C679 Gift
"And this, this is the five-thousand-year-old He Shou Wu. It's also a great tonic. " Also, this is a five-thousand-year-old polygonum multiflorum. What you need to do right now is to make up for it, and that's the only thing you need to do. Only then will you be able to return to your peak and lead the Loong family back to glory. Therefore, your body is more important. You can't ignore your own body. I'm very worried about you. "1
After listening to Ninth Duke's words, Patriarch Loong's heart was filled with disdain. He knew that the reason Ninth Duke brought such a precious gift was because he wanted it. Therefore, this was typical of a weasel paying a visit to a chicken. It didn't have any good intentions.
Although he thought so in his heart, Patriarch Loong didn't show it on his face. He still smiled and said to Ninth Duke, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am really ashamed in my heart."
After saying that, Patriarch Loong hurriedly ordered his men to prepare the best tea and treat Ninth Duke to prevent him from losing the guest ceremony.
The two of them took their seats. Ninth Duke started to look around the living room as if he was looking for something, but he did not find anything.
Ninth Duke asked Patriarch Loong with a smile on his face. "By the way, Patriarch Loong," he said. I heard that your love has returned to the Loong family recently. I wonder if it's true? "If it's true, can you invite him out? "We can meet again."
"This..." Patriarch Loong frowned. Today was the day he came out of seclusion. Although he had prepared a lot of things and prepared to enter seclusion, he still felt that there was not enough spirit energy. He prepared to rest for a few more days and enter seclusion again.
However, when Patriarch Loong came out of seclusion, he did not see Loong Xue. Moreover, Zhang Fann and the others were also nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this scene, Patriarch Loong secretly guessed that they must have gone out together. Furthermore, with Zhang Fann around, Patriarch Loong was very assured. Therefore, he didn't ask about it.
He did not expect that Ninth Duke would visit today and ask such a question in the living room. It really caught Patriarch Loong off guard. If he called Loong Xue, Loong Xue had heard that Ninth Duke was here, she would not want to come out to meet him. If she did not go, Ninth Duke would definitely be unhappy. This would make things difficult for Patriarch Loong.
After thinking for a while, Patriarch Loong said to Ninth Duke with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll send someone to get him now."
After saying that, Patriarch Loong waved to a maid beside him, indicating for her to call Loong Xue. He was ready to come out and see Ninth Duke. However, Patriarch Loong knew in his heart that if Loong Xue knew about this matter, she would definitely not come out to meet him.
Patriarch Loong first exchanged some pleasantries with Ninth Duke. Before long, the maid came in from outside. She bowed deeply to Patriarch Loong and said, "Master, Miss has already left early in the morning. As for where she went, she did not say."
Patriarch Loong heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He thought to himself that this child really had a precursor. It was as if he knew something. This was the best outcome. Otherwise, the scene would be really awkward.
Thinking of this, Patriarch Loong's face was full of smiles. He said to Ninth Duke, "Your Highness, look. Ever since Loong Xue came back, she hasn't been idling at home. She seems very busy. She's really grown up. She had her own ideas, so... This time, I'm afraid he really can't come back to see His Royal Highness. Why don't you wait for the next time you come? I'll try my best to keep her. What do you think? "
After listening to Patriarch Loong's words, Ninth Duke put away the smile on his face. He was somewhat unhappy in his heart. After all, he had come here more than once or twice. He had spent a lot of Spirit Stones to arrange things so many times. Not only did he fail to accomplish his task, he had even trouble meeting Loong Xue once. How could this not make Ninth Duke angry?
However, this matter... After all, he still had some shrewdness. After all, if he forced this matter, it might make Loong Xue even more dissatisfied. Therefore, he decided to endure it for now. However, this time, After Ninth Duke arrived at the Loong family, all he wanted to do was to meet Loong Xue. If he couldn't see Loong Xue, he wouldn't be happy.
Thinking about it, Ninth Duke thought of a way. He said to Patriarch Loong, "It's okay. Girls are getting older. It's normal for girls to run around outside. But she will always come back. How about this? I've been bored lately, so why don't I stay in your Long family for a while? This way, when Loong Xue comes back, "Okay."
Hearing Ninth Duke's words, Patriarch Loong's expression became very ugly. He had never thought that Ninth Duke would say such a thing. If this was the case, then Ninth Duke would stay in the Loong family and not leave. It would definitely make things difficult for Loong Xue. If that was the case, Patriarch Loong knew Loong Xue's temper. If he really angered Loong Xue, he didn't know what she would do.
Furthermore, she came back from outside this time. Loong Xue also brought a man named Zhang Fann with her. Although he looked like a Shackles Stage warrior, But his strength didn't quite match his realm. In fact, he was even stronger than the Great Elder. Ever since he came to the Loong family, no matter if it was the four elders who intimidated the Loong family, There was nothing that Patriarch Loong wouldn't be surprised if he managed to snatch the spirit vein back from the Black River Hall.
Moreover, according to Patriarch Loong's understanding of Loong Xue, he could clearly tell that Loong Xue was interested in Zhang Fann.
Patriarch Loong also admired Zhang Fann. Whether it was from the perspective of the martial world or the friendship between Loong Xue and him, it was not easy for Zhang Fann to travel thousands of miles to the Loong family and help rebuild it.
One should know that the current situation of the Loong family was not optimistic. They were surrounded by enemies from all sides. They were suffering from internal and external problems. There were even many people who wanted to take advantage of the situation of the Loong family. For example, Ninth Duke and the Lin family who had come here before wanted to use Loong Xue as a condition to help the Loong family solve the problem in front of them.
After Zhang Fann saw the current situation of the Loong family, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he decided to stay and check the mess in the Long family bit by bit. It was as if he was trying to solve the mess. He needed to find a terminal in order to solve the mess.
At the beginning, Patriarch Loong didn't believe that Zhang Fann could do it, nor did he have any hope for him. He felt that Zhang Fann wouldn't stay here for long.
