"I knew it would be like this, you young people, who always think you can do anything, but in fact you don't understand the true meaning of life. ”

"Do you mean that life is not an adventure, but a survival?" Xiao Chen asked.

"You know?"

"Tasia told me your motto. It's just that, in many cases, adventures are just about survival. ”

"Okay. I know I can't convince you, but ......" Vincent lowered his head as if considering something, and then he looked up again and said, "There's one thing I didn't talk about before. Because I'm not sure if it's a hoax or not. But now, I have to talk to you. ”

"Did you know that you were seen that night when you and Tasia left?"

"We were the last to go that day, but we were in a hurry, and we couldn't rule out that some guests who walked slower would see us. ”

"It doesn't matter who sees it. But with Tasia's disappearance, some nasty rumors have emerged in the Magic Society. You know what?" Vincent said

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Of course you don't know, shouldn't you have gotten the news at the latest?" sighed Vincent, "I've heard at least four or five different versions. ”

"What rumors?"

"It's nothing more than a matter for men and women. After all, she went out with you so late, no matter how you say it, it is not something that a noble girl should do. Vincent's expression was not good-looking, and he obviously didn't want to say anything more.

"But Belia was also ...... that day" Xiao Chen glanced at Belea, but found that she was a little absent-minded.

"Do you think the facts matter? People who spread rumors only tell two kinds of stories, what they want to say and what others want to hear. Vincent sneered and said, "What's more, what's so strange about her presence as a guard, do you think that the nobles all go alone for cheating?"

Xiao Chen said: "Of course I'm willing to clarify this matter, but there is a word in our hometown called the more cats get darker." After all, I don't have any evidence either. ”

Vincent waved his hand, stared at Xiao Chen for a while, and said, "I don't need you to clarify the facts, it's useless, I just need to provide you with an irrefutable identity, and all the problems will be solved naturally." ”

Xiao Chen looked at the other party's eyes, and had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Fiancé. Vincent said word for word, "I'm going to declare you her fiancé who was secretly engaged to her." In this way, both Tasia's reputation and Alonso's family honor are safeguarded. ”

"It's ridiculous. ”

"She only has a soul left because of you, and I want you to at least save her reputation. ”

Xiao Chen stood up and said sincerely, "I remember all the help that Tasia helped me. But this matter can be solved in other ways. If one clarification doesn't work, we can say it twice, three times, and we can even ask those heavyweights to come forward and testify. ”

"Young man, listen to me first. It's a thing that can only be good for you. Vincent waved him to sit down, "I'll give you all the perks that Tasia's fiancé deserves, cultivation resources, magic guidance, all kinds of opportunities to meet powerful mages, and the protection and support of the Alonso family." And you just have to play the role of the man who lost his fiancée. We provide support for as long as you play this role. If you're really ready to play that role forever, the Alonso family will recognize you as one of us. ”

Seeing that Xiao Chen was about to speak again, Vincent said again: "If you are worried that Tasia has no body. I'll leave Belia behind. Let her take the role of a wife. ”

Xiao Chen was taken aback by this proposal, and he immediately rejected sternly: "This is impossible. I disagree, and I'm sure neither Tasia nor Belia will agree. ”

"On the contrary, what reason did Tasia disagree? It was not a big deal among the nobles. Belia is the daughter of the groom, and it was our family who discovered her talent for vindictiveness and then gave her the opportunity to grow, so everything she has is originally family's, and the meaning of her existence is Tasia. Before that, she even considered cutting herself into your world and then accompanying Tasia. It's just that Tasia refused. As long as it's good for Tasia, she can do anything. Vincent squinted at Belea.

"Yes. Your Excellency Xiao Chen, as long as it is for the sake of Miss, I can do anything. Belia walked over and got down on one knee in front of the three of them.

However, Xiao Chen didn't see any resoluteness in her blue eyes, only hesitation and panic.

"Mr. Alonso. I still refuse. Xiao Chen's voice was cold, he was really angry, in Vincent's eyes, no matter how powerful Belia was from a commoner, it was just a tool, she could switch between a sword and a pillow at any time, and she could even be abandoned without hesitation if necessary. Although the strength of this ancient family may be very strong, the warriors who step on the high ranks are still in the minority, and this attitude of not caring comes more from the disdain of the nobles for the commoners. Xiao Chen believed that if Belia was the daughter of a broken nobleman, she would never be treated like this.

"Do you know what it means to reject the Alonso family?" Vincent's voice also hardened.

Xiao Chen was about to fight back, but was stopped by a look from Luo Ling.

"Mr. Alonso, let me remind you of one thing. Today we are here to solve the problem and not to cause conflict, if all you are troubled is Miss Tasia's reputation. Why bother? With a little cooperation, I can solve it. Luo Ling said indifferently.

————————————————

After Vincent left, Xiao Chen appeared in front of Tasia again.

Tasia behaved strangely today, turning her face away at the sight of him and hanging her head.

Xiao Chen said, "Tasia, your father talked to me just now. ”

"Hmm. She replied softly.

"I wonder whose idea is the so-called fiancée. ”

"Ahh ”

"And what do you think?"

"I didn't say anything...... I do not know. Her voice grew softer.

"What did Belia do, your father told you?"

"Belea, do you mean she wants to kill herself? "I also got into an argument with my father. ”

"There's something else, I mean let her take your place. ”

"What do you mean? I don't understand. ”

Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, at least the embarrassment in his heart was much less: "I'm sorry, your father's proposal was firmly rejected by me. ”

"Oh. Tasia didn't react much, she looked at the ground, "Well, it's not strange at all." ”

"I'm sorry. You...... Rest well. Xiao Chen, who felt very embarrassed, disappeared from front of her after speaking.

"Alas......" Tasia looked at the sea in the distance, stunned.
