Chapter 43: Qing Lin: Young Master, can I do it?

Desert Iron Mercenary Group, martial arts arena.

A dozen or so mercenaries stood in neat rows, and standing before them were two young men.

One of them, dressed in white, looked relatively steady, while the other revealed a fierce look on his face.

These two were Xiao Yan's eldest brother, Xiao Ding, and second brother, Xiao Li; at this moment, the two of them were teaching the mercenaries Battle Techniques in the martial arts arena.

And at this time, in the backyard of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, a thin girl in green, her face half-hidden by braids made of green hair, walked among the crowd with her head lowered.

She looked extremely young, seemingly not even fourteen years old, and those emerald-green eyes were as calm as water, yet possessed an inexplicable magic, like the cold eyes of a snake, which would draw one in upon a single glance.

"Are you blind?"

Gu Fei spoke up.

Come to think of it, she was extremely innocent and had never committed any wrong.

"Little girl, do you want to never be discriminated against again from now on?"

Snake-People and humans seem to be born with mutual hatred.

The man turned his head impatiently, and upon seeing a green braid and green clothing with a highly exotic flair, he began to curse loudly.

She only dared to hide in a deserted place, squatting down, burying her head between her legs, and sobbing in a low voice.

"I am willing to take Young Master as my master!"

Xiao Yixian had also heard before that near the Tagor Desert, there were occasionally incidents of human women being humiliated by Snake-People.

Suddenly, a voice rang out in Qing Lin's ear.

Gu Fei nodded.

Qing Lin was very moved, but her gaze still looked at Gu Fei with some trepidation.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li looked at each other, their eyes filled with gratitude.

Qing Lin slowly recounted that she was going to apprentice under Senior Gu Fei and would be leaving.

These two were naturally Gu Fei and Xiao Yixian, who had rushed over to the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

【Qing Lin experiences hesitation, Emotion Value +70】

"In consideration of the fact that you two have taken care of Qing Lin before, take these two Pills; they are beneficial to your cultivation and can also repair many hidden injuries in your bodies."

"Seeing you is truly bad luck!"

They had initially thought they had provoked such a powerhouse and had been worried and fearful all the way here.

【Qing Lin experiences yearning, Emotion Value +100】

Both of them had just been concealing their own aura, and from high in the sky, they had seen some of the unfair treatment Qing Lin had suffered.

Possessing both human and Snake-People bloodlines, Qing Lin bore the discrimination and disgust of both sides.

"Come with us, this big brother is very powerful... later, when your cultivation becomes stronger, no one will dare to bully you again!"

People of the type like Qing Lin are viewed as a curse by both humans and Snake-People.

And after Gu Fei learned of Xiao Yixian's emotions, he also told her about Qing Lin's life story.

"You can do it; since I have chosen you, it proves you have that potential!"

Afterwards, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li quickly came over to Gu Fei's side.

Qing Lin said solemnly: "However, the two leaders of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group have shown me kindness and previously took me in to work here, so before I leave, I must go and say goodbye to them, lest the two of them worry."

The person asking this was none other than Gu Fei, who had quietly snuck into the Desert Iron Mercenary Group!

【Qing Lin experiences bewilderment, Emotion Value +70】

Qing Lin looked at Gu Fei and Xiao Yixian with some bewilderment.

【Xiao Yixian experiences anger and heartache, Emotion Value +100】

Without waiting for them to react, he took Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian and left.

"Young Master, I, can I really do it?"

【Xiao Li experiences happiness, Emotion Value +50】

No matter where the green-clad girl went, anyone she encountered, whether it was a mercenary or a servant hired by the mercenary group, looked at her with eyes almost entirely filled with disgust.

Being able to live for so many years, besides receiving more cold shoulders and mockery, there seemed to be nothing else.

Qing Lin could not stop sobbing in a low voice, but held her breath the moment she heard the voice.

Facing this undisguised malice, the girl's eyes were very timid, and she never dared to resist.

She lowered her head and accidentally bumped into a tall man.

【Xiao Ding experiences happiness, Emotion Value +50】

【Qing Lin experiences relief, Emotion Value +100】

At this time, Gu Fei's feet had not even touched the ground; he was hovering in mid-air.

At the same time, he thanked the two leaders, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, for their previous care.

Even later, when Qing Lin was taken in by the two leaders of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group to work as a maid in the mercenary group, responsible for logistics, she was still met with the disgust of almost all the mercenaries.

Although Qing Lin had a place to stay within the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, she still suffered from this inexplicable discrimination and verbal abuse.

【Qing Lin experiences astonishment, Emotion Value +70】

That voice carrying majestic pressure made Xiao Ding and Xiao Li in the martial arts arena feel surprised.

Mercenaries on the edge of the desert all had an indelible blood feud with the Snake-People.

"Many thanks, Senior!"

She suddenly raised her head and saw a big brother and big sister a few years older than herself.

"If you want to, then apprentice under me; I can make you a powerhouse that everyone looks up to."

Gu Fei used his soul power to sweep across the mercenary group directly, and very quickly, he summoned those two people over via sound transmission.

The young girl had a delicate and petite face, yet she could never lift her head in the crowd.

Although Qing Lin was pitiful, whenever they thought of the Snake-People bloodline within her, they could not help but feel hatred and disgust in their hearts.

Qing Lin looked at her, felt a bit more relaxed, and revealed a faint smile.

Gu Fei took out two Pills useful for improving the cultivation of a Dou Shi and handed them to the two of them.

Xiao Yixian was very kind; her gentle gaze and the feeling she gave Qing Lin were very good.

In the end, after hearing the sequence of events, the two of them were also happy for Qing Lin.

"You annoying thing!"

Qing Lin was a child born from the union of a Snake-Person and a human, possessing Snake-People bloodline.

This youth, at a glance, was the kind of powerful person; at the very least, within Shi Mo City, there was no one stronger than him.

Especially Xiao Yixian, seeing these things, her sympathy overflowed even more.

However, nothing is absolute; there is always an extremely rare chance that a woman who has relations with a Snake-Person will become pregnant and give birth.

Subsequently, Xiao Yixian also came directly to Qing Lin's side to persuade her.

Afterwards, Gu Fei agreed.

According to common sense, relations between Snake-People and humans generally do not result in pregnancy.

She hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently, though her eyes still carried some timidity.

Just a moment ago, she had been watching from behind, and several times Xiao Yixian had almost been unable to stop herself from rushing over.

Seeing this, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li felt a sense of relief in their hearts, and at the same time, they were also surprised; they had not expected that although Gu Fei looked so young, he possessed such terrifying strength.
