บท 17: Chapter 17 : Girl shoul be reserve
City Lord Xiao did not believe in Jiang Yi's divination skills.
If a soul master possesses illusion-type soul skills and Liu Feng was killed by one, then performing such miraculous divination would not be impossible.
But now, City Lord Xiao is sure about Jiang Yi's divination abilities. He had already started to believe when the image of the City Lord's wife appeared in the mirror.
However, just to be sure, it's better to continue testing.
What if a blind cat happens to catch a dead mouse?
Not everyone can be a city lord, even if Notting City is almost at the border.
But now, facts speak louder than words—divination is real, and it's more real than pure gold.
After receiving this information, City Lord Xiao was even more excited. If he could recruit someone with such talent, it would make things much easier in the future.
Even if he couldn't retain this talent, he could still receive a hefty reward by introducing him to the empire's senior officials.
Soon, the most dreaded month of inspections for Tiandou Empire city lords will arrive. While city lords are considered nobles and can act with authority within a city, they are the lowest tier of the entire noble class.
That is why City Lord Xiao spends so much every time inspections come around. His background isn't solid, so without some networking and diplomacy, he might lose his position!
"Dismissed!"
City Lord Xiao's thoughts began to wander as he calculated how to maximize his profits. That is the instinct of a noble.
Those who aren't talented soul masters must use their non-practice time to ensure their status in other ways.
At this moment, Jiang Yi wasn't aware of City Lord Xiao's plans.
Right now, Jiang Yi was facing a bombardment of questions from a group of nobles and wealthy merchants, most of whom were women.
Notting City is relatively small, so there's nothing particularly secretive about what happens.
The death of Guard Captain Liu Feng attracted a lot of attention, and Jiang Yi, who found Liu Feng's body perfectly, naturally became the center of their attention.
For an entire day, Jiang Yi faced this relentless bombardment from the nobles.
By dusk, everyone had finally dispersed.
Even with a body strengthened by 800-year-old soul rings, Jiang Yi found it a bit overwhelming after a full day of this.
"I didn't expect you to be so popular!"
Xiao Wu's calm words came out slowly. Jiang Yi faced this cute rabbit and was only concerned about whether she had brought him dinner.
"Where's my dinner?"
When Jiang Yi asked this question, Xiao Wu's mouth twitched slightly.
At this moment, Xiao Wu wanted to smash Jiang Yi's head in. She had rushed over to see him, and he was only interested in food?
"Here!"
Xiao Wu handed over the dinner she had brought and then ignored Jiang Yi.
She thought Jiang Yi might say something, but after waiting a few seconds, all she heard was him wolfing down the food.
Xiao Wu frowned, but Jiang Yi still didn't notice.
Rage +1.
"Finally alive!"
After eating and drinking his fill, Jiang Yi sighed in relief. The next moment, he felt something wrap around his neck.
Then there was a burst of fragrant wind, and Jiang Yi felt his vision spinning.
Bang.
Jiang Yi was thrown to the ground by Xiao Wu's perfect grappling move. Xiao Wu glared at Jiang Yi, expecting him to beg for mercy.
Xiao Wu was bound to be disappointed. If he were an ordinary six-year-old, he might cry for his parents in such a humiliating position. But Jiang Yi just closed his eyes silently.
"Girls should be reserved. Broad daylight is quite dangerous, especially on the street."
Xiao Wu waited a while but didn't hear him begging for mercy. Instead, she heard a comment that made her blush.
Without much hesitation, Xiao Wu kicked like a rabbit and landed perfectly next to Jiang Yi.
"Pervert!"
With her face turning red, Xiao Wu said this and jumped over a fence, running into the distance.
"Who's playing the blame game?"
Jiang Yi stood up and shook his head helplessly. Weren't you the one who started this?
Just as he got up, Jiang Yi saw Dean Wu from Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, along with a child about twelve years old, standing beside him.
They both stared at Jiang Yi in shock, and Jiang Yi had no choice but to act casually, pack his things, and slip away.
"Dean, that work-study student seems to have violated the school rules."
After Jiang Yi left, the boy beside Dean Wu spoke seriously.
His tone had a hint of bitterness.
"She's already level 13. You should know what that means!"
Dean Wu looked at Xiao Chenyu, the son of City Lord Xiao, and smiled.
"I understand."
Xiao Chenyu, who had known about the special nature of soul masters since childhood, nodded.
Someone who is level 13 at age 6 is bound to be more than just a great soul master in the future. This kind of person isn't someone he can afford to provoke, so he should keep his distance.
Dean Wu had to visit the City Lord's Mansion later to smooth things over for Yu Xiaogang.
He needed to express humility, so he brought Xiao Chenyu, who was originally not allowed to leave the academy.
As for the work-study student's matter, Dean Wu would likely turn a blind eye. A six-year-old with 13 levels has unlimited potential.
Although this might seem unfair, people with great talent often have privileges, just like high-performing students receiving preferential treatment.
After entering the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Chenyu wasn't allowed to listen to Dean Wu's conversation with City Lord Xiao.
Xiao Chenyu went straight to the City Lord's wife, who, being his mother, had much to discuss with him.
Xiao Chenyu shared what he had seen and heard at school. When he told the city's wife about what had just happened, she interrupted him.
"Tomorrow, I'll take you for a divination. Don't mess with anyone associated with that person."
The city's lord's wife was still nervous about the divination. Although she felt something was off, she believed the diviner was deliberately saying nice things to her.
Otherwise, she might be in trouble now. She came from a wealthy merchant family in Notting City, and if City Lord Xiao found something untoward, Xiao Chenyu might not be able to behave so recklessly at school.
City Lord Xiao's martial spirit is a wolf, and Xiao Chenyu's martial spirit is also a wolf.
But this doesn't prove they're father and son, because the City Lord's wife's martial spirit is also a wolf.
Under these conditions, if City Lord Xiao finds out he's wearing a green hat, the consequences could be severe.
"I understand."
Although Xiao Chenyu was a bit puzzled, he didn't ask further. There are so many people at school, so there is no need to fixate on one work-study student.
With Xiao Chenyu's status, marriage shouldn't be a problem, so there's no need to pursue unnecessary conflicts.
Jiang Yi stood in the room, took out Tang San's hidden blade, and tried to perform a dream divination.
"How do you forge this thing?"
After reciting it silently seven times, Jiang Yi slowly closed his eyes.
A dilapidated blacksmith shop came into view, and the sound of metal being forged echoed from within.
