Guild Boss's Ambition

As he spoke, a figure in a skeleton dress slowly floated to our table.

"Ah-ah-ah-what a coincidence!"

She is Miss White Night, a necromancer, a person with a subtle presence.

Sister Meng Er obviously doesn't like her very much...

But Xiaolan was unusually close to her...

I always feel that something adultery must have happened between the three of them that I am not aware of.

……

……

10. Family dispute? (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

"Ah-ah-ah-what a coincidence!"

We all looked at Bai Ye. I was sure that her appearance was 100% not accidental. If she had no intention of seeing us, even if she saw us in the cafeteria, she would have ignored us and hidden in a corner to eat alone. And since she took the initiative to appear in front of us, she probably didn't come to chat or say hello.

She picked up Lian'er without any hesitation, sat in her seat, and then let Lian'er sit on her lap.

If we ignore Bai Ye's identity and occupation, this might as well be a heartwarming scene.

Bai Ye rested his chin on Lian'er's shoulder and said lazily, "Speaking of which, this girl I brought back has an unusual talent. You have been with her for a while, so you should have noticed it, right?"

I asked, "You mean the fact that Lian'er would steal things from other people unconsciously?"

Bai Ye took the black tea I had drunk and took a sip. "In fact, Lian'er's stealing method is very special. According to my test five seconds ago, when Lian'er activated her stealing skill, a slight fluctuation of space elements would be transmitted from her body. If my guess is correct, our stolen items should have been directly transmitted to Lian'er's hands."

At this time, Bai Ye grabbed Lian'er's right hand and showed us what was in her hand.

It was a wizard's dagger, covered with bone carvings, full of pure White Night style.

Bai Ye carefully put the dagger back into the space ring and continued to explain, "Based on preliminary observations, the space magic that Lian'er used was a barrier-like teleportation magic. This magic was not composed of rune arrays or spells, but of purer spiritual thoughts, which is the most barbaric and complex magic formula."

Very good, Bai Ye threw out several professional terms at once, and I didn’t understand them at all.

But Sister Meng'er and Berlani nodded at the same time.

Sister Menger said with emotion: "Although I have heard about such magic in military school, I never thought that they would appear around me one day. However, if I remember correctly, the birth of mind magic should have extremely strict conditions, and it is often only when the spirit and soul enter a special state..."

Sister Meng'er stopped talking abruptly, and her eyes remained on Lian'er with a sigh.

"Damn it." She cursed under her breath.

"Haha, damn it is damn it."

Bai Ye laughed. She turned Lian'er's face and said to us in a half-threatening and half-joking tone: "Our dear Lian'er, do you know? Your former sister Ailan has been hanged on the gallows. From today on, the only place you will live is a stone house. So remember don't be naughty and listen to everyone's words──"

"Bai Ye!" Sister Meng Er shouted in annoyance, "Don't scare the child!"

Bai Ye was not intimidated by the knight's intimidation at all. He smiled and covered his mouth: "What? I just told Lian'er the reality. Miss President, are you a little overprotective of her? Do you really think it is a good thing to let children spend their short childhood innocently and happily? You have supported the stone house for several years. You should understand that society is very heavy, right?"

Sister Menger frowned and said, "In short, Lian'er doesn't need your twisted education."

Bai Ye hugged Lian'er tightly in his arms and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes: "Hey, hey, hey, Lian'er, she is my child legally. I risked my life to rescue her from the clutches of the devil, and arranged for her to wear, eat, and live. I even arranged for her to go to school even though she was several years behind. How can you blame me, a foresighted adoptive mother, like this?"

I reminded her quietly, "But, Lian'er's food, clothing, housing and transportation are all taken care of by our Stone House now──"

Bai Ye turned his head and gave me an exaggerated smile: "But that was all arranged indirectly by me, right?"

I nodded wisely and remained neutral: "Well, you are not wrong to say that."

At this moment, the atmosphere at our table seemed to become a little subtle. Taking into account new and old grudges, Bai Ye and Sister Meng'er both looked as if they wanted to pull out their weapons and kill each other on the spot. It was simply the worst labor-management relationship in history.

However, Bai Ye, who was used to seeking death, did not stop provoking the president's daughter.

Bai Ye said confidently: "So, Miss President, even if I, a single mother, entrust Lian'er to your care because of my busy work, it does not mean that you can take her for yourself. Moreover, the educational policy I adopt is exactly the educational policy that my mother implemented on me. Strictly speaking, this is probably our family tradition──"

Sister Meng Er was speechless for a while: "Can you be more shameless?"

Bai Ye nodded, pointed at the dazed Lian'er and said, "Well, President Ehard, if you really can't find anyone to help you in the Midwinter Arena, you might consider this little one. Give me five days to give her special training. With the help of my and Miss Clown's unique skills, it is not impossible for us to win one or two promotion matches."

"Let a twelve-year-old girl fight in the arena, Bai Ye, do you have any more ridiculous suggestions?"

"Let two twelve-year-old girls be poster girls. Miss President, your position is very solid!"

The two twelve-year-old poster girls were obviously referring to me and Gu Shan.

However, how did Bai Ye know that we were planning to challenge her to fight in the Midwinter Arena?

Is it possible...

My god, how much of our guild's internal decisions can she guess?

I looked at my dear sister Meng'er and silently mourned for her ordinary IQ.

In the verbal confrontation, she was destined to be abused by Bai Ye from beginning to end.

As expected, during the debate, Bai Ye quickly put forward a strong argument: "From the latest figures from the Labor Bureau, guild prostitutes are actually a low- to medium-risk profession. Ten percent of human prostitutes will suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome in ten years, and five percent will suffer from joint strain, paralysis, and pain in different parts of the body..."

"Moreover, according to the survey conducted by the Department of Population Statistics, senior image-holders generally marry late in order to maintain the popularity of the guild, which greatly increases the risk of becoming elderly mothers. Two out of every ten senior image-holders will divorce their partners, which is much higher than the 2% divorce rate of the alliance."

Of course, Miss President didn't have any time to talk.

"Wait! Wait! Not everything in this world can be measured with data. I had no choice but to let Gu Shan and Xiao Lan work. The former had to rely on this job to support her family, and Xiao Lan has always been doing the most leisurely job, which is just rolling around beside Hai Lao every day -"

Although it seemed like I was shot in the face, Sister Meng'er's rebuttal was fully justified.

After a beautiful block, Miss Knight also launched a fierce counterattack: "Compared to the occupational diseases caused by the job of a poster girl, the idea of ​​letting Lian'er fight in the arena is simply crazy. Even if there is field magic in the arena that can avoid fatal blows and permanent disability, if the situation is to the extent of breaking limbs, the officials will not stop the game!"

Tap the table lightly and Miss Knight raises the banner of justice!

"Only a cold-blooded necromancer like you would want to send innocent children to the battlefield!"

But Bai Ye shrugged nonchalantly and said, "A lion will push its cub into the abyss, and if you want to make a child born with a disability become a strong one, you must be even more ruthless to her. There is no shortcut to success in this world. Happy learning is just an argument used by educators to deceive the world. True and effective growth is often pain itself. It is human nature to remember pain!"

At this time, Lian'er, feeling that the atmosphere was wrong, had already slipped out of Bai Ye's arms.

Ugh……

When parents have disagreements or quarrels, it is always the innocent children who get hurt in the end.

I hugged Lian'er gently and comforted her.

She leaned against me lovingly.

hum!

While those two idiots were fighting for custody, little did they know that I had secretly increased Lian'er's favorability!

I won’t give this big, trainable loli to anyone!

Snap Snap──Snap Snap──

However, just when I thought I had gained a decisive advantage and was secretly rejoicing, a crisp beat suddenly sounded on the dining table. Bai Ye, Sister Meng'er and I all looked towards the source of the sound at the same time -

Senior Berlane?!

We were surprised and confused.

The next moment, a second, longer and more complete round of applause sounded nearby. Having stayed in the bar area for a long time earlier, I naturally recognized it as the rhythm of the drinking song at once. However, what I couldn’t believe was that the person clapping was actually our Lian’er!

What did Senior Blanny do to Lian'er in the one hour I put her in Blanny's room? It took me most of the night to successfully let Lian'er let down her guard! Why did Lian'er let Blanny hold her hand in such a short time, and even learned the same song rhythm tacitly?

As we stared in disbelief, Senior Berlani lowered her eyes tenderly and opened her lips slightly -

"Lian'er said that quarreling is wrong."

"This is clearly what she really thinks!"

Upon hearing senior Blanny's shocking remarks, both Meng'er and Bai Ye shut their mouths and behaved as ladies should. I silently glanced at the ladies present and had my final thoughts.

"Being the president's daughter will make you stupid..."

"Being the daughter of a necromancer would be a perversion..."

"Being the daughter of a literary girl will make her into an elegant lady with a thousand manners..."

Then it was a peaceful night with dinner.

……

……

11. A New Day (Xiao Lian)

(Lian Er)

The world seemed to have changed.

From the moment that demon in a long dress of bones appeared, my life changed drastically.

I no longer slept on a hard floor at night, but on a comfortable and soft big bed. The meals they prepared for me every day were hot and delicious, not dry and ordinary steamed buns.

I don't know why they do this for me.

But along the way, I felt as happy as if I had gone to heaven.

It’s like having a very long beautiful dream.

Every day when I wake up, I see Sister Xiaolan. She is like an angel, sharing with me everything I lack and taking care of me in every possible way. However, this makes me feel vaguely uneasy, for I am afraid that after getting it, I will lose this beauty.

Sister Xiaolan always reminds me of Sister Ailan.

According to what the devil said, Sister Ailan should be dead.

I understand the horrible concept of death, the sight of the puppy's motionless body frozen and rotting.

Death is very scary. Everyone is afraid of and in awe of death.

So everyone was afraid and in awe of Sister Ailan.

But I am not afraid.

Because I knew how to please her. As long as I helped her steal lots of things, she would smile no matter how bad her mood was. The nun looked very beautiful when she smiled.

But people don't like me like this.

Because when I stole more than they did, they would be criticized by Sister Irene.

I once deliberately stole a little less, but the nun immediately discovered my little trick and became very angry. Her face looked ferocious, like those drunk homeless people on the street. That time, both I and others were punished, so I never dared to be clever again and just worked hard for the nun.

"Concentrate—"

In the morning, a gentle voice called my attention back.

She was an old lady named Isabella, an elder who was as quiet and comfortable as a sun-warmed tree.

Every morning, I would go to Sister Belanny's bell tower to study.

I learned the most basic words, and Sister Berlane learned other more esoteric things.

"You seem to have had a lot of good things happen to you recently. You even dare to daydream in my class."

“Ah—ah—”

"Okay, okay, I have no idea what you're trying to say. You should learn how to write as soon as possible!"

From the first day I came to the bell tower until now, Teacher Isabella always has a smile on her face, while Sister Blanny always has no expression on her face. They are both very good people, but I can't give them anything in return.

Like Sister Xiaolan, they didn't like the things I stole.

They call it illegal and a prohibited act.

But sometimes, I don’t have to do anything, things just suddenly appear in my hands, and if that is really a prohibited behavior, then things will be very troublesome.

You must try your best to avoid physical contact with other people.

"I can't imagine what would happen if I accidentally stole Isabella's panties."

"Will she be mad about this?"

"Wait, angry Isabella-sensei?"

I finished a morning class in a leisurely and stress-free state of mind. Teacher Isabella always said that I was unstable and not focused enough, and I would be absent from class from time to time. But in fact, I really love to learn. Whether it is the words taught by the teacher or the sign language taught by Sister Xiaolan, I want to learn them well from the bottom of my heart, but...

“Concentration is a difficult state to achieve.”

"It's impossible to sit in one place for five minutes without zoning out."
