The Destiny (IV)
They sat facing each other.
"Yuebai, I..."
"Shh, don't talk." The young man stretched out a finger and put it to his lips with a serious expression.
"…Do we have to do this?" Cedric coughed lightly.
"Uh-huh, of course!"
The suspicious rustling of clothes and the sound of shallow breathing.
After a while.
"...Yuebai, I still have things to do."
"What's up?"
"Deciphering rituals and stuff... Anyway, some serious business."
"No! Stay here with me."
"But……"
Cedric seemed to be sitting upright, but in fact he was extremely embarrassed by the harassment from his friends and just wanted to escape quickly.
Don't test his manliness too much. If this continues...
"Strange..." Li Yuebai touched his lapel to his belt, and then from the belt to his collar.
"Hmm?" His concentration was a little distracted and his breathing was suppressed. He relaxed for a while before exhaling sharply.
"There's really no reaction."
The young man's breathing became a little rapid, his voice became low, and a strange smile appeared in his eyes: "Why is there no response?"
As the heir of Cavendish, he should be thinking about business, such as breaking the sect rituals that cause sea levels to rise, using the power of luck to crack the mystery of alienation, etc. There are obviously many things to do, and he cannot indulge in endlessly in the strange games suddenly played by his friends.
but.
"Don't move. We need to control variables when doing experiments." The young man complained.
"Okay, okay..." He raised his hands, allowing him to conduct an unknown experiment.
Normally he looked relaxed and calm, but now he looked a little more patient.
After Li Yuebai fumbled around, he found that the shadow - the man of destiny - was still floating in the corner without moving.
I don’t know what this Cedric experienced in the original future. He was at a very low star level, unable to communicate, unable to look each other in the eye, and unable to empathize. He became an existence even more dull than a puppet of God.
What a boring card.
Li Yuebai finally gave up.
"Go on. Go do your business."
"Tsk. I feel like I was kicked off the bed after I finished using it." There was still a trace of trance on his face: "Are you not going to continue? Business is not that important."
"No, don't you have a sense of the overall situation? At such a critical moment, you still make such lazy remarks."
"...I just don't want you to say that."
He took a few breaths, then said calmly, "By the way, after I leave, I'll let someone else accompany you."
"Don't miss me too much." He smiled at him.

"Why are you watching over me?!"
"This is what the teacher told me before he left."
"He didn't say anything to me before he left?"
"It was an urgent matter, and the teacher left in too much of a hurry."
"I don't want to! I just came out of Li's house, I want to go out and hang out and explore the map!"
"It's dirty outside and smells of blood. Junior brother, since you don't like fighting, it's better for you to go out less." The young man leaned against the wall, looking lazy, but in fact he was always ready to go.
His expression was as cold and strong as ever, and he seemed difficult to talk to.
Li Yuebai's expression was subtle: "Why don't we change someone else and bring Cedric back."
"He has his mission."
"Then I want someone else who speaks nicely and is fun. For example, on the way here, I saw a lot of powerful and handsome guards..."
The stern-looking young man frowned: "They are not as strong as me."
This guy doesn't make sense. He's just a dragon head.
"Then explain to me clearly why you left me here. I don't believe you don't know anything."
"I don't know." He glanced at Li Yuebai lightly, looking like he would not and would not bother to lie.
This attitude made Li Yuebai doubtful.
Elvis looked at the ignorant young man in front of him, and finally lowered his eyes and said nothing.
The statement about [container] has not been 100% confirmed yet.
How should he tell him that Li Jianxue imprisoned him in the Li family in order to use him as a vessel to summon the arrival of the evil god?
Ye Jian rescued him with the support of the empire. However, the major forces had different proposals for how to deal with the suspected container. The royal family proposed to imprison the container deep underground for research and isolation. After pressure from many parties, it was finally decided to let the major families come and "guard" it themselves.
The priority of this task made him withdraw from the battlefield and stand here.
...Although he doesn't care much about interpersonal relationships, someone with low emotional intelligence can still feel his rejection of himself and his dependence on Li Jianxue.
The love between brothers should be very deep, much deeper than the so-called friendship between classmates or teachers.
To tell this matter to a simple young man who has always lived in peace before confirming it, in the eyes of a normal person, would be a very cruel thing, right?
His dark pupils flashed, and then he ignored the person's spoiled behavior and temper tantrum with an expressionless face, and decided to leave the interpretation of the matter to the teacher.
If it were a teacher, his way of explanation would probably be better than mine and more acceptable.
"It's no use beating me up," Elvis said in an unchanged tone, "I really don't know."
Li Yuebai kicked him.
The young man who was kicked looked at the footprints on his clothes, but did not brush them off. He asked seriously, "Do you want me to kick you a few more times?"
"ha?"
This was a kick from a player whose strength bonus had already reached A, how come he didn't even frown!
The strength of the numerical panel is A. Because the player does not train, it is okay to deal with other enemies, but it is impossible to cause real damage to the red dragon. After all, the Spencer family has always been famous for their thick skin and strong muscles.
“Why not try asking in other ways?” an unsummoned card whispered secretly in his mind.
The Trickster Card, who was sealed inexplicably and reappeared inexplicably, spoke without authorization and whispered: "I can help you, Master. No matter what happens, I will stand by your side. Please do not be fooled by the false illusion."
I hate the Riddler the most, Li Yuebai thought silently.
"Ah, I forgot to change the way I speak again. Damn it... I am such a useless servant with no sense of propriety, like a maggot in the ground. Please forgive me."
The trickster said, "Are you really not curious about what your brother and your family have been planning? If I tell you this, you won't believe it. Maybe you need to see the truth with your own eyes."
“…”
Li Yuebai didn't listen much. The words on the card flowed through his mind like running water, leaving no trace. His brain was still clean and simple: Where is the skip button?
He opened the system interface to search.
The trickster said a lot, and finally sighed, "This may trigger a key mission, and the reward is very high, right?"
Li Yuebai paused and turned his gaze from "Banned Card" to "Summoning Card".
"...I'm sorry, master. I can't show up for the time being because I violated the system permissions. I need to sleep for a while. I hope you can break through the illusion, reach the real place, and stop the evil in the world." The voice of the trickster phantom was very ethereal, with a drowsy taste.
Li Yuebai, who still hasn't figured out how to trigger the quest, is already eager to torture the NPC.
