I was hiding from gods and demons at the beginning, but it turned out that I was the boss

Bird and his companions followed the butler to the sixth floor.

The butler showed them around the guest rooms. "These three rooms are prepared for you. If you have any other requests, you can contact us using the communication bell in the room."

"Besides, no one else lives on this floor, so no one will disturb you."

"Clothes that need to be washed and garbage that needs to be disposed of can be placed in the collection box in the aisle, and someone will take care of it sooner or later."

"In about an hour, a servant will inform you to have dinner with the lord."

Raul thanked him and asked about his guards and coachman.

The butler smiled and said, "They have been arranged to stay in the manor outside the castle, and they have already had their meals."

"If you think it's inconvenient to live separately, I can show you the vacant houses in the villa when I have time."

Raul wanted to say that there was no need to go to such trouble and that they did not plan to stay long, but he held back the words.

Lord Emile treated them very friendly, and it seemed that the people on the canyon side did not hold Lorendel hostage...

"Then I'll have to trouble you to arrange it." Raoul politely sent the butler away.

The four of them were assigned rooms, and Lorenzo and Raul decided to change and chat after taking a shower. So Raul took his wife Luni into the larger suite, and Lorenzo and Millie each had a room.

"What should we do next? Should we stay in the canyon or find an excuse to leave?"

After Raul came out of the bathroom, Luni, feeling a little uneasy, asked.

Raul adjusted his coat and frowned as he said, "I want to stay here for a while. Our family is in trouble and we have no place to stay outside."

Lu Ni said, "We can go back to the north, and our father will protect us."

Raul reached out and pulled Lu Ni over. "I understand your thoughts, but if we are reported, it will implicate your family."

"Let's stay here for a while and leave after the storm passes."

Lu Ni asked worriedly, "Do you think there will be a fight between the royal army outside the canyon and the demons in the canyon?"

Raul shook his head. "I don't think we can fight for now."

"The key now is where the leader of the Lorendel Alliance is and whether she is safe. Whether it is the marriage between the North and the South or the confrontation inside and outside the canyon, it is all related to her."

"The royal family's goal is to maintain the unity and peace of Lanze. The Southern Alliance should not want to fight either. As for the situation of the demons in the canyon, I don't quite understand it."

"The three parties are probably all competing for the spiritual stone resources now. Before the royal wedding, they should focus on negotiations."

He kissed the corner of Lu Ni's lips and said, "You've been tired for most of the day, you should wash up first. I'll talk to Lord Loren and find out what he thinks."

"He is a powerful figure in the Southern Alliance. With his connections, we can consider living in the south in the future. Meijing is a very good city."

Lu Ni sighed and said, "It's the only way."

"Don't think too much, there will always be a way out." Raul let go of his wife and left the room.

Lu Ni was in a daze for a while, looking melancholy, then took out some clothes to change from her storage ring and went into the bathroom.

To save time, she did not choose a bathtub.

As the sound of water splashing in the shower room began, the door lock of the suite suddenly clicked and was locked from the inside.

"What a careless woman."

A sarcastic voice echoed in the empty living room.

The warm water washed away the fatigue from the journey, the shower gel was fragrant, and the nervous Lu Ni relaxed in the water vapor.

The sudden change has made her very worried.

Fortunately, although Raul is young, he is calm and reliable. Even if the Bird family goes bankrupt, the two of them can still have a good life if they manage the remaining properties well.

As she was thinking, a cool breeze came from the stuffy bathroom. Lu Ni turned around and saw that the bathroom door was open somehow.

"Isn't it closed tightly?"

Muttering something in confusion, she stepped out of the shower and locked the door again.

When she returned to the comfortable hot water, she found that the exquisite bathtub faucet next to her was running water...

Lu Ni was stunned for a moment, her face looking a little unnatural.

The faucet is broken?

Or is there some special psychic equipment that can automatically drain water?

She looked around suspiciously and found nothing unusual, so she walked to the bathtub and prepared to turn off the faucet. As she bent over, she suddenly felt a huge force on her wrist.

With a scream, Lu Ni fell into the large bathtub.

There was no pain from bumping into the ceramic. She seemed to be suspended in the bathtub, with only a soft and warm area beneath her...

Lu Ni's pupils narrowed instantly and she stood there in fear.

A strange touch came from the skin on her waist, and she screamed in fear. Countless spiritual power threads suddenly swung around her, drowning her voice with the sound of flowing water...

On the other side, Birdlaure went to Lorenzo's room.

Ever since he confirmed that Bai Jingyan and Qingtian were the ones hugging on the lion scorpion, Lorenzo felt as if a lead block was pressing on his chest, dull and depressed.

The feeling of loss and betrayal lingered in his heart, but he didn't want to blame Qingtian too much, so he could only attribute it to the change in her temperament after her promotion and Bai Jingyan's seduction.

When he arrived at the room, he came out of his emotions and calmly realized that something was fishy.

So he contacted the two again, Qingtian still didn't respond, but he connected with Bai Jingyan.

Bai Jingyan explained that something went wrong when Qingtian and he were exploring the Broken Canyon. After the two were controlled by the canyon demons, Emil's death was exposed.

The Canyon Clan threatened Qingtian with his life, asking him to transfer his soul to the Canyon Elder, continue Emil's status as the lord, and stabilize the order of the Broken Canyon...

If Lorenzo was waiting outside the Broken Canyon at this moment, Bai Jingyan's words would indeed make sense.

But by chance he happened to appear in the castle and witnessed some things with his own eyes.

Bai Jingyan's lies made Lorenzo feel cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

It is indeed possible that Qingtian was controlled, but he, Bai Jingyan, was obviously free, and it was obvious that the demons in the canyon were very respectful to him.

The luxurious carriage and the powerful and secretive lion scorpion are simply impossible to be used by prisoners.

Lorenzo suppressed his rage and asked Bai Jingyan in a deep voice, "You can communicate with me now. Have you left the canyon with Qingtian?"

Bai Jingyan paused and denied it, "Qingtian is still being held hostage in the Broken Canyon. The Canyon Clan hopes that we can persuade the royal family to withdraw their troops. They also want both sides to compensate the Merchant Alliance for the losses this time."

Lorenzo took a deep breath and laughed coldly.

In this life, Bai Jingyan eventually became the Demon Emperor of the past. His race, bloodline and selfishness made him regain the position of the demon clan.

"Losses? Do you want compensation in gold coins or a business policy that benefits them?"

Bai Jingyan said: "They want the forest area in the west of Dakjin Province connected to the upper Sadara area, as well as the slave market in the south."

"..."

Lorenzo was speechless for a while. After a long while, he asked in a low voice, "Are you sure you want the land and the slave market?"

Bai Jingyan frowned. After all, he had known Lorenzo for many years. From the other party's tone and attitude at this moment, he seemed to have guessed something.

It's a pity that the friendship between the two in this life will eventually turn into opposition...

"determine."

"If we get these, can Qingtian be released back?" Lorenzo asked.

Bai Jingyan replied with a sullen look: "After the Canyon Clan and the royal family have smoothly transferred the land management rights and confirmed the control of the slave market in the south, they will agree to release Qingtian."

Lorenzo's face was ferocious for a moment, "Bai Jingyan! Isn't this too much! The north and the south are about to form an alliance to negotiate peace. Does the demon clan want to destroy the tranquility and peace of Lanze?"

Bai Jingyan said calmly: "I thought you didn't want Qingtian to marry Tasriel either."

"..."
