Alice felt her heart tremble all of a sudden, a fiery emotion filled her heart, it was gratitude, it was endless apology.
"Brother Linley, thank you, thank you." Alice couldn't help but said, tears were rolling in her eyes at this moment. These are tears of excitement.
Linley smiled slightly: "Go back, I will go to the palace this afternoon to see your majesty."
Linley could feel that now he is at peace with Alice, and treats Alice as if he were a female friend who had some friendship. that's it!
"Well, thank you." Alice looked at Linley before turning around and left, feeling very complicated.
Originally, Alice was afraid, because Linley had hurt Linley in the past, causing Linley to hate Kalan, so Linley would not save Kalan, but Linley's reaction was beyond her expectations.
Linley was not agitated at all, very calm.
…
Looking at Alice's back, Linley sat down, picked up a piece of fruit and ate it at will. At this time, Bei Bei appeared from the side.
"Boss, you still help that Alice, if I were, I would have slammed her out a long time ago, and it would have been nice if I didn't slap her to death." Bei Bei said dissatisfiedly.
Linley glanced at Beibei: "Beibei, humans are not monsters."
At this time, Dering Cowart flew out of the Coiling Dragon Ring, and looked at Lin Lei with a relieved look: "Lin Lei, you did a good job. I'm still a little worried, will you drive her away childishly? Going downhill."
"childish?" lei was startled.
In Dering Cowart's view, that behavior was indeed childish.
"Right, woman, when can I not find it?" Dering Cowart laughed.
Linley was speechless for a while. He strongly disagreed with Grandpa Delin's point of view. Dering Cowart's views are more similar to those of his good brothers Yale and Reynolds.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, I have to continue to practice." Linley immediately got up and walked towards the spring water garden.
For Linley, Alice's coming to beg him was just an episode in his life. It didn't affect his mood at all. Right now, the most important thing in Linley's heart was... revenge for his parents.
…
Inside the palace.
"Lord Linley, Your Majesty is working hard for state affairs in the study room. He also asked Lord Linley to accompany the villain to the study room." The court attendant said respectfully.
lei nodded.
With Beibei on Linley's shoulders, he followed behind the court attendant and walked towards the study. After walking for a while, Linley finally came to the study.
"Your Majesty, Lord Linley is here!" the court attendant shouted from outside the door.
Clyde, who was reviewing the article, couldn't help but look up, and the pair of tiger eyes saw Linley, and couldn't help but stare. He laughed excitedly and said, "Lin Lei, come in quickly, the two of us don't need to be too polite."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Linley walked into the study with a light smile.
Clyde, in Linley's opinion, is indeed a very forthright person, especially for himself, he is extremely polite, and he has never used his status as a king to oppress Linley.
"If it wasn't about my parents, maybe I would have become friends with you. Unfortunately, one day, I have to kill him. What I lack now is the opportunity." Linley had no hesitation in his heart to kill Clyde.
If you have a chance, you can definitely kill him with a sword.
…
Clyde and Linley touched the glasses, took a sip, and then asked, "Linley, you rarely come to the palace on your own initiative. What did you, the number one magician in the palace, have to do with me today?"
lei smiled.
The number one magician in the palace has many responsibilities, but Linley has never been burdened with it. Many things are still left to other court magicians. And Clyde never forced it. Linley was in the Kingdom of Fenlai, and he was just a name. It means... He Linley is a member of Clyde's side.
"Today, there is indeed one thing." Linley smiled and looked at Clyde, "The Debs family is suspected of smuggling, didn't your Majesty send someone to arrest Bernard and his son Kalan?"
"That's what happened." Clyde raised his eyebrows and looked at Linley, "Why, you also have to intercede for their family?"
These days, many nobles have interceded for the Debs family. The reason why so many nobles have helped is the money of the Debs family.
"If you really want to save their family, I can give you this face." Clyde said boldly.
What Clyde really wants to do is to destroy the forces established by his younger brother Paderson. As for the Debs family, it's just a matter of course. He completely spared the Debs family and earned Linley a favor. After all, even if he released the Debs family, he could still slaughter the Debs family.
"No." Linley shook his head, "I didn't intercede for their family."
"What?" Clyde looked at Linley suspiciously.
Linley said casually, "Your Majesty Clyde, whether or not the Debs family is smuggling, it's natural for all of this to be official."
"Oh?" Clyde looked at Linley suspiciously, "Then Linley came here today, is it..."
Linley said with a smile, "I'm just wondering if the Debs family is involved in smuggling. Your Majesty, you just need to arrest the patriarch Bernard. As for his son, you don't need to arrest him. After all, what's the use of arresting an heir? You arrest him. The first heir, they also have a second heir, as long as their family is continuous, someone can naturally take their place."
"Linley, what do you mean?" Clyde looked at Linley.
Linley looked at Clyde: "Your Majesty, please let Kalan go."
"Oh, let Kalan go, I heard that Kalan is with you?" Clyde checked Linley very carefully, and naturally knew the relationship between Linley, Kalan, and Alice.
Linley smiled helplessly, "Your Majesty, that was a long time ago."
But Clyde reminded: "Linley, I remind you, according to my team's investigation, Nakalan is very narrow-minded, but she will hate people."
"I know." Linley nodded slightly.
After several contacts with Kalan, Linley felt Kalan's hostility towards him. And... According to Linley's knowledge, his 'Dream Awakening' stone sculpture was once destroyed in an attempt to destroy it during the seven days of the exhibition.
Destroying the stone carvings is detrimental to others.
Except for Kalan, Linley couldn't think of anyone who would send someone to destroy the 'Dream Awakening' stone sculpture.
"Then you still help him?" Clyde continued.
"Your Majesty Clyde, you said, he is such a short-sighted little guy, I also need to care about him?" Linley smiled and looked at Clyde, Clyde couldn't help but startled, then laughed.
"Yes, Kalan used to be an old acquaintance with you, but now he doesn't want to make friends, but is hostile to you. On the contrary, his father wants to make friends with you again and again. Compared with his father, Kalan is indeed much more short-sighted." Clyde also laughed and said.
Clyde patted Linley on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will ask Merritt to be official and to find out the facts. I will never wrong the Debs family, but if the Debs family is really suspected of smuggling, I will Nor will it go unpunished."
"yes, it's official business." lei nodded.
…
Sitting on the carriage back home, Beibei was lying on Linley's lap.
"Wow, boss, you are too insidious. That Debs family is definitely smuggling. When the time comes, their family is finished. Even if Kalan is gone now, it will be miserable in the future?" Beibei said excitedly.
Beibei wanted to kill Kalan for a long time.
Linley shook his head and smiled: "It's hard to say whether the Debs family is really dead. For example, they can give most of the family's money directly to Clyde. Clyde may let them live, but in any case, they will die. In the hands of Clyde, the skin will peel off without dying."
Linley was very clear about the darkness within the aristocratic circle, saying it was 'official business', it was just a torii.
"Compared to Clyde, the Debs family is far worse." Linley shook his head and said to himself.
A little card blue, lei never saw it. Nakalan is not at the same level as Linley. What Linley has to deal with is Clyde!
"Sir, it's here." The groom who drove the car respectfully said.
Linley opened the car door and walked down. Beibei jumped onto Linley's shoulder. Just as Linley was about to enter the mansion, a guard at the door beside him respectfully said, "Sir, a guest came just now, and he is waiting for you in the living room."
"guest, in the living room?" lei became puzzled.
There were often nobles who asked to see Linley, but those nobles had to wait outside the gate without Linley's consent. Only people with high status, such as Duke Bernard, His Majesty Clyde, and Lord Gilmer, would enter the living room directly. You don't have to wait outside the door.
"who is he?" lei couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, but he is holding the token of the red-clothed archbishop." The guard respectfully said, this guard is also from the Holy See of Light, and is very familiar with the token of the red-clothed archbishop.
There is only one cardinal card for each cardinal. Of course, there may also be some extremely powerful ascetics. This token represents a kind of status, representing the person holding the token, whose status is no lower than that of the cardinal.
"Token?" Linley was startled.
Without hesitation, Lin Lei immediately walked towards the living room. When Lin Lei crossed the corridor and saw the figure in the living room, he couldn't help being surprised.
In the living room at the moment, it was a middle-aged man in a loose robe with long black hair, who seemed to be in his thirties or forties, giving him a feeling of laziness.
When Lin Lei looked at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man seemed to be aware of it. He immediately looked over with surprise in his eyes: "Master Linley, are you here?"
"Master Linley?" Linley was puzzled, but quickly entered the living room.
"You are, oh, I remembered, you are the one who once quoted ten million gold coins." Linley remembered that this middle-aged man made the bid when he auctioned off the 'Dream Awakening' stone sculpture.
The middle-aged man nodded happily, "I didn't expect that Master Linley still remembers me. I'm really excited. By the way, let me introduce myself first. My name is... Xisai!"
"xisai?" lei had never heard of this name at all.
"Xise?!" Delinkovalt's voice suddenly sounded in Linley's mind, "I didn't expect this little pervert, Xisai, to still be in the material plane of the Magnolia Continent."
Linley was startled.
Grandpa Delin knows this Xisai? What era was Grandpa Delin from? If he knew, how old was this Xisai
"Lin Lei, this Xisai is a very perverted guy. He cultivates very fast, and kills people without blinking an eye. When I was alive, Xisai had already stepped into the sanctuary. Although it was only the first time to enter the sanctuary, it is now more than 5,000. Years have passed, and with his cultivation speed, his strength is probably even more amazing."
Linley's heart twitched violently.
The middle-aged man in front of him, who seemed to be in his 30s or 40s, was already a strong man in the sanctuary when Drincowart was alive. Dering Cowart only lived for more than a thousand years before he died, but this Xisai, if you count it carefully, at least has about six thousand years.
Six thousand year old pervert!
"Master Linley, what's the matter with you?" Xisai asked in concern, "Your face doesn't seem very good."
"It's nothing, Mr. Xisai, please take a seat." Linley tried his best to keep himself calm, but when he thought of the other party's identity, Linley couldn't help but be shocked.
A 6,000-year-old old fellow, a strong man who has survived to this day in the Puang Empire era. I stepped into the sanctuary back then, what about now
"Master Linley, I admire your stone carving skills very much. If that little girl from Delia hadn't asked me, I would have bought your stone carving that day." The Xisai pouted, and his eyes lit up. Xiang Linley said, "Master Linley, when will you marry that Delia?"
"marry?"
Even if he was shocked by Xisai's identity, Linley couldn't help but stare at Xisai with wide eyes when he heard this.
