Cataclysm King

Chapter 253 A **** said, I am invincible at the same level.

While Song Yu and Ji Xun were wandering around the manor, the elders of the Song family also gathered together and held an internal meeting.

“Would you like to find out the origin of that guy named ‘Chaoyang’ or ‘Ji Xun’?”

"I asked people who had contact with that person, but no one knew how he came and suddenly appeared in Bolton Town. Later, Xiaoyu was taken by that guy and 'disappeared' for many days. I told him before People have investigated and found that none of the more than 400 congressman families in the Federation have this surname, and neither do the Olangu nobles."

“In other words, there is no background?”

“Hmm! But according to Sam, that person is a very powerful card master, fighter level. His strength should be around level three.”

"What's the use? Our Song family is still in need of guards? It's just a third-level card master. You can't find it anywhere. What we Xiaoyu needs is a husband who can give her a happy life and future."

"But."

"It's nothing. There is no trace of her origin, which is very suspicious. Xiaoyu is still young and she doesn't understand. In the future, she will understand that the best life we ​​have arranged for her is the best life. We must give her this matter Make the decision. No matter what this time, things have to be settled. I think the Duke of Ross’s house is a good choice.”

ˆ “.”

Song Yu returned to Black Gold City. Originally, to the elders of the family, he was just one of dozens of juniors, so it was no big deal.

 But the financial report of the Rose Chamber of Commerce is placed in front of the elders of the Song family, so this matter is not simple.

The Song family made its fortune in mining, but over the years they have also wanted to flex their muscles in business.

  However, compared with established chambers of commerce, their advantages are not great.

 The business system is large and bloated, with little profit.

 However, the emergence of the Rose Chamber of Commerce has opened up a new direction for these people.

Anyone with a little bit of business acumen can see that this young chamber of commerce has huge potential.

As long as there is the support of the Song family's huge financial resources, it will definitely become a money-attracting behemoth in the future.

so.

 In their view, President Song Yu is becoming more and more important.

 And now there is another important piece of information.

They knew that Song Yu had discovered an extremely rich mithril deposit near Bolton Town.

And the good news is that although the lord of Bolton Town was killed, the territory transfer agreement had been signed before and had been filed with the Federal Archives.

Song Yu is now the only legal owner of the mechanical city.

In other words, hundreds of kilometers around Bolton Town are her private territory.

Not to mention the value of the Rose Chamber of Commerce, just the mithril vein, Song Yu is now one of the clan members with the most amazing wealth in the family!

The only fly in the ointment is that Song Yu brought back a strange man.

 The Song family’s manor is very large.

 There are many Gothic-style spire buildings and extensive gardens.

Although Black Gold City is filled with coal ash and smoke, the air in the manor is very fresh.

 This is a filtering barrier that was installed at a great cost.

The master, Song Yu, led Ji Xun around the manor.

As we walked along, the chaebol lady also introduced us along the way.

“When I was a child, I thought the haystacks in this garden were too high, like a maze. If I walked in, I would get lost.”

“Isn’t this swan fountain ugly? Hahaha, it looks fat and stupid.”

“Let’s go to the chapel. I think that’s the most beautiful place in the manor.”

ˆ “.”

 Song Yu seemed to be very happy all the time when he returned home, with a bright smile always on his pretty face.

Ji Xun also thinks it’s good to go shopping.

 Haven't had such a leisurely walk for a long time.

This manor is indeed beautiful.

 Turning through a forest, you can see a small auditorium with a white roof and stained glass in the distance.

 The walls outside the auditorium are covered with roses in full bloom.

 Among the lush green leaves, roses bloomed, pink, lavender, and white, intertwined.

The breeze blows, and the rose flowers sway gently, light and soft.

The air is filled with an elegant fragrance.

The roses all over the wall give people a visual feeling that the color suddenly becomes brighter.

Like a beautiful oil painting.

Ji Xun couldn't help but take another look.

 “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?”

Song Yu on the side continued to introduce: "This manor was once the residence of a duke of the Oran Dynasty. It originally had a nice name, "Saphire Manor". Saifer means rose flower."

As she spoke, her tone was slightly resentful: "There used to be a lot of roses in the manor. They were very beautiful during the flowering season, and there was always a faint fragrance in the air. But the adults said that the roses were not valuable enough, so they have been plowed up over the years. A lot of it fell, and some other valuable varieties were planted.”

Ji Xun also felt pity after hearing this.

 It looks good only if it’s expensive?

 As expected, he is a plutocrat.

When I walked to the front of the small auditorium, I discovered that the roses on the outer wall were piled up in a waterfall, a riot of colors.

As he got closer, Song Yu suddenly noticed something and said excitedly: "Wow, someone is taking pictures~"

Ji Xun had seen it a long time ago.

 There was a newlywed couple in formal attire taking photos with the small auditorium as the background.

Cameras are still huge antiques.

This is a bit older than cameras a hundred years later, but only in size.

Similarly a large set of shooting machines, requiring a photography assistant to manually burn magnesium powder to fill in the light.

Song Yu explained: "The small auditorium in the manor is the most beautiful house in Black Gold City. Many good families in the city occasionally use the auditorium to hold weddings."

At this time, there was a "click" and a white light flashed in front of my eyes.

Song Yu looked at something that suddenly occurred to him, his eyelashes flickered playfully, and he suggested: "Ji Xun, should we take a photo together?"

Photograph?

Ji Xun’s eyes froze slightly when he heard this.

 He suddenly thought of a question.

If he had left a photo, it would be easier for Song Yu to find him a hundred years later.

  Why. Never before.

 Is it because I didn’t take the photo?

Song Yu looked at him without saying anything, thinking that he was not interested, and his expression darkened.

 But just when he was about to leave, Ji Xun suddenly said: "Okay."

 He also wanted to try and wonder why the photos he took could not be kept.

 “Hmmmmmm!”

Upon hearing this, Song Yu happily held his arm, and the two of them walked over.

　　The photographer and the newlywed couple who took the photo also recognized the eldest lady of the Song family.

 Sending blessings, the two stood in front of the camera.

The background is a white auditorium with a steeple, and there are large blooming roses on the wall. Gentleman Ji Xun is standing aside, and the girl in the camera has a smile as bright as a flower.

Song Yu felt as if he had dreamed of this scene.

 It was as if the dream had shone into reality, and for a moment, she felt like she had fallen into a fairy tale-like romantic atmosphere.

But, why can’t I see that face clearly in the dream?

Looking at Ji Xun holding his arm, Song Yu shook off the doubts that flashed in his mind and smiled, showing two rows of neat white teeth.

 “Click!”

 After taking the photo, it will take a few days to get the photo.

 The two of them wandered around the manor.

　　There is no longer the urgency of life and death before, and the topics of conversation are also very relaxed.

Ji Xun’s mind has been thinking about photos.

 Judging from what has happened now, my name and appearance should have been left behind.

So why didn’t the great detective Robin use these clues to find himself?

 He vaguely felt that this might be related to the law of time.

Song Yu watched Ji Xun distracted again, and suddenly thought of what his mother had asked before, and asked: "By the way, Ji Xun, I haven't asked you where you are from yet?"

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun heard this and met his expectant eyes.

 He thought he was familiar enough now and could tell the story of time travel.

However, just with this thought, my soul seemed to have been hammered.

Ji Xun couldn't describe the feeling of wanting to catch the quicksand at this moment.

but!

 He was sure that he would not be able to say the words "I come from a hundred years later"!

　　It seems as if as soon as he opens his mouth, he will immediately disappear into this era that does not belong to him.

 A possibility suddenly occurred to him: No, it’s the power of the law of time on the [stamp]! I do not belong to this era, so my existence will be forgotten by time! Because of the law of time, she forgot about me!

Song Yu saw that his expression was a little strange, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Ji Xun shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then struggled to say a response: "I come from a very far away place."

Song Yu thought he was joking with him. He turned his smart crystal eyes and asked with a smile: "How far away? Let me guess. Hyjal County in the far east of the Federation? Green Mountain in the far south? Or the far north? The Blood Moss Wasteland?”

 She mentioned all the most remote areas of the Federation.

"I"

Ji Xun felt as if something was blocked in his throat at this moment, and he couldn't say some words at all.

He was silent for a few breaths, changed his mind, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "It's so far away that I can only come here once in my life. I can't even come back again."

"ah?"

Hearing this, Song Yu's big clear eyes sparkled, looking at Ji Xun's serious expression, he vaguely noticed something.

Ji Xun added: "I was sent by [stamp]."

　　Obviously there are only a few words.

 But he seemed to have spent too much effort to say this.

 Then he exhaled a sigh of relief.

When Song Yu heard the stamp, he suddenly remembered their acquaintance. Before he realized the problem, he blinked: "So, are you a magician? Like the Aladdin genie in the fairy tale?"

This is the thought, isn’t it?

 I made a wish in my letters, and got a reply every time.

Then the last letter saying that I wanted to see him suddenly appeared in front of me.

　　It’s really amazing.

 Originally, Song Yu just asked casually as a joke.

Without thinking, Ji Xun nodded seriously: "Yeah."

 Confirm this statement.

 Looking at Ji Xun's serious expression, Song Yu also realized something.

 The smile on her pretty face gradually faded.

She seemed to be holding a beautiful, fragile glass, and she became cautious when speaking, "Mr. Ji Xun, then... will you leave as suddenly as you did when you came?"

Ji Xun said one word in a calm tone: "Yes."

 He doesn’t want to disappoint his friends.

 But it won’t give her too many meaningless expectations.

 Although he knew that she would definitely wait for him for a hundred years.

Song Yu was stunned on the spot as if he was struck by lightning.

After a long while, he seemed to come back to his senses. Suddenly his expression dimmed and he responded: "Oh."

 It turns out that he will leave.

  No wonder I always think he has something on his mind.

 It turns out to be this.

Song Yu looked at him and asked expectantly: "Can't you stay?"

 For Ji Xun, this era is too boring compared to the era when the Old World was discovered a hundred years later.

 The only reason why he was interested in staying was because of Song Yu.

 But it’s not up to him to decide.

Ji Xun said bluntly: "I can't stay."

"oh"

Song Yu’s only hope disappeared.

 She was very smart and guessed something immediately.

  She felt that she should be very sad, Mingming. Mingming felt that she had a very, very good friend.

 But he is leaving.

Song Yu looked away, not daring to look at each other for fear of letting others see the sparkle in her eyes.

The breeze blew on my cheeks, and the light breeze became heavy at this moment.

I really wish I could keep walking like this.

But this depressed mood only stayed for a moment. Song Yu turned to look at Ji Xun, smiled again, and held his hands even closer.

 Can’t stay.

It’s not that I don’t want to stay.

Song Yu thought of this and smiled happily.

 It seems like nothing happened.

Ji Xun could clearly feel the fluctuations in her energy, but he didn't understand why her mood changed like this.

Song Yu seemed to have guessed it. Before asking, she said seriously: "Because meeting Mr. Ji Xun is the greatest luck in my life."

 She is such a girl, with a little bit of luck, she can be happy for a long time.

 What's more, meeting Ji Xun was already a great blessing for her.

"Before you leave, you must tell me. I want to say goodbye to you."

"Um."

 The dinner party at the Song family was very lively.

 All the prominent figures in Black Gold City were invited, as well as many nobles from several nearby large city-states.

The meaning of dance parties in upper-class society lies in communication and resource exchange.

The senior officials of the Song family also have plans to push the "Rose Chamber of Commerce" into the eyes of the upper class this time. Of course, there is also Song Yu’s marriage.

 She is a girl after all.

  No matter how much wealth you have, you must ultimately entrust it to others.

 The older generation wanted Song Yu to meet those young talents.

Ji Xun originally had no interest in this kind of time-wasting dinner, and knew that his appearance would inevitably cause a lot of trouble.

 But Song Yu wanted him to come.

 He came.

At seven o'clock in the evening, rows of luxurious cars were parked at the entrance of the manor, and aristocratic ladies and gentlemen in gorgeous dresses entered the manor one after another.

 The dinner started in a grand and joyful atmosphere.

 In the brightly lit banquet hall, the band played lively dance music.

Song Yu, who had changed into a grand attire, took Ji Xun's arm and walked into the banquet hall.

 The exquisitely embroidered long skirt with low-cut silver pattern has impeccable cut and style, and its sexiness has already begun to show.

Ji Xun's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he praised: "It's very beautiful."

Song Yuda smiled generously and liked the compliment, but he didn't say thank you.

She looked at Ji Xun, who was also wearing a gorgeous white tuxedo, and said with the same smile: "Mr. Ji Xun is also super handsome tonight! He is also a gentleman and charming!"

With this statement, what was originally a heartfelt compliment turned into exaggerated business compliments.

 The two laughed.

This entrance immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

 Because everyone here knows that the protagonist tonight is Song Yu.

Since he was here to hold the place for Song Yu, Ji Xun certainly couldn't lose his momentum. He raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and walked in steadily.

  He has a calm aura tempered by death, but at this moment, even if he is stared at by hundreds of aggressive and scrutinizing eyes, he still has no fear at all.

 Be sharp and sharp.

Song Yu seemed to feel the domineering aura of Ji Xun for the first time, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He couldn't help but whisper: "Hey, Mr. Ji Xun is really handsome!"

As she spoke, she showed no stage fright and held Ji Xun's arm confidently, just because she wanted to introduce her friend to her family and all the guests.

The bright crystal lamp was like a stage spotlight at this moment, shining alone on the two of them.

 The two stepped on the red carpet and entered calmly.

　　The two people entering the house made all the elders of the Song family look ugly.

Although in the upper class, hugging and holding hands is a common etiquette gesture, it is not considered intimate.

 But the bright and unabashed smile on Song Yu's face at this moment made everyone see that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

Especially the young heroes who are all well-dressed, all of them can't hide their jealousy.

 But he couldn’t help but compare.

 This competition was already invisible and the battle was defeated.

 In terms of temperament, no one here can say better than the young man who walked calmly in a white suit.

Ji Xun is like an unsheathed sword, the cold light is shining and extremely dazzling.

 When people see it, it gives people a feeling of frustration that pales in comparison.

 Young people are all indignant.

Most of the elders in the Song family looked bad.

 But no one noticed that in the corner, a gray-haired old man praised: "This is a young man! It is very rare to have such magnanimity. Didn't you say that he is just a little card master with no background?"

As he said that, a middle-aged man on the side looked embarrassed: "Father, we have already investigated, and that 'Ji Xun' really has no background."

However, the old man waved his hands indifferently and said unceremoniously: "Haha! If you guys had half of this magnanimity when you were young, you wouldn't be so useless now. Now it seems that your vision is worse than your ability!"

ˆ “.”

 The middle-aged people around him all looked awkward.

They also don’t know that the master is the only person besides Song Yu who knows the novel ideas of the Rose Chamber of Commerce.

As soon as the two of them came in, Song Yu was dragged by her mother to meet her aunts and elders.

 After being separated for the time being, Ji Xun has no interest in dancing.

 A person started eating at the buffet.

 This was not his first time attending such a high-society banquet, and there was nothing new about it.

No one here obviously welcomes him, and no one wants to make friends with him.

 What's more, Song Yu attracted almost everyone's attention, and Ji Xun was comfortable alone in the corner.

I have to say that the things made by the chaebols are good.

 As long as money can buy it, it must be the best!

Various delicacies, as well as foods with special effects.

 This was better than the previous banquets Ji Xun had attended in Innocence City.

But it didn’t last long.

Ji Xun was eating when he suddenly saw an old man walking over with a housekeeper.

Ji Xun had already observed it before entering the banquet hall.

This old man has a very high status and greets everyone who comes.

If you guessed correctly, this person is the "grandpa" in Song Yu's mouth.

 Nowadays, the Song family talks about everyone.

Ji Xun doesn’t like this kind of communication.

But seeing the old man walking straight over, he still greeted him politely: "Mr."

  The old man was not wary of him as an outsider like other Song family members, but smiled kindly: "Young man is not bad."

Ji Xun: "The old man has given me the award."

Old man Song: "Are you the 'Chaoyang' that Xiao Yu said?"

Ji Xun nodded, neither humble nor arrogant: "Ji Xun has met Mr. Song."

  The old man continued: "Xiao Yu has mentioned you to me many times before."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun felt the appraising gaze.

 He knew that the old man was here to test his background, but his origin was indeed very complicated and he couldn't explain it clearly, and he didn't want to explain it to anyone except Song Yu.

Although not very polite, he still chose the most direct way and said straight to the point: "Old man, I'm sorry for being rude. I know you may have many questions, but I'm sorry that I can't explain them due to some special reasons. If you have questions, I may He will respond with two sentences: Song Yu is a very good friend of mine. I have no interest in wealth."

These two sentences can already answer almost all the questions of the older generation of the Song family.

If the other party doesn't understand or continues to make things difficult, Ji Xun doesn't want to say more.

ˆ “.”

When the old man heard this, his wise eyes suddenly froze.

Far from feeling rude, the old man smiled heartily and said, "That's cool! Young man, I like your character!"

 A person with his life experience has already understood everything in these two sentences.

 Since I want to be sure, I have already got the answer.

 Then the rest is not important.

Mr. Song suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was very appetizing, more appetizing than anyone else.

He smiled and said: "I also know that it must be that girl Xiaoyu who asked you to come and help her block the sword tonight. You treat that girl as a friend. Correspondingly, she also treats you as a very trusted friend."

Ji Xun was noncommittal.

The old man spoke very directly, without beating around the bush, and said directly: "I will help her deal with that girl's matter. But tonight, you may have to show up to make some people quit. They are all old friends, so they spoke. , it’s hard for me to refuse. But if their own heirs fail to live up to expectations, then my old face can give me an explanation."

Ji Xun heard this and said decisively: "Okay!"

Since we agreed that Song Yu would come, we naturally had this plan for a long time.

The old man has said this very frankly, which means: You just have to make trouble, and as long as it can be done, I will help you finish it.

It could not be better.

 The old man chatted for a few words and then left.

To outsiders, this conversation may seem unpleasant.

 The dinner was also going on normally, it was time to dance and chat.

Ji Xun was enjoying himself eating at the buffet counter.

After waiting for a long time, Song Yu finally saw a group of dozens of relatives and friends and walked over.

 “Ah, it’s so troublesome”

While the girl was muttering, she picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Seeing Ji Xun eating happily, she blinked: "Is it delicious?"

Ji Xun nodded: "Not bad."

 【Macrofood】can quickly turn food into energy. With so many high-end foods, he feels great.

 At this time, soft notes floated in the banquet hall.

 Another cheerful dance music sounded.

Song Yu, however, had no interest in food. He looked at the people on the dance floor with his eyes, as if he was expecting something, but he didn't get it. Then she spoke: "Mr. Ji Xun, don't you invite me to dance?"

Ji Xun: "Okay."

Song Yu's eyes were filled with joy, but he still said faintly: "Ah, you know, if the woman is required to take the initiative to invite a dance partner, it would be very difficult."

 It would be very embarrassing.

 I just concentrated on eating, and I really ignored it.

Before she could finish speaking, Ji Xun understood what she was saying. He bowed in a gentlemanly manner, spread his hands and invited: "Beautiful Miss Song Yu, am I honored to invite you to dance?"

Song Yu stopped immediately before he finished speaking.

She happily took up her delicate hand and responded with a smile: "Okay~"

 The two entered the venue briskly to the beat of dance music.

At this time, the firepower of hatred was instantly full.

Ji Xun hugged Song Yu and danced happily on the dance floor. The two people, who were already familiar with each other, looked at each other with bright smiles on their faces.

 The two of them instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

  Ji Xun’s aura is fully activated and he has an aggressive attitude.

And Song Yu is now in his most beautiful years when he stands and shines.

 When the two of them come together, it feels as if the entire stage belongs to them.

Even some young talents who had wanted to invite Song Yu to dance for a long time were too embarrassed to ask.

Song Yu is also enjoying himself more and more, spinning and jumping briskly

Her clear spring-like eyes reflected Ji Xun's elegant and handsome face.

 She made no secret of her praise: "Mr. Ji Xun, you are so handsome!"

Ji Xun smiled and said, "I said it three times tonight."

Song Yu took a few more glances and said, "Yeah. He's just very handsome!"

Hearing this, Ji Xun responded politely: "Miss Yu is also very, very beautiful tonight."

"Thanks."

As soon as these words came out, Song Yu's silvery laughter came to my ears: "Hahahaha."

 Suddenly it turned into a business mutual favor.

 The atmosphere suddenly became joyful.

After the two dances, Ji Xun clearly felt that there were more jealous eyes, stabbing himself with thousands of arrows.

 But at the same time, it is also weak.

 When there is a comparison, one will be jealous;

If you are not an opponent on the same level at all, and you know you are defeated just by looking at it, how can you dare to speak?

Those aristocratic young men, except for their family background, have no confidence that they can beat the most eye-catching man tonight.

Just looking at it defeated all their courage.

Ji Xun thought it would be great if the trouble was solved like this.

However, at this time, he caught some conversations that were not disguised.

In the corner of the banquet hall, a blond young man looked at Ji Xun and Song Yu on the dance floor, his expression full of resentment.

 As the heir to the Duke of Ross's family, marrying a businessman's daughter is already a great honor to the Song family.

 I didn’t expect that this woman would be so disrespectful?

You are already engaged to yourself, but you are still hooking up with a man?

Thinking of this, He Ao was filled with anger and asked the sword-carrying young man in martial arts uniform next to him: "Are you sure? It is said that that guy has killed a third-level card master. He has very strong fighting skills. It seems to be the same as you. Qigong master."

The young man with the sword on his back was minding his own food and said indifferently: "Hum, qigong master? Are other people worthy of being called qigong masters in front of my palace family? Don't worry. Within the same level, I am invincible."

He Ao: "That's good. When the time comes, even if I can't kill him, I'll still **** him!"

ˆ “.”

 “Hostility perception has improved again.”

Ji Xun heard these words.

 But I don’t care at all.

As a dude, it’s normal to be a little arrogant.

 And among his peers, Ji Xun did not feel that anyone was a threat.

 Instead, he practiced his proficiency in qi perception with great interest.

But listening to the next few sentences, this is probably a bit too loud.

 Haha, still invincible at the same level?

Ji Xun was still wondering who could be so crazy and qualified to say such crazy things.

 But when he looked at the young man carrying a big sword in front of him, he suddenly changed his mind.

 Hmm. He is qualified.

However, this is not the time.

After the dance, the young man with the sword in front of him walked out like a dazed young man, pointed at Ji Xun's nose, and said: "Hey, I want to fight with you!"

 In upper class society, dueling was a very common method of resolving disputes.

 Especially for love.

But the two guys in front of me are the same thing, but they are not.

Ji Xun looked at the young man carrying the sword with a slightly strange expression.

At this age, he can reach the third level, and he can also "turn the power of mantra into energy". He is indeed very strong, and his talent is considered to be first-rate.

Looking at the door-panel-like sword behind him, Ji Xun's expression became even weirder, and he thought to himself: "[Useless sword]?"
