Carn realized she was definitely going to get scolded repeatedly after ghosting Veronica yet again.
"Ugh, this is all your fault, Guild Leader!" Carn glared at Xu Feng. "Why is it that everyti I adventured with you, the ti is always going by so fast?"
"Eh?" Startled, Xu Feng didn't expect to be scolded for that. He was innocent in this aspect as well.
It was not like he asked to be sent into a different ti operating session.
Still, as the guild leader, it was his responsibility.
"Did sothing happen again?" Xu Feng asked in a concerned tone. "If there is, just tell
and I'll see what I can do about it."
Hearing that, Carn also realized it was wrong of her to bla everything on Xu Feng.
"Sigh, it's not really your fault either, Guild Leader." Carn lowered her head slightly and proceeded to explain how she planned on poaching her friend, Veronica, but ghosted her again.
Once she finished relaying the events, Xu Feng was also rendered speechless by the unlucky timing. Two tis, Carn failed to respond to her friend because of the Divine World's unconventional ti zone difference.
Having understood the gist of her situation, Xu Feng could sympathize with her outburst.
After all, he had once been on the receiving end as being the person getting ghosted. To retaliate against them, Xu Feng even gave them a fierce punch in the face to release his anger.
That said person was none other than Zhao Kai, which was why the situation was quite awkward. Given that the "Zhao Kai" now was Carn, even he was sowhat helpless by the situation. Stay updated with empire
In the end, Xu Feng patted Carn's shoulder and said, "Just say your guild leader, aka , was being a pain in the butt and took most of your ti."
"Eh?" Dumbfounded, Carn didn't expect him to really take the bla for her.
"Are you sure about that?" Her eyes sparkled in joy, almost as if she had found a scapegoat for her crisis.
Seeing her excitent, Xu Feng facepald. It appeared that she truly wished to push the bla on him. "Yes, so just go and pacify your friend now.'
"I can leave right now?" Uncertain about it, Carn turned her attention to Earthrender.
"Aside from this man, the two of you are free to leave," Earthrender said in a friendly tone.
"Eh, but what about the task Conductor Yaren assigned ?" Crimson Heart asked in a doubtful tone.
The reason why they were here in the first place was to gather Silver Glyph Fragnts. Yet she hadn't even gathered one of them after all this ti.
"Yaren's assignnt?" Confused for a mont, Earthrender asked, "Are you talking about the Silver Glyph Fragnt?"
Nodding, Crimson Heart continued, "Yes, Conductor Yaren said we can only return if we gathered enough. Otherwise, it's considered a failure. We don't need to return to the stage and just wait for the reward afterward."
"Oh, then you can relax. Yaren got it already and she rely said it to ensure you all won't slack off." Earthrender slamd its tail on the ground, seemingly amused by Yaren's shrewdness.
"Bruh…" Crimson Heart was rendered speechless. She had taken this task with extre determination to win, but to her disbelief, Yaren never expected them to succeed.
"So everything from the beginning was a conspiracy to make us undergo this test of yours?"
Earthrender nodded and proceeded to explain why he even bothered to compensate them. To ensure the imrsion, they purposely concealed the matter and deceived them.
However, it kind of got ruined thanks to a certain smarty-pant.
Recalling how Xu Feng not only sabotaged the other potential successor but also the illusion test indirectly, Earthrender glared at him fiercely.
"Are you going to make a move against your successor?" Feeling a slight killing intent, Xu Feng remained calm and asked softly.
Knowing that Earthrender couldn't make a move against him, Xu Feng was rather bold and courageous.
After all, finding another successor was definitely not going to be easy.
Additionally, he was positive that it was sohow rushing for ti, given that it had collaborated with Yaren in scheming at the Paradise Plains main competition.
Such a risk, if exposed and learned by the officials, its Abyssal Rift habitat would be raided. This concerned the reputation and honor of Paradise Plains after all.
Thus, Earthrender's gifts were not simply an apology, but a bribery to keep their mouths shut.
"Yaren ntioned that you are free to return once you're done and she will internally let the two of you decide on who is the ultimate winner," Earthrender explained and removed the restriction on the area.
"But for now, the two of you can exit here. I still have so private discussion with this man here."
"I have a na, okay. You can call
Feng, or even a healer would be better." Xu Feng chid in.
"Whatever, man." Earthrender snorted and patiently waited for Carn and Crimson Heart to leave.
"I guess we can decide who will win once you're out." Crimson Heart said and teleported away. Based on her expression alone, it was evident that she wanted to inspect the two items she had received.
As for Carn, she simply waved her hands and said, "I might leave Paradise Plains early, Guild Leader."
"Go ahead and tell your friend she is free to enjoy a 20 percent discount on all Vanguard-related business if she were to arrive at Star Falls City." Xu Feng exclaid.
"You can't go back on your words then." Carn smiled blissfully and teleported away a few seconds later.
Now the area only had Xu Feng and Earthrender remaining in the area.
"So my reward—"
Before Xu Feng could finish his words, Earthrender interrupted him and conjured a portal.
"Follow
and make sure to not unleash your mana," Earthrender warned sternly. "We're going to a sensitive place and any mana fluctuation could affect the environnt."
A bit startled, Xu Feng was confused but still nodded in response and followed him.
