C107 The Rain Is Coming

The old man on the other side had already started nodding his head. Even Shaun had a thoughtful expression on his face. Smith, on the other hand, had a carefree expression on his face. Ronton frowned slightly, then said to Lee Xiang in a deep voice, "Nonsense. How can you say such things in front of the two deans? Apologize to the two deans now!"

Lee Xiang couldn't help but laugh. After he finished singing, his face turned pale. It was time for him to sing 'red face'. Immediately, he took two steps forward and looked at the two directors of the Magic And Martial Academy. "I'm sorry, he said. I lost my composure just now, but my starting point is good. After all, it would not be good for the reputation of the Magic Academy if this went on for a long time. It might even attract some unnecessary suspicion, don't you two agree? "

" That's right. "Shaun, who had been silent all this time, took a deep look at Lee Xiang and laughed. "What Lee Xiang said is very reasonable. After all, if this goes on, it will not be good for Magic And Martial Academy. It might even implicate the Magic Union and the Knight Association. The two chairmen still need to think about it. Sincerity is not what they should listen to!"

Although Shaun was the most unlikely person to become the king among the princes, he was still a prince. His words represented the royal family. The two chairmen could not help but think deeply about it.

The farce ended just like that. Initially, the two of them had never thought of doing anything to Lee Xiang. After all, there was still Duke Ronton at the back. Naturally, they changed the topic at this moment. Furthermore, Lee Xiang had apologized in the end. This was also a good opportunity for them to step down from the stage.

Ronton stood up and looked at them. He cleared his throat and turned to Shaun. "Your Highness, I think General Richie and a few of my subordinates should be in the meeting room. Why don't we go there?"

Shaun nodded. Lee Xiang was a little surprised. Immediately, he recalled that there was indeed something important that was going to happen today.

If his guess was correct, this so-called General Richie should be one of the commanders of the empire's army stationed in Silo Province. Since even the commander of the garrison had come in person and so many people had suddenly gathered in Duke's Mansion, it was obvious that they were here to solve the problem of the riot that had not been resolved for a long time.

At the same time, this made Li think of another problem. Shaun's arrival this time might be the representative of the royal family who had come to assist or to guide Ronton to solve this problem completely.

The purpose of these two directors of the Academy of Magic was almost obvious. It was obvious that they had come to personally assist Kerry and another German cloning mage to deal with Ling Tian. There was no problem for the four top masters to deal with Ling Tian alone. Unless Ling Tian reached the Holy Grade, he would not be able to escape even if he had wings.

Such an idea was equivalent to verifying Lee Xiang's previous guess. Ronton had indeed been using this procrastination technique all along. Furthermore, the empire was obviously preparing to solve this problem by force. As for how to solve this problem. . . Lee Xiang could not guess for the time being, because according to what he knew, the Lower Race had just been formed. If he wanted to use it, he would have to wait until next year at the very least. But if he did not use them, Lee Xiang could not think of any other way.

However, Lee Xiang still couldn't figure out why Ronton would ask him to participate in such a secret matter.

There was another thing that Lee Xiang was most worried about. Because he had just promised Yun Chang that he would try his best to let those Lower Race go home safely. At this moment, Ronton clearly meant that he would not be able to solve this problem. This made him deeply worried.

But the key to the problem was that he really did not have a good solution at the moment.

After thinking for a while, Lee Xiang looked at Ronton and bowed. "Grandpa, I have something to attend to, so I won't participate!"

Ronton was slightly stunned, then he looked at the old man next to him and continued, "Today we are discussing how to arrange the two newly formed divisions and find two suitable commanders for them. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Of course, grandpa will make the decision himself. Grandson's suggestion is that you must first find someone you trust to be the commander. Next is a capable person. . . "Lee Xiang shook his head. He was afraid that his opinion was false. The other purpose was the truth. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he absolutely could not participate today. Otherwise, if he said something wrong, His thoughts were seen through by these crafty people. Of course, the most important thing was. . . He had to think of a way as soon as possible to get these Lower Race to retreat for the time being. Once the Ling Tian they relied on was subdued, it would be difficult for these people to do anything.

Lee Xiang did not hesitate to decline, causing the old man beside Ronton to be stunned. He could not help but reveal a thoughtful expression.

"There will be a prayer ceremony in the church tomorrow. My grandson promised Bishop Arthur a few days ago. He also promised Mrs. Sophie that he would go with her tomorrow, so he must make some preparations. Otherwise, he will make a fool of himself tomorrow! "

They all knew that the church held a prayer ceremony, and the archbishop Lyman of the church had invited them before. Therefore, Lee Xiang's excuse was very dignified, but Ronton and the others still had a bad feeling about it. A yellow person, Holy Maiden, had just arrived at the church. Now, she immediately roped in another yellow person, Baron. Everyone knew what she was thinking. However, they could not openly stop her.

However, Smith was very concerned about Sophie asking Lee Xiang out. He was slightly stunned and asked, "Sophie asked you out on her own accord?"

Lee Xiang nodded. This uncle of his. . . Obviously, he was coveting Sophie's beauty. The two of them definitely knew each other. However, Sophie was after all another person's wife. His actions seemed a little too obvious. After all, she was also a noble. At the very least, she still needed face. When she thought of this question, her heart slightly moved. He vaguely thought of a wonderful idea. He looked at Smith and said, "Oh right, uncle, do you know the girl who sells wine in that tavern? I heard Mrs. Sophie mention it today. This girl seems to be her maid, and she seems to be here specifically for this!"

"What?" Smith blurted out.

Lee Xiang noticed that Ronton and the others were also shocked, including Shaun, who had been smiling without saying anything.

It seemed like they really didn't know about this matter, but this didn't seem to make sense. Just imagine, how could they not know about Mrs. Sophie's restaurant right under their noses? This matter did not seem to be right.

"Didn't they say that she was just an ordinary woman who bought wine?" Ronton turned to Smith and asked in a deep voice. "How could it be related to Sophie? Also, is that wine family the property of the Hill family? "

Smith clearly felt that the problem was not good and hurriedly replied, "I don't know either, because ever since this incident, the girl who bought the wine never came out again. And I heard from Kyle that. . . This girl is just an ordinary Lower Race seller. She's just a pretty one! "

"Bastard, call Kyle over right now!" Ronton was furious. He had never seen Ronton lose his temper like this before. Kyle was the one who caused this rebellion by teasing Yun Chang. Lee Xiang had seen him a few times in Duke's Mansion.

Seeing Ronton's expression, Lee Xiang was also secretly surprised. He didn't expect Sophie's name to be so good that it actually messed up Duke Ronton's hands and feet.

"Duke, don't be anxious. Why don't we take things slow for today's matter. Let Smith make a trip to Sophie immediately. How can he verify it?" The old man, who had been silent the whole time, stopped him with a smile.

Ronton thought for a while and nodded. He turned his head and waved at Smith. "Go!"

Lee Xiang also greeted them and followed them out. He quickly went back to his yard. From what he saw just now, he could see that Sophie seemed to be very good at eating in the empire. When he thought of the two big families backing him, he immediately felt relieved.

After returning to the courtyard, Lee Xiang first found Ao Guang and asked him to quickly go and see Sophie. At the same time, he brought his own handwritten letter.

The purpose was very simple. He wanted her to cooperate with him. He wanted Smith to willingly hand over the person called Kyle. Only by doing so would he be able to give the Lower Race that was still gathered in the outskirts of the farm a reason to disperse, and most importantly, he wanted to use this to test if Ling Tian had any selfish motives. If there was such a person, then that person would truly be terrifying.

Of course, this also meant that he had fulfilled his promise to Yun Chang today.

. . .

In the study, Ronton and Lindman looked at each other and sat down.

"Sir, do you think your previous guess was wrong?" Ronton looked at Lindman and asked in a deep voice.

Lindman gently stroked his white beard, but there was a thoughtful look on his face.

"Master, this young master of yours is really hard to see through!"

Ronton nodded in agreement. He also thought the same thing. They originally thought that the matter of enlisting Lower Race for military service was. . . In the end, not only did he not ask about it during the past few days, but he also did not ask about it. He was either staying in the courtyard to raise flowers and play the piano or drinking and having fun. It was as if it had nothing to do with him. The most terrible thing was that he had actually gotten to know Mrs. Sophie. Moreover, he seemed to have great interest in the church, which made them anxious. It was not easy for the empire to set up a classic example. If it was used by the church so easily. . . They were really unwilling. To be honest, since the last time, under the guidance of Lindman, Ronton had already made up his mind to let Lee Xiang stay idle at home and make use of him at critical moments. It was a very good move. However, when he saw his nonchalant expression recently, he couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart. So today, he also wanted to seek Lee Xiang's opinion again. After all, he was an extremely intelligent person. Perhaps he could have a good idea.

However, Lee Xiang's sudden appearance today really made them a little confused.

"Sir, what do you think we should do now?" Ronton did not know what he was thinking about. After thinking for a while, he asked in a low voice.

Lindman shook his head slightly and said, "If we follow the thoughts of the Empire and the archdukes, Young Master Lee Xiang absolutely cannot let him believe in the Church. You also know that the Church of Faith and the Goddess of Faith are two completely different things. In addition to the recent appearance of Holy Maiden, once their plan is successfully implemented, I'm afraid that the structure of the Church in Silo Province will change over the past few hundred years. This is definitely not something that the Empire wants to see! "

Ronton nodded. What he needed to add was that this was also something that he was unwilling to see.

"But the problem now is that this child is too bored every day. If I don't find something for him to do, I'm afraid this worry will come sooner or later. The most troublesome thing is that I can't openly stop him from interacting with the people in the church. Otherwise, I would have let Lena leave that Arthur a long time ago!"

"So I have to find something for him to do!" Lindman took over the conversation. "I think the archduke should be able to do this. "

Ronton sighed slightly. It seemed like this was the only thing he could do. After a slight hesitation, Ronton looked at Lindman and asked casually, "Oh right, Mrs. Sophie was your student. Do you think there is any other reason for her to be so close to Lee Xiang?"

"Until now, I am not sure. " Lindman shook his head slightly. "You know, archduke. Sophie is very smart. She is one of the students I admire the most among all the students I have taught. Furthermore, after all these years, she has managed the business of the family far better than his ancestors. Just this point alone is enough to make very few men compare to her. As for her attitude towards Lee Xiang, Actually, this was not strange. After all, their family had never had the habit of discriminating against Lower Race for so many years. In some aspects, they treat Lower Race better. Although I have always been unable to figure out the reason behind this, I think it's great that she suddenly became interested in Lee Xiang's strange ancient zither. I know this student of mine very well!"

" If Mrs. Sophie also has a motive for Lee Xiang, then I'm really in a bit of a dilemma! After all, her. . . Sigh!" Ronton nodded. Although Lindman said it with certainty, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Don't worry, archduke. Since Sophie came to Bael City, Of course I'll see you. I'll find a chance to ask!" Lindman smiled. A complicated expression also flashed across his face. To be honest, he suspected that Lee Xiang had mentioned the church and Sophie on purpose to force Ronton to arrange something for him. If that was the case, then Lee Xiang's scheming was too terrifying. But he was not sure, so he could not casually say anything. When he thought of this, he continued, "As for Lee Xiang, it would be best for the archduke to arrange a job for him so that he would not have the time to think about many things. This will be better. "

Ronton nodded, but he began to feel troubled about how to arrange Lee Xiang.
