Chapter 123 – Emperor’s Son-in-law

Just like that, the second round of the competition ended.

The warrior department was the biggest loser in this time’s competition.

Shen DaiYing lost and Lin Xiao successfully advance, and will face Caseasr in the finals.

This meant that in this time’s intramural selection competition, the warrior department got completely wiped out, and the top two were both students from the magic department.

This kind of result angered Momm to the point of insomnia, not just him, but all the students were equally shocked.

After the duel, the fact that Lin Xiao knew chantless instant cast spread like wildfire, everyone was discussing about how Lin Xiao was able to learn it.

Was it the god’s decree? If he was protected by the Goddess, was he the one selected by the Gods? Why did Lin Xiao, who was thought of as a S class muddler, stubbornly defeat Shen DaiYing fair and square today?

What’s more, not only did he win, but he also displayed horrifying powerhis robust magic power, precise control, and the chantless instant cast technique.

What was going on? How come no one’s heard of how powerful he was before?

Finally, they got an answer. According to Rosie Childe’s insider information, the reason Lin Xiao was able to use that technique was due to the fact that he’s from the Eastern tribe and knew of a secret technique that helped break through levels.

So it was a secret technique from the Eastern tribe! The students came to a realization and became more respectful of Lin Xiao’s identity.

Of course those were all lies.

After the match, Lin Xiao specifically looked for Rosie and made her leak that information. Lin Xiao knew that if it was insider information that Rosie revealed, everyone would believe it without any doubt.

Just as expected, the restlessness from the match died down, Lin Xiao made it to the finals and obtained the qualifications to participate in the Academy’s Tournament. As for fighting Caesar, he didn’t really care, since he already achieved his goals, it didn’t matter who won.

Lin Xiao defeated Shen DaiYing, honored the promise he made with Rosie and successfully completed the first step of their operation, and at the same time decreased the distance between him and Shen DaiYing… but he wasn’t happy.

Because after the match, Elena said something to him.

“That woman, will be the death of you.”

…

Winterless City

Lin Xiao’s home

Tomorrow was the final match, today Lin Xiao could laze around at home. However, he still had another important mission… to interrogate Elena!

“What? The Saint called the Snow Witch is coming to Winterless City tomorrow?” Lin Xiao was shocked.

According to Elena, she coincidentally saw the notice when she was shopping for food a couple of days ago, and tomorrow, that Saint would officially transfer to the Winterless City diocese, and would hold a ceremony at the Holy Light Church.

Was Snow and Snow Witch the same person? Lin Xiao used to be sure they weren’t, but not so much now.

Also it seems like someone purposely smeared out the Saint’s real name on the notice, if he wanted an answer he had to personally attend the ceremony tomorrow.

“Wait… Elena, other than the notice, you saw something else, right?”

He bumped into Shen DaiYing that day, and saw another side of her, but more strangely Elena was also nearby.

Lin Xiao thought it was a coincidence at first, but the signs later on showed that it definitely wasn’t. From that day on, Elena held some strange hostility against Shen DaiYing, and even said something strange to him after the match.

There was something wrong, Elena definitely knows something!

Lin Xiao started asking, and Elena didn’t feel like hiding it and told him everything she saw and heard that day.

The mysterious underground room at the outskirts, the Eastern tribe envoy, Lesser devils, Archbishop Anderson… Lin Xiao would have never even dreamed that Shen DaiYing was hiding so many secrets, and she had so much power backing her.

Most importantly, Elena also heard the conversation between Shen DaiYing and Anderson, so she was a hundred percent sure that Shen DaiYing was the one who killed Jackson and David.

“She, Shen DaiYing, Great Qin Empire’s princess, Caesar’s fiancée , the successor of the ‘Moonlight soul flower’ assassination technique, a coldblooded killer, knows about Lesser Devils, and is also close to the archbishop of the Holy Light Church.” Unexpectedly, Elena slightly smiled after finishing, “So Lin Xiao, you should understand, right?”

“I…” Lin Xiao furrowed his brows and went silent.

Of course, he understood, he once said that he wanted to find a normal girl to be his girlfriend, but now that Shen DaiYing has so many title, she was the furthest away from a normal girl.

A killer, a schemer, was it really as Elena said, would chasing after Shen DaiYing be the death of him?

“No, I still don’t… I think that Sister Ying is a good person, there must be something else going on.”

Although he was saying that, on the inside Lin Xiao knew better than anyone else, he just wasn’t willing to face reality.

No evidence…. he wasn’t suspecting that Elena was lying, but there was still no hard evidence that Shen DaiYing was the killer.

He at least had to get a piece of crucial evidence!

“Lin Xiao, it just seems like you merely like her for her body, right?” Elena ruthlessly taunted, “And you even used my blood to treat her, taking that chance to take advantage of her, you damn pervert…”

“Eh, did you see everything?” Lin Xiao felt like an old man that was caught having an affair, and tried to defend himself shamefully, “I-it was because she was injured, isnt it normal that I help her treat her wounds? As for your blood… hmph, what about it? Can’t you just give me some more?”

“What? You want more?” Elena glared at him, and sternly scolded, “Lin Xiao, I really don’t understand, do you actually like her? Do you understand her? Does she treat you well?”

She tossed out three questions in succession, and Lin Xiao was unable to answer.

That’s right, why was it? Was it really as Elena said, was it just because Shen DaiYing was a vixen, and seduced him with a body that many thirsted for? No, definitely not! That was one thing that Lin Xiao would never admit.

This was the first woman that he liked, how could it just be a vulgar thirst from the lower half of his body?

“Hehe, I know.” Elena slapped her own head, and gave her answer with a sneer, “I almost forgot how much of a decadent good-for-nothing you were. You’re pursuing Shen DaiYing so that you can become the princess’s husband, right… in the Great Qin Empire this position would be the emperor’s son-in-law.”
