Chapter 518: Fire and Water Cannot Compatible
Lianyi said goodbye to Rodman and met Emilio on the way back to her residence. He was walking with Leia in the garden. When he saw Lianyi, his eyes flashed and he smiled and said:
"Lian, did you go to see your father just now?"
"Well, my father told me what I need to pay attention to when I go out for training, and asked me to leave as soon as possible."
"Father cares about you."
"Of course, this is my first time traveling far away."
Lianyi practiced Tai Chi with the other party, said meaningless words, and also showed off the fact that she was favored.
Emilio's eyes flickered, and the smile on his face faded a little. He asked casually:
"Just now I saw the heads of the five families, Heni, Soya, Lati, Senluo, and Dilan, leave. I heard from the housekeeper that they came to see you."
"Yes, their son is missing, and they came to ask me if I've seen him. Unfortunately, I didn't even leave the house that day, so how could I meet them?"
Lian Yi spread his hands.
"Missing? You didn't go out that day?"
"Yes, she disappeared! That day happened to be Leia's first day here. In order to meet the distinguished guest, my father sent someone to inform me early. I definitely would not go out."
Lianyi smiled faintly, and looked at Emilio with her purple eyes, which contained a different kind of deep meaning.
Emilio blinked the same purple eyes, and although there was a smile on his face, the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Lian, have you made a breakthrough?"
The ignored Leia suddenly interrupted their conversation and asked with a smile.
"Well, I've broken through to the Bronze Knight. This way I'll have a better chance of going out for training. We can set off tomorrow!
It's a pity that Emilio has to stay in Lava City to help his father, otherwise he would have accompanied us and I believe this journey would have been even more exciting."
Lianyi said with a double meaning.
"It's a pity indeed. How about I ask Uncle Rodman to let Brother Emilio train with us?"
Leia said with a smile.
"Leya, Lian, I'm sorry! Although I want to go with you, as your brother, I think it's better for you to complete this experience independently. If I follow you, you will become dependent on me and will not be able to break through your own limits. This is what I don't want to see."
Emilio said seriously, fearing that Leia would really go to find her father.
"Okay! Listen to Big Brother."
Leia was a little frustrated, but this reason convinced her. Her major was a magician, and she really needed to be honed. She chose Lian because his knight level had reached the intermediate level and his fighting power was enough to complete their trial.
Lianyi said that on purpose to disgust Emilio. He has been trying to show off his presence in front of Leia all the time, so why not do it to the fullest and see how it feels to shoot himself in the foot.
Moreover, Lianyi was very certain that after he left, Emilio would definitely start to establish his identity as the heir, and then show up more often in the city of Lava, and even try to win the favor of his father, so as to downplay his existence as the youngest son of the Rodman family in the three years when he was away, and pave the way for himself to become the heir.
If possible, he would secretly bribe some people to eliminate him completely. After all, a dead competitor for the heir is the least threatening.
Lianyi guessed that if Zilian hadn't had her help in her previous life, she would have most likely died in the Dark Forest, and there would have been no current trial. But now that it existed, Emilio would definitely have other arrangements.
The direction of the matter was almost exactly as Lianyi had guessed. After returning to his palace, Emilio frowned in front of his confidant and said coldly:
"That little bastard Lian actually wanted to plot against me! Damn it! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have stayed away from Lava City for so many years, and I wouldn't have lost my position as the only heir."
His confidant was matched by the Kenny family. After hearing Emilio's words, he immediately said:
"Master, in my heart, you are the only heir of the Rodman family. He is a minor and doesn't even have a phantom beast. What can he use to compete with you? At most, he is just being tough with words. You don't need to take it to heart."
"I know! It's a pity that those guys didn't kill Lian, but disappeared instead!"
Emilio said with some regret.
"Master, since this matter has already passed, we should not interfere anymore. When the five families came today, I heard that the patriarch was also there. Since the patriarch knows about it, even if the disappearance of those people is related to Lian, he will help cover it up. We can't let the patriarch find out that we are involved."
The confidant was very responsible and smart, and immediately gave a reminder.
"I know. I just want to ask you, have you dealt with all the follow-up matters? Don't involve us."
"Don't worry, Master. It won't happen."
"That's good! Once they leave Rava City, we'll arrange for someone to follow them, and when the time is right, we'll take action as soon as possible."
Emilio said calmly, he didn't want to wait even a moment longer.
"Master, this is exactly what I want to tell you. The people I'm looking for are lying in ambush in the East Continent. It's best if we don't take action in the West Continent."
The confidant immediately lowered his voice and explained.
"Are you afraid that your father will find out?"
Emilio was not stupid and immediately understood the meaning of his confidant's words.
"Yes, Master! The Western Continent is the territory of the Rodman Family. Whether we contact helpers or those desperate criminals take action, the family will find out sooner or later. Those people will not keep secrets for us, so for safety reasons, it is best to take action in the Eastern Continent.
That place is not the Rodman family's territory. Even if something happens to Lian, the Rodman family can't reach out to her, and the Dongfang family in the East Continent won't allow it. This gives us room to operate."
The confidant analyzed it carefully for Emilio.
"But how can you be sure that Lian will go to the East Continent?"
"Master, you forgot that his biological mother is from the Lotus family of the East Continent. He has never been to his maternal grandparents' home since he was a child, so he will definitely go to the East Continent. If you want to be more sure, you have to ask Leia to mention it a few more times."
"I understand! Even though it will take some time, as long as we can ensure that everything is foolproof, it will be fine."
"Yes, Master! What we want now is stability, and then gradually let the head of the family recognize you. After Lian leaves, I will help you build a good reputation as soon as possible, and gain everyone's recognition step by step."
"I understand. Everything will proceed according to the plan. We just need to kill Lian before he turns eighteen! I will never let him form a bond with a fantasy beast."
The next day, Lian Yi and Leia each brought a follower and a silver-armored horse, and under the watchful eyes of Rodman, they left Lava City and began their own training.
Leia had just said goodbye to Emilio and felt a little reluctant, but she was still looking forward to being able to leave her parents' sight and go out to gain experience.
"Lian, where are we now?"
"The closest city to Rava is Ciye, which is similar to Rava and not very interesting. Let's go to Ang Town and take a look!"
"I've heard of Angger Town. It's the town with the most potions in the Western Continent. Eighty percent of the residents there are pharmacists. Do you want to go there to replenish some potions?"
My dears, I'm stuck today, but there's still time before 10 o'clock.
