The last place the carriage stopped was in a remote corner of Shuidu.

To say it is a remote place, it is better to say that it was bought by a wealthy businessman and surrounded by a large yard with magnificent buildings in the middle.Taking a closer look, the marble columns are carved with exquisite patterns, and the hall is decorated with gold ware to highlight the simple and crude style of luxury.

Under the leadership of Josie, Yu Xiasheng and the two came to the living room and stood in front of the door. The conversation coming from the door made Yu Xiasheng feel uneasy.

"My lord, Mr. Asaros has arrived."

Josie pushed open the door and saluted respectfully.

"Awaited."

The voice was vicissitudes and powerful, and the two quickly realized that it was the old man they met in the banquet hall of the gem exhibition.Yu Xiasheng looked into the living room. On another seat beside the old man, a tall man in a white dress crossed his legs and looked at Yu Xiasheng meaningfully.

This man was exactly the one Asaros was worried about—Duke Sakild.

Yu Xiasheng looked at the old man with a complicated expression.

"What a beautiful child." The old man looked at Nigeya, stroked the beard on his chin and smiled innocently: "I even had some conflicts with my idiot son."

Yu Xiasheng realized that the old man might be the lord of Water City—Marquis Rocco.

Nigeya hid behind Yu Xiasheng vigilantly.

"The matter of Paliqi..."

Yu Xiasheng was a little flustered. If Rocco intended to take revenge, he would not be able to escape this time.

"It doesn't matter, that bastard should be taught a lesson." Rocco suppressed his smile and said, "Besides, you are kind to the people in my territory, so I won't treat you badly. It's just a pity for the celebration banquet." .”

What Luo Ke said was to blame Yu Xiasheng for transferring the reward to Yimo and rejecting the celebration banquet.

Yu Xiasheng scratched his head guiltily.

"I brought it to you, and then there will be nothing to do with me, an old man." Rocco got up and handed over the home of the banquet hall to Sakild.

"I don't remember ever owing you anything?!"

Yu Xiasheng blurted out instinctively.

"Long time no see, you are still as boring as ever." Sakild stroked the sapphire ring between his fingers, his eyes were full of disdain, until he turned his eyes to Nigeya, he was a little surprised: "He is the rumored 'relic' 'Bar."

After reading his father's will, Sakild naturally heard about "Dragon".

But this "dragon" seems to be a joke, and people can't even pay attention to it.Only Sakild, who is suspicious by nature, would be extra careful.

"No." Yu Xiasheng denied.

"I sent someone to find the chamber of commerce where my father kept his relics." Sakild said unhurriedly: "The name is 'Nighog'."

Very careful investigation.Yu Xiasheng almost blurted out.

"The weird thing is that there is no movement in the follow-up investigation, so I have to invite you here as a last resort."

Thatkild clenched the sapphire, reluctant to accept his defeat.

Yu Xiasheng once asked Sebu to take away the memories of Sakild's subordinates and throw them into the river.Probably since then, Sakild lost Yu Xiasheng's whereabouts.

"If you want to play the idea of ​​​​the relic, it is absolutely impossible."

"I do have some interest in dragons." Sakild looked at Nigeya, with a deep smile on the corner of his mouth, "but now you are more valuable than dragons."

His worth?

Yu Xiasheng never expected that Sakild would make his mind on him.

Sakild has always disliked making jokes, so he said bluntly: "I want to bankrupt the Jeffrian Chamber of Commerce."

"Your conflicts have nothing to do with me."

Since Asaros was kicked out of the family and traveled alone, everything in the family has been separated from him.What's more, now that the brothers are feuding, Yu Xiasheng doesn't want to lie in this muddy water.

But Thakilde refused to let it go.

"'Toys in your eyes are as important as life in the eyes of others'." Sakild said slowly: "It seems that the gemstone that can make plants bloom has an unusual origin."

"—!"

"Who is this life-threatening?"

Yu Xia was exhausted.How much did Thatkild really know? !

Nigeya held Yu Xiasheng's hand from behind to calm him down.

Yu Xiasheng barely held back his anger, "What good will Jeffrian's bankruptcy do for you?"

"I don't want someone to expose too much ambition in my territory, so naturally someone has to remove obstacles for me."

"Why did you choose me?" Yu Xiasheng gritted his teeth.

There are as many confidantes as you want, why go all the way to find a third brother who is unfamiliar with you?

"One is to let the elders think that I am just handling family affairs, and the other is because of you," Sakild said with a smile, "I will never be bought by Safiro."

In the past, Sakild just ignored Asaros.But Sapphiro was the one who cast a deep shadow in Asaros's childhood.

Compared with Sakild, Asaros is more afraid of Safiro, and naturally he will not be bought by Safiro.

I never expected that Sakild would even take this into consideration.

Yu Xiasheng was powerless to refute.

"Of course, I won't treat you badly." Sakild began to throw an olive branch at the right time, "I can get the gem you need."

Yu Xiasheng was shocked, "From Sapphiro?"

"Take the fake as the real one." Sakild smiled slightly.

"..."

There is no doubt that this is a great temptation.

"I'll give you three days to think about it, and come see me when you figure it out." Sakild ended the conversation.

At night, Yu Xiasheng rode a horse back to the hotel with Nigeya.

The room was completely ransacked, but fortunately there were not many valuable items, and the carriage was still there.After this chaotic encounter, Yu Xiasheng is now the first and the second eldest.

Nigeya tidied up the room, sat on the bed, patted Yu Xiasheng with her tail, "Sleep."

"Mmmmmmmm." Yu Xiasheng didn't hear Nigeya's words clearly, so he hastily replied.Nigeya waited for a long time, but Yu Xiasheng didn't move, his tail impatiently rolled up Yu Xiasheng, and pressed him on the bed.

"Nigya!"

"Sleep." Nigeya moved to Yu Xiasheng's side and reached out to stroke his head.The long blond hair has turned back to black and hangs on Nigeya's shoulders.

Yu Xiasheng choked on the words that came to his lips.

Nigeya's tail softened, and Yu Xiasheng hugged it, no matter how much Nigeya twitched, he would not let go.

"Good night, Nigeya." Yu Xiasheng felt too tired and closed his eyes wearily.

Nigeya looked at his own tail, it didn't matter if he put it away, and he couldn't leave without putting it away.He had to lie obediently beside Yu Xiasheng and sleep.

In the dream, Yu Xiasheng returned to the blank world of the system.

[The additional tasks seem to be progressing well, host. 】

As soon as the system appeared, it began to gloat.

"Where did it go?" Yu Xiasheng had a headache when he thought about Sakild.After thinking about it carefully, Yu Xiasheng's face suddenly darkened, and he raised his head in vain and said, "Are you going to say that the official task is..."

[The remaining lifespan of the host is three years and nine months, task content: Weaken the Jeffrian Chamber of Commerce!Task Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆.Although there is no limit to the completion time of this task, the host is requested to use the remaining lifespan reasonably. 】

"really!"

Yu Xiasheng covered his face in pain.

[The host doesn't need to be depressed, the so-called high risk and high reward, you can only gain if you pay! 】

Yu Xia gritted her teeth angrily.

He just wanted to be an ordinary manor owner, but it always made him troublesome.What's more, Sakild is not a kind person.After getting rid of Safiro, the next target is likely to be Yu Xiasheng himself.

【all will be good. 】

The system began to enlighten Yu Xiasheng, [Although the system should not give prompts, but... the active attack is always better than the passive attack. 】

Yu Xiasheng was stunned.

"Could it be that Safiro has been eyeing me?"

【…】

The sudden silence of the system gave Yu Xiasheng courage.

Yu Xiasheng took a deep breath, and decided to discuss it with Nigeya early in the morning before considering replying to Sakild.

Waking up early the next morning, Yu Xiasheng found that half of his body had fallen to the edge of the bed.

On the other side, Nigeya curled up slightly, hugged his tail tightly and fell asleep soundly.Yu Xiasheng leaned over, feeling evil thoughts in his heart, and poked Nigeya's cheek with his fingertips.

Nigeya dodged Yu Xiasheng's fingers in a daze.

Yu Xiasheng changed places and continued poking.

Nigeya dodged his fingertips just across his lips, and Nigeya bit it without thinking.

Yu Xiasheng trembled from his fingertips to his heels, and it hurt a lot.

Seeing that the itchy thing had stopped moving, Nigeya let go, licked his lips, and continued to sleep.

Yu Xiasheng looked at the red tooth marks on his fingertips, withdrew his hand awkwardly, turned around and ran to change clothes and wash, and went downstairs to get breakfast.As soon as he returned to the room, he saw an owl with white feathers and black spots squatting beside the bed, trying to poke Nigya's sleeping face with its beak.

Yu Xiasheng immediately rushed forward to chase him away.

Obviously he couldn't poke casually! ! !

The owl flopped and fled to the ceiling beams.

When Nigeya heard the movement, she stood up and rubbed her eyes in a daze, "What?"

"There are birds." Yu Xiasheng pointed to the ceiling, the head of the cat was tilted, and his face was innocent.

Nigeya took a look, and his eyes darkened, "That's the familiar."

"Familiar?"

"Doyle's pet." Nigeya smelled Doyle's scent from the owl.

"Cuckoo!" The owl flapped its wings happily.

Yu Xiasheng's surprise was nothing but shock.

Taking advantage of Yu Xiasheng's inattention, Nigeya moved towards the breakfast table with his empty stomach, wagging his tail on his buttocks, very excited.

"Change your clothes first and wash your face quickly!" Yu Xiasheng stopped Nigeya who was about to move in time.

Nigga froze all of a sudden.

"Cuckoo!!!" The owl jumped angrily after not getting any attention for a long time.

Yu Xiasheng directly threw a pillow onto it, and knocked the owl down, "You use this method to obtain information outside, right?"

"Understanding really fast."

The owl spoke, sharply, in exactly the same tone as Doyle.

"Then what are you doing here?" If you came here purely to tease Nigeya, Yu Xiasheng strangled the owl immediately.

"Cuckoo!" The owl tilted its neck and said, "I should remind you that the spring elves don't have much time left, you'd better hurry up."
