Aarons actually brought Mo Qianyun back to his home.

Not only did he hire this man who had a mission to kill him without any scruples, he even gave him a gold coin as a deposit - this kind of behavior that ordinary people could not understand at all made Jiang Yue so nervous that she was even a little dazed.

Is there something wrong with the Marquis's brain?

"Okay, you can stay in this room today. Everything in it should still be there... and the bathroom is over there in the hallway."

"My Lord Marquis, this place...can I really live in a place like this?"

"Of course you can. What kind of life did you live before?"

After arranging the female mercenary whose left arm had not fully recovered to the room originally reserved for servants, Aarons and Jiangyue came to the yard together.

Then, a cherry-haired girl in a maid outfit fell silently from the sky and landed next to Aarons accurately and lightly.

"Any trouble in town, Spider-Sakura?"

"Report. No unusual movements were detected, nor were any personnel above the threat threshold found."

"Thank you. All the psychic lines in the house are still functional. If you need to recharge, use those."

After nodding very obediently, the cherry-haired maid floated into the house.

When there were only two people left in the yard, Jiang Yue, who had remained silent, finally found the opportunity to speak.

"Marquis, why did you do this? That man..."

"Teacher Jiangyue, what kind of person do you think she is?"

Jiang Yue had never expected Aarons to ask her the question directly back, and was unable to give an answer for a moment.

Aarons answered the question himself.

"If she really had such good acting skills, she wouldn't have fallen so far as to become a mercenary."

"But...what if this is all part of a disguise?"

"In order to kill me for sure, she deliberately disguised herself as a down-and-out wandering mercenary, challenged me openly and lost twice, and finally accurately predicted that she would meet me here and was sure that I would keep her by my side?"

The probability of such a thing happening is so small that it can be ignored - and people who really have this level of ability will never dirty their hands for money.

"If this is to assassinate the emperor, it's fine. I'm just a useless person with no power. Is it really worth it for someone of that level to go through so much trouble?"

Even the great nobles did not take him seriously, let alone the mercenaries who were obsessed with money.

"You are right... That lady must have accepted that commission because she was forced by life and deceived."

"After she knew that I wasn't a bad person, she wanted to give up the mission with a respectable excuse. So she wasn't someone who was so rigid that she couldn't adapt... But she never thought of any other solutions."

According to the common thinking, she could have given up this mission immediately and chosen to join Aarons directly.

But she never expressed such thoughts from beginning to end.

"I guess it's not that she hasn't thought about this, but it's probably because...she thinks she has little value in her heart."

"…Is it because of low self-esteem?"

"She clearly has the strength to fight against a level six warrior, but she can't even get an ordinary identity. And the only power she can be proud of, she lost to Karin and Zhuying in a fair fight."

After talking to this extent, Jiang Yue gradually understood Aarons' thoughts.

Aarons did not treat Mo Qianyun as a homeless stray puppy, but hoped that she could face up to her own value and eventually find the path she should take.

Even though they were still enemies, Aarons subconsciously wanted to lead the other party.

"I don't have any power, so I am belittled and rejected by others. And she obviously has power, but still cannot get recognition from others... Perhaps, I do have some sympathy for her."

"To guide those who are lost..."

As if she remembered something from the past, Jiangyue finally just sighed softly and revealed a somewhat nostalgic expression.

"If it were in that era, you might have become a great hero."

……

The next day, Aarons got up early at dawn.

He didn't sleep well because he was worried about something, but because he planned to go to the city early to make some arrangements.

However, when he walked into the yard, he found that Jiangyue and Mo Qianyun were already waiting for him there.

"You guys got up too early."

"Marquis, you know that I don't need much sleep. But Miss Qianyun was already doing morning exercises here when I came out."

"Good morning, Lord Marquis... I just want to restore this hand to its original state as soon as possible."

Her left arm was injured in a head-on fight with Zhu Ying in the previous battle, so Aarons didn't feel comfortable saying anything more.

However, after hearing this, Jiang Yue took the initiative to make the two floating cannons on his back float up, and then manipulated them to connect together.

"Don't move. I'll use compound magic to heal you. It won't heal you instantly, but it will shorten the recovery time."

The two floating cannons put together released a soft light like water waves under Jiang Yue's command.

When the light touched Mo Qianyun's injured left arm, it immediately flowed into her body.

"Is this... healing magic?"

"It's just a simple water-light compound magic that can activate body tissues and enhance regeneration... Don't move yet. I want to measure your magic power."

After explaining her intentions, a glowing silver thread flew out from Jiangyue's fingertips and instantly wrapped around Mo Qianyun's right wrist.

However, a few seconds later, she immediately revealed an expression of incredible shock.

"It's actually... this concentrated?! Do you usually compress your magic power to this extent?!"

"Well, I heard that high-level warriors can turn their fighting spirit into fluid or solid, so I imitated this... Is this wrong?"

"Marquis, please let me take care of Miss Qianyun for the next few days... Please agree to my request."

Aarons didn't know what Jiangyue was going to do, but he roughly guessed that it might be related to magic.

Since he knew nothing about magic, he had no intention of interfering in their affairs.

"If it's about magic, Teacher Jiangyue can do it freely. Miss Qianyun, this is a high-level magician with the name of a sage. If you don't mind, you can ask her about magic."

"Really? I... I really want to learn about magic! Sir, please give me some advice!"

Looking at Jiang Yue's thoughtful expression and Mo Qianyun's unconcealable excitement, Aarons once again felt as if he had returned to his student days.

A gentle and intellectual teacher, a serious and upright monitor, and finally, myself, who is inconspicuous...

"Teacher Jiangyue, I think she must be a good student."
