Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

Yan Ziwen nodded. Facing so many enemies, fighting hard would only exhaust his physical strength. He replied: "I can hold on for a while, but we must find a breakthrough as soon as possible."

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the other end of the banquet hall, as if someone had discovered something unusual here. Several palace guards in gorgeous uniforms quickly rushed over here, and their arrival undoubtedly brought pressure to the man in black.

The leader of the men in black saw this and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. He knew that if he continued to entangle here, not only would his identity be exposed, but it might also cause greater trouble. So he decisively waved his hand and signaled the others to retreat.

"You are lucky this time." After leaving these words, the leader of the men in black quickly disappeared into the crowd with his men.

Not long after the men in black left, the palace guards came to Shi Qi and the others. The captain of the guards stepped forward and asked, "Dear guests, what happened just now? Why did you use magic in the palace? Did you encounter any danger?"

Shi Qi replied: "I'm very sorry, we did encounter some accidents. However, thanks to your timely appearance, those uninvited guests have left."

Han Lin nodded politely and added, "Yes, we just came to attend the princess' birthday party and didn't expect to encounter something like this. Thank you for your protection, which keeps us safe."

Yan Ziwen put away his magic wand and showed his academy invitation letter to the captain of the guards to show their identities: "We are students of the Holy Light Magic Academy. This is my invitation letter. We promise to abide by the rules of the palace and not cause any trouble to the princess' birthday party."

The chief guard carefully checked Yan Ziwen's invitation letter, and after confirming that it was correct, he nodded and said, "So you are an outstanding student of the Holy Light Magic Academy. I am so sorry for the disrespect. Please rest assured that we will do our best to ensure the security of the palace and will not allow anything that threatens the safety of the guests to happen."

Then, the chief guard turned to Shi Qi and Han Lin and asked, "So, who are these two..."

Han Lin smiled and took out the family invitation from his pocket and handed it to the chief guard: "This is my family invitation. You can bring a friend in. This is Shi Qi, my companion."

The captain of the guards took the invitation and checked it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he returned the invitation to Han Lin: "So you are the son of the Duke. I am so sorry for your disrespect. Please continue to enjoy the princess' birthday party. If you need anything, please let us know at any time."

After the captain of the guards finished speaking, he left with his men, leaving behind Shi Qi, Han Lin and Yan Ziwen.

"Huh, I was really scared." Yan Ziwen patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect something like this to happen at the birthday party."

Shi Qi also nodded, "It seems that the 'Eye of Shadow' has begun to take action. We must be more careful."

Han Lin said: "That's right, we can't let them succeed. We must find clues about the 'Eye of Shadow' and stop their conspiracy."

The three of them cheered up and continued to look for clues in the banquet hall. They shuttled among the crowd, carefully observing everyone's expressions and behaviors, trying to find any clues related to the "Eye of Shadow".

At this moment, a woman in a gorgeous long dress caught their attention. She was standing in a corner of the banquet hall, talking with several noble-looking people. Her face was beautiful, but her eyes revealed an indescribable cunning.

"Look, isn't that person a little strange?" Yan Ziwen whispered to Han Lin and Shi Qi.

Han Lin followed Yan Ziwen's line of sight and nodded: "It's really strange. There's something malicious in her eyes. We have to be careful."

Shi Qi also frowned: "Yeah, I felt it too. We have to find a way to get close to her and see what she is doing."

So the three of them began to approach the woman cautiously, pretending to pass by her casually, trying to eavesdrop on her conversation with the nobles.

However, the woman seemed very alert and soon realized their intention. She suddenly turned around and stared at them sharply: "Who are you? Why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?"

Yan Ziwen said: "We are just curious, we have no ill intentions. May I ask who you are..."

The woman smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "I am Princess Sofia's cousin, Elena. Since you are here to attend the princess' birthday party, you should abide by the rules and not eavesdrop on other people's conversations."

Shi Qi also explained: "We are very sorry, we don't know your identity. We are just new here and don't know much about the rules of the palace. Please forgive our recklessness."

Elina seemed dissatisfied with their apology, but she did not pursue the matter further. She nodded slightly: "Forget it, I will forgive you this time. However, you must be more careful in the future. You are really uneducated, as expected of someone who has been raised outside. You don't have the manners of a duke's son at all... How come you didn't die outside for so long? I don't even know if the one you recognized as the duke's son is the duke's son. You have lowered our standards..."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Yan Ziwen called out to her, "What are you talking about? Apologize!"

Elina stopped and turned around with a disdainful smile on her face: "Oh? You want me to apologize? I'm afraid you don't know who you are facing?"

Yan Ziwen said, "Who are you? Are you important? I came to the palace to give the king some face. Who are you? Who gave you the courage to say that? I really gave you the face of the royal family. I was indulged for a while and thought I was afraid of you. You said such harsh words. I want to help you if you want to die."

Seeing this, Han Lin quickly stepped forward and grabbed Yan Ziwen's sleeve, signaling him not to be impulsive. "Ziwen, it's okay, don't worry about her, I don't care."

Han Lin's words were like a gentle force, gently calming the anger in Yan Ziwen's heart. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Although there was still some reluctance in his eyes, he did not continue to argue.

"Okay, for Han Lin's sake, I won't bother with you this time." Yan Ziwen suppressed his anger and said to Elena, but there was still a hint of imperceptible provocation in his tone.

Elina looked at the three of them, and a sneer appeared on her lips: "Humph, considering your attitude is relatively sincere, I won't bother with you. However, you'd better remember your identity and don't cause trouble here."

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave, but suddenly stopped and looked back at Han Lin: "You, the Duke's son, I heard that you have been wandering outside and only recently returned to the family. I tell you, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are back in the family. This is not a place for you to run wild."

"Say it again? Then I'll grant your wish." As he spoke, water came out of Han Lin's hands.

Elina was obviously shocked by the ability that Han Lin suddenly displayed. Her face changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, with an even more obvious sneer on the corner of her mouth: "Humph, quite interesting, it turns out that the Duke's son is not a simple character. But do you think you can scare me like this?"

"Who wants to scare you? If you don't leave now, you don't have to leave." Yan Ziwen snorted coldly.

The atmosphere was tense, and the nobles who were originally chatting around also cast curious and surprised looks. Elina realized that if she continued like this, it might attract more unnecessary attention, so she snorted and decided to take a step back for the time being.

"Okay, for the sake of so many people today, I won't bother with you." Elina waved her hand in a magnanimous manner, but a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, "But you'd better remember that the palace is not a place where you can act wild as you please."

After saying that, she turned around and left with a bit of arrogance. Shi Qi, Han Lin and Yan Ziwen looked at each other. Although they were all unwilling in their hearts, they also understood that it was not appropriate to continue to entangle with her at this time.

"Let's go and continue looking for clues." Han Lin spoke first, his voice calm and firm, as if the previous episode had never happened.

Although Yan Ziwen was still a little indignant, he knew that Han Lin was right, so he nodded, and the three of them once again blended into the crowd at the banquet.
