Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Her finger gently brushed against the emerald green jade bracelet on her wrist as her eyes filled with a sense of struggle .
Should I lift the seal now?
If I lift this seal, my family members would then be able to find me . When that time comes, I must return to my family and accept their marriage alliance! I must serve my family for the rest of my life!
If I don't do this, the flaming lion and Brother Xia will die . There's no way we can hold on until our Leader returns .
Gu Lan took a deep breath at the thought of this and opened her watery eyes . If anyone were paying close attention to her, they would notice an almost indiscernible layer of white slowly emerging from her body, followed by a force of energy . . .
"Isn't it a little irrational for so many of you to bully a young lady?"
That voice was as tender as a young man's but it was exceptionally moving .
Gu Lan paused the finger which she had placed on the jade bracelet . She then turned around to see that the delicate youth had emerged from the doors . Her eyes reddened as she said, "Brother Xia, what are you doing out here? I'm sorry, it's my fault . I've dragged you down . "
Xia Linyu smiled gently and shook his head . His gaze then fell upon the crowd in front of him as the smile on his delicate features deepened .
"If you're really that desperate, you should look for the men of the World Destruction Mercenaries . Why gang up together on a young lady?"
"Hmph!"
The Leader of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries scoffed icily . His face sank as he spoke in an eerie voice, "Are you the little fair-faced one that Gu Lan had brought back? Actually, you're quite good looking . You're much better looking than the people that we've killed all those years before! Still, it's a pity that you want to save the damsel in distress . I'm afraid that you won't have the chance now . Trusted Advisor, I'll give you one last chance . Kill this brat!"
The Trusted Advisor had been feeling rather downcast over being placed downwind in his fight against the flaming lion . Now, after he heard the Leader of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries' words, his eyes lit up as he sneered, "Don't worry, Leader . I might not have been able to get rid of the flaming lion but it won't be a problem for me to take care of this weak and crippled young man . I will only need one strike to kill him instantly!"
As he spoke, the Trusted Advisor was already charging towards Xia Linyu .
His eyes were filled with murderous intent and his lips curled into a smile that indicated his determination for victory .
To him, killing Xia Linyu would be far too easy!
Just as he swung the sword in his hand, a loud clang was heard . A layer of protection seemed to have appeared from out of nowhere . His sword was only a few millimeters away from Xia Linyu's body yet he was unable to reach him no matter how hard he tried .
"Trusted Advisor, what on earth are you doing? Can it be that you can't bear to strike the fair-faced boy?"
The Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries felt a wave of skepticism when they saw the Trusted Advisor's actions .
Upon hearing their skeptical voices, the Trusted Advisor's face flushed red as he swung his sword once again .
Clang!
The sound was clear and crisp but it was not very obvious . Only the Trusted Advisor, who was very close by, could hear it .
At that moment, the crowd could only see the Trusted Advisor waving his sword in the air willy-nilly without landing a single strike on Xia Linyu .
"Trusted Advisor, are you dancing? Even if you want to celebrate, you should wait until after we've vanquished the World Destruction Mercenaries!"
The crowd was getting impatient . What is this Trusted Advisor doing? He has only been tasked with killing a useless cripple yet he requires such a long process?
When the Trusted Advisor saw that the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries' Leader was starting to look thoroughly unsatisfied as well, he immediately turned around with a reddened face, "Leader, I don't know what's going on either . It feels as if a wall has formed here, separating me from him . My sword can't go through at all!"
