Chereads / Squid's Harem / Chapter 22 - Accepted

Chapter 22 - Accepted

Mao Roulan looked at Ye Xin and then looked back at Kang Huang, although she was ready to take risks with Gai Luo and his sand eater, letting a wild beast tamer enter her group was too much of a risk.

After all, she wanted to get the number one spot this time in the sect entrance exam. If a nonroyalty like her managed to do it then it would elevate her family's status to a high level.

They might even get a spot in the capital.

She didn't wanna take Ye Xin, however, Kang Huang was telling her to do so. After thinking for some time she gritted her teeth and then looked at Kang Huang with a determined expression.

"Ok, I am going to trust you with this one, hope you don't disappoint me." She said with an uneasy tone.

Kang Huang looked at her composure and let out a chuckle. But he didn't reply to her world and preferred to stay silent.

Seeing him standing there silently, Mao Roulan sighed again and started moving through the crowd, towards Ye Xin and Gai Luo.

When the crowd saw where she was going, they all gave her way, and many of those she passed sighed in disappointment as they were expecting that she was coming towards them.

Finally, she reached in front of Ye Xin and Gai Luo and the two also gave her the way, not knowing the fact that she wanted to recruit them.

Gritting her teeth she first looked at Gai Luo, "You can join my team if you want." She said in an unsatisfied tone.

Gai Luo on the other hand couldn't believe his ears for a moment and looked back to make sure that there was no one else behind him that she was talking to.

"Are you talking to me?" He finally looked back at her and pointed his finger towards his face.

Mao Roulan looked at his dumb expression and sighed. "Yes, I am talking to you, wanna join my team?" She asked again.

It was only now that it dawned on Gai Luo and a big smile formed on his face, he didn't expect that he would be selected to be in her team out of all the people present here.

The other people around him looked at Gai Luo and his Sand Eater and then jealous expressions appeared on their faces.

Some even started to internally curse both Gai Luo and Mao Roulan.

Gai Luo quickly broke out of his stupor and nodded. "I can join your team but you will also have to accept Ye Xin if you want me. I won't be with you without him." Gai Luo stated clearly.

He was not ready to part with Ye Xin, he knew that only Ye Xin was the one that he could trust, his father had instilled this in him before they left the village.

When the other people heard his words expressions of disdain appeared on their faces.

"This pathetic guy, how dare he order around Miss Roulan? It was already a miracle that he was selected to be in her team, but to demand even more isn't that outrageous?!"

"Yes, this guy is too over his head, I think he has gotten too prideful by the fact that Miss Roulan offered him a spot and now he has started to spot nonsense."

Many of the people in the crowd started to talk about Gai Luo, with condescending words, they thought of him to be an arrogant prick, even when Mao Roulan offered him a spot in her team, he even dared to ask more.

The saying was correct, if you show a lion a bone, he would also eat your hand.

Many people despised Gai Luo's guts and almost all of them expected Miss Roulan to deny him and select someone else.

However the next few words from her dumbfounded everyone in the crowd, some even had their jaws open wide for a few seconds.

"Ok sure, come with me then." Mao Roulan said nonchalantly as she glanced back at Ye Xin and his squid.

Even Ye Xin didn't expect this, he expected Mao Roulan to deny Gai Luo, just like Wan Peng, he never thought that she would accept him so easily in her team.

A frown appeared on his face at this thought, he guessed why Mao Roulan and Wan Peng selected Gai Luo to be in their teams, it was because Gai Luo's Sand Eater emitted a lot of murderous aura from it.

It was because his Sand Eater had killed so many beasts in the last month, and each of those beasts had been significantly stronger than the last one. There were even some life-and-death situations that they faced.

And all of this had developed a dense aura of blood around Gai Luo's Sand Eater. And although Ye Xin had also killed many beasts in the past month, even more than Gai Luo, his Squid was different.

He knew that Hong Hai was different from other beasts, and it preferred to travel in extreme silence, Hong Hai also preferred to stay low-key. That was the reason why it never let its aura leak out even a bit.

That was the reason why Wan Peng refused to let him enter his team, even though he was loosing Gai Luo, however, Mao Roulan now let him enter her team so easily.

Ye Xin refused to believe that Mao Roulan was selecting him because she didn't wanna let go of Gai Luo, she would never take such a risk.

He moved his head up and looked around and soon his gaze landed on Kang Huang, he was also looking at Ye Xin, although his face was covered with a mask, Ye Xin could tell that Kang Huang was currently smiling.

Ye Xin then looked at the cat on his shoulder and felt a chill running down his spine as the cat was also looking at him.

"He must be the one, did he sense the aura on Hong Hai, even though he was hiding it?" Ye Xin thought and gulped his saliva, if that was the case then he would have to be careful of the guy.

Soon the three reached the group, the red-haired girl looked at Ye Xin and Gai Luo and nodded. While Kang Huang also didn't say anything and just nodded at them.

Mao Roulan on the other hand took in a deep breath. "First, let's go to our spot, you guys know how to fly right?" She asked with her brows raised.

Gai Luo and Ye Xin nodded at her.

"That's good then." She said and jumped on the back of her Pegasus. "Follow me."

The girl in the red robe also jumped on the back of Mao Roulan's Pegasus, while Kang Huang's body was suddenly covered with black smoke and then he disappeared in thin air.

Ye Xin and Gai Luo both looked at each other and nodded, Ye Xin then de-summoned Hong Hai and jumped on the back of Xiao Sha with Gai Luo.

"Go." Mao Roulan commanded and the Pegasus started flapping the four of its wings and soon it was high in the sky leaving a gale behind.

"Follow that bird." Gai Luo pointed at Mao Roulan's beast, and soon enough two sand wings appeared behind Gai Luo's beast and then they also flew up in the air.

"Bird?!" Many of the people almost vomited blood at Gai Luo's comment. Even Ye Xin smiled at his words.

The girl in a red robe looked back at him and chuckled.

Mao Roulan on the other hand was unhappy she looked at Gai Luo with a strange expression, and her eyes then landed on Ye Xin.

'There is something strange about him, Kang Huang has felt it but he won't tell me, let's see what you can do.' she thought and looked back in front.

After they were gone a huge commotion erupted in the area, even the people who were in the line started chatting about Ye Xin and Gai Luo, and how they were extremely lucky to be on Mao Roulan's team.

Many of them were jealous of the two. Getting selected for Mao Roulan's team was equal to getting into the Heihui Sect, and that was the dream of almost ninety percent of the aspirants.

Heihui Sect was the biggest sect in the continent and the disciples of the sect always got respect and a high position in society.

After about ten minutes they stopped in front of an Inn and just like Wan Peng, Mao Roulan had also booked the top floor of the inn.

All five of them stood in the middle of the top floor area.

"Let's introduce each other first, I am Mao Roulan and this is Jia Mei." She pointed at the girl in red beside her.

Jia Mei smiled and nodded at the two.

Mao Roulan then pointed at Kang Huang, "He is Kang Huang." She said.

Kang Huang nodded at the two.

Gai Luo and Ye Xin also nodded at the two.

"I am Gai Luo and this is my friend Ye Xin." Gai Luo introduces with a big smile on his face.

"Good, rest for now, we will be heading towards the testing area early in the morning, I have put my faith in all of you, and I hope you guys don't disappoint me." Mao Roulan said as she looked at everyone on the team.

"Don't worry, Miss Roulan, me and Ye Xin are pretty strong." Gai Luo said.

"I hope so." Mao Roulan murmured and nodded at them.
