When Xingyuan saw this, he immediately realized that Cai'er had been following him and Tan Wan, but she didn't catch up immediately in order to give them space to talk alone.

"Jealous?"

Xingyuan was straightforward. Thanks to Caier's personality, he didn't need to beat around the bush with the other party. He could just say whatever he thought.

"how come?"

Cai'er shook her head, and then hugged Xingyuan's arms tightly, "That's Sister Tan Wan. She has been with you for as long as I have, and her feelings for you..."

Having said that, Cai'er stopped talking.

She believed and could see that Tan Wan had real feelings for Xingyuan, otherwise he would not have given up his position as captain of the magic corps to become Xingyuan's magic follower.

It’s just that she felt that he loved Xingyuan more than her, and to her, nothing in the world was more important than Xingyuan.

"what happened?"

Noticing that Cai'er had suddenly stopped making any sound, Xingyuan couldn't help but glance at her and asked curiously.

"nothing."

Cai Er shook her head, and then as if she had thought of something, her beautiful eyes sparkled, "But even if Sister Tan Wan has been with you longer than I have, you must not forget that I was here first."

Xingyuan certainly understood what Caier meant by these words.

She was simply worried that with so many people around her, the time they would spend with her would gradually become less and less, but her thoughts were still so easy to understand.

However, she was completely overthinking it. After obtaining the Tower of Eternity from the Holy Necromancer Alex, he would only spend more time and attention on Cai'er.

After all, if he wants Cai'er to truly break free from the curse of the Reincarnation Soul Furnace, she must climb to the top of the Tower of Eternity and become a true disciple of Alex.

However, it would be extremely difficult for Cai'er to reach the top of the Tower of Eternity on her own, and she must have the help of Xingyuan.

Not to mention that Cai'er has never used the Eternal Melody as a medium to the Tower of Eternity since she obtained the inheritance of Alex in the Howling Cave of Fear. She has not even taken the initiative to mention this matter to Xingyuan, as if she had never had this thing.

Xingyuan naturally couldn't accept that he had spent so much effort to modify the plot of the original world, and even risked their lives being turned into undead creatures forever by Alex, only to have the Tower of Eternity that Cai'er had obtained be covered in dust.

Even if we ignore the fact that Alex has the ability to help Cai'er escape from the control of the Samsara Soul Furnace and the God of Death behind it, the fact that the Tower of Eternity itself is a great artifact is enough to make Xingyuan, who is just about to reach the sixth level of cultivation, spend a lot of time on it.

So in addition to retreating with Cai'er to prepare for a breakthrough to the sixth level these two days, Xingyuan also has to discuss matters related to the Tower of Eternity with her.

If possible, he also wanted to work with Cai'er to open up the first and second floors of the Tower of Eternity, and unlock several holy guards who were extremely powerful and knowledgeable to assist the team in the future.

……

Jialing City, a human super city with a magic temple as its seat and directly governed by it, is far more prosperous than the Exorcist City where Xingyuan and Cai'er originally lived.

Xingyuan had only been away for three months, and the street he used to walk on had changed a lot, with many new and strange things that he had never seen before. From the most common food and clothing to various new and strange magic products, there was everything, but most of these things were only for ordinary people without cultivation, and they were not very attractive to professionals like Xingyuan and Cai'er.

Not to mention that with Xingyuan's vision as a senior weaponsmith, he could tell its composition and materials at a glance, and knew that these were all superficial and impractical things.

Damn, my occupational disease strikes again...

Xingyuan knocked his head twice with a headache, then looked sideways at Cai'er who was standing next to him, looking curiously at the roadside stalls.

Unlike Xingyuan who has lived here for nearly ten years, Cai'er is visiting Jialing City, a city famous for its freedom and prosperity, for the first time.

"Want to take a look?"

Xingyuan stopped and asked her softly.

"No, no need..."

Cai'er seemed to realize why Xingyuan suddenly asked her this, and immediately retracted her gaze, shook her head and said to him: "Xingyuan, don't you have other things to do? Let me finish your things first..."

“That’s when they should close down.”

Cai'er is as sensible as ever, but fortunately Xingyuan's affairs are not urgent.

After all, the people he was going to find were all professionals like them. As long as they were not in seclusion, it would be fine to find them at any time. Not to mention that they were hoping that Xingyuan could visit them more often.

Seeing Cai'er opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something to him, Xingyuan shook his head and led her to the stalls in front of the stall owners dressed as magic apprentices, "We don't need this much time."

As he spoke, he came to a stall owner who looked the youngest. Even the smallest size magic apprentice robe looked very loose on him.

Xingyuan was also a magic apprentice, so he knew very well how difficult life was for these magic apprentices who had mediocre qualifications and ordinary family conditions, who could neither afford expensive training resources nor pay for guidance from a mentor.

It was just that he was lucky at that time. The person who was responsible for giving him magical enlightenment and leading him on the path of becoming a magician was Tan Wan. Not only did he not suffer any hardship, he even learned the most orthodox introductory knowledge of magic in their Magic Temple without spending a single stitch.

"Pick whatever you want. You can be as willful as you want with me."

Xingyuan pulled Cai'er to squat in front of the stall and helped her tuck her long hair behind her ears. "Of course, you can't do this again without my consent."

"Humph."

Cai'er reached out and picked up a colorful crystal bead from the stall. While looking at it curiously, she did not forget to ask Xingyuan for credit for the work she had done earlier. "If I hadn't helped you at noon, you would have been hit in the face by Sister Tan Wan."

"Sister Tan Wan will probably be reluctant to let go."

Xing Yuan subconsciously touched his face after hearing this and replied with a smile: "But I can also generate a layer of petrified skin."

Upon hearing this, Cai Er couldn't help but pout and replied, "If I hadn't said something good about you to Sister Tan Wan, how could she have agreed to your request to invite her to join the team?" (End of this chapter)
