Chapter 351: Family Dinner
When Xiao Zhen heard this, he suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, but when he thought that this body was indeed someone else's grandson, he didn't show it too much. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā
Looking at the old man in front of him, with silver-gray hair, wrinkled face, and a flash of essence in his cloudy eyes from time to time, it shows that he is a powerful warrior with good fighting spirit, the old man is dressed in gorgeous clothes, although his body looks a little old, but he does not have crutches or anything like that, as a fourth-level martial artist, even if he has suffered heavy losses, his body transformed by battle qi can still support his actions.
"Grandpa!"
After a pause, Xiao Zhen still spoke.
"Okay, let Grandpa take a good look!" The Marquis of Duncan came to Xiao Zhen, bent down slightly and took Xiao Zhen's hand, and looked carefully at the child in front of him, Xiao Zhen had brown hair, which was the hair color of his mother Tina, and the pupils were dark blue, which was passed down from his father Valen, and was also of Duncan family blood, although he was young, he was very tall, he didn't look like he was six years old, he had to look like he was ** years old, coupled with his mature and stable demeanor, he couldn't treat it as a child at all.
"Good! Tired all the way, right? Let's go, grandpa will take you to dinner, and have a good rest after dinner! Marquis Duncan smiled and took Xiao Zhen's hand and walked towards the courtyard.
"Good!" Xiao Zhen nodded and walked in.
Andes followed behind, wanting to speak several times, but when he saw Marquis Duncan holding Xiao Zhen's hand, he kept asking him how he lived in the territory of Anmara, whether he had been wronged or not, so he didn't say anything, or wait for the dinner to be over, and then find a time to tell him, those guards have been given a gag order by him, and there should be no news in a short time.
After a while, the dinner began.
Although the Duncan family's prestige in the royal city is not as good as before, it still retains the family traditions it once had, and the Marquis family's dining scene cannot be lost.
The restaurant is huge, with beautiful patterns carved into the surrounding walls, and some beautiful images of flora and fauna.
There are also some ornate lamps hanging on the walls, and there are many candles burning in the lamps, which illuminate the restaurant very brightly.
In the center of the dining room, there was a huge long table, and the Marquis Duncan sat on the main seat at the top, no one could doubt this, and to his left and right, sat Andes and another young man, this young man was meticulously dressed, with an aristocratic atmosphere, and his face was calm, even if he saw Xiao Zhen, he did not show much surprise, and sat quietly in his position without speaking.
There was a young man in his early teens sitting next to this young man, but this young man looked at Xiao Scar with a disgusted face at the moment, and the dislike in his eyes made Xiao Scar laugh in his heart, it seems that his arrival has affected the status of this young man in the heart of Marquis Duncan.
Xiao Scar sat in the Andean position, one of the four people closest to the Marquis of Duncan, as soon as he came to this place, he sat in this position, could it be that the young man opposite would be unhappy with him, not only the young man opposite, some people in the back seat also looked at Xiao Scar with different faces, some people showed curiosity, some people showed disgust, and some people showed expectations, of course, some people didn't show any expression, maybe they didn't care, maybe they had some thoughts hidden deeply.
But Xiao Zhen didn't care about any of this, for him, these were not a problem.
"Today is a great day for Kevin to return to the family, everyone should know Kevin's talent, he is the hope of our family's future rise, we must unite to reproduce the glory of the family!" Marquis Duncan said in a deep voice.
"Father is right!" Hearing this, the young man opposite the Andes nodded solemnly and said: "Our family was originally in the royal city, one of the nobles standing at the top, but because of the incident seven years ago, in addition to my father's marquisate title is still there, our family's various resources and forces have been lost, and now Kevin's arrival has given us hope for the rise, in the future, as long as Kevin can become a powerful warrior, our family has the possibility of re-rising!" ”
"So, Kevin!" The young man looked at Xiao Zhen: "If there is any problem with cultivation in the future, you can come and ask me, although I am only a second-level martial artist now, as long as I can help you, I will definitely not refuse!" ”
"Kevin!" When the Marquis Duncan heard this, he said with a smile: "This is your second uncle, Hogg!" ”
"Thank you, Second Uncle Hogg!" Xiao Zhen thanked him, he now knew that this young man was his father's younger brother, one of the three sons of the Marquis of Duncan, his father Valen was the eldest son, Hogg was the second son, and there was another son, but now he didn't know where he was, since he was not in this place, he might have fled to other places because of the turmoil seven years ago.
Speaking of which, this Hogg was also one of his father's great enemies back then.
Why?
Because he occasionally heard Valen talk about one of the turmoils, because of the coma of the Marquis Duncan, the Duncan family, which had lost its strongest combat power, would fail, and the family members scattered in different places were leaderless, and were broken by the enemy, and the family property was divided between the enemy and the remaining family members.
Hogg took advantage of this opportunity to take away the unconscious Marquis Duncan, temporarily take over the duties of the head of the family, and privately assigned Valen to the town of Ammara to avoid the limelight, and he himself took refuge in one of the other forces in the royal city.
This force is none other than the Warrior Alliance.
Marquis Duncan is a fifth-level martial artist, although his strength has dropped greatly because of a coma, but before that, even if his strength is not the strongest in Wangcheng, he is also one of the high-level martial artists, and he also has a good weight in the branch of the King's Alliance set up in Wangcheng.
After so many years of hiding, he finally came to his senses.
But when he woke up and tried to find the enemy he had used to deal with his family, he couldn't find it.
The Snowwell family has left themselves clean, even if the Duncan family sues the noble council, they can't do anything about it, they are not stupid, they didn't send half of the family warriors to participate in the battle at all, and the warriors who dealt with the Duncan family were all warriors from other countries outside the kingdom, and after a blow, they fled immediately, and they couldn't be found.
As for why the man in front of him looked so young, this was not a problem, it was normal for a battle qi martial artist to appear young because of the fact that the battle qi tempered his body.
The teenage boy next to him is his son, right?
Xiao Zhen glanced at him, then lowered his head to eat.
After dinner, the Duncan family had already arranged a room for him, Xiao Zhen entered the room and began to rest, in fact, he has not been lazy recently, it should be said that he has never been lazy, his time is very urgent, and he is more eager to improve his strength than anyone else.
While Xiao Scar was resting, Andes came to the study of the Marquis of Duncan alone.
The Marquis of Duncan, who had finished dinner, had not been able to rest, even if he was not as healthy as before, but the family still needed him to be at the helm, but fortunately, he had a second son to help him deal with a lot of things, so that he didn't have to worry too much.
"Andes, my brother, haven't you rested yet?" Marquis Duncan looked up and saw that it was not Hogg who knocked on the door and came in, but Andes, and couldn't help but wonder: "It's such a long way, if you're tired, go and rest, if there's anything you can talk about tomorrow!" ”
"Big brother! It's important, I have to tell you right now! Andean said in a deep voice.
"Oh? What is so important? When the Marquis of Duncan heard this, he asked, he knew the character of Andes, if it was not a big deal, he would not say that.
"Big brother, we're all wrong... Andes took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "Kevin, he is not so simple as feeling qi at all!" ”
"What?" When Marquis Duncan heard this, his heart jumped, and he frowned: "Could it be that the news that Kevin was six years old and felt qi was wrong?" ”
He immediately felt a little lost in his heart, but after thinking about it, when he saw Kevin before, he immediately took his hand and felt it, Kevin did have a bit of the aura of a warrior, but he was a little unclear, is it really wrong news? Suddenly he was a little disappointed.
"No!"
Andes shook his head, and then said: "I mean, Kevin is now an official battle qi martial artist, and the so-called just comprehended the qi sense, this news is already behind!" ”
"What!?"
The Marquis of Duncan was taken aback!
