Norma continued to ask: "I heard about your story from my uncle. I know you are a magician! How can a magician have such excellent swordsmanship? There is something wrong with you!"
Oops, I'm a bit drunk.
Xia Yi's expression was stiff.
She really didn't think too much about it. She just noticed that there was something wrong with Norma's swordsmanship, so she pointed it out. Then she found out that this was her student, Hill's student, and she thought it was very interesting.
Any idea of maintaining one's personal image is temporarily put aside.
By the time he came to his senses, he had already defeated the opponent.
"I, I... have learned a little swordsmanship!" Xia Yi replied stiffly.
"Learned a little?"
Norma's eyes widened.
"Yes, think about it. I am a magician who has been away from home for years to gain experience. If I encounter a sudden attack by a monster or a bad guy, I won't be able to react if I only rely on magic, right?"
Xia Yi opened her mouth and began to use her strongest skill -
Hard mouth!
"In that case, it is reasonable for me to learn a little self-defense. The self-defense I learned happens to be swordsmanship. I have to protect myself, otherwise I might get killed in the wilderness!"
"..."
"It's true. I know magic and a little swordsmanship. Swordsmanship is my hobby. Haha!" Xia Yi smiled stiffly.
"You mean, you just learned a little swordsmanship, but you defeated me who has been practicing swordsmanship for so many years? I learned my swordsmanship from Teacher Hill, which is derived from the swordsmanship of the Sword Saint. But you were able to easily see the flaws. Do you think this is reasonable?"
Because it comes from my swordsmanship, I can tell at a glance that this is too much!!
Xia Yi really wanted to throw this sentence in Norma's face.
It's a pity that I can't tell.
She could only hold it in her stomach.
There is really no other way.
Xia Yi was ready to change her thinking. Since she couldn't explain it clearly, she might as well ignore it, avoid the main issue, and start fighting back.
"Ms. Norma, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?" Xia Yi asked, "How could you be defeated so easily by me! You are the student of the student of the Sword Saint!"
"what?!"
Norma was suddenly caught off guard by Xia Yi's move to take the initiative.
Xia Yike did not give her time to think, but continued to pursue: "Your goal is to become a knight of the Knights Templar, and you also want to restore the Lawrence family in your own way! What I said is correct, right?"
"This... yes, it is indeed my goal all along."
Norma fell into Xia Yi's rhythm without realizing it.
"Look at your own resources. You are in the Lawrence family. With our financial assistance, you can use such a large venue to practice swordsmanship. Many props are left to assist in the practice of swordsmanship. Do you admit this?"
"I... admit that this is a fact," Norma said, a little aggrieved. "I know that I am not completely independent yet, but I don't deny it!"
Xia Yi and Xia Lulu have faced off against each other more often and have gained more experience.
Doesn’t Xia Lulu like to play this trick every time?
Instead of explaining and clarifying, it is better to gain the initiative in discourse by attacking the opponent.
This time, Xia Yi is going to show her aggressiveness fiercely!
"That's not all! Miss Norma, the greatest support the Lawrence family has given you is the opportunity to study with the disciple of the Sword Saint, Gibran! How many people can get such an enviable resource? But look at yourself, you have all this, but what are you doing?!"
Xia Yi continued to output.
"I'm just an amateur in swordsmanship, but I could actually see that there was something wrong with your swordsmanship. You even challenged me to a duel, and you were so arrogant that you thought you could easily beat me. But in the end, you lost to an amateur in swordsmanship in less than two moves! You don't look for the problem in yourself, but instead look for excuses from the outside world to excuse yourself? Did Gibran Gibran's original intention was to train you to be such a knight? "
"me……"
Norma's face turned red, almost flushed, but she had a strong sense of self-esteem.
"Don't you feel a little ashamed? Norma Lawrence!" Xia Yi delivered the finishing blow.
Norma's mentality finally exploded. She took several steps back, her face flushed. She was so ashamed that she didn't even bother to ask about Xia Yi.
"Damn it, I'll remember this grudge!!!"
After saying this, she turned and ran away.
"call……"
Looking at Norma's back, Xia Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now, she's too embarrassed to come to me."
……
"Ms. Xia Yi, I'm back."
"It's Master Kate. Good afternoon."
Xia Yi finally waited for Kate to return to the Lawrence family manor.
After seeing Xia Yi, Kate asked nervously, "Ms. Xia Yi, are you satisfied with the situation at Chunfeng Orphanage?"
"I went to Chunfeng Orphanage and felt very satisfied. The Lawrence family really helped us according to our request."
"Thank you very much for the compliment, Miss Xia Yi. After all, you have helped our Lawrence family. We will definitely take your request seriously." Kate laughed.
"By the way, Mr. Kate, I heard from the servants that you went out to do some business?" Xia Yi asked.
"Yes! Miss Xia Yi, I am going out here just to prepare a surprise for you!"
Kate took out an envelope and placed it in front of Xia Yi, full of confidence. She had obviously foreseen that she would be praised again.
"Please take a look."
Xia Yi opened the envelope and read its contents. Her smile gradually disappeared and she fell into silence.
Why would the Lawrence family make such a decision for me without my consent?
22 Keeping you on suspense
Xia Yi opened the envelope.
Inside the envelope was an invitation letter.
Just by seeing the logo on the invitation, she felt something was wrong.
This is a huge laurel tree.
She had seen this logo once before. It represented Laurel College. She had met her student Hill and students from Laurel College in Gold before, so she had an impression of it.
She glanced at the content on it, which was related to the application for admission to Laurel College...
Xia Yi raised her head and looked at the smug Kate.
"Master Kate, what does this mean?" Xia Yi asked puzzledly.
"Ms. Xia Yi, this is an invitation for you to take the entrance examination for Laurel College," Kate explained.
"Aha?"
Xia Yi felt strange in her heart, wondering why the Lawrence family would make such arrangements for her without her permission.
Entering Laurel College was not in her plan.
"Why did the Lawrence family make such a decision for me without my permission?" Xia Yi asked, "This is without my consent."
"Why do you say . . . ?"
Kate frowned and looked at Xia Yi, but she became confused herself.
"Isn't this what you ordered?"
"When did I ever order this?"
"Before you came to Belem, didn't you ask your maid, Miss Lucia, who had been meeting with our Lawrence family, to write a letter and deliver it to our Lawrence family?"
“That’s indeed the case.”
"This is what was mentioned in the letter. We, the Lawrence family, will handle it after you arrive in Beren," Kate reported truthfully. "Besides, there is no need for us to make decisions on our own if you don't ask for it."
"..."
Xia Yi was silent.
Lucia had never mentioned joining Laurel Academy to me before.
This is not something Lucia would do. The royal maid corps does not have the royal family as the decision maker. They can only be acting in accordance with the royal family's orders.
This must be what Xia Lulu meant, which is why Lucia handled it this way.
"Kate family, can you let me see the letter?" Xia Yi asked.
"Well, okay, please wait a moment."
Kate was very depressed. How could she go out and do her best, but in the end there was no benefit? Not even a little praise.
……
"I'm back, Miss Xia Yi. This is the letter I sent you before. Please take a look at it yourself."
Kate handed the letter to Xia Yi.
Xia Yi opened the letter and began to read.
The first few lines are basically normal content. It just hopes that the Lawrence family can provide help to Xia Yi, and Lucia will provide subsequent financial assistance. The last few lines also explain the matter of helping Xia Yi go to Laurel College.
This is really the case.
Xia Yi still didn't understand why this happened.
Suddenly, she realized something was wrong.
This letter is not just what it seems, there are traces of residual magic.
The remnant of this magic is particularly ingenious, and looks no different from the magic in the air, but one must have a certain level of strength to be able to discover this subtle treatment.
