Lin Jichen was still clueless, as he was far away and had no idea what they were talking about.
However, he did manage to get over a hundred battle rits from the Crystal Elder they killed.
He didn't lift a finger; it was all thanks to Panda Xiong.
The pet's contributions naturally counted towards the owner's.
Getting over a hundred battle rits for free, Lin Jichen happily walked over.
"You guys are impressive, taking down a mid-Crystal Formation enemy."
Lin Jichen originally ca over just to give so praise and make an appearance, but when he arrived, he sensed sothing was off.
At this mont, his male intuition told him it was best not to linger.
"Um... I'll go see if anyone else needs help."
Lin Jichen turned to leave but was stopped by Ren Lan.
"Little Lin, did you just say we were impressive?"
"Yeah, really impressive," Lin Jichen nodded, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Ren Lan suddenly asked a 'terrifying' question.
"So, who do you think is more impressive, or her?"
"Who are you talking about..." Lin Jichen asked cautiously.
"Who else, the beautiful sister you gave the Mysterious Grade equipnt to," Ren Lan said with a smile.
Lin Jichen's smile froze and gradually turned rigid.
His heart skipped a beat, feeling as if two pairs of eyes were staring at him like lie detectors.
"Ahem, I didn't see how you guys fought, so how would I know who's more impressive? But being able to take down the Crystal Elder ans you're both very impressive."
Lin Jichen chose to play innocent since he hadn't seen anything.
"Just look at the battle rits, isn't that enough?" Jiang Luoyu chid in.
Ren Lan imdiately retorted, "Ha, you're a Foundation Establishnt spell cultivator, and you're only 30 points ahead of in battle rits. If I were in the Foundation Establishnt Realm, you wouldn't even co close to my score."
"So people just like to bla their failures on not being strong enough. It's a typical excuse. Is it so hard to admit soone is better than you?" Jiang Luoyu countered.
"It's not hard, but is it so hard to admit you're not as skilled?" Ren Lan sneered.
"It's not hard, but it depends on who you're comparing to."
"Comparing to you!"
"Anyti!"
***
Gulp.
Lin Jichen swallowed, feeling imnse pressure. Even if thirty Elders ca at him, he wouldn't feel this much stress...
He wasn't the only one confused; Su Wanling and other mbers of the Moon Shadow Guild were equally bewildered.
Su Wanling could never have imagined that her guild leader, her bestie, the always composed Jiang Luoyu, would one day argue with another woman...
And in the middle of the street, no less.
Considering Ren Lan and Lin Jichen's relationship, and Jiang Luoyu's previous opposition to recruiting Ren Lan into the guild, Su Wanling suddenly had a bold idea.
Could the daughter of the richest family... have a thing for Lin Jichen????
Ahhhhh!
This can't be! It's not logical!
Who could possibly catch Jiang Luoyu's eye?
Su Wanling turned to look at Lin Jichen, finding it increasingly unbelievable.
This guy is just a bit handso, right? Jiang Luoyu couldn't be a lookist.
She was sure of it.
After all, what kind of handso n hasn't she seen? Male models, celebrities, princes, scholars—Jiang Luoyu had seen them all.
And if she liked soone, just a hint would have all the handso n in the world lining up to pursue her.
But Jiang Luoyu had never shown any interest. According to her, looks were the second least scarce thing in her family.
As for the least scarce thing, that was naturally money.
So Su Wanling found it hard to believe; it must be her imagination, yes! It was her imagination!
As for Lin Jichen, he was already feeling overwheld.
He regretted letting Ren Lan stay in the Moon Shadow Guild; these two seed to be natural enemies!
What should I do? Oh my god! Aigoo!
With their confrontational stance, if he didn't diate, he wouldn't have any peace.
Separating them was the best course of action.
"Um, I'm going to support other guilds. If they can't handle the Poison Sect Elder, it won't be good. Who wants to co with ?" Lin Jichen asked.
"I'll go!"
"I'll go too!"
Lin Jichen thought only one would volunteer, but to his surprise, both of them spoke up.
"Why are you joining the fun? I'll go with Little Lin," Ren Lan mocked.
Jiang Luoyu didn't back down, "In terms of strength, I seem to be stronger than you. Though you hate to admit it, I'm at mid-Foundation Establishnt, and you're at the later stage of Qi Refining. Clearly, I'm more useful."
"Ha, does Little Lin lack damage output? What he needs is control and soone to tank damage. I can set up and let him unleash his full power. Can you?"
Hearing this, Lin Jichen's expression beca a bit odd. Was she serious?
Apparently, neither Ren Lan nor Jiang Luoyu thought as he did.
Jiang Luoyu retorted, "In terms of control, we spell cultivators have plenty of control skills. I can also let him unleash his full power, and I can even join him in attacking to quickly finish off the enemy."
Lin Jichen looked at Jiang Luoyu again, his thoughts wandering...
"Aren't you the guild leader? You should stay and command. Let's go, Little Lin, don't mind her," Ren Lan said, pulling Lin Jichen to leave.
"Who said I need to command? The guild's commander has always been Wanling. Wanling, take over here," Jiang Luoyu said.
Su Wanling: "...."
Jiang Luoyu ignored her and walked straight to Lin Jichen, looking at him with pleading eyes, "Little Chen, you'll take , right?"
She was really afraid Lin Jichen would refuse. Her jade hand hidden in her robe's sleeve gripped her staff tightly, anxiously waiting for his answer.
Lin Jichen could only manage a bitter smile. What was going on today?
"Well... let's all go together. More hands make light work."
He had no other choice; his plan to separate them had failed!
He could only take them along and find a suitable opportunity to resolve their conflict later.
So, the three of them left the team and headed to another hall.
They hadn't gone far when they saw players outside a hall being beaten back by a Crystal Formation Elder and elite disciples.
Without waiting for Lin Jichen to speak, Jiang Luoyu raised her staff and cast an Ice Seal.
The Crystal Elder was briefly controlled, and Ren Lan imdiately charged in, drawing the Poison Sect Elder's aggro with a flurry of punches.
Both of them shouted simultaneously, "Little Lin (Little Chen), I've got him controlled, attack now!"
Lin Jichen was both amused and exasperated. It seed staying between them would be even more of a headache.
But for now, earning battle rits was the priority.
Seeing Panda Xiong still lounging around lazily, Lin Jichen kicked its plump rear.
"Stop slacking off and get in there!"
Panda Xiong: "????"
