Chapter 258 Blythe Valenstaine

Leaving the dungeon with their level masked back down to their level 50 state, Shiro saw Chen Yu waiting outside.

"Why are you here?" Shiro raised an eyebrow.

"The branch master told me to follow you to the elven continent to assist you." He sighed. His face looked like a person that had just been told that they’ll die.

"Seriously? You don’t have to." Shiro frowned slightly.

"I have to because the disciple that we have in the elven continent is rather... strange. It’ll be dangerous having her around." Chen Yu replied with a shrug.

"Shiro, who’s this?" Lyrica asked.

"This is Lil Chen. Aka Chen Yu. He’s the middle man between me and that merchant." Shiro explained.

*cough!

Chen Yu choked on his saliva as he realised that Shiro had regarded the branch master as a merchant at best.

’I’m sorry branch master, seems like your efforts might be in vain.’ Chen Yu thought with pity in his heart.

"Hi, I’m Lyrica. Nice to meet you." Lyrica smiled.

"Chen Yu."

As he greeted the party members one by one, he memorised their levels and classes.

’They just exited out of a level 70 dungeon. Surely, their levels would be above 50 already. Must be a disguise item. But doesn’t she know that it wouldn’t work in the elven continent?’ He thought to himself.

He had also removed his disguise since he knew that he’d be found out.

[Chen Yu LVL 57 Phantom Blade]

"Phantom Blade huh? Sounds like an assassin class." Shiro smiled.

"That’s because it is an assassin class." Chen Yu rolled his eyes.

"Heh~ Then why don’t you just follow us? We’re lacking an assassin." Shiro offered.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I don’t want to join you? I’m only doing this because branch master ordered me to." Chen Yu retorted.

"Eh? Even after all the things we went through together?" Shiro grinned.

"Correction, after all the things that YOU put me through, joining you will be the last thing on my mind." Chen Yu sighed.

"Fine fine. Let’s go now." Shiro laughed.

Meanwhile, Lyrica watched with a pout and instantly put Chen Yu on her danger list.

"Say Lyrica, Shiro’s being quite close with that Chen Yu guy isn’t she? She even calls him Lil Chen." Madison whispered over.

". . . Say, it’ll be fine as long as he dies of natural causes, right? Or perhaps if he were to somehow disappear in the elven continent?" Lyrica asked with a ’smile’.

"Lyrica don’t think about it. Shiro still needs him to talk to the merchant." Madison replied.

"Tch."

Ignoring the fact that Lyrica was plotting his death, Chen Yu followed the group from the back.

"So you’ve been put through a few situations as well huh?" Silvia smiled apologetically.

"You too?"

"Yeah. It’s been a while and I still can’t get used to it sometimes." Silvia sighed.

"I get ya." Chen Yu nodded.

"So what kind of situation were you forced into?"

"Well my boss is basically using me as a sacrifice despite it being my holiday and Shiro is actively going against my boss which may result in me losing something cherished by most men. You?" Chen Yu smiled depressingly.

"I was forced to bite the neck of a rabbit, witness Shiro break her arm just for a test along with her other shenanigans." Silvia replied.

""Ha...."" They both sighed tiredly.

Glancing back, Shiro chuckled slightly when she saw Chen Yu and Silvia discussing about their troubles.

’Well their situations are rather similar.’ She mused.

As they approached the faction building, Shiro noticed that there was a lack of staff and some disciples were waiting anxiously at the gates.

"Elder!" One of the inner disciples called out.

"Mn? What’s happening?" Shiro asked curiously.

"The other elders told me to guide you to the main hall since we’ve got VIP’s. They also wanted everyone in the party to go as well." The inner disciple replied.

"Alright. But why are you so nervous?" She asked.

"Because a fight might be breaking out soon!"
