Chapter 251 – Pitiful Child (2/2)
Greenton didn’t understand. He had another mission so he couldn’t stay for long, so he had to leave interrogating Lin Xiao for another time.
He bid farewell to Woos and got up to leave.
When he left, he lifted a large blackish stone that was even bigger than himself… no, that wasn’t a stone, it was a wide and thick sword.
No matter how large Greenton was, the huge sword far surpassed him and was incongruous.
For whatever reason, the sword didn’t have a scabbard, and was wrapped in a thick black cloth and looked liked like a stone on the side of the road. It was nothing like the hero’s dedicated weapon, or the legendary holy sword blessed by the goddess.
“Old man, I’m heading off, take care of your back when you get back! Don’t die too early, I’m too lazy to clean your grave!”
“Bastard… I’ll definitely live longer than you! Cough…”
Woos saw that man off while setting a serious flag until his huge sword disappeared below the horizon and the tobacco smell disappeared and then he slowly stood up.
Everyone had their own ways of saying goodbye, and each way was different to one another.
Perhaps this was Greenton’s way of saying goodbye to his former teacher.
What will Lin Xiao and his maid’s goodbye look like?
…
…
“Honorary Champions?”
Three youths were packing their stuff while chatting about the academy tournament that just concluded.
The teams heading back were either happy and making jokes, like Bamboo Academy, or depressed, like Water and Cato Academy.
Loran Academy was neither happy or sad, they were angry!
“Why are they the Champions and we’re just the honorary champions?”
Rosie was complaining nonstop inside the tent.
“On what grounds? Ah? Because of those idiot siblings? How are they stronger than us? Caesar alone can beat the four of them! I wont accept it, I’m going to ask them to a duel! If we win, they should hand over the champion title!”
“Ah, Rosie, calm down first.” Shen DaiYing grabbed her arm as she looked like she was about to rush out looking for a fight, “Even if they’re not as strong, but didn’t they save us? Even if we lost the points because we met those monsters, but everything ended well and we survived and didn’t lose much in the end!”
“Shen DaiYing, all you know how to do is pretend to be nice!”
When Rosie heard her, she became even more angry and attacked Shen DaiYing instead.
“I still haven’t asked… why did you leave with Lin Xiao? What did you two go do? Don’t try to bullshit me with some lousy excuse like you were ambushed!”
“Um… that…”
Shen DaiYing awkwardly pursed her lips and hesitated to answer.
“Since you don’t believe me… why don’t you ask Lin Xiao?”
“Hah? Don’t give me that crap! Don’t forget, you’re still Caesar’s fiancée, so stop messing around with that pervert all the time! You bitch, you…”
“Enough Rosie! Pack your things, we should get going!”
Caesar who was silent finally spoke.
“But! Hm…”
After being yelled out, Rosie didn’t dare make a fuss. She glared at Shen DaiYing and then went back to her own stuff.
“Did anyone see Lin Xiao? Call him back, we’re going to be late if we don’t leave!” Caesar furrowed his brows at Shen DaiYing like he wanted to show his status as the fiancé.
“Him?” Shen DaiYing just realized Lin Xiao wasn’t there and looked towards Rosie for help.
“Hmph, don’t worry about him, he already left with his maid, saying he went to do… oh right, for a goodbye!”
“Goodbye? What goodbye?”
