Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Xiao Ce considered himself quite clever, but he really couldn't guess what he wanted to give him.

Without further ado, the old man clapped his hands.

Soon someone walked in from outside.

This is an elderly white woman with a full head of white hair and a face full of deep wrinkles.

"Budica!"

The moment the elderly white woman walked in, she looked at Boudica with some emotion, her eyes reddening as she quickly stepped forward.

Boudica was stunned for a moment after seeing the elderly white woman, and then she became extremely excited.

"Eliza! Is it really you, Grandma Eliza?"

Boudica walked up to the elderly white woman as she spoke.

The old woman whom Boudica called Eliza nodded excitedly...

“Yes, Boudica...you’ve grown up! It’s great that you’re still alive...thank God.”

Eliza then turned back to the man, her face flushed with excitement, and said, "Sir, thank you...you didn't lie to me..."

The elder gentleman simply nodded to Eliza without saying a word.

“Grandma Eliza, are you alright? I thought you…” Boudica said, sobbing softly.

In fact, Xiao Ce's impression of Boudica was that she was a very strong woman; even when she saw her uncle Brian Carter, she only seemed excited.

But it's rare to see someone cry so pitifully...

Eliza smiled at Boudica and said, "Boudica, I'm alright... Shortly after your accident, your uncle took me to the Brian family. Later, he went to sea, and I knew he was looking for you. So I decided to stay here..."

"Because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find your family after you came back... Fortunately, I waited for you..."

The old man then said to Eliza, "Eliza, you two will have plenty of time to catch up later. Have you prepared everything I asked you to?"

After listening to Mr. Big's words, Eliza smiled and said, "Everything is ready!"

The elder gentleman continued, turning to Eliza, "Alright, then let him handle it..."

As the elder gentleman spoke, he pointed towards Xiao Ce.

Eliza didn't show anything, but simply took out an exquisite crystal box and walked up to Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce took it.

The old man continued, "Open it and take a look."

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded as he listened to the old master's words.

Then the crystal box was opened.

The crystal box contained a large bunch of keys and some paper documents.

Before Xiao Ce could even open it,

The old man said, "This is a gift for you, this entire Wolong Manor..."

hiss...

After Xiao Ce finished listening, everyone present was astonished.

Of course, the eldest gentleman, the second gentleman, and Eliza are exceptions.

They seemed to have known all along.

Xiao Ce always felt that this gentleman was joking.

After all, it's said that one shouldn't accept rewards without merit...

Xiao Ce produced the certificate for the manor, which clearly stated that the owner was Targaryen Boudica.

The certificate was issued two years ago.

Xiao Ce stared wide-eyed at the Master: "Master, did you already know two years ago that Boudica was still alive? And did you start building this manor for her?"

The old man smiled and explained to Xiao Ce, "Wrong, it's not for her. It's for you. Using her name is simply to make it easier for Eliza."

The young master completely ignored Xiao Ce's gaping mouth and astonished expression...

He said to himself, "So? Do you like it?"

Xiao Ce said to the elder master, "Elder master, you knew about Boudica two years ago, and you also knew that Boudica was with me... You also knew my identity, which is why you built a palace for me."

Boudica was equally confused at this point.

Xiao Ce was lost in thought. Two years ago? Back then, they were still fighting the Japanese pirates.

The old man chuckled and said, "You could say that. Although you were doing underground business in the ancient Roman Empire... it wasn't easy to evade us..."

After listening to what the Master said, Xiao Ce spoke of the news they had spread.

That news is definitely fake news.

And now they're cooperating with me?

If he was just confused before, now Xiao Ce was completely clueless about what they were up to...

Mr. Da didn't seem to want to explain.

He said directly to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, do you like this gift? If you do, accept it. This manor is yours, including everything inside... We have provided you with everything you need."

"Besides, as far as I know, you don't seem to have a place to stay right now... You're practically a wanderer, so this place should suit your taste, right..."

Xiao Ce considered himself to be very clever and quick-witted, but he still hadn't had time to process what was happening.

Boudica glanced at Eliza, who simply nodded to Boudica, indicating that she could accept it.

"So? Are you afraid to accept it? Or is it not to your liking?"

Xiao Ce smiled helplessly, then stared at the old master again: "Who exactly are you?"

The old man just stared at Xiao Ce, unable to see his face.

Therefore, Xiao Ce was unaware of his expression at that moment.

"To be honest, I don't dare accept it... I feel like this is a trap you've set for me..."

The old man shrugged and then said, "Fine, you have the right to choose... However, what I've given away can't be taken back. Besides, you've seen that the manor has been Boudica's property for two years..."

"If you don't want it, you can sell it, or just leave it here..."

Hearing the eldest master's domineering words, Xiao Ce was both amused and exasperated, and said, "So, you mean... you're going to force me to give it to you?"

The old man laughed heartily: "That's right, I'll give it to you."

His smile made Xiao Ce feel somewhat dazed again.

I definitely know him.

But I just can't remember.

"Alright, we've said what we needed to say, and what we shouldn't have said. We've given you what we needed to give... It's time for us to go."

As he spoke, the eldest gentleman stood up, followed by the second gentleman.

The two women walked up to Xiao Ce: "When the time comes, let Eliza show you around here properly, then you won't want to give her away..."

Xiao Ce looked at the Master with a puzzled expression.

Before he could speak, the eldest gentleman said to Kimberly, "Come to Kimberly, see us off..."

Xiao Ce naturally knew that the eldest master had something to say to Kimberly...

However, he didn't say anything.

Xiao Ce has always prided himself on his clear thinking; he is the kind of person who thinks a hundred steps ahead before taking a single step.

But in just that short time, Xiao Ce's mind went blank.

My head felt like it had been filled with a lump of paste.

After watching them leave, Boudica introduced him to Eliza, saying, "Grandma, this is my benefactor, Mr. Ce. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today... I'd probably be dead by now."

Eliza bowed to Xiao Ce: "Mr. Ce, thank you so much..."

Xiao Ce smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing... it's our destiny."

Boudica immediately noticed the doubt in Xiao Ce's eyes.

She then introduced Eliza to Xiao Ce, saying, "Eliza, my mother's wet nurse, raised me from a young age..."

Boudica's brief introduction made Xiao Ce realize the importance of this person.

Boudica nodded at Xiao Ce but didn't respond.

He then turned to Eliza and asked, "Grandma Eliza, this..."

Eliza said to Boudica, "Mr. Ce, Miss Boudica, although I don't know why those two gentlemen wanted to give this place to you, I can only say that there's nothing wrong with the manor itself... and I think Boudica, you'll need it."

As she spoke, Eliza gave Boudica a meaningful look.

This scene was witnessed by Xiao Ce.

Seeing her looking at him, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Alright... now that the manor is in your hands, I'd like to see it..."

After Xiao Ce smiled, he gestured for Eliza to lead the way.

As he spoke, he called Da Lei and Ye Mao over.

The two people asked with curiosity what was going on, and Xiao Ce briefly explained what had just happened.

He's lost his mind right now; he needs to brainstorm.

Da Lei and Ye Mao didn't overthink it this time, and said very directly, "Sir, don't overthink it. Let's just look around first. We're professionals, and if there's a problem here, we'll be able to find it right away."

"If we can't manage, we can always send the Shadow Guards. They're really skilled... and this building is quite well-constructed; at the very least, we can exchange it for a large sum of money..."

"Besides, you yourself said that it's already under Ms. Boudica's name, and that can't be changed. If you wanted to cheat her, you already have..."

Night Owl nodded: "Besides, I don't think he's trying to set us up. You said that Eliza is very important to Boudica. There are many ways he could harm us; he wouldn't use something this complicated..."

"Brother, didn't you say you had so many ways to deal with us? Why use the most troublesome one... it's not worth it."

After listening to Night Cat's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded in agreement.

After touring around the Wolong Manor, I found it to be very well-built and exquisite.

Eliza led the way while constantly introducing the place.

“Every drawing and every landscape feature here was created by these gentlemen.”

"It seems that the craftsmen here all came from the far east, a total of three hundred people, arriving one after another. They worked day and night to build, which is why we have the results today."

“Boudica, I personally supervised everything here, and from what I see so far... there shouldn't be anything fishy going on. As for why those two gentlemen did this, I don't know... but they seem to be good people.”

When Boudica heard Eliza say this, she asked with some curiosity, "Good person, why are you so sure?"

Eliza said, "Because after they gave me their instructions, they just provided the money and didn't interfere at all. They kept telling me to treat the craftsmen well... They must not be the kind of people who would mistreat their servants... I don't think people who can respect their servants can be too bad."

Boudica listened to Eliza's words and nodded thoughtfully.

I think that makes sense.

Xiao Ce noticed a sentence that Eliza had just said.

In other words, after their visit, they will definitely like this place and need it.

However, Xiao Ce toured almost the entire manor, and although it was quite nice...

It would be a good place to retire.

However, Xiao Ce did not come all this way just to retire here.

If Xiao Ce wanted to retire comfortably, he could have lived a hundred, a thousand times more extravagantly in the Xiao Kingdom than he did here...

Now that he's looked around, this isn't what he needs.

It's quite far from Lingas City, so overall it's not very convenient.

Now that he knew about Kimberly's power, Xiao Ce was even more unwilling to leave the Gas Hotel.

If it really caused a huge problem, judging from the attitudes of those two senior and junior gentlemen...

Kimberly will definitely defend Xiao Ce.

That means absolute safety.

Why bother coming all the way here?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ce said to Eliza, "Eliza, you said we would definitely stay here... but after visiting, to be honest... this place is indeed very beautiful... but there's nothing that compels us to stay..."

Eliza smiled and said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, that's natural, because this is what you can see..."

As she spoke, Eliza looked at Big Thunder and Night Owl.

It's obvious that Eliza doesn't trust either of them.

Boudica understood Eliza's implication and explained, "Grandma Eliza, these two are our sworn brothers. They protect us, and we can entrust our lives to them."

After listening to Boudica's words, Eliza said, "Okay... are you sure? What we're about to see is the most amazing part of this Crouching Dragon Manor..."

Boudica and Xiao Ce were indeed very interested.

Xiao Ce had already vaguely guessed that there were still places to visit.

We've pretty much seen everything here.

That's below.

Sure enough, Eliza led them to the palace once again.

Then, in a large hall at the back of the palace, Eliza turned one of the mechanisms.

Then a rumbling sound came from one of the walls.

Then, the entrance to an underground passage, about two meters wide, was revealed.

Eliza led the group downstairs.

"Actually, the most amazing part of this Wolong Manor isn't the top, but the bottom... This underground palace is the real Wolong Manor! You'll see how amazing it is once you go down!"
