"You were born in the North and were rescued in the cold winter. Although you have no bloodline from me, you have my name. Chu Qing, I declare that you have come of age today. You are a legal citizen and a close relative loyal to me. From now on "Get up, you must wield the sword for the family and fight for the glory of my family. If you do evil, I will punish you with my own hands." After reading the declaration, His Highness raised the sword in his hand, and Mabu walked to stand at the foot of the stairs. Chu Qing.
The queen raised her sword. The snow-white scabbard was engraved with ancient mythological reliefs from the North. The ends of the black feathers spread out toward the palm of the hand gradually turned white, the color of the white-feathered crow's wings.
"Why doesn't my son respond?"
The crowd who came to watch the ceremony whispered to each other uneasily. Commander-in-Chief Gu Biao pointed at Chu Qing and seemed to be telling the chief gunman on the side that this kid seemed to be rebelling.
"Mother." The boy called in a hoarse voice, exactly like the rainy day in his memory, "Years ago, in your courtyard, I made another vow to a girl."
People's conversations suddenly stopped, and the Bird's Beak Hall, filled with dozens of people, suddenly became as silent as an underground ice cellar.
"I swear to marry that girl. I love her more than anything in the world, and she is far higher than my humble life. That girl is your daughter Gongyue." The words aroused echoes in the hall, and she stood at the door. The girl also shed tears, but she smiled at the same time, her eyes never leaving Chu Qing for a moment.
"Nonsense!" The master stood up from his seat and roared, and the noisy conversation reappeared. People had long known that there was an affair between Chu Qing and Gong Yue. They thought it would naturally subside over time, but they never expected that he was actually teaching the sword style. Go up and propose marriage to your daughter.
"If I cannot abide by my oath, then I am not worthy of accepting the sword given by you." The young man emphasized, but the master's stern roar failed to make him flinch.
"You are so bold." His Highness closed his eyes and raised his head slightly, but a joyful smile broke out on his face, "The Gong family has inherited the angelic guardianship ability of the white-feathered crow, which has been powerful in the North for thousands of years, but I will accept it as Family members, even if you say these words during the sword ceremony today, I still don’t regret my decision.”
"But I cannot agree to your request today. In the future, you will soon grow into a man that satisfies me. Mong Yue may become your bride, and she can marry you."
"Thank you." Chu Qing thanked him as before, but today he understood what he was grateful for. His Highness saved himself from dying, and falling in love with Gongyue gave his life meaning.
"I am willing to be loyal to you and to the motherland forever." The young man declared. His Highness stabbed the boy's thigh hard with the scabbard of his sword, forcing him to kneel down.
"This is for you to remember." Lin Xuerou said. She pulled out her long sword, and the blade protected by the inscription shone brightly. "This sword is called "Xiyu". From now on, every time you hold this sword, you must Thinking of the vows made under the morning light today. "
"In the name of the white-feathered crow."
Chu Qing turned back to look for the girl again, and she nodded with satisfaction. Enough is enough, and the young man's heart seems to be on fire. Whether it is the dying cold in the memory or the sentimental girl staring at the falling flowers in the courtyard, they have already received my response.
"In the name of my soul."
"A huge torrent rises in the abyss of the sea. Storms and lightning are always surrounding the water column. It holds up the island in the sky, and the sacred tree exists in the center of the island."
