Chapter 34: Did Nothing, Yet Did Everything
No, Palace Master, are you serious?
The first one to be stunned was Ying Suifeng. He thought that the Palace Master called him here today to arrest someone and bring Xingyuan to Lin Chen to seek justice from him. He didn't expect that the other party would do this.

Xingyuan didn't react either, only Shengyue and Caier knew.

If he hadn't acted like he was going to search the entire Holy City for Cai'er last night, Cai'er would probably still be in pain, struggling, and confused, and might even not go to see Xingyuan.

"I feel relieved to leave Cai'er to you."

Sheng Yue continued in a voice that only they could hear: "I also believe that you have the ability to take good care of her, but I hope you don't kidnap Cai'er to the Magic Temple.

You are from the Magic Temple, and the Assassin's Temple is Cai'er's home, so you must make this clear."

Xingyuan seemed to be hesitant to talk. He wanted to say that he could actually be a member of the Assassin's Temple, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Lin Chen and his grandson Lin Xin not far away.

Obviously, Lin Xin was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so he quickly moved his grandfather over to save the situation.

Lin Chen originally wanted to do this, but after taking a closer look at who the person who was talking to Xing Yuan was, he suddenly felt his legs go weak and began to back down.

Omg!

Why is it that old guy Shengyue?
"Grandpa, we can't delay any longer."

Lin Xin said at the side: "Xingyuan brought the Assassin's Temple player to his room to spend the night. If you don't help him, he will be in big trouble."

Lin Chen, who was originally undecided and didn't know what trouble Xingyuan had committed to attract this giant Buddha, suddenly widened his eyes, his crow's feet straightened, and his voice changed several tones when he heard this.

"What did you say?!"

It’s over, it’s over. Xingyuan is in big trouble. This girl from the Assassin’s Temple must be related to that old guy Shengyue, otherwise he would never appear in the Holy City at this time.

On the other side, Xingyuan felt a little uneasy when he was looked at by Shengyue and Ying Suifeng, so he quickly expressed his opinion.

"Great Grandfather, I will definitely protect Cai'er and won't let her be sad."

Xingyuan nodded heavily. "Also, I will clearly distinguish the relationship between the two temples. I have not disclosed anything about Cai'er to the Magic Temple, and I will not let Cai'er do anything for us."

"I feel relieved when you say this." Sheng Yue's face was full of relief.

What he wanted was what Xingyuan said.

He has accepted the fact that Cai'er cannot live without Xingyuan, and he doesn't mind that Cai'er values ​​Xingyuan more than the Assassin's Templar.

The only thing that is unacceptable is to let that old man Li Zhengzhi know about Cai'er's existence, otherwise he will definitely find ways to snatch Cai'er away.

Fortunately, Xingyuan was a child raised by their Assassin's Temple. His character was impeccable and his sense of belonging to the Assassin's Temple was much stronger than to the Magic Temple.

If his physique was not really unsuitable for practicing the Assassin's Temple's heritage, Shengyue would have transferred him to their Assassin's Temple long ago.

"Today is the first official day of the competition, and it's almost time."

With the reminder from Ying Suifeng, Sheng Yue realized that they could not delay any longer, so he turned sideways and let Xing Yuan take Cai'er away.

"It's okay great-grandfather."

Xingyuan shook his head slightly and said softly: "I am also at level five, and I have a bye in the first two rounds of the elimination rounds.

The reason I brought Cai Er out was simply to relax or watch the game."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shengyue and Ying Suifeng were stunned.

Are you level five too?
Shengyue didn't say anything. He reached out and was about to take Xingyuan's hand to measure his bone age.

Xingyuan did not resist, he knew Shengyue just needed to confirm. "If you ask me, Elder Sheng, isn't this against the rules?"

Several people looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that it was Lin Chen, the deputy hall master of the Magic Temple stationed in the Holy City.

"What's against the rules, Xiao Linzi?" Sheng Yue sneered.

Although Shengyue and Lin Chen both look like grandfathers, in fact, Shengyue is several dozen years older than Lin Chen. For professionals of their level, their lifespan is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary people.

"Old Saint, I am now the deputy master of the Magic Temple. Even if I am your junior, you should not humiliate me in front of so many children."

Although he was reluctant to admit it, when Shengyue became famous, he, Lin Chen, was indeed just a young boy and grew up listening to their stories.

Lin Chen took a deep breath and said, "Xingyuan is from our Magic Temple after all. He made a mistake. It is true that we, the elders, failed to discipline him properly. But is it really appropriate for you to embarrass a child without even saying hello?"

Lin Chen's words made Sheng Yue and the others silent.

Obviously, because of the soundproof barrier that Shengyue had just set up, he did not hear the conversation between the few people. He only saw Shengyue reaching out his hand to Xingyuan, and he could not help but jump out.

There is a misunderstanding here, but Shengyue won't say it.

Losing face is one thing, but the key is not to let this thief know about Cai'er.

Lin Chen also vaguely realized that things might not be as his bastard said.

But no matter what, the most urgent task is not to let Shengyue know the secret of Xingyuan and his importance to their own magic temple.

Although he felt that Shengyue would not do such a shameless thing, he had to be on guard against him using the girl to threaten Xingyuan into submission after he found out.

"Humph--"

The two of them snorted at the same time, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.

"Xingyuan, I'll leave Cai'er to you during this period of time."

Shengyue walked away, but his voice reached the ears of Xingyuan and Caier.

"I know that children of your age have poor self-control and will not be able to control themselves, but you must be careful and take it easy. If something really happens, you must take responsibility like a man and marry Cai'er formally."

This time, not only Cai'er, but even Xingyuan's face turned red.

Cai'er took out a veil from her storage ring and put it on. Xingyuan not only did not stop her, he even planned to ask for one to put on himself.

"no?"

Lin Chen noticed the two's actions and came forward, looking Xing Yuan up and down for a long time before finally asking, "Did you really take the girl from the Assassin's Temple to your room to spend the night?"

It is true that we stayed overnight, but it was not the kind of overnight that you people are thinking of.

Xingyuan opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start explaining.

In the Holy Demon Continent, when a man and a woman spend the night in the same room, it is basically equivalent to confirming their relationship. It is also a rare opportunity for Xingyuan to see the relatively conservative aspects of this place.

"Ah."

Xingyuan knew that he could never clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River, so he simply accepted it. It was only a matter of time anyway.
