Chapter 172 Xingyuan Becomes the Master

Li Xin also wanted to help Xingyuan explain.

However, she opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't make a sound. She couldn't tell the contents of the contract to anyone other than her master.

"Go back to the dormitory and explain."

Seeing that more and more eyes on the wall of Exorcist Pass were being cast in their direction, Cai'er suggested that if there was anything to say, they could wait until they returned to the dormitory and set up the soundproof barrier before discussing it.

"Hey--"

Xingyuan felt like he was about to get overwhelmed, but he thought that as long as he was upright, he had nothing to fear.

Besides, Li Xin had already pulled out her rose unicorn, and it would be troublesome to ask others to send it back, so she simply turned over and sat on it, letting the newly signed squire knight lead the horse for her.

However, what surprised Xingyuan was that Li Xin, the rose unicorn, was not at all opposed to him sitting on its back, and even turned around and rubbed its head against him twice.

"I'm sorry, Master. I just..."

"Hey, stop, stop."

The word "master" coming out of Li Xin's mouth was about to leave a psychological trauma on Xingyuan.

He glanced at Li Xin, who was holding his horse in front of him, with some annoyance, "Can't you call me captain like before? Even if you have your knight's professional ethics, you can't embarrass me, right?"

"No, Master."

Xingyuan: “?”

"This is really not about the chivalric work ethic, Master."

Li Xin's face was red and embarrassed at the moment. "I also want to call you the leader, but I can't call you by other words."

"..."

After a brief silence of two seconds, Xing Yuan also saw the relevant provisions in the cumbersome and lengthy Elven contract, "The contract actually stipulates such a thing?!"

As soon as Xingyuan finished speaking, before he could find trouble with the elemental elf Xingyue, the other party conveyed a proud emotion to Xingyuan...

Okay, okay, when there's no one around, I'll pull you out and give you a good spanking as a reward for your 'good intentions' today...

Xingyuan thought secretly in his heart.

"host……"

"Let's not communicate for now."

Seeing that the team was about to enter the crowded camp, Xingyuan quickly interrupted Li Xin who was about to speak, "Let's talk when we get back to the dormitory. Outside, we shouldn't communicate unless necessary. Wait until you break through the fifth level and master the skills of voice transmission before you can talk to me outside."

"Yes, Master."

Point 5 of Article 7 of the Servant's Code states that every command from the Master must be responded to, and the Servant must not disobey the Master's orders...

Hearing Li Xin call him "Master" again, Xingyuan felt like his whole body was numb. He gritted his teeth, turned his head and decided that from now on, before Li Xin broke through the fifth level, he would never communicate with her when he was outdoors.

"So you can tell me secrets behind my back, right?"

Cai'er's voice came from the other side. She followed closely, carrying Yue Mingnan and Xingyuan side by side. "Xingyuan, don't worry that I'll be jealous."

Xingyuan: "...Cai'er, don't think too much."

With Xingyuan's familiarity with Cai'er, he could naturally tell that Cai'er was joking with him. If Xingyuan really accepted Li Xin, the person who would be most unacceptable to this would not be Cai'er, he dared to guarantee.

She was the one who wished most that Xingyuan would not be hanged on this tree of hers.

You know, she had just tried every possible way to bring Xingyuan and Chen Ying'er together not long ago, and even gave the "important task" of taking care of him to Chen Ying'er, so that when Xingyuan woke up later, he didn't realize that he had hugged the wrong person...

As for the person who can't accept this the most...

Xingyuan subconsciously turned his gaze to Chen Ying'er, who was walking at the front of the team, and seemed to be sulking and a little aggrieved.

"Uh……"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xingyuan, who was already having a headache, felt that the symptoms seemed to have worsened.

That's it, that's it.

Xingyuan would rather return to the city wall of Exorcist Pass and fight the demon army for a few hours than to solve the worries of these adolescent girls.

Xingyuan closed his eyes, hugged Li Xin's rose unicorn neck, smelled the pleasant forest fragrance, and fell asleep.

Cai'er couldn't help but curl her lips when she noticed that Xingyuan didn't continue to answer her questions but just fell asleep.

I always told everyone not to have too much pressure, and I even took the initiative to help everyone share the pressure. Now, I've exhausted myself...

However, although Cai'er thought this in her heart, she was not really angry with Xingyuan. On the contrary, she felt sorry for Xingyuan's contribution to the team over this period of time.

All this is because he wants to be in the same demon hunting team with me and get rid of the control of the Assassin's Temple, so he has to work so hard.

Cai'er is so sensible that even Xingyuan finds her scary.

Seeing that Xingyuan had fallen asleep, Cai'er threw Yue Mingnan, who was on her back, onto the back of the Rose Unicorn, wanting to replace Xingyuan off it.

Because she felt that the expression on Xingyuan's face when he was hugging her to sleep was more comfortable than when he was sitting on the Rose Unicorn.

But before she could do so, Sheng Lingxin, who had just returned from outside the city and changed out of his assassin's attire, came over, causing her to lose interest for a moment.

"Mr. Military Commander, what can I do for you?"

Seeing that Sheng Lingxin was coming for Xingyuan, Cai'er directly blocked him.

It was Xingyuan's business if he was willing to contact them, but Cai'er would naturally never allow them to actively approach Xingyuan like this.

Sheng Lingxin couldn't help but feel his heart tighten when he saw Cai'er standing in front of him and not hiding her hatred for him.

"What's up with him?"

Sheng Lingxin took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress his emotions that were about to get out of control, and instead focused all his attention on Xing Yuan.

"I'm just tired."

Although Cai Er didn't want to tell the other party the truth about Xing Yuan, she didn't want him to stay and linger, so she told him everything and ordered him to leave. "General, we are all very tired. The battle is over. Please don't delay our rest time, okay?"

Li Xin and others turned pale when they heard this. You know, the person in front of them is the military chief of Exorcist Pass!
However, Xingyuan had fallen into a coma at this time, and Caier was the one with the most say in the entire team, so they couldn't say much and could only whisper to remind Caier.

"...Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

Sheng Lingxin's tightly clenched fist finally loosened, and he stepped aside to make way, leaving a sentence, "Tell him to come see me when he wakes up." (End of this chapter)
