Chapter 563: Friend or Foe
Arthur Anderson's plane landed at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, and Arthur and Liu Xi walked out of the airport side by side, and there was already a black Bentley team waiting quietly outside.
The drivers were dressed in uniform black clothes, black sunglasses, and snow-white white gloves on their hands, and stood straight next to the car.
Seeing the two coming, someone immediately greeted them and opened the middle Bentley rear seat window for the two.
Liu Xi and Arthur sat in the car one after another, the driver gently closed the door, and then trotted around the car to the cab and started the car.
The two Bentleys in front of them slowly started to open the way, taking the VIP passage reserved by the airport, and the Bentley team quickly left the airport.
In the car, Liu Xi looked at the exotic scenery outside the car window with great interest, especially the plane trees on the streets of Paris, like the golden yellow of the sunset, which was refreshing.
As for the European buildings on both sides of the street, which are full of Western art, Liu Xi doesn't care.
The world of monasticism is far larger than this world of the end of the Dharma I don't know how many times, and the west of the world of monasticism also has countries and places similar to Western Europe, separated from the Middle-earth continent by a huge sea of delusion, which is called the Western continent by the monks.
The laws of the Western Continent and the Middle-earth Continent are different, and they do not cultivate the Dao, but cultivate Dou Qi or magic.
Most importantly, there is the Kingdom of God on the Western Continent.
God is high up and has many servants of God, that is, angels. The strength of the lowest-level two-winged angel is equivalent to that of a Jindan stage monk, the four-winged angel is equivalent to a primordial infant stage monk, and the six-winged angel is comparable to a terrifying existence like a god-transforming stage monk.
There are also seven archangels under the throne, all of whom have the strength of monks in the Conjunctive Period, and their strength is unfathomable.
Once upon a time, Middle-earth and the Western Continent had a violent friction and a long history of war in the Innocent Sea.
The Xiuzhen sect in the Middle-earth Continent invested a large number of monks above the Jindan stage to participate in the war, and there were even two True Monarchs in the Hedao period. And the Western Continent sent numerous angels, commanded by three archangels.
This war lasted for hundreds of years, and countless high-ranking angels and high-ranking monks fell on the battlefield on both sides, and even an archangel fell on the angel front. In the end, the Monk Alliance kept pushing the front forward until the Angel Front of the Western Continent drove the Angel Front out of the Wufu Sea and retreated to the Western Continent.
However, this war could only end here, and after the monks overthrew the Western Continent, they could only retreat with great might.
As for the reason, it is very simple, although they are both cultivation worlds, the world laws of the Middle Earth Continent and the Western Continent are different.
In the Western Continent, the strength of the monks will be oppressed by the law of the Great Dao, and their strength can only exert seventy percent at most. Similarly, the same is true for the angels of the Western Continent, and the ability to be in the Middle-earth Continent will immediately disappear by thirty percent.
What's more, once the monks of Middle-earth landed on the Western Continent, they faced not only angels, but also a large number of paladins and magicians. These people can't stay on the Boundless Sea for a long time, but that doesn't mean that they are necessarily inferior to the angels.
Therefore, the monks did not think about fighting hard away from home, and they did not reap any benefits. After winning this inexplicable war, he went home.
However, since the Sino-Spanish War, the two continents have begun to communicate with each other.
Naturally, the first to cross the ocean were merchants from both continents, then scholars from both sides, and then wandering monks or magicians.
Liu Xi also traveled to the Western Continent, and the time was not short, he stayed for fifteen years, mainly to learn various knowledge of the Western Continent.
In her view, there are many similarities between the world of monasticism and the world of the end of the law, and the west of the world of the end of the law and the west of the world of monasticism have great similarities in terms of race, humanity, environment, and art.
The convoy stopped at a three-star Michelin-starred restaurant, where Arthur Anderson invited Liu Xi to dine with the usual ancient and reserved etiquette of European aristocrats.
French cuisine is the best of Western cuisine, and the dishes that Arthur entertained Liu Xi this time are all well-known French cuisines.
Starting with the first cold dish of foie gras, the waiter serves a total of thirteen traditional French dishes, each with a small portion, but a delicate and delicious taste.
Arthur raised his red wine glass and saluted Liu Xi: "Beautiful Miss Liu Xi, I hope you are satisfied with this meal, you seem to know very well about European culture and customs? If it weren't for your appearance of a Chinese person, I really doubt which country you are a princess." ”
Arthur had been paying attention to Liu Xi since the beginning of the meal, and he found that Liu Xi's dining etiquette was ancient and noble, and it seemed to be a little more noble than him.
You must know that although Arthur seems to have a big personality and even a little informal, he has learned the ancient and orthodox aristocratic etiquette of Europe since he was a child. Every move, word and deed shows a good family education, and his sitting and walking posture makes people see his identity as a noble child at a glance.
However, Liu Xi surprised him.
Although there are many nobles who have better dining etiquette than him, those are basically old nobles, or children of royal families in European countries.
Liu Xi, as a girl who grew up in an ordinary family in Huaxia, became the tenth judge because of the relationship of awakening abilities, and her life has soared since then.
But isn't it that even the aristocratic etiquette of Europe has awakened?
As a Chinese native girl, the dining etiquette is more perfect than that of him, the heir of a native European golden family, how can this be embarrassing?
Liu Xi put down the tableware elegantly, wiped her mouth with the tableware, picked up the wine glass and gestured, and took a sip of mellow red wine.
"I am very satisfied, thank you for your hospitality. Liu Xi asked with a smile: "I haven't been to Europe, so most of the cultural customs in Europe come from reading books." ”
"Miss Liu is really a good heart. ”
Arthur looked a little surprised, but he didn't say anything.
"It's over. Liu Xi put down the wine glass, looked at him and said, "However, is it really necessary for us to be so polite? I remember when I was in the South China Sea, I still asked people to rescue you, and you didn't seem to be so polite at that time." ”
Arthur smiled, spread his hands, and said kindly, "Well, I also think it's very restrictive. Let's put it this way, now that I'm coming to you on behalf of the Anderson Senators in the Senate, and not myself, I must make sure to reflect the glory and propriety of the Anderson family at all times. ”
Liu Xi keenly captured the key words in his words: "Contact?"
If it is contacted, it means that Arthur went to Huaxia Baishi University this time, not just to perform the task of the senators. Instead, as a representative of the Anderson family, he came to seek cooperation with Liu Xi.
Liu Xi didn't think she had anything worthy of the ancient Italian golden family to approach and woo, and if she did, it would only be her status as the tenth adjudicator.
"It's an engagement, and it's a gesture of friendliness. ”
Arthur didn't seem to want to work hard to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor, leaned back in his chair, and said comfortably.
Liu Xi raised her eyebrows and asked bluntly, "Reason?"
Arthur smiled, "I think you've guessed the reason. If you can't guess, it just means that you don't want the friendship of the Anderson family. ”
Liu Xi's face sank, and his voice lowered a little: "The meaning of this sentence, can I understand it as a threat?"
Arthur spread his hands and said indifferently: "How you want to understand, it's up to you, not me." ”
In other words, the attitude of the Arthur Anderson family is like this, whether it is friend or foe depends entirely on Liu Xi.
The ancient family that has stretched for thousands of years in Europe has the pride and confidence of the Lion King family, and is not afraid of any enemy, not even gods.
At the same time, there have always been only two words in the Lion King family dictionary: friend or foe.
If you can't be my friend, then automatically become my enemy.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly cooled down, and the guests and hosts were happy before, but now there was an invisible cold atmosphere fermenting.
After a while, Arthur Anderson shrugged his shoulders and suddenly smiled and said, "Of course, the will of the family does not represent me, and I can never be hostile to you. ”
As he spoke, his water-like eyes were like a pool of spring water, and there was a little flash on the water, looking at Liu Xi with affection.
Liu Xi also smiled, she was still very useful to Arthur Anderson for blatantly playing a beautiful man's trick on her.
Whether from the aesthetic perspective of the East or the West, Arthur belongs to the absolute beauty of the man. The appearance is almost perfect, and the temperament is both elegant and noble, but also a little bold and reckless, which makes it easy for people to have a good impression of him.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is probably no sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in this world who can withstand Arthur's eyes, that kind of focused eyes, as if he can only see you in his eyes, which is particularly moving.
Coupled with Arthur Anderson's illustrious family background, his good gentlemanly manners, his complex and changeable temperament, and his handsome and unparalleled appearance.
As long as he deliberately uses a beautiful man's trick on a certain woman, let alone an ordinary girl, even the Queen of England can't bear it.
But is Liu Xi an ordinary girl? Is she a normal sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl? Is she a woman who can be seduced by just a beautiful woman?
The answer, of course, is no.
Fairy Liu Xi has lived for hundreds of years, he has eaten more salt than Arthur, he has walked on bridges longer than he has walked, and he has seen more beauties than he has seen, how can he be seduced by his blue and autumn eyes?
Fairy Liu Xi said that this is simply a joke.
She said helplessly: "Even if you want me to express my stance and stand in line, you have to tell me what kind of stance I want to express and which team to stand on, right?"
Seeing that Liu Xi was indifferent to his seduction, a trace of surprise flashed in Arthur's eyes.
Although Arthur never thought that he was great because he was good-looking, after all, being good-looking was also part of his strength. If the outstanding is excessive, it can be called a strong strength.
Arthur is extremely confident in his charm, no matter what kind of woman he is, as long as he has the heart, he can get his hands on it, but sooner or later.
However, Arthur can be sure that in the face of his eyes, Liu Xi's eyes are always as clear as water, and his eyes seem to be interested, and there is no trace of trance at all.
This shows that Liu Xi doesn't even have the slightest feeling for him, as if in front of her, just sitting on a piece of wood.
This undoubtedly discouraged the arrogant Arthur, even if he didn't have any affection or affection for him, at least give him a reaction, even if it was disgust?
Speaking of which, Liu Xi has discouraged Arthur for the second time.
Arthur touched his cheek, and the image of Liu Xi slapping him into the sea flashed in his mind when he was in the South China Sea.
"The chairman is missing. Arthur spoke suddenly.
Liu Xi was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "You have already said it." ”
Arthur laughed, "So a new chairman is needed." ”
Liu Xi suddenly realized and said tentatively: "So, your father wants to run for the chairman?"
"You can understand it this way, the chairman is originally elected, and it just so happens that my serious and old-fashioned father is very interested in the chairmanship. ”
"Don't you want to tell me that this time you are so complicated and make such a big move, that is, let us go and help run for the chairman?"
Liu Xi looked at Arthur with a strange expression, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.
"Of course not. ”
Arthur Anderson subconsciously looked around. This restaurant has long been contracted by him, and there are no customers other than them. Even the attendants stood far away watching them, only coming when Arthur beckoned.
"There is another tradition of the Alien Freedom Alliance, which has been followed to this day. ”
"What tradition?" asked Liu Xi.
"If the president dies in office, and the new president wants to take office, he must first avenge the previous chairman. ”
As a world-famous tourist destination and the most beautiful town in France, the town of Gordes is also known as the Stone Town.
The small town of Gold is built on the top of the hill, nesting in the middle of the mountain, and below it is a flat field.
There are many white-washed stone buildings and dark and light greenery interspersed between the old and new buildings, like a Western oil painting with white and green, and the beauty makes people feel as if they are in the painting.
Not only that, but the small town of Gordes is located in Provence and is home to some of the most beautiful lavender flowers in the world. Overlooking the plain from the town in the middle of the mountain, the gorgeous sea of purple flowers swayed gently in the wind, like a gentle ripple, giving people a beautiful feeling of quiet years and peaceful personnel.
