Chapter 113: Divine Hunter

The person who had spoken earlier was Wind Feather.

Seeing them approach, Lin Xinyan felt it would be impolite to leave, so she stopped and waited for them.

As soon as they met, Wind Feather stepped forward and eagerly grabbed Lin Xinyan’s hands.

“Xinyan, it’s been so long. I’ve missed you so much.”

Lin Xinyan felt uncomfortable with Wind Feather’s enthusiasm. His grip on her hands felt awkward and she wanted to pull away, but he was holding on tightly. Pulling away might seem rude.

Thus, Lin Xinyan found herself in an awkward situation right from the start.

Standing beside her, Shi Ji’s expression grew more serious.

Just as Lin Xinyan was feeling distressed, a large hand suddenly appeared and grabbed Wind Feather’s ear without any mercy.

“Wind Feather, you pervert! You always try to cozy up to any pretty girl you see.”

The one who intervened was Auntie Cai.

With his ear pinched, Wind Feather quickly released Lin Xinyan’s hands.

“Hey! Auntie! Auntie! Go easy! Go easy!”

Auntie Cai didn’t hold back. She didn’t care if it hurt, because no matter how much it hurt she didn’t feel any pain anyway.

“Let’s see if you dare to harass the little sister again.”

Auntie Cai’s timely intervention made Lin Xinyan very grateful.

After this little episode, Alloy approached and shook hands with Lin Xinyan.

“Xinyan, from now on, we’re comrades. Let’s help each other out,” Alloy said with a smile.

“Of course!”

After shaking hands with Lin Xinyan, Alloy politely shook hands with Shi Ji, introducing himself, “Alloy. I don’t believe I caught your name last time we met.”

Shi Ji, appreciative of friendly gestures, cheerfully shook Alloy’s hand.

“Oh, Shi Ji. Xinyan’s classmate.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Next, the unfamiliar A-level hero, Divine Hunter, came over to shake hands with Lin Xinyan.

Divine Hunter lived up to his name. He was dressed in a hunter’s outfit. Of course, his sleek suit had a high-tech look, making him look quite dashing.

“Xinyan, I heard you just recently registered as a hero. I didn’t expect you to reach A-level so quickly. First, you dealt with an anomaly close to Spirit-level, and then you battled a nearly Devil-level anomaly with Wind Feather and the others. Such luck! If I had your luck, I might already be a quasi-S-level hero by now.”

Despite the handshake, his words were laced with sarcasm.

Lin Xinyan’s feats were well-known within the Star Alliance. Those who had fought alongside her knew her strength, but those who hadn’t met her couldn’t help but doubt her abilities.

While it was normal to have doubts, such blatant sarcasm spoke volumes about one’s character.

Initially smiling as she shook hands with Divine Hunter, Lin Xinyan’s expression gradually became more serious after hearing his words.

Auntie Cai quickly came to her defense.

“Divine Hunter, don’t be so arrogant. We’ve all witnessed Xinyan’s strength. She’s a genuine A-level hero. You don’t need to doubt that.”

Divine Hunter crossed his arms and smiled meaningfully, “We’ll see about that.”

The awkward atmosphere was suddenly interrupted by an outstretched hand.

“Shi Ji, nice to meet you!”

Shi Ji, who had been quiet for a while, finally spoke up.
