Sentry: The guide who's getting extra help is very busy today.

Nan Yuan has calmed down. Whether he's figured it out or not, he's at peace now.

"Zhou Miao, refresh the shield."

"Fu Yuan, go."

"Etheris, you've fallen behind."

...

"Ethelris, follow Elizabeth!"

...

"Are you sleepwalking, Etheris?"

.........

After a day of training, Etheris was scolded for a total of two hours.

He was feeling a bit uncomfortable, unable to keep up with Shuzao's pace, and every time they played together, he would make a mistake.

It wasn't that Shu Zao was deliberately making things difficult for him; he himself realized that it was his own problem.

"Shu Zao, I'm so bad." Etheris lay on the ground, doubting herself.

Shu Zao squatted down in front of Etheris and reached out to pat his head: "What does it mean that you and I are matched?"

"I'm lucky."

"Smack." Etheris's head snapped.

"That means we're a perfect match in every way. You're only eighteen, what's the rush?"

She didn't initially intend to scold him, but she couldn't help but hurl a few insults, and found that it had a pretty good effect, so...

Shu Zao missed the point; Etheris remained lying on the ground, looking dejected.

"If you're truly lacking in strength, the family won't support you. You're a Sentinel known as a expendable resource!"

"Many sentinels don't officially enter the White Tower until they are eighteen, but you not only entered early, but also participated in many missions and performed exceptionally well."

Shu was practically ready to grab him by the neck and tell him: Young man, you are exceptionally talented!

"How did Shuzao know?"

"Slap." Etheris's head was buzzing as he received another slap.

"You really think I'm indiscriminate and accept anyone who comes my way?"

"Am I really that amazing in Shu Zao's eyes?"

"No, no, no, it's a natural talent."

Etheris: She investigated me, and then she approved of me!!!

He was visibly happy, and his tone was so sweet and affected that everyone present got goosebumps.

"Good morning~~".

Shu Zao's voice was gentle: "It works again?"

"Mmm-hmm-hmm."

Shu Zao's expression changed instantly. She stood up and looked at Fu Yuan: "Fu Yuan, take Etheris for some individual practice. I'll send you the Star Coins needed for the treatment room via the screen."

How could such negativity exist in her team? Etheris needs to be taught a lesson.

"Shu Zao is right, we really need to practice more." Fu Yuan walked towards Etheris.

Etheris: "!!!!"

"No, Shuzao, I—ah!"

The sound was as agonizing as a pig being pried open.

In the evening, Fu Yuan brought Etheris back and gave her some extra help, practicing until quite late.

After the training session, they even took Etheris to the treatment room.

They got out of the elevator, and Shu Zao stood in the corridor.

"Shuzao, what are you doing in the hallway?" Etheris appeared beside Shuzao in a flash.

"Fuyuan, come find me after you've taken a shower," Shuzao said, turning her gaze to Etheris. "Go to sleep early; your potential is limitless."

Fu Yuan smiled and said, "Mm."

No matter how fast you run, it's useless; if it's not yours, you can't force it to stay.

Don't they have any disputes?

not necessarily.

However, everyone is aware of their own limitations and won't make a big fuss.

Just look at Nan Yuan to see the consequences of making a scene. He ended up flipping the table and ending up in a sorry state.

He told them about it himself, and his intentions were good, but he went too far in the early stages, so they didn't bother with him and just gave him a few perfunctory words to get rid of him.

Etheris clutched his wounded heart and went back to his room. If he had known that Shu would call him early the next morning, he would have been heartbroken.

The days passed relatively peacefully for nearly two months. Shu had gone on several White Tower missions, gaining a lot of practical experience.

A leisurely day.

The timing of Furnel's contact with Shu was very unfortunate; she didn't contact him earlier or later, but only when Shu was lying in bed.

"Hello, who is it?" Shu Zao tried her best to make her voice sound normal.

"It's me, Fernail. I messaged you, but you didn't reply. There's a team quest that would be perfect for us. Do you want to take a look? I'm worried we'll miss out if we're too slow."

"I've already accepted the mission. It requires 3 teams. You should consider it quickly."

"Okay, I'll log in and check now. Bye." Shu Zao quickly hung up the phone.

She angrily grabbed Etheris's ear and bit it, leaving a clear tooth mark on the wolf's ear. Etheris, knowing he was in the wrong, didn't utter a sound and freed his hand to pat Shuzao's back, without stopping what he was doing before.

"Didn't you hear me on the phone? Wasn't that you in this room last night? Can't you even stop for a little while?!"

"Sister, don't be angry, it's my fault, it's my fault."

"Slap." Etheris received a slap on the back.

"Don't move, you're making it hard for me to see the mission."

"Sister, this is also a kind of training."

Shu Zao lowered her eyelids slightly, using a bit of effort.

"Ah! Let go, sister, I was wrong, I won't move anymore, Shuzao, I was really wrong, waaaaah, it's going to break, and your happiness will be gone too."

Shu Zao kicked Etheris away, sat up, and opened the task sent by Fennell.

After copying, she searched for the mission again, and the team showed: 2/3. She quickly browsed the mission details.

Etheris got up from the floor, got into bed, came up behind Shuzao, hugged her, rested her chin on Shuzao's shoulder, and didn't dare to move.

Feeling something was off after being hung up on, Fernail turned on the automatic recording and listened to Shuzao's voice again.

She quickly understood why it was strange.

"You have so much free time during the day."

After reading the message, Shu returned to the interface, accepted the task, and sent a message in the group.

【Shuzao】: @All Sentinels, I've accepted a special guided mission, which is a team mission.

"Shuzao, I see you've finished your work." Can you continue with what you haven't finished?

Shu Zao turned around and hugged Etheris, then pushed him away without any hesitation: "We'll talk about it next time. Hurry up and change your clothes. Let's go to the training room and discuss the mission with them."

"Can't we discuss this at night?"

"I'm going on a mission in two days. If there's nothing else, come to my room tonight."

She was also caught in a dilemma, and wasn't really in the mood right now.

"All right."

"Sweetie, go change your clothes."

Shu Zao looked away.

[Shu Zao]: Funel, I've accepted the quest.

【Fennell】: Okay, watch your back.

【Shuzao】: Hearing something but not saying it.

She opened the group chat again.

[Shu Zao]: Etheris and I went to the training room to find you guys, and we'll discuss something.

Xingyao looked at the message Shu Zao sent and for some reason felt a little sorry for Etheris.

It must be very painful.

It would be better if it were a little more painful.

He also had a hard time sleeping alone at night, even when he was a sentry.

Etheris tried to ignore the gazes of the sentries.

Don't be angry, it'll still be him tonight.

I'm so envious of them.
