Chapter 96 Cai Er: I Miss You
Xingyuan was silent for a while. Looking at Wang Yuanyuan who looked serious, he didn't know what to say to her for a moment.

Do I really not need this little money?

No, there is a sense of arrogance between the lines...

"How about I keep the money here with you for now. I'll go to the auction house in a few days, and when I check the bills and the round of 16 starts, I'll come back to get it from you."

Xingyuan thought about it and proposed a compromise plan.

After all, he wouldn't feel bad even if he lost those pills. They were just little gadgets that could easily make dozens of them in a furnace, and they weren't high-level pills made with precious ingredients.

But even these little gadgets made by him, a top-grade potion master, can be sold at sky-high prices in the market. Xingyuan would feel heartbroken if he bought them himself, not to mention Wang Yuanyuan, a warrior who came from a fallen family.

The money on this magic crystal card must have been accumulated bit by bit from the meager bounties she received from taking on missions at the Adventurer's Association...

If Wang Yuanyuan was a lady of noble birth like Chen Ying'er and Cai'er, then Xingyuan would have accepted the money without even thinking about it, but Wang Yuanyuan was not that kind of lady, so Xingyuan really didn't want to take her money.

But what he didn't expect was that Wang Yuanyuan still shook her head and said to him: "You don't have to go to the auction house for something like this. I know you are very busy."

I am very busy?
Xingyuan bit his lip, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

He himself didn't know when he established a busy persona in the minds of others...

However, considering that he also has a professional identity as a top-grade potion master who can make a fortune every day, it is understandable that he caused their misunderstanding.

What they didn't know was that Xingyuan's job as a special-grade potion master had been outsourced to another special-grade potion master...

Seeing that Xingyuan didn't say anything, Wang Yuanyuan continued, "I know that with your status, this amount of money is nothing to you, but I never have the habit of owing favors to others."

Wang Yuanyuan once again handed the magic crystal card to Xingyuan and said, "You paid for our meal that day. After I recovered from my injury, I went to the restaurant to ask the manager. If you need it, I'll pay for it next time..."

"I believe you."

Xingyuan was also a little helpless because of Wang Yuanyuan's stubborn personality.

Since she has already said this, if he doesn't take the other party's money, it will be Xingyuan's fault.

"Then I'll accept it."

Xingyuan took the magic crystal card from Wang Yuanyuan, but before leaving, he did not forget to say to her, "We are all friends, there is no need to be so polite. If you need any help and I can help you, you can always come to me."

Although Wang Yuanyuan nodded and said "hmm" after listening to him, Xingyuan could see that she would not be embarrassed to ask him for help even if she encountered a problem.

How can there be such a stubborn girl...

Xingyuan looked at Wang Yuanyuan's magic crystal card in his hand and felt a little guilty for no reason. Would it be better if he didn't give her those pills after the game that day?
After all, Wang Yuanyuan was paying him back for the pills at the auction price like he was doing now, which made him feel like he was doing a forced sale.

After using his spiritual power to check the balance in Wang Yuanyuan's magic crystal card, Xingyuan was a little amused.

Fortunately, Wang Yuanyuan should have swallowed his pills first and then went to the auction house to ask someone about the price of these pills.

Otherwise, if she wanted to repay the favor, she would probably have to bear a huge debt.

Because Xingyuan, as a top-class potion master, could refine pills of much better quality and more effective than those potion masters at the auction house who he considered inferior. And because Xingyuan had a cooperative relationship with the Holy Alliance Auction House, any pill produced by Xingyuan would be auctioned at the auction, and the price would be more than four or five times higher than the same pills from others...

"Xingyuan, what are you looking at?"

Cai'er's head suddenly popped out from beside him, looking at the magic crystal card in his hand, and asked curiously: "Isn't this our magic crystal card?"

"Ah."

Xingyuan nodded and put the magic crystal card into his pocket, thinking about when he would find an opportunity to return Wang Yuanyuan's "hard-earned money".

But he did not forget to explain to Cai'er, "This is the money Wang Yuanyuan and I used to buy the elixir."

"Eh."

Cai'er blinked. She had a good impression of Wang Yuanyuan. "Xingyuan, did you give Sister Yuanyuan a discount? Aren't your pills very expensive?"

"It should be considered a discount."

Xingyuan didn't know what to say, but he also reminded Caier not to let Wang Yuanyuan know about this.

Cai'er nodded obediently, "Yes."

Xingyuan looked at Cai'er, who had a ribbon covering her eyes and was still unwilling to let her family and great-grandfather know that her eyesight had been restored, and he was silent for a long time.

"...Wait, I just realized why are you here, Cai'er? Didn't you say you would wait for me in the hotel room after the competition?"

Cai'er chuckled when she heard that, and gently pulled down one side of the ribbon covering her eyes, revealing her eyes as bright as amethyst. She glanced at Xingyuan and quickly pulled it back up again.

"I miss you."

"You're suddenly so cheesy."

……

With the end of the last group match of the Demon Hunter Team Selection Tournament, each major group stage has also decided the first and second place with the most wins.

There are only the last four left who need to be evaluated by the leaders of the six holy temples before the final decision can be made. The places for promotion are still controversial and will take several days of discussion to be decided.

As the Holy Alliance Executive announced the list of players who advanced to the round of 16, Xingyuan also saw many familiar faces among them.

The son of the plane, Long Haochen, the bald priest and skin warrior Sima Xian, the defeated general Huang Yi, Chen Ying'er and her ex-fiancé, and the needy Yang Wenzhao...

However, what surprised Xingyuan was that Wang Yuanyuan, who was in the same division as him, actually got the four places that needed to be evaluated by the major temples before advancing to the top 16.

I think it was because the senior executives saw that she was the only one in the entire magic trial field who dared to fight Xingyuan, and that her own strength was indeed impressive, that they gave this spot to Wang Yuanyuan.

After all, if Wang Yuanyuan was replaced by a player from other regions, especially a member of the Magic or Assassin's Temple, it is estimated that Xingyuan would have set a league record of not playing a single game in the group stage but entering the round of 16 with a perfect record.

Counting himself and Cai'er, half of the top 16 were people he knew...
