Sorry Caesar, I cant join your team.
Lin Xiao fell silent for a mont and responded. Before Caesar could question him, everyone else in the room started making cynical remarks.
Tsk, if you dont want to join you dont want to join, it cant be helped that youre a coward thats afraid of death.
Right, its not like anyones forcing him to join, its just a brat, even if he goes, hell just get in the way.
Abra, Caesar, you guys neednt waste any more ti. Lets wait one more day, if we cant find anyone else, then its not a big deal even if theres two people less.
Thats right! Were enough to finish off those damn demons!
The crowd started to make a commotion. Abra stayed silent and didnt say anything, but it didnt refect well on Caesar, he wanted to call out Lin Xiao, but he couldnt find anything to say, so he just endured with a flushed face.
ShenDai Ying, youre also an investigator, right? Caesar didnt back down and turned to soone else for help.
Un, yes. ShenDai Ying weakly nodded.
Do you want to join us? Youre very strong and your sword skills are even better than mine if we have you, our chances of winning will increase drastically!
Hm, that
ShenDai Ying smiled and looked at Caesar, then at Lin Xiao. She thought for a mont and shifted backwards by a step and stood behind Lin Xiao, like she was trying to show where she stood.
Sorry Caesar, Im on Lin Xiaos team this ti.
What does that have to do with anything?
Hes my team leader so I have to listen to him, hehe.
ShenDai Ying smiled, even though she was saying sothing infuriating for Caesar, her charming temperant made it difficult for anyone to rebuke her.
Damn, when did that woman go to Lin Xiaos side? Isnt she my fiancee? Secretly forming a team with Lin Xiao was one thing, but why was she listening to everything he said?
That thought flashed by in Caesars mind, but he didnt have ti to complain. Since ShenDai Ying was listening to Lin Xiao, then all he had to do was persuade Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao, why? Why are you refusing? Are you afraid? No, I dont believe youre that kind of person! We once stood together and youve never let down!
Uh, Caesar, what you just said sounds kinda gay. Lin Xiao scratched his head and revealed a rarely seen expression.
For Lin Xiao, it didnt matter how other people slandered him, they were all strangers that he would probably never et again anyways. But he couldnt take Caesars expectations and requests.
He didnt know why this handso guy had so much trust in him, and it was hard to refuse his earnest gaze, it felt like if he said no then he would imdiately cry for him.
Lin Xiao had a thick skin and never really cares what others say about him, he just didnt like others begging him especially with an earnest gaze full of expectations like Caesar, he couldnt bear to let them down.
Caesar treated him as a comrade-in-arms, as a brother. He also admired Caesar as a person and treated him as a good friend. Although he often made his friends into scapegoats cough cough, anyways, Lin Xiao was willing to put in so work if he could help Caesar.
But it couldnt be helped, he couldnt accept this ti.
To others, this may just be a matter of normal demonic beasts blocking the way, but Lin Xiao knew that it was definitely not this simple.
The investigators were gathering and headed for Gotham Kingdom and the demonic beasts blocked the path at such a crucial ti, this was definitely no re coincidence!
Not ntioning whether this had anything to do with the Enlightened society or not, but since high-level demons appeared then they may be soone that Elena knows and he could possibly find out more about the rebellion through them, so Lin Xiao had to carefully investigate!
He already confird this with Elena through their eyes, she also had the sa thoughts as him.
Since they needed to investigate, then that ans they needed ample ti. If he joined them, even if they were able to drive them away, they would never find out the truth.
So, he couldnt join Caesar and had to act alone. Not just that, he also had to think of a way to delay them, otherwise they might alert the demons and ruin everything!
But how would he delay them from setting out?
Not to even ntion a few days, he realized that he had to give Caesar a satisfactory answer right now
Just as Lin Xiao fell silent and the atmosphere in the room beca more and more stiff, a sudden timid voice broken the silence.
Um, I heard arguing from outside earlier is sothing wrong?
Hm?
Lin Xiao looked back and saw that it was Yao Zi pulling her foolish little brother along.
Lin Xiaos eyes sparkled when he saw them and finally thought of a way!
Caesars problem was that he was missing two people, since Lin Xiao didnt want to join, then he just had to find two substitutes!
Hehe, Yao Zi, Xiao Tian, you two ca right on ti, co here!
Eh? Us?
Yao Zi stopped and didnt understand what he ant, but still obediently dragged her brother over.
When Xiao Tian saw his smile, he unconsciously trembled and quietly asked.
Brother Xiao, what kind of wicked idea did you co up with this ti?
Tsk, you really dont know how to say the right words, but this is for your own good.
For our good?
Thats right, didnt you always want to be in the lilight and be a hero, now that opportunity is here!
Really?
Xian Tians eyes sparkled when he heard that as he repeatedly nodded and stood next to his sister ready to listen for that opportunity.
Cough let introduce you guys. Lin Xiao cleared his throat and pointed to Yao Zi and Lin Tian, This is Yao Zi and her little brother Lin Tian, theyre also investigators and theyre willing to join you guys.
Yao Zi, Lin Tian?
Abra didnt understand what was going on and he looked around at the other people in the room and got a similarly blank look.
Similar to Lin Xiao, these two were also around Lin Xiaos age, but they looked even more immature and looked extrely normal compared to Caesars maturity or Lin Xiaos laziness.
Uh, Abra, I think we need so sort of minimum requirents.
Thats right, we need so test or sothing, we cant just take everyone that cos.
Before Abra could say anything, the others started making a commotion.
First it was a coward and now it was so inexperienced brats, even if they were lacking people, they couldnt take just anybody!
Hehe, I understand, youre looking down on them because of their age, but these two are the champion of this years academy tournant!
Champions?
Abra blinked and was a bit surprised.
They definitely werent normal if they could win the academy tournant, even if it was just luck they still must have so skill.
But it still wasnt enough.
So what? Thats a competition for kids, its different from a real fight!
Thats right, only soone like Caesar has the courage to deal with demonic beasts. If we bring you, youll probably just piss your pants!
Unfortunately, Lin Xiaos words werent enough, other than Abra and Caesar actually considering whether to bring them or not, everyone else expressed a strong disdain for them and didnt want to take in two brats.
Cough everyone I understand your feelings. Lin Xiao coughed and waved his hands to get everyone to settle down, This tis S rank mission concerns everyones safety here so I can understand all your concerns, but I can guarantee that these two will definitely bring you victory!
Hmph, stinking brat, what are you basing that on? A man in the corner aggressively called out.
No wonder he was angry, everyone was discussing plans when all of a sudden a brat who doesnt know his place ca out of nowhere. First it was being cowardly and not joining, then he dragged in two brats that looked even weaker than he was and shalessly boasted that those two could help them win.
Wasnt he looking down on them too much? Did he think those demons were made out of paper and theyll win just because he said so?
If it wasnt for the fact that Lin Xiao was Caesars friend, they would have already kicked him out a long ti ago.
Hehe, based on what?
Lin Xiao scanned his gaze across the room, finally landing his eyes on Yao Zi. He stuck out a finger and pointed at her while announcing .
Based on the fact that she has the wizards bloodline!
The room instantly fell silent and only those words echoed next to their ears.
Wizards bloodline that familiar yet unfamiliar word.
Familiar because everyone has heard of the legends, unfamiliar because no one has ever seen one in real life, they just thought it was a story.
And now, the legend was right in front of them this timid girl, Yao Zi, had the wizards bloodline?
