When Xiao Ying was still alive, Xiao Lie's status in the Xiao Clan was unmatched. Even the head of the family at that time was very respectful to him. The reason was obvious, that is, Xiao Ying's amazing talent destined him to be Xiao Ying in the future.
The strongest man of his generation, in this world where profound strength is respected, Xiao Lie, as Xiao Ying's father, is naturally respected by everyone in the Xiao family. But Xiao Ying was assassinated and died, and Xiao Lie's only grandson, Xiao Che, was
Although Xiao Lie is currently the strongest man in Liuyun City with his disabled Xuanmai, but his son died, his grandson was disabled, and he has no successor, who will be afraid of him? His status in the Xiao Clan has also plummeted.
Xiao Lie was not angry. He was used to the cynicism of these people. He smiled calmly and said, "Thank you for coming. I will definitely drink a few more drinks at the banquet."
"I've already paid my respects, so there's no need to drink. My eldest grandson, Xiao Chengzhi, has just broken through to the seventh level of the Elementary Profound Realm. He has been wasted a lot of time here. I must stabilize him personally right away." Third Elder Xiao Ze said as he said,
The body also stood up.
"Chengzhi has already broken through the seventh level of the Elementary Profound Realm? He has achieved such an achievement at the age of seventeen. This son's future is really limitless. Third Elder, no wonder your face is so red today. It's so gratifying!" Fourth Elder Xiao Cheng also stood up and said,
He congratulated the third elder with a surprised look on his face.
No matter how well-mannered Xiao Lie is, there is still a hint of anger in his expression. These four people called him brothers back then, and they showed respect and fawning from time to time. However, since Xiao Ying passed away and Xiao Che was confirmed to have disabled profound veins, their treatment of him has changed.
Their attitude changed drastically, and now they basically ignored him. They usually showed off their sons and grandsons in front of him countless times, but now, at his grandson's wedding hall, they were still so unscrupulous in their cynicism, using
The achievements of his grandson forcefully tear away the scars in his heart that he least wants to touch.
The sudden change in the atmosphere made the master of ceremonies Xiao De sweat profusely. He quickly skipped all the remaining procedures and directly shouted in a high voice: "The bride and groom are sent into the bridal chamber... All distinguished guests, please come to the banquet!"
With the joyful sound of gongs and drums lingering in their ears, Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue walked into Xiao Che's small courtyard together after paying homage to each other under the gaze of people. The bridal chamber was the one where Xiao Che usually lived.
The room has been decorated in bright red, with a big red carpet embroidered with dragons, phoenixes and auspicious clouds, large double happiness characters, red silk and red ribbons all over the room, and two big red wedding candles shining brightly on the dazzling gold lamp stand.
The golden lacquer body of the candle is carved with soaring dragons and phoenixes; the flickering candlelight reflects the almost floor-length golden glazed curtain, filling the room with a hazy and dreamy color, isolating the wedding room from the outside world, and the gleaming light is dazzling.
Xia Qingyue was helped by her maid Xia Dongling to sit on the bed. Then Xia Dongling silently exited and closed the door. The room was suddenly silent, and she could only vaguely hear her own breathing.
Xia Qingyue sat there quietly, silently. Xiao Che did not approach her, but stood at the door, staring in the direction outside the door, his eyes filled with haze.
"My grandfather was bullied so much, and it was during your wedding. I felt very uncomfortable, right?"
In his ears, a soft and cold voice came... Xiao Che's expression changed. Xia Qingyue actually took the initiative to talk to him, which surprised him, although her words were quite harsh.
Xiao Che turned his gaze sideways, hesitated and said, "Take off the phoenix crown. That thing is too heavy and will be very uncomfortable if worn for a long time."
According to Tianxuan Continent's wedding customs, the bride's phoenix crown must be removed by the groom himself, but she was "frozen" when he tried to help her before. Xiao Che, who is proud and arrogant, is absolutely unwilling to get into trouble again. Of course, He also never thought that Xia Qingyue would really be willing to let him help take down the Phoenix Crown.
Xia Qingyue paused slightly, then raised her bare hands, and the phoenix crown with pearl tassels was silently removed by her. Suddenly, a breathtakingly beautiful face appeared in Xiao Che's sight. Her beautiful eyes raised , the moment he met her eyes, Xiao Che's eyes suddenly became dull for a moment... These were a pair of indescribably beautiful eyes, as if all the quiet and rippling blue waves in the world were condensed without reservation. In the dreamlike eyes in front of her, even the most brilliant painter in the world and the most gorgeous words cannot describe and explain them. Her skin is as fat as jade, and it is like snow and frost, and her face is as crystal clear as jade. In the dimly lit room, it is still crystal clear and snow-white, her fragrant lips are like the most delicate petals in the world, and her exquisitely beautiful nose seems to be carved from the most beautiful white jade in the world, towering over her innate nobility and pride.
"Sure enough...well-deserved..." Xiao Che murmured, looking at her eyes without blinking or shifting for a moment. Those beautiful eyes were like an abyss with endless gravity, attracting him. Consciousness and thoughts continue to fall into it, making it difficult to extricate themselves.
Although he and Xia Qingyue had been engaged since childhood, except for a few occasional glances when they were young, this was the first time he saw Xia Qingyue's true face after the age of ten... Because Xia Qingyue rarely left the boudoir, Xiao Che, who knew that his profound veins were disabled and was always filled with inferiority and self-pity, rarely left the Xiao Clan. He only occasionally heard about Xia Qingyue's unparalleled splendor from other people's words when she grew up. A vague image of beauty has been sketched in my longing.
But when he finally saw Xia Qingyue's true face, the beautiful figure he had always imagined in his heart disappeared in an instant. Because Xia Qingyue's beauty completely exceeded his imagination, and he could not describe what kind of peerless beauty it was. Feng Hua, even Xiao Che, who had memories of two lifetimes, was confused for a short time when facing this face.
Xia Qingyue is known as the most beautiful woman in Liuyun City, but even if someone says that she is the most beautiful woman in the Blue Wind Empire, Xiao Che will never doubt it. He cannot imagine what kind of beauty can surpass what is in front of him. The most beautiful scenery. And the girl in front of me is still the same age as me, only sixteen years old. Girls of this age have not yet had time to bloom with all their beauty. If it takes a few years, it is even more unimaginable that Xia Qingyue's charm will be What a realm...perhaps, it's so beautiful that it's almost illusory.
In the small Liuyun City, such a girl who could win the world with every look and smile could appear, and this girl became his wife today... Xiao Che could not control the feeling of deep unreality. feel.
"But you are not exactly the same as the rumors and what I imagined."
Xia Qingyue stood up, and her extremely moving body curves were revealed instantly as she stood up. She approached Xiao Che, her eyes were like water, and her lips were slightly parted: "It is rumored that your profound veins are disabled and you can only stay in this world for the rest of your life. Level one of the Elementary Profound Realm. As a result, your constitution is weak and your character has become inferior and cowardly. You rarely go out to meet people. It seems that your only playmates are your little aunt Xiao Lingxi and my brother Yuanba. The only good thing is appearance."
"Your profound energy is not only weak, but also extremely turbid. It is true that your profound veins are disabled. But the rumors about your temperament seem to be completely wrong."
Xia Qingyue stopped less than three steps in front of Xiao Che, and looked directly into his eyes with a pair of beautiful eyes: "Although you are deliberately hiding it, there is clearly a sense of arrogance in your expression. , this has always been the case from the first time I saw you until now, which is completely opposite to the rumored inferiority complex. Previously at my house, I used my mysterious power to freeze your arm, and your reaction was so calm that I was surprised. If If your arm was not frozen for a moment, I would even wonder if my Xuan Gong failed. Just now in the auditorium, you and your grandfather Xiao Lie were ridiculed on such an important occasion, but you only had There was a moment of anger, and then all disappeared, and there was no abnormal fluctuation in the expression or heart rate... This kind of state of mind is extremely difficult for even a middle-aged Lingxuan realm expert to achieve!"
"Even when you look at me, your eyes are obsessed but never distracted!"
"It is a fact that your profound veins are disabled, but your true character and state of mind have been hidden from everyone." Xia Qingyue whispered, her eyes always looking at Xiao Che's eyes. These eyes were as deep as boundless. Boundless.
Xiao Che was suddenly shocked.
As Xia Qingyue approached, an intoxicating girl's scent overflowed his nose, but Xiao Che had no intention of smelling it carefully, and his heart was completely filled with shock. Indeed, he is indeed very proud now, no matter where he is. This is true when facing anyone, because when he was in Cangyun Continent, he could stand alone against all the heroes in the world. Any one of these heroes was a supreme being that the entire Liuyun City could not compete with. Although his current strength is sluggish. To the extreme, but his character will never change because of this. This kind of arrogance is definitely not something he deliberately displays, but appears naturally. His current physique and situation make him work hard to hide this sense of arrogance.
But Xia Qingyue directly explained all these and even his state of mind!
Along the way from the Xia family to the Xiao family, he had always thought that Xia Qingyue was completely dismissive of him. After all, one was a pearl in the sky and the other was a piece of dirt despised by countless people. This was a normal thing. But he did not expect that she He was actually observing him from beginning to end, but he didn't notice it at all.
Xiao Che's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Xia Qingyue. The eyes in front of him were not only extremely beautiful, but also so clear that they seemed to be able to see through the soul. Her thoughts were also so meticulous that he couldn't help but be surprised...
You know! Xiao Che has two lives of memories, two lives of experience, and a state of mind that is unwavering in the face of the world's heroes and death! He was actually seen through by her like this!
Is she really just a girl who just turned sixteen!?
How could a sixteen-year-old girl have such demonic eyes and thoughts?
Xiao Che even had some doubts as to whether this Xia Qingyue had traveled back in time like him!
"Are you holding back?" Xia Qingyue said slowly.
"Forbearance?" Xiao Che showed a seemingly self-deprecating smile: "Maybe forget it. But it is a fact that my profound veins are disabled. In this Tianxuan Continent, having disabled profound veins means that I will only be at the bottom of being looked down upon by others for the rest of my life. , is there a difference between being truly cowardly and inferior, or being silent and forbearing?"
Bear it? Bear it! The Xiao Che of yesterday is absolutely the same as what Xia Qingyue has always heard! But no matter how smart Xia Qingyue is, she would never have thought that the Xiao Che of today has a whole lifetime more life than the Xiao Che of yesterday. Memory! Temperament and mood also change accordingly.
Xia Qingyue narrowed her beautiful eyes, and suddenly raised her soft jade-like palm, stretched out two fingers, and pointed at Xiao Che's chest. Suddenly, a cold but not cold breath spread from Xiao Che's chest,
Until it spread to his whole body. Just when Xiao Che was about to ask what she was doing, the cold feeling on his body disappeared in an instant. Xia Qingyue also retracted her jade hand and slightly moved her petal-like lips: "Your profound veins are indeed
You are disabled, but it is not a congenital disability, it should be that you were attacked when you were very young, and your profound veins were directly destroyed by the power that attacked you!"
