The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss

Chapter 591: Cooperation (3)

“You… you are the winner of this year’s Inter-academy Tournament? You are that warlock?” Du Lang’s eyes were glued on Shen Yanxiao as he asked her.

The Inter-academy Tournament enjoyed prestige in the Longxuan Empire. Even students not in those academies would pay attention to that tournament. The next day after the contest had ended, news of a warlock victor had practically spread to every inch of land in the Longxuan Empire.

Du Lang could not accept the fact that he knew that warlock.

“Yes.” Shen Yanxiao nodded.

Du Lang’s expressions were mixed, and so were those on the other six wolves’ faces.

Their look at Shen Yanxiao was a complicated one. The successive shocking news was pretty hard to digest.

Shen Yanxiao waited for Du Lang to air his opinions.

She had hoped that Du Lang and the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group could accept the fact that she was a warlock. It was the only way for them to cooperate. If they could not accept that, then there was no point in furthering the discussion.

She did not need Du Lang and the group to be perfunctory or reluctant. What she wanted was their sincere cooperation.

No one could rely on partners who bore ill will in dangerous places like the Forsaken Land.

It took Du Lang a while to calm down.

“I am surprised, both about your identity and the mission you proposed,” Du Lang said slowly.

“I am more than willing to accept this mission. Whatever your identity is, whatever your profession is, I am grateful for all that you have done for us, and I do cherish you as my friend. However, this is a serious matter, and it does pose a risk in every corner. As the leader of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group, I cannot decide in my sole discretion. I will inform the others about this mission, and they will vote to decide if they are willing to accept it.”

Du Lang sounded sincere. Just like he mentioned, he was the leader with almost a hundred followers. He would climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames for his preferences, but he could not drag his brothers to dangers just because of his inclinations.

“I understand. I will wait for your decision.” Shen Yanxiao smiled. She was happy about Du Lang’s commitment. She was not wrong about him.

Du Lang stood up and nodded to Shen Yanxiao. He gathered the six wolves and went to the backyard. The other members were convened, and Du Lang told them about Shen Yanxiao’s mission.

When they learned that the beautiful girl was the Huo Xiao that they knew, everyone gasped in astonishment.

The information that Du Lang revealed to them next made them lost in deep thoughts.

Shen Yanxiao’s identity as a warlock, and the mission to build a city in the Forsaken Land was placed in front of them.

They would have to decide whether to accept or turn down a mission with a slim chance of survival.

The Forsaken Land was infamous, and mercenaries would rarely set foot there. Most of the members in Cave Wolves Mercenary Group had only heard rumors about it.

It sounded inconceivable that one would want to build a city there.

The mercenaries fell into a silence. They were hesitant to make a choice.

Shen Yanxiao stood at the entrance to the backyard as she looked at them discreetly.

She would take whatever choice they made. After all, while they did share a friendship, it was not one that only death could sever.
