Chapter 3: Light and Sword
"Ah...... There's no place to eat around here......" Bai Xuanyi walked around, trying to find a place to satisfy her hunger, but it seemed like nothing was going on.
The street she's on now is a street full of weapons shops and prop shops, and it looks like she's in the wrong place.
"Weapons shops...... Bai Xuanyi looked curiously at the neat rows of storefronts around him, "It's much more formal than those in my hometown." ”
Her hometown can be regarded as a relatively large village and town, but because the transportation facilities at home are relatively perfect, it is exceptionally classified as a city, but there is still nothing to do.
There are also a few weapon shops, but they are all shoddy things, and the price is much lower than here.
“...... What materials are these weapons made of...... Bai Xuanyi said.
However, she had no intention of going in to find out, and the matter of Timus still had a shadow over her.
"Hmm...... It seems good here! Bai Xuanyi stopped in front of a very imposing restaurant.
The plaque of the hotel has four big characters written "Caginette" in delicate red ink, perhaps with some kind of spell added, which looks very shiny.
Bai Xuanyi looked at it for a while, and then walked in happily, "Hello?" Anyone? ”
"Welcome, may I ask ......" A delicate-looking waitress greeted her, but she was instantly stunned when she saw the appearance of the girl in front of her.
"Is there anything bad on my face?" Bai Xuanyi said curiously, and the people who were dining in the restaurant also raised their heads and looked at her.
"Ah, no, no, welcome!" The waiter quickly reacted, "Are you alone?" ”
"Yes." Bai Xuanyi replied, "Do you have any special dishes?" ”
"Ah, our signature dish is the Kajinette Light Pot Rice, which I think you'll love." The waitress said enthusiastically, secretly looking at Bai Xuanyi.
Bai Xuanyi pretended not to see it, "Then, let's have one." ”
"Okay, it's fifty copper coins." The waiter took the copper coin that Bai Xuanyi took out.
Bai Xuanyi found a corner and sat down, and found that the people around her were all looking at her with a strange gaze.
...... Why do you look at me like that? Haven't anyone here ever seen a white-haired one?
Soon, the waiter brought the light pot rice, and Bai Xuanyi couldn't help but secretly praise the efficiency of this restaurant.
This Kajinette light pot rice is also very affordable, the transparent crystal pot the size of the basin is filled with yellow rice and steamed vegetables, and the fragrance is very strong, Bai Xuanyi can't help but squint his eyes when he eats.
Is there anything so delicious in the world?
Just as Bai Xuanyi was concentrating on destroying the food in front of him, a handsome man in a black suit and tie walked over.
"Beautiful young lady, can I sit like this?" The man asked politely, revealing a Prince Charming.
“...... OK. Bai Xuanyi looked at him while secretly looking around, and found that the other customers were all peeking at her and the man.
"My name is Archvilo, you can call me Archie." The man crossed his hands and looked at the white-haired girl in front of him.
"Hello, Archie, my name is Bai Xuanyi." Bai Xuanyi responded to him, and at the same time noticed that the eyes of the people around him became more and more strange.
Is this man a noble person? Looks like he's just a playboy.
"Please allow me to offend, Miss Bai." Archie said, "You're really charming, I fell in love with you at first sight." ”
Bai Xuanyi quietly put down his chopsticks and spoon and sat down, "Are you serious?" ”
"That's right, beautiful young lady." Archie looked at her intently, "I'm the young master of the Cardinette family and the manager of this hotel. ”
"Oh." Bai Xuanyi said absentmindedly, while secretly scanning the surroundings.
Yaqi looked a little embarrassed, but he still said, "Miss Bai, can you tell me which wealthy family you belong to?" ”
Bai Xuanyi blinked, "Why did you tell you?" ”
Archie's lips twitched, but he still smiled and said, "So I can come to the door to propose." ”
"Oh." Bai Xuanyi took a bite of rice, "You are welcome to come to the door, but forget about the proposal." ”
“...... Miss Bai, don't you think you're a little too disrespectful to me? ”
"No, I'm just talking about things." Bai Xuanyi scratched his head with his index finger, "Besides, I should be the one who feels disrespectful when I propose marriage to a stranger who meets for the first time." ”
The people around stopped eating one after another and turned their eyes to Bai Xuanyi's side, as if they wanted to watch a good show.
"Don't you know that the Callinette family is a well-known branch of the royal family?" Archie's tone raised slightly, "Miss Bai, you have to think clearly, what you are facing is not an ordinary nobleman!" ”
Bai Xuanyi put down the cutlery and looked coldly at the somewhat annoyed Archie.
"So?" Bai Xuanyi said sarcastically, "You plan to force me to marry you?" ”
Archivelo was visibly irritated by her, "So what? Even if you are indeed a nobleman, you can't compare to our family! You should be honored! ”
"Oh." Bai Xuanyi looked at Archie, and suddenly threw out the light pot in front of him, and Archie, who was caught off guard, was instantly thrown with yellow rice.
"You !!!" Archie stood up suddenly, "Good! Today I'm going to make you pay the price you deserve! ”
"Someone! Lock up this little girl who doesn't know whether she is alive or dead! Yaqi roared, and several waiters around him hurriedly came over and took out handkerchiefs to wipe his face, while several big men walked towards Bai Xuanyi, who was sitting.
Bai Xuanyi smiled slightly, and was about to make a move, but he heard another male voice that broke out in an instant, "Yaqivelo!" What kind of ability is it to bully a little girl?!! ”
Hearing this somewhat rough voice, Archie was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw a tall and very strong man.
The man's appearance is not very good-looking, but it is very reassuring, at least Bai Xuanyi thinks that he is much more reliable than Archie.
"Xu Mingjian! You're going to fight again?! Archie shouted.
"So what?!" Xu Mingjian took a few steps forward, "I just can't get used to seeing you, a well-dressed beast, scourge ignorant girls everywhere!" ”
Bai Xuanyi's face darkened, although she was very grateful to the eldest brother who came to solve the siege, but what does an ignorant girl mean?!
"Good, good!" Archie's expression became extremely hideous, and the oil stains that had not yet been wiped off shone brightly.
"Little girl, come with me!" Xu Mingjian said.
Bai Xuanyi didn't want to stay longer, so he hurriedly got up and followed Xu Mingjian out of the hotel.
The sound of smashing things from behind him made Bai Xuanyi smile, "This young master of the Kajinette family is too late......"
"That bastard is that virtuous." Xu Mingjian said disdainfully, "Girl, it's okay if you're fine." ”
"Your name is Xu Mingjian, right...... Aren't you afraid of offending that fool? Bai Xuanyi asked with some concern.
"Of course not." Xu Mingjian smiled, "I'm a member of the Black Yao Sword Heng Association, he doesn't dare to do anything to me." ”
"Black Yao Sword Heng Association?" Bai Xuanyi blinked, "What's that?" ”
Xu Mingjian's expression was incredulous, "You don't even know Jian Heng?" Aren't you one of these? ”
“...... Be. Bai Xuanyi said.
"The Black Yao Sword Heng Association is an association formed by some veterans to maintain justice and peace in the city." Xu Mingjian explained, "It is under the jurisdiction of the branch of the Imperial Sword Heng Association in Heiyao City, and even the Kajinette family can't shake us. ”
"yes, it's amazing." Bai Xuanyi smiled at Xu Mingjian.
Xu Mingjian's face flushed, and then he lowered his head slightly, "Where are you from?" ”
"Me? Hmm......" Bai Xuanyi scratched his head with his index finger, "You just think I'm from the countryside." ”
"I don't believe that." Xu Mingjian smiled, "You must be the daughter of a noble family, don't even think about it." ”
"Since you think so, then I can't help it~." Bai Xuanyi's silver eyes shone slightly.
She can easily know that Xu Mingjian is an honest and honest person, and he has a great sense of justice and responsibility.
It is easy to get along with such a person, and it is also a reliable friend.
"By the way, do you know the Thousand Curtain Academy?" Bai Xuanyi asked, and the two walked side by side.
"Of course I know, I'm a student of Thousand Acts." Xu Mingjian said proudly, "What, are you going to prepare for school?" ”
"Uh-huh." Bai Xuanyi smiled and nodded, "Then you are my senior." ”
Xu Mingjian looked embarrassed, "Senior ......"
"What's interesting about the Thousand Scenes?" Bai Xuanyi blinked curiously.
"Hmm...... Tomorrow we will hold an event to welcome the new students. Xu Mingjian said.
"In this case, I'm going to enroll tomorrow, so it's not just for me, right?" Bai Xuanyi said seriously.
"How is that possible!" Xu Mingjian looked incredulous, "Even the children of the royal family don't have that kind of treatment when they are enrolled in school." ”
"Oh, that's it......" Bai Xuanyi touched his long hair, "Then I'll see you tomorrow, Senior Xu." ”
"Okay...... See you tomorrow! Xu Mingjian left in the direction of the Thousand Curtain Academy, and he still had official business on him.
"What a nice guy." Bai Xuanyi muttered, "Hmm...... It's getting dark, it's time to go back. ”
Bai Xuanyi watched the sunset gradually setting in the distance, thoughtful.
She has an aversion to the night, and it can be said that everything has to do with darkness, and she seems to be very sensitive to this aspect.
She didn't know why, and neither did her mother, but she wasn't bothered by the ability.
Perhaps there is a special mission in the dark that prompts her to lift the curtain of falsehood and deception again and again.
