Chapter 18: Choice

What? The Chivalric Order of the Moon? Ji Bai slowly put away his dagger as he sized up Lin Tuo with a flabbergasted look.

How about it? Do you feel flattered that a renowned group such as ourselves has given you such a high evaluation?

I have never even heard of your group before. Ji Bai shrugged spilling his innermost thoughts.

Cough! Cough! You you little youngster! Even if thats the truth; theres no need to be so straightforward about it alright? Life is hard enough as it is theres no need to burst someones bubble like that got it? Lin Tuo coughed a few more times to cover up his embarrassment and gave Ji Bai a nasty look.

Im sorry but I have never heard of this organization before. Does such a chivalric group even exist? Dont tell me Is it an illegal organization? Ji Bai tilted his head as he asked. The catgirl who was by his side shook her adorable ears; She had a clueless expression on her face that looked like a =A=. However in Ji Bais case on the other hand the glance he shot towards Lin Tuo was turning weirder by the second.

This assumption didnt come from Ji Bais prejudice or the lack of it. If this was a chivalric group that even he himself had not heard about then it was probably an unofficial group that was uncertified and unregulated by the Sacred Martial Association. To put it bluntly and simply such organization was a type of secret society that was likely founded by a group of dubious individuals meaning they would frequently do things that violated the law.

As he thought up to this point Ji Bai narrowed his eyes staring at Lin Tuo with a trace of vigilance.

Someone dressed in this western-style attire with a pretentious air around him was generally a dodgy person let alone the peculiar actions of the other party. Ji Bai felt that he was obligated to fulfill his duty even as a retired knight to catch this prick and send him to the relevant authorities if he ascertained that any of his actions were out of line.

Eh??? How can you have such thoughts youngster?! If anything else just look at this amazingly dignified and gentlemanly face of mine! How could I possibly have the slightest connection to those [derogatory terms]? Lin Tuo said with an eloquent yet forceful tone. At the same time he gathered whatever reputation he had left and moved his aged face closer to Ji Bai.

If more people like you existed on this planet there would definitely be a lot less conflict. Lan Yi left that meaningful sentence behind before she turned around to inform Lin Tuo that it was time to leave.

I have a question.

As long as it doesnt touch upon any classified information and is within my circle of knowledge. Yi Lan didnt turn her body back.

Where are you bringing this little cat?

We will seek her opinion regarding this. We can send her back to her homeland Dont be so shocked we do indeed have that ability. Or If she is unwilling to return she can also choose to stay at our headquarters. We wont mistreat her anyways its up for her to choose.

Is that so?

Well then youngster. Make your choice. Its already late. Yi Lan turned her head back and looked back at Ji Bai who was behind her.

I must refuse. After a brief period of hesitation Ji Bai still chose to refuse Lan Yis proposal. This was the result of careful deliberation.

He was no longer suited to be a knight after being cursed by a vampire. It would have been the same even if it was an uncertified chivalric order Ever since Ji Bai left the vampire castle the place where light never shines he had only given thought of wanting to find a job and be a commoner for his entire life. Occasionally he would maybe become a part of the special forces or even a summoner however he would no longer cause any trouble for mankind. As a knight that was already considered deceased by society this was the last thing that only he could do.

As I thought~ Lan Yi smiled. She then waved her hands signaling to Lin Tuo that they were leaving after doing so she crouched in front of the catgirl. Follow us. Theres no need to be afraid well send you to your hometown safely.

Lan Yi who always had a cold expression on her face revealed a tender smile at this moment.

Nyauu~? The little cat tilted her head. She looked at Yi Lan that had a kind expression on her face before switching her gaze towards Ji Bai who was silent. In an instant she withdrew herself behind the leg of Ji Bais trousers.

This young woman seems to like you a lot.

Ji Bai was somewhat helpless as he looked at the cat-eared girl who was grabbing onto his trouser leg refusing to let go. He couldnt remember when he was popular with small animals.
