Onyx said softly.
“Lady Rebecca said it herself this morning, so it should be real.”
It sparingly confused him. Their relationship shouldn’t have logically reached that stage, but the other party had to do it.
He could only attribute it to the extraordinariness of Twilight City. Richard’s charisma was unparalleled. Didn’t he also pursue that magical territory after leaving Twilight City?
Perhaps in the eyes of others, he was also somewhat unreasonable…
Christy couldn’t take it anymore.
She hurriedly got up and walked outside.
“This won’t do. I have to go and see Rebecca. That grace mainland overlord must have deceived her…”
Onyx did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Your Highness Christy, I don’t think so. You…”
The girl waved her hand and hurriedly walked away before Onyx could finish. She disappeared quickly from his sight.
He turned to look at Windsor, whose expression hadn’t changed.
He whispered.
“Charmain, do you want me to go and take a look…”
Windsor said slowly.
“It’s just a small matter. There’s no need to pay attention to it.”
She seemed to have thought of something as she spoke, and her eyes revealed a thoughtful look.
“Are the people who went to the Red Dragon General Store back?”
“Not yet, but it should be soon.”
Windsor’s eyes sparingly narrowed as she spoke with a rather complicated tone.
“I wonder if the Teacher will acknowledge Lord Richard… We don’t have much time left.”
Onyx thought of some secrets and fell silent.
A strange sound came from outside the door as the room fell silent.
It got increasingly closer.
Windsor’s eyes immediately lit up with joy when she heard the voice. She stood up and went to the door.
At that moment, a figure sat in a mechanical wheelchair and appeared.
“Teacher…”
Peim looked up at the eye-catching voice and smiled kindly.
“Little girl, push me in.”
Windsor immediately went to the back of the mechanical wheelchair and pushed Peim into the house.
Onyx immediately saluted most humbly when he saw Peim.
Peim waved his hand and didn’t say anything.
Windsor poured a cup of hot tea at the coffee table for the old man who had lived for so long despite not having a heart.
Peim drank in one gulp and laughed after he savored the taste.
“Not bad, the tea leaves from the southern Griffin Empire are still so delicious…”
“I’ll send it to you later.”
Peim shook his head.
“No need. You’ll lose the taste if you drink it all day, no matter how good the food is.”
Windsor laughed and didn’t comment on this.
She changed the topic.
“Teacher, why are you here?”
Peim grinned.
“What, do I need to ask for your permission to come to the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce?”
Windsor smiled.
“I hope you can come here every day… By the way, Teacher, did Lord Richard visit Red Dragon General Store?”
Peim immediately became interested when the chairman brought the topic up.
That grace mainland overlord is good. He’s the only one I’ve taken a liking to in the past few months.
His words surprised Windsor when she heard this evaluation.
This teacher of hers was once the world’s most fearless expert. He had extremely high standards and never praised others too much.
It was unbelievable that Lord Richard could gain his approval in such a short time.
In her eyes, a word of praise from Peim was worth more than a month of Onyx praise.
The weight of their words naturally varies with different statuses.
She asked curiously.
“Teacher, what’s so special about Lord Richard that he quickly gained your liking?”
Peim looked at Windsor with a strange expression.
“Don’t you know who you’re referring to?”
It stunned Windsor for a moment.
“I only mentioned to Lord Richard that he could get the Contract Scroll he wants at the Red Dragon General Store…
The corner of Peim’s mouth twitched. “So, that kid said you recommended him at the start. Was he just bluffing?
“He was bold and black-hearted, as expected of the king who could break out of the 20 billion competitors and occupy the top spot.
“This guy’s character was quite similar to mine… Promising future.
“One needs to discover his other strengths, but the other party is Qingqiu.”
“What did you just say? Lord Richard is Qingqiu?”
Disbelief engulfed her eyes as if she had heard something unacceptable.
She praised Qingqiu in front of Lord Richard this morning.
The Qingqiu she regarded countless praises was actually in front of her.
