Before dawn, Qin Lie quietly went to Yaoshan, and the two leather bags he brought back from the Jihan Mountains had been put back into the cave where he practiced.

A leather bag contains the animal core of the movie and the electric carvings, and more than a dozen ice-stem grasses.

In another leather bag were some spirit stones, elixirs, spiritual materials and other fragments, which originally belonged to those warriors of the Broken Ice Mansion who were killed by him.

Recently, he has been practicing with the help of the beast core and ice stem grass of the Movie Eagle. These two materials have greatly helped him to condense his spiritual power, allowing him to clearly feel the power in the spiritual sea.

He didn't take those spirit stones, elixirs and other things seriously, on the one hand, because he didn't know the true value of those things, and on the other hand, because of the ice stem grass and the movie and the animal core, it is now more effective in his cultivation.

“Entering ceremony…”

Qin Lie picked out some of the elixirs, spirit stones and other objects, put them in a smaller cloth bag, and put them into his clothes.

When he heard Ling Yushi talk about the engagement, the first thing he thought of was refusal, because he didn't want to be confused with the Ling family, and he didn't want to harm Ling Yushi.

After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that this matter was arranged by his grandfather earlier, and his inner resistance became much smaller.

In addition, the head of the Ling family also made it clear that the engagement cannot be true. It is just a pure ceremony and will be lifted in two years.

It doesn't matter if he sees a fake ceremony.

Recently, Ling Yushi has often come to serve, and he has gradually gotten used to it.

After all, he was just a fifteen-year-old boy. He had been withdrawn for so long. There was a beautiful girl like a sister who often came to help him put water and wash clothes, and he also felt very enjoyable.

She would serve Ling Yushi for two years, otherwise she might not be able to continue to enjoy such treatment.

After considering it, Qin Lie no longer rejected it and was ready to go over and take a formality.

He had woken up, although he pretended to be crazy and stupid on weekdays, he was still a little guilty about this engagement ceremony, so he came to Yaoshan to get something on his body in case of emergency.

Generally speaking, before the engagement ceremony, the man not only needs to prepare a betrothal gift, but also needs to bring the elders in the family, but also needs to worship his ancestors first.

Qin Lie has no relatives around him and does not know where his ancestors are, so this step is saved.

He took the things with him, and before dawn, he hurried back to the stone house, washed it carefully, and waited for the Ling family to lead the way.

...

Ling Family Lobby.

"Hey, the eldest lady is so pitiful. She actually wants to get engaged to that fool. Didn't she say the second lady before?"

"Miss Second Miss is very talented and is destined to enter Xingyun Pavilion in the future. There is no way. Grandpa Qin Shan helped the Ling family before, and the head of the family has already promised him. You can't go back on your word, right?"

"Why can't it? Qin Shan has passed away anyway, what does that fool know?"

"The young lady is so beautiful, she actually wants to be a fool. God is unfair!"

"yes."

Many members of the Ling family were scattered in the lobby and whispered, all lamenting her sacrifice because Ling Yushi was worthless.

After Ling Chengzhi and Ling Xuanxuan went to Bingyan City, the head of the Ling family suddenly spoke and announced the engagement between Qin Lie and Ling Yushi. Before everyone could react, they were ready to hurry to complete the ceremony today.

Ling Chengye did not notify or invite the surrounding forces to be friendly. He just explained in the town, obviously he did not intend to do this with great fanfare.

At this moment, many members of the Ling family were invited to gather in the hall, and Ling Kangan, the elder of the Ling family, was also among them.

He is also the only tribe elder to be invited.

There are three elders of the Ling family, namely Ling Kang'an, Ling Xiang and Ling Bo. They are all warriors of the older generation of the Ling family and are the same generation as Ling Chengye's father.

Since the Ling family is close to the Jihan Mountains, the development of warrior power faces many challenges. Sometimes they have to go deep into the mountains to hunt spirit beasts and find spirit grass. Sometimes they will accept the dispatch of the Xingyun Pavilion to fight against hostile forces. Therefore, it is not easy to end up well.

The father of Ling Chengye, the head of the previous generation of Ling family, was killed in the battle with hostile forces.

Ling Kangan, Ling Xiang and Ling Bo, the three clan elders, have suffered severe damage, either their cultivation has been destroyed, or their realm has been regressed, and they usually stay at home and rarely participate in matters within the clan.

Logically speaking, Ling Yushi's engagement event was not only Ling Chengzhi and Ling Xuanxuan, but also the three clan elders should appear.

However, Ling Chengye was dismissed from the beginning and was ready to regret the marriage in the future, so he did not arrange for the other two clan elders to come over, and only let Ling Kangan come and act.

"The people named Du did not come, and the head of the family should not have invited them. Well, this will make it much more purified."

"Hmph! I'm not from our Lingjia Town at all, why are we invited to them?"

"I was so angry when I saw the mother and son!"

Many young people from the Ling family mentioned Du Jiaolan and others in the corner, and their faces were angry and their eyes were cold and shining.

...

An old woman from the Ling family took Qin Lie to the lobby. She didn't know what to say along the way, and she didn't know if Qin Lie could understand. She just said, "Just follow me later, we will arrange everything. The head of the family is careful and has arranged everything for you. Promise, even the betrothal gift you should give first."

The old woman shook the wooden box in her hand at him.

Qin Lie was shocked and pondered for a moment. He smiled foolishly, took out the cloth bag from his arms, placed it on the wooden box in the old woman's hand, indicating that it was his betrothal gift.

The old woman was obviously stunned. She first looked at Qin Lie with a strange look for a while, then she touched the cloth bag very well and weighed it secretly. When she found that the cloth bag should be full of hard objects such as stones, her face was full of self-deprecating.

She shook her head and did not open the cloth bag to check. She just thought: I thought I was smart. It seems that a fool is a fool, and he can be a treasure even if he picks up a stone...

Soon, amid the sound of firecrackers, the old woman brought Qin Lie to the front door of the lobby.

She presented the wooden box in her hand with Qin Lie's cloth bag, then focused on the wooden box, signaling the person who received the betrothal gift that the wooden box had been arranged long ago, and then clicked the cloth bag and shook his head with a smile, then pulled Qin Lie in.

The noisy lobby suddenly became quiet due to Qin Lie's arrival.

Everyone looked at Qin Lie with a blank expression, frowning one by one, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, feeling worthless for Ling Yushi.

Qin Lie saw Ling Yushi at a glance.

She obviously had some careful dressing up.

A bright, close-fitting red dress sets off her figure gracefully and slenderly, with a faint red cheek, making her look gorgeous and extraordinary, and the exquisite crystal jewelry makes her look playful and cute.

The fair and jade-like skin, beautiful face, clear and transparent eyes, and elegant temperament bring together, making her today like a fairy in the Moon Palace, so beautiful that she makes people sway and can't help herself.

However, the more beautiful and charming she is, the more people will sympathize with her.

Everyone looked at the elegant and refined Ling Yushi, and then looked at Qin Lie, who was dull and dull, and felt awkward all over. They sighed and felt more and more uncomfortable.

Of course, not everyone is so friendly. There are also some Ling family women who have bad relationships with Ling Yushi on weekdays and are jealous of her beauty. They whisper and don’t listen to what they say, and their eyes also show sarcasm 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.

He didn't want the ceremony to last too long, so he quickly winked at the old woman and signaled to finish the ceremony quickly so that he could end this farce that he dominated early.

The old woman understood and shouted loudly, guiding Qin Lie and Ling Yushi to perform cumbersome rituals.

Listening to the unspeakable words of the crowd and enduring the gazes of pity, sympathy, sarcasm and other gazes, Ling Yushi could only pretend to be calm and occasionally smiled with cooperation.

...Only she knows the bitterness and sorrow in her heart.

"This is fate, I can't blame others. My father and others sacrificed so much for the family. It's time for me to sacrifice for the family. Although Qin Lie... that, there are also benefits of being stupid. He will not bully me or care about my affairs. He looks very good when he closes his eyes. If, if he is not stupid, if he is normal, even if he is just an ordinary person, it's easier to accept..."

Ling Yushi comforted herself secretly, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but complain.

Every woman fantasizes that her partner is extraordinary and can protect herself and protect herself. She is only seventeen years old, so she is no exception. She has naturally fantasized like this.

But reality is so cruel...

One hand suddenly grabbed her tightly, which made Ling Yushi nervous.

Then she heard the old woman's cry, and she immediately realized that the ceremony was over, and she and Qin Lie should hold hands and continue. She knew that Qin Lie's hand should have been grabbed by the old woman's help.

She had never had physical contact with a man, and she felt a little panicked. She soon found that Qin Lie's hands were very long and soft, and seemed much more comfortable than her sister's hands. This made her feel surprised and couldn't help but look at Qin Lie beside her.

She suddenly found that there seemed to be some light in the depths of Qin Lie's wooden eyes. Only when they were so close, they seemed to be able to vaguely see sporadic spots.

The light actually calmed her for no reason and made her disordered heart gradually calm down.

"It's strange..."

She muttered to herself, and couldn't help but hold Qin Lie's hand, and even exerted a little force, she felt more and more at ease.

"Brother, what do you mean?" At this moment, Du Jueland's mean tone suddenly came out from outside.

Then he 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, break into the lobby together.

When everyone's eyes were attracted, Du Jiaolan looked gloomy and said coldly: "The big brother didn't even notify me of such a big deal about her niece's engagement? Didn't he take me seriously, or did he not think that I was a member of the Ling family at all?"

Before Ling Chengye could explain, she suddenly pointed to the two elders of the Ling family sitting in wheelchairs behind her and said sarcastically: "There are two elders of the clan who fought hard for the Ling family and ended up being disabled. They were not invited to come. Ling Chengye! What do you mean?!"

"Chengye, what's going on?" Ling Xiang, one of the clan elders, also had a stern face and was pushed into the wheelchair by the Du family warrior. "We two old guys have worked hard for the Ling family for the rest of their lives, and in the end they 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 taught a lesson with anger on his face, "Don't forget that we three clan elders have the right to dismiss the clan leader!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Ling Chengye was discolored, but also the members of the Ling family in the lobby were all frightened.
Chapter completed!
