He’s Mr. Luode!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Saixier, chatting happily with Luo De, nearly slipped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She patted her chest in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone introduced themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that “Mr. Luode” was a new adventurer here to observe and learn from seasoned ones, some were annoyed—but because he was with Saixier, they held their tongues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kasi’s senses were sharp; she instantly sensed the tiefling’s unusual attitude toward this “Mr. Luode.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way to their destination, she winked slyly at Saixier and whispered, “Him? Aren’t you into Luo De? Isn’t he more handsome?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saixier stiffened, blushing furiously, waving her hands in denial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kasi! He’s just a friend! A friend! Not what you think!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she stole a glance at Luo De—seeing him staring at the sky as if he hadn’t heard—her embarrassment deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurt, the halfling, had sharp ears and overheard them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo De is dead, so it’s normal for Sai Xier to find someone else. But you found someone a bit too fast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger-man Kasi snorted: “Someone like Luo De wouldn’t die even if he tried—I don’t believe a word the news agency says.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sai Xier said nothing, her expression dull and gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to say, the acting is excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurt shrugged: “Suddenly famous, then suddenly dead. You have to admit, Tiger Mother, that’s how most celebrities end up. Sigh—Mr. Luo De was a generous good man; he always gave the biggest tips.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male mage beside him was a thin fellow named Harrison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said: “I don’t believe a seventh-rank Mr. Luo De could survive a dragon’s ambush. I heard it was Lord Dimiya who accidentally met the news agency’s team while promoting Shi Ying Town, and apparently, a recording stone secretly leaked out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurt excitedly said: “I know! I bought it this morning—it’s footage of Luo De and that white dragon wrestling while fighting!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You bought a pirated copy, idiot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’s that possible? With Luo De’s luck with the opposite sex, wrestling a female dragon is totally normal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was an ambush—a life-or-death struggle! How could he possibly be doing that? Are you single to the point of being stupid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were clearly used to bickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They argued nonstop along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the last member, the female archer Elia, had a cold and reserved personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hardly spoke at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only after Sai Xier quietly introduced her to Luo De that they learned Elia had saved her multiple times—despite her perpetual scowl, she actually paid attention to her teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost like an elf’s personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the group arrived at their destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De looked and grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an old place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——Shuangzhi Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden within it was a labyrinthine sanctuary called Wuqia Crystal Ground, home to a small clan of winged crystal sprites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they were only here to hunt a monster called the Razor Boar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its tusks were valuable material, often sought after by those who hired adventurers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De maintained his persona as a novice adventurer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stayed behind, watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or quietly guided Sai Xier’s [Flame Ray] through the [Chain of Distant Speech].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he was watching from behind, the tiefling girl worked especially hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time she successfully cast a spiritual technique, she couldn’t help but turn back to look at Luo De, seeking praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the others,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they were all young, and people had come specifically to watch—no one could afford to slack off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a school demonstration, pumped up with energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they knew it, evening arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at the results in their spell satchels and couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad, not bad!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger-woman Kasi was generous: “Anyone going to the Violet Tavern tonight? My treat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The halfling Kurt and the mage Harrison both shook their heads: “We’re going to the Misty Tavern—there, a giant’s ale comes with a white flower, perfect for honoring Mr. Luo De.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boring. That guy Luo De definitely isn’t dead. Sai Xier, Elia—what about you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archer Elia shook her head, silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sai Xier apologized: “I can’t go—I’m underage, can’t drink.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh come on! You never come! Who told you underage people can’t drink? I’m going to beat that person up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl stole a sideways glance at Luo De and smiled without speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it was him who said it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No problem—he’s only fifteen.

I’ll introduce you to girls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger-woman Kasi smirked, raising an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a good impression of this newcomer Sai Xier brought—throughout the afternoon, he caused no trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m underage too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft! Nonsense! Fine, don’t go then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The halfling Kurt was in high spirits, swinging his blade as he strode ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go!
