Upon hearing Jiang Zheyu's words, Hui's expression instantly turned cold. His gray-white eyes looked eerie and terrifying as he stared at her icyly: "How do you know I came from the slums?"
A cold, accusatory question, word by word.
Jiang Zheyu had no idea what was wrong with these people's thought process. How could they have the nerve to coldly question her?
However, this is indeed a bit hard to explain. Logically speaking, she shouldn't know Gray, let alone Gray's origins and background.
"What, did I hit a nerve?" Jiang Zheyu asked instead of answering.
"You are very good!" Hui Qiji laughed coldly, his gray-white eyes staring coldly at Jiang Zheyu as he slowly walked towards her.
Jiang Zheyu's brows furrowed slightly.
Could it be that she touched a nerve with this person, so he's coming to beat her up?
When Hui walked over, Xiao Luo quickly stepped out and stood in front of Jiang Zheyu. Despite her slender frame, she resolutely opened her arms to shield Jiang Zheyu.
The boy was about the same height as Jiang Zheyu, and his build wasn't much taller or stronger. His mental strength was even lower than Jiang Zheyu's, yet this weak rabbit-beastman stood in front of her.
Jiang Zheyu looked at Xiao Luo's pink hair with mixed feelings.
"Grey Butler, what are you doing?" Xiao Luo looked up at Grey.
When Hui saw Xiao Luo standing in front of Jiang Zheyu, he stopped in his tracks.
"Why are you so nervous?" Gray's expression was unreadable, and his voice was even more ambiguous. "I just want to get closer and say a few words to the female."
“There is a difference between men and women. Even if you stand there, His Highness Zheyu can hear you. There’s no need to get so close,” Xiao Luo said calmly, without a trace of fear in her expression.
"You, a mere steward, dare to meddle in your master's affairs?" Gray sneered. "Didn't the steward school teach you not to interfere in your master's business? Don't you want to work in the palace anymore?"
Xiao Luo paused slightly upon hearing this. As an outstanding graduate of the butler school, he naturally knew that butlers were not allowed to interfere in their masters' affairs.
Jiang Zheyu quickly pulled Xiao Luo behind him, looked at Hui, and said sarcastically, "This is my person, what right do you have to interfere?"
"I was just reminding him," Gray retorted sarcastically, his tone indifferent.
"Well, you're really meddling in other people's business." Jiang Zheyu chuckled lightly, his meaning ambiguous.
"You really are sharp-tongued, which is quite unpleasant." Gray-eyed staring intently at Jiang Zheyu, like a dark monster that seemed to want to tear him apart, he slowly spoke each word clearly, "I'll remember you. I hope you'll still be just as sharp-tongued when we meet again."
Jiang Zheyu always had a feeling that this person would try to ambush her when no one was around.
Even knowing that this person's methods were despicable and dishonorable, Jiang Zheyu was not afraid; she would not swallow this insult.
"I'm leaving." Yanluo finally spoke at this moment, her expression extremely cold. "Don't waste my time anymore."
"Mm," Gray responded.
Yanluo walked ahead first, and Hui followed behind. However, before leaving, he gave Jiang Zheyu a meaningful and dangerous look.
"Look, look, look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!" Since Jiang Zheyu had already offended everyone, he didn't mind offending them even more. He vented all his dissatisfaction, "You filthy little rat, you're the filthy little rat, your whole family are filthy little rats!"
Whew~
I finally said those words to them in person.
Cool!
Upon hearing this, Gray's eyebrows twitched violently, his gray-white eyes becoming even more ruthless, and his fists clenched tightly.
He had originally planned to teach this female a lesson in secret, but now that she was provoking him so much, he wished he could just go over and kill her.
"Say that again if you dare?" Gray turned around and stared intently at Jiang Zheyu.
Yanlu grabbed Hui's arm and frowned slightly: "Alright, I don't have time to play with you here anymore."
Hui frowned, his breathing seemed to become heavy, as if he was quite angry at Jiang Zheyu's words, but he could only glare at Jiang Zheyu without saying anything more before leaving with Yanluo.
Jiang Zheyu also withdrew his gaze, saying that calling him a dirty little mouse was an insult to mice.
"Let's go, let's continue to the White Building." Jiang Zheyu glanced at Xiao Luo beside her.
"Your Highness Zheyu, should we go and tell His Highness Jinyu about what happened today?" Xiao Luo looked at Jiang Zheyu with some worry, afraid that Hui might do something to His Highness Zheyu behind his back.
"Oh, if you're worried, you can talk to His Highness Jin Yu about it." Jiang Zheyu didn't seem to care.
Even if she told Jin Yu, that Hui probably wouldn't let her off the hook, since in the novel he's portrayed as someone who holds grudges and seeks revenge.
"Alright, Xiao Luo will report this matter to His Highness Jin Yu," Xiao Luo replied.
He had heard that the people who had joined the Star Pirates were originally space pirates, so he was naturally afraid that these people would be a threat to His Highness Zheyu.
Before long, Xiao Luo brought Jiang Zheyu to the White Building.
This white building is more than ten stories high, and its exterior walls are all painted white, which is indeed very fitting for the name "White Building".
The white building was surrounded by guards, and there were even surveillance cameras flying in the sky, indicating that the security was extremely tight.
They were probably afraid that the orcs inside would come out and hurt people.
Xiao Luo led Jiang Zheyu through the main gate.
"Who goes there?" The guards blocked their way.
Xiao Luo then told the orc about how Prince Jin Yu had sent them to purify the area. Jin Yu had already made arrangements beforehand, so after the guards confirmed everything was correct, they led them inside.
The white building is not only painted white on the outside, but also has white walls inside, and even the floor tiles are white.
The guards led them to a room, which was also guarded by guards.
There were guards outside almost every room.
The guard outside opened the door.
"Please wait a moment, female. We'll administer a sedative to the commander first." The orc guard placed his right hand on his left chest and leaned slightly forward in front of Jiang Zheyu.
Jiang Zheyu waited at the door. Since they had their own procedures, she would just follow them.
She was also afraid that if she couldn't control the person, she would be hurt in return.
After all, this is a 3S-level male orc.
All the beastmen around the little princess of the empire are beastmen with level 3 mental strength, and they were all beastmen who were commanders before.
So let's have the guard give her a sedative first, and then she can go over and perform the purification.
