âWeâre not leaving either!â So be it!
âThis matter started because of us. If you wonât leave, we wonât either!â
Even though their hearts still trembled slightly, Ike and the others straightened their backs.
Fourth Brother, Lu Sihao, watched silently. After a long pause, his lips couldnât help but curl up as he said softly, âThank you.â What good comrades!
Actually, he could also try his best to think of a way to bring them to China.
A certain fourth brother narrowed his gentle eyes, and a wicked glint flashed in them.
It was the same expression that anyone in the Lu family got when they were about to do something bad.
However, it was clear that Fourth Brother was overthinking things.
When a certain Count arrived at his destination in his private modified car, he opened the car door with elegant and slender fingers. He raised his blue eyes slightly and immediately saw the imposing young lady standing straight and full of mettle.
Her unblemished face was as beautiful as the moon, and her black hair was tied up in a bun.
The Count of Mount Louis had an exceptionally stunned expression. He glanced at the people standing guard behind Lu An, some of whom trembled slightly. Then, he saw the super luxurious and exquisite palace in front of him!
It was naturally a little smaller than his palace, but it was exquisite!
It had sharp, beautiful lines, and a few lanterns fluttered in the wind. Even the tiles on the wall looked so poetic!
In particular, the surrounding landscape was vivid and full of spring. When a light breeze blew, it was as if wheat really was swaying in the wind!
The Count couldnât help but smile. He walked over to Lu An and looked down at her as he asked in a low voice, âThis, you made this?â
Lu An: â?â Didnât they say that this Count was coming to cause trouble?
It seemed that he hadnât brought many people with him?
So, this battleâ¦
Were they fighting or not?
The little girl looked around doubtfully, and wasnât in a hurry to answer his question. She just asked, âAre you here to cause trouble?â
âHuh?â
A certain Count was nonplussed.
Everyone who saw him had always been respectful and modest toward him. She, on the other hand, asked him if he was here to fight.
Wasnât this girl too funny?
The Countâs lips could help but curl up when he suddenly recalled â
âHypocrite,â âpretentiousâ â what the other party had saidâ¦
Were they referring to this girl?
The man narrowed suddenly dark blue eyes as he sized her up carefully, as if he wanted to see through her.
Lu An was inexplicably a little annoyed. She poked him a little with one finger and asked, âAre you going to fight or not?
âHurry up!â
She didnât have time to waste sniffing at each other as if they were rats.
Who knew what a certain Count would think when he learned that Lu An saw him as a rat?
âSo, do you fight everyone you meet?â
The Count found it strange. She didnât seem hypocritical or pretentious to him.
If he had to describe her, she was more strange and special.
Ignoring what Lu An was getting at, the Count said directly, âHow much is this palace? Name a price, Iâll buy it!â
âHuh?â
Lu An was genuinely dumbfounded. So were Fourth Brother and the others behind her.
What was he doing?
Buy it so that he could openly raze it to the ground?
âIâm sorry, no matter how much money youâre willing to give, Iâm not selling.â Putting aside the fact that she didnât lack money, even if she did, she wouldnât sell it!
Lu Anâs expression was calm, and her rejection was exceptionally straightforward.
A certain Count didnât understand. âWhy?
âYou canât watch it all the time. You donât look like a local. If something happens, you wonât be able to protect it, but if you sell it to me, I can preserve it as it is now, and Iâll treat it as a work of art. Why would you say no?
âAs the creator, you definitely donât want your work to be destroyed by something like the weather, right?â
The Count couldnât understand why his offer was turned down.
Lu An was also dumbfounded.
Wasnât he here to cause trouble?
Why did it seem likeâ¦
That wasnât the case?
Just then, lightning suddenly struck.
Dark clouds hung in the sky, as if a storm was about to roll in.
Before Lu An and the others could react, a certain Count had already started to call for help.
âQuick, find 100 people first. I want a top-notch greenhouse at least 50 to 60 meters in length and width, right now. Iâm inâ¦â
A certain Count rattled out a whole bunch of words until they were practically jumbled together.
Lu An and the others were dumbfounded as they stared blankly.
They sawâ¦
Very quickly, a horde of people rushed over like an army.
They were all holding various tools: ladders, big canopies, bamboo poles, ropes, and so on.
It was a hive of activity.
âBe careful, donât touch the top!
âDonât step on the garden!!!!
âHigher! Higher! Higher!!!â
ââ¦â
A certain Count was like a particularly bad-tempered commander.
Wherever a staff member accidentally touched something, he would scream in a way that didnât match his aura.
It was like the cry of a rooster at daybreak. And the person making the sound wasâ¦
In comparison, Lu An and the others completely turned into spectators. Their faces were filled with shock.
They were completely ignored!
When the pattering rain fell on Lu An and the others, a certain Count hurriedly pulled them all under an awning.
âHuâ¦â
The Count of Mount Louis let out a long sigh. He felt confident and proud!
He had saved this super beautiful work of art!
The corners of his lips curled up in a sentimental smile, like bamboo shoots after the rain!
Lu An was dumbfounded. After a long while, she said sincerely, âHey, um, since you like this palace so much, Iâll give it to you after weâre done filming. I wonât take a single cent!
âHowever, I might have to trouble you to spend conservation fees on it.
âAfter all, this thing isnât that easy to preserve.
âHuh?â
The girlâs clear voice was as sweet as sugarcane, and a certain Count couldnât help but be dumbfounded.
Hadnât she refused him outright just now, and so firmly, too, leaving no room for negotiation?
Why was she suddenly giving it to him?
The Count said in all seriousness, âThat wonât do. You have to give me a price. How can I take it for free?â He had lived a good life since he was young, and enjoyed conveniences that most people couldnât enjoy. This was already a gift from the heavens; how could he take someone elseâs artwork for free?
Lu An could tell what the Count was thinking, and didnât refuse. She thought for a moment, then said, âThen, how much do you think this thing is worth?â
