Chapter 234 Meeting old friends
Shen Lin opened his mouth, but when he reached the edge of his mouth, the words were blocked again abruptly.

Looking at the catkins in front of him, under the dim light, the flowing black hair slipped down, and a beautiful face stared at him with no expression.

There seemed to be some questioning in his eyes.

It's like waiting for an answer.

Shen Lin fell silent.

No matter how much he explained, Liu Xu explained the essence of the matter in one sentence.

Straight to the core.

For Shen Lin, this was something he had to do.

But for Liu Xu, isn't it an unacceptable thing?

then……

silence.

Still silent!

"Yes."

Shen Lin nodded.

He looked at Liu Xu calmly, and said softly, "I am Shen Lin, but I am also Shen Qun..."

He didn't continue talking, but Liu Xu understood.

Her complexion changed suddenly, her delicate body trembled almost subconsciously, and the plain hand under the sleeve that was already tightly clenched was even tighter.

The cold and thin fingers turned a little white, and even his breathing became a little short...

How could this be so? Given how deep her inner strength is, how could she not be able to control her own breathing rhythm?

Can……

Really can't control it.

She still stared at Shen Lin, but her eyes gradually turned cold.

He has made a choice!

Is Princess Changning her choice?
yes……

He should indeed choose this way, if it were her, he would definitely do the same.

only……

Although she already knew this was the result, Liu Xu still felt a pain in her heart for no reason.

"Then I wish you well."

She lowered her eyes, grabbed the sword on the table again and stood up.

"Xu'er..."

"call out!"

As soon as Shen Lin got up, a piercing cold light flashed in the room.

"boom!"

The table between the two was split neatly from the middle and collapsed!

The skin-piercing cold light of sword energy rushed towards his face, and Shen Lin felt a cool murderous aura on his face.

Liu Xu's whole body seemed to be wrapped in icy chill, and the 'Silver Moon' in her hand exuded a piercing murderous aura along with the master's temperament, permeating the room.

"To shut up!"

She gave Shen Lin a cold look, then turned and left.

When Shen Lin chased out of the room, Liu Xu's figure had disappeared from the courtyard into the dark night.

"Young master? What happened?!"

The guards in the house heard the movement and rushed into the yard quickly.

"fine!"

Shen Lin waved his hand, staring at the direction where Liu Xu left.

After a while, he sighed faintly.

Sure enough, she was still very angry!

Unexpected things.

After a pause for a while, Shen Lin glanced at the guard beside him, and said calmly, "Help me check someone!"

"I don't know who the young master wants to check?"

"Absolute Beginning Sword Sect!"

Shen Lin narrowed his eyes: "I need clues about anyone from the Taichu Sword Sect in Beijing, how many people there are, where they live... I need them all."

"Yes."

"..."

In the dead of night, in the wee hours of the morning.

Liu Xu's figure quietly landed in a residential house.

She walked slowly into the yard and walked towards the room beside her.

With a cold face, without a trace of emotion, there is an aura of not getting close to strangers all over his body.

It's like being offended!

She pushed open the door of the room and just stepped into the room when she stopped suddenly.

In the dark and quiet room, there are people.

At the table not far away, a figure sat quietly.

"master."

Liu Xu was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered, lowered her head, and spoke calmly.

"It's so late, where have you been?"

A lukewarm voice came, accompanied by the lighting of the oil lamp in the room.

A woman with an expressionless face appeared in the room. She was about 40 years old, and the years had not left too many marks on her face. She had a cold face similar to catkins.

But unlike Liu Xu, she never smiles, and always looks cold.

At this moment, she was looking at Liu Xu at the door with a straight face, and her sharp eyes were sizing up Liu Xu's body.

This person is the current head of the Absolute Beginning Sword Sect!

Li Miaoyi!
Liu Xu lowered her eyes and said, "I went to meet someone."

"Who did you meet?"

Li Miaoyi squinted her eyes and asked.

Liu Xu was silent.

She looked up and down at the apprentice in front of her, Liu Xu was brought up by her, how could she not see her thoughts?
"Go to see that man?!"

Li Miaoyi asked.

Liu Xu remained silent.

But already pretty much the default.

Li Miaoyi's eyes turned cold, but then slowly opened.

Half a year ago, her only direct disciple encountered a bottleneck in martial arts and decided to go down the mountain to practice.

She disagreed at the beginning, Liu Xu has been in the teacher's school since she was a child, and even rarely went out of the mountain gate.This time going down the mountain alone, she naturally disagreed.

But Liu Xu's character is also very stubborn, and her martial arts has indeed been stuck in the bottleneck for a long time, and it is really useless for her to continue to stay at the mountain gate.When he came down the mountain, Liu Xu was already a first-class expert in the world, and there were few rivals in the world.

Therefore, she allowed Liu Xu to go down the mountain.

However, a few months after Liu Xu went down the mountain, she learned another news.This disciple of hers had a conflict with the Star-Moon Union, and entered the main forum of the Star-Moon Union alone, severely wounding one of the leaders of the Star-Moon Union!

She herself was seriously injured and her whereabouts are unknown.When she heard the news, she immediately sent people down the mountain to look for it.It wasn't until not long ago that she was finally sure that Tuer was fine, and she was relieved.

Then, Liu Xu came to the capital to meet her.

But at the same time, it also brought a very bad news.

Her apprentice has a sweetheart!
Li Miaoyi watched Liu Xu grow up, how could she not know what Liu Xu was thinking?
From Liu Xu's face, she could tell that her apprentice was indeed emotional!
This is not good news for Li Miaoyi!

Liu Xu is her apprentice, the one she places great hopes on, how can she marry anyone casually?

What's more, the other party is just a policeman from some remote place?
How dare a small catcher marry her a direct disciple of the Sword Sect of Absolute Beginning?
She does not agree to this marriage!

……

"where is he?"

Li Miaoyi spoke expressionlessly.

Liu Xu was still silent, and there seemed to be some indescribably complicated expression in her cold expression.

Li Miaoyi noticed it and frowned slightly.

"Liu Xu, you don't even care about your master now?"

Liu Xu lowered her eyes: "Xu'er dare not."

"Then the teacher asked you, why didn't you answer?"

Liu Xu was silent for a moment, and her gaze returned to silence: "He has nothing to do with me!"

"Why?"

As if thinking of something, Liu Xu's heart trembled, and after a while, he said expressionlessly, "He has a sweetheart."

Li Miaoyi was startled, then narrowed her eyes.Then, I was relieved.

A sneer appeared on his face: "I just said, he is not a good guy!"

"How can a heartless guy who comes out of nowhere be worthy of your love?"

Liu Xu was silent.

Knowing that Tu'er broke up with that wild man who came out of nowhere, Li Miaoyi also heaved a sigh of relief.If her apprentice is really stubborn, she doesn't know how to end it, after all...

"In that case, that's good."

Li Miaoyi glanced at Liu Xu, saw her downcast, and said lightly: "You are still young, the love in this world is nothing more than that, there are many good men in the world... As my disciple, you want to marry me in the world." The person who is worthy of you, naturally has to be a good match!"

Liu Xu remained silent, she didn't care what the master said.

"In that case, do you still remember what I mentioned to you half a year ago?"

Li Miaoyi spoke suddenly.

Liu Xu raised her eyes, and then seemed to think of something.

half year ago……

"Tomorrow, come with me to meet an old friend."

Li Miaoyi spoke lightly.

Liu Xu seemed to realize something, raised her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Master..."

"Master knows that you don't want to, but this is something that was settled many years ago, and now..."

Li Miaoyi wanted to say something more, but seeing her disciple's slightly ugly face, she finally held back.

After a while, she shook her head slightly: "They were kind to their teacher back then, and this time they came to the capital as a teacher to repay their kindness. No matter what, you have to meet at least once..."

Liu Xu was still silent.

Li Miaoyi glanced at her again and said calmly: "Don't worry, the son of an old friend is already married. If you don't want to, why would the teacher force you to be a concubine?"

Only then did Liu Xu feel a little relieved, she lowered her head and said nothing.

……

Early morning hours.

Shen Lin woke up from his dream, and soon there were maids in the room to help him change his clothes and wash his hands.

After washing up, go to have breakfast.

It's rare that Shen's father and Shen's mother are both here today.

"Qun'er, Mother has something to tell you."

Shen's mother pulled Shen Lin with joy, and said with a bit of joy on her face: "Today, you make preparations, and go out with your parents to meet someone later."

"To see people?"

Shen Lin was startled: "Who are you seeing?"

"An old friend."

Shen Lin was even more surprised, why did an old friend ask him to meet?

Shen's mother sighed, her eyes were a little complicated: "This matter is a bit complicated to talk about."

Saying that, Shen's mother glanced at Shen's father, and then said: "Your father helped an old friend more than ten years ago... It just so happened that he had a predestined relationship with that old friend at that time, so..."

Shen's mother hesitated for a while, and said softly: "I have arranged a marriage for you..."

Shen Lin: "?"

The expression on his face froze.

marriage?

What do you mean?
Why hasn't he heard of this marriage?
"We haven't told you about this..."

Shen's mother sighed: "Originally, I planned to tell you about this matter after you became an adult, and then arrange for you to get married. But who would have thought that His Majesty would suddenly give you a marriage..."

"Your Majesty wants to marry Her Majesty the Princess to you, so the matter will be complicated...Mother can't say that Her Majesty the Princess will be your concubine, so I can only think of a way to solve this matter. But I haven't had time to think about it The way, you just..."

Shen Lin understood.

This means that before he married the princess, he still had a marriage contract?
Just because of the appearance of the princess, it was impossible to deal with the previous marriage contract, and he disappeared for three years, so the matter has been put on hold?
"Yeah, now that you're back, that old friend happens to be in the capital, so Mother and your father made an appointment to meet up today..."

The expression on Shen Lin's face froze, feeling that something was wrong: "But... don't I still have a marriage contract with the princess?"

"That doesn't stop you from going to see him!"

Shen's mother sighed: "The girl has been waiting for you for so many years, no matter what, you have to meet her, it's really impossible..."

As if thinking of something, Shen's mother lowered her voice, and whispered: "If you are interested, and Her Royal Highness doesn't mind, it is not impossible to let her be a concubine..."

Shen Lin: "..."

What a real mother!

It's really thoughtful.

The princess hasn't married yet, but she has arranged for her son to take a concubine?

"just forget it!"

Shen Lin shook his head.

He had never seen anyone before, so taking a concubine was outrageous.Moreover, it was a marriage contract many years ago, and it is still a question of whether they are willing to marry.

Besides... If Princess Changning finds out about this, can't she be killed?

And Liu Xu left angrily last night, this one hasn't been coaxed yet, if she knows that Shen Lin still has a marriage contract...

The consequences are dire!
Shen's mother tentatively said, "Why don't we meet first? What if..."

"My heart already belongs to me, let's let this matter go!"

Shen Lin shook his head with a firm tone.

No matter who the other party is, it is impossible for him to marry.

Shen's mother originally wanted to persuade her, but seeing that Shen Lin was so determined, she didn't force her anymore.

Even so, it is indeed not good for the Shen family to regret the marriage, but after all, the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, and this is something they can do nothing about.All I can do is to discuss with that old friend and cancel the marriage.

What's more, her son is so devoted and dedicated to the princess, which also makes her, a mother, very pleased.

Missing for three years, the son came back and matured!

"No matter what, we must at least meet once, at least annul the engagement in person, right?"

Mother Shen said again.

Shen Lin thought about it, and it seemed to be the same.

Even if he wants to retire, he should still meet him.

So, Shen Lin nodded: "That's fine!"

"..."

On the outskirts of the capital, a hidden manor.

The scenery is beautiful and the view is superb.

A carriage stopped outside the manor, and Li Miaoyi and Liu Xu got off the carriage.

Liu Xu glanced around, with a little doubt in her eyes.

Li Miaoyi saw her doubts and explained: "Recently, the situation in Beijing is complicated, and my old friend has a special identity. It is not easy for me to participate in the Absolute Beginning Sword Sect, so as not to arouse suspicion from interested people, so I chose this place."

Liu Xu nodded slightly, raised her eyes and glanced ahead, her eyes were indifferent.

Seeing this, Li Miaoyi said, "The son of my old friend is indeed a good-looking talent. Although he has a marriage contract, if you are in love..."

Liu Xu remained expressionless and said nothing.

Seeing this, Li Miaoyi sighed lightly, and didn't say anything else.

It seems that it is unwilling.

"Let's go and meet old friends!"

With that said, Li Miaoyi came to the outside of the manor, and there were already people waiting for a long time at the door.

"You two distinguished guests, please follow me."

The servant led the two into the manor, walked through the corridor, and came to the main hall of the courtyard.

In the main hall of the courtyard, people have been waiting for a long time.

"Miaoyi, long time no see!"

A surprised figure came from the main hall, and a noble lady walked into the courtyard quickly.

Li Miaoyi raised her eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of joy in her calm expression.

"Mrs. Shen!"

She cupped her hands slightly, then raised her eyes to look at Shen's father behind Su Mu, and said, "Brother Shen, long time no see!"

Shen's father nodded, feeling a little emotional: "It's been several years since we last said goodbye!"

"Yes!"

Shen's mother spoke happily, her eyes fell on Liu Xu behind Li Miaoyi, her eyes lit up slightly: "This one, is your beloved disciple?"

Li Miaoyi nodded: "It's the disciple Liuxu."

"Liu Xu met uncle and aunt!"

Liu Xu nodded slightly, but for some reason, she always felt that the two in front of her were somewhat familiar, where did she seem to have met?

"Okay, Miss Liu is really beautiful and has a good temperament. She is indeed a direct disciple of the Sword Sect of Absolute Beginning!"

Shen's mother looked at the girl in front of her with joy, and then she thought of something: "By the way, come on and sit first!"

She greeted Li Miaoyi and Liu Xu to take their seats, and then turned her head to look in a certain direction behind her: "Qun'er, come out!"

Hearing this, Liu Xu's delicate body trembled suddenly, and she raised her head in disbelief.
