Actually, not just Tianlan, everyone in the Adventure Group had arrived, and behind Tianlan were Atira and the tall Lion Paladin, then 'Lady Papamo', Xiangzi and Luo Yu, alongside Elisa, Gita, and even the Forest and Delice.
Except for Bakins and Xiesta.
And he imdiately felt an even softer gaze.
Fang Hong instinctively looked in that direction, only to see Miss Ship's Officer gracefully standing among the crowd, quietly watching him. There seed to be an unsaid aning in her expression, and she gave a gentle smile, raising one finger to lightly touch her lips—
Fang Hong's face suddenly flushed.
That slightly cool and soft touch.
And in mory, it still carried a hint of that day's sweet taste.
But as Tianlan saw him stop, she looked back at Hilveld, suddenly realizing: "Oh my, oh my," she shouted irresistibly: "I told you, Brother Ade would definitely look at Miss Hilveld first when he returns," she reached out her fair little hand to the others: "Pay up, pay up."
The warmth that had just risen in Fang Hong's heart imdiately dissipated.
He looked at them in exasperation, what do they take him for?
And both 'Lady Papamo' and Xiangzi handed over their money dejectedly.
Following was the Big Cat People, who laughed heartily, reversed and tapped Tianlan's little hand with his furry paw, though it was unclear how much he paid, "A little gambling is a pleasure, Ade," he looked at Fang Hong, smiling, "In the goddess's teachings, there is encouragent for her followers to be courageous and diligent—"
Fang Hong was a bit disgruntled: "Courageous and diligent in gambling?"
"Careful and bold, strike decisively," Reed stroked the mane on his chin: "Don't be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat, combat is precisely about battling between life and death——there's a common truth in this, Ade."
Fang Hong didn't buy his nonsense and only widened his eyes, seeing Gita with a shy red face, taking money from her little purse to give to Tianlan. "Gita, why are you..." Fang Hong was shocked, suddenly feeling sothing might be wrong with the team during his absence.
Gita didn't dare look at him and muttered with her head down: "Brother Ade, it was Tianlan's idea."
"That's not true," Tianlan imdiately shifted the bla, "Gita volunteered!"
She hadn't finished speaking before Miss Natural Historian stomped on her foot.
But she persisted with a stubborn mouth: "Everyone had a share, equal benefits, it wasn't my fault!"
Fang Hong was a bit speechless, so he looked towards the only one who didn't participate, Luo Yu, feeling comforted: "Luo Yu, you're the most steady."
But Luo Yu was a bit embarrassed, honestly explaining: "...Captain, Tianlan and I were the house."
Fang Hong: "..."
And Sophie, watching these amusing people at the side, couldn't help but softly chuckle——this adventure group always made her think of her own little team full of 'talents'. But as she thought of this, she suddenly realized sothing, instinctively glancing to the side.
Sure enough, she saw Xi was looking dazedly in Fang Hong's direction, her face showing so distant expression. Sophie was slightly startled, couldn't help but ask: "Xi?"
Xi snapped out of it, turning back to her, but still had so absent-minded expression. Sophie looked at her and asked: "Are you alright?" The latter only shook her head gently. But Sophie clearly understood what she was contemplating, couldn't help but sigh.
She would go to the Second World soday, and the team they initially belonged to must inevitably split——the harmony she had cautiously maintained within the team, in the end, beca a concern. The bonds and ties between people in the past team could vanish overnight.
She was the Princess of Silver Weslan.
But how many people truly understood that with this title ca the sa responsibility, a career path she couldn't choose. So much so that, by then, whether Xi could go with her was also uncertain...
When she considered this, she only silently looked at Fang Hong's group, but this ti she couldn't smile anymore, her eyes only carried a faint envy.
This little team naturally didn't have the backing of the Grand Guild, going to the Second World might not be so easy——even, it would be a thorny path. But sotis, a small team has its own warmth.
If you can always be with the ones you love, creating their story in this world, what else matters?
She suddenly understood the choice made by them for this.
Just as Sophie quietly looked at Fang Hong, she couldn't help but think——when the day truly cos that the opportunity to go to the Second World appears before you, Ade, what choice will you make?
"I'm back," at this mont, Fang Hong stood before Atira, allowing the Elf Miss to check him thoroughly. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "I'm really fine, Miss Atira."
"Indeed, you're fine, Starlight isn't missing either," Atira replied: "But everyone was very worried about you."
"I understand," Fang Hong scratched his head, he couldn't do anything about it, the opponent was Odin, determined to catch him, what could he do? He probably could only brag about this experience on a community forum.
'You might not believe it, the King of Warriors himself tried to catch !'
