Chapter 14 Long Xingyu's Promise, Rose's Favor, Returning to Hao Yue Branch Hall!
As soon as Ye Ling spoke.
Everyone present, even Li Xin, was startled. Curiosity flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she didn't continue speaking, just stood aside watching silently.
She felt relieved. Actually, based on her interactions with Ye Ling over the past two or three years, she knew that Ye Ling would inevitably refuse Long Xingyu. But for some reason, just now, her heart had panicked, as if someone important was about to leave.
Since everything was fine now, she would just go with the flow.
Hearing this, Long Haochen felt a bit regretful. It seemed he wouldn't be able to train together with Brother Ye next. How upsetting.
As for Long Xingyu, he looked at Ye Ling with some confusion. He wasn't angry, just curious. What he had offered was a huge temptation; why could Ye Ling resist it? "Give me a reason?"
"Teacher Long." Ye Ling almost blurted out Long Xingyu's name, ultimately choosing to play it safe. Instead, he asked back: "Teacher, may I ask you, if the Assassin Temple had recruited you in the past, offering resources rich enough to allow you to advance faster to your current level, or even further, would you have chosen to join the Assassin Temple?"
Hearing this, Long Xingyu paused, then said directly: "No. After all, the Knight Temple is my home."
Having said that, he realized what Ye Ling meant and understood immediately: "I understand. In that case, you may remain at the Hao Yue Branch Hall."
After saying this, Long Xingyu thought of something, a smile flashing in his eyes, and then thought of another approach: "However, if you are willing, during the time I am teaching Haochen, you can also find me. I can give you some pointers then."
Hearing Long Xingyu's words, Ye Ling also nodded and said: "Then thank you very much, Teacher. With your guidance on the path of cultivation, the prospect of stepping into the Ninth Rank in the future, even achieving the status of a Divine Knight, has a much greater guarantee!"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Long Xingyu smiled, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. Very good. He was very satisfied with Ye Ling's words. Wasn't this the humility of the Ten Knightly Codes?
Displayed vividly!
A good thing!
A great thing!
Similarly, Long Xingyu also believed that Ye Ling must have figured out his true identity from the previously unheard "Long" character, the question about the Assassin Temple poaching talent, and the final humble words – all greatly revealed everything.
Yes!
Meticulous, truly meticulous!
"Let's go, Haochen." Long Xingyu took Long Haochen and left. He planned to carry out some deeper operations!
Having been separated from his "son" for so long, he naturally had to nurture him well. After Haochen trained hard and rested, he could also take the opportunity to find his mother, his beloved Bai Yue.
Thinking of Bai Yue, Long Xingyu sighed, feeling as if something unwarranted might be growing on his head.
However, before leaving, Long Xingyu also took out an item and gave it to Ye Ling, asking him to deliver it to Nalan Shu later.
After Long Xingyu and the others left, Instructor Balzac also gave Ye Ling a deep look, seemingly regretful, but didn't say much and just left like that.
Only Li Xin on the side suddenly grabbed Ye Ling, winking at him, and said: "Little brother, why didn't you leave with that Knight? He looks quite strong." Li Xin said this.
Hearing this, Ye Ling changed his demeanor, suddenly turned around, grabbed Li Xin's delicate hand, his gaze extremely sincere, and said: "Actually, the Hao Yue Branch Hall and all that is secondary."
"What I'm more reluctant to leave is you, Sister Xin'er, my good sister who's going to be mine soon!"
After Ye Ling said this, a special emotion even flashed in his eyes.
"Alright, alright, little brother, don't be like this, sister is scared." Li Xin quickly pulled her hand away from Ye Ling's demonic grasp, looking at him very strangely.
This guy was very reliable at critical moments, so why was he usually so improper?
But it was also normal. If he were proper all the time, he wouldn't be Ye Ling.
"Leaving?" Li Xin said.
"Let's go. I might come back later, but it's probably better to leave first for now," Ye Ling said to Li Xin.
He needed to come back later, not because he planned to develop long-term in the Odin Branch Hall, but because of an event that would happen later.
Yes, roughly around the time Long Haochen underwent his Sacred Awakening, the Wolf Demon Clan would invade on a large scale, even bringing a Ninth Rank Peak Wolf Demon God. Fortunately, Long Xingyu was there at that time; otherwise, the casualties would have been horrific.
But even so, it still resulted in nearly thirty percent, or even half, of the Odin Branch Hall's residents dying. Ye Ling didn't want this to actually happen. He had feelings for this place too, and besides, dealing with the Demon Clan was inherently his duty.
However, he still had to leave when it was time. Staying in the Odin Branch Hall wouldn't allow him to improve his strength. The Hao Yue Branch Hall was still useful to him now.
Therefore, he chose to go back first.
"Okay." Li Xin nodded. Then, she stretched out her hand, and an extremely brilliant rose-red magic array appeared. The next moment, a pink unicorn, shimmering with the fragrance of roses, emerged from the array.
It stood beside Li Xin.
This was Li Xin's magical beast partner, the Rose Unicorn, Rose.
She was Li Xin's most important partner.
However, upon seeing Ye Ling, she instantly abandoned Li Xin, stretched out her large head, and nudged Ye Ling, seemingly trying to curry favor. She liked Ye Ling very much too.
Li Xin: "..."
Wait, whose magical beast partner are you? I'm your master, right? I'm still here? Is it okay for you to act like this?
"Sister Xin'er, this is charm. You can't learn it." Seeing Li Xin's speechless expression, Ye Ling smiled and then patted Rose's head.
This scene made Li Xin feel even more helpless, but she didn't say much, just swung herself onto Rose's back and said grumpily: "Get on."
"Haha." Ye Ling laughed heartily, then swung himself up directly, wrapping his arm around Li Xin's slender waist, bringing them close together.
Li Xin's small face flushed red, but she didn't say much. Rose started running, and they quickly headed back.
The gate of Hao Yue Branch Hall.
Ye Ling and Li Xin quickly returned here.
Rose was very fast, and the Hao Yue Branch Hall wasn't far from the Odin Branch Hall. Odin Town was a subsidiary town of Hao Yue City, essentially right next to it.
Seeing the two of them return, the Quasi-Knights guarding the gate didn't say much, just silently opened the gate.
Yeah, blocking Hell Rose's way? Tired of living? Wasn't that just purely looking for an excuse to be practiced on?
Not long after entering, Rose was recalled by Li Xin. After recalling Rose, Li Xin looked at Ye Ling curiously and asked: "Little brother, what do you plan to do next? Come with me to find Uncle Nalan?"
"I plan to go to the Testing Hall first."
"What are you going to the Testing Hall for?"
"To test, of course. I've broken through to become a genuine Knight and now have internal spiritual energy. I just don't know the specific level yet."
"??? What did you say?" Li Xin was greatly shocked!
