Although it has been more than a year since leaving Nanqin and Ye Mansion, the courtyard of Ye Linglong, the daughter of the Ye family, is still intact, and all the furniture in it has not been touched.After returning to Nanqin from the Great Zhou, she lived back in her own courtyard, and the maids who served in the courtyard cleaned it every day to maintain the elegance, cleanliness, and luxury that high-ranking officials and noblewomen should have.But when she returned, she ordered someone to rearrange it inside and out.The adjusted garden is no longer as elegant as before, but more warm, strict and low-key.It's full of a different kind of atmosphere.It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were thin, the night breeze was light, and there was a low conversation in the flower hall outside the boudoir."
Husband, when are we leaving here?"
This is a woman's voice, very familiar, but there is a kind of affection and fascination in the voice that outsiders have never heard."
What," the man's voice was a little indifferent, "Isn't the Prime Minister's Mansion your home?"
Why do you want to get out of here?
”"I don't want to stay here."
Ye Linglong said, poured a cup of tea and handed it to the man on the other side of the round table, and said in a low voice, "There are too many people, too many things, I like to stay quietly in the mountains, only with you, no one disturbs." ”When the man heard this, he seemed to be silent for a while, and then said, "Ye Linglong, I will leave soon, but I can't take you with me anymore." ”The words fell, and the atmosphere in the flower hall froze for a few moments."
Husband?"
Ye Linglong's voice was a little more shocked, a little puzzled, and more panicked, "Why?"
What did the husband say......
I don't understand. ”Accompanied by this slightly shrill sound of panic, the subtle sound of the screen window being pierced is perfectly muffled.Through the hole in the screen window, the black eyes clearly saw the two people in the hall, a man and a woman, sitting and standing.The man was wearing a gray robe, very plain color, his black hair was fixed behind his head with a simple wooden hairpin, his facial features were not very handsome, but he looked elegant, and with the clothes on his body, there was a feeling of detachment from the world.But his expression, the tone of his voice when he spoke to him, was very cold, "You don't need to understand. ”"But I'm your wife-" The man looked up, because of Ye Linglong's words, a trace of embarrassment and apology flashed in his eyes, and he regained his composure in a moment, "Although we have been married for more than half a year, we have not had a round house, you are still a yellow flower girl, and no one knows about our relationship."
As far as you're concerned, you won't have any problem marrying another man in the future. ”"I don't want to marry another man!"
When Ye Linglong heard his words, her voice suddenly became excited, and her pretty face turned red, "We are already married, how can my husband say such a thing?"
One woman doesn't serve two husbands, I'm already married to my husband, how can I marry other men?
”"Ye Linglong."
The man's voice was slightly deep, and he seemed to be a little displeased.Ye Linglong's face changed, and she fell silent, the corners of her mouth slowly tightened, and her face was a little pale.There was a long silence in the flower hall again."
Ye Linglong."
After a long time, the man spoke, his voice was calm, as if with a kind of indifference without desire, "According to reason, I shouldn't have married, I am a cultivator with a heart like water, you didn't know my identity at the beginning, and now in order to make you die, I can tell you something." ”"Husband......"
Ye Linglong's voice trembled slightly, and she subconsciously shook her head, "I don't want to hear it......
I don't want to know who you are, I-" "I'm past the age of knowing your destiny this year, and I'm older than your father in terms of age, so it won't be fair to you if you marry me. ”The man ignored Ye Linglong's painful resistance, and said lightly, "Cultivators can't get close to women, otherwise my cultivation for so many years will fall short, and I will die like an ordinary person." ”The age at which you know your destiny?
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the people outside the window, and they couldn't help but look at the man's face carefully, but no matter how they looked, they only saw a face of about thirty years old.Although his eyebrows were a little pale, and when he looked closely, he could see that his expression seemed to be a little tired, but he still couldn't clearly see the signs of old age that belonged to a fifty-year-old man.To what extent can a cultivator stop aging his face?
Will he still live like a normal person, or will he live longer?
Obviously, Ye Linglong also has these questions.When she heard the words "Knowing the Destiny of Heaven", she was shocked, and then couldn't help but stare at the man's face for a long time, and then said cautiously: "Husband won't frame me, right?"
This face of yours looks like it's only a few years old. ”"It's not you."
The man shook his head, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "I have no desires in this life, I concentrate on cultivation, although I can't achieve immortality, but it is a very common thing to delay aging and increase my lifespan." ”Ye Linglong seemed to forget her uneasiness, and subconsciously asked, "How long can that husband live?"
Is it a hundred years old?
”"There is no prescribed age."
The man said, he didn't seem to mind telling her these personal things, "Under normal circumstances, you can be more than a hundred years old, but you can't live to be too outrageous, just live longer than ordinary people." ”"Oh."
Ye Linglong nodded."
I promised to marry you before, but in fact, I had the intention of using you."
The man said, seemingly feeling a little embarrassed, but he said anyway, and covered up his unnaturalness with the gesture of drinking tea, "I'm sorry for this. ”Ye Linglong's face changed, her complexion turned a little whiter, and she said in a low voice: "What is my husband using me for?"
”"I just told you that I am a cultivator, and I should obey the mandate of heaven and should not participate in worldly affairs."
The man said, "I did this decades ago, but recently there have been some abnormalities in the Heavenly Dao, and I want to correct it, the original plan has been set, but it was ruined by my own apprentice." ”"Ruined by your own apprentice?"
Ye Linglong was surprised, "Fujun's apprentice is very powerful?"
”"Awesome?"
The man was slightly silent, and then smiled a little mockingly, "The only great thing is that he is willing to pay for his blood." ”In order to destroy his plan, he did not hesitate to use all his strength, which is indeed quite powerful.And he, since he was injured by Chu Feimo, his body has not been very good, and it will take at least ten years for the lost cultivation to fully recover.So at this time, he can't use his ability to deal with Linyue, and his senses are much duller than before, otherwise where would he need the help of a weak woman?
Moreover, it is still by such an unsightly means as marrying a woman......
