Chapter 155 – Maid Suppor (2/2)
He felt that Shen DaiYing’s attitude had changed slightly towards him.
If she could calmly accept his adoration before, now, she could be said to be more wanton.
It was like she didn’t care about how others saw them, or about her engagement. Shouldn’t Lin Xiao rejoice?
No, he was worried.
Because he knew that this happiness would disappear soon, it was just a matter of when.

Heino Kingdom
Despair Island Lake
After a long and difficult trek, they all finally arrived at the lakeside.
The competition was near, other than them, the hundred or so other teams arrived one by one. The good thing was that it was spacious enough, and Heino Kingdom as the host set up a receivedng spot, all of the teams set up camp and quietly waited for the competition to begin.
“Hey look, why are there so many people there?”
“Idiot, that’s the Water academy from Linheyan! Sigh, as expected of an experienced team, even though they came late, no one dares to bother them. Look, they set up closest to the lakeside and chased everyone else away!”
Within the campy, there was a bunch of bored people gossiping in high spirits.
“Tsk, so what? Water academy has always been honorable and won through their strength, not like a certain academy, who’s full of evil tricks!”
“You’re not talking about Gotham Kingdom’s Cato Academy, right… be careful of them hearing you.”
“Hmph, what are you afraid of? Even if all they practice are those despicable assassination techniques, you think they’re going to come and kill me?”
They were chatting like nobody’s business, and Lin Xiao coincidentally heard while passing by.
Just like they said, Cato academy’s actions disgusted people, everyone was clearly gathered by the lakeside, but when they came they set up in a remote corner like they were starving wolves eyeing their prey from within the shrubs.
Lin Xiao wasn’t worried about Water Academy, but rather the treacherous and cunning Cato Academy. Ambushes still threaten him somewhat.
“Lin Xiao? Lin Xiao! Damn brat… where did he run off to!?”
“Teacher Woos, I-I just went out for a walk!” Hearing him, he quickly ran towards that old man, “Ah, it’s so beautiful! I plan on taking Sister… oh no, princess Shen DaiYing for a stroll!”
He prudently corrected himself, at least in front of others he couldn’t directly call Shen DaiYing as “Sister Ying”.
“Hurry up Lin Xiao! Bring your maid and take her to see the head judge!”
“Ah?”
Lin Xiao stopped, and found Elena who was still trying to cook something and brought her to a large tent in the center of the camp.
As soon as he entered, to his surprise, he found everyone from Loran Academy waiting there like something big was going to happen.
According to the process, Woos had to represent Loran Academy and confirm the teams, but after the judge heard that he wanted to bring a maid other than the four participants, they instantly became alert, thinking that they wanted to cheat which lead to the current situation.
“Old man Woos, when did Loran Academy become like Cato Academy? You actually disguised external help as a maid… how laughable.”
Inside the tent, a middle-aged woman put on a ridiculing smile and spoke with animosity.
“Cough… Jennifer, that’s too much! What evidence do you have to speak that way?” Woos frowned and retorted but still restrained himself.
Jennifer was under Heino Kingdom Imperial orders to serve as the head judge, if she was angered, then Loran Academy might be kicked out and sent home before the competition even began.
