Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees
Chapter 776 Five Hundred Years
Time goes back to a moment ago.
In fact, Ilsa Laurening had been standing outside the banquet hall silently observing the guests.
She arrived one step behind on purpose.
She had guessed in advance that Morse would come over early to cause a scene, but she planned to seize the opportunity to enter.
But the opportunity was still delayed because...
The first time she saw Bai Yu, she couldn't take her eyes away.
"Miss?" the maid on the side asked softly, "Aren't you going to change your clothes?"
"Change, change immediately..." Ilsa breathed a sigh of relief: "Bring me my most beautiful dress."
"The most beautiful one?" the maid blinked: "Miss, don't tell me to be more simple, it's better to change into a black mourning dress..."
Before she finished speaking, the maid was knocked on the head and hurriedly ran to prepare.
Through the single-sided glass, Ilsa looked at the young man in the center of the banquet venue and pursed her lips.
"It's him, it must be him!"
She muttered silently, clasping her fingers: "It must be Mr. Yu..."
It had been so long, and she thought she would never have the chance to meet again.
Life is full of coincidences, and as long as you wait long enough, miracles will always happen.
…
Time returns to the present.
During the banquet, Ilsa said, "I don't know what breaking off the engagement is, and I have no interest in breaking off the engagement." This completely turned the situation around.
The sudden change of words caught everyone off guard, some were happy and some were sad.
Morse's face changed slightly, but then he sneered secretly.
The elder sighed in astonishment.
Although the face of Donghuang and Bai family was saved this time, it was equivalent to giving up the competition for the position of the head of the family.
What to do next?
Morse immediately stepped forward, his smile brightening in the light and shadow: "So that's it, it seems I misunderstood my niece... Since Ilsa you are so fond of Master Bai, as an uncle, of course I also hope that You can be happy."
He clapped his hands and made it clear: "Then President Donghuang happens to be here today, so let's just set a date for the wedding."
Melusina originally looked at Ilsa with an unkind look, but when she heard that this girl was so sensible, she began to worry a lot.
As a shopping mall elite, she has seen many such scenes. After all, a simple business war involves grabbing official seals and scalding the other party's money tree to death with boiling water.
There were incidents of quarrels in the company, and it was not uncommon for them to happen among the nobles.
Morse wants to seize power, and it is not good for Donghuang for this person to be in power. Behind him are other great nobles in Longdong.
Originally, if Ilsa had said the word 'break off the engagement', then Melusina would have left the scene directly. She would not care about the rest. The entire Lorenning family would have to accept Donghuang's revenge. In her eyes, Madness proves that it is not just thinking.
But Ilsa's attitude proves that she can still be supported. At least she likes her brother... who has a vision!
After having a common language and common hobbies, Melusina liked Ilsa more than a little bit. She said calmly: "When the wedding will start and when it will be held, it is better to wait for the chairman to come back and decide in person."
Morse shook his head and said, "It's hard to put it this way. The head of the family is missing now. If there is any bad news, wouldn't it delay Ilsa's wedding?"
"Yes, the eldest lady has reached the age of marriage."
"The two of them seem to be a perfect match. Let's just set a date."
"The master of the house will also smile."
Several elders also echoed a few words.
Several senior members of the Patriarch faction wanted to express their opposition.
At this time, Ilsa had already walked closer from the other end of the banquet hall. She looked at Bai Yu and stared at him for five seconds without saying anything, but everything was left unsaid.
Bai Yu was also shocked.
I really wanted to ask what happened, but I held back my words.
He grabbed Melusina who wanted to speak and signaled her not to speak.
The scene became eerily quiet for a while.
This is different from what Morse thought. When Ilsa admitted the engagement, the situation should actually become a wrestling match between him and Donghuang President... As for marriage, the young master and the eldest lady have no practical effect.
But he made a mistake. The right to speak on the scene was in the hands of the nominally unmarried couple.
"Morse Laurent." Ilsa called him by his first name and said indifferently: "I know that you covet the position of the head of the family, so you want me to complete the engagement earlier."
Morse's eyelids twitched, and his expression became a bit sinister.
"I am thinking about Ilsa's lifelong happiness."
"Since you are so satisfied with the wedding, you should get married and enjoy the blessings as soon as possible, and help the Bai family flourish."
"My niece said this...uncle, I'm really going to be angry."
How hypocritical.
The contempt in Ilsa's eyes grew stronger: "You come to make trouble when a distinguished guest is here. You just want to create a dilemma for me. Now that we have opened the door, what's wrong?"
She didn't wait for the other party to answer, and directly stated: "If you want the position of the head of the family, you can-!"
Morse was too lazy to continue pretending. Anyway, everyone present was not an outsider, but a stakeholder.
He licked his teeth, pondered for a moment, exchanged glances with several of his confidants, and then said, "What do you want?"
"It's not that I want something, but that you want this position, then rely on your strength to grab it."
Ilsa said loudly: "I will give you three days. You can use all your connections to find a suitable duel agent."
"The position of the head of the family will be given to the winner!"
The decision of the acting family leader echoed loudly.
Faced with this decision, some people were secretly happy, some frowned, some were silent, some were moved, and some were overjoyed.
Melusina did not expect that Ilsa would be so decisive, directly deciding the outcome through a knight's duel, and also allowing the other party to directly look for foreign aid. This is really a bit...
"What does President Donghuang think?"
Morse did not answer immediately, but looked at the two people on the other side with burning eyes.
He wanted to agree immediately, but he still wanted to see what Donghuang meant.
Melusina rationally didn't want to accept it. She had invested too much and it was really unnecessary to stress the outcome of a duel.
"Okay." In front of everyone's shocked gazes, Bai Yu proactively replied, "Donghuang agrees to this duel."
Melusina quickly changed her mind and said calmly: "What Yujing means is what Donghuang means."
"Okay!" Morse shouted, looking extremely excited, as if he had a chance to win.
He laughed, raised the red wine in his hand, and drank it in one gulp.
"See you in three days at the sword fence duel field!"
…
As Morse's group exited, the banquet atmosphere returned to normal.
Ilsa continued to host the banquet as if nothing happened.
Melusina didn't ask any further questions.
Until the dinner was over and the crowd dispersed.
When they came to a living room, the three of them had a chance to talk.
"Miss Ilsa, how sure are you that you can win?" Melusina got straight to the point: "Behind Morse is the support of the Midwinter nobles. The other party is fully capable of selecting a king who is ranked among the round table in strength. Or should I say, Have you already found a duel agent?"
Ilsa smiled and said: "Don't worry, Madam President, I certainly didn't apply for a duel rashly."
Melusina asked: "Who is it?"
"Me." Bai Yu took the words and answered naturally.
The CEO's sister's movements were stagnant for three seconds. She asked stiffly: "What?"
"I'm on the field." Bai Yu made a scissor hand gesture: "Guaranteed to win."
"Nonsense!" Melusina was furious: "What does it mean for you to appear on the Laurent family's affairs? A knight's duel... are you a knight?"
And why should the Laurence family's affairs cause the Bai family to bleed?
Donghuang has already paid a lot. If this noble family cannot support him, then he will be replaced by the next family!
How could her sister agree to let her brother go to a dangerous duel?
"Calm down." Bai Yu said with a smile: "Actually, this is a good thing. If I play, I won't be afraid of the opponent's strange moves. At the same time, I can gain a wave of fame. Grandpa's development has not gone well in the past two years in the middle of winter, and now he is trapped in the fairy world. I can’t get out of the country. Now it’s up to me, a direct descendant of the Bai family, to make a name for myself, so that the nobles in Midwinter can open their eyes. As long as I win, they will never dare to continue to attack the Laurent family.”
"When I get the noble title from the Queen, they should consider whether they should kneel down."
"It sounds nice." Melusina said worriedly: "Midwinter is not Rome, and the opponent you encounter this time is not a soft persimmon like the United Guards Hall. All the Knights of the Round Table here have received the blessing of the Holy Grail, and their strength Far beyond the ordinary fourth-level king cavalry..."
"Even so, I will win." Bai Yu was very sure.
Seeing that Bai Yu had made up her mind, Melusina's thoughts of persuasion also faded away. She just didn't understand why Bai Yu would be willing to stand up for the Laurent Ning family after coming here. They all have a "destroy it quickly" attitude.
The CEO sister must not be able to figure it out.
…
Late at night.
Bai Yu came to the courtyard and saw the girl who had been waiting here by the fountain pool.
Just as he was about to say hello, he saw her swooping over in two steps.
It seemed like there was no weight at all when it hit me.
The girl buried her head on her shoulders and made a trembling little sound.
"Five hundred years...Mr. Yu."
"Long time no see, Paige."
