"What's wrong? Our dear heartthrob, the pride of the Ingrid family, the pearl of the Thorosbor Plain, why are you here alone? You must know that many people are attending the banquet because of your reputation.

They are waiting very impatiently down there right now."

Just when Lilith was doubting her own charm, a boy behind her sounded with a hint of ridicule.

Lilith didn't even look back and said impatiently: "Archibald, can you please stop being so sinister!"

Perhaps because she hadn't changed for a while, Lilith still used Xia Mandarin when she said this.

This made Archibald raise his eyebrows obviously. He quickly thought of something and said with a smile in Xia Mandarin:

"It seems that our Miss Lilith accidentally met a charming man from the Eastern Xia Kingdom. Oh! I heard some noise coming from the next door before. I think it is a new neighbor. But this new neighbor seems to be interested in you, Lilith.

Charming didn't care and declined the party invitation. So our lovely Lilith is suffering from self-doubt."

"Archibald! If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute."

Finally, Lilith turned around and glared at him.

She was not surprised at all that the man in front of her could grasp the small clues and correctly deduce everything before.

Because the other party’s performance in the past was even more outstanding than it is now.

"Who are the invited people?"

Lilith quickly returned to normal. Unlike when she was warm and generous when facing Chen Jing, she seemed to be a different person at this moment, becoming as noble and elegant as a white swan.

At this time, he asked in an unusually calm tone:

"Nothing that should have come came, but a lot of things that shouldn't have come."

When he said this, Archibald looked at Lilith's expression with great interest.

Sure enough, Lilith frowned, sighed slightly and said, "Didn't William, Brooke, and Balu come?"

Archibald shook his head: "You know, no one would risk offending the Augusto family by coming here. They are not fools, they know your thoughts very well."

"It seems that my charm has been greatly reduced." Lilith patted her face and sighed.

Archibald looked at Lilith. This pearl of the Thorosbor Plain lived up to her reputation. Her skin was as white and smooth as Artemis, the goddess of the moon, without a trace of wrinkles. Her facial features were absolutely perfect, carved out of the golden ratio.

.

No wonder the first heir of the Augusto family went crazy for her and paid so many benefits to achieve the marriage contract.

Pity.

"Lilith, you should know very well that people like William, Brooke, and Balu never put personal relationships first. Family, interests, and glory are the key. Although Lilith you are extremely charming, these people

There is no shortage of women, even if you are more outstanding, it is not enough to turn them against the Augusto family."

Facing Archibald's sharp answer, Lilith remained silent for a long time.

Finally, she said with unwillingness and resentment: "That's why I hate this cold and heartless family."

"This is not the right attitude, Lilith."

Archibald shook his index finger and said with a half-smile.

"Without your family, you wouldn't have achieved what you have today. If you really wanted to be born into an ordinary family, you would still be struggling for three meals a day. Maybe you would still inherit your beauty, but excessive beauty would not exist without you.

With the help of strength, it can only bring more trouble. Maybe you will become the plaything of a big shot; or you may be working hard to climb up, ambitiously trying to capture the hearts of people like me, and successfully marry into a wealthy family; of course

, the greatest possibility is that you have sunk in an ancient industry."

"So after saying so much, please return the heroic and wise Lilith like Athena. The current little lady-like Lilith is too strange and ridiculous."

"Archibald, you are really annoying."

Facing Archibald's heart-wrenching words, Lilith's face changed slightly at first, but she quickly regained her composure, as if she was not the one being mocked.

In the end, she just replied lightly, then changed the topic and said:

"I have to say, Archibald, you are an incredible talent in our circle. Even if your martial arts talent is not the most outstanding, I think among so many people, you must be the one who has lived the longest and the most nourishing life in the end."

"It is a great honor for me to be praised by someone as proud as you, Lilith." Archibald gracefully performed a knight's salute and replied gracefully.

"Perhaps, our relationship can take a further step?" Lilith said suddenly with an inexplicable smile on her lips.

In an instant, Archibald pretended to surrender and said: "Lilith, don't make such a joke. Even William and the others are not willing to get into this trouble, let alone me, whose status is not as good as theirs. And I already have

My fiancée is also in a very good relationship, so please put aside these unrealistic thoughts."

"Is this why you dare to come here?" Lilith walked towards the window, looking straight outside and said meaningfully,

"For people like you and me, family is both a help and an obstacle. If you don't break all these constraints, no matter how talented you are, your final achievements will only be at the same level as your ancestors, or even far away.

Not as good as."

"It is my greatest wish to be as famous as my ancestors in the biography." After Archibald finished speaking calmly, he then asked,

"So this is the reason why you are opposed to marriage? After all, Arthur Augusto is absolutely worthy of you in terms of talent, appearance and power. Ninety-nine percent of the time he would agree to it if it were another woman."

"Can't it be that I don't like him?" Lilith turned around and said with a playful smile.

Archibald did not ask any more questions, came to Lilith, followed her gaze to Chen Jing's house opposite, and said thoughtfully:

"Are you so urgent already? This is not your style."

"It's just a matter of interest, there's nothing to lose." Lilith finished speaking with a nonchalant expression. She walked to the closet with seductive cat steps and continued to choose clothes while saying, "After all, none of our forces have the ability to ask for help."

Xia Guo reaches out his hand."

"How strong is he?" Archibald became interested.

"Not even mid-level. But the danger he poses to me is greater than yours." Lilith replied without thinking.

Archibald did not refute Lilith's evaluation, but he knew that Lilith was not only famous for her beauty, but also for her outstanding martial arts talent. At the age of twenty-one, she was already a fourth-level warrior, and was about to go one step further.

"To be praised like this by Lilith, it seems that he is a young genius. It's just that water from afar cannot quench his thirst for nearness."

Archibald looked at Lily with some regret and said:

"As your nominal fiancé, Mr. Arthur will be here soon. I don't think I need to say more about his purpose."

Lilith paused slightly when she heard this, obviously it was the first time she heard this news.

She frowned slightly and said, "The ghost is still lingering, it seems I have to leave earlier."

After saying that, he issued an ultimatum to Archibald: "I'm going to change my clothes. I don't mind if you want to see it."

"It's just that I can't bear the consequences." Archibald quickly answered, made a standard salute, and turned to leave.

"Augusto!"

In the room where there was only one person, Lilith's deep voice lingered for a long time.

Next door, Chen Jing, who was already lying on the bed, felt that the two people watching him finally left, and finally relaxed.

He couldn't understand why he met so many strange people on his first trip.

But no matter what, you still need to keep your spirits up.

After all, tomorrow he has to personally see the long-famous southern part of Yanzhou, the hunting ground where countless corpses are buried.

Soon, Chen Jing slowly closed his eyes.
