Become a martial girl

Chapter 240
The moonlight leaking in through the window suddenly became missing.Mengdie stuffed the necklace back around her neck as if she didn't notice, and walked to the bed.While tidying the sheets, she said aloud——

"Friends outside, how about coming in and talking?"

The hunched body standing outside the floor-to-ceiling window nodded lightly, opened the window and walked in.Mengdie turned her head and smiled, put the folded quilt on the head of the bed, sat on the edge of the bed by herself, and said, "Old man Rand, your skills are not inferior at all. The phrase 'no longer the past' seems to be true. It should come out of your mouth."

The person who came was Rand, who had now become Luwell's gardener.After the stooped old man walked into the room, he turned his head and looked at the cut curtain with a puzzled face, as if he had many doubts.However, he still held back and kept these useless questions in his heart.

"Miss Mengdie... Hello. I, an old man, came to disturb you so late... Will I disturb you?"

Mengdie shook her head lightly, took a chair from the front of the dressing table and placed it behind Rand, letting the old man sit down.Then, a trace of apology rose on her face.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Rand. You took the risk to come here as a 'guest', but I can't even make you a cup of tea."

Rand smiled, a little relief on his tired face.The old man lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly raised his head...

"Are you... defeated?"

"...Ah." After a moment of silence, Mengdie shrugged her shoulders and made a helpless gesture, "It's still a fiasco. I don't even have a chance to fight back. The Black Flame Snake is really strong, and a mere white The shadow is so strong, what is the concept of that black shadow and their master is really elusive."

"...Ms. Mengdie, you don't seem...to be disappointed?"

Mengdie stared at Rand quietly, the autumn water in her eyes was calm: "Because I'm still alive."

"As long as I'm alive, there's still a chance. It's not the first time I've lost a battle. Before facing Shiro Shadow, I lost once at the hands of your old man. Long, long ago before that, I also suffered Many big or small defeats. But as long as I am still alive, these defeats are not only lessons for me, but also a piece of luck. As long as I don’t die, there are infinite possibilities in life.”

"Oh? Interesting." Elder Rand's eyes shone with a stern gleam unique to a "swordsman". "Then, next time, Miss Mengdie plans to challenge the Black Flame Snake?"

"Humph."

Along with a confident hum, there was the sound of a petite fist being squeezed in front of the old man.

"Of course. Next time... next time. Wait until the next confrontation, and I will let Bai Ying know what a wrong decision it is to let me go because of my daughter."

A person's eyes can often reflect a person's experience, spirit, and fighting spirit.The light in Old Man Rand's eyes was stern and subdued, and the title of Sword Master accompanied him for most of his life.But the light in Mengdie's eyes was not harsh, on the contrary, there was a watery gentleness.But under this gentleness, there is a war like the scorching sun.

Looking at such a pair of eyes that ordinary women would never have, Rand closed his eyes and sighed deeply...

"Okay, I'm done talking about my feelings. Uncle Rand, you must have come here to see Edward tonight, right? And you came to see me again... What's the matter?"

Rand coughed lightly, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Miss Mengdie, Yinyue's heir to the throne has changed... I think you know it too, right?"

Mengdie frowned slightly.She crossed her arms and kept turning in circles in the room.The tail with a yellow background and white tip shook solemnly, and her ears pricked up, representing the seriousness in her heart.

"Uncle Rand. What are you trying to say?"

After thinking for a long time, Mengdie asked a rhetorical question.

Rand sighed again, remained silent for a while, and said: "I hope...Miss Mengdie can persuade His Highness Edward...because I really don't want to see His Highness lose the throne like this, and the entire Silvermoon Kingdom fall into the real world. In the hands of the manager and Dika..."

Mengdie: "In other words, do you want me to persuade Edward to go back to Yinyue immediately, and I go to find the King's Cup by myself?"

Rand: "Yes. I have sneaked into His Highness's residence and told him just now, but His Highness is very stubborn and insists on refusing. His Highness seems to be very satisfied with Dika as the heir to the throne, and he willingly gave up the throne..."

Meng Die secretly smiled at the corner of her mouth and said, "Well... old man Rand, to put it bluntly, if I leave out the personal emotional factors, I am more in favor of Dika inheriting the throne. Because that guy Edward is too obedient, and his personality Too old-fashioned. To put it simply, he is a bad guy. Rather than being a king who needs to make choices, such a person is more suitable as an obedient courtier."

These words of Mengdie are just testing, wanting to know how Rand will react to his words.Unexpectedly, the old man just raised his head slightly, and his sharp eyes pierced directly into Mengdie's eyes.After about a minute, he answered coldly——

"Miss Mengdie... do you... really think so?"

After a short confrontation, Mengdie already knew that it was impossible for him to stimulate this experienced old man.She simply gave up, spread her hands, and smiled.

"Okay, I said something wrong. I'm sorry. But to be honest, it has nothing to do with me who will be the king of Yinyue. According to normal logic, it is best for me, an outsider, to hold back on Yinyue's internal affairs. I don't want to participate. My purpose is just to take back the King's Cup and save my friend."

"But Miss Mengdie, Your Highness is your friend, do you just have the heart to watch His Highness fall from the throne and become an ordinary person?!"
