Li Muhan looked the man up and down. When he saw the man's extremely handsome face, Li Muhan felt something strange. He seemed to have seen this face before, and it was quite familiar...

Suddenly, Li Muhan found that the man was also looking at him with interest.

"......Um."

The man took a step forward.

He was slightly taller than Li Muhan. At this moment, his slightly thin figure standing in front of Li Muhan made Li Muhan feel a little oppressive.

"She looks pretty good."

The man suddenly raised his hand and pinched Li Muhan's chin, and then looked at it carefully.

"Fuck!"

After Li Muhan said the quintessence of Chinese culture, he quickly took a few steps back. Michael looked at the man warily, and then said to Li Muhan: "Young man, be careful. This man is different from those illusions. His existence is very strange."

"Excuse me for being rude." The man bowed slightly towards Li Muhan.

"It's just that I've always wanted to see you in person, Mr. Li Muhan, and I saw you today. To be honest, um..."

The man thought for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly and said: "It kind of disappoints me."

"Haha, then I thank you, thank you and your whole family. I would only feel unlucky if you were really interested in me."

After speaking, Li Muhan turned around and walked towards the main tower of the castle with Michael, and the man behind him also followed.

"Please don't be so anxious. This castle is now occupied by Archangels. They have control over this space, so it is not a good choice to confront them head-on here."

"Please don't walk so fast, you two, please listen to me."

"You two? Can you be polite?"

The two of them exchanged strategies for entering the castle alone, completely ignoring the man behind them.

Then, just as they were about to step onto the stairs of the castle, a barrier of holy light appeared out of thin air, blocking the two of them from the outside.

"Don't worry, it's just a bullet."

Li Muhan smiled and was about to open the realm of Ba Fu Mie, but was stopped by the man who raised his hand.

"Brother, who are you?!"

"In fact, it stands to reason that if you call me eldest brother, I can give you negative marks. It is simply unreasonable to ignore elders and younger ones."

The man looked at Li Muhan with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Secondly, you can't break this barrier with brute force."

"Ah? Why?"

Li Muhan asked doubtfully.

The man sighed and looked at Li Muhan and Michael gently but firmly, with a hint of compassion in his eyes.

"You must understand that this castle, and everything within it, is merely a reflection of that girl's inner world," the man said earnestly. "And this barrier is her last line of defense. It symbolizes her fear and resistance to the outside world, a mental barrier she built for herself after enduring tremendous trauma. But now, this barrier has been used by the two archangels as a defensive fortification."

Li Muhan was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "But aren't we doing this to save her? What's wrong with forcing a breakthrough?"

"Nonsense! Are you like this to other girls?!" The man couldn't help but glare at Li Muchan, and his angry expression looked so familiar to Li Muchan that he wanted to apologize on the spot.

"Think about it, if your inner world was forcibly invaded, how would you feel? Fear, anger, despair... Can you imagine the pain of having your soul torn apart?"

Li Muhan opened his mouth, as if to refute, but ultimately fell silent. Angel nodded thoughtfully, his expression becoming serious.

"I have a way to get you in. I know a shortcut, a path untouched by the angels. But... you must accompany me for a drink first. Especially you, Mr. Li Muhan. I must make a comprehensive assessment of you."

".....ah?"

Li Muhan scratched his head: "Why? I don't seem to know you."

"Because I don't know you and don't understand you, I must use this short time to get to know you better. Do you understand?"

"Honestly...I don't quite understand. Is this important?"

"Very important."

The man looked at Li Muhan.

Li Muhan and Michael exchanged a glance, with the latter showing some concern: "But time is of the essence now."

The man smiled and walked towards the street, waving to the two of them. "This won't take you too long, trust me."

Li Muhan and Michael looked at each other again, their eyes full of vigilance.

Although the man's attitude seemed friendly, their intuition told them that he was no ordinary person.

Especially the words he said, which were a bit incomprehensible, but also made Li Muhan feel an inexplicable sense of tension in his subconscious.

The man smiled slightly, not seeming to care about the two's attitude.

He gracefully gestured "please" to the two of them, then turned and walked towards the residential area of ​​the castle.

The two followed closely behind, carefully observing the surrounding environment along the way.

The streets here are very complete, and the houses on both sides are well-arranged.

Pedestrians walked in groups of two or three on the street, with happy smiles on their faces.

The scene is peaceful and tranquil, like a perfect utopia.

Soon, a simple and elegant building came into view. The wooden sign read "Red Moon"

There is also a picture of a cute fat cat holding a red moon below.

"Welcome to the Red Moon, the best tavern in the entire castle."

The man pushed open the heavy wooden door and gestured "come in".

"...Young man, do you have any idea?"

"I only know Blue Moon. This guy might be trying to sell laundry detergent."

To their surprise, the decoration inside the pub was surprisingly gorgeous.

The crystal chandelier reflected brilliant light, illuminating the entire hall.

Velvet sofas and rattan chairs are scattered in every corner, looking soft and comfortable.

The bar is filled with a variety of fine wines, and the colorful bottles sparkle under the lights.

The most amazing thing is the long table in the middle of the tavern.

The table was filled with all kinds of delicious food, from golden and crispy bread, to tender and juicy grilled meat, to crystal clear fruits... everything was available, it was like a luxurious feast.

"Here, everything is available." The man chuckled. "Whatever you desire, it can be given to you here. Whether it's fine wine or delicious food, everything is readily available in this castle. No one will go hungry, no one will get sick, everything is so beautiful and harmonious."

"So you opened this Blue Moon restaurant."

Li Muhan said with some confusion after sitting down.

pat-

A blood-red cocktail glass was placed in front of Li Muhan: "Hongyue, Mr. Li Muhan."

Then the man sat down opposite Li Muhan: "Now, Mr. Li Muhan, I want to ask you some questions. These questions are very important and may affect your fate. So, please answer me seriously, okay?"

Li Muhan did not go to drink, but looked at the man seriously.

"You ask first."

The man took a deep breath and then spoke.

"How old are you? Do you have any family? Have you bought a house? You should have one at your age. Do you have a car? Also, how many girlfriends have you had? Are you clean? Do you smoke? Do you drink? And do you have any violent tendencies?"

"...?"

A big question mark popped up in Li Muhan’s mind.

Chapter 564 Matryoshka Doll

I saw Li Muhan opening his mouth for a long time without saying a word.

The man sighed, and then took out a small notebook from somewhere, writing something while mumbling.

"My brain is not very bright, so I'll deduct ten points."

The moment I saw the man's indifferent expression with his head slightly lowered as he wrote.

Li Muhan finally remembered where he had seen this face.

To be precise, isn't this face the same as the person who sleeps next to him every night? ?

Just a little bit, it's very fast.

Li Muhan stood up immediately, his body standing straight, his eyes resolute, looking straight at the man in front of him.

"Brother! No, that's not right, uncle! Please, please...please give me your surname."

"What, you're still asking me questions?"

The man smiled slightly and said.

"My name is Elias, my wife's name is Summer Grace, my eldest daughter is called Shalia, and my second daughter is called Shaluer. Do you want to know more."

Michael was drinking at the side when he saw Li Muhan trembling as if he was electrified, and then suddenly bowed to the man in front of him.

"Uncle! Hello! I, my name is Li Muhan! I, I am 21 this year! I just turned 21! I am 182cm tall and weigh 60cm. I don’t smoke! I drink occasionally, don’t play cards, and don’t have any other bad habits! I, I, I am a first-year student at Tianhai City University, and I also have a serious job. I am the captain of the seventh team of the China Special Administrative Bureau! My income is not bad! I just bought a car, but now it is useless! ..."

The man raised his hand to interrupt Li Muhan.

"Well, I understand. Sit down first. Don't be nervous. I'll ask you something more."

"Young man, what's going on? Who is this person?"

Michael leaned over and asked softly.

"...my father-in-law."

After hearing Li Muhan's answer, Michael almost spit out his wine, and then he wisely sat in the corner of the tavern to make room for the two of them.

"Xia Liya...well, we should call her Xia Yue now. How is she lately?"

"Well...Uncle, if you compare it with a year and a half ago, I think Xia Yue might impress you. She now has her own friends, her own job and career, and she is full of expectations for the future. , I am very happy that I can stand by her side and walk with her."

Li Muhan was a little clever in this sentence. The implication is that no matter whether you agree or not, I will definitely stay by Xia Yue's side.

Elias's eyes softened, and he felt mixed emotions in his heart as he looked at the young man in front of him who was so nervous and incoherent.

Although this boy is a little clumsy, you can feel his sincerity and sincerity towards Xia Yue from his few words.

"Young man, I can see that you really like my Xia Yue."

Elias patted Li Muhan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Her mother and I are very grateful to you for taking such good care of her during this period of time."

Her mother...really thanked me?

Li Muhan felt chills running down his spine when he thought of that cute girl...

"Her mother is always like a child who has not grown up. Of course, I am also responsible for this. I should not leave the three of them without saying a word, but... Li Muhan, as a man, , I believe you can understand me."

Hearing Elias' words, Li Muhan's face darkened.

"Uncle, I may not understand you. I don't know what kind of existence you are, but if it were me, no matter what, I would not leave my beloved and relatives behind. You know that Xia Yue is here like a walking corpse. How long have you been wandering in this world?”

Elias said nothing, just picked up the wine glass and drank a sip of bitter wine silently.

"During this long and boring time, she had no goals or hope. Her mother didn't care about her. If I were her, I might hate parents like you, but Xia Yue didn't. She So kind, so kind that she doesn’t look like your daughter at all... After all, you can do such cruel things."

"Young man, some things can't just be taken at face value. Who doesn't have a lot of helplessness and difficulties in life? What's more, Mr. Elias is Xia Yue's father. He must have his own difficulties. Just be generous and don't be too harsh. Blame the elders.”

Michael couldn't stand listening anymore, so he kindly said to Li Muhan.

Li Muhan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that Michael was right and he shouldn't have been rude to Xia Yue's father.

But when he thought of Xia Yue's suffering over the years, he couldn't let go.

Elias saw what Li Muhan was thinking and sighed, "Li Muhan, I understand how you feel. You hate me, blaming me for not fulfilling my responsibilities as a father and for causing Xia Yue so much suffering. You're right to hate me, and I hate myself too."

He raised his head, a bitter expression on his face. "I'm not a qualified father, I know. I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye and abandoned three women. But I had no choice... Some things are beyond my control. I can only watch Xia Yue suffer outside, but I can't do anything..."

His eyes were moist and his voice was choked. "How I wish... to see Shallia and Shallul right now, hug them, and tell them how much their father loves them and misses them. But I can't... before the end comes, I can't face my daughter and wife..."

Li Muhan sighed silently, at least... Xia Yue's father and mother were still there.
