to him was interested in the elixir and medicinal herbs of the family behind him. The elixir I was so proud of failed to be of any use today, which was a bit embarrassing.

The man bowed his hands politely and said, "You're disturbing the girl."

Polite, elegant and graceful, Ling Lingman likes this type of person.

She joked: "Take off your mask and let me see what you look like, and I will give you this Ice, Fire and Mysterious Ice Cone. How about it?"

The man was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but touch the mask with his hand, and asked softly: "I... am ugly, I'm afraid of scaring the girl."

ugly! She didn't believe that such a handsome young man could be so ugly that he would subvert her outlook on life.

Lingling blinked curiously, her long eyelashes trembling, "Are there any ugly slugs?"

"..." The man said, "This...isn't this true."

"That's it." Lingling looked at him expectantly, and the black ice pick in his hand shook a few times in front of his eyes. “It’s a good deal, don’t wait until it’s out of date.”

The man was a little helpless. He opened his thin lips and asked, "Girl, why do you insist on seeing my appearance? Is this important to you?"

"Just out of curiosity." Lingling said simply,

"...After seeing this, you will become my wife!" The man said with the intention of scaring her.

Sure enough, Lingling had a weird expression, put away the black ice pick, and shrank her head, "Such a weird condition. Don't look at it, don't look at it, why don't I just leave?"

The man's heart was focused on the ice cone of fire and ice. It would be difficult to find this thing if he missed it. He hurriedly stopped, "Wait! I just... lied to you."

Hearing this, Lingling paused in his steps and turned around with unhappiness written all over his face. How dare you lie to others.

The man sighed, raised his hand and slowly took off the mask.

At this time, Lingling's unhappy face was filled with curiosity again.

The man appeared to be about 21 or 22 years old, with smooth and fair skin and a sharp-edged face. He should have had a handsome appearance, but it was completely ruined by a scar as deep as a centipede on the right side of his face.

He lowered his eyes, as if he was not used to being stared at all the time, and put the mask back on.

"It's quite ugly." Lingling said carelessly.

The man's hand on the mask paused, his mouth slightly curved, and he apologized: "Sorry, I scared the girl."

Lingling patted the ice cone of ice and fire into the man's hand, touched the man's heart with his finger, and said meaningfully: "The ugliness is not on the face, it's here. It doesn't matter if the appearance is beautiful, but it is very important. It flew away , you can fly.”

The man's hand holding the Ice-Fire Mysterious Ice Cone froze, and his eyes looking at her couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Indeed, his inner demons are like this scar on his face, which is deep, ugly, terrifying and ferocious. But even if the injury on his face was cured, what about the injury in his heart? Instead of feeling uncomfortable looking at that face that looks like hers all day long, it is better to let it exist together with the pain in his heart. This will make him feel better!

Now the girl saw through it at a glance. Looking at the girl's slender back as she left, he asked: "My name is Ye Tiancheng. Do you dare to ask her her name?"

"Ling, Ling."

The voice faintly reached the man's ears.

Xiao Mansion

The Xiao and Xu families are famous families in Fengxing City. The two families were old friends and had business contacts with each other. They had been married for generations and took care of each other. They both prospered and suffered losses.

In just a few days, Xiao Linxuan, the eldest son of the Xiao family, arranged an engagement for Xiao Yue. Her husband was Xu Luo, the concubine of the second wife of the Xu family.

When Xiao Yue learned about it, she made a fuss for several days.

"I won't marry, I won't marry." Xiao Yue lay on the bed, crying like pear blossoms and rain.

Xiao Yisong is also one of the top two. He didn't understand until yesterday the real purpose of why his eldest brother asked him to bring Xiao Yue here this time.

He and Xiao Yue were originally children from a branch of the Xiao family. Since the eldest wife of the head of the family had been infertile, Xiao Yisong was chosen as his son from a side branch. Unexpectedly, after the candidate was chosen, the eldest lady became pregnant with Xiao Linxuan, and Xiao Yisong became the nominal adopted son, but he has been living in Wancheng of Qi State. Although he is one year older than Xiao Linxuan, because of Xiao Linxuan's status, he still calls her "big brother".

"Yue'er, your Geng Tie is ready. After the "Hundred Schools of Thought Contest", the Geng Tie will be entered into the Xu Mansion. Once it is completed, you will marry into the Xu Mansion." Xiao Yisong persuaded Xiao Yue earnestly.

"Don't listen, don't listen. The second brother is also a bad person. He and the eldest brother tricked me into coming to Fengxing City to force me to get married. If I had known this, I wouldn't have come..." Xiao Yue sobbed.

"I really only found out yesterday." Xiao Yisong explained with a bitter look on his face.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yue refused to listen. He said a little irritably: "Whether you come or not, this marriage has been decided by my eldest brother a long time ago. Do you dare to disobey my eldest brother?"

"..." Xiao Yue cried. Turning around and getting out of bed, he pulled Xiao Yisong and begged: "Second brother, I don't want to marry someone I don't understand. Can you help me and help me think of a way? Please, second brother."

Xiao Yisong sighed, "Unless you can break through to the middle stage of the third level, or win the first place in the individual competition of a hundred schools of thought, and become the core disciple of the family, you will not marry Xu Luo."

"Ah!" Xiao Yue, who still had a glimmer of hope, was immediately discouraged after hearing this. These two requirements were too difficult for her, "Uh-huh... But, even if I become a core disciple, I won't marry Xu today. Luo, I will also marry someone from the Xu family tomorrow."

Xiao Yisong patted his sister on the shoulder and said, "If you get more resources and are more powerful than your elder brother, who can force you?"

"This..." Xiao Yue understood that her brother was right. But is it possible to say he is stronger than Xiao Linxuan? Is this impossible for her?

"With your current identity and status, you and I will always be pawns in the family. It is impossible to be with the person you like for the rest of your life. Only by working hard and improving your strength can you change everything. Do you understand? Yue'er!" Xiao Yisong said earnestly.

Xiao Yue's face was stained with tears, she lowered her eyes, squeezed her dress with both hands, nodded and said: "I understand, second brother, I will work hard."
