Chapter 15: Pull Down the Skirt

Jade City ushers in a new day.

When the old butler opened the curtains, the dazzling sunlight made Wu Jing's eyes squint slightly.

On the table in front of him was a pile of papers, symbolizing the result of a sleepless night last night. However, these documents are not part of any official business, they are merely an investigation report on a girl.

"No Sword" Wu Jing read the girl's name, and after a night of investigation, he could only guess.

"Call her here."

He ordered the girl to be brought.

A girl with an ordinary appearance walked into his study, her face calm and natural. The girl was rather strange, she hadn't been scared when she first saw Wujing yesterday, and she hadn't shown much surprise when she knew her parents were inhuman.

In Wujing's eyes, Wujian had long sensed that her parents were abnormal.

But that's not the reason why he feels mysterious about her, the real mystery of Swordless lies in herself. When he sent his mages to investigate, he found the girl hidden in a fog where no one could see her for what she was.

She is surrounded by magic whose effect is unknown, but the power contained in it is so powerful that it can destroy the entire Jade City with a single explosion.

As a result, Wujian was a ticking time bomb for Wujing - he even suspected that her appearance was fake. But even so, Wujing did not intend to withdraw his promise to Xia Han, he was a man of his word.

"Where did she go?"

Incense roamed in the study, and it was Wujian who broke the silence first.

"She? He went to the ghetto. Wujing didn't have to think twice to know that the person she asked was Xia Han, and there was a faint coldness in his eyes: "While he is away, I want to talk to you." ”

In the new arena he offers, Bladeless may be a very good tool.

——

In the evening, Xia Han left the slum in a carriage.

He lifted the curtains and watched the church spire disappear into the mist, then realized that perhaps he would never come back to this place again without him.

No goodbye, no farewell, departure as usual.

[It's like traveling. 】

Xia Han was born in this world and never felt the existence of home, maybe this world will really only be a long journey for him.

"Ding! Story mode update, one of the route of the Imperial Singer has been completed"

"Roadmap Update, Route 2: Singing Conqueror of Jade City Conditions: Initial Faith Completion Reward for the number of people on each of the three tiers of Jade City and nearby towns: Qualifications for stages in various parts of the Jade Empire are open (Imperial Singer)."

The two updated messages made Xia Han stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

The 'Imperial Singer's Path' is precisely the path to the Imperial Singer, starting with the slums, then the city, and the Imperial Route will only be opened after completing a city's strategy. This step-by-step proof of value and improved treatment is very game system feeling.

After the slum quest ended, the flowers on Xia Han's back bloomed with a total of seven petals. He estimated that there were about a dozen remaining petals from the degree of bud reduction, and he should be able to break the second seal in time for Route 2.

The reward of the first seal is infinite mana, although its side effects make Xia Han have to take time out to exercise every day, but the strength of this reward is undoubted, which makes him full of expectations for the reward brought by the second seal.

And that night, the City Lord's Mansion was lit up brighter than usual.

Brand new lanterns were hung from the eaves, and bright flames covered the walls with an orange glow. In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, there were two long tables with various fruit pastries, and hundreds of brightly dressed nobles gathered here, bursting into laughter from time to time.

It was a grand banquet, and it was also the first banquet that Xia Han attended.

The main purpose of this banquet is to reveal Xia Han's identity, and it is also a manifestation of Wujing's decision to push Xia Han to the outside world.

After tonight, everyone in the Jade Empire will know that the little princess Xia Han has settled in Jade City, and she will pass on her beautiful singing voice to the kind and simple people of the empire - it is estimated that only the people at the bottom will believe this kind of words.

As long as the nobles who are not stupid can see that Xia Han has become a puppet without thorns, and the princess becoming a singer is the biggest joke in history, which country's princess will become the people's entertainment and pastime?

Soon, a strange phenomenon appeared in the banquet held in the City Lord's Mansion: all the nobles gathered around Wujing, and Xia Han, the protagonist of the banquet, was ignored.

"Hey"

In the crowded hall, Xia Han was once again squeezed out.

"Your Royal Highness, be careful."

A pot-bellied aristocratic man who squeezed him away glanced at Xia Han with disdain, and then hurried away.

"I'm unlucky."

Xia Han shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the long table.

"Why are you still laughing?" Suddenly, a voice asked him in the back, it was Wujian who had become a maid, and she didn't understand why Xia Han could still keep a smile on her face.

Wu Jing told Wu Jian everything, Xia Han's life experience shocked her, she didn't expect that the person she had to serve was a noble prince, but he was very pitiful but was forced to live as a woman as a man, and suffered five years in prison.

God treats him so unfairly, why can he still laugh?

"Huh?" Xia Han glanced back at Wujian strangely, and he asked, "Do you want to cry if I don't laugh?"

Wujian's question was somewhat familiar, it seemed that someone had asked Xia Han before, but he didn't bother to think about these inconsequential things. Xia Han saw that the biggest benefit of the banquet was to eat a lot, and he ate and drank around the long table, but noticed the other two people.

A familiar Lori, a handsome young knight.

Lori is Bai Yue, the daughter of Wujing, and the young man is not clear. The two of them had been staring at Xia Han for a long time, and there was fire in Bai Yue's eyes, and she was jumping up and down in front of the young man, pointing fingers as if she wanted him to do something, but the young man kept shaking his head.

[Don't dare to do it to me? 】

Xia Han saw through his mind from the young man's occasional glance, this young man was very timid. Such a timid person would not pose a threat at all - Xia Han was about to ignore the two fools, but suddenly found that the young man nodded, and his gaze shifted to the swordless behind Xia Han.

didn't dare to find trouble with the princess, so he found the maid beside the princess, thus indirectly dismissing Xia Han?

Xia Han observed quietly, and he saw the young man leave Bai Yue, walked to the place where the drinks and liquor were placed, and quietly put something in a drink.

[Nima, dare to poison! ] 】

Bai Yue and the young man's actions made Xia Han's heart spark, of course he didn't know if there was poison or something else in the drink, but it was best to treat it as poison.

"No sword, follow me."

Xia Han walked towards Bai Yue with no sword, his movements startled Bai Yue, and he stood a little at a loss.

"Good evening, your injuries healed?"

However, Xia Han smiled in front of Bai Yue: "It's good that there are no scars!" ”

"Well, thank you, my mother helped me with my treatment." Bai Yue was stunned for a moment, and then replied gratefully: "You can also find my mother if you are injured, she is the most powerful priest!" ”

After saying that, she blinked twice, then patted her head.

"No, I won't let you go to your mother!"

The spark in Xia Han's heart was extinguished in an instant, he always felt that it was not very good to teach her, if he changed his tutor, he would definitely be a good child.

But it's not a way for her to target Xia Han like this.

"Miss!"

This is the young knight who was holding the drink, and found that Xia Han and the two were staying by Bai Yue's side, and ran over with a nervous face.

Xia Han frowned, he noticed that no one in the hall was looking at this side, so he quietly cast a spell to create two pieces of cold ice in his hand. These two pieces of ice are as thin as lenses - this time, Xia Han has not left behind his spell control training.

When the young man approached, Xia Han quietly threw out a piece of ice.

"Hey!"

The young man's right foot just stepped on the ice, and his figure suddenly crooked, and the drink in his hand flew out. But he seemed to have some strength, and his left foot quickly stepped on the ground, and he immediately stabilized his body...... This is certainly not possible.

Xia Han had already thrown out another cold ice, just in front of the young man's left foot, and as soon as he stepped on it, his left foot was also crooked, and he could only scream and fall forward. And as he fell, he grabbed something with his struggling hands.

"Woo" and "bump"!

The drink spilled on the ground, and the young man threw his face to the ground. His nose was burning with pain, and his heart was full of shame: such a loud noise was enough for everyone in the hall to see, how would he face everyone's laughter next?

One second, two seconds, three seconds, why is it so quiet around you?

The young man looked up in fear, and was greeted by the white-green cloth he was holding in his hand. The cloth was somewhat familiar, and he continued to look up with a sense of foreboding, only to see a profane trouser embroidered with a rabbit

"Big Miss"

He swallowed his saliva, and his heart was agitated, why didn't the eldest lady wear a skirt

"Oh my God, he ripped off Miss's skirt!"

"Damn knight, the city lord will definitely cut him with a thousand knives!"

There was a commotion in the hall, and even Xia Han didn't expect such a dramatic scene at all: the young man reached out and ripped off Bai Yue's skirt when he fell.

The person concerned, Bai Yue, stood stupidly in place, her mouth flattened, and fog began to brew in her big eyes.

"Wow, I'm going to get my mother to fire you!!" Then he ran outside crying - in bunny pants.

Looking at her back, the young man looked at the skirt in his hand again, and his face turned pale.

"It's okay, I'll explain to the lord that it was an accident"

Xia Han squatted beside the pale young man and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"You" The young man looked at Xia Han in astonishment, and the gentle smile on Xia Han's face made him feel ashamed: "You are really a good person"

How could such a kind princess frame her maid?
