Fade's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively activated his positive energy and turned around, ready to attack.
However, when he turned around, he saw a beautiful girl, who was well- dressed and looked about 13 or 14 years old, running over.
Fade immediately held back on his attacks, but he did not let down his guard.
The little girl ran up to Fade and looked at him before breathing a sigh of relief. She patted her small chest and said, "Fortunately, you did not ruin my flowers."
"Uh, you are..." The little girl raised her head and looked at Fade in confusion.
Fade chuckled and said, "My name is Fade. I'm one of the guards of West Region King. Are these your flowers?"
"Yes, these are my flowers!" The little girl nodded. Then, she looked at Fade in surprise. "You are one of my granduncle's guard? Does that mean you're from the western region, too? Are there any Chinese living there? Do you know any?"
"This..." Fade was surprised. He did not expect that this little girl would ask about the Chinese.
In addition, from the way she addressed Jovian, this little girl should also be a member of the royal family of Great Hsia Domain. She was most probably related to Mulji.
Just as he was thinking about how to answer, the little girl suddenly approached Fade. Her nose twitched a few times as she sniffed Fade.
Then, she looked at Fade in surprise and asked, "Are you Chinese?"
"Ah, this..." Fade was really shocked.
He was stunned for a moment. Then, he nodded gently and said, "Yes, I am Chinese. How did you know that?"
The little girl smiled and said, "You have black eyes and you have a distinct smell, just like all of the Chinese people."
"Do you know any Chinese people?” Fade asked.
The little girl nodded and said, "Yes, my maid is Chinese. I have a good relationship with her. She also has black eyes and she smells exactly like you."
"Maid? You are..." Fade was surprised.
The little girl patted her head and said, "Oh, sorry, my bad! I forgot to introduce myself."
"My name is Eurika Hsia. My father is Ricki Hsia."
Fade wanted to ask more, but at this time, he heard footsteps approaching.
Eurika turned around to have a look. Her face immediately changed. She quickly grabbed Fade's hand and whispered, "Fade, you need to hide now."
"What's wrong?" Fade was confused.
Eurika said, "The guards are patrolling the area. I'm not sure what would happen if they see you."
"Huh?" Fade was still confused.
Eurika explained in a low voice, "Zamber is the captain of the guard. He doesn't like the Chinese. If he sees you here, I'm afraid...”
"He doesn't like Chinese people?" Fade frowned slightly and did not move.
The guards were approaching. When they heard the shout, they quickly surrounded them. "Who's there?"
Seeing this, Eurika could not help but change her expression. She took two steps forward and shielded Fade behind her. She then smiled and said, "Zamber, it's me."
"Eurika." Zamber was dressed in an armor suit. He looked at Eurika, and then his eyes fell on Fade. After sizing him up, he asked in a low voice, "Who is he?"
Eurika hurriedly said, "He's my friend. We were planting flowers together."
"Your friend?" Zamber narrowed his eyes and approached. He stared straight at Fade. "Why haven't I seen him before? Moreover, this friend of yours seems to be acting strangely!"
"Zamber, I..." Eurika wanted to explain.
But at this moment, with a bang, Zamber suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist. He pointed it at Fade and said in a deep voice, "You are Chinese!"
