Chapter 106 106: Smart subordinates

When Shui Zhan came to the main hall, he understood everything that had happened. Zhu Zhuqing's description of the shocking act of his second brother killing Haotian Douluo made him feel helpless. It turned out that he was really trying to protect this child!

As for the attack on Shuitian by another elder of Wuhun Palace, he couldn't say anything, so he only kept his hatred in his heart.

On the surface, he arranged the dinner with Sylvia Lin and Shui Shichang calmly.

Several attempts to liven up the atmosphere by water fights in the banquet hall ended in failure.

The younger son, who is not yet six years old, has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes on his round little face, and he has inherited his mother's appearance very well.

The child looked directly at the three strangers he had never seen before, his little head shaking and he didn't know what he was thinking.

There were neither too many nor too few people attending this dinner party today.

Shui Zhan and Sylvia Lin were naturally present, but his second wife Gu Yu was not here. In order to take care of Gu Yu's mood, he brought his son.

The three brothers Shui Shirong, Shui Shichang and Shui Shisheng and their respective direct descendants are also Shuitian's cousins.

After introducing the identities of the three guests, the Shui family couldn't help but be shocked. Zhu Zhuqing and Sophie were nothing, but this Spiritual Kite Douluo made everyone present dare not speak nonsense.

The atmosphere was always dull. None of the three guests showed a smile. At most, they barely curled their lips. No one took a few bites of the sumptuous food, but they drank a lot of specialty wines from the Northern Territory.

There was still work to be done to save face. Considering that this was Shuitian's family after all, Lingyuan Douluo and Zhu Zhuqing were not in a hurry to ask him how he was doing now.

In the evening, Sylvia Lin arranged for them to stay in the guest room. Out of respect for Lingyuan Douluo, a powerful titled Douluo, her room was the best and the farthest from other guest rooms.

As the saying goes, guests do as they please, Lingyuan Douluo couldn't say anything about it, and she was already used to being treated specially, otherwise what would be the point of cultivating to a titled Douluo?

Since she drank a lot of wine at the dinner, in order to numb her spirit, she went to bed early without using her soul power to dissolve the alcohol.

Even a titled Douluo can't stand such mental exhaustion, and now he can finally have a good sleep.

The same was true for Zhu Zhuqing on the other side. She and Sophie were arranged in a guest room very close to the inner house. The room was more luxurious than the one where Buling Yuan Douluo lived, but it was a bit more homey.

Zhu Zhuqing, who also didn't use her soul power to relieve her hangover, also lay down early. She was too tired, whether it was her body, mind or spirit. She was really tired from this journey.

The alcohol made her sleep full of images of her brief relationship with Shuitian, and her sleeping face looked a little painful.

Unlike these two people who just fell asleep without caring about anything, Shuitian came home and asked them to fulfill a wish, so they could sleep peacefully.

But Sophie couldn't sleep, so she used her soul power to evaporate the alcohol after leaving the banquet hall.

Zhu Zhuqing can be accommodated here. Even if Shuitian dies, she will still be the student whom Shuitian protects with his life. Her treatment in this Shui family will not be bad.

But what should Sophie do? From what she observed at the dinner, the Shui family seems a bit exclusive. Can she stay here? Do you want to continue wandering around the world?

This room is very warm. The heating equipment of Shui's house is magical. The heat is transmitted to every house through pipes. In order to balance the heat, they also installed temperature controllers in each room, and adjusted the suitable temperature in advance for guests to check in.

After many days of being exposed to wind and sun, sleeping in the wilderness and suddenly living in such a comfortable environment, people will feel inexplicably sleepy.

Sophie, who was immersed in her own life choices, was not sleepy at all.

This also made her aware that someone was approaching from outside.

Very alertly, he quickly got out of bed, dressed neatly, and quickly came to the door to open it first.

When the door opened, she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she met Sylvia Yunshu's somewhat surprised look.

The temperature at night was very low, and the mistress of the Shui family was only wearing a light dress. Her cultivation level was probably similar to hers or even much higher than hers.

"Madam, what's the matter so late?" Sophie's eyes were full of vigilance. She had been in the soul master world for so many years, so she always kept a vigilant heart.

Sylvia smiled awkwardly and said: "I haven't slept yet. I just have something to ask you. Can you let me in to talk about it?"

She has a gentle attitude and has no airs about being a host.

This made Sophie's face soften a little. After some calculations, she stepped aside and said with a serious expression: "Madam, please come in. I wonder what kind of important event requires your visit late at night? Do you want me to inform His Majesty Ling Yuan?" br>


Hearing this, Sylvia Lin couldn't help but look at her a few times, walked up to her and nodded with satisfaction: "He's right, you are really smart."

"Him?" Sophie's beautiful eyes flashed, and she quickly closed the door after Sylvia Lin entered the room.

"Mr. Shuitian is awake?"

He has a smart mind, quick reactions, good looks, and a good figure. There is nothing wrong with him except that he looks a bit like Gu Yu.

Sylvia Lin seemed to be a different person after entering the room, with an inexplicable aura that made it difficult to look directly at him.

For some reason, Sophie felt scared. This Mrs. Shui's entire body exuded a cold aura that would keep strangers away.

Sylvia Lin walked to a chair aside and sat down before saying: "Xiaotian has gone home now. I wonder what your plans are for your future?"

Seeing her condescending look, as if she was questioning her subordinates, Sophie's brain was racing to analyze the meaning of her words, and she thought that Shuitian must have woken up, and she had something to worry about.

A flattering smile suddenly appeared on his face and he bowed slightly: "To be honest with you, Madam, the Nu family is originally from the Star Luo Empire. Due to some reasons, I have been wandering for more than ten years without a fixed place. Fortunately, I met Mr. Shuitian and stayed with him. Come to the Shui family. If Madam doesn’t mind that the Nu family has a foreign surname, I would be willing to become a member of the Shui family.”

After hearing her words, Sylvia Lin didn't rush to inquire about her past experience, but said with some emotion: "It is true that the Shui family does not welcome people with foreign surnames, but you are different. You came with him."

As he spoke, Sylvia Lin stood up again inexplicably, and an invisible aura filled the air.

"I might as well tell you that this Shui family is the strongest family in the Northern Territory because of his presence. His will is the will of the entire Shui family."

Sophie couldn't understand what she said, so she immediately raised her hands and said sincerely: "May I ask Madam, sir, how he arranged for me? I will definitely follow your instructions."

She shouldn't have called herself concubine, but it made sense because of the title Shuitian.

"You are really smart. Based on your age, I should call you sister, but that's it. Xiaotian will not force anyone. Since you are willing to join the Shui family, I will give you a second choice today. Please listen." Sylvia Lin didn't want to talk directly about Shuitian's arrangements. Some things were better decided by herself.

Hearing this, Sophie straightened her face and said with a very serious expression: "I am ashamed of myself. Madam, if you have any arrangements, just ask."

The blue light in Sylvia's eyes flickered slightly, with a somewhat fake smile on his face as he said, "Would you like to follow me? Follow me instead of simply joining the Shui family!"

Follow her? Sophie was a little confused. What did she, the eldest lady of the Shui family, want to do? The entire Shui family belonged to her, so why did she want to recruit her alone?

Suddenly she had an idea, and she realized that Shuitian must have been responsible for more than just her. Why wasn't the head of the Shui family coming to recruit her, the Gaolie Soul King?

Thinking of this, she bowed sharply and said: "I have always wanted to join the Shui family, and this is also what Mr. Wang means. It is my blessing that Madam can take a fancy to me. From now on, Sophie is willing to work hard for Madam!" ”

"He didn't misjudge you, and I didn't misjudge you either. Now I might as well tell you that it was his intention to let you follow me. I wanted to know if you had other ideas. I'm sorry." Sylvia Lin apologized very insincerely. The smile on his face became much more sincere. Hearing this, Sophie secretly rejoiced at her own cleverness. It would have been impossible for anyone else to react under the pressure of Sylvia Yunshu's aura.

In this case, she simply bowed again and said: "My wife, Sophie, the level 58 attack spirit king, the martial spirit Jade Mantis, I stand up today and am willing to give everything and even my life for my wife and Mr. Shuitian!"

Having sworn allegiance, you must seize the opportunity.

She has been around for so many years, and there are many soul master families who want to recruit her, but she doesn't like those small families, and the big families are too troublesome.

She is very satisfied with this Shui family, or she knows in her heart that Shuitian will repay her, and she will live a very comfortable life in this Shui family.

There is nothing wrong with being loyal to this lady, it is better than being respectful to a group of stinky men every day.

Even though she was so solemn, Sylvia Lin's expression also became serious, he took out a light blue token and handed it over.

"I am a level 74 agility attack type war spirit saint, a martial spirit spirit-eyed ice bird. From now on, you only need to obey the orders of me and Xiaotian, and we will be responsible for your life and life."

Her words were like thunder, especially those about level 74 Soul Saint. Sophie really didn't expect that the lady she was loyal to, who looked younger than herself, actually had the level of Soul Saint! This Shui family is truly terrifying!

Sophie took the token in a daze, and turned it over inadvertently.

One side has golden water characters surrounded by patterns, and the other side has layers of water patterns wrapped around six-sided ice flowers.

"This is the second-class token of the Shui family in your hand. With this, your status is equivalent to the elder of the Shui family. It will be much easier for you to do things in the future." Sylvia Yunshu simply explained to her that this token is still water God had given her two tokens. He had two tokens, but he could not use them as they represented his status as an elder.

"Thank you Madam for giving such a precious token. I am deeply grateful. I will do my best to assist you and Mr. Shuitian from now on." Sophie knelt down on one knee with the token in both hands. The person she was kneeling on was her family head, who was also kneeling here. A young soul saint.

She was so sensible, always talking about her and Shuitian, which made Sylvia feel extremely comfortable.

This is how it should be, the Shui family should belong to Shuitian and her, and it should always be like this. He is invincible externally, and she is his strongest backing by properly arranging everything in the family.

However, her parents deceived her back then, or the Shui family deceived the Ye family. Who would have thought that the person who would become the head of the Shui family would be Shui Zhan instead of Shuitian!

Without much strength, he reached out and helped her up. Although Sylvia Lin was happy, he did not forget about business.

After she put the token away solemnly, she said: "There is something you need to do right now."

Come to life so soon? No wonder she was so eager to recruit him. Sophie said calmly: "Madam, no matter what your instructions, I will definitely do it to your satisfaction."

"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal." Sylvia Yunshu's eyes told her to relax, and he paused for a moment before continuing: "How much do you know about that Spirit Kite Douluo?"

Sophie replied without thinking: "I have known her not long ago, but I am sure that she cares about Mr. Shuitian. She even confessed her love in public when Ju Douluo of the Wuhun Palace attacked Mr. Shuitian!"

This confirmed Sylvia's guess. She knew that Shuitian would have Yingying Yanyan by her side, but she didn't expect that there would be such a titled Douluo.

"Xiaotian will die." Sylvia Yunshu said calmly, as if he didn't care that Lingyuan Douluo liked Shuitian or Shuitian's life or death.

Her expression made Sophie, who reacted quickly, blurt out: "Fake your own death to escape?"

Secretly thinking that this woman is a bit too smart, Sylvia nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too. He may be worried about summoning the Haotian Sect to take revenge, or he may be worried that the Wuhun Palace will not give up and he will disappear no matter what. some time.”

"What do you mean, Madam? We want to hide this from Ling Yuan, Your Majesty?" Sophie asked tentatively.

Sylvia Lin nodded expressionlessly. She was so smart. Such a smart woman was a double-edged sword. It seemed that she would have to use both kindness and power to control her in the future.

"That's what he meant. He didn't want His Majesty to know that he was still alive, and at the same time, he didn't want to hide the child Zhu Zhuqing." Sylvia Yunshu said seriously.

"Do you want to tell Zhuqing and hide it from Lingyuan? It's easy. Madam, please rest assured and leave it to me." There was a smile on Sophie's lips. Her first task was to submit a petition, and she happened to be the first one. The task is very simple and she will do it perfectly.

"Then thank you for your hard work. The sooner this matter is done, the better. If anything happens, please contact me at any time." Sylvia Yunshu smiled with satisfaction. As expected, what Xiaotian said was right. His arrangements were very good and reasonable.

Sophie nodded and said nervously: "Madam, I dare to ask Mr. when he will recover. I think Zhuqing will be very happy if he knows that Mr.'s life is not in danger, but I think there is still an approximate time when he can recover. So that she can feel at ease.”

This confused Sylvia Lin. In fact, no one in the entire Shui family knew when he would recover.

After hesitating for a moment, he still shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. He has never been injured so seriously before. I'm afraid it won't be very short~"

Hearing this, Sophie felt depressed. It turned out that she had just asked the question for herself. It was rare that her heart was moved and she couldn't help but want to care.

There was some disappointment on his face and he said: "That's true, sir, he is too seriously injured! Hey, madam, don't worry, I will go to Zhuqing's place to make arrangements tonight. I believe Ling Yuan Mian will look for sir tomorrow morning. It's better to get things done as soon as possible." It’s not too late.”

This is indeed the case. After thinking about it, Sylvia Lin thought that it was very possible, and immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I will go with you. She may not completely believe your own words."

Although she didn't want her to follow him, she had no reason to refuse. Sophie said with a smile on her face: "This would be best if it doesn't disturb Madam's rest. Madam, please~"

"No need to disturb me, you don't have to worry about time if you want to find me in the future." Sylvia Lin gave a meaningful reminder and walked out first.

Sophie's pupils dilated slightly as she recalled the meaning of this sentence.

It turns out that this lady does not live with the head of the Shui family, and she may secretly like Mr. Shuitian like herself.

………

Early the next morning

After breakfast, the three of them gathered outside the main hall as agreed, and no one was late.

Before entering the palace, I heard a lot of noise and some sad cries coming from inside.

The three of them had the same cold and sad look on their faces, and their thoughts were completely different. They walked into the hall side by side and accepted everyone's attention.

There are a lot of people here today, and at a glance, there must be more than two hundred people on both sides.

Fortunately, this place is spacious enough and is the center of government affairs and power of the Shui family.

Most of the Water Family members have sad faces. They vary in age, and the only thing that unites them is their clothing.

The six-sided ice flower representing the family emblem was embroidered on the left chest, and the snow-white soul master robes filling the hall seemed to be holding a funeral.
