Xanadu, my martial soul in Douluo continent

In the courtyard of the manor, there are endless layers of garden rockeries. At dusk, a ditch surrounds the corridor, and the golden and orange sunset is reflected in it. Many guests come on foot, either forming a circle or wandering around.

In an open space in the center of the garden, the servants have finished setting up the long table and are arranging the seats for the guests. The chef is also serving the meals in sequence. First, they place the appetizers, then they serve the sumptuous dinner, then they bring the soup and wine, and finally they bring the exquisite desserts. .

The atmosphere was lively, but many guests looked sad and discussed the current situation of martial law in low voices. One said that orders were in breach of contract, and another said that costs had skyrocketed. Some guests had sold off their properties and were preparing to invest outside of Belem in an attempt to stop losses.

After the martial law, goods in Belém could not be transported out of the country, and foreign merchants could not purchase. Orders were defaulted, raw materials were in short supply, and the former prosperity began to decline.

Generally speaking, government orders usually come from industry associations. These guests have extraordinary means and it is very easy to break the martial law.

However, this matter was already unusual. The martial law order even came from the city's main guard, and the School of Life seemed to support it.

Half of the four major forces in the Belém area support martial law. The industry association is unable to support itself, and the forces of these guests cannot compete with them.

The family business is deteriorating, and these guests have visited here many times in search of help.

Once the Belen family comes forward, two against two, the situation will be a tie. Even if it cannot be lifted immediately, the scope of martial law can be reduced and business can continue.

Of course, the Belen family has lasted for thousands of years, and it has become an ancestral motto to be wise and self-protective. Even if the martial law lasts for three years or two, the Belen family can still support it without offending the other two families.

Tionia was originally unwilling to get involved in this matter, but lobbyists came frequently and there were some rumors in the city, so she invited many parties to come and discuss the follow-up matters of martial law.

For example, when will martial law be lifted, whether several checkpoints can be opened, and whether special tasks can be allowed.

These matters involve many exchanges of interests, and only one person from other forces in the Belen region can guarantee it.

Being in a high position and being a soul master, she is extremely powerful and full of prestige. This is another image of Tionia as the owner of the manor.

After the decoration was completed, it was already sunset, and the servants immediately lit the candles. The bright light filled the courtyard, and the manor was like daylight.

The guests murmured in low voices, and the outer door of the mansion suddenly opened. A beautiful girl came in dressed up, and a handsome young man walked hand in hand. The courtyard suddenly became quiet.

Several guests' wine glasses fell, and several guests' eyes were dull. Of course they recognized Tionia, the famous Flower of Belem, but who was the boy at Tionia's side?

Of course, they had never seen the young man and did not know his origin. However, just by seeing this scene, many guests had their dreams shattered.

Tionia has never had any scandals, and some guests have come to propose marriage without even meeting her, and they have already been severely rejected.

Attend the banquet and accompany each other hand in hand.

Obviously, the strange boy of unknown origin may have been married to him for a long time.

"how is this possible?"

Some guests are still resisting, refusing to believe such a thing.

"What kind of rejection? It's all excuses! This bitch!"

Some of the guests were filled with rage, hating Cabbage and even Tyonia.

"It's so sudden, what if it's my cousin..."

Some guests still held out hope that maybe the young man was just a relative and there was no need to worry too much.

"It was a wrong payment after all."

Some guests are already depressed. They can't pursue it, and they don't expect to get engaged. They dare not speak out against it in public, and they are unwilling to accept it.

Of course, some guests were overjoyed, such as the middle-aged winemaker wearing a silver star.

Looking at the entrance of the courtyard, the Silver Star winemaker raised his wine glass and said, "It's actually happened."

Ross once mentioned cabbage to his niece, and his words were full of praise, as if he hoped to promote a marriage.

However, Ross doesn't think this will succeed.

After all, Tionia is not without her own opinions. In the few years since she took over as the head of the family, many matters have been decided by the girl, and her seniors have not been allowed to interfere at all.

Of course, it would be too soon to meet each other for at most a week.

Ross was very puzzled by this. Even if he put aside the family business, his niece was still a genius, and his mother was also a high-level official in Tianshui, so there was no need to worry about marriage.

The guests were all discussing this matter. When they saw Ross raising his glass, a young man in yellow quickly left his seat and hurried over.

"Father! That boy next to my cousin?"

The young man in yellow asked in a low voice: "It seems that this person has never been seen in the family."

"Kate, that boy is my benefactor, and he is traveling around. Because it is the autumn festival, I asked Tina to coordinate the accommodation, and I mentioned that boy before."

Ross put down his wine glass and said in a complicated tone, "Now it seems that Tina fell in love at first sight."

"Love at first sight?" The young man in yellow couldn't believe it. "If my cousin falls in love at first sight, our college will definitely be the champion of this year."

"The School of Life has never participated in the competition, let alone the championship, it doesn't even have a ranking."

Ross interrupted immediately, then squinted his eyes and scanned the courtyard, "Dean Luo Zhi is still in retreat? At this time, he will not come out to preside over the situation."

"So, my cousin may be under coercion, let me go and test it out." The young man in yellow whispered, "In addition, Dean Nuo Zhi came out of seclusion the day before yesterday. It is said that he has reached the bottleneck. If you fuse the soul ring, you can become a titled Douluo. Simulated, Nine Swords."

"Sigh, Nuo Zhi is very ambitious. Once he becomes a titled Douluo, he will definitely unify the Belen area. The Lord of Guiyue City happens to be missing. I'm afraid the misfortune will be worse."

Rose lamented, "Strength is more reliable than money after all. It's time to write a letter and notify Tianshui so that Tina's mother can come back and take charge of the family."

The young man in yellow hesitated slightly, "Master Mirage hasn't broken through yet, how can he resist Dean Nozhi?"

"Kate, Nozhi doesn't dare to do anything."

Ross raised his glass and downed it in one gulp, and then showed a slight smile, "Tianshui Academy has many strong people. Even if he becomes a titled Douluo, Nozhi still has to worry about three points."

The storm brings whirlpools, whirlpools hide rapids, and the truth is hidden under the rocks. The situation in Belen is far more complicated than the case appears.

……

In the center of the courtyard, Tionia was negotiating, and Baicai sat down to eat. A young man in yellow suddenly crowded nearby and waved to Tionia.

"Cousin, who is he?"

The young man in yellow said bluntly, "He doesn't seem like Beren, why are you allowed to attend this banquet?"

Dismissing several sisters casually, Tionia turned her head and said, "Kate, this is not important."

Kate, the young man in yellow, sounded concerned, "Whether it's important or not, there has to be a reason. You don't have to be responsible for the debt I owe you."

"It's not about responsibility, it's about genuineness, high qualifications, lovely personality, and getting along well with each other. Isn't that enough?"

Tionia turned around and asked, "Oath to each other, unwavering determination? Playing hard to get, pretending to be separated? Is this how to fall in love?"

"But you can only get along for a week at most."

Before she finished speaking, Kate suddenly stuttered, "This kind of thing, this kind of thing..."

Tionia interrupted suddenly, "Time never proves anything. During the week, the young man was very polite, neither entangled nor prying, neither stubborn nor pedantic. I believe in this conclusion and like it very much." kind of getting along.”

"Kate, don't do anything stupid."

The beautiful girl smiled gently, lowered her voice and repeated again, "Don't do anything stupid."

The hair on the young man's body in yellow clothes stood up, and Tina's tone almost reminded him of the past, when he was a cow and a horse a few years ago.

The cousin was a devil, and Kate immediately felt sorry for the boy.
