Chapter 2250: Chapter 2250: Tea House
"Zi Xia, look, isn’t that Zhao Yin?" Xuexue reached out and pointed into the distance at a small, skinny, sneaky-looking figure.
But that figure moved very fast; with a flash of his body, he slipped into a tea house next door.
When Zi Xia looked up, his figure was already gone. "Young Miss, where is he? This maid didn’t see anything."
"Wait here for me, I’ll go take a look." Once Xuexue finished speaking, she quickened her pace and walked ahead.
"Young Miss, Young Miss, wait for this maid, this maid wants to go too."
By the time Zi Xia came back to her senses and looked up, the Young Miss had already gone far ahead. Even if she wanted to chase, she probably couldn’t catch up.
These past days, the Young Miss’s martial arts had improved extremely fast. Let alone martial arts—just walking, Zi Xia couldn’t even match one-tenth of the Young Miss’s speed.
Thinking of this, Zi Xia felt uncomfortable. She had practiced martial arts since childhood and roamed the Itinerant World from a young age; among young women, her martial arts were already considered top tier.
Yet in front of the Young Miss, she simply wasn’t worth mentioning.
The Young Miss could defeat her with a single move; this matter was too big a blow for Zi Xia.
The Young Miss had only started learning martial arts last year, yet her martial arts cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. Zi Xia could only look up to her, out of reach.
With her current martial arts, even if she followed the Young Miss, she probably wouldn’t be of any use. Zi Xia had no choice but to obediently sit in the carriage and wait for the Young Miss to return.
The tea house was crowded; everyone was drinking tea, eating snacks, and talking about how the Fourth Prince had just wanted to burn those people who’d gone mad with "possession."
An old Master lifted his teacup, drinking as he said loudly, "In my old opinion, when all’s said and done, this whole matter is thanks to the Princess Consort of War Prince. If she hadn’t begged the Fourth Prince to extend the deadline, I fear those possessed people would all already be dead."
As soon as the old Master finished, a Thin Man beside him said, "Are you all stupid? The Princess Consort of War Prince is harming you, and you’re still foolishly speaking up for her. How can there be people as stupid as you under heaven?"
When the people in the tea house heard that, they all turned their heads to look at him.
The old Master frowned unhappily and asked, "Who are you, spouting nonsense here? How is it that the good intentions of the Princess Consort of War Prince become so filthy once they pass through your mouth?"
The Thin Man said, "That’s exactly how it is. You think she’s good only because you have no brains."
The moment the Thin Man finished, he immediately aroused everyone’s displeasure; they all pointed at him and scolded, "Hey, what kind of way is that to talk? Who has no brains, huh?"
Faced with everyone’s reproach, the Thin Man wasn’t afraid at all; he even spoke out in a loud voice, "It’s the truth. Think carefully: this ’possession’ is such a severe illness that even the Doctors are helpless. The Fourth Prince wanting to burn them is actually the only method. Though the method is a bit cruel, it’s to save everyone’s lives; it’s the only option among no options. All in all, it’s for everyone’s good."
At this point, the man took a sip of tea, then continued, "On what grounds can the Princess Consort of War Prince say ’spare the possessed’ and they must then be spared? What exactly is she plotting? Could it be she’ll only be happy when our Moli Country is destroyed?"
The commoners: "Nonsense, the Princess Consort of War Prince is doing it for our sake as well."
Though they said that, the tone of the commoners’ voices had obviously softened quite a bit.
It seemed that this man’s little speech had indeed swayed everyone.
