In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Xing and Jian Yue Canglian, who had slept in the auditorium for most of the day, took a bath in the public shower room and went to the back garden for an appointment to have afternoon tea.
“On behalf of all the teachers at Ice Lake Maid Academy, we would like to thank you for your dedication and help.”
At the tea table, Dean Catherine and a group of teachers bowed to Chen Xing. The cyan demon lingering over the college finally dispersed. After the rain, the sky cleared up and a rainbow hung in the sky.
"Your heroic appearance on the ring will become a part of the academy's memory, passed down through the ages, and will be admired and loved by the students."
Two teachers were carrying a large oil painting, which was a portrait of Chen Xing riding a white wolf and pointing his sword at the twelve knights of the Round Table.
Looking at himself in the portrait, Chen Xing couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Once upon a time, he, a little man who had lived through three generations, could also leave his own footprints in the long river of history. Even if he returns to the earth and lies in a coffin, he will still be remembered by people.
He couldn't help but think of the saying that was once popular on the Internet: Don't be obsessed with brother, brother is just a legend. Brother has already left the world, but his story is still circulating in the world.
Full of narcissism...
He is proud of this honor. In any case, he did risk his life to do a good thing. Even if he uses all his tricks, if Triris hesitates for just a few seconds, he will be dead. It is estimated that like the previous life, he will be photographed into meat sauce.
Afterwards, the teachers took the oil painting away and said they wanted to hang it in the auditorium. For some reason, Chen Xing felt strange when he heard this arrangement. Isn’t it good to hang it in the teaching building? Why hang it in the auditorium? You know, he just had a crazy night there last night. It was the place where the dedication ceremony was held, and there was a portrait of him looking forward to death. What was this?
Even though he thought so, he didn't raise any objection because he couldn't find the right words to say.
That's all, as long as it can be remembered forever, it doesn't matter if it is placed in the auditorium or in the bathhouse, so that people often see it.
"I want to take a fiefdom in the edge town of the Red Dragon Principality. Does the dean have any suggestions?" After Catherine sat down, Chen Xing asked straight to the point. He wanted to leave the Ice Blue City as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares. If Triris summoned him again, it was really difficult for him to choose whether he should risk his life to go there or escape at night.
"Do you have any grudges with the Maris family?" the wise dean hit the nail on the head.
With Chen Xing's ability, it is not difficult to ask to see the Red Dragon Grand Duke and apply for a fiefdom in the edge town.
Chen Xing didn't say anything, so he acquiesced. Catherine thought for a long time and said, "I know Countess Ursula. She is the lover of Senator Zote. This matter should be able to talk about it."
"There will be a cocktail party at Kedra Manor the day after tomorrow. I will introduce you to it then. As for the reason..." Catherine pondered for a moment and said, "Her daughter is facing a period of youth rebellion and needs a psychological teacher. I will tell you. He is an expert in psychology.”
"This..." Chen Xing hesitated slightly, "Can I do it?"
"Some psychologists are born..." Catherine glanced at Chen Xing, "For example, you."
"Am I so powerful?" Chen Xing didn't believe it.
"Believe in yourself, come on!" Catherine patted Chen Xing on the shoulder to encourage him.
It didn't take long for Chen Xing to get the information about Ursula and her daughter.
Countess Kelly Ursula, whose late husband was Earl Merlin Ursula, was a senior officer in the Royal Guards of the Imperial City. The Royal Guards and the Dragon Scale Guards are the two most powerful elite troops in the Red Kingdom. Their combat power is as high as half a king's level, and their status is lofty.
The Countess is currently a widow and the lover of Senator Zote.
Margulies Ursula, the only daughter of Countess Ursula, is fourteen this year and is in tenth grade at the Ninth Noble Middle School in Ice Blue City. During the rebellious period of youth, psychological counseling is needed.
Brainless girl...
Chen Xing muttered in his heart that he seemed to have little experience with this kind of girl. But just take it one step at a time, there is no other way anyway.
On the day of the reception, Chen Xing attended in uniform. His style is the combat uniform tailored to formal dress. He is followed by Old K and three maids, full of energy and heroic spirit. The attendant at the door welcomed him in without asking any questions.
Now in Ice Blue City, everyone knows about him and everyone knows about him.
However, the host of the reception was from the old king's faction, so he did not come over to say hello to Chen Xing, but only raised a glass to him from a distance.
"Look, that's Chen Erliu, the little man of the third prince and concubine." "Young is quite young, and he has good energy, but he's nothing special." "Yeah, he's not as handsome as our little man. Woolen cloth."
Seeing Chen Xing, the ladies whispered.
"Look, his skin is thick and has no maintenance at all. You can tell at a glance that he comes from a poor family. I don't know what the third prince and concubine likes in him." "Who knows, maybe he has a special taste and likes this kind of little guy." Dark horse." "Haha, little dark horse, you can think of it..."
Although the voices of their discussions were very low, some words were always revealed inadvertently. Chen Xing's face was livid, but he couldn't explain it. Usually, this kind of thing gets darker and darker, and he can't explain it at all. Now even if you yell with a loudspeaker, everyone will probably only agree with you on the surface and be dismissive in their hearts.
However, Chen Xing III was a person who had already taken a dim view of many things. Just say it, whatever is false will never become true, so let those ignorant people remain ignorant...
When he thought about it this way, he felt much better.
"Mrs. Ursula, this is Baron Chen Erliu whom I introduce to you."
Seeing Chen Xing coming, Catherine introduced him to the middle-aged woman next to him.
"Hello!"
Chen Xing extended his hand generously. The woman in front of her was well maintained. She looked like she was in her early thirties, with a graceful figure and a very feminine charm.
"Hello, Lord Baron." Mrs. Ursula held Chen Xing's hand and praised, "You look much more handsome than on TV."
"Thank you." Chen Xing nodded to express his gratitude.
"The Baron not only looks handsome, he is also an expert in psychology." Dean Catherine said.
"Really?" Mrs. Ursula looked at Chen Xing with wide eyes, a strange light blooming in her eyes, as if she had discovered a new world.
"Thank you, Dean. I have only dabbled in it a little bit. I dare not claim to be an expert in front of two noble and wise ladies." Chen Xing said modestly, and then followed the stick, "I heard that Madam has been worried about Miss recently. , I wonder if there is any opportunity for me to serve?"
Mrs. Ursula looked at Dean Catherine with inquiry in her eyes, and the latter nodded.
"Alas..." Mrs. Ursula sighed and her face darkened, "My daughter has become more disobedient as she got older. When she was a child, she was obedient, like a little kitten, following her mother all day long. Now she has grown up and has hard wings. I just ignored my mother and treated her like an enemy. I kept a bad face every day. I locked myself in my room as soon as I came back from school and couldn’t open the door no matter how I called her..."
As she spoke, Mrs. Ursula shed tears, and Chen Xing quickly handed over the handkerchief.
"I secretly checked her communication records and found out that she made friends with all kinds of men on social media and chatted with several men. I went to complain to her, but she was fierce at me, saying that she was not my biological child..."
Listening to the cries of a middle-aged mother, Chen Xing couldn't help but sigh. No matter in any time, space, country, or civilization, there are bloody family ethics dramas staged. It is indeed a common problem among human beings.
Then the two parties agreed that Chen Xing would visit him the next morning.
That morning, Chen Xing woke up early, took a shower, and put on the imitation Guards officer uniform that the hotel tailor made overnight. This was a special arrangement by him. Margulies' father was a senior officer in the Guards during his lifetime, so clothing with similar styles will bring a sense of familiarity.
After breakfast, Chen Xing, accompanied by Lao K, got into the carriage and headed to Countess Ursula's mansion.
The mansion is located in the Ruby District of Ice Blue City. Ruby District and Sapphire District are the top residential areas for the rich and powerful in Ice Blue City and even the entire Ambergris River Basin. They are located on the east and west sides of the Ice Blue City Palace. House prices are as high as thousands of gold coins per square meter, and moving rails are hundreds of thousands. A room with gold coins. Chen Xing only has enough money to buy a medium-level mansion.
"Bahhhh..."
The two big horses took small steps and arrived in front of a large Western-style house next to the lake. The big house is two stories high and nearly fifty meters wide, with two rows of arched floor-to-ceiling windows, and a green lawn in front of the door.
The gardener was working on the grass with a lawnmower. A swing hung on the big tree in front of the door. When the breeze blew by, the swing swayed gently, making it leisurely and comfortable.
An old housekeeper stood in front of the iron gate of the yard, with his hands behind his back and his posture upright. Seeing Chen Xing's carriage approaching, he immediately stepped forward to greet it.
"Is this Lord Chen Erliu?" the old housekeeper asked.
After receiving a positive answer, the old housekeeper opened the door and welcomed Chen Xing and Lao K in.
In the living room, a huge crystal lamp hangs from the dome, and the grand staircase facing the main entrance splits left and right and winds up. Looking up, you can see a row of rooms behind the corridor on the second floor.
The countess had already prepared tea and was waiting for Chen Xing's arrival.
"Good morning, madam." Chen Xing greeted politely.
"Hello, Lord Baron." Ursula shook hands with him.
Generally speaking, Chen Xing needs to kiss the back of the lady's hand to show intimacy. But as a mercenary, he really wasn't used to it, and people who knew his background didn't raise their hands to let him kiss him.
The two exchanged a few shabby words and soon got to the point.
Today is the weekend, and Miss Margulies did not go to class. After breakfast, she locked herself in the room on the second floor, not knowing what she was doing.
"My daughter is really disturbing..."
Mrs. Ursula sighed and brought Chen Xing to Margulies' room.
There is a sign hanging on the door, with a line of Western Continental letters written crookedly: "Do not disturb! (Do not disturb)"
Mrs. Ursula shrugged helplessly at Chen Xing and knocked on the door.
There was no response at first, but after the lady knocked a few more times, a grumpy and impatient voice finally came from inside.
"It's so annoying!"
"I told you not to disturb me!"
"I'm studying!"
"Honey, I hired a very kind tutor. He may be able to help you." Mrs. Ursula said after discussion, looking cautious.
There was silence for a moment, then a louder sound erupted.
"Let him go!"
"Stop bothering me with those disgusting guys!"
"Otherwise I will burn this house down and make you, an old bitch, homeless!"
Mrs. Ursula looked embarrassed, took out her handkerchief and wiped her forehead.
Seeing that things were about to go wrong, Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm going in now. No matter what happens later, please believe me."
Without waiting for the countess to answer, Chen Xing flashed and disappeared with a "Zila" sound, leaving a small arc of electricity on the ground.
The next second, Chen Xing appeared in the room.
There is a faint fragrance in the air, pink petal wallpaper, exquisite white bed, tall and simple wardrobe, slender floor mirror, elegant and luxurious walnut wood dressing table...
But these are not the point.
"ah!"
The girl's screams pierced her eardrums. Standing in front of Chen Xing was a girl wearing only underwear. She had blond hair, green eyes, her hair was tied into a double ponytail, and her skin was as white as cream. She seemed to be changing clothes. She was frightened by Chen Xing who suddenly broke in. She was so embarrassed and angry that she hugged her body and screamed loudly.
Chen Xing was stunned. He didn't expect it to be self-defeating. He had seen many beauties, but he had no feeling for this bean sprout-like body. With a "sizzle" sound, he left an electric arc on the ground and went out.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Ursula looked stunned.
Chen Xing smiled awkwardly but politely, "Nothing..." he said easily, "I probably saw a cockroach."
