Blood Princess and the Knight

"Have a drink of tea, young master." After sitting in the inner room for a while, two cups of steaming fragrant tea were placed on the table.

Soft lighting fills the old-looking room, the cracked white plaster on the walls, and the discolored furniture reveal that this room has been used for a long time.

The style is very common, the room is not big, with three bedrooms and one living room, it is more than enough for just one person.

Ji Bai held the tea cup and roughly looked at the structure of the room.

"It's been a long time, young master. It's been six years since we last said goodbye." As if he had finished his work, the shepherd found a stool and sat down, sighing with a complicated expression.

"Six years, seven months and thirteen days." Ji Bai added in detail.

"Young Master, you remember it so clearly. This may be unforgettable for you." The shepherd sighed and spoke again, as if he felt that as a servant he shouldn't make any more comments.

"Uncle Mu, I am no longer the eldest young master, just call me Ji Bai." Ji Bai paused. "After all these years, are you still working under the Ji family?

"I retired half a year ago. I'm getting older. As an old man, I'm no longer good at work. There's no point in staying there anymore. I'm thinking that after I make enough money, I'll find a place to spend my old age away from big cities." The shepherd sipped. He took a sip of tea, and the hot tea restored some of his color.

"You can't hide the hidden diseases that young people suffer from. As people get older, their bodies will contract these diseases, big and small. They are all caused by carelessness when they were young. "

"Pay more attention to your diet. Sleep therapy is more important than diet therapy. Health preservation is not just a simple matter of daily routine, but also requires attention to many details." Ji Bai warned.

"Haha, thank you for your concern, young master. Thanks to the hard work in my youth, my body is still strong and I will have no problem holding on for more than ten years." The shepherd was stunned for a moment, then smiled warmly.

"Have I changed?" Ji Bai silently pointed at himself and shook his head in confusion.

"Yes, you didn't know how to express your emotions before. You kept a lot of things in your heart, causing others to misunderstand what you wanted to express. It was even harder to express your concern for others. Now you are much more considerate than before. , Hahahaha." The shepherd said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"How have you been in Ji's family these past few years? No one is making things difficult for you." Ji Bai didn't seem to intend to continue on this topic.

"No, the second lady takes good care of me, and the servants get along well with each other. No one has trouble with me, an old man. It's just that" the shepherd said hesitantly.

"By the way, young master, how have you been in the past few years? Officially certified, you have been killed on the battlefield. Uncle Mu's ability to change the topic is really a bit stiff. Ji Bai didn't intend to point it out and just went on with the conversation.

“I was lucky enough to survive, but I have no plans to go back.

"Whether it's like this or free time, living under the public eye may not be a good thing." The shepherd murmured as if talking to himself.

"Young Master, please forgive me for asking this question.

"I'm no longer a young master. If the shepherd has anything to say, I can ask him whatever he wants. It doesn't matter.

"Those things that happened back then were not done subjectively by you.

Ji Bai rarely remained silent in response to Uncle Mu's question.

"Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. I believe you must have your own secrets." Seeing Ji Bai's silence, the shepherd hurriedly waved his hand.

"What is Uncle Mu thinking?" Ji Bai asked nonchalantly.

"I-I want to believe that this was not done by you, young master. You are not that kind of person." The shepherd sighed lightly.

The meaning of the words is very clear. I am willing to believe it, but I don’t completely believe it.

Ji Bai nodded.

A gentle and kind-hearted person like Madam treats all inferior servants as relatives. How could such a kind-hearted woman make false accusations?

If it were him, he wouldn't believe it either.

When I was kicked out of my house, I guess many people were enjoying themselves secretly, secretly shouting that they were very happy.

As an adopted son, hurting his kind and kind adoptive mother would be scolded by people with spine-tingling spines. Fortunately, this matter has not been spread. Maybe they are thinking about their old relationship.

"The past is like wind, and now it has passed. No matter what the truth was at the beginning, you are a hero of mankind, young master. You have devoted almost your whole life to mankind. Just treat it as a mistake you made when you were young and ignorant. You shouldn't be discredited and denied your whole life just because of a single mistake you made when you were young." The shepherd smiled kindly and raised his teacup as if relieved.

t2 "As an outsider, maybe I am not qualified to say anything. I just want to talk about my own point of view. If what happened was really that the young master was confused for a moment, he should not escape, stand up and admit his mistakes, and tell them An apology is a real manly doctor, and if there really was something hidden behind what happened, young master, you will never be forgiven if you hold it in like this, whether it is the second lady or yourself." Mu Bo said this sincerely. After saying this, he quietly glanced at Ji Bai who remained silent.

"Yeah." Ji Bai responded dullly, not sure whether he heard it or not.

"How has she been doing these past few years?"

"Second Miss?" The shepherd sighed deeply as if he had thought of something. "Young Master

If you want to hear the truth, Lao Mu, I can tell you that it is very bad.

"Second Miss seems to have changed since you left. It doesn't mean that her behavior has changed. In short, her whole temperament is completely different from before.

It’s different. Grandpa’s education to the young lady has become more and more severe, and the expression on the young lady’s face has become colder and colder. Speaking of which, it seems that I haven’t seen the young lady smile in these years. "When the shepherd uncle said this, he looked a little distressed.

The changes that have taken place in these two children are best understood by the shepherd who has watched them grow up.

"Isn't she used to coming here?" Ji Bai was silent for a long time before he said something.

"The expression that Miss Wu has on her face all day gradually becomes terrifying, like a puppet who can't get angry, angry, or hurt, and is at the mercy of others. Her emotionless voice makes people wonder if she is still alive. "" The shepherd caressed his chest as if he felt it deeply. "I think Miss, she must still be worried about what happened at the beginning. To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell, young master."

"How can I help?" Ji Bai shook his head. "After all, I am not a member of their family. I am just an irrelevant outsider like you. Who have the right to interfere in their family affairs?

Brother, she is going to get engaged soon, and someone will continue to take care of her on my behalf.

"Young Master, do you think so?" The shepherd shook his head. "Do you really think such a young lady is happy?

Do you understand what I said?’

With that said, the shepherd took out an invitation card from the drawer and threw it on the table.

"Although this banquet is only to confirm the fiancé's relationship, many high-level officials from the temple will come to witness the honor. I have worked in the Ji family for almost ten years, and I am barely qualified. This is the invitation my grandpa distributed to me before I quit my job. Letters are also popular for banquets

At this point, Ji Bai would be an out-and-out idiot if he still didn't understand what Uncle Mu meant.

He looked at the invitation letter lying quietly on the table and remained silent.

"If you need it, just take it." Uncle Mu placed the invitation letter in front of Ji Bai.

I have no use for this. "Ji Bai hesitated for a moment and then refused.

"The last thing she needs is my help, it will only cause trouble for her.

"Really?" The shepherd smiled bitterly and did not force it. "Looking at you two children growing up, I don't know whether it's right or wrong for the two best friends to have such a quarrel now."

"Even if you don't plan to go, you'd better accept this invitation as a thought. The brother-sister relationship you have been relying on for more than ten years will never be false. Taking my sister's engagement invitation is considered as - It’s a result.” The shepherd handed over the invitation.

Ji Bai hesitated for a moment, as if struggling, and finally pocketed the invitation.

"Young Master, are you really not going to take care of the young lady anymore?" The shepherd who was putting away the tea set said to the departing figure.

He paused and nodded. "It's not me she needs.

After returning to the barrier and opening the door to his room, Ji Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Only when you return here can your emotions be temporarily liberated.

"You look worried." A cold voice came from the living room.

Ji Bai looked around and saw that a certain eldest lady was sitting naked on her sofa, her head lightly supported by her palms, and her smooth gray-silver hair slipped through her fingers.

"You haven't left yet?" Ji Bai frowned lightly.

"Await your return.

Iron helmets and armor on life-size stands.

Make that clear. " Turning a deaf ear to Ji Bai's ridicule, Lin went straight to the point.

"Are you still upset? Ji Bai, who was packing the armor rack, raised his eyebrows. "There's nothing to say. It's all just to trick you. It's true that she and I know each other, but they have nothing to do with each other and have nothing to do with each other. If I don’t like her, she probably doesn’t like me either.

"That's right." Lin was doubtful.

"Believe it or not, I have no obligation to explain to you. Anyway, I have no feelings for her." Ji Bai searched for a long time, but didn't seem to find what he was looking for, so he gave up the search.

"Miss, if you don't want to stay in the cockroach nest anymore, let's go. I'm a little tired too. I won't accompany you when I go back to rest." Before Lin could answer, Ji Bai gave up searching and walked towards his room.

"Have you let it go?" Lin's abrupt words stopped Ji Bai from closing the door.

"It's nothing, I just feel like you're avoiding a very important decision. Just asking by the way." Lin seemed like she couldn't explain herself. She smoothed her hair and thought.

"I can understand that you care about me?"

"Don't you know how much trouble Mr. Cockroach's self-love will cause to others?" Lin raised her eyebrows.

If only I were really just a single-celled organism.

She was shocked. Ji Bai rarely quarreled with her, but said a philosophical sentence that he could not understand.

"So, you have obviously been fired and retired, why do you work so hard to meddle in other people's business? Charities also have financial assistance, okay?" Ji Bai said to himself.

Why do I worry so much when I feel ashamed? Why not just be a happy and brainless rice insect?

Sure enough, I really can't let it go.

He walked out of the room, picked up the iron helmet thrown aside, and went straight to the door.

"Remember to close the door when you go out.

Bang!" After giving instructions, the door was slammed shut.

"Come on, it's your turn, Lao Wang, hurry up and play your cards. If you can defeat me, Lin Tuo, with this hand of cards, I will eat this table in front of you!"

"Old Lin, look, we don't want your money anymore. Just give us a show today - eat a wooden table alive. After all, we are not demons."

-Time is speechless.

At this moment, the table was suspended in the air and was lifted up by someone.

"Holy crap! When did you show up? What are you going to do? I've repaired the sword and returned it to you." Lin Tuo looked at Ji Bai who was holding up the table with an alert look on his face, making sure that he didn't have that evil sword on him. After using the black sword, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't you want to eat from the table?" Ji Bai tilted his head. “ I thought I might be able to help.

"Go away, go away, who wants your help?

"You don't come to the Three Treasures Hall unless you have anything to do. Didn't I tell you not to come to me if you have nothing to do, and don't come to me if you have something to do?" Looking at the armored man in front of him who looked like a bastard, Lin Tuo felt like he had a splitting headache.

"No one can help me except you."

Lin Tuo suppressed his blush, and finally sighed.

"Tell me what's going on.'

"I'd like to borrow a small set of armor."

Are you going to cause trouble again?" Lin Tuo's face showed that he was used to it, and he was completely immune to Ji Bai's strange request. "How small.

"Height, about one and a half meters."

"Fully enclosed?

"Yes

Lin Tuo was silent.

"No?039

“Yes, there are, but there are no fully enclosed ones, but this is not a big problem and can be modified on site.

“There is one more condition.

"I knew your boy's request wouldn't be so simple.

"Engraved Light Weight Enchantment

"You kid, are you being too whimsical? There must be a limit to joking.

Do you think enchanted armor is just cabbage on the ground? ? And even if there is one, how much do you plan to spend to rent it? ?" Lin Tuo's face turned completely dark.

"That's all. Zuo Jibai threw all the bits and pieces on the table. Well, in total, I can barely eat a few bowls of vegetarian noodles.
