Of course, as Isha's old teammate, Fanice still caught a glimpse of sadness in Isha's eyes.

Because Linda has Lulu by her side now.

"Then let's go upstairs first." Isa forced a smile and went upstairs with her teammates.

Fanis held Isa's hand and comforted the captain, telling her not to be sad.

Good adventurers are plentiful.

There are probably some people better than Linda in White Dove City if you try your best...

...

Most of the guests have arrived.

Linda was about to go back upstairs when she encountered a pair of unfamiliar guests.

Who are you?

Linda looked at the two women in front of her with a puzzled expression.

A quiet girl with long pink braids and thick-rimmed black glasses.

With a mature woman with long blonde hair, wearing a butler's uniform.

"Congratulations on advancing! This is my gift, please accept it!"

The pink-haired girl, brimming with energy, held the two gifts in both hands and handed them to Linda.

The item above is a magic core contained in a small crystal box.

It is polished into the shape of a water droplet using a special process.

Judging from the rich magical energy fluctuations contained within, it is actually a level 30 magic core from a rare orange-grade monster!

Its value is around 350,000 gold coins.

Linda's expression changed.

Who is this person who is even more generous than the White Dove Adventurers?

"May I ask who you are?"

Linda did not accept the offer rashly.

"I am Lin, and she is my housekeeper, Hua Mao."

Celine chuckled and pushed the gift box into Linda's arms: "We are adventurers on a journey. We heard that the iris flower is very famous in this area, so we came to offer our congratulations."

"A traveling adventurer...?"

Linda looked suspicious.

His sixth sense told him that something was off about the two of them.

But in terms of their aura, they were just ordinary adventurers, and nothing unusual was detected.

Moreover, the other party came to offer their congratulations.

As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face; it would be impolite to kick them out.

"Thank you very much for the gift, Miss Lin."

Linda accepted it.

He looked at the black gift box beneath the level 30 magic core and asked curiously, "What's this?"

“Oh, you must open our local specialties at night, otherwise they will rot immediately,” Xilin solemnly instructed. “Absolutely do not open them during the day.”

"I understand." Linda nodded. "I'll take you to the third floor."

"Yay!" Sirin cheered and followed Linda upstairs.

...

"General, is this really alright? If we're discovered, it'll cause a huge problem!"

The witch, with her hundred faces, kept a close watch on the surroundings and used a secret technique to transmit her voice to Sirin.

"My disguise skills are excellent, so don't worry."

Xilin answered confidently via telepathy, her hands behind her back as she observed the interior of the villa with great interest.

Linda's presence is everywhere here.

Looking at the tall figure so close to her, Sirin felt a burning heat emanating from the holy mark on her lower abdomen, as if it were urging her to devour the man before her.

The first predation by a high-ranking succubus will grant both parties considerable power.

However, Linda's current level is too low, and Sirin is worried that Linda will not be able to withstand the magical feedback.

She was the only one who might become stronger; Linda's magic circuit was completely destroyed.

Forget about spiritual practice, he won't even be able to urinate anymore!

"We can explore on our own, you go and rest." Xilin noticed the fatigue on Linda's face and felt a little sorry for her. She must have been tired from entertaining guests all morning.

"Okay, then you guys play by yourselves."

Linda smiled.

At Xueyan's table, Chrona seemed to have something to discuss with him. She was carrying a small rabbit-head bag and kept staring at him from a distance.

If I don't go, I'll probably have to keep an eye on things until the banquet is over.

"They've left."

"yes."

Xilin and Baimian sang in unison.

"That's fine. After all, it's Linda. Staying by his side for too long might expose us."

Celine was like a busy little bee, picking up bits and pieces from the buffet in the lobby, eating cake, drinking orange juice, and observing all sorts of objects in the villa, like a curious child.

Naturally, the huge promotional poster on the wall in front of her caught her eye.

The people above are Linda and members of the Phoenix Flower team.

Besides Sirin, there was another girl standing blankly in front of the poster, staring at a line of text below.

"What? I'll take a look too."

Sirin familiarly moved closer to the red-haired girl, just like two years ago, and quietly approached her, suddenly placing her hands on the other girl's shoulders.

She exclaimed "Wow!"

"Ah!" Lia snapped back to reality, turned around as if facing a formidable enemy, and glared at Sirin. Just as she was about to explode in anger, she paused, "It's you?"

They met on the shopping street yesterday.

"What are you looking at? Flames are blooming, Miss Lia?" Sirin teased.

This familiar way of speaking, this overly familiar manner that's a bit annoying... all reminded Leah of someone.

But no matter how Leah looked at the other person, she couldn't connect them with the one she was thinking of.

The difference in their appearances is too great.

"You can see for yourself, don't bother me." Leah regained her aloofness, thinking about her own affairs—she hadn't yet asked Linda if she had found Lin Xi's whereabouts.

She couldn't bring herself to ask the question about the atmosphere in the courtyard just now; too many people were watching.

Curious, Xilin walked over and found a few lines of small print at the bottom of the poster.

It is the target of the Phoenix Flower's adventure.

This familiar scene made Xilin's eyes widen slightly.

She felt a headache coming on.

Memories that were previously submerged, as if separated by a thin film, suddenly surfaced with a whoosh.
