After the First World War of the Zhou Family Manor, the Qianyuan Business Alliance and the wealthy class ushered in a huge shock.

Lost Zhou Ze and Zhou Heqin, and even all the family knights were wiped out, the Zhou family seemed to have no hope of turning around, in order to save the family, the only remaining heir of the Zhou family, Zhou Heqin's second son Zhou Guang, had to immediately succeed the head of the family, and signed a series of agreements on behalf of the Zhou family and the Yao family, selling countless rights and properties.

In contrast, the Yao family no longer exterminated the Zhou family, which is also the consensus and bottom line of all wealthy families in the alliance, no matter how fierce and cruel the competition is, it must be maintained at a certain limit.

Because of this, the Yao family was able to survive the events of that year, at the cost of becoming a second-rate family, completely withdrawing from the Silver Tree Alliance, and staying away from the center of power, and now the feng shui is turning, and the object of decline has become the Zhou family.

All the people who knew the inside story were secretly sighing, the luck of the Black Flame Council and the Yao family was really good, they actually found such a big killer as Lin Lichuan, and finally defeated the Zhou family after more than 20 years, otherwise it would not be so easy to deal with Zhou Ze and Zhou Heqin with only the Black Flame Council and the Yao family.

With the prestige of Lin Lichuan's victory, the Yao family traded with the Zhou family, but in fact, the process of cleaning and annexation went very smoothly, including the other three major elder families, and the wealthy nobles were extremely cooperative, such as the Cardin family and the Gu family even offered to help, thanks to this, the Yao family's power grew at an astonishing speed, and in just half a month, the annexation was basically completed, and the rest was to slowly digest the results.

There was a lot of turmoil outside, and Lin Lichuan, who was the person concerned, stayed quietly in the Yao family's mansion, closed for half a month, studying the ability to blur, and trying to solve the abnormal changes that appeared after the blurring upgrade.

This kind of change was discovered when he was fighting Zhou Heqin, and he was fine when he usually cultivated, but once he entered the combat state, a fierce and tyrannical killing intent would involuntarily emerge in the depths of his heart after the blurring, which continued to affect his reason, although he did not lose his mind, but his emotions were inevitably affected, so that in the end, he did not even leave the whole corpse to Zhou Heqin.

There was no such anomaly when the virtual level was still Lv0, and it didn't appear until it was upgraded to Lv1, Lin Lichuan spent half a month, and finally managed to barely suppress the violent emotions in his heart when he was virtualized, so that it would not affect the battle, but it couldn't be completely eliminated after all.

He guessed that it might be until he upgraded to Lv2 that the vision would really disappear.

"It's no wonder that when it is blurred, it turns into that kind of monster-like appearance. ”

Putting this question behind him for the time being, Lin Lichuan stretched his waist and left the room.

Outside the room, there were people waiting 24 hours a day, and when they saw the most important guest of the head of the house come out, the two servants hurriedly bowed down to say hello, and then one of them turned away and went to inform the steward.

The other respectfully asked, "Does the gentleman need a meal?"

As strong as the Bright Moon knight can't open the valley, at most he can go ten days and half a month without eating, even so, the knight is not an ascetic and pure ascetic, most of the time he has three meals a day like a normal person, Lin Lichuan is naturally no exception, he is reluctant to eat food is one of the greatest enjoyments in life.

"Help me prepare some delicate food, not too much. Lin Lichuan smiled, "I'm sorry for you." ”

"It is my pleasure!" said the servant, flattered, bowing his head more and more respectfully, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

It didn't take long for the housekeeper of the Yao family, who received the news, to hurry over, first to greet Lin Lichuan respectfully, and then to say, "Sir, Miss Ava Cardin of the Cardin family wants to ask to see you. ”

"People from the Cardin family?" Lin Lichuan raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, Miss Ava Cardin has been coming every day for half a month, but you are in retreat, so I haven't been able to see you. ”

Lin Lichuan groaned slightly, and quickly remembered that Adrian had said that he would give him an apology, thinking that the woman named Ava Cardin should be here for this.

The veteran families of the Thousand Courtyards Business Alliance are all wealthy families with a long heritage, and they have a lot of good things, and the value of the gifts specially given by Adrian is definitely not low.

Lin Lichuan smiled slightly and said, "Then let's see her." ”

Ava Cardin was waiting in the front hall at this time, and when Lin Lichuan stepped into the hall, he immediately saw a woman sitting elegantly.

It was a very beautiful woman, dressed in a fine dress like a gown, and she looked about twenty-five or sixteen years old, like a ripe peach, and had a mature and charming alluring style, which made people's eyes shine.

This is a stunner, a natural stunner.

"Your Excellency, Ava Cardin sends you my sincerest greetings. ”

The moment Lin Lichuan stepped into the front hall, Ava got up elegantly and slightly bent her knees to say hello.

"Who are you from Adrian?" Lin Lichuan glanced at her and asked casually.

"I am my father's youngest daughter. A charming smile bloomed on Ava's face.

The two servants guarding the door of the front hall couldn't help but secretly look at Ava, and when they saw the girl's bright smile, they suddenly seemed to lose their minds, revealing a sluggish expression.

Lin Lichuan didn't see it, sat down and went straight to the point: "What did Adrian let you do?"

It seemed that Lin Lichuan's reaction was a little surprised, and Ava paused for a second or two before replying: "The Cardin family had some misunderstandings with Your Excellency before, and almost caused regrets, in order to express my sincere gratitude to Your Excellency, my father specially ordered me to bring a small gift this time to talk about a little heart of our family." ”

When the words fell, Ava's white hands were already holding a delicate wooden box and handing it to Lin Lichuan.

Lin Lichuan was not polite, he directly took it and opened it, and it was indeed a crystal clear meteorite crystal inside.

"The intelligence capabilities of these families are really pervasive, and it seems that everyone now knows that I have a soft spot for meteorite stones and meteorite crystals. He couldn't help but snort secretly.

The color and quality of the meteorite crystal in front of him were a little worse than the one he had traded with Lu Qiu, but it was also a rare high-purity meteorite crystal, Lin Lichuan smiled unceremoniously.

Seeing this, Ava smiled and said softly: "The Cardin family welcomes you to our family at any time, and we will definitely give you the warmest and grandest reception. ”

Lin Lichuan shook his head: "I will leave the Thousand Courtyard Business Alliance soon." ”

This unexpected answer made Ava stunned, and she quickly came back to her senses and said with a charming smile: "Is Sir planning to return to Black Flame Island?" In this case, how about taking the opportunity to visit Silvertree City these days, there are many chic leisure places here, if Sir doesn't mind, I can be your guide." ”

The voice became softer and softer, and even the title was changed.

However, as soon as the words fell, Ava saw Lin Lichuan looking at him with a smile, just an ordinary look, but for some reason she suddenly had a feeling that her thoughts and plans were completely exposed to the other party, as if the whole person had been seen from the inside out, and her expression suddenly froze, and she couldn't speak anymore.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need a guide. ”

The faint words sounded in her ears, Ava forced the panic that suddenly appeared in her heart, smiled reluctantly, but couldn't stay any longer, immediately confessed and left, and walked out of the front hall with a little panic.

Staring at the back of Ava leaving, Lin Lichuan shook his head slightly, in order to make up for the unhappiness between them, the Cardin family also tried their best, not only to send the meteorite crystal, but also to use the beauty trick.

Of course, nine out of ten of them also have the intention of wooing him, but his foundation is in Black Flame Island, and he has no interest in the intricate family relationships within the Thousand Courtyards Business Alliance, so he doesn't want to get involved in it at all.

Coming back to his senses, just as Lin Lichuan was about to absorb the meteorite crystal, the steward of the Yao family ran over again.

"Sir, Miss Gu Yu wants to ask to see you. ”

Lin Lichuan was stunned for a moment.

Is this going one and coming another?
