Chapter 368: The freedom of marriage has nothing to do with each other
In the valley where hundreds of flowers are blooming, a clear river flows slowly, winding and dividing the picture of clouds and brocade paving into two.
A tall figure hurriedly walked towards him, his footsteps were windy, his clothes were flying, and there was anger hidden between his brows. He was more worried and anxious, as if he couldn't wait to fly to his destination immediately.
He stepped onto the wooden bridge in one step, and the thumping of footsteps could be heard clearly in the quiet valley, urging him to run towards the mountain gate.
"Stop, Shen Zhuangheng!" A shout suddenly came from behind, and then a group of people appeared not far away, looking at Shen Zhuangheng as he left with different expressions.
This commanding shout failed to make Shen Zhuangheng stop. His face turned away from them and a gloomy expression flashed, and anger emerged in his eyes.
"Shen Zhuangheng, how dare you leave! Do you know what kind of status you have now? How can you interfere with the household affairs of the Demon Sect? You should take care of it!" The person who scolded was the third elder of Baiyin Valley. When he saw Shen Zhuang Heng was still striding out and immediately scolded loudly.
Shen Zhuangheng suddenly stopped walking when he reached the end of the bridge. When the third elder saw him stop, he thought that what he said was effective and made him realize that as a disciple in the valley, he should obey the sect rules obediently and not rush for a demon sect woman. They lose their temper.
Wasn't it just that he stopped the Mocha Sect from expelling their leader, which was enough for him to get so angry that the following offenders questioned their elders.
The third elder's tone became more and more domineering. He raised his chin slightly and scolded Shen Zhuangheng critically with a condescending gaze.
"You are the husband-in-law of Master Shaogu, and you are already our disciple of Baiyin Valley. Every move you make represents Baiyin Valley and Master Shaogu. Have you ever thought that you broke into the Demon Temple Sect for a woman with bad conduct, and that you are setting yourself up for death?" Where is the Master of Shaogu, and where is Baiyin Valley!"
Those people with bad conduct and narrow-mindedness will be a disgrace to Baiyin Valley!
The young master of the valley had already married Shen Zhuangheng, otherwise she would have driven this man out of the valley to avoid ruining the reputation of Baiyin Valley.
Shen Zhuangheng turned around suddenly and stared fiercely at the arrogant third elder. He quickly concealed his fierceness, leaving only the anger and stubbornness of Tong Yan.
"Third Elder, please don't lie here just because of hearsay. I know better than anyone what kind of person she is."
The third elder had always looked down on him, thinking that he was just a husband-in-law who had just married into a wife, so he should keep his temper and work as a cow or a horse for them in Baiyin Valley, and follow the horse's lead.
When Shen Zhuangheng met this person before, he would be cool and calm, trying to save face, but he just didn't want to make things difficult for Jiang Qingle. Now that Tong Yan's matter was on his mind, he was still angry, and he no longer wanted to keep pretending to her.
Ignoring the anger of the third elder, he glanced past all the elders, deacons, and uncles in the valley, and finally stopped at Jiang Qingle's face at the front.
The Valley Master is currently in retreat. She led a group of elders here. Shen Zhuangheng looked at her from afar, with no emotion on his face that was always cold and indifferent.
Also, how could the heir carefully cultivated by the owner of the valley reveal his emotions easily.
Two years ago, the Valley Master found the detoxification medicine, and the poison in her body had been cured long ago. The reason why the Valley Master proposed to let them get married was because suppressing the poison required close contact with him, and for the sake of her reputation.
He knew that they were not together because they were in love, so for all these years, they had kept their thoughts hidden and never dared to go beyond the rules when getting along. Now that her poison has been cured, he has no reason to stay, but I couldn't bear to leave, so I kept putting off leaving.
Now, maybe it's time to leave.
Although what the Third Elder said was unpleasant to listen to, it was also true. Everyone in the world knew that Tong Yan was expelled from the sect. He could risk everything for Tong Yan, but there was no reason to harm her.
Shen Zhuangheng looked at Jiang Qingle, and his emotions went up and down several times. In the end, he could only see calmness and a little nostalgia.
"Qing Le..." He called her, and Jiang Qing Le looked at him quietly with her cold and beautiful eyes.
Shen Zhuangheng lowered his eyes. There were so many things he wanted to say to her, his feelings that he had never expressed before. He loved every moment he spent with her and the way she lowered her head and handled official duties seriously. He remembered every bit of it in his life. .
So many thoughts passed through my mind...that I didn't even know where to start.
After a moment, he sighed softly, raised his eyes again and slowly explained to her, "She is my sister."
He was only six or seven years old when he first met Tong Yan. At that time, she looked a few years older than him. The scorching sun and the breeze were carrying heat. She frowned and frowned. Maybe she was exposed to the sun or maybe she did something. After making a difficult decision, he grabbed his thin cheeks and rubbed them angrily.
The smile she showed was a bit mean, but she said: "Call my sister and come and listen."
He had never had a sister, and he didn't know what it was like to have a sister. He felt uneasy in his heart, and he vaguely felt that there seemed to be a strange bond between them.
Later, he grew taller and was much taller than her. He even called her by her first name instead of calling her sister for this reason.
But this cannot deny the fact that she is a sister.
"I have to go on this trip. Regardless of the world's prejudices or her nature, I, Su Mu, will always be on her side."
Shen Zhuangheng: "You have a different identity and have no connection with Yanyan. We really shouldn't implicate you because of this."
"I have been with you for more than ten years, and I am as happy as if we have been together for a lifetime." He lowered his eyebrows to cover the gloom in his eyes, and finally said goodbye, "We will see each other again, and we will be just passers-by. Weddings Freedom has nothing to do with each other. I wish you happiness and peace in the future, and everything goes well."
After saying this, Shen Zhuangheng turned around, strode off the bridge and headed down the mountain.
The fingers in Jiang Qingle's sleeves were clenched tightly, and her figure seemed to be shaking.
It turns out that even mild sunlight can make people dizzy.
There was an uproar behind Shen Zhuangheng after she said those words. After all, he was the husband-in-law in name only of Shao Guzhu, and everyone knew about the hidden story back then. Seeing that she didn't say anything at this moment, they only dared to discuss a few words in a low voice.
The third elder's disdainful sneer and impolite tone seemed to indicate that Shen Zhuangheng didn't appreciate praise.
"A mere inner disciple of the Qiankun Sect can be so arrogant. He really thinks that I, the Baiyin Valley, can take in anyone. If the owner of the valley hadn't personally proposed the marriage, he would be worthy of having a relationship with us in the valley."
Before the third elder finished speaking, a voice full of coldness and warning immediately reached her ears.
"Third Elder, he is my husband-in-law. In terms of status, he is equal to you. He is the direct disciple of the elder of Qiankun Sect. In terms of status, he is not inferior to me. I didn't know you looked down on him so much.
In the past, Su Mujing and I treated you as elders and didn't care much about you, but if you only treat people and things with prejudice, I'm a little worried about Master, whether you can serve as an elder."
Jiang Qingle's words were like a bucket of ice water pouring on the third elder's heart, especially the meaning behind her words. It seemed that she was going to complain to the Valley Master, and she had lost her position as elder. She immediately turned pale with fear and broke into a cold sweat. DC.
She had expressed her contempt for Shen Zhuangheng many times before, and she had never seen Jiang Qingle take care of it. Why did she do it this time...
Is it possible that Shen Zhuangheng has never had pillow sex with her?
Jiang Qingle ignored the third elder and looked up at the sky, deducing that it was time for the master to leave seclusion.
A few days ago, someone sent an anonymous message to Shen Zhuangheng. However, he was in retreat at the time, and the envelope was left with her. Although she and Shen Zhuangheng have been Taoist couples for many years, they have never had a substantive relationship. Their normal distance is more like friends. It was impossible for her to open his personal letters without permission.
She put the letter in her study. One day, several elders came to discuss matters with her. They opened the letter by chance and saw the contents. They restored the desk to its original form before she went, so she never found anything wrong. .
Shen Zhuangheng came out of seclusion a few days later. She wanted to find the letter and give it to him, but she could never find it. It was not until today that she accidentally learned from a disciple that Tong Yan was expelled from the school by Shang Xun for killing a fellow disciple, and she had a premonition. Something is wrong.
She had not heard any news about the news that had been circulated for a long time, and Shen Zhuangheng was even kept in the dark.
Jiang Qingle privately interrogated the elders who had come to her study, and finally got the lost letter. She didn't care too much, opened it, and found out that it informed Shen Zhuangheng that Tong Yan was in trouble and asked him to go and respond quickly.
There was no time to question the elders for stealing the letter privately and concealing the news. Jiang Qingle took the letter and hurried to tell Shen Zhuangheng.
But she seemed to have arrived too late. Before she could enter the house, she saw Shen Zhuangheng with a gloomy expression about to go out.
After seeing the letter in her hand, she left without saying a word.
I don't listen to her explanation and don't care about her attitude.
