Chapter 19: Apprentice accusations have no good results
An old man, a table, a dice Gu, and two glasses of wine made Lin Qiu realize the meaning of the Hongmen Banquet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ying closed his eyes, sat opposite him, picked up the wine glass alone and took a sip: "Big, or small?"
"Small. β
Lin Qiu replied casually, he didn't have much research on gambling, and his eyes kept wandering back and forth between the unconscious Erin and Shadow, Erin's brows were tight and her breathing was short, as if she was experiencing a terrible nightmare. Shadow didn't unveil the dice Gu, but talked about another topic: "Today's plan was originally to attract Ophelia, but I didn't expect her to send you here. β
Although he did not support his apprentice's plan, as a master who loved his apprentice, he could not refuse his lovely disciple's request no matter what.
Footsteps sounded, and Lilith and the others were escorted in with embarrassed expressions.
"It seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet - in order to deal with Ophelia, the outer periphery of the Floating Dream Palace is now full of people of spades, and if it weren't for my outpost who happened to meet them recklessly, I'm afraid they would have become the ghosts of spades. β
Ying raised his hand, and the man dressed in black immediately realized.
In fact, ever since Prince Richard entered the Furnace Academy, the people of Spades had become restless - they would nip any possibility in the bud and would never allow the Furnace Academy to be Prince Richard's backing. And the best way to fight the Furnace Academy is to get rid of Ophelia.
"To make sure nothing goes wrong, Spades dispatched three gold-rank royal knights. The people who most wanted Albert to ascend to the throne in the entire imperial capital were neither me nor the nobles, but spades hidden in the shadows, and the style of these people was often assassination. β
When Ying learns that Prince Richard has come to the Floating Dream Palace alone, he can't help but sneer, his arrival undoubtedly provides those killers with a better option than assassinating Ophelia - as long as Prince Richard himself is killed, everything is over.
Lin Qiu suddenly felt a little afraid.
If it weren't for the shadow sentinel who brought Lilith and them back, I'm afraid even Lilith wouldn't have escaped the pursuit of those people. He originally thought that this was just an ordinary rescue operation, but he didn't expect that there were so many forces involved.
Furnace Academy, Sacred Mountain Academy, Floating Dream Palace, and Spades.
Ying seemed to have insight into Lin Qiu's thoughts, and chuckled: "That's right, that little girl named Serena is just the fuse, the moment the Holy Maiden prophesied, it was destined that the old feud between the Holy Mountain and the Wind Furnace would break out one day in the future." And you're just the hapless kid who happened to be involved in this dispute. β
Through the destroyed screen, Lin Qiu saw Andre and the others who had fainted being tied up by the guards and taken upstairs. Lilith also cast a pleading gaze at him, and if the people of Spades found out that Lilith was here, they would go out of their way to hunt her down.
"So, you now have two options. β
Shadow changed his words: "I can hand over those little imps from the Furnace Academy to the people of Spades, and let you get out of here safely, or I may hand you directly over to the people of Spades." β
"So...... What is the price?" Lin Qiu asked.
"You did that kind of thing to my disciple in front of so many people, even if it wasn't your intention, you have to be responsible for it. β
"No problem, I'll write her an apology letter tomorrow. β
Lin Qiu patted his chest and reassured.
Hearing Lin Qiu's tone so lightly, Ying slapped the table suddenly: "Do you think it's so simple?"
"And what do you want?"
Ying's dress was not much different from the underworld bosses he saw before he crossed over, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, shouldn't he be like those bigwigs, who would ask for someone else's finger or arm at every turn, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Qiu's face turned pale.
"Married Irene. β
"What?"
Not only Lin Qiu at this time, but even Lilith and Serena were staring at each other in shock. Lin Qiu stared at Ying Fei's expression for a long time - this old man didn't seem to be joking at all.
Why does this development always feel familiar?
"No, no, no, marriage is child's play, at least you have to ask the opinions of the parties first!"
"It doesn't matter, Erin has always respected me and I'm sure she'll support my decision. β
Where did you run out of feudal landlords!?
Oh, by the way, the world is still under feudal rule, and there is no freedom for girls to marry.
Suddenly, a hint of inspiration crossed Lin Qiu's mind: "Old man, I am from the countryside, my family is very poor, I only raise three donkeys, and I have to go to the back mountains to hunt every day even for dinner, I can't afford to raise this kind of aristocratic lady at all!"
As far as he knew, feudal society, especially the aristocracy, was very particular about the right people, and when they learned that he was a poor boy from the countryside, they would definitely ......
However, Shadow's face remained unchanged, and he replied like a stream: "Only the weak will care about this kind of thing, don't worry, the Kanna family is a famous family in the imperial capital, and all you care about is your future potential......! Even the Knights of the Round Table, I don't think the patriarch of the Kanna family would refuse this family business. β
"Still no, don't hide it, I already have a marriage contract!"
"Why should the eldest husband care about this, which of the nobles in the imperial capital does not have multiple wives?"
"I can't say it, stinky old man!"
Lin Qiu simply refused, he propped his hands on the table, stood up, and tried to increase his momentum with height: "Marriage must be built on the basis of love, how can I have love with someone of her character!"
A wisp of white flame rose up, and Ying also stood up angrily, and he roared angrily: "Then what do you say about Erin, what is wrong with you? She is the eldest daughter of the leading noble family in the imperial capital, and she is also the third seat of the Holy Mountain Academy! Moreover, such an opportunity for a beautiful embryo like her cannot be found in the imperial capital with lanterns...... Aside from a slight penchant for killing, there are no drawbacks at all!"
"That's the biggest drawback! Don't you see your apprentice licking the blood on the dagger, usually only perverts do this!"
"It's not called perverted, it's just that Erin's interests are a little special!"
Lin Qiu quickly dodged the punch thrown by the shadow, and the old man was already so angry that he was fists and kicks. However, he didn't use the nicking force, he just threw a punch.
"Don't indulge your disciples so much, according to my observations, apprentice control generally doesn't end well!"
"Is there anything wrong with loving a disciple?"
The shadow kicked again, and Lin Qiu flashed back, dodging the blow that didn't have much strength again. Lilith looked at the two people chasing after me like a rogue brawl in the market, and suddenly there was an indescribable feeling in her heart. She turned to Richard and felt inexplicably tired: "Is this the leader of the Floating Dream Palace?"
Richard nodded solemnly and said, "He is one of the Templars under my brother's command. β
Unknowingly, the chase battle came to an end, and Kage also found that no matter what he said, this kid didn't get in at all. So he stopped and narrowed his eyes: "So, have you made up your mind not to marry my apprentice?"
Lin Qiu hid behind a huge bonsai and shook his head vigorously: "Say that you won't marry." β
Shadow's face darkened, and purple flames floated on his right fist againβ"Stubborn!
