Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 61 The Century-Old Dilemma: A Choice
"Xixi, you're so good, you'll definitely make it into the top three. If you do, can you choose me as your teammate?"

Chen Ying'er followed Bai Xi out, saying in a sticky, affectionate tone.

"No."

Before Bai Xi could refuse, a somewhat icy voice rang out.

It turned out to be Saint Cher, who had just finished the match.

After she spoke up to refuse on Bai Xi's behalf, she just looked at Bai Xi through the silk gauze without saying a word, yet it seemed as if she was saying a lot.

Bai Xi instantly understood what Sheng Cai'er meant; she was emphasizing it silently.

"Once you make it into the top three, you should choose me."

"Why can't you choose me? You have to choose me."

Chen Ying'er was unhappy. What had she done wrong? She just wanted to spend time with her new friends whom she had hit it off with at first sight.

"You are too weak."

After uttering the word in a cold voice, Sheng Cai'er looked at Bai Xi again, but still remained silent.

Chen Ying'er stomped her feet in anger, but she couldn't refute what the other party said, as it was the truth.

So, she looked at Bai Xi with pitiful eyes.

Bai Xi suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

But she still chose to tell the truth, revealing the fact that she couldn't choose them.

"You can only choose one person from the top three. If you give up the Spirit Furnace, you can choose two people, but those two people were already reserved before coming to the Holy City."

"who is it?"

Sheng Cai'er and Chen Ying'er asked at the same time.

However, Chen Ying'er had more to say, and said angrily:

"Who on earth could have kidnapped you so early?"

"One of them is Li Xin, an older sister I've known since childhood."

"One of them is Lin Xin, a good friend of mine who went through thick and thin with me a few years ago."

"what?"

Chen Ying'er sighed, knowing she couldn't compare to the two of them, and lowered her head in disappointment.

However, Sheng Cai'er, who was assigned to a group with the two and knew them, calmly spoke up to refute them.

"You can't choose them anymore."

"Lin Xin is a magician, you can choose."

"But Sister Li is a knight, and you are a knight too, so you can't choose."

"So, you have one spot left."

"what?"

Now it was Bai Xi's turn to be surprised.

"No, Xixi, don't you know the rules for selecting members for the Demon Hunter Team?"

Chen Ying'er was also surprised by Bai Xi's reaction, and she explained to her with a mix of laughter and tears.

"A demon hunter team consists of six members, and the six members cannot have the same class. You are a knight, so you cannot choose to be a knight."

"My husband forced me into this competition not long before it started. I didn't really know anything about it. I just thought I'd play my way up and win the championship."

Bai Xi hadn't really looked into these things; all she wanted to say at the moment was...

"Is it too late for me to switch factions now? I can still be a priest, or I can be an assassin."

"After switching factions, I should be able to choose Sister Li, right?"

"If you could choose a knight, shouldn't I be the first person you think of? I'm your brother!"

Long Haochen's voice drifted over, filled with resentment.

He had just finished the competition and rushed over only to hear this heartbreaking news.

His sister never even considered choosing him?

"Long Haochen! What are you doing? Don't make things worse!"

Bai Xi's words shattered his resentment.

"You're telling me you can't even make it into the top three? That's really disappointing! You're a man destined to become a Divine Knight, and you don't even have the confidence to get into the top three in such a small competition?" These words made Long Haochen feel ashamed.

That's unacceptable. How could he not even be confident of making it into the top three?

That's right, he's the man destined to become a Divine Knight, and he'll definitely dominate even a small competition.

"But if we're in the top three, we can't be in the same group as you."

Long Haochen was extremely reluctant to part with Bai Xi; he truly did not want to separate from her.

“You are all knights, destined not to be in the same order, and this rule will not be changed because of you.”

Saint Cher emphasized that no one understood the rigidity of these people in the Alliance better than she did.

"It's too early to talk about this now; it's all in ten days or so. We'll see then, and there will be a solution."

Bai Xi resorted to procrastination, deciding to deal with things only when the time came.

Sheng Cai'er was somewhat unhappy, but Bai Xi's words made her accept it.

"Cai'er, don't tell us to choose you! Look, Chenchen and I are sure to be in the top three. If we both choose you, who will you choose to be with?"

A choice between two options is always so devastating.

Saint Cher remained silent.

She really couldn't make a choice.

"Look, you haven't decided who to choose either. Fortunately, there are still more than ten days left, so let's not think too much about it. What if something unexpected happens and we don't even make it into the top three? Then we don't need to choose."

"Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense, there's no surprise."

Long Haochen said, "You are definitely going to be in the top three."

"Who knows? What if Ying'er happens to make it into the top sixteen, and happens to run into us, and happens to summon a very powerful magical beast, and happens to push us out of the top six?"

"Huh? How come there are so many that are exactly right?"

Chen Ying'er, who was suddenly brought up, was a little dizzy from the confusion, but she knew it was unreasonable, and said with a wry smile:

"There aren't that many coincidences. My luck has always been terrible, and the strength of the monsters I summon depends entirely on luck. I can't even get into the top sixteen."

After saying that, Chen Ying'er sighed.

"Trust me, your luck will improve."

Bai Xi cupped Chen Ying'er's soft little face in her hands, her smiling eyes full of confidence.

Long Haochen, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly had a bad feeling.

"No way, could Xi Xi's good luck really affect Chen Ying'er and allow her to summon eighth-tier magical beasts all the way?"

"I don't think so, how could I be that lucky?"

With this thought in mind, Long Haochen felt that he had guessed correctly.

*

Bai Xi and Long Haochen didn't believe there was no way to resolve the issue of the siblings not being able to be in the same demon-hunting team, so they immediately asked Long Xingyu about it after returning home.

I did learn of a solution.

"If you want to be in the same demon hunter group, you can do missions for a few years and then merge the groups after the demon hunter groups level up."

"The most basic level of the demon hunter group can indeed only have six people besides the squire knights, but it's different as the level increases."

"Are squires an exception?"

After Long Xingyu finished explaining, Bai Xi suddenly thought of Han Yu from the previous competition.

"Old Long, that Han Yu is a fifth-tier knight, is he really willing to be Chenchen's squire? Could it be that you're using your power to bully him?"

Bai Xi had this suspicion because Han Yu hadn't appeared for a long time since that day.

"Is that how you see me?"

Long Xingyu glared at Bai Xi, "That was his grandfather's idea, and besides, Han Yu got lucky by being your brother's bodyguard."

“Your brother is the Son of Light. Being his squire knight will only benefit Han Yu, and will not bring any harm.”

"I'd also like to find you a squire, and I think Li Xin is alright. What do you think of her?"
