Chapter 29: Collei Also Wants to Embrace the Future!
"Ayexia, is Master Ye Xi treating you well?"
Upon hearing Collei's question, Ayexia didn't hesitate and replied with a smile, "Of course, he treats me very well."
"Master Ye Xi is a very kind person!"
"Although he speaks in a commanding way, he is very thoughtful and cares about my feelings!"
"The most important thing is that Master Ye Xi gave me a future!"
"Future?"
Seeing the confused look on Collei's face, Ayexia explained, "I am a junior scholar at the Miaolun School, and my research focus is the self-discipline mechanism of Khaenri'ah."
"This afternoon, the master generously gave me a new relic guardian!"
"You said that if the master didn't care about me, he wouldn't give me such a gift?"
Collei shook her head; she didn't care how he could give such an important gift.
This is the guardian of the ruins!
There are also those big guys in the forest, very scary.
Ayexia leaned against the barrel, looking at the moon outside the window, her eyes full of longing: "With this relic guardian, I can publish articles that no other scholar can write!"
"There might even be a chance for me to become a Hebandha!"
"Do you know?"
"Miss Lisa, who is recognized as a genius throughout the Holy Order Academy, couldn't become a Hebandha at my age~"
"A future as bright as this was given to me by Master Ye Xi!"
As she spoke, Ayexia became somewhat complacent.
In the entire Holy Order, who wouldn't want to be a genius like Lisa?
She is the most powerful witch genius of the two hundred years of the Academy!
Although she is still a little junior scholar now, with that relic guardian, she believes she can definitely become a Khabandha!
Breaking out of her beautiful fantasy, Ayexia encouraged Collei: "Collei, perhaps your past is filled with darkness."
"But Master Ye Xi will definitely give you a bright future!"
"You must be brave enough to embrace the future!"
"Embrace the... future...?"
Listening to Ayexia's narration, Collei was filled with envy.
She could see that only when someone is truly loved would they express so many good wishes for the future in such a happy tone.
But she was a little worried: "Ayexia, I'm a bit afraid of Master Ye Xi."
"Afraid? Huh?"
Ayexia was filled with doubt: "Why?"
"Because, just now he killed people... killed many people..."
"Killed!?"
Ayexia was surprised by Collei's response, sat up, and asked, "So... is he a good person?"
"No, they wanted to sell me to the desert."
"Isn't that the big villain?"
Ayexia seemed filled with righteous indignation and said, hands on her hips: "Master Ye Xi went out to protect you and killed the villains! The hero saves the beauty, and everyone is happy!"
As she spoke, she sighed again: "Hey, I'm so envious of you for seeing such a brave and handsome master!"
"I want to take a look too!"
"How is it? Collei, is the master handsome?"
"Handsome..."
Collei's beautiful face flushed. Although her eyes were misty at the time, she could still see clearly from time to time.
At that moment, both Ye Xi's words and actions were so beautiful!
And he is powerful too!
In an instant, many people were killed!
In her opinion, even Master Tighnari or Officer Disciplinary Sano Dafeng would probably have a hard time doing that.
"It's just that... why did he kill so many people without any reaction..."
"That kind of calm makes people feel scared..."
Upon hearing this, Ayexia understood.
After all, Collei is still a little girl.
If it were her, she would have been terrified to experience such a scene in person.
It's like being protected by a lion, seeing it chew its prey and swallow it alive, and then feeling admiration for the lion.
"Collei, the master is from Khaenri'ah; perhaps you don't know the history of Khaenri'ah."
"Five hundred years ago, the Khaenrians caused a catastrophe, but they were also punished by the throne in the sky, and the entire country collapsed in an instant."
"Mountains and rivers are destroyed, families are ruined, people die and are devastated."
"The master must have gone through many hardships to have his current resolute character and calm thoughts."
"Although the master has never talked about what happened to Khaenri'ah back then, I believe he must be a swordsman!"
"When his own people are afraid of difficulties, he bravely stands up to protect everyone!"
Upon hearing Ayexia's explanation, Collei immediately felt relieved.
Yes.
She had forgotten Ye Xi's identity.
If he is a Khaenrian, after so many years of fighting blood on the battlefield, how can they be moved by these small things?
Wouldn't it be a waste of money to panic over a few bandits?
Ayexia seems like a little girl, her eyes full of starry sparkles: "Collei, what kind of person do you think the master was in Khaenri'ah back then?"
"Was he a noble? Was he a knight?"
"Or the number one swordsman in the world!"
"Ah, I really want to hear the master tell stories about that time!"
Collei softly said, "I think Master Ye Xi is a wizard because he doesn't even use weapons."
"Huh? He didn't use a weapon? I think the master must be more powerful with a weapon!"
"Is that so?"
"...."
To the side.
The corners of Ye Xi's mouth twitched as he heard the whispers beside him.
Are these two girls spying on the script?
He even guessed his identity as a noble and a swordsman!
Fortunately, they didn't continue guessing; otherwise, he might be the new king of Khaenri'ah, but he couldn't hide!
"My lord, you called me here; what are your orders?"
Ye Xi diverted his attention, looked at the Abyss Apostle kneeling before him, and said, "Go and monitor every move of the great sage; you must not be discovered."
"Yes!"
After speaking, a crack filled with abyssal power opened in the ground.
After the Abyss Apostle stealthily entered, he disappeared into the room.
Shortly after, footsteps came from outside the door.
"Collei, I'm going to hand over the master's position to you today. I'm going to write a thesis. You have to work hard!"
As the voice fell, there was a knock on the door.
Then Collei, wearing a thin white bath towel, entered the room like a hibiscus.
She lowered her head, and her eyes fell on unknown places.
"Master Ye Xi..."
"I also want to... embrace the future..."
