Linda thought for a while, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
“There’s a plant called ‘Itchy Vine’ on the 15th floor. Pick some fresh ones when you go, and soak your feet in it. It will help your legs recover,” Linda said.
“Yes, I understand.” Aiko smiled. “Linda, thank you for your concern. I’m really happy.”
Everyone present could detect a sour undertone in the air.
Lulu frowned and remained silent.
Linda scratched her head. Why did Ai Ke's tone sound like that of a ex-girlfriend after they broke up? Lulu was on duty tonight, and it would be terrible if she got jealous and retaliated because of Ai Ke.
'With Lulu and the others, plus the other team members I haven't met yet, I have enough Oathbearers. I really can't touch Xueyan's people!'
Linda couldn't imagine what it would be like for Eko, or even Leah and Chrona, to become her wives.
Especially the one in the middle. Linda only stayed in Xueyan for three years before Liya made her question her life. If she were to marry him, she would never have a moment of peace for the rest of her life!
Under the watchful eyes of Lulu and the others, Linda smiled and said "It's okay" to Eko, then rejoined the discussion on the "strategy" to capture Abner.
Aiko gazed intently at Linda's profile.
Back at Xueyan Villa, she could only channel her grief and anger into motivation and frantically cultivate "Water Magic Without Chanting"!
'Very well, Linda, you've really angered me. I'm going to imagine you as a dog with a collar, and let your teammates watch from the sidelines as they use you mercilessly!'
Echo rallied, a victor's smile spreading across her face.
As long as she doesn't see herself as a failure, she'll never be a loser!
...
...
"President, they can't win."
In the training ground, the smooth wooden floor was like a mirror. A man with a long blue ponytail closed his eyes and wiped the bamboo sword in his hand.
His voice was as gentle as water, but the content of his words was more domineering than those of the heartless nobles who maliciously withheld wages.
"Sigh, you're so stubborn..." President Velen rubbed his temples, looking at Abner with a headache.
After pleading for three days, Ebernay still refused to agree to fix the match.
After a fierce battle, both sides displayed their full skills, providing a thrilling spectacle for the audience. In the end, Linda and her two companions, through the power of their bonds and friendship, defeated the monstrous Abner.
All four are outstanding adventurers, earning high praise from the reporters and nobles of Azure City!
This is the script that Viren designed.
Unexpectedly, tomorrow is the exhibition match, and the first step of his plan has already stalled...
Viren looked worried, and in just a few days, a bunch of white hairs appeared on his head.
Ebernar put down the bamboo knife, sat cross-legged on the futon to meditate, and calmly said:
"President, I know that Linda destroyed the Dragon's Tomb's hideout, and I also know that he is the adventurer who advanced to the Star Rank in the shortest time in White Dove City."
Verdant Shield is also an excellent skill, and I have high hopes for the future of the Phoenix Flower.
But that's not enough.
Standing opposite me, whoever he is, I, Ebernar, will give it my all.
President, you've been kind to me. But I'm sorry, I won't lose to them.
In terms of profession, I am the [Raging Warrior]; in terms of equipment, my [Azure Core] is an epic five-star weapon; in terms of skill, I have been practicing swordsmanship since I was five years old, and for twenty-five years now, I have never stopped.
After defeating the Nightmare Guardian on the 19th floor, the Ice Abyss Training Camp is our next destination.
Therefore, I will not lose this exhibition match, and I cannot afford to lose.
Ebernay unusually spoke at length.
Velen exclaimed in surprise, "I see! No wonder you rejected Qingkong University's invitation; the Ice Abyss Training Camp was your real purpose..."
Having said that, Viren could no longer persuade Ebernar to fix the match.
All four teams in Baige City are equally important to them.
No matter which side leads to the capital, Velen feels his life has been worthwhile.
But... Velen sighed. An unidentified woman in a black dress claimed that if Linda won, she would invest 300 million gold coins in White Dove City.
Three hundred million!
It can be used to renovate slums and build new apartments, or as bounty to attract outstanding adventurers from outside... White Dove City's financial situation is extremely bad, and these 300 million gold coins can effectively alleviate it.
Velen walked outside dejectedly, returning to the Adventurers' Guild with worries about the exhibition match.
...
The public bathhouse at the Phoenix Flower Villa.
"With unity of purpose, victory will ultimately belong to us!"
Linda rose from the bathtub, placed her fist in front of her, and delivered a passionate speech.
As a result, the towel wrapped around his waist fluttered like a paper butterfly and landed on the water's surface.
Leah was laughing heartily with her hands on her hips, imagining the glorious scene of showing off her skills tomorrow.
As the things before her were gradually revealed, Leah's smile froze.
Her face turned pale instantly, as if she had been grabbed by a level 90 holy dragon.
Lia conveniently used her head as a shield, effectively "blocking out" the underage Chrona behind her.
"What happened?"
Chrona, being short, only saw that Leah seemed petrified. Beside her, Eko covered her red lips with a playful expression, while Monica lowered her head in embarrassment.
Isa coughed lightly and turned to look to the side. But out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but glance at Linda, and her cheeks flushed red.
"Ugh... Ugh... What, what is this?! What are you showing me?!"
Leah's young mind was stunned, as if struck by a rhinoceros.
