Chapter 189 Small talk at the dinner table

"Don't worry, don't you finish my words yet~" Xiu Dao smiled and waved his hand, and then said, "Then... Hua'er, well, the task I sent him to escort Rudolph's daughter, Lucy returned to the imperial capital, so they are together now~ Haha~" Xiu Dao quietly winked at Duke Gillipus. Duke Gillipus glared at him angrily, just pretending that he didn't see it.

"So that's how it is," Ling'er suddenly said with longing again, "I wonder if they can still recognize each other when they meet?"

"Mother, you're overthinking~ How old we were at that time? Let's not talk about brother, sister Lucy, I have no impression of him. Besides, the girl has changed so much, he will definitely not recognize her brother." Lian'er shook her head and analyzed.

Ling'er thought again, "That's right~"

"But I'm curious about how they got along?" Lian'er said with a smile with her eyes bent.

"I'm also curious. When Hua'er comes back, I must ask him carefully." Ling'er said with a smile.

"You're thinking too much, not only the two of them, but also the others, such as Lyon's son, are there." Xi Dao took the conversation while holding the dishes and said to Duke Gillipus.

"That person named Li Ao is indeed the son of Lyon." Duke Gillipus looked back at the Taoist practice.

"Lyon? Who is Lyon?" asked Ling'er.

"This, let's talk about it." Xiu Dao glanced at him.

"Lyon, whose full name is Lyon Kane, is Rikon Kane, the younger brother of the contemporary Duke Kane. We were our classmate with his brother before, but I have never seen him again after graduation. I heard that he left the imperial capital. As for where he went, I don't know, but you don't know?" Duke Gillipus's last question was when he looked at the monks, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

"How could I not know!" Xiu Dao accepted Duke Gillipus and gave him a more provocative look. "After graduation, his brother inherited the throne, so he returned to their family's fiefdom and went to seclusion on Lion Island in the fiefdom. He helped his brother deal with various events outside the imperial capital. As for his cultivation, he was not clear, but one thing can be considered, that is, Likong, who had previously had higher cultivation than him, because he had been busy with publicizing official duties for many years, and his cultivation has been at the middle level. After Lyon came out of seclusion, with his help, he has now been promoted to the middle level of the high level." Xiu Dao paused, "I think Lyon's current cultivation is at least at the upper level."

"So it's in seclusion, I

He thought he left the imperial capital because he did not inherit the throne of Duke, but died." Duke Gillipus said after taking a sip of red wine.

"Oh~ Why do I know the opposite?" Jingdao smiled mysteriously.

"On the contrary? You know something, say it quickly." Duke Gillipus urged.

"I want to know~" Xiu Dao spread his hands in front of Duke Geileps and said leisurely. "Then you have to spend money. What our Xiu family opens to do is a business of buying and selling news, and he will never do such a loss-making business. This is a secret matter of the nobles, and it is still from the Duke's family. He can even get a thousand gold coins."

"You are not doing business, you are clearly robbing." Duke Gillips said angrily.

"Oh, father, don't be irritated, just say it quickly." Lian'er said to her father with dissatisfaction.

"Yes, yes, let's talk~" Ling'er said with help.

"Okay, okay, for the sake of Ling'er and Lian'er, I won't charge this anymore," Xiu Dao could not resist everyone's request, and smiled and took his hand back and continued, "As far as I know, the old Duke Kane wanted to give the title to Lyon before he died, and he voluntarily gave up the inheritance of the title of Duke."

"Give up on your own initiative?" Duke Gillipus frowned slightly with his wine glass, but he let go in a short while.

"Did you figure it out?" Xiu Dao asked with a smile when he saw this.

"Well, I figured it out. In terms of qualifications and talent, Lyon is indeed stronger than his brother Likong, and even better than you and me, but his personality is too frivolous. He does everything based on his own preferences and hates being bound by various rules and regulations. It is indeed not suitable for the title of the Kane family." Duke Gillipus said and looked at the Taoist Taoist. "I didn't expect that he was quite self-aware!"

"Self-knowing?" Xiu Dao raised his eyebrows, "In my opinion, he is just willful because he has an older brother!"

Duke Geelyps thought about it and smiled and agreed, "Hahaha, too~"

The monk picked up the teacup and clinked it with Duke Geelyps' red wine glass. The two looked at each other and drank it.

"Father, besides Li Ao, didn't you say there are other people with your younger brother? Who are they?" Lian'er asked.

"Well, there are two more young men, both about the same age as Huaer. One is named Jane Godian, a wandering magician, and the other is named Ryder Hollirke. He has some relationship with the Cathedral of the Imperial Capital of the Church of the Holy Light." Monk replied.

"It's so good!" Lian'er said in her heart with a sweet smile.

"right

Now, how old is Lucy this year?" The Taoist temple suddenly changed the topic.

"The 24th next month is her birthday, and it is also her coming-of-age ceremony." Duke Gillipus replied with a sip of red wine, with a faint bitter smile on his lips.

"Acquaintance? I'm eighteen years old."

"Yes."

"When the invitation is then remember to send me one. Don't worry, I won't come empty-handed." Xiu Dao patted his chest and promised.

"Of course you are indispensable, but I am ugly, and if the gift is light, I won't let you in." Duke Gillips put down his wine glass and his face returned to normal.

"Don't worry, you will definitely be satisfied by the Duke, then." Xiu Dao said to Duke Gillipus with a smile, but this smile looked like a cunning old fox no matter how you looked.

Duke Gillipus was so angry that he was laughed at by the Taoist Scripture, "What are you making wrong ideas?"

"No~" Xiu Dao picked up a piece of vegetable and put it in his mouth, chewing it.

Duke Gillipus said in silence that he had a look of meditation and picked up the wine glass.

"Rudolph, come and eat, don't just drink." Ling'er greeted at the right time.

"good."

I was having dinner and chatting. I don’t know which one of the two monks and Duke Gelips was the first to start, but they even burst out the materials they used to be when they were students. The embarrassing things done in the study era made Linger and Lianer laugh constantly. In the pleasant sound of silver bells, the monk Taoist and Duke Gelips seemed to be back in that era. Both of them had sighs and nostalgia on their faces, and the dinner came to an end in such a "harmonious" and cheerful atmosphere...

After dinner, Duke Geelyps refused the invitation to "drink some more tea" with "I still have business to do" and took Kira to say goodbye. At this moment, Duke Geelyps was sitting in the carriage driving, looking through the window at the outline of the house slowly dimming in his sight, with a smile on his face as if it was not enough to be seen, and he said to himself, "Although the time spent on this trip exceeded expectations, the harvest was also rich... It's not in vain to this trip~"

Xiudao stood under the eaves of the gate of Xiu Mansion and watched Duke Geileps' carriage disappear before turning around and said to Xiuzhen, "Help me move the information I saw in the pavilion to the main hall, and ask Xiuzhen to go there to see me."

"Yes, the head of the family." The repair should be done and left.

"Hey~ The rain has really rained enough today..." Xiu Dao rubbed his hands and raised his head to look at the sky. After standing there for a while, "Let's go." He turned around and walked into Xiu's mansion, and the shadow followed closely behind him.
