Chapter 32: The one who knows you best is your best friend
Haven't reached the second floor yet.
I happened to see Nalan Shu walking down the stairs, followed by Lin Jialu.
"Are you Haochen?!"
The moment he saw Long Haochen, Nalan Shu was also shocked.
But soon his eyes became eager, and he walked quickly to Long Haochen, finding it difficult to suppress his inner emotions.
"Xiao Haochen, did your teacher take action the other day?"
Long Haochen was slightly stunned, but soon nodded proudly.
"It's true, I knew it!"
Nalan Shu took a deep breath, his eyes filled with admiration.
The demons went to great lengths to sneak in, so it's impossible for them to retreat without gaining anything.
Clearly something was frightening them.
After much thought, only Long Xingyu, the Divine Seal Knight, can take action!
According to the intelligence that Nalan Shu obtained later, the demons were planning a big move this time, with five legions sneaking into the alliance.
But he was scared away by Long Xingyu.
Fortunately, Long Xingyu is here, otherwise humans would have suffered heavy losses.
"Xiao Haochen, come with me!"
Nalan Shu took Long Haochen to the second floor.
Ye Tian did not continue to follow.
Lin Jialu at the side suddenly said, "Ye Tian, thank you for saving me from the invisible man of the Earth-Killing Clan."
Ye Tian smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome. We are all fighting for humanity, and we should lend a helping hand when we encounter danger."
However, Lin Jialu shook her head.
"It's just a small favor to you, but it saved my life. It would be ungrateful if I didn't do anything."
"I want to treat you to a meal as a token of my gratitude."
After saying this, the girl looked at him expectantly.
"This"
Ye Tian couldn't help but be stunned.
Just as he was about to say something, a delicate cry suddenly rang out.
"Lin Jialu, what are you doing in the Knights' Hall?"
Accompanied by a faint fragrance, Li Xin had already come to Ye Tian's side, looking at Lin Jialu with vigilance.
She heard the conversation between the two just now.
Lin Jialu actually secretly invited her out behind her back, which obviously had bad intentions.
Thinking of this, Li Xin's eyes suddenly became more unfriendly.
"Nothing, just asking Uncle Nalan something."
Lin Jialu couldn't help feeling a little discouraged when her good thing was suddenly interrupted, but she remained calm on the surface.
The girl turned to look at Ye Tian and added softly, "I happened to meet Brother Ye Tian, so I thought of treating him to a meal to thank him for saving my life."
"Who is your brother? Stop trying to make connections, okay?"
Originally, Li Xin just had some doubts.
But after hearing Lin Jialu's address to Ye Tian, he suddenly became more alert.
"Brother Ye Tian didn't refute it, why are you so excited?"
"you!"
Li Xin suddenly became anxious.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Ye Tian hurriedly stopped them.
"Stop arguing, it's just a meal, I can agree to it."
"Then I'm going too!"
Li Xin hugged Ye Tian's hand.
Lin Jialu just curled her lips in response.
Although there was an extra person, at least the goal was achieved, and she didn't mind Li Xin's interference.
"Let's go then!"
The three of them left the Haoyue Branch Hall together.
As for Long Haochen, there is no need for others to worry too much.
Even if there was no relationship with Long Xingyu, with the talent shown by Long Haochen, Nalan Shu would still be able to make arrangements for him.
Arriving at the largest hotel in Haoyue City, a waiter came to greet us as soon as we entered the door.
"Ms. Xin'er, Miss Jialu, you two are here!"
Lin Jialu nodded, "Please arrange an empty private room for us!"
The waiter looked at Lin Jialu and Li Xin with some surprise.
Although he didn't know why the two ladies suddenly got together, he was tactful enough not to ask any more questions.
"Okay, please follow me, all three!"
Go up the stairs to the second floor box.
In a short while, the table was filled with delicious dishes.
"Brother Ye Tian, I'll toast you a glass. Thank you for saving me."
"If you need anything in the future, you can come to me. I will do my best to accomplish it even if I have to rely on the help of my family!"
Lin Jialu held the juice and spoke sincerely.
Ye Tian also raised the cup with one hand.
"Sister Lin, you are too polite. As members of the Holy Temple Alliance, we should help each other when facing the demons."
"Besides, you are Sister Xin's good friend."
Hearing this, Li Xin on the side curled her lips immediately.
"Huh, who is her best friend?"
Lin Jialu also subconsciously retorted, "Tsk, who would want to be your friend!"
"That's great. After all, I'm already a fourth-level knight, and someone is only a third-level magician!"
This sentence instantly touched Lin Jialu's sore spot.
The girl snorted coldly.
"You talk as if it's all your own hard work!"
"What do you mean?" Li Xin couldn't help feeling guilty.
Seeing Li Xin's reaction, Lin Jialu's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she became more certain of her guess.
"Don't play dumb, I've already asked Uncle Nalan!"
Lin Jialu's eyes were firm. "Your innate inner spiritual power is even lower than mine. Your cultivation speed is definitely not that much faster than mine."
"I learned from Uncle Nalan that before you went to the Holy Mountain of Knights, your cultivation was only on par with mine, but after you came back, you made rapid progress. This is obviously not normal!"
"According to Uncle Nalan's description, after you came back, you asked him to apply to the Knight's Temple for a Squire Knight Rune that was researched from ancient elven texts."
"So I have reason to suspect that your strength is due to this."
"That ancient elven rune must have some special effect that can benefit the squire knight."
"Then everything will make sense!"
"Li Xin, you have become someone's follower, right? And the only one who can make you willingly become a follower is Brother Ye Tian!"
"am I right?"
A series of analyses came out of his mouth.
Ye Tian and Li Xin were speechless.
She was able to infer so much information based on just a few clues, and the key was that she actually guessed it right!
Should we say that Lin Jialu knows Li Xin too well?
"I do not know what you're talking about."
Li Xin came back to her senses and her eyes were slightly evasive.
Lin Jialu snorted again, "I guessed you wouldn't admit it."
"But looking at you now, it proves that I was right. You have indeed become brother Ye Tian's squire knight, and you have become stronger because of it!"
Unable to find a reason to refute, Li Xin simply stopped talking.
Anyway, this is just Lin Jialu's guess and there is no evidence at all.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jialu gritted her teeth and said something that shocked both of them.
"Brother Ye Tian, can I be your squire knight?"
"what?!"
Ye Tian was stunned.
He never expected that Lin Jialu would make such a request.
Although he had thought about it before, it was completely different from asking for it.
Li Xin also widened her eyes in disbelief.
"Lin Jialu, are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy. If you can do it, then I can do it too. The only thing I don't want to lose to is you!"
