Volume 3 Chapter 155 - Viscount Leslie’s determination (1/2)

“Master, does it still hurt?”

Seeing Xu Yi touch his lip, Linda asked in a concerned voice.

Xu Yi shook his head with a bitter smile, “It does hurt, but with this appearance, it won’t be good if I go home. If Still were to see this, how would I explain it…..”

Linda covered her mouth to laugh.

“Who had master be careless and let Princess Caroline force a kiss. If the madame saw this, she would definitely know what happened.”

Xu Yi angrily glared at her, “If Still asks, I’ll just say you bit me!”

“The madame wouldn’t believe this, she knows that I wouldn’t be this bold.”

Seeing Linda secretly laugh, Xu Yi gave a helpless sigh as he thought that he wouldn’t be able to explain this.

The best method was honestly just to tell Still and try his best to get her to forgive him.

Seeing that the Magic Car was about to enter Anvilmar City, Xu Yi shook his head and didn’t think about this.

After getting off, Xu Yi brought Linda to Count Sean’s residence.

Housekeeper Lahm received a notice from Count Sean two days ago and knew that Xu Yi would arrive today, so he prepared everything. When he saw Xu Yi and Linda appear, he came forward to welcome them.

“Chairman Xu, Viscount Leslie and Baron Hannas are already waiting for you.”

Xu Yi was surprised, “Viscount Leslie? When did he come back?”

Before Housekeeper Lahm could answer, a laugh came from inside.

“I’ve been back for half a month, I never thought that I would be able to see you today.”

Xu Yi looked over with a gaze of pleasant surprise before moving over with a smile.

“Lord Viscount, long time no see!”

Viscount Leslie laughed, “Xu Yi, you are a viscount yourself, you can’t address me this respectfully anymore.”

Xu Yi quickly shook his head, “I’ve always been respectful to Lord Viscount. This isn’t related to the laws of the Royal Parliament, it’s purely because of the respect in my heart.”

Viscount Leslie turned to Baron Hannas nearby, “Look, after not seeing each other for two years, Xu Yi’s become better at speaking compared to before. It’s no wonder the Frestech Chamber of Commerce is developing this well.”

Baron Hannas gave a shrug, “I think that he’s right, otherwise wouldn’t I have to call you Lord Viscount every time I saw you?”

Xu Yi and Viscount Leslie looked at each other before breaking out in laughter.

“Alright, let’s ignore the rules of the nobles. We’re all old friends, we can call each other what we wish. Xu Yi, just act like Hannas and call me Leslie. No matter what, you are a very famous person in the kingdom, you’re not a small merchant like before, you can’t be as respectful to me as before.” Viscount Leslie said.

Xu Yi hesitated a bit before nodding, “Alright, Vis…..Un, Leslie, do you have any plans now that you’re back?”

“There is something that I wanted to discuss with you. I discussed with your company’s manager Flaime before, but he told me that he couldn’t make the final decision and needed to wait for you.”

“Discuss with me?” Xu Yi was a bit confused. He looked over at Hannas with a questioning gaze.

Baron Hannas shook his head. Viscount Leslie laughed as he took Xu Yi and walked out.

“Come, I’ve already ordered a room at the Chanel Restaurant! You can’t leave without getting drunk tonight!”

Xu Yi could only helplessly look at Housekeeper Lahm to take care of Linda before he was pulled out by Viscount Leslie and Baron Hannas.

“Speaking of the northern army, it really was difficult.”

Viscount Leslie gave a deep sigh as his eyes filled with memories and emotions.

“You might have never thought that in the cold environment of the north where one could freeze to death at any time, there were many soldiers that didn’t even have a coat.”

“Wouldn’t many people freeze to death?” Baron Hannas on the side couldn’t help asking.

“Not that many froze to death.” Viscount Leslie shook his head, “But the few people who did freeze to death weren’t lies.”

Baron Hannas and Xu Yi looked at each other, as they revealed a slight trace of unwillingness.

The banquet was half over and the wine was half gone. When Viscount Leslie heard the two of them asking about the northern army, it was like a recorder had been turned on and he kept spewing out words.
