Lin Lei glanced at the maid and said coldly, "Remember, no one is allowed to enter during bathing time in my hot spring.

Everyone who comes in will receive twenty military sticks."

"Twenty military sticks?" The maid's face suddenly turned pale.

Military law is like a mountain, and military sticks are generally used for punishment in the military.

It was very heavy. Generally, a strong soldier would be unable to move for ten and a half days after being hit with twenty army sticks, while a weak woman might even be beaten to death.

"My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me." The maid quickly begged.

Lin Lei continued: "Today is your first offense, so I will punish you with twenty cane lashes. If you do it again next time, I will never show mercy."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." The maid breathed a sigh of relief.

In terms of pain, the cane whip may hurt more than a military stick when it hits the body, but the cane whip only hurts the skin and flesh, but does no harm to the bones and internal organs inside the body. It is painful but not fatal.

"Pull out." Lin Lei shouted to the four soldiers.

"Yes, Master Lin Lei." Two of the four warriors stepped forward and took the maid away. As for the plate with tea and fruit, they were placed on the ground aside.

Lin Lei knew very well that he was actually being watched by the Holy See of Light and Clyde's men.

Because the mansion was arranged by Clyde and the servants were also given by Clyde, there must be Clyde's spies involved.

And those guards came from the Holy See of Light.

Linley already knew that his mother was sacrificed by the Holy See of Light, so of course he could not reveal that he had a grudge against the Holy See of Light.

…

In June of the year 9999 of the Magnolia Calendar, Lin Lei's mansion.

Bai Ge was instructing Lin Lei to practice, but he received an invitation from someone from the Debs family.

Bai Ge is not surprised by this.

After all, Lin Lei has now entered the upper class of the Finlay Kingdom.

Regardless of whether Lin Lei goes or not, the invitation must be sent.

This is etiquette and a way to win over people.

Nobles know each other, and banquets and cocktail parties like this are often opportunities.

Moreover, the Debs family lived next door, and Lin Lei knew them, so he agreed.

…

June 18th.

According to the priests of the Holy See of Light, this is a very good day.

The Debs family chose this day to hold the engagement ceremony.

On this day, there was a lot of traffic and people coming and going in front of the Debs family.

There are aristocratic adults, rich people, beautiful ladies, pretty aristocratic ladies, handsome aristocratic young people...

On this day, in the entire Finlay City, it can be said that the Debs family gathered together with powerful people.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Linley, have arrived——"

The voice of the Debs family's waiter became a little louder, and Linley, wearing a black dress, walked into the lobby of the Debs family mansion.

Many nobles in the hall stopped talking almost at the same time and turned to look at Lin Lei.

Lin Lei looked around the hall with a slight smile on his face.

Linley's behavior was completely in line with the noble demeanor.

"Lord Linley, welcome to your arrival."

Bernard, who was originally chatting with the guest, immediately walked over to Linley. Next to Bernard was the gorgeously dressed Kalan. Kalan is today's protagonist!

"Mr. Bernard." Lin Lei smiled slightly, "Congratulations on your son's engagement."

"Thank you, thank you." Bernard said enthusiastically.

Kalan also said respectfully: "Master Lin Lei, welcome to your arrival. I hope you can have a good time today."

…

The Debs family hall is really big. Hundreds of nobles and rich people gathered here, and it didn't feel crowded at all.

Ladies and noble ladies dressed in beautiful and trendy clothes, like proud peacocks, happily shuttled among the crowd.

Especially after Lin Lei arrived, many noble ladies couldn't help but get close to Lin Lei.

This made Lin Lei feel very helpless.

Except for Delia, this group of pretty girls left Lin Lei at a loss as to what to do.

All in all, it's very awkward.

It's strange to say that Bai Ge, Delincovoort, and even Renault, Yale, and Lin Lei's elders and friends all have a romantic and passionate temperament, but Lin Lei is as simple as a blank sheet of paper in this regard.

.

Maybe many aristocratic ladies know that Lin Lei is not married yet and is alone.

Therefore, many noble ladies came to pester Lin Lei.

The parents of those noble ladies were happy to see this scene.

Because almost all the nobles in the Kingdom of Finlay understand that if anyone can make Linley their family's son-in-law, then the family will definitely take off!

who is lei?

Now he is the number one magician in the palace. Almost all the nobles know that Linley is just a name in the Kingdom of Finlay.

He will definitely become a big figure in the Holy See of Light in the future. His future status may even surpass that of the King of Finlay Kingdom!

"Lin Lei." A bold and hearty voice sounded.

Linley turned around and looked: "Your Majesty."

The noble ladies around him immediately bowed respectfully, and none of them dared to get too entangled.

Linley secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked towards Clyde.

With the king, at least those noble ladies would not dare to mess around.

"Lin Lei, do you have anyone you like?" Clyde approached Lin Lei and whispered teasingly in his ear.

Lin Lei couldn't help but look at Clyde: "Your Majesty, you don't have to tease me."

"Haha..." Clyde couldn't help laughing.

suddenly--

The sound in the entire hall fell silent. Clyde also turned around and looked towards the door of the hall. His eyes lit up and he said, "Hey, it seems the heroine has come out."

Linley also looked over.

I saw Kalan holding a beautiful woman in his right hand.

Gorgeous dress, long golden hair.

Bai Ge was unable to complain.

Alice, like Delia, is a standard Western beauty with blond hair and blue eyes like Bai Baige's previous life.

However, Delia's temperament is noble and graceful, while Alice is the kind of charming and charming person who makes people subconsciously feel protective.

Bai Ge figured it out. Lin Lei was a standard innocent boy. No wonder the original work was so miserably deceived.

It’s not unreasonable that character determines destiny...

Bai Ge seemed to have thought of something and closed his eyes.

Everyone has different personalities, and when faced with the same thing, they make different choices, and the endings are naturally different...

Bai Ge replaced himself as Lin Lei, and he found that with his temperament, he would not be in a hurry to take action.

At the very least, he will cultivate to level nine, transform into the holy realm, and then take action.

Choice is the cause, and the outcome is the effect. This is the "cause and effect" part of the rules of fate.

The rules of destiny are a whole. Unlike the laws of the seven elements, there is no clear mystical division, but it also does not require mystical fusion.

It can only be up to the practitioner to understand from what aspect.

For example, Bai Ge understands from the perspective of "cause and effect".

This is his own opinion.

However, I have some understanding of the rules of fate, which is an unexpected blessing.

One step closer to becoming a god.

…

Everyone, you can take your seats." Bernard said with a smile.
