Chapter 159: Please Don't Do This
Mogg didn't care what Xu Shuo said, he straightened up and glanced out the window.
"So, it's almost time for lunch, what does the eldest lady want to eat? I'll go get the kitchen ready. β
Lilian looked at Xu Shuo, "Does Mr. Xu Shuo have anything you want to eat?" β
"I'm ......" Xu Shuo paused, remembering the purpose of his visit to the study, and said, "I'm leaving." β
Lilian blinked, stunned for a few seconds as if she couldn't react, before asking, "Go?" Mr. Xu Shuo, where are you going? β
"Chase the Duchy." Xu Shuo replied.
"Now?!"
"Well, let's leave today."
Looking at Lilian's eyes full of reluctance, Xu Shuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Uh, maybe I can have lunch and then leave?" β
"Why?" Lilian looked completely panicked, she took two steps closer, her eyes fixed on Xu Shuo, "I mean, you don't have to be in such a hurry, right?" Isn't Rakshasa already dead? β
"It's because you're dead, so if you don't run away quickly...... Ahaha, that, to leave before the next wave of pursuers arrives...... Do you understand? Xu Shuo said with a haha, "Moreover, I am an adventurer, even if these things don't happen, I will have to wander around." β
"Then I...... This? β
"Huh? Ah, Liliam, you should be fine, you didn't cause the death of the rakshasa, your hateful uncle seems to be dead too, and the black turban thief should have no reason to trouble you again. β
"I didn't mean this ......"
"That's?"
Lilian looked at Xu Shuo, who didn't seem to understand her mind at all, her eyes dimmed a little, and after a moment of silence, she shook her head and showed a somewhat stiff smile.
"It's nothing, it's just that Mr. Xu Shuo helped me so much, and I haven't had time to thank me properly, so I'm a little ashamed." Lilian turned to Mogg and said, "Mr. Mogg, please prepare a sumptuous lunch for lunch today, and let's make a meal for Mr. Xu Shuo." β
"Understood." Mogg bowed.
Xu Shuo saw Lilian's appearance, a little reluctant, and hurriedly said, "Well, don't ...... it deliberately"
"I'm tired, go back to the room to change clothes first, and Mr. Xu Shuo will see you later." Without waiting for Xu Shuo to finish speaking, Lilian walked out of the study with her head down.
Mogg glanced at Xu Shuo, shook his head slightly, and walked away.
Xu Shuo was the only one left in the study, and he suddenly became deserted.
Xu Shuo put his hands in his trouser pockets and let out a sigh.
Then I'...... This?
When Lilian said this sentence with an expression that wanted to cry, Xu Shuo understood this sentence almost instantly, and the meaning behind this sentence. It's just that at the moment of understanding, Xu Shuo immediately hid this meaning in the deepest part of his heart, and tried his best to interpret it into another meaning.
In the end, everyone will feel a little betterβor rather, Xu Shuo himself will feel a little better.
In fact, before coming here, Xu Shuo didn't think about inviting Lilian to go with him, but when he saw Lilian's promise to the merchants to ensure that the family business continued smoothly, he changed his mind, because he saw Lilian's determination to protect the family and protect this manor left by his dear father.
And if you think about it, the end of his journey is to defeat the Demon King, which is not a joke, and it must be dangerous.
After weighing left and right, Xu Shuo still decided to leave by himself, leaving Lilian behind, along with the latter's wishes.
"Although I said that I would accompany her until everything is resolved, it seems that I have to break my promise now......
Xu Shuo sighed again, and secretly decided that as compensation, he would get rid of Reagan and Bron before leaving, two guys who were a potential threat to Lilian.
In a silent way, let them disappear.
When Xu Shuo returned to his room, he found Miao Zhen, the boss and his wife, and Tina waiting inside.
Seeing Xu Shuo coming back, Tina was the first to come over.
"You come out, I have something to say to you."
Tina pulled Xu Shuo's clothes, pulled Xu Shuo to the corridor, and closed the door behind her with her backhand.
"What's wrong?" Xu Shuo was a little frightened by Tina's menacing appearance.
"There's one thing you must promise me." Tina said in a low voice.
"What's the matter?"
"Miao Zhen didn't want to go with the boss, she had to go to her biological parents, and she didn't let the boss follow, and now things are very troublesome!"
Tina frowned, it seemed that she was worried about Miao.
When Xu Shuo heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Didn't I say at the dinner table before, I was just going to chase the Lu Principality, anyway, by the way, I can take her there." β
"You're embarrassed to say that she's thinking about you now, don't say that when you go in!" Tina pointed at Xu Shuo and said quite toughly.
"Why?" Xu Shuo was a little confused, "You have known Miao Zhen longer than me, so you should also know that if she determines something, it is useless to stop it, right?" If you don't know it, you'll run back to the black street alone. β
"Well, that's why I have a headache." Tina raised her forehead and said, "You help us persuade her, she may listen to what you say." β
"I refused, she just wanted to go to her parents, and I had no reason to persuade her not to go." Xu Shuo said.
"I said you, have you thought about the consequences before doing things?" Tina looked a little angry, "Have you ever wondered what you would do if you got there and found that her parents were no longer there, or that her parents didn't want to recognize her, and you still had to keep her with you?" Let her run around with you? Or do you have what it takes to send her back? You're on the run for your life, aren't you? β
Killing a series of questions, Xu Shuo was speechless, he really didn't think about these questions, indeed, after arriving over there, he would have to leave with the people of the Luoda Empire and the Grace Church, if Miao Zhen's parents are not there or do not accept her, then Miao Zhen will be a little troublesome, and he can't let Miao Zhen come back alone, it's too dangerous.
"Uh...... I want to think about it...... If I can't find her parents when I get there, I'll pay some adventurers to send her back? Xu Shuo tried to suggest.
"Clams? The adventurers are a group of big men, and if you ask them to escort a little girl, what should those people do on the way?! Tina seconds objected.
"That and that......"
Just when Xu Shuo couldn't answer, the door behind him squeaked, and the two turned around and saw Miao Zhen poking his head out from behind the door, pouting and looking at Tina.
Tina suddenly lost her momentum just now, revealing a weak expression.
"That, Miu Zhen......" Tina just wanted to explain
"Sister Tina, please don't do this."
"Miao Zhen ......"
"Please don't do that."
Tina glared at Xu Shuo and stopped talking.
