Elemental Light Mage

"Uh-huh, it's really——"

Xi Yeming vaguely opened his eyes and sat up. As soon as his consciousness left the abyss of chaos, he felt a pressure on his legs.

what?

Xi Yeming rubbed his eyes and looked towards his thigh. The sleeping Binai was lying on his leg.

"This girl..."

Xi Yeming pulled the quilt over and carefully covered Bi Nai. Then Xi Yeming found a pillow and put it under his daughter's head. He tried his best not to wake his daughter up.

Looking at his daughter's sleeping face, Xi Yeming cheered up a little.

He already knew the stories of Neuhak, Miriam Ellu, and even his grandfather Leon. Now Xi Yeming was thinking about how things should develop next.

A slight sound came from Xi Yeming's hand, and Ah Liang brought a bowl of hot porridge and placed it next to Xi Yeming.

Ah Liang said: "Lord Shengyi, would you like to eat something?"

Xi Yeming glanced at the steaming rice porridge in front of Ah Liang.

"How can I be sure you didn't poison me?"

In fact, Xi Yeming could detect most poisons based on their smell and color. If they didn't enter his mouth, he could just rely on the taste and spit them out immediately. However, Xi Yeming just took the opportunity to tease Ah Liang for fun.

Ah Liang: (°ー°〃)

Xi Yeming grinned and questioned, "What's that expression on your face? Are you really poisoned?"

Ah Liang's expression returned to normal and he said, "No, it's just that Lord Shengyi's personality is beyond my expectation."

Xi Yeming:?

"I thought the Holy Spirits were all noble people, but I didn't expect that there would be someone like Lord Holy Spirit."

Another question mark rose above Xi Yeming's head. Did he not understand what A Liang wanted to do, to criticize himself?

"Scared like a little kid."

"..."

Xi Yeming's eyes were full of coldness.

Does Ah Liang's words mean that he is being treated like a little brat?

"Ah, no, I want to say that Master Shengyi is very cute, like a child."

Ah Liang's explanation became darker and darker, and Xi Yeming's expression became more and more constipated.

Xi Yeming finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Ah Liang, "Okay, don't talk anymore."

One of the three things Xi Yeming can't stand the most is criticizing his appearance. (The other two incidents are related to parents and teachers and being teased by a bad woman)

Ah Liang looked at Xi Yeming who looked slightly frustrated, and then started to talk about what he wanted to say.

"Lord Shengyi should know about Haihun Town, right?"

"Of course, what's wrong?"

How could Xi Yeming not know about Xue just from Haihun Town?

"I also saw the news published in the newspaper and exchanged letters with my family. In fact, my family asked me to fight for it to be your maid."

Ah Liang revealed the real reason why she became Xi Yeming's maid.

Xi Yeming muttered in his heart: "Damn, why are the messengers walking faster than us?"

"Everyone, the residents of Haihun Town are very grateful to Lord Shengyi, and I am also very grateful to Lord Shengyi because you saved my hometown."

Xi Yeming remained silent and looked away.

"Just like in a dream, I am serving the ten true wills of the Holy Will."

"So what do you want to say?"

It's not that Xi Yeming doesn't understand the style, it's that he really doesn't know how to deal with such an occasion.

"A Liang just saw that Master Shengyi seemed to be troubled about something, so he wanted to help Master Shengyi solve his doubts."

Xi Yeming had no intention of dragging a maid into his "household affairs", "Don't go overboard, just do your thing well."

"Lord Shengyi seems to look down on Ah Liang. Is it because Ah Liang is just a maid?"

"I didn't..." Xi Yeming was about to defend but ran out of words, "Okay, give you three minutes to enlighten me. If you can really satisfy me, I will grant your wish."

"two."

Xi Yeming was speechless. This seemed to be the first time someone had bargained with him since he came to the magic world. "Okay, just two."

"Okay, Lord Shengyi has made a decision."

"Then tell me."

Xiye Ming had to see what Ah Liang could say about why he came today.

"Why is Lord Shengyi troubled?"

Xi Yeming replied: "This is my private matter and it's not convenient to talk about it."

"Is it because of differences with the queen?"

Xi Yeming murmured in disbelief: "How did you know?"

"As a maid at a hot spring hotel, I discovered that a guest suspected of having silver hair came here long before you came. I am afraid that the only person with silver hair who is likely to be related to you today is the Queen."

"……go on."

It's strange. It's obviously just ordinary reasoning, but Xi Yeming is looking forward to what A Liang will say next.

"You must actually want to have a good relationship with the Queen in your heart, right?"

"You are quite brave, you dare to speculate on my thoughts."

Obviously, Ah Liang was right.

Deep down in Xi Yeming's heart, he just didn't want to be an enemy of the emperor and empress. After all, they were his biological parents, the blood relatives he had dreamed of for more than ten years.

But this longing is always at odds with my position as the intersection of the world, torturing each other in my heart.

"Ah Liang doesn't dare. Ah Liang only knows that Shengyi is different from the emperor. Lord Shengyi will never chop off Ah Liang's head because of such a thing."

"You are quite confident..."

"Perhaps Lord Shengyi is worried about the war launched by various countries on the border of the world a year ago?"

Xi Yeming no longer teased A Liang about his questions. He found that the other party really answered his question correctly. Xi Yeming unknowingly corrected his attitude and listened to A Liang's words.

"The Holy Intention can't figure out what to do, so he keeps traveling on Gilligat. In fact, he wants the emperor, who is his father, to notice his behavior."

"...!" Xi Yeming finally reacted after hearing this, "I said, don't be too smart."

"Lord Shengyi, why don't you go find out for yourself?"

"Find out what?"

"The Emperor and the Empress' Views."

"what……?"

"Instead of waiting for an uncertain answer, it is better to use your own eyes to judge. When you are isolated and helpless, only your own answer is the most important."

Xi Yeming refuted: "You said it lightly, but the emperor had a bad attitude towards me beforehand."

Ah Liang asked in return: "Can Lord Shengyi guarantee that that is the emperor's true thoughts?"

"..." Xi Yeming's face showed confusion and hesitation, but soon it showed an expression of sudden realization, and even his eyes were extremely clear.

"Just like Master Shengyi, everyone thinks that the Ten Wills are out of reach, but Lord Shengyi is extremely considerate of people's sentiments and cares about people's livelihood. There is a magic who is more worthy of the title of Ten Wills than you. Teacher?"

"Humph," Xi Yeming laughed out loud in anger, "How can you enlighten me? You are obviously trying to make me happy and flatter me."

"Everything depends on human effort. I believe Lord Shengyi will understand the reason behind this."

Now that things have come to this, Xi Yeming smiled and said with relief: "You... are a bit interesting, but it would be a pity to just be a maid."
