Chapter 169: Haoyue is exposed, the Demon King is on the way
"We are not a veteran demon hunting group like theirs. If we disband now, we will really disband."

The smell of demon blood on Li Xin made Xingyuan feel very uncomfortable, and his mood became more and more irritable. "Do you think the alliance will arrange an old knight who was a former member of the demon hunting group to team up with us? Our age, cultivation and character are not on the same level."

"But……"

Li Xin bit her lip. "If I stay in the team, I will only hold everyone back. All of you have better talents than me. The gap between me and everyone else is already obvious, and it will only get bigger in the future."

"No one requires you to be the best on the team. It's you who is putting pressure and unhappiness on yourself."

Xing Yuan threw the pill into his mouth and said, "Or do you think we will abandon our teammates because of this?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

The reason why Li Xin thought so was because she cherished teammates like Xingyuan very much, which made her feel that she was a burden to the team.

"Li Xin, this is not something you can solve by just walking away."

Xingyuan stood up, stood in front of her, and once again took off the helmet covering her head.

Looking at Li Xin with tears on her face, Xingyuan said to her word by word: "Since you have been working hard for more than a month, you feel that you can't catch up with everyone else's progress.

Then, I will give you the spirit furnace."

Li Xin's pupils shrank slightly. She obviously didn't expect Xingyuan to say such words after taking off her helmet.

You know, she was already prepared to be scolded by Xingyuan, but unexpectedly, after seeing her cowardly look of self-degradation and wanting to escape from the team, the other party not only did not say a word of blame, but even planned to give her the spirit furnace, such an innate treasure to help her practice.

"...Spirit, Spirit Furnace?"

Li Xin's expression was a little dazed, and she subconsciously thought that what Xing Yuan said just now was just hallucination made up in her mind.

"It's the spirit furnace that's right. Have you forgotten that your brother, Long Haochen, gave his spirit furnace as a reward to Cai'er?"

Xingyuan frowned and cast a heart-clearing spell on Li Xin to calm her down. "Cai'er already has a spirit furnace, so she gave me the chance to choose. I'm turning now..."

"no!"

Before Xingyuan could finish his words, Li Xin interrupted him, looking very embarrassed and sad, "Thank you for your kindness, Captain. I have already shamelessly accepted the cultivation pills you gave me."

“This is a benefit for joining the group.”

Xing Yuan raised his eyebrows. "If you are not a member of my team, then I will not give you these pills. In other words, as long as you are a member of my team and your cultivation is below level five, I will give them to anyone."

Li Xin smiled bitterly, obviously knowing that it was ridiculous for her to argue with Xingyuan, the potion master. He did not take these soul-enhancing pills, which cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins in the market, seriously.

"Captain, I am a knight."

Li Xin wiped the tears and sweat from her face and said, "No matter how poor a knight is, he will not accept charity from others."

"As long as I'm still alive, I will definitely return the money for the elixir to you, Captain."

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "As for the spirit furnace, I absolutely cannot accept it. Because I cannot repay your favor no matter what, so please take back what you just said."

"Don't worry, captain. You have said so much. I will stay in the team just for everyone else..." "Li Xin." Xingyuan suddenly called her name.

Li Xin was slightly stunned, but she quickly reacted, "Captain, I'm here."

"How about signing a contract with me and becoming my servant knight?"

While Li Xin was "talking nonsense", Xingyuan and his elemental elf Xingyue drafted a servant knight contract specially tailored for Li Xin.

"Didn't you say you didn't think you could afford it?"

Xingyuan handed the servant contract that Xingyue had engraved on a large leaf to Li Xin, "Actually, you still have to go. That means you have to repay my favor with yourself."

Without waiting for Li Xin to speak, Xing Yuan, who was already a little tired of her awkward emotions, spoke directly: "Without this spiritual furnace I gave you, your cultivation progress would never catch up with everyone else. To be honest, I originally intended to use this extra spiritual furnace to help you keep up with the others. So you have to sign this contract now, whether you want to or not."

Li Xin: “…”

Li Xin was completely stunned.

Xingyuan did not continue to press forward. He threw the drafted contract into Li Xin's hand. After giving her some time to think, he turned back to his previous position and continued to fight side by side with the soldiers of Exorcist Pass.

To be honest, the terms of the servant contract that Xingyue helped to draw up were quite harsh.

In Xingyuan's opinion, the above items have reached the level of a slave contract, and there are even some regulations that are not convenient to discuss with others.

Moreover, the contract would only be effective when the slave - the servant - died. If Xingyuan had not asked Xingyue to change it, it would not be the two hundred years she saw now.

Xingyuan had also asked Xingyue why she couldn't reduce some of the harsh regulations and change the effective period of the contract to fifty years...

Xingyue’s answer to him was that if he did so, it would affect the effectiveness of the contract.

The servant contract she drafted for Xingyuan would only include the ability of talent sharing if the terms were harsh and strict enough.

Xingyue, you are really my father's favorite. You can even draw up a talent contribution contract that only the Knights Templar have...

Not long after returning to the battlefield, Xingyuan noticed it and his eyes involuntarily turned to the battlefield in the distance. Those were the members of the Knights fighting outside the city...

This breath...

There is no mistake, it is the bright moon.

Long Haochen summoned Haoyue in front of the demons, and was even seen by the Demon God.

Although Xingyuan had good eyesight, he couldn't see that far away. He could only judge that something like this must have happened over there by the faint aura of destruction coming from there and the shaking demon pillars.

Suddenly, a warm current flowed through Xingyuan's body, circulated around the tendons and veins in his body, and gathered at his dantian, forming a character of ancient elven language.

After having Xingyue for such a long time, Xingyuan has more or less mastered some of the ancient elven language and can understand the meaning of some of the characters.

For example, right now, the ancient elf pattern that is quietly placed in the corner of Xingyuan Dantian, if converted into human language, is the word "slave".
