The servant's voice caused the two people who were talking to stop unconsciously.

After a while, I heard the sound of boots stepping on the stairs. Then, Duke Kao's figure appeared on the second floor. Looking at the two people sitting opposite each other on the long table, Duke Kao frowned slightly.

.

And Julian also met Duke Kao again five years later.

Compared with five years ago, Duke Kao seemed to have not changed much. He was still dressed in black uniforms and a large cloak. There were no traces of time left on his expressionless face, only a few strands on his temples.

Bai Bai tells the story of the man who is the head of the Dukecao family and has made countless enemies talk about him. He has passed the age of forty.

"Father."

Facing Ducao who suddenly returned, Catalina put down the tableware first and stood up to salute, but her tone was still cold.

Julian also stood up and greeted him.

"General."

"Yeah." Ducao responded calmly, his eyes paused on Caterina's face for a moment and then fell on Julian, asking: "How could you..."

"I called Julian." Ducao was interrupted by Catalina before he finished speaking. Even when facing her father, Catalina was still as simple and straightforward as before.

This made Yulian feel a little confused. Is the relationship between the two still the same after all these years?

Although interrupted by Catalina, Duke Kao's eyes still stayed on Julian's face, seeming to be waiting for his answer.

Seeing this scene, Julian was about to speak, but Catalina's face turned cold and she said, "Julian has a month's vacation. He has no place to live in the Immortal Fortress, so I arranged for him to stay there."

Stay here for a few days, he is my guest, if you are not satisfied, I can let him live in my room, if you still don't agree, we can go out and live!"

Caterina's words finally made Duke Kao look away from Julian.

I don’t know if it was because of the impression left when they first met. Although Yurian was no longer afraid of Duke Kao’s pressure, he was still a little cautious. What’s more, what Katarina said just now made Yuri

An felt a little weak for no reason.

"..."

Naturally, no one else knew what Julian was thinking, but when Duke Cao and Caterina's eyes met in mid-air, the atmosphere in the room solidified instantly.

A cold breath spread out, causing the temperature in the room to suddenly drop a few points. The candle lamp on the table swayed slightly unconsciously, and the servant standing beside him remained silent and did not dare to make a sound.

Even Julian could clearly feel the invisible collision of their momentums.

"Just live here."

After a long time, Duke Kao took the lead to break the silence, turned around calmly, and walked towards the door while saying: "After all, he is also from my Duke Kao lineage."

"As long as it doesn't affect your assessment three days later."

Ducao went out, and Catalina's cold voice came from behind: "You don't need to say more."

A dinner ended hastily due to Duke Kao's interruption.

Julian finally settled down at Duke Cao's house, but he still had some doubts in his heart that he didn't have time to ask.

After all these years, is the relationship between the two still so cold?

And what is the “assessment” that Duke Kao calls?

...

A night without words,

The next day, just after dawn, Caterina knocked on Julian's door.

After he sat up from the bed, Catalina opened the door, holding a handful of clothes in her hand.

"How did you sleep?"

Catalina walked in with a calm expression, walked to the big bed, raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "Stop blocking me, I have already seen what I should have seen."

"Hey..." Julian was a little embarrassed by Katarina's frankness.

After dinner last night, Julian returned to his room. He was planning to go to bed early, but Caterina asked the servant to knock on his door, prepare bath water and pajamas for him, and then took away the clothes he wore when he came.

that body,

So much so that he couldn't fall asleep while lying on the soft bed wearing that thin silk suit, and finally fell asleep by meditating.

However, the silk dress had a relatively large open front, and Julian only noticed the exposed chest when he just sat up.

"Ha~" Faced with Julian's shyness, Catalina glanced at him disdainfully, her eyes lingered on the scar on his chest for a moment and asked aloud: "It seems that you haven't had any problems in these years.

In vain?"

"Uh..." Julian lowered his head slightly and glanced at the scar left by the sword of Sword Master Ifa on his chest, and sighed slightly: "That's why I'm a little tired of this kind of life. I'm very tired of this kind of life."

Afraid..."

"Are you here again?" Before Julian could finish his words, his vision suddenly went dark. Catalina threw all the clothes in her hand over and hit Julian head and face.

While he was in a hurry, Catalina's voice came to his ears: "Get dressed quickly and go out for a walk with me after breakfast. I only have a few days of rest."

"I haven't had time to ask you yet," Katarina's words reminded Julian of last night's conversation, and he couldn't help but hold his clothes and ask: "What is the assessment the general is talking about...?"

"Oh, I have to take the dungeon trial test in three days." Catalina put a hand on her waist and said lightly.

"What!?" Julian looked at Catalina in a daze, and after a while he finally realized what he said: "The dungeon trial test you mentioned is..."

"Yes, that's the one." Catalina didn't seem to want to say more. Seeing Julian, she still wanted to ask. She stepped forward, grabbed a piece of clothing and stuffed it into Julian's body. She said impatiently: "Put it on quickly.

Otherwise, I will leave it all to you and let you go shopping with me in these pajamas!"

"Hey...hey!" Under Katarina's urging, Julian hurriedly put on the clothes one by one.

Until Julian put on his clothes and stood on the ground, Catalina looked him up and down, nodded with satisfaction, with a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes: "I didn't expect you to look really good after changing your clothes, Bicheng

Those young ladies in there are much more handsome."

"Hey!" Julian was wearing a black half-length windbreaker and a pair of riding boots. The aristocratic production process has processed every detail very finely, whether it is the stitching or the patterns on the sleeves and collar.

All perfect.

This kind of clothes, combined with Julian's self-confidence and indifference that he has accumulated over the years, and the slight trace of vicissitudes between his eyebrows, are no different than those noble sons from noble families in the Immortal Fortress.

Compared to the previous one, it was more like a different person.

Seeing Catalina tugging on her clothes and praising her, Julian felt dumbfounded.

But at this time, he was still thinking about the assassination dungeon test that Catalina just mentioned, but when he was about to speak, Catalina turned around and walked out of the house as if she had expected it.

"Let's go out!"
