It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

The mask covering her face was also broken, just like Sheng Sheng's mist spell had cooled down, and it could no longer hide her true appearance.

As soon as he sat down, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Shengsheng...

It happened that Shengsheng was also looking at her.

The two of them immediately became hostile to each other.

"Uh......"

Shengsheng was speechless.

Because in the next second, Gui Shi Tan looked away.

She seemed to be very concerned about when the three people behind her would arrive, and she kept looking sideways at the door of the palace. But even Gong Yangqiu, who was three cushions away from her and about ten feet away, noticed that the ghost messenger Tan's face was slightly red, which was very abnormal.

——It seems that she still remembers me, her cousin.

Shengsheng's eyes flashed and she felt a little complicated.

Not bad!

cousin......

When Sheng Sheng first heard about the Ghost Messenger Tan, he was mostly thinking about his brutal battle record. It can be said that the Ghost Messenger Tan is the sharpest sword in the hands of the Ghost Queen.

A murderous sword!

She seldom led troops into battle, but she always killed the most promising warriors on the human side.

Even Gong Yangqiu and Hua Sili were assassinated by him, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful...but the two of them were also unable to stop each other.

After Jian Qing went into seclusion to recuperate, he was able to continue to subdue the five cities in the ghost realm, all thanks to the sharp blade of Ghost Envoy Tan.

Therefore.

When Shengsheng heard the word "Tan", he didn't think too much about it...

However, reality is sometimes more exaggerated than drama, and she never expected that Ghost Messenger Tan was really... the one whose parents were said to have died young and who was adopted by her aunt Mingzhi, who treated her as her own daughter and designated her as the next head of the Ming family.

——Ming Tan, Ming Miao Ling.

Shengsheng’s older cousin!

"My turtle."

The girl's mood was complicated at the moment. Ming Miaoling, transformed into the ghost of Tianbao, sat in front of her, Su Yun, as a human ghost, sat next to her, and she was also a ghost...

In this case, doesn’t it mean that Tushan Kingdom’s three thousand-year-old families [Ming, Xia, and Su] are all gone?

——No, no, no! It seems that the Ming family still has some roots in Dongzhou.

——But the heirlooms are all in my cousin’s hands, so I guess the rest are from unimportant side branches.

Well.

In fact, these are nothing, she doesn't care, she just lives in a different way.

The most important thing is...

"Why did my cousin suddenly blush when she saw me?"

Chapter 73 Parents’ Orders, Matchmaker’s Words

"Cousin, why are you so fat?"

After Mingtan took off his mask, he has been avoiding Shengsheng's gaze.

This made the girl extremely confused.

Her impressions of her older cousin actually all came from the memories that were integrated during the time travel...so, the memories before the age of five are inevitably vague.

But no matter how vague it is, I still remember some important things in detail.

My cousin Mingtan is named Miaoling.

She is the daughter of Shengsheng's aunt, eight years older than Shengsheng. At the age of twelve, she had already shown a talent for martial arts that surpassed Ming Zhi, the current head of the Ming family, and was as famous as Su Yun and Ning Jun from Xizhou.

These three were favored by everyone at that time.

It is believed that after they grow up, they should be able to successfully take over Wu Jinxiu's position and continue to protect the common people of the East and West States.

Because Ming Miaoling is so outstanding, she was chosen as the next head of the Ming family early on...

Shengsheng, who was only 4 years old at the time, had not yet shown any signs of genius.

If Shengsheng can be more outstanding than her cousin in the future, then the position of head of the family can be replaced.

In order to prevent the family talents from dying out and weakening, the three thousand-year-old families have a very complete succession system within them...If the children of the direct lineage cannot perform at their best, they will be outshined by the side branches.

Then.

The positions and relationships of the two will be swapped.

This matter is jointly presided over by the elders of the clan, and every generation maintains absolute fairness and justice.

Therefore.

Ming Miaoling was designated as the next successor, and everyone in the Ming family was convinced.

Subsequent facts also proved the vision of the clan elders, because Shengsheng, who was coveted and highly expected by everyone in the clan and inherited the excellent blood of her mother Mingzhi and father Xia Ye...has been leaking energy since she officially embarked on the path of cultivation.

What do you mean she is better than cousin Ming? That doesn't exist. She is just more lewd.

"Oh my god~."

"...cousin, I don't think she takes her cheap parents' words seriously!"

Thinking about the past, Shengsheng almost became stupid.

Ming Tan was gifted in martial arts, and became famous at the age of twelve. At the age of thirteen, he became famous in Tushan for his first-class cultivation. Some people who were jealous of the excellence of the descendants of the Ming family liked to talk about her parents... that is, Shengsheng's aunt and uncle.

When Mingtan was two years old, both of them died while going out.

The real murderer has not been found for more than ten years.

then.

Mingzhi immediately took her niece home and raised and cared for her as her own daughter, treating her the same way until she gave birth to Xia Li.

After he turned ten, Mingtan began to understand more and more things, and knew the difference between close and distant relatives.

This second aunt Mingzhi...

Although she called her second aunt, she was actually no different from her adoptive mother or even her biological mother.

One time, she couldn't resist her curiosity and asked him in person.

Because she trusted Mingzhi very much, she did not hide anything... After lunch one day, in front of Old Man Xia and Xia Li, Ming Tan asked directly.

Ask the other person why he or she is so nice to you?

I don’t know why, but this part of memory is quite emotional after it was integrated, so Shengsheng remembers it quite clearly.

When my cousin asked the question, Father Xia and Mother Ming did not answer immediately, but smiled at each other...

That is a sweet smile that single people cannot see, full of affection and high sugar content.

After a smile, Ming's mother made a joke.

she says......

"Second Aunt treats you not only as her niece, but also as our Shengsheng's child bride. You will have to call me mother after you get married, so isn't it natural for me to treat you well in advance?"

"Ah! Second Aunt, my cousin and I are both women, how can we carry on the family line?"

Ming's mother smiled calmly.

"Don't worry about that. It's too early for you to get too complicated."

"but......"

"But what?"

Ming's mother teased.

"You are a long-term thinker. You are worthy of being the child I have chosen."

"No, no! You misunderstood, Second Aunt. I am just confused about that matter. I have no intention of coveting my cousin."

"Oh? So Miao Ling doesn't like your cousin?"

Ming's mother sighed and looked sad.

"Hey~, Sheng'er has been very attached to you since she was a child, and you actually don't like her."

"No, no! My cousin is so cute, I...of course I have no objection."

Although Mingtan was only thirteen years old at the moment, she was gifted with intelligence and was precocious.

Having said that.

She was already a little shy, but finally mustered up the courage to speak hesitantly.

"But aunt, my cousin is still young and her character is not yet determined."

"Just because she likes to stick to me now doesn't mean she will be like this in the future... What if she changes her mind when she grows up and doesn't agree?"

"Miao Ling, don't worry, you just need to..."

When they talked about this, Ming's mother asked Ming Tan to come closer to her ear, and from then on the two of them talked in a whisper, so Xiao Xia Li naturally couldn't hear it.

——I’m in trouble.

He put away his memories of the past and glanced at his eldest cousin who was sitting opposite him and looking out the palace door as if nothing had happened, but was actually very uneasy.

Shengsheng secretly felt a headache.

Who would have thought that Ming Tan would take the childhood joke seriously? When she merged her memories, she saw at a glance that Ming's mother was teasing her niece...

What child bride? Sheng Sheng actually believed it when she wanted to be replaced with a woman who only had beauty but no talent for martial arts.

But my eldest cousin is the successor of Tushan Wu Jinxiu, and also the future head of the Ming family. How could she, with such an identity, be humbled and become a child bride?

Don’t we need to deal with family affairs?

No need to guard the two states and five cities in the east and west?

Just stay at home every day to take care of Shengsheng, serving her... wandering around the courtyard full of flowers and plants, and the unknown kitchen all day.

When the Ming family was about to be destroyed one day, the enemy met a woman sweeping the floor in Shengsheng's backyard.

——Sweeping Tan can turn the tide?

Phew~, just thinking about that scene seems a bit far-fetched.

So there is absolutely no such absurd thing! When Shengsheng first recalled that, he treated what Ming's mother said as a lunchtime joke.

"Brother-in-law——!"

I was thinking about how to explain to my cousin that what the elders said was actually a joke, asking her not to think about her own Shengsheng...

When I heard the sound, I was so scared that I almost stood up from the mat.

——Turtle, one of the two people behind is Ning Xun!

——How could her evil blood and ghost resist the erosion of spiritual consciousness? It doesn’t make sense... Could it be that a lunatic with a broken brain doesn’t have to worry about erosion at all?

This moment.

Because of Ning Xun's shout and her rushing forward.

The other three people in the field, who were already alert, immediately looked in the direction of the sound. Gong Yangqiu's attention was mostly on Ming Tan before, but now he also looked over blankly.

She knew Ning Xun and knew who her sister was.

When he called him brother-in-law, his identity was naturally exposed.

Gong Yangqiu didn't dare to sit there any longer, so he stood up immediately and bowed respectfully towards Shengsheng.

"My name is Gongyang Qiu, but is your master's wife, Xia Changsheng, here?"

When saying this.

There was actually a hint of doubt in her tone.

too small.
