Chapter 138: Chapter 137: Ling Ke'er vs. Tian Xin’er, Zhang Yue's Choice!
Faced with the sudden arrival of Glory Guild professionals, Tian Xin'er's heart trembled as she thought to herself, "Why are Glory Guild members still here? Did they never leave after last time?"
Just as Tian Xin'er was thinking this...
Su Jinyan suddenly raised her staff and took a step forward, clearly intending to protect Tian Xin'er.
Tian Xin'er snapped out of it and pulled Su Jinyan behind her. "They're after me; this has nothing to do with you. Su Su, run."
"If you leave, we leave together. If you stay, we stay together."
As the two pushed and pulled...
A level-35 Assassin from Glory Guild, [Glory Shadow], suddenly launched a surprise attack.
"Then none of you should think about leaving."
Glory Shadow charged with a dagger, aiming at Su Jinyan.
At that moment, Tian Xin'er, moving far faster than the opponent, struck first.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Wielding twin daggers, she unleashed a flurry of rapid strikes. With the overpowering strength of her rare-tier "Glowing Assassin" class, she instantly killed Glory Shadow.
FLASH!
A white light flared.
The moment Glory Shadow was slain, Tian Xin'er's previously hidden ID was forcibly revealed in red text above her head [Lv36 Second-Class Glowing Assassin: Tian Xin'er]
Tian Xin'er's ID in the Otherworld was exactly her real name.
When Su Jinyan saw Tian Xin'er's ID, she was visibly shocked.
Though she had never met the eldest daughter of the Tian family, she knew her name—Tian Xin'er.
Upon first seeing Tian Xin'er, Su Jinyan had guessed from her appearance and demeanor that she might be a wealthy heiress. But she never imagined that her close friend of three years on Feixin was actually the eldest daughter of Tianjing's number-one family.
However, there was no time for her to dwell on this.
She quickly raised her staff and coordinated with Tian Xin'er to counterattack the enemies.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Su Jinyan cast multiple spells, using the forbidden mage's special abilities to immobilize three charging Glory Guild warriors.
Seizing the opportunity, Tian Xin'er threw a barrage of flying daggers. When they struck the warriors, the explosions created a bright flash, temporarily blinding nearby enemies.
Taking advantage of this, Tian Xin'er grabbed Su Jinyan's hand and turned to run.
However, they had only taken a few steps...
Suddenly, a stunningly beautiful and coldly elegant female mage, flanked by the two vice-leaders of Glory Guild—Glory Sky Vault and Glory River—blocked their path.
"Ling Ke'er?" Tian Xin'er was visibly surprised when she saw the dark-clad mage.
Ling Ke'er crossed her arms and coolly stared at Tian Xin'er, speaking indifferently: "Tian Xin'er, long time no see."
"Why are you here in Linhai?"
"Of course, because you're here." Ling Ke'er said coldly. "I heard you confessed to some poor boy from the remote outskirts of Linhai City and got rejected?"
Hearing Ling Ke'er's mocking tone, Tian Xin'er snapped, "What does that have to do with you?"
Ling Ke'er smirked faintly. "Back in college, you competed with me for first place in everything, but you were never as good as me. Who would've thought that even in the Otherworld, you'd still be such a failure?"
"Hmph, that's only because I couldn't be bothered to compete with you," Tian Xin'er replied. "It's just a gimmick—nothing worth fighting over. If you love being number one so much, you can have it."
"You only need to remember one thing: In Tianjing, your Glory Guild will always be second. The Tian family will always be Tianjing's number-one family."
"You!" Ling Ke'er was fuming. "Hmph! We'll see how long you can keep that smug face."
With that, Ling Ke'er immediately ordered, "Kill Tian Xin'er."
At her command, the Glory Guild members swarmed forward.
Outnumbered, the two were quickly overwhelmed.
At this moment, Ling Ke'er gripped her staff and approached the gravely injured Tian Xin'er, intending to finish her personally.
Realizing the situation was hopeless, Tian Xin'er didn't want Su Jinyan dragged down with her. She said to Ling Ke'er, "The grudge is between you and me. It has nothing to do with my friend. I admit defeat this time. Let my friend go."
Ling Ke'er glanced at Su Jinyan and coldly replied, "Since she's your friend, there's even less reason to let her go."
"You can die together!"
Raising her staff, Ling Ke'er was about to cast a spell when...
ROAR!
Suddenly, a thunderous dragon's roar echoed from above.
Everyone looked up to see a massive, sky-covering dark dragon descending from the sky, landing directly behind Tian Xin'er and Su Jinyan.
Opening its blood-red maw, it let out a deafening roar, forcing Ling Ke'er and the Glory Guild members to retreat in fear.
Seeing the familiar black dragon, Su Jinyan cried out joyfully, "Zhang Yue!"
The next moment, a beastmaster dressed in a dark shadowy cloak, holding a death-scepter staff, slowly emerged from the shadows.
His powerful aura and the ominously glowing black-red ID above his head compelled the surrounding Glory Guild members to back away involuntarily.
Tian Xin'er, Su Jinyan, and even Ling Ke'er all felt a surge of excitement when they saw Zhang Yue.
To Su Jinyan, Zhang Yue was the one who had given her hope and led her out of the abyss toward the light.
To Tian Xin'er, Zhang Yue was her destined love at first sight—the very reason she came to Linhai City.
Even Ling Ke'er, though still cold and aloof, couldn't help but acknowledge his presence.
Crossing her arms, she addressed Zhang Yue: "Have you made up your mind?"
"Be my boyfriend, and you'll have wealth and power beyond measure. Together, we'll become the heirs of Glory Guild."
"What?" Tian Xin'er furiously pointed at Ling Ke'er and yelled, "Ling Ke'er, how dare you try to steal my boyfriend. You shameless vixen."
Su Jinyan was stunned.
'What is going on?'
'The eldest daughters of both the Tian and Glory families like Zhang Yue??'
However, Zhang Yue calmly walked past Tian Xin'er and Su Jinyan, raising his enchanted staff. His icy gaze locked onto Ling Ke'er, Glory Sky Vault, and Glory River.
With a chilling voice, he declared, "You have ten seconds to get out of my sight." [T/N: 🥶]
