"What you need to do is very simple..." Catherine's eyes narrowed and she said seriously, "As the master of Lin Shuyao, punish the murderer severely!"
"Wei Qinghai?" Chen Xing spread his hands and asked, "A baron, why?"
"We have discussed this issue many times, and you..." Catherine paused, staring into Chen Xing's eyes, "you are the most suitable candidate so far."
Catherine explained that Wei Qinghai had been causing harm to the Maid Academy for a long time, making people in the academy panic. And the people above were not interested in taking care of things. A demon princess appeared on the other side of the river, and the old king and the third prince and concubine were fighting openly and secretly. Undercurrents were surging everywhere, and everyone was busy dividing the camps. If the trouble continues like this, the college will not be able to run.
"You are at the guard level, and so is Wei Qinghai. You can challenge him to a duel in the name of the victim and beat him severely!" Catherine said loudly.
"Let's not talk about whether I can beat him or not. What if he refuses?" Chen Xing asked.
"You must be able to beat him. He is a loser who only relied on drugs. You are a mercenary who climbed up from below. You are much stronger than these playboys." Catherine said.
"Thank you for looking up to me so much." Chen Xing held his fists in his hands and said in a nonchalant manner.
"The night after tomorrow, there will be a dance at Lord Edwin Huslett's winery, and Wei Qinghai will be invited to attend. You scolded him at the dance and challenged him. In full view of the public, he did it for the sake of Silver Claw's face. , can’t refuse you.”
Catherine walked behind the desk, opened the drawer, took out a golden bullet, and said bitterly, "This is the latest spirit-breaking bullet developed by the Holy Light Church. If it hits his chest, even if he can be saved, the spirit pool will also be destroyed." Broken, become a useless person.”
"From now on, I will become Marquis Haitang's mortal enemy, so what will I get?" Chen Xing asked.
"You will gain the friendship of most of the decent aristocratic circles in Ice Blue City, and..." Catherine looked at the sky outside the window, as if sighing, "Peace in the soul."
Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought for a long time. There was silence in the dean's office, no one disturbed him.
This is a very difficult decision and cannot be made on impulse. In addition to himself, there are also Ye Yang Bailiu, Su Na, and the brothers who follow him.
"Leave me alone for a while." Chen Xing said.
"Okay." Catherine left with the receptionist, but Jian Yue Canglian stood behind him like a javelin.
"You..." Chen Xing looked at the tall, cold girl, his tone hesitant.
"If the master wants to perform a dedication ceremony here, I have no objection." Jian Yue Canglian said expressionlessly.
"Uh..." Chen Xing choked and ignored her, continuing his thinking.
Using a marquis's anger in exchange for tickets to the so-called decent aristocratic circle seems to be a bit more gain than loss. One is clear, the other is unclear. Of course, the Moon-Seeing Canglian in front of me is clear, but this is not a sufficient reason.
Perhaps, peace of mind is the real reason...
In order to convince himself, he scanned Jian Yue Canglian's information.

…
It is a quasi-defensive-level template with relatively average attributes. As long as you are willing to pile up money, it should not be a problem to reach a high-level defensive level.
His figure, appearance, and ability are all outstanding. It seems that the college has spent a lot of money to vent this bad temper. But even so, Chen Xing still felt that the price was too high. When the impulse wore off, he had to consider the cost.
However, the soft girl's voice and smile seemed to be right in front of her eyes, and she couldn't get rid of them.
He has been a man for three generations, but he has never been so hesitant. One side is faith and dignity, the other side is interests and future, which one is the most important. He really wanted to flip a coin and let God tell him the answer.
He pondered for hours, trying to take in all the stakes and possibilities. He found that no matter which aspect the deduction was conducted to the end, it would all lead to the word "suffering".
Maybe this is the only way out...
He rubbed his brows. He couldn't help but feel drowsy due to mental exertion, so he leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep...
After a long time, a burst of music mixed with electric noise came.
"Walkers in the desert, the weeping sky. Smoke fills the fingertips, guns roar in the ears. I am a heavy metal chariot, an existence that crushes everything. The wheels crush bones, flesh and blood splash everywhere, I am on the way to the battlefield... "
The sound of music seemed to be in my ears, faintly visible. He slowly opened his eyes, and the world was hazy, like a black mist.
"The burning mecha, the bleeding earth. Soot is scattered at the fingertips, and the wailing echoes in the ears. I am a heavy metal chariot, an existence that crushes everything. The wheels crush steel, black oil splashes everywhere, I am on the road to hell... …”
The sound is distant and near, erratic.
"The cruelty of the seraphs, the roar of the demons of the abyss, the blood dripping on the fingertips, and the hymn playing in the ears. I am a heavy metal chariot, an existence that crushes everything, the wheels crush the wings, and the blood splashes everywhere, I am On the road to heaven..."
A fire started to burn in the center of the black mist, and the surrounding scene gradually became clearer.
In front of him was an old round wooden table, with a half-eaten steak on it and a half glass of low-quality ale.
It seems that noisy voices can be heard. From the corner of his eye, he could see hazy figures swaying in the flickering firelight, chatting, dining, or making noise.
"Friends, the queen of heavy metal rock and roll, Ms. Ouyang Tianhua's v16 heavy metal tank has been on demand on the road. Here is the news time..."
An announcement came from the old-fashioned radio on the bar, and the small green light went off and lit up in rhythm with the sound.
"The current time is 7:30 pm on September 5, 2618, dr. The announcer of Wilderness Radio will announce it for you."
"At four o'clock this afternoon, the demon princess Aaliya led the coalition forces of Black Feather and Chiyan to break through the Silver Eagle Territory. Marquis Haitang and his eldest son Wei Qingshan were executed on the spot. The Wei family, which had ruled the Silver Claw Principality for 134 years, officially Declare destruction..."
Memory recall?
When he thought of this, the dream world was shattered, Chen Xing woke up, and then fell into deep thought.
Judging from the previous situation, memory recall will not be triggered for no reason. So, what does this dream reveal to him?
He vaguely remembered that the Principality of Silver Claw was not on the list of the Northern Alliance. In other words, Marquis Haitang resisted until the end and did not compromise with Aaliyah. The reason may be due to stubbornness, or it may be that Duke Black Feather is causing trouble, but no matter what, in the history of the previous life, the Wei family perished.
Because he changed the course of history, Aaliyah was promoted to king level ahead of schedule and is now in the Red Dragon Principality. In other words, even if Wei Haitang was given a hundred courages, he would not dare to go to the Red Dragon Principality to cause trouble for him.
As for Ice Blue City, for the sake of the royal family's face, even if he killed Wei Qinghai, Wei Haitang would not be able to take action against him.
Chen Xing's eyes lit up. You can do this! He clenched his fists subconsciously.
"Master, have you made a decision?"
A cool and pleasant voice came from behind.
Chen Xing stood up and said in a deep and powerful voice, "Go and tell the dean that everything is going according to plan."
"As you command, my master." Jian Yue Canglian bowed and saluted, then looked straight at him without taking any action. His pupils were watery and sparkling.
Chen Xing was heartbroken by her sight, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
"When will we hold the dedication ceremony?" Jian Yue Canglian asked expressionlessly, without any emotion in his eyes, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.
"Uh..." Chen Xing didn't expect that the other party was more anxious than him. He was choked on the spot. It took him a while to react, waved his hands and said, "Let's wait until things are done. I'm not in the mood now."
"If you don't conclude a contract, how can you guarantee my loyalty?" Jian Yue Canglian asked.
"That's right..." Chen Xing opened his sleeves, operated a few times on the black watch, and asked Jian Yue Canglian to sign the contract document. A line of tiny green characters floated up.
[A request to conclude a contract has been sent to Humms6002189739821]
"After the ceremony." Chen Xing added.
Jian Yue Cang Lian gave him a meaningful look and lowered her head to operate her black watch.
[Jianyue Canglian agrees to your request]
[The contract is concluded successfully, and one "Palace Maid Contract Document" is consumed]
[Jianyue Canglian has become your exclusive maid]
[You get the first palace maid, and the "Palace Maid" interface opens. You can issue coercive orders to the maid in this interface. Disobeying orders is a felony]
"Master, let's elope!"
After concluding the contract, Jian Yue Cang Lian raised her head and said something shocking.
"What?" Chen Xing didn't react for a moment.
"Ensuring the safety of the master is the most important duty of a maid. Dean Catherine's request will put the master in danger, so..." Jian Yue Canglian paused and said seriously, "I suggest that the master goes against his word and ignores Catherine. Dean’s request.”
"This, this is not good..." Chen Xing's thoughts have not yet turned around. It’s really shocking that the original owner’s bridge was demolished right after they came here.
"You don't need to feel guilty about this. A woman of humble origin is not worth your life, and since ancient times, nobles have not taken honesty and trustworthiness as their responsibility." Jian Yue Canglian said.
Chen Xing gradually recovered, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, that bitch is no match for me." He had a trio with him, and it would not be difficult to deal with opponents at the same level.
"Although you are of equal strength and are both guard-level, Wei Qinghai is the third prince of Silver Claw Principality, and he must have a lot of equipment and props that ordinary people don't have. From this, we can judge that your chances of winning are not good." Jian Yue Canglian analyzed road.
"I don't want to break my promise." Chen Xing turned his back and said. His meaning is very clear. He has made a decision and hopes that the other party will stop trying to persuade him. Since Marquis Haitang cannot retaliate, he must vent his anger.
He is not a villain who will seek revenge, but that doesn't mean he has no temper.
"Understood." Jian Yue Canglian nodded and said, and then made another suggestion, "Since there is no way to avoid fighting, we should use the excuse of facing the enemy to make more demands on the academy."
Chen Xing is a smart man, how could he not understand that the intention was to let him rip off Catherine more.
"Well, that's well said!" Chen Xing nodded in praise, then gave a thumbs up, "Jian Yue Cang Lian, you are indeed outstanding."
"Master, thank you." Jian Yue Canglian bowed and said, "Protecting the interests of the master is the basic code of conduct for a maid, and this is what I should do."
Later, Chen Xing asked her to go out and invite Catherine in, preparing to make a big deal.
