Chapter 57: The Mythical Beast Bi’an
Wang Nan was not polite and rode non-stop all the way. He had consumed a lot of energy by now, so he followed the old man into the Duke's Mansion.
There were lights on in the yard, and some servants were running around busily.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh." The old man said as he led the way. "To be honest, after the news of the young master's disappearance came, Madam also sent some people out to look for him, but there has been no news so far."
"Please go this way." The old man led Wang Nan around several corners and came to a guest room. "Thanks to you for bringing the young master back. Some clothes have been prepared in the room. If you don't mind, please change into them."
Wang Nan flew all the way with Dai Yuheng on his back, and his clothes were already stained with blood. He nodded and walked into the guest room.
There were already two maids waiting in the guest room, holding several pieces of white clothes in their hands. The clothes were finely made, and tiger-shaped patterns could be faintly seen under the light.
"This..." Wang Nan turned around and looked at the old man.
The old man understood and waved towards the house. The two maids put the clothes on the bed, bowed and walked out, then helped Wang Nan close the door.
There was no maid helping to change clothes, as everyone would like to see. Wang Nan changed his clothes quickly, put away the clothes he had taken off, and sat in the house for a while. After a while, there was another knock on the door from outside.
The old man was still outside the door. When he saw Wang Nan open the door, he said, "Please come to the front hall for a chat. Madam wants to see you."
Wang Nan had never seen the Duchess before. The last time he came to the Duke's Mansion with Dai Yuheng, the Duchess was not at home for something, and there was no chance to meet her at other times. He was also somewhat curious about this famous Duchess whose name he did not know.
Wang Nan's curiosity was soon satisfied. When he arrived at the front hall, he saw a woman sitting in the main seat. She was about thirty years old, wearing a dark robe. She looked elegant and noble, but her eyebrows were a little narrow, which made her look less majestic.
There was a breath of soul power flowing on his body, obviously he was a soul master, but his cultivation was not very deep. There were two maids standing behind him, one of whom was quite powerful, which made Wang Nan take a closer look.
"You must be Wang Nan, come and sit down." The Duchess pointed to the seat in front. "I often hear Yao'er mention you, saying that she has learned a lot from you. Now I see that you are indeed extraordinary."
"Alas, although I am in the Duke's Mansion, I am also a parent and my thoughts are all on my two children. After hearing the news of Yao'er's disappearance, I have been unable to sleep or eat. Thanks to you for bringing Yao'er back."
When the Duchess said this, her eyes changed slightly. "Can you tell me in detail what you and Yao'er experienced?"
Wang Nan would not really think that the Duchess in front of him was just an ordinary mother who devoted herself to her children. Although her strength was not obvious, her mind was not something Wang Nan could compare to. You have to know that the Duke of White Tiger led his troops to war for several years, and this lady managed the Duke's Mansion in an orderly manner.
Now it seems that he is asking Wang Nan because he is concerned about Dai Yuheng, but I am afraid there are other meanings as well.
But Wang Nan had nothing to hide, and he told the truth about what he saw and his experiences in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Thank you for taking the risk to bring Yao'er back." After listening to Wang Nan's story, the Duchess sighed again and frowned, "I know you are a disciple of Shrek Academy, so you naturally have justice in your heart, but as a mother, I still have a thank you gift for you to accept."
As she spoke, a maid came forward and handed over a ring. Judging from the workmanship, it was obviously a storage soul guide device. Wang Nan's mental power swept it lightly and he "saw" a dazzling array of things.
"It's just my thoughtfulness, but it's nothing compared to Yao'er." Before Wang Nan could be polite, the Duchess spoke up to interrupt him.
Wang Nan took the storage soul guide and put it in his arms instead of wearing it on his hand. He usually used the Panlong Stick in battle, so he rarely wore the storage soul guide on his hand.
"It's getting late, you should go to bed early. I'll let Yaoer thank you in person after he wakes up." After accepting the thank-you gift, Wang Nan exchanged a few words with the Duchess before returning to the guest room. ...
The next morning, before it was completely light, Wang Nan heard a knock on the door.
"Junior brother, it's me."
When he opened the door, Dai Yaoheng was standing in front of it. After a night, he had fully woken up, his left arm was tightly bandaged, his face was still pale, but he could move normally.
Seeing Wang Nan, Dai Yuheng bowed deeply to him and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Junior Brother."
"Are you okay?" Wang Nan helped Dai Yuheng up.
"Thanks to my junior brother's help, I'm fine now." Dai Yueheng said apologetically, "I'm responsible for my junior brother's trouble."
Dai Yaoheng did not go home alone like Wang Nan, he was accompanied by several guards.
However, on the way home yesterday, Dai Yueheng and his party were suddenly ambushed, and several guards were killed or injured. Dai Yueheng was able to escape because the Soul Saint protected him behind him.
Later, the Soul Douluo who was chasing Dai Yuheng saw Wang Nan and realized that Wang Nan was not very strong, so he came up with the idea of killing him to silence him.
Speaking of the guard, Dai Yuheng's face was a little ugly, but he quickly put away his emotions and pulled Wang Nan's wrist, "Junior brother, please follow me, I have a gift for you."
Dai Yaoheng led Wang Nan through the Duke's Mansion until they came to a wide courtyard. There were tall trees planted in the courtyard, and at first glance it looked like they had come to a forest.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Wang Nan felt the strong breath of soul beasts. This should be the place where the White Tiger Duke's Mansion raised soul beasts, and there were quite a few of them.
"This is the tiger breeding garden in the palace."
"Tiger Farm?"
"Yes." Dai Yueheng nodded, "Junior brother, you don't know that our White Tiger Martial Spirit bloodline is powerful, and most of our descendants also have tiger-type martial spirits, so the demand for spirit rings is relatively simple. The White Tiger Duke's Mansion has a White Tiger Forest that specializes in raising tiger-type spirit beasts, so that the children of the mansion can obtain spirit rings."
"Of course, if a soul beast with special bloodline appears among them, we will bring it back to the mansion and raise it here. For us soul masters, the most important things are soul rings and soul bones. Although the gift I want to give to you is not a soul bone, it is better than ordinary soul bones."
As they spoke, several guards brought a soul beast to Wang Nan and Dai Yueheng.
It looks like a white tiger, with a broad body and a dignified posture, but the head and tail are different, and it looks more like other soul beasts.
"This is the gift I was talking about, the divine beast 'Bi'an'."
