Lulans returned to his residence early, while Roning was dragged by Bretton to the yard for a fight.

Bretton possesses the two major attributes of thunder and water. Although we don't know how high his affinity is, it can be seen from the fact that he can master the surging thunder within a few days that it should be not low.

During the sparring with his opponent, the lightning would be transmitted to him through the Liuyan Sword, bringing him waves of numbness.

Although Bretton's current thunder power is not enough to affect Ronin, if it were a silver knight with thunder attribute, the paralysis would be stronger and he would need to be on guard.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to defend. You only need to use your own fighting spirit to isolate the opponent's thunder power. There is no need to wear any insulating clothing.

During the half-hour-long competition, Bretton was naturally abused the whole time, but his mood was not affected at all. Instead, he became more and more courageous.

Even after Roning suggested taking a break, Bretton still stood in the yard recalling the process of the competition, summarizing the shortcomings and considering how to deal with them.

"He's really a cultivation maniac."

Roning sighed, took the towel handed to him by Hallward and wiped his face, then motioned for him to follow him out of the yard.

"Holwater, what happened to Diane?"

Luo Ning handed the towel back to the housekeeper, "Why do I feel like she's a little different than before?"

"I don't know what happened to the lady."

Hallward hesitated for a moment, as if considering where to start with this matter.

After a long while, he said, "I only know that Madam has not left her room for two or three days since she came back from Black Python City. After she came out again, her personality seemed to have changed a little."

Luo Ning nodded slowly, wondering in his heart, could it be that Orson blamed Diane for his experience in Wushan Castle? That couldn't be the case. It was Orson who insisted on challenging Lu Lans. If he remembered correctly, Diane had advised him against it.

"If you want to know more, young master, perhaps you can ask the Marquis."

Hallward suggested, "When the lady left for Black Python City, the Marquis looked for her."

Luo Ning's eyes lit up. Could this be Lu Lans's plan?

At the same time, Diane, who had just finished lunch, was taking care of the flowers she planted on the corridor of the courtyard.

After watering the plants, she sat in a chair basking in the sun. Half asleep and half awake, she thought about what happened in Black Python City that day.

As the daughter of Orson, she returned to her former home to visit her seriously injured father, but was avoided by her father and accused by her brother Barrington, the heir of Black Python City.

Luo Ning felt that this was a somewhat outrageous guess, but it was indeed an excuse for Barrington to accuse Diane.

The other party even threatened that they didn't want to be involved in Breton's affairs anymore, and they would not interfere even if Lulans wanted to restore Ronin's inheritance rights.

The argument lasted for a long time, and Diane defended herself for a long time, but to no avail.

In the end, it was her uncle Alan Hyde who stepped forward to separate the two and persuade both sides.

Finally, Aram gave his advice - let Breton marry Kalima.

In this way, Bretton was both the grandson of Earl Orson and the son-in-law of Barrington, so it was more legitimate for him to intervene in the dispute over inheritance rights.

This seemingly good suggestion was like a sword piercing Diane's heart, causing her great pain.

Because before she left, Lu Lans found her and had a talk with her.

In addition to asking her to say "How are you?" to her father, the Marquis also predicted the Hyde family's next move in front of her.

Let Breton marry Kalima and give birth to children. After Lulans dies, kill Wiggins first, then kill Breton, and finally support the baby who may still be in the cradle to become the lord of Wushanling.

After Alan said that, Diane felt tired.

She used to simply think that her father and brother supported Bretton because the latter was their nephew, and the nephew's Wushanling would naturally be beneficial to the Hyde family.

All she had to do was to tell Bretton to practice hard, become strong and not be controlled by others.

But when Lu Lans's guess had the possibility of becoming a reality, she panicked.

She was just an ordinary person who couldn't even beat a fierce dog. She couldn't change anything in front of this group of extraordinary people who fought and killed at will.

But fortunately, she still has a choice.

"It's better to take good care of the flowers."

Diane lay on the bench and fell asleep in the sunshine.

In the afternoon, Wiggins returned to the castle.

After receiving the news, Luo Ning paid a courtesy visit.

However, the other party was discussing the collection and transportation of food and weapons with several officials from Wushan City. He just exchanged a few words with Luo Ning and then continued with his own work.

Seeing Wiggins's focused and busy appearance, he didn't seem too incompetent. Luo Ning also left the other party's study room at the right time. Seeing that the sunset was about to set, he thought about sending a little shock to Lu Lans.

On the mountain path, Lulans called over his Thunder Wind Chaser and rode on its back slowly up the mountain.

When Roning asked about Diane, Lulans did not elaborate, but simply said: "I just let her know her identity. Now she should be my daughter-in-law, Wiggins' wife, and Bretton's mother first, and then Orson's daughter."

Lu Lansi looked down at his grandson who was walking beside him with his head down, and changed the subject: "Do you really have a dragon?"

He always felt that it was unlikely, and he even looked through a few books after lunch. The dragons described in the books were all fictional and could not stand up to scrutiny, and none of them seemed to be real records.

But seeing Luo Ning's serious look, he began to feel nervous again.

Luo Ning's lips curled up slightly. He found the old man's cautious and tentative look a bit funny.

"Of course, Grandpa, you know I am a straight-forward person and I never lie."

Lulans's white beard trembled, "You tell a lot of lies."

Luo Ning touched his conscience and thought: I really never lie unless I have to.

"I traveled to many places when I was young, and I saw many monsters."

Lu Lan Si patted the Thunder Wind Chaser Beast under him and said, "It is said that this guy has the blood of a giant dragon. In addition, there are some flying monsters, such as the dragon eagle, which are also descendants of giant dragons."

He shook his head slightly: "But if you talk about a real dragon, I have never seen one with my own eyes."

"You'll see it soon."

Roning had already called Carlos in his heart in advance. He perceived that the other party was not far away from him, and he would probably arrive here in less than ten minutes after calling.

I think it would be a very appropriate thing to tell Lulans about Carlos's existence.

Next time he comes to Wushanbao, he can land directly on this back mountain without going through so much trouble like this time.

Seeing that Luo Ning was so confident, Lu Lans stopped talking and was already about 70% convinced.

He was not a man who had never seen the world, so there was nothing to be shocked about if he really saw a giant dragon. It was just an extremely rare flying magical beast.

Soon, the two came to an open space on the mountainside.

Lulans turned over and got off his mount, and the Thunder Chaser walked into the exclusive house next to it.

But suddenly, its movements froze, and it turned its head sharply to look up at the sky, letting out a low, uneasy growl.

"Here it comes." Luo Ning reminded.

When Lulans sensed the uneasiness of the contracted monster, he looked up at the sky.

In the dim twilight, a black dot gradually grew larger in the sky. The appearance of the giant dragon had not yet been clearly seen, but a faint sense of oppression enveloped Lulans' heart.

Being well-informed, he knew that this was the pressure from blood, and only a truly high-blooded magical beast could have such an effect on a person.

His eyes flickered, revealing his shock.

"Is this the dragon?" (End of this chapter)
