"Master, don't worry! Senior sister and her friends' car is safe with Bakar here. Master, I don't understand why you came anyway if you didn't want to come!"
"There's no other reason. We just came here to have a drink and then we'll go back. It's harmless to us anyway."
All the important people in the entire Kalonya Territory came to celebrate Lord Duru’s 410th birthday, and some people who had dealings with the Kalonya Territory also arrived early.
"Xingchen, welcome to your father's birthday party. Let me introduce you to my sister Naile and brother-in-law Biden." When Sophia saw Lin Xingchen and others get off the car, she left the others and ran over.
"This must be the Xingchen that Sophia and my father have always praised! I think you are even more outstanding after seeing you in person rather than hearing about you from others." Nale scanned Lin Xingchen up and down with a scrutinizing eye.
"Okay, Naile, the guests are here, so you should welcome them in quickly. Why are you blocking the door? Xingchen, please follow me. I'll take you to your father-in-law. He said a long time ago that you must go to see him when you come." Biden pulled him away enthusiastically and arranged for other people to greet Jia and others.
"To be honest, I was a little unconvinced at first and thought Sophia was exaggerating, but when I saw you in person, I felt that what she said was absolutely right. Men like you are indeed unique in our demon world." Let me introduce myself. I am the young lord of the Aberga territory next to Biden, and also Sophia's brother-in-law. We must have a good chat in the future and don't be estranged.
"I think you may have misunderstood something. I am a man with a wife and children!"
"Which capable and talented man in the demon world is not liked by some girls? As for wives and children, that's not a problem. My father and father-in-law each have more than a dozen wives!" Biden said as a matter of course.
The two walked quickly and soon arrived at the room of the birthday boy Du Lu. Looking at Du Lu lying on the bed, Lin Xingchen just nodded in response to his greeting.
"Biden, you go and greet the guests! I'll take care of it here!"
"Xingchen, please sit wherever you like! You're welcome!"
"Thank you, Lord."
"Xingchen is not from our demon world, right?" Du Lu looked at him and said directly.
"You should have known this a long time ago, so it can't scare me."
“Don’t get me wrong. Although I don’t know how you came to the Demon Realm from the Main World, since you are here, I will not kill you. The people in the Demon Realm don’t have much prejudice against the people in the Main World.
The reason I asked you this is just to confirm, did you come to the demon world by accident or to pursue a higher pursuit?”
"Is there something different here?" Lin Xingchen felt that there was something else behind his words.
"If this was just an accident, then I can only regretfully tell you that your chances of returning are basically zero. If you came to the Demon Realm specifically to pursue a higher realm, then there is naturally a way to return. If possible, I hope you can bring my daughter Sophia with you to the main world."
"Do you think I will agree?"
"It seems that you are the latter. The latter is better. I have only heard about the main world in the classics, and have never seen what kind of scenery it is like.
Let me tell you straight! I know a place where you can quickly become powerful, and I guarantee that no one in the entire demon world knows this place except me! "
"What's the price?"
"It's very simple. If you go back and take my daughter with you, if she doesn't want to go with you, then forget it. If she is willing, please don't refuse. This child has been raised by me since she was a child. I have always neglected to discipline her and she lacks her own judgment on some things.
Just like she clearly only has a crush on you but she can't tell the difference. Fortunately, you are an upright person and have no intention of deceiving her feelings, but I still want to help her. This is just what a father should do. "Dru said with a little sadness.
"You are also a father, so you must understand my mentality! Even if children are ignorant, we adults will still love them as always.
Now my girl is trying to kill you, I am in a dilemma. Firstly, I know that feelings cannot be forced, and secondly, I know that I cannot force you. To put it bluntly, no one in Kalonya can be your opponent. "
“So I was going to make a deal with you, and you weren’t sure when you were going to leave, so you were being nice to me and teaching Sophia.
You are leaving a way out for the five children in your house. Once you leave, at least I will remember your kindness and take good care of them.
Of course, under your guidance, each of them has their own abilities, but except for the little black-haired boy, none of them have experienced the test of life and death."
"The deal between us is very simple. I will ask you to protect them and tell you about the holy land of cultivation. The condition is that you take Sophia with you when you leave!"
"You are indeed a powerful person. I cannot refuse your two conditions. However, I must make it clear that the main world is not as beautiful as you imagined!" Lin Xingchen carefully considered the pros and cons and finally agreed.
"I will be dead by then. I can only hope that Sophia can find someone worthy of her trust!"
"If I really want to leave, I will take her with me, provided that she is willing to leave as you said."
When he returned to the living room, it was already crowded with people. He quietly hid in the corner and watched Sofia and Naile constantly moving in and out of the crowd. This scene reminded him of Avril and Anna who were just like them back then.
"Master Xingchen, right? Why don't you go dancing but stay here?" A slightly mocking voice sounded in Lin Xingchen's ears.
I looked at the person who was talking. He was a tall man in his thirties. If it weren't for the two small horns on his forehead that affected his appearance, he would be considered a handsome guy.
However, Lin Xingchen did not respond to his ridicule. If you confront this kind of person, it will only make him more excited. He is the best means of attack when there is nothing to do.
"How come you're not angry at all when you see Sophia talking and laughing with others? Are you a man?" Lin Xingchen still ignored this guy, but kept looking around.
Sure enough, he saw a group of people in a corner pointing at his position. He guessed that this guy was being plotted against. Although he didn't know who the other party was, he was not someone to be trifled with when being targeted like this.
"You don't need to worry about whether I am a man or not, but I know you are definitely not a man, otherwise you wouldn't be testing me here in every way but just go and tell Du Lu or Sophia that you like her!"
The man's face first turned red and then dark. Lin Xingchen's words touched his most sensitive spot. He really liked Sophia but he didn't have the courage to say it. Today, he heard from several friends that this bastard pharmacist deceived Sophia with sweet words.
He rushed over while still drunk, intending to find an excuse to get this guy to leave Sofia, but he was squeezed out by the other party before he could say a few words.
"Let me tell you one thing, you've been used. I don't have any feelings for Sophia. Those who instigated you to come and cause trouble for me are your biggest enemies!"
"Thank you all relatives and friends for coming to my father's birthday party. I would like to thank you all for coming here and being so kind to my father, the birthday boy today!" Amidst warm applause, Du Lu was carried out in a soft bag by two servants.
After receiving blessings and gifts from everyone, Tru slowly stood up and said, "Thank you all for coming to my birthday party. I feel like this is my last birthday. I have a few announcements to make here."
"The first is that I will officially appoint my daughter Sophia as the heir of Kalonya. She will inherit my position after my death! The second thing is that my nephew Galen will take over a special position to assist Sophia!"
"And the third thing is also the most important thing. My daughter, the most beautiful pearl of our Kalonya, already has someone she loves. I have already talked to him and he will protect Sophia for me in the days to come."
"Although he doesn't have much fame yet, I believe in his talent. It won't be long before he becomes well-known among the demon world!"
"My Lord, you have always been the person I respect the most, but I think the decision you made this time was a bit too arbitrary! Although the foreign pharmacist is indeed capable, I heard that he already has a wife and children. How can a man who abandons his wife and children be worthy of the most beautiful pearl of our Kalonya?" A man who was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old walked out in everyone's surprised eyes.
Du Lu looked at the person who said he was confused and smiled: "It's Little John! You said there is something wrong with my arrangement, then who do you think I should entrust Sophia to? Is it you?"
“Your Excellency, although I also like Miss Sophia, I know that Douglas’s love for Sophia has reached a crazy level. He often says that he would even be willing to die immediately if he could marry Sophia!
Isn't such a strong love worthy of your respect, Lord?"
"Tsk tsk tsk... It seems that your grandfather still has a lot to teach you. Little John, you must understand that no matter how much you plan, you still need strength to get it. I am very happy that you can come to my birthday party, but please be less calculating, otherwise I don't mind waiting for your grandfather to teach you what the rules are!"
"As for the Douglas you just mentioned, it's not that I don't think highly of him. He was once my favorite candidate, but he lacks even the most basic courage. He may be very talented, but Sophia's husband must be someone who can stand up and support her at any time."
