Just give me a quick death!
I don't care whether you kill me or torture me, just give me a quick death...
Shirin was almost in tears.
Never before had Shirin felt such loathing for the Riddler.
Can't you just explain yourself clearly?
Where you live, would you be fined for speaking clearly?
Will I die!?
After experiencing such repeated torment and constant psychological anguish, Xilin now feels that even if things are exposed, it's not a big deal.
She now desperately wants to confess to herself and end this painful torment.
Are you two crazy?!
What kind of extreme torture is this?!
"well……"
Shaking her head with a tearful expression, Shirin had a sudden realization.
She has completely come to terms with it.
I said, "Isn't that enough?"
I've confessed everything, please stop torturing me.
"I admit, at the very beginning, it was indeed..."
Seizing the moment when Xilin was on the verge of tears, Jiang Wan suddenly moved her face close, staring intently at her, and said abruptly:
"Stop pretending! You are the legend!"
Jiang Wan had been waiting for this moment, launching a sudden sneak attack. She carefully observed Xilin's every reaction.
Shock, confusion, fear... utterly bewildered.
That's right, this is exactly the reaction Jiang Wan had envisioned when Xilin's identity was exposed!
This idea didn't just come to her on a whim.
She had guessed long ago that Shireen would be a mysterious figure, but she hadn't dared to think of her as a legend.
"Hmph, I've caught you!"
With a smug look on her face, Jiang Wan's appearance seemed particularly... in Xilin's eyes.
cute.
Oh, so that's what you know!
That's amazing!
That's awesome!
...Ha, how naive!
That's incredibly naive!
You've been trying to scare me with this for ages, haven't you?
But this wonderful misunderstanding is good... no, it's perfect!
The shock on her face quickly faded, eventually turning into helplessness, and Shirin put on a calm and composed facade.
At this moment, Shirin's acting skills reached the pinnacle of her career.
Like a powerful figure whose identity had been exposed, Xilin didn't push Jiang Wan away. She just glanced at her and said indifferently:
"You guessed it?"
"However, it doesn't matter if you know about this."
"My identity is not something you can flaunt. I'm sorry, not many people care about my reputation."
Let me tell you the truth.
More than two hundred years have passed, and probably not many people still recognize "Xilin," let alone the identity of "Dr. Lin."
Give up.
"Why would I use your name to show off? I'm not a child."
Shaking her head, Jiang Wan then asked seriously:
"Dr. Lin, I hope you can help my captain more diligently."
"If she really decides to leave the team early because her recovery time is too long and she doesn't want to be a burden to us... then we'll really have no choice but to let Ning Feng join our team."
"I'm sorry, I know this request is a bit rude, but you're the only legend I can find right now."
Jiang Wan lowered her head deeply, showing her attitude and apology.
Jiang Wan had a headache.
Emotionally speaking, Jiang Wan was naturally very supportive of Ning Feng joining the team, as they would have more time together and wouldn't have to be separated.
But rationally speaking, she was worried about Ning Feng's joining.
Ning Feng's strength is still somewhat lacking, and the succubus bloodline is not like the red dragon bloodline, which is mainly for melee combat. The entire team's combat strategy needs to be readjusted.
Not to mention, Margaret's final fate will also be a huge problem.
The best solution right now is to allow Margaret's recovery time to be within her acceptable range, while Ning Feng can act alongside them during this period.
However, she also knew that such a perfect coincidence was rare in the world, but she held onto a sliver of hope and asked Shirin for help.
"I've really done everything... wait?"
By extracting information from Ning Feng's name in Jiang Wan's words, Xilin suddenly realized that this was an opportunity she couldn't let go of.
If Ning Feng were to join Jiang Wan's team and spend every day with her, while she herself never even saw him...
What am I even arguing about then?
It was given away for free!
"All right!"
With a sharp, legendary glint in her eyes, Shirin was in the zone!
"Then I'll think about it some more carefully to see if there are any new solutions."
Without pausing for a moment, Shirin remained in that position, lost in thought.
Think quickly!
This is related to the ownership later!
"Really! Then I'll leave it to...you?"
The voices of gratitude grew softer and softer. Seeing Xilin's serious expression, Jiang Wan didn't dare to make any rash moves, for fear of disturbing her train of thought.
The two remained in the room in this ambiguous position, their relationship seemingly perfect.
...
...
While the two novices were locked in their battle of wits, Margaret and Ning Feng, who were locked outside the door, fell silent.
"…………"
Their eyes met a few times, but quickly looked away each time they made contact.
Margaret unilaterally looked away.
Ning Feng, on the other hand, calmly surveyed his surroundings, his gaze constantly shifting between the bookshelves and the surrounding environment.
He silently compared the bookshelf arrangement to his memory, checking which books had been moved.
It's not possible to see it now, but you can still explore its secrets when you sneak in later.
