"So? Why are you here...?" I asked skeptically.
I stared at the crimson-haired beauty in front of me, who was hanging her head and sulking silently. We were currently in the waiting room of the Arena. After we defeated Xuan Kun, we were sent back here. However...while this time was supposed to be for resting, I wasn't the least bit relaxed. The reason for that being none other than the sudden, uninvited guest in front of me right now.
I sighed, seeing how I wasn't going to get a reply out of her. "Well, whatever. I'll look over you not listening to me this time, Mei Gui."
She tilted her head up to look at me in confusion. "...Why?"
I shrugged. "If you didn't jump in there, we probably never would've been able to defeat that monster. So, uh...thank you."
Heya guys! Cyclxne here.
This chapter was mainly about the aftermath of the tournament. The characters talked about in this chapter were all pretty mysterious - Liu Jian, and now the new Midnight Syndicate member, Plague.
So now you guys know that the man from before who told Xuan Kun about the elixir was not the old patriarch of the Xuan family, but in fact just Plague in disguise. This whole plan, was, of course, thought up by Xuan Yang. Pretty tragic, getting used as a tool by his own father like that. And now, Xuan Yang will be using his father as a tool as well. What a dickhead. But hey, every story needs one. So here he is.
There will probably be one more chapter in this volume for the main plot, then probably a side chapter regarding Xuan Kun's past...I'm not really sure yet. We'll see.
Anyway, that's all from me for now!
And as always, I'll see you guys in the next chapter~
