Under a translucent milky canvas umbrella in the garden, Zhang Lisheng sat on a chair cushion filled with soft animal fluff, facing the cold and hospitable Yaji, tasting delicious pastries and delicious tea.

"This is a sand cake made of freshly sprouted vanilla ground into powder, stirred in sand date paste and guinea monkey cooked brain oil, and then filtered out of the coarse residue and baked into a sand cake, which is refreshing and refreshing in the mouth, which is most suitable for the taste of a scholar like you, don't you try it?"

"Try, of course, Ms. Yagi, thank you. The young man smiled and took a plate of green cake with a strong mint flavor from the hand of the extremely beautiful owner, and took a bite, and immediately felt that his mouth was full of coldness, and he could not help but sneeze.

"Have you woken up, Your Excellency Li Sheng, it is very rude to talk to a lady absentmindedly. Seeing the stunned and speechless appearance of the black-haired young man, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth and said.

"Oh, I'm sorry Lady Aki, but I did get distracted just now, you know, an undiscovered island of Hell full of strange creatures is an irresistible temptation for a biologist. ”

"Biology," Aki said gracefully, stirring the milk tea in front of her, and said with a poisonous tongue that was very different from her temperament, "Your Excellency, I actually heard a little about you from the bombasy Mr. Luchi before Vitas' caravan set sail.

Forgive me for my confession, it seems to me that the cruel killing of animals that they cannot resist is not a knowledgeable and courageous thing to do. ”

"But in my opinion. For the sake of the progress of human civilization, the sacrifice of some lives is not important at all, let alone cruelty, in order to expose the mysteries of natural evolution, dissecting animals is much more civilized than feeding people to fish..."

The two guests and hosts unconsciously began to argue again, but because they no longer involved practical interests, the atmosphere was not as solemn as in the hotel, but gradually became harmonious.

Standing behind Jaggie, Merina secretly admired her master's clever social methods, and managed to save the vaguely hostile situation with the black-haired youth in such a short period of time, and silently felt sad for the young man, as if she had seen the tragic scene of him falling into the 'trap' in the future.

When Aki's personal maid was thinking cranky. The back door of the mansion in the distance was suddenly pushed open. Several richly dressed young men and women laughed and talked as they walked into the garden.

Thackney followed closely behind them, and the well-groomed and well-mannered butler no longer had the calm attitude of the recent past.

With a faint hint of anger on his face, he walked around the cobblestone main path, walked quickly through a few bushes to Yaji, and whispered succinctly, "Miss Yaji." I have already told Master Roman that you are entertaining an 'important guest' in the little garden. But he's still..."

"It's okay, Mr. Sakny. If I hadn't entertained important guests, Roman wouldn't have been so presumptuous, whether it was for the interests of the business house or the family. In his eyes, none of his 'small calculations' are important. Ya Ji comforted the butler in understanding.

The words seemed to be said casually, but the woman smiled faintly when Sakney showed a heavy and thoughtful expression, and then she stood up and showed a happy expression to the group of young men and women who had already walked closer, "Roman, my dear brother, how did you bring so many good friends home today.

Abigail, Abby, Alai... Welcome to the "Golden Flower Terrier Manor". ”

"Good afternoon, Miss Yaji, your beauty shines brighter than the spring sun...";

"Miss Jackie is so disappointing to see you, for all the flowers are as rough and uninteresting as dead grass in this beautiful garden...";

"Miss Aki—" The men saw Aki's mesmerizing smile and kissed their hands as they uttered heartfelt compliments that wanted to impress their hearts.

The women, on the other hand, hid their hostile gazes, curtsied, and said something like, "Sister Yaji, you have such a good complexion, I really don't understand why you are a few years older than me, but your skin is even more pink than mine..."

There is only one man whose face is somewhat similar to Yaji, and his appearance is also very outstanding, but his eyes are too slender and a little gloomy, and he locks his attention on Zhang Lisheng, who has been drinking tea as if no one was around.

Seeing Zhang Lisheng's short black hair, the man couldn't help but show a trace of disdain, but he tried his best to hold back, bent slightly towards the young man and said, "Hello sir, Roman Mishin greets you. ”

"Hello, Mr. Roman, I'm Zhang Lisheng. Zhang Lisheng noticed that from all kinds of signs, he seemed to be caught in a bloody battle between the wealthy families, he was naturally reluctant to play a supporting role in this mortal farce, and dealt with the man, suddenly stood up and said to Yaji: "Ms. Yaji, don't we still have a deal to do..."

"Of course, Your Excellency Li Sheng. Ya Ji was also trying to find a reason to get out, when she heard the young man's words, she smiled secretly, nodded, and said to the guests: "I really hope to have afternoon tea with you on this sunny afternoon and talk about some interesting stories, but unfortunately as a deacon of the firm, I still have a business to sign, so I can only say goodbye first." ”

Yaji's farewell made the men in the guests show regretful expressions, but they didn't know how to keep it for a while, after all, the people who came were all from wealthy merchant families and knew the truth of competing for business opportunities, and the woman secretly waved at her happily and said: "Oh, that's a pity, I hope that next time we can have the opportunity to drink tea together, and see Sister Yaji again...", as if I was afraid that she would not go fast.

Seeing that his sister was about to break free from his carefully arranged 'net' so easily, Roman secretly gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do for a while, unintentional destruction and unreasonable entanglement were two completely different concepts, and he did not dare to unscrupulously mess around with his status in the family.

In the end, Roman could only watch Yaji and Zhang Lisheng walk away together, and if it was the essence of the roaring gaze, I am afraid that the two of them would have been burned to ashes.

Feeling the burning glare behind him, he walked into the mansion through the back door, and Ya Ji suddenly said, "Your Excellency Li Sheng, you are almost faint in anger than my brother, for which I would like to express my special gratitude." ”

"You're such an honest person, Ms. Yaji," Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a dumb smile: "But there is no need to thank you, I did this for myself, after all, no one likes to have a branch when they are about to achieve their goal." ”

"Yes, then you also made me breathe hard," the woman smiled lightly, and said in a soft tone, "Call me Yaji in the future." ”

"Then you can also call me Li Sheng. "Yaji's kind attitude is Zhang Lisheng's only nemesis, whether it is becoming a 'witch' or turning into a god, the most important factor mixed in the young man's arrogant character has always been 'bullying the hard and afraid of the soft'.

The pressure of a strong enemy may make him retreat for a while, but once he finds a good opportunity, the revenge must be extremely tragic and cruel, and he is shown by others with kindness and sincerity, even if he is not pretended to be a color, but in fact, he will never be hurt unless he has to, and even when it is critical, he will be blessed.

From the subtle change in the young man's tone, Yaki seemed to have some favorable information, and turned to Sackny and ordered, "Steward Sackny, let the maid go and bring a plate of freezing points to the leader of Rumoruchi, and see if he can see the guests?"

"Yes, miss. The housekeeper of the wealthy family, who had already recovered his pretentious demeanor, stepped back and came back after a while to say, "Your Excellency Rumoruch has rested, and he has invited you to meet with His Excellency Li Sheng." ”

"Then let's go, Li Sheng, I wish you good luck in advance. Ya Ji nodded, smiled at Zhang Lisheng on the side, and the two followed behind Sakney, from the stairs of the small living room on the west side of the mansion to the third floor, and came to a heavy huge carved wooden door.

Sixteen samurai armed with long-handled battle axes and swords at their waists stood on either side of the wooden gate, transforming the mansion of the wealthy merchant nobles into a castle used by the lords and nobles to fight.

Ya Ji opened the incense fan in her hand, nodded lightly to the statue-like warriors on both sides, and Zhang Lisheng walked through the wooden door pushed open by the butler one after the other, and walked into a hall with dozens of bright glass windows on three walls, and the sunlight seemed to be abundant.

The grease left over from fine wine and delicious dishes drips together on the bright red cashmere carpet, forming large mottled stains that exude a strange aroma;

All the furniture, whether it was the wooden table with the fine silver candlesticks, or the bed of a beautiful woman lying covered with a transparent light veil and a graceful curve, was a little shorter than the usual style;

The flames of the hundreds of lit braziers hanging from the ceiling have raised the temperature from the cold of spring to the temperature of summer... Looking around the hall, the young man quietly fixed his gaze on a dozen Hellburners in silk robes.

Because he had not seen these humble natives show a proud look in front of him for a long time, he was silent on the surface, but in his heart he felt a little unspeakable strange, at this moment, suddenly heard Ya Ji beside him gently shake the incense fan, towards the only one of the natives to open the screen to the peacock, the leader with six feathers inserted in the head said: "Dear leader Rumoruchi, good afternoon."

I've brought someone who can help you solve your questions...", she pointed to Zhang Lisheng, "A scholar from a distant continent, Your Excellency Zhang Lisheng, who was shipwrecked in a huge island in the Hell Sea, and was revered as a 'wise one' by the most powerful tribe on the island by chance, should be able to tell you a lot of useful information.
