Confucius stepped into the hall where he was receiving his guests, and he saw an old butler in a suit standing next to a noble girl of about fourteen years old. And the girl picked up the teacup, her delicate little mouth blew the freshly brewed tea, and tasted Dongyuan's unique fragrant tea. The butler looked up and smiled when he saw Confucius.

"Long time no see, my old friend. The butler spoke.

"Long time no see, Dennis. Confucius smiled, the old butler named Dennis was a friend that Confucius had made during his travels to the West Pole, to the same extent as a friend of life and death.

"You look older than before, and I almost don't recognize you. Confucius said jokingly.

"Hmph, you're pretty much the same. When you fought against the Jedi King, your majestic posture shocked many soldiers and captured the hearts of many noble ladies. But now look at you, it's no different from an old man. Dennis didn't hesitate to fight back, but the smile on his face couldn't hide the feeling of seeing his old friend for many years.

"Ahem, there's no way, the years don't forgive. The master coughed to hide his embarrassment, "Hmm, who is this familiar young lady?" Confucius looked at the girl sitting in the chair.

"Well, you've seen her seven years ago. She is the sole heir of the St. Bauhinia family, Joanna Eve, and my master, the eldest lady of the St. Bauhinia family. Dennis said respectfully, as if he were saying something quite honorable.

"Gui'an, you must be the world-famous Mr. Confucius, right? Eve must have caused a lot of trouble when she came uninvited, so please don't mind. She stood up from her chair and said politely.

"It turns out that you are Eve, seven years ago you were a lovely little lady, and now when you grow up, even the old man will not recognize you. Confucius said with a smile, "The two of you must be very tired from the long journey, please give a face, take a good rest in this mansion, and wait for the old man to let someone come to introduce you to the characteristics of the Eastern Far Continent." ”

Butler Dennis shook his head and refused: "Old friend, don't worry too much, we came here today to discuss something with you." We'll leave as soon as we're done. ”

"Hmm, what is it that is so hasty and important?" asked Confucius.

Dennis nodded and said, "Yes, before that..."

"Where's Mr. Charlotte?"

......

"Senior Sister Yashuang, are you saying that there is a convoy of horses parked outside the mansion, and it looks like their owner is from the West Pole Continent?" Yu Hai Muxian pursed his lips and handed Yashuang the small bowl that had just finished drinking hot water.

"Well, that's what the maids and guards say. Although the old butler who took the lead was smiling, he was actually fierce, and deliberately intimidated our guard brother. Yashuang said dissatisfiedly, "And I heard that they also saw the housekeeper come uninvited, and he walked into the Confucian Mansion by himself, don't the people of the West Pole know how to be polite? But Senior Sister Mu Xian, what do you say the people of the West Pole are doing in the Confucian Mansion? Our continent is separated by an endless ocean, and the two places have no intersection at all." ”

"Hmm... To be honest, I don't know. But speaking of which, people from the West Pole also came to our house seven years ago... Seven years ago..."Yu Hai Muxian gradually fell into deep thought and muttered, "No, Senior Sister Yashuang, did you see that butler-like Xiji man with a girl about fourteen years old?" she grabbed Yashuang tightly, revealing a serious expression.

Yashuang was suddenly caught by Mu Xian and was startled, "Ahhh I don't know, those are all from the people, and I haven't met the Xiji person. Then, as if she remembered something, she said, "But after you mentioned this, I seem to have heard people say that the housekeeper walked into Kongshangfu with a young girl. ”

"What a beautiful goose-egg face, with a delicate doll-like face, and pale blonde hair," she struggled to recall.

"Pale blonde hair... It's not good, I have a premonition that I don't want to!" Mu Xian sat up and quickly sorted out the clothes on her body, "I'm going to see what happened." Then he pushed the door open and walked out quickly.

"Eh?!Senior sister, where are you going?" Yashuang, who was stunned, put down the small bowl and ran out of the door to follow Mu Xian.

......

"Dennis, you said you were looking for Charlotte?" Confucius hesitated for a moment, then looked at Eve, "Are you talking about the marriage contract between her and Charlotte?"

Dennis gave Eve a questioning look, and Eve nodded in agreement. He coughed and cleared his throat and said, "That's right, my old friend. Truth be told, we've come all the way here for this one. ”

"Then we will make a long story short, the Shangfu visited Confucius today for a reluctant invitation from the St. Bauhinia family. ”

"Please dissolve the engagement between Charlotte and our young lady. ”

"What... What?!" Confucius's face turned red instantly, and he stared at the old butler Dennis with wide eyes, "The old man may not hear too clearly, please old friend... Say one more time?"

"Please calm down, my old friend. Dennis hurriedly persuaded Confucius, "Regarding the dissolution of the marriage contract, it is indeed the fault of our St. Bauhinia family, and we will make generous compensation..."

"This is not a question of compensation or not!" the master said angrily, "Dennis, the old man has known you for many years, and you have never been the kind of person who easily tears up the agreement. Seven years ago, the old man told the whole world that Xia Luo and Mu Xian had made a marriage contract at the same time, and all the disciples in the house and your family also witnessed the engagement in person! But now you are suddenly going to break the marriage contract today? What is your reputation as an old man?"

Dennis sighed, as if the old butler had known that Confucius would suddenly be angry, and said, "Hey, my dear friend. I don't want to tear up the marriage contract, but my family's side..."

"Alright, that's enough Dennis. I'll explain the rest. Eve interrupted the old butler, who stood up and bowed to Confucius in apology.

"Not long ago, the Pope of the West Pole personally issued a pre-decree designating Miss Ben as the next generation of official saints. And one of the harsh conditions for becoming a saint is that Miss Ben must cut off the fetters and causes of the mortal world. ”

"Including the marriage contract, of course. Eve said respectfully, "Please also ask Mr. Master to be Miss Ben." ”

Confucius looked at Eve quietly, his pale lips trembled, and Dennis, who had known Master for many years, knew very well that this was a sign before Confucius became angry, and he moved to Eve and faced Master.

The Master knew very well in his heart that this young girl had been selected as a candidate for the Holy Maiden seven years ago, but he did not expect that today, seven years later, this noble lady would be directly named by the Pope as the official Holy Lady of the next generation.

After all, there is only one Holy See in the entire West Pole Continent, there is only one Pope in the Holy See, and there is only one Holy Woman in the Holy See, but there are millions of Holy Female candidates. At that time, Confucius thought that this young lady could only be a candidate for a saint at most, or that she would be promoted to the service of a saint in the future. Because marriage and engagement were allowed as a saint's servant, the Master didn't think so much about it at that time, and directly agreed to the marriage contract.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven.

Crackling! Several crisp crackling of porcelain resounded all around.

The ceramic vases and teapots in the hall suddenly shattered without warning.
