Song Jiao raised her hand lazily, and her slender fingers gently shook the exquisite bell.
As the crisp bell rang, a group of maids quickly filed out from all corners and stood in front of her in an orderly manner.
The one leading the group was the maid who had just prepared lunch for everyone. She smiled and asked respectfully, "Miss Song, do you have any instructions?"
Song Jiao frowned slightly and pointed at Lin Mian who was still chattering not far away. "It's too noisy over there. It seriously affects my rest."
When the maid heard this, her eyes instantly turned cold.
She turned to look at Lin Mian and said stiffly, "Miss, please leave here immediately and don't disturb Miss Song's rest."
Lin Mian was stunned, obviously not expecting to be targeted suddenly.
She was about to open her mouth to protest when the maid spoke again, her voice revealing an undeniable authority: "Rule ten: you must not disturb the guests of the castle. Please obey the rules, or we will take necessary measures."
Lin Mian bit his lower lip, his face turning pale and blue.
Under the maid's gaze, she finally turned away helplessly, her heart filled with resentment and doubt.
As Lin Mian left, the insults on the barrage followed.
However, Song Jiao seemed not to have heard it, and looked at the maid calmly, "It's okay, thank you."
The maid smiled slightly and said, "Miss Song, you are so polite. If you need anything, you can always call us."
After saying this, she led the other maids and left, and the entire garden returned to peace again.
Song Jiao opened the system screen and began to browse the comments. She discovered that the Void did not seem to exist in this world, and therefore, there was no such thing as a World Crystal.
She curled her lips, feeling a little bored.
I simply turned off the barrage and started studying the blessing skills I had obtained before.
She raised her hand and silently recited a blessing for Lin Mian in her heart: "I wish Lin Mian extreme bad luck." The next second, the four big words "Blessings for Success" appeared on the system screen.
Song Jiao's lips curled up into a playful smile, as if she had foreseen Lin Mian's tragic fate.
At this time, Lin Mian had no idea that he had become Song Jiao's "experimental subject".
She left the garden angrily, and her resentment towards Song Jiao grew deeper.
Back in the bustling crowd, Lin Mian frowned, looking unhappy.
Her expression immediately attracted the attention of others, and everyone gathered around, curiously asking about Song Jiao's situation.
"Lin Mian, what's wrong? What happened to Song Jiao?" someone asked anxiously.
Lin Mian lowered his eyes, pretending to be aggrieved but unwilling to say more. "Oh, forget it, don't mention it. She is now an honored guest of the castle. It's better for us, little people, not to disturb her."
"She has become a distinguished guest? Did she offer to help us?" another person asked anxiously, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.
Lin Mian shook his head slightly, his voice choking with sobs. "Don't count on it, everyone. The chances of becoming a distinguished guest are slim to begin with. Now that she doesn't have to die, she naturally doesn't have to worry about those of us who are still struggling."
These words immediately aroused the anger of the crowd.
They felt that Song Jiao was too selfish and actually ignored her companions who entered the dungeon together.
"How can she be so selfish? We entered the dungeon together, she should help us!" someone shouted angrily.
"Yes, yes! People like that don't deserve to be with us!" another person echoed.
Everyone expressed their intention to isolate Song Jiao and leave her helpless in the dungeon.
Although there were a few wise viewers in the barrage who pointed out Lin Mian’s hypocrisy, their voices were quickly drowned out by the insults against Song Jiao.
Looking at everyone's angry expressions, Lin Mian lowered his head, but the corners of his mouth rose.
She was secretly proud in her heart: Song Jiao, I will make sure that you can’t live a normal life after you go back!
At this moment, a loud voice suddenly rang out: "Everyone, be quiet! Listen to me!"
Everyone turned their heads to look, their eyes focused on the tall and strong-looking man—Shen Jin.
He is like a mountain, steady and firm, giving people an endless sense of security.
Shen Jin looked around, then spoke in a deep and powerful voice: "This task is actually not complicated. You don't need to pay too much attention to other factors. Just follow my arrangements."
When Lin Mian saw Shen Jin, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Like a cheerful little bird, she skipped to Shen Jin and said coquettishly, "You are finally back. You don't know how dangerous last night was."
Shen Jin looked at Lin Mian with tenderness in his eyes, "I'm back, everything will be fine. I'll take care of Song Wanqing, you don't have to worry."
After hearing this, Lin Mian's face bloomed with a bright smile, "Yeah, I believe you! You are always so great!" Her words were full of admiration and trust for Shen Jin.
At this time, Song Wanqing was still looking forward to Shen Jin's attention, but she didn't expect that Shen Jin had already stood on the opposite side of her.
After arranging everything, Shen Jin walked towards the garden and found Song Jiao, who was leisurely enjoying afternoon tea. He stood in front of Song Jiao and greeted her with a smile: "Long time no see, Miss Song."
Song Jiao raised her eyes to glance at Shen Jin, then lowered them again, continuing to stir the spoon with her slender, white fingers, and said lightly: "We don't seem to be familiar with each other, right?"
For Song Jiao now, without the rescue drama, Shen Jin is like a stranger.
Shen Jin paused slightly, then said, "Even if we weren't familiar with each other before, we are acquainted now. Since you have become a distinguished guest of the castle, can you provide us with some convenience? As far as I know, distinguished guests will receive many preferential treatments here."
He paused and continued, "As long as you ask, they will tell you everything. It's a win-win situation, why not?"
Song Jiao put down the spoon in her hand, held her chin with both hands, and looked at Shen Jin sarcastically, "I really don't understand what you are barking about! Why do you think I will help you?"
Her words were full of disdain and provocation.
Shen Jin was shocked by Song Jiao's words, but quickly regained his composure, "Miss Song, we just hope you can provide some help. After all, you are a distinguished guest and have the ability to do so."
Song Jiao sneered, "Distinguished guests? So what? Why should I help you? What's in it for me?"
Shen Jin was speechless for a moment when asked by Song Jiao. He really didn't expect Song Jiao to reject him so directly.
He took a deep breath and said, "Miss Song, we can negotiate terms. As long as you are willing to help, we can agree to any reasonable request of yours."
After hearing this, Song Jiao's lips curled up into a playful smile, "Oh? Any request? Do you think I need your money? Or do you need you to help me through the dungeon?"
