How long has it been since you responded to the White Tiger Duke Mansion?
Dai Yueheng was confused by Xia Linyuan's inexplicable question, but he still explained very patiently, "I go home once every year during the holidays. What's wrong?"
"Actually, it's nothing." Xia Linyuan smiled slightly, "I just want to ask senior Dai Yueheng how my fiancée Dai Yunjin is doing at the White Tiger Duke Mansion now."
"Except for meeting Yun Jin once when I was six years old, I have been busy fighting the invasion of Abyssal Creatures on the front line of Abyss in the past few years, as well as studying. I have never had a suitable opportunity to visit her. I can only buy some gifts and send them to the Duke's Mansion to express my concern. I wonder if she will complain that I don't care enough about her because I haven't visited her in all these years."
As soon as Xia Linyuan said this, the air suddenly became quiet. Except for Gu Yuena, who had known it for a long time, everyone looked at Xia Linyuan with a faint smile on his face in shock. The person involved was even more violently shaken.
The marriage between the Molong Xia Clan and White Tiger Dai Clan seven years ago was not widely publicized by either family, so outsiders who did not know about it did not know that Xia Linyuan, whom they regarded as a sweet man and a golden son-in-law, had already been engaged for a long time, although he was not the official wife.
Except for Dai Yueheng, who had a stiff smile on his face, the eyes of the other six Inner Court disciples were burning with gossip, and they were looking forward to Xia Linyuan's next revelations, as if they were just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Ma Xiaotao also didn't expect that his casual question would cause Duke of White Tiger Dai Hao, who always had an upright personality, to be suspected of collapsing the house.
Dai Yueheng As soon as Dai Hao stood up, Dai Hao was very self-disciplined when it came to women's sex and was loyal to marriage. Then Xia Linyuan showed up and gave her a hard slap on the face.
After all, just the fact that the girl who is engaged to Xia Linyuan has the surname Dai almost explains everything, let alone the fact that she can marry Xia Linyuan, who is the son of a duke.
Among the fourteen of them, only two girls, Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan, were from serious grassroots backgrounds, and Huo Yuhao, a noble who was not from a noble family, the others all came from various prestigious families.
Although Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan are not from well-known families, they are just not from well-known families, and they are not stupid. Anyone with a normal mind will know the fishiness of political marriages and business marriages.
Marriage is not something that one party just wants to do. A marriage between two families will definitely go through many considerations, such as whether the identities of both parties are true or false, and their status in their respective families.
Most of the two parties in the marriage are a strong alliance, and their family backgrounds are not too different, or they learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses... Anyway, they will never marry with unknown people, just like White Tiger Duke Mansion and Star Luo Empire, Zhu Family from the prime minister's family, have been married for thousands of years.
If Dai Yueheng couldn't find a girl who could match Martial Soul among the women of the Zhu Family's generation, otherwise Shrek Academy might have an extra pair like Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.
When Molong Xia Clan agreed to marry White Tiger Dai Clan, it also confirmed the fact that the blood of the White Tiger Dai Clan flows in Dai Yunjin.
Combined with what Dai Yueheng just said, Dai Hao only has one wife, Duchess, and Duchess only has two children and one daughter, and Dai Hao is very self-disciplined when it comes to women.
So, it is known that Duchess's only daughter has been married to the Zhu Family's heir, so where did Xia Linyuan's fiancée-Dai Yunjin suddenly appear?
Taking into account all the circumstances, there are only two possible answers.
Duke of White Tiger--Dai Hao, who is very self-disciplined in female sex and loyal to marriage, has collapsed!
Only then did they realize that Dai Hao, who looked tough and had an iron-blooded temperament, was a hero to the Star Luo Empire, but he was by no means a qualified husband.
And when they heard that Xia Linyuan was actually engaged, Tang Wulin and Wang Dong didn't know why, their mouths were full of bitterness, and their hearts were filled with mixed emotions.
Ning Tian and Jiang Nannan couldn't help but look back and forth between Xia Linyuan and Gu Yuena.
Dai Hao Let's put aside the collapse of the house. Since Xia Linyuan is engaged to the girl named "Dai Yunjin", what is going on between him and Gu Yuena? Is it possible that he plans to have three wives and four concubines? Or is he planning to terminate the engagement with his fiancée? Or...
Feeling their gaze, Gu Yuena rolled his eyes angrily, "Why are you looking at me? Is there an answer you want to know on my face? If you want to see it, just watch Xia Linyuan!"
Xia Linyuan continued to say indifferently, "I thought that if the Yun Jin talent of White Tiger Martial Soul who awakens the evil eye is not that good, but the top Beast Martial Soul plus my help, at least we can meet at the Shrek Academy."
"But I never thought that Yun Jin, who was born as a concubine, has lived in such a miserable state in the White Tiger Duke Mansion these years. She is so miserable that even if she is my fiancée, Xia Linyuan, she will still be regarded as an existence that cannot be dealt with."
"I know that I am the least qualified person to say this. After all, as a fiancé, I have been indifferent to my fiancée all year round. I don't even know how miserable her life is."
"I, Molong Xia Clan, have been treating White Tiger Duke Mansion as an ally who can turn our backs to each other for so many years, but White Tiger Duke Mansion not only does not regard Molong Xia Clan as an ally, but also throws Molong Xia Clan's face on the ground like garbage and tramples on it wantonly. Where do you White Tiger Duke Mansion put us Molong Xia Clan!"
At the end of the sentence, Xia Linyuan's expression had completely cooled down, "Well, I think, should White Tiger Duke Mansion give me and the whole Molong Xia Clan a reasonable explanation for this matter?"
"This, it's not, I..." Dai Yueheng wanted to explain incoherently, but he didn't know where to start. Today, for the first time, he finally experienced what it means to have difficulty explaining something.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, Gu Yuena calmly showed Xia Linyuan a gesture she had recently learned from him: the middle finger.
You really know how to pretend. You know the situation of your "fiancée" better than anyone else, but you have to pretend to be a good person here. If you don't pretend for one day, you will die, right?
But in the next second, whether it was an illusion or not, Gu Yuena felt that Xia Linyuan seemed to glance in her direction, and she was so frightened that she quickly clenched her fists.
None of the people who were eating the melon noticed that Huo Yuhao, who was sitting on the side with his fingers deeply dug into the soil, was staring blankly at Xia Linyuan with a cold expression. His eyes heated up, and there was water mist in front of his eyes, which completely blocked her sight.
Xia Linyuan gave him a minute to explain, but after one minute passed, the incoherent Dai Yueheng couldn't explain what happened, and he completely lost his patience.
"Senior Dai Yueheng, since you can't give me a reasonable explanation, then this matter can only be handed over to someone who can solve it."
Xia Linyuan Leng Leng said, "I will tell my mother about this matter, and she will go and negotiate with the court in person. Although Yun Jin is of Duke of White Tiger's blood, after this incident, I don't think she has any need to stay in the White Tiger Duke Mansion."
"She, I Xia Linyuan will take her away!" Xia Linyuan said in a round and sonorous voice, "If you White Tiger Duke Mansion have any objections to this, Molong Xia Clan will stay with you until the end."
After saying that, Xia Linyuan ignored Dai Yueheng's already livid face and walked away.
Seeing this scene, Inner Court disciples and Ning Tian couldn't help but be shocked by Xia Linyuan's determination.
In less than two days, Xia Linyuan had already had conflicts with Xuan Zi and Dai Yueheng, and they both directly broke up with each other without any thought of leaving any leeway.
Xia Linyuan really refuses to wrong himself at all!
Everyone smiled bitterly and shook their heads, but they all felt that there was nothing wrong with what Xia Linyuan did.
If they had the courage and confidence of Xia Linyuan, if something like this happened to them, they would probably do even better than others.
Looking at Xia Linyuan's back, Dai Yueheng's face turned blue and white, looking very ugly.
He didn't expect that Xia Linyuan would be so decisive, even disregarding the friendship between the two families for so many years, leaving no face for him in front of so many people, and embarrassing him so much. Where should he put his face?
A breath of depression can make Dai Yueheng so angry that his whole body becomes cold and his hands and feet become numb.
It was getting darker and darker, and since no fires were allowed, it felt a bit like being blind in the forest.
"Linyuan..." After gathering his emotions, Huo Yuhao approached Xia Linyuan.
Seeing that it was Huo Yuhao, Xia Linyuan's frown relaxed and he asked calmly, "Huo Yuhao, what's the matter?"
Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Can I hug you?"
Can I give you a hug?
Xia Linyuan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Why are you hugging me?"
Looking at Xia Linyuan, Huo Yuhao pursed his lips, and then rushed directly to hug him, with a hint of crying in his voice, "Thank you, Linyuan..."
Xia Linyuan had an undisguised look of disgust on his face, "Go away, don't rub your tears and snot on my clothes. Even if I drag you away and sell this clothes, you won't be able to afford it."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao hugged her tighter.
There wasn't much movement here, but in the quiet night it was like birds gathering together, and other people naturally noticed them.
Normally, they would have laughed and made a fuss, but after what happened just now when Xia Linyuan angrily criticized Dai Yueheng, they found that Xia Linyuan was not willing to wrong them at all. Now they just want to protect themselves, so as not to accidentally touch other people's troubles and bring disaster to others.
After hugging him for a while, Huo Yuhao blushed and let him go, "I'm sorry, Linyuan, I was too excited, so..."
"It doesn't matter, but..." Xia Linyuan suddenly smiled wildly, "You just heard it, right? That girl named Dai Yunjin, because she is a concubine, even if she is my Xia Linyuan's fiancée, in their eyes, she still can't handle her."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's face suddenly turned pale.
Xia Linyuan continued, "I don't know why you still have illusions about Duke of White Tiger, but what I can tell you clearly is that under the elimination inheritance system that White Tiger Duke Mansion has inherited for thousands of years, it will not be a good thing to stand out in the direct line. This sentence also applies to Duke of White Tiger."
"I still say the same thing, don't think too much and don't have any illusions about him. The facts are the facts. No matter how unwilling you are to believe it, you can't change the facts."
As soon as Xia Linyuan finished speaking, as if they had made an appointment, Inverted Clone happened to come back, "Everyone, come here."
Xia Linyuan smiled at her and said, "Think about it yourself."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Inverted Clone, leaving Huo Yuhao standing there in a daze.
"I just investigated the surrounding situation and have discovered the following points so far."
"First, there is a Wenlan Tree that likes shade and coldness growing nearby. The tree's heart is very helpful in cultivating Spirit Master of the shade-cold type Martial Soul. And just now I found a Wenlan Tree trunk with its heart hollowed out. Based on the information, it is very likely that the leader of the Death's Hand Bandit Group is Evil Spirit Master."
"Second, we have entered the core area of the Mingdou Mountains, or at least the edge of the core area."
"Third, the woods ahead are the largest Wenlan Tree woods I have ever seen, so it is very possible that we got close to the enemy's lair."
Ma Xiaotao asked subconsciously, "Then Teacher Naiya, what should we do now? Should we wait and wait?"
Inverted Clone smiled slightly, "Our numbers are far inferior to the enemy. If we adopt the strategy of waiting for rabbits, I'm afraid we will be the rabbits, so I plan to catch them by surprise."
"They are very cautious in what they do, and their whereabouts are covered up extremely well. In addition, it is already dark, so there are almost no traces. But don't forget, we still have Huo Yuhao and Spiritual Detection."
"With Huo Yuhao and Spiritual Detection here, it is not difficult to find these traces that have been deliberately covered up. On the contrary, it is very easy."
"Huo Yuhao." Inverted Clone called out, but received no response.
"Huo Yuhao?" Inverted Clone called again in confusion, but still no one responded.
No one responded twice in a row. Everyone looked left and right in confusion, and finally fixed their eyes on Huo Yuhao, who was standing behind with a deep look and a thoughtful expression.
Seeing everyone's eyes turning over, Wang Dong was sweating profusely and calmly touched Huo Yuhao's arm.
Feeling the touch on his arm, Huo Yuhao recovered from his meditation, "What's wrong?"
I'm dizzy! Wang Dong Everyone was speechless. Didn't you really notice that something was wrong in the atmosphere at this time?
Seeing Wang Dong looking speechless and dead, Huo Yuhao only reacted belatedly. He subconsciously turned his head and saw that everyone was looking directly at him.
"Uh..."
