"Wait, don't do it!" Just when Diao Si was about to explode, a voice suddenly rang out, and he stopped his evil spirit.
When Diao Si turned his head slightly, he realized that the person speaking was actually the young man who had met him before. He is actually here. It seems that he may still be the boss of these people.
"I'm here to see Baron Zuorui. Can you take me to see him?" Diao Si said to the man calmly. After hearing this, the man stopped staring at Xiaoyan. This actually made Diao Si unhappy. .
After hearing this, the man looked Diao Si up and down again, and then asked: "Are you really looking for Baron Zuorui? Why are you looking for him? Do you know him?"
From the reflection on the man's expression, Diao Si felt that something was a little abnormal, and since he appeared in this place dressed so luxuriously, this guy was probably Baron Zuorui himself.
"I heard that you are the highest-ranking human being here, right? I came to find you, but now my partner and I are hungry. How about you let us in for a meal first?"
Diao Si said this, and the guy was secretly surprised. Diao Si had already determined that he was Zuo Rui, and he made such an excessive request. Zuo Rui didn't know how to accept it.
Diao Si was also thinking about how to be polite and fill Xiaoyan and the others' bellies first, but after he said these words, it became uncontrollable and he had not yet adjusted.
When Zuo Rui was hesitating, he looked at Xiao Yan who was still flying in the air, and then he quickly agreed. While looking at Xiao Yan, he said to Diao Si: "Okay, let's just treat it as friendship." A friend, please come in."
Of course Diao Si could see that the reason Zuo Rui agreed to his unreasonable request was entirely because of Xiaoyan. He just wanted to keep Xiaoyan here for a while so that she could see his mansion.
"Ma'am, please come in." Zuo Rui politely extended his hand to Xiaoyan, but Xiaoyan dodged it rudely. She was still quite wary of strangers.
However, after meeting the man Zuo Rui, Diao Si felt that it was rare to regain some yang energy here. At least men had the final say here. None of the men in the Empire of Light were like Zuo Rui. I hope this is not an isolated case.
However, after entering Zuo Rui's big house, Diao Si suddenly had a special feeling. This big house seemed a bit unusual, but he couldn't tell it. He could only see its unique style and long history.
There are many strange statues in the front hall of the house, which seem to be a special Feng Shui pattern. In such an environment, it makes people feel depressed and dull. However, when you enter the front yard, everything suddenly becomes spacious, making people feel cheerful and relaxed.
"Butler, prepare some food in the hall right away. I have... friends here." Zuo Rui said and suddenly stopped, turned around and asked Xiaoyan: "Madam, do you want something to eat? As long as you can bring it up, I will find a way to get it for you.”
Despite Zuo Rui's polite greeting, Xiao Yan still had the same cold attitude. She didn't even answer his words and just followed Diao Si closely.
However, just as they sat down in the hall, before Zuo Rui could say a word to Diao Si, someone suddenly shouted loudly and ran over: "Master, those barbarians are causing trouble again, you have to go and deal with it immediately!"
After hearing the man's urgent words, Zuo Rui hesitated and looked at Xiao Yan before packing up and leaving. When leaving, he whispered a few casual reminders to the housekeeper.
It was better if Zuo Rui left, and Xiaoyan and the others began to eat with confidence. They were all very hungry. However, Diao Si seems to be a little resistant to those foods. He seems to be very reluctant to let these things fill his stomach. I don't know if this is anorexia.
It wasn't until he felt uncomfortable while watching Xiaoyan and the others eating that he got up and walked around in the house. That was fine. He had always wanted to know more about this weird old house, but the housekeeper was always with him. Dei followed behind, as if he was afraid that he was going to cause damage.
Needless to say, this must be what Zuo Rui reminded her before, but Diao Si doesn't mind it at all. This housekeeper is already old and has probably worked for Zuo Rui for a long time. He should know a lot about Zuo Rui and Lu Yin. He just wanted to inquire about the things in the city.
"Butler, you must have been working in the Baron's family for many years, right? The Baron is your master? Where are his mother and his sisters?" Because he has lived here for a long time, Diao Si already knows that if there is a family within a family, If there is a woman, usually the woman is the master.
"No, the Baron's mother is no longer here. The Baron... He has no sisters. This is a problem with the Baron's family. There has been no daughter for many generations... "
When the housekeeper said this, he seemed a little scared, probably because it involved the secrets of the Zuo Rui family. But Diao Si suddenly thought about the Flower King's concubine in the Flower Demon Kingdom. Didn't he mention Zuo Lu? Why does the housekeeper say that he has not given birth to a daughter for many generations? What on earth is going on with Zuo Lu
"Don't try to lie to me!" Diao Si looked a little angry when he thought of this. He knew he was about to lose control but immediately controlled himself, and then continued: "The Baron family has not given birth to a daughter for many generations? So what is Zuo Lu? What’s going on?”
"Mrs. Zuo Lu?" The housekeeper was even more frightened when he heard the name. He looked at Diao Si uneasily and kept avoiding his eyes. After a while, he continued: "Mrs. Zuo Lu is not actually from the Baron family. Member, she is just one of the women of the Baron's grandfather. In order to inherit the bloodline of the Baron family, she changed her surname to Zuo. "
This is understandable to Diao Si, because people in this world usually take their mother's surname. Changing Zuo Lu's surname to Zuo is equivalent to a man on earth marrying into his daughter's family. This is the so-called inheritance of blood, which is stupid.
"How is it possible that there have been no daughters for many generations? In such a big family, does it mean that every generation only has one boy?" Diao Si couldn't believe it. This was a bit unreasonable.
But the housekeeper didn't answer Diao Si's question. She just stood there uneasily thinking about something. It was obvious that she knew she had said too much and could not continue.
"Friend of the Baron, please rest here for a while. If there is nothing else, I will go do other things first." The butler suddenly changed the subject and said this.
Diao Si also understood what he was thinking, but if he asked anything forcefully now, he might just scare the housekeeper away, so he had better find another way to calm down first.
However, the evil spirit in his heart kept circling around, and Diao Si didn't know what the consequences would be if he couldn't control it. Now that Zuo Rui was so generous and allowed him to come in and entertain him, it would be really bad if he did anything else. Too much.
"Wait..." Just as the housekeeper walked quickly to the door, Diao Si stopped her again. She was even more anxious, but she could only continue to walk back and ask Diao Si if he had any questions.
Diao Si was looking at the oil painting on the wall on one side. He seemed to have seen the woman in the painting before, but couldn't remember it for the time being, so he stopped the housekeeper like this.
"Who is the woman on the wall? Why do I seem to have seen her before?" Diao thought for a while before asking the housekeeper. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the housekeeper covered his mouth and looked like he was about to laugh.
"You want to laugh? Is this funny?" Diao Si asked, and she suddenly became mute and didn't dare to laugh anymore.
"The woman on the wall is the ancestor of the Baron family, and she is also the founder of Green Hidden City..." Diao Si realized after the housekeeper said this, that she was laughing at herself for meeting this person who had been dead for hundreds of years.
This is strange. Diao Si has obviously seen this person before, so how could he have been dead for hundreds of years? He tried hard to remember, and finally got some clues, but then he also became afraid.
"Is this person a dark mage?" Diao Si had already remembered that the woman on the wall was the mummy in the sarcophagus of the tomb. Before she turned into ashes, she looked like the one in the oil painting!
In this way, the problem is not as complicated as usual. The body of the dark mage in the tomb is still the ancestor of Zuo Rui. So why would Zuo Lu send people to dig his ancestral grave? Zuo Rui's family was so mysterious, and Diao Si wanted to find out all about it. (To be continued)
