"Why not have a al at my place before you leave?"
"Little girl, what kind of tricks are you up to? Let tell you, Master has walked more roads than you have. Don’t think about fooling Master." Despite the Weirdo having no limbs, he was quite sharp.
"Master, you’re really misunderstanding . As the saying goes, guests are like family. Since you’ve co to our ho, it’s only right to offer you a al."
The Weirdo was highly suspicious: "Is that really so?"
Xuexue looked earnest: "Of course, I never lie."
Weirdo: "I bet I’m not the first one you’ve tricked, am I?"
"Haha, Master, you have a great sense of humor." This Weirdo was quite clever, Xuexue couldn’t help but laugh.
Suddenly, Xiao Jiu excitedly chirped from the side: "Worm, worm, big worm."
The Weirdo gave Xiao Jiu a curious look and said, "This world is truly strange, even birds can talk."
Xuexue thought to herself, what’s so strange about a talking bird? You don’t have hands or feet and can still move so fast. Jumping down from such a high City Gate Tower into the city is what’s really strange!
Xiao Jiu understood this remark and chirped again: "You’re the strange one, even worms can talk."
"Pfft!" Xuexue couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
The Weirdo got angry and waved his arms at Xiao Jiu: "You little stinky bird, what nonsense are you spouting? Who’s a worm?"
Xiao Jiu: "You’re the worm."
The Weirdo grimaced at Xiao Jiu and said: "Keep talking nonsense, and you’ll see if I won’t swallow you alive!"
"Ah...! Help, help, the worm is going to eat the bird!" Xiao Jiu cried out in panic while flapping his wings, fluttering away.
The Weirdo snorted coldly: "Lucky you flew away quickly. Blind as a bat, daring to say Master is a worm."
Xuexue laughed and said: "Master, don’t be angry. Xiao Jiu is just a bird, he doesn’t know better."
The Weirdo cast a sideways glance at her: "You’re the one who raised it, aren’t you?"
Xuexue laughed and said: "Yes, indeed?"
The Weirdo cast Xuexue a sidelong glance and asked: "Do you also think I look like a big worm?"
Xuexue shook her head and said: "Where in the world would there be a worm as big as you?"
"Exactly, that bird must be blind, saying Master is a worm." Satisfied with Xuexue’s answer, the Weirdo suddenly jumped down from the beam, his body lying flat on the ground, saying: "There’s no one here that Master is looking for. Master is leaving, not wasting ti with you, little girl."
After saying that, his body wriggled and he quickly crawled away on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Xuexue’s sight.
Xuexue was astounded. In the War Prince’s Mansion full of experts, not a single person had noticed the Weirdo’s arrival.
She quickly summoned Xiao Taohong from her space, instructing her to follow the Weirdo, see where he went and what he did, and then report back.
A formidable person like this appearing in the Capital, she certainly needed to keep a close eye on.
"Yes, Master." Xiao Taohong agreed and drifted out of the mansion.
The next morning, when Xuexue woke up, Xiao Taohong was floating in mid-air in the room, waiting for her to wake up.
"Master, you’re finally awake,"
"Mm! What’s up? Where did that Weirdo go yesterday?" Xuexue was obsessed with this matter, but she had been too tired last night and fell asleep while waiting.
Xiao Taohong: "That Weirdo is really strange. He went into a few houses, wandered around, then left. It seems like he didn’t find the person he was looking for and then left the city."
"Hmm." Xuexue nodded, it seed the Weirdo hadn’t lied. He was truly just looking for soone, as long as he wasn’t targeting them.
