In the quiet night, holding Yun Qiao in his arms, Xi Lanting dared to unscrupulously peel back the past - these specific past events, he had never dared to recall before, but just sealed them in his memory.
The past events in his memory were so vivid, and he also learned a lot from them, but he was stupid and didn't realize it before.
It had only been a year since he arrived at Shangqing Mountain and he had already gained Yun Qiao's admiration.
Yun Qiao dared to risk the disapproval of the world and fall in love with her disciple. Xi Lanting always said that she did not know restraint and was greedy.
What he didn't dare to admit was that Yun Qiao just loved him very much.
There is no trace of the Zhenshan Dial in Shangqing Mountain, and Xi Lanting desperately wants to get it.
Yun Qiao's relationship with him, no matter how well it was concealed, would still be noticed by interested people.
Yun Qiao's mother was the first to know.
She warned Yun Qiao: "That one is from the human race. If you stay with him, you will only be consumed by him. The human race is the most ruthless. They only love the beauty of the witches and will not take care of you who will become old after being consumed."
You are no longer young and beautiful, does he still love you?
If divine witches are not contaminated by foreign races and do not bear children for foreign races, their lifespans will be much longer than those of human races.
After all, the secret spells of shamans can communicate with yin and yang and control the vitality.
"...This little prince of the human race has a very strange origin. No one knows which concubine he was born to, and which tribe his mother's clan is from.
He seemed to appear out of thin air, but the royal family and ministers of the human race all trusted him. Now the human emperor is his elder brother, and I heard that it was only with his help that he could master the clan." Yun Qiao's mother is the head of the Yun family after all.
Even if his legs are disabled, he can still know the world.
Divine witches can heal any injury, and there are no disabled people in the witch clan.
Yun Qiao's mother's legs were not broken, but completely gone. It was possible to grow them back after they were gone, but she refused.
She has been sitting there all year round, but she is more prestigious than before.
Yun Qiao didn't tell Xi Lanting this at the time, but Xi Lanting understood her difficulties from her depressed mood. Later, in the palace, when the past events of Shangqing Mountain and her mother were mentioned, Yun Qiao talked about that conversation.
Yun Qiao has always been very close to her father. After all, it was her father who accompanied her when she grew up. Her mother was strict, so she always distanced herself from her, was afraid of her, and later became jealous of her.
But the reality is cruel.
Her mother tried her best to protect her; and her father, who cared for her when she grew up, came for the "Prophecy of Endless Flowers".
People who seem to love you may not have good intentions; and people who are strict may not be heartless.
Yun Qiao has never experienced betrayal, and she cannot listen to her mother's words.
In order to make her give up, her mother arranged her marriage.
Rebellious children are more terrifying than wild beasts.
On a rainy day, Yun Qiao suddenly went to Xi Lanting's hut.
Shangqing Mountain has a vast territory, and each shaman has its own residence.
Xi Lanting's hut is very simple and short. It is located behind the southwest of the main hall, on the edge of the cliff.
Xi Lanting was surprised when Yun Qiao came in.
In the past, when she went to the eldest disciple's residence, she would ask several other disciples to accompany her.
An elderly high priest would never enter or leave a young disciple's house alone like this, lest she cause trouble and undermine her authority.
She didn't care at the moment.
She was soaked all over and seemed to be in a state of despair.
Xi Lanting took his own clothes and wrapped them around her.
Yun Qiao sat there, dazed for a long time, and then murmured: "They want me to take over as the head of the family."
"you are not willing?"
"Before taking over as the head of the family, you must get married." Yun Qiao said.
When Xi Lanting heard this, his emotions fluctuated greatly. It was not the happiness that the conspiracy had succeeded, but a feeling of unspeakable bitterness and even anger.
He rarely looked back on his mentality at Shangqingshan, only thinking that he performed well and was calm and self-possessed from beginning to end.
What he wants is a sundial.
The Divine Witch Yun clan is the most noble bloodline. Yun Qiao is not only the future head of the Yun family, but also the high priest of the Divine Witch clan. She has no say in her marriage.
"...Lanting, give me a hug." She was silent for a long time and then said suddenly.
