"Master Ye, why do you have time to come to my Oran City? By the way, what about Miss Takeqing? Isn't she with you? Lacey asked curiously.

Ye Lan smiled gently: "When I went out to do errands, I happened to pass by, so I wanted to come and see." As for Zhuqing, she has been in retreat recently, so she didn't come out with me this time. ”

Lacey suddenly said: "I see. ”

After speaking, Reis looked at Ye Lan with a tangled face:

"Master Ye, can I ask you for something?"

Now it was Ye Lan's turn to be curious.

"What is it that makes you General Lei so entangled, tell me about it?"

"Ahem... You.. Can you go to the Grand Duke's Mansion to see the Grand Duke? ”

Ye Lan was stunned, what kind of request is this, what are you struggling with?

"I was going to see Sophia, and I won't need to mention this General Lei. It's just, why are you spitting? ”

Lacey scratched his head and looked embarrassed: "You are now the sect master of the upper four sects, and your status is not much worse than that of the emperor, and we are only a small principality, so ....."

Although Lacey didn't finish speaking, Ye Lan also understood the concerns in his heart.

Now that the identities of the two sides are very different, Reis is naturally embarrassed to make such a request.

How noble is the status of the sect masters of the upper four sects, how can a small grand duke meet each other?

This is what Lacey has in mind.

Ye Lanwan smiled: "Sophia and I are friends, so naturally we will not be estranged because of the difference in identity, otherwise I would not have helped her so much at the beginning, please rest assured." ”

"So thank you to Master Ye." Lacey breathed a sigh of relief.

The two chatted for a while, and Reis gave Ye Lan a rough idea of Sophia's experience in recent years, and urged Ye Lan to hurry to the Grand Duke's Mansion.

Ye Lan couldn't resist him, and he hadn't seen Sophia for several years, and he was quite curious about her current appearance, so he didn't refuse, and went directly to the Grand Duke's Mansion.

Looking at Ye Lan's departing back, Reis sighed heavily: "Little Fia, little Fia, there's only so much I can help you, and the rest is up to you." ”

......

With Lacey's people leading the way, Ye Lan entered the Grand Duke's Mansion unimpeded all the way.

Seeing the person she missed day and night again, Sophia was excited.

"Ye Lan! Is it really you?! I'm not dreaming, am I?! ”

Sophia's eyes widened in disbelief.

Ye Lan looked at Sophia carefully, she hadn't seen her for several years, Sophia was more mature, and her every move had a different style. And her temperament has also changed a lot, the momentum of the superior is already very strong, and I think it is the long-term power that has made her more mature.

"Sophia, I'm back to see you!" Ye Lan said mildly.

Hearing Ye Lan's voice, Sophia's inner feelings could no longer be suppressed.

The feelings that have been suppressed for many years are now bursting out, like a torrent erupting out of control.

Sophia Lian moved lightly, threw herself into Ye Lan's arms, and hugged her tightly.

"Woo woo, Ye Lan, I miss you so much, I thought I would never see you again in this life."

Looking at the girl in his arms who was seventy percent similar to Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lan also sighed.

I didn't expect to do it at the beginning, but I unknowingly owed an emotional debt.

Lying in Ye Lan's arms and crying for a while, Sophia raised her head with an embarrassed face:

"I'm sorry, Ye Lan, I was rude."

"It's okay, it's human nature to meet again after a long absence." Ye Lan smiled and comforted.

Sophia looked around, with a puzzled expression: "Ye Lan, why don't you see Sister Zhuqing?" Didn't she come with you? ”

"Zhuqing is in retreat and cultivating, so I'll be alone this time." Ye Lan said.

Sophia let out an "oh" and then stopped talking, not knowing what she was thinking.

I don't know if it's intentional or undoubted, Sophia has been lying in Ye Lan's arms, without the slightest intention of getting up, which makes Ye Lan very helpless.

Everyone is an adult, and he is not a person who sits still in his arms, and the figure and appearance of the person in his arms are similar to Zhu Zhuqing, he is really a little difficult to overcome.

"Ahem, would you mind telling me a little bit about how you've been doing in the last few years?" Ye Lan casually found a topic and said, by the way, he also let go of Sophia and took a small step back quietly.

But it's not without reason.

Although Reis said something about Sophia, how can Sophia's self-description be clear.

Noticing Ye Lan's slightly embarrassed small movements, Sophia not only did not be disappointed, but instead showed a smile that the conspiracy had succeeded, but it quickly disappeared.

With Ye Lan's strength, he naturally captured Sophia's expression.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, this Nizi really did it on purpose.

But he didn't break it, that would undoubtedly break Sophia's heart, and his emotional intelligence was not so low.

Sophia's eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and she said happily: "Okay, since you want to know, then the Grand Duke will tell you about it." ”

With Sophia's narration, Ye Lan also has a clearer understanding of her experience.

At the same time, he also learned that Sophia's appearance and prestige have now spread to several surrounding countries, and the princes of several nearby countries have proposed to Sophia, but Sophia has sternly refused.

But with the Heaven Dou Empire as their backing, those countries didn't dare to say anything even if they were rejected.

Besides, their purpose was not pure, they wanted to harvest Sophia's lust, and they also wanted to control the country of the Principality of Oran, if things got big and caused trouble to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, they would not take advantage of it at all, and maybe they would lose even more face.

As for why Sophia refused, there may be reasons why she didn't want the Duchy of Oran to be annexed, but the real reason, Ye Lan and Sophia both knew it, but they didn't point it out.

Everyone tacitly agreed.

After listening to Sophia's story quietly, Ye Lan talked to her about the orcs again.

Ye Lan said softly: "Sophia, you also know about the orcs. But I want to remind you that sooner or later there will be a big war between orcs and humans, and you better prepare in advance. ”

Sophia frowned slightly, and looked a little surprised: "It's just some uncivilized savages, is it so serious?" ”

"It's worse than you think. The orc clan also has its own cultural heritage, and they also have super powerhouses equivalent to Title Douluo, they are equivalent to another civilization. This kind of war of clans and civilizations is inevitable, and once the war officially starts, it will inevitably affect the entire continent, and the two empires dare not say that they can stand alone, let alone a small country like Orlan, so you must plan in advance. Ye Lan admonished solemnly.

Sophia nodded solemnly: "I understand." ”

Although she is still a girl who has not been deeply involved in the world in front of Ye Lan, in fact, after being in power for several years, she is no longer the innocent little girl she was at the beginning, in the eyes of outsiders, she is an iron-blooded duke with ruthless means and resolute work, so she can naturally understand the seriousness.

Ye Lan bowed slightly, then flipped his wrist, took out a token, and said, "This is my waist card, you can put it away." If one day, the orc soldiers come to the city and you can't defend the city, you can take this token to the Hidden Sword Chamber of Commerce, or go directly to the Hidden Sword Villa in Tianshui City, and someone will protect you.

You have to remember that neither I nor Zhuqing want you to die like this, you must live well, understand! ”

Sophia took the token and played with it for a while, and asked with some confusion, "Hidden Sword Villa?" Are you really the owner of the Hidden Sword Villa? ”

Obviously, Sophia had also heard the name of the owner of the Hidden Sword Mountain Villa, but although she had thought about whether it would be Ye Lan before, she still felt that it was unlikely in the end and gave up this conjecture.

It's just that I didn't expect that my feeling from the beginning was right!

"I am the owner of the Tibetan Sword Villa, so don't worry, even if I can't protect your whole country, it's enough to protect you."

Sophia put away the waist card with a solemn face, took a deep breath, and said:

"Thank you, Ye Lan."

She didn't mention anything about letting Ye Lan protect all the people of her Principality of Oran.

Her own country is located in the middle of all the vassal states of the Heaven Dou Empire, if the orcs have reached their doorstep, it means that the orcs have achieved great momentum, and the Hidden Sword Villa alone may not be able to block the attack of the orcs, she doesn't want to drag Ye Lan down because of this.

Another is that Ye Lan is willing to help himself, because of the love of the year, and at the same time, there is also the reason why he has a face similar to Zhu Zhuqing.

Helping yourself is love, not duty, Sophia thinks very clearly.

At the same time, Sophia still has some little ninety-nine in her heart.

It's good to be the Grand Duke of Oran, but I'm also a woman, and I also have people I admire.

How could she embarrass the people she loved?

When that day comes, maybe it will be a relief for me.

It has always been her dream to be able to put down the position of Grand Duke and accept the protection of the person she loves!

"By the way, Ye Lan, how long do you plan to stay in Oran City this time?" Sophia asked suddenly.

Ye Lan pondered for a moment and said, "Three days at most." I've been out for a long time, and I need to rush back to the villa to get a closer look at the situation on the orc's side, and the big battle is coming, so I have to plan early. ”

Sophia was a little disappointed when she heard this, it was only three days, which is too short.

However, she can also understand that now that the situation on the mainland is tense, Ye Lan, as the sect master of the upper four sects, naturally can't stay out of the matter, and it is already very face-saving to be able to take the time to stay here for three days.

Thinking of this, Sophia smiled sweetly: "Then you will live in the Grand Duke's Mansion for the past three days, just like back then." So that I can do my best to be a landlord. ”

Ye Lan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay." ”
