Chapter 212 I Have Someone in My Heart

After going through so much hardship, she joined the immortal sect and desperately sought the elixir of life, just wanting the person she loved to live forever; but now, just a few health pills made her father lose his composure.

From childhood to adulthood, she always thought that Mo Lao was very powerful and omnipotent. She took a glance and saw clearly that his cultivation level was in the late stage of foundation building.

In Daojian Sect, there were at least 800 cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, and they could not withstand her casual sword. Not to mention a casual cultivator like Mo Lao.

So Li Shiyin began to doubt her life and began to rethink the meaning of cultivation.

For three or four days in a row, she was very disappointed and only ate a large bowl of food every time.

At noon that day, she meditated in the back garden and comprehended the "Mind Eye". "Mind Eye" is not so much a pupil technique as it is a magical power. It relies on the soul to practice and relies on talent to comprehend... and she has not yet entered the door.

Just as she was thinking, a servant suddenly came here and said, "Miss, there are guests visiting the house. The general invites you to come."

Guests? Li Shiyin was puzzled. She was a woman. What kind of guests would she accompany?

"Who is coming?" she asked the servant.

The servant remembered the general's request and just said he didn't know.

Li Shiyin was even more puzzled.

When she walked quickly to the reception hall of the house and looked inside, she understood.

The people who came to visit today were very formal. There was a large team, some carrying gifts, some doing etiquette, and some supporting the scene. There were all kinds of people, more than 30 people in a lively atmosphere.

And finally, there were three people who entered the reception hall and were personally received by Li Zhan and his wife... At this time, there were five people sitting in the hall, divided into host and guest positions.

The three visitors were all men, two middle-aged men in their forties and fifties, one was elegant and noble, and the other was like a fairy; a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with a fair face, handsome and shy.

The elegant middle-aged man and the shy young man Li Shiyin knew each other. The former was the prime minister Cheng Lixue, and the latter was his son Cheng Nan. It was also possible to guess that the middle-aged man with a celestial appearance was either Chen Nan's master or Cheng Nan's protector.

Putting aside Cheng Lixue and his master, who was Cheng Nan?

This Cheng Nan was the Cheng Gongzi of the Cheng family in Danyang who had an engagement with Li Shiyin.

Logically speaking, Cheng Lixue was the prime minister of Northern Chu, and Li Konghe was the general of Northern Chu. In order to avoid suspicion and maintain the stability of the court, it was impossible for them to marry. If these two families married, the emperor of Northern Chu would really be unable to sleep and eat.

But this marriage had historical origins.

When Li Konghe and Cheng's grandfather made an in-law marriage, he never thought that he could really fight against the previous emperor, never thought that he could climb to the position of a general, and never thought that the son of the poor scholar who was in marriage would climb to the position of the prime minister of the dynasty.

The agreement made casually between the brothers at that time was attached with a lot of strange values ​​as their status changed.

Originally, considering the stability of the government, Cheng Lixue and Li Zhan were ready to tacitly forget this marriage.

Who knew that there would be problems again at this time. First, Cheng Nan had been bewitched by Li Shiyin and said that he would not marry anyone other than Li Shiyin in this life; second, they worshipped in the immortal gate and became land immortals with great magical powers...

The marriage between two cultivators is completely different from the marriage between two children of aristocratic families. At least, cultivators are detached from the mundane world, and the party struggles in the court are difficult to affect them.

In other words, the emperor of Beichu can no longer control the marriage between Cheng Nan and Li Shiyin, and it is only decided by themselves and their parents.

So the Cheng family's visit today was between formal and informal. It was not a formal marriage proposal, nor was it an ordinary visit. It was an informal meeting called "inquiring about the relatives".

The man came to ask if the so-called marriage contract was still valid?

Li Shiyin appeared at the door, and everyone in the room saw it. Cheng Nan stood up eagerly and wanted to come over here, but it was difficult to come because of the presence of the elders. For a while, he didn't dare to go in or sit down, which looked a little funny.

"Come here and greet Uncle Cheng." Li Zhan and Li Shiyin said.

Cheng Lixue gently scolded Cheng Nan: "Sit down!"

Li Shiyin came over to greet Cheng Lixue, and walked to sit next to Yang Yanqi.

Cheng Nan reluctantly sat down, but his eyes were on Li Shiyin, and he still looked silly.

"Shiyin has been home for many days, why don't you come to see Uncle Cheng?" Cheng Lixue smiled.

Beichu is big, and Danyang City is also big, but in fact, there are only a few people and a few families at the top. These families are quite familiar with each other.

"I've been at home with my mother these days, and I plan to visit Uncle Cheng in two days." Li Shiyin said with a smile, "I didn't expect Uncle Cheng to visit me first."

Her decent answer attracted the attention of Li Zhan and his wife. Is this what the lawless wild girl could say?

"Hahaha..." Cheng Lixue also laughed when he heard it, and the rules of the martial arts world, the louder and longer the laugh, the more friendly it is. Cheng Lixue was very friendly today, and he said, "Isn't this because I miss Xiao Shiyin so much!"

So, the few people in the room talked about greetings for a long time. Similarly, the rules of the martial arts world, the bigger the serious matter, the longer it takes to prepare. For such a major event in life, involving national politics and two cultivators, it must be delayed until the last minute.

So after noon, Li Zhan smiled and invited Cheng Lixue, saying, "It's getting late, Prime Minister, let's go to another place and eat something before talking."

Cheng Lixue's expression froze, knowing that it was time, he smiled and responded, "Hey, how can I go to the general's house to eat for free?"

After a pause, he changed the subject and talked about business, "I came to visit General Li today because I want to confirm an important matter with General Li."

"Oh? What is it?" Li Zhan knew it well, but he still asked.

"My father was good friends with the general..." Cheng Lixue started from the beginning of the world, and quoted classics. At the end, he asked Li Zhan, "I wonder if the marriage between my son and your daughter still counts?"

Cheng Lixue had been tossing for several days and talking nonsense for a whole morning, but the final question was just this one sentence.

When this sentence came out, the two drowsy young men in the room woke up instantly.

Cheng Nan was refreshed and excited. Is he going to propose to the girl he has admired since childhood? Is he going to fulfill his promise and marry her?

Li Shiyin frowned and lowered her head in thought. That little follower with a runny nose who followed her behind really wanted to marry her? How dare he!

Li Zhan glanced at Li Shiyin. His daughter had grown up and was a monk, which made him hesitate, but in the end, he smiled and replied: "Of course I will..."

"No!" Li Shiyin suddenly interrupted Li Zhan.

Daring to interrupt him in this situation, it is indeed lawless! Li Zhan's eyes were wide open, and he was about to scold...

Li Shiyin stood up, facing the three people of the Cheng family, and said in a deep voice: "I have someone else in my heart, and I can't marry Cheng Nan anymore. There is no need to talk about the matter of marriage. This matter is my, Li Shiyin, who is sorry for you. I am willing to bear the consequences. Please forgive me."
