Chapter 72: Square

  Chapter Seventy-two Square

  Xiao Yu originally wanted to let Little Dragon stay here, but Tairand, Ophelia and Xiwen were not around, and this little guy didn't want to stay either, insisting on following along. No choice, Xiao Yu could only have Ophelia hold it.

  After walking along the main road for a while, they arrived in front of an extremely grand mansion. In front of the mansion's gate, two gigantic stone lions, over three meters high, were squatting. The rough yet elegant carvings made them seem lifelike and extremely powerful.

  Xiao Yu looked at the mansion and thought to herself, "Compared to this place, my Lion King's territory is really shabby. No wonder Prince Mo didn't think much of me when he arrived at the Lion King's territory."

  Prince Mo didn't even need to report, he directly took Xiao Yu and the others in. The guards at the door saw Prince Mo and immediately all bowed and paid their respects, with extremely respectful attitudes. On the other hand, when they looked at Xiwen, it was as if they were looking at a stranger, without any expression.

  Inside the Wangfu, there is a main road in the middle, with corridors on both sides and many small roads that lead to various parts of the mansion.

  The prince Mo led them away, without even looking back. He didn't dare to argue with Xiao Yu anymore, nor did he dare to show off in front of her. He knew that he couldn't gain anything by being on good terms with Xiao Yu, so he was thinking about how to speak ill of her in front of the lord, and make this rascal suffer as much as possible. Otherwise, it would be hard for him to vent out the resentment that had been building up in his heart for so many days.

  Xiao Yu, on the other hand, looked like a typical tourist, walking and stopping, looking around here and there, completely not treating this place as a solemn lord's mansion, but rather just like when he used to visit the Forbidden City or the Gongwangfu, if it weren't for the fact that cameras didn't exist in this era, Xiao Yu would have already taken a group photo with the three beauties.

  The prince sneered in his heart, "Just wait a little while and you'll be in for a treat."

  A group of people walked through countless corridors and paths, finally arriving at a secluded small courtyard. The design of this small courtyard was also unique, with clear water surrounding it, artificial hills standing upright, as if living in a paradise on earth.

  "My goodness, you really know how to enjoy yourself." Xiao Yu exclaimed in admiration.

  When he arrived at the gate of the small courtyard, Wang Zimo did not dare to enter directly, but instead let the guard at the door go and report first.

  Xiao Yu saw a flowerbed next to her, full of beautiful flowers, and couldn't help but feel excited, so she quickly ran over, looked at several beautiful flowers, and directly plucked them all down.

  Xiao Long saw Xiao Yu picking flowers and naturally didn't want to fall behind, so he jumped out of Ossilia's arms and into the flowerbed, where he recklessly picked all the most beautiful and lush flowers.

  The prince's face turned green as he saw this scene.

  "Y...y..." He stuttered, unable to say a word. This was the lord's most beloved flowerbed, after all. It had cost tens of thousands of gold coins to import rare species and hire specialized gardeners to care for them. Normally, anyone who dared to knock off a single petal would be beaten with dozens of sticks.

  This rascal actually picked them all off directly and specifically chose those that were blooming beautifully, it's really, it's really...

  At this time, the guard at the door came out and said something to Prince Mo.

  Wangzi Mo nodded and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, saying to Xiao Yu: "Xiao Lord, the Lord is calling us in."

  Xiao Yu listened and shook her head, saying: "Wait a minute, there are still several beautiful flowers here. If I don't pick them, my heart will ache with regret."

  "You...!" Prince Mo's hands trembled with rage, "The lord is calling you, and yet you remain completely unmoved, still messing up the flowerbed. This can no longer be described as just being a rascal."

  "Xiao Yu, Father is calling us, let's go in." He Wen couldn't help but speak out while watching Xiao Yu being so reckless.

  Xiao Yu heard Xi Wen say so, and reluctantly jumped out of the flower bed with Xiao Long. Each of them hugged a big bunch of flowers to share with Ophelia, Tyrant and Xi Wen.

  Xī wén naturally didn't dare to wear it at this time, but Océlie and Tailande didn't care about these things, each person directly took a few beautiful flowers and pinned them on their clothes or hair.

  Little dragon swung several flowers, rustling sounds, playing very happily.

  Under the leadership of Wangzi Mo, everyone entered the small courtyard, turned over several fake mountains, and came to the front of a spacious study. The decoration of this study is very classic, Xiao Yu can't tell whether it's European or Chinese architecture, anyway, it looks very elegant, with a noble style.

  "Master, Fourth Miss has returned." Wang Zimo arrived at the door of the study and said respectfully.

  "Xiwen greets Father." Although the door had not been opened yet, Xiwen also immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.

  After a while, a soft voice came from inside, "Mm, back, it's good that you're back."

  After saying this sentence, there is no next part.

  Xiao Yu listened to the old man's big tone, couldn't help but roll her eyes, if it wasn't for the fact that he was Xi Wen's father, Xiao Yu would have kicked him out long ago.

  "I have come to inform Your Excellency that the Lord of the Lion King Territory, Xiao Yu, has also personally come to pay his respects." Prince Mo said.

  "Oh? Xiao Xian's nephew has also arrived, which is unexpected. Since Xiao brother passed away at a young age, I have been busy with territorial affairs and haven't had the chance to take care of his son, it's truly shameful."

  As soon as the sentence was finished, the door of the study creaked open, but only a maid came out. Xiwen's father sat steadily inside, without even nodding his head.

  Xī Wén's father, whose name is Wang Tiān Hǔ, was also a fierce general in the Tiān Shī dynasty back then. At that time, his father had already been granted a fiefdom here and later followed Xiāo Zhàn Tiān to fight battles, repeatedly achieving military merits, and was reappointed by the emperor of the Tiān Shī dynasty, promoting his father's viscount title to earl, expanding the territory more than tenfold, which led to the prosperous territory of today.

  "Hmph." Seeing the door open, Wang Zimo made no indication towards Xiao Yu, this guest from afar, and instead hummed a sound before walking in himself.

  Xiao Yu looked at Wang Zimo's back, pouted her mouth, and winked at the little dragon. The little dragon was now in perfect sync with Xiao Yu, and seeing Xiao Yu's eyes, it knew that Xiao Yu wanted it to tease Wang Zimo a bit.

  Then, with a whoosh, he slipped out of Ophelia's arms and landed behind Prince Muo, letting out a long breath that blew against the back of his long robe.

  Whoosh...

  The little dragon's flame breath had become extremely fierce after a period of time, and even tree branches could be burned off directly, let alone clothes.

  Then, behind Wang Zimou, a burst of flames suddenly rose up and began to burn fiercely.

  The prince suddenly shouted loudly, "Ah!" and quickly ran forward, frantically like a dog that had lost its home, fleeing in all directions, not knowing what to do.

  Xiao Long looked at Wang Zimo's burnt appearance and clapped his hands excitedly, making a "gulugulu" sound.

  Inside was a study, originally a quiet place, but suddenly a fire man rushed in, immediately causing chaos. Wang Zimo panicked and ran around wildly, shouting "ah" loudly, creating an excellent scenery.

  Xiao Yu secretly laughed in her heart and said: "Unexpectedly, Wang Zimo is so old, but he can still run so fast."

  "What's going on? Fire rescue!" Wang Tianhu was sitting in the main seat, chatting with several guests at this time. Suddenly, Wang Zimo turned into a fire man and jumped in, instantly causing chaos on the scene, as if it had suddenly become a circus.

  At this moment, a burst of icy blue gas suddenly erupted, carrying a fierce cold wind, and directly enveloped Wang Zimo's body.

  It's strange to say that the cold wind blew onto Wang Zimeng's body, and the flames on Wang Zimeng's body were extinguished instantly.

  Xiao Yu couldn't help but turn his head to look over, and saw an old man wearing a magic robe had just raised his hand and cast this spell.

  "A magician?" Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at this person, feeling that he couldn't see through this person's strength at all.

  "It seems that he should have reached at least the third level of magic. The magician that the royal family wants to win over is him, right?" Xiao Yu thought to herself.

  "Thanks a lot, Master Yiru." Wang Tianhu's voice came over, thanking the magician.

  Xiao Yu shifted her gaze and saw that on the main seat, at this moment, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and piercing eyes, robust physique, was sitting upright, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light, reminiscent of a tiger's gaze.

  This man is the current lord of the Wang family, Wang Tianhu.

  "Thank you, Master Yiru, for saving me. I deserve to die. Please, Lord Wang, punish me." In front of so many people, he had made such a big fool of himself, and it was in front of Lord Wang's face, too. The loss wasn't just his own dignity, but the dignity of the royal family. So, Prince Mo, who had just recovered from the shock, immediately apologized to King Tianhu.

  At the same time, Wang Zimo secretly glanced at Xiao Yu with a gaze that was full of endless malice.

  "It's not your fault, Zimo. You've had a hard journey, go sit down and rest over there." Wang Tianhu's eyes were icy cold and somewhat frightening at this moment.

  Xī wén looked at her father with such a gaze, scared to the point where she didn't even dare to take a deep breath. Since childhood, she had grown up under this kind of oppressive gaze.

  What her father brought to her was never affection, but authority, and only authority.

  Xiao Yu suddenly burst out laughing and picked up the little dragon, walking in to face Wang Tianhu on the main seat, saying: "This must be Uncle Wang, I am Xiao Yu, paying my respects. Earlier, my pet accidentally bit your housekeeper, I'm really sorry about that, I'll make sure to discipline it properly when I get back."

  Xiao Yu spoke politely, but with Xiao Long in his arms, he still stood ramrod straight, without even bending his waist, and his expression didn't show any politeness either.

  Wang Tianhu originally had a very unsightly expression, and now looking at Xiao Yu's appearance, his face sank even more severely.

  "How dare you! Is this what you call politeness? Allowing your pet to set fires, do you want to burn down Master Wang's study?! When a junior sees a senior, they don't even know the basic etiquette of bowing and kneeling. Is this how your father taught you?" At this moment, a young man wearing a noble attire suddenly stood up from his seat and coldly rebuked him.

  Xiao Yu heard the man's rebuke, but it was already within his expectations. He smiled and turned his head to look at the young man, saying: "Sir, may I ask, what is your mother's surname?"

  "This..." The young man was about to severely scold Xiao Yu, but was choked by Xiao Yu's words and could only say the word "you". Xiao Yu's simple words were like a super powerful move, directly rendering him helpless.

  "I challenge you to a duel." The young man's eyes were bloodshot as he bellowed loudly.

  Xiao Yu saw that this young man was so angry that he actually wanted to duel with himself, and his face suddenly turned serious. He said, "In my uncle's study, you dare to shout loudly and propose a duel. Is this the demeanor of a noble? Don't you know any etiquette at all? How did your father teach you?"

  Xiao Yu directly sent back all the words that this guy had just used to scold him.

  "This time, this guy couldn't say a word except for 'you'. Xiao Yu was obviously a rascal, but now he seemed to be the one who appeared like a rascal."

  With a swish, the young man directly drew out the sword by his side, ready to take action.

  "Uncle Wang, let me ask you something. Do you know this kind of person who has no family education and no upbringing? If you don't know him, I'll throw him away as trash." Xiao Yu turned to ask Wang Tianhu, with a tone and attitude that was unusually sincere, as if he had a very close relationship with Wang Tianhu and wanted to help him resolve his troubles.

  Wang Tianhu looked at Xiao Yu, but his eyebrows were deeply furrowed. Then he slowly said: "Kun Ka, put down your sword. If you draw your sword here, and your father finds out, how will he punish you?"

  When Wang Tien-hu said this, the young man called Kunka immediately realized his own discourtesy and hastily apologized to Wang Tien-hu before putting away his sword.

  However, he did not sit down immediately, but instead looked at Xiao Yu with a resentful gaze and said, "If you were a man, don't refuse my challenge once we leave this place."

  Xiao Yu suddenly rolled her eyes and said: "What are you? Why should I accept your challenge?"

  Watching Xiao Yu and Kun Ka about to engage in a war of words again, Wang Tianhu knew that Kun Ka was no match for Xiao Yu. He waved his hand and said: "Xiao Xian nephew, it's been a long time since you've come back from your journey, and it's rare that you're so thoughtful, even sending Xi Wen back home. Since the full moon wine that time, I haven't seen you again, didn't expect you to grow up so big, and also become so capable."

  Xiao Yu seemed to not hear the sarcasm in Wang Tianhu's words, and instead smiled: "Uncle Wang is overpraising me. When my father was alive, he often told me about Uncle Wang's bravery back then, and I have always admired you deeply. This time, I came mainly to see Uncle Wang and pay respects to the great hero I've long admired."

  Wang Tianhu burst out laughing and said, "Xiao Xian nephew is too polite. My friend and your father went on a western expedition together back then, experiencing countless hardships and dangers. If we're talking about heroes, your father was the real great hero, someone I've always admired."

  Xiao Yu smiled and said: "My father has already passed away, the heroes of this world are naturally only left with Uncle Wang, I should come to pay my respects."

  As she spoke, Xiao Yu didn't wait for Wang Tianhu to say anything and walked forward herself, arriving in front of a chair, then plopped down with a thud.

  Gromm, Tyrande and Uther also followed Jaina, standing behind her.

  As for Xiwen, without Wang Tianhu's words, she didn't dare enter the study and was still standing outside the door.

  "Hmph, a country bumpkin, indeed without manners. In a place like this, can your guards even enter?" Just as Xiao Yu sat down, a short and stout man wearing luxurious attire narrowed his small eyes and gazed over coldly from not far away.

  Xiao Yu looked at the fatty and sized him up before smiling and saying, "This brother, may I ask your esteemed surname and great name?"

  The stout man's face jiggled with fat as he snorted coldly, saying: "You don't have the qualifications to ask me."

  Xiao Yu was about to say something, but Wang Tianhu on the main seat said: "Xiao Xian nephew, you may not know that this is my closest friend, who is currently serving as the envoy of the Tianshou Dynasty in the southwest, Yun Cao Bo. In this southwestern land, he is a household name and everyone respects him."

  Xiao Yu listened and suddenly opened his mouth, seemingly extremely surprised, saying: "Oh, it turns out that it's actually Cloud Manipulation Earl, is Cloud Manipulation Earl really surnamed Yun with the name Cao?"

  Yun Cang looked at Xiao Yu with a cold gaze and said coldly: "Nonsense."

  Xiao Yu's eyes widened in realization again, and he clasped his fists together, saying: "I see, then may I ask, Cao, how is your mother?"

  Yun Cao heard this and was stunned for a moment, directly spitting out a mouthful of tea. A fat hand pointed at Xiao Yu, trembling with rage: "You... you..."

  Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Don't get agitated. I'm a polite person, a gentleman. My father taught me that way when I was young. You have to be humble and care about other people's families. That's what I've always done."

  "Who is this Duke Wang? Such a scoundrel, such a rascal!" Yun Cao Huo jumped up, his big belly heaving with anger.

  Xiao Yu heard this and suddenly her face changed, she stood up abruptly and said coldly: "Who are you saying is despicable? Who has no rules?"

  As soon as he touched Xiao Yu's icy gaze, Yun Cao suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. After a long time of killing and fighting, Xiao Yu's eyes naturally carried a murderous aura. Yun Cao was just an ordinary civil official, how could he contend with Xiao Yu?

  However, Yun Cao did not think Xiao Yu dared to do anything here, and immediately said loudly: "This kind of uncouth guy, without the master's permission, privately brought guards into the house. As a junior, you didn't let him sit down, but he sat down by himself. Isn't this being unscrupulous? Isn't this being shameless?"

  Xiao Yu brushed off the wind behind him and walked in front of Yun Cao, his eyes gleaming with a cold light. "I'm not being proper? May I ask, are you from the Tian Shi Dynasty?"

  "Cut the crap."

  Xiao Yu coldly said: "Everyone here is a subject of the Tian Shi Dynasty, right?"

  Yun Cao said again: "Who is not a person of the Tian Shi dynasty, what do you want to do? Are you going to rebel?"

  "Look at this cloud manipulation, immediately scolding: "You damn rebel, since you are all people of the Tian Shi Wang Dynasty, don't you know the rules of the Tian Shi Wang Dynasty? What is the biggest rule in the Tian Shi Wang Dynasty? It's hierarchy, the nobility's hierarchy, it's inviolable, it's the biggest rule. Commoners are not allowed to overstep nobles, and nobles are not allowed to overstep higher-ranking nobles. Do you know this rule? Lower-ranking nobles must greet, stand up, and pay respects when they see higher-ranking nobles. Do you know this rule? You're just a small viscount, I'm a first-class duke, who among you has a higher title than me? Who came out of the city to welcome me? Who came out of the door to welcome me? Who stood up when they saw me? Who paid respects when they saw me? And yet you say I have no rules, you damn well talk about rules with me. I'm the biggest here, and you dare to lecture me on rules? I'll write a letter to the Tian Shi Wang Dynasty right now to impeach this stupid fatty, let's see who the Tian Shi Wang Dynasty says has no rules."

  I saw in the book review area that someone said to fix the update time, but this little Sa really can't guarantee it. Because when writing a book, there is no draft, and every day is written on the spot. Sometimes inspiration bursts out and writes quickly, sometimes it gets stuck and writes slowly. Little Sa doesn't want to write casually to cope with everyone, so he is very serious about every article. However, little Sa will definitely update at least two chapters every day, and if there are any issues, he will notify everyone. Thank you for your support of little Sa.

  Thanks for the reward from Lao Kang Ge and Xuan Tian Yi Yi Yī.
