Could it be that I’m unable to get used to the group, to the extent of feeling incompatible with them, and thus I developed this feeling? Su Luo was thinking that way.
Other things aside, Su Luo had to admit that Chu Yang was indeed a good teammate. He had a strong attacking power, while Su Luo was fast. Most of the time, his attack would leave the patrolmen severely wounded. Su Luo would then follow up a flurry of slashes with her Chenying Sword, slashing the heads of the patrolmen in batches.
Very soon, circular batches of the patrolmen fell down in succession around Su Luo and Chu Yang. The two of them advanced step by step.
Furthermore, in order to give the Little Fox Sable a chance to practice, Su Luo took it out and let it move freely, but instructed her not to leave more than ten metres apart from her.
Having inherited the speed of the Little Fox and the natural sense of direction of the Little Purple Sable, the Little Fox Sable was able to calculate where there were the fewest patrollers and where it was best suited to attack.
Despite the slow speed of their advancement, this battle gave Su Luo an unprecedented feeling of actual combat. In the past, she won her fights most of the time either by skill or luck, and rarely due to her own strength.
That was different this time around. Su Luo rarely used skills to take shortcuts, and followed Chu Yang, moving forward little by little. However, due to her suspicions, Su Luo would still subconsciously focus on the other team.
In the beginning, the three other members were fighting separately, but soon, they became united. Su Luo clearly noticed how the three of them guarded each other, giving their backs to each other with confidence. This isn’t right. Su Luo secretly shook her head in her heart.
Taking herself as an example, she only dared to give her back to Nangong and the others. That was not the case for Chu Yang whom she had just met. Her trust in him was not enough for her to do so.
Furthermore, due the super tacit understanding of the three of them and their strong teamwork, the combat power of the trio had doubled as compared to before. This level of tacit understanding could not be reached on the first day after getting to know each other, and must be practiced for a long time…
Su Luo's eyes flickered while a guess silently formed in her heart. If this is the case…The boy who helped her choose the task before is suspicious.
What Su Luo didn't know was that the boy's position had now been replaced by an old man.
The old man looked at the young boy, and said lightly: “Nothing went wrong at work, right?"
A cunning glint flashed across the teenager's eyes, though his face did not move: "Grandpa, isn’t it just issuing missions? The optical tablet has all the records. I’m just following the steps, so what can go wrong? Is your grandson so useless in your eyes?"
â??â??
The grandfather glanced suspiciously at his grandson.
Usually, when he wanted to ask his grandson to work in the mission hall, the latter would run away faster than a rabbit. All day long, he prefered to be near that Fairy Wuyou like molasses, and could not be called to work. However, this time around he had actually taken the initiative to help at work. Therefore, how would one not think deeper into it?
"Okay, Grandpa, I have been working for you for a short while, how could something happen? Are you all right?"
The grandfather thought about it. That's right, nothing could go wrong. However, there was a faint bad feeling nagging in his heart, which subconsciously left him uneasy.
"All right, grandpa, I'm going out." The young man waved his hand to his grandpa, ran out of the Mission Hall excitedly, and swiftly headed towards the Pavilion of Fairy Wuyou.
He had done a very interesting thing just now. If Fairy Wuyou knew about it, she would definitely praise me!
The smile hanging on the corner of the boy's mouth was radiant and filled with satisfaction.
