Jeanne d'Arc was defeated.

However, Kama seemed to have no intention of letting her go, and continued to rush towards her, wanting to press his advantage.

Jeanne d'Arc's situation became extremely critical.

Clang!

An ordinary greatsword blocked Kama's path, forcing her back.

King Hassan had been nearby the whole time, and naturally he wouldn't stand idly by while Jeanne d'Arc was attacked by Kama, so he intervened and stopped her.

But this completely exposed his figure.

King Hassan, wearing a skull mask, appeared beside Jeanne d'Arc, startling Yuxian.

He was well aware of this man's power; King Hassan, who could take someone's head without anyone noticing, was the most threatening person in Yuxian's mind.

He was even more fearful of him than all the others combined.

The fact that such a person had been right beside them all along made Yuxian feel a sense of dread.

"I'm sorry, I messed up..."

Jeanne d'Arc got up from the ground again, feeling a little embarrassed, as she hadn't expected that things would go wrong first in her line of work.

Although she was reluctant to make the demands on the children, she still felt somewhat resentful when problems arose with them.

No one wants to be the worst, and Jeanne d'Arc was no exception.

"Etc!"

Yuxian suddenly spoke loudly.

He seems to have discovered something extraordinary.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the cute doll in King Hassan's other hand.

This doll is so cute, with a completely girlish style, that it's hard to ignore.

It looks completely out of place next to King Hassan, like a cartoonish little figure appearing in a traditional Chinese ink painting – it just doesn't look right.

Moreover, Yuxian felt that the doll looked familiar, as if he had seen the same style of doll somewhere before.

He began to search his memory relentlessly.

Yuxian Xian pointed to the doll in King Hassan's hand and asked, "Can I take a look at that doll?"

He remembered where he had seen the doll before.

Academy City!

Although it's possible that the styles just happen to be the same, Yuxian doesn't believe in such coincidences; there aren't that many coincidences in this world.

In addition, consider the series of events that have occurred during this period.

He came to a conclusion that left him both amused and exasperated.

In the Yuxian asked King Hassan for the doll, King Hassan, with a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive, shoved it into Jeanne d'Arc's hand.

"Your doll."

Jeanne d'Arc was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening. She hugged the doll tightly and said seriously, "This doll is mine."

This doll belongs to Little Jeanne, who was Little Jeanne as a child, so theoretically, this doll is hers.

But this attempt to cover up the truth only made Yuxian more certain that everything before him was exactly as he had guessed.

He immediately shook his head, gritted his teeth, and said to the doll, "You're all doomed!"

Chapter 60, Section 281: I never expected you to be this kind of master!

Yuxian glanced at Rin Tohsaka, who was leaning against a big tree in the distance. He now knew that it was either Ishtar or Rin Tohsaka.

Venus's unusual behavior that night must have been something she and the children had experienced, and she probably already knew the truth.

She was probably overjoyed inside, and must have enjoyed the show immensely!

The master looked at him with that strange look and told him that he knew Arash's Master Yuxian.

How could I not recognize them? I even tuck them in every night!

No wonder Master told them to play for a few more days, they really are playing!

Yuxian now realized that his initial intuition was correct; there must be something strange about these children ignoring him.

Looking back now, it's really unusual that they were able to go to bed so early and behave so well; it's not like their usual personalities at all.

So this is where he was waiting. What a wonderful surprise!

Yuxian sighed helplessly, and immediately lost all interest.

"Go home!"

He glared at the speaker and then turned to leave without looking back.

The others were still a little confused about his meaning. Why were they still fighting and already going home?

"You all come too!"

After taking a few steps, Yuxian paused, glanced back at Arash and the others, and was now absolutely certain that these Servant were just putting on an act.

Just look at Jeanne d'Arc's behavior to know that this Saintess was not good at concealing or lying. She revealed countless flaws. Now that I think about it, I was really too young to be deceived.

Yuxian stormed off, heading back ahead, and no one stopped him.

"Did we mess up?"

After hesitating for a long time, Jeanne d'Arc asked softly.

Arash laughed and said, "I guess I messed it up, but that was to be expected. It's okay, it was bound to happen sooner or later."

How could such a thing be kept secret forever? It was only a matter of time before it was exposed. Arash saw this very clearly.

Jeanne d'Arc nodded, agreeing that it was indeed true.

She then asked, "So what do we do now?"

"What else can we do?" Arash shrugged. "Of course we'll go and watch the show. We can't miss it."

Arash has already shifted his role from actor to audience member; he's been eagerly anticipating this moment.

The group suddenly stopped fighting and followed Yuxian back in a scattered manner, as if the battle had never happened.

"We're doomed! This time we're really doomed!"

"What should we do? Should we run away?"

"Let's go back to Chaldea, we're going back to Chaldea right now!"

"It's no use, we can't escape..."

Someone said this, and the children immediately felt very frustrated, hanging their heads and sighing dejectedly.

Their deeds have finally been exposed, and now they only face punishment, the only difference being what kind of punishment.

"We need to think of something quickly. We absolutely can't let them be hung up; that would be too horrible."

"Should we try asking Mash?"

"No, Mash always listens to the Master, she probably won't help us."

"Then... Da Vinci-chan?"

"Da Vinci-chan in Chaldea; distant water can't quench a nearby fire!"

"How about Master? Let's go and beg Master. Master is most afraid of Master. He will definitely listen to Master if Master says so."

Little Jeanne suddenly remembered Scathach, who had visited them not long ago, and it was as if she had found a lifeline.

The other children agreed, and there was no better solution at that point.

"Then let's hurry and get back to Master before Master does."

The children rushed home and found Scathach.

Scathach was sitting leisurely at the table, sipping her tea with an elegant and composed demeanor.

"Master! Master!"

The children rushed over and surrounded Scathach, pleading anxiously.

"Master, please save us! We're about to be hung up by our Master! You have to save us!"

"Master is the best! We love Master the most!"

" In Chaldea, only Master is the best. She's smart, beautiful, and cares about children!"

The children showered Scathach with compliments as if they were free, but she calmly sipped her tea, her expression unmoved.

Several children looked at her expectantly, asking her to protect them from Yuxian's accusations.

Scathach remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was already itching to laugh.

These children are quite capable; they can make the Lord of the Magical Realm so happy.

Scathach gently put down her teacup and looked at the children surrounding her.

She said softly, "It's not impossible..."

"Ah! I knew Master was the best!"

"Yes, Master is the best!"

"Master is the best master in the world!"

The children's eyes lit up. As long as their master nodded, their problem would be over, Yuxian would definitely be unable to do anything about it.

If Scathach is willing to speak, Yuxian will definitely comply with her opinion.

However, before they could even begin their joyful celebration, Scathach continued, "But..."

"I'm afraid this will be difficult to explain to the Master..."

Scathach sighed softly, as if she were thinking of a better way for the children.

She suddenly nodded as if she had just realized something. "How about this, you all come with me to the Shadow Land for special training, then the Master won't have anything to say."

"Even if the Master is unreasonable, he wouldn't disturb everyone's special training, right?"

After Scathach finished speaking, she looked at the children and waited for their answer.

"Ah!--"

The children were dumbfounded. Special training in the Shadow Land?

They had no desire to go to the Shadow Land, nor did they want to undergo any special training.

Little Jeanne d'Arc pouted and said with some disdain, "Then we might as well be hung up by our Master!"

Faced with the choice between being hung up and undergoing special training in the Shadow Land, the children unhesitatingly chose the former.

The former will probably only feel unwell for the next day or two, but the latter's discomfort could last for who knows how long. How could the children not understand this?

Seeing Scathach's smiling gaze, they immediately understood that Scathach had no intention of protecting them at all; she was simply teasing them.

In an instant, the children stopped praising Scathach and started pouting.

"Master is no good at all, we're not talking to you anymore."

"I never expected you to be this kind of master."

"Yes, Da Vinci-chan still better; she's kinder to children than my master!"

Having lost their last support, the children were extremely disappointed. They had no other choice but to wait for Yuxian to arrive and accept their punishment.

"Sigh... we can only be hung up."

"We're so miserable!"
