After more than a minute, Ivan and Xiulin looked at each other, neither of them spoke, and the hall of the small building was so quiet that they could hear the changes in each other's breathing......

Xiulin silently lowered her head, sighed softly, and walked a few steps to the bottom of the stairs. She didn't fall asleep, she didn't even change her clothes, it wasn't that she suspected anything, she was just too tired to sleep. She heard the movement in Ivan's room, and also noticed the origin magic aura of the fire attribute, but she didn't open the door to check what was going on. Ivan wasn't as stupid as Aisha and he should know exactly what he had to do.

"Are you talking to someone in your room?"

“...... No. Ivan replied hesitantly. If he told Xiulin the truth, Xiulin would definitely stop him.

"Then why did you suddenly want to go out to find Escher? Ivan, I don't think you don't know that Esia's disappearance is not just a simple 'disappearance'. "Can't we wait until we go to Idgara tomorrow before making a decision?"

But Xiulin didn't know at all, she couldn't understand clearly, she couldn't wait.

The Demon Clan's ships are leaving the Palan Continent at an unimaginable speed, and will soon reach the territory of the Demon Clan. The witch named Maureen had said that Envi's ship was very fast. Ivan also wanted to calm down and think about it carefully, but the thought that Aisha would be sent to an unknown land full of demons made him unable to calm down.

What's more, even if you get to the city of Idgera. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see Laxis, otherwise, why would Laxis go to the trouble of giving him the mirror?

The longer the time drags on, the more dangerous Aisha becomes, even if he goes to the city of Idgara, it is useless...... He couldn't explain these reasons to Xiulin. He suddenly gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and stared at his toes.

"Sister Xiulin, do you think Ai Xia won't come back?"

Xiulin was stunned for a moment, her expression solemn.

"You're just pretending to be confident, you think she has something to do with the demons. She's not the same Aisha she used to be. So. You're not going to go to her, are you?"

There was a surprising coldness in his voice, and after a moment, he felt as if Xiulin was about to rush up and beat him. A wave of anger came straight to him.

He knew that Xiulin was more rational than him. I still remember the beginning. He and Aisha meet the maid who has turned into a monster. Even though they knew that the other party had completely lost their human minds, they still didn't want to do anything to the monster that was once human. But Xiulin did it and didn't hesitate.

This is the decisiveness of the executor. Monsters, and of course demons, are enemies. It doesn't matter what they used to be.

"Oh, I ...... I underestimated you, I didn't expect you to have the leisure to observe your sister and me. ”

Unexpectedly, Xiulin burst out laughing.

"Okay, okay, one thing you're right, you Sister Xiulin, I pretend to be very confident, but in fact, I don't have any confidence at all. At the end of the words, Xiulin suddenly put away her smile.

"But you, do you really think I don't care about her at all? I've known her longer than you, child!" Xiulin's eyes lit up, and finally, like a weak patient, she slowly leaned against the railing of the stairs, revealing the real exhaustion that had been deposited for a long time.

"I miss her so much, really...... I miss her so much. I think if she hadn't gone...... Alas, after such a terrible thing, how good it would be for the three of us to go for a drink together to suppress the shock, do you remember? I remember it very clearly, I still remember the drunken appearance of the little girl, the red fluttering little face is so cute, call me a sister, I really want to kiss it fiercely......" Xiulin's dark eyes were covered with a layer of nostalgia.

Soon, however, she breathed a sigh of regret as if she had woken up from a sweet dream.

"But I've long understood, blindly dreaming...... Nothing at all. Just like I used to...... I've thought about it too...... If it were me, I didn't warn them...... How nice it would be to be a monster, in that case, I'll probably be with my family all the time...... Some time ago, um, you know, my father died. I tried to remember what he used to be, and if I couldn't remember, you think, wouldn't it be like I didn't have a father?

"He's my father! They, they're my family! Didn't I live with them all the time when I was a kid? Why...... They are to be like everyone else...... You have to keep your distance from me...... I've thought about it for a long time, I've been thinking about it for a long, long time, and I think they probably can't do it, we're all ...... There is no way. Xiulin said, her eyes darkened.

As long as you believe in hope and miracles, things will go your way?

In those years, as a so-called "prophet" like a caged bird, did Xiulin also believe that as long as she kept working hard, she could really get the favor of "God" and not have to continue to carry the burden that she couldn't carry at all?

But in the end, she still had to leave her homeland, had to give up, all the reluctant past.

Miracles did not appear.

All hope is nothing but a dream.

When they went to the city of the Feather Clan in the south of the desert together, Xiulin once told Ivan this story that was not funny at all, as if he was telling an experience that had nothing to do with him, but Ivan could still feel Xiulin's extremely bad feelings, obviously painful, but powerless against fate.

This feeling...... In fact, Ivan can be regarded as having experienced it. To be honest, Ivan was a little overwhelmed now, he didn't expect Xiulin to ...... Tell him this all of a sudden.

"Even if we want Ai Xia to come back, she will come back? It's not that you Sister Xiulin think that she is different from before, and you Sister Xiulin don't want her to forget about us, and you don't want ...... But I just can't comfort myself, I can't give myself confidence! I can't find a better reason to explain what she did! Why did she recover so quickly? Why did she get so poisoned so badly? Why did the demons say that she was a 'demon' and said that she was not? Why did she leave? Have you thought about it, these are very real questions in front of you!"

Xiulin deserved to be Xiulin, and quickly broke free from the memories of the past, and her tone was extremely tough.

"But...... So what? Sister Xiulin, you're used to it, so it's okay to give up, this kind of thing. Ivan was stunned for a moment and muttered softly.

This sentence was blurted out naturally, without thinking about it at all, and then it seemed as if a lightning bolt ran through the overhead. Xiulin froze suddenly, her expression as if she had been hit the head.

Ivan took a deep breath and hurriedly turned around, stiffly raising his hand to grab the doorknob, trying to get out of Xiulin's field of vision. This time he said it so hurtful that Xiulin's incredulous gaze as if he had been betrayed stabbed him like a sharp knife.

Sou.

The cold wind swept past the ears like a blade with substance, only the size of a fist, but the ice ball with fangs slammed into the door, quickly spreading a layer of frost-like ice along the door panel, and the cold air instantly condensed into a white mist and hit the face. Ivan immediately turned back.

"Ahh......h Look at what you said...... Anyway, I'm still your teacher. ”

Behind her, Xiulin's voice was filled with a cold, muffled laugh, and the twin star charm of the ice attribute was firmly held in her hand, and the muzzle of the gun flashed with the arc of cold light of ice magic. However, the face that reflected the cold light was clearly a very sad and disappointed expression.

Even if I wasn't your boss, I was an experienced executor better than you. Well, since you think so...... Then I'll be more straightforward. I don't care what Katie gave you, I don't care who you say to in the room, anyway, I won't allow you to go it alone this time!"

There is no more reason to talk about it.

Xiulin gritted her teeth and spat out an uncompromising order. (To be continued......)
