Chapter 10: Be an apprentice and a thief first
Tess hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the richly dressed man, and said politely:
"Master Max, if you need to tell me directly, why bother to go yourself."
"How could this bastard be here!?
Mage Cyra told the envoy that he would punish him, why is he in the Demon Hunters' Guild!?
If you are doing this, I will go back and tell the envoy at once! β
Max was furious.
What logic? Ignore these things for now, isn't it because someone accidentally stepped on his foot?
"Hey! What are you selling silk! Don't be so unreasonable!
Why can't I come to the Witchers' Guild? Is it good for me to come here?
How did it become yang and yin? Isn't it just stepping on your feet?
She doesn't have eyes on the back of her head, how do you know what is standing behind her silently!?
Oh no, it's not a thing, it's selling that or something. β
Tian Ji patted the back of his head and said with a smile.
"It's Max! You did it on purpose! You deliberately called my name!
Miss Tess, you see, this is the punishment that your Mage Cyra is talking about?
Is this punishing me or punishing him!? β
Manager Max was so angry that the bruises on his face burst out.
Tess frowned and glared at Tian Ji:
"You can't say less! Apologize to Mr. Max! β
Tian Ji looked at Tess in disbelief and pointed to his nose.
Why should I apologize? Who did I recruit and who messed with me?
"I'm sorry, Master Max! It was we who accidentally stepped on your shoes, and I wiped them for you. β
Akali whispered, bowing to Max and apologizing.
He took out a handkerchief and squatted beside Max, carefully shining his shoes.
Tian Ji frowned, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Tess.
Max glanced at Akali with a strange and obscene look on his face.
Bending down and taking Akali's little hand, Akali was like a frightened rabbit, struggling violently, but did not break away.
"What's your name?" Max asked in a strange tone.
"Ahh Whispering in reply, he pulled his hand back and hid behind Tanya.
Max smiled and nodded, didn't even say anything, just glared at Tian Ji coldly, turned around and left.
Tess slapped her chest and exhaled, and as if she remembered something, she explained a few words on the counter of the management office, and hurried to chase Max.
Tian Ji froze in place and scratched his head, since Dania refused to take her as an apprentice, then wait for Tess to come back.
Having made up his mind, Tian Ji walked towards the rest area of the hall.
"Hey! What kind of chicken is that, Mr. Chicken, wait a minute. β
Dania pulled Akali after her.
"What Mr. Chicken, it's Mr. Tian!"
Tian Ji stood still, turned around and said unhappily.
"Ah, whatever. Well, do you have anything to do with that envoy? β
What do you mean by casual!?
"Well, it's okay, it's just that I don't like it and want to beat him, but I was killed instead."
Tian Ji scratched his head and replied helplessly.
ββ¦β¦ What happened in the Carrot Hotel a few days ago, you were the one who went against the envoy? β
Tanya showed a surprised expression, she couldn't believe that this guy in front of her, who wasn't even a witcher's apprentice, had the courage to talk to the envoy, I'm afraid he wasn't a fool!?
looked at Tian Ji with the eyes of a fool for a while, and saw that Tian Ji was uncomfortable.
"Hey, you, you, what do you want to do?" Tian Ji asked nervously.
"Hey, don't you want me to take you as an apprentice?" A mischievous smile spread across Tania's face.
That smile made Tian Ji have a bad premonition, but he still nodded involuntarily.
"If you can steal all those shitty envoys' shoes, I'll take you as an apprentice!"
Ha? I'm not here to be a thief!
Tian Ji's expression froze, and he really didn't know how to answer.
"Hmph, forget it, if you don't have the guts, you don't have to bother me anymore!"
Without waiting for the pheasant to answer, Dania pulled Akali outside.
Akali glanced back at Tian Ji and nodded at him with a smile.
For the mission! Can't miss it!
"Wait! I'll go! I'll go! But first, you have to tell me where they live! β

There is a small white castle on the hillside behind the Oriental Square in Ganquan Town.
It is the highest place in the whole town, and it is also the residence of the former governor of Ganquan Town.
Today, it is often used to receive VIPs.
This time the king's envoys lived in this small castle, and as was customary, they lived in the house on the east side.
The field chicken came here alone under the guidance of Tania.
The backpack contained the dry food that the sisters Bonnie and Lena had prepared for him.
There is not only a moat but also a guard, and it is almost impossible to swagger in in broad daylight.
Besides, if you want to steal all the shoes, you probably have to wait until the envoys are asleep, right?
Anyway, it was still early, so Tian Ji simply found a big tree, and fell asleep under the big tree with his headrest and backpack.
"Goo-goo-goo-goo Wow! β
What a sound so ugly!
Tian Ji was awakened, opened his eyes and looked, a rooster-sized ...... Birds, probably birds!?
He flapped his huge wings with great vigour, and his round black eyes shone with a strange light.
Well?! This chicken ...... Bird...... Why do you seem to be staring at me?
Tian Ji hurriedly sat up, and the strange bird's gaze really turned with his movement.
The pheasant waved his hand, trying to drive away the strange bird.
The strange bird only jumped back a few times, and had no intention of leaving.
"Go away! Go away! Don't stare at me! β
The strange bird didn't care, and continued to star.
If you can't afford to provoke it, hurry up.
The field chicken walked, the strange bird followed, he stopped, and the strange bird also stopped.
"What do you mean!? What are you doing with me!? β
"Wow! Wow wow! Goo-goo-goo-"
The strange bird seemed to understand what the field chicken was saying, and was explaining to him the bark.
What the? What did you say? I don't understand!
Tian Ji helplessly spread his hands and continued to walk forward.
"Wow! Wow! Wowββ! β
The strange bird was angry, and jumped on the shoulders of the field pheasant with its wings, and its claws pierced his clothes, piercing his skin.
Hurt! It hurts!
"What are you going to do!?"
If you are seen pinching yourself against a strange bird like a chicken, you will definitely die of laughter!
Good thing there's no one around! Grab the strange bird's tail.
"Let it go! No, let go of your claws! Or I'll rip your tail off! β
The strange bird's eyes rolled wildly, as if wondering if this guy would actually do that.
"Wowββ!"
The strange bird suddenly made another strange call, stretched its neck and pecked at the head of the field chicken.
Dodo! Dodo! The hard beak shell is like a sharp blade, which can't be resisted by the field chicken.
"If you have something to say, it's good to say! What do you want to do!? If you mess around again, I'll pluck out your hair, cook it, and eat it! β
The field chicken was finally enraged, grabbed the wings of the strange bird with both hands, and pulled a handful of hairs.
"Yikeββ! Yikesββ! β
The cry of the strange bird became sharp, and the sound was like the scream of a girl!
