Chapter 536

"Hello, my name is Rin."

The sunlight outside the window just happened to shine on the young man's body, as if a layer of radiance was cast on his side face.

The already bright smile melted into the light and turned into a Cupid's arrow of light, which immediately pierced the girl's heart.

She didn't know what she was thinking of, but she turned her cunning and intelligent eyes and immediately regained her vitality.

Smiling sweetly at Rin, Lina grabbed her hand and stood up.

"My name is Lina, I am the secretary here, and I am also a friend of Sister Xiye. So, Rin, are you coming to me to ask for help?"

"It's just something. It's not too much trouble, it just takes up a little of your time."

"Okay, let's go, let's find an empty room to chat alone."

The girl grabbed Rin's sleeve and walked into the mansion.

She opened a room casually, invited Rin to go in and wait for a while, and then she went out first.

Rin sat on the leather chair and waited for half an hour before finally waiting for Lina to come back.

She was also holding a tray in her hand with two teacups on it.

"I'm sorry, Rin, I was slightly delayed because of something."

Lina said, putting down the tray in her hand, placing the teacup on the round table, white mist rising.

A light and elegant smell of black tea hits my face.

"I see there are attendants in the mansion. Wouldn't it be nice to let them prepare the black tea? Does the secretary need to do it himself?" Rin said.

Lina pushed a cup in front of Rin and sat across from him.

I saw her smiling and saying: "That's not possible, Rin, you are not an ordinary guest. As Sister Xiye's... lover, you are naturally also my friend."

As he said that, Lina glanced at the tea cup he picked up inadvertently, with a flash of expectation in her eyes.

Rin wanted to take a sip, but a sudden chill appeared out of nowhere, making him tremble slightly.

He looked at the cup in front of him in silence.

Suddenly I felt...Have I ever been tricked by a similar situation?

Shouldn't it?

He brought the tea cup close to his lips again, and the chill came out again.

Rin glanced at Lina and suddenly found that the girl was quietly looking at the teacup in his hand.

Well, speaking of it, doesn’t this seem to be inconsistent with hospitality etiquette?

Normally, the host would put the freshly brewed black tea in the teapot and pour the tea in front of them.

It won't be like this, pouring two glasses and serving them, it will look very perfunctory.

Sure enough there is a problem.

He suddenly became wary and put down the teacup.

Lina's expression did not change and she asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

"Just wanted to ask."

Rin said, standing up and leaning forward, quickly approaching Lena.

The girl stiffened on the spot and raised her head shyly.

"Just friends?"

"Rin, don't make jokes like that. After all, we have Sister Yuye. I will be angry if you do this."

Lina gave him a cute eye roll, a little dissatisfied with his teasing.

But only she knows what's going on in her heart.

"Sorry, sorry, it's all because Miss Lina is too cute and couldn't help but be rude."

Rin clasped his hands together, apologized, sat back in his seat, and picked up the teacup again.

There was no aversion to cold like before, Rin's lips curved slightly and he took a sip.

"It's okay to know that you're wrong, but you can't treat a girl you just met like this."

Seeing him drink the black tea, Lina immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and also picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"So, what's going on?"

"Does Miss Lina know anything about the Duke's challenge?"

"Of course, many celebrities have come to Huadu recently to attend this event."

Speaking of this, Lina held up her chin and asked: "Rin, are you going to participate too?"

"Um."

She winked mischievously: "Do you want me to help you cheat?"

How could Rin take it seriously? She shook her head seriously.

"No, I came here to ask about that treasured key. It is rumored that it is the key to unlocking the ancient golden treasure, and it can also be selected as a prize. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"There is such a key, but to say it can open the treasure is to spread rumors."

Lina shook her head amusedly: "The Duke has never said that. He only said that the key was inherited from the family, and she didn't know what it was used for.

However, the key is made of very rare jade. It is very old and has high value. "

"I think so. If I could open the golden treasure, I think the Duke would go looking for it himself."

But just make sure you have the key.

Rin continued to ask: "So what on earth did Sister Yuye do with the Duke? She was in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to say hello to me."

"It's not exactly a secret."

Lina secretly observed Lin and found that there was nothing strange about him. A trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, but her words did not stop.

"It's okay to tell you that there has always been some friction between Gioral County and the neighboring Lane County. The Duke over there has not been greeted diplomatically..."

As she said that, Lina suddenly felt a little confused, and fatigue and sleepiness also came to her at this moment.

"He came to our county without authorization, so... so the Duke went to meet him in person... Well, I feel..."

The power of the medicine completely exploded at this moment, and Lina fell limply on the table mid-sentence.

Chapter 57 Plan Change

"Hey, little master, let me tell you, boys nowadays have to be careful when going out."

"Compared to Emilia and Iris, I always think you are the one who is most likely to have an accident."

The voice of the system AI was full of smug pride.

Yeah, it was the kind of hindsight.

Lin covered his forehead, looked at the girl lying on the table in front of him, and sighed.

"So I have also encountered this situation in reality?"

"Indeed."

"What happened?"

Qiuqiu's arrogant mood suddenly turned into a pool of stagnant water.

After a moment of silence, she said faintly: "It's better for the young master not to know. I can only tell the young master that you are not at a disadvantage."

Hearing this, Lin scratched his hair and guessed that it was a black history or something.

To be honest, he is so smart, shouldn't this happen?

But people make mistakes and horses stumble. I think he will only be hit once, and he will not fall in the same place afterwards.

Containing his emotions, Lin stood up and came to Lina, and pulled her face over.

After taking a closer look at the girl's appearance, Rin couldn't help but pinch her cheeks.

"I have a very high standard. The girls around me are all very pretty. It's so pleasing to the eyes to see them every day."

"The key is that they are not only pretty, but also capable."

Rin was not angry at all because he was almost drugged. Instead, he boasted about himself.

The only regret was that he didn't see Qi Yu's "human form".

After all, the Demon King is the most beautiful in the world except for the goddess.

After playing with Lina's soft long hair, Rin gently leaned over and kissed her on the side of her face.

"However, you still have to be punished for having bad intentions towards your best friend's brother."

After sucking Lina's lips until they were swollen and planting a bunch of strawberries on her neck, Rin left a note and walked away.

...

Whether it was meeting Xiye or Lina's illusion, it was just a small episode.

Rin just regarded these as a dream.

What he was most anxious about was to pass the trial and get back all his memories.

The past few days were peaceful.

Although he left his address to Lina, she didn't come to visit.

Maybe it was because he lost more than he gained, so he was embarrassed and shy.

Five days later, news came that Duke Gioral returned to Huacheng and brought Duke Ryan back with him.

On the same day, Lin received two letters.

One was from Xiye and the other was from Lina.

Xiye's handwriting was still so sloppy that it was barely readable, and the content was very brief.

"My dear brother."

"I was unable to say goodbye in time because of some temporary business a few days ago.

I came back today, but I have to protect the Duke, so I can't meet him. I'm really sorry.

I will apologize to you later, and I hope you won't be angry.

In addition, I know that you will participate in the challenge, but because of Duke Ryan, the Duke will change the rules of the competition, and there will be definite news tomorrow."

Then Lin picked up Lina's letter, and her handwriting was as dignified and beautiful as her.

"Rin, the challenge has changed temporarily.

The Duke and Duke Ryan have made a bet. The challenge rules will be formulated by the people of Ryan County. The announcement will be released tomorrow.

Then there will be the preliminary election. Come on.

I believe you will stand out and win the final victory.

Recently, I can't go out for official business. If you have something to do, you can send a letter to the official residence. I am looking forward to your letter.

Finally, Rin, you are a bad-hearted person!

You actually did that to a girl!

Hehe, but I like it very much. I look forward to seeing you next time."

"This girl, it's obviously her own bad intention."

Rin shook his head with a smile and put away the letter.

"In that case, we can only wait for tomorrow's announcement."

These days, it is obvious that more and more people are coming to the city.

Not only people from the county of Gioral, but also many people from nearby provinces and counties.

They all come for the three winning gifts.

After all, he is the Duke of a county, and his collection at home is quite precious. Any one of them can be worth millions of gold coins.
