C12 Hunting
Outside of Coleman City, outside the Magical Beast Forest, in the aristocratic hunting camp.
"Andrew Allen, don't run!" Shoshone angrily shouted at Andrew Allen, who was already far away. "You're cheating!"
"Alright, Saudi snow." Lisa gently pinched Saudi Xue's chubby little face, then looked at Linley's bleeding right hand. She said to Linley, "Your right hand still needs to be dealt with. Follow me!"
As she spoke, Lisa reached out towards Linley's uninjured left hand. But as soon as she touched Linley's left hand, she was stunned by the icy cold look on Linley's palm.
Seeing Lisa's expression, Linley couldn't help but feel frightened. Hurriedly, he pulled his left hand away from Lisa's hand.
Seeing Linley hide his left hand behind his back in a fluster, Lisa smiled secretively, then patted Linley on the shoulder, gesturing for him to follow her. Then, ignoring Linley's expression, she leisurely strolled back to her own residence, suddenly revealing a brilliant smile, causing the hairs on Linley's back to involuntarily stand up.
Linley glanced at his left hand, which was wrapped in a piece of cloth, then looked at the gradually disappearing Lisa. Clenching his teeth, he ran in Lisa's direction, slowing down after following her footsteps. Not far away, he followed behind Linley, maintaining a certain distance between him and Lisa.
Sensing that Linley was following closely behind her, Lisa smiled. Without turning back, she continued to advance in the direction of her own residence.
(What did she find out?) What did you find?)
Staring nervously at the smiling Lisa, Linley felt as though fifteen buckets of water had been poured over his head. All he could do was to keep speculating on what Lisa was thinking. But the more he pondered, the heavier Linley's mood became.
Just as Linley was beginning to feel pressured by his own conjectures, Lisa, in front of him, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"We're already here!" When Linley raised his head, he saw that Lisa was smiling happily, and then he heard Lisa's teasing voice in his ear. "Kid, what are you thinking about?"
The instant Linley came into contact with Lisa's gaze, he felt as though he was standing naked in front of her. All of his hidden secrets were seen by her, and he couldn't help but lower his head and bite his lips, not saying a word.
Lisa looked at Linley, who had his head lowered. She covered her mouth like a cat who had just stolen food, then walked behind Linley, pushing Linley, who had been standing there motionlessly, into her own residence.
Lisa took out some healing equipment, lowering her head as she treated Linley's injured right hand. She asked Linley in a low voice, "Do you have nothing you want to tell me?"
Linley stared dumbly at Lisa, who was healing him. His lips were tightly pursed, and he didn't seem to have any intention of answering Lisa's questions.
Raising her head, she stretched out her hand, pushing her black hair behind her ears. Glancing at the silent Linley, she placed her right leg on her left leg, her ten fingers resting on her right knee, then stared into Linley's eyes with a confident smile. Laughing lightly, she said, "Do you think that if you don't speak, I won't be able to guess anything at all?"
"Let me break that little by little... Weak self-confidence! " Lisa raised her right index finger, gently waving it in front of Linley, then pointing at Linley's right index finger.
"This finger is obviously not your original finger. This is something you cannot deny no matter what. Judging by the color of the finger and the size of the bone, the finger was a woman's finger, and she was about the same age as you. To be able to connect this piece to your right hand, it means that you have encountered a powerful healer, at least in terms of healing. And from the fact that you will still possess this finger even after losing your right index finger, excluding the possibility that it was that expert who gave it to you, it means that this finger was once your most important person … or perhaps it is still the most important person in your heart right now. " Lisa glanced at the stupefied Linley, revealing a smile.
Lisa stood up and poured a cup of water each for Linley and herself. She handed the cup of water to Linley, took a sip, and then said, "Based on the intelligence I have received in the past few years, for a woman to be able to make you value her so much and who is similar in age to yourself, I'm afraid that only that Lin … Lin Xin's little girl. The original owner of this forefinger on your hand should be her, right? "
As soon as he had finished speaking, with a 'bang' sound, the cup of water in Linley's hands fell to the ground, shattering.
Linley stood up, his eyes filled with unconcealable astonishment. He stared in astonishment at Lisa, staring at her as though she were a monster.
Lisa took another sip of water, looking at Linley with a hint of a smile on her face.
A silent atmosphere slowly spread out from Lisa's room. Only when Linley opened his mouth did the silent atmosphere break.
"Did you guess all this yourself?" Linley swallowed a mouthful of water, then slowly sat back down. He stared at Lisa in disbelief, asking her this question.
"What do you think?" Lisa didn't answer directly. Instead, she asked Linley a question.
Linley's eyes were shining, and he quietly glanced at his left hand, which was wrapped in a piece of cloth.
Lisa put down the cup of water in her hands. Glancing at Linley's left hand, she revealed a warm smile. In a leisurely manner, she said, "Then, now that I'm done with my right hand, let's talk about my left hand!"
Linley raised his head. Frightened by Lisa's warm smile, he felt his hair stand on end. He nervously looked at her.
Outside of Coleman City, outside the Magical Beast Forest, in the aristocratic hunting camp.
"Do you think that kid will come?" Andrew Allen asked as he looked at Vincennes, who was standing straight behind him.
"Maybe that kid is too scared to come. Maybe." But before Vincennes could reply, a flattering voice entered Andrew Allen's ears.
"Exactly!"
"The kid must have been scared shitless by Andrew Allen's momentum."
"How dare you challenge the dignity of Andrew Allen, a mere piece of trash who was lucky enough to be returned by Miss Saudi snow?"
...
As the voice began to speak, a series of words came from Andrew Allen's room, trying to curry favor with him and belittle him.
Andrew Allen frowned, ignoring the crowd, and looked steadily at Vincennes, waiting for his reply.
"I will!" Vincennes answered Andrew Allen's question respectfully. "He will come!"
As soon as his voice fell, the crowd heard a series of knocks on the door.
At that moment, all eyes were focused on the door. Andrew Allen nodded at Wen Shen, hinting for him to open the door.
Vinzent understood, and he gently opened the door, revealing Linley's figure behind it.
"I'm here." Linley glanced at Vincente, then shifted his gaze away. Staring past him to Andrew Allen, he replied in a low voice.
Vinzent glanced at Linley, then looked with surprise at Linley's bandaged hands. He then moved away, gesturing for Linley to enter.
Linley glanced at everyone in the residence. He didn't have any intention of moving his feet at all.
Andrew Allen stood up and walked towards the door. Looking at Linley's bandaged hands, he asked, puzzled, "Wasn't your right hand the only one that was injured today?"
"This has nothing to do with you!" Linley replied coldly.
"True." Andrew Allen nodded and waved to the crowd behind him. "Since he's already here, let's go."
"Let's go?" "Where to?" Looking at the heavily armed men behind Andrew Allen, Linley asked with a frown.
"To hunt, of course!" Liliane rolled her eyes at Linley, then tossed a pair of gloves in front of Linley.
Linley accepted the glove, looking at Lillian in confusion.
"You're not used to using swords, are you? I saw your fight with Fire Tiger. It's really exciting. " Peter had one arm around Linley's shoulders, and he smiled as he said to Linley, "Compared to a sword, I think a pair of gloves are more suitable for you." Of course, if you have a better weapon, you can pretend I didn't say anything. "
With a shake of his shoulders, Linley broke free from Peter's grip on his shoulders, carefully inspecting the glove. After confirming that there were no problems, he placed it on his hands.
"You're quite cautious!" Seeing all of Linley's actions, Peter gave Linley a thumbs up in approval.
"Are you ready?" Andrew Allen saw that Linley had put on his gloves. Turning around, with the bright moonlight and the bright starlight, he headed out of the camp, towards the forest of magical beasts.
"Let's go!"
Outside Coleman City, in the outskirts of the Magic Beast Forest.
"Kid, open up a path for us."
"Kid, move that rock that's blocking the way."
"Brat, go catch that snow rabbit."
"Kid, go kill that Wind Wolf for me."
"Brat …"
...
Andrew Allen had been arrogant and despotic throughout the journey. He had made things difficult for Linley, but Linley had taken care of him one by one.
The dissatisfaction in Andrew Allen's heart grew. He suddenly stopped walking, walked up to Linley, and stared into Linley's eyes, asking him word by word, "Kid, we are going to hunt down a magical beast of the third rank — Whirlwind Wolves. Do you dare to bait it out?" If you don't dare, just say it out, I won't force you! "
Looking into Andrew Allen's eyes, Linley took a step back, pulling away from him and revealing a resolute smile. "Why would I not dare?" he asked.
