My Endless Life

Chapter 44 Adventurer and the Young Lady

Listening to Li Qi's cold voice, Claudia also realized something.

She thought of the struggle between the traditionalists and the reformists, and the ideas of the reformists' high-ranking officials about the nobles, and immediately replied:

"... The nobles who do not hold official positions... are like this."

"Really? But I met many important officials from the city hall at the last dance."

Li Qi's tone was meaningful.

Claudia explained:

"That's because that dance was held by my father to welcome you to Kefise, and the subsequent dances... were all held by the children of those noble families."

"Don't they have anything to do?"

Li Qi asked coldly.

Claudia replied helplessly: "You can't expect a group of nobles who don't hold any positions to stay at home peacefully, because of the actions above, many positions are not held by nobles now, and they who are unemployed at home can only find ways to entertain themselves."

Claudia's words sounded like she was making excuses for the nobles, but in fact Li Qi vaguely heard some intentions of fanning the flames from her mouth.

It seems that Claudia also despises these dandies who only know how to eat, drink and have fun every day.

After taking a deep breath, Li Qi stopped looking at Claudia and picked up the book again and said:

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, if it is not necessary in the future, don't invite me to the dance. In addition... how is the Ship Federation going?"

"Father has contacted a border officer of the Ship Federation and is currently negotiating."

"As soon as possible."

Li Qi urged softly.

If the entry problem of the Ship Federation is not solved, Li Qi can only stay in Kefiser City.

It's okay to stay here, but the problem is that he is now disguised as a little girl.

To be honest, Li Qi didn't like his current identity at the beginning, and now that he is trapped here, he dislikes this identity even more.

The key lies in the dress of noble women in this era.

That beautiful lady's skirt looks very beautiful, but it is almost like a torture device when worn on the body!

Especially that corset!

Every time it is wrapped around, Li Qi feels that he can't breathe.

So now he just wants to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Seeing that Li Qi was immersed in the world of books again, Claudia did not plan to continue inviting him.

However, before leaving, Claudia seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said:

"By the way, another noble came last night. I heard that he seemed to be a famous adventurer, very famous among the noble ladies, and she seemed to know you, and kept asking why you didn't go..."

"Huh? Adventurer? Know me?" Li Qi frowned and looked up: "What's her name?"

"Amy Mendes, seems to be the eldest daughter of Viscount Mendes' family in the capital."

Claudia said the person's name.

Hearing this familiar name, Li Qi put down the book and thought seriously.

After a while, he asked Claudia:

"Will this woman go to the ball that invited me today?"

"Yes, I heard that she was going to tell her own adventure stories, so most of the noble ladies went to the tea party she held."

"Interesting."

A spy, knowing that he had been exposed, did not run away, and dared to attend the tea party among noble girls openly.

Should we say she is bold or fearless?

Besides, didn't she find out that her things had been swapped?

Li Qi touched his chin and thought, and after a while he said to Claudia:

"Pack up and wait for me, I'll be there soon."

No matter what the spy thought, Li Qi planned to meet her.

After all, if nothing unexpected happened, the spy should also want to leave the Ship Federation, and she might have her own "smuggling" channel.

...

The communication between noble ladies is much more than that between noble men.

And compared with the "daily activities" of going out for a walk, hunting, or making an appointment to go to a tavern.

The most common activity held by noble ladies is tea party.

Or it can be said to be afternoon tea.

Is there a new person?

Let's have afternoon tea together.

Is someone in love?

Let's have afternoon tea.

Want to share an interesting book first? Or are you going to leave for a long trip?

Then let's have afternoon tea together!

It was only after Li Qi dressed up as a noble girl that he realized that Uno's afternoon tea culture was so popular among noble girls.

But because of this, Li Qi didn't have to worry about not being able to see Amy.

Because she must be at the tea party held by these noble girls.

This was indeed the case. When Li Qi came to the tea party as agreed, he happened to see Amy surrounded by several girls at the tea party.

Amy was very tall. Compared with the general height of Uno girls of about 1.6 meters, Amy was at least 1.7 meters tall.

Therefore, Li Qi saw her in the crowd at a glance.

Similarly, Amy also saw Li Qi.

The two quickly met each other's eyes, and then Li Qi saw some surprise and curiosity in Amy's eyes.

She was probably surprised by Li Qi's appearance.

Because he was not going out, Li Qi's dress was much lighter than on the train.

Although he was still wearing a lady's dress that represented his status and showed aristocratic etiquette, he did not wear a sun hat. His long, slightly curled dark golden hair fell over his shoulders, with thin bangs covering his forehead.

There was no veil on her face, and her appearance, slightly disguised with makeup, appeared in front of Amy.

Amy had never seen Li Qi's appearance before, maybe that was why she was surprised.

"Miss Angela."

Amy's surprise was only for a moment. She quickly recovered and greeted Li Qi with a smile.

Li Qi looked at her in surprise.

The super power was activated, and Li Qi saw the magic cylinder she was wearing.

Didn't this woman realize that her belongings had been dropped? Didn't she even check it?

Li Qi realized that Amy might not have noticed that her drawing had been replaced by something else.

Are you so careless...Wait, is this guy unable to open the magic lock himself?

Li Qi thought strangely in his heart, but on the surface he smiled politely and greeted Amy:

"Hello, Ms. Amy."

"Oh, I didn't expect you, Miss Angela, to come too. You must also be here for Miss Amy."

Seeing Li Qi coming, the aristocratic lady wearing a blue dress and curly twintails slightly covered her mouth with her hand, showing surprise.

She is the organizer of this afternoon tea.

Gloria Salmon, the second daughter of Viscount Salmon, is also the leader of the city’s ‘ladies circle’.

She was almost the host of afternoon tea these days.

In terms of title, the Salmon family is higher than Li Qi's current Angulo family.

But in terms of official position, the Salmon family is considered a subordinate of the Angulo family, so Gloria's attitude towards Li Qi is pretty good.

Although sometimes his words are a bit sharp, he has his own sense of proportion and will not make Li Qi feel annoying.

Li Qicai lifted up his skirt to salute Gloria, the host of the banquet, and said:

"I heard that Miss Amy is a famous adventurer, so I came over to take a look."

"I see. It seems that Miss Angela also likes adventure. We thought you didn't like going out."

Gloria said with a smile.

Li Qi responded softly: "It's true that I don't like going out. After all, I'm quite afraid of strangers, but... I still have to listen to stories. I like to listen to stories."

"Then Miss Angela came just in time, Miss Amy is about to tell us her adventure story."

Gloria said and looked at Amy.

Amy also smiled, her eyes resting on Li Qi without concealment, and said with a smile:

"Yes, I was about to tell a story about...a down-and-out adventurer and a naughty lady."
