"Haoyu, Haochen, come here for a moment," Li Xin said.
Unlike her excitement at wanting to explore the holy city right after the competition ended today, Li Xin is now clearly in a low mood.
Long Haoyu and Long Haochen exchanged a glance, not understanding the reason for Li Xin's sudden downcast mood.
Without much thought, the two brothers entered Ye Hua's room together. There were several other people in Ye Hua's room at the time.
Chen Si, Chen Chen, and Lin Jialu were sitting in Ye Hua's room, all three of them with a look of resentment on their faces.
Long Haoyu realized that, according to the original trajectory, Lin Jialu and her two companions were supposed to leave the Holy City after losing yesterday's match.
His appearance can only have a certain impact on the match schedule of the Knight Temple through the butterfly effect; it has absolutely no relation to the match schedules of the Warrior Temple and the Magic Temple.
As expected, Lin Jialu and her two companions were defeated in yesterday's competition and are now planning to return to Haoyue City. Li Xin's low spirits are probably due to the departure of her three companions.
"Haoyu, Haochen, you're here!"
When Lin Jialu saw the two brothers arrive, she smiled and said, "Sister, Chen Si and Chen Chen and I have all lost the competition. We are going back to Haoyue City."
"We originally planned to leave yesterday, but Haoyu, you didn't play in the match, so we waited until today. Now that we see you win the match, we can go back with peace of mind."
Lin Jialu gave a brief explanation, and Long Haoyu understood why Lin Jialu and the other two had waited until today to leave; the reason for everything lay with him.
The three of them were taking up a lot of time just to see him win a match.
"Sister Jialu, Brother Chen Si, Brother Chen Chen, thank you for your concern," Long Haoyu said.
Lin Jialu warmly stepped forward and hugged Long Haoyu: "We're from the same place, so it's only natural that we care about each other."
"It's a pity we all lost. Staying in the Holy City isn't a solution, so we have to leave early and won't be able to see you win the Demon Hunter Selection Tournament."
"But Haoyu, even though we're leaving, we still really hope to see you win the final victory. You'd better work harder and take first place in this Demon Hunter Team selection competition!"
Lin Jialu spoke from the bottom of her heart, and even when she recalled how Long Haoyu had easily crushed the Green Twin Blade Demon during the previous assessment, she became even more convinced of this idea.
Long Haoyu could hear the blessing in Lin Jialu's words, and replied very confidently, "I will definitely succeed. Thank you for your blessing, Sister Jialu!"
"Okay, now that we've said goodbye, Chen Si, Chen Chen, and I will head back first. Keep up the good work!" Lin Jialu replied.
Long Haoyu said, "Let us see you off!"
Long Haoyu and Long Haochen exchanged a glance, both brothers having participated in seeing off Lin Jialu and the other two.
The group walked out of the room and headed out of the hotel. When they passed Cai'er's room, Cai'er opened the door and came out.
"Are you going out?" Cai'er had obviously come out after hearing the voice. Her eyes, which had recovered somewhat but still looked rather empty, looked in Long Haoyu's direction.
Upon seeing this, Long Haoyu recounted what had happened to Lin Jialu and the others.
Cai'er then looked towards where Lin Jialu and the others were, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Then I'll go with you to see them off!"
"Okay, I'll help you up!"
Long Haoyu agreed to Cai'er's request.
Cherrie is the kind of person who finds it difficult to develop feelings for others.
But as long as the person is a friend of someone she cares about, she will not hesitate to show her kindness.
This is the situation for Lin Jialu and the others at this moment.
She let Long Haoyu lead her by the hand as before. Although her vision was blurry and she could still see, she still enjoyed the feeling of being led by Long Haoyu like this.
After a few minor incidents, Cai'er joined the group seeing off Lin Jialu and the other two, and the group headed straight for the city gate of the Holy City.
"Haoyu, we're leaving now. Don't blame us for not being able to stay and watch your match any longer!"
"Strive to take first place this time! We'll be waiting for your good news in Bright Moon City!"
At the city gate of the Holy City, Lin Jialu and the other two boarded a carriage and waved goodbye to Long Haoyu and his group from the carriage window.
The carriage departed, and Lin Jialu and her two companions embarked on their journey back to Haoyue City.
Long Haoyu and the others watched Lin Jialu and her group leave from the entrance of the Holy City.
“You can definitely win first place.” At this moment, Cai’er whispered to Long Haoyu.
Long Haoyu smiled slightly and said, "Definitely, otherwise participating in this competition would be meaningless, and I wouldn't be able to become the leader of the Demon Hunter Team."
Answering Cai'er's question, Long Haoyu waited until the carriage completely disappeared from sight before deciding to follow Ye Hua and the others back to the hotel to prepare for the upcoming matches.
But at that moment, a figure suddenly ran over from a distance.
Even before the person got close, their striking dark green hair immediately revealed their identity.
Long Haoyu looked at Lin Xin approaching them, then glanced at Cai'er beside him, and his mind drifted back to the promise he had made with Lin Xin.
Although he had already planned to use that shameless method to choose both Cai'er and Lin Xin at the same time after the Demon Hunter Team selection competition.
But Lin Xin's sudden appearance made him realize that this was not a good thing.
Given Lin Xin's behavior, there's a high probability he'll casually mention the agreed-upon terms.
Then, given Cai'er's personality...
It seems likely that many uncertainties will occur.
Chapter 140 Brother Who's Courting Death with Medicine: Walking on the Edge of a Knife
Lin Xin ran closer, panting heavily.
After all, he was a magician, and his physique was still too weak. After running such a distance, his panting had become like this.
After getting closer, he rested his hands on his knees and took several deep breaths before saying, "My dear brother, I've been looking for you for ages!"
"I just heard from my friend that you won your first battle today, and I was thinking of coming to congratulate you. I didn't expect you guys to come all the way to the city gate. I'm exhausted."
Long Haoyu was quite surprised that Lin Xin would come all the way to congratulate him. He smiled and replied, "A friend of mine is going back home, so I came to see him off."
"Is that the same magician from before?"
Lin Xin suddenly became boastful: "She's quite a pretty young lady. Just as I guessed at the beginning, she still won't make it to the finals!"
Long Haoyu remained silent for a moment. When he made the bet with Lin Xin, Lin Xin had not mentioned anything about Lin Jialu, but he was well aware that Lin Xin had a special ability to see Lin Jialu's cultivation level.
Now that Lin Xin was bringing up these things so ostentatiously, he was even more certain of his earlier guesses. Lin Xin's presence here today was definitely not a good omen.
"It's Sister Jialu, they've already gone back," Long Haoyu replied. "But you came all the way here to congratulate me, thank you for your thoughtfulness."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xin's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest, saying, "Boss, you underestimate me, Lin Xin. I have to be careful in this kind of thing!"
"Back then, I made a bet with you, boss. I put all my bets on you, and I didn't contact anyone else afterwards."
"I'm just waiting for you to make it into the top three in the finals, and then choose me to join your demon-hunting team."
Long Haoyu had been wondering if Lin Xin's sudden appearance was a bad omen, but now that Lin Xin had said something, he no longer needed to guess.
Lin Xin said everything that should and shouldn't have been said at this moment.
Cai'er's hand was placed in Long Haoyu's palm. Hearing Lin Xin's words, her jade-like hand, which had been still, suddenly trembled twice, clearly showing that she was starting to get nervous.
Long Haoyu sensed Cai'er's emotions, gently stroked her palm, and then wrote the words "Don't overthink it," which calmed Cai'er down a bit.
Cai'er trusted Long Haoyu completely. After carefully judging the three words he wrote, her trembling hands finally calmed down.
Once Long Haoyu sensed that Cai'er's emotions had stabilized, he turned his attention back to Lin Xin.
"You really haven't forgotten about this matter. In your heart, am I such an unreliable person?" Long Haoyu replied.
Lin Xin quickly shook his head and said, "That's definitely not it. It's just that the final stage is very fierce. I'm just worried that you won't be able to get into the top three."
With a forced smile, Lin Xin answered these questions, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He felt it was a little inappropriate to say such things in front of Long Haoyu.
But these words were indeed what he was most worried about, because just as he said, he did not make contact with other members of the Demon Hunter group.
All the bets were placed on Long Haoyu. If Long Haoyu lost in the end, he would have to wait another five years.
Long Haoyu could see Lin Xin's worries, and he also knew very well why Lin Xin wanted him to join the Demon Hunter Group.
He gave Lin Xin a reassuring look and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to worry about the top three. You'd better think about your own things first."
"According to the rules of the Demon Hunter Selection Competition, only those who enter the finals can join the Demon Hunter Team. If you cannot make it to the finals, then even if I want to select you for my Demon Hunter Team, you are not qualified."
Long Haoyu knew that Lin Xin would definitely make it to the finals, but he still said it on purpose, mainly to reassure Cai'er.
But Lin Xin clearly misunderstood. After hearing this sentence, he immediately took out many crystal bottles from his spatial ring.
Then, he replied in a very cocky manner, "Don't worry, boss! I'm sure I can make it to the finals. Look at all these treasures I have."
"I have medicine. I can use medicine to get myself into the finals. I'm definitely qualified to join the Demon Hunter Team."
"So, boss, you absolutely must not forget to choose me once you make it into the top three. Only the top three demon hunter teams are qualified to choose one teammate."
"Boss, my future depends on you!"
His words were spoken with great vividness and detail.
But these words made Long Haoyu want to slap him directly.
I had just calmed Cai'er down when you brought these things up again.
They even specifically mentioned that only the top three teams that form a demon-hunting group can consistently select one person?
Cai'er's emotions were already starting to fluctuate, and you were still rubbing salt into her wounds, as if you were afraid that Cai'er would forget that the fixed spot I gave you after I established the Demon Hunter Team was for her.
This is no way you're going to court death!
Cai'er raised her eyes, her empty and lifeless gaze fixed on Lin Xin.
In her blurry vision, she seemed to see Lin Xin in her field of vision.
Her long, dark green hair was very eye-catching.
Lin Xin suddenly shivered and looked around suspiciously: "This is strange. What's going on? Why do I feel cold in broad daylight?"
Long Haoyu could easily see that Cai'er had her eye on Lin Xin, and Lin Xin's sudden coldness was clearly a sign that Cai'er was up to something.
He shook his head helplessly and then said to Lin Xin, "Since you feel cold, go back and put on another layer of clothing."
"It's quite bizarre for a magician to be like this, with such a weak physique."
Lin Xin snapped out of his daze, sticking to the principle that a man should never admit his inadequacy, and forced an explanation: "Boss, although I am a magician, I am actually quite fit, definitely not weak!"
While explaining his excellent physical condition, Lin Xin saw Cai'er holding hands with Long Haoyu, and his eyes suddenly widened many times over. This relationship is not simple!
"Boss, is this your new partner?" Lin Xin's heart skipped a beat for no reason. He was certain that Cai'er was not present in Amy City last time.
