As if he didn't expect Situ Jin to say this, everyone around the table was slightly stunned, especially Claire, who was stunned for a moment, and then took a deep look at Situ Jin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing that Situ Nan and Situ Baili still wanted to insist, Situ Jin said again: "Father, aunt, I am sincere! To tell the truth, I am wearing many hats now, even if I am asked to be the patriarch, I will not have the strength to take care of the family's affairs! Before, you wanted me to take over this position because my father was very depressed at the time, but now that he has cheered up, who else in the family is more suitable to be the patriarch than my father?"

Originally, Situ Baili wanted to persuade Situ Jin to take over as the patriarch again, but when she heard Situ Jin's words, she pondered for a moment, and then said to Situ Nan: "Brother, what I said is right, you are now recovering well both physically and mentally, since this is the case, you can continue to be the patriarch!"

"Yes, sir!" Although Situ Nan is in good shape now, Claire is afraid that Situ Nan usually has nothing to do, and then she can't think of the previous things to drill with herself, so she agrees with letting Situ Nan continue to be the patriarch, it is much better for a person to have something to do than nothing to do: "Since you are still in the prime of life, don't push everything to the children!"

"Okay!" Hearing everyone's words, Situ Nan nodded, then looked at Situ Jin and said, "Since you don't want to take over this position, then you can only continue to work as a father!"

"Believe me, father, you are the patriarch that everyone else needs!" Situ said seriously.

"That's right!" Situ Baili suddenly spoke: "Now that our clansmen have come to your territory, how are you going to settle everyone?"

"Aunt is referring to the question of where the clansmen will live on the island next!" Situ Jin instantly heard Situ Baili's gorgeous hidden meaning: "Let everyone take a look on the island these days, tell Erwin directly where you like, and then move over!"

"Cousin, can I choose a house on the island?" asked Conio at once.

After speaking, before Situ Jin could speak, Situ Baili reached out and patted his son's head: "Okay, you stinky boy, you haven't married yet, do you want to separate from your mother?"

"No, I'm just asking, mother......" Conio sneered.

Situ Baili glanced at her son and said to Situ Jin: "Sincerely, since you say so, then I will let everyone go out to choose a house by themselves in the past few days, I believe that after hearing this news, everyone will definitely be very happy!"

......

After dinner, Situ wanted to go out for a breath, so he walked out of the castle and walked along the stone road all the way to the lake.

The sun was setting and the lake was sparkling, which made Situ Jin feel emotional, and suddenly remembered that he and Tong Qingyun had also stood side by side beside the lake illuminated by the setting sun in the exotic space of the Continental Academy before, and at that time, he felt that it was the most peaceful and happiest time in his heart.

"Qingyun, are you okay? It's been so long, why haven't you come to me yet?" Situ Jin felt a little melancholy in his heart.

Suddenly, a female voice broke the calm around Situ Jin.

"Duke Sakura!" Serra appeared behind Situ Jin at some point.

Situ Jin turned his head and watched Sierra walk towards him step by step: "Miss Serra?"

"It's beautiful, Lord Duke!" said Serra, with a bright smile on her face.

Frankly speaking, as long as she doesn't compare with the top beauties like Tong Qingyun, Theresia, and Mrs. Lee Kerster, Sierra is definitely a very beautiful girl, no wonder it will swoon Conio fans.

"Yes, the scenery here is indeed a must!" Situ Jin no longer looked at Serra, but looked at the lake, and said lightly.

Looking at Situ Jin's side face, Serra's face was slightly red: "Lord Duke seems to have been distracted just now, is there something on his mind?"

"Nothing. Situ Jin's tone was very flat: "What about Conio?"

"He's been called by Lady Bellley to speak!" Speaking of Stuart Bellly, Sierra said with a little loss in her tone: "I know Lady Bellley doesn't like me, and I don't know what I did wrong to make her so tired of me......."

"Miss Serra, don't think too much!" Situ Jin said, "As long as you get along well with Conio, your aunt will gradually approve of you!"

"I hope so!" Serra nodded, "By the way, Lord Duke, thank you for agreeing to let me come with Conio, I haven't thanked you yet!"

Situ Jin's tone was flat: "You're welcome. ”

Seeing that Situ Jin had been looking at the lake, his tone was quite cold to her, Sera was a little unwilling, she was about to speak again, so she heard Situ Jin say: "Miss Serra, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you here, you can enjoy this beautiful lake scenery yourself!"

After speaking, Situ Jin turned around directly and walked back in the direction he came.

Serra stood in place, looking at Situ Jin's figure as she walked away, her hands clenched unconsciously, and a look of unwillingness to admit defeat flashed in her eyes.

When Stuart returned to the castle, Erwin happened to bring the elven youth that Gareth had captured earlier.

The other party has short blond fluffy hair and a pair of dark blue eyes, although he is a man, his facial features are very delicate, and his skin is also very delicate.

"What's your name?" asked Situ Jin.

From the moment he saw Situ Jin, the elf youth's eyes were full of vigilance and hostility, and when he heard Situ Jin's question, he snorted coldly, turned his head to the side, and did not look at Situ Jin.

Seeing the other party's actions, a smile appeared on Situ Jin's face: "I think on the way here, Erwin should have told you that just this afternoon, your people and the dwarven clan have promised to submit to me!"

"Despicable!" Situ Jin's words fell, and the young man immediately shouted excitedly: "You hateful human beings must have used some shady means to force the people of our two races to submit to you! I know what you are thinking, you just want us to be slaves and pets for you human beings, you are simply demons!"

"Forehead......" When the young man finished shouting in one breath, Situ Jin paused, and then said: "Although you may think that my words are not very credible, I have had a fair conversation with your grandmother and Patriarch Abigail today, and soon you will know when you see your grandmother and ask her!"

After Situ Jin finished speaking, the young man immediately looked at Situ Jin with a vigilant face and said, "How do you know that Michaela is my grandmother?"

Situ Jin smiled: "It was your grandmother and the dwarf patriarch who told me!"

"Damn humans, don't try to lie to me!"
