Chapter 325 – Whose Side Are You On?

Early morning

At this time Jasmine had yet to enter the city, and Woos did not yet know of Lin Xiao’s break. A small team was gathering at the west gate.

A four-person team, two pairs of one man and one woman, the front pair looked like siblings, the little brother pulling the older sister, walking excitedly outside the city. The pair following looked like a master and servant, the maid walked beside with a stone-cold expression, like a cruel supervisor. The master walked slowly like he was about to die.

Wasn’t he dying? Damn, Lin Xiao felt like shit!

Please, as someone super lazy, waking up early was really going to kill him!

His pace was slow and he was absentminded, he couldn’t even walk straight. Thankfully Elena was keeping an eye on him and giving him a solid kick every time he stops walking. Otherwise, he probably would have already fallen asleep on the streets.

“Hey Elena, I’m so tired, can we continue after I sleep for a bit…” Lin Xiao couldn’t walk anymore and mumbled.

“Oh, if you want to be trampled to death, then just lie down and sleep.” Elena spoke without any emotion, “I’ll leave the first footprint on your face.”

“Wuuu, what a bad maid, you actually want to step on me… should you use your *** in this kind of situation… oh no, use your body to protect your master, giving him your warmth?”

“Warmth? Heh, then you might as well sleep, since anything can happen in a dream.”

“Sigh…”

Lin Xiao hopelessly sighed and just as he wanted to stop for a bit, he ended up getting kicked again and had to continue on.

“Ah… what did I do to deserve this, why did we have to leave so early?”

“For that, you have to ask yourself.” When mentioning the topic, Elena’s gaze became even more chilling.

“Uh… okay, okay, it’s my fault.”

That’s right, wasn’t he the one who had to leave so early, yet he still had the nerve to ask why…

Lin Xiao’s original plan was to give a certain princess a surprise! He specially woke up early and dressed up with new clothes, did his hair and was like a new person.

It was a good plan, but he underestimated his ability to wake up early…

He never expected how painful it would be to wake up early!

He originally wanted to give her a surprise and let her see his energetic handsome side, but now his appearance wasn’t handsome at all!

“Ah, why can’t night be 16 hours? Then I can sleep as much as I want!”

At that time, a immature looking black haired youth yelled out to him.

“Brother Xiao! … Uh, no… Lin Xiao, hurry up! The gates are already open, so we can eave the city, stop dillydallying!”

“Why did you correct yourself?” A beautiful sister rebuked him from the side, “Didn’t I tell you to obediently call him Brother Xiao?”

“Sis! I can’t do it… why should I call him brother?”

“He did indeed help us a lot, but! Mhmm…”

Lin Tian angrily pouted and turned away and ignored his sister.

Seeing that Lin Xiao helplessly shook his head.

“Actually, you can call me whatever you like.” Lin Xiao yawed as he walked next to him, “Although I helped you guys, I never expected anything in return, so no need to dwell on it.”

“Hmph, that’s good…”

“However.” Lin Xiao’s tone suddenly sharpened as he squinted, “I hope you can listen during this mission…. no matter what you see me as, if you dare cause trouble, I won’t forgive you!”

“What do you mean by that?” Lin Tian’s heart tightened, although he was still putting on a brave front, his tone was already weakening.

“Do you know what happened to the last idiot that caused me trouble?”

“W-what?… Does his grave need cleaning?”

“Hehe, even scarier than that! Let me tell you…”

Lin Xiao snorted and glanced at Elena, like he was implying something.

“That’s right! She’s already my meat toilet and can’t resist me anymore… ow, Elena why did you kick me again? Am I wrong?… Owwww, w-why are you still kicking?… Stop! Stop, I was just kidding!… Sigh, strange, the slave contract is not as effective lately, why are you fine even after kicking me so many times?”

“…”

Lin Tian was speechless after he started messing around with his maid after getting serious for just a bit.

“Xiao Tian, your brother Xiao is right… don’t cause him trouble, he’s our team leader from now on, you should listen to him!”

“Sis? Why are you helping him? I’ve never seen you so nervous… did you fall for him?”

“O-of course not, stop messing around!” Yao Zi blushed and glanced at Lin Xiao and was relieved since he was still messing around with his maid and didn’t hear.

“Tsk, you clearly did… and also he came to us looking to team up, why should we listen to him?”

“How can you say something like that!? You should be more mature… he’s already helped us so much and he’s willing to lead our team, don’t you feel even a bit thankful?”

“Hm… I never said that. But, but…”

No matter how much he didn’t like it, his sister was right, they were privileged to be able to team up with Lin Xiao.

Although they still didn’t clearly know his true strength, after that experiment with Yao Zi, they were sure that he was a hidden master!

Yao Zi didn’t remember the details of the final experiment and didn’t know who cast the eighth-level magic that destroyed the forest, but she was one hundred percent sure that his strength was definitely not at the fifth level. He was actually already a terrifying seventh-level, and still had hidden cards up his sleeve!

Because of that, she greatly changed her view on Lin Xiao.

Yao Zi was kind of dim-witted, but after hearing people say that her wizard’s bloodline was the strongest, she slowly became a bit more prideful and complacent, though she never showed it, but up until the end during the experiments, her competitive desire was stoked by Lin Xiao and she tried to imitate him until the end…

The result was her passing out and injuring herself while she was trying to imitate eighth-level magic. Thanks to Lin Xiao and his maid, her rashness didn’t turn into a tragedy.

Since then, Yao Zi decided that she shouldn’t try to show off anymore! While at the same time she she wanted to repay Lin Xiao’s kindness and learn more powerful magic from him, and if possible also team up with him!

The good news was that before she could even suggest it, Lin Xiao already asked, which made her delighted.

Lin Xiao was a great person! He’s strong, kind and had a good temperament. Yao Zi felt like they were too lucky, originally she was worried that they were going to get in trouble during the mission and she wouldn’t be able to protect her brother but since Lin Xiao was willing to help, she wasn’t worried at all!

“Brother, he helped us so much yet you haven’t even thanked him yet and you have such a bad attitude, wouldn’t you say that’s being too immature?”

“A-am I? Hm…”

His sister pampered him and rarely lectured him, the last time she did was almost half a year ago, and even that time he didn’t really worry about it and just halfheartedly dealt with it, but this time Yao Zi was serious.

Did he go overboard?

Lin Tian didn’t understand how Lin Xiao was so strong, even more so than his sister’s wizard’s bloodline. Jealousy, he couldn’t accept this kind of thing and that’s why he treated him like that.

But now, he couldn’t find any reason to retort Yao Zi, which meant that he was the one in the wrong.

“So, do you understand? If you do, then hurry up and go!” Yao Zi pulled Lin Tian and then gave him a push.

“Go? Go do what?”

“Of course go apologize!”

“Hah? What for?”

“Hm… I’m your sister, are you not even going to listen to your sister?”

“Tsk, you clearly just fell for him…”

“… If you keep acting like that, I’m really going to get angry!”

“Sigh, okay, okay, I’m going!”

No matter how much he didn’t like it, he had no choice and could only awkwardly walk over and start stuttering.

“Um… that… um…”
