Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

But now Cai'er is standing next to Long Haoyu, and he can even hold her hand. He seems to suddenly understand where the coldness he felt earlier came from.

When Cai'er heard Lin Xin mention her, she slowly withdrew her hand from Long Haoyu's palm and reached out to Lin Xin.

At the same time, she gave a gentle smile: "Hello, my name is Cai'er!"

Chapter 141 My name is Cai'er, and I am very kind.

Uh……

Lin Xin realized what was happening.

Meeting Cai'er's gentle smile, he didn't feel his soul was soothed; instead, a chill ran down his spine.

Judging from how Cai'er could hold Long Haoyu's hand and act so obediently, he felt he could probably figure it out.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Demon Hunter team that Long Haoyu has chosen as their leader will definitely select Cai'er.

But because of his appearance, an accident eventually occurred, as expected.

There was only one fixed spot, yet she repeatedly reminded Long Haoyu in front of Cai'er not to forget to choose her.

Such behavior is typical of sleeping on the floor in the toilet; one is not far from death!

"Boss, I think I might really be a bit weak. I'd better go back and put on another layer of clothing."

"Being a magician, huh? I guess I'm not really cut out for it. I'm too out of practice. I'll come back to you, boss, after I've put on some more clothes!"

Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy.

Lin Xin, feeling smug, decisively decided to retreat.

They were clearly scared, but they managed to steer the argument to another level.

Long Haoyu didn't know how to describe Lin Xin at this moment, but it was in line with Lin Xin's quirky personality.

"It's something we'll have to face sooner or later, so it's better to make things clear here today, otherwise misunderstandings are bound to arise later."

Long Haoyu stopped Lin Xin, who was about to slip away: "Let's go somewhere else and talk this over directly."

Lin Xin wore a bitter expression; the more he looked at Cai'er's gentle face, the more his heart pounded.

Cai'er maintained her initial posture, raising her hand as if to shake hands with Lin Xin, her empty eyes staring blankly at him.

Lin Xin hung his head, forced a smile, and extended his hand to Cai'er, shaking hers: "Hello, my name is Lin Xin, a professional magician."

“Yes, I’ll remember you!” Cai’er replied.

Lin Xin: "..."

He couldn't help but shudder, and dared not look Cai'er in the eye. After a brief handshake, he quickly shrank back to Long Haoyu's side.

Long Haoyu rarely finds himself speechless, but today he was still rendered speechless by Lin Xin's outrageous actions.

After talking with Ye Hua and the others for a while, they headed straight for a teahouse near the city gate.

After booking a private room, Cai'er sat quietly next to Long Haoyu, but her eyes were always looking in Lin Xin's direction.

Lin Xin sat opposite the two of them, feeling extremely uncomfortable under Cai'er's pale eyes staring at him.

Even though he should have been blind, he felt as if he had clearly fallen into Cai'er's eyes.

Lin Xin took a deep breath and looked at Long Haoyu, saying, "Boss, I think the Demon Hunter Team is a matter that requires careful consideration."

"I've been thinking about this carefully on the way here, and I think maybe we should just cancel the bet? I'll go find someone else? That way, you won't have to put yourself in a difficult position, boss?"

Long Haoyu smiled slightly and said, "No need, I have a way to select two people at the same time when the final Demon Hunter Team is formed."

“I knew Cai’er before I knew you, so I had already thought things through before I agreed to your request and made the bet with you.”

"Today's purpose is to discuss these matters in advance, but in reality, it's also to let you all get to know each other first, since you'll all be partners in the Demon Hunter team in the future."

Lin Xin looked at Long Haoyu with a blank expression.

For some reason, after hearing what Long Haoyu said, he suddenly felt that something was very strange.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was so strange about it; it was all so vague and unreal.

"Boss, didn't we already get to know each other? Why are we here alone?" Lin Xin asked.

Long Haoyu explained, "This is my younger brother, Long Haochen. You know him before; he's now my squire."

“This is my sister, Li Xin. You know her before, and she is also my squire now.”

"Then Cai'er is currently the number one contestant in the Assassin Temple competition. Her great-grandfather was the Holy Moon Temple Master of the Assassin Temple, and she will be the assassin in the Demon Hunter team we are going to establish in the future."

"We already know each other, but we can get to know each other better beforehand."

Long Haoyu spoke very slowly, but these words, when they reached Lin Xin's ears, caused his pupils to dilate in shock.

In that instant, the look in his eyes towards Cai'er became much more terrified.

The number one contestant in the Assassin's Sanctuary? A single-digit number, that's a Tier 5 assassin!

His great-grandfather was the current head of the Assassin's Temple. Isn't that a bit too powerful a background?

While terrified, he suddenly looked at Long Haochen and Li Xin, his expression becoming extremely surprised.

"Wait, what did you just say, boss?" Lin Xin asked in surprise, "You said that Brother Haochen and Miss Li Xin have become your personal knights?"

“That’s right. They are now my squire knights, so they won’t take up any of the Demon Hunter’s quota, but they will belong to the same Demon Hunter’s group as us,” Long Haoyu replied.

Lin Xin: "...Boss, your Demon Hunter team is going to defy the heavens! Brother Haochen is a fifth-tier knight, and now Miss Cai'er is a fifth-tier assassin. I suddenly feel like I'm a burden."

Long Haoyu replied with a smile, "Didn't you say back then that I should choose you, and that we could go on a rampage together?"

Lin Xin couldn't help but blush as he recalled Long Haoyu's new interpretation of "Gaga's Rampage": "Boss, let's not talk about what happened before! Let's talk about something serious!"

"You just said there was a way to choose both Miss Cai'er and me at the same time, but I remember that the top three members of the Demon Hunter Team only have one fixed choice, and the others can only be chosen randomly. Are you sure there's no problem?"

As soon as Lin Xin finished speaking, Cai'er finally turned her gaze away from him and looked at Long Haoyu.

Long Haochen and his group felt the same way; this was a hard rule of the Demon Hunter Team selection competition, and they were quite curious about how Long Haoyu planned to operate.

Long Haoyu replied, "The winner of the final round will receive a spirit furnace as a reward."

"At that time, I will apply to the higher-ups to give up the spirit furnace reward and then try to get an extra fixed selection slot."

Give up the Spirit Furnace reward?

Lin Xin suddenly stood up from his seat: "Boss, are you serious? That's a spirit furnace! It's a huge opportunity!"

"If I weren't serious, why would I bring this up?" Long Haoyu retorted.

Upon hearing the definite answer, Lin Xin abruptly sat down next to Long Haoyu, his heart pounding with excitement: "Boss, you're so good to me! You just said you'd already decided this a long time ago."

"Back in Amy City, you already knew I couldn't use offensive magic. And even then, you were willing to give up all those rewards to choose me?"

"You've been so good to me, I have no way to repay you! How about I offer myself to you?"

Long Haoyu understood perfectly well that Lin Xin was deliberately being silly to liven up the atmosphere. He looked at Lin Xin with a half-smile, then stretched slightly and said, "Look, are my shoe size and your face the same size?"

"I'll give you one minute to think about it. You can rephrase your statement!"

Lin Xin chuckled awkwardly, but before he could recover, he couldn't help but shiver again as that initial chill swept over him once more.

Unwittingly, he met Cai'er's gaze again.

At this moment, Cai'er's extremely kind gaze gave him a chill down his spine once again.

Recalling the words I had just said, my expression froze on the spot, and my brain went blank for a moment. How could my mouth be so foul?

Cherrie is right here, trying to liven things up but she's stepping on landmines in this way. She's practically courting disaster!

Not daring to continue such a lively atmosphere, she took the initiative to distance herself from Long Haoyu: "Boss, although you've decided to give up the spirit furnace reward..."

"But the fixed quota is the rule of the Demon Hunter Team selection competition. Even if you are willing to give up the Spirit Furnace reward, the higher-ups probably won't agree. Do you have any alternative plans?"

Chapter 142 The Strength of Talented Individuals Lin Xin and Long Haoyu

No rules no standards.

The six great temples formed the Temple Alliance, which led humanity in resisting the threat of the demon race for six thousand years.

The concept of "rules" has played an extremely important role over the past six thousand years, ensuring that the people of the six great temples abide by the rules in their conduct.

It is precisely because of the constraints of rules that the Human Alliance can continue to have fertile ground to survive and can continuously cultivate heroes who are willing to sacrifice themselves for all mankind.

The Demon Hunter Selection Competition is for selecting future leaders of the six major temples, and everything must be based on the rules.

Changing the rules so rashly would not be in line with the original intention of the Demon Hunter Team Selection Competition. Otherwise, who wouldn't want their Demon Hunter Team to be able to consistently select more familiar partners?

“Giving up the spirit furnace is probably not going to work, but I will definitely choose it, Cai’er, and I will definitely keep my bet with you.”

"If the higher-ups don't agree, I'll have to give up my final ranking in this Demon Hunter Team selection competition and participate in the next one five years from now."

"In this way, I will neither break my bet with you nor disappoint Cai'er's waiting."

Lin Xin was completely speechless. He figured out the method behind Long Haoyu's words, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

It wasn't because Long Haoyu said he was going to participate in the next Demon Hunter Team selection competition, but after sorting out the specific steps, he realized that this method was really not an ordinary cheat.

If Long Haoyu could really take the top three spots in the Demon Hunter Team selection competition, or even win first place, it would be a mess if such a talented person didn't establish the Demon Hunter Team this year and instead went on to participate in the next Demon Hunter Team competition.

Given that Long Haoyu was willing to give up the Spirit Furnace reward and choose Cai'er, and then wanted to choose him, a mage who couldn't use offensive magic, the higher-ups were very likely to agree.

"Boss, I always thought I was shameless enough, but I never expected that you could achieve so much in the field of shamelessness. I admire you to the core!" Lin Xin said sincerely.

Long Haoyu stopped Lin Xin from showering him with compliments: "Alright, enough with the boasting. I've already explained things clearly. Now, you all need to get to know each other and become familiar with one another."

"Absolutely, my abilities in this area are definitely top-notch."

Lin Xin felt relieved and quickly took out several crystal bottles from his ring, piling them all in front of Cai'er.

"Sister Cai'er, there was a misunderstanding just now, please don't take it to heart!"

"Since we'll definitely be in the same demon-hunting group in the future, I can definitely take care of all the pills. I, Lin Xin, may lack many things, but I will never lack medicine."

"These aren't exactly good things either. If you're interested, you can eat them like candy."

"I made it myself, so there are absolutely no side effects."

Cai'er was a little unaccustomed to the sudden enthusiasm, and couldn't help but tighten her grip on Long Haoyu's hand.

But she could still discern the good and bad in Lin Xin's words. Her coldness towards Lin Xin completely disappeared at this moment, and her emotions gradually stabilized.
