Yuan Ming sat on the right hand side that Lu Xicheng had arranged for him a long time ago, and Yuan Xi followed closely to the right side of her father Yuan Ming, who was also slightly red, looking at the beer in the wine glass in his hand and not daring to glance at the left side of Yuan Xi's Sun Qinglong.

Ruyue also looked at Yuan Xi, this girl sat here in a rather stiff posture, which seemed to mean that she was very uncomfortable staying here, her face was also a restrained indifference, her eyes were empty, like a soulless doll, only occasionally when she glanced at her father, her eyes that seemed to be forever cold and indifferent would flash a trace of warmth.

"Brother Yuan? How about staying in Linyang? Outsiders say that Linyang is the city of dreams, the four seasons are like spring, and staying here at different times is like living in a dream that will never wake up. It's been three months since you moved here, so this city should still be quite to your liking, right? Lu Xicheng put his hand on Yuan Ming's shoulder without seeing it, and said with a bold smile.

"To be honest, I don't like the city." Yuan Ming did not resist Lu Xicheng's intimacy, nor did he feel flattered by the fact that some people within the Eternal Night Group were treated like this by their boss, he just used a voice that did not fluctuate much to state such an "objective fact", with clear words and clear eyes.

"Is there anything dissatisfied with Mr. Yuan? Please feel free to ask, all of us at Eternal Night Group are willing to serve you to the fullest. With a smile still on his face, Yang Nianan asked very politely.

It's just a few simple chats, everyone at the banquet is silent, and there is no more warm atmosphere just now, even if it is still not deeply involved in the world at that time, it can be felt that the atmosphere at this time is no longer right.

Yang Guangnian picked up a glass of beer and took a sip gently, as if he was choked, but he still lowered his voice with a napkin and coughed lightly a few times, Luo Ruyan gently patted his back a few times with some concern; Yang Su, who was opposite, turned the teapot in his hand and didn't pay attention to anyone at all; Sun Qinglong's eyes were flustered, but the corner of his eyes stopped on Yuan Xi's jade-like side beside him from time to time...... The elders present all sat up without exception, as if Yuan Ming's "I don't like this city" was a rather serious situation.

"It's not that I don't like it, to be exact. For me, it doesn't really matter where I live, I don't need any material or spiritual comforts, the only thing I need is knowledge. But my daughter doesn't like the city, and since my daughter doesn't like the city, I don't think there's any need for me to stay here. Yuan Ming pushed away Lu Xicheng's hand on his shoulder without a trace, and said without any ups and downs in his expression.

Everyone's eyes returned to Yuan Xi who had been sitting beside Yuan Ming in a daze at the same time, she just put her hands on her legs like a puppet and didn't move, and she didn't seem to have any interest in the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Wanruyue was a little skeptical, are the father and son both facial paralysis? One looks like a nerd who doesn't understand the amorous style, and the other looks like a soulless doll.

"Little Yuan Xi doesn't like it here? Why? Yang Su looked at Yuan Xi resentfully: "My sister will take you to surf and travel and play games, little Yuan Xi, you still don't like it here, I'm so sad." ”

"No...... It's not my sister's problem......" Yuan Xi made a glutinous voice, a little cold, a little flustered, as soon as she opened her mouth, she seemed to have suddenly fallen into the world from another world that did not exist, and her face was more like a human blush, which made people want to take a bite.

"It's just the city...... It's too crowded, too noisy, too lively. Yuan Xi said in a low voice, she lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone who looked at her.

"Squeezed? Noisy? Overly lively? Luxicheng said as if hearing a fantasy: "Since the minerals here were exhausted in the last century, the population of this city has fallen again and again, and in recent years, there have been cults and murders, and the population has been growing negatively every year, and the population has fallen by more than 20 percent compared with previous years." Everyone is complaining that it's too lonely, but you're telling me it's too noisy? ”

"Tong Yan Wuji, Brother Lu, don't care too much, Xiao Yuan Xi may just say that the security in this city is too poor, after all, there are always some people in the city's public security bureau." Sun Haoran's short arm pinched his beard, which was not too dense under his chin, and said with a smile.

"Maybe it's just that there are some unscrupulous traders in our city who start out with cheating, and the black background can't be washed away, which makes the whole city smoky." Luo Xuan said lightly, although there was half a table between him and Sun Haoran, they would face each other for various reasons all the time......

"No, it's not......" Yuan Xi shook his head in a panic, his face turned even redder: "I didn't mean that, I, I, I meant ......"

Everyone is waiting in silence for her to speak, what the hell do you mean?

"You know what? Underneath the city, and on the island, and ...... And also...... There are many other places where many, many people are sleeping! Yuan Xi was trying to articulate something.

"And those people are the food of a few very dark and powerful things! The sound of them munching on food rings in my head all the time, it's too noisy, it's really too noisy! I couldn't stand it at all, I had never seen anything like it anywhere else. Yuan Xi said a long list of words that most of the people present could not understand at all.

"I'm sorry, my daughter sometimes has paranoia, I don't know why she reacts the way she does, but since she doesn't feel well here, I can't let her continue to torture her in this living quarter." Yuan Ming said respectfully to the others, his tone was still so calm but no one could question it: "No matter how attractive the things here are, no matter how tempting your conditions are, they can't be compared to my favorite daughter." This is the determination of our Yuan family, and it is also the determination of my son and wife. I won't let my daughter get hurt in any way anymore. ”

Although he didn't understand what Yuan Ming meant, what was hidden in his words, and he didn't know what this banquet was for. But Ruyue felt that this Yuan Ming, who looked very weak, seemed to be really reliable, compared to her father who looked forward and backward and trembled on thin ice on any occasion, like a dragon, he was really hundreds of times more reliable. Why is there such a big difference between people and people? My father is a useless bastard, but someone else's father can do anything to protect his daughter.

"Oh, that's it," Lu Xicheng just smiled lightly, and looked at Yuan Xi, who was always filled with panic and uneasiness on his face, with a strange look that seemed to be looking at the most precious treasure in the world, and he asked in a gentle tone, "Then Miss Yuan Xi, what do you see and what do you hear?" That's one of the things I've always been very, very curious about. ”

"I won't let you hurt my daughter because of your curiosity, she's had suffered enough of her sins before, and if she continues like this, no one can predict what bad luck will happen to her." Yuan Ming shook his head resolutely, he grabbed Yuan Xi's little hand, and without hesitation, he was about to pull Yuan Xi out of the seat.

"But my dear brother Yuan, do you really plan to escape like this?" Lu Xicheng didn't mean to stop him, he just smiled at Yuan Ming and said, "Or do you really think that everything that happened to your daughter can only be explained by 'paranoia'?" Aren't you deceiving yourself too much, your evasion like this makes no sense at all! ”

"If you don't explore the other real kingdom beneath this surface world, if you don't spread the glory of science to any dark corner of this world, what awaits your daughter is destined to be nothing more than a never-ending nightmare. Having such power is both a gift and a curse for your daughter. The real fate, but there is no way for you to escape! Luci was speaking a barrage of incoherent nonsense, but his eyes sparkled with excitement like never before.

Ruyue had never seen such an Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu should have been eternally calm and rational in her eyes, and every word he said should have a deep meaning and a clear order, but Lu Xicheng now said such an incomprehensible sentence without any thought, that can only represent-

He was speaking the truth without any processing by his brain.

And for a person like Lu Xicheng, he still has the truth, and he can still reveal a trace of his sincerity, which is quite unbelievable for Wanruyue, who was extremely precocious at that time. (To be continued.) )
