"Husband..." When Sun Yao called out these two words, her cheeks turned red and she lowered her head shyly.
Lin Bai responded softly: "Each one has its own merits. Zhanshan City is built on the mountain, with sword peaks directly inserted into the bullfight. It is majestic and magnificent; Qingshui City stands by the water, surrounded by the confluence of three rivers, with water pavilions, pavilions, and poetic rivers and lakes."
Sun Yao smiled and said: "I wanted to go to Qingshui City to see it before, but unfortunately my father kept urging us to practice hard and wouldn't let us leave. Later, I learned that I would marry to Qingshui City in the future, and I was full of love for Qingshui City.
I’m looking forward to it, I heard it’s beautiful there, right?”
Lin Bai said lonely: "Who would think that their hometown is not beautiful?"
After passing Wangnanguan Pass, the Lord of Zhanshan City specially left the carriage to send Lin Bai and Sun Yao back to the mansion.
Zhanshan City is a city founded by the Sun family. The current head of the Sun family in Zhanshan City is also the city owner of Zhanshan City.
The Sun family controls all taxes in Zhanshan City and runs various businesses. It is the first family in Zhanshan City.
But under the Sun family, there are many families, sects, and gangs mixed together.
As Zhou Xi said, the Sun family in Zhanshan City is like the emperor within the dynasty, possessing the power to say whatever they say.
In addition, the Sun family has the support of the Zhulong Sect behind them. Even if many forces in Zhanshan City intend to usurp the throne, they will probably have to weigh the strength of the Zhulong Sect.
There is a courtyard within the main courtyard of the Sun family, called "Fuyao Courtyard", which is Sun Yao's residence.
The yard is not big, but it is well-equipped with pavilions, winding corridors, arch bridges, flowing water, green plants, and famous flowers.
Under the arrangement of Lord Zhanshan, Lin Bai and Zhou Xi moved into Fuyao Yard.
It seemed that the Lord of Zhanshan City really wanted to regard Lin Bai as his own!
Back in the courtyard, Sun Yao made arrangements and asked Zhou Xi to go down and rest.
Zhou Xiru was granted amnesty. During these days following Lin Bai, he had suffered so much worry and fear that his spirit could not relax for a moment.
In Lin Bai's room, Sun Yao came to the bedside, looked at Lin Bai who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and recuperating, with a resolute face, and said softly: "Husband... do you need to wash up?"
"If you can't say this, you don't have to call me this. Although you and I have a marriage contract and a betrothal gift, we haven't married you yet. I can't bear the word 'husband'." Lin Bai opened his eyes slightly.
, his eyes were full of exhaustion.
"Besides, you see how I am now. I no longer have the glory I once had. I fled from Qingshui City to Zhanshan City and took refuge in Zhanshan City. Thanks to the Lord of the City, he remembered his kindness back then and was willing to take me in. It's already a great blessing. Now I don't even dare to expect to marry the eldest lady.
Qin and Jin are good."
Sun Yao sighed: "Husband, please don't say that. As my father said, Zhanshan City received the betrothal gift from Qingshui City, and Zhanshan City and Qingshui City have been friends for many years, and my father has always put benevolence and righteousness first, and loyalty first.
, since he promised something, he will definitely not go back on it."
"No matter what happens to my husband, whether he loses his limbs or his head, as long as he is still alive, my father will not withdraw the engagement."
Lin Bai was speechless, but he said with great admiration: "Your Majesty, City Lord, you are so righteous."
Sun Yao sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes wandering, and she sighed softly: "Hey, my father is like this. He is extremely rigid and stubborn. As long as he is determined about something, even nine cows can't pull him back."
"When my father went to Qingshui City to visit your father, the two of them drank too much and made a marriage contract between you and me."
"Later, when I returned to Zhanshan City, I asked my father, what kind of person is Qing Luo?"
"He said he had never seen it. Every time he went there, you were in seclusion. Even the maids and servants in your house rarely saw you."
"I was very angry at the time. Is he going to hand over the life of his biological daughter into the hands of others for a person he has never even met?"
"But my father said... he and your father are close friends of life and death. Although he has never met you, he knows the character of your family. You will not be a weak person. Just rely on your hard work day and night.
Practicing martial arts also shows that you are different from the dandies from other families."
"Later, I sent someone secretly to Qingshui City to inquire about you. It turned out that your reputation in Qingshui City was quite good... Later, I was not so resistant to this marriage."
"But seeing you today is a little different from the information I got from you back then."
Sun Yao looked at Lin Bai and said seriously.
Lin Bai frowned and asked, "What's the difference?"
Sun Yao covered her mouth and smiled, with beautiful eyes: "The people I sent to Qingshui City to inquire about you came back and said... You have a face like jade, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a majestic appearance. You are a famous and beautiful young man in Qingshui City. I don't know how many people there are."
Women all regard you as the lover of their dreams."
"When I saw it today, it seemed that it was not as bad as the legend..."
At this point, Sun Yao stopped talking and smiled slightly: "It's okay. He's not as handsome as the legend says, and he's not that ugly either. It's pretty good."
Lin Bai gave a speechless smile and shook his head lonely.
Sun Yao felt that she seemed to have touched the bitterness in Lin Bai's heart, so she hurriedly smiled and comforted: "Okay, I don't dislike you."
"I despise myself, okay?" Lin Bai looked up at the ceiling and said lonely and melancholy: "Look at me now... I look like a useless person!"
"I heard that there is a precious medicine in Zhanshan City that can reshape the body, called Ten Thousand Qi Purple Lotus Seeds, right?"
Lin Bai immediately asked Sun Yao.
Sun Yao nodded slightly, looking quite proud: "This is the foundation of Zhanshan City. It is a rare treasure in the world. It can bring human flesh and bones to life, and it can even regenerate broken limbs."
Lin Bai sighed earnestly and said: "It's a pity that the Lord of Zhanshan City will not give this kind of precious medicine to me. Qingshui City was destroyed, and I am like this. I am half a useless person, without any potential, let alone
You would waste such a precious medicine for a loser like me."
Seeing the loneliness on Lin Bai's face, Sun Yao felt a little uncomfortable and said softly: "The Ten Thousand Qi Purple Lotus Seeds are indeed very precious. Even among the Sun family's warriors, there are only those who are highly respected or have made outstanding contributions to the family.
Only after a person is injured can he be eligible to apply for a Purple Lotus Seed of Ten Thousand Qi."
"But after the war, Zhanshan City has passed this disaster safely, and after we get married, my father can't bear to see me marry a useless person. Then I will beg my father for a Wanqi Purple Heart.
It shouldn’t be difficult to get lotus seeds.”
Lin Bai looked at Sun Yao with a smile, and found that there was something different about this woman. She was generous, kind-hearted, gentle and considerate, and considerate. She was just like a lotus flower that had never been contaminated by the mud of the world, without any deep scheming.
