Chapter 119: The Trials are Over, Celebration Banquet

"In that case, the only two remaining players for tomorrow's match are Assassin No. 1 and..."

However, before Han Qian could finish his words, he saw Cai'er, who was sitting next to Xingyuan in the contestant seat below, waving her hand at him.

"Assassin No. 1, do you have something to say too?"

Han Qian paused, "You can't give up the game again, right?"

Cai Er nodded, "I want to give up the game too."

Han Qian remained silent. After a while, he glanced at Sheng Yue, the leader of the Assassin's Temple, behind him.

"I have no objection." Sheng Yue was a little helpless.

After all, if possible, he still hopes that Cai'er can gradually get rid of her dependence on Xingyuan by serving as the leader of the Demon Hunting Group.

But he also knew that Cai'er would not listen to anyone except Xingyuan, and his random requests would only foster Cai'er's rebellious mentality.

But it's not necessarily a bad thing that Cai'er and Xingyuan are in the same team. Not to mention that with Xingyuan as a child to help take care of, the elders like Shengyue can feel much more at ease...

And you have to know that Xingyuan is a hot commodity now, and the other temples are all eyeing it covetously.

Although it was unclear how Xingyuan's talent compared to Cai'er's, judging by the importance that the Magic Temple had shown towards Xingyuan during this period, it was estimated that Xingyuan was at least an elementalist with an innate internal spiritual power of over 80, or possibly even a god-favored one with over 90 points.

"In that case, there will be no game tomorrow."

Han Qian took a deep breath and announced in a deep voice: "Then the individual competition of this Demon Hunting Team selection competition is over, and the first place is Magic Temple Magic No. 1, Xingyuan.

The second place is Magic Temple Magic No. 2, Huang Yi.

The third place is Knight Templar No. 3, Long Haochen."

"As for the subsequent Spirit Furnace rewards, please contact the Holy Temple and collect them from the Alliance Treasure Pavilion."

Logically, Han Qian should have said a few more words to encourage and mobilize people, but he was not in the mood at the moment. "Remember to be present at the Demon Hunting Group's grouping ceremony tomorrow morning. So - adjourn the meeting."

……

As the Demon Hunting Team selection competition that lasted for nearly two months came to an end, Xingyuan felt as if a worry had been put to rest and he felt an indescribable sense of relief.

"After changing your clothes, let's go out together to attend the celebration party."

Looking at Cai'er who was changing clothes with her back to him with the help of Xingyue, Xingyuan couldn't help but find it a little funny.

You know, Xingyue was originally somewhat reluctant when doing these things. She felt that as an elemental elf, she should assist her master in killing enemies on the battlefield. How did she become an elf maid like this?
It was only after the match with Long Haochen that Xingyue realized that her master really needed her.

The opponent she needed to deal with turned out to be a ferocious demon beast that exuded an ominous aura that made her feel inexplicably fearful...

Then she thought that it would be better to stay in her master's body to practice like this, and run out to serve her mistress when she had nothing to do. It was actually a good life to be liked by others. It was better than being eaten by that ferocious demon beast and turned into nutrients for its body.

"Yueyue, you, you don't have to do this."

Cai'er has been living alone since she was a child, so she has never experienced the life of a rich girl. It's okay for her to act coquettishly and ask Xingyuan to help her change clothes occasionally, but she really doesn't feel used to being touched by anyone other than Xingyuan.

It’s a pity that Xingyue can only communicate with her master Xingyuan, who signed the contract, through thoughts. After all, she is an elf who is tens of thousands of years old and cannot communicate directly with modern people.

So when Cai'er showed a little resistance, Xingyue thought she had done something wrong, and her hands became more cautious.

Seeing this, Cai'er didn't know what to say anymore. She could only pout her lips and look at Xingyuan for help.

"Isn't this good?" Looking at the scene where Xingyue was braiding Cai'er's hair, Xingyuan couldn't help but tease her, "Just accept this filial piety from your 'child'."

"But Yueyue looks obviously older than me."

Cai'er muttered softly, obviously still a little bothered by the fact that Xingyue did not look like an elf child.

Xingyuan thought for a moment and said, "It's OK as long as you are bigger than her."

Cai'er: "..."

Many people came to the celebration banquet, thanks to the outstanding friendship skills of Li Xin and others, and the fact that everyone may be each other's teammates and partners in the future, so nearly half of the contestants came to the scene.

Although the atmosphere is good when there are more people, Xingyuan still hopes to party only with friends he knows if possible.

Because the atmosphere was so heated, Cai'er changed the scarf that originally covered her eyes into a veil.

"Come on, brother-in-law, I toast you with this cup."

The people from the Assassin's Temple came, and Xingyuan responded with a smile.

"Brother Xingyuan, I really didn't expect you to be so capable."

Sima Xian arrived. He was tall and strong, holding a wooden barrel wine glass that was twice as big as Xingyuan's. "Of course, Miss Cai'er is also here. Congratulations to both of you. Ton ton ton - hiccup."

Long Haochen also came, looking unwell and with bandages on both his hands.

However, as the 'protagonist', he was required not to drink alcohol, and he was also injured, so he could only drink tea instead of wine and clink glasses with Xingyuan.

"How is Haochen? How is your injury? It won't affect the subsequent team competition, right?" Xingyuan did not forget to ask his concern. After all, it was he who beat Long Haochen into this state.

Fortunately, the trump card given to him by the Knights Templar, the skill 'Sacrifice', was banned, otherwise Long Haochen would probably still be lying on the hospital bed, and the grouping ceremony might even be delayed.

Long Haochen shook his head. "It's okay. It will be fine in a few days."

"That's good."

Xingyuan patted Long Haochen on the shoulder and looked at Huang Yi behind him, meaning that he had other people to receive.

Long Haochen understood, but still said, "Actually, I have one more thing to say."

Xing Yuan glanced at Long Haochen in surprise, "Go ahead."

Long Haochen glanced at Cai'er who was sitting next to Xingyuan, took a deep breath and said, "I'm here to thank Miss Cai'er. If she hadn't given up the third place... I wouldn't be her opponent."

"Nothing to thank."

Cai Er replied very calmly: "It's only because I'm ranked fourth that I can be in the same demon hunting team with Xing Yuan, that's all."

"That's true."

Xingyuan nodded and agreed: "So if you are here to exchange places with Caier, then we will be angry with you."

"That was not what I meant."

Long Haochen quickly waved his hands to deny it.
