"I swear it's really him," Terry said as he took out a knife and cut open his palm. As Terry pulled the blood, it gathered in the air and formed a strange pattern.

"If I lied to you, let my soul be devoured by the devil after I die." After saying this, the pattern turned into blood and flowed back into Terry's body.

"Tsk tsk tsk... It's amazing that an assassin like you can actually learn the Soul Blood Oath. I don't know whether I should praise you for your genius or your talent."

"I know the answer. Don't worry, I will keep my promise." After saying that, he turned and left.

"Kleister Peters, I don't know what hatred we have, but you are harming me like this."

On the way back, Lin Xingchen felt very strange. As a king, he should have a patrol team, but the battle between him and those assassins took about an hour, which was quite a lot of noise, but there was not a single team of people passing by.

This shouldn't be the case even at the edge of the woods, after all, the flames of fire magic cannot be concealed.

With the element of wind under his feet, it was basically like riding a bicycle. He hurried home and the sound of banging on the door woke up the servants. Arnold frowned as he looked at Lin Xingchen's coat.

"My little master had a lot of fun outing this time. He is now covered in mud. Go wash up and have some rest."

"I noticed that Arnold noticed something, but Lin Xingchen didn't say anything. Oh, it's just a small accident, don't worry about it."

After washing up, I went straight to bed. Tonight's things cannot be finished in a short time. Anyway, there is no rush and I have time to play slowly.

Early the next morning, Arnold personally drove Lin Xingchen to the college. The old man still had a lot of ideas in his mind.

"My little master, no matter how you play at any time, the first thing you need to do is to ensure your own safety."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Arnold. I know. Besides, if I want to escape, I don't think anyone can stop me."

"Go ahead. Although college life is not suitable for you, it is a good thing for you to make more friends, little master."

After entering the college, Lin Xingchen seldom goes to morning classes now, which is also approved by Teacher Buck. He goes directly to the library and then comes back to cook. He is actually very satisfied with this kind of life.

Evelin had been silent throughout the meal, and usually she was the one who spoke, but today it was so unusual that Lin Xingchen was a little puzzled.

"Why aren't you talking today? Normally, you should have asked me where I went yesterday!"

With her mouth puffed up, Evelin angrily asked back, "If I ask you, will you tell me?"

"Didn't I tell you about your question? Yesterday, Avril and the others invited me to her store, where we talked quite late.

Then I went home to sleep. It was Grandpa Arnold who brought me here this morning. If you don’t believe me, go back and ask me if I was lying to you.”

“Really?” Evelin was a little unconvinced.

"Lying to you is like a puppy."

"It's okay. I was just worried that you wouldn't be able to sleep well outside."

"By the way, Evelyn, you've been in the capital longer than I have. Let me ask you, have you ever heard of a man named Crest Peters?"

"I've never heard of Kleist, but I know the current Prime Minister has this last name. Do you want me to find out for you?"

"No, you'll probably have to eat in the cafeteria these days. I have some things to take care of these days."

"What are you doing?"

"Don't worry, I have important things to do. First, it's about business. Second, I also want to see the situation in the capital to see if there is any suitable business. As for the last thing, I plan to go fishing."

They rode in a carriage all the way to Evelyn's Chamber of Commerce. Evelin, as a socialite in the capital, didn't know, but they definitely knew the name.

Lin Xingchen's arrival was welcomed by some people who had heard his performance yesterday, and some ladies even asked him directly if he would continue to perform today.

The one who received Lin Xingchen was the eldest sister Eddie, whose real name was May Eddie. Her husband was a marquis, but unfortunately he died of illness many years ago. Since her husband had no family, the final title fell on her.

According to continental tradition, such inheritance requires a downgrade, so Eddie was transformed from a marquise into an earl.

Because she has no children, she can be said to be the target of the most sympathy among all the women in the royal capital.

The empire would not lose any lives after a war. The husband of the second sister Ada Gerard was on the list, and she also received her husband's viscount title and everyone's sympathy. As a person who had experienced it, Eddie knew very well how to comfort people.

Anna Duncan also got her husband's second-class title. Unlike her second sister, Anna's new husband was promoted to a noble after returning from the war. He became jealous of others and died under the sword of the opponent in a fight.

Eve's situation was even more special. Her fiancé was invincible on the battlefield, but was hit by magic in the end and it was said that even his body was never found.

When Eve learned that her political marriage partner had ascended to heaven, she directly announced that she would not cancel the marriage.

This was done to resist the next political marriage in the family and to give himself a good personal environment. Eddie told him all these things.

"Anna and Avril are both very interested in you. I think you can even choose one of them directly when you come of age. Of course, if you are capable of taking both of them, I think Duke Green will not refuse."

"Sister Eddie, how do you guess that my grandfather won't refuse?"

"I can't say much about this matter. You'd better go back and ask the Duke first. Of course, the position of Madam should go to one of your girlfriends."

"It seems that my grandfather's marriage proposal has already been sent to you. By the way, Sister Eddie, I wonder if you have some suitable candidates. I want to help my grandfather find a few companions. It would be best if they are younger. I don't mind having a few more uncles or aunts."

"I dare not do that. I'm afraid the Duke will kill me. You should handle it yourself."

"Sister Eddie is asking you about a man named Chryst Peters. Have you ever heard of him or know him?"

“Yes, he is the eldest son of the current Prime Minister and is currently serving as the highest officer in the Royal Capital Inspection Team.

The most important thing is that he likes Avril very much and has proposed to her in public more than once, but Avril has rejected him. This man is your biggest competitor. "

"The Prime Minister must be quite old. How old is he this year?"

"Thirty-five. Actually, he was originally the second. He became the first heir of the Peters family only after his brother died of illness."

"From what you said, Avril should be quite old!"

"Hey... it's very rude to ask a beautiful lady's age, little guy."

"When did I think of myself as a noble? Etiquette is for those who are higher than you. As for yourself, it's better to live a relaxed and comfortable life."

Knowing why he was assassinated, Lin Xingchen also figured out why there was no patrol team at that time. Although he had long thought that this person might be a capable person, since he was a high-ranking second-generation, he could not act so directly.

Avril and the other three had gone to deal with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. Since no one was around, it would be difficult to fish without bait.

"Sister Eddie, I'll come again in three days." After saying hello to Eddie, Lin Xingchen went back.

A few days later, Eve sent someone to pick him up. After that, they often appeared in the capital. Finally, there were rumors that the two most beautiful flowers in the kingdom were picked by a little magician from the countryside.

For more than a month, the assassination of the person Lin Xingchen expected did not happen, or the person himself did not appear in front of Lin Xingchen.

According to Anna, as long as this Crest is free, he will definitely come to see Avril.

The bait was ready and sufficient, but there were no fish. As a fisherman who often came up empty-handed, Lin Xingchen was already used to this kind of thing.

Holding the fishing rod in his hand and watching Anna catching fish continuously, Lin Xingchen had the urge to cast a spell.

"Lin, can I ask you something?" Lin Xingchen suggested going out fishing today, but Avril didn't have time and Anna happened to have time, so they came together.

"Tell me about it. If it's simple, I'll answer you."

"Have you fought with Crest?"

"Why do you ask? I haven't even met him."

"For more than a month, you've allowed us to take you around everywhere, which is totally different from your personality. You're the type of person who likes to stay still.

And you were intentionally making some intimate moves with Avril, but I can see that you didn't want to take advantage of her at all. Before you got together, you asked me something about Crest, so I boldly guessed that there must be something wrong between you and he was the one who suffered the loss."

He put his arm around Ana's shoulders and whispered in her ear, "I don't think I've ever neglected you. To be honest, you are the most imaginative woman I've ever met, and you are also a woman with great observation skills. I have the urge to marry you."

"Then you might be in trouble, because your girlfriend may not agree. And what are you going to do with Avril? You have to know that you are actually hurting her by using her like this."

"We'll talk about the future later. Anyway, now I just want to fish and I just want to catch a big fish."

"Lin, you know, you are a real bastard, a bastard that a woman can't get rid of once she becomes curious about you, but those women are still willing to pay for you."

"Why? You've already called me a jerk, so no woman would like me!"

"Because you have a special temperament, everyone who gets close to you is unknowingly led astray by you."

"Are you in here?"

"you guess!"

"Guess if I guess!"

"Hmph... Sometimes we all forget your age without realizing it. It's like your appearance is just a disguise, but what you are like inside is really curious."
