CH 538

During the academy tournament, when ShenDai Ying fell into Charles’s trap and got electrocuted, she didn’t pass out and almost finished off Charles. From that one could see that her resistance to magic saved her life.

In Snow’s opinion, the reason the bug went back to sleep was first because of Lin Xiao awakening her and second because of her natural resistance to magic power.

“So don’t worry, she’ll make it!”

“But why is she…”

“Idiot, do you think she’s you, do you think she has unlimited energy? She’s exhausted after that fight, along with you messing around in her head, she’s completely spent! … Anyways, don’t worry. We have the fruits, so I can crack the black core soon and develop the cure and help your sister Ying!”

“Really?”

“Of course!” Snow confidently patted her chest, but she lacked confidence as she spoke and stopped moving and muttered, “But brother…”

“Hm? What is it?”

“Just… no! It’s nothing, you’ll find out tomorrow anyways.”

“Tomorrow? … Snow, are you still hiding something from me?”

“It’s nothing! ShenDai Ying is just too tired, I’ll find some people to use blessing prayers for her overnight and then along with some supplements, she’ll be fine.”

“Really? You better not be trying to trick me…”

“Who would! Do you not trust me? … Okay then, let me promise you! When you wake up tomorrow, you’ll see a beautiful ShenDia Ying smiling and saying good morning, is that fine?”

“Uh… okay then.”

Lin Xiao still wasn’t sure, but Snow wouldn’t lie to him, so he just patted her head and went to sleep.

Although he was still full of magic power and his wound was healed by Elena, but he was just too tired.

It was late and he was too tired to go back to the inn, so he went to the church’s dorms and Elona lead him to an empty room and he immediately went to sleep.

Right now, sleeping wasn’t just to replenish magic, but also to organize his thoughts.

Although he successfully brought the fruit back and Snow promised she would quickly develop a cure, he felt like some things were still far from over.

He’s been so busy recently that he hasn’t had the free time to just think, now that he could relax a bit, he realized that he was already swept in deep. In the start, he was just a normal investigator and came for this S rank mission, but now that the mission was already over, he still couldn’t leave this city.

He didn’t want to stick his nose into everything, but for Elena, he was still swept up in the Enlightenment society’s plot.

He didn’t want to be a hero, but for ShenDai Ying, he had to personally find the third apostle to get revenge!

There were so many things he didn’t want to do but in the end, he still did them… perhaps what he said to Xiao Tian was right, that sometimes one had to walk in the opposite direction of their goals.

“Speaking of that, he’s changed a lot recently…”

He still doesn’t know whether Xiao Tian met the third apostle or not and what he talked to him about. The bad news was that Xiao Tian still wouldn’t admit that he met the third apostle and Lin Xiao couldn’t interrogate him and could only observe his behavior.

He was originally an optimistic and cheerful boy, but on the way back, he became silent and depressed and it was like he was a completely different person.

The reason Lin Xiao wasn’t happy was because Sister Ying was in trouble, but why was Xiao Tian unhappy? Wasn’t his beloved sister right next to him?

“Could the third apostle have said something to him?”

Lin Xiao eliminated all other possibilities and the only answer he arrived at was that bastard doing something.

But… although Lin Xiao could guess who was behind it, he had no energy to think about other things. He still had a lot of things to do, so how could he play therapist for Xiao Tian? Also, he had such a gentle and loving sister with him, so Lin Xiao didn’t think that he would do anything really stupid.

If he were really that stupid… then it couldn’t be helped.

“Yawn… I wonder what Caesar will do next.”

Lin Xiao rolled over and suddenly thought about his stubborn friend.

Caesar had already obtained information about the missing Holy sword and was headed forth to investigate, but he suddenly got information about Lin Xiao being in danger, so he went to help him instead. Although neither of them said anything, he was touched by Caesar’s choice, but unfortunately, Caesar went for nothing and his information expired.

But that was nothing to Caesar, as long as he didn’t stop looking, he could always find more information. Since Lin Xiao was fine and the final ingredient needed was already in their hands, then there was nothing left to do in this city and he could finally leave for the front lines to investigate!

Where was the missing sword? What are they planning to do with it? Will Caesar be able to find it and return to become the hero’s disciple?

Those answers will slowly be revealed along with Caesar’s departure, but none of that had anything to do with Lin Xiao.

But, he shouldn’t say that. Every time he says that and says that he won’t get involved no matter what… he ends up being slapped in the face with his own words and now his face was already too swollen.

“Impossible! I definitely won’t slap myself again, even if Claire kneels down and begs me, I won’t give a shit about the rebellion…”

Lin Xiao fell asleep thinking about that tomboy. Yes, he didn’t lie, this time he was resolved, he won’t help no matter what even if she begs, but he forgot about something…

What if he voluntarily goes and helps?

…

…

The youth fell deep asleep but didn’t know that it would last a full two days. Although nothing big happened, but there were still some ripples.

As Lin Xiao was blissfully asleep, everyone else was quite busy. He thought he didn’t do much and just picked some fruits and chased away a bad guy. But he never expected what happened in the plague zone to frighten so many people. The first was Mina!

Mina fainted from personally witnessing eighth-level magic, when she returned, she immediately reported everything she saw to Deborah.

Deborah thought it was too exaggerated like it was out of a fairy tale, but she knew Mina wasn’t one to lie and exaggerate, and Lin Xiao was fancied by the princess and the grand Marshall, so it was possible.

So she immediately recorded everything and urgently delivered the information to Claire.

You would have expected that princess Claire would be surprised and immediately go visit Lin Xiao when he returned since she was in love with him…

But what was surprising was that after receiving Deborah’s letter, Claire was indifferent and just reread it to make sure she didn’t miss anything and then burned it. The next day, she did what she had to do like nothing had happened.

She clearly liked Lin Xiao and even mustered the courage to confess, so why was she acting so cold?

“My daughter, are you really not going to see him?”

The old man lying on the bed smiled and asked.
