When Rose saw him coming, she showed a timid expression again and looked at her brother for help.

Unfortunately, Adilheid did not stop his adoptive father's actions, and he comforted his sister aptly: "It's okay, adoptive father hasn't seen you for a long time."

"It's too small. I won't do it."

Wu Ji picked up Rose with one hand, like a child, and let her sit on his right arm.

"Let me go! I'm not a child anymore!"

Rose struggled and punched his chest with her tiny fists, but it was no use.

"You still say you're not a child? How old are you?"

"14!"

"Then let me ask you again, how old were you in 98?"

"Isn't '98 next year? Of course I'll be 15! You idiot, are you out of your mind? You don't even know that!"

Wu Ji got a satisfactory answer and looked at Maidjovis and the others seriously.

"Did you hear that? She said '98 is next year! She'll be one year older next year!"

"What about you guys? Isn't it time for '98 to be another year older?"

Hearing his boastful tone of trying to prove himself, Mai Zhuo snorted and didn't bother to reply.

"Master Wu Ji, if you are sick, stop dwelling on this. No one will know you are sick unless you tell them."

"Isn't it natural for Rose to be a year older next year? But our age-growing year isn't 98, so how can she be a year older?"

Weiss smiled and revealed his true identity: "You may not know yet, but our boss, your godfather, Wu Ji, suffers from time perception disorder syndrome."

She pointed at Wu Ji's head: "There's something wrong here."

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Adilhaide pursed his lips and said resolutely: "Don't worry, godfather, even if you are sick, we will take good care of you."

"Isn't it just the perception of time? It's okay, from now on we will keep track of your time and age. We are your clock!"

The tearful look on his face is so touching, showing the loving father and filial son.

Why does it feel like you want to take care of me in my old age?

MD, you can’t reason with a group of people with distorted common sense.

Wu Ji walked into the villa angrily.

"Don't mention this, let's get down to business."

"How's the process of getting you in touch with the Branktosh family going?"

"Have you noticed anything unusual about their family?"

Chapter 234 From Ancient Times

"Blanctoché is a prominent family in France that has only been around for two thousand years. They are willing to support the weak and have noble character, making them very popular among the local residents."

"And the current head of the Blanktosh family is a woman who has just come of age, Elizabeth Blanktosh."

"Another prominent family in the area, along with the Blanktosh family, is the Climson family. However, two years ago, a fire broke out in this Climson family, and the entire family was burned to death, with only one little boy surviving."

"After that, Elizabeth adopted this little boy named Ash Clementson and raised him as her adopted brother."

"However, it is said that many people in the Blanche family suspect that the fire was related to Ash and they dislike him very much."

Adilhaide pushed the photo of Elizabeth and Ash in front of Wu Ji.

"It's pretty much what I knew before. What else?"

Wu Ji picked up the photo of the siblings and looked at it carefully.

Sister Elizabeth is handsome and heroic, while brother Ash is expressionless.

Like Joan and Jane, they are the type where the older sister is like a boy and the younger brother is like a girl, which is the opposite of Tiangang.

Ash's expression was cold, but there was a hint of tender affection in his eyes as he looked at Elizabeth.

Judging from the photos, the relationship between the siblings is good.

Two years ago, in 95, a fire broke out in Climmensen, which happened to be the year when the time disorder occurred.

This should be the time when the "God" sent Ash to the modern era.

"I followed my adoptive father's orders and prepared to approach the other party in the name of Bernstein, but..."

Adilheid frowned, not knowing what to say next.

Rose snorted and took over the topic: "It's just that her family thinks what father did before was too dirty. They are too concerned about their reputation and don't want to bother with us."

"What a thousand-year-old noble, so arrogant! He deserves to be burned to ashes in a huge fire."

"Not only that Clemenssen, but the entire Blanktosh family should be killed!"

The girl with golden twintails jumped unhappily.

"What are you doing pretending to be a noble gentleman? You're neither male nor female. Disgusting."

She complained indignantly, then picked up a drink on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

It seems that Rose really hates this brother and sister.

Wu Ji touched Rose's golden twintails. She stiffened, but did not refuse.

"Is that so... Then please make an appointment with Elizabeth so I can check their quality."

"I hope she'll welcome me."

He stood up and stretched his muscles.

The last time I met them both, it was too hasty. My strength hadn't recovered much at that time, so I only had time to leave a small gift for Ash before leaving.

But this time, we can go and see the person behind Ash.

See if it is He who has caused the common sense changes in this world.

......

A fierce argument was going on in the hall of the Blanquettesh family's castle.

"How many times have I told you this!"

"There's still no evidence that the fire at the Clemson residence is related to Ash!"

Elizabeth stood at the end of the long table, her fingertips resting on the surface, stabbing the elders of the family word by word.

"He's just a child now, a child who lost his entire family! Why are you targeting him?!"

Once again, she discovered that the children in the family were bullying Ash and isolating him.

These respected elders not only did not stop it, but instead fanned the flames behind the scenes.

Either they withheld Ah Xiu's pocket money, or they deliberately provided Ah Xiu with expired and spoiled food.

Even the maid in the house would mock him in front of Ash, calling him a "bastard" who came out of nowhere.

Elizabeth is the head of the family, but she has no deterrent power as the head of the family.

Even after repeated warnings, some people still disobeyed her orders.

Behind this is a group of old guys who are causing trouble and trying to force Ash away.

"Elizabeth!"

An old man with a long gray beard slammed the table, causing the porcelain cups on the table to clink.

"I know you have a good relationship with that kid and you consider him your brother, but he's an outsider after all! We don't know his background! If something happens, can you take the responsibility?"

"What outsider?! Ash is from the Crimson family, not an outsider! Haven't our two families supported each other for thousands of years?"

Elizabeth leaned on the table and looked around at everyone. "Now he's the only one left in the Crimson family. Shouldn't we help them restore their former glory?"

"If disaster strikes again, we'll still need his strength to fight the demons together!"

"I don't know why you're so scared of a child!"

"Because he looks different from the Clemensons!" An elderly woman finally couldn't help herself and stood up to scold Elizabeth. "I wasn't sure at first, but as the child grows older, he looks more and more different from the Clemensons!"

Her saliva was flying everywhere, and she didn't look like a wealthy lady at all.

"Instead, he..."

The old lady trembled with fear at this point, but she insisted on finishing her words: "He actually looks just like the devil in the legend!"

This is the main reason for today's quarrel.

Ash, who is in his growth spurt, grows up quickly, but the older he gets, the more he looks like the demon described in ancient books.

A demon that looks like a human but brings disaster and destruction.

Everyone present was silent.

It must be admitted that as they watched Ash grow up day by day, they felt fear, an indescribable fear.

It was like the demons of the past had returned.

"Humph, what a joke."

Elizabeth snorted coldly, "Ash can use the Crimson family's unique Emerald Flame. Doesn't this prove his identity?"

"..."

The bearded old gentleman disagreed with Elizabeth's explanation. "But hundreds of the Crimson family perished in the fire, and yet he was the only one who survived... This is bizarre! How could a child survive such a devastating fire?"

Elizabeth suddenly laughed.

That smile sent chills down everyone's spine.

The last time she laughed like this was when she massacred the bullying side branch and became the clan leader.

"bass!"

She suddenly drew her sword and slashed at the corner of the long table!

"I told you, Ash is my family!"

"He's my brother!"

"If anyone dares to touch Ash, I will fight him to the death!"

"Don't ever mention this matter again!"

......

Ash, who was standing outside the door, listened to the quarrel in the hall with his ears tilted.

He lowered his eyes and returned to his room in silence.

Ash understood the Blanche family's hostility and vigilance towards him. He knew Elizabeth was under too much pressure. He felt Elizabeth's love for him, and he knew even more clearly...

My real mission!

When he is alone, he can hear the call from ancient times.

The shadow under his feet seemed to have life, stretched out by the moonlight, swallowing up his outline.

A hoarse beast voice rang in my ears.

"Ash, it's time to take the next step."

"Destroy the Blanktosh family, just like you destroyed the Crimson family before!"

The sound seemed to seep out from deep within the bone marrow, carrying with it an ancient dampness and bloodiness.

Ash suddenly covered his right ear, his nails unconsciously becoming sharper, leaving several bloody marks on his skin.

He bit his lips so hard that they drew blood.

Elizabeth believed in him so much that she argued with everyone in the family just to protect him.

She believes in herself.

He knew that Elizabeth already regarded him as her own brother.

But didn't he also treat Elizabeth as his own sister?
