Star Sea Lord

()"boom--!"

The gorgeous and moving fireworks exploded in the dark night sky, showering light and rain all over the sky!

Xichen Qinglan quietly leaned against the carved jade railing, raised her head slightly, stared at the colorful fireworks exploding one after another in the night sky with her beautiful eyes, and was silent.

Such a mature beauty with a slender figure, a beautiful appearance, and a faint mysterious aura inadvertently attracted the attention of many people present. More than one man who thought he was in good condition tried to strike up a conversation, but she ignored her !

From her angle, she can clearly see the scene in the downstairs hall. Qin Qiyuan is having a happy conversation with Her Majesty the Empress, with a friendly and easy-going smile on her face, and there are many members of the Supreme Ruling Council beside her. .

Banquets of such a grand scale have been rare in recent years, and only the heads of superpowers like the Qingqiu Empire are worthy of such high-level etiquette and grand reception by the top management of the empire.

The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit!

Such a thought suddenly appeared in the Goddess of War's mind.Immediately, she laughed at herself again, when did she actually care about this?

Ever since the great sage brought her in, it seemed that besides training, her life was all about fighting; besides fighting, she was all about training!As for those conflicts of interest in the world, what does it have to do with me?

Over the years, I have been used to this kind of life. I am alone, I don't even bother to accept students, and I live a very free and easy life alone.Only after seeing the child did my life change.

Although the child's aptitude is so good that even she is a little jealous, but it seems that it is not only because of this that he can break the practice of many years.Zhou's plot, the layout of the Marshal, and the subtle changes in her own state of mind prompted her to make this decision.

He was taken home by Zhou Meng's girl today. I don't know what's going on now. Speaking of which, those rich and powerful children are just the ones who put their interests first. No matter how good they are to him, it's only because he is useful!How can he be like himself, so dedicated to cultivating and maintaining him?

"Lan Ya..." She suddenly turned her head and called softly.

"What orders does Your Highness have?" Lan Ya's slender figure appeared from the corner of the stairs and hurried towards her.

"Go and call Mo Fanli, bring some guards, and bring Xiao Junling back to Zhou's mansion," she said flatly,

"The core disciples of the Jixing Temple spent the night outside without permission. What do you say?"

Lan Ya was a little surprised, but she nodded and said, "Okay, we'll go right away!"

After she left, Xichen Qinglan checked the time, the banquet was over in less than an hour, and she thought that when she went back, she would be able to see him!I don't feel at ease if I put him alone in a place like the Zhou family!

……

"Everyone check your equipment again!"

In the basement, under the pale light, a hoarse and deep voice sounded.Dozens of masked men in gray around agreed in unison, and began to get busy one after another.The movements are crisp, neat, and not sloppy at all.

After 1 minute, the check is complete.The voice said with satisfaction: "Very good, since everyone has entered the state, let's start to act!"

"The banquet will end at [-]:[-], when all the defensive forces inside and outside the venue will start to adjust, which is the best time for us to launch! Although the action is successful or not, our brothers and sisters present will all end in death, But for the people behind us, we are not afraid of such a sacrifice!"

"Yes, everything is for our people!" All the subordinates echoed in unison.

The leader is a middle-aged man with a face as pale as paper, with a strange red light in his eyes, and his figure is hidden under a thick black robe. A pipe-shaped object appeared in front of everyone, on the dark and dull body of the pipe, hideous animal-shaped dark lines could be faintly seen.

"Although the venue is well-defended and ordinary weapons and equipment cannot be brought in, we are not without means to deal with it..."

He held the tube to his lips, pointed the other end at the wall, and blew hard.

A pitch-black thorn a few centimeters long flew out soundlessly and nailed deeply into the wall!

"This is the product that our creators have successfully researched recently. The tip of the thorn has a special energy ablation magnetic field, which can easily break through all the energy light armor defenses known to the Chinese Empire. They never imagined that we would use this to see It looks like an extremely primitive weapon!"

……

Zhou's mansion.

After the banquet was over, Xiao Junling left the hall in a nonchalant manner with Zhou Meng's support, and walked towards the residence in the back garden.

"If I had known that this drink would have such a powerful aftertaste, I wouldn't drink so much!" He put his arms around the girl's waist, sighed and said:

"I don't know if I will be able to get up tomorrow, and the teacher will take me to the Jixing Temple for a test!"

Zhou Meng pursed her lips and said with a smile: "You're doing it yourself! This kind of wine that has been stored for a long time has extraordinary stamina. You... I guess it's possible to sleep until this time tomorrow!"

Xiao Junling was startled, she suddenly let go and stood up straight, nervously said: "How can it be? The teacher will be angry! I... can't, I have to go back right away..."

As he spoke, he staggered and almost fell over.

"Hey—be careful!" Zhou Meng quickly hugged him, and said angrily:

"You're really not clear-headed? What's there to be nervous about? Just wait for the sister to get you some hangover soup! Also, this will be your home from now on, where are you going back?"

"..." Xiao Junling still wanted to say something, but his mind became more and more confused, and in the end he was almost carried into an exquisite small building by her.

"Miss, let us come!" Several maids came out to welcome them and said after saluting.

"Well, be careful!" She handed Xiao Junling into their hands, and ordered: "First bathe and change his clothes! Then..."

"Then what?" asked a maid.

Zhou Meng hesitated for a while, and said: "Put him in the 'Yunshangju' first! Ask two smart girls to wait on you at any time, and make no mistakes! Do you understand?"

The maid's eyes widened in surprise, but she didn't say anything after all, she promised and went to work.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Meng decided to go back to her room to change clothes before going to see him.

However, when she walked into the door of the boudoir, she found that An Xuanyi had been waiting here for a long time.

"Mom!" she asked in surprise, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

"I'll come and see you..." An Xuanyi got up and closed the door, then held her daughter's shoulders to look carefully, and asked after a long time:

"What do you think about Xiao Junling's child?"

Zhou Mengfan blushed, and stammered: "Mom... this... why do you ask this... people, people..."

An Xuanyi smiled and shook her head: "You child, what are you embarrassed to say to your mother? If you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it. Isn't this normal?"

Zhou Meng buried Zhenshou in her mother's arms shyly, and said softly, "You know it all, so let my daughter say something, anyway... that's how it is!"

An Xuanyi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a low laugh: "Since this is the case, Mom has nothing to worry about! Hmm! Take it..."

She took out a small sapphire bottle from her arms and handed it to her.

In an instant, Zhou Meng's pretty face blushed as if dripping water, and she couldn't hold back her shame: "Mom! You can't be in such a hurry? He's only 14 years old! I... I haven't prepared my heart yet, why did I just... At once……"

"This is what your grandfather and the others mean!" An Xuanyi smiled wryly.

"Mom also knows that it's not appropriate to do this, but there's nothing I can do. Now that there are so many eyes staring at him outside, if we don't settle this matter quickly, there may be many dreams in the night, and no one knows what will happen!"

"But...but..." Zhou Mengzhen bowed her head, twisting the corners of her skirt with her jade hands, and said hesitantly:

"You have also seen what happened today. He has already agreed. As long as the news is announced to the public, it will be a foregone conclusion. It shouldn't be..."

"Actually, he is not in a hurry now. If we do this, maybe it will be self-defeating!"

An Xuanyi said solemnly: "That's what I said, but things will change if it is not confirmed for a day! You also know that he likes you more than just you. In the future, with his achievements, he will attract more and better girls Attention is inevitable!"

"Although your conditions are good, can you guarantee that the child's thoughts will always be on you? If you don't take advantage of this favorable opportunity and seize him, if he is really going to be snatched away by others in the future, who are you going to cry to?"

"..." Zhou Meng turned around and walked to the classical vertical full-length mirror against the wall, quietly staring at herself in the mirror, silent.

She knew what her mother said was right, such an approach was indeed the most suitable choice!Since he likes him, and he can accept him in his heart, sooner or later, it doesn't seem to be that important!

Like rich women like them, the family's interests are the most important thing in marriage, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to choose independently, so it is basically impossible to find a partner that is completely in line with their wishes!This is the price of being in a wealthy family. When enjoying a luxurious life that is far beyond the reach of ordinary people, you must also bear the corresponding family responsibilities!

Therefore, there is a chance to find such a man who suits his heart, and the family fully supports it.Such a situation can be said to be a very ideal result, why do I hesitate?

An Xuanyi looked at her daughter's beautiful back, and felt very moved in her heart. Among the rich and powerful, everything is based on profit. Although the child has only been in the Imperial Army for less than half a year, the outstanding aptitude displayed has already Enough to make it hard for all the rich families in di du to ignore!

A genius who is bound to advance to the rank of Lone Star God of War, and who is also the pinnacle of the psychic powers department, is definitely worth being recruited by any force regardless of the cost!What's more, according to the analysis results of the wise men in the clan, his potential is even more than that, and it is entirely possible to aspire to a higher realm!

At that time, with such a superpower in the family, all kinds of amazing benefits that can be obtained, it makes people feel crazy to think about it!

That's why the family's decision-makers have such a plan. Although it will be difficult for the daughter to accept, it is beneficial to both the family and the daughter herself!So some trivial issues are no longer so important!

"My child, the matter is not so urgent!" An Xuanyi pondered for a while, and finally said:

"What I told you just now is your grandfather's idea, but it is not a formal decision! So if you really find it difficult to accept, Mom can go around for you and designate another suitable woman to betroth him! With your father's presence The position in the clan, this privilege can still be won."

Zhou Meng's complexion changed, and she hurriedly said: "Mom, I don't mean not to agree, it's just...can I wait a little longer? It's going to be like this now, I'm worried he will be unhappy!"

"That's good!" An Xuanyi nodded and said,

"In a word, there are so many eyes staring at your man now! You have to find a way to keep him close. If you really let him be snatched away by others, the consequences... you don't need mom to remind you !"

"..." Zhou Meng gritted her teeth, turned around suddenly and said, "Okay, since this is the case, then..."

At this moment, there was a hasty knock on the door, and a maid's voice came:

"Miss, the housekeeper of His Highness Xichen Qinglan came to visit and said that he came to pick up Young Master Xiao Junling. How do you think about it?"

"..." The expression on Zhou Meng's face froze.

An Xuanyi took a deep look at her daughter, shook her head, opened the door and walked out.
