C90 Confusion

In the study room of Duke's Mansion, Duke Ronton sat at the top with a serious expression on his face. Lee Xiang and Lena stood on both sides. Kerry, on the other hand, sat beside Ronton. The treatment of the few of them formed a sharp contrast. It was obvious that Kerry was highly valued in the duke's eyes.

On the way back, Lee Xiang heard Bill mention this matter. The family that they just came from was the family that caused the Lower Race riot. That was to say, Smith's brother-in-law flirted with a girl who sold wine. No wonder they didn't see the wine-selling girl today. It must be because of that incident that they didn't dare to come out again.

As for the other mysterious man, according to what Bill said, it was very likely that he was the leader of the riot, Ling Tian! But even Bill himself wasn't sure. That was why he hurriedly went back to ask Kerry to come and witness him. After all, the only people who had actually seen him were Kerry and another mage in Duke's Mansion. The other person was Duke Ronton. As for the others, they had never seen him with their own eyes. Including Smith, not to mention Lena and Arthur. After all, the situation that day was very chaotic. And there were also many people.

Unfortunately, Because when Kerry left, that person suddenly left, so there was no way to distinguish him. However, according to Bill's description of his appearance, Kerry had basically confirmed that this person was Ling Tian.

There was another thing that he was certain of, and that was the reason why Ling Tian had stayed in Bael City. On one hand, the reason was to wait for Ronton to hand the person over to him. On the other hand, it was also to protect the Jiu family from any revenge. So it was very normal for him to stay inside. Of course, whether or not he had any other motives for staying here was unknown.

This was also the main reason why Ronton ordered Kerry to bring them back. The main reason was because he was worried about their safety. After all, he had delayed Ling Tian for a long time.

"Lena. . . " Ronton lightly coughed before turning his gaze towards Lena. "You will be staying in the residence during this period of time. You are not allowed to go anywhere, understand? Especially not the church. "

"Grandpa. . . I will listen to you from now on. . . That's right, besides, I have to go to church to pray every day. . . " Lena said in a spoiled voice.

"Alright, this matter is settled. I will arrange for someone to watch over you. You can go out first!" Obviously, Ronton did not fall for her trick. He did not give Lena a chance to speak and waved his hand to let her go out first.

Seeing Ronton's serious expression, Lena reluctantly retreated. However, before she left, she actually gave Lee Xiang a fierce glare.

This made Lee Xiang feel depressed and annoyed. One should know that today's incident had nothing to do with him. Strictly speaking, he was also implicated by her. He didn't expect that she would vent her anger on him. This woman was too unreasonable. She must still be prejudiced against him. Thinking of this, Lee Xiang couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. But he had no choice. To be honest, he had to treat this spoiled woman. He could not think of any other way other than to endure it. After all, he was living under someone else's roof. Although it was called adoption, But he knew the inside story better than anyone else.

Ronton, who had been paying attention to Lee Xiang's expression, sighed in his heart. To be honest, he had wanted to scold Lee Xiang today, but when he saw Lee Xiang's expression, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Especially when he thought that what happened today had nothing to do with him, he didn't know what to say. Thinking back to the words his daughter had entrusting to him before leaving the capital, his daughter's words were still echoing in his ears. His tear-stained face was still in front of him, and then he thought of the reason why he had done it. He could not help but feel ashamed when he thought of the things that his disappointing son had done. After coughing a few times, a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Come, come and sit by grandpa's side!" Ronton patted the chair beside him, trying to make his tone as gentle as possible.

Lee Xiang nodded silently, then obediently walked to the chair on the right side of his head and sat down.

"How is it? Are you used to coming here?" Ronton looked at Lee Xiang carefully and asked gently.

"Not bad. " Lee Xiang seemed to be distracted, but he muttered in his heart. His intuition told him that Ronton had made arrangements for him today. Otherwise, he would not just leave him there and not use him.

"En. . . " Ronton nodded. "I know that you must have had a hard time holding it in for the past few days. I have been busy with other things these few days, so I didn't have time to arrange anything for you. Besides, you need some time to adapt to the situation when you just arrived. I think it's about time. Do you want to help grandpa do something to make time? After all, you will need to do something in Silo Province in the future. "

Lee Xiang was slightly stunned. In his mind, he instantly thought about the purpose of Ronton telling him these things. Because he thought that Ronton would directly arrange for him to do something. Who would have thought that he would turn around and ask for his opinion? This made him a little surprised.

"Then what do you think is suitable for me to do?" Lee Xiang asked. He needed time to think about his purpose. Obviously, Up until now, it was not something he could decide. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for him to come here. He was almost sure that Ronton had made a proper arrangement for what he should do after careful consideration in the past few days. Perhaps he had already thought of how to play this card of his when he was in the capital. He had only deliberately left some time to carefully ponder about it.

"I think you can do a lot of meaningful things!" Ronton smiled. "First of all, you are very smart. Second, you are also a mage. The last and most important point. You are the grandson of Ronton, so I have no reason to let you stay idle in the mansion. Besides, you also have to do something for the Ronton family and the Silo Province. Don't have any doubts about this! "

Lee Xiang was stunned once again. This time, he was completely unable to guess what was going on in his mind. It sounded like there really were many options for him to choose? Could it be that he had really guessed wrongly?

"So, you must not have any other thoughts. No matter who misunderstood you, you can ignore them! You only need to remember that you are my grandson. In the end, I am the one who decides everything here! "

Ronton gave Lee Xiang another assurance. To be honest, not only Lee Xiang, even Kerry, who had been sitting on the other side, showed some surprise. Obviously, Ronton's words also surprised him.

Lee Xiang nodded, but didn't say anything. If his guess was correct, what Ronton said to him just now was just an opening statement. He should get to the main topic soon.

"I think you should have heard about what happened in Silo Province not long ago, right?" Sure enough, after a slight silence, Ronton looked up at Lee Xiang and suddenly asked.

Lee Xiang nodded, but he was surprised in his heart because he thought that Ronton would keep this matter a secret from him, but he never thought that Ronton would take the initiative to mention it. This made him puzzled once again, as he didn't know what Ronton wanted to say to him.

"So, what do you think is the reason for this?" Ronton looked at Lee Xiang with interest. "I want to know what you think about this. "

Lee Xiang understood what Ronton meant. Obviously, he was encouraging himself. At the same time, he was thinking about whether he should tell Ronton what he was thinking. After all, Reynolds had warned him not to play any tricks on him. It would not be worth it. He was afraid that it would affect Ronton's unclear attitude towards him. In addition, Smith wanted to kill him along the way. He had to be careful in dealing with this. After thinking for a moment, he said, "In my opinion, What happened is actually related to the attitude of the empire towards Lower Race over the past thousands of years. The empire had divided all its subjects into three grades and nine grades, which was a very unpopular thing to begin with. . . Everyone had made the necessary contributions to the Empire, but what about the rewards that they had received? It was discrimination. It is unfair treatment! As the saying goes, three feet of ice is not a day of cold. In my opinion, it should not be strange for such a thing to happen. If it didn't happen, it would instead be strange. Besides, the Empire has been doing this for so many years without being careful. . . "

Ronton nodded his head. In fact, everyone knew this reason in their hearts. It was just that everyone pretended to be confused because they knew what was going on. Looking at Lee Xiang's expression, they immediately understood what he was worried about. They immediately smiled. He encouraged him, "You can say whatever you want! Don't have any misgivings! I just said that you are now one of the masters here! So you should have the right to speak about this matter!"

Seeing that he had already said what he wanted to say, Lee Xiang immediately realized that he was indeed a little timid when he spoke and did things. Logically speaking, being a little careful was not a bad thing, but being overly careful would lose a lot of opportunities. Instead of regretting not doing it in the future, he might as well wait until he did it and then regret it. He immediately nodded his head. There was no longer any hesitation.

"However, this incident happened in Silo Province, so it's worth discussing!"

"Tell me what you think?" Ronton sat up straight, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"In my opinion, there are four suspicious points about this matter. . . " Lee Xiang nodded and continued. "First of all, This incident happened in Bael City at the beginning, and the Duke's Mansion was the one who killed them! Second, What happened? Coincidentally, it happened at the critical moment when the empire was furious about this. Secondly, There was actually one among the rioters, and even a few top experts of the continent. Finally, And the most crucial point, the cause of this matter was because an officer of the empire stationed in Silo Province teased a wine seller's girl. . . But according to what his grandson knew, This kind of thing happened almost every day no matter where it was. Why did it cause such a huge reaction this time?"

Ronton nodded his head approvingly. To be honest, The doubts that Lee Xiang had just mentioned were also the questions that he and some of the higher ups of the empire were thinking about. However, there was one thing that needed to be explained. Lee Xiang had been completely analyzed at the last minute. And he had only deduced it with the higher ups of the empire after returning to the capital. From this, it could be seen that. . . This Lee Xiang was indeed an extremely intelligent person.

"You mean to say that there is some kind of conspiracy behind this?" Ronton asked, but his facial expression didn't change at all. It seemed like he thought the same thing.

"That's right. This is exactly what my grandson thought. My premonition tells me that this should be a large-scale operation organized and planned!" Lee Xiang suddenly nodded his head. Since you want me to analyze it, I might as well tell you all of my thoughts. At the same time, he made another important decision in his heart.

He decided to make a big bet. Because he found that Ronton was already very old, although he still looked very energetic for the time being. His thoughts were also quite clear, but who could guarantee that he would suddenly not wake up after tomorrow? So he had to take advantage of the time when Ronton was still alive to fight for something that could protect himself. Otherwise, it would be too late in the future.
