Chapter 1112: The First Confrontation Between Light and Darkness
“Don’t say anything if you don’t know how to speak!” Huo Ling reached out her jade-like hand and knocked her head.
“This servant secretly glanced outside the courtyard just now. Lord Marquis and son-in-law have already arrived.”
Huo Ling was shy and glared at him.
The smile on Ping ‘er’s face grew wider.” After today, won’t Marquis Bei Cheng be my son-in-law?” she asked.
Huo Ling couldn’t help but stand up and was about to ” teach him a lesson ” when her brother’s voice came from outside.” Can you come in?”
The door opened.
“Brother,” Huo Ling said quietly.
Huo Jingyun was upset. He was both happy and reluctant.” Lord Marquis and the others are here. They are drinking tea in the hall. The betrothal gifts are very generous.”
He told her everything on the gift list.
“Yes.” Huo Ling replied softly.
“Today is the engagement. Father and Mother are not in the capital, so they can’t witness your happy occasion. However, their blessings have been sent to you. As your brother, I wish you happiness forever!”
Huo Ling was touched. She opened her arms and hugged her brother.
Huo Jingyun patted his sister’s back and smiled.” Ding Yi has changed his ways. It’s not a grievance for him to become the Marquis of Northern City!” If he dares to bully you, tell me and I will uphold justice for you no matter when or where.”
“Thank you, brother!”
“After the marriage is decided, you will be considered half a member of the Ding family. You can’t be like before, only focusing on martial arts and learning the art of war. The struggles in the officialdom were very tiring. In his position, even with the help of his family, it was still very difficult! The person you’re facing is very powerful. If you’re not careful, you’ll be consigned to eternal damnation.”
“I understand!”
Huo Jingyun let go of his sister and took off the [Jade Pendant] that he had always worn around his waist. It had the effect of calming one’s mind and concentration. He took her hand and placed it in his palm.” I don’t have anything to give you. This is a small token of my appreciation.”
Huo Ling accepted it solemnly and tied it around her waist.
“It’s time to go. Remember to change your mind when you reach the main hall. Lord Marquis still has a precious gift!”
He walked out of the room.
In the lobby.
When the two of them entered, Huo Ling went forward and bowed.
He took the tea from Ping ‘er and handed it over respectfully.
“Sister-in-law!” Zhang Ronghua took a sip and put down the teacup.
It was time to present the last gift.
He took out the Four Treasures of the Study from the Five Dragons Spirit Taming Belt and laid out the golden drawing paper on the table. Huo Jingyun grinded the ink while Ding Yi and Huo Ling stood together with a knowing smile.
Everyone looked expectant.
Zhang Ronghua’s calligraphy had already spread throughout the capital. It was priceless and had become a masterpiece. Now that he had personally painted it, its potential value far exceeded the painting itself.
He dipped the tip of the brush into the ink and placed it on the paper. The brush moved like a dragon and snake. He used all of his sixth level painting technique, which was close to Dao, to emphasize the artistic conception, the characters, and the joyful atmosphere. As time passed, the two figures appeared on the painting. By the time he put away the brush, the painting was already completed.
The two people in the painting were a match made in heaven and earth. The realistic artistic conception made people feel joy when they saw the painting and wish them well from the bottom of their hearts.
However, he was not done yet. He added a line of small words,” Zhang Ronghua wishes Ding Yi and Huo Ling to be engaged.” He took out his personal seal and stamped it.
He waved his right hand.
The Heaven Devouring Internal Strength landed on the painting, and the ink dried up. Under the golden light, the person in the painting seemed to come alive. He actually walked out of the painting and danced.
“This, this…” Everyone was stunned and stared at this scene.
The value of this painting could no longer be measured by money. It was not an exaggeration to call it a “treasure”.
He took out the painting box that he had prepared and carefully put the painting inside. He smiled and said,”The eighth gift!”.
“Thank you, Brother!” Huo Ling put it away solemnly.
The two of them left.
The atmosphere became livelier, and the relationship between the two sides improved.
“Lord Marquis, when do you think the marriage will be set?” asked Huo Chengcheng.
He still addressed him as Lord Marquis.
Zhang Ronghua smiled.” I’ve already calculated. The first day of next month is an auspicious day. It’s suitable for marriage. Why don’t we set it on that day?”
“Good!”
After the official business was over, both parties chatted.
..
Yingzhou.
Guang Yuan County, Apricot Blossom Town. The soil here was special and had a lot of water. It was suitable for the growth of apricot flowers, hence the name.
At the east end of the town, in the corner of the last row, there was an ordinary courtyard.
More than ten years ago.
The eldest son of the Ling Clan, Ling Fei, had made a great contribution on the battlefield. He was rewarded by the imperial court and made a lieutenant. The Ling Clan soared from the poorest family in the town to one of the people with ” real power.” Even the village chief had to be polite when he saw them. The good times did not last long. Not long after, they stepped onto the battlefield again and all the soldiers died in battle. No one survived.
Then…
A group of fleeing bandits passed by, burning, killing, and pillaging. Many families were killed, and the Ling family was the most miserable. Their entire family was wiped out, and no one survived. If it wasn’t for the quick arrival of the county government’s troops, the town’s losses would have been even greater.
After so many years, although the Ling family mansion was still there, it was completely abandoned. The courtyard was covered in dust and spider webs. The walls were covered in moss, and there was a strong musty smell.
At this moment.
An old man appeared in the courtyard. He was disguised to hide his true appearance. His name was Sword Qi Zhenren, a member of the inner circle of Light. Ever since he was saved by Zhang Ronghua at the Two World River and joined the organization, he had obtained several profound divine powers, including the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Technique. With his terrifying talent and perseverance, he broke through to the heaven ascension realm in a short period of time. His strength increased greatly, especially his sword technique. He had already mastered the first three moves of the Nine Tribulations Overturning Sea Sword Technique. No one in the same realm could block his sword.
