Chapter 223

The question that just popped out of his mouth was immediately interrupted.

When Xino looked again, her master had already stood up and left her.

He said in a cold voice: "Who told you that you must keep lying? Xino, have I let you have fun for too long recently, and you are a little complacent?"

"Are you questioning my decision?"

All instincts in his body immediately made Xino lie on the ground!

Not even daring to raise her head to look at her master!

"Don't treat that man as a fool, and don't forget: the little princess is on his side."

"and……"

The words were prolonged, and Xino realized that the master's joy tonight was not to praise her!

Even, she was not satisfied with her previous actions!

"Xino, have you completed the task I gave you?"

"Did you get him? Did you let him listen to you? He has been rejecting you from the beginning to the end. If the girl Sylphy hadn't appeared, this plan would have been shelved because of you."

"A dog that pees everywhere will think that it is marking a new territory for its owner. Are you... are you complacent?"

Everything changes in an instant!

Xino, who was so proud a second ago, is now completely blank.

He could only stare blankly at the master in front of him and give her orders.

"Contacting with ulterior motives will only make you look suspicious. It just so happens that the academy needs to give him a "surprise" recently. For this surprise, it's you. "

"Calm down and contact him, and... don't run to me too often recently. Alicia has noticed your whereabouts. If she discovers that your words and deeds are inconsistent..."

After a pause, a cold voice followed the cold gaze that seemed to suck away a person's soul.

"You understand, Xino."

Let Xino not refute, even

He didn't even have the energy to nod.

The master ordered her not to come into contact with the trash fish for any purpose, which was the next task.

But, isn't this just like she really likes that bastard fish! ?

She doesn’t want this kind of thing! She is obviously playing with this miscellaneous fish! ? To deal with a bastard like Jupiter, it's enough to just keep lying! ? How could it be exposed?

However, when Xino finally gathered some courage and thought about "begging for mercy" from his master again, he changed his order...

In sight...

She was already outside the master's magic tower!

She wasn't even given a chance to act coquettishly!

no no no! She didn't want to approach Jupiter like this! ?

That person is just a pig head and a fool! She obviously thought it was fun to deceive such an idiot, she was so happy before!

But, doesn't it really look like she was "persuaded" and "fell" by a bastard now? ?

She is her master's pet, a member of the noble Lucalia Academy!

She doesn't want to look like a stupid woman in love!

the other side.

Jupiter didn't know what was happening in the academy, and he had no intention of paying attention.

Because the Duke of Blacks's residence was very lively tonight. Not only the vassal nobles of the Blacks family were almost here, but also the royal nobles in the royal city who were friendly with Blacks were also here.

Recently: [The eldest prince Phoenix and Duke Blacks are very close] This news spread very intensively among the nobles in the imperial city. Even in the social circle of ladies, the duchess did not deliberately refute anything...

In an instant, the rumors spread a lot.

What this kind of news means depends on how the nobles of the Britalia Empire weigh it.

Thanks to this, some people originally had different positions and circumstances. The nobles and nobles who usually treated Duke Blacks with "courteous courtesy" also came tonight.

The attitude expressed couldn't be more obvious: Don't hit the smiling person with your hand. When you come, you are showing goodwill and not holding a hostile attitude.

After all: discerning people among the nobles in the royal city have sensed the change in the "wind direction". Even some veterans have vaguely guessed that the eldest prince Felix and the Duke of Blacks are getting close.

How to get closer.

Come closer, and for what purpose.

After all, the imperial royal family, especially the royal family in the eldest prince Felix's team... just those few girls.

Tonight, it's a party hosted by the Blacks family.

Normally, Jupiter would just be responsible for keeping Sylphy in check and mediating some of the situation.

However: Tonight, he didn't even care about how Sylphy dressed up or appeared.

Because: Duke Blacks had prepared for tonight, and the theme was that he "passed the Lucalia Academy promotion mission."

In other words...he is the "protagonist" tonight.

From the moment he appeared, he was surrounded by a group of nobles from the royal city who had their own agendas.

After congratulating him, they began to make their own plans, and even asked questions such as "Do you have the idea of ​​​​marrying a concubine?"

Good guy, by default he already has a fiancée, right? ?

The chattering questions made Jupiter's head almost explode, but he had to work hard to deal with it with an awkward yet polite smile - after all, the people who could approach him and surround him to ask questions were in the imperial city. His status or real power is not much worse than that of Duke Blacks.

Jupiter now understands why Sylphy actually hates this kind of social occasion.

Successful promotion can indeed be celebrated a little.

After all, unlike those who have just entered the academy, or those who have just been "determined" in Lukalia Academy, those who can meet the promotion standards and complete the promotion tasks must be powerful and have potential.

There are too many people in and outside the empire who have been in the same class for their entire lives, and some even fall back.

But Jupiter thinks that a family gathering-level celebration is enough.

But the Duke opened champagne at halftime. If he remembered correctly, when he only had the last adventurer's commission left, the Duke and his wife had already released the news and made arrangements.

They really thought he would not "turn over".

Jupiter was scared to death.

Moreover: this is only the third level to the fourth level!

What if he becomes stronger in the future and moves up... will the Duke and his wife roll out the red carpet for him in the entire royal city?

The fragrance of the sky penetrates Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with red carpets, right

! ?

This is a good thing to do, Duke. If Sylphy is not stable, we will all be confiscated!

That's the reason.

Indeed, the upgrade from level 3 to level 4 is not a "earth-shattering" or "world's first upgrade".

Then, why did Duke Blacks mobilize so many troops? What did he want to express? Is there any hint?

This may be the real purpose of the Duke and Duchess tonight.

But Jupiter was exhausted at this moment and was too lazy to think about it.

After finally dealing with another wave of noble lords and noble ladies who came to find him, he took the cup of water handed by the head maid and drank some water.

Then he found that the Duke and Duchess were happily communicating with others not far away!

"Lord Duke Blacks, that means: it's almost done?"

"No comment. Didn't your eldest son also enter Lukalia College? Let him observe more in the college and tell you when he gets back. I can't tell you because of some circumstances."

Duke Blacks explained this and looked at the vassal sent by the eldest prince Phoenix not far away - Phoenix was busy with official business tonight and couldn't come.

That being said, how many "underground tricks" there are depends on one's level of understanding.

The noble ladies' communication is more straightforward.

"Madam, when will they make an official announcement?"

The Duchess waved her feather fan, looking proud: "Don't worry, after all, it's too popular, and I don't know how to choose."

As she said this, the Duchess gestured with her hand beside her ear - stretched it out, as if hinting at something.

"Besides, the eldest prince is also a little shy. Alas - young people nowadays are really worrying."

Jupiter really couldn't stand this group of riddlers.

He seemed to understand, but his reason refused to let him think too much.

He hurriedly greeted the head maid, so as not to deal with the siege of a large group of nobles.

Disperse the "firepower" first.

After all, on the other side, his villain Miss Sylphie was with the little princess Alicia who was also present today!

The two of them were emitting a "gunpowder smell" at the moment, so that the young people nearby, who were all children of nobles, dared not approach and could only watch from afar.

"Why are you here?"

Sylphie stared at Alicia with eyes that were about to spit fire!

There was no time to bother Jupiter.

"What does my family's party, the celebration for the pig head in my family, have to do with you?"

"Really... But, your father invited me."

The little princess Alicia responded indifferently, speaking coldly. However, her well-controlled, non-scattered ice magic was quietly telling her that she was very calm now.

With her white hair tied up and a black evening dress, Alicia actually looks like a mature "feminine" charm.

Compared with Sylphy, who is wearing a white dress and looks more dazzling than a fairy descending from the sun, they are two extremes.

"Tsk... that old fool. You come when he asks you to? Then will you leave when I ask you to?!"

"My brother asked me to stay until the end."

The gunpowder barrel... exploded all of a sudden.

Sylphy's sight was as accurate as a cruise missile towards Jupiter!

Jupiter was so scared that he hurriedly quickened his pace and slipped away - if he was pulled between the two women by Sylphy in this situation...

The scene would be too incredible at that time.

Turning around, Jupiter ran very fast!

He left the party scene set up in the Duke's Mansion and slipped towards the "back door" of the Duke's Mansion where no one would go in and out now.

His head seemed to be buzzing until now, so Jupiter thought: at least let him be quiet first, and wait until the celebration party at the Duke's house tonight is almost over, then he will go back.

Jupiter yawned as he thought about this, planning to take a walk on the tree-lined path at the back door of the Duke's Mansion...

The next moment, he saw a sneaky, yet extremely familiar figure!

The surprise made him even doubt: Was he confused tonight, causing some illusions in his eyes!

Because: his eyes were cast.

I saw a girl who seemed to have suffered a great blow. She was listless and lost outside the back gate of the Duke's Mansion, walking back and forth with her head down.

She didn't even notice his presence.

However, her long silver hair, furry fox ears and tail were enough to prove her identity.

It was Xino, the president of the Star Moon Society!

Although the lights on the road were a little dim, Jupiter couldn't be mistaken for the shawl and school uniform of the Star Moon Society members!

How could it be anyone else! ?
