Flirty tone.
A conversation that has no meaning.
In addition, the other party had no intention of moving.
Alina's little heart began to beat faster.
What she feared most happened.
Could it be that they... were targeted by bad guys?
"big..."
Just as the maid was about to speak nervously in a low voice, Liz stopped her with her eyes.
I saw that compared to Alina's panicked hands and feet, and her mind going blank, Liz, as the earl's daughter, reacted very quickly.
The eldest lady simply chose not to say a word, and then took Alina with her, and the two of them quickly turned around and took another route.
And this road, the maid discovered, did not lead to the Earl's manor at all.
But Alina quickly reacted.
After all, the Earl's Manor is considered a relatively remote location in the inner city. If you continue heading home, you won't meet anyone else on the way.
The one Liz chose was the one leading to Vulcan Square, which was also the closest city guard station to their current location.
Big... Miss, you are so calm...
If Alina respected Liz in the past, it was only because the relationship between them was mostly based on status.
But at this moment, the little maid admired Liz from the bottom of her heart.
Because, if she had been alone, she would have been... frightened and froze on the spot, at a loss.
Therefore, if a girl walking at night encounters a bad guy, the first thing she should do is stop thinking about running home naively and find a crowded place nearest you, or an official occasion. That's the right thing to do.
Oh, there are no girls watching at all, so that’s okay.
Theoretically, under normal circumstances, Liz and the others should be able to encounter the patrolling city guards very quickly. Even worse, they could also encounter pedestrians.
But the premise is under "normal circumstances".
The current situation in Huodian City is obviously "abnormal".
Due to the sudden huge explosions and raging fires in the outer city, not only the city guards were mobilized in large numbers, but even the people who came out for a walk in the inner city who had nothing to do at night would have been frightened and had to go home. .
Therefore, even though Liz was trying her best to change the route, they were stunned and didn't even meet anyone who asked for help.
But the good thing is.
The maid Alina still couldn't hold back and secretly glanced behind them with her peripheral vision.
call!
She breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest fearfully.
There was no sign of the man from before.
The other party didn't follow.
Very good!
Just when the maid was extremely happy, suddenly, a familiar scene happened again.
Liz, who was leading the way in front of Alina, stopped again.
And this time...
Alina could clearly feel that not only did the eldest lady's body tighten a lot, but even the hands hidden in the cuffs were so nervous that they shrank into fists and trembled faintly.
Could it be...
A bad premonition arose.
wrong! impossible!
They clearly chose to go in almost the opposite direction to the frivolous man before, and Alina was very sure that she definitely did not see the other person following them.
According to normal logic, the other party should have no reason to be faster than them, let alone appear in front of them and continue to block the way.
But then, reality slapped Alina mercilessly in the face.
This may be the reason why even Liz, the previously calm and composed young lady, began to become nervous.
The male voice that sounded in Alina's ears just a few minutes ago appeared again.
"Yo!"
"Where are you two ladies going...?"
It looked like the man appeared opposite them out of thin air, like a ghost, with wings.
Liz's expression became serious.
Her beautiful eyebrows were hugging each other tightly at the moment.
There is no exaggeration in Liz's description above.
She who walked in front saw more than the maid behind, especially when she was already extremely focused.
This young lady is extremely sure.
It was clear that there was absolutely no man in front of him a second ago, but in the blink of an eye, the man appeared strangely from nowhere.
magic? Martial arts? Or something else?
Liz didn't know.
But what she can be sure of is that the other person is definitely nothing more than a gangster who is just here to chat up and act like a hooligan.
But the next second.
"Come on, little girl, give me a smile!"
Do not know why.
Seeing the usually majestic lady opposite him looking nervous in front of him, this line suddenly popped into Liao Zixuan's mind.
Liz: "..."
Okay, she takes back what she said before. It's possible that the other party is just a gangster with extraordinary skills and unpredictable strength... who just wants to strike up a conversation and act like a gangster.
"Ahem..."
Cleared his throat.
Anyway, all my strength was lost by the words I just thought of.
Liao Zixuan stopped pretending.
Hey, the master has shown his cards, he announced that from now on, the title will be temporarily changed to "I Trained the Villain Young Lady into Xxxx"
Please make up your mind for the content of word x according to your own situation.
"Who are you? What's the purpose of stopping us?" Liz asked in a deep voice.
As for Liao Zixuan, the more cautious he saw Liz, the more he wanted to be more unruly, to change the atmosphere, and then see how the earl's daughter would react.
then...
"Miss, are you saying this a little too strongly?"
"As the saying goes, if we are destined to meet you thousands of miles away, if we are not destined to meet you, we will never meet in the opposite direction."
Shaking his head, the breath of a literary book came to his face.
pity.
Liz, Alina: "..."
They knew every word the man in the way said, but... they just couldn't understand it!
the other side.
Liao Zixuan curled his lips.
cut.
Foreign girls are just uneducated.
"I mean, since we are so destined to meet each other by chance in the middle of the night, why not... go to my house for a drink together? Don't look at me like this, but my house is quite big."
Liao Zixuan just finished speaking.
"No, thank you." After refusing directly and coldly, Liz turned around and left with Alina.
But this time, Liao Zixuan would not let them go.
It's okay to play cat and mouse once.
Any more would be boring.
"No, no, no, ladies, don't be so anxious."
The master and servant only felt a blur in front of their eyes.
A man's figure stood in front of them.
Yes, come forward.
Before, they were just blocking the road, and there was a certain distance between the two sides, but now, they are almost face to face with each other.
The distance was getting closer and closer, and the two of them couldn't see clearly how Liao Zixuan got here.
The pupils shrank suddenly.
Liz quickly grabbed the frightened maid, and the two of them immediately stepped back a few steps, their high heels stepping heavily on the street, making a crisp sound echoing in the silent night.
"You two ladies, look, it's dark and there's no one on the street. What if you meet a bad guy?"
Liao Zixuan looked concerned.
"It's just right. What a coincidence. My home is nearby. I think it would be better for the two ladies to stay at my home tonight. Wouldn't it be much safer to go back at dawn tomorrow morning?"
Liz regretted Liao Zixuan's well-founded advice.
It's not that she regretted going out to buy clothes for Vivian tonight.
What she really regretted was why she was so worried about her eldest lady's arrogance and didn't want others to know about it, so she didn't tell her father or bring a guard. She just asked a maid who might have lower strength than her to carry the things.
Take a deep breath.
You see, you can't escape just by hiding and running, so you can only...
Liz's expression suddenly changed.
The solemn expression before disappeared, replaced by a smile on the young lady's face.
"Oh, is it so?"
"It's better than this, sir. Since you are so enthusiastic and are afraid that we will meet bad people, why don't you, sir, come... accompany us?"
"Of course, we will definitely not let your efforts go in vain. As a reward, when we get home, I will invite you to our home."
"When the time comes, sir, you can have as many drinks with us as you want."
Liz turned back to being the guest, looked at Liao Zixuan with a smile, and spoke very seductively.
It was even said that the eldest lady borrowed his words, pretending to be provocative.
"Sir, although it's not nice to say this, our home... is quite big."
But actually.
Earl's manor, plus castle.
"Quite big" is indeed an appropriate description.
As long as the other party is fascinated and charmed, they dare to follow them.
There is no need to go to the gate of the manor, even if it is only close to a certain area of the Thistle family, Liz naturally has the means to get all the guards of the family to rescue her immediately.
When the time comes, no matter how powerful the other party is, can they still compete with an entire ancient aristocracy?
Not to mention, Vivian still lives in the castle!
That was a genuine third-level powerhouse. Looking at it, there were only a few in the entire Fire Code City.
How could Liao Zixuan not understand what Liz was thinking.
"Tsk tsk, Miss, look at what you are dressed like this, and you are followed by a maid. You must be a noble from some wealthy family, right? How dare someone like me go to your noble mansion, Miss?"
"Eh? By the way, miss, you guys just came out of Nina Tailoring, right?"
Liao Zixuan's eyes fell on the clothes bag carried by the maid.
Before Liz could react, the topic suddenly changed.
Liao Zixuan sighed again.
"Miss, look, I told you that we are destined, but you still don't believe me!"
"To be honest, I just came out of Nina Tailoring not long ago, but Miss, guess... why am I not holding a clothes bag in my hand like you?"
"..."
After a short silence.
"It must be that there are no clothes there that would satisfy Sir."
Liz said without blushing or heart beating.
With her little mind, when Liao Zixuan mentioned the words "Nina Tailoring", she had already had a premonition of the origin of the whole thing.
The eldest lady felt a little relieved in her heart.
After all, it was much better than the worst she expected, such as her father's enemies, the kidnapping by a treasure thief group, and so on.
Think about it this way.
Liz suddenly felt that the strange man who stopped them across the street seemed to be... quite good-looking?
If you look so good, then you definitely won't, and you still care about trivial things with them, right?
"No, no, no, miss, there is a piece of clothing that I particularly like in that store, but who knew, I just had a stomachache, and when I went to the bathroom, the boss actually told me that the dress I ordered was Someone else robbed it!"
Liao Zixuan sighed sadly.
"Really? That's really unfortunate." Liz made a voice of deep sympathy.
"I haven't finished speaking yet. Miss, if someone robbed my clothes, of course I couldn't give up. So I asked the boss for specific information about the other party, and then the boss told me that the people who robbed my clothes were two people who were together. They are all women, and one of them is dressed as a maid."
"I wonder if you, ladies, have ever met you?"
Nina tailors and can change her boss tomorrow.
After Liz made the first arrangements for tomorrow, she nodded to Liao Zixuan.
"Sir, when you say that, I do seem to have some impression."
"At that time, I remember that those two people...were going that way. You should hurry up and chase them."
With that said, the eldest lady pointed to Liao Zixuan, leading to the outer city of Huodian City, the area that was heavily affected by fire.
I thank you!
Liao Zixuan felt that if he wanted to, Liz wouldn't be able to play with him until dawn.
can only say...
She is worthy of being the daughter of a noble family. She is a good actor and can say anything outrageous without changing her expression.
"hehe."
"I'm curious how you know about Nina's tailoring."
The expression on Liao Zixuan's face gradually calmed down, and he no longer used the joking tone before, but asked seriously.
"I passed by by chance and went to check it out."
After Liz answered, Liao Zixuan stopped talking and started moving directly.
He approached the master and servant step by step.
Distance is the most stressful thing. The atmosphere that had calmed down a moment ago immediately became tense and extremely tense.
finally...
"Don't, don't come closer! It's all me! It's my fault! It was me who recommended Nina Tailoring to the lady, and I was the one who told the lady to steal your clothes, sir. You...if you want to vent your anger, Just take me and let the lady go!"
The maid Alina, holding the clothes bag, rushed out from behind Liz and stood between the eldest lady and Liao Zixuan.
Even though her legs in black stockings were shaking uncontrollably, she was obviously too scared, but she still stood up.
"Elina!"
Unable to help herself, Liz blurted out and called the maid by her real name for the first time.
In a certain anime that Liao Zixuan likes, a great teacher once said that the best way to reshape interpersonal relationships is fear.
Looking at Alina and Liz, they held hands together at some point.
Liao Zixuan was very satisfied.
very good!
Just you two, go and do Ji, don't harm my Vivian!
After dealing with two potential threatening opponents, Liao Zixuan was very satisfied with this trip and could draw a satisfactory conclusion...
Um! ?
The warning of danger caused a picture to appear in Liao Zixuan's mind.
It was a person wearing the same maid uniform as Alina, approaching their current location with murderous intent at high speed.
Heh, are you the bodyguard of Earl Thistle's family?
It came so quickly.
But this is... a battle maid?
Originally, Liao Zixuan still had time to complain.
But soon.
In an instant, his brows furrowed sharply.
Because as the other party got closer and closer, Liao Zixuan's perception became more and more detailed. He discovered that the maid's target with murderous intent was not him.
instead...
she! ?
