When Maria panted and came to the place where Xu Cheng lived, she found that the place was deserted.
Or it should be said that Xu Cheng never came back at all. He was not the real Archer and had no memories of this miserable place where he had lived for nearly ten years.
Maria stood in a daze at the door of the small room, feeling that the goddess of fate had abandoned her again.
On the other side, Xu Cheng followed the staff into the logistics room. The medical staff first bandaged his wounds and then put on brand new clothes.
Everyone was very polite to Xu Cheng, which was due to Yin Fulin's vote and also because of Xu Cheng's strong strength in the assessment and selection.
Of course, the politeness was only superficial, and the vast majority of people continued to discriminate against him in their hearts, but they just didn't show it.
However, there are still some people who really have a good impression of Xu Cheng, those mixed-race people.
Because the politically incorrect words Xu Cheng said in public on the stage touched the hearts of all mixed-race people. Although they did not dare to express it, they were very grateful to him in their hearts.
After resting for a while, Xu Cheng left and came outside the sports field alone.
A car stopped on the side of the road, and a young driver was leaning on the door to smoke. When he saw Xu Cheng, he raised his hand to wave to him.
When Xu Cheng came over, the driver began to introduce himself: "I am Miss Yin Fulin's driver, you can call me Mikey."
While talking, he took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Cheng: "Do you want to smoke?"
Xu Cheng shook his head and declined: "I don't smoke."
"What a surprise."
Mikey looked at him in surprise: "This is the first time I've seen a boy who doesn't smoke in my life."
The Violet family raises this group of collateral teenagers and provides them with strict physical training and combat training, and occasionally provides some cultural classes, but does not educate them on basic morals.
In this case, most collateral blood descendants have developed bad habits since childhood and cannot compete with direct blood descendants who have received elite education since childhood.
Archer also smokes secretly, but Xu Cheng doesn't. He doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, and he doesn't like to make his teeth yellow.
Mikey is a talkative person, talking about various things in the manor while puffing away his breath.
Xu Cheng originally thought that he was just a chatterbox, but he soon realized that he was taking the opportunity to warn himself about some taboos that he should not do, so as not to make mistakes after entering the manor.
Although Xu Cheng didn't care, he acknowledged his feelings: "Thank you, I will remember it."
Mikey didn't expect Xu Cheng to understand so quickly, and a cheerful smile appeared on his face: "Don't worry, everyone in the manor is a good person and won't make things difficult for you..."
He suddenly remembered Xu Cheng's performance on the sports field and smiled awkwardly: "Of course, I hope you won't embarrass us."
Xu Cheng promised: "Don't worry, my creed is that I will not offend others unless they offend me, but if they offend me..."
Mikey couldn't help but asked: "How is it?"
Xu Cheng smiled slightly: "If someone offends me, then I will definitely be afraid."
Mikey looked like you were kidding me.
Xu Cheng behaves like a life-threatening lunatic on the court. Would such a person feel scared? …
"What, you don't believe it?"
Xu Cheng had a serious expression on his face: "I'm only fifteen years old. It's normal to be afraid of workplace violence."
If you are afraid of violence, then what does Willy, the captain of the guard whose head you chopped off, mean to you? Autistic children?
Mikey was complaining crazily in his mind.
Xu Cheng saw through his thoughts and explained: "Willy wanted to violent me, and I was scared, so I stopped him so that he could never use violence against me again. This is very logical, right?"
McGee: "..."
He added silently in his mind - Have you forgotten who took the initiative to challenge Willy?
But we are all colleagues now, so there is no need to say such embarrassing things.
Of course, he was also afraid that Xu Cheng would dismiss him as violence.
"Let's go back first. Don't keep the eldest lady waiting."
McGee opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, and at the same time called Xu Cheng to get in the car: "I was planning to go back, but the eldest lady asked me to come around and take you with me. Others don't enjoy this kind of treatment."
Xu Cheng got into the back seat and said, "I thought you were here specifically to pick me up."
Mikey laughed: "You really know how to joke."
This group of people, at best, are hired workers who work next to direct blood descendants, but at worst, they are no different from slaves. Every year, some people who can't stand it secretly run away.
The car started and drove towards the distance. Many collateral blood descendants at the entrance of the sports ground looked at this scene with envy.
It was unprecedented for Xu Cheng to have a car to pick him up. Even if others were selected, they would have to rush to the manor with their luggage to report, and they might be reprimanded if they were late.
Xu Cheng sat by the car window and looked at the scenery outside.
After leaving the castle-like building, the car drove on a winding mountain road with dense pine forests on both sides. Occasionally, through the gaps in the forest, one could see the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
Because Archer's geographical knowledge is limited, he doesn't know exactly where this place is. However, Xu Cheng once heard Qiu Gongyue say that the Violet family is located in Northern Europe, which is vast and sparsely populated, and there are too many similar places.
The road gradually climbs in altitude and soon the surrounding ground is gradually covered with snow.
After driving for more than half an hour, a building built in the snowy mountains appeared in front of Xu Cheng's eyes.
It is not an old-fashioned castle, but closer to a modern French mansion. It is surrounded by walls to form a large manor, and a large number of cold-resistant plants are planted in it.
The car stopped at the door and was inspected by the guards before being allowed into the front yard.
After putting Xu Cheng down, McGee did not get out of the car with him, but said through the car window: "I'm going to park in the garage. You can go in by yourself. The eldest lady should be at home now."
After he left, Xu Cheng looked up at this tall building, which was obviously built with a long history, and walked in through the gate.
A maid was already waiting at the door. When she saw Xu Cheng coming in, she smiled and said, "Arqi, come with me."
Xu Cheng nodded and followed her into the mansion. …
The area inside is very large, and many maids and servants can be seen along the way, all of them secretly looking at Xu Cheng who is passing by.
What happened in the sports ground has already spread throughout the world. Everyone inside the Snow Mountain Manor knows that a particularly powerful hybrid will come to the manor.
There is a lot of curiosity and vigilance in the eyes of these people, and of course there is a sense of indifference to the mixed-race superiority.
Soon, Xu Cheng was taken outside a living room by the maid.
There was a guard standing at the door of the living room. He was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. His face was indifferent and his eyes were sharp.
Xu Cheng only looked at him once and realized that this guard should be stronger than Willy.
Willy can be the mighty captain of the guard. This guard is stronger than him but can only watch the gate here. This shows Yin Fulin's power and status.
The guard looked at Xu Cheng with a scrutinizing gaze, which brought a lot of pressure.
Xu Cheng looked as usual, which meant that he was now restricted by dog management and his strength had not recovered. Otherwise, he would have killed and uprooted the Ziluolan family.
After entering the warm living room, Xu Cheng finally met Yin Fulin.
She had changed into home clothes, revealing her extremely sexy body curves and exquisite and perfect facial features. She was a blonde, blue-eyed, exotic beauty.
It's a pity that Xu Cheng was used to seeing beautiful women, and his threshold was set too high. He didn't look sideways at Yin Fulin, and didn't wait for her instructions, so he just found a seat to sit down by himself.
Seeing Xu Cheng being so casual, the guard guarding the door immediately narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous look.
In this place with strong feudal customs, respect for superiors and inferiors is an extremely important rule.
And Xu Cheng's arbitrary behavior is breaking the rules.
However, compared to the guard at the door, Yin Fulin did not show anger or disgust at Xu Cheng's behavior of breaking the rules - her expression was always cold, making it difficult to see her emotions.
She was drinking tea and looking through books and other things, and didn't pay attention to Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng has seen this kind of small means of showing power too often. The boss suddenly called you into the office, lowered your head to work and ignored you, and just left you standing, which invisibly put strong psychological pressure on you.
Xu Cheng simply started to close his eyes and meditate. If you ignore me, I will ignore you.
Although the task required Xu Cheng to gain Yin Fulin's trust, he knew deeply that trust could not be gained by licking. Only people with more personality can attract more.
If he behaved like he was content, what was the difference between him and the other servants in the manor?
The living room was very quiet, and the only sound was when Yin Fulin turned the pages.
About half an hour later, she finished checking the ledger and looked up at Xu Cheng, who had been sitting motionless on the chair for half an hour.
"Archer Grant."
Xu Cheng remained motionless.
Yin Fulin frowned slightly, then her face darkened, and the boy actually fell asleep.
She originally wanted to give Xu Cheng a slap in the face, because it could be seen from his performance on the sports field that this kid was not a law-abiding person and needed to sharpen his character.
As a result, she became so lonely that this guy dared to sleep in front of her. …
The guard at the door also opened his mouth slightly. After so many years with the eldest lady, this was the first time he had seen such a presumptuous guy.
"Miss..."
The guard asked, and now he wanted to rush in, pick up Xu Cheng, and give him a good beating.
Yin Fulin shook her head, then raised her voice: "Arch Grant."
"Um?"
Xu Cheng suddenly woke up and yawned: "Is something wrong?"
Yin Fulin stared at Xu Cheng coldly, while he blinked his big innocent eyes and looked at her.
After a few seconds, Yin Fulin asked: "Have you awakened the power of your family's bloodline?"
She had investigated Archer's past experience and found that he was an ordinary boy with low self-esteem and introversion, and average training results, without any bright spots.
But his performance in the assessment and selection is far from enough to be described as genius.
There seems to be no second explanation other than awakening the bloodline ability of the Violet family.
As for the drastic change in personality, it is easy to explain. After all, he was betrayed by his childhood sweetheart, was seriously injured, and almost died young.
Xu Cheng originally wanted to admit it, but in the end he shook his head and denied it: "I have not awakened the power of blood."
His current body does not have any special powers. A quick inspection will show that lying is too easy to be exposed.
Yin Fulin snorted coldly: "Then why do you defeat the captain of the guard?"
"Because I am born with divine power."
"..."
After a few seconds, Yin Fulin gave up the idea of ordering the guards to drag out the guy with a bad attitude and give him a beating.
A wolf cub whose mood has changed drastically needs gentler methods to dispel his wariness.
Yin Fulin regarded Xu Cheng's indifferent attitude as a symptom caused by psychological trauma, so she was more tolerant of him.
"You will first be a guard in the manor, and your salary will be level three. When you reach level one, you will be able to take courses in developing the power of blood."
"no problem."
"besides……"
Yin Fulin suddenly warned: "If you don't want to be kicked out, you are not allowed to promote your fallacy that mixed blood is stronger."
Xu Cheng immediately puffed up his chest: "If you don't have freedom, my mother would rather die!"
Yin Fulin stared at him coldly and suddenly said: "Then I will help you, Ed, kill him."
"As you command!"
The guard at the door had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, resisting the urge to laugh, and immediately took out a pistol from his body and pointed it at Xu Cheng.
"Wait a minute, I'm not done yet."
Xu Cheng raised his hand very calmly: "If you don't have freedom, your mother would rather die. This sentence comes from the American Patrick Henry, but I have a different view on this sentence. Freedom is not without boundaries, and it must be based on not affecting others. The premise also needs to be within the framework of the law..."
Yin Fulin interrupted his tirade: "Tell me the key points."
Xu Cheng put his raised hand on his chest: "I mean, beautiful young lady, I completely agree with what you said."
Yin Fulin waved her hand: "Ed, take this kid down and let him get familiar with the environment."
The first meeting ended somewhat unpleasantly.
Not long after Xu Cheng was taken away, Ed came back. He hesitated and asked, "Miss, why did you..."
He didn't understand why the eldest lady tolerated this boy so much.
Yes, the potential he showed was indeed amazing, but his mixed-race status was enough to offset all the advantages, and the Violet family had never lacked all kinds of geniuses.
At the age of fifteen, the eldest lady's strength already far exceeded that of Xu Cheng.
"Why are you so lenient with him?"
Yin Fulin said calmly: "Of course there are reasons for my tolerance. He may still have some mental illness. You should take more care of him and don't let him be bullied..."
This warning made Ed's expression somewhat difficult to explain.
Yin Fulin also felt that this instruction was wrong, so she changed her words: "Don't let him cause trouble. If he needs to be taught a lesson, he will be taught a lesson."
Ed raised his hands and saluted: "Yes."
Although the eldest lady refused to tell the reason, he had no choice but to obey orders.
Xu Cheng didn't know that Yin Fulin regarded him as a patient with mental illness. He was running into his first trouble after arriving at Snow Mountain Manor.
