Chapter 30: Persistence
Count Aidale, who was brewing emotions and was ready to tell Qin Ran everything, was almost choked by Qin Ran's neat refusal.
"Ahem."
The old man coughed several times in a row, and after trying extremely hard to adjust his emotions, he once again looked at the young man in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.
The mature temperament has long covered up the immature face, and in every word and deed, with almost rigid habits, even if you sit there, your back is as straight as a javelin.
If you don't look at your face seriously, just look at your back, you think you've met a middle-aged man with a good background and good manners.
But the young man in front of him has a restraint that those middle-aged people don't have!
Take a look at the room in front of you.
Wouldn't a young man with a little ability live in such a room.
Not to mention the well-born guys.
They may have shown kindness and humility in normal times.
But the arrogance hidden in the eyes is innate, and it will be unconsciously manifested in all aspects, forming a gap like a moat with ordinary people, and inadvertently using it to set off its own extraordinary.
For such guys, Adal has seen too much, too much.
But what about Qin Ran?
But he was willing to do it without the slightest complaint.
Count Aydal looked at the other party's indifferent face and eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.
Because, once again, he thought of Qin Ran's strength.
He had heard of that kind of powerful strength and seen it with his own eyes.
One enemy and one army!
Standing there, let an army retreat, but not everyone can do it.
"You're not like the average person."
"It doesn't matter if it's your peers or people older than you, you're different from them."
"The way of thinking."
"The habit of doing things."
"You have your own principles......"
"You must have experienced something, otherwise you wouldn't be where you are now, I'm curious about what you've experienced."
"But, I guess you won't tell me."
The old man sighed slightly.
Qin Ran didn't pay attention to the other party's words at all.
The old man's guess about him, as long as he is a normal person, can guess.
Utter nonsense.
Listening to such nonsense, it is far more interesting to think about what kind of supper Mary will prepare for him.
In fact, Qin Ran did the same.
As he sat there, his eyes began to drift and his nose fluttered.
Qin Ran hoped to use his powerful perception to smell the taste of food.
The old earl looked at Qin Ran's movements and was stunned again.
He didn't understand what Qin Ran was doing.
But that didn't stop him from continuing.
"Originally, I was a little apprehensive about telling you this secret."
"But your performance let me know that I was overly worried."
"You ......"
"When stewing meat, you should add more soup."
"A little bit hotter."
Qin Ran's abrupt words made the old earl's words come to an abrupt end.
Even if he was a fool, this old earl understood what Qin Ran was doing just now.
"The food really doesn't pale in comparison to the secrets I'm going to tell you."
The old earl said with a serious expression.
"The secrets you're going to tell me are really nothing compared to food."
Qin Ran replied equally seriously.
Then, Qin Ran turned his head to look at the other party.
He knew that if he didn't make it clear to the other party, he would face this chattering old man when he ate for a while.
In order not to delay the deliciousness of the food, Qin Ran said.
"Thank you for trusting me."
"But I really don't want to know His Majesty's secrets about James VIII."
"He also has a daughter."
"His daughter is still my friend."
"I'm willing to help my friend, but I don't think such a conversation should jump over Mary."
Qin Ran's very formal tone made the old Count Adal stunned again.
"That's why you refused?"
"Because I'm looking for you, and I've jumped over Mary?"
The old earl asked, slightly incredulous.
"Hmm."
"Mary and I are friends, so we should respect her existence."
"She has more rights than I do to know all this."
Qin Ran nodded.
"But you're more qualified than she is to take on everything."
The old earl's brow furrowed.
"Eligibility is never determined by who says it."
"It exists in itself."
"And it has never been more than the inheritance of the surname, the blood and the will."
Qin Ran said, stood up, and opened the door.
"Mary will bring me my supper soon, did you choose to leave?"
"Or find the right time to tell her everything?"
"When I say the right time, I definitely don't include when I have a late-night snack for a while."
Qin Ran emphasized.
"What a strange person."
The old count shook his head with a wry smile and walked towards the door.
Two minutes after the old earl left, Mary appeared with a plate, and the aroma of food brought by the other party made Qin Ran involuntarily approach, and then took a deep breath.
"Beef, chops and lettuce and corn flavors."
Qin Ran squinted and said, with a kind of comfort on his face that ordinary people didn't understand.
"Stewed oxtail."
"Grilled chops."
"Corn lettuce bisque."
Mary looked at Qin Ran, who was close at hand, and her face couldn't help but blush, but immediately put the food on the only table in the room like a treasure.
And Qin Ran was not polite.
In other words, when eating, Qin Ran never knew what courtesy was.
Just like in battle, he likes to attack.
When eating, he is also full of aggression.
There are both his own and 'gluttonous'.
Five minutes!
Enough food for three people to wipe it all out.
"It's better than I thought."
"I never knew you had such a skill."
Qin Ran said with a slight surprise.
"As the heir of Swut Castle, you don't just have to learn martial arts."
Mary picked up the utensils, winked at Qin Ran, and returned to the kitchen briskly.
The fact that the princess entered the kitchen was a surprise in itself, let alone washing the dishes, but for the heirs of Shutburg, it was normal.
Qin Ran looked at Mary's back and couldn't help but smile.
But right away, he restrained his smile.
Because, he heard a sound of footsteps.
Soon, the old earl appeared again.
The other party stood in front of the open door, knocked on the door first, and then said with a smile: "Good evening, Your Excellency 2567." ”
"I think I've made it clear enough."
Qin Ran's brows furrowed.
He didn't want to entangle with the old earl in front of him.
He doesn't have that kind of free time.
Turning Mary from a princess to a queen in 30 days is not just a matter of watching.
"Yes, you made it clear."
"So, I'm going to tell you a secret related to you, as a thank you."
"About the Serpent Sect."
The other party said and walked into the room.
The door is open and closes.
