Chapter 2359: Chapter 663: Bruch Family Gathering_6
Friendly? An Yiqing secretly laughed to herself, what trick is the old Prince Bruch playing?
"Ahem, Miss An, I heard you ran into someone from the Lasombra Clan today?"
"Hm, the old prince’s information is quite well-informed." An Yiqing’s tone was indifferent, giving no clue of her mood.
Old Prince Bruch felt a bit stifled, coughed lightly, "Miss An, do you have any time tomorrow? I’d like to invite you to visit the castle, would that be possible?"
An Yiqing’s lips curled slightly, "Please, old prince, speak directly. Your politeness makes me uncomfortable."
There was no sound on the other end of the line for quite some time, and after a while, old Prince Bruch seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his voice tinged with delight, "Haha, Miss An, battling the Archbishop in Red and twenty Onmyoji, I’ve heard of your feats in Country Zi. Calling you today, I’m truly hesitant to be presumptuous."
Afraid to be presumptuous, this thousand-year-old guy? Truly fooling.
Recalling the scene when she first met old Prince Bruch at the Medicine Sect, An Yiqing rolled her eyes. This old man and his son Eddie are alike, unable to move when they see a beauty, speaking as if performing.
"Old Prince, if you have nothing else, I will hang up. Women need ample sleep; I need to rest."
"No, no, please don’t." The old man detected An Yiqing’s impatience and got anxious, dropping his act, "Xiao Qing Beauty, it’s been so long since we last met. Shall we see each other tomorrow? To discuss the vital plan for the Blood Clan’s future."
An Yiqing’s mouth twitched, massaging her aching temples, "I have time tomorrow evening."
Old Prince Bruch was overjoyed, "Great, great! Tomorrow evening, I’ll send a car to pick you up at the hotel. I’ll prepare the most delicious food to entertain Xiao Qing Beauty. It’s quite late now, Xiao Qing Beauty, have an early rest, goodnight."
After hanging up the phone, An Yiqing shook her head with amusement. In any case, old Bruch’s temper still somehow suited her.
The next day, at six o’clock in the evening, a car from the Bruch Family arrived punctually at the hotel entrance. The attendant tasked with greeting guests was shocked upon seeing the distinctive emblem of the Bruch Family. Who had such stature to have this family personally come for them?
The car door opened, and an elderly man dressed in a black tailcoat stepped out. He held a black scepter, and every piece of his clothing was without a wrinkle. Even the few whiskers on his chin were neatly groomed. His posture was one of chest out and head held high, with an imposing presence.
The perceptive attendant quickly notified the hotel manager. The manager arrived, taken aback upon seeing this elderly man. This was Sicily, head butler of the renowned Bruch Family of Country Zi, respected by all within the circle. Why did Sicily personally arrive today? Who warranted such stature?
The manager hurried forward to greet Sicily. Unexpectedly, Sicily waved a hand, signaling him to leave.
Just as the manager reluctantly intended to depart, a breathtaking maiden, dressed in a white long dress and draped in a beige shawl, emerged from the entrance. Upon seeing the maiden, Sicily immediately offered a warm smile and stepped forward to welcome her.
"Honorable Miss An, I am Sicily Bruch, the head butler of the Bruch Family. I’m very pleased to meet you." Sicily performed the highest noble manner of greeting, his tone full of respect, "Old Prince is already waiting at the castle for Miss An’s presence. Miss An, shall we proceed to the car?"
Smiling, An Yiqing nodded and got into the car. Sicily closed the car door properly and took his seat in the front passenger. The car gently started moving away from the hotel, leaving behind a stunned hotel manager and attendant.
Inside the car, it was very quiet. An Yiqing sat in the back seat, gazing out at the scene beyond, her eyes distant. Sicily discreetly observed An Yiqing through the rearview mirror. He had heard her name from old Prince and Bali Eddie countless times. She was the esteemed daughter of the Xuanjin An Family, a remarkable Divine Doctor with superior medical arts. Her solo confrontation against the Church’s Archbishop in Red and twenty Onmyoji was already ablaze among the Blood Clan, with many eager to behold the maiden’s splendor.
Today, he finally met this maiden. Not as formidable or fierce as imagined, instead appearing as a harmless girl from next door, with a smile that naturally engendered favor.
Sicily sighed inwardly, for this seemingly harmless maiden had shaken the Church to its core, consecutively taking down several generals. Truly miraculous.
