The wind blew through the forest, bringing the whistle and soft sound of leaves. Xia Yi pulled out the snow-drinking knife and inserted it back into the sheath. During the strong period of practicing martial arts, there was no drop of sweat on his body.

He stood quietly and looked at the woman who was walking, "Miss Karin, are you okay?"

"No." Kailin shook her head, her long golden hair bloomed in the sun, and a beautiful smile appeared on her fair face: "After breakfast, I took a walk around casually. I didn't expect to find Xia, a weapon master famous Tatasia, who quietly hid here to practice martial arts alone."

He paused for a moment and spread his hands: "Of course, if you disturb you, I will apologize to you."

"No need, I just finished practicing." Xia Yi tied the snow-drinking knife and covered the dry head in secret while he was moving, so that women could not see it.

"Actually, I want to see it again."

"Um?"

"Your martial arts...at least in the Southern Continent, if my vision is not a problem."

Xia Yi, who had already left, stopped and turned around: "Thank you Miss Kailin for your praise, but at the banquet yesterday, I heard that you were just a weak woman who likes to study... I know so much about martial arts?"

"Aren't I just a weak person in front of the weapon master?"

Kalyn Obaidra is tall, wearing high heels almost the same height as Xia Yi. The effect of a long waisted skirt makes her look a little taller from a distance.

Walking in front of Xia Yi, his eyes staring at him: "So, as a weak woman, can I have the honor to invite you to have a walk together?"

"Sorry, I haven't had breakfast yet."

Xia Yi thought that there were still people waiting for him on the earth... Jiang Yu, Huizi, Zhou Jin, and immediately became less interested in talking to this woman in another world, and her figure roared away from here.

"…..." Kailin stood there silently, staring at her back with a burning look, lowered her head and looked at her lower body, "This person is really a bit... um...... mean?"

Then at the same time as he walked out of the woods, a voice sounded above the tower of the official residence diagonally: "Father!"

Alande walked into the door that the guard bowed and opened.

The light in the room was dark. From afar, Ikamain could see the square stone platform in front of him. Hearing his son's voice, he turned his face to the side, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and his expression was tired, as if he had not slept all night.

"Father, you didn't have a rest last night?" Alande approached. Since becoming a couple with Kalyn, his former slutty temperament has been restrained. At least for now, he will still know how to care about his father.

The old man shook his head and looked back at the stone platform and a sword placed on it.

It was a sword body that Elend had never seen before, full of evil long-horned skulls. After being reshaped, there was a trembling chill on it.

"This sword..."

Ikamain waved his hand and interrupted his son's words, and his voice was deep: "This is a bargaining chip that I specially prepared for the future of the Tilatima family. There are powerful inscriptions on it... But it has not been activated yet. I want you to take it to the upper country and dedicate it to the third prince to express our position."

"Why me?" Although Elend was curious about the sword and even had the urge to hold it in his hand, it was not very strong after all.

He turned his head to look at his father, and at the same time he met the sight he had cast. He hesitated for a moment, and his tone couldn't help but weaken: ".....Kelly is still here, can you not go?"

"no….."

Ikamain shook his head, raised his hand and pressed it on his son's shoulder, and looked at the sword on the stone platform together: "This sword is actually not important. What matters is our act of offering the sword, and you..."

The old man looked at his son and became gentle.

".........Child, you are the only heir of the Tilatima family. I have seen your recent changes and efforts. If it were the past, I wouldn't have let you go to the upper country in person, but now, you are qualified and have at least the attitude that one heir should have."

He patted his palms heavily: "In the future, the Tilatima family will rely on you to support it."

"yes……"

It has been a long time since Elend heard his father talk to him like this. The only impression he still has was the night his mother passed away many years ago.

However, since then, I have been in a woman and numb to the fact that my mother died. This behavior has disappointed my father Ikamain.

"......I will do my best." Alande's eyes were wet, and he stepped forward to hug his father, patted him gently on the back twice, "Your son will not disappoint you anymore."

In the following time, the father and son discussed their travel plans, formulated their routes, and took detailed steps one by one after another when they met the third prince.

It was not until outside the door that the housekeeper Tam came over to remind the two of them that it was late at night and had made a final decision temporarily. The old man sent his son down to have a meal, but Elend still asked the old man to leave first, stay for the final plan himself, and then instructed the craftsmen to create the most exquisite wooden box and other tedious things.

After all, the old man had been staying up all night, so it was appropriate for his son to do the rest.

Unable to resist the child, Ikamain left the room with the butler with a compromise smile.

The circling stone steps sounded, and Tam followed the old man, looking at the thin back in front of him, a little worried.

"Marquis, would it be a bit risky to let Lord Alande go north with that sword alone?"

"If you want to fly, you have to learn to face difficulties alone." Ikamain smiled and looked back at the old friend: "What's more, he is from the Tilatima family, so he has to learn even more. Although it's a bit late now, he still has to go on the right path."

Tam nodded in understanding, and then laughed: "Lord Elend's recent changes seem to make the Marquis feel very good."

"Of course."

The old man walking in front did not deny it. When he walked on the stone steps to the second floor, he ordered the housekeeper: "Take dinner to the study. I still have some official duties and I won't go down to eat before I finish it."

The skylight outside was completely dark, and the wall lights in the corridor illuminated the road ahead. Tam received the order to leave. The old man turned to the corridor on the other side with his hands, then stopped in front of a certain room, pushed the door and walked in.

At the end of the corridor, a one-eye was quietly watching all this in the shadow of the corner.

Then walk out.

"Good opportunity..."

Xia Yi's voice whispered, pressing against the hilt of the snow-drinking knife under the cloak, walked forward, staring at the closed door, and his figure walked through the light range of wall lamps on the wall, and his handsome face became obviously extinguished as the lights came and went.

Just about ten meters away, on Xia Yi's right hand side, the door suddenly opened, his eyes turned, but Karin, with a blonde hair draped over her shoulders, was standing by the door.

The moment she saw Xia Yi standing at her door, she first showed doubt in her eyes, and then... she burst into a look of surprise.

Next second.

The woman suddenly reached out to grab the arm of Xia Yiwei. In order not to cause any movement, Xia Yi did not dare to break free. However, he was then pulled into the room.
