Luo Qixi and Luo Ya exchanged a glance. Luo Ya could read guilt and a hint of annoyance in Luo Qixi's eyes.
Feeling guilty probably means not knowing how to face the other person, while being angry is likely directed at oneself.
After all, he had made Luo Qixi look extremely embarrassed.
Needless to say, if Luo Qixi were to meet others in her current state, it would only remind them that someone had been inside and had done that kind of thing not long ago.
Luo Ya wanted Luo Qixi to simply shut up and pretend she wasn't in the house.
Before Luo Ya could speak, Luo Qixi hurriedly replied, "I'm here, wait a moment, I have something to do right now, I'll open the door for you in a bit."
Jin Jie's voice came again, and the other party said calmly, "Alright then, I'll wait for you for a moment."
Luo Ya rolled his eyes, but swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Luo Ya slapped Luo Qixi's forehead in annoyance and said helplessly, "Master Luo Qixi is really an unreliable person."
Luo Qixi, who was labeled as unreliable, was naturally very unhappy. She struggled to get up, not wanting to pay attention to Luo Ya, and stood up from the bed. This time, Luo Ya did not tease Luo Qixi anymore, allowing her to get up successfully.
Luo Qixi glanced at the unbuttoned buttons on her chest, sighed, and began to straighten the wrinkles in her clothes that Luo Ya had messed up. She whispered to Luo Ya, "Why don't you come back tonight? You snuck away this time, didn't you? I didn't get any advance notice at all."
After thinking for a moment, Luo Ya said to Luo Qixi, "This time, I actually wanted to take you back as my wife."
Luo Qixi ignored Luo Ya's flirtatious words and said somewhat coldly, "Although I also really want to be with Luo Ya, I have a mission to perform right now. As a court magician, since I've taken the money, I must fulfill my duties. I'm afraid I'll have to stay here for another six months."
Luo Ya sat on the bed and tidied up Luo Qixi's clothes that she had scattered around, putting them together.
Although being rejected by Luo Qixi was somewhat unexpected, since Luo Ya thought he could easily win her over with a little effort, it was clear that this idea was somewhat wrong.
Luo Qixi tidied her clothes and looked at the boy who was still lying in bed, unwilling to leave. She said speechlessly, "Um, aren't you leaving?"
Luo Ya asked in confusion, "Why should I leave?"
Luo Qixi's eyes widened, and she said in a tone of incomprehension, "Didn't you sneak in?"
Roya nodded.
Luo Qixi continued, "Then shouldn't you leave?"
Luo Ya curled his lip and said, "Not leaving, no problem."
Luo Qixi felt a headache coming on. She didn't want anyone to find out that she was hiding a man in her house. No, if she had accepted his feelings, it seemed reasonable for him, as her fiancé, to come and visit her, right? Besides, Luo Qixi and Jin Jie had such a good relationship that the other party wouldn't say anything inappropriate or spread gossip.
Thinking of this, Luo Qixi walked towards the door and opened it.
Standing outside was a woman of average appearance, who could definitely not be considered a beauty.
The other person was very tall, probably around 1.7 meters, with a long sword hanging at his waist. His eyes looked very sharp, and he was wearing a brown uniform that made his figure appear even more slender.
Jin Jie was slightly taken aback when she saw Luo Qixi, and then looked into the room, only to find a boy sitting on the bed at some point.
The boy's features were extremely handsome; even the word "handsome" would be an understatement.
Noticing Jin Jie's gaze, Luo Ya smiled at her.
Jin Jie seemed to be deep in thought. She looked down at Luo Qixi, whose eyes were darting around, and glanced around. She already knew what was going on.
Jin Jie is an extremely observant woman. Upon meeting Luo Qixi, she vaguely noticed that something was wrong with her, and now it seems that there is indeed a problem.
The buttons on the clothes weren't fully fastened, and looking at the marks on the bedding, it wasn't hard to imagine what had just happened here.
There was no violent struggle, so the other party was likely an old acquaintance of Luo Qixi.
Thinking of this, Jin Jie said helplessly, "Um, Miss Luo Qixi, even if you really want to find a man, you can't bring a man into the palace without reporting it, can you?"
Jin Jie's words were like a bomb, instantly making Luo Qixi's cheeks turn red. Luo Qixi quickly explained, "This is none other than my disciple, Luo Ya. I've told you before, he's an extremely outstanding disciple."
Luo Qixi's words piqued Jin Jie's curiosity, who had initially seemed uninterested.
Jin Jie stared directly at the boy sitting on the bed, sizing him up.
Indeed, as Luo Qixi said, he has extremely beautiful hair and a pair of outstanding eyes, but in terms of appearance, Luo Ya is definitely the most handsome person Jin Jie has ever seen.
However, Jin Jie asked with some doubt, "Miss Luo Qixi, didn't you say that the other party was a boy who looked very much like a girl?"
Luo Qixi fell silent, and Luo Ya's smiling face froze.
He was reluctant to talk about his childhood, but the people around him seemed to enjoy talking about him when he was young.
He glared fiercely at Luo Qixi and said somewhat boredly, "Hello, I am indeed her disciple, without a doubt, but now I have another identity."
Jin Jie nodded.
There's one more, currently being typed.
Chapter 159 Luo Qixi's Work
The nature of their relationship is self-evident; it refers to their somewhat ambiguous relationship at the moment.
Jin Jie nodded to Luo Ya and said, "Let me introduce myself. Hello, my name is Jin Jie York, and I am a knight in the Third Prince's Guard of the Kingdom of Xilong. I am ranked twelfth among the knights."
Roya nodded and introduced himself to the other person: "Nice to meet you. My name is Roya Greirat. You can just call me Roya."
Jin Jie's somewhat indifferent expression softened into a smile. She nodded and said, "I know you. Luo Qixi told me about your deeds."
Luo Ya tilted his head, looking at Luo Qixi with some confusion. Luo Ya was now very curious about what Luo Qixi had said behind his back.
Jin Jie said calmly, "She said you are a genius who can perform magic without chanting at such a young age."
Luo Ya asked in surprise, "Teacher Luo Qixi said such a thing?"
Jin Jie nodded and said, "Miss Luo Qixi often speaks highly of you, saying that you are not someone she is qualified to teach."
Luo Ya smiled and said, "Although I am proud to hear Luo Qixi say that, it is not true. Master Luo Qixi is an extremely outstanding teacher, and I have learned a lot from her."
Luo Qixi felt somewhat helpless, then her eyes caught sight of the food placed on the table, and she suddenly remembered something.
Luo Qixi rushed forward, and seeing the not-so-sumptuous food in the bowl, tears streamed down her face.
"My food"
Following Luo Qixi's gaze, Luo Ya saw the food that had gone cold.
The food wasn't particularly good, but it wasn't bad either.
However, the ingredients were quite jarring to look at, with yellowish and somewhat coarse grains. At first, Luo Ya didn't recognize it, but later he realized that it was actually rice.
Compared to the fragrant and delicious rice of my previous life, this rice is quite coarse and gives the impression of being unappetizing at first glance.
Even so, Luo Qixi still looked heartbroken.
Luo Ya scratched his head, somewhat speechless.
Jin Jie glanced at the food that had gone cold, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, this time I should call you Miss Luo Qixi, or rather, I should call you Lady Luo Qixi. I want to ask you to come to the palace to teach us how to deal with magic."
Luo Qixi was utterly despondent. She sighed and looked utterly hopeless, slumping in her chair and staring up at the ceiling.
Jin Jie continued, "In other words, Lady Luo Qixi, it's time for you to get to work. This is to call you to work."
Because Lokishi refused the Seventh Prince's tutor position, she used her extra time to train soldiers and participate in drills.
This is a simulation exercise of battling a magician.
The training involved Lokishi performing magic in chaotic battle, requiring the soldiers to find a way to deflect the attacks.
It is said that if one can reflexively deflect magic attacks that come from unexpected places, it is not difficult to escape death on the battlefield.
Moreover, the current situation is getting worse and worse, and no one knows whether war will break out in the future. Therefore, hiring a water king-level mage to prepare for the worst is indeed a good choice.
However, now that Loki wants to stay in the Kingdom of Xilong for the time being, she needs a good backer. Roya doesn't want to see the so-called seventh prince causing trouble for Loki everywhere.
The so-called seventh prince was a short and extremely obese man. Not only was he very short, but his limbs were also short.
Luo Ya thought about it for a moment, weighing the pros and cons of directly eliminating the opponent.
However, it would be somewhat undesirable if eliminating the other party affected Luo Qixi's work.
In fact, Roya had already come up with the simplest solution. The seventh prince of this country was more like a good-for-nothing who just loafed around and did nothing to deserve attention, but the third prince of the Kingdom of Xilong was a talent.
Roya was quite interested in the other party.
Zanova Shilon, the third prince of the Kingdom of Shilon, is a divine child, born with divine power and extremely strong resistance to physical attacks. He is kept as the strongest weapon in the Kingdom of Shilon. As a child, he had problems with his perception of things, only seeing dolls. As a result, he once twisted off the heads of his newborn brother (the fourth prince) and his newlywed wife, just like the dolls, earning him the title of "Head-Pulling Prince".
There are indeed problems with his cognition, but that doesn't change the fact that he is a genius.
After a moment's hesitation and a little thought, Roya had already devised a strategy to deal with the Seventh Prince.
Enough with violence! Let's just have Zanoba kill that useless brother of his.
Compared to an outsider like him taking action, the third prince, Zanoba Shiron, possessed absolute dominance. After all, it wasn't just his status that mattered; he also had the formidable reputation of having severed his own brother's head.
Basically, if you stand in front of the Seventh Prince, he probably won't dare to utter a single word.
After all, who knows if this brother, who's a bit mentally unstable, will just twist his head off.
Now that we have a solution, all that's left is to follow the plan.
Luo Qixi, looking exhausted, got up from the chair, glanced at the rice in her bowl, and said nothing more than to Jin Jie, "Alright then, I'll set off with you later."
Jin Jie glanced at Luo Ya, who was still standing to the side, and after a moment's thought, said to Luo Ya, "Why don't you come along? I heard that your skills are even stronger than those of Lady Luo Qixi."
Luo Ya stared into Jin Jie's eyes, but the other woman still had that indifferent expression.
Roya thought for a moment and said, "Compared to magic, my swordsmanship is much more powerful, you know?"
Jin Jie nodded, still with that calm and collected expression. She glanced at Luo Ya's not particularly muscular arms and his hands, which showed few signs of sword handling, and made no attempt to hide her suspicion.
