Chapter 98 True and False White Night
"You're crazy!" Yalian gently twisted Bai Ye's arm with her hand, and Wen also looked at him with a puzzled look.
Bai Ye spread his hands without giving any explanation. He couldn't tell them that he was a pity that was so pitiful that he was imprisoned in his freedom.
Katchi and Muller breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They knew Bai Ye's reputation outside. Such a noble young master with no great future is indeed not suitable for the dispute between the two factions. He was even on the stance of a friend. Muller was unwilling to get involved in such a thing alone.
The most surprising thing was Duke Levire. His calm expression finally changed a little. Everyone looked at the strongest master present, but he smiled and said slowly to them: "I said that this time, he doesn't have to consider my ideas. He will do whatever he decides. If there is no objection, Kach and Muller, you can go back and reply to His Majesty. By the way, let Your Majesty know that I fully support the child's own decision."
"Yes, Lord Duke!" the two of them said with their hands holding their hearts and bowing. This matter ended in another perfect way.
"Then we will hold an internal family meeting next. If you have nothing else, I will arrange for the maids to take you to their respective rooms." Hailey suddenly said, looking at Muller and the others. Naturally, they would not be stupid enough to disturb the internal family meeting and nodded to herself to express their agreement.
Haley patted her hands gently, and immediately two beautiful maids walked in from outside the door and saluted Muller and the others respectfully. The two stood up and said goodbye to everyone, and then followed the maid to leave the conference hall. When the heavy door closed, the atmosphere in the conference hall became a little relaxed.
Wen jumped away from her seat and ran to Haley and acted coquettishly. Duke Levire also restrained his serious expression, and at this moment he looked more like a loving father.
Family meeting? He was not notified in advance. Bai Ye looked at Yalian and Karen, and they also showed doubts on their faces, obviously they were not informed in advance.
"Okay, there are no outsiders here now, Bai Ye, let me tell you why you made such a decision." Duke Leviel gently patted Wen's head, and the girl immediately ran out of her mother's arms and crawled into her father's arms.
Everyone else looked at Bai Ye. Since he left the family for a long time and returned again, the changes of this young master gradually spread throughout the Duke's Mansion. Until the amazing sword in the banquet hall, they always felt that Bai Ye had become different from before.
"The reason why I don't want to join the classical aristocrat or the iron-blooded aristocrat is very simple. The situation is not clear now. I should follow my father's choice rather than make my own choice without authorization. Since my father said that I let me make a decision, you should hope to say things that will not join any force through my mouth."
Bai Ye picked up the black tea and took a sip. The sweet smell instantly filled his body. Even though he had seen various drinks in his previous life, he couldn't help but secretly praised him in his heart. He understood that whether it was humans in this world or other races, as long as they had a wise life, they might not be as rich and colorful as the drinks in their previous life, but they also had their own advantages and strengths.
He is self-righteous and thinks that having different experiences can treat others as fools, and such people will not live long.
He began to prepare these remarks after he made the decision, and sure enough, Duke Leviel asked this question.
"Speak." Duke Leviel nodded.
Yalian was also a little surprised. Maybe she was too concerned about Bai Ye, so she ignored such an obvious hint. Compared with Karen, who had not fluctuated, he must have seen this point so he was so calm.
"I guess my father has his own plans and ideas about the internal disputes of the kingdom. We should not easily participate in it. Without your instructions, this is also my consideration when choosing a territory. It doesn't matter where the territory is, but since I have given up the idea of getting along with the two forces, I should stay away from their center of gravity."
"Is there any better decision than choosing an extremely remote territory?" Bai Ye tried his best to show that he was willing to sacrifice himself for his family. This was fine. Even if his real purpose was not like this, it seemed to be flawless on the surface.
As long as he doesn't know the existence of the Tavern and Baiye Town, no one can guess his true thoughts. The more reasonable explanation is that he is in a bad mind, or as said, he sacrificed his personal interests for the family.
Bai Ye's words shocked the people present again.
Is this still the guy who only knows how to have fun all day long?
Now even Karen faced the younger brother who had heard that he was "useless". When he was practicing at the Knights Academy of the Royal Capital, he often heard rumors about this prodigal son from his companions.
Over time, he had long regarded Bai Ye as an idiotic brother who was ignorant. Looking back now, he, who was older and rarely stayed in the cold frost territory, actually did not have many days to live with this brother.
People are talking about him, and such an image naturally emerged in Karen's mind.
Who dares to say that other people are not like this?
"Look, Adols. I told you a long time ago that Bai Ye may not be as simple as you see. None of your four children is mediocre. How could Levi’s elite bloodline inherit such a fool? "Hailey smirked, as if she had seen through everything. Bai Ye especially disliked her seemingly gentle eyes.
In his impression, such women are often the most ruthless and scheming.
"Bai Ye's reputation outside is really not very good. If you think about it carefully, it is mostly greedy and lustful, and squandering evaluation. Such a noble young master is of course despised. But if you analyze it carefully, he even publicly raises witches and engages with maids. Even so, has he caused a substantial negative impact on the Levi's family? Has he caused any big trouble for this?"
Hailey smiled even brighter. Every time she said something, Bai Ye's heart skipped a beat.
He didn't know what that guy was thinking, but since he had been arranged with such a personality, he might as well just use it. It would be better to cover it up with the excuse of being seriously ill or having a bad brain.
"Speaking of it, there is really nothing!" Wen nodded. Bai Ye was clearly the type who did all the bad things but could keep it alone. This analysis shows a reasonable explanation.
Bai Ye’s real situation is not as unbearable as described outside. Some people or he is constantly pouring dirty water on himself.
Yalian and the others took a breath of air at the same time. If Hailey was right, then Bai Ye's thoughts would be too terrible. Why did he pretend to be like this? You can understand after thinking about it. Among the four, the other three were too outstanding, so dazzling that he could not match without any specialties.
Since that's the case, it's better to simply portray yourself into a bad image. Even if you fail in the future, you will not be able to suffer a devastating blow. If you have the chance to succeed, this sudden reversal will be a fatal blow!
Everyone looked at him and waited for an answer.
It’s no point to pretend again now. Bai Ye could only smile lightly and replied: “Uh… that’s it.”
After being admitted by myself, Yalian was the one who was in the most complicated mood at this moment. She always felt that she was really unnecessary to worry so much. When she thought of secretly wiping her butt for her brother's bad things, he might even laugh at her from the side. Yalian's cheeks turned red and she immediately lowered.
This guy... must teach him a good lesson in the future!
For some reason, when Yalian heard this news, she didn't feel much disgusted, but instead felt a little secretly happy, as if she had never read it wrong, and this feeling was very wonderful.
"Please don't blame me for exposing you, Bai Ye." Hailey smiled at him, and then said seriously to everyone, "Because I saw some of your thoughts, I tried my best to ask Adolus to let you attend the family meeting tonight. After all, it is too unfair to the real you to directly deprive you of your qualifications. We clergy pursue equality, and I cannot accept the inequality that appears in front of us."
Hailey urged Wen to sit back to her position. After Bai Ye's small matter was resolved, the atmosphere in the conference hall became slightly solemn again.
A glimmer flashed in Karen's eyes, and he vaguely felt that something major would happen. He was confirming Bai Ye's attitude just now, and Hailey also mentioned the word "qualification", which made him think of something at the first time.
The same thoughts were also Yalian and Bai Ye. Wen, who looked careless, actually became focused.
Bai Ye can probably guess the next topic-
