If Cai'er's body smell is the charming and subtle fragrance of osmanthus and orchid, then Tan Wan is the refreshing and soothing orchid fragrance.

"Uh……"

Hearing Tan Wan's slightly aggressive tone and the soft face that had come close to him, Xingyuan looked away awkwardly.

"Don't listen to Cai'er's nonsense." Xingyuan replied with some lack of confidence.

"Oh?"

Tan Wan's beautiful eyes turned, and she immediately came up with a plan. She pretended to be annoyed and poked Xingyuan's shoulder, "So, you think that I am not only old, but also out of shape?"

"Sister Tan Wan, please let me go."

When Xingyuan heard her say this, he immediately became obedient. If Tan Wan hadn't pulled him back, he would have stood up and apologized to the other party.

"alright."

Seeing Xingyuan act like this, Tan Wan finally stopped teasing him, took away her hand on his shoulder, and said to him while sitting upright, "Sister won't tease you anymore."

"call--"

Xingyuan was immediately relieved when he heard this.

Tan Wan asked calmly, "It was Cai'er who did something to me just now, right?"

"Ah."

Xingyuan did not hide this from Tan Wan. "This is the inherent ability of the spirit furnace she merged with. It can calm people's mood and eliminate all negative emotions."

"Then you have to thank Cai'er very much, otherwise I would have really slapped you in the face just now."

Tan Wan looked like she had something else to say, but she was still too shy to express her feelings to Xingyuan at this point, even though Cai'er had been so cooperative and had given her an environment where she could be alone with Xingyuan...

"that……"

Tan Wan opened her mouth, but with her personality, at this point, she could only ask Xingyuan a question similar to if she asked him again if she wanted to join his demon hunting team as a magic follower, and whether he would agree this time.

"of course can."

"Um... ah?"

After thinking for a long time with his eyes wide open, and repeatedly confirming that Xingyuan had indeed said the words "Of course", Tan Wan still had an expression of disbelief on his face, "Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious."

Xingyuan sat up straight and looked into Tanwan's eyes, "So are you still willing to join my team now?"

"Don't you think I'm weak now?" Tan Wan asked in a low voice.

Now it was Xingyuan's turn to be stunned. He asked her, "When did I think you were weak?"

Tan Wan thought about it. Xingyuan had never thought she was weak. The reason he refused her to join the team was that the demon hunting group's mission was too dangerous...

Thinking of this, Tan Wan couldn't help but blurt out, "So you're not worried that I'll be in danger now?"

Xingyuan said calmly: "I will protect you."

"Well……"

This time it was Tan Wan's turn to be silent. She stared at Xing Yuan's face in a daze for a while, then sat back in her seat. "I feel much better after hearing your words." "But..."

Tan Wan paused, forcing a smile on his face, "Since I have already joined the Magic Group of Jialing Pass, I can no longer join your team. By the way, Cai'er has been out for too long, why don't I go out and look for her."

It was enough for her to have Xingyuan's words, and she didn't dare to hope for anything else.

However, just when Tan Wan suddenly felt that the atmosphere between her and Xingyuan was becoming increasingly weird, and was about to leave to go outside to find Cai'er, she heard Xingyuan say lightly from his seat.

"I'll go back and tell the teacher that I want you to join my demon hunting team."

Upon hearing this, Tan Wan turned around in disbelief, "...Ah?"

Then there was a series of no's. Are you crazy? What about Jialing Pass? How can I go to the teacher for such a thing?

"I do not care."

However, Xingyuan did not give her the chance to refuse. Since she took the initiative to ask him this question at this time, how could he not hear that she felt regretful about it?
Since Cai'er doesn't mind, and she also likes Tan Wan as her sister, it would be unmanly of Xingyuan to miss her again.

"I'll get the teacher to agree to let you join my team."

This time it was Xingyuan's turn to look into Tan Wan's eyes, and then he said word by word: "Then please give me your guidance in advance, Team Member Tan Wan."

"Eh?"

The door of the box opened at the right time, and Cai'er walked in with a faint smile on her face. Based on Xingyuan's understanding of her, she probably never left from the beginning to the end, and listened to the entire conversation between him and Tan Wan.

"Cai, Cai'er, I, we just..."

Tan Wan obviously didn't expect Cai'er to come back so suddenly, so he looked a little flustered.

After all, the content of the conversation between her and Xingyuan just now obviously went beyond the scope of siblings to anyone who heard it, and was somewhat ambiguous.

Obviously, she had intended to use this opportunity to be alone with Xingyuan to sort out the issues between them and stop having feelings for Xingyuan that went beyond the scope of 'sister-brother relationship'.

But she didn't know how, the right to speak, which was originally firmly in her hands, ended up in Xingyuan's hands.

Moreover, he was forcibly "kidnapped" by Xingyuan and joined his demon hunting team without any clear reason.

Isn't this what she wanted most some time ago?

But Tan Wan was not happy because she didn't want to hurt Cai'er, but as long as she was with Xingyuan, she couldn't help but want to get closer to him.

"Welcome to join our team, Sister Tanwan."

However, the first words Cai'er said to Tan Wan after she came in made her stunned again.

……

Although Tan Wan has accepted the fact that she will soon join Xingyuan and Cai'er's demon hunting team as a non-staff teammate, she still feels a little unreal.

On the way that Xingyuan was leading her to the master's office at the headquarters of their Magic Temple to meet Li Zhengzhi, she had backed down in her heart more than once, feeling guilty about bothering the teacher again because of the things between her and Xingyuan.

Furthermore, since she had already joined the Jialing Pass Magic Group and served as a team leader there, managing more than a dozen people, wouldn't it be irresponsible to just let them go...

But no matter what she said, Xingyuan didn't respond to her and just told her that everything depended on the teacher's opinion. (End of this chapter)
