After leaving the team, the adventurers regretted it

Why does Leah look flustered?

With Leah's temper, and her relationship with Linda getting better, she must have a smile that she couldn't suppress, and the corners of her mouth couldn't suppress it at all.

Is there something else going on?

Eco rubbed his chin in thought.

The elf host smiled and said, "Everyone, take a break. There will be a second dance in a while, but there is no need to draw lots. Everyone can find the dance partner they want."

Pairs of fiery eyes looked at Linda.

Linda declined: "I won't join, let's take a break first, I hope you all have fun."

Many single female adventurers were disappointed and had no interest in participating in the dance.

Leah nudged Linda with her arm and said, "Are you going to the bathroom?"

Her real purpose was to find someone to fix the strap on her clothes.

Leah didn't want to be discovered by a third person, so she had to shamelessly ask Linda for help.

She carefully pulled her hands behind her and ran towards the exit of the hall.

When she reached the corridor, she stopped and looked back to see if Linda had caught up with her.

Linda nodded, but did not follow. Instead, she walked towards the stairs to the second floor.

What is he doing?

Could it be that he thought I went to take a shit and didn’t bring any toilet paper, so he went downstairs to get some?

Leah had a strange train of thought and her face changed. She thought: In such a big villa, there is no toilet paper in the bathroom. Is Linda pretending to be rich?

"Liya, what are you looking at?" Eco controlled the magic wheelchair to come over here and stared at her suspiciously.

“No, nothing!”

Leah didn't want her teammates to know that she had made a fool of herself.

She ran to the bathroom and hid there waiting, hoping that when Linda came to "bring paper", she would tell Linda to fix the dress.

If it breaks, not only will Leah be embarrassed, but she will also have to pay for it.

The rent was not much, only a thousand gold coins, but with Leah's current financial situation, she couldn't afford that much money...

Linda seemed to be quite rich - an amazing idea popped into Leah's head, maybe she could borrow Linda's gold coins!

After reaching level 27, Leah urgently needed to replace her orange main weapon. But the problem was obvious: she had no money!

'No, you can borrow from anyone except Linda.'

Leah shook her head vigorously, rejecting this outrageous idea. If Linda refused to lend it, it would be too embarrassing. How could she, a high-ranking old captain, borrow money from a retired member of the team?

The corridor was quiet, and the bustling sounds from the hall were far away.

After calming down, Leah realized: If Linda comes over later, then they will be alone!

Her heart skipped a beat and it felt like ants were crawling on her back.

The situation between the two was undoubtedly awkward, as they were still in the relationship between old team members and enemies.

"No, that's not right!"

On the other hand, it is also a rare opportunity!

There were things that Leah couldn't say in public in the lobby, but if there were no outsiders watching, she might be able to say them...

Leah has gradually understood why Linda quit the team.

If this mistake is divided into ten parts, Linda gets one, Aiko gets two, and the other team members get two...the rest is all hers as the captain.

In the quiet hallway, Leah leaned against the wall to keep her clothes from falling off.

She pursed her pink lips, clutched her right arm tightly with her left hand, and her face was slightly pale.

While drinking alone in the hall, she was thinking back to the past three years. It seemed that since Xueyan's failure on the second level, she had become impatient for success. It was also from then on that Linda started to write thicker and thicker guides, and she was also working slower and slower.

Leah never gave Linda a gift during every holiday, but she received quite a few gifts from Linda.

There was nothing of great value, just some clothes or dolls that she had piled up haphazardly in the closet and covered in dust.

I thought it was something Linda purchased in bulk and didn't take it seriously.

But recently, Leah learned that the gifts for each of them were always different, and each one was carefully selected by Linda.

After Linda left the team, every new reality that she realized was like a swordsman's blow slashing at Leah.

With her mind, she completely lost her composure, as if she was watching her villa collapse, but she could only stand there blankly, unable to think of any solution.

The joints of Leah's palms turned white. At that time, she only wanted to enter the upper echelons, and was blinded by utilitarianism. Why didn't she pay attention to her teammates around her?

The snow goose is a heavy chariot that needs someone to push it from behind to move forward.

And those people were exactly the team members including Linda.

This is something that Leah had not realized before. She arrogantly thought that all the credit for passing the level was on her, and that there would be no problem if other team members were replaced.

Now she understood that these achievements belonged to everyone. Without any one of them, Xueyan would not have been able to get to where she is today.

"Why couldn't I be nicer to him at that time?"

Leah hung her head like a wilted flower.

If she had not knocked over and stepped on the strategy books on Linda's table when she broke into Linda's room that night, or taken out the resume, but had a calm conversation with Linda and understood each other...the situation would not have turned out like this.

Although she couldn't change the outcome, Leah hoped to do something that would make her feel at peace with herself.

She had something to say to Linda.

And it had to be done in private. Leah knew her own character very well. As long as there was an outsider watching her, she would not open her mouth even if she was beaten to death.

Now is a great opportunity.

After waiting for about three minutes, I heard the sound of someone coming up the stairs from the other end of the corridor.

It was Linda who appeared.

Leah was inexplicably nervous and stammered, "Why, why are you here so late? What have you been doing?"

Linda raised the needle and thread in her hand and said, "I borrowed it from Monica. Krona seemed to be having a lot of fun with her."

"Oh...that's good."

Leah encouraged herself in her heart, thinking that she would have to speak up once the clothes were repaired.

She is the 'Flame Swordsman', no difficulty can stop her.

Yes,

Leah was ready to muster up the courage to thank Linda for the three years she had spent on Xueyan, and to... apologize.

...

(ps: continue to ask for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and subscriptions, blah blah)

Chapter 217: Liya drops the little pearl, Linda refuses to return to Xueyan (two in one)

Even if it doesn't make up for anything.

This is just Leah's wishful thinking: Since I did something wrong, I will apologize to you, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well at night when I think about this.

"Turn your back." Linda raised the needle and thread in her hand.

"Oh..."

Leah turned and leaned against the wall.

Linda started working in the back.

It must be said that Leah had very fair skin and was quite thin. Her dress almost exposed most of her back, allowing Linda to clearly see the girl's slender body.

The other world is so amazing.

Linda sighed in his heart, such a small creature can actually wield a heavy sword, and a high-damage one at that. If it were in reality, it probably wouldn't even be able to unscrew a bottle cap.

"Come on, aren't you ready yet?"

Leah looked around anxiously, and after Linda took over, she realized that this posture could easily be misunderstood.

There are voice-controlled magic lights in the corridor. When no one is passing by, the light is dim. If a guest from the lobby comes out and looks over here...

She would vaguely see Linda moving behind her.

You will definitely be misunderstood and think you are doing something shady!

"This is my first time, so my technique is inevitably unfamiliar."

Linda said unhappily from behind.

"Wait, someone seems to be coming!"

Leah turned into a big-eared cat, and could detect any movement around her. She looked towards the entrance of the hall, her muscles tensed, and her voice trembled: "Oh, oh, someone is coming this way!"

"What the hell? What should I do? I'm doomed if we're seen!"

Leah stammered as she subconsciously took out a heavy sword from her space ring, ready to knock out the witness.

"come here."

Linda would not allow Leah to hurt anyone at the party, so he grabbed Leah's wrist and quickly ran into the men's restroom.

There is a cabinet-style partition inside. The hall on the third floor is mainly used to entertain guests, and the bathroom is designed in a public style.

The space inside is narrow, and it would be a bit crowded for two people to squeeze in.

Linda pressed Leah to sit on the toilet, covered her mouth, and listened attentively to the sounds outside:

"Lord Abner is so handsome!"

"Yeah, yeah, I toasted him, but it seems like he only drinks juice."

"Gail is actually not bad, right? Although he has personality issues, he is at least a star rank."

It was the voices of a pair of female adventurers, and the voices disappeared only after they entered the women's restroom next door.

However, Leah's eyes were as big as bells: If we hide here, the situation will only get worse!

Linda noticed what Leah was thinking, slowly loosened her hand, and said, "It's not a big problem. When there's no one outside, you can take the opportunity to slip out."

"What if we're discovered?"

"You can say you were stupid and went to the wrong toilet."

"..."

Leah said speechlessly: "You are the only one who thinks I am stupid. In fact, I am not stupid at all."

Linda did not argue about this matter. He held Leah's neck and said, "Lie down a little. It's not easy to do it."

"...Oh."

Leah hesitated slightly and leaned down to make it easier for Linda to operate from behind.

In this narrow space, on the one hand, Leah was worried about being discovered, but on the other hand, feeling the familiar breath behind her, her heart beat faster and some sweat came out of her clenched fists.

If it were another man, Leah would definitely not follow him into such a place, let alone give him her back. Who knows, he might get horny and do something terrible to her!

But for Linda, Leah was quite relieved. Whether it was fighting monsters or now, she believed that Linda would not harm her, even though her various bad behaviors caused Linda to quit the team.

This kind of trust far exceeds that of Olu and Phyllis. Leah thought, if it were them, and they dared to drag her into the men's restroom, she would have taken out her heavy sword and slapped them away.

After the two adventurers from the women's restroom next door left, the surroundings became completely quiet, so quiet that Leah could only hear her own heartbeat and the sound of Linda mending clothes.

This scene seemed familiar. Leah was in a trance, but she remembered the rustling sound of flipping pages - she was practicing hard while Linda was flipping through books thicker than bricks. In that small rental house, or in Xueyan's villa, the two of them did their own things and basically didn't communicate.

Even if there were, they would be meaningless conversations like "It's time to eat" or "Go pay the mana fee for the house".

The peaceful time when they were doing their own things, when Lin Xi teased her, Liya didn't care or felt annoyed...

But now she realized that without those, her colorful and adventurous life would turn into black and white.

Leia only wanted to keep moving forward, seizing every second to improve her fighting spirit, and never paid attention to the present.

When I came to my senses, those things had disappeared like bubbles.

Leah's fists slowly clenched, and her voice was very soft, as if she was worried about breaking the long-lost silence: "How did it become like this?"
