Chapter 316: His Highness Gets Jealous Too Quick

“I only said that I would protect this group of five. With another addition to the group, I’m afraid that I lack both the interest and the means to do so.” Si Mobai did not beat around the bush. If Lan’er objected to Lin Suyin joining, then he would object to it even more!

Lin Suyin’s eyebrows creased a little at being rejected outright. However, she still smiled gracefully and answered earnestly, “I see. I apologize for being overly excited about making friends. I lacked consideration for all of you. Please, don’t mind me. I will go and ask the other teams if they would like me to join them.”

Seeing how sincere she was, it was hard to turn her down. Luo Yunzhu apologized awkwardly, “I’m sorry. It’s just that we already have our team…”

Maybe she’d been wrong about Lin Suyin? Luo Yunzhu wondered if she was too guarded. She might very well be harmless, unlike Tu Xiupei.

Lin Suyin was very understanding about the whole situation and replied politely, “I was the one who was abrupt, and I apologize for that.”

Seeing how these young people resisted the idea of a new member, it was hard for Luo Yuanjie to make them accept Lin Suyin into the group. He had no choice but to lead Lin Suyin to another team.

Luo Yunzhu snuck between Feng Tianlan’s elbows and locked herself there. Then, she peered over to look at Si Mobai. Trying to act like a good matchmaker, she added, “Haha! We know all about you and His Highness. Now, all that’s left is for the two of you to get to know each other better. I hope you won’t mind us third-wheeling for the whole journey!”

She was proud of how she had prevented Lin Suyin, the love rival, from joining their team. Without Lin Suyin, the young couple could now focus on spending some quality time together. There would be all kinds of opportunities for courtship.

Si Mobai’s gaze was fixed on the girls’ interlocked arms. He frowned slightly. Why were they so close?

“Wh-what…” Luo Yunzhu felt a chill down her spine as Si Mobai shot her with an icy glare with his peach flower eyes. Goosebumps made her move her hands away from Feng Tianlan. She whispered, “His Highness gets very jealous too easily. I am not a man, you know.”

This was not the legendary Demon Wargod she’d heard about from the people.

Feng Tianlan saw the Si Mobai’s darkened face and nudged him a little with her shoulder. “Hmm? Aren’t you afraid of him? How can you speak about him behind his back when he is standing right beside us? Aren’t you afraid that he’ll hear all your teasing?”
