Chapter 35: It Was You
"What the hell is going on?" An Xu choked in his throat, he still couldn't believe that a big living person could actually turn into a cat, and this person was still the eldest lady of the Yakumo family?
Ya Yunling reluctantly walked back to the window and threw the book in his hand to An Xu: "Oh, read it yourself!" β
An Xu took the thick book, and started it heavy, like a brick, the pages were a little yellow, it seemed to be very old, and there were a few big words written on the brown cover:
'Secret Notes'
"This is a notebook I got by chance, and it contains some secret spells, but the information is incomplete." Yayun Ling spread his hands, sat on the chair and said, "It's a pity that there are too few outstanding secret mages here in the Huiye Kingdom, so I had to study it myself, but I didn't expect that something went wrong in an experimentββ"
"And then?" An Xu couldn't help but ask.
"And then, as you can see, I used Transfiguration to turn into a cat, but I couldn't use magic energy to get back! You also know my identity, if you let the people of the family know about this, I'm afraid there will be a big mess, I have no choice but to hide and slowly find a way to change back! β
Speaking of this, Ya Yunling suddenly coughed a little embarrassed, and continued: "I hid in a box in the courtyard, but I didn't expect that it was a shipment that was going to be transported to Hidden Moon City, and that group of idiots directly transported me to Hidden Moon City, and then I quietly ran out while they weren't paying attention!" β
"Then, you were picked up by An Xin?" An Xu suddenly realized, it made sense to explain this, no wonder An Xin said that Bei Bei had not been willing to eat.
The eldest lady of the Yakumo family, feed her some civilian leftovers, it's strange that she is willing to eat it.
"yes, I didn't have the ability to protect myself at all. The days in a row were really like nightmares, if An Xin hadn't carried me home, maybe I would have died! Yakumo Ling said.
All of a sudden, An Xu understood why she was so affectionate to An Xin when she saw Ba Yunling yesterday, not only because An Xin saved her life, but also because An Xin had always liked Bei Bei during that time, and even had to sleep with her arms at night, and her relationship was so good.
It turned out that yesterday An Xin said that Ba Yunling had a familiar smell, and it was also a memory left at that time.
However, An Xu still has a question: "Then how did you change back, I remember that night, you suddenly disappeared, and An Xin cried for a long time!" β
"Thanks to that weird thing you got back!" Yayun Ling glanced at An Xu with deep meaning.
An Xu was secretly shocked in his heart, and suddenly remembered the badge matter, originally thought that only he and An Xin saw that scene that night, but he didn't expect that there was a third person present.
The existence of the Star Badge is a secret, the less people know about it, the better, if Yakumo Ling arouses interest and wants to find out, with her identity and ability, I'm afraid things will become troublesome.
"Don't worry, I don't have the time to explore your little secrets right now, anyway, that night, a strong energy burst out from your hands, and this energy is exactly what I need to transform back into a human body. So I jumped on it, and I was back to what I am now! β
"At that time, I was not suitable to reveal my identity, so the moment I recovered my magic energy, I used a small spell and quietly left, with the strength of you just touching the threshold of one star, you won't notice it at all, so I thought I had disappeared!"
Ya Yun Ling finally finished explaining what happened, and then he crossed his legs and crossed his fingers to look at An Xu.
The shocked expression on his face made Yakumo Ling find it very interesting.
An Xu was indeed shocked, but he was already good! Such a bizarre thing happened around me, and it is estimated that someone else would have been stupid a long time ago.
Damn, it's better than the stories told in the albums sold on street corners.
"Okay, I think I've got a rough idea!" It took a long time for An Xu to let out a breath, trying to calm his mood, and asked, "But I still have a question, does this have anything to do with the commission you ordered?" β
I don't know why, since I knew that Yayun Ling was Beibei, even if the identities of the two were very different, An Xu was not as nervous as she was just now, and her tone became a lot more easy-going, and she had a feeling of facing an old acquaintance.
Fortunately, Yayun Ling didn't care about his attitude, otherwise he, an ordinary mercenary, would dare to be so casual in front of the eldest lady of the Yakumo family, and it was estimated that he would be given another reprimand.
"Of course it matters, I haven't completely solved the sequelae of my body yet, and from time to time I will lose control and change back again, at this time I don't want others to find out, I will need someone to help me cover up, you are the only person who knows, and you can do this job."
Ya Yunling told An Xu the reason, and he actually used An Xu as a shield.
"But I'm just a two-star warrior, I'm afraid I can't protect you, right?" An Xu is a very self-aware person, this is the eldest lady of the Yakumo family, he doesn't dare to take on such a heavy job casually, and he can't afford to be responsible if something goes wrong.
"Tsk, you're already two stars? It's going to improve pretty fast! Ya Yun Ling looked at An Xu curiously, she remembered very clearly that not long ago he was just a little soldier with no combat ability.
But it's just curiosity, a mere two-star warrior, and it can't get into her eyes.
"Don't think too much, do you think I'm a five-ring mage, and I will need your protection?" Ya Yun Ling said disdainfully.
"Five...... Five rings! An Xu suffered another thunderbolt, a girl about eighteen years old, was already a five-ring mage, which made An Xu, who had just been promoted to a two-star warrior, embarrassed.
And don't forget, he was promoted by the badge.
"Then you don't need me, right, can't you solve it easily with your own strength?" An Xu always felt that this matter was too expensive and weird, a two-star warrior served as a guard for the five-ring mage, who would believe it?
Ya Yunling rolled his eyes, leaned back in his chair helplessly, and said, "Hey, have you ever seen the heir of a big family who will personally do everything?" Those elders in the family will think that they have lost the face of the Yakumo family, and if I don't have guards by my side, they will immediately send someone over, and they will be annoyed to death. β
An Xu understood this time, what kind of guards was Yayun Ling recruiting, to put it bluntly, she was missing an errand runner, and because An Xu knew her secret, it was just right.
It's too extravagant, and it's still the kind of food that you pay for thirty gold coins a month, and only a big family like Yakumo doesn't care about it.
Yayun Ling said again: "So, your task is to cooperate with me well until I finish dealing with the family affairs here, during which I will transfer to the Demon Martial Academy in Hidden Moon City, and you will follow me as an escort, you are just about the same age as me, and you will not attract the attention of others." β
Demon Martial Academy?
An Xu suddenly remembered that Bingyan had said that he needed to learn some basic knowledge, but there was no solution, resulting in the recent combat skills staying in place without any improvement.
Now, why not a good opportunity?
If An Xu was still a little hesitant at the beginning, he was really moved at this moment, the Demon Martial Arts Academy can be said to be the best place to learn combat skills, and this time it is still a combination of work and study.
The best of both worlds, why not?
I just don't know what kind of experience this kind of accompanying task gives.,It's all up to you to improve your strength.,If you don't have experience.,It's going to have to be stagnant for a long time.γ
Either way, it's worth trying.
"Okay, I've taken this task!" An Xu finished thinking about it and finally made a decision.
"Listening to your tone, it seems like you don't want to!" Ya Yun Ling was a little indignant, not to mention anything else, the news that she Ba Yun Ling was going to recruit a personal guard spread out, and the people who came to apply for the job in a hurry could go from Hidden Moon City to Jade King City, even if they were willing to do it in vain.
This is the Yakumo family!
An Xu laughed embarrassedly, the reason why he was a little resistant was because he was really not good at contact with strange women, especially there were some small embarrassments between them, and it was inevitable that he would be a little uncomfortable when he thought that he would have to be alone for a long time in the future.
"Alright, let's settle it first! You move in in the evening, I will ask someone to prepare a room for you, and we will report to the Demon Martial Academy tomorrow morning! β
"I'm going to live here?" An Xu was stunned.
"Nonsense! Do you really understand what a personal escort is? Do I have to wait for you every morning? Ya Yun Ling said speechlessly, and began to wonder if it was right for him to choose such a person.
"Then what about An Xin?"
"Of course they came to stay with me! Is your broken house inhabited by people? Forget it before, now that I am here, I will definitely not let An Xin suffer anymore, I will give orders, An Xin will be my sister in the future, what she says is what I say! Yakumo said domineeringly.
An Xu was also depressed, well, now even my sister is going to be robbed!
"Then I have two more people in my house!" An Xu was still struggling for the last time, to be honest, although the conditions here were ten thousand times better, he still felt that his cabin was relatively cozy.
Yayun Ling raised his eyebrows: "Are you here for work or vacation, and you are still thinking about your woman?" Forget it, let's move over together, there are more rooms here, and there is no difference between two more people and two less. β
An Xu also wanted to explain the relationship between himself and Lina, but Ya Yunling had already issued an expulsion order, and he didn't leave him a chance to resist at all, so he had to pinch his nose and open the door in resignation.
Hey, I don't know how to tell them when I go back.
"By the way, when you leave, go to Yun Feng to pick a good outfit, it's a shame for you to go out with me in this dress, and others will think that the Yakumo family can't even afford the clothes of the guards!" Ya Yun Ling said suddenly.
Depend on! Did I just buy this dress, how many silver coins, and it will be tattered in your mouth?
An Xu was originally going to be tough once, wanting to tell Ya Yunling that he had money and could buy it himself, but after thinking about it, he stopped his impulse.
That's not right, now I'm Yakumo Ling's personal guard, isn't it written on the commission order, all expenses during the work are paid by the Yayun family, and if you have a bargain, don't take advantage of it, is it a fool?
An Xu thought with confidence.
