Chapter 1110: Cheating Daughter
"I haven't seen your father for many years. I wonder how he is doing now?" Weilin looked up at the sky with a reminiscent look on his face.
“Uncle Xilin, my father has lived a very fulfilling life these years. He is busy with military affairs every day and has no time to accompany us.” The red-haired girl lowered her head and said in a low voice.
"So busy?" Weilin said in a surprised tone.
The red-haired girl looked at Weilin with a suspicious look on her face.
Sensing Elena Cassius' suspicion, Weilin remained calm, without any sign of panic.
"Uncle Xilin, I wonder where you have been working in these years."
Upon hearing this, Weilin said, "I can only tell you that I am in the territory of Zeferus. As for what I am doing specifically, I cannot tell you."
Seeing this, Elena Cassius’s doubts were mostly dispelled.
If Uncle Xilin was in the Zeferus Territory, it would be normal for him not to know the situation in the Qixing Territory. Maybe I was just overthinking it.
Looking at Elena who had already conquered herself, Weilin wanted to laugh, but held it back.
It was quite amusing to deceive the little daughter of one of your subordinates.
However, this may only be effective for a little girl like the red-haired girl who is ignorant of the world. If it were anyone else, they would not easily believe what she said.
After chatting for half an hour, the red-haired girl stood up and said goodbye, "Uncle Xilin, I have classes, so I'll leave first."
"Go."
Weilin responded, pretending to be reluctant.
After the red-haired girl left, Weilin sat for another half an hour before walking towards the exit of the Magic Academy.
When he arrived at the gate, he removed his disguise and returned to Star-Moon Castle with his guards.
……
At night, in a small manor on the east side of Qixing City, the red-haired girl got off the carriage, walked up to her personal maid, and asked in a low voice: "Lina, is my father back?"
"Miss, the master is back and is meeting an important guest in the hall now." The blue-haired maid looked at the red-haired girl who threw herself into her arms, tidied her hair that was messed up by the wind, and responded with a smile.
The red-haired girl looked up and asked curiously, "Who is it?"
"Lord Kyle."
Hearing this name, the red-haired girl immediately gave up the idea of looking for her father and prepared to go see her mother first.
Two hours later, seeing the lights in the hall go out, the red-haired girl hurriedly said goodbye to her mother and walked towards her father's study.
Looking at her daughter's back, the woman sitting at the round table stood up, stretched, showing off her proud figure, and said to the head maid standing behind her: "Let's go."
"Yes, ma'am."
In the study, Cassius took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack, then took off his sword and placed it on the weapon rack. He walked to the desk and took out two rosters from the drawer. One of them recorded the names and identity information of more than 5,000 active soldiers in the Qixing Battalion, and the other was a roster of elite soldiers.
There are three hundred bronze warriors, and the Qixing Camp must provide one hundred of them.
Under other circumstances, a squadron could be directly drawn from the First Battalion, but this time the situation was a little different.
"Having said that, with Kyle's ability, he deserves this honor."
Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Cassius opened the roster of elite warriors and was about to start selecting personnel when the door of the study was suddenly pushed open.
Looking up, he saw his little daughter walk in.
"Good evening, father."
Looking at Elena's figure, Cassius couldn't help but smile on his serious face, and asked in a gentle tone: "How come you have time to come back from the magic academy today?"
The red-haired girl came to Cassius and asked her father to sit a little closer. Then she sat down and said with a smile: "Father, I miss you, don't I?"
Cassius reached out and stroked his daughter's hair, smiling and saying, "Tell me, is there anything you need your father's help with?"
"Father, I can't hide it from you after all."
The red-haired girl spoke in a spoiled tone after her father discovered her true purpose.
"You are my child, don't I know you?"
Looking at his daughter's smile, Cassius felt a little warm in his heart.
He was very strict with his other children, but he was unusually tolerant towards his youngest daughter.
No one knew why except himself.
"Father, I want to ask you something. I hope you won't hide it from me."
"Ask me. As long as it doesn't involve any secrets, I will tell you everything I know." Cassius responded with a smile.
Seeing this, the red-haired girl stared into her father's eyes and asked, "Father, I met a senior named Xilin in the academy today. He said that he used to be your adjutant. Is this true?"
"Of course it is..." At this point, Cassius suddenly remembered the identity represented by this name, and immediately changed his words, "Of course it is true. By the way, I haven't seen him for a long time. He has time to go to the magic academy, but he has no time to visit my old boss. It's really sad!"
The red girl looked at her father and reminded him, "Father, you paused when you were talking just now."
"I was just thinking about something important, so my thoughts haven't come to my senses yet, so I paused for a moment." Cassius responded naturally.
The red-haired girl was somewhat skeptical when she heard this.
"Father, do you know where Senior Xilin is working now?"
"I don't know." Cassius shook his head and said, "Back then, the Lord directly assigned him to carry out a secret mission. I don't know where he went. Maybe he went to the border area, or maybe Zephyrus."
"Oh."
The red-haired girl responded, her doubts slowly dissipating.
Casius, who was secretly observing the changes in his daughter's expression, immediately realized that this silly girl believed what he said.
"Well, go to bed early. You have to go back to the magic academy early tomorrow morning."
"Got it, father. I'll be leaving now."
"Ah."
Watching his daughter leave, Cassius couldn't help but fall into memories.
“She really looks like her mother!”
After a moment of silence, Cassius stopped thinking and began to deal with matters, selecting bronze warriors that met the requirements.
