Day also not bright, Qin Lie quietly went to Herb Mountain, brings two leather bag that from Arctic Mountain Range, early was returned the cultivation cave by him. 天还没亮,秦烈就悄悄去了药山,从极寒山脉内带回来的两个皮袋,早被他放回修炼的山洞。 leather bag is putting Hidden Shadow Lightning Bird Beast Core, ten Ice Stem Grass. 一个皮袋盛放着幽影电雕的兽核,十来株冰茎草。 In another leather bag, is some Spirit Stone, Spirit Medicine, Spirit Materials and other fragmentary thing, was these by Shattered Ice Manor martial practitioner that he kills. 另外一个皮袋内,则是一些灵石、灵丹、灵材等零碎之物,原属于那些被他所杀的碎冰府武者。 Recently, he in rely on in Hidden Shadow Lightning Bird Beast Core and Ice Stem Grass cultivation, this different material was enormous to his Spiritual Power condensation help, letting him to feel in Spirit Sea obviously the full of strength. 最近,他都在借助于幽影电雕的兽核和冰茎草修炼,这两样材料对他灵力凝聚帮助极大,让他能明显感觉到灵海内力量的充盈。 These Spirit Stone, Spirit Medicine and other thing, he has not cared actually, on the one hand is because he does not know these things the true values, on the other hand also because of Ice Stem Grass and Hidden Shadow Lightning Bird Beast Core, is more effective to his cultivation at present. 那些灵石、灵丹等物,他倒是没有放在心上,一方面是因为他不知道那些东西的真正价值,另外一方面也是因为冰茎草和幽影电雕兽核,目前对他的修炼更加有效。 „Engagement ceremony......” “订婚仪式……” Qin Lie Spirit Medicine, Spirit Stone and other thing will pick up some appearances to be attractive, receives with a smaller cloth sack, has admitted in the clothing. 秦烈将其中灵丹、灵石等物挑出一些卖相好看的,用一个更小的布袋收起来,放进了衣衫里面。 Hears Ling Yushi to mention engagement, he thinks first is the rejection, because he does not want unclear with the relations of Ling Family, does not want to harm Ling Yushi. 听到凌语诗说起订婚一事,他先想到是拒绝,因为他不想和凌家的关系扯不清,更不想害凌语诗。 Afterward considered for a long time, he thought that this matter is his grandfather arranges early, the resistance of innermost feelings was smaller. 后来考虑许久,他觉得这件事是他爷爷早前安排的,内心的抗拒就小了很多。 In addition Ling Family Patriarch also said understands clearly that this engagement cannot take seriously, but walks a ceremony purely, two years later will relieve. 加上凌家家主也说的清楚明白,这个订婚当不得真,只是纯粹走个仪式罢了,两年后就会解除掉。 A ceremony of counterfeiting, him, went through the motions does not matter but actually. 一个作假的仪式,在他来看,走个过场倒也无所谓了。 Recently, Ling Yushi runs to take care frequently, he slowly was also used. 最近一段时间,凌语诗常常跑来服侍,他也慢慢习惯了。 He after is only an only 15-year-old youth, eccentric was so long, has elder sister's same beautiful young girl often to help him turn on the water to wash clothes, he also thought that enjoys very much. 他毕竟只是个年仅15岁的少年,孤僻了那么久,有个姐姐一样的美丽少女时常来帮他放水洗衣,他也觉得很享用。 Became engaged with Ling Yushi, she so will also take care for two years, otherwise is not possibly able to continue to enjoy so the treatment. 和凌语诗订了婚,她还会这般服侍两年,不然可能就无法继续享受如此待遇了。 After considers, Qin Lie no longer repels , the preparation went through the motions in the past. 斟酌过后,秦烈不再排斥,也准备过去走个过场。 He who waked up, although usually in feigns madness and plays dumb, but regarding this engagement ceremony, many are a little afraid, therefore comes Herb Mountain to take a thing to put the body, to prepare emergency requirement. 已经醒来的他,虽然平日里装疯卖傻,但对于这个订婚仪式,多少还是有点心虚,所以就来药山取点东西放身上,以备不时之需。 Generally speaking, before engagement ceremony, the groom's family not only needs to prepare the gift from bridegroom's family to bride's family, must take in the family|home the elder, but also needs the first ancestor worship. 一般而言,订婚仪式前,男方不但需要准备聘礼,要带上家中长辈,还需要先祭祖。 Side Qin Lie does not have the family member, does not know that the ancestor where, this step saved. 秦烈身边没有亲人,也不知道祖先在何处,这个步骤就省掉了。 Takes the thing, before dawn he in a hurry returns to the stone building, has combed the hair and wash the face slightly attentively, awaits calmly Ling Family to come guiding of person in the room. 将东西带上,在天亮前他又匆匆回到石屋,稍稍用心梳洗了一番,就在屋内静候凌家来人的带路。 ...... …… Ling Family great hall. 凌家大堂。 „Yeah, big Young Lady is really pitiful, must become engaged with that fool unexpectedly, before didn't say second young lady?” “哎,大小姐真是可怜,竟然要和那傻子订婚,之前不是说二小姐吗？” „The second young lady talent is good, in the future will be doomed to enter Nebula Pavilion, the body cannot have the stain. Does not have the means that before Grandpa Qin Shan helped Ling Family, Patriarch promise others, can't renege on a promise?” “二小姐天赋好,将来注定是要进星云阁的,身上不能有污点呀。没办法,以前秦山爷爷帮过凌家,家主已经答应人家了,总不能反悔吧？” „Why can't? Qin Shan passed away in any case, what does the fool understand?” “为什么不能？反正秦山都过世了,那傻子懂什么？” „Big Young Lady is so beautiful, unexpectedly wants a convenient fool, the heaven is unfair!” “大小姐那么美丽,居然要便宜一个傻子,老天不公啊！” „Yes.” “是啊。” Many Ling Family clansmen, scatter in the great hall talk in whispers, is Ling Yushi is unworthy, sighed her sacrifice. 很多凌家的族人,散落在大堂中窃窃私语,都为凌语诗不值,感叹她的牺牲。 After Ling Chengzhi and Ling Xuanxuan go to Icestone City, Ling Family Patriarch said suddenly that announced Qin Lie and Ling Yushi engagement, has not then waited for the people to respond, today prepares in a hurry completing the ceremony. 在凌承志和凌萱萱前往冰岩城后,凌家家主突然放出话来,宣布了秦烈和凌语诗的订婚一事,然后还不等众人反应过来,今日就准备匆匆将仪式给办妥了。 Ling Chengye does not have the influence that the notice has not invited peripheral to be on good terms, but explained in the town, obviously did not plan that handles this matter on a grand scale. 凌承业没有通知也没邀请周边交好的势力,只是在镇上说明了一声,显然是不打算大张旗鼓地去办这件事。 At this moment, many Ling Family clansmen were invited to gather in the main hall, Ling Family clan elder Ling Kangan also in middle. 此刻,很多凌家的族人受邀聚集在厅堂内,凌家的一个族老凌康安也在当中。 He is also clan elder that was only invited. 他也是唯一一个受邀过来的族老。 Ling Family has three clan elder, separately is Ling Kangan, Ling Xiang and Ling Bo, they are martial practitioner of Ling Family older generation, with Ling Chengye father peer. 凌家有三个族老,分别是凌康安、凌祥、凌博,他们都是凌家老一辈的武者,和凌承业父亲同辈。 Because Ling Family neighbors Arctic Mountain Range, the martial forces show is facing many challenges, sometimes must enter the mountain range deep place to capture and kill Spirit Beast to seek for Spirit Grass, sometimes will accept the dispatch and hostile forces battle of Nebula Pavilion, therefore, wanted dead a natural death is not an easy matter. 由于凌家紧邻极寒山脉,武者势力的展面临着诸多挑战,有时候要进入山脉深处捕杀灵兽寻找灵草,有时候会接受星云阁的调度和敌对势力交战,因此,想要善终都不是一件容易的事情。 The Lord of previous generation Ling Family, the Ling Chengye father, was executed with the fight of hostile forces. 上一代凌家之主,凌承业的父亲,就是在和敌对势力的战斗中被格杀。 Ling Kangan, Ling Xiang and Ling Bo these three clan elder, have suffered the heavy losses, or cultivates for completely to destroy, realms retreat, usually convalesces in home unceasingly, little participates in the matter in clan. 凌康安、凌祥、凌博这三个族老,都遭受过重创,或是一身修为尽毁,或是境界不断后退,平常都在家中静养,很少参与族内的事情。 According to truth, Ling Yushi engagement important matter, not only Ling Chengzhi and Ling Xuanxuan must, three clan elder also indeed should enter the stage. 按道理而言,凌语诗的订婚大事,不但凌承志和凌萱萱要在,三个族老也的确应该出场。 However, in the Ling Chengye heart repels this matter from the beginning, has prepared to break an engagement in the future, therefore he has not arranged another two clan elder to come, only makes Ling Kangan come to set the example. 然而,凌承业从一开始心里面就排斥此事,已经准备好了在将来悔婚,所以他就没有安排另外两个族老过来,只让凌康安前来做做样子。 „These people surnamed Du have not come, Patriarch should not invite them, um, this will be pure much.” “姓杜的那些人没有来,家主应该没有邀请他们,嗯,这样会清净不少。” „Snort! At is not the person in our Ling Family town, inviting them to do?” “哼！根本不是我们凌家镇的人,邀请他们干什么？” „Sees that mother and children on a lot of fires!” “看到那母子三人就一肚子火！” Many Ling Family youth, mentioned Du Jiaolan and the others in corner, was the complexion is indignant, in the eye the cold light was dense. 很多凌家的青年,在角落内提起杜娇兰等人,都是脸色激愤,眼中冷光森然。 ...... …… A Ling Family old woman, bringing Qin Lie to walk toward the great hall, did not know to say anything all the way, she does not know whether Qin Lie could understand, but said: „A while you were good with me, all are arranged by us. Patriarch is careful, anything gave you to arrange, the gift from bridegroom's family to bride's family that you should leave first prepared.” 一名凌家的老妪,带着秦烈往大堂走去,一路上也不知道说些什么,她也不知道秦烈能否听懂,只是道:“一会儿你跟着我就行了,一切都由我们来安排。家主心细,什么都给你安排好了,诺,就连你应该出的聘礼都先准备了。” The old woman shook wooden box in hand to him. 老妪对他晃了晃手中的木盒子。 In the Qin Lie heart stunned, has hesitated, he smiled simple-mindedly, takes out the cloth sack from the bosom, places on wooden box in old woman hand, hints that is his gift from bridegroom's family to bride's family. 秦烈心中愕然,沉吟了一下,他傻呵呵笑了笑,从怀中将布袋取出,放在老妪手中的木盒子上,示意那是他的聘礼。 The old woman stares obviously, first was the look looked at Qin Lie a while strangely, then she very expert tracing cloth sack, has thought over secretly, in her present cloth sack should be some stones and so on hard object, on her face covered entirely had self-ridiculed. 老妪明显一愣,先是眼神古怪地看了秦烈一会儿,然后她很内行的摸了摸布袋,暗暗掂量了一下,等她现布袋内应该都是些石块之类的硬物,她脸上就布满了自嘲。 She shook the head, does not open cloth sack investigate, but wants saying: Also thought intelligently, it seems like fool was a fool, picked up the stone to work as the treasure...... 她摇了摇头,也不打开布袋查探,只是想道:还以为聪明了,看来傻子就是傻子,捡起石头都能当宝了…… Quick, in the firecracker, before old woman brings Qin Lie to arrive at the great hall gate. 很快,在鞭炮声中,老妪带着秦烈来到大堂门前。 She wooden box in hand, offers together with the Qin Lie cloth sack together, then the stress point wooden box, has hinted to meet person wooden box of gift from bridegroom's family to bride's family already to arrange, selected that cloth sack to shake the head with a smile, this pulled Qin Lie to come. 她将自己手中的木盒子,连同秦烈的布袋一起奉上,然后着重点了点木盒子,示意接聘礼的人木盒子是早就安排好的,又点了点那布袋笑着摇了摇头,这才扯着秦烈进来。 The noise great hall, because of the arrival of Qin Lie, is suddenly peaceful. 喧嚣的大堂,因秦烈的到来,忽然安静下来。 The people look to stunned Qin Lie, brows tightly wrinkle, does not control self is heaving a deep sigh, in the heart is Ling Yushi feels to be unworthy. 众人看向神情木然的秦烈,一个个眉头不由紧皱起来,不自禁的摇头叹息着,心里面都为凌语诗感到不值。 Qin Lie sees Ling Yushi. 秦烈一眼看到凌语诗。 She underwent a careful appearance obviously. 她显然经过了一番精心打扮。 A bright personal red skirt, graceful slender, near cheek that her physique serves as contrast light bright red, making her look like gorgeous extraordinary, the fine crystal accessory makes her appear smart-alecky adorable. 一身鲜艳的贴身红裙,将她身姿衬托的曼妙修长,腮边淡淡的嫣红,让她看起来艳丽非凡,精致的水晶饰品又让她显得俏皮可爱。 That fair such as the flesh of jade, the elegant appearance, the clear translucent pupil, collects with the simple and elegant makings only in together, lets today's her such as the moon fairy maiden, the beautiful letting person mind drags, cannot control self. 那白皙如玉的肌肤,秀美的容颜,澄净透亮的眸子,和清雅的气质汇在一块儿,让今天的她如月宫仙子,美的让人心神摇曳,不能自禁。 However, she is beautiful moving, more is makes the people sympathize to be take pity on she. 然而,她越是美丽动人,就越是让众人同情怜惜她。 The people look at simple and elegant refined Ling Yushi, looks at eye wooden atheistic Qin Lie again, thinks the whole body to be irritable, oh the sound sighed, was uncomfortable. 众人看着清雅脱俗的凌语诗,再去看眼睛木然无神的秦烈,都觉得浑身别扭,一个个唉声叹息,愈的不舒服起来。 Naturally, is not all people so is friendly , some Ling Family females, usually and the Ling Yushi relations are not good, envies her beauty, breathes out the words not to be pleasant to the ear, in the eye reveals also ridicules and meaning of ridicule. 当然,不是所有人都这么友善,也有一些凌家女子,平日里和凌语诗关系不好,又嫉妒她的美丽,低声说出来的话并不中听,眼中流露出来的也是讥讽和嘲笑之意。 Ling Chengye sees side pretty tranquil daughter, is listening to the great hall people's censure, bottom of heart guilty. 凌承业看着身旁靓丽宁静的女儿,听着大堂内众人的非议,心底愧疚不已。 He does not think that this ceremony continues to be too long, hits the meaningful glance to the old woman hastily, hints to walk in a big hurry the ceremony, good early to end this his leadership the farce. 他不想这个仪式持续太久,连忙对老妪打眼色,示意快快将仪式走完,好早早结束这场他一手主导的闹剧。 The old woman understands, loud is calling, guides Qin Lie and Ling Yushi carries on the tedious ceremony. 老妪心领神会,大声的吆喝着,引导秦烈和凌语诗进行繁琐仪式。 Is listening to the non- word non- language of people, endures take pity on, sympathy, ridicule that and other vision are shooting, Ling Yushi can only feign indifferently, occasionally must coordinate to give the smile. 听着众人的非言非语,忍受着一道道射来的怜惜、同情、讥讽等目光,凌语诗只能佯装淡然,偶尔还要配合地给出微笑。 ......

But such, silly also has the silly advantage, he will not bully me, will not take care my anything matter, he closes one's eyes also is actually very attractive. If, if he is not silly, if he is normal, even if only the average person, is good to accept......” “这就是命了,怨不得别人,父亲他们为家族牺牲了那么多,也该是……到我为家族牺牲的时候了。秦烈虽然……那样,但傻也有傻的好处,他不会欺负我,也不会管我什么事情,他闭上眼其实也很好看。如果,如果他不傻,如果他正正常常,就算只是普通人,也好接受一点啊……” Ling Yushi is comforting itself secretly, but thought afterward, could not bear from the resentful self-pity gets up. 凌语诗暗自安慰着自己,只是想到后来,还是忍不住自怨自怜起来。 Each women fantasized that her other half of imposing appearance, can protect itself, protects itself, she is only 17 years old, naturally was also no exception, naturally also such to fantasize. 每个女人都幻想自己的另一半英伟不凡,能保护自己,呵护自己,她只有17岁,自然也不能例外,自然也曾经这么幻想过。 But the reality so is unexpectedly brutal...... 可现实竟然如此残酷…… A hand, held her at this time suddenly tightly, this makes Ling Yushi in vain anxious. 一只手,这时忽然紧抓住了她,这让凌语诗徒然紧张起来。 Then she heard the shout of old woman, she realized immediately the ceremony carries on here, she and Qin Lie should to hold hands to continue, she also knows that hand of Qin Lie, should also grasp under the help of old woman. 然后她就听到了老妪的呼喊声,她马上意识到仪式进行到这里,她和秦烈应该要牵手继续下去了,她也就知道秦烈的那只手,应该也是在老妪的帮忙下抓过来的。 Has not had her of body contact with the man, bottom of heart is a little hurried, she presently the hand of Qin Lie is very quickly slender, is very soft, as if grabs her younger sister's hand is more comfortable, this makes her heart live to be astonished however, looks at Qin Lie. 从没有和男子有过肢体接触的她,心底有点慌,她很快现秦烈的手很修长,也很柔软,似乎比她妹妹的手抓着都要舒服很多,这让她心生讶然,不由去看身旁的秦烈。 She presently Qin Lie that pair of wooden pupil deep place, in secret seems revealing any rays of light suddenly, only then leaves such was near, as if can see the fragmentary least bit indistinctly. 她忽然现秦烈那双木然的眸子深处,暗中仿佛流露着什么光芒,也只有离的如此之近了,似乎才能隐约看到零星半点。 That rays of light, lets her inexplicable feeling at ease unexpectedly, the heart that lets her disorder calmed down gradually. 那光芒,竟然让她莫名的心安,让她紊乱的心渐渐静了下来。 „Has felt strange......” “奇怪了……” She whispered secretly, did not control self instead gripped the hand of Qin Lie, but also made an effort slightly, thought unexpectedly felt at ease. 她暗自嘀咕,不自禁的反握住秦烈的手,还稍稍用力,竟愈觉得心安了起来。 „Big brother, what do you mean?” In this time, the Du Jiaolan unique unkind intonation, suddenly passed from outside. “大哥,你这是什么意思啊？”就在此时,杜娇兰特有的刻薄声调,突然从外面传了出来。 Then sees the Du Family three mother and child, brings martial practitioner that Du Haitian is arranging, in addition another two Ling Family clan elder, intruded the great hall together. 然后就见杜家三母子,带着杜海天安排过来的武者,加上另外两个凌家的族老,一同闯入了大堂。 Waits for all person vision to be attracted, Du Jiaolan is cloudy the face, cold voice was saying: „Niece engagement such big matter, doesn't the big brother inform my one unexpectedly?
