Chapter 60: The True Face

Just as the group was eating happily, the Old Mage came looking for them in a rage. Fuming with anger, he went straight to Old Xie and roared: “You brat, how dare you even hit the Princess?”

Old Xie shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly, “I didn’t want to hit a woman either? But she insisted on dueling me, and I even let her make the first move!”

“What exactly happened?” the Old Mage asked dissatisfied.

“I sat in the back, and she said I embarrassed her? Damn it, what does she think she is?” Old Xie said unconvinced: “So when that little girl nagged at me, I cursed her. Hey, as a result, this dead girl wasn’t convinced and actually insisted on dueling me? Damn, a cat actually dares to bare its teeth at a tiger. If it were you, could you tolerate it?”

“Oh~” The Old Mage was first stunned. Only then did he remember that the beautiful Little Princess was not an honest character either. Basically, the disasters she had caused in the past were dozens of times more than Old Xie. It seemed that he only blaming Old Xie was not very kind. So the Old Mage asked doubtfully, “But no matter what, she is a little girl, and also your fiancée’s Younger Sister. You can’t beat her to the point of incontinence, right? How can she face people in the future?”

“I didn’t know that would happen either?” Old Xie scratched his scalp innocently and said: “You know the power of my Lightning, right? If I hadn’t tried my best to reduce the power, she would have more than just incontinence? She would have been directly turned into charcoal!”

“Sigh!” The Old Mage also knew that Old Xie was telling the truth. It was not good to say anything now, so he could only say depressingly: “It’s really troublesome! You don’t know, the Little Princess’s identity itself is not very troublesome. After all, the Royal Family has to give me some face. For this small matter, as long as I make a trip personally, it will be fine. But the trouble is the Little Princess’s teacher, that Ice Magic Saint, Rui Li. This woman is a famous miser, and extremely protective. She likes the Little Princess immensely, almost treating her as her own daughter. Now that you have done such an excessive thing, oh my, I’m afraid she won’t let it go.”

“Cheh? Am I afraid of her?” Old Xie said disdainfully: “I dare to beat the little one, so I don’t care about the old one. What damn Ice Magic Saint, if she has the guts, let her come. Just with my group of underlings, I can directly beat her until she can’t find her way.”

“No way?” The Old Mage hurriedly said: “Don’t use these little guys of yours? That will cause a sensation.”

“Not use them? Do you expect me to get beaten?” Old Xie rolled his eyes at him and said: “I’m only thirteen this year. You want me to go and fight to the death with an old hag who has cultivated to the age of seventy or eighty?”

“This~” The Old Mage touched his chin and suddenly said: “Given the Ice Magic Saint Rui Li’s status and position, she wouldn’t come to find you herself. She will probably find a way to let the Little Princess vent her anger herself.”

“Hmm?” Old Xie immediately got excited and said: “Just with that little girl, she can take advantage of me?”

“The key is they don’t know!” The Old Mage smiled bitterly: “If they knew you are a pervert who can even instantly kill a Level 5 Warrior, they probably wouldn’t be so rampant. However, in their eyes, you are at most a small Magic Apprentice. There are too many ways to deal with you. Not to mention anything else, just say the Little Princess challenges you to a Duel, you can’t refuse. At that time, they can easily finish off a Magic Apprentice with just a few tricks.”

“Hmm? Duel? That’s good then. Duel it is, who’s afraid of who?” Old Xie heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he laughed: “However, dueling with me requires a bet. Hehe, how about we partner up and scheme them together?”

“This~” The Old Mage touched his beard and said: “The two of us big men, calculating two women together, isn’t that very unkind?”

“Are you a kind person?” Old Xie rolled his eyes at him directly.

“Cough cough! I am of course a kind person!” The Old Mage immediately coughed in embarrassment, and then said: “But, the problem isn’t here. The key is, how do you win against her? If you use your tyrannical strength to win directly, at most you win some pocket money, and it also exposes your strength. The loss outweighs the gain, right?”

“Then what should we do according to you?” Old Xie said.

“If you can pretend to be weak each time, but still win by coincidence or using conspiracy and tricks, then given the Ice Magic Saint Rui Li’s temper, she will definitely challenge repeatedly. At that time, I will provoke them with words, and I’m not afraid she won’t bring out her hidden good stuff!” The Old Mage immediately said with a sinister smile.

“Damn, you are even more ruthless than me? This is intentionally setting a trap for them to fall into!” Old Xie couldn’t help but laugh and curse: “And you have the nerve to say you are kind?”

“Cough cough!” The Old Mage then smiled bitterly and helplessly: “No way, who told that dead girl Rui Li to always take advantage of me? Over these years, I don’t know how many good things she has blackmailed from me! If I can’t scheme against her once, I won’t be able to close my eyes even if I die!”

“Haha!” Old Xie couldn’t help but laugh loudly: “Is it that serious? Fine, I’ll help you vent your anger!”

“Oh?” Upon hearing this, the Old Mage immediately asked in surprise: “You have a way to make them take the bait?”

“No problem!” Old Xie laughed: “No matter what tricks they play, I can defeat that little girl with a 4-second Lightning Spell.”

“Really?” The Old Mage heard this and immediately said excitedly: “If that’s really the case, they will definitely take the bait!”

“Of course it’s true, when have I ever lied to you?” Old Xie smiled slightly, then said: “However, I have two conditions!”

“Two conditions?” The Old Mage immediately frowned: “That many?”

“This is still many? Me helping you fight is definitely not just twice!” Old Xie said in annoyance.

“Okay, okay, let’s hear them first!” The Old Mage hurriedly comforted.

“First, the things you win, I want half!” Old Xie then said directly: “Don’t bargain with me? Don’t forget, the one fighting is me!”

“Alright, alright!” Seeing Old Xie’s posture, the Old Mage knew he definitely could not push for any additional conditions, so he could only nod in agreement with a bitter smile.

“Second, um, you come with me.” Old Xie said, taking the Old Mage alone to a secluded room, then took out a pitch-black dagger and tossed it over, saying: “Help me check, what kind of broken thing is this?” That dagger was exactly what he had looted from the Augustus Family’s warehouse.

The Old Mage took it and looked carefully, immediately exclaiming in surprise: “To think it is this treasure, goodness, where did you get this?”

“What exactly is this thing?” Old Xie asked impatiently.

“It is called the Escape Dagger, also known as the Blink Dagger or Flickering Dagger. Legend has it that it is the masterpiece of a space-element Alchemy Master from three thousand years ago, capable of allowing a person to perform Instant Transmission within a visual range of 1200 meters!” The Old Mage stroked the dagger and said with a face full of joy: “Although it needs a five-minute cooldown time after each use, this is absolutely a super treasure for escaping, sneak attacks, and pursuit. Great, hey, let’s discuss it, why don’t you give this thing to me?”
