The gentle sunlight illuminated the cold, enchanting face of Alfalfa Princess. Although her expression was devoid of any emotion, it somehow revealed a hint of an eerie color. This sudden change made her entire presence seem less beautiful.
Xie Tianyu, disguised as a servant, appeared respectful under the princess's authority. However, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, as if sensing something amiss. He began to ponder whether there was something wrong with his previous remarks.
Could it be that he had misstepped? Was that why she seemed a bit unusual?
Before he could grasp the situation, Alfalfa spoke again.
"Do I have so many unspeakable matters?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Tianyu immediately realized his mistake and panicked, saying, "Your Highness is joking! It is I who misspoke; please forgive me!" He wiped away a cold sweat, feeling an inexplicable unease growing stronger within him.
For an ordinary person, this feeling might just lead to sweating, but for a martial artist with keen senses, it was akin to a ticking bomb! Alfalfa was clearly not someone who could be easily deceived.
Sure enough, Alfalfa seemed to sense the strangeness of this familiar servant. Her captivating eyes shifted slightly, and deep within them, unusual ripples began to spread. Then she parted her crimson lips and said, "You seem a bit nervous. This is not the little servant I know. Or have you done something that you cannot show me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Tianyu's body trembled slightly but quickly returned to normal. He knew he must not reveal any flaws at this moment. His years of experience as a scout helped him mask his inner turmoil. He boldly raised his head slightly and displayed a sycophantic smile.
"This little servant would never dare to do anything disrespectful to Your Highness. You are overthinking it! Under Your Highness's authority, even a general would bow down; how could I not be nervous? Isn't that just showing Your Highness's might?"
He played his part convincingly, appearing genuine without a hint of falsehood.
Alfalfa Princess did not scrutinize him further; she merely tilted her head slightly and smiled for the first time. "You little dog slave really knows how to speak. Very well, remember this: go to the steward later and claim your reward. Just say it was my order; take as much silver as you want!"
Truly generous! Xie Tianyu thought to himself. Although he felt some disdain, he maintained his facade and smiled even more ingratiatingly. "Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness. This servant does not desire much silver; just enough will do. I dare say I have greater aspirations!"
"Oh?" Alfalfa replied with mild surprise. She had never heard of a servant who did not love silver. She certainly did not think this little servant before her had the audacity to make unreasonable demands, so she became intrigued and playfully asked, "Then tell me what your aspirations are."
While calculating in his mind and observing Alfalfa's subtle movements for signs of anger, Xie Tianyu finally mustered the courage to say slowly, "This servant only hopes to always be by the princess's side and help alleviate her worries; that is my duty!"
Such flattering words made Alfalfa tremble slightly at their utterance. In truth, Xie Tianyu did not genuinely wish to be this servant; rather, he needed to become the closest person to her in order to learn about her daily whereabouts.
From the fact that the real stool could help Alfalfa deliver that poison, it is enough to say that this stool is absolutely a reliable ally for Alfalfa. Otherwise, once the matter is exposed, the consequences would be dire! After all, she harmed a prince of the Qin Empire, and even the World-Walking Prophet!
Now that the real stool has been dealt with by Xie Tianyu, his disguised stool still wants to be the closest person to Alfalfa, which naturally requires some effort!
Of course, these are just his own considerations; it remains to be seen how Alfalfa plans to arrange him!
As soon as he finished speaking, Alfalfa fell silent for a moment, then turned around and walked in another direction without saying much. Xie Tianyu was taken aback but wisely followed her!
Throughout this journey, he felt nervous and uncertain about where Alfalfa intended to go. According to what Xie Tianyu had previously gathered about the Princess Mansion's environment, it seemed they were not heading toward the backyard! It felt more like a leisurely stroll without any specific destination!
The Princess Mansion was vast, and after a short while, they entered a garden!
In the garden, flowers bloomed brilliantly in all seasons, nourished by ample sunlight and exuding a captivating fragrance! Normally, Xie Tianyu might have enjoyed such an atmosphere; however, following Alfalfa now felt like being a ticking time bomb!
He had no idea when this bomb would explode! And he knew very well that once it did, the consequences would be unimaginable!
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Alfalfa wandered around the garden. Although the garden was large enough, after such a stroll, they quickly finished exploring it. Throughout the process, Xie Tianyu remained silent, truly resembling a servant trailing behind Alfalfa like a sycophant!
Alfalfa also found it strange; her mood was unusually erratic as she walked several laps. Finally, after a while, she stopped and suddenly turned around to stare directly at Xie Tianyu's disguised stool!
This action nearly startled Xie Tianyu into jumping up. Fortunately, with years of experience in disguise and composure, he merely froze for a moment before quickly putting on his usual ingratiating smile and saying, "Your Highness, what is it? I see you are in good spirits today!"
"Is that so? I think so too. But what about you?" Alfalfa said oddly as she took a few steps back, creating distance between herself and Xie Tianyu. This action seemed quite ordinary yet was also very unusual!
In that instant, Xie Tianyu narrowed his eyes, sensing a sense of crisis. However, there were no further changes around them; within his line of sight, apart from the frail-looking Alfalfa before him, there was no one else who could pose a threat to him. Yet this feeling was so real!
Moreover, coupled with what Alfalfa had just said...
"I am dull-witted and do not understand what Your Highness means..." Xie Tianyu awkwardly smiled and unconsciously took a few steps back as if fearing Alfalfa's authority. But was that really the case?
Suddenly, a cold wind began to blow; under the bright sun, this wind felt quite out of place! Yet it strangely seemed entirely natural!
"You play the part well, truly well. Unfortunately, you shouldn't follow me!" Alfalfa's tone suddenly turned cold, and her gaze towards Xie Tianyu was filled with frost!
Xie Tianyu's smile froze abruptly, his expression slightly stiffened, and his body felt as if it had been infused with lead, unable to move. He couldn't understand where things had gone wrong; why had he still been seen through?
No! Could it be that this is another test from the princess? Perhaps she only suspects me and hasn't truly discovered that I am not the real Stool!
Clinging to his last shred of hope, Xie Tianyu quickly knelt down and pretended to be terrified, saying, "Your Highness, do you have some misunderstanding about me? I am utterly loyal to you! You... you don't recognize me anymore?"
As the saying goes, a man's knees are worth gold. However, for a eunuch, kneeling was a common occurrence! For the sake of his last chance, he threw caution to the wind!
Unfortunately, his actions did not earn him an ounce of trust from Alfalfa. It seemed she was convinced of something as she continued to sneer, "Are you still trying to play this game with me? Let me tell you, in terms of acting, even ten of you wouldn't be my match!"
Once those words were spoken, any remaining fantasies Xie Tianyu held were shattered! His kneeling body trembled slightly, but this tremor was not caused by Alfalfa's extraordinary insight! After she finished speaking, a powerful Divine Consciousness locked onto him!
It was this inexplicable Divine Consciousness that suppressed him to the point of immobility! Xie Tianyu suddenly realized that the sense of crisis he had felt all along was not unfounded! All this time, there had been invisible and terrifying guards around Alfalfa!
Understanding this point made any further disguise seem unnecessary and ridiculous! In an instant, Xie Tianyu elevated his realm to its maximum level! Then he forcefully broke through the shackles of that Divine Consciousness and turned to face Alfalfa directly! His gaze was fierce and filled with killing intent!
"The most scheming woman in the Sky Abyss Empire is indeed extraordinary; you were able to see through this! Good, it saves me from pretending to be a servant. To be honest, it's quite nauseating, even for someone as shameless as I am!"
Xie Tianyu stood up, yet his body still trembled. This was because he had forcibly broken through the Divine Consciousness of an unknown powerful being but could not perfectly resolve it due to the significant difference in their levels!
However, this confrontation had already reached a critical moment of life and death!
Seeing him finally admit it, Alfalfa showed no sign of surprise as if everything were within her control. Nevertheless, Xie Tianyu did not give her any more time for idle chatter! To maximize his chances of survival before locating the exact position of her shadow guard's aura!
He struck!
"Thunder rolls! Five Elements Eight Trigrams Thunder Palm!" Without any hesitation, almost in the blink of an eye, Xie Tianyu suddenly arched his body and thrust out both palms. Countless blazing Thunder Lights gathered between his hands, looking incredibly terrifying!
And this was just the beginning of the explosion! Onlookers could only see the rolling Thunder Light from his palms; in the next second, that terrifying lightning struck towards Alfalfa!
The two people maintained a deliberate distance of about ten meters apart, but this distance was merely a fleeting moment! As the terrifying Thunder Light was about to strike Alfalfa's stunning face, it truly sent chills down one's spine!
Strangely, however, Alfalfa showed no signs of shock whatsoever; not even a hint of fear crossed her expression. She stood there like a mountain, seemingly unaffected by the impending blow!
Such behavior might be expected from a martial artist, but she was just an ordinary woman! No matter how Xie Tianyu thought about it, he could only come up with two possibilities: either she was deliberately seeking death, or she was certain that the Thunder Light would not hit her!
The former was certainly absurd! But the latter still left Xie Tianyu unable to imagine!
And what was even more unimaginable soon occurred!
The one who was shocked was naturally not Alfalfa, but Xie Tianyu himself; he was astonished by the Thunder Light he had unleashed!
Because! Those countless seemingly terrifying Thunder Lights came to a complete stop just an inch before Alfalfa Princess! Yes, you read that right! The divine wrath of lightning halted before an ordinary person!
This was certainly not some divine miracle! Alongside this miracle, Xie Tianyu's eyes caught sight of a shadow! The shadow first appeared under the illumination of the Thunder Light, shining brilliantly! He couldn't even clearly see the person's face!
He could only watch as his Thunder Light gradually dissipated, like peeling away layers of silk!
