The street lamps began to shine brightly, away from the hustle and bustle, walking alone in the deserted and quiet deep alley, at the end of the alley there was a small grocery store still not closed, and the dim light seemed to be the guidance of a prophet to bring Xia Lan here.

Adelina sat on a chair in the grocery store, holding a book in her hands, reading intently, when the sudden sound of a knock on the wooden door immediately diverted her attention to the door.

"Why hasn't the door closed so late today?" Xia Lan leaned against the door of the grocery store and smiled at Adelin.

"Because I had a hunch that you would be here today, that's why I didn't close the door for a long time." Adelina said with a shy face.

"Have you had dinner?" Xia Lan sighed lightly.

"Not yet." Adelina said embarrassedly as she clutched her hungry belly.

"It just so happens that I don't either." Xia Lan smiled and said, "So, I am fortunate enough to invite you to dinner with the little princess?" ”

"You're here again, and you've said I'm not a little princess." Adelina blushed and turned to run to the grocery store, "You wait a minute, I'm going to change my clothes when I get out." ”

Xia Lan didn't wait too long, Adelina came out wearing the clothes she had worn the last time she went out with Xia Lan, turned off the lights, closed the door of the grocery store, and Xia Lan took Adelinea's small white hand and walked out of the alley together.

Xia Lan has no special attention and requirements for food, but if conditions permit, he has always been used to enjoying the best food in the best restaurants, and Adrina also whispered to dissuade Xia Lan from being so extravagant and wasteful, as cute as a little housekeeper. However, Xia Lan just smiled casually and ignored it. Sometimes women say no. Actually, it's a different story.

At least tonight's dinner made Adrina enjoy it with special relish, and it cannot be said that women are materialistic, but that women are looking forward to beautiful things.

After dinner, Charan led Adrina to a high-end women's clothing store.

"Mr. Xia Lan, why did you bring me here all of a sudden?"

Adrina gently tugged at Xia Lan's sleeve and whispered to Xia Lan with a cautious expression.

"Because I want to make my little princess more beautiful." Xia Lan glanced at the clothes worn by Adelina intentionally or unintentionally and chuckled, it is a woman's nature to love beauty, a woman will always show her most beautiful place in front of outsiders. If a woman comes and goes with the same clothes when she is dating a man, this undoubtedly shows several points: first, the woman thinks about the clothes she wears to remind the man that maybe it is time to buy her new clothes, second, the woman's family is poor, she has no extra ability to buy new clothes, and can only wear her best clothes to meet the man every time, and third, the woman does not care about the man's impression of him.

And Adelina clearly falls into the second category.

Adelina is not stupid. In a moment, she knew from Guò Charan's gentle and concerned eyes that the other party was aware of the problem with her dress, and she blushed. The little head drooped as if he was too shy to look at Xia Lan again, and at the same time did not refuse Xia Lan's kindness, let Xia Lan lead her to buy a lot in the clothing store, and then the two of them visited the night view of Port Louis before returning to the grocery store.

It was late at night, and Xia Lan came to her house again at Aderina's invitation, enjoying the hot tea that Aderina had carefully brewed, and his eyes would always unconsciously glance at the oil paintings on the wall, perhaps the characters on the paintings were too vivid, which made him always feel like the people in the paintings were looking at him.

"Mr. Xia Lan, are you free for today next week?" Soon after serving the tea set, Adelina suddenly asked after noticing Xia Lan's eyes glancing at the oil painting from time to time.

"What's wrong?" Xia Lan retracted her gaze and smiled at Adrian.

"Because next week is the day of my adoptive parents' death, and I want you to accompany me to the Cathedral of the Holy Grace to pray." Adrina Silver Fang bit her lip lightly.

The Cathedral of the Holy Radiance? Just what the doctor ordered!

Xia Lan thought to herself, and nodded in agreement at the moment.

In the end, instead of staying at Adelinea's house, Charan returned to the hotel.

……

When she returned to the hotel, she didn't see Hermia and Catherland, and since Ser Holebas met with them, Hermia's attitude towards Charan had become unusually cold, and as long as Charan didn't speak, Hermia would automatically ignore them as if they were air.

Early the next morning, Hermia unexpectedly took the initiative to greet Xia Lan, of course, for a reason.

"Mr. Xia Lan, when will you take your mother to heal her condition?"

Hermia's attitude was still cold, but she was still polite and respectful in her inquiring tone.

"Within three days." Xia Lan gave the answer.

"Thank you."

After saying that, Hermia turned around and left without looking at Xia Lan.

Xia Lan didn't care about Hermia's attitude, young people are always impulsive and reckless when they encounter trouble, regardless of the consequences, and Hermia is the illegitimate daughter of Holebas, as long as the other party does not touch his bottom line, he will not pay attention to the other party.

Before leaving the house, Charan approached Katheran and ordered him to continue the task of surveillance and investigation, even if Katheran was reluctant, as long as Hermia was still in Port Louis, he would live forever under Charlan's wanton assignment.

Port Louis was as calm as ever, but it was rumored that the abandoned warehouse in the White Sail District was likely to collapse, and it is said that Sir McFadden, who disappeared back then, was careless in handling the foundation during the construction of the warehouse, which affected the underground soil layer, and if the warehouse collapsed, it would inevitably cause the underground drainage pipe to be blocked, and the consequences would affect the daily life of the entire Port Louis people.

When the Hong Kong Governor's Office sent an engineering team to settle in, the news that the soldiers blocked the area around the abandoned warehouse further verified the rumors, and many people began to talk about it when they were chatting.

Xia Lan sat in the lobby and listened to the conversation around him, the topic was basically around the problem of the abandoned warehouse, but he didn't expect that Holebas's actions were more neat and neat than he imagined, and it didn't take more than a few days to let the streets and alleys of Port Louis know about this matter, especially the dangerous hài secretly publicized caused a situation where everyone was in danger.

People will pay special attention to any issue related to their own security interests, and after this incident, it is presumable that the "subversion fangs" will alarm the investigation, but after all, they will not get anything!

At this time, a little girl suddenly ran in from outside the door, and without saying a word, she came to an attendant and opened her mouth and asked, "Do you know where Your Excellency Xia Lan is?" ”

Well? Hearing someone say his surname, Xia Lan immediately followed the prestige, and as a result, he saw a familiar person.

"Loris, here."

The little girl who heard his call suddenly looked around, and after a while, she saw Xia Lan in the corner of the lobby, leaving behind the attendant with a blank face, and the little girl quickly came to him and said: "Mr. Xia Lan, I heard this morning that the masters who went to Minas to participate in academic exchanges have returned, so... So...... I would like to inform you about ......"

Seeing the little girl's breathless appearance, Xia Lan pushed the unused cup full of tea in front of her and signaled to drink it, this little girl is the hostess who has received Xia Lan several times, I didn't expect her to be so attentive to what she told her, presumably because she didn't want to miss the benefits of his gold master.

"Is the message accurate?"

Watching Loriss drink the tea and calm down, Xia Lan said slowly.

"Of course, because there is a guy who pursues me who is an apprentice of a certain master, and I heard him happily tell me about it today, so I came to you immediately."

"It's your reward." Xia Lan threw a bag of gold coins on the table, then stood up and walked directly towards the attendant, and after asking him to arrange the carriage, Xia Lan went directly to the guest room of Hermia's mother and daughter to inform.

As soon as she heard that the master pharmacist had returned and her mother was about to be healed, Hermia, who had been cold-faced, was very grateful to Xia Lan, and took the carriage that the attendant led out of the street, and Xia Lan did not forget to take Loris's return when she left, after all, the little girl was tired enough to come and report the news, and it was just a gesture for him to take the other party for a ride.

The carriage traveled for more than half an hour before it arrived at the door of the Alchemy Society, and when Loris's got out of the car, Xia Lan asked the other party to prepare for their work of meeting the master pharmacist.

As Hermia waited for Lady Adeline to get out of the car, a magnificent carriage slowly stopped in the opposite street, the door opened, and a little girl in a large white cloak walked down with light steps.

Xia Lan subconsciously looked at the opposite street, his expression was slightly stunned, he didn't expect him to meet an "acquaintance" here.

Winnie suddenly stopped walking towards the gate of the Alchemy Society, and the whole person was also stunned.

"Your Excellency Xia Lan, hurry up and lead us in to treat our mother's illness."

At this time, Hermia's urging voice came from her ears, Xia Lan came back to her senses, didn't look at Winnie again, turned around and led Hermia's mother and daughter straight to the Alchemy Society.

"My dear! Be careful! ”、

At this moment, Winnie was gently dragged behind her, and in a short time, a carriage slowly drove towards the middle of the street where she stood.

Seeing this, Winnie suddenly came to her senses.

"Honey, you don't know that your behavior like this is very dangerous?! What should I do if something happens to you? ”

Feeling the thick and warm chest of someone behind her, Winnie took a deep breath, shook her little head and said softly, "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now." ”

"Can you tell me what is it that makes you so distracted?" The person behind him said with concern.

"Today is the assessment day, so what should I do if I suddenly think of the assessment just now?" Winnie said with her head hanging down.

"Don't worry, because I know you're the best! Even if you don't pass this assessment, there will be a next time, so don't keep this kind of thing in mind all the time. The person behind him comforted and encouraged.

"No! I will definitely pass the guò in this assessment! Because I'm a genius to become the youngest potion master! ”

Winnie suddenly looked up with pride.

She hasn't changed about that. (To be continued......)
