Iceman Family

Chapter 22

Two days later, Avalokitesvara and I arrived at the Fengcheng Loulan.

Now that I have successfully established the foundation, I have truly stepped into the fairyland. While I feel refreshed and comfortable, I also take steps with more confidence.In the past, my cultivation base was too low, and I would not dare to go far without the company of my servants, let alone strolling in the imperial city where famous practitioners gather; but now I not only have the cultivation base of the foundation establishment stage, but also have the Nascent Soul stage by my side. Accompanied by Avalokitesvara, this trip can be regarded as a triumphant trip, and there are no longer too many scruples.

The windy city is full of yellow sand, the sand houses exposed to the sun stretch along the street, the plaques painted with Loulan ink characters are crumbling on the sand pillars, there are few pedestrians, and they are all wearing heavy cloaks. What is the famous cultivator who heard the news.I lifted the bamboo hat that shaded the sun, seeing that it was still early, and after registering in front of the city gate, I wandered with Guanlianyin in the relatively bustling market.

"Axi..." Avalokitesvara picked up a shining silver sword from the booth where the flying magic weapon was placed, and asked me sideways, "How does this sword look?"

I looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "It's not very good, but it's enough for Asi's flying magic weapon after foundation establishment."

Avalokitesvara counted out the spiritual stones from the storage bag and gave them to the vendor. She turned the sword in her hand into a very delicate pendant, and tied it around my waist with her head bowed.I looked at his quiet side face, put on the hat again, and held his hand hanging by his side.

Guan Lianyin froze for a moment, staring at the place where we held each other for a long time, her expression seemed a little dazed.I silently dragged him around the windy city made of yellow sand, and only when the sun above my head was no longer harsh and sank softly to the horizon of the desert, did I raise my sword with him towards someone in the city. A sandcastle flies away.

Now that he has prepared for the worst, what else can I refuse?

"Axi, why are you here so late?" Guided by the white-robed waiter into the sandcastle, before I could stand firm, I heard a familiar voice not far away.Beside the murals full of birds and beasts, my father was sitting cross-legged on the silk couch, seeing me looking at him, he narrowed his eyes and said, "What have you been doing these past few days?"

A light cough came from behind, Guan Lianyin retracted her flying sword, looked at her father casually and said: "Brother Linghu, Asi has been with me these few days."

Dad was stunned: "Bird watcher?!"

Guan Lianyin didn't show any expression after hearing this title, she smiled lightly and leaned towards me, patting the dust on the hem of my clothes affectionately.This kind of action was originally nothing, but facing Dad's strange eyes, I still couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, raised my head and said to Guan Lianyin: "Shi, Uncle Shi... is already clean..." Before the words fell, A white light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, father drew out the sword at his waist, stood up and pointed directly at Guan Lianyin's eyebrows.

He looked at me with pain and pity, and looked at Guanlianyin angrily and said: "Bird watcher, what have you done to my Asi!"

Guan Lianyin sighed, looking extremely helpless.I secretly compared the figure and aura of the two of us, knowing that my father would definitely not believe that I was the one above, so I faltered and said: "Father, Uncle Shi didn't do anything to me."

The sword in Dad's hand paused, he looked at me suspiciously and said, "It's really nothing?"

Although I wanted to straighten my back and say it's nothing serious, but my father's eyes were too sharp, which made me feel a little guilty, so I turned my head away and muttered: "It's really nothing..." After saying that, I hid in the audience Behind Lianyin, she silently pointed her fingers.

After a strange silence, I looked at my father in bewilderment, and found that the petrified him was shattering piece by piece, blood was even overflowing from the corner of his mouth, his body shook twice and fell limply. "Father?" I rushed forward and shook him nervously, and it took a long while to straighten his limp body from the ground, and looked at Guan Lianyin who was smiling very sinisterly at a loss.

"Ahem." An old voice came from a distance, and I looked beyond the rows of wooden carvings to the depths of the sandcastle, only to realize that we had neglected the owner for a long time.

Elder Jia Luo, the high priest of Loulan, Fengcheng, sat in front of an old mural, and said to me apologetically, "The wind and sand in the city is relatively large, and it is hot all year round, so it's no wonder Patriarch Linghu fainted unwell, and I hope Mr. Xiqing will forgive me. Come, help Patriarch Linghu to the guest room so he can rest, I will personally discuss this matchmaking with Mr. Xiqing."

Two waiters in white robes stepped forward and dragged Dad away. I stood up and patted my clothes in relief, and said to the elder in the distance, "I have seen Elder Jia Luo."

Loulan, the windy city, is an extremely barren land, not considered the main city, and there are no permanent famous cultivators in the city. Most of the time, it is used as a supply station by monks who hunt for treasure or travel.It has been a hundred years since the Lord of Loulan passed away, and there has never been another city lord to succeed him. This high priest who is equivalent to a prime minister can be called powerful, although he is not as powerful as the lord of Guangling City, marrying his daughter to a good husband The son-in-law is still not a problem, but I don't know which son-in-law he is looking for.

Elder Jia Luo saw that Guan Lianyin and I were already seated, and after some consideration, he opened his mouth: "I talked with Patriarch Linghu about this matchmaking a few days ago. Although Mr. Xiqing knows the general idea, he probably doesn't know what's going on. Trivial details. As a priest, Lao Zhuo lived alone in the city for many years. He never married a wife. He only adopted a son and a daughter. The eldest son’s name is Narcissus, and he disappeared from Fengcheng 20 years ago; the youngest daughter’s name is Qing Lian, this is the one who is about to marry."

When I heard these two names, Guan Lianyin and I were stunned.

Elder Jia Luo's son is called Narcissus, but it's just the same name as the elder brother's other soul, and I don't care much about it; but his daughter is called Qinglian, which really shocked me.Guan Lianyin seemed to remember that I had called this name in a trance, and her eyebrows were furrowed.

"Qinglian!" Seeing that we were silent, Elder Jia Luo called towards the arched door of the sandcastle where painted wooden figurines stood, "Why don't you come out soon and serve tea to the big matchmaker?"

Not long after, a girl in a blue veil came in with two cups of fragrant tea, and presented it to the wooden table in front of us. She took off her veil to reveal her elegant appearance, looked at us and said softly: "I have seen Xi Young Master Qing, Senior Guan."

When I moved my hand on my knee, the change in expression was seen by Guan Lianyin beside me.

This girl has an aura that I am very familiar with. The face that should be unfamiliar makes me feel a little familiar, and a certain emotion similar to nostalgia arises spontaneously in my heart.I felt a little panic for no reason, and I didn't know what I was worried about. I subconsciously held Avalokitesvara's hand from under the table, and didn't deliberately hide my anxiety.Guan Lianyin looked at Qinglian in front of her eyes, her eyes gradually overflowed with a little deep color, and her hand with mine tightened.

"The little girl is an orphan who was picked up by Lao Zhuo from the Yuling ruins back then. She has a special identity. She is a rare half-dragon and half-feather in the world; therefore, it is really difficult to find a half-god husband-in-law for her."

Half Dragon, Half Feather...

Coincidence, just a coincidence. "Miss Qinglian is so beautiful, if anyone can take such a beauty home, they will be overjoyed, why can't they find a husband and son-in-law?" Seeing that girl staring at me all the time, I turned my head away and went to work. After a few compliments, he looked at Elder Jia Luo and said, "I don't know which family the elder is looking for?"

Elder Jia Luo saw that I was not embarrassed, so he said happily: "The third prince of the Dragon Clan."

I trembled when I heard the words, and the celadon teacup fell from my hand, and was caught by Guan Lianyin with quick eyes and quick hands with spiritual breath, and sent it firmly to the wooden table. "The elder is referring to... the third prince, Aoya?" Horrifying scenes emerged in my mind, I wiped off the cold sweat from my forehead, and asked pretending to be calm.

Elder Jia Luo nodded and said, "Exactly."

The cold sweat on my body grew more and more, I smiled desolately and said: "Let me leave this marriage to my father, I really can't do anything about it." Elder Jia Luo was stunned, and asked in puzzlement: "Where did Mr. Xiqing come from?" This statement? Patriarch Linghu said that he had already washed his hands in the golden basin, and that he would no longer make love to others in person. He had already paid off the 1 yuan in middle-grade spirit stones. Marriage with the mortal Zhang Xiuxiu, I think the marriage between the youngest daughter and the third prince should also be a matter of course, but what concerns do you have?"

The 1 yuan of middle-grade spirit stones has already been paid off.

I calmly glanced at the seat where my father sat not long ago, with a sneer on the corner of my mouth.Stinky old man, you are really good. You accepted the matchmaker's red envelope and did nothing, pushing your own son into the fire pit.

A gentle spiritual breath wrapped around my arm, and gradually climbed to my ears, the voice of Avalokitesvara resounded from it, with a slightly complicated tone: "Axi, what difficult things have happened between you and the third prince Aoya?" Tell me about the past?"

The corners of my mouth twisted, and I complained incessantly, and hurriedly explained: "Uncle Shi, don't speculate, he and I are just..."

"Young Master Xiqing." Before my spiritual breath reached Guanlianyin's ears, Miss Qinglian, who had been staring at me for a long time, spoke quietly, with the same confusion as me just now. You seem to have known each other... Could it be that we met somewhere?"

I withdrew my spiritual breath and looked at her, and suddenly felt that she and my lover in my heart had overlapped together. After a while, I stretched out my hand like a nightmare, and reached out to her clean and flawless face.A bewitching color flashed in her almond eyes, and then she looked at me gently, as if she wanted to suck me into the dark spring water.

"Miss Qinglian." Avalokitesvara suddenly stopped my hand, looked at her and said lightly, "I wonder if you have practiced the "Xi Ke Zhen Jing"?"
