Arabic is not easy to learn. Before Jia Dao time-traveled, he had also studied foreign languages.

In the world of languages, there's a popular ditty: Five minutes to learn Korean, five hours to learn English, five days to learn French, five months to learn Japanese, five years to learn German, and five hundred years to learn Arabic.

It's easy to imagine how difficult Arabic is.

Being able to learn Arabic is definitely the mark of a genius among academic high-achievers!

With Xiao Rongyu joining them, Jia Daoshi and his group entered the room again.

Upon seeing the unfamiliar faces of Jia Daoshi and Xiao Rongyu, the twins became alert again, and huddled together, ready to fight to the death.

However, judging from their stance and posture, they seem to be martial arts experts!

Upon careful sensing, Jia Daoshi indeed discovered the flow of true energy within their bodies!

However, this little bit of true energy was nothing in front of him.

Clearly, the twins knew they were at a disadvantage, so they didn't dare to run away.

"My lady, first ask them about their background and why they were arrested."

Jia Daoshi first carefully examined the twins, then spoke to Xiao Rongyu.

Xiao Rongyu nodded and stepped forward to ask directly.

Listening to the three women chattering away, Jia Daoshi couldn't understand a word, but he still found it quite interesting.

In ancient times, listening to beautiful women from that era converse in Arabic was truly fascinating.

As for the two twins, after talking with Xiao Rongyu for a while, a strange look appeared on their faces. Their eyes first showed disbelief, then anger, and then a look of gratitude and appreciation.

"What exactly are you talking about?" Jia Daoshi waited for a moment of silence and stepped forward to ask.

Xiao Rongyu: "They said that they are indeed from the Holy Maiden Temple. The one on the left is the older sister, named Reyizha, and the one on the right is named Medina. They were traveling when they were ambushed by a group of thugs. The thugs fired black smoke at them, and after inhaling some of the black smoke, they fainted. When they woke up, they saw us and thought we were the thugs who had captured them."

"Traveling around? You've come to Dajing for a trip? That's quite far!"

Upon hearing this news, Jia Daoshi frowned slightly.

How could one possibly travel to such a far place?

"Ask them if they really came to Dajing for sightseeing, or if they have some other purpose."

Jia Daoshi did not speak Arabic, so he had to have Xiao Rongyu relay his message.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Rongyu naturally relayed the information faithfully.

Another long, drawn-out conversation ensued, and this time it lasted much longer.

After a long while, Xiao Rongyu said, "They didn't come here to travel on their own. They came with the Holy Maiden. Neither of them knew why the Holy Maiden had come so far."

Jia Daoshi frowned again after hearing this!

Saint?

The Holy Maiden of the Holy Maiden Temple? Aren't they all supposed to marry the kings of the Eight Western Kingdoms? How could such an important person come to Dajing for something as simple as sightseeing?

However, his intelligence department did not receive any information about the imperial court's contact with the Western Eight Kingdoms.

In this way, the saintess's itinerary here must be top secret!

As for why it was conducted in top secret, one would certainly not know without a thorough understanding.

This was something that Jia Daoshi regretted; if he knew Arabic, he could have gotten to know them better.

Now, all he can do is bring along Xiao Rongyu as his translator.

"Tsk tsk, this is interesting."

Jia Daoshi leaned back in his chair, a smile playing on his lips.

The land occupied by the Great Jing Dynasty was the most fertile land in the entire continent. This was the reason why the Longwu Dynasty in the north always wanted to move south, and also the reason why the Kushan and the Yuezhi in the northwest always coveted the Great Jing Dynasty.

However, the Yuezhi were the only neighbors between the Western Eight Kingdoms and the Great Jing Kingdom.

The Yuezhi and Longwu have now stationed tens of thousands of troops around Youzhou County.

The territory of Dajing was in turmoil.

At this point in time, the Holy Maiden of the Western Eight Kingdoms arrived in the capital of the Great Jing Kingdom, and there's definitely something special about her.

"Ask them again, what have their saintesses been doing since they came to the capital? Who have they met?"

Xiao Rongyu continued to relay the message.

But this time, the twins remained silent.

Then he said something very simple.

"They said that after arriving in the capital of Dajing, the Holy Maiden had them stay in an inn. The Holy Maiden acted alone, and they had no idea what she did or who she met."

After exchanging a few words with the twins, Xiao Rongyu said.

"Do they really not know, or are they pretending not to know?" Jia Daoshi asked.

“It should be true. I just tested them, and they don’t seem to be lying.” Xiao Rongyu nodded.

"Oh? If that's the case... then we really need to investigate this Holy Maiden thoroughly. She's so mysterious; she must be up to something big!" Jia Daoshi frowned.

There are only two routes from the Western Eight Kingdoms to Dajing. One route passes through Youzhou County, but Youzhou County is now covered by Jia Daoshi's intelligence network. It is impossible to keep such a troop passing through from his sight!

Another route is through An'nan County, where General Ming's residence is located!

"Where does your holy maiden live?" Jia Daoshi asked after a moment's thought.

Xiao Rongyu relayed the message, and the twins' faces showed a look of alertness.

Then came a barrage of questions.

"They just asked why they wanted to know where the Holy Maiden was, and what their purpose was."

Clearly, the saintess held a very important place in their hearts.

Once they reveal the location of the Holy Maiden's residence, it will be tantamount to exposing her. If these people in front of them have any designs on the Holy Maiden, it will be as if they have harmed her!

Although they are young, new to the world, and inexperienced, that doesn't mean they lack intelligence.

Jia Daoshi seemed to have anticipated their reaction and immediately said, "Just say it like this. I need to know which inn the Holy Maiden is staying at so that someone can inform her and send someone to pick them up."

Upon hearing this, the twins were initially taken aback, but then they started chattering amongst themselves again.

"What are they talking about?" Jia Daoshi asked directly.

Xiao Rongyu said, "They said, why won't you let them go?"

Jia Daoshi chuckled: "Just release them? How can that be? They're unfamiliar with this place, what if they get captured? Besides, you have to tell them that we rescued them after going through a very tough battle, and their Holy Maiden has to give us something in return, otherwise all the blood and sweat our brothers shed would have been for nothing?"

The reasons Jia Daoshi gave were actually untenable; he simply wanted to see the Holy Maiden of the Western Eight Kingdoms.
