Xu Ling's left hand continued its movements, unconsciously rubbing her right hand. Without thinking, she lowered her head slightly.
As she lowered her head, the hair on both sides fell down, partially obscuring her face.
Her eyelids drooped slightly, inadvertently concealing the expression in her eyes.
However, Xu Ling was unaware that her eyelashes were trembling uncontrollably, as if they were about to fly away like a butterfly fluttering its wings.
Clearly, she was hesitant and unable to make a decision.
Xu Ling really didn't know what to choose. Should she follow reason or go with her heart?
The Tree of Life naturally noticed Xu Ling's hesitation, so it didn't rush to urge her to give an answer as soon as possible, but instead waited patiently by her side.
Seeing that Xu Ling and the others had quieted down, Kaopu did not approach them immediately, but stood still and looked around for a while.
Seeing that things had truly quieted down this time, and it seemed that no further conflict would erupt, Kaopu gave Fei'er a look, and then cautiously led the others toward Xu Ling.
Although both Kaopu and Feier felt that nothing more would happen, who could be 100% sure?
That's what happened when the Tree of Life released the elves!
Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and the group arrived safely near Xu Ling.
However, their arrival did not elicit any reaction from Xu Ling. She remained with her head slightly lowered, maintaining her original posture and not moving at all.
Kaopu couldn't help but feel a little strange; Xu Ling was far too quiet, completely unlike her usual self.
After thinking for a moment, Kaopu understood. It glanced at the elf casually, then immediately looked away.
It must be related to her!
I'm making a judgment based on my own judgment.
No wonder the Tree of Life hasn't let go of the elf after all this time!
It seems Xu Ling is hesitant about whether or not to let go of the elf.
A fleeting look of surprise crossed the reliable dog's face. It assumed that, given Xu Ling's past personality, she would not hesitate to release the elf.
Because in a reliable person's eyes, the elves' role has never changed from the beginning—they are friends, not enemies.
Furthermore, even the Tree of Life admitted that the elves were its helpers.
Although this helper seems to act somewhat recklessly at the moment, she is undeniably capable!
At least, with the addition of the elves, their strength has obviously increased significantly, and now, even if they encounter a powerful enemy, they have nothing to fear.
Moreover, Xu Ling was able to generously accept complete strangers like Old John and Ella.
Naturally, the reliable person assumed that the elf's behavior was merely somewhat malicious and had not actually caused any harm to Xu Ling. Given Xu Ling's personality, she shouldn't mind what the elf did.
But who would have thought that Xu Ling would act so out of character this time!
"Xu Ling," Kaopu called softly, but Xu Ling seemed not to hear him and did not give Kaopu any response at all. So, Kaopu took a few steps forward, quietly approached Xu Ling's eyes, and raised its cat eyes slightly. "What's wrong?"
It wasn't until a yellow figure suddenly appeared right under her nose that Xu Ling was startled and snapped out of her deep thoughts.
She blinked involuntarily, still somewhat dazed from just coming to her senses, and instinctively asked, "What?"
Clearly, she hadn't heard what Kaopu had said at all.
"You don't want to release the elf?"
He was reliable and straightforward, directly revealing what Xu Ling was thinking.
"No, I didn't!"
Subconsciously, Xu Ling retorted without thinking.
She didn't realize that her voice was urgent and shrill. Even though she denied it verbally, anyone could tell that she was guilty.
Hearing her own loud voice, Xu Ling was taken aback. She then realized that her hasty denial without thinking was no different from trying to hide something obvious.
However, at this moment, because of her loud denial, everyone around her looked at her. She even noticed that the elves turned their heads and looked at her curiously.
Xu Ling immediately felt as if she were being pricked by needles, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She desperately wanted to find an excuse, but her mind was blank. Apart from the three words "unwilling" that came from the bottom of her heart, she had no other thoughts.
If it were just a matter of being stared at, Xu Ling felt she could shamelessly pretend not to see it and act as if nothing had happened.
But the problem is, there's still someone who can't read the room!
