Chapter 125 – I Heard Someone was Messing with my Wife?

‘Understanding the truth’ and ‘accepting the truth’ were two very different things.

The instant he found out about the truth, all sorts of feelings welled up inside his heart.

He longed for a crucial piece of evidence, and now that he had it, he should be satisfied, right?

According to their agreement, he could find Rosie right now, tell her about everything then let Rosie use her family’s power to get to the bottom of it.

At that time, Shen DaiYing would be revealed as a killer, and she would never be able to become Caesar’s wife.

But was that the outcome Lin Xiao was hoping for?

No, it wasn’t.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao finally understood why he fell in love at first sight.

Perhaps others may not see through her, but he felt something peculiar from her the moment he saw her. Each of her smiles recounted a past tragedy, her charming eyes weren’t telling words of love, but transmitting her suffering and struggles within the darkness.

She was a young and beautiful princess, yet she was a coldblooded killer, why? Was it of her own choice? Or did she have no choice?

Lin Xiao didn’t know, but he never took her as a princess from the start, but someone who needed to be saved.

He hoped that he could rescue her from her torment and suffering, and become a hero-like existence. It wasn’t deliberate, but instinctual. That perhaps may be the last thing he strongly clung to within his decadent lifestyle.

That was why he took care of Snow, who lose her sight, as well as Elena who was in dire straits, and now, it was Shen DaiYing.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t become anyone’s hero.

Snow ultimately left him and joined the Holy Light Church, Elena would leave him sooner or later, and Shen DaiYing never once asked anything from him.

So not only did he not become a hero, he also couldn’t even get a girlfriend.

“Sigh, as expected it’s just better to laze around. I’m more suited to be a normal person without a sense of existence.”

Lin Xiao repeatedly warned Elena to not reveal this information, and to set it aside for now, and that locating her missing niece was more important. To that, Elena was noncommittal.

“So you’re going to give up and not like her anymore? It seems like your feelings was just that.”

She wanted to kick him while he’s down for a long time already, it would be even better if she makes him cry!

He was just a stinking toad that wanted to eat princess meat, how could she fall in love with a damn pervert? It’s obviously impossible.

Elena hatefully thought about how he could only rely on the slave contract to bully her. Yet he got in over his head and tried to save the princess, how laughable.

Elena suspected that it was because she was too kind towards him and indulged him too much which made him mistakenly believe how amazing of a person he actually is. Since such a beauty would become his maid, what else couldn’t he do?

Foolish.

Maybe she should scold him more from now on, and let him understand that he’s just an unmotivated fool.

Elena was thinking about her plans from now on.

“Eh… give up? No, of course not, I just realized something.”

He wasn’t a kid anymore, yet he was still so foolish and finally noticed it at the end.

“Then, what do you plan to do next.” Elena elatedly ate the food that she made by mixing up the salt and sugar, while jokingly asking, “Hire her to kill me? After all, she’s such a powerful killer, I definitely wouldn’t be able to beat her.”

“Kill you? Impossible, you’re my maid.”

“… tsk. Then, are you going to confess again? And say that you’ll love her even if she’s a killer?”

“Uh… no.” Lin Xiao shook his head.

He never understood what she meant when she told him, ‘I don’t need your kindness’ until now.

“Whatever, I’ll take it one step at a time.”

He won’t sell her out, and similarly wont easily give up, he’ll still continue his ‘hero’ dream, but he cant be as impulsive as before, he had to wait for the right timing.

Her next assassination target is a good place to start.

After all, right now her favorable impression of him isn’t that high, if 100 points was her marrying him then it was probably at 10 points right now.

Of course, only Shen DaiYing herself knew the real number of points.

“Sigh, let’s just finish eating and go to sleep early, we still have to get up early tomorrow.” Lin Xiao sighed, tossed aside the bothersome things, and finally sat down at the table to eat.

Damn, this idiotic maid mixed up the salt and sugar again… after tasting it, Lin Xiao felt like his stomach would be tormented to shit by Elena sooner or later.

“Hmph, you don’t have to eat it… So where are you going early tomorrow?”

“The new Saint’s coming, so I’ll accompany you to take a look.” Lin Xiao painfully forced a couple of bites in to fill his stomach.

“Accompany me? Don’t you have a fight tomorrow? … I don’t need your company.”

From what she knew, tomorrow was the finals between him and Caesar, where would he get the time to see the new Saint?

“Who cares about the competition, I can’t let you go alone, right?”

“Tsk, stop saying such disgusting things. You just don’t want to fight with Caesar, right?” Elena didn’t fall for it, and saw through his lies right away.

“Take it however you want.” Lin Xiao shook his head and didn’t argue with her.

Tomorrow the new Saint would arrive, it wasn’t anything big, but the unease in his heart was getting stronger.

…

The next day

It was the most important part, the intramural selection competition at last welcomed the finals.

The two generals of the magic department, Caesar vs Lin Xiao. Who would take the crown and become number one of Loran Academy?

Caesar has waited a long time for this day!

Originally, he should have been very excited and moved, but now he felt extremely uncomfortable, because of who his opponent was.

The people he faced earlier were no challenge, they could even make him get serious. Caesar had hoped to meet two people in this competition, one was Sam, and the other was Shen DaiYing.

Nothing needs to be said about Sam, they were old rivals, he has wanted to beat him in a competition fair and square for a while. As for Shen DaiYing, he was oppressed by her multiple times during practice, as a man, he had to beat her to save some face.

But he would never have that chance anymore, since both of them were offed by Lin Xiao!

Although Caesar has never looked down on Lin Xiao, but he never thought that he would meet him in the finals.

‘Chantless instant cast’, he’s already heard about him defeating Shen DaiYing, learning such an advanced technique at such a young age, very admirable, but no matter how powerful he was, Caesar had to defeat him!

If not for his honor, but for upholding a man’s dignity. His fiancée being disrespected in front of the audience by Lin Xiao, he had to make Lin Xiao pay.

After the fight, Caesar heard that Lin Xiao actually kidnapped the princess in front of the audience, took her to an empty classroom, and did some captivity play!

Was it just a rumor?

No, that day everyone saw Lin Xiao embrace the princess, so it wasn’t a rumor. Then the two ran off to who knows where, when they saw Shen DaiYing again, her shorts and pantyhose were gone and she was wearing Lin Xiao’s coat around her waist.

What happened? Why did the princess take off her shorts and was wearing someone else’s clothes? They’re still saying nothing happened between them? Who would believe that!

After finding out about it, a lot of people wanted to beat Lin Xiao to death, and help the princess kill that damn pervert!

Yet, the princess herself explained that Lin Xiao never did anything out of place to her, and that they were good friends. He only took her away because he wanted to help treat her injuries.

A secret medicine from the Eastern tribe, that was how Shen DaiYing explained it.

Of course, if a similar excuse was used too many times, the students weren’t all idiots, they would notice something.

Considering that Shen DaiYing was Caesar’s fiancée, some people came to him to ask about Lin Xiao and Shen DaiYing’s relationship.

Peh, how would he know what their relationship is?

What can he do, he was also in despair!

It was frustrating being the fiancé.

His standing on the matter was very delicate, taking a thousand steps back, he hoped that something happened between Lin Xiao and Shen DaiYing.

Actually, Caesar didn’t want to get married, if Shen DaiYing actually did something like that and had an affair, he could go back to the palace and request his father to annul the engagement. At that time, no matter what the empress did, Shen DaiYing will never enter their household.

But… cough, that plan was a double edged sword.

His own fiancée messing around with another man, it didn’t sound good no matter how you said it. Furthermore, Caesar cared about his reputation, although wearing a green hat would free him from this political marriage, and he really wanted to try it, but that is separate from actually doing it.

If Lin Xiao actaully hammered a green hat onto his head one day, he would feel like shit.

So, he definitely couldn’t lose to Lin Xiao!

If he didn’t give Lin Xiao a beating, where would his face be as the official fiancé?
