Adam stared blankly at the silver metal poster, and under the gesture of Luan Xiang Fengzhu, the two names "Adam Augustine" and "Vanessa Robert" were so prominent.

The metal post was nothing else, it was an invitation to his and Vanessa's wedding, and the Elders agreed to their marriage.

"I thought it was rejected by the bad old men again." There was a rare smile on Adam's face, and the corners of his mouth curled.

No wonder Adam thought so, for before that, he had been dismissed twenty-three times by the Council of Elders. Finally, for the twenty-fourth time, the Council of Elders agreed.

It's just that as one of the protagonists of this upcoming grand wedding, he actually knew it later than the guests attending the wedding.

Adam smiled helplessly, looked down at the time above, April 1, 2121, only half a month before the wedding, the time is really tight enough.

He suddenly couldn't figure it out, after he became the Lord of Thunder and Lightning, the status of the family was greatly improved, and the clan elders rejected his marriage application three times in a row, why did he agree this time? And the agreement came as a surprise and a surprise to him.

Speaking of which, there is also a reason why the wedding is so sudden, after Vanessa agreed to marry him and the Council of Elders rejected his marriage application for the first time, he told Vanessa that he would submit an application to the Council of Elders on the 1st of every month until the Council of Elders agreed.

Twenty-four marriage applications, two full years, his wedding to Vanessa, was dragged on by the clan elders for two years.

Once, after his marriage application was rejected by the Elders' Association, he was in a bad mood and dragged Wells and Aounbab to drink, but he was the first to get drunk with the best amount of alcohol.

This is not the point, after getting drunk, he pointed to the sky and rudely scolded the clan elders: If it weren't for you bad old men, Lao Tzu's marriage would not have dragged on until now, and he still didn't agree after a year and a half, Lao Tzu was annoyed until you agreed, and if you didn't agree, he would annoy you to death, and annoy you to the ground!

But now, he was happy, very happy, but if he wanted to say that he was grateful to the clan elders, it would be difficult for him to spit out half a word, especially his grandfather, who was an old man.

In fact, excluding marriage, their grandfather and grandson don't get along well, but I don't know why, when it comes to this matter, the originally reasonable grandfather is like a changed person, and he is very stubborn.

I don't know what made the old man change his mind, and Adam, who doesn't know the truth, thinks.

In the eyes of people who don't know, they will definitely blame Adam, and Yichen, who learned that the wedding has been delayed for nearly two years, also tactfully accused him: It's not the family that delayed the wedding, it was you who dragged Vanessa.

However, Yichen also expressed his understanding, after all, no one wants the wedding of himself and the person he loves to be unblessed by his relatives and family.

Adam also said that he wanted Vanessa to be recognized by the Augustinian family and get the sincere blessing of the family that gave birth to him, which is probably the reason for his stubbornness.

"Baby student, the painting you sent, the teacher likes it very much, but the amount is a little worse, it does not fit your identity as the young patriarch of the Augustine family, if you can buy another famous painting of Huajia "Busang Niang" to the teacher, it would be great." In the projection, Gorman rubs his hands and interrupts Adam's wandering.

Adam's face was strange, this was the first time someone had disliked the cheapness of his gifts, but when he thought about the insatiable character of his teacher, known as the "miser", everything was normal again.

Gorman, who misread Adam's expression and thought he was unhappy, hurriedly said: "Baby student, don't worry, the teacher is not a stingy person, this time to attend your wedding, the teacher specially took out the treasure at the bottom of the box - the specimen of tortoiseshell peony." The tortoiseshell peony is an extinct rock peony, and there are only three specimens left in the world, two in China and one in the teacher's place. It's a priceless treasure, a specimen that makes a seasoned expert in succulents scream. ”

André pouted disdainfully, but his disdain was not for the specimen, but for Gorman, or rather for Gorman's person.

Although he doesn't know much about flowers and plants, he also knows that the tortoiseshell peony, a cactus plant that has not been extinct for a long time, as Gorman said, there are indeed only three known specimens of the tortoiseshell peony, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city.

Because of this, when he learned that Gorman had given a specimen of a tortoiseshell peony as a gift, he was surprised, when did the miser become so generous? Having climbed to the top of the Augustinian family through the teacher-student relationship, it was completely unnecessary for Gorman to throw money in this way, not to mention that money had long been beyond the concept of material things in Gorman's eyes.

Money is Gorman's life.

After some stalking questioning, Andre got the answer, and Gorman wanted to take advantage of Adam's good mood to ask for another famous painting by Hua Jia, "The Mulberry Girl".

As a master of oil painting who was born and died young, Hua Jia's paintings are pitiful, and each of them is a sought-after famous painting, which is priceless.

Exchanging specimens of tortoiseshell peonies for the more valuable "Bu Sang Niang" was the first step in Gorman's plan to take advantage of the fire and rob the moment he got "Pearl Orchid".

"Mr. Brunie, this specimen is not your treasure at the bottom of the box, is it?" Adam said with a skeptical look.

Facing the scrutiny of the students, Gorman forced a smile: "It's barely enough, and no one has ever said that there can only be one treasure at the bottom of the box, right?" The tortoiseshell peony is very good, and although other things can also be used as congratulatory gifts, the meaning is almost a thing. ”

Andre sneered: "It's like a broken specimen meaning, it's been dead for I don't know how many years, is it possible that you still want it to turn into a butterfly?" ”

"You!" Gorman was furious.

He had already heard of the teacher's cunning, and Adam didn't bother to bother with the rhetoric: "I will have someone send "No Mulberry Girl" to the teacher's house, if the person who collects this painting sells it." ”

"Will sell, will definitely sell, the person who collects the paintings is the owner of a tannery in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, the tannery has recently had problems with the capital chain, he urgently needs money, baby student, you can get the painting at the lowest price." Gorman couldn't wait.

"You guy is too well prepared - the settling of accounts is fine, full of details!" Michael, who was staring wide-eyed, changed his words and gave a thumbs up halfway through speaking.

"Centetto will go, negotiate it depending on his mood." Adam threw the trouble to the secretary, who never bothered about it and didn't care.

"That young man is a calculating master, otherwise he would not have become the second butler of the Augustinian family at such a young age. And that kid likes to use crooked means, and I can already foresee the scene of the boss's tears after the economic problems of the tannery will be magnified by two or three times. Gorman looked sympathetic, as if the tannery's owner were on a plane.

On the surface, he looks sympathetic and pitying, but in his heart, Gorman has already blossomed and made another profit! This precious student, who he worked so hard to win over, has finally become a fat meat that he can slaughter anytime and anywhere!

It's a pity that Gorman has the wrong grasp of human nature, or is not on the same level, and can never penetrate people's hearts, even if he doesn't take out the specimen of tortoiseshell peony, and directly opens his mouth to ask for Hua Jia's "No Mulberry Girl", Adam will agree.

Gorman didn't know that because of this little cleverness, he was mistaken by cleverness, and Centetto was aware of the conspiracy, and finally he got a fake.

Of course, that's all for later.

While chatting here, the other side was not idle, looking down at the dark red ground that was soaked in blood, Yichen said to Lu Xuan who came over: "There were a lot of people who died just now, and those three are also the leaders of the club, so they are too cold-blooded." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced in the direction of Adam, Leigh and the others, projections to be exact.

"People are dying every day in the club, but today is just a little bit more than usual, haven't you gotten used to it?" Lu Xuan looked at him with a strange gaze, "Your three views should no longer have any contact with the normal world from the day you joined the rookie, and you can only contact your relatives and ...... When you love someone. ”

After speaking, Lu Xuan's eyes, who seemed to have touched something, flashed a faint light, and he turned around and walked away.

"Habit." Yichen whispered, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt more and more unfamiliar with this originally familiar word.

"You don't look happy, is it because you didn't get the invitation? The invitation from your Dao Sword Lord has been sent to the Seven Lotus Tower, and now it is in the hands of Director Brown, and he will bring it for you. Ban Shi walked over to this side and said to Yichen, who seemed to be in a daze.

"Yes, wedding, what an important thing." Yichen raised his head and said melancholy, "There is a funeral here, a happy event in another place, is the psychological quality strong or the human nature is cold?" People who are not superstitious should have a cold personality. ”

He didn't mean anything about Adam, it was everyone's performance that made him suddenly feel ......

"When did you become depressed? There's no girl here, who do you want to hook up with? Ban Shi felt uncomfortable with Yichen's expression.

"Are you used to this kind of thing?" Yichen suddenly asked.

"What's the matter?" Ban Shi was stunned.

"Turning the corner and ignoring death."

"Turning the corner and ignoring death." Ban Shi whispered, probably understanding what Yichen meant, and looked up at the sky to comfort him, "I've been used to it for a long time." In the club, people die every day, and if you still deal with these 'important and mundane' things in a normal way - just like the ancient people looked at us, no modern person who does not guard the spirit is a filial son. This is what I read from one of your Chinese books, and the evaluation is quite pertinent. Different eras, races, regions, and even families, and different circles have different cultural value systems, so don't generalize. Isn't there an idiom in China that you say very well? It's called 'following the local customs', and you should learn more. ”

"You interpret the 'paradox' very well." Yichen pouted.

"Paradox? What do you mean? Banshi raised an eyebrow.

"I praise you for being very literate."

"Thank you."

Yichen couldn't help but smile.

Seeing his smile, Ban Shi showed a smug smile: "I'll just say, you just pretended, how can a really depressed person let go of his worries in a few words?" Look how happy you are smiling. ”

Yichen was stunned.
