Bisna Ofir pressed down slightly with his palms, smoothing the corners and folds of his clothes that were blown by the wind. He was not too old next year, but his eyes that were somewhat clouded by desire for power stared at Cliles.I looked at the person next to him for a while, and then twitched the corners of my mouth stiffly under the gaze of the other party who could not see any emotions, and said without even hiding his dissatisfaction: "It should be. It's just that your majesty is really here.It was too sudden, and there may be some places where the hospitality is not good, so please forgive me at that time."

As soon as the words fell, Cliles still had that icy look, but the young man next to him who couldn't see his face was the first to question him, and what he said almost made Bisna Ofir's blood pressure soar.

"With so many people serving, how can you not entertain well? Can you just say that you don't welcome Cliles' visit, or is there something in your house that is inconvenient for us to see?"

Hearing this, Bisna Ofir put away the forced smile on his lips, the corners of his mouth were drawn into a straight line, and his cold eyes pierced straight to the direction where the voice came from.

Then the line of sight that he thought was very bluffing was completely blocked by the extremely low fluffy-rimmed hat, and even if he tried to use his toes, he knew that it would not affect the people inside at all.

"..."

His forehead twitched violently twice, and Bisna didn't bother to engage in some face-saving projects, so he staggered his body and bowed half-perfunctorily, saying, "The people brought by His Majesty are really good at joking, what inconvenience can we have?", It’s just that it’s not as good as in the palace, no matter how well prepared you are, you’ll worry about offending His Majesty, if you don’t mind, please come in.”

"Why would you mind? There are far fewer people serving in the palace than you. Your Majesty is not an overly particular character. It would be bad if your words spread and people misunderstood."

Ji Mingjiang didn't let him go so easily. While walking forward beside Cliles, he picked the thorns in his words that may be intentional or he may not have thought of it.

Damn, what the hell is this guy coming from!

Bisna Ofir could not help frowning at the sound of this man's voice now, and this emotion reached a peak when he noticed Cliles' behavior.

The emperor, who had always been difficult to get along with and very xenophobic, not only did not stop people around him from talking past him again and again, but even turned his head and looked at him thoughtfully after the other party finished the second sentence!

Cliles happened to be near the gate at this time, and when he turned his head, it can be said that the emotions in those sharp golden pupils were clearly revealed in front of him.

Bisner lowered his eyelids and took a step back, "You're joking, I didn't mean that at all."

"There is no best."

Sensing Cliles' gaze flickering over his head, Bisna waited for a while, watched the two walk away, and then signaled the shivering attendant to close the door, and followed slowly.

Lichma Ofir had already consciously walked ahead to lead the way for Cliles and the two of them. When he reached the door of the reception room, he stopped suddenly, turned to look at Cliles and the man standing beside him.people.

The Old Housekeeper's eyes swept between the two of them several times without any trace, and finally settled on the young man who obviously covered half of his face but walked steadily all the way, but he was speaking to Cliles.

"If your Majesty is at ease, you can ask this gentleman to follow me to the next room and wait for a while. There are all tea and desserts there. It will not be too late to take him away after you finish talking with the Patriarch."

Inside and outside the words, he completely regarded Ji Mingjiang as a entourage brought by Cliles, and did not intend to consider Ji Mingjiang's own thoughts at all.

Even though according to Cliles' attitude, this mysterious person may have a higher status than his followers, but Zuo is still an accessory.

Thinking of this in his heart, when Li Qima said this, his tone was taken for granted. Although it looked like he was asking for Cliles's opinion, his attitude was very positive, and his toes were already pointing in the direction of Ji Mingjiang, ready toGo forward and take the person to the next room.

Then he was stopped in place by Cliles' outstretched arm.

"He's with me, can't you see?"

The three...to be precise, two groups of people suddenly stalemate in place.

Bisna Ofir, who just came over at this time, couldn't help but twitched his eyebrows when he heard this sentence, and looked suspiciously at the young man who couldn't see his face clearly.

He didn't even bring Rowlett with him, and when he came to talk to him alone, no matter how close the relationship was, he just let people in like this... Is it because Cliles is confused or is there something unique about the people he brought?where?

Several questions kept swirling in his mind, but Bisna Ofir didn't show anything on his face. He quickly stepped forward, reprimanded Li Qima severely, and then opened the meeting in front of him personally.The door of the living room.

"Li Qima is a little old and confused. Please don't argue with him, Your Majesty and this gentleman. Let's go in first."

Ji Mingjiang flicked the soft white velvet that almost floated to his eyelashes, and looked at the layout of the reception room with some curiosity. He really didn't care about Li Qima's attitude just now and Bisner's attitude since seeing him for the first time.Very disgusting eyes at a glance.

——After all, if there are no accidents, this should be the last time they can look at people with this attitude.

"The temperature in the room should be okay now, isn't this gentleman taking off his hat yet?"

I don't know what's going on with Cliles today, and he came to see him suddenly without any warning, but what he talked about was a common topic that the two of them would quarrel at the meeting every Monday morning.

Bisna Ofir had an intuition that the other party was definitely not simply talking about these things, but he really couldn't figure out his purpose. After adjusting his sitting posture a little uneasy, he changed the topic to the point where he hadn't spoken since he came in, as ifOn the young man who seemed to be dumb.

"Huh? Me?"

Ji Mingjiang, who had been cautiously spreading out his mental power to examine the furnishings of Ofir's mansion, raised his head and asked with a sleepy look.

A short part of the chin was exposed, and the lips alone would not reveal the owner's emotions. Bisna regretfully withdrew his gaze, and although he knew that the other party couldn't see it, he still nodded and said, "Yes., if you are afraid of the cold, I can ask someone to increase the temperature, if it makes you feel uncomfortable, it is really my fault, His Majesty Cliles will feel distressed."

"?"

The corners of Ji Mingjiang's eyes twitched.

What does this have to do with Cliles?I still feel distressed... When did his image in the eyes of you people match up with this word?

"It has nothing to do with physique, and you will know it when the time comes."

After replying perfunctorily, Ji Mingjiang pulled his hat again, leaned back on the chair back with his arms crossed.

Lowering his head, the mental power that had been cautiously stopped just now slowly continued to expand the detection area. The invisible mental thread shuttled synchronously on the ground and in the air, deftly avoiding the people walking back and forth.The gentle strength was just like a gust of wind blowing by, which did not arouse anyone's vigilance.

The conversation between Cliles and Bisna was still going on. Although he hadn't carefully understood what they were saying, Ji Mingjiang, who was very familiar with the tone of the other party, listened attentively and knew that this person was definitely serious.chatting nonsense.

He didn't let his mental power out for too long, and after sweeping through the huge Ofir mansion, Ji Mingjiang, who found nothing, withdrew his mental power, and the mental thread that could sense the master's emotions didn't show any reluctance this time.With a very sensible look, he withdrew into the spiritual sea.

Ji Mingjiang frowned slightly, his expression a little dignified.

Although he had indeed prepared himself mentally for the fact that he might not be able to detect anything, he still felt a little frustrated when things really happened.And the most important thing now is how to tell Cliles about this as soon as possible...

As he was thinking in his heart, the door of the reception room was suddenly pushed open, and a man whose coat and trousers were torn into strands, and there were some bloodstains on his exposed skin, his eyes were obvious when he saw Cliles.There was a flash of fear, but after a simple salute, he walked directly to Bisna Ofir with panic and anger on his face, leaned over and said something.

Ji Mingjiang's ears moved, and the tips of the ear fins hidden under the hood struggled to rush to the direction of the sound, and they shook in dissatisfaction when Ji Mingjiang raised his hand to pinch it.

"crazy……"

"Beating people, full of blood..."

The other party obviously still had some scruples in this panicked mood, and Ji Mingjiang listened calmly and only captured a few key words.

But that's enough.

In the case of Bisna Ofir's uncontrolled expression at that moment as supporting evidence.

Through the fluff in front of his eyes, Ji Mingjiang clearly saw the anger and fear that suddenly appeared on Bisna's face after hearing what the man said.

"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty. As you have seen, there is something going on at home. This servant has pissed off the original orc who was raised in the backyard. That little guy is losing his temper right now, and his life may be in danger. The situation is really urgent, and I need to go there first."Let's deal with it, do you think you are waiting here for a while or can we talk about it another day?"

Sure enough, the next moment Bisna stood up abruptly, with a proper apology on his face.The chair that was knocked back vigorously made a piercing sound in the empty reception room, and Ji Mingjiang couldn't help but squeeze it into a cover, and pressed the cloth tightly against his ears with the palm of his hand.

"Since it's related to the original orc, let's do it quickly. We can wait for a while. Do you need my help to make a call to the protection center?"

Cliles nodded and said very understandingly.

"No need to bother you, I'll check the situation first, there are still some professional doctors at home."

With a drop of cold sweat dripping from the forehead, Bisna managed to keep his composure, and quickly declined.

"Then I'll go there first. Someone will come to deliver some tea and meals later. Please bear with me if I'm neglectful."

After saying this, Bisna hastily followed the attendant who broke in and walked out.

The door of the reception room was closed again, and after looking around, Ji Mingjiang took off his hat, and the light blue ear fins that were exposed to the fresh air again wriggled happily among the silver hair.

Catching Cliles' constant glances at his ears, Ji Mingjiang quickly closed his opened mouth, loosened his hair a little, and covered the overly lively ear fins under layers of hair.

Afterwards, he told all the situations that his mental power had detected just now.

"It's expected, so don't worry too much about it." After simply comforting the mermaid who didn't seem to need comfort, Layton looked at the place where Bisna was sitting just now, and said in a relaxed tone, "Someone just happened to show us the way.Just follow him."

Although they said so, considering Bisna Ofir's words just now, the two of them are still sitting in their seats safely and have not left rashly.

Not a moment later, the heavy door was knocked lightly, and then pushed open cautiously by a hand.

"Your Majesty, this is the refreshment ordered by the Patriarch for the two of you, please enjoy it."

The visitor bowed his head respectfully, stepped forward in small steps, and put the dinner plate in his hand on the table. His footsteps were light and silent throughout the whole process, and his lowered head was never raised from the beginning to the end.

"That's all?"

After putting down the tray, the attendant who stood with his hands down and waited for the next instruction did not hear Cliles' familiar voice, but a clear and pleasant voice.

His eyes were blurred for a moment, and he suddenly wanted to raise his head to see the appearance of the person who could have such a voice.

But soon, the training rooted in his brain made him suppress this impulse, and after only a slight movement in the direction of Cliles and Ji Mingjiang, a somewhat hoarse voice came from the attendant's mouth because his head was down.outgoing.

"The Patriarch left in a hurry, and that's all he has to say, but if you two need it, I can help you get some more."

"Well... I mean, will anyone else come to deliver things besides you?"

The voice suddenly moved away, and the attendant only had time to see a strand of silver-white hair.

It's so soft... It looks like it's being touched, his pupils trembled, and then he quickly lowered his eyelids, "No more, if you two need..."

"Great!" ?

What's too good?

He was a little dazed by the sudden raised tone and the obviously joyful tone in his ears.

"Although, I'm sorry, but maybe it's a good thing for you, you can sleep here now."

What?

When the attendant heard this sentence, although he still didn't know what the other party meant, the alarm bells in his mind were already ringing.But before he could react, Ji Mingjiang's relaxed and joyful voice fell, and the palm of his hand formed a knife and slashed precisely at the neck of the attendant who suddenly raised his head and looked at him.

"Why do you..." It seems to be the mermaid that was broadcast live recently?

The fully exposed face because the hood was not on was reflected in the eyes of the servant who was slowly falling to the ground. Before he passed out, he still hadn't figured out why he was suddenly attacked, and how the mermaid became a servant enshrined by Patriarch Bisna.If the guest of honor.

Maybe he also knew it in his heart, but the idea of being happy to see this happen was in fierce conflict with the idea of being loyal to the family that had been instilled all along, which made him cover himself up like an ostrich.

It's not the first time that he has come into contact with someone who saw his appearance clearly, and Ji Mingjiang easily decoded his unfinished meaning.

"Probably because I was the mermaid you knew."

Shrugging his shoulders, his soft hair slid down the same silky fabric, Ji Mingjiang grabbed the arm of the man who was about to fall to the ground in time, and gently leaned him against the soft chair beside him.

The face that was no longer hidden by the owner after losing consciousness was also exposed in front of Cliles and Ji Mingjiang.

Looking at the face that looked more immature under the bright light, Ji Mingjiang clicked his tongue, no wonder he felt wrong when he heard the voice just now, if it wasn't too baby-faced...

"Why do you still employ child labor?!"

He turned to look at Cliles and questioned.

A few days ago, Lin Nan and Zhuang Zhiye swore to him that basically only one person in the empire could go to college.

However, the expression on Cliles' face was not good-looking either. He raised and lowered his wrist, as if he planned to take a picture of the attendant, but gave up in the end.

Facing Ji Mingjiang's suspicious eyes, Layton turned the optical brain on his wrist, and said helplessly: "This should not be a serious recruitment. Among the servants in noble families like them, there is some kind of domestic servant.It’s perfectly normal for them to exist. And if it’s in a clean family, it’s okay, there are definitely a lot of secrets like the Ofir family. Because they know too much, they can’t freely choose to go to school and workIt shouldn't be uncommon."

"Let him stay here for a while, and after the matter in the basement is settled, it's just a matter of time to deal with this situation."

After looking at the time, Layton said.

They couldn't wait any longer. If they continued to wait, Bisna Ofir might have to turn back the same way.

Ji Mingjiang nodded, and took one last look at the kid who was knocked out but had a much more relaxed expression on his face, then turned around and followed Cliles' footsteps.

I don't know whether it was Bisna Ofer's confession or others were afraid of Cliles' identity. Except for the attendant who came to deliver refreshments, there was no one else guarding the reception room.

After closing the door without making a sound, Ji Mingjiang re-released his mental threads that hadn't rested for a long time, and followed Bisna Ofir with a very clear goal.

"The road is quite winding, let's go."

This level of investigation is simply no burden for Ji Mingjiang, he said with disgust after opening his eyes again.

Don't blame him, who made Bisna Ofir's circling course of action really remind him of a mouse that made countless tunnels underground.

The mouse in the gutter, not to mention, fit the opponent's image quite well.

"Why is his animalization direction not a mouse..."

I don't know why Ji Mingjiang suddenly muttered this, Layton broke off a flower branch in a flowerpot by the corridor, smashed the camera in front of him, and then gave Ji Mingjiang a backhand.

"There's someone up ahead."

Almost being pulled directly onto Cliles' back, Ji Mingjiang barely stopped and heard the other party's light words.

The ears moved, and there were a few scattered and mixed footsteps, which were also mixed with some tinkling sounds.

"Four or five people should just pass by with things."

It's a pity that they have no place to hide temporarily, and the two groups of people are bound to collide.

"Put them in that room later?" Ji Mingjiang looked around, noticed a room diagonally opposite, pointed in that direction with his fingertips, and asked softly.

"Yes." Layton nodded without any objection.

So, the five attendants who were just carrying their plates and walking along a fixed route suddenly saw the somewhat familiar faces of Cliles and Ji Mingjiang who were supposed to be in the reception room.

Before they realized that something was wrong, the person in front of them suddenly disappeared from them, and the speed was so fast that people couldn't help wondering if they were dazzled.

Just as they looked at each other and were about to say something, they suddenly felt a pain in their necks, and then their eyes went dark, and they lost consciousness. The silver tray and other items in their hands were about to fall to the ground, and Ji Mingjiang quickly covered them with his coat.stand up.

After silently placing these unlucky passers-by in the small room, Ji Mingjiang closed the door and continued to lead Cliles to the direction traced by the spiritual force.
