She's not here.

Davin said, word by word.

Faced with Linda's indifferent attitude, Davin felt a strong sense of insult.

He regarded Tasia as his savior and a distinguished guest of the Mandala family. He finally managed to send her to Linda to celebrate their reunion, but... Tasia was treated like trash by Linda?

It seems that Tasia wasn't taken to the fireworks display. Since Davin was unaware of the details, he could only speculate, his mind filled with all sorts of terrible thoughts.

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his attitude towards Linda was naturally far from good.

Linda shook her head and said, "There's been some misunderstanding between us, but it's definitely not what you think. Davin, please step aside, I have something to say to Tasia."

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the manor and find out for yourself. As long as you can defeat me, Thunder Swordsman Davin."

Having said that, lightning flashed and sparks flew from the longsword in Davin's hand, named "Thunderous Strike," and swept out with a power of up to 37 star level.

As expected of a star-ranked being on par with Abner, this oppressive aura far surpasses that of the Ghostly Nacho and Halus.

Linda's gaze grew increasingly serious as she summoned the royal sword and cast a verdant shield over herself.

"Then I'll have to offend you."

"Dark Whip, go!"

...

Two minutes later.

"You lost."

Davin's epic longsword, Thunderclap, stopped in front of Linda's neck.

There were traces of a battle left in the courtyard.

Da Wen thought he could easily defeat Linda, but in fact it took him a lot of effort.

The thickness of the Verdant Shield is not just for show.

The royal sword in Linda's hand is also an epic weapon.

Beneath the coat was a brownish-gray soft armor shaped like dragon scales.

Equally epic.

Against a typical level 26 adventurer, Davin could defeat them in a single encounter.

This was the first time Daven had ever encountered such an oddball 'support' as Linda.

He touched the wispy bangs on his forehead, almost suffering the loss of a bang from underestimating his opponent, as Linda chopped one off.

Given time, once Linda advances to the Star Rank, things will likely become extremely difficult.

Various thoughts flashed through Davin's mind.

The important thing is the present.

He is far stronger than Linda right now.

"Leave Red Peach City," Daven said coldly.

"I have a few more words to say." Linda took a deep breath and said, "The monsters deep within the Dragon Forest are beyond your ability to deal with. If the Crimson Adventurer Group dares to go, they will never return!"

Davin frowned. "What do you mean by that?"

Linda: "If you trust me, don't go deep into the forest."

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Daven looked at Linda suspiciously, crossed his arms, and fell into thought.

During the last monster tide, when facing the Red-Armored Crab King disguised as a Thousand-Faced Demon, it was Linda who brought crucial information.

And she didn't seek any reward; after the Thousand-Faced Demon died, Linda had already left.

Besides, Tasia is also in the Crimson Adventurers. Linda's actions against the Crimson Adventurers are tantamount to dragging Tasia down with her.

After careful consideration, Davin nodded: "Alright, the Crimson Adventurers will abandon their plan to venture deeper."

After the battle, the coldness on Davin's face dissipated considerably. Perhaps, as Linda said, it really was just a misunderstanding, and Tasia's sad expression had another reason.

If Linda didn't take Tasia seriously, she wouldn't have drawn her sword against him knowing she was doomed to defeat.

"May I ask what happened between you two?" Daven sheathed his sword and asked, puzzled.

“Probably…we didn’t wait for her,” Linda said.

Da Vinci: ?

Seeing Tasia's distraught appearance when she returned, Davin assumed that Linda must have toyed with Tasia and then abandoned her!

Is this it?

Such a small thing could make Tasia so disappointed.

This shows how important Linda was to this maid.

Thinking of this, Davin's teeth ached from the sourness.

What did Linda do to Tasia in the past to make Tasia so devoted to her?

And then there's Mingli from Black Mamba City, part of the Dark Flame Adventurer Group, who also has a close relationship with Linda.

It's hard not to believe Kami's report: "The Eye of Truth is skilled at raising fish, cultivating Star-Rank and Moon-Rank beauties!"

"Sigh, so that's how it is. Such a small thing... Why do I feel like my married sister has been wronged and has come back?"

Daven scratched his head in frustration. "And Leah... Ugh, I give up. Linda, I hope you don't let them down, otherwise, the Crimson Adventurers will never let you off the hook."

"Speaking of which, the Phoenix Flower and the Snow Goose have formed an alliance."

After clearing up the misunderstanding, the two simply sat on the stone benches in the courtyard and chatted.

Davin smiled and said, "That Leah must be happy."

"I didn't realize you bit my lip."

Linda's unintentional remark shocked Davin so much that his mouth gaped open.

“That...that Liya, she actually…” Davin stammered.

Although he knew that Leah and Linda were definitely having an affair, when the fact actually happened, it still shocked Davin so much that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Lia, who only knew how to wield a wooden sword to cut boys, smash windows, and play in the mud when she was little, and didn't learn any adventurer etiquette... also had a day when she fell in love, and even bit Linda's lip until it bled.

Davin simply couldn't imagine how shy and bashful Leah looked.

As I thought about it, I laughed at myself for being disgusted.

"Ha, hahaha, Lia, that Lia... hahaha." Davin slapped the stone table and burst into laughter.

Amidst the laughter, there was a sense of gratification, like that of an old father watching his daughter grow up.
