Chapter 286: That’s her! Part6

Camouflaged by the ‘Hide’ spell, Tang Xi waited and waited and watched the attack land on Tang Yue.

The mental attack perfectly landed on the oblivious young dwarven girl, but once it landed, it bounced off of her as if it was merely a puff of dust.

Huh? Tang Xi’s face darkened. She could tell that something was off.

Her attack landed but she didn’t get the feeling that Tang Yue was enslaved to her.

“Crush your cores.” Tang Xi gritted her teeth and spewed out commands.

But Tang Yue still continued hammering that chunk of metal as focused as ever, without missing a beat, as if nothing had happened.

Tang Xi became extremely agitated. Her face paled and her fury skyrocketed.

Everything went perfectly, then how the hell did nothing happen?

Why did this bitch alone escape her fate again and again?

She was so furious that she felt as if she was going crazy.

“That damned man should have definitely done something.” She cursed at Xander and quickly disappeared from Central Square.

She might be extremely angry right now but she was not a fool to hang around and wait for these monsters to catch her and skin her alive.

Besides, even if she casts the skill a few more times, these monsters would still probably block it for her.

Ptui! This useless bitch really knew how to wrap all these men around her little finger!!! Tang Xi cursed and ran away.

Gale and Ginko, as well, waited for a couple more seconds and patiently observed.

But after seeing that nothing out of the ordinary was happening, they too disappeared, dazed and confused.

They had really expected something big to happen, but nothing happened in the end.

In all honesty, it was not just Tang Xi and the goblins, but even Xander, Xavier, and Jorden didn’t quite understand what just happened.

Xander was ready to summon the healing domain again. 

He had even taken out several mental health elixirs that he had personally concocted.

And more importantly, he had summoned his dark elemental clone to search for the perpetrator. 

But from the looks of it, nothing really had happened.

Jorden and Xavier awkwardly looked at each other and shrugged, and Xander continued watching Tang Yue, while the girl carried on her rhythmic banging.

No one knew what happened but an old soul silently harrumphed inside Tang Yue’s body.

“Targeting my student with a mere third rate spell? Dream on!”

Tang Yue might not have been aware enough to defend herself, but the system or rather the elder was aware at all times.

He would never admit this to Tang Yue, but there was no way that the old man would have let harm befall her.

So even if it meant that he had to reveal his presence for a split second, he did it and the spell bounced off Tang Yue effortlessly.

“I hate these sneaky snake spells. Damn it.” The old man snorted and went into hibernation again.

And Tang Yue continued basking in her enlightenment state, deciphering bits and parts of everything that had eluded her understanding these past few days.

A couple more minutes passed and the pin-drop silence in Central Square finally eased up.

Both Xander and Xavier, as well as Jorden, had thoroughly scanned the entire crowd for any intruders or people emanating killing intent but clearly whoever was behind all of this had already disappeared.

By now, several experts had already walked over to them and awaited their orders.

Everyone knew that something big had happened, but no one understood what.

What could have made the two elven royal princes guard an unknown dwarven girl?

Even Xyla and Layla contorted their faces in anger. Was gaining some stupid insight such a big deal?

Everyone experienced such a thing at one point in their life or another. 

Was there really a need for such an exaggerated response?

All of this just for the sake of that nobody was a bit too much!!! They begrudgingly sighed in unison.

Apart from the dozen dwarven experts, a part of the dwarven royal army, the regiment under Jorden’s command, showed up as well and started clearing and interrogating the crowd.

An attack in the middle of the royal city was no small thing!

The soldiers started examining the crowd present with a fine-tooth comb and since the contest had now almost ended, everyone was politely asked to leave and remain within their respective abodes.

Only some of the contestants were not done yet and they as well quickly packed up.

They knew that the royal city was going to be under a strict lockdown the next few days to catch the criminal so everyone silently walked away.

Che! Xander clenched his fist in frustration.

He knew that his presence was no longer needed, but he hesitated to turn back.

He would have felt better if he had caught the person responsible for this. Someone had attacked Tang Yue, very nearly injured her, but he didn’t know who that was.

This annoyed him greatly!

Just like back then in the labyrinth, he again felt powerless and useless, unable to even help the woman he cared about.

Xander sighed, lovingly gazing at the young dwarven girl, not in the least bothering to hide his affection.

He wanted to just pick her up and walk away.

As he stood near Tang Yue like a statue that had no intention of moving, despite the threat have been neutralized now, an amused voice sounded near him.

“Thank you, your highness.” Jorden politely spoke, but there was a twinkle in his eyes.

“Thank you for your concern for our dwarven citizen.” He added.

Hmmm? Xander raised his eyebrows, clearly not pleased with the subtle provocation.

Xavier, standing by his side, was sweating profusely.

He decided to step up and deal with this before his brother burst into flames and massacred everyone present.

“Ha Ha. No problem. No problem. We just happened to be here and helped out.”

“We greatly enjoy watching the smithing contest every lunar cycle and didn’t want something terrible to happen and ruin everyone’s day. That’s all.”

“You don’t have to thank us, Prince Jorden.”
