"Take me somewhere?" Li Ling felt something was wrong, "Where are you going? Is there something you can't talk about here?"

Luo Qingtong shook her head and said: "I'll tell you when we get there. It's not far away. It's in our manor. Let's go." After that, he let Rachel lead the way.

Li Ling became anxious, there were still six minutes left... But since she was in their manor, who would be assaulted by her? This was so weird! Could it be that an expert in the world had secretly sneaked into the Luo family manor and wanted to do something to her?

Is Luo Qingtong acting inappropriately?

Following Luo Qingtong, he left the lobby of the foreign-style building and took another elevator downstairs. As soon as he got out of the elevator, Li Ling looked around and felt that he had arrived at another place: a Chinese-style garden.

If when he entered the Luo Family Manor earlier, the garden villa, wrought iron fences, and Baroque mansions all showed Western charm, but now, what appeared in front of him was the scenery of a Suzhou garden.

At that time, it was past nine o'clock in the evening, the cool summer night breeze was blowing, the bright moon was shining high, the stars were all over the sky, insects were chirping in the garden, and the fragrance of flowers was overwhelming. This night was very charming, especially when there was a peerless beauty beside me.

Looking at Miss Luo walking in front of him, with a graceful figure and a slender waist, Li Ling really felt a little drunk.

When they entered a crescent gate in the garden, Rachel, who was leading the way, stopped and waited for Luo Qingtong and Li Ling.

"Richie, please go back to your room and rest. It's absolutely safe here. You don't have to worry." Luo Qingtong stepped forward and said to Rachel.

Rachel nodded and said, "Of course, but do you want me to send Li out later?"

When she spoke, her eyes were filled with a mysterious aura, which was very conspicuous under the illumination of the street lamp. Li Ling vaguely felt that something was really wrong, and he was completely confused as to what was wrong.

Luo Qingtong turned around and looked at Li Ling who looked confused and said: "No need, he is a master, he doesn't need you to escort him, just go back first."

Rachel also looked at Li Ling, smiled at him, walked away lightly, and disappeared into the night.

Li Ling stumbled, and Rachel's eyes just looked at him, clearly saying "May God bless you"!

"Mr. Luo." Li Ling was silent all the way, and now he spoke up, "A man and a woman alone in the middle of the night, don't you think this is a bit ambiguous and inappropriate?"

"Haha, I didn't even think that you, a man, are so coquettish?" Luo Qingtong smiled gracefully, "This is my Luo family's place, I am the master here, I take guests to visit our garden

,What’s wrong with this?”

"I mean, this night is so charming, and there is an even more charming beauty. Aren't you afraid that I might be ready to make a move?" Li Ling stretched as he spoke and yawned.

Normally at this time, he would have already fallen asleep, but tonight, he was accompanying the goddess in front of the moonlight and flowers. This life encounter was truly incredible.

"Of course I'm not afraid. A man who can risk his own life to protect me shouldn't do anything wrong to me, right? Besides, this is my home. Maybe not even a fly can fly in or escape." Luo Qingtong shrugged.

He smiled and said, "Besides, Master Li, do you think I am really that weak and can be bullied by others?"

Li Ling was startled. Looking at her figure and limbs, Miss Luo really couldn't tell that she was a practicing practitioner. However, her slender waist was so slender that she looked like an ordinary person. Bai Gan'er really couldn't achieve this.

kind of situation.

Did this Miss Luo have practiced a kind of internal martial arts that can evade the breath and shape it?

"But..." Li Ling stared at the goddess like Chang'e under the moon, and said calmly, "Mr. Luo, do you think you can trick me no matter what traps you lay or ambushes?"

Luo Qingtong was slightly shuddered, then smiled for a while and said: "Since you think so, you can leave now, I won't keep you."

"No, I said, if I can help you, I will definitely help you." Li Ling said and looked at the time. There were still four minutes left. The weird, wrong feeling made him more and more uneasy.

rather,

"Since you asked me to come and ask me to do something for you, why wouldn't I do it? However, I will do it according to my ability. If I can't do it, even if the gods descend to earth and the King of Hell urges me, I will do it.

I won’t give in.”

"Then why don't you come with me and give it a try? Come and see and experience it?" Luo Qingtong smiled again and shook her head towards the crescent door.

Li Ling looked at the garden buildings in Crescent Gate and said softly: "Mr. Luo, I want to ask you a question. If you think it's convenient, just answer it. If it's not convenient, I won't force you."

"OK, just ask."

"You are only twenty-one years old, why did you get engaged so early?"

Luo Qingtong seemed to understand Li Ling's subtext, smiled slightly, and after a while, sighed softly and said: "You said you would never give in, this is your position. However, everyone has their own position.

You can surrender without giving in to the situation, but I can't. For the sake of my family and my destiny, I must do this."

"Oh? Are you forced?" Li Ling was stunned.

"Well, maybe you can say it like this, but I... don't know if it can really be said like this." Luo Qingtong was a little uncomfortable with her words.

Li Ling also understood her expression and said: "In other words, even if the situation forces you, you can't say that you have no feelings for your fiancé. In other words, you are not disgusted with marrying him."

Luo Qingtong shook her head slightly, but said nothing. She didn't know whether to deny it or to acknowledge Li Ling's words.

"If you don't like him, then get away and take a step back. There may be a better solution. Exchange your own happiness for your so-called responsibility and destiny. A girl with a high IQ like you is also a stupid girl!

"

Li Ling looked at his watch as he spoke, calculating every minute and second, "Besides, if you leave, you will definitely be able to find a better solution, and even find someone who can do a better job than your fiancé."

"No, there is no better way, no more suitable person." Luo Qingtong closed her eyes, shook her head, then opened her eyes again, her eyes were full of helpless desolation, "There are only four years, at least

In these four years, there was absolutely no better way and I had to do this."

"Are you sure that if you marry him, they will have a way to help you resolve the fate of your Luo family?" Li Ling looked at her closely and said.

"We can at least give it a try." Luo Qingtong nodded, with a determined expression on his face, "Our ancestors have been searching for four hundred years and have only found nineteen copies! In four years, we can still

How many copies were found? But they also found thirteen copies!

"If I marry him, our family will have thirty-two "Books of Lu Ban"! Of course, there may be duplicate versions, but this always makes my Luo family see the light!

"Then, in the past four years, as long as we look for the remaining four or five books, will the chance and probability of success be much greater? Maybe, our Luo family can really resolve the fate of a thousand years of divine punishment!

"Master Li, do you understand now? Do you think I still have a choice? Can I still take a step back to expand my horizons? Can my happiness still be in my own hands?"

It turned out that her fiancé’s family, the Ye family, was also looking for thirty-six copies of "The Book of Lu Ban"!

Li Ling's heart skipped a beat. If the Luo family was looking for the "Book of Lu Ban" to solve their fate, then why were the Ye family looking for the "Book of Lu Ban"?

Could it be that they are trying to find the solution to the Luban Curse? They want to find the method for the next volume of "The Return of All Dharmas" from the thirty-six "Books of Luban"?!

Master Liao Shan had told himself that if the thirty-six books of "Book of Lu Ban" returned to the world, it might bring chaos to the world, or even put him in a state of eternal disaster... He had the obligation to prevent the sorcerers from searching for all the thirty-six books of "Book of Lu Ban".

"Luban Book"!

The Luo family spent four hundred years and only found nineteen copies. Maybe they could turn a blind eye, because it was really slim for them to find them all.

However, the Ye family also found thirteen copies!

The Luoye family together, even if there are duplicate versions, there are estimated to be thirty copies of "The Book of Luban"!!

There are only five or six books left from thirty-six books!!!

Li Ling rubbed his nose to calm himself down. However, he found that he was caught in an inexplicable contradiction - it was a choice between the two sides.

On one side is the goddess, on the other side is responsibility and one's own safety.

Alas! The goddess is about to marry someone else. What choices should I make here? Since the Ye family is also looking for "The Book of Lu Ban", I'm sorry. I swear, you won't get together thirty-six copies!

"Is this the only way? Is it certain that we can only find thirty-six "Books of Lu Ban"?" Li Ling thought for a while, but finally couldn't bear it.

Miss Luo, she seems to be really forced to marry into the Ye family!

If you don’t like him, why should you marry him? I don’t understand! Am I really too young and not mature enough?

"There is indeed another way, but that way is even more slim. We have never taken action on it. That's why I need you to help my Luo family. For this, I can pay you any price -"

"If I don't want anything, I just hope that you don't marry a man you don't like, is that okay?!" Li Ling asked with his chest raised, "What is the other way? As long as it's not to find all the "Book of Lu Ban", I'll help you

Got it!

"But please think about yourself carefully. Are you someone who can marry anyone you want?! You are not a Bodhisattva or a Holy Mother. Why should you sacrifice yourself!

"Miss Luo, in life, everyone has their own destiny and destiny. The poor have their splendor and joy, and the rich have their sorrow and troubles.

"You think some people have a miserable fate, but in fact when they are drinking and singing, they may think that they are the happiest and happiest people in the world!

"You think some people are happy, but in fact, when they miss a beautiful fate and miss their true love, they will definitely feel sad and melancholy their whole life!

"So, do you really think that your family has a miserable life and a miserable fate? When they live in a luxurious house, ride in a luxury car and yacht, and their disciples are respectful and obedient, do they think of how unfortunate they are? And what about them?

Do you think that you dug the grave for your marriage so that they can continue to enjoy that kind of 'misfortune'?

"Mr. Luo, why do you want to let yourself lose your splendor, your happiness and joy? Have you ever thought about it, maybe when you are happy and joyful, your family will also gain happiness and joy. They

Maybe there will be a real turnaround for your destiny and luck!"

"I know what you are talking about, but my father only has four years left! If you were me, what would you do?" Luo Qingtong said, looking up at the stars, the moonlight shining on her body, as if

Crystal clear jade carving,

"I have never lived for myself since I was born. Our daughter of the Luo family can only live or even sacrifice for the family's destiny and foundation!

"I am nothing, I have nothing. I can only go forward bravely for the sake of my family and the men of the Luo family... This is my life!

"There are only four years left. For my family, for my father, and for the Ye family's thirteen "Books of Lu Ban", what reason do I have to consider my own happiness!

"Even if I ask you to help our Luo family, the chance of that other method is too slim. It is ten thousand times slimmer than searching for "The Book of Lu Ban"! So, at the moment, I can only consider the "Book of Lu Ban" first!

"So, I can't agree to your condition - I can only marry Ye Xiao! Even if I meet you earlier, I will still insist on this, because I have no choice, I do not have the right and opportunity to grasp my own happiness.

sorry!"

Having said this, she lowered her head and looked at Li Ling, "But, Li Ling, why don't you give us your "Luban Book" and "Luban Mantra"? I can pay you more money, as long as it's not...

…I can give you everything you want—”

"Then what is the other way?" Li Ling interrupted her and looked at the time, the last two minutes.

"The treasure place is Zhang Xianzhong's treasure cave. There is a heavenly book buried in Zhang Xianzhong's treasure cave. That heavenly book can directly resolve the thousand-year life disaster of my Luo family."
