Chapter 175: First encounter
When I came out of the office, I found that Su Chen was there with Hua Rong.
Once they saw me come out, they reacted in different ways.
Su Chen revealed a smile and came over to my side when he saw me.
Hua Rong…knitted her brows as she looked at me.
It was clear that she still didn't like me, but at least she wasn't planning on doing anything.
It was also a good thing that I didn't have to stay here for long.
Su Chen had already been informed about the Long Shui Ling matter, as well as being told where she was waiting for us. So he would be the one that would lead me there since he was my handler.
As we were leaving, Hua Rong still looked at me with that same look, but I chose to ignore it.
While walking through the halls of Elementia's headquarters, I couldn't help being surprised by what I saw.
This place was much more advanced than I had thought.
The halls themselves were already much more advanced than any other place that I've seen before.
The lights, the walls, the floors, they were all made from special materials that came from the dungeon. As for how I knew that…it was because of the descriptions that popped up when I looked around, telling me all about these things around me.
These were all materials that came from dungeons and they were not weak.
These ores that were used were all ores that could be considered legendary, showing just how amazing Elementia was.
Su Chen was surprised seeing me looking around as we walked through these halls.
He would understand if there was something to be impressed by, but these were just simple halls that didn't have anything special about them.
But still, he just left me be.
This place was also very big since it took us around ten minutes to even reach our destination.
It felt like we had been walking for a kilometer already with how far we had come.
If I was a normal person, I definitely wouldn't have been able to keep up without having to catch my breath.
When we arrived, I could hear two voices coming from inside the room.
And both of them were voices that I recognized.
The moment that I heard them, a dark look appeared on my face.
That was because the owner of these two voices were the last ones that I wanted to meet.
As I walked in, I confirmed that it was indeed who I thought these voices belonged to.
Inside of the room, Bing Xue and Long Shui Ling were currently talking to each other.
It didn't seem like they were talking about anything important based on what they were saying, but just the fact that they were talking to each other made me uneasy. After all, it only took a single slip of the tongue for this to turn ugly…
So I walked over and cut in between their conversation.
When they saw me, both of their eyes lit up and they revealed smiles.
So far, it didn't seem like the situation had degraded just yet…
After I arrived, the first thing that I did was ask Bing Xue, "What are you doing here?"
Bing Xue said with a smile, "I heard big sister mention that we had a special recruit coming today, so I came over to see her."
She turned to Long Shui Ling and then came in close to take her in her arms before saying, "I never thought that it would be such a cute little sister."
The expression on my face became uglier when I saw this.
Long Shui Ling poked her head out from Bing Xue's embrace and said with a smile, "I also never expected to find a friendly big sister as well."
As far as I could tell, it seemed like they were getting along…
But since Bing Lan had heard the rumours, Bing Xue should have also heard these rumours.
Otherwise, why would she have come here to find Long Shui Ling?
So I didn't dare let my guard down.
After they talked about a few more things that didn't seem to have any importance, Bing Xue suddenly raised her hand and looked at her watch. When she saw what time it was, she suddenly said, "I still have something else to do, so I'll be heading off first."
I couldn't help being surprised when I heard this, but I still said, "Alright, let's talk later."
Bing Xue gave a happy nod since she knew that this was now possible since he had passed the Irregular License Exam.
In fact, the reason why she had come in the first place was all because she had heard that he had passed the exam.
Seeing Long Shui Ling was nothing more than an excuse.
Only when Bing Xue left did I let out a secret sigh of relief.
I had thought that things would be much worse, but it didn't seem like Bing Xue knew…
The clock was ticking down now that Long Shui Ling was here…I needed to take care of things before it was too late and everything was exposed.
But thinking of this, I couldn't help turning back to Long Shui Ling and asking, "What are you doing here?"
Long Shui Ling just said with a smile, "I'm the new member, I just joined today."
I put my hand on my face before saying, "I know that. I mean why did you choose to join Elementia all of a sudden."
Long Shui Ling just said with the same smile, "It's one of the biggest guilds, so why wouldn't I join?"
I just looked at her with a wry smile as I knew what she was doing…
I knew that it was impossible to get anything out of her, so I didn't bother asking any more questions.
I just had no idea what was going on in that little head of hers.
At the very least, it seemed like she was keeping the relationship between us a secret.
That was the one relief here.
