Chapter 145 Lin Jue's Dinner, Discovery
"So it was your elders who asked you to come to my manor?"

Lin Jue had a smile on his face and spoke in a gentle tone. At this moment, the girls opposite him were looking at him with sparkling eyes. They had never imagined that the Grand Duke Yongye, who had become famous recently, was actually such a young man with a handsome face, an upright figure, and an indescribable unique temperament that made their eyes light up.

They were used to seeing all kinds of young nobles and wealthy children, but this was the first time they had seen such a unique peer, and this peer had a status that they could not even imagine.

Lisa couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. She regretted her years of upbringing. She actually lost control of her anger. Did the man in front of her see her?

The originally proud and arrogant heart seemed to be getting more and more confused.

Especially when she looked at the sisters around her, their eyes shining and their eager looks, and thought of what she had just said, she didn't know whether to advance or retreat.

The servants followed their masters closely. Catherine, who was at the back, passed by Lisa. She felt a little sympathy for this seemingly embarrassed lady.

"Ma'am, let's go in..."

For some unknown reason, Catherine blurted out the words, and the next moment, she quickly covered her mouth and looked at her young lady with a pale face. Fortunately, Avril seemed to have focused all her attention on Lin Jue at this time and did not notice her.

As her voice fell, Lisa followed with a somewhat unnatural expression.

Lin Jue, who had a full view of the situation behind, smiled slightly. He did not care at all about the "wild words" uttered by the noble lady just now. In terms of identity, the other party's status was not an ordinary role, but compared with him, the well-deserved duke, the other party was a little inferior.

Even though he was the son of a prince, he only had the status of a noble, but his actual title was...

On the other side, Avril looked at Lin Jue with burning eyes. He was surrounded by many noble ladies and was not easily affected by fame or disgrace. She was deeply attracted by the temperament of this man. This was the first time!
In fact, even Lin Jue himself did not notice this phenomenon. As his concept of the Vampire God deepened, his life energy level crushed humans, but when he did not exert pressure, he exuded the aura of a higher creature. This naturally added an inexplicable halo to Avril and others who did not understand, making them feel inferior even though they were proud of their noble status when facing Lin Jue.

Led by Lin Jue, these noble ladies, surrounded by servants, strolled around the huge manor, exclaiming in amazement again and again.

A girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Your Excellency Grand Duke Yongye, your manor belonged to His Royal Highness the King of England before, right? I remember that this manor is one of the few castles in Great Britain with a huge area!"

"Haha, I'm not sure either, but this is indeed a meeting gift from the King of England."

"S... a greeting gift?"

"Oh my God!"

His words caused the noble ladies to exclaim in amazement, and some of the more mature girls even couldn't help but lean towards Lin Jue.

"What on earth did this guy rely on? He is an Asian, not only did he get the title of Duke, but the King of Great Britain even gave him a luxurious castle personally!"

Catherine at the back of the team couldn't help but scream in her heart. She felt that her worldview had been shattered once again. Looking at Lin Jue's elegant and handsome appearance, Catherine was full of admiration. The other person's age seemed to be not much different from hers...

From the conversation between the two sides, she also learned that the Grand Duke of Eternal Night in front of her, who possessed a certain strange charm, seemed to be alone. To be able to become a duke at such an age, one can imagine how capable he is.

The servants were also talking, but their voices were much quieter than those of the noble ladies.

"Well, in the near future, you can all come to my castle to play. I welcome you all, but I may not stay here most of the time!"

Lin Jue gently pushed open the door of the reception hall and looked at the table full of banquet prepared by the servants.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Grand Duke Yongye. Actually, I just want to meet you and make friends with you. This is my father's request!"

At this moment, Avril did not look like she did in the debate with the group of scholars at all. She showed her gentle and elegant temperament. She stared straight into Lin Jue's deep eyes. She wanted to find out the secret hidden by the man in front of her.

What kind of power could make his father and the nobles of the entire British Empire so crazy?
Lisa, who had been unable to get a word in, looked particularly pale at the moment. She had anticipated that what happened today would soon spread throughout the British aristocratic circles, and that she had brought shame upon her family. Recalling her father's solemn expression, Lisa, who had been lawless since childhood, felt panic for the first time.

Subconsciously, she couldn't help but push away the baron's granddaughter standing in front of her, walked up to Lin Jue, put one hand on the corner of her skirt, and bowed slightly.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Grand Duke Yongye, I offended you with my words just now!"

She gritted her teeth and uttered the words of apology for the first time in her life.

"Ha, Miss Lisa, you must be joking. I am not a petty person."

Lin Jue also looked at the pale-faced girl who stood out with some surprise. He thought that it would be difficult for children from such a noble family to bow down and apologize to him.

The girl in front of him had a delicate and small oval face, slightly thin lips, a tall stature, and a well-proportioned figure, which could be said to be the most outstanding among the girls present.

While Lisa was distracted, Lin Jue gently pulled her up and patted her on the shoulder, not looking angry at all.

Lisa stared blankly at Lin Jue who walked past her and headed towards the banquet chairman's seat. She had been used to observing people's expressions since she was a child, and this was the first time she saw sincerity in a person of her age...

From childhood to adulthood, the aristocratic circles she had come into contact with were all very solemn and had to maintain their demeanor and elegance at all times. Their conversations were full of intrigues and the exchange of various interests. However, she did not feel the slightest discomfort with Lin Jue's casual behavior just now, including the act of touching her shoulder. She only had a feeling of being at ease and inexplicably free and easy.

What a strange guy!

Lin Jue gave her the impression that he really didn't care about her previous almost abusive behavior, which was simply incredible in the European aristocratic circle.

You know, many minor nobles maintain their demeanor throughout their lives, even at the cost of their lives, just to maintain their noble demeanor. Compared with the man in front of him...

Looking at the smiling man who was inviting them to sit down, Lisa's heart trembled slightly.

Sometimes people really can't be compared.

The so-called young heroes she met popped up in her mind one by one. Lisa was shocked to find that they were as naive as children. Although they had noble status, they all seemed a bit "pretentious". The one in front of her looked like a real noble.

On the other side, most of the noble ladies looked at Lin Jue with burning eyes, as he was talking eloquently and seemed to be analyzing the economic situation of the British Empire.

They suddenly felt grateful to their elders for giving them such an opportunity. A duke who was so young, powerful and influential was simply the best match for countless noble girls.

Regardless of his words and deeds or the status and power he represented, these noble ladies would express their opinions from time to time, wanting to show themselves in the hope of leaving a deeper impression in Lin Jue's heart.

This scene of "competing for favor" made their servants gasp in amazement, but they dared not show anything.

Some of them even disregarded their aristocratic demeanor and looked directly at Lin Jue, who was calm and incisive in his words, with a strange look on their faces.

In the eyes of the servants, the man who could be so liked by their superior ladies was definitely the most outstanding man in the British Empire.

Because Lin Jue advocated not being bound by etiquette, the whole dinner was held in a cheerful and lively atmosphere. He couldn't help but smile as he listened to the girls' chatter and watched them trying to express themselves.

Looking at the servants beside him again, Lin Jue unexpectedly found a pair of bright eyes. Looking at the person coming, Lin Jue's brows suddenly raised, and then relaxed the next moment. He seemed to recognize someone...
