Wang Qiang only felt that the road was so long, and it was true, nearly a kilometer away, Wang Qiang walked for a full ten minutes before he came to the bottom of the castle.

Wang Qiang followed Ari cautiously into the gate of the castle, and followed Ari to the restaurant, where many people were already sitting at the table waiting.

"Are you Wang Qiang?" said the man who looked to be in his fifties sitting on the throne. The man was very majestic, and just sitting there made Wang Qiang feel a huge pressure.

Ai Rui pressed Wang Qiang to his seat, took over the conversation and said, "That's right, he is Wang Qiang, but this kid seems to be a little shy." ”

Wang Qiang sat on the chair with Xiao Lina in his arms and felt uncomfortable. But then he slowly adjusted his mind, looked up, and found Elena sitting next to him. Elena smiled shyly at him.

"Just this kid, I think it's just average!" During the banquet, a middle-aged woman stood up and looked at Wang Qiang with contempt on her face.

"That's it, even if you're poor, your strength is not good, you're not young at this age, it's really hard to rest assured with such strength!" said a middle-aged man next to him in a loud voice.

"This is the man my niece is going to follow in the future, although we don't care about the family, but we can't let my niece be with a waste!"

The people at the dinner table stood up one after another and denounced Wang Qiang.

"You bad people!Wang Qiang is not a waste!" Little Lina flapped her wings angrily, but no one paid attention to her. Wang Qiang touched her head and comforted her.

The man on the throne didn't speak, so Ari spoke first.

"This is the apprentice of the Great Sage of Ans, are you questioning the vision of the Great Sage of Ans?" said Ari with his eyes closed, at this time Ai Rui was completely different from what Wang Qiang had seen before, his whole body exuded the temperament of a superior person, and that majesty was not even lost to the man sitting on the main seat.

"This... "Some people are speechless, and they dare not slander the great sage of Ans.

"Even the Great Sage of Anse could have lost his eyes! This kid obviously has nothing! It's a waste!" said the middle-aged woman, unrelentingly.

"Wang Qiang is the person I recognize, so are you questioning my vision!?" Ari suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the middle-aged woman, who was so frightened that her whole body was weak and her legs were shaking.

"No, don't dare. I think Wang Qiang's little brother still has great potential. The middle-aged woman squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying.

Ai Rui nodded, looked at Wang Qiang, and said with a smile: "I heard that you brought a gift that has been prepared for a long time, why don't you take it out and take a look?"

"How do you know?" Wang Qiang was a little strange.

The woman over there couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Eri's attention was no longer on herself, she didn't expect this kid named Wang Qiang to be so favored by Eri, and she felt remorse for her recklessness and not seeing the situation clearly.

"I have my own way, you don't have to. Ari said with a smile.

Wang Qiang took out the gift he had prepared and opened the box.

Inside the box was a bottle of potion, a potion made by Wang Qiang himself.

Wang Qiang said: "Although the quality of this potion is very poor, but it was refined by my own hands, I have not studied potions for a long time now, but just by virtue of this craft, I can make Elena live well." ”

Ari picked up the potion and looked at it, then handed it to the man on the throne.

"Father, what do you think?" said Ari with a smile.

After Wang Qiang took out this bottle of potion, although the people at the dinner table still didn't look down on Wang Qiang, they were already much better. With such a young pharmacist, and Ari saying that he is very talented, it is difficult for anyone to say what he will achieve in the future.

The man on the throne picked up the potion and played with it for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he said: "Okay, but I can't just give my daughter to you, you have only proven your potential now, but I want to see your strength, five years, I can only give you five years at most, I hope you can prove yourself to me." In five years' time, I will personally test the results. ”

"Okay! I'll prove myself!" Wang Qiang said firmly. He believes in his own strength, he believes in his talent. Little Lina in her arms looked at him with complicated eyes and didn't speak.

"Okay, don't sit stupidly, eat, eat. The man on the throne greeted.

The crowd moved.

The dishes on the table were delicious, but Wang Qiang had no appetite.

The strange thing is that more than a dozen or twenty people at the dinner table ate together, and they didn't make a sound, and the whole environment was a little weird.

After eating, the man said, "Let's all go, Ari stays." Elena, you go and send off Wang Qiang. ”

......

"Father. Ari said respectfully.

"You will actually support this young man this time, what is his identity?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"I don't have any identity, I just think he has a lot of potential. Ari said lightly.

"Oh, is that all?" the middle-aged man looked incredulous.

"Maybe we'll have to rely on him in the future!" Ari sighed, his eyes a little foggy.

"Hahaha, cough cough!" Eri's words made the middle-aged man laugh, but he coughed violently as he laughed.

"Father, your body?" said Ari frowned.

"It's okay, you would say something like that, it's really not like you!"

"Well, you're going to suffer a lot when you go to the frontier this time. The middle-aged man looked at Ari with soft eyes.

"It's the way to go, isn't it? it's the way I have to go! I won't back down no matter what lies ahead!" said Eri, not knowing whether it was for his father or for himself.

"I won't live long, this family will depend on you in the future!Take care of your brothers and your sister!" The middle-aged man said calmly, as if the person who was going to die was not him.

"I will. Ari closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

......

On the other side, Wang Qiang followed Elena out of the castle, and the two did not speak.

On the way to the gate, Wang Qiang spoke first: "I don't know how to express it, but I will work hard, whether it is for you or for our future." ”

"Well, I believe you!" said Elena, blushing cheeks.

"Let me warn you first, Wang Qiang is mine! You'd better stay away from him!" At this warm moment, Xiao Lina suddenly collapsed.

"She, can she talk?" said Elena in surprise as she pointed at Little Lina, who had been surprised in the restaurant before, but had just forgotten about it.

"Vixen!

"Aren't we good friends? how can you do this to me?"

"I, I... Xiao Lina looked at Elena crying and couldn't say a word for a long time, and then her wings drooped down weakly and sat on Wang Qiang's head.

"Forget it, you grab it!" the jar was already broken in the words.

But the sharp-eyed Wang Qiang saw a smug smile on the corner of Elena's mouth. Only then did he remember that Elena was also a demon king before he met him!
