C102 Sophie's Request

When he walked out of the weapon shop, Lee Xiang had to give Sophie a very good evaluation. This woman was not only beautiful, but also very smart. It could be said that she was a combination of beauty and wisdom. This couldn't help but make Lee Xiang sigh inwardly. It seemed like the heavens were too biased towards her. Power, beauty, wisdom, status and family. She seemed to have everything a happy woman should have. And it's much better than you think.

Lee Xiang had just made a new discovery in their collection of weapons in the backyard. To be honest, he still did not see what he wanted to see. According to Sophie's introduction, The weapon samples placed here were definitely the most advanced in the continent so far. This made Lee Xiang very disappointed. At the same time, he could not help but sigh. It seemed that the research on weapons in this world was completely different from their intelligence. Lee Xiang didn't expect them to be able to develop anything shocking, but at least they had to have something that they could take out, right? It was a pity. What he saw was just that it was different from the formulas of the weapons placed in front of him. In other words, the weapons that were stored in the back were, strictly speaking, the improved versions. In terms of lifespan, or in terms of toughness, they were better than the previous ones. There was no difference in anything else.

In the end, Lee Xiang had to come to a conclusion. Perhaps it was because there had been no large-scale battles in this continent for a long time, which caused them to stop developing their weapons. Of course, even though Lee Xiang was disappointed, there was also a hint of pride in his heart. Perhaps the improvement and maintenance of weapons would have to wait for him to do it. This might not be a bad thing.

Sophie could clearly see Lee Xiang's disappointment. However, she did not say anything. She only told him that if he was interested, he could directly talk to her weapon maker. After all, she did not know much.

Sophie originally wanted the guards to give a horse to Lee Xiang, but Lee Xiang's horsemanship was really shameful. After all, he did not have much free time. In the end, they had no choice but to walk towards Sophie's courtyard in Silo Province.

Sophie's residence was completely out of Lee Xiang's expectation. He originally thought that it would be very flashy, but in the end, it was not like what he imagined. Not only did it not have the scene of the richest merchant in the continent, it even made people feel a little shabby at first glance. This could not help but make Lee Xiang's favorable impression of her rise.

After entering the mansion, Lee Xiang discovered that there were many times when there was a huge difference between the outside and the inside. The luxurious interior of Sophie's seemingly inconspicuous mansion was out of his expectations. At the same time, it also made him completely throw away the last bit of doubt he had towards Sophie. Because at this moment, all the servants that appeared in Lee Xiang's eyes were actually all Lower Race. Black people, yellow people, brown people, and white men were the minority. This had absolutely subverted Lee Xiang's previous thoughts. One could see the entire leopard just by looking at it. From this, it could be seen that Sophie was indeed different from the arrogant white people he had seen in the past. This made him start to look down on this charming Mrs. Sophie again.

Lee Xiang noticed that even Ao Guang and his brother, who had their faces tensed up, could not help but show an approving expression.

"What's wrong?" He looked at Lee Xiang, who was a little absent-minded. Sophie smiled. "Are you surprised?"

Lee Xiang sighed slightly. "If everyone in the continent can be like my wife, I think this world will be a very harmonious world!"

Ao Guang nodded his head, obviously agreeing with Lee Xiang's point of view.

"Is that so?" Sophie asked with great interest. "Actually, I did not think so much. I just feel that compared to those white people, Then why didn't I use a little bit of my own strength to help them? You don't have to think too much about me. Actually, I'm no different from other people, I just did something unbelievable to others. . . Look, Even you yourself feel that it's unbelievable, right?"

Sophie's clever answer did not surprise Lee Xiang in the slightest. He only smiled and nodded his head.

Sophie waved her hand and a few guards hurriedly walked over.

"Bring Master's two friends to the courtyard and greet them properly!" Sophie looked at Ao Guang and his brother. "I have some private matters that I want to ask Master for guidance. The two of you should not mind, right?"

Ao Guang and his brother were slightly stunned. They were supposed to be responsible for Lee Xiang's safety, but Sophie's attitude made them unable to refuse. The most terrible thing was that such a beauty was still talking to them in a negotiable tone, which made them feel very awkward. In the end, they could only look at Lee Xiang.

Lee Xiang nodded indifferently. It seemed like Sophie really had something to tell him.

Immediately, Ao Guang and Sophie walked in another direction under the lead of the guards.

When they completely disappeared from his sight, Lee Xiang turned his head and was about to ask when Sophie smiled and shook her head. "Let's go into the living room first. "

Sophie really did not lie to Lee Xiang. The food and drinks had already been prepared in the living room. It was obvious that Sophie wanted to invite Lee Xiang over today.

Under Sophie's instructions, Li wanted to do it above the left head.

"It seems that the master did not completely let go?" Sophie looked at Lee Xiang and smiled faintly. "Well, I admit that I have been following you since you walked on the street. Of course, I have a purpose for doing this!"

Lee Xiang nodded and did not respond. He looked at Sophie and waited for her to speak.

"Although Catherine and I have not known each other for a long time, our relationship is very good. Moreover, we can talk about almost anything, so regarding your matter, As long as she knows about it, I basically know everything!" Sophie continued. "When I came here, Catherine had been begging me, hoping that I could help you. She knew that you might be in a difficult situation here. In fact, when I followed behind you, I did feel that you were very depressed. . . Oh right, I actually came with Holy Maiden from the church this time!"

" What does Madam want to say? Please say it directly. " Lee Xiang frowned slightly. For a moment, he could not grasp what he wanted to say.

"My meaning is very simple. I have a relationship with Catherine. It is just like your relationship with Catherine. So you do not need to worry too much about your heart. I also know that it is a very difficult thing for someone like you to experience it, but strictly speaking, this world is not as complicated as you think it is. Although the relationship between people is complicated, It may not be that everyone's relationship is like this. . . Sir, do you understand what I mean?"

Sophie's words made Lee Xiang slightly confused. He immediately understood that she seemed to be trying to enlighten him. This not only made Lee Xiang very curious.

"Catherine asked me to tell you something. . . " Sophie did not pay attention to Lee Xiang's reaction. "As long as you are happy!"

Lee Xiang was stunned again. With his understanding of Catherine, She definitely could not think of such words. She also did not think that she would have so many experiences coming here. Obviously, this was not what Catherine said. Then who could it be? It was naturally impossible for Walker. It was even more impossible for the earl's mother. After all, she believed that his father, Duke Ronton, would treat her very well. In that case, this was probably what Mrs. Sophie wanted to say to him. She just wanted to borrow Catherine to guide him. Thinking of this, he could not help but be shocked. It seemed that he had underestimated this Mrs. Sophie. She was actually so meticulous, just the recent events in Silo Province. He immediately guessed his current situation. Such a woman was truly a pity. No wonder she was able to control the entire family. There was indeed a reason for it.

Thinking of this, Lee Xiang smiled bitterly. "Thank you for your good intentions, Madam. I also want to be happy, but there are many things that are not up to me. The tree wants peace, but the wind will not stop!"

Sophie smiled and nodded. "Why don't you learn how to play the zither and raise flowers in the Imperial Capital? That kind of comfortable life, Sophie might not be able to get it even if she wanted to! If you don't mind, I can leave a quiet place for you. . . "

"If there is such an opportunity, I would be very willing to give it a try. Unfortunately, it seems to be a little late now!" Lee Xiang smiled faintly. It was not that he rejected Sophie, but it was indeed a little late. Even if he threw away Baron's identity at this moment, Perhaps there were still many people who weren't willing to accept it. His fate was destined to be the same ever since he stepped into the Silo Province. It was destined that he would walk away from such a life step by step. And most importantly, he had no reason to give up such an opportunity. But to be honest, he could still feel Sophie's sincerity, so he was very grateful. He immediately picked up the wine pot and poured Sophie a cup of wine in a gentlemanly manner.

"Thank you for Madam's hospitality. No matter what, Madam is the first woman that made me feel a kind of warmth other than Catherine!" Lee Xiang raised his wine glass and downed it in one gulp.

Sophie did not drink up the wine directly and only tasted it lightly. She naturally heard Lee Xiang rejecting her good intentions just now. After thinking about it carefully, It was indeed as Lee Xiang had said. To be honest, she had been very interested since the first time she heard Catherine talk about Lee Xiang, especially after hearing the sound of the zither that day. She was even more curious. After learning that Lee Xiang had been adopted by Duke Ronton, With her connections in the Imperial Capital and her natural intelligence, she could immediately guess what had happened. And the series of events that had happened in Silo Province recently confirmed his thoughts. It was just as Catherine had said. Her brother was really a smart person. Of course, the reason why she reminded Lee Xiang like this was. . . It was not because she wanted to do anything to Lee Xiang, but because she felt that a man who had just become an adult. . . She could not bear to shoulder so many burdens, because that was how she had walked over. And the situation at that time seemed to be even more difficult than his. Although the situation they faced was different, their encounter was basically the same. So, due to the same illness, She wanted to help him. Of course, Catherine was also one of the reasons. The most important thing was. . . For so many years, their family had always had the habit of helping Lower Race.

Due to the various factors above, it was naturally understandable that she wanted to help Lee Xiang.

"Since that's the case, then I won't force it!" Sophie smiled. "Alright, let's get down to business. "

Lee Xiang was still reminiscing about the wine just now, because he felt that the wine should have been brewed by the same person as the wine he had at the winery. Just when he wanted to ask, when he heard Sophie say this, his face immediately turned serious. "Madam, please speak!"

"If I remember correctly, Catherine once told me that you promised to pass on your wonderful zither skills to my daughter?"

Sophie's sudden change of topic made Lee Xiang slightly uncomfortable. That's right, he had indeed promised Catherine this matter.

After thinking for a moment, it was likely that this person was her. Immediately, he nodded his head, "I did agree. However, I remember Sister Catherine telling me that your daughter is not even three years old and that she is a little early. I do not advocate early education. This is not good for the development of the child! "

Sophie smiled and nodded, "Actually, I also have the same thought. But ever since I heard your wonderful music that day, I never thought that there would be such pleasant music in this world. It seems to be the sound of nature. . . Sigh, I can't wait any longer. So instead of saying that I'm inviting you to be my daughter's teacher, I might as well directly invite you to be my teacher. . . It's just that I want to learn it myself!"

Lee Xiang was slightly stunned, then he smiled. "Madam can naturally learn it, but first I have to make it clear that this is very difficult. . . "

"So you have agreed?" Sophie was overjoyed. Her face actually revealed a surprise like that of a little girl and even a little bit of shyness.

"Of course!"

"That's great. I have another request!" Sophie seemed a little greedy, but to be honest, Lee Xiang was in a good mood today. So he nodded happily and said, "What request?"

"I once heard from Princess Louise that the lover flower that you personally raised was full of thorns. I don't know if you can teach me. . . "

Lee Xiang was amused. After all, she was still a woman. She had always been fond of these things.

"Of course you can. It's just that you have to maintain such a big family business. Will there be no time?" Lee Xiang asked back.

"You don't have to worry about this teacher. . . " Sophie was obviously in a good mood. She even removed the form of address and honorifics. . . . "I naturally have my own way. If I were to do everything myself, I'm afraid that even if I had the cloning technique, I wouldn't be able to handle it!"

Lee Xiang smiled and nodded. That was indeed the reason!

"When will we start? Do I need to make a zither like yours?"

"It will take at least half a year to make a zither like this. . . " Lee Xiang patted his forehead. "That's why I'm afraid Madam won't be able to wait any longer. How about this, tomorrow I will give my zither to Madam. Take it as a meeting gift for Madam. As for when it will start. . . It will depend on Madam's arrangements. I am an idle person. I have time at any time!" The reason why Lee Xiang agreed so readily was also because he had an idea at the last minute. This way, he could temporarily avoid this storm of conscription, so as to avoid Ronton thinking too much about him.

"Great. . . " Sophie excitedly clapped her hands and stood up. She picked up the wine pot and gently walked to Lee Xiang's side. "Then I will thank master first!"

No matter what, being able to befriend such a woman was more or less useful to her. Immediately, she picked up the wine glass and downed it in one gulp.

"Good wine! But why do I feel like the wine here has something to do with someone I've met before?" Lee Xiang casually put down the wine cup and looked towards Sophie's soul-stealing beautiful eyes.
