Chapter 171: A Man Should Do a Man!
Caesar didnt pay attention, but after he heard Lin Xiao said that, he immediately turned and looked to the forest to the left.
The leaves rustled under the caress of the breeze, the forest was like a still oil painting, it didnt feel like anything was else, and made people felt relieved.
But Caesar noticed that the rustling sound was too noisy and disorderly, it wasnt the sound of the wind blowing, but the sound of people slowly approaching them!
Damn!
If it wasnt for Lin Xiaos warning, they might have really been ambushed.
Everyone, be careful! There are people in the forest! Caesar placed his hand on his sword and stood in front of everyone else, preparing for battle.
Upon seeing this, everyone became vigilant and went into battle formations with Caesar as the head, Shen DaiYing and Rosie in the middle and Lin Xiao protecting Elena, hiding at the back.
Who is it? Show yourselves! Caesar called out towards the forest.
Lin Xiao found it weird, where did the tradition of shouting to your opponents before fighting get passed down from?
What was even stranger was that they actually came out!
Amazing, I cant believe you guys noticed our presence. A gentle and feeble voice came, and a cute red haired princess stepped out from the shrubbery.
She wore a long robe that was like a pleated skirt, her short red hair covered her ears. Her immature appearance was brimming with youthfulness, her atmosphere was entirely different than those mercilessly killing one another on Despair Island, she was like a lost princess that accidentally tumbled onto this battlefield.
Two men and one woman quickly appeared behind her, the three spread out and carefully covered the princess. They held their weapons and had their gaze on Loran Academy, and would immediately attack if they made any movement.
Lin Xiao felt that hes seen them somewhere before, especially that beautiful little girl. After thinking it over, that guy was clearly
Charles! Its you? Not only did Caesar cry out in shock, but Lin Xiao also shivered.
That little princess, was the eldest prince of Heino Kingdom, and he participated in this competition to represent Heino Academy.
They were different to the other teams, they didnt choose to go low-profile, they were all wearing light yellow skintight uniforms, even Charles robe carried yellow laces that appeared to be moving Chrysanthemums within this emerald green forest, it was especially eye-catching.
Heino Academy, the reigning champions, they were also similarly targeting the champion trophy this time as well, so they were extremely formidable.
Lin Xiao knew that if they wanted to become the champions, then that meant that they would have to cross paths with Heino Academy sooner or later, but he never expected it to come this fast.
It was just the second day and they already encountered a strong enemy, this wasnt necessarily bad. But even if they do win, they would have to pay the price!
Lin Xiao had the ability to restore magic while sleeping, so he wasnt worried about wasting magic, but the others couldnt. If they lose battle strength, its not like he can fight alone, right?
No, no, he doesnt want to be the hero, he would much rather stand behind them while cheering
The two sides had their swords drawn and were silently glaring at one another, the atmosphere was incredibly tense.
This was to be expected, Heino Academy originally planned to hide and wait to ambush them when they approached. In the end, they were detected by Lin Xiao with Elenas help, so they couldnt advance or retreat and just stood standing awkwardly.
Cough why so serious? Just as it was becoming tenser, Charles laughed and broke the silence, Dont be nervous, we bear no hostility.
As if wanting to demonstrate his sincerity, he left the thicket and lead the other three coming to a stop in front of Caesar, maintaining a safe distance.
No hostility? Caesar coldly snorted, If we didnt notice, our crystals might have already been plundered! Your ambush failed so now you say you bear no hostility, how laughable!
Wuu Charles pouted like he was a pitiful little girl and dejectedly said, Caesar, you were cuter when you were younger.
Ah? W-what did you say? Caesar was taken aback.
You followed me around all the time calling me sister, I had to keep telling you to call me brother, but you would never listen you were so cute back then. Charles shook his head regrettably.
Earlier in the tent, he was only thinking about his relationship with Shen DaiYing and never carefully observed his appearance.
He was different from the charming princess vibe that Shen DaiYing gave off, although Charles was one year older than her and three years older than Lin Xiao, but his face still carried an air of immaturity along with some baby fat. His red bangs lifted with the wind, like an adolescent little sister. But his sparkling eyes were filled with depth and sorrow, his sweet smile couldnt hide his inner confidence as if he would never be afraid regardless of adversary.
Charles, s-stop messing around! When did I call you sister?
What do you mean? When I went to visit your father with my uncle a couple of years ago, you called me beautiful and pulled on my skirt oh no, I mean my robe and didnt let me leave. You even called me sister and no matter what I said, you wouldnt believe that I was a brother, sigh. Charles stills sounded serious, but the lifting corners of his mouth betrayed him.
Pulling your skirt? How could you say something so preposterous as a royalty that never happened!
Oh? Really? Then I might have remembered wrong. Charles faintly smiled, and looked to Rosie, I believe the Childe household was also invited to that nights banquet. Rosie, you also came along with your brother, right? I remember that you were seated next to Caesar.
I, I Rosie couldnt retort, so it was probably true.
There were two witnesses so it was hard for him to vindicate himself, his face flushed and he clenched his teeth like he could rush out any time to fight.
I cant imagine Caesar pulling Charles clothes while calling him sister. Lin Xiao whispered to Shen DaiYing.
Mm Caesar was still young, and Charles was indeed beautiful when he was young, so being treated as a sister was natural. Shen DaiYing bitterly responded.
But hes also beautiful now.
is that so? Lin Xiao, dont forget that hes a man! And one year older than me. Shen DaiYing blinked, and carried rebuke in her voice.
Whats wrong with a man? Lin Xiao clenched his fists and majestically cried out, Only a sissy does delicate girls! A real man should do a man!
Eh???
As the two were talking, Caesar abruptly turned around and his razor-sharp eyes pierced them making them flustered.
W-what do you want? Do you also want to do a man? Caesar, you actually like traps like Charles, right? Its a pity Without waiting for Lin Xiao to finish, Caesar interrupted him.
Stop wasting time, lets fight! Support me with Rosie! Shen DaiYing, you keep an eye on Charles, find a way to break through their line of defense. We can win as long as we injure him!
He endured the urge to break into curses, grasped the handle of his sword, bent down and adopted a battle stance.
What brother, sister? this was Despair Island! Words were useless, only strength mattered!
As long as he could defeat Heino Academy here, then Charles clever mouth wouldnt be able to ridicule so easily anymore! Caesar wouldnt engage with him, he would use the most practical method to demonstrate his strength!
Although he did those embarrassing things in the past but the past was in the past, right now, he just had to defeat Charles!
Your majesty, be careful!
Without waiting for Caesar to finish, the youth standing next to Charles spoke.
He looked rather young, he held an exaggerated spear, it was even taller than him. The sharp head had a strange dark color and gave one the chills.
He instantly noticed Caesars hostility and immediately stood in front of Charles to protect him, like a knight protecting the princess.
Devoru, dont worry, I dont want to fight with them. Charles calmly said, and reached out to tug on his clothes, like a child.
But your majesty, you clearly made us
Lin Xiao, what are you waiting for? Hurry up! Caesar noticed their vigilance, without asking for their opinions, he launched an attack!
He unsheathed his sword, his dark red sword emanated a dangerous aura.
The winds started surging, a violent aura surged out of the sword, Caesar once again became the focus of the crowd, Shen DaiYing immediately understood and placed her hand on Snow, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
It was on the verge of a battle!
Just as everyone was prepared for a nasty fight, Lin Xiao did something that shocked everyone.
He used his right hand to hold Shen DaiYings arm, not letting her dash out, then used his left hand to grad Caesars wrist and shoved the sword he drew back into his scabbard.
Were also not fighting. Lin Xiao ordered.
