“Looking for someone?” Qiu Nian asked suspiciously, “It’s not that I don’t believe you. If you are also interested in the treasures in the tower, just earn it according to your ability. There is no need to hide it.”

When he said that, the head of the mercenary group relaxed somewhat, and said with a wry smile, “Why should I lie to you? I can’t say much. Anyway, I won’t snatch things from you.”

The dwarf poked his head out and greeted Qiu Nian, “You guys are going to the center too? But aren’t you a little short-handed? There are dangers everywhere here.”

Qiu Nian remembered this dwarf, he crosses his arms and replied, “Yes, why don’t we go together?”

They really don’t have enough manpower. Since everyone is going to the same destination anyway, and the more people there are, the safer it will be. As for the rest, they can negotiate again after they find the center tower.

The head of the mercenary group showed hesitation, Qiu Nian directly summoned a ball of purple lightning and threw it at a tree not far away. The place where the thick trunk was hit was blackened and cracked, and fell down.

Qiu Nian withdrew his hand, and bowed briefly to the people opposite him, “Let me introduce myself again, my name is Qiu Nian, from Huo Yuan City, a fifth-class lightning magician.”

Lighting magicians are very rare. The head of the mercenary group calmed down and looked at Qiu Nian seriously, then said bluntly, “Alright.”

The road chosen by Lin An has denser trees, and the crowns of the trees all grow crowded together. The trunks below are twisted and crooked, and the ground where the sun does not shine through is wet.

Lin An simply put Xi Ning on his back, asked him to put on the hood, and walked through here carefully.

Xi Ning roguely leaned on his shoulder, he saw a bit of exposed skin from the edge of Lin An’s mask, and suddenly found that there was also a little black mark on Lin An’s right ear.

He reached out to touch it, Lin An stopped and turned his head, “Don’t move.”

Hearing what he said, Xi Ning wanted to move even more, he pinched and played with his earlobe, and saw a thick black line extending down Lin An’s right neck along his neck and shirt to his body

Xi Ning was about to unbutton Lin An’s clothes, Lin An walked a few steps and stopped again, and pulled Xi Ning to his front.

The ground here is too wet, and the soles of his shoes are full of mud when he stepped on them. Lin An didn’t put Xi Ning down completely, but hugged his waist tightly, letting him step on his shoes.

Lin An used one hand to straighten his collar, while raising his eyes to look at Xi Ning, “Don’t move around, I’ll let you down after I get out of here.”

Xi Ning recalled that when he was alone with Lin An these two days, he really didn’t let himself see his face again, not like previously he would take it off at his orders when he was in the convoy.

He wanted Lin An to take off his mask and talk to him, so he hooked his neck and leaned closer, “I want to kiss you, so take off your mask.”

Lin An looked at him silently, as if trying to discern the authenticity of his words, Xi Ning also added, “Don’t cast spells on me.”

Xi Ning stroked Lin An’s Adam’s apple, as if smoothing his hair, and said softly, “Please? Let me kiss you.”

Yesterday he still said that he wanted to kiss Xi Ning, but today the two of them seemed to have switched identities. Lin An found that he could not see through Xi Ning more and more, and could never guess what he would do.

At first, when Xi Ning paid attention to him and asked him to be by his side to take care of him, he felt that Xi Ning did it out of sympathy for him, but what about now? In order for him to dispel his doubts and let his guard down, is he even willing to do all this to this extent?

Lin An pushed the mask up a little, and it just stuck under the tip of the nose. Even if the eyes were covered, it didn’t matter. He held the back of Xi Ning’s head and kissed it accurately, and forcefully opened his teeth.

Xi Ning couldn’t push him away, his face was uncomfortably pressed by the mask, and he bit Lin An several times but he didn’t respond at all.

The strength of his struggle gradually became weaker, and finally he condensed a cloud of spiritual energy and patted Lin An. Lin An let out a muffled grunt, and then let go of him.

Lin An put on the mask, he saw the marks on Xi Ning’s face and the look of grievance, and was very distressed. He stretched out a hand to touch his side face, “Do you still want to kiss?”

Xi Ning was angry and annoyed, while struggling, “Let me go, I won’t go back with you!”

“It’s not up to you.”

Lin An tidied up Xi Ning’s cloak and hood, and just hugged him in his arms and walked forward. Xi Ning couldn’t break free, and gradually calmed down, leaning against Lin An obediently.

After a long time, Lin An thought that Xi Ning was probably asleep, he suddenly heard him say, “I like you, can’t you see it?”

Lin An paused, then continued walking as if he hadn’t heard anything.

Xi Ning raised his head, “Hey, I’m talking to you.”

Lin An didn’t answer, walked out of the forest and put him down, leaning against a tree trunk, “I heard.”

This was what he was looking forward to the most, and he thought it was the most unlikely thing to happen. He suddenly heard Xi Ning say it himself, but Lin An was not excited at all. His brain was extremely calm, and he quickly analyzed the authenticity of Xi Ning’s words.

Lin An even thought of a possibility, whether he was poisoned by the poisonous gas of the surrounding trees when he entered the ghost forest, and now he is indulging in the illusion

he wove.

After calming down himself, Lin An frowned and raised his head, “Let’s go, we have to go back to the tower first.”

He turned around and left, Xi Ning followed closely behind him, keenly noticed that his walking posture was stiff, the hands hanging by his sides were tightly clenched, and the protruding veins could be vaguely seen.

Xi Ning thought it was fun, and reached out to hold him, “Why are you walking so fast?”

Lin An’s arms trembled and he stopped, his body became even stiffer, “……It’s nothing, I want to go back as soon as possible.”

“Why didn’t you answer me?” Xi Ning went around to him and carefully looked at his eyes under the mask, “Since you heard everything, why didn’t you react at all?”

It’s not that Lin An didn’t respond, it’s just that he thought it was impossible. His brain seemed to automatically find different excuses for Xi Ning’s words, and he was completely unwilling to think that what he said was true.

Xi Ning was standing in front of him. The afternoon sun shone on his hair, which seemed to be shining, and his eyes were serious and persistent. For a moment, Lin An felt that this elf was really showing love to him.

Lin An stood where he was for a long time, stretched out his hand and slowly took off the mask, exposing his face to the sunlight, and said in a low voice, “Do you think anyone would like this face?”
