Chapter 179 In Dayong, you can only be siblings
Hearing him talk about these things, tears welled up in Zhongli Jing's eyes.
In the modern world, she was only missing for a few months, but in the Dayong Dynasty, it lasted for more than seven years.
The time of the two worlds gradually merged after Shi Xi and Xiao Jingyan opened the ancient painting channel.
For example, now, the time in Dayong has basically stopped. It should be autumn, but it is still summer.
The modern world is now in spring, just after the Chinese New Year.
They all suspected that the entire Dayong time was merging towards modern society.
It’s just that Xiao Jingyan, who was in the game and was always busy, didn’t know about it.
Zhongli Jing also knew clearly that Shi Xi had suffered a lot during her absence, and the Shi family would definitely not treat her well.
But, there was no way, she also had her own things to do.
They cannot let anyone know that ancient paintings can open a channel through time and space.
In the past few years, Xiao Xiuyan and Zhong Lijing have been controlled by a powerful system force, allowing them to constantly travel through various places, time and space to complete a series of tasks.
As long as these tasks can be completed, they will help conceal the matter of the ancient paintings and ensure that they will never be exposed.
This is also the reason why Xiao Xiuyan and Zhong Lijing, as parents, could cruelly abandon their children Xiao Jingyan and Shi Xi.
Now, their mission is basically completed, and the subsequent arrangement for the two of them is to stay in Dayong and not go anywhere.
Some time ago, the two people who had just returned to Dayong encountered the famine in Dayong.
The two did not rush to Lingyao City to find Xiao Jingyan, but chose to stay in the capital.
Finally, he found the right opportunity to help Xiao Jingyan kill the troublemakers headed by Pei Xiang.
"Jingyan, Xixi...are you okay these days?"
Zhongli Jing asked tremblingly about Shi Xi's recent situation.
Xiao Jingyan took a deep breath and nodded.
"She's very good. Ever since she severed ties with the Shi family, she even helped pay off the two billion yuan loan that Zhongli Group owed."
"But unfortunately, Haima Supermarket was set on fire by Zhang Liansheng."
"Later, she bought a villa in Jiutang Mansion in Jintan District. Now she is no longer alone. I will always be with her, whether in life or death."
This last sentence can be regarded as a guarantee from Xiao Jingyan as a son-in-law to his mother-in-law Zhong Lijing.
However, when Xiao Xiuyan heard this, he denied it:
"Still inseparable in life and death? Now I'm married to your Aunt Zhongli, and Xixi is your stepsister."
"In Dayong, you two will always be just brother and sister!"
Xiao Xiuyan looked as if he had made up his mind.
It’s not that he is an old-fashioned person and doesn’t know how to adapt, but their Xiao family and Xiao Jingyan will sit on the throne in the future.
If news of such an incongruous marriage between step-siblings were to spread, how would they be able to rule the world?
"Father, I know that if we were ordinary people, you wouldn't be so cruel to separate us."
Xiao Jingyan's tone was rather heavy.
Having said this, he knelt down towards Xiao Xiuyan as if he had made an important decision.
"My son is unfilial. I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill my filial duties to you in the future."
"The throne of Dayong will also be left to my father to manage."
"My son is going to look for Xixi. He may never come back."
He had originally planned to go live in Shi Xi's world after all matters in Dayong were resolved.
Now it just so happens that his father has returned and has a younger brother who can fulfill his filial duties for him.
Xiao Jingyan felt that he was now free of worries.
Hearing his words, Xiao Xiuyan's eyes were filled with disbelief. After exchanging glances with Zhong Lijing, he showed a feeling of relief towards Xiao Jingyan.
As expected of his son, he is so infatuated!
"Yan'er, get up first."
Xiao Xiuyan helped Xiao Jingyan up, looked at him, and asked earnestly.
"Are you really willing to give up the Great Yong Empire that you fought so hard to conquer?"
Xiao Xiuyan knew that Xiao Jingyan was a king who loved beauty more than the country, but he still wanted to test him.
"You should know that once you sit on the throne, all the beauties in the world will be yours. Why would you care about Shi Xi?"
"Besides, you two are not from the same world!"
"Together, you will cross countless chasms!"
“Maybe you two are very sweet now, but can you guarantee that you will never have a disagreement in your life?”
After hearing so much from his father, Xiao Jingyan did not rush to refute.
He also knew that the gap between him and Shi Xi was like two worlds apart, but during this period of time he had been trying his best to understand Shi Xi's world.
If the two of them want to love each other and stay together, someone must make concessions and changes.
What's more, he owed Shi Xi too much. Even if he couldn't marry Shi Xi in this life, he would go to Shi Xi, serve as a slave, and repay her with a favor.
"Father, I have made up my mind."
"As for Xixi, I will never let go in my life. Unless she hates me, I will never let go of her hand."
Xiao Jingyan has made up his mind about this matter and will not change it easily.
Zhongli Jing, who was listening quietly on the side, was also very satisfied with this son-in-law.
If she entrusts her precious daughter Xixi to his care, he will definitely value Shixi more than her own life.
Without waiting for his parents to say anything else, Xiao Jingyan knelt down again with his hands clasped in his hands.
"Father, Aunt Zhongli, please don't interfere with what's going on between me and Xixi."
"Aunt Zhongli, if you feel that I can't take better care of Xixi, you can test me at any time."
Every word Xiao Jingyan said came from the heart.
How could Zhongli Jing not hear it?
"Jingyan, Auntie trusts you and is relieved to leave Xixi in your care."
"It's a pity that you can't hold your wedding in the Great Yong Dynasty, and we can't watch you get married."
Due to the rules, they could only be siblings in the Dayong Dynasty.
"Don't worry, auntie, and please don't worry, father. In modern times, I will definitely take good care of Xixi. I will give her whatever wedding she wants."
Xiao Jingyan had a smile on his face.
I can finally have a legitimate reason and get my parents' blessings.
"But, if you go to that world, you won't even have a proper identity."
Xiao Xiuyan is still a father who loves his children very much and is worried about Xiao Jingyan.
As soon as he said this, Zhongli Jing patted his shoulder in dissatisfaction and asked:
"Do you not trust my connections, or do you not trust the strength of my Zhongli family?"
"When Xixi comes, I'll give her a few instructions, and she'll naturally be able to find someone to help us get Yan'er a formal identity."
Zhongli Jing was very confident about this.
But soon, her face fell again.
"But Yan'er is only eighteen years old this year. In our country, he hasn't even started college yet, and he hasn't reached the legal marriage age. If he wants to marry Xixi, he'll probably have to wait at least three to five years."
Xiao Jingyan was also dissatisfied with this sentence.
It's really not easy for me to be with Shi Xi.
However, it only takes three to five years, he can afford to wait!
"Don't worry, Aunt Zhongli. I heard Xixi say before that at my age, I still have to go to college there."
"I also plan to learn more and enhance my understanding of the society there so that I can better integrate into it."
Xiao Jingyan was already prepared.
After chatting about other things for a while, Xiao Xiuyan and Zhong Lijing wanted Xiao Jingyan to find Shi Xi and bring her to Dayong Dynasty, so that their family of five could be officially reunited.
Moreover, they also planned to invite Shi Xi to attend Xiao Xiuyan's coronation ceremony in a few days and give her the title of princess.
"However, I am the only living thing that can freely travel back and forth through this ancient painting passage."
"Xixi, I'm afraid she won't be able to come over."
Xiao Jingyan was very confused about this.
Zhongli Jing didn't say anything, just smiled mysteriously at him and dripped her blood onto the screen.
The scene was like a calm lake that was suddenly hit by a stone and ripples spread out.
"Go in now and see if you can bring her back with you."
Zhongli Jing ordered.
Xiao Jingyan walked into the painting full of hope.
