Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 57 The finals begin

Before Lin Xin could finish speaking, Li Xin covered his mouth.

"There's no affection between you and her, understand?"

After speaking, he gestured to Lin Xin, showing him how unpleasant Long Haochen's expression was.

"Brother, I'm doing this for your own good. This sister-complex guy is easy to deal with, but my sister's father is an absolute sleek bastard!"

Li Xin whispered in Lin Xin's ear.

Lin Xin didn't notice what Li Xin said at all; she only felt the warm breath on her neck, and her face turned red.

"I understand, I understand."

He vaguely replied with two "I understand," but he definitely didn't understand.

Because Li Xin let go of him for a short while, and he started howling at Bai Xi again.

"Sister Xi, you mustn't forget me. Sister Xi, I can't live without you. I only feel safe when I'm in the same group as you, and we can even research elixirs together..."

"Shut up. If the circumstances are right, I will definitely choose you, okay?"

Bai Xi couldn't stand Lin Xin's constant chatter, so she quickly agreed to shut him up.

"Xixi!"

Long Haochen disagreed; he felt that Lin Xin was not a good person just by looking at him.

"Wow, Sister Xi! Sister Xi is so great! What would I do without Sister Xi? Xi—"

Lin Xin's voice stopped abruptly. He opened his big eyes and looked at Bai Xi, then at Long Haochen, and then at Li Xin.

He couldn't utter a single syllable.

"Luckily, I've mastered a silencing spell, which is just right for dealing with someone as talkative as you."

With peace and quiet around her, Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Long Haochen and Li Xin laughed with a hint of schadenfreude, but Li Xin laughed out loud and couldn't stop.

Lin Xin stared at Bai Xi with accusatory eyes, as if he had suffered a great injustice, as if the sky had fallen.

Upon entering the small council chamber of the Alliance Executive Government, there were already quite a few people inside, including Yang Wenzhao and Zhou Zhou, whom they had met during the preliminary rounds…

After scanning around, I found no trace of Saint Cherrie.

"I thought Cai'er had already arrived, but she's still not here. Is she going to be late?"

Long Haochen was a little worried after not seeing Sheng Cai'er.

Because now, there's not much time left before the reporting deadline.

"Probably not, Cai'er is an assassin, she's very fast."

Bai Xi didn't think Sheng Cai'er would be late; something must have happened.

As they were talking, Bai Xi tilted her ear and immediately smiled.

"Cai'er is here."

The two turned around and, sure enough, saw the familiar purple figure.

Cai'er still covered her eyes and face with silk brocade today, and leaned on a green bamboo cane.

In her words, firstly, she didn't want others to discover that she could see. Secondly, she was used to it; the bamboo staff had become one of her weapons.

"Cai'er, you've finally arrived."

Bai Xi and Long Haochen helped Sheng Cai'er to sit down, one on each side. If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way.

As he sat down, he noticed that Lin Xin was about to sit next to Bai Xi, so Long Haochen immediately got up and squeezed in between Lin Xin and Bai Xi.

Now, Sheng Cai'er sat between Bai Xi and Li Xin.

As they sat down, they noticed several strange gazes falling on them. Bai Xi looked up and saw that they were all assassins from the Assassin's Temple.

“Cai’er, it seems you’re quite popular in the Assassin’s Temple.”

All these gazes were directed at Sheng Cai'er, so Bai Xi assumed that Sheng Cai'er was very popular in the Assassin's Temple, hence her comment.

Sheng Cai'er didn't explain that it wasn't welcome but fear. She simply looked at Bai Xi and asked softly, "You don't blame me?"

"what?"

Bai Xi didn't understand what it meant at first, but it took her a while to realize it.

"You mean that matter? It's nothing. That senior actually helped me. It was because of him that I broke through ahead of schedule."

"You, you've broken through again?!"

Before Saint Cher could say anything, a shockingly high-pitched voice suddenly rang out from behind them, echoing throughout the entire council hall.

It was Yang Wenzhao. He was pointing at Bai Xi with one finger, as if he had seen a ghost.

But Yang Wenzhao was even more devastated and was already screaming for help.

"My God, are you trying to kill me?"

"He was already strong enough, and he's broken through again in such a short time!"

"Why did I have to be in the same year as this person?!"

"As long as you cultivate diligently, breaking through is a very simple matter, isn't it? If you haven't broken through, it must be because you haven't worked hard enough."

Bai Xi said with a smile, making a sarcastic remark about Yang Wenzhao.

"With our current level of spiritual power, breaking through to the next level is already very difficult. We owe him a lot for this!"

With Bai Xi's explanation, Sheng Cai'er felt much better.

She didn't dare to see them today because she felt guilty.

"As long as you're okay."

While Long Haochen was arguing with Lin Xin, Bai Xi, Sheng Cai'er, and Li Xin had already started chatting.

With Bai Xi keeping things lively, even the socially awkward person has to speak up.

"Miss Cai'er, judging from your black veil, you must be from the Assassin's Temple, right?"

Li Xin asked curiously, "Haven't you fought an assassin yet?"
"Correct."

Saint Cher nods gently.

Lin Xin, on the other end, couldn't help but marvel at what he heard.

"An invisible assassin? How strange."

"They're about on par with a mage like me who can't use offensive magic."

Because he himself was an outlier, Lin Xin accepted Sheng Cai'er's differences well.

On the second floor of the council chamber, a large number of people gathered together, watching the scene below.

At the very front was Long Xingyu, whose face kept changing color, sometimes black and sometimes white, making for quite a spectacle.

"Lord Dragon, it's almost time."

Han Qian asked Long Xingyu for instructions with some respect.

"Let's begin when the time comes. I'm just here to watch the game; you'll be the one to host it."

Long Xingyu's gaze remained fixed on Bai Xi's row, not even glancing at Han Qian.

After severely injuring Ananda, the seventh pillar of the Demon Clan, Long Xingyu was granted some leave, which he has kept until now.

"Everyone has arrived. The grouping ceremony will now begin. All participants will retain their initial numbers from the preliminary round. Ten people will be grouped together. After the draw, you will proceed directly to the trial grounds for the first round of competition."

As Han Qian's voice rang out, a huge crystal ball slowly rose from below the platform, containing 60 small numbered balls.

"XiXi and ChenChen probably won't be in the same match, so whose match are you going to watch?"

On the second floor, Ruoshui, with the intention of watching a good show, asked Long Xingyu some questions.

"I'll watch whoever's game you're watching."

This is no different from asking whether Long Xingyu loves his son or his daughter more.

"The first group of the finals will be held at the Holy Alliance Grand Trial Grounds Knight Trial Grounds. The list of participants for the first group is as follows:"
Knight number six, Priest number eighteen, Summoner number one, Warrior number twenty-three, Assassin number eleven, Assassin number fourteen…”
