I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Lloyd never imagined that the "gardener" in front of him, who looked gentle, amiable, easy to talk to and had an artistic temperament, was the "butcher" he had been trying so hard to deal with.

This is so different from the image in the dream——

Extraordinary people don't dream often, so when they do, their dreams often have some direction to reality and are often considered to be some kind of 'omen' or 'insight'.

Therefore, Weiya in the dream is like a gentle and lovely little wife, foreshadowing and representing the relationship between the two; and the monster-like "butcher" represents the obstacles and pressures between the two, which is indeed consistent with the actual situation.

But Lloyd really didn't expect that the real image of his father-in-law would be so different from the one in his dream.

Logically speaking, as a fallen noble, he should be the kind of person who is arrogant and mean, with a long nose on the top of his head, and only looks at people out of the corners of his eyes, right?

It turns out that I didn't see any such stereotypes at all, so much so that when I was pulling at his wall yesterday, I really mistook him for a gardener...

And Wei Ya's father also noticed the visible embarrassment on Lloyd's body, and continued:

"The wall of my house is quite high. Did you fall yesterday?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Lloyd was choked and coughed dryly, then quickly waved his hands.

"No...no..."

Wei Ya, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to rush over to protect her boyfriend, but her own father cleverly moved sideways and stopped her behind him. He continued:

"Okay, no more jokes, let's get to know each other formally. Outsiders like to call me Lord Rand, but if it's you, you can call me Uncle Rand."

"Ah... OK, my name is Lloyd, it's an honor to meet you, Uncle Rand."

Lloyd replied subconsciously.

Do you feel that the impression you leave on your future father-in-law isn’t that bad?

He wanted to go with the flow, so he gave Wei Ya a look, signaling her to come to him.

As a result, she was once again blocked by her father, who smiled and said:

"Let's not talk about you and my daughter today. Can you introduce me to the friends behind you? There are several of them, and I have only seen them in the newspaper."

"Uh... well... I'll try my best, okay?"

"Oh?"

Lord Rand glanced at the meeting room behind Lloyd again, and seemed to have noticed something, and asked in a low voice:

"Is the situation different from what you planned? Are there a lot of uninvited guests?"

"Ah? You can see that, too?"

"If you're like me and have been going to these kinds of events since you were twelve, you can tell."

Lord Rand said this and nodded inexplicably. I wonder what he meant?

"Come on, let's go for a walk together."

Wei Ya's father suggested, and then he was willing to let go of his daughter, allowing her to finally come to Lloyd as she wished, and couldn't wait to take his arm.

This sudden concession made Lloyd stunned for a moment. He felt a little confused about his future father-in-law's thinking.

What is his impression of me? Has he tacitly approved of my relationship with Wei Ya?

Lloyd was confused and quickly followed his future father-in-law.

But before he had taken a few steps, the other party suddenly asked:

"Oh, I forgot to ask you just now, you said my daughter is 'good to lick'? What does that mean?"

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Lloyd was choked and coughed again. He could only forcefully explain:

"This is a description used by our school. It actually compliments Wei Ya for being beautiful and cute."

"Oh? I see... It seems I still don't know enough about Mitzkatok."

Lord Rand smiled mysteriously.

Huh? How did he know about the academy?

Lloyd was a little surprised and quickly looked at Weiya with an inquiring look.

As a result, Weiya was completely unable to understand his eyes. When she found that Lloyd was looking at her, she just looked back at him innocently and lovingly, with eyes so charming that they were almost tearing.

After all, she hadn't seen Lloyd for several days...

Lloyd blushed and his heart beat fast, so he quickly took her to catch up with his future father-in-law.

Next, Lloyd deeply understood the essential difference between "socialism" and "social phobia".

Those uninvited guests who came here for the job fair were sent away by the future father-in-law with just a few words.

Strictly speaking, it is not a dismissal, but an encouragement to move around.

I saw him making good use of various social tactics, which not only saved the other party's face, but also did not hurt the harmony or cause any conflict, making people leave willingly. He even apologized for his uninvited visit and expressed his deep shame.

Of course, this is not entirely the effect of the rhetoric. It also requires the status and position of the future father-in-law, as well as his demeanor and temperament in his every move, which can make people feel convinced by him and willing to understand the difficulties mentioned in his rhetoric.

And while persuading these people to leave, he did not forget to introduce Lloyd and Via to others, so that those uninvited guests who originally didn't care about Lloyd all had a good impression of the two.

So it didn't take much effort for the originally noisy and bustling venue to miraculously return to its proper quietness. All the expensive people who came to the job fair disappeared, and those who remained were at least invited by Big Brother. The situation was much better than before.

If social interaction is also a supernatural system, then the level of my future father-in-law must be at the saint level...

In comparison, Lloyd and his older brother can beat thousands or tens of thousands of future father-in-laws in terms of combat power, but in terms of social level, the two of them multiplied together cannot compare to this future father-in-law.

I can only say that every profession has its specialization...

This made Lloyd unable to help but lower his voice and said to Weiya:

"I never thought your father would be so powerful?"

Wei Ya nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and encouraged gently:

"If you follow him to more occasions like this in the future, you will definitely become as good as him."

As he was speaking, his future father-in-law, who had just taken a sip of black tea, suddenly turned around and interrupted:

"Then I don't want this to happen. No matter what happens to you in the future, I don't want a top student from Mizkatok to become a social tool like me. This will make me a sinner of humanity."

It seemed that he not only knew Mitzkatok, but he even recognized Lloyd's honors lapel pin.

Although Lloyd's [Investigation] results showed that his future father-in-law was not even a transcendent, and his various attributes were even a bit low among ordinary people, he was not to be underestimated at all. It seemed that his plan with Weiya was going to fail...

"Well, it's time for us to sit down and have a good chat."

The future father-in-law continued talking, holding a cup of tea, found a soft sofa to sit down, and then gave his daughter another look.

Originally, Weiya wanted to sit directly in Lloyd's arms, but after seeing her father's look, she let go of Lloyd obediently and sat down next to her father. Her legs in black stockings were tightly together, and she sat in a very reserved and ladylike posture.

As soon as the three of them sat down, the future father-in-law directly stated the conclusion:

"Let me get this straight to the point. In principle, I have a pretty good impression of you, so I don't particularly object to you dating Wei Ya, but if you want to get into the stage of discussing marriage, it's still too early."

This result cannot be said to be very bad, but it cannot be said to be very good either. It is very ambiguous, which makes Lloyd a little unsure.

So he quickly opened his mouth, trying to argue again:

"I really like Wei Ya, and I will definitely take good care of her in the future."

But the future father-in-law shook his head and said:

"Since you've climbed over my wall, you should have some understanding of our family's situation, so I don't want to rush into anything. Blind love and hasty decisions will often only lead to tragic consequences..."

"Or to put it more bluntly, as an excellent student of Mizkatok, what kind of responsibilities and missions do you shoulder? How much time and energy can you devote to your family and personal relationships? Are you really ready to get married?"

"Of course, this problem doesn't just apply to Lloyd, it also applies to you, Weiya."

These words left Lloyd and Weiya speechless, and they both lowered their heads.

This future father-in-law was undoubtedly a huge mountain between the two of them, but he did not use houses, cars, annual salaries or monthly wages to pressure Lloyd, nor did he despise or belittle Lloyd. Instead, he just raised a very simple and practical question to dispel the naivety of the two.

He really was the 'butcher' in Lloyd's dream. That dream was really accurate...

"Okay, don't be so serious. Didn't I say it before? At least I don't object in principle. Otherwise, I wouldn't help you solve those little troubles."

The future father-in-law added another sentence, which eased the atmosphere among the three people a little, then stood up and said:

"Today is your sister's important ceremony, so let's not talk about these topics. There's a friend of mine over there, I'll go say hello."

As he said that, he walked towards Lloyd's three classmates, leaving Weiya to Lloyd.

After he left, Lloyd checked the soundproofing equipment, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a guilty conscience:

"Huh...your father is really awesome..."

Wei Ya quickly sat next to Lloyd, took his hand, clasped their fingers together, and said softly:

"It's not easy to convince him, but fortunately the situation is not too bad. We just need to be more patient."

Lloyd nodded, looked around again, and when no one was paying attention, he quickly kissed Weiya.

Wei Ya also showed a naughty smile, kissed him in return, and then asked in a low voice:

"Today... will His Majesty the Saint be present?"

Lloyd nodded.

As a result, Wei Ya immediately showed an embarrassed look, and then asked a question that made Lloyd sweat profusely:

"How do you plan to deal with the relationship between me and His Majesty the Saint?"

Lloyd had never expected her to ask this suddenly. He was stunned for a moment and had no idea how to answer. He just felt very uncomfortable.

But Wei Ya seemed to think it was not enough and continued to say:

"When I saved you last time, I could sense the Saint's feelings for you. She likes you too, right?"

Faced with his girlfriend's questioning, Lloyd hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded helplessly.

As a result, Wei Ya was not disappointed or angry as expected, but said calmly:

"But... she gave me an order, she hopes I can..."

As she spoke, her beautiful face blushed slightly, and she added in a lower voice:

"She hopes I can give you a baby..."

"Well...her ideas are sometimes really wild."

Lloyd replied with a smile.

Wei Ya showed a complicated expression, reached out and caressed Lloyd's cheek, and said gently:

"When Dad asked me just now, I chose to remain silent because I didn't want to accept this kind of thing, even if it was a saint. But I also didn't want to disobey the saint's order, and I didn't want to lose you because of it... So like Dad said, we both need some time."

"Well, you're right."

Lloyd nodded, and was about to start using his scumbag rhetoric to appease his girlfriend, but his future father-in-law actually came back like a ghost?

And he didn't come back alone. He was accompanied by three of his classmates, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other.

Because there were outsiders coming over, Lloyd and Weiya tacitly separated temporarily and were not so close to each other.

After these people sat down, the future father-in-law actually talked about business:

"Are those congressmen secretly planning something? They are recruiting extraordinary people in such a high-profile manner. I smell something strange. I heard that you talked to the representative of one of them about something?"

Lloyd nodded and was about to explain when he suddenly felt a fluctuation in the space beside him.

Then a portal appeared in the air, and Professor Lawrence, dressed like an old fisherman, jumped out of it.

He didn't even take off his sun hat and came to the banquet...

Behind him, there were two strangers who were not recognized by anyone at the scene. Although they were dressed very decently, they were carrying empty fish boxes, fishing rods and other things in their hands. They looked like followers helping the old professor carry his luggage.

As soon as Professor Lawrence saw Lloyd, he said with an unhappy look:

"I originally planned to catch two big ones as a gift, but I only caught a few small crabs... I have no choice but to give you this set of equipment as a gift. Don't despise it, it's all high-end and very complete."

As he said that, he motioned to the two "followers" to place the brand new equipment in front of Lloyd, making Lloyd laugh and cry...
