In a wooden house in the Silverwind Guard's camp, Vanessa, who had not been seen for two days, was sitting in a corner in a daze. The environment here was considered clean. After all, she was the guard captain's sister. They couldn't really keep her in the cellar. Of course, they wouldn't deprive her of food. There was a silver plate on the ground with some fruits on it, but it didn't seem to have been touched.
Vanessa didn't eat anything, and her mental state wasn't very good. She probably couldn't sleep, and her eyes weren't focused.
"I wonder if I'll be able to see you guys again. Leader, Daniu, and Huailin …" Vanessa murmured softly.
"Are you calling me?" Suddenly, a voice rang in Vanessa's ear. It was so sudden that she jumped a little.
Vanessa turned around and saw Li Huailin standing by the side of the cell. Of course, Phyllis was following behind him.
"Huailin?" Vanessa said in surprise. "Why are you here? Were you captured as well? "
"Shh …" Li Huailin suddenly put his index finger on his lips and whispered, "Keep your voice down. I'm here to save you. It won't be good if we're discovered. It won't be good …"
"…" Vanessa almost rolled her eyes. The camp's commander is standing behind you, and you're telling me not to be discovered? What kind of joke is this?
"What's with that look? I'm really here to save you. I even lost 10,000 EXP and a gold because of that." When Li Huailin first saw Vanessa, it showed that he had completed the quest. In the end, he lost 10,000 EXP and a gold. Fortunately, he had more EXP than Level 20, so he didn't get demoted.
"Did anything happen in the camp?" Vanessa suddenly asked.
"It's fine. Nothing happened for now. There was a slight accident," Li Huailin said.
"What accident?" Vanessa asked anxiously.
"First, you suddenly disappeared. Second, Balian and the others have started recruiting Bandits in the area. It seems like they want someone familiar with the distribution of the surrounding Bandits. They're planning to wipe them all out in one go," Li Huailin said.
"Enlist? This is too fake. No one will fall for it, right? "Vanessa said.
"Hahaha, there really are people who believe it. It's said that a group of bandits called … what's their name again? I can't remember. The whole group of bandits has defected. Gilbert wanted to discuss it with you, but you disappeared." Li Huailin laughed.
"Two days ago, an elf came looking for me. She was sent by my sister. I wanted to tell her that I didn't want to go back, so I asked her to pass the message to my sister. In the end, he said that he could help us overcome this crisis. I believed him, so I followed him here and was placed under house arrest," Vanessa explained.
"Your IQ is no different from the leader of the bandit group …" Li Huailin said.
"After all these years, my big sister has become more cunning. I really didn't expect that," Vanessa said with a smile.
"You are really the sister of the captain of the Silver Wind Guards, right? I say, with such a good background, why didn't you join the army and become a bandit?" Li Huailin asked curiously.
"I am indebted to the leader … This is a little complicated …" Vanessa didn't seem to want to talk about this topic. "Let's not talk about this first. What's your situation now? Why are you with her?"
Vanessa pointed at Phyllis, who was standing behind Li Huailin without saying a word. Of course, she knew Phyllis. She also knew that she was the commander of this camp. She had seen her after she was placed under house arrest.
"Oh … this … This is a little complicated …" Li Huailin didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't say that he had made a mistake that would lead to everlasting regret. He didn't know which half of his brain had gone haywire to touch her. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said in a serious tone, "Vanessa, do you believe in love at first sight?"
"Huh?" Vanessa was stunned. Why did he suddenly ask about this? She looked at Li Huailin's serious face. Is he going to … confess? She thought about it carefully. She didn't seem to hate Li Huailin. However, if she were to say that she liked him … she didn't seem to …
"This … I can't say for sure …" Vanessa thought for a while before replying vaguely.
"No matter what, I believe in it," Li Huailin said firmly.
"I … I say, Huailin …" Seeing that the situation didn't seem right, Vanessa became a little embarrassed. "Isn't it a little inappropriate to say this now …"
"Do you think that I am handsome?" Li Huailin asked again.
"Sigh … this … this …" The situation didn't seem right. Vanessa felt that Li Huailin was going to confess. She thought for a while and said, "You are handsome, but …"
"Look, I also think that I am super handsome. That's why the commander of this camp, the one behind me, fell in love with me at first sight. I simply can't believe it," Li Huailin suddenly said.
"Hey?" The topic changed so quickly that Vanessa didn't catch up. "What did you say?"
"I'm just saying that in order to save you, I resorted to the shameless tactic of seducing you. And it really worked. Look at how much I've contributed to the Bandit group. For the sake of the Bandit group, I've even sold myself. This is simply too touching!" Li Huailin was moved by his own words as he spoke.
"…" Vanessa rolled her eyes. "You're still in the mood to joke at a time like this?"
Vanessa really didn't believe that Li Huailin could really seduce Phyllis. From the looks of the situation, Li Huailin might have used some method to control Phyllis. Otherwise, it would be unbelievable that he could get Phyllis in just two days.
"I'm really not joking. My charm has been so great recently that I can't believe it." Li Huailin waved at Phyllis behind him as he spoke. "Come, Phyllis, baby. Let me hug you."
"Oh …" Although some people were a little embarrassed to look at Phyllis, they still walked up to Li Huailin and let Li Huailin hug her.
"Huh? Smell your body carefully. It's quite fragrant. Huh? Your ears are quite cute too. "Li Huailin began to move Phyllis's pointed ears as he spoke.
"Ah … Yamete … there … no there." In the end, Phyllis had a huge reaction. Li Huailin had only moved her ears, but her entire body trembled and she collapsed into Li Huailin's arms.
"Why are you having such a big reaction?" Li Huailin, who had no idea what was going on, said as he hugged the weak Phyllis.
"Alright, alright. I believe you. Don't do it anymore." Vanessa, who was also an elf, naturally knew that the ears were a sensitive part of the elves. Only the closest people could touch them. Now, Vanessa really believed Li Huailin's words. "I don't know what's going on with you guys, but can you let me out first? The leader is probably panicking now."
"You should have said so earlier. You're wasting my energy," Li Huailin said.
