inner court of the palace had weakened by two points. Two-thirds of it had been eroded. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the dragon energy disappeared completely, and the palace would become...Ripples exchanged his Golden Knight insignia in the surprised gaze of the middle-aged man, then left Palor City with his companions and returned to the White family's ancient castle.

"Laje, was it Bruce the Great Mage who sent you"

Lu Ye sat proudly atop his silver steed, answering the questions of his young master.

"Yes, Master! Helena suspects you of cheating, but you wouldn't stoop to such things. The Rodman family wouldn't tolerate being slandered like this."

La Ye was still a bit angry when she mentioned it.

"You don't need to be so angry, they have reasonable suspicions. It's just that I got the Golden Knight's badge this time, which would make someone uneasy."

Ripple smiled and said.

"Young Master, are you talking about Emilio"

The ripples nodded their heads.

"Master, you earned that badge through your own skill. Even if he's jealous, it won't change anything."

Luo Ye is very protective of his young master.

"That's fine, I just feel he probably wouldn't be able to bear it if I went to the Eastern Continent."

The ripples didn't say anything meaningful.

And Leia, walking with Greedo at the time, also whispered softly:

"Grey, has Lord Lian truly reached the same level as you"

She still couldn't quite believe it. Lian's promotion speed was simply too fast, almost like a three-level jump.

"Miss, Young Master Lian's knightly power is not yet at the standard of a Golden Knight, but his awakened divine power makes up for it very well, making his physical strength extremely powerful. After this supplementation, he was able to tie with Helena, the examiner."

Grey explained quietly.

What if you fought Lotus

Leia asked curiously.

"I should be able to pull ahead slightly, but in a life-or-death battle, I would definitely lose."

"Why"

"Young Master Lian's magic strength isn't bad either."

Upon hearing this from Gray, Leia immediately realized that Len Roedman was also underage and hadn't decided on a major yet. Judging by what she had seen, it seemed like he excelled in everything he did.

Lilyan and Gloria were simply happy for Ripple. The group returned to White's castle with laughter, only to be met by the butler who informed them that Simon's mother Laura had arrived.

Both Lillian and Gloria's faces fell, and then Lillian recovered quickly, patting her daughter's back.

Golia understood her mother's intentions and immediately took a deep breath, a sweet smile spreading across her face. Holding her skirt, she skipped happily towards the small banquet hall of the castle.

Several others also heard the news that the steward had announced in advance. They glanced at each other, dismounted their horses one after another, and slowly walked toward the small banquet hall.

Before several others returned, Hasan received news that Lian had been bestowed the title of Golden Knight. As the only person under the age of majority to ever achieve this rank on the continent, he naturally wanted to celebrate. Out of good fellowship, he ordered a banquet be arranged.

It happened that Laura arrived at the White house with her guards at that moment. As there was no prior contact, showing up like this was rather impolite.

But Hasan was a businessman and knew the reason this lady had come to him, so he politely received her and invited her to attend the celebration banquet for Young Master Lian.

Laura was also surprised to learn that Lian Rodman was visiting White Castle. She put away her haughty attitude and smiled, asking the young master of the Rodman family how he came to be a guest at the White family's home.

"Speaking of which, my sister Lillian and her family came to Palo City to visit their parents. On the way, they met Master Lian and Miss Leia, who were out on a training journey. Since both parties were heading in the same direction, they decided to travel together."

Young Master Lian was going to take the Knight's Rank Assessment, so they traveled for two extra days and arrived in Palo City two days earlier than expected.

Today is the day that Young Master Lian participates in the betrothal ceremony, so Lilian brought Coralia to see the festivities. If I had known that Madam would be here today, I wouldn't have let the two of them go out.

Golia missed Simon very much. As soon as she arrived, she sent a message to Simon. These past two days, she has been wandering around Parlo City, hoping to choose a sword for Simon.

Hassan said with a grin.

All the language expresses approval of Simon and also indirectly shows that Golia is satisfied with him.

"Hey, we've been chatting for so long, where's Simon"

Hasan deliberately asked.

Laura was at a loss for words, trying to figure out how to answer, when she heard Corlia's silver bell-like voice:

"Uncle, I heard that Mrs. Laura has come"

"Yes, we were just talking about you!"

Hassen immediately shifted his gaze, smiling at Corlia as she entered the ballroom with her skirt trailing behind her, and winked at her.

Golya naturally saw the hint from her uncle and nodded slightly. Then, she curtsied to Laura.

"My lady, how are you! Why didn't Simon let me know beforehand that you were coming so I could pick you up!"

After straightening her body, Galia smiled and said.

Then he also specifically looked at the people around Laura and directly asked:

"My dear, where is Simon Has he come to look for me He hasn't written back in ages. Could this be a surprise"

Golia asked with a happy and satisfied face, just like a woman in love.

When Laura heard Galia's words, her heart sank to the bottom of her stomach. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a few people walking slowly into the banquet hall.

The young man's black hair and violet eyes, along with Leia's light brown eyes, made it clear that this was the heir of the Rhodeland family and the daughter of the Hanni family. She could only suppress her restlessness and step forward to greet them.

And Hasan walked up to Corlia, gently patted her shoulder, and whispered:

"You did a great job! Keep it up!"

Corlia nodded. She had thought she would see anger, rage in Laura's eyes, but seeing the dark circles under them, she understood and was willing to continue acting with her.

Because of the ripple's appearance, it interrupted Laura and Gloria's conversation. She knew the White family would definitely pay more attention to the young master of the Rhodenman family, so she politely offered her blessings and left to rest, citing a long journey as the reason.

Laura left, so Lillian took over greeting guests. The rest of them partied all night long, and as a result, everyone overslept. After breakfast, the butler from the White family came to ask if Mr. Lian and his companions could spare some time because Mrs. Laura had something she wanted to ask them.

Leia blinked her light brown eyes and knew exactly what the other person wanted to ask. She gracefully used her napkin to wipe the corner of her lips and said to Ripple:

"Lily, want to go take a look"

Let's go!

Ripple said it didn't matter.

Immediately, the group moved to the small living room. Upon entering, they sensed a tense atmosphere. Corlia was still wiping her tears, and Laura seemed awkward as well. Seeing Ripple and the others, she composed herself, putting on a strained smile and greeting them.

"Goliath, what's wrong with you"

Leia hurried a few steps, came to Corlia's side, and frowned, asking.he next scene also stunned these warriors. Seeing the immobilized warrior, his face originally covered in ferocious black lines began to show a pained expression, and then those black lines gradually...
