"You're here." The person who opened the door was not a servant, but Lin Xiaotian. But at this time, the legendary head of the family who led the Lin family to soar into the sky looked at Qin Feng with an extremely complicated look in his eyes.
"I should come." Qin Feng said calmly. He already knew that Lin Xiaotian was probably the person who betrayed Qin Xiaochi thirteen years ago, and the Lin family became rich because of it.
However, it is precisely because of knowing that Qin Feng becomes calmer. In his opinion, Lin Xiaotian is just a small character who leaked the news. His real enemy should be General Zhenyuan or Qian Qian among the anti-king faction in the royal city. The martial arts academy, and those mysterious strong men who came to the royal city that year...
Lin Xiaotian was silent and just led Qin Feng towards the courtyard. Of course he knew that Qin Feng would come and why Qin Feng came. But Lin Xiao didn't know how to choose.
In other words, he knew how to make a choice, but he was wavering in his heart.
Qin Feng followed Lin Xiaotian as he walked forward. The flying snow seven days ago should have disappeared under the scorching sun, but Lin Mansion was the only exception. There were still traces of snow on the trees in the courtyard and the flowers and plants on the roadside. Some residual snow seems to be due to the heavier snowfall that night in the area where Lin Mansion is located.
The deeper the two of them went, the snow on the roadside gradually became deeper. Until they reached the depths of the courtyard, they could see that the surrounding eaves were covered with snow, and the surrounding temperature seemed very cold.
Qin Feng frowned inadvertently, thinking of the reminder the Sixth Prince had given him. "Sure enough, something incredible happened to Lin Xue..."
Lin Xiaotian pushed open the concealed door to the north. The room was very tidy, but there was no one else.
"Where is Lin Xue?" Qin Feng asked with a frown. He originally thought that Lin Xiaotian would take him directly to see Lin Xue.
Lin Xiaotian said nothing, and the expression on his face became more complicated. He seemed to be thinking about something.
On the wall behind him, there is a painting hanging. The painting was just hung up. It depicts a beautiful woman taking a nap on a bamboo bed among crabapple flowers. The woman in the painting is his tenth wife. He married his wife Su Qiaoer three years ago, and the person who painted it was himself.
This is the most satisfying painting that Lin Xiaotian has painted after learning painting techniques from Qin Xiaochi for a long time, and it is also the painting with the most care...
It must be said that he is a very complicated person. Thirteen years ago, he betrayed Qin Xiaochi, but he could not help but miss his old friend. Thirteen years ago, in order to marry the eldest lady of Qianwu Academy, he made the Lin family prosperous. , he did not hesitate to lock his most beloved woman in the depths of the Hidden Mist Mountain where no one could see anyone. But when he learned that the formation in the Hidden Mist Mountain had been destroyed, Yi Tianxing broke out of the formation, and the small courtyard in the Hidden Mist Mountain When it turned into ashes, I couldn't help but start to regret and miss...
Lin Xiaotian suddenly let out a long sigh, and the complicated look in his eyes gradually became confused. He felt that he never understood himself well enough, and he didn't know what he wanted. Thirteen years ago, he thought that all he wanted was power and power. status, but now he starts to complain that his life is not happy enough or free enough.
"Qin Feng, I know your intentions very well. If you want to marry Lin Xue or take her away, I won't stop you." When Lin Xiaotian mentioned Lin Xue's name, there was a rare softness in his eyes. Su Qiaoer Perhaps he died in Hidden Wu Mountain, and Lin Xue was his only relative.
But he knows that he is not a good father, not before and not now.
Qin Feng was surprised by Lin Xiaotian's words. He did not expect Lin Xiaotian to say such a thing. But he remained calm because from Lin Xiaotian's tone, he could tell that Lin Xiaotian had not finished what he said.
"However, Lin Xue's going or staying is beyond my control." Lin Xiaotian's voice was a little weak. As he spoke, he slowly turned a mechanism that looked like a pen holder on the desk, and the wall behind him gradually separated.
A dark corridor was revealed.
"If you want to take Lin Xue away, you must get the consent of the person inside." Lin Xiaotian's voice was filled with a hint of bitterness. His own daughter's fate was being controlled by others, how could he not be bitter, and how could he not be bitter?
Not sad.
Qin Feng nodded. He did not ask who the person was or what his identity was. Because he knew that no matter who it was, there was absolutely no way he could stop him from taking Lin Xue away today.
Lin Xiaotian looked at Qin Feng's back as he entered the corridor, felt Qin Feng's unwavering determination, and suddenly felt a burst of envy in his heart.
He envied Qin Feng for always being able to live so clearly and clearly knowing what he wanted, so he always did things without hesitation, but he could only slowly sink into the mud-filled swamp.
, unable to control himself, in excruciating pain.
At this time, Qin Feng paused slightly and said indifferently: "It's better to go back to the shore."
This was his last advice to Lin Xiaotian, perhaps because Lin Xiaotian was Qin Xiaochi's old friend after all, or perhaps because he was Lin Xue's biological father after all...
The light in the corridor was a little dark, and there was a biting chill in the air. Qin Feng moved forward and opened the door at the end of the corridor.
What he saw was an ice jade bed. Lin Xue was sitting cross-legged on the jade bed with her eyes closed. A terrifying cold air radiated from her body, and ice-blue mysterious lines ran from her collar.
It spread up her neck, making her originally pure and beautiful face look a bit enchanting.
Qin Feng's expression changed a bit when he saw those mysterious lines. When the Fourth Academy martial arts competition was held, Qin Feng had inspected Lin Xue's body once. At that time, he felt that the cold air was unusual and even reminded him of
Several extremely terrifying physiques.
However, he did not expect that Lin Xue's situation was even more terrifying than he imagined. At this time, he fully understood that no wonder there was a heavy snowfall for no reason seven days ago, and no wonder Lin Xue had been unable to gather his martial spirit.
.
Because Lin Xue does not have a sixth-grade or even seventh-grade martial spirit as people had guessed! Instead, she has no martial spirit at all! What she possesses is the most dangerous and terrifying Tianhan Absolute Body in the world!
And now, this terrifying physique has begun to awaken...
At this time, Lin Xue's eyelashes trembled slightly as she closed her eyes, and slowly opened her eyes. There was a trace of fear and helplessness in her eyes, as if she was confused about the unknown future, until he saw the sight not far away.
Qin Feng's eyes gradually brightened and became determined.
"Xue'er..." Qin Feng called softly and walked forward a little faster.
But at this moment, a woman wearing an ice blue dress stood in front of Qin Feng.
To be precise, the woman had been standing in front of the cold bed for a long time, but Qin Feng's eyes were attracted by Lin Xue and he had never noticed her.
"I didn't expect that the person who came here would be you." As the woman spoke, her eyes swept Qin Feng up and down like a brush, with a hint of arrogance in her expression.
Qin Feng casually glanced at the three ice flowers embroidered on the woman's chest and recognized them as the unique logo of the Ice and Snow Palace among the four major sects in the northwest region. However, his expression remained unchanged, and he just said indifferently: "Oh? Then Who do you think should come today?"
"It doesn't matter who it is, they just want to please me, Ice and Snow Palace, and get some benefits." The woman smiled disdainfully and said, "Now we can have a good talk."
"What are you talking about?" Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, not understanding the woman's words.
"It's not a good habit to ask questions knowingly. This will make people disgusted." The woman glared at Qin Feng and said coldly: "You went through all the trouble in the Fourth Court martial arts competition, and you did not hesitate to offend the prince of Motie Kingdom at the same time. And the prince of Daqian Kingdom, aren’t they just trying to get some benefits?”
Qin Feng still didn't speak because he still didn't understand.
The woman was still minding her own business and said: "She has the ultimate cold body. I will take her to the Ice and Snow Palace. Of course you can get some benefits from it. This is your honor. I have to say that you are very lucky. Originally Such an honor will only belong to the sixth prince or the prince of Motie Kingdom."
"Now we can have a good talk. Oh, I forgot to introduce you. I am the special envoy of the Ice and Snow Palace to Daqian Kingdom."
Qin Feng understood this time and understood the significance of the four-court martial arts competition.
All this should start with Lin Xue. More than a month ago, Lin Xue's cultivation broke through to the sixth level of body tempering, but he failed to conceive a martial spirit, and cold air began to appear on his body. The special envoy of the Ice and Snow Palace discovered that Lin Xue The special nature of snow may even have a special physique, so she reported this matter to the Ice and Snow Palace, which even alarmed the elders in the Ice and Snow Palace.
The Ice and Snow Palace is one of the four major sects in the northwest region. Its strength is dozens of times stronger than the Daqian Kingdom. Several nearby kingdoms want to please the Ice and Snow Palace in order to gain protection.
There is chaos in the Daqian Kingdom. Some thoughtful people in the royal family naturally want to please the Ice and Snow Palace and get the protection of the Ice and Snow Palace. At the worst, they can also get many treasures, which will give them the ability to fight against the anti-king faction. With his strength, many people focused their attention on Lin Xue.
The royal family wanted the sixth prince to marry Lin Xue in order to establish a relationship with the Ice and Snow Palace. Originally, this matter should have gone very smoothly, but unfortunately, the prince of Motie Kingdom also knew about it. So Lin Xue was like a Like a rare treasure, it was fought over by the two kingdoms, and this was how the Four Courts competed in martial arts.
But no one expected that Qin Feng would be an anomaly in that gambling game. What was even more unexpected was that the sixth prince in the royal family was also an anomaly. He actually gave up those interests and really abided by Agreement.
"If you want any benefits, you can boldly propose them. You can be granted a title of marquis or lord in Daqian Kingdom, or you want treasures, you can do anything." The woman said indifferently.
"I just want to take her away." Qin Feng frowned. He felt that everyone regarded Lin Xue as a kind of commodity that could be traded, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Don't you understand? If Lin Xue only had a sixth-level martial spirit or some other special physique, I wouldn't bother to stop you from marrying her. But Lin Xue's Tianhan Jue Physique has awakened, and her value is no longer the same. In the past, she may even become the saint of my Ice and Snow Palace in the future. Not to mention you, even the young masters of the other three sects in the Northwest Territory are not qualified to marry her. Therefore, the previous engagement has long been cancelled. "Ice and Snow Palace." The envoy said with a sneer.
