Later, Li Tian followed Huangfu Jing to a quiet courtyard deep in the bamboo forest.
"This is my residence." Huangfu Jing said calmly.
"It's good. It's quiet and elegant. I just like this kind of place." Li Tian said with a smile.
Huangfujing made Li Tian a cup of tea and said, "I'm sorry, someone wants to embarrass you just after you came back today."
Li Tian smiled: "I'm mentally prepared."
He paused and then said: "By the way, Sister Jing, what kind of existence is the Hong family in the Western Regions?"
Li Tian just heard from Huangfu Guang that Mr. Huangfu planned to marry the Hong family of the Western Regions, and the chess piece in the marriage was Huangfu Jing.
"The five major regions of the ancient martial arts world, southeast, northwest, and middle, each region has two leading families. The Hong family is the top two ancient martial arts family in the six provinces of the Western Region, and its overall strength is comparable to our Huangfu family." Huangfu Jing said.
.
"Then, who is the young master of the Hong family who is marrying you?"
"A martial arts genius who is rare to see in a century. He is only twenty-three years old and has already reached the eighth level of physical training."
"Then this person has bad character?"
"Good."
"Then why don't you agree? Uh..." At this moment, Li Tian thought of something: "Is it because of your deceased lover?"
Huangfujing said nothing.
Strictly speaking, she and Li Tian are not lovers.
She never expressed her love to Li Tian, and Li Tian never knew her feelings.
Even, strictly speaking, Huangfujing's feelings for Li Tian were not like love, but just a feeling of dependence mixed with guilt.
She actually relies on Li Tian quite a lot.
She is emotionally lonely due to lack of emotions, and Li Tian is the only person she can talk to about her troubles.
After Li Tian died, she was about to get out of her autistic life and once again closed her once open heart and became an autistic woman again.
Li Tian didn't know what Huangfu Jing was thinking, so he sighed softly.
"The person she loved died and was forced into a marriage by her family. No wonder this woman has always been serious about her words."
At this time, Huangfujing said again: "Whatever you want to eat tonight, I will cook it for you."
"Uh..." Li Tian thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go say hello to your grandfather? Isn't he about to celebrate his seventieth birthday?"
"The relationship between the big family is very cold." Huangfu Jing said calmly.
"All right."
Li Tian didn't say anything more, but smiled and said, "Just do whatever you want."
Huangfu Jing nodded: "There is a natural hot spring behind the bamboo house. You can go there and take a bath."
"Oh." Li Tian's eyes lit up: "You can have this."
"Do you like hot springs?" Huangfujing asked casually.
"I like it very much. Hot springs can not only cleanse the body, but also the soul." Li Tian said casually.
Huangfu Jing was stunned.
In her memory, it seemed that Li Tian had said the same thing.
"What's wrong?" Li Tian asked.
"It's nothing. It's just that a friend of mine said the same thing as you." Huangfu said calmly.
"Well..."
"Okay, you go take a bath in the hot spring. I cook slowly and it may take a long time."
After saying that, Huangfujing entered the kitchen.
Li Tian went around to the back of the bamboo house, and there was indeed a small round hot spring about four or five meters in diameter.
Li Tian didn't jump in in a hurry, he looked around.
The bamboo forest here is dense and provides excellent privacy.
Li Tian then took off his clothes and jumped into the hot spring.
Most of his body was buried under the hot spring water. Li Tian was lying half-ly with his back against the hot spring pool and his eyes closed.
"Comfortable!"
Because it was so comfortable, Li Tian fell asleep without realizing it.
When he heard footsteps and opened his eyes, Huangfu Jing was already beside him.
Li Tian was startled and reflexively covered his private parts.
"I'm not interested." Huangfujing said directly.
Li Tian smiled awkwardly.
"Is the meal ready?" Li Tian asked.
"alright."
Afterwards, Li Tian got dressed and returned to the bamboo house.
The two of them sat across from each other at a small dining table.
There was a table full of dishes on the dining table.
"Speaking of which, I haven't eaten Huangfu Jing's food for a long time."
Li Tian picked up a dish and put it in his mouth.
"Well, it's still so delicious. Speaking of which, the women around me seem to be good at cooking."
Halfway through the meal, a woman dressed as a maid came to the bamboo house.
"Miss, the master of the house wants you to come over." The maid said.
"knew."
Huangfujing remained expressionless.
She followed the maid to a simple and elegant courtyard, and then entered the hall.
There are already many people in the hall.
There was an old man in his seventies sitting on the chair in front of the hall.
It was none other than Huangfu Sheng, the head of the Huangfu family.
He was giving lectures to his tribe.
"The space power of the Kunlun Gate will deplete every twenty-four years. At the end of this year, the Kunlun Gate will experience another decline in power. At that time, it will be the best opportunity to attack the Kunlun Gate. I have decided to participate in this
Action. But none of us know what is on the other side of the Kunlun Gate. It may be a world of immortal cultivation as we imagined, or it may be connected to a black hole that swallows everything, and people will disappear if they enter."
Huangfu Sheng paused, looked majestic, and said: "In view of the danger of this operation, in order to prevent problems before they happen, I have to decide in advance the candidate for the next head of the family. The announcement date will be on my seventieth birthday the day after tomorrow."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall immediately started whispering among themselves.
This is a big deal for the Huangfu family.
Everyone also knows that the choice of the head of the family is nothing more than the three brothers Huangfu Guang, Huangfu Yun and Huangfu Feng.
At this time, Huangfu Sheng suddenly looked at Huangfu Jing again and said lightly: "Jingjing, I heard that you brought your boyfriend back?"
"Yes." Huangfu said quietly.
"Which family is he a young master from?" Huangfu Sheng asked again.
"According to your standards, he should be just a commoner." Huangfu Jing said calmly.
Huangfujing did not mean to belittle Li Tian.
These reclusive families in the ancient martial arts world are all very arrogant and noble. Not to mention a second-generation rich man who is almost bankrupt, even Lin Dalu, the richest man in Jiangcheng, they may not take seriously.
"Common people..." Huangfu Sheng said with a cold expression: "Then he must have some special talents?"
Huangfuguang said quickly: "Dad, he defeated Wang Meng in the ring today."
"Then can he beat Hong Lei?" Huangfu Sheng asked again.
Huangfu Guang choked up for a moment.
Huangfu Yun and Huangfu Feng both had chuckles on their faces.
"Dad, please don't embarrass me, brother. How many young people under the age of thirty in this world are Hong Lei's opponents?" Huangfu said.
"Yes. Hong Lei reached the eighth level of physical training before the age of 24. This talent is second only to Long Yan of the Long Family in the North Region and Chu Tianjiao of the Chu Family in the Southern Region. He is one of the three young geniuses in the ancient martial arts world. Put one
Compared with Hong Lei, ordinary people are too difficult to deal with." Huangfu Feng also chuckled.
Huangfu Guang was a little angry.
His two younger brothers were speaking for him in name, but in fact they were insinuating that his daughter was disobedient and would rather find a loser than marry Hong Lei, regardless of the interests of the family.
At this time, Huangfu Jing suddenly said calmly: "He can't beat Hong Lei, but he can make me happy."
"Hmph." Huangfu Sheng snorted coldly: "Some time ago, you were saying that only the man named Li Tian could make you happy. How long has it been since you changed the person again?"
The crowd roared with laughter.
Huangfu quietly bit his lip and said nothing.
"Dad, Li Tian, he is dead." Huangfuguang said again.
Although he was a little angry at his daughter's willfulness, as a father, he still wanted to protect his daughter reflexively.
"People who are useless will die when they die." Huangfu Sheng said.
Snapped!
Huangfujing suddenly punched and smashed a vase in the hall.
Many people's faces changed drastically.
Many family elders are present, and it is very unlucky for everyone to break vases.
"Huangfu Jing, what do you want to do?" Huangfu Sheng frowned slightly and asked.
"Apologise!" Huangfu Jing said calmly.
"What?"
"Apologize."
"I apologize? Why?" Huangfu Sheng said calmly.
Huangfujing's eyes were wet: "Li Tian is not a 'useless person', at least to me, he is very important. He is gentler than any of you. To me, he is more useful than any of you."
