CHAPTER XX
Seeing that San Theo Lee turned away without saying hello to him, Collins had a look of displeasure on his face. In any case, as one of the "Four Great Knights" in the western part of the continent, he is a celebrity. In addition, Corinth had always looked down on those scholars who were gentle, and San Theo Lee had the impression that he was a man who did not know martial arts, so he was even more resentful. And Corinth, who was standing opposite Vincent, was also amazed, how could the usually humble and polite city lord leave the guests aside and leave them out of the door, which was very different from the usual style of the city lord.
In fact, after meeting Li Yuxuan, the pride of a king that had been hidden in San Theo Lee's body for a long time was induced, so it was unusual. For martial arts, Collins, who can't be compared with himself in terms of strength and strength, naturally has no interest in it, not to mention that he has been attracted by Li Yuxuan's temperament now. It should be said that under the aura of Li Yuxuan, San Theo Lee did not find Corinth on his side at all. It's like you can't find the glowing light in the moonlight. And the realm of Vincent beside San Theo Lee was not much better, and he, like Corinth, was left aside by Li Yuxuan.
But when the two protagonists enter the house, Vincent and Collins have no other way but to follow silently.
From behind, Li Yuxuan and San Theo Lee's figures are both emaciated, but Li Yuxuan, who has experienced nearly two years of hard work and more than half a year of wild life, looks a little strong. As for height, the two of them can be regarded as half a catty and eight taels, regardless of each other. But the most striking thing is that the two of them have waist-length long hair, the difference is that San Theo Lee's hair is tied behind him, and Li Yuxuan is spread out. The two of them are white and black, the white silver is brighter than the snow, and the black is as bright as ink, and the two are very beautiful in comparison.
The four of them sat down. Until this moment, Vincent and Collins' eyes were still on the two protagonists, and Li Yuxuan and San Theo Lee also looked at each other in surprise.
In fact, both of them wanted to see the weaknesses in each other, but it was disappointing that neither Li Yuxuan, the head of the "homeland", nor San Theo Lee, the lord of Boscombe, seemed to find the obvious weaknesses in the other that they were trying to find.
The person in front of him is definitely not simple, whether he has such a friend or has such an enemy, it is a fortunate thing for himself.
The same thought flashed through the minds of the two young leaders almost at the same time.
As a hero or a hero in troubled times, it is obviously lucky to be born in troubled times, and it is not a lucky thing to meet real opponents in such troubled times?
From the moment the two met, it became clear to both parties that the other was very likely to become their opponents. But as a human being, how lucky it is to have an opponent who understands himself/
Both of them are also male lords, and the people around them usually see them like gods. For them, whether it is Li Yuxuan or San Theo Lee, they are the monarchs to whom they are allegiated. They did not dare, and could not treat their monarch as they would ordinary people. In their eyes, monarchs are all high, powerful, and omnipotent.
Perhaps it is precisely because of these that the monarch cannot show their weak side, emotional side, in front of his subordinates, which is definitely a taboo for the monarch.
However, whether it is a monarch or a courtier, or a common man, they are always one person. As long as it is a person, then he must have his own joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows, his own emotions and six desires, his own preferences, and of course, his own dislikes. But since he is in his position, it is destined that the monarch must give up many things, and do not use his own emotions and even reason as the criterion for handling things by himself, and of course, his own likes and dislikes. Interests, for the sake of interests, for the sake of the whole empire, you will not only sacrifice your feelings, but also your principles, and sometimes even yourself.
Therefore, while enjoying supreme power, the monarch also has to be a lonely person.
As such a monarch, such a leader, when you suddenly meet someone who has the same experience and endures the same loneliness one day, you can communicate with each other without even using any words, just with your eyes, which is indeed a happy thing for these "lonely people".
Collins and Vincent, who were sitting down, couldn't figure out what was going on for the time being, but both of them found the excitement and excitement in their "partner's" eyes.
Yes, there has never been such excitement and excitement.
Vincent's family has been a retainer of the San Theo family for three generations, and Vincent can be regarded as San Theo Lee's closest companion since childhood. But all along, San Theo Lee's eyes never seemed to flash with the enthusiasm and impulse that a young person should have. In his eyes, what Vincent saw most was melancholy, a kind of melancholy that went deep into the bone marrow. And in the eyes of others, this melancholy becomes indifference.
Like Woo Lee, San Theo Lee was the only son of his father, and from the day he was born, he was destined to dedicate his life to the family, and fate did not seem to give him any choice. At a very young age, San Theo Lee was very interested in art. But his father thought it was nothing more than a useless thing, and as the future heir of the San Theo family, what San Theo Lee needed was good political strategy, extraordinary martial arts and tactics, and as for art, it was just a waste of time.
Eventually, under the pressure of his father and the persuasion of his mother, San Theo Lee gave up his youthful dream.
From the current position of the San Theo family in the Brympez League, it can be seen that San Theo Lee is a successful family leader, but what about himself?
Vincent didn't know! All he knew was that he had never seen the warm smile of the sun on the face of his childhood friend and current master since San Theo Lee became the lord of Boscombe. But now, he had a very obvious smile on the corner of San Theo Lee's mouth.
Excited, there are still things in this world that can make the "white-haired Shura" Shi Yue excited.
Ever since he met Shi Yue in the Ya'an Kingdom in the southern part of the continent, he never seemed to have seen such excitement in his eyes as he did now. Could it be that the elegant "staff person" opposite has such a great attraction that it can excite the "white-haired Shura", who has always been cold and indifferent.
Collins shifted his gaze away from Li Yuxuan and began to observe San Theo Lee, who was sitting across from Li Yuxuan.
No matter how closely Collins looked at it, San Theo Lee seemed to be an ordinary young man in his eyes, except for his handsome appearance and elegant temperament beyond ordinary people, Collins could not find anything about him that could attract Shi Yue's attention.
Could it be Shi Yue?
Collins shook his head, immediately rejecting his own ridiculous idea. During the days at the stargazing platform, everything that happened between Shi Yue and Wa'er was watched by himself. There is no doubt that Shi Yue must have had an unforgettable emotional experience before, which made him fail to accept Wa'er's feelings. It can be seen from here that Shi Yue is definitely a normal man who can no longer be normal.
Just as Corinth was thinking wildly, messing up his head like a mess, San Theo Lee, the master, spoke and broke the silence first.
"The head of the family left his huge territory alone, and came to the western part of the continent alone, it seems that it must be a very important thing, right?"
San Theo Lee knew very well in his heart that the other party would never tell the truth about such a sensitive issue. He just took the conversation and found a topic for the other party to pick up. Who knew that the other party didn't make any answer at all, sitting in his place without moving, and there was a trace of pain in his eyes. The pain in Li Yuxuan's eyes was fleeting. Although San Theo Lee did not notice the change in the other person's eyes, he clearly felt the subtle change in the other person's emotions. After asking his own question, Li Yuxuan, who was originally excited, fell silent all of a sudden, and he fell silent into a black abyss. Before that, he could clearly capture the other party's thoughts, but just in an instant, Li Yuxuan was like a black cheetah that suddenly disappeared into the jungle, and he could no longer perceive the other party's current mood and attitude.
He is worthy of being the head of the "homeland", and he can control his emotions in such a short period of time and not give the enemy the slightest opportunity.
Judging from Li Yuxuan's "performance" just now, it seems that his question has touched the secret of his heart. But just when he was about to learn more about the emotional changes in the other party's heart, hoping to find out the other party's weaknesses from it, Li Yuxuan quickly calmed down his mind and did not give himself any chance.
San Theo Lee knew very well that the other party had made a "surprise attack" on himself unsuspectingly just now, revealing a flaw. But the other party is definitely not an ordinary person, and like himself, he will never make the same mistake a second time. If you still want to gain something in this area now, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.
"Since the city lord has already understood my identity, presumably the city lord will not invite me for no reason. ”
Before figuring out the other party's purpose, Li Yuxuan would never say anything.
Although this sentence is polite on the surface, it is like a fish bone that is difficult to swallow, and it makes San Theo Lee feel very uncomfortable.
Although Time is also a lord and has a very high status in the Brympez Alliance, it is not the same level at all compared to the power held by the man in front of him. There was a hint of domineering in Li Yuxuan's words, so that he couldn't talk to him calmly like he did with anyone else.
Anyone who hadn't dealt with San Theo Lee would have been incredulous, and with his weak appearance, he had a sharp tongue that many of the old politicians in the league had lost at his hands. He is always able to use his appearance and soft words to make opponents ignore his danger, and once you ignore his danger, it is very easy to make flaws and weaknesses, and the end is predictable.
But now sitting opposite San Theo Lee, Li Yuxuan is like a mountain, stable and strong, and no external force is enough to shake him in the slightest.
Knowing that he could not get anything from the other party, San Theo Lee also wisely changed the angle and method of the conversation.
"Now that the head of the family has come to the western part of the continent, he should have a fairly clear understanding of the current political pattern of the entire western part of the continent!"
Seeing that the other party began to return to the topic, Li Yuxuan's expression also began to focus, but he still did not make any answer, just nodded, which was regarded as agreeing with the other party's statement.
Vincent, who was sitting on the hand, saw Li Yuxuan's self-righteous look, and his heart was already angry, if it weren't for the majesty and domineering emanating from Li Yuxuan's body, he would have rushed up and fought a lot. But he also knew very well in his heart that the man in front of him could not be defeated by his own horseman's courage alone. It should be said that his opponent was St. Theo Lee, the lord of Boscomb City and the leader of the San Theo family, not Vincent.
