Qin Lie walked on the stone path at the entrance of the town with a blank expression.
Just like half a month ago, his eyes were empty and lacklustre, his clothes were muddy, and he looked gray and sad, looking quite embarrassed.
Behind him, Ling Ying was dressed in colorful clothes, her figure was plump, her bright eyes showed a strong sense of doubt, and she followed without hurry.
Half a month ago, after Qin Lie left Yaoshan, the head of the Ling family thought that he was in the belly of the mountain and had been anxious to see him, so he arranged for people to wait at the entrance of the mine in Yaoshan all night and night.
Ling Feng guarded at night, and Ling Ying was in charge during the day, and the two of them guarded in shifts, and as soon as he appeared, he immediately reported to the head of the Ling family.
It is also because of this that Du Heng, who is full of curiosity about the interior of the medicine mountain, has never found a chance to explore deeply.
And Ling Feng and Ling Ying were also asked by Ling Chengye to only wait at the mouth of the Yaoshan mine, and they were strictly forbidden to go deep into the belly of the mountain, so they still didn't know that there was a strange array shelter in the Yaoshan Mountain.
This evening, Ling Ying was staying at the entrance of the mine as usual, and when she was so bored that she was about to doze off, she suddenly saw Qin Lie coming back from the direction of the Extremely Cold Mountain Range.
Ling Ying was so shocked that she almost screamed.
She followed Qin Lie all the way, a pair of suspicious eyes, staying on Qin Lie's body and dunging, and she didn't see any way, which made her even more suspicious in her heart.
"This fool is not in the mine, but in the Extremely Cold Mountain Range for half a month, why did he go and break into the Extremely Cold Mountain Range alone, how did he survive?"
The more Ling Ying thought about it, the more puzzled she became, her charming face was full of surprise, and she became curious about Qin Lie for the first time.
Qin Lie naturally knew that Ling Ying behind him was always looking at him, he didn't have a trace of turmoil in his heart, as early as before he was about to reach the medicine mountain, he hid the two bags properly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble with too many things on his body, now that he was relaxed, he was not afraid that the Ling family would be able to interrogate him through the items on his body.
He doesn't have any good feelings about the Ling family, but he doesn't have any malice, the relationship between his grandfather and grandson and the Ling family, in his opinion, is just a pure transaction.
Grandpa repaired the spiritual weapon for the Ling family, in exchange for the right to use the inside of the medicine mountain, and helped him cultivate the Heavenly Thunder Death, and that's it.
As usual, he came in from the entrance of the town, ignored the gazes and criticisms of others, and walked straight to his stone house.
The strange cries of "fools come back" were directly filtered out by him, because he was used to it, so it couldn't affect him at all.
After a short time, he returned to the three stone houses, the stone houses had obviously been cleaned and clean, Qin Lie didn't care, closed the door and began to rest.
His return to the town made many people puzzled, such as the Ling Chengye brothers and the Du family There are also people who are indifferent, such as Ling Xuanxuan, who is still shouting in the martial arts arena, and she doesn't even look at Qin Lie too much "The head of the house."
Ling Ying abandoned Qin Lie, his clothes fluttered, and he walked quickly to Ling Chengye's side, his charming little face was full of doubts, and he whispered: "He, he didn't come out of the mine, but came from the direction of the Extremely Cold Mountain Range for half a month, and he wasn't in the mine at all."
As soon as these words came out, the three members of the Ling family were all surprised, curious about Qin Lie's whereabouts in the past half month.
"Got it, don't say much to others about this."
The head of the Ling family groaned for a while, told Ling Ying not to talk too much, motioned her to go down, and then glanced at Ling Chengzhi, and the two brothers plus Ling Yushi all got up and walked in the direction of Qin Lie's stone house.
The three of them soon came to the door of Qin Lie's stone house, and Ling Chengye knocked on the door, "Qin Lie, I'm your Uncle Ling, please open the door." ” Inside the house, Qin Lie opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and then quickly adjusted, opened the stone door with a blank expression, and let the three members of the Ling family come in.
In the past five years, sometimes Ling Chengye would occasionally come over, and Qin Shan was still there at that time, and he came to find Qin Shan to repair the spiritual weapon.
After Grandpa's absence, Ling Chengye has never been here again in the past two years, and this visit made Qin Lie suspicious, not knowing the intention of the three members of the Ling family.
After the three members of the Ling family came in, they saw Qin Lie sitting on the stone bench, looking at the cup on the stone table in a daze, it seemed that the cup was much more interesting than the three of them Ling Chengye stared at him carefully, looked at him for a while, and suddenly said, "Qin Lie, I don't know if you can hear it, and I don't know if you will really be like this forever."
I just want to say that the spirit grass elixir on the medicine mountain is very important to the Ling family, and in the past two years, those spirit grasses have begun to wither in large quantities, which has affected the foundation of the Ling family. ” After a pause, he looked deeply into Qin Lie's eyes, and did not see anything abnormal, and in desperation, he could only continue to say: "If, if you can hear it, if you have a way, I hope that the withering of the spirit grass on the medicine mountain can stop."
The Ling family can't afford such a heavy loss, so please really pay attention to this matter. ” Qin Lie didn't say a word and continued to look at the cup.
"One more thing."
Ling Chengye hesitated for a while, and said more and more helplessly: "I promised your grandfather that he would take care of you until you were seventeen years old, and one of the ways is for you to get engaged to my daughter."
According to the agreement between me and your grandfather, the ceremony should be held recently, and I will inform you that it is between you and Yushi.
I will arrange it as soon as possible, and the ceremony is around this time. ” Qin Lie was still blank, without any change in his expression, but Ling Yushi's face was flushed and his expression was ashamed.
"But I want to make it clear up front that this engagement is only for your protection, and it will only last for two years.
After two years, I will break the marriage no matter what, and I hope you are mentally prepared.
Ling Chengye continued to add, pondered for a while, and then said: "Your grandfather has been kind to my Ling family, and we have cooperated happily in the past few years, and I hope it will be the same in the future."
Well, no matter what your real situation is, I won't take care of your affairs in the future, just try to get along well. ” After that, Ling Chengye got up and motioned for his younger brother and daughter to leave with him.
"Daddy, I want to say a few words to him alone, you guys go first."
Ling Yushi hung her head and said softly.
Ling Chengye was ashamed of her, sighed in his heart, nodded without saying more, and walked out of the stone house with his younger brother first.
The room suddenly quieted down, and the atmosphere gradually became a little strange, Qin Lie's expression was blank, and he didn't have any reaction, as if he didn't know that there was a delicate young woman in the room.
Ling Yushi bit her lower lip, her cheeks were slightly red, and she suddenly got up and said, "You shouldn't have taken a bath for a long time, I'll help you release the water first." ” After that, she got up elegantly, rolled up the sleeves on her forearms, revealing a snow-white wrist, and went to the dressing room to fetch water for Qin Lie with a somewhat embarrassed expression After the barrel was filled with water and towels and other items were placed, she returned.
She adjusted herself through this series of movements, and at this moment, she had slowly calmed down.
On her delicate and beautiful face, a trace of self-pity and helplessness appeared, and she said resignedly: "My Ling family owes Grandpa Qinshan a favor, I will repay it in two years, and after we get engaged, I will often come to take care of you, hey, I can only do some cleaning, put water and wash for you, I hope you can understand" During the speech, Ling Yushi held a rag that had been soaked in water, and no matter what Qin Lie's reaction was, he was skillfully busy in the room.
Qin Lie's eyes were blank, but his heart was very clear, through Ling Yushi's familiarity with the house, he soon knew that the cleaning work in the half-moon house should be done by the delicate and beautiful woman in front of him.

"Hey, you're quite pitiful, after Grandpa Qin Shan died, you were alone, and your brain couldn't be used."
"Originally, my father was going to let you get engaged to the little sister, and she is the same age as you, but the little sister is the hope of the Ling family in the future, and my father is afraid that the engagement will affect her cultivation and her future marriage, so I will replace her."
"Heh, although I am an older sister, I am not as talented as my little sister's cultivation.
I'm seventeen years old this year, and before I turn twenty, I'm afraid I won't be able to break through the Kaiyuan Realm, and the core members of the Nebula Pavilion can be picky, if I can't break through the Kaiyuan Realm before the age of twenty, I won't be able to get their approval for the rest of my life. ” "My father and third uncle have wanted to integrate into Nebula Pavilion all their lives, but unfortunately their fate is not good, they can't achieve it in their lives, so they can only pin their hopes on their little sister."
"Hey, because the herbs withered, and was caught by the Du family, I have been annoyed by them recently, that woman, who wants to take the medicine mountain for herself, is menacing this time, and I don't know if I can stop it." “” Maybe it was because she was going to get engaged to Qin Lie soon, or maybe she felt that Qin Lie didn't know what she was talking about, so she didn't have much defense in her heart, so when Ling Yushi was doing things, she kept thinking and muttering, which made Qin Lie have a deeper understanding of the situation of the Ling family. also made him have a better understanding of Ling Yushi, and his perception of this woman has also changed to a certain extent After the matter was done, Ling Yushi didn't stay any longer, and told Qin Lieshui that he had put it away, remember to take a shower early, and left the house lightly.
Qin Lie listened for a while and made sure that she was far away, so he walked into the dressing room.
Looking at the large water stains next to the bucket and the untidy stack of towels, he shook his head and smiled.
He could see that Ling Yushi shouldn't have done this kind of thing often, and he was in a hurry just now, so he made it like this.
Touching his nose, Qin Lie didn't care, he undressed and entered the barrel, and then he was covered in a fierce spirit, almost screaming.
It turned out to be cold water Second, Qin Lie's eyes were blank, and he entered the Ling family's dining hall with a snot flow.
Ling Yushi, who was weak-hearted, quickly lowered his head with a smile when he saw him coming in with snot and hula, not daring to look at him more.
The Ling Chengye brothers and Du Jiaolan soon began to fight each other because of the matter of Lingcao, and the strong smell of gunpowder made Qin Lie feel that the two sides might start a war at the dinner table.
After the meal, he continued to go to the Yaoshan Mine to cultivate, because he was not in a state of being unable to be thoughtless, and when he was cultivating, he carefully controlled the power of the heavenly thunder, lest the electricity overflow and kill the spirit grass and elixir.
Ling Chengye's words still played their due role, and he didn't want to destroy the foundation of the Ling family and cause endless trouble.
He returned to normal, Ling Feng and Ling Ying no longer guarded the mine, and in one night, Du Heng finally found an opportunity to enter the mine.
After some dizzy exploration, Du Heng was horrified, and like Ling Chengzhi, he was shocked by the changes in the cave.
Just as Du Heng reported the situation in the cave to his mother, Ling Chengye was also making arrangements, and he asked Ling Xuanxuan and Ling Chengzhi to leave temporarily and let them go to Ice Rock City.
Because he knew very well that once Ling Xuanxuan knew that her sister was engaged to Qin Lie instead of her, she would definitely break out and obstruct Qin Lie and Ling Yushi's engagement ceremony.
Ling Chengye asked them to go to Ice Rock City, and letting Ling Xuanxuan go was only one of the reasons, the most important thing was to let them say hello to the Nebula Pavilion.
Ling Xuanxuan was extremely talented, and the Nebula Pavilion had noticed it very early, Ling Chengye hoped that the Nebula Pavilion would look at Ling Xuanxuan's face and continue to grace the Ling family's time to pay the herbs.
In the past few days, Ling Yushi has also come to Qin Lie's stone house often according to his words.
During the day, while Qin Lie was away, she took away Qin Lie's changed clothes and washed them, and in the evening, after Qin Lie came back, she would come over with dried clothes, put water for him to bathe, and help him clean up.
The embarrassment of misplacing the cold water has never happened again, and of course, her habits have not changed, and she is talking to herself every day.
After the initial awkwardness, Qin Lie gradually adapted to it, and slowly got used to the life of being served.
Once Ling Yushi put the water away, he didn't wait for Ling Yushi to leave, and went directly to the dressing room to rinse.
Every time he took a bath in the wooden barrel, through a door, listening to Ling Yushi's soft complaints outside, he would raise his eyebrows slightly, and sometimes a weird smile would appear on the corner of his mouth.
"I'll go first, you wash slowly."
Ling Yushi's soft voice came from outside, and just when Qin Lie thought she was leaving, Ling Yushi's breathing in front of the door was a little disordered, and she whispered as low as a mosquito: "Tomorrow, tomorrow will be arranged by my father."
After she left for a long time, Qin Lie reacted, sat in the wooden barrel and stared at the beams of the room, not coming back to his senses for a long time
