Chapter 12 Lin Tantian

After five days of trekking, Li Xingyi and Lin Lu finally arrived at the Duke of Bingji's Mansion. The mercenary group completed their mission and left.

There are two dukes in the Xingluo Empire.

One is Dai Huabin’s father, Duke of White Tiger Dai Hao, and the other is Lin Luyu’s father, Duke of Ice Pole Lin Tantian.

The White Tiger Duke's Mansion is located in the northwest of Xingluo City, close to Shrek Academy.

The Duke of Bingji's Mansion is located in the southeast of Xingluo City, close to the former capital of the Tiandou Empire. But now the Tiandou Empire has collapsed, and half of its territory currently belongs to the Xingluo Empire.

Speaking of which, Lin Tantian is a man of genuine character.

Both his parents and the Xingluo Emperor wanted him to take a concubine so that his powerful bloodline could spread, but he refused to agree and only loved Wang Qin. After this incident spread, it gradually became a good story in the soul master world.

"Let's go, Brother Xingyi!"

Lin Luyu was extremely excited along the way. After getting off the carriage, he pulled Li Xingyi and ran towards the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

dong dong dong-

A few seconds after knocking on the door, two guards in full armor opened the door and walked out.

Their expressions were like those of wolves and tigers, as if they were ready to devour the newcomers.

But when they saw that the person coming was Lin Luyu, their expressions immediately became gentle, like adults coaxing a child.

"Is the little deer back?" a guard asked in a coquettish voice.

The other guard ran towards the Duke's Palace.

Lin Luyu never acted like a master towards the servants in his house. Instead, he tried to be as equal as possible with everyone, so he had a very good relationship with everyone.

Lin Luyu nodded and replied, "Yes, uncle, our sequence class will graduate this year! I came back with Brother Xingyi because we don't have to make up for the holidays."

It was only after Lin Luyu finished speaking that the guard discovered that there was a boy following him.

Although the boy didn't look strong, the sharpness in his eyes made him feel a little cold.

Is this really the expression a child should have?
Da da da--

At this moment, the sound of high heels touching the ground came from far away inside the Duke's Mansion.

Then a noble lady came running out in a carefree manner. It was obviously the Duchess Wang Qin.

Maybe it was because she took good care of herself, Li Xingyi didn't feel that the past few years had left any traces on Wang Qin's face. She was still as dignified and beautiful as she was six years ago.

Wang Qin did not stop along the way. Instead, he quickened his pace again after seeing Lin Luyu. He hugged Lin Luyu and lifted him up.

"Hahaha...my little deer baby is finally back. I missed him so much!"

Being lifted into the air by her mother, with several people standing around her, the twelve-year-old Lin Lu was instantly overwhelmed by shame, and her face became noticeably flushed.

"Mom...someone's here~" Lin Luyu's voice was so soft that only Wang Qin could hear it.

"What are the others doing? Could it be that the little deer has grown up and hates his mother?"

As Wang Qin spoke, an aggrieved expression appeared on her face, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

Seeing this, Lin Lu helplessly stretched out his hands and rubbed Wang Qin's face, "How could I dislike my mother? I love my mother the most. I was... I was shy..."

At this time, a majestic man also walked over slowly from behind.

He has a pair of sharp eyes on his diamond-shaped face, sword-like eyebrows, and a high nose bridge... Although there are several obvious wrinkles on his face, they cannot conceal his heroic spirit.

The scars on his body from old injuries only highlighted his masculinity.

Lin Tantian is a Super Douluo, but his exact level is not clear. Basically, he goes into battle personally and leads the soldiers to charge. His reputation in the army is even higher than that of White Tiger Duke Dai Hao.

"Is this the Duke of Ice? Damn, only men can understand how handsome he is!" Li Xingyi muttered in his heart. Lin Tantian walked to Li Xingyi, looked at him for a few seconds and said, "Xingyi, Xiaolu is really a bother to you over there. She has been dependent on others since she was a child..."

There was no emotion on Lin Tantian's face, but he always gave people a sense of oppression.

"Uncle, it's nothing. The little deer is still very well behaved."

"Well... let's go to the study and talk."

……

The study in the Duke of Bingji's mansion.

This is where Lin Tantian usually handles his affairs.

Although he was a military general, as a duke, he usually needed to handle all the major and minor affairs of his fiefdom himself.

There are several ink paintings hanging on the walls of the study. The paintings show a general practicing archery under a waterfall. The signature shows that it was painted by Lin Tantian himself.

The calligraphy on the bookshelf also has Lin Tantian's signature.

Li Xing originally thought that Lin Tantian was just a military commander with exceptional combat power, but he did not expect that he was actually a hexagonal warrior who was proficient in every aspect.

"sit down."

Lin Tantian waved his hand towards the chair.

Then he turned and walked to the shelf nearby and took out a tea cake from an exquisite small wooden box.

"Xingyi, this is my treasured tea. It was taken from a ten-thousand-year-old plant spirit beast. I usually can't bear to take it out. Although you kids probably don't like drinking tea, you must drink some. It's good for your health!"

There were no servants in the study, and Lin Tantian's demeanor completely changed, becoming extremely enthusiastic.

It is obvious from the character of the Duke of Ice that his indifference towards his servants is just a disguise. In fact, he is a passionate and just person.

Since Lin Lu was young, he could naturally get along with the servants on an equal footing.

But Lin Tantian is a duke and the leader of a large territory. He must establish the proper authority so that it will be easier to manage.

"Okay uncle."

Li Xingyi did not refuse. Although he was a coffee lover in his previous life, he was also willing to drink tea.

call--

Taking the teacup, Li Xingyi blew on it first and then took a small sip.

In an instant, a clear feeling burst out from the mouth and quickly swept through the whole body.

"Um?!"

Li Xing shuddered, and he suddenly realized that this sip of tea had caused his soul power to boil.

"My soul power...what is this?"

"Hahaha……"

Lin Tantian, who was at the other end of the tea table, laughed. It was obvious that he had expected Li Xingyi to behave like this.

"This is the special feature of this tea! Actually, I just lied to you. It is not an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, but the bud tip of a thirty-thousand-year-old immortal grass that has given birth to spiritual intelligence. The other parts were absorbed by me, and the bud tip was left to make this cake of tea."

Li Xingyi opened his mouth unconsciously in shock.

The next second, he quickly picked up the teacup in front of him, not caring whether it was hot or not, opened his huge mouth and drank it all in one gulp.
