"Huh?" Shen Ci noticed Lu Shuo's sudden pause, and turned around without knowing why, "What's wrong."

Lu Shuo withdrew his eyes and shook his head: "It's nothing."

Shen Ci also noticed Herrell who looked guilty, and didn't care too much at first, but Lu Shuo's pause made him a little suspicious.

Shen Ci thoughtfully looked at the direction Herrell was leaving again.

"Xiaoba," he said in his heart, "help me keep an eye on that person."

After all, keep an eye out.

"Yes!" 888 quickly took the order.

-

A few days later, Shen Ci received another banquet invitation from Princess Minoya.

Everyone in the royal city knew that the little princess liked to hold banquets, but no one doubted it.

Same as last time, Shen Ci used Lu Shuo's cover to meet privately with Princess Minoya at the banquet.

"You're right." As soon as we met, Minoya hurried up to him, "I sent someone to check, and the power of the seal is indeed weakening."

In the previous few secret letter exchanges, Shen Ci told her the plot of the original text as a conjecture, but she didn't expect the little princess to verify it so quickly in just a few days.

"But it shouldn't be so fast!" Minoya frowned, "There must be people from the church deliberately playing tricks inside!"

Shen Ci took a sip of tea, "The archbishop doesn't care about things now," he said calmly, "I'm afraid only those cardinals can make such a commotion."

Minoya pursed her lips: "But there are five cardinals, so it's inconvenient to check."

"At the time when there were frequent attacks on the royal city," Shen Ci put down the tea, and tapped his finger on the table, "is there any good bishop who happened not to be in the royal city?"

Minoya quickly realized: "Love Reed!"

"Yes," she paced back and forth in the room, "I said why did he suddenly apply to send paperwork to the northern branch church? It's a trivial matter and just send someone there."

Minoya sneered: "It makes sense now. If he's not in the city, he can leave this matter behind. No wonder he was so anxious to get out earlier."

She always works quickly, and immediately made a decision, "I'll send someone to investigate now!" Minoya laughed sarcastically, "The north is the sphere of influence of our royal family. This idiot actually ran to the north."

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became: "Once I get the evidence, I will arrest him immediately. This kind of scandal will definitely make the church fall!"

Shen Ci came to this world only for Lu Shuo, and didn't want to get too involved in the struggle between the royal family and the church. Seeing that the matter of arresting Elide had been settled, she only smiled lightly when she heard this, and didn't say anything more.

This meeting ended soon, Shen Ci stretched lazily and walked towards the garden.

But when he returned to the garden, he didn't see Lu Shuo who should be waiting here.

Shen Ci: "..."

Shen Ci: "Xiao Ba, don't you think this scene looks familiar?"

888: "A little bit."

Shen Ci: "."

He will never bring Lu Shuo to this banquet again.

-

The night was thick, and the moon was hidden in the clouds.

On a path in the banquet garden, the sound of the wind blowing the blades of grass could be heard faintly. Herriel froze for a moment, looked around guiltyly, and was relieved when he saw no one, and then shouted dissatisfiedly behind him. :

"Hurry up! Otherwise, your good master will find out in advance, and we will have no good fruit to eat!"

Behind him, Lu Shuo followed silently, with his head slightly lowered, and the moonlight stretched his shadow long and thin.

Herrell felt relieved when he saw him being silent, and he was very obedient to himself.

Ha, what about the blood slaves of the Duke of Sith?

Herrell thought contemptuously, he was hooked after giving him a little temptation.

10 minutes ago, the banquet.

After the embarrassment at the last banquet, Herrell didn't dare to look for Shen Ci this time, but he still couldn't help feeling angry.

After losing such a big face, he felt that the entire aristocratic circle was laughing at him openly and secretly!

When the banquet was in the middle, he accidentally glanced over, but saw the blood slave brought by Shen Ci standing there alone.

Herrell hiccupped drunkenly, thinking of Shen Ci's humiliation to him, he felt ashamed for a moment, and walked to the side of this blood slave aggressively.

"Come here," Herrell patted the blood slave's face, and said contemptuously, "serve me for one night, and I'll give you ten gold coins."

He originally thought that he might have to use some coercive means, but he didn't expect the blood slave to agree after taking a look at him.

Despicable vampires indeed.

But if Sith knew that his blood slave was taken away so easily, he would definitely be so angry that he would curse.

Thinking of this, Herrell laughed heartily.

So what if Sith gets angry at that time, he didn't force the blood slave, and it wasn't the blood slave who degraded himself and wanted to go with him, everything has nothing to do with him.

After he finishes enjoying this blood slave, he will spread the news to the whole king city, and let that arrogant guy Sith lose face!

Herrell was thinking about it triumphantly, completely oblivious to what was behind him. Lu Shuo silently raised his head, and his eyes fell on the necklace on his neck.

The necklace is golden in color, and in the middle is a hollowed-out Xingyue pendant with complicated and exquisite patterns.

Lu Shuo looked at the necklace with unclear eyes.

In front, Herrell urged again, his tone full of the smell of alcohol: "Go faster!"

Lu Shuo responded lightly, but his ten fingers hanging on the side of his legs gradually grew sharp claws, which were sharp and long, and could cut a person's throat at once.

Lu Shuo moved his gaze from the necklace to Herrell, thinking about where to start.

Herrell had a guilty conscience, and was afraid of running into Shen Ci ahead of time, so he took Lu Shuo to all the remote paths, and it was just convenient for him in the dead of night.

Herrell in front didn't feel the imminent danger at all, but just as Lu Shuo was about to make a move, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Herrell, where are you taking my blood slave?"

The voice is indifferent, it is the Duke.

Lu Shuo paused, and immediately withdrew his sharp claws, and turned around to look.

Herrell also heard this voice, and suddenly woke up three minutes from the wine.

He turned around slowly stiffly, and swallowed a few times uneasily.

"West……"

Before he could finish his sentence, a whip suddenly came violently and hit him in the face.

"Ow!!"

Herrell screamed, covered his face and fell to the ground, rolling all over the ground in pain.

Over there, Shen Ci swung the whip again, and whipped it over again.

"Ow!!"

Herrell couldn't dodge in time, and soon another whip mark was thrown out of his body.

After being whipped several times in a row, he yelled angrily: "Sith!! What are you doing!!"

"Hit you." Shen Ci's tone was indifferent, as if it was just a trivial matter, "You should have thought of it when you dared to take my blood slave away, shouldn't you?"

"I'm a nobleman!!" Herrell didn't have time to be afraid now, the pain made him roar angrily, "How dare you openly beat a nobleman in the royal city?!"

Shen Ci sneered, and he swung the whip again, beating Herrell's skin to pieces.

"What are you?" the Duke said coldly, but anyone could see that he was angry. "So what if I hit you?"

"You!!" Herrell blushed with anger, suddenly calmed down, and then sneered, "But you probably don't know, your blood slave came here by yourself, I didn't force him, Duke of Sith, look Come on, your blood slave doesn't want to be with..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a whip.

"I don't care about you," the Duke said in a willful and unreasonable way. "No matter what the reason is, if you dare to take my blood slave away, that's your problem."

"you--"

Herrell was extremely angry, but the continuous whipping interrupted his words, so he could only dodge in embarrassment.

At the back, even if Shen Ci's whip didn't fall on him, Herrell would subconsciously let out a howl if there was a crisp "crack!" sound on the ground beside him.

Shen Ci tut tut: "This is called conditioned reflex."

888 snorted.

When he was about to throw another whip, Lu Shuo stopped him.

"Master," he said softly, "that's enough, don't hit me."

Although Herrell is not as noble as Shen Ci, but he is also a nobleman, his wife's family and the royal family have in-laws, and Shen Ci can't take care of things when things get big.

Shen Ci glanced sideways, and said in a displeased tone, "Do you think I'm afraid of him?"

"No." Lu Shuo paused, and changed his reason, "It's just that he's not worth your time."

This reason succeeded, and the Duke snorted softly, but before he got angry enough, he kicked Herrell heavily on the ground who was beaten so hard that he couldn't stand up.

"Someone begged you today, so I'll let you go temporarily," he said coldly, "The next time you let me know that you harassed my blood slave, it's not just a simple beating."

Herrell's whole body was scorched by the whip, and he couldn't even stand up. Hearing this, he said angrily:

"Sis, don't think that you can be so presumptuous just because you are a duke! Let's see how arrogant you are when I sue His Majesty!"

After hearing this, Shen Ci had a sneer on his face: "Go if you have the ability."

The sarcastic ridicule undoubtedly angered Herrell, he was trembling with anger: "Okay! Okay! Just wait for me!!"

Shen Ci sneered, ignored him, and left with Lu Shuo.

After the two sat in the carriage, the atmosphere became quiet.

Shen Ci didn't let the coachman move, the carriage just stopped quietly beside the road.

Lu Shuo glanced over, the young man's beautiful and beautiful face was still a little cold, and the corners of his lips were slightly tense, obviously not completely calmed down.

The whip was stained with Herrell's blood just now, and he threw it away because he thought it was dirty.This was the first time Lu Shuo saw him get so angry.

Lu Shuo pursed his lower lip slightly.

"Master..." He just wanted to explain.

"Explain well, don't try to fool me," Shen Ci said, and he turned to Lu Shuo with a cold voice, "If you let me know that you are lying, get out of my manor right away."

"..."

Lu Shuo hesitated for a second and told the truth.

"The necklace worn by Earl Herrell," he said after a pause, "is my mother's relic."

Relic?

Shen Ci paused.

No wonder Lu Shuo followed him tonight.

He remembered that Lu Shuo's mother used to be a nun in the church. After she was executed, everything was left in the church.

Thinking of the fact that Herrell came out of the church before, Shen Ci understood, it seems that Herrell should have got the necklace from the church.

"Just for this?" Knowing the reason, the Duke's expression softened a little.

Lu Shuo lowered his eyes: "Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

The Duke frowned and didn't quite understand: "Tell me, I will naturally ask for that thing for you, what risk do you take?"

And want to kill people and steal goods.

Shen Ci clicked his tongue twice in his heart, and said to 888 in a serious manner: "In the future, I will teach this child some ideological and moral lessons."

I have lived in such a dark life since I was a child, and I don't know how the values ​​have been distorted.

Over there, upon hearing these words, Lu Shuo paused and looked up.

"But my lord," he said after a while, "that's Lord Herrell."

Although Herrell's status is one level lower than Shen Ci's, in the entire aristocratic circle, he is also at the top of the upper class.

"So what, since you are my blood slave, of course you can do whatever you want."

Shen Ci took it for granted that that delicate and beautiful face was born with arrogance.

Even if he knew that the duke was such an unreasonable and defensive character, at this moment, as the object of protection, Lu Shuo still couldn't help being dazed for two seconds.

His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but fell silent again.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Ci snorted again.

"Why, are you moved?" He changed his sitting position slightly, and said in a calm tone, "Listen well, as long as you serve me well, I will naturally protect you all the time."

As long as you are obedient and obediently lower the blackening value, Shen Ci said silently in his heart, he raised his eyes to look at Lu Shuo again, raised his chin slightly, and said arrogantly, "Got it?"

Over there, the boy was silent for a while, and then showed his first smile after coming here.

"Understood." He lowered his head slightly and said meekly, "Master."
