Before dawn, Qin Lie quietly went to the Medicine Mountain, and the two leather bags he brought back from the Extremely Cold Mountain Range had already been put back by him into the cave where he was cultivating.
A leather bag contained the beast core of the Shadow Electric Eagle and a dozen or so ice stalk grasses.
In the other leather bag, there were some spirit stones, spirit pills, spirit materials and other fragments, which originally belonged to those Ice Shattering Mansion martial artists who were killed by him.
Recently, he has been cultivating with the help of the Shadow Electric Eagle's Beast Core and Ice Stem Grass, these two materials have greatly helped him in the condensation of spiritual power, allowing him to clearly feel the fullness of power in the spiritual sea.
He didn't pay attention to those spirit stones, spirit pills and other things, on the one hand, because he didn't know the true value of those things, and on the other hand, because the Ice Stem Grass and the Phantom Electric Eagle Beast Core were currently more effective for his cultivation.
"Engagement Ceremony" Qin Lie picked out some of the spirit pills, spirit stones and other items that looked good, put them away in a smaller cloth bag, and put them into his clothes.
When he heard Ling Yushi talk about the engagement, his first thought was to refuse, because he didn't want to have a bad relationship with the Ling family, let alone hurt Ling Yushi.
Later, after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that this matter was arranged by his grandfather earlier, and his inner resistance was much smaller.
In addition, the head of the Ling family also made it clear that this engagement should not be serious, it was just a pure ceremony, and it would be canceled in two years.
A fake ceremony, in his opinion, it doesn't matter if it goes through the motions.
Recently, Ling Yushi has often come to serve, and he has slowly gotten used to it.
After all, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy, and he had been withdrawn for so long, and a beautiful girl like his sister often came to help him put water and wash his clothes, and he also enjoyed it. is engaged to Ling Yushi, and she will serve like this for two years, otherwise she may not be able to continue to enjoy such treatment.
After thinking about it, Qin Lie no longer rejected it, and was ready to go over and go through the motions.
He has woken up, although he is pretending to be crazy and stupid, but he is still a little weak about this engagement ceremony, so he came to Yaoshan to get something and put it on his body in case of emergency.
Generally speaking, before the engagement ceremony, the man not only needs to prepare the dowry, but also bring the elders of the family, and also need to pay homage to the ancestors.
Qin Lie had no relatives around him, and he didn't know where his ancestors were, so this step was omitted.
Bringing his things with him, he hurried back to the stone house before dawn, freshened up a little, and waited in the house for someone from the Ling family to lead the way.
Ling's lobby.
"Hey, the eldest lady is really pitiful, she wants to get engaged to that fool, didn't you say the second miss before?"
"Second Miss has good talent, she is destined to enter Nebula Pavilion in the future, and she can't have a stain on her body.
There's no way, Grandpa Qin Shan helped the Ling family before, and the head of the family has already promised others, so he can't regret it."
"Why can't Qin Shan pass away anyway, what does that fool know?"
"The eldest lady is so beautiful, she actually wants to be a fool cheaper, God is unfair" "yes."
Many members of the Ling family were scattered in the lobby whispering, all lamenting that Ling Yu's poems were not worth it, and lamented her sacrifice.
After Ling Chengzhi and Ling Xuanxuan went to Ice Rock City, the head of the Ling family suddenly released his words, announcing the engagement of Qin Lie and Ling Yushi, and then before everyone could react, he was ready to hurry up and complete the ceremony.
Ling Chengye did not notify or invite the surrounding friendly forces, but only explained it in the town, obviously not planning to do this matter with great fanfare.
At this moment, many members of the Ling family were invited to gather in the hall, and Ling Kang'an, an elder of the Ling family, was also among them.
He was also the only clan elder invited to come.
There are three clan elders in the Ling family, namely Ling Kang'an, Ling Xiang, and Ling Bo, all of whom are martial artists of the older generation of the Ling family, and are the same generation as Ling Chengye's father.
Due to the Ling family's close proximity to the Extremely Cold Mountain Range, the development of the martial arts force faced many challenges, sometimes they had to go into the depths of the mountain range to hunt spirit beasts to find spirit grass, and sometimes they would accept the dispatch of the Nebula Pavilion to fight with hostile forces, so it was not easy to end a good death.
The head of the Ling family in the previous generation, Ling Chengye's father, was killed in a battle with hostile forces.
The three clan elders of Ling Kang'an, Ling Xiang, and Ling Bo have all suffered heavy losses, or their cultivation has been completely ruined, or their realms have continued to retreat, and they usually recuperate at home, rarely participating in the affairs of the clan.
It stands to reason that Ling Yushi's engagement event is not only for Ling Chengzhi and Ling Xuanxuan, but also for the three clan elders to appear.
However, Ling Chengye rejected this matter in his heart from the beginning, and he was ready to regret his marriage in the future, so he did not arrange for the other two clan elders to come over, and only let Ling Kangan come to make a show.
"Those people surnamed Du didn't come, the head of the family shouldn't have invited them, well, it will be a lot cleaner."
"Hmph, it's not our Lingjia Town at all, what are you inviting them to do?"
"When I saw the mother and son, my stomach was on fire" Many young people of the Ling family, when they mentioned Du Jiaolan and others in the corner, their faces were angry, and their eyes were cold.
An old woman of the Ling family walked towards the lobby with Qin Lie, and she didn't know what to say along the way, and she didn't know if Qin Lie could understand, so she just said, "You can follow me in a while, and everything will be arranged by us."
The head of the family is careful, everything has been arranged for you, No, even the dowry you should have prepared first. ” The old woman shook the wooden box in her hand at him.
Qin Lie was stunned in his heart, and groaned for a while, he smiled stupidly, took out the cloth bag from his arms, and put it on the wooden box in the old woman's hand, indicating that it was his dowry.
The old woman was obviously stunned, first looked at Qin Lie with strange eyes for a while, and then she touched the cloth bag very expertly, and secretly weighed it, and when she found that the cloth bag should be full of hard objects such as stones, her face was full of self-deprecation.
She shook her head, and didn't open the cloth bag to investigate, but just thought: I thought I was smart, it seems that a fool is a fool, and he can use a stone as a treasure Soon, amid the sound of firecrackers, the old woman took Qin Lie to the door of the lobby.
She presented the wooden box in her hand along with Qin Lie's cloth bag, and then focused on the wooden box, signaling that the wooden box had been arranged by the person receiving the bridal gift, and then ordered the cloth bag and shook her head with a smile, and then pulled Qin Lie in.
The noisy lobby suddenly quieted down because of Qin Lie's arrival.
Everyone looked at Qin Lie, who looked blank, and their brows couldn't help frowning, and they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, feeling worthless for Ling Yushi in their hearts.

Qin Lie saw Ling Yushi at a glance.
She was clearly well-groomed.
A bright close-fitting red dress, which sets off her graceful and slender figure, with a faint red on her cheeks, makes her look gorgeous and extraordinary, and the delicate crystal jewelry makes her look playful and cute.
The white skin like jade, the beautiful face, the clear and translucent eyes, and the elegant temperament converge together, so that today she is like a fairy in the Moon Palace, and the beauty makes people's hearts sway, and they can't help themselves.
However, the more beautiful and touching she is, the more people pity her.
Everyone looked at the elegant and refined Ling Yushi, and then looked at Qin Lie, whose eyes were blank, and they all felt awkward, sighing one by one, becoming more and more uncomfortable.
Of course, not everyone is so friendly, and there are also some women from the Ling family, who have a bad relationship with Ling Yushi, and are jealous of her beauty, so they don't like what they say in a low voice, and their eyes are full of ridicule and ridicule.
Ling Chengye looked at the beautiful and quiet daughter beside him, and listened to the criticism of everyone in the lobby, feeling guilty in his heart.
He didn't want this ceremony to last too long, so he hurriedly glanced at the old woman and signaled that the ceremony would be completed quickly, so as to end this farce he led as soon as possible.
The old woman comprehended and shouted loudly, guiding Qin Lie and Ling Yushi to carry out the tedious rituals.
Listening to everyone's non-words, enduring the pity, sympathy, ridicule and other eyes that came one after another, Ling Yushi could only pretend to be indifferent, and occasionally gave a smile cooperatively.
The bitterness and sourness in her heart are known only to herself.
"This is fate, I can't blame others, father, they have sacrificed so much for the family, and it should be time for me to sacrifice for the family.
Although Qin Lie is like that, he also has the advantage of being stupid, he won't bully me, and he won't care about anything about me, he actually looks good when he closes his eyes.
If, if he's not stupid, if he's normal, even if he's just an ordinary person, it's okay to accept it."
Ling Yushi secretly comforted herself, but when she thought of it later, she couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.
Every woman fantasizes that her other half is heroic, can protect herself, take care of herself, she is only seventeen years old, and naturally she is no exception, and naturally she has fantasized about it.
But the reality is so cruel A hand suddenly grabbed her at this time, which made Ling Yushi nervous in vain.
Then she heard the old woman's shout, and she immediately realized that the ceremony was going on here, and she and Qin Lie should hold hands and continue, and she also knew that Qin Lie's hand should have also been grabbed with the help of the old woman.
She had never had physical contact with a man, and she was a little panicked in her heart, she soon found that Qin Lie's hands were very slender and soft, and they seemed to be much more comfortable than her sister's hands, which made her feel surprised, and she couldn't help but look at Qin Lie beside her.
She suddenly found that in the depths of Qin Lie's wooden eyes, there seemed to be some light in the dark, and only when she was so close could she seem to vaguely see the bits and pieces.
That light actually made her inexplicably feel at ease, and her disordered heart gradually calmed down.
"It's weird" She muttered to herself, and couldn't help but hold Qin Lie's hand, and with a little force, she felt more and more at ease.
"Big brother, what do you mean by this" At this moment, Du Guerlan's characteristic mean tone suddenly came out from outside.
Then I saw the three mothers and sons of the Du family, the warriors arranged by Du Haitian, and the other two elders of the Ling family, and broke into the lobby together.
When everyone's eyes were attracted, Du Guerlan blushed and said coldly: "My niece's engagement is such a big thing, and my eldest brother didn't even inform me whether he didn't take me into his eyes, or didn't treat me as a member of the Ling family at all."
Without waiting for Ling Chengye to explain, she suddenly pointed to the two Ling family elders who were in wheelchairs behind her, and said bitterly: "There are also two clan elders who worked hard for the Ling family back then, and ended up with a disability, but they were not even invited to come.
Ling Chengye, what the hell do you mean?"
"Chengye, what the hell is going on" Ling Xiang, one of the elders of the clan, also had a straight face, and was pushed forward in a wheelchair by the Du family's martial artists, "We two old guys have worked hard for the Ling family all our lives, and in the end we are not even qualified to participate in the junior engagement ceremony."
"You don't take us seriously at all" Another clan elder, Ling Bo, slapped the wheelchair hard, and his face was full of anger, "Don't forget, we three clan elders have the right to dismiss the patriarch" As soon as these words came out, not only Ling Chengye shrugged off and changed color, but the Ling family members in the room in the lobby all looked frightened
