  Two months later, Yu Bai finally entered Liben County safely.

The aristocratic area is worthy of being an aristocratic area. After entering the city gate, Yu Bai found that the roads in Liben County were at least several times wider than the town they lived in. The roads were paved with rectangular bluestone slabs. Dirt underneath.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, and Yu Bai found many taverns, weapons shops, and even jewelry stores and clothing stores that buy women's accessories in a glance.

There are also quite a few aristocratic ladies wandering around in several shops in their beauties.

Yu Bai was amazed, he completely refreshed his understanding of this world. He hadn't seen enough, but soon, the carriage arrived in front of a magnificent castle.

"This is the residence of Earl Edel in Liben County, and it will be the home of the young master in the future." Melville helped the young man out of the carriage.

Yu Bai thought that Earl Edel cared so much about his illegitimate son that he would come out to see him impatiently, but it turned out that Yu Bai was overthinking, until the three housekeepers of the castle came out, he did not see Earl Edel.

"Master Neil, Master and Madam are out for the banquet and are not at home. Let me take you around the castle and get acquainted with it." The

butler bent down and motioned for Yu Bai to follow him.

"My..."

Before Yu Bai finished speaking, the housekeeper interrupted him directly, "Young master, don't worry, I have ordered the servants to put your things in the warehouse, and your room is ready. Yes Yes, I heard that you like roses, there is a special flower shop in the city, you can go there to pick the most beautiful flower branches every day."

What's the situation with this housekeeper?

Still let people not talk?

Yu Bai finally understood now, he thought Fern was very popular with Edel, but now it seems that this is not the case at all!

If Edel really cared about his illegitimate son, why didn't he go to Rose Manor to see him once? Why did he run out to the banquet when his son, whom he hadn't seen for nearly ten years, arrived?

The butler probably had a problem with his master's attitude, so he didn't take him as a young master at all.

"I thought it was someone, it turned out to be my father's illegitimate son."

A young man in his twenties came down the spiral stairs on the second floor. He was tall and wore a black vest with low-key buttons. The black gemstone looked a little lazy.

"Master Layton."

The butler's respectful title allowed Yu Bai to know the identity of this man -

the eldest son of Earl Edel.

"Well, I remember your name is Neil? You should thank your mother, that beautiful oriental woman for giving you such a special eye color and hair color, otherwise, you should be like other illegitimate children, who didn't know how to be handed over by your father." Send it somewhere."

Layton walked down and leaned on the sofa in the living room, the maid quickly brought black tea, he didn't move, just looked at Yu Bai with that half-smile look.

Yu Bai was so angry that he was about to explode!

"What do you mean?!"

"Don't you understand?" Layton said, "Apart from that face, what else is there on your body that can be used?" The

system felt the same way, "I think he's right."

Yu Bai: "You are all widows! You are all widows!"

"You just hate me and are afraid that I will take away your things." Fern bit his lip and looked at the man in front of him.

"Hate? No, it's not so much that I hate you, it's better to say that I don't care about your existence at all." After finishing speaking, Layton looked at the time, "It's getting late, housekeeper, prepare a horse for me, I want to go out one trip."

When he passed by Yu Bai, he found that the youthful eyes were red, he was obviously weak and short, but he stared at himself, "I will prove that what you said is wrong! You are just afraid of me!"

"OK. My terrible brother." The young man spread his hands and shrugged indifferently.

After Layton left, the butler took Yu Bai to stroll around the castle casually. Yu Bai excused himself to be tired and went back to the room the butler had prepared for him.

This room is not bad, at least it has a lot of space and everything is complete, and the fluffy eiderdown quilt looks soft.

Yu Bai was so tired that he fell on the bed, and began to wonder what Layton meant.

"He said that Edel wanted to use me because of my face, but he also asked me to go to the seminary when I became an adult. Could it be that...there is a pervert in the seminary?!" This was beyond

Yu Bai's expectations.

He still wants to go there to find out if there is any way to meet God.

"What should I do there? Are you still going to the seminary?" the system asked while pinching its chin.

Yu Bai thought for a while, even if there is a person in the seminary who even the Earl would sacrifice a son to curry favor with, that doesn't mean that person really likes him—after all, his face is more oriental, and not

everyone Everyone can appreciate it...?

Besides, even if that person really has a crush on him, so what? All right!

Thinking of this, Yu Bai immediately said, "Go! Of course!"

When Earl Edel and Countess returned, it was already the morning of the next day.

When Yu Bai was called to the study by the housekeeper, he happened to meet the countess coming downstairs.

This lady was already forty years old, but she was well maintained. She looked like she had just turned thirty, and there was an aristocratic elegance in her gestures.

She was wearing a dark green dress, the dark green color matched her skin very well, and she wore a white pearl necklace on her slender neck. Her face was five points similar to Layton's, but the lines were softer.

"Oh my God! This child is really good-looking!"

Mrs. Sabrina covered her bright red lips with her hands in lace gloves of the same color, "Are you Neil, good boy, Edel is waiting for you in the study, You go over there."

Yu Bai thought about Fern's character, he probably didn't like this lady very much, so he didn't say much, he simply nodded, called Madam, and went upstairs to find Earl Edel.

"Ma'am?"

Seeing that Mrs. Sabrina was still standing on the stairs, she turned her head to look at the boy's back with a dazed expression, the housekeeper called her, "Do you have something to ask Master Neil?" Madam was like a

dream Fang Xing, "It's okay, I just feel that this child..."

Although he looked covered in thorns, he didn't know that he was just a harmless little animal in front of a real hunter.

Make people pity.

She didn't say the following words, but just looked away, "I'm tired, go back to my room to rest, before dinner you send someone to find Layton, the Seminary will start in a few days, send Neil away Today, we should have dinner together."

"I see, ma'am."

When Yu Bai walked along the red velvet carpet to the door of the study, he realized that the butler who followed him had disappeared. Fortunately, the butler took him to understand briefly yesterday. Take a look at the layout of the manor, otherwise he might not even know where the study is.

"Tu Tut Tuk."

Knocking on the door, a middle-aged man's voice came from inside the door, "Come in."

Yu Bai pushed the door open and went in, only to find a large glass window in the study.

Most of the glass windows in this era have some impurities, which will appear gray-blue or gray-green. Although they can transmit light, they are always hazy.

But the glass window in this study room is different, it looks very pure, the bright sunlight from outside cheers in and rushes in, dropping rectangular spots of light on the wooden floor, illuminating the whole room extraordinarily brightly.

"Father."

The boy walked to the desk and called softly to the middle-aged man who was looking down at the letter.

Earl Edel didn't respond immediately. After reading the entire letter, he wrote a line of reply, folded the letter paper and stuffed it into the envelope while looking up.

"Well, I'm on good terms with a bishop in the seminary, you used to get closer to him, get in touch with each other, you know?" Damn, I know

your size!

"What kind of father is this?! Even if you want to take advantage of it, you have to look good, right? You called me here just to talk about this?" Yu Bai scolded in his heart, and the system hurriedly groped, "Don't you all be mentally prepared

? Are you ready? Don't care! Anyway, you'll have to go to the seminary in a few days, and Edel can't do it if he wants to manipulate you." "

Hmph."

In Earl Edel's eyes, he was extremely beautiful and thin The youngest son, with a cold face, half-lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Did you notice it?

Or what did Layton say to him?

These two thoughts flashed through the man's mind, but Edel didn't pay much attention to it. Although he has never seen this son, Edel receives news from Rose Manor every year.

He knew Neil well.

This is a spoiled child who can only rely on his father's power and wealth to act recklessly.

He is like a freshly ripe peach, fresh and sweet, juicy, but as long as someone picks it off, a little setback and impact will make this fresh and sweet taste gradually rot in the box.

Neil, does he dare to go against his big tree?

Without his own protection, he will be a ripe soft fruit that everyone can bully.

"...Father, to get closer, what do I need to do..."

Let's see.

Earl Edel showed a satisfied smile, which stretched the fine wrinkles around his eyes.

"You are a smart child, you should know what you need to do to help your father."

Neil's obedience made Edel willing to love him a little more, he beckoned, "Come here, let father see your face. "

..."

The young man's back straightened. He seemed to hate this kind of tone that was treated as an object. If it was in Rose Manor, this arrogant young master would have lost his temper and even killed anyone who dared to offend him. Not necessarily people.

But now it is in the castle of Leben County.

The man in front of Neil was not a servant in Rose Manor, but his father, an earl!

"Okay."

Fern squeezed the hand hanging by his side, and he walked towards the man step by step, letting the disgusting and rotten aroma of Edel's body rush into his nostrils.

first.

Fern thought to himself, it was the first time he felt this kind of humiliation, but it was the humiliation brought about by someone he could not resist!

The man sat on a red lacquered wood chair with a long back, stretching out his hand to lift the boy's chin.

A pair of obsidian-like beautiful eyes met the eyes, the light reflected from the pupils was like stars at night, under the small Qiong nose, a pair of bright red lips were tightly pressed, as bright as roses blooming on white jade porcelain.

Even if it is hatred, it looks so cute on this face, not to mention the oriental style that is like the finishing touch when the young man droops and closes his eyes!

"Hahahahaha," Earl Edel laughed and let go of his hand.

"Very good, you can ask your father what you want, and I will try my best to satisfy you."

Yu Bai backed away in three steps at a time, and wiped his chin with his cuff in disgust until the piece of skin was wiped away. flushed.

"I want Melville to obey me! Come with me to seminary!"

Melville?

Earl Edel thought for a second before he remembered that this was the young knight he had recruited not long ago.

Melville is very young, but his strength is good. In order to let him practice more, Edel specially entrusted him with the task of escorting Neil.

Although he is very optimistic about this young knight, for Edel, this person is not irreplaceable.

"Okay, I promise you."

As soon as Yu Bai left the study, the system couldn't wait to criticize him for his lack of acting skills, "Your poor acting skills made my head twitch. Lame, otherwise how could I not see the hatred on your face."

"I did it on purpose." Yu Bai continued, "A person of Edel's status must be a cunning fox. He arranged for Gavin to be the housekeeper, and he may have revealed a lot of information about me in private." "

He was testing me, so I let him know that I am a weak chicken who can't even hide my hatred, so that he can relax his vigilance. You won't always meddle in my affairs."

System: "Hey?! How could it be? Butler Gavin is so kind to you!"

Yu Bai: "What's the use of being nice to me, and I don't have money to pay him salary. Hitting a worker, feelings are worthless in front of money."

Thinking that Yu Bai was coaxed by himself with 100 million, the system shut up embarrassingly.

Yu Bai was walking forward along the red velvet carpet, he didn't pay attention at the corner turning, and collided with a rather hard body, making a bang!

The fragile nose hit the button on the man's chest, and Yubai's eyes were sore from the pain. When he fell back on the carpet, physical tears rolled down instantly.

"It hurts... don't you look at the road when you walk? Stupid..." The guy... the

arrogant boy hadn't finished cursing, with his red mouth half-opened, he saw a familiar face through the misty water vapor.

If there is nothing wrong with his eyes, shouldn't this guy be his big brother Layton who went out?
