When the old housekeeper opened the curtains, the dazzling sunlight made Wu Jing squint his eyes slightly.
There was a pile of documents on the table in front of him, symbolizing the results of a sleepless night last night. However, these documents did not belong to any official business, they were just investigation reports on a girl.
"Wu Jian..." Wu Jing read the girl's name. After a night of investigation, he could only guess.
"Call her over."
He ordered someone to bring the girl.
A girl with an ordinary appearance walked into his study, her face was calm and natural. This girl was quite strange. She was not afraid when she saw Wujing for the first time yesterday, and she didn't show much fear when she knew that her parents were inhuman things.
surprise.
In Wujing's eyes, Wujian had long noticed that her parents were abnormal.
But this was not the reason why he felt she was mysterious. The real mystery of Wujian lay in her. When he sent his mage to investigate, he found that this girl seemed to be hidden in a pile of fog, and no one could see her true nature.
She is surrounded by magic. The effect of this magic is unknown, but the power contained in it is so powerful that it can destroy the entire Jade City with just one burst.
Therefore, Wu Jian is a time bomb for Wu Jing - he even suspects that her appearance is false. But even so, Wu Jing does not intend to take back his promise to Xia Han. He is a man of his word.
people.
"Where...has she gone?"
Incense was lingering in the study, and Wu Jian was the first to break the silence.
"She? He went to the slums." Wujing knew without a second thought that the person she was asking was Xia Han. There was a faint coldness in his eyes: "While he is not here, I want to talk to you."
In the new stage he provides, Wujian may be a very excellent tool.
——
In the evening, Xia Han left the slums in a carriage.
He opened the curtains, watched the church steeple disappear into the mist, and then realized that maybe he would never come to this place again after leaving.
No farewell, no farewell, just leave as usual.
【Like traveling.】
Xia Han was born in this world and has never felt the existence of home. Perhaps this world is really just a long journey for him.
"Ding! The plot mode has been updated, the Road to the Imperial Diva... one of the routes has been completed..."
"Roadmap updated, Route 2: Singing Conqueror of Jade City... Conditions: Obtain the preliminary faith of three levels of people in Jade City and nearby towns... Completion reward: The qualifications for stages in various parts of the Jade Empire are open (Empire Diva)
.”
The two updated messages made Xia Han stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized.
To be precise, the 'Road of the Imperial Diva' should be a gradual path to the Imperial Diva. It starts with the slums and then the city. After completing a city's strategy, the imperial route will be opened. This step by step proves the increase in value.
The treatment feels very much like a game system.
After the mission in the slums was over, the flowers on Xia Han's back bloomed with seven petals in total. Based on the reduction of the buds, he estimated that there were about a dozen petals left, and he should be able to unlock the second seal on Route 2.
The reward of the first seal is unlimited mana. Although its side effects make Xia Han take time to exercise every day, there is no doubt about the power of this reward, which makes him full of rewards brought by the second seal.
expect.
And that night, the city lord's palace was lit up with brighter lights than usual.
Brand new lanterns were hung on the eaves, and the bright flames covered the walls with a layer of orange light. There were two long tables in the hall of the city lord's palace, with various fruit pastries on them, and hundreds of people.
The nobles in bright clothes gathered here, and bursts of laughter broke out from time to time.
This is a grand banquet, and it is also the first banquet that Xia Han attends.
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, passing on her beautiful singing voice to the kind and honest people of the empire - probably only the people at the bottom will believe this.
Any noble who is not stupid can see that Xia Han has become Wu Jing's puppet, and the princess turning into a singer is the biggest joke in history. Which country's princess will become a tool for people's entertainment?
Soon, a strange phenomenon occurred at the banquet held in the city lord's palace: all the nobles gathered around Wujing, but no one paid attention to the protagonist of the banquet, Xia Han.
"Why..."
In the crowded hall, Xia Han was squeezed out of the way again.
"Your Highness, be careful."
A paunchy aristocratic man who squeezed him away looked at Xia Han with disdain, and then ran away in a hurry.
"What bad luck."
Xia Han shrugged and walked towards the long table.
"You... why are you still smiling?" Suddenly a voice asked him from behind. It was Wu Jian who became a maid. She didn't understand why Xia Han could still keep a smile on his face.
Wu Jing told Wu Jian everything. Xia Han's life experience shocked her. She didn't expect that the person she wanted to serve was a noble prince, but he was very pitiful... Although he was a man, he was forced to live as a woman and suffered
Five years in prison.
God treated him so unfairly, why could he still laugh?
"Huh?" Xia Han looked back at Wu Jian strangely, and asked, "If I don't laugh, am I going to cry..."
Wu Jian's question was a bit familiar. Someone seemed to have asked Xia Han before, but he was too lazy to recall these irrelevant things. In Xia Han's eyes, the biggest advantage of the banquet was eating a lot. As he ate and drank around the long table, he noticed
Two other people.
A familiar loli and a handsome young knight.
Loli was Wujing's daughter Bai Yue, but the young man didn't know. The two of them had been staring at Xia Han for a long time. Bai Yue's eyes were burning. She was jumping around in front of the young man, gesticulating as if she wanted him to do something, but
The young man kept shaking his head.
【Don’t you dare to attack me?】
Xia Han saw through the young man's thoughts from the occasional glance at him. 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 idiots, but suddenly found that the young man nodded, and
His gaze shifted to focus on Wu Jian behind Xia Han.
He didn't dare to cause trouble for the princess, so he found the maid next to the princess, thereby indirectly embarrassing Xia Han?
Xia Han observed quietly. He saw the young man leaving Bai Yue, walking to the place where the drinks were placed, and quietly putting something into a drink.
【Nima, you dare to poison me!】
The actions of Bai Yue and the young man sparked a spark in Xia Han's heart. Of course, he didn't know whether there was poison or something else in the drink, but it was best to treat it as poison.
"Wu Jian, follow me."
Xia Han walked towards Bai Yue with Wu Jian. His actions startled Bai Yue, who stood there in a daze at a loss.
"Good evening, are you healed?"
However, Xia Han smiled in front of Bai Yue: "It's great that there are no scars!"
"Well, ah... thank you, my mother helped me treat you." Bai Yue was stunned for a moment, and then replied gratefully: "You can also go to my mother if you are injured. She is the most powerful priest!"
After she finished speaking, she blinked twice and then patted her head.
"No...I don't allow you to go find your mother!"
Such a natural girl... The spark in Xia Han's heart suddenly went out again. He always felt that it was not very good to teach her a lesson. If he had another tutor, he would definitely be a good child.
But it's not an option for her to target Xia Han like this.
"Miss!"
This is when the young knight carrying a drink noticed that Xia Han and the two were staying next to Bai Yue, and ran over with a nervous look on his face.
Xia Han frowned. He noticed that no one in the hall was looking here, so he quietly cast a spell to create two pieces of ice in his hands. The two pieces of ice were as thin as lenses - during this period, Xia Han
Han Ke didn't miss his magic control training.
When the young man approached, Xia Han quietly threw out a piece of ice.
"Why!"
The young man's right foot just happened to step on the ice, and his body suddenly tilted, and the drink in his hand flew out. But he seemed to have some strength, and he quickly stepped forward with his left foot and stabilized his body immediately... This was of course impossible.
Xia Han had already thrown another piece of ice out, and it happened to be thrown in front of the young man's left foot. He stepped on it, and his left foot also tilted. He could only scream and fall forward. And the one who fell forward
At that moment, his struggling hands moved forward to catch something.
"Bang" "bang"!
The drink spilled all over the floor, and the young man threw his face to the ground. His nose was burning with pain, and he felt ashamed: Such a loud noise was enough to make everyone in the hall look over, so how would he face the ridicule of everyone next?
One second, two seconds, three seconds...eh...why is it so quiet around here?
The young man raised his head fearfully, and what came into view was the white and green piece of cloth he was holding in his hand. This piece of cloth was somewhat familiar... He continued to look up with an ominous premonition, and saw a
Trousers embroidered with rabbits...
"Eldest...eldest lady..."
He swallowed, his heart agitated, why didn't the eldest lady wear a skirt...
"Oh my god, he ripped off the lady's skirt!"
"Damn knight, the city lord will definitely cut him into pieces!"
.... There was a commotion in the hall, and even Xia Han did not expect such a dramatic scene: when the young man fell, he stretched out his hand and pulled off Bai Yue's skirt.
The person involved, Bai Yue, stood there stupidly, her mouth flattened, and mist began to brew in her big eyes.
"Wow... I'm going to make my mother fire you!!" Then she ran outside while crying - wearing bunny pants.
After looking at her back, the young man looked at the skirt in his hand, and his face turned pale.
"It's okay, I will explain to the city lord that it was an accident..."
Xia Han squatted beside the pale young man and patted his shoulder with a smile.
"You..." The young man looked at Xia Han in shock. The gentle smile on Xia Han's face made him feel ashamed: "You are such a good person..."
Such a kind princess...how could he frame her maid?
