"What?"
In a small cafe called 'Leisure Monts', Lin Yi stared in shock at Guo Shaojie in front of him, frowning and saying:
"Why didn't you tell about this earlier?"
Glancing at Shangguan Yue sitting opposite, Lin Yi deliberately lowered his voice and said:
"You're really putting the cart before the horse here."
Just as Guo Shaojie was about to explain, Shangguan Yue suddenly spoke up:
"Don't bla him, it was my idea."
"If it's too much trouble, forget it."
"I just ca today to see what Feng Hua looks like in real life."
"Now that I've seen you, you're definitely more handso than online."
Maybe she sensed sothing too; even she found the whole thing sudden and unbelievable.
Not to ntion Lin Yi.
If it weren't for Guo Shaojie's constant assurances and encouragent, Shangguan Yue wouldn't have been here full of anticipation.
Although Shangguan Yue's personality had changed a lot over the past year, one thing hadn't changed.
She was still very afraid of rejection.
So her eyes dimd, and she started to leave voluntarily before Lin Yi could outright reject her:
"I just rembered sothing, I'll leave first."
"You guys talk."
Seeing this, Guo Shaojie quickly reached out to stop her:
"Don't."
Watching Shangguan Yue about to leave, Guo Shaojie could only cast a pleading look at Lin Yi, hoping that Lin Yi would agree to his request.
Guo Shaojie also felt that he was being too presumptuous.
But he couldn't help it.
He couldn't just stand by and watch his long-ti friend live in lancholy day after day.
Even if everyone thought she was very happy, carefree every day.
But as soone who grew up playing with her, he could still see the sadness beneath her façade.
And to make her happy, this thod was definitely the best choice.
Guo Shaojie looked hopeful and said:
"Just this once, Boss Feng!"
Seeing this, Shangguan Yue quickly said to Guo Shaojie:
"Don't be like this."
"So things can't be forced."
"But thank you anyway, co find to hang out when you have ti."
"You too, Brother Feng. You're welco to join us soti; it's on ."
Saying this, Shangguan Yue had already stood up to leave,
Seeing this, Lin Yi had no choice but to glare at Guo Shaojie:
"We'll settle this later."
Then turned to Shangguan Yue and said:
"Wait."
"There are many rules to join our Creation rcenary Corps. You better think it through."
Shangguan Yue, already stepping out, paused and asked:
"What do you an?"
And on the side, Guo Shaojie was overjoyed and said:
"Aren't you silly, Boss Feng is agreeing to let you join us."
Saying this, he attempted to hug Lin Yi:
"Boss Feng, you're the best. I love you."
But was swatted back by Lin Yi who said:
"Get out of here."
"This is the first and last ti I tell you."
Being pushed back, Guo Shaojie said with a cheeky smile:
"It'll absolutely be the last ti, I promise!"
It was only at this point that Shangguan Yue realized, and her face suddenly lit up with joy as she said:
"Can I really?"
Lin Yi smiled and said:
"Wouldn't you?"
In truth, the reason Lin Yi agreed was partly because of Guo Shaojie's recomndation.
Guo Shaojie had done a lot of thankless work for the rcenary corps over the past year, and basically, most of the group's inco was thanks to his efforts.
And even then, he never asked Lin Yi for anything.
Even if Lin Yi offered, he would decline.
This was the first ti Guo Shaojie had ever asked Lin Yi for help.
Also, his tone was almost 'begging', which Lin Yi saw for the first ti from this rich kid.
If Guo Shaojie's request was only one aspect, then Shangguan Yue herself was the second.
If this Shangguan Yue was still as she was when Lin Yi first t her.
Not even Zhang Xinying could convince Lin Yi to agree to soone like that in his team, let alone Guo Shaojie.
But for so reason, this woman seed to have matured overnight.
In the recent encounters, she had left a good impression on Lin Yi.
Of course.
There was also the ti when she gave an Imprisonnt Scroll as a favor when raiding the Giant Dragon's Nest, which Lin Yi hadn't thought of how to return.
Perhaps detecting Lin Yi's implication, the excited Shangguan Yue imdiately bowed deeply to Lin Yi and said:
"I would love to, thank you, Boss Feng."
However, due to her overly exuberant movent, a bit of her ample bosom was exposed, pale white...
"Cough, cough, cough~"
Lin Yi and Guo Shaojie instinctively glanced at each other, and both pretended to look elsewhere, Lin Yi quickly said:
"There's no need for such formality in our rcenary corps."
And Shangguan Yue seed to realize the issue and quickly straightened up, her face turning redder:
"Sorry, I got too excited."
Lin Yi picked up the coffee beside him, took a big gulp, and then said:
"Did you bring all your clothes and stuff?"
"If you're joining my rcenary Corps, we do need to live together."
But as soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, he saw the big red suitcase beside him and imdiately choked:
"Pfft~"
"You guys are really well-prepared."
Speaking of which, Lin Yi glanced towards Guo Shaojie and teased:
"Did you also book a gaming pod by any chance?"
Guo Shaojie was stunned:
"How did you know?"
Lin Yi's forehead went dark:
"Forget it."
Then he stood up:
"Let's head back."
"Just in ti while everyone is around, let's organize a simple welco ceremony for, uh... Miss Yue this evening."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yue suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and said:
"There's no need for that, is there?"
At this ti, Guo Shaojie had already picked up Shangguan Yue's luggage and said:
"No need to be embarrassed."
"Even if you weren't here, we usually get together for a al anyway."
"Let's go."
...
Outside the villa courtyard, hearing the sounds of frolicking from inside, Shangguan Yue seed a bit timid and said:
"Maybe I should co back another day?"
However, Lin Yi didn't give her a chance and walked to the front door and said:
"Everyone, quiet down."
"Feng Leader?"
Everyone stopped talking and looked at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi smiled and said:
"I'd like to introduce our rcenary Corps' new mber."
With these words, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly beca a bit tense.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and Ouyang Hao said:
"So sudden?"
To know, before this, no one ever ntioned adding new mbers to the rcenary Corps.
Then everyone beca curious:
"Who is it?"
Lin Yi waved towards Shangguan Yue:
"Co over and et everyone."
And at this mont, Shangguan Yue finally gathered the courage.
Everyone was stunned by Shangguan Yue's beautiful appearance, no less impressive than Dongfang Jing.
Wang Zixin couldn't help but blurt out:
"This sister is so beautiful!"
Next, Shangguan Yue introduced herself:
"Hello everyone, my na is Shangguan Yue, and my ga na is Mingn Yue'Er."
When she finished speaking, Ouyang Hao was startled:
"Mingn Yue'Er? This na sounds familiar, like I've heard it sowhere before."
Zhan Tianpeng reminded him:
"Second place in the Hundred Races finals."
Ouyang Hao suddenly realized:
"Oh my, it's her!"
No wonder Ouyang Hao was shocked.
Even Zhan Tianpeng looked incredulously at Lin Yi.
This was really going the extra mile for Feng's wife's upcoming competition, even finding her.
Just like that, without any prior preparation, the Creation rcenary Corps welcod their 13th mber, also the 5th female mber, and the 2nd Priest profession.
The addition of Shangguan Yue greatly enhanced the team's healing capability.
Moreover, it was only then that everyone found out Shangguan Yue had obtained a Rare Profession in the ga, nad: Spiritual Saint Shepherd.
This hidden profession is: a trinity of support, control, and attack, excelling in none but balanced in all.
Speaking of which, Lin Yi's team really was missing a control-type profession.
Although Wang Zixin also had control abilities, most of the ti Lin Yi wouldn't let her act.
Because now Wang Zixin's Eye of Destiny, after more than a year of continuous Life Power supplentation from Lin Yi, was nearly complete.
During this period, if he could prevent her from acting, Lin Yi wouldn't let her, fearing it would disrupt the balance of elents within her Eye of Destiny.
With Shangguan Yue's addition, this shortcoming was finally addressed.
At first, Shangguan Yue felt a bit out of place here and was startled by Aifula, Jade Qilin, and Isabelle.
But she quickly adapted, though she couldn't help but be amazed inside.
Soon after, the evening barbecue successfully allowed her to bond with everyone.
Until the late-night snacks were over, Lin Yi rembered an important issue and said to Guo Shaojie:
"It seems we have no rooms left, where do you plan for her to sleep?"
Guo Shaojie was stunned by these words:
"Oh no."
"I forgot about that."
"Maybe I can squeeze in with Ouyang Hao and let her have my room?"
At this point, Zhang Xinying ca over and said:
"She can sleep with , my room is big enough for two people."
