Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, I saw that the mountain was not as short as what I had seen in the distance before. Looking carefully, this mountain was not lower than the snow-capped mountain that the three of them had passed before.
With emotion, the three of them had no intention of staying at all, and walked along a stone path in front of the mountain, all the way towards the mountain.
At this time, night had fallen, and the mountain road was slightly dark, but it did not delay everyone's journey. Following the wisps of starlight, the three of them quickly arrived at the mountainside without stopping.
I originally thought that in order to reach the Hanlin Sect, I had to go to the top of the mountain, but later I found out that the Hanlin Sect was not on the top of the mountain, but on the mountainside.
After learning about this, Ye Han no longer had the determination to climb the mountain, so he found a clean place to sit down and rest.
Seeing this, Leng Ling had no choice but to go over to accompany him. Although Lin Jie wanted to get home quickly, seeing that both of them were acting like this, he had to stop temporarily and wait for the two of them to go up the mountain together.
Although this place was already on the mountainside, it was still some distance away from the Cold Forest Sect. For this reason, the three of them just rested for a while and continued walking deeper into the mountainside.
Soon, the three of them came to a relatively flat place. Looking at it, although it was on the mountainside, it was obviously close to the top of the mountain.
Under the leadership of Lin Jie, the three of them arrived outside a house crowded with buildings. Looking up, they saw a plaque carved from ice appearing above the gate of the house.
It depicts the three characters "Hanlin Sect" vigorously and forcefully..
The three of them entered the door wall and took a brief look at the surrounding scene. Although it was not as magnificent as a wealthy family, it was still a manor surrounded by beautiful scenery.
"This is the main hall of my Hanlin Sect. Come in with me, everyone!"
He glanced back at Ye Han and Leng Ling, who were constantly sizing up the surroundings. Then he pointed at a particularly tall building not far away and smiled.
The two of them didn't say anything after hearing this, so they followed up. Under Lin Jie's guidance, the three of them arrived outside the main hall together.
Although it was late at night, the Hanlin Sect's main hall was brightly lit. For this reason, the arrival of the three people quickly attracted the attention of those inside.
At the right time, a young man walked out of the main hall, took a brief look at Leng Ling and Ye Han, and then raised his hand to Lin Jie and said, "Elder brother is back?"
Ye Han and the other two naturally had no idea about this, but after hearing what the young man said, Lin Jie immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? If I didn't come back, would you still be able to see me?"
Hearing Lin Jie's words, the young man couldn't help laughing. Seeing that Ye Han and Leng Ling were also laughing at him, the young man just smiled awkwardly at Lin Jie and said, "Elder brother, don't
Can you make fun of me as soon as you come back?"
"Hahahaha! I'm not joking with you. You're joking with yourself, okay? Don't you think what I just said makes sense?"
Seeing this, Ye Han and the two had to stop their laughter at the right time, and soon they heard Lin Jie burst out laughing, and then asked the young man.
Seeing the two brothers teasing each other like this, Ye Han and the other two couldn't even say a word, so they could only stand there in a daze, waiting for the two brothers' teasing to end.
As if aware of his rudeness, Lin Jie just came to his senses, and immediately smiled awkwardly at the two of them and said, "Sorry, I almost forgot you two!"
In response to Lin Jie's confession, Ye Han and the other two could only smile slightly and remained silent. The young man seemed to have just come back to his senses and asked Lin Jie in confusion: "Who are these two?
"
"I'm Ye Han, this is my wife, Leng Ling!" After hearing the young man's question, Ye Han introduced himself first without waiting for Lin Jie to answer.
Hearing this, Leng Ling could only nod towards the young man and said: "Now that we, husband and wife, are traveling here, we see that the sky has turned dark, so we want to stay here for the night!"
"You two, don't be polite. The three of you and I have been together for so long. After all, we can be considered friends. If you stay at a friend's house, why not stay overnight!"
Hearing Leng Ling's polite words, Lin Jie hurriedly stood up and immediately grabbed Ye Han, pretending that the two of them had a good relationship, and then smiled and said.
In this regard, Ye Han naturally could only cooperate for a while, and then he smiled awkwardly and said: "Since Brother Lin said this, then my husband and I have nothing to say. In this case, let's talk about it here.
Stay overnight and start your journey tomorrow!"
Hearing what Ye Han said, Lin Jie was naturally happy, and immediately smiled and said: "In that case, please come in, please!"
They both nodded and followed Lin Jie into the main hall, while the young man walked in the other direction.
Entering the main hall, Ye Han couldn't help but look around again, and even then couldn't help but compare it with the sect he once belonged to.
Although the two are not in the same place, the basic structure is not much different. For this reason, Ye Han can't help but recall every bit of his previous experience in the sect.
"Father, the child is back!" At this moment, Lin Jie resolutely led the two of them to the center of the hall. He was seen bowing his hands to a middle-aged old man sitting in the hall, quite respectfully.
said.
Seeing this, Ye Han no longer dwelled on the past, and hurriedly stepped forward to stand with Leng Ling. Soon he followed Lin Jie's lead, bowed his hands to the people in the hall, and introduced himself.
Fan.
"Oh? So you are all descendants of the Hanqi family?" After hearing the identities of Ye Han and Leng Ling, the person who named them stood up, then looked at the two of them, and then looked surprised.
asked happily.
After hearing this, the two of them could only nod their heads noncommittally, and Leng Ling immediately agreed: "Senior, we are the descendants of the Hanqi family. It is getting dark now, so we want to spend the night here with our seniors to cause trouble!"
"Hahahaha! Okay, okay, okay, I didn't expect the descendants of the Hanqi family to grow up so much. It seems that I have really fallen behind the times over the years!"
After confirming Leng Ling's identity, the old man suddenly burst out laughing. Then he looked at Leng Ling with surprise and said with praise.
Although Leng Ling was a little puzzled by this, he could also see that the old man had no grudge against his Hanqi family. On the contrary, there was probably some good relationship.
"You must find it strange, why am I so happy?" Naturally, the old man saw what Leng Ling said, so he asked her with a smile on his face.
Leng Ling was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he hurriedly came to his senses under Ye Han's gentle push. Then he smiled awkwardly at the old man and said, "Yes! I wonder if you can tell me, senior?"
The old man nodded, sighed softly, then glanced outside the hall, then nodded and said: "In that case, let me tell you. In fact, your father and I knew each other a long time ago.
But later on, due to some reasons, the contact between the two families began to become a little sparse!"
As he spoke, the old man sighed again and said, "I think it was more than twenty years ago. You might have been young at that time and didn't know about these things."
After saying that, the old man fell into hesitation again. Seeing this, Leng Ling naturally understood that the old man still had some things that he had not explained clearly. However, seeing that the old man did not continue to speak, she naturally could not ask more questions.
However, at this moment, the old man's eyes fell on Lin Jie, who had never said a word and just kept looking at Leng Ling and others in a daze. He smiled at him and said: "If you really want to talk about it, what will happen to your family?"
We are almost married!"
Hearing this, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Leng Ling's face. Immediately, his eyes naturally fell on Lin Jie beside him. Seeing that Lin Jie was also looking at him, they both felt embarrassed, so
Then they each looked away from the other's eyes.
Ye Han naturally noticed the changes in their expressions, but he didn't understand why the two families that were about to become in-laws did not develop later. The two families still seem to be strangers.
Seemingly understanding Ye Han's thoughts, the old man smiled awkwardly and said, "By the way, now that you are married, it's okay not to mention this matter. It seems that everything is God's will!"
After saying that, the old man's eyes did not stay on anyone in the hall, but looked towards the sky outside the hall again.
Although everyone is inside the main hall at this moment, looking outside the main hall, one can still see the star-studded sky outside.
After being silent for a long time, the old man sighed, and then smiled and said: "Okay, I think you are tired from the journey, so I won't disturb you anymore. Jie'er, you can go and arrange for them to rest as father!"
After saying that, the old man walked out of the main hall first, leaving Ye Han and others alone in the main hall. Obviously, Leng Ling and Lin Jie were still a little embarrassed when they saw Resolute, and they did not dare to look directly at him.
other side.
Naturally, Ye Han would not turn a blind eye to this, but he also understood that now that Leng Ling had married him, it would be impossible for her and Lin Jie to have feelings between a man and a woman.
Even so, he was still a little worried. After all, he and Leng Ling only knew each other for a month before they became husband and wife. They were not very familiar with each other at all.
However, he also knows that feelings are something that cannot be explained in words. He still agrees with that sentence. What should come will come sooner or later. As for what shouldn't come, forcing it is useless.
