Chapter 289 You like her, right?

Jian Yue himself couldn't smell the scent, so he never imagined why Chris could smell it?

Although he had some complaints in his heart, Jian Yue was still a little evasive after meeting Chris's gaze. He coughed lightly and then said, "I went to visit someone at the church. When I left last time, I promised to visit her again."

Chris raised an eyebrow and said, "What kind of person has to go see this at night?"

Jian Yue made an excuse and said, "I couldn't sleep anyway, and it happened to be a dangerous moonlit night. I remembered that something happened to you on this night before, so I went out to see if I could find the murderer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chris immediately forgot about the questioning.

"You went there by yourself?" Chris had never expected that someone could be so crazy. The prince's face was not very good: "Oh, my God, do you know who gave you the courage? Do you know how dangerous this is?"

Jian Yue said: "I know, but... I think someone has to do it, so..."

Chris, however, was very excited. He took a deep breath and looked at Jian Yue with a serious expression. The handsome prince made eye contact with the person in front of him. Chris's glasses were crystal clear red in the early morning sun. He looked at Jian Yue, interrupted Jian Yue's words, and asked directly: "Why are you doing this?"

Jane Yue choked.

"You're taking this risk for me?" Chris said. "You're taking this risk for me, right?"

Jian Yue saw the surging emotions in Chris's eyes. He knew that kind of emotion too well. Such emotions were like boiling magma, rushing towards him quickly and violently. Such heat slowly spread towards him. Even though the two people were some distance apart, they could feel each other's trembling heartbeats.

And such a heartbeat would represent danger.

Jian Yue's heart trembled, and he said: "As your servant, your will is the most important, I..."

Chris said: "Just because I am your master?"

Jian Yue met Chris' eyes. Those red eyes looked at him expectantly, but Jian Yue still nodded slowly and said, "Yes."

Then Jian Yue watched as the light in Chris's eyes seemed to dim, and the bright ruby ​​seemed to suddenly become dim and lifeless. The dim light in them made people feel distressed.

Chris said: "No slave would go to such lengths for his master."

Jian Yue said: "I will."

Chris wanted to refute his words, he said: "Why, you don't have to do that, you know, I'm just a master who may have been cursed by the devil."

Jian Yue shook his head and said, "There is nothing in my heart. You are just my master."

Chris still didn't give up. He said, "You only regard me as your master. Do you really not regard me as anything else?"

When Jian Yue said this, his hands hidden under his sleeves had actually clenched tightly. When he and Chris looked at each other, his whole body had to hide extremely well to conceal the trembling.

"Your Highness." Jian Yue said, "If we are not master and servant, what should I treat you as?"

Chris was stumped by the question. The proud prince was unable to utter a single word. Veins on his hands placed at his sides were already visible, but he could not utter a single extra word.

The air is so quiet.

Such silence makes people feel a sense of emptiness and powerlessness.

A long time later.

Chris said, "Go down."

Jian Yue was silent for a moment, then he said, "Okay."

When going out of the house, Jian Yue happened to meet the blond butler. The blond butler could be said to be in a good mood these two days. After all, Jian Yue was the biggest obstacle for him. Now the relationship between the prince and Jian Yue was not harmonious, which was great for the blond butler.

The blond butler said, "Have you angered His Highness again? Why do I seem to hear you two quarreling? Oh, you stupid servant, I tell you, the master's orders cannot be disobeyed, but forget it, we have always been open-minded, so I will let you go this time."

He talked on and on.

Afternoon.

After what Jian Yue experienced last night, he did not get any rest the whole night, so he went back to the butlers' lounge in the morning to catch up on his sleep. Since he was assigned to the prince, no one in the castle had found work for him, so he could hide in the exclusive lounge to catch up on his sleep.

I slept until the afternoon.

When Jian Yue got up from the bed, he heard people discussing in the next room: "Have you heard? Duke Black said there will be a ball in the manor. Oh my God, there is finally a ball."

"Will His Royal Highness attend?"

"Oh I bet all the nobles in this town will come."

"Of course, they won't let go of such a good opportunity."

"Ms. Dali has been preparing for this for a few days."

"Does she take it so seriously?"

"Because she wants to marry the prince, but the prince has ignored her during this period."

"They are destined to be together!"

The servants were talking, and Jian Yue listened for a long time. When he came out of the room, the blond butler not far away was scolding the servants who were gossiping behind his back. When he saw Jian Yue, he said, "Come here."

Jane came over and asked, "What's the matter?"

The blond butler said with a condescending look and gaze: "These are the things you left with the prince. I saw them when I was cleaning the room for the prince today. Things that are not suitable for your status should not be allowed near your highness. Take them away!"

The book fell down.

It turned out to be the Devil's Notes.

Jian Yue's eyes lit up. That was great. He was worried about not being able to find a book. He was worried about how to translate the passage he copied from the sculpture last night!

The blond butler was waiting to see Jian Yue's hurt expression, but when he looked up, he found a look of joy on Jian Yue's face. He said gratefully, "Okay, thank you, I'll take you away right away!"

Blond housekeeper: “…”

No, is that right?

Jian Yue walked outside holding the book in his hand. He really needed to look up information on the subject. Although he didn't know the words in this small town, he could look it up himself through this book. He walked to the stable outside and sat down in a more secluded place. He was very familiar with the handwriting on the note, so he looked for what he needed from those unfamiliar handwritings.

The pages of the book kept turning, and finally, they stopped at one page.

Jian Yue saw that the handwriting on it was exactly the same as the handwriting on the paper, the Demon King, Qiliya.

Not far away, someone was walking towards us.

Jian Yue closed the book cautiously. A girl was walking slowly towards him from a distance. She was wearing a long skirt but was limping and blood was dripping from her body.

"Martha?" Jian Yue frowned, and he immediately stood up and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

He clearly remembered that the girl was fine yesterday and did not have such serious injuries.

Martha was also a little surprised when she saw Jian Yue, then she quickly dodged and whispered, "No, nothing!"

Jian Yue looked at the wound on her hand. There was no wound, only on her hand. However, her legs and feet were obviously a little sloping when she walked over. So Jian Yue said, "Did Miss Dali take it out on you again?"

Martha said quickly, "This time the young lady didn't take it out on me. It was my own fault that I didn't do the right thing. The young lady deserved to punish me."

Jian Yue asked, "What did you do to make her angry?"

Martha hesitated, but finally answered honestly: "Because I came back from church yesterday, I saw Maria's friend has recovered from the demon disease. To be honest, the girl has become very beautiful, so beautiful that I can hardly recognize her. But I don't know why, I always feel that her temper is different from before. The child used to be lively and happy, but yesterday she kept her eyebrows down and didn't talk to anyone."

Jian Yue suddenly remembered that he had been to a church a long time ago. At that time, he met a monster without flesh and skin in the church. Maria told him that her good friend was taken to a special room for treatment by the bishop and might be saved soon.

Could it be this person?

Jian Yue asked: "What's her name?"

"Mia," Martha said. "She used to be Maria's best friend. They grew up together and talked about almost everything. But now that she has recovered, she even avoids Maria."

Jian Yue knew that there was something strange going on, there must be something strange going on, because his main mission this time was to investigate the cause of the demonic disease and find a way to lift the demonic curse.

Now it seems that Mia is the new breakthrough. Her demonic disease has been cured, but her entire personality has changed drastically. If we can find out what caused her to become like this, things will definitely go more smoothly.

Jian Yue asked: "Do you know where she is now?"

Martha replied, "The girls who were successfully treated by the church must continue to receive the Lord's blessing and cleansing in the church to become monks. It takes three years before they can leave the church. So they are all on the other side of the church. I don't know the details."

Jian Yue felt sorry.

Martha said, "But there are also surprises. When something happens in the church, nobles from many places will go there to pray. Sometimes they will also attend a dance with some nobles who have helped them. Oh, isn't there a dance tomorrow? I think she will attend it too."

It would be great if you could come and participate, at least then I would have some clues.

Jian Yue asked: "Then how did your hand get injured?"

Martha explained: "I was absent-minded after I came back and soiled the lady's skirt. The lady asked me why I was not paying attention. I told the truth, and the lady punished me to stand in the corner."

Jian Yue said: "If it's just a punishment of standing, what about your hand?"

Martha had a painful expression on her face. She said, "Because... because I was distracted, I cut my hand. I don't know why, but I've been feeling a little uneasy lately. Maria's condition improved yesterday, and her face has gotten much better, but she's not very happy every day. I asked about it, and the materials used to make holy water are very noble, and they are all sponsored by kind-hearted nobles. Maria is cared for by the church every day, so she should be fine, but I'm a little worried about her..."

Jian Yue said: "Maybe you are right. If you really think she is unhappy like this, I support you to take her home earlier."

Martha was a little surprised: "Really? You don't think my decision is crazy?"

"I think it's wrong to insist on doing something you know is wrong." Jian Yue said, "I think you just need to follow your heart."

Martha's eyes were slightly red.

Jian Yue said, "Your hand is still bleeding. Don't go to the doctor to use that ash to treat it. It would be more effective if you pick those herbs outside and grind them to make juice and apply it on your hands."

Martha was somewhat touched: "Why are you so nice to me?"

Jian Yue: "Because I still want to eat the buns you made in the kitchen. To be honest, I think the buns you make are the most delicious. Do you have any more tonight? If so, can you make a few more? I want to save some for Lord Wangjue."

Martha: “…”

Is this the point?

But when she thought of this, Martha felt relieved. There was no deliberate approach or exploitation. It was just pure friendship. Isn't that really good?

Martha walked out to the corridor and asked in confusion, "Which grass is it?"

Seeing that she really couldn't find it, Jian Yue walked over and squatted down. He picked a few grasses from the ground and handed them to her, saying, "Remember, this herb has the effect of stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation. Don't use lime to rub your wounds easily in the future. It can kill you."

He is a doctor, albeit a forensic pathologist, but some things he learned in elementary school have told him that it is impossible to watch patients being treated with the wrong methods and turn a blind eye.

Martha laughed and said, "Really? It turns out that this is possible! Then I must tell my mother. She is often injured and is always in pain."

Jian Yue briefly introduced her to several other herbs, and Martha learned them very seriously.

The audience in the live broadcast room said excitedly:

"Wow main plot."

"In the original novel, the heroine Martha eventually became a real doctor."

“Only those who feel kindness will pass on love to others!”

"Woo woo, our Butler Wang is so nice!"

Jian Yue was talking there when he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind. He looked back but couldn't feel where the chill came from. Until he looked up and met the red eyes upstairs, it was Chris looking at him by the window.

“…”

When did you stand there?

Jian Yue choked.

And then the next second.

Chris walked away, as if the person standing at the window glaring was not him.

When Martha looked over, there was no one by the window. She asked Jian Yue curiously, "What's wrong?"

Jian Yue sighed helplessly. Sometimes he would wonder if his decision was the right one. They finally met again in this life, was it really going to end like this?

Martha asked, "Where was His Royal Highness the Prince looking at us just now?"

Jian Yue suddenly became a little nervous. He asked, "Why do you say that?"

Martha smiled and said, "It's just a random guess. Actually, if you think about it, it's not very likely. His Royal Highness is of noble status, how could he pay attention to us two servants? If I tell anyone, no one will believe it. The status of these noble masters is very different from ours, and there will never be any intersection between us."

The more Jane thought about it.

You are absolutely right.

He and Chris may be destined not to be together. Their identities are too different. If they are together, Chris, who has already been subjected to rumors, will have to bear more pressure. Even in this era, perhaps the price they have to pay will be much greater, even the price of their lives.

He doesn't want him to be sad or in pain, he just wants him to live well.

Jian Yue regained his attention and said to Martha, "Actually, I need your help."

"What is it?" Martha asked.

Jian Yue walked back directly and picked up the Devil's Notes that he had placed under the corridor. After taking it, Jian Yue walked back again and asked Martha, "Can you read it to me? What is written on this page?"

Martha nodded when she heard that. Reading a book was just a small matter for her. Martha took the notebook and looked at it, but her face turned pale.

From her reaction, Jian Yue knew something was wrong.

Jian Yue asked: "What's wrong?"

Martha said, "This book says that there is a demon town in a distant continent. All the people in the town are demons. Because demons are difficult to control and have unstable temperaments, the demons were sealed up by the great wizard Migel. At that time, the exorcists tried countless methods to destroy this demon town, but they couldn't do anything because the demons here are immortal."

Jian Yue knew this was the point, so he asked, "Besides these?"

Martha immediately turned the page. She quickly read the information on the next page and said, "In order to prevent these immortal demons with high-level energy from causing harm to the world, the great wizard set up a cursed magic weapon in the center of the town. The magic weapon is called the Demon Suppression Pearl. This Demon Suppression Pearl absorbs the demon's evil spirit and suppresses the demons in the town. This magic weapon is..."

Jian Yue heard the most crucial point and asked quickly, "Where is it?"

Martha turned to another page and said, "The magic weapon is under the body of the great demon Zillia."

Zillia!

The sculpture yesterday was called Zilia.

Jian Yue's brain was spinning rapidly. This magic weapon was right under Qierlia. As everyone knew, Qierlia should not be outside, otherwise there would be no one alive outside. Then it might be true as the legend said, Qierlia was sealed by the devil bead..."

Martha hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet. She continued to read: "According to the book, the name of this devil town is Xilai..."

Talking and talking.

Martha suddenly stopped talking.

When Jian Yue looked at her with some doubt, Martha's face turned pale, and the corners of her lips kept trembling. After a long time, she said, "Xilai Town is our town."

Jian Yue: “…”

"There is a demon. It turns out there really is a demon." Martha said excitedly, "Then we are in danger!"

Jian Yue hurriedly caught the book she had thrown into the air, and then said to Martha, "Don't worry, the book says that all the demons in your village have been captured. What are you afraid of?"

Martha cried and said, "How could they be captured? Otherwise, why is there still demon disease? Isn't it because the demons have not been captured and are still causing it?"

Jian Yue said: "You are right. In this case, I must find an opportunity to go to the church again to see if the demon-subduing bead is really under the sculpture."

Martha asked curiously, "What sculpture?"

Jian Yue chuckled and said, "The main god you worship."

Martha: “…”

Who can understand this?

Two people were talking.

Jian Yue thought that the day was over, but he didn't expect the blond butler to appear out of nowhere. The blond butler looked at Jian Yue with the same angry eyes as a wife who caught her master cheating. He first glanced at her, then snorted coldly and said, "Hurry up, the master is hungry, heat up some food and send it over."

Martha nearly missed her kitchen work because of the interruption.

There were some toasted bread and sandwiches on the table next to him. Jian Yue said to Martha, "The Duke is seriously injured. You should cook more porridge. Oh, and don't add butter to the lean meat porridge and the dishes he eats. Too much oil is not good for his body as he is recovering from his injury."

The things she talked about were very diverse and most people couldn't remember them all at once.

Martha has an extraordinary memory: "Okay."

Jian Yue was originally watching how to make steamed buns. After all, he rarely had time. Seeing Jian Yue's eager eyes, Martha said, "I can teach you later."

Jian Yue smiled happily and said, "That's great."

Originally, I just took a look.

I didn’t expect Martha to be so honest.

Jian Yue was thinking when someone suddenly came in from outside. When the blond butler came to serve food and drinks, Jian Yue stood obediently beside him until the blond butler stopped in front of him and said, "Why are you still standing there? You are the slave of the prince. As his male servant, you must learn to guard your master at all times, understand?"

"Got it." Jian Yue said, "I'll be right there."

Then he followed the blond butler, but did not go upstairs, but to the garden downstairs. To be honest, Jian Yue rarely had the opportunity to come here.

Looked around.

After looking for a long time, I finally saw Chris. Chris was sitting next to a tree. The young and handsome prince was only wearing a simple coat and seemed to be waiting for someone.

Jian Yue took the initiative to walk over and said, "Your Highness, your lunch is here."

Chris didn't react. To be honest, the poor prince actually had some more important things to think about at this time. After thinking about it for an afternoon, Chris felt that Jian Yue had no reason at all to dislike him.

Considering that he was handsome, came from a good family, and was very nice to Jian Yue, he thought, there was no reason for him not to choose him.

Until this afternoon.

Seeing Jian Yue picking flowers and grass for others downstairs, Chris suddenly realized that he had been working in the wrong direction all along!

Look at the people next to you.

Chris suddenly said, "You've been in a cold war with me recently and the reason you've been indifferent to me is probably because of her, because of that maid."

Jian Yue was dumbfounded: "What maid?"

"It's the one from this afternoon." Chris looked at Jian Yue with bright eyes, but he whispered, "You like her, right? That's why you treat me like this."
