After Joyce finished speaking, the room was quiet for a second. Bai Yixing chuckled softly, stood up and opened the lid of the untouched teapot on the table. The refreshing fragrance of roses gradually filled the entire room.

He made a cup of tea slowly and served it in a delicate porcelain cup. Then he said calmly: "What do you want to do to embarrass her?"

Pei Ji snorted and said, "What about you, Speaker Bai, do you want to get involved and compete fairly with everyone present?"

The room was stagnant for a second, and the ferocious auras belonging to multiple forces collided violently in an instant. As if they were afraid of being noticed by outsiders, they quickly restrained their voices.

Pei Ji took out a dagger from his inner pocket and played with it casually with his slender fingers: "The Bai family, the Jing family, whether they are powerful or distinguished, there are many families who want to marry you, and there are also purifiers among them.

A few, Speaker Bai, you have many choices."

Bai Yixing curled his lips: "I'm sorry, although I have not deliberately avoided communication with women, I have always kept a distance. I don't care what they think, because I have only one choice from beginning to end."

His green eyes looked at Pei Ji, who was like a leopard arching his back and ready to bite his prey: "It's you, Deputy Commander Pei, in what capacity are you warning me, her first protector?"

?”

Pei Ji made a movement in his hand, and the cold dagger came out instantly. It stuck on the table with a "ding" sound, and the tail kept shaking, as if it had punctured a balloon filled with jealousy.

The atmosphere exploded instantly. Joyce stood up suddenly, his whole body turned into a blazing flame. He leaned closer to Pei Ji: "Pei Ji, I don't think the competition is fair now. She has always only competed with you."

Let’s talk and treat you as family members. If I talk about my past experiences, I did do something inappropriate, and she may have a grudge against me.”

"But if I met her first, I would also..." Joyce paused. I would also give everything and never look back.

With a "pop" sound, Jing Yi placed the sword at his waist heavily on the tea table. He glanced at the confrontation with expressionless people and said sternly: "That's enough, she is no longer a child and will make her own decisions.

"

Everyone's eyes focused on him. Joyce turned around and gritted her teeth: "Decision? She is only seventeen years old. Even if she turns eighteen next month, she is still far from the age to choose a fiancée! Don't think I don't know the government.

What are the council and the council thinking? They just want to trap her in their hands."

Jing Yi sat where he was, his expression never changing in the face of questioning.

Pei Ji stood up and approached him with slow steps: "Marshal Jing Yi, you should be very happy to see this happen. After all, when it comes to betrothed families, few can match yours."

Pei Ji stood in front of Jing Yi and looked at him condescendingly. His yellow jade eyes almost turned into vertical pupils: "Marshal, it is undeniable that your face is indeed deceptive. It should be difficult for a girl to resist your approach. The more you get closer,

If you are unattainable in front of outsiders, the more they want to know you and the more they will be attracted to you."

Jing Yi's face was as cold as frost: "I don't think I have anything to confuse."

Pei Ji approached: "Moyan is very innocent, but you used her respect for you to get close to her. Do you dare to say you didn't?"

"Fuck, what did you do when I didn't know about it? I will fight with you!" Joyce roared.

Bai Yixing: "I think your voice can be lowered."

The private room that originally had a great view has long been deserted. The sea in the distance is slowly rippling with waves and dotted with stars, as if to tell the story of this tug-of-war between multiple people.

Duan Moyan washed her hands, but didn't dare to go back to the room.

This weird atmosphere was consistent with the accident in the dream, and I was scared.

She walked along the ornately decorated corridor, and the voices of the crowd could be heard not far away. Many well-dressed men gathered together, and they were crowded and talking.

"Did you hear that someone just saw the Lord coming?"

"With whom?"

"See for yourself..." The crowd made a gap, and the person leaned over to take a look. Through the cover of flowers and plants, they happened to be able to see what was going on in the box.

"Those people are actually sitting together?"

"Holy crap! What are they doing? Are they having a meeting?"

A man with obvious military background was sweating coldly: "Oh my god, I feel so stressed. I can meet my boss even if I come to have a meal on vacation. Who knew that Marshal Jing and Speaker Bai would come to such a place? I think the look in their eyes

Want to eat people."

"What else are you eating? Hurry up and go away..." The crowd quickly retreated like driven reindeer. Within a few breaths, the corridor was empty.

Duan Moyan looked confused. She walked gently to the wall of the box and listened. It was quite quiet inside, and it didn't look like a fight was about to begin.

She went to the door again and took a look. Several people were sitting quietly around the dining table. Although their faces were quite stern, the atmosphere was still quite peaceful...right?

"What are you doing?" Duan Moyan walked in. She looked at the tablecloth that had a hole in it for no apparent reason. It was obviously fine just now.

Bai Yixing smiled and handed the brewed scented tea to her: "It's nothing, we just had a casual chat."

Duan Moyan took the tea cup and thanked him, and quietly looked at the people around him. Bai Yixing was just the right amount of gentleness and gentleman, Jing Yi was always as cold as a millennium, Pei Ji had no expression on his face and lowered his head to wipe a dagger, Murphy and the other three were all

Looks weird.

Among these people, the one with the most visible emotion was Joyce. He was so straight-faced at the moment that he almost flashed the flames in his eyes into the faces of the other men, so something must have happened between them just now.

"By the way." Duan Moyan suddenly remembered something, "I received an email two days ago, informing me that a purifier conferment ceremony will be held on the 1st of next month as an exception. The email is signed by the Federal State Government Office. I think it's the same as

The last live TV broadcast was almost the same, so I forgot to tell you."

After two seconds of silence, Bai Yixing said softly: "Unlike that time, the Purifier Conferment Ceremony only happens once a year. It is broadcast live globally through the Federal Star Network. All purifiers who meet the conditions will attend, and this year's ceremony has already been held.

It’s been held.”

"But I've only just entered school, so I'm still far from qualified, right?" Duan Moyan was confused.

Bai Yixing nodded, his eyes became as dark as cold pool water, and he said slowly: "That's why we're making an exception."

"No matter what, don't worry, we will protect you."

Duan Moyan hadn't remembered the other identity of this grand ceremony, but she found that after Bai Yixing spoke, the atmosphere at the table became extra tense. Joyce seemed even more angry, and he punched the table.

, breathing hot air from his nostrils.

She knew that Joyce's gene was that of a ferocious eagle, and the fierceness of this coo was very scary. She was afraid that he would not be able to control himself, so she quickly handed him the entire fruit plate in front of her: "Joyce, eat more!

"

The latter was stunned for a moment, and just then the waiter came to serve the dishes. All kinds of exquisite meals were served on porcelain plates. The atmosphere on the table started to flow, with dishes being picked up and hot wine being heated.

liquor.

"The stir-fried vegetables you like to eat," Pei Ji said.

"The peach blossom honey stuffed here is pretty good, would you like some?" Bai Yixing smiled.

"Don't eat cold food." Jing Yi said.

Seeing that he couldn't help, Joyce could only say dryly: "More, eat more meat!"

This weird dinner went on like this wonderfully, and the men who usually dominated each other when they were alone could actually get along harmoniously as long as she was around.

Bai Yixing drank in silence. The purer the genes and the higher the talent, the stronger their abilities. To a certain extent, it is reflected in the ferocity of their genetic bloodline: the king of the sky, the top of the food chain on the grassland, the overlord of the ocean.

Under normal circumstances, anyone who is treated as irrelevant by them will be expelled from their sphere of influence. This is also the reason why many beasts act alone, unless there are trustworthy partners around them, or other people in the territory have surrendered.

In more private territory, the only person they can accept is their partner.

Bai Yixing looked at the bulging-cheeked girl beside him and the men on the table who were secretly competing to pick her food, with a glint of light flashing in his green eyes.

With the strength of a few of them, they are still unable to shake the decision of the Federation and Parliament. They will definitely take advantage of the opportunity of selecting a betrothed to firmly hold the young Pure Master in their hands.

But there are no desperate situations in the world, only desperate people.

The school was on holiday the next day, and Duan Moyan finally didn't have to deal with teachers from the council, various visiting children of powerful people, and men vying for beauty.

The weather was sunny that day, and Ms. Reina and her attendants were cleaning the villa.

Duan Moyan always remembered the weird look in the mid-level purifier's eyes in the military camp yesterday, and the inexplicable opening of the prison door. Her sixth sense told her that this place was very dangerous, and there was a secret force spreading, but

But she couldn't catch or see it.

Feeling depressed, Duan Moyan stared at the gardening cart parked on the garden path and had some ideas.

One of the attendants broke the vase, and Ms. Reina criticized him severely for a long time. After a while, she turned around and suddenly realized: "Where is Lord Jing?!"

The room was empty, and she disappeared without knowing when.

At this moment, Duan Moyan was riding the three-wheeled gardening cart, running wildly on the avenue of Bauhinia Garden. This is a residence specially set up for senior purifiers and above. It covers a large area and has few people. It can take half a day.

Can't meet anyone.

And her goal is the villa that can be seen not far away - the house of Jingzhu Chaojuan.

Every day when she passed by from afar, the door of the villa was closed. Occasionally, attendants would clean the courtyard and plant flowers, but she had never seen the mysterious Great Purifier appear, even once.

Duan Moyan now really wants to meet Lord Chaojuan, she always feels that this person has many secrets hidden in him.

The scenery was clear, a breeze blew through the flower fields outside the villa, and there was no one there. Duan Moyan looked around warily, slowly parked the gardening cart, and approached the villa on foot.

Her eyesight was very good, so she could clearly see the bird's nest under the eaves of the villa, and the many half-rotten wild fruits that fell on the sidewalk in front of the door. The translucent brown window glass made it difficult for her to see clearly inside, but it seemed

There was indeed a figure moving in the room.

Duan Moyan walked quickly, her hands just touched the doorknob and wanted to knock on the door.

"Master Jing, please don't come any closer." A servant in gray clothes suddenly appeared, quietly as if hiding in the darkness, "If you continue to move forward, I will call the guards."

Duan Moyan frowned, but still refused to leave: "What are you afraid of? I will not harm Chaojuan Jingzhu, I just came to visit her."

The man in gray just lowered his head: "Ms. Chaojuan is old and is recovering from a serious illness. I cannot see you in person. Please forgive me."

"Get out of the way, I'll just take a look from a distance. If necessary, I can ask Chairman Bai if there is more appropriate medical treatment..."

As soon as she took a step forward, the servant in gray stretched out his hand to stop her. His face was blurred and his voice was low: "Please go back, Master Jing, you can't walk in."

Duan Moyan was surprised by the strange aura on this person's body, and subconsciously took half a step back. At this time, Reina and the others finally found her, and everyone gathered around her to get into the car.

"Jingzhu, why are you here? If you are discovered, we will be punished."

"It's nothing, just wandering around." Duan Moyan said, she looked back and saw that the servant in gray clothes had disappeared, and Chaojuan's villa returned to the dead silence of no one.

Returning to her residence, the public terminal in the living room was playing "Daily Morning News". This program was one of her favorites. It talked about current affairs news, natural disasters in various continents, state affairs interviews between heads of state, and pictures.

The wind is more serious.

Who told other programs with higher ratings to revolve around purifiers, such as xx purifier giving birth to a second child, xx purifier cheating on her fiancée, and other scandals that Duan Moyan couldn't arouse interest in.

She couldn't find Chaojuan, and she felt depressed, so she picked up a cucumber and gnawed it like she was venting her anger.

The terminal projected a virtual screen, in which the host was broadcasting news, with the Area 1 Azimuth Tower behind him in the background.

"Recent seasonal heavy rains and sudden floods and geological disasters have occurred in the Yangtze River Basin in District 7. Relevant departments in various cities have resolutely implemented the instructions and deployments of the government offices and made every effort to carry out emergency rescue and rescue work in flooded areas. It is reported that disaster villages in District 7 may be relocated

To the vicinity of District 6.”

The host turned over the newsprint and said, "Next, I will give you the latest news about the Oviwe Asian rebels."

"In response to the frequent actions of the rebels in recent months, Marshal Stewart, the commander-in-chief of the military, delivered a speech at a meeting on counter-terrorism and counter-violence issues, claiming that the military will adopt a more severe attitude and will never tolerate crime. Recently dispatched

The special operations team of the 21st Legion Hunting Legion has carried out arrests of rebel members. Although their central base has not yet been discovered, dozens of members have been captured and brought to justice."

Next, the screen behind the host displayed mugshots of men wearing striped prison uniforms, all of whom were internal members of the rebel army.

Duan Moyan took a second look and saw that most of the people were concentrated in areas 4-8. To her surprise, these people were not all vicious death row prisoners, but there were actually a few talented people who seemed to be gentle and gentle.

Duan Moyan was thinking when a shrill call suddenly came from outside.

"Master!!!" Lidya and Nanmu stumbled in and fell in front of her bamboo chair.

"What's wrong with you?" Duan Moyan was startled and quickly helped the person up.

Nanmu just sobbed and covered her face while crying, while Lidya's face turned red and her face was filled with indignation.

"Did you hear that on the 1st of next month, the government will make an exception and hold the second purifier conferment ceremony of the year for you!" Lidia roared, and Duan Moyan even saw her small tonsils.

She said: "I know, someone notified me by email."

Lydia had a shocked + petrified expression on her face, and the two of them seemed to have seen a ghost.

"Don't you care at all?" Nanmu asked softly.

Duan Moyan noticed something was wrong: "Isn't it just a live broadcast, answering some questions with the host, I know all of this."

Lidia shook her head, with a sad expression on her face: "On the surface, this is the purifier conferment ceremony, the graduation ceremony for qualified purifiers, but in fact we call it the purifier fiancé selection ceremony, and the council wants to select you.

Betrothed! How could they do this to you!"

"What?" Duan Moyan opened her mouth wide, and the cucumber fell to the ground. It turned out that this was what they were arguing about that day.
Chapter completed!
