In the three-storey small building in the Duke's mansion, the real bride Su Dongdong was wearing a hijab, sitting obediently on a chair, not listening to anything outside the window, and wholeheartedly waiting for a man to come to marry her.
The fake bride, Artemis, doesn't have the concentration, so she is leaning on the window and looking around.
"Are you sure we don't need to help him?" Artemis looked anxiously at the battle outside the wall, and asked, "How can you still sit still? Is he your man? He was killed what to do?"
"It's not like you weren't there when we were sleeping." Su Dongdong said, "Don't you know whether he is my man or not?"
"I was cut off from seeing and hearing at the time, how did I know that you were really sleeping and pretending to be sleeping?"
"Stop pretending, your face is redder than mine after everything."
"I imagined that scene, I didn't really see anything..."
Su Dongdong said quietly: "In your imagination, have you replaced me with yourself?"
"You..." Artemis' cheeks were flushed, and then he turned his head and said, "Yes, what's the matter? My younger siblings are all married, and I have attended sixteen weddings. Do you know what it felt like at that time? At this age, do I imagine breaking the law now?"
"You look outside the wall, why are you looking at me?" Su Dongdong asked anxiously.
"Oh, it turned out to be pretending to be calm." Artemis gave Su Dongdong a white look, "If you want to see it, don't hold it up, come and watch it with me."
"No, once I appear in front of the window, it may affect his battle status." Su Dongdong said.
"Su Dongdong, I don't like to hear your words." Artemis said, "Oh, you, the fourth wife, will affect his state, and I, the sixth... Senior sister, won't affect him?"
Su Dongdong said: "Artemis, you almost told the truth, right? Returning to Mrs. Six? You are really shameless. Let me tell you, you should give up your heart. I will never allow this to happen. My sister won't agree either."
"It's not up to you two sisters to decide on this matter," Artemis said.
"Hmph, Lin Shuo doesn't like you either."
"Lin Shuo can't be the master either."
"Then there is something wrong with what you said." Su Dongdong said, "You are trying to marry Lin Shuo, but Lin Shuo can't make the decision himself?"
"Hmph." Artemis said, "Marriage has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. When will it be his turn to decide?"
"This is the feudal ideology here on your side, but on our side..." Su Dongdong finally realized something when he said this, "Artemis, what do you mean? What is the order of parents?"
"I..." Artemis stomped his feet, "In this case, I won't hide it from you. My master told me when I was a child that she has a son overseas, and when she breaks the barrier of the gods When I grow up, I will marry her son."
"Ah?" Su Dongdong was stunned, "Is there such a thing?"
"Of course." Artemis said, "This is what she told me back then. I am not only her apprentice, but also the daughter-in-law she is looking for. If you really talk about it, you five wives are wild, I'm the wife who should be married to him. Oh, by the way, you haven't married him yet, you're not even his wife!"
Su Dongdong was trembling with anger, touched his chest, took a few breaths, straightened out his breath, and then said: "No, you are lying!"
"How did I lie?"
"Since you are the daughter-in-law my mother-in-law is looking for, why did you make an engagement with the third prince before?" Su Dongdong said, "One daughter does not marry two husbands. Since you have an engagement with the third prince, even if my mother-in-law promised before Whatever happened to you, it doesn’t matter, you gave up yourself!”
"The marriage contract with the third prince was not made by me." Artemis said, "It was made by the emperor and my father, and it is my father's fate, so I can only find various reasons to delay it.
When I was twenty-five years old, this engagement was made, and it was like a bolt from the blue when I found out.
I am thirty-seven years old this year, do you know what I have thought of to delay this marriage in the past twelve years
In the end, I really had no choice but to defile myself.
I spent money to hire people to publicize my stigma, hoping that the third prince would take the initiative to cancel the engagement, so Nemea and Amphitrite caught me and exiled me.
And being exiled overseas was also my initiative.
Because when the barrier of the gods is broken, I can know immediately that my man is coming.
Su Dongdong, do you know how I felt when I was convinced that Lin Shuo was my master's son
I have been waiting for him for thirty years!
Thirty years!
And you, Su Dongdong! How long have you known him? ! "
At the end of Artemis' words, her eyes were almost red and her voice was hoarse.
The secret that has been buried in my heart for a long time, the obsession for so many years, and the various grievances I have suffered these days are finally expressed at this moment.
She broke down emotionally and sat down by the window, crying with her head in her arms.
At this time, Su Dongdong believed it in his heart.
Because since the team met Artemis, Su Dongdong, as Artemis' maid in name, spent a lot of time alone and stayed together when they had nothing to do.
As a practitioner who was born as an assassin, Su Dongdong is good at getting information, so she has been spying on this woman, and at the same time, she can see that this woman has a lot of things hidden in her heart, and she is quite vigilant Gao, has been refusing to say.
A person's words can be concealed, but his actions cannot be faked. She began to get close to Lin Shuo intentionally or unintentionally, this is a fact.
What is the reason for this behavior? Su Dongdong also thought about it, but couldn't find the answer.
Su Dongdong fell in love with Lin Shuo very quickly, but there was a reason for that. At first, she wanted to take revenge on her sister, but later she found that the man was indeed attractive, and she fell into it unknowingly.
As for why Artemis fell in love with Lin Shuo and approached him, Su Dongdong was a little puzzled, because Lin Shuo's defense was actually good enough, at least better than when he was defending himself.
Now hearing what Artemis said, Su Dongdong finally understood.
Seeing this woman's bitterness and hatred, Su Dongdong, who had a cold face and a warm heart, couldn't harden his heart.
Right now, her mind is in a mess. In the distance, her man is fighting with a peerless master, and his life is uncertain. Nearby, this woman has committed such a thing as the order of her parents.
It's just that as the fourth wife of the Lin family, the principles that should be adhered to should still be adhered to.
If other women want to enter the Lin family, if there is no way until the last moment, she must not express her approval.
At this time, Artemis cried terribly, but he couldn't be 100% sure that it was true. There was nothing to talk about until he saw his mother-in-law.
While sorting out his emotions, Su Dongdong only heard Queen Mother Xi say in the depths of his consciousness: "Fourth brother, don't wander off now, this woman is emotionally broken and has lost her mind, and Tu Liang downstairs has lost control.
The punch that Lin Shuo is going to receive is no small matter, I have to save one hand to help him, and the power I can mobilize is very limited now, so I can't take care of you for the time being.
Don't die, or I will be the fourth lady. "
"You think beautifully!" Su Dongdong recited silently, then lifted the hijab on his head, and wiped the hair with his hand, and the nine different kinds of silk were already in the palm of his hand.
And at this moment, outside the Duke's mansion, the old national teacher threw out a punch.
…
Lin Shuo ran over to pick up Lord Chase from Yang Baokun before, so his current position is not far from the outer wall, and behind him is the entire Xiangshan Duke's Mansion.
From this angle, Artemis' line of sight was blocked by the outer wall just now, and she couldn't see Lin Shuo herself. She could only see the national teacher standing thirty meters away.
The old master faced Lin Shuo, facing the Xiangshan Duke's Mansion.
Therefore, since his punch was aimed at Lin Shuo, it was also aimed at the Duke's mansion.
Just this punch, the speed at which it was delivered was not fast, but it brought out a kind of great power.
Miao Chengyun, Mi Bai, and Xia Houxuan have all retreated hundreds of meters at this moment.
Among them, Mi Bai and Xia Houxuan knew the ability of the national teacher, and knew that since his punch was earth-shattering, they naturally had to hide as far away as possible.
Miao Chengyun belongs to the class of learning from others, and he just follows when others run.
Looking back at this moment, he saw the old national teacher punching out. In Miao Chengyun's perception, he only felt that the space between heaven and earth was suddenly empty.
Miao Chengyun is a practitioner of the Nine Realms of Yang Bagua, who is very sensitive to the eight natural forces between heaven and earth.
In the time and space invisible to ordinary people, these eight forces are either independent or independent of each other, with different shapes and properties.
But no matter what, these things are there, Miao Chengyun can sense them, and can borrow them.
And when the old master's punch came out, within a hundred miles, this is also the limit range that Miao Chengyun can perceive these powers at present, and these eight natural forces of heaven and earth suddenly disappeared.
The old master's right fist was like a huge vortex, engulfing and condensing the surrounding natural forces in it, and then blasted out with one punch.
Therefore, ordinary practitioners may not know how powerful this punch is, but Miao Chengyun knows it all too well.
After Mr. Miao watched Lin Shuo compete with the old master, he was actually a bit eager for skills.
This old man is a peerless master, he looks similar to his own old man, such a chance to fight is actually very rare.
In the end, he miscalculated. Just now, he swung Lin Shuo down with the power of Xunfeng, causing the two of them to punch each other directly, so he took advantage of the situation to decide the winner, and it was inappropriate to fight for this fight by himself.
Miao Chengyun estimated that the three opponents present, one man and one woman, were just like that.
It is indeed very strong, but it is roughly at the level of Chu Hongyi and He Yongchang. The nine realms are perfect and has its own system, but its ability is not comprehensive enough. It is not a big problem to win them one-on-one.
This old man is very powerful, if he fights life and death, he may not be able to beat him.
However, if they just change their moves according to the agreement, then there will be more calculations involved. I should not lose on the scene, and there is a high probability that it will be a tie.
And Lin Shuo is no weaker than himself, and this should be the result.
But after witnessing this punch from the Tianlan Empire's national teacher, Miao Chengyun couldn't help feeling a little flustered.
It seemed like he couldn't handle this punch.
The old man's fist was extremely domineering, and his doorway was very deep. He snatched away all the power of nature, and his ability to gossip was completely useless.
If you bite the bullet and accept it, you can only open the last door in the yin and gossip, which is the door of death.
This is the strongest skill of Yin Bagua, but just as the name suggests, it will end badly if you open the door to death.
There is a high probability of death, and if you don't die, your cultivation base will be completely abolished.
So if you open the dead door to catch it, even if you catch the punch, it's meaningless.
In the blink of an eye, Miao Chengyun only had time to think so many thoughts in his head, and then he panicked and shouted:
"Lin Shuo, don't really die! I can't afford to have so many wives and children!"
