Capítulo 396: New Mission

"It's okay, Big Brother Xuan Kai," Qing Yue said with an innocent smile that I haven't seen on her face in a while. "This is a great opportunity that we definitely shouldn't miss. You don't need to be held back by us… oh, but make sure you take me along as part of your team, fufu~"

"After that encouraging speech, really all you wanted was to go with him…" Lin Luo muttered in disdain.

"But jokes aside," Lan Xiao Su interrupted seriously. "Xuan Kai… I agree with Qing Yue. I want to be taken along and stay by your side, but I realize my strength level is the weakest out of everyone here, so that wouldn't be ideal. You should just take four of us here with you while leaving the rest behind for the time being. No hard feelings."

"… You guys sure?" I asked quietly. "This mission could take quite a while, you know."

The girls all smiled warmly at me, though the smile carried a hint of sadness that couldn't be missed.
