Among the mercenary unions, in the living room.

Erin frowned lightly and looked at a middle-aged man in front of her, elegantly picked up the teacup beside her, tasted it lightly, the slightly bitter tea quietly melted in her mouth, and invaded her heart.

"Ahem, Irene... Last time in the family, the order to call you back was also a last resort, after all, with your strength at that time, you couldn't keep the status of the mercenary union in the Holy Capital City at all, and maybe you would have to worry about your life......." Seeing Erin's cold face, the middle-aged man coughed dryly and said.

"Hehe, is it? Father, it took me a long time for the Mercenary Guild of the Holy Capital City to reorganize into what it is now, and you sent Ai Shi with just one sentence, and you want me to hand over the position of president to him?" Erin sneered.

"In the past, maybe there was something wrong in the family, but it was really for your safety, you are a mere seventh-order earth sword master, in the eyes of the thieves union, it is really nothing, if they really want to assassinate you, you can't hide at all." Looking at Erin's stubborn pretty face, the middle-aged man sighed helplessly.

"Tell me, what do you want to do when you come to the Holy Capital City this time?" Erin's small hand clasped the crystal teacup and said coldly.

"It's not long before the union battle takes place, do you think I won't come?" The middle-aged man shook his head, and suddenly asked cautiously, "That... Irene, is that news from the Holy Capital City true?"

Hearing this, Erin glanced at him lightly, that news?apart from the news that Li Yi is a saint-level powerhouse, what other news can make him care so much, a mocking smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and he lowered his head to drink tea, neither saying yes nor saying no......

Looking at the silent Ai bandit, the middle-aged man clasped his hands a little embarrassedly, and said with a dry smile: "Erin, that... Is that black-haired young man really a saint? only in his twenties?"

Erin raised her pretty face, pursed her rosy lips, and sneered, "Aren't you going to marry me to that Angus guy?

"Hey." The middle-aged man looked at Erin, who was very resentful, sighed helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Erin, it's not that you don't know the distribution of power in the family, although I am the nominal patriarch, but ...... The real power is in the hands of the Senate, and the orders they give are obeyed only by me, and it is from the Senate that you marry Artis."

Glancing at Erin, whose face was slightly thawed, she continued: "When this order was issued, I also objected, but in the face of the unified order of the House of Elders, you can imagine whether my opposition is valid or not."

"That.. And what orders have been given by the House of Elders now?" Erin asked, raising her eyes.

"A few days ago, the Holy Capital Imperial Family sent someone to deliver a message to the family, saying... Break your engagement with Angus."

"Oh?" Erin raised her head in surprise and said, "Have they given up the help of the mercenary union?"

"Hehe, although they are reluctant to give up, however, offending one of the youngest saint ranks in the continent for the sake of a mercenary union seems to be a very cost-effective deal, so it is only natural for them to dissolve the marriage contract." The middle-aged man picked up the red wine beside him, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile.

"Yes." Erin's big eyes blinked slightly, and a proud smile rose at the corner of her mouth, "Li Yi, you are really the best."

......

"Irene... Well, does that brunette really like you?" The middle-aged man suddenly asked in a low voice.

"What do you mean, Father?" Erin Dai raised her eyebrows slightly and said coldly.

"Hehe, it's not interesting...... I just want to say that if you can let this young man participate in the union battle in place of our mercenary union this time, the Council of Elders will decide to make you the next mercenary patriarch heir." The middle-aged man smiled, and in his eyes, the eager light firmly stared at Erin.

To the surprise of the middle-aged man, Erin glanced at him coldly, a trace of disdain appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she sneered: "Father, this matter... I won't give you any reply, Li Yi has helped me enough, and I haven't done anything for him, now, for the sake of that illusory ranking, do you still want me to call Li Yi and fight desperately with those strong people?

"You... You." Hearing Erin's words, the middle-aged man was furious, and pointed at her with a blue face and shouted angrily: "Erin, I am now ordering you as the patriarch to do everything possible to let that young man replace the mercenary guild in the competition."

"If you want to call, you can go yourself, anyway, I will never open my mouth to let Li Yi participate in that union dispute." The crystal teacup in Erin's hand slammed heavily on the table, and said coldly.

"You...... Didn't you want the position of patriarch the most in the past?Now that you have a chance, why give it up?" the middle-aged man said angrily with a gloomy face.

"Hehe, before, I wanted to get the position of the patriarch, but I didn't want my mother and I to be looked down upon in the family, but you are a big man, and you can't even take care of your wife and daughter. Who else is there to tell me this?" Thinking of the humiliation and white eyes of her mother with her young self in the family before, Erin's heart was like a knife, and she smiled sadly, and cried a little hysterically.

"You ....... You, how dare you talk to me like that. "The pain in my heart was said by Erin, the middle-aged man, uh, it should be said that he is the current patriarch of the mercenary family, Aipo. He sat up with a blue face, stepped forward, raised his palm, and wanted to incite it.

"Fight, hehe, didn't you beat us before? For my mother, do you know how much effort I put in? But you will only pay attention to us for the position of your patriarch, if it weren't for the childhood. Cousin Ai Shi often took care of us, and you don't know when my mother and I died. Looking at the raised palm, Erin's eyes were crystal clear. But he still stubbornly raised his pretty face.

Ai Po's face twitched, and he was so angry that he directly instigated at the stubborn little face......

......

"Hehe, my Li Yi's woman. When will it be the turn of others to teach a lesson?" Just as the fleshy palm was about to hit Erin's pretty face, a low sneer sounded above the void, accompanied by a sneer, and there were ripples in the space......

The spatial ripples directly froze Ai Lan on the void, making him maintain the posture of waving his right hand, unable to move.

"Hehe, baby, are you alright?" a soft chuckle rang in Erin's ears. One arm hugged Erin's soft little waist tightly with a domineering arm.

Feeling the familiar warm breath coming from behind her, Erin couldn't bear the grievances in her heart anymore, buried her head in the warm embrace, and cried loudly.

Looking at the little head in his arms that was constantly twitching, Li Yi's dark pupils flashed a trace of pity, and his palm gently brushed over the silky fiery red hair...... Just now he had already put all the conversation between the two in his ears...... Erin knew that if she wanted to participate in the competition on behalf of the mercenary union, it would be just a matter of words, but she didn't take it upon herself to agree to the agreement for herself. Even if you have the position of the bullshit patriarch......

Hehe. What does this mean? It shows that Li Yi's position in Erin's heart has begun to slowly surpass the status of the family, although Li Yi doesn't care much about this. However, the vanity of that man made him very happy......

After Irene cried in Li Yi's arms for a long time, she raised her head, revealing her pretty face with pear blossoms and rain, gently twitching her snow-white pretty nose, and said in a low voice: "Li Yi, put him down first, okay?"

Li Yi stretched out his slender fingers, gently wiped away the tears on his pretty face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, although he is my father-in-law, but you are my wife, if you want to teach a lesson, except for my qualifications, who would dare to do it?"

Hearing this, Erin gave him a coquettish look, and her little hand tapped lightly on her chest.

Sister Erin, when are you taking me to meet your mother?" Li Yi lowered his head and gently bit the tip of his delicate ear.

Feeling the tingling sensation coming from the tip of her ear, Erin chuckled, dodged her head sideways, and chuckled: "Li Yi, next time we go to the family, we will bring our mother out, okay?"

Looking at Erin's pleading gaze, Li Yi nodded with a gentle smile, and said softly: "Erin, do you want to be the patriarch?"

Erin nodded and shook her head casually, looking at Li Yi's puzzled eyes, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled: "I used to want to be the patriarch, just to make my mother's life better, but now, Erin wants to turn the mercenary union into Li Yi's eyes and do anything for you......"

Li Yi scratched Erin's proud nose with pettiness, glanced at Ai Po who was frozen in the void, and said lightly.

"In that case, then Erin is the next patriarch of the mercenary family, of course, before you become the patriarch, the obstructive elders' house must be eliminated in advance. ”
