In the morning, the sky was just dawning, and the ground was completely white.

The snowflakes were silent, and I don't know when they began to fall, but they came very violently, that is, for a short time, and the trees and roofs were like a white veil.

Xia Lin stood in the small courtyard and stayed awake all night, last night he knew that his good brother had sent someone out to find Pei'er and them, and the situation was unknown for the time being.

He also knew that Xia Zijun stood outside the door and guarded him all night, not letting him out, which was basically considered house arrest.

Snowflakes fell on his head and shoulders, and feeling the cold, Xia Lin turned around and went back to the house.

On the chair was the dress that was sent in yesterday, a white shirt, a black blazer, and even a bow tie, with a dark red background and gold trim, solemn and luxurious.

Xia Lin looked at the time and silently changed his clothes, no matter what happened to Pei'er and them, now he had to go on according to the plan.

In the front yard, today is a big day, everyone got up early.

In the courtyard there were servants clearing the snow, and under the porch lay several large stacks of bright red carpets, which were to be spread on the ground for a while, and led from the courtyard to the holy place.

Shang Yu didn't go down the mountain last night, she lived in the guest room on the second floor, and at this time she also woke up, changed into another red flag suit, and saw that it was snowing outside and put on a white fur cloak.

As soon as she was dressed, there was a knock at her door, and a servant came up and told her to come down to breakfast.

Shang Yu didn't respond, but the person went out and went downstairs.

In the dining room, Xia Qi had already sat down below, and saw her come down and click on the opposite position.

"Xia Qi, do you have something to hide from me?" Obviously, today is a ceremony to receive the ancestors and worship the ancestors, but this person is becoming more and more distant and cold, which makes her puzzled.

If Xia Qi is unwilling to marry him, then he should have shown it early in the morning, why bother picking these few days, and this person has never had a woman by his side, let alone Hongyan himself and his lover.

For Zu Xun's marriage, I don't know if I like her, but although the two didn't have too much intersection before, they both respected each other, but now why are they unfamiliar.

She asked, Xia Qi raised her head, if she didn't have a contract with the Xia family first, she couldn't read the thoughts of the Xia family, and those thoughts in her heart would have been seen through by this person a long time ago, and she didn't need to explain.

It is also thanks to her that she can't use this ability on the Xia family, so that this matter can hide everyone to the end.

Xia Qi helped her fill a bowl of porridge and said with a smile, "It's true that there is a little thing to hide from you, and you will have to go to the Holy Land to talk about it later, but don't worry, this is a good thing for you, and you will be happy." ”

Meddlesome? Shang Yu's hand on the table gradually clenched into a fist, she was originally a mind reader, whether it was good or bad, the feeling of being hidden from others made her very uncomfortable.

"It was your ancestor who saved me back then, and the contract I made with him, whether he is still alive or not, I will talk and count, but your Xia family should not go too far."

She was angry, looking at the clenched fist, Xia Qi almost clenched it, but he is a person who is more rational than everything, and he always knows what to do and what not to do.

"It's just to fulfill your marriage contract with the Xia family, there are no other arrangements, don't think too much, let's have breakfast."

Outside the hall, there were already many people waiting, and when the two of them came out after breakfast, everything was ready, just waiting to leave for the holy place to hold the ceremony.

The snow outside the door was getting heavier and heavier, and there were dozens of people standing under the corridor, although they were dressed differently, but there was a diamond-shaped triangular sign pinned to their chests, which was the flag emblem handed down by the Xia family from ancient times, and it was painted with moonstones.

Xia Qi took Shang Yu out, and the maid at the gate held up a red umbrella for the two of them because of the snow.

Taking the umbrella from the man's hand, Xia Qi took Shang Yu to step on the red carpet on the ground and go to the holy land.

The two were in front, and the others followed closely in chronological order.

Xia Lin was also among them, at the very edge, without a flag badge on his chest, looking like an outsider, next to him was Xia Zijun, and the two brothers were only half a step apart.

Xia Zijun is also wearing a black suit, unlike Xia Lin's casual, serious and neat, and he also wears the Xia family's flag emblem on his chest.

It was half an hour's walk from the front yard to the holy place, and the red carpet stretched all the way into the hole, which seemed to extend inside.

Usually the entrance to the shrine is in the middle of a stone cliff, hidden among the trees and foliage.

Today, there is a ritual in the clan, and the pattern of the cave entrance has changed directly, and the cliff is like sliding down, and dozens of steps have been formed, and the cave entrance is also very large, like a gate.

And not only that, but the originally dark hole has also become brighter at this moment, and the inside is as bright as the outside.

Coming here, everyone's expressions became very serious, this is not only the Xia family's soul treasure place, but also their soul blood.

Shaking the snowflakes on his body, everyone went in order.

At the bottom of the innermost cave, one of the guardian elders who had been sleeping there had also woken up early today, and there were three other Xia family elders standing next to him.

The two gray-clothed elders Xia Li and Xia Hong, and the other one is Xia Suxin.

The expressions of the three men were very solemn, but there were some smiles on the corners of their eyebrows, because today was a major event that everyone had been looking forward to for almost a thousand years.

It's just that Xia Suxin's expression is not beautiful, she pursed her lips and looked unhappy, but when the footsteps of those people approached, the corners of her mouth hooked, always with a little unknown meaning in it.

Xia Qi's wishful thinking is good, but today's marriage, don't think about wishful thinking.

Most of the people outside came in, and the number of famous people in the Xia family was no more than a hundred, some old and some young, looking like a group of ordinary people with an age difference, but in fact, their age difference was between hundreds of years.

The previous sect master has not heard from him for more than ten years, and it stands to reason that the position of the sect master should have been passed down a long time ago, but the ancestors have stipulated that the person who takes over the sect master must be married, so this matter has been delayed until now, but Xia Qi has always been in charge of the Xia family, and his identity is undoubtedly the same as the sect master.

After everyone stood still on the field, the guardian of this place took out a book, read a few words that he didn't understand, and then bent down and made a gesture to Xia Qi and Shang Yu who were standing in front, asking them to come forward and open the holy place after worshipping the Holy Spirit Gate.

Shang Yu naturally took a few steps forward, but she was surprised that Xia Qi did not come up, and it was Xia Lin who came out of the crowd who came to her.

Puzzled and shocked, the others had similar thoughts to her, looking at the second master of the Xia family in front of her with expressionless eyes, they looked at each other and began to whisper.
