I impatiently socialized with the nobles who came to strike up a conversation with me. Helen and Avril were no longer jealous. They huddled together and discussed something, but they still couldn't leave me for three sentences! After the party ended, I hurriedly pulled Helen and Avril away from this boring place!
Before I reached the palace gates, I saw Duke Clark standing there with a smile on his face. I politely walked up to him and asked,""Why hasn't the old duke returned to the manor? Are you waiting for someone?"
"Of course, I'm here to wait for our Earl!" Clark nodded.”
I smiled and said,"Your Excellency the Duke must be joking. I'm just a small Earl. How would I dare to make you wait?"”
Clark shook his head and said," Young man, you don't seem to like this kind of ball. You know, you'll be separated from the upper class!" If you want to rise up, you have to learn to interact with others! The noble circle was different from the army, but sometimes the power of the nobles was stronger than an army! Since you've already entered this circle, it's impossible for you to be alone! You have to learn the way and attitude of the nobles. If you are isolated by the nobles, I'm afraid that your future will be difficult!
" I looked at Ke Lake ambiguously and asked with a puzzled look,""Your Excellency the Duke, what do you mean by telling me these things? I don't believe that you're just doing this out of the feelings of an elder towards a junior! After all, you just met him today, didn't you?”Clark was still smiling.""Haha, you don't have to think too much. I don't have any ill intentions. I just hope that you can grow up as soon as possible. Besides, I owe your Ximen family a favor!”
I bowed deeply to Ke Lake and said,"I feel like I've been taught by His Excellency the Duke!”Clark waved his hand and said," In private, I'll call you Duke. You're just like Helen. You don't mind calling me Grandpa, right?"”I laughed dryly. This old man was taking advantage of me! But looking at his age, he can really be my grandfather! I nodded with a smile.”Clark pulled me along and exchanged a few more pleasantries before getting into the carriage and disappearing into the dark night!
Clark sat in the carriage as if he was talking to himself. Kid, the waters of nobility run deep. How far you can go depends on yourself. Then, he changed his posture and closed his eyes to rest! I brought Helen and the others home, but the two girls refused to accompany me! It turned out that the two girls 'good friends had arrived on the same day! I had no choice but to return to my room and feel depressed! In my boredom, I set up a barrier and began to cultivate!
I sat cross-legged on the bed and began to circulate my battle energy. I don't know why, but I haven't been able to feel any progress in my battle energy these past few days. No matter how much I cultivate, it seems like I'm doing nothing! I tried my best to condense the Dou Qi in my body. I compressed it again and again and released it again and again. I didn't know how many times I had completed it, but my back was already drenched! Damn it, I don't believe I can't break through to Swordsman! And so, I began the cycle again! In the blink of an eye, the sky had already turned white. I still looked like a cultivator in pain. The pain made me suffer time and time again. However, after each pain, I felt a change in my body. Slowly, I began to not suppress the pain but look forward to it even more!
Suddenly, I felt that my battle energy had reached a point where I could not withstand it. I clenched my fist and roared as I slammed it into the ground. After a loud sound, a deep pit with a diameter of about two meters appeared on the ground. I broke through! He had finally broken through! I'm a fucking genius! Light blue combat qi is the symbol of a beginner swordmaster. I didn't expect that I would actually surpass my level! Haha! My maniacal laughter echoed in the empty room as I recalled! It was just isolated by the barrier! Otherwise, he would definitely attract his family! I twisted my neck and felt the changes in myself. Damn it, I'll show you what a Charge Mage is like in the future! 'Hahaha…'
When I came out of my room, it was already the afternoon of the second day. I had just bought the door when I saw Avril and Helen sitting in the garden and chatting about something. An idea suddenly came to my mind. I hid my aura and quietly approached them! "Avril, what do you think happened to my husband? Why did he set up a barrier in his room? Even if you're afraid of disturbing your cultivation, you should at least tell us!”Helen said worriedly. Avril also had a helpless expression."Who knows what he's up to! When he comes out, I'll definitely teach him a lesson. He doesn't put us in his eyes!”
Oh, so these two little girls are worried about me. Hehe, it's not in vain for me to dote on them! Like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, I pulled the two girls into my arms and said with a lecherous expression,"Why? Do you miss your husband? Alright, I'll take good care of my two little girls!”The two girls were furious when someone suddenly grabbed their waists, but when they heard my lazy and lascivious voice, they didn't refute at all. Helen looked at me behind her and said,"Husband, I miss you!" The words " I miss you " warmed my heart. I kissed Helen's forehead tenderly and said,""We'll have plenty of time to be together in the future! "Avril didn't want to be outdone and snuggled into my arms, greedily inhaling her familiar scent."Yu, you should go to the Land Department of the Empire to receive your fief today!”After hearing Avril's words, I remembered that I still have a piece of land that I haven't claimed yet! So I brought the two girls and called a carriage to go straight to the Land Bureau!
I found Count Nassie from the Land Division and explained my intentions. He immediately took out a map of the Lolan Empire and placed it in front of me."Young Master Ximen, as long as it's a place marked in yellow, you can choose it as your fief!”
I looked at the vast map and couldn't make up my mind. Avril poked my waist and said,"Yu, you don't need to manage your own fief. Other than the taxes that you have to pay, the rest will be settled by the Lord himself! Therefore, he had to pick a better place!”The little girl didn't have the awareness that this was her own land. I nodded and said to the Colt Province, which was adjacent to the magic beast forest,"I want this place!" Nassiya looked at me strangely and said,""Young Master Ximen, are you really going to choose Colt?”
I nodded! "Yu, how can you take this place!" Avril hurriedly pulled me aside. Do you know that Colt's people are tough and it's adjacent to the Magical Beast Forest? It can be said to be a barren land! Why did you choose that place?" I smiled and said,"Girl, you'll know in the future!" In the eyes of others, this place might be a barren mountain and a treacherous river, but in my eyes, this is a treasure chest!”Avril still looked at me with a puzzled expression, but since I said that, she didn't refute me! Because she knew that I would never shoot arrows for no reason! Soon, the procedures were settled and I left the Land Division with the two girls!
When I returned home, I called a guard over and said,"Go to Babylon City and find a person called Sophie. Tell her to bring her men and set off immediately. Go!" Then I turned to Avril and said,""Are you coming with me?" Avril nodded firmly and said,""Go, I will follow you wherever you go! No matter how dangerous it is, I won't leave! But I have to tell my father first! Wait for me, I'll go back now!" I watched Avril's back as she left, and my heart instantly warmed up! I looked at Helen, but before I could say anything, Helen said,""Yu, don't leave me behind!" I laughed dryly and went to look for Mother!
For the next few days, I stayed at home with my mother and listened to her talk about my past mischievous things. It was really heartwarming! However, she was still very curious about my change. She almost made me speechless a few times!
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of departure. Looking at my mother ordering the servant girls to pack my things, I suddenly had an indescribable feeling. I threw myself into my mother's arms and said faintly,"Mother, I'll bring you over when I've settled down!”My mother patted me kindly and sobbed,""Yu 'er has grown up!" I held back my tears and left my mother's warm embrace. I sat in the carriage and waved my hand."Let's go!" The procession slowly moved forward, leaving only my mother's sad tears and my echoes.
Along the way, I was immersed in the emotional atmosphere of separation between mother and son. Helen and Avril stayed by my side and did everything they could to make me happy! I gently held the two girls in my arms, feeling the warmth that made me feel at ease. To be honest, I really hoped that time would stop at this moment!
Five days later, my convoy encountered Wolf Fang led by Fei 'er! Looking at the murderous Wolf Fang, I nodded in satisfaction and said,"Brothers, from now on, the Colt Province will be our world! I hope that your arrival will allow this place to enjoy a long period of peace! I hope that I can share happiness and hardship with you! This is not your comfort zone, but the beginning of your cruel training! Tell me, are you afraid?" "I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid!" "Very good. Now, I order Wolf Fang to immediately head to the Colt Province!”I look like I'm the king
