Chapter 67 A Man Should Have the Audacity to Be a Third Wheel (1/2)

Since Leng Yuexin asked him to stay, Lin Huang did not excuse himself though the others wanted him to. Li Yanxing was expressionless and it was obvious that the other young men were unhappy yet they did not say a word. It was awkward but Lin Huang decided to join the team anyway. He was also the only outsider who followed.

”I guess you don’t have a mount, am I right?” Leng Yuexin asked Lin Huang.

”No, I can’t afford that…” Lin Huang was honest.

The young men from royalty judged Lin Huang when they heard what he said.

”You'll ride with me then, I didn’t bring extra mounts.” Leng Yuexin offered but her expression remained cold, it was obvious that she was just offering so that she could complete the mission.

”Bro Lin, why don’t you ride with me instead? Miss Leng is a lady and it may not be convenient.” Li Yanxing saw and offered Lin Huang a ride with him.

Leng Yuexin looked at Lin Huang to wait for his decision.

Lin Huang asked Xiao Hei, ”The mission card requested me to enter w.a.n.gyou Forest with Leng Yuexin, must I ride with her or can we go our separate ways?”

”You can be separated from her as long as the both of you enter w.a.n.gyou Forest together.”

After hearing the response, Lin Huang said, ”I’m good with anything as long as I get a ride.”

Lin Huang noticed that it was because of Leng Yuexin that made Li Yanxing insist on him withdrawing from the mission. Now that he shamelessly joined the team, if he were to ride with Leng Yuexin, it would cause rifts between him and Li Yanxing. He did not want to complicate things as his goal was to complete his mission.

In reality, he never wanted to be a third wheel. He did not expect to b.u.mp into Li Yanxing and the rest. If the mission card was not activated, he would definitely accept Li Yanxing’s suggestion to hire an adventurer team to bring him into the forest. It would have been a better option as the team could get him to the area where the Six-Armed Demon was.

Seeing that Lin Huang did not have any qualms, Leng Yuexin nodded without saying a word. They walked outside the south door foothold and took out their monster taming token. They then released the mounts from their tokens. The monster taming token was a unique tool that would create a contract with a tamed monster and seal the monster in the token. They can release the monster temporarily whenever they needed it.

The token was comparable to relics as ordinary people could not afford to use it. Those who could afford it would only use it for mounts or to create a contract with rare mutated monsters. If one were to seal an ordinary monster in it, its value would drop lower than the price of the token.
