Divine Seal: I am a saintess of the human race, but also the heir to the Demon God.

Chapter 61 That fool, do you still remember me?

Long Haochen subconsciously looked up and saw a familiar-looking girl.

The girl had long purple hair, simply tied back, and her face was covered by a black veil, concealing her features.

Her eyes were exposed, and the color of her pupils was mostly grayish-white, as if they lacked any extra emotion.

The strange sound was the sound of her emerald green bamboo staff tapping lightly on the ground.

For a moment, Long Haochen was completely engrossed in watching.

In his memory, the image of Cai'er who left without saying goodbye during his childhood gradually overlapped with that of a frail young girl.

Long Haochen touched the forget-me-not ring on his hand, thinking to himself, "Could it be her?"

Cai'er walked to Sheng Yue's side and noticed Bai Ling standing in front of her. A glimmer of light appeared in her colorless eyes.

"Bai Ling?"

Bai Ling answered calmly, "Cai'er, it's me."

As if she had heard something unbelievable, Cai'er subconsciously reached out to touch the other person's cheek, but hesitated to move because of the Assassin's Temple warrior standing next to her.

It really is Bai Ling. How come she's in Haoyue City?
Seeing this, Bai Ling went over and put her arm around Cai'er's shoulder, naturally straightening her shirt.

The spiritual energy of light flowed from Bai Ling's fingertips, through Cai'er's body, and finally settled in her gray eyes.

"hiss--"

Cai'er gasped, rolled her dry, itchy eyes, and her lips moved slightly. "Bai Ling, it really is you."

Bai Ling gave her a look that seemed to say, "Are you stupid?" and said helplessly, "If it wasn't me, who else could it be?"

"Sir, you are a man of great importance, with countless affairs to attend to and a heart devoted to humanity. Why would you rush to bring me to Bright Moon City for some nobody?"

Cai'er nodded, "You're right."

Sheng Yue: “…”

No, why does he feel like Bai Ling is being sarcastic or mocking?

Saint Moon now has reason to suspect that the cunning Bai Ling may know something, and is displeased with him and the Assassin Temple, so she is indirectly criticizing them.

No!

Before he figured out the truth, he couldn't let Bai Ling, who was full of bad intentions and whose mischievous thoughts were bubbling up, have any more contact with his innocent Cai'er alone...

So, Sheng Yue turned to look at Long Haochen, who was clearly stunned, and said, "You must be Long Haochen. Come here, I have something to say to you."

Coming to his senses, Long Haochen quickly walked to the chivalrous man's side and hesitated before saying, "You wanted to see me..."

As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously glanced a few more times at Cai'er, who was leaning on her cane.

Cai'er paused.

Suddenly, Long Haochen, who was standing next to Sheng Yue, felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart.

Almost instinctively, he turned his gaze to Sheng Yue and dared not steal a glance at Cai'er anymore.

Cai'er's voice was somewhat cold, "Bai Ling, who is he?"

Bai Ling tried to make her voice serious, not gloating, "Cai'er, think carefully, who is he?"

The girl tilted her head in confusion, thinking carefully about the young knight she had met in the Trial Grounds, the Assassin's Temple.

After a long pause, her dull eyes widened, and a glimmer of hope surged within her. "He's your brother? The boy who stood in front of me with the wooden sword back then?"

Bai Ling made a shushing gesture, "Shh, keep your voice down. You don't want the hero to find out that you gave the Forget-Me-Not Ring to my brother, do you?"

To prevent the Assassin's Temple members from discovering the ring on Long Haochen's hand, Bai Ling used a special plant-based coating to conceal the blue light shimmering on the Forget-Me-Not ring. Therefore, when Long Haochen approached Cai'er, even though the ring sensed the aura of its first owner, it couldn't emit a blue light to attract Cai'er's attention.

Cai'er snapped out of her daze. "Bai Ling, why didn't you say so sooner?"

Bai Ling stared at the other person and teased, "How was I supposed to know that you only recognized who I was and ignored Long Haochen?"

Meanwhile, Sheng Yue looked Long Haochen up and down, and after checking that his spirit and energy were normal, she nodded.

"Very good, a promising talent!"

Long Haochen stood tall and straight, his blue eyes looking directly at the Holy Moon before him. "Hero, you flatter me."

Saint Moon put her hands behind her back and said, "Do you see the purple-haired girl standing next to your sister?"

Long Haochen was stunned for a moment, then shifted his gaze to Cai'er. "My lord, I saw it."

Saint Moon frowned slightly. "I know that you and Bai Ling helped her when she was little, taking her home to rest for the night. Therefore, I have a favor to ask..."

Looking at Cai'er's lifeless eyes not far away, Long Haochen felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

After Sheng Yue finished rambling on and on, and not hearing Long Haochen's reply for a while, she said with some doubt, "Boy, are you even listening to what I'm saying?"

"what?"

Long Haochen was startled and quickly looked away from the girl's face.

“My lord, I understand what you mean. If my sister and I are fortunate enough to pass the Demon Hunter Team selection competition, I will definitely choose Cai’er to join us and invite her to become a member of the Demon Hunter Team.”

Saint Moon nodded in satisfaction and patted Long Haochen on the shoulder. "She is a rare and irreplaceable top assassin in our Assassin Temple. It is not an insult to you to have her on your team."

Long Haochen clenched his right fist and gave a knightly salute. "Senior, you flatter me."

Saint Moon said calmly, "It's good that you understand this."

Their conversation came to an end there.

In the distance, Bai Ling, who was still using a water mirror to spy on the old man and the young girl chatting and broadcasting it live to Cai'er, looked at Cai'er, who was acting awkwardly and didn't know what to say, and immediately burst out laughing.

"Bai Ling, stop laughing."

Faced with the teasing gaze of the black-haired girl, Cai'er's lips, hidden beneath her veil, curved into a faint smile.

After a while, Cai'er whispered, "Do you think that fool still remembers me?"

Bai Ling wrapped her arms around the other person, her eyes full of mischievous amusement. "Who knows? It's been years. How could my silly little brother, who's been focused on cultivation, possibly recognize you?"

Cai'er paused.

Yes!

She lost her sense of taste and her ability to speak.

Although it was late at night, Bai Ling helped her resolve the issues of speaking and the strange souls weighing on her mind.

However, Long Haochen didn't know that.

That night, in the cold valley, the fool made her laugh with just his words.

"Bai Ling, I'm ignoring you."

As she spoke, Cai'er slowly clenched her fist, tapped the ground with her bamboo cane, and took a small step forward.

Bai Ling reached out her hand, trying to stop him. "No, I know I was wrong. On behalf of Long Haochen, I'd like to give you a gift, okay?"

Cai'er stopped walking, but still angrily turned her head away, "A gift?"
