Chapter 34 Followers

  Seeing the two men walking towards the Ling sisters, quite a number of people among the onlookers in the restaurant immediately showed ambiguous expressions. Of course, more of them were jealous.

  Especially those men who had been politely declined by the Ling sisters before were so angry that their eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

  Feeling a bit uneasy under the gaze of everyone, Ling Yue'er twisted her slender waist uncomfortably and said to Ling Zhu'er in a coquettish voice, "Sister, why don't we leave first? Anyway, we've almost finished eating. And I don't know if Brother Chen Yue will come over tonight. Humph, I'll deal with him tomorrow."

  Ling Zhu'er smiled bitterly, feeling extremely headache. If they had left before these two men came in, it would have been okay.

  But now, it was obvious that the two men were coming for them. If they just left like this, where would the other party's face be? You should know that there was an apostle among them. For such people, it's better not to offend them easily if possible. What's more, even if the two sisters wanted to leave, would the other party stop them?

  Although the situation was extremely tricky, Ling Zhu'er was a clever girl after all. Although she didn't dare to offend the other party, it didn't mean that she would let the other party do whatever they wanted. She didn't need to be hypocritical to those she didn't like.

  She didn't know the character of that apostle. But seeing that he walked towards them as soon as he came in, she thought he couldn't be any better. For such a lecherous person, Ling Zhu'er had always been cold and indifferent. Moreover, Omar had pursued her before. After being rejected by her, he had threatened to take revenge. He definitely didn't come with good intentions at this time. Thinking of these, Ling Zhu'er didn't want to stay here anymore.

  Just when the two men arrived at the dining table and Omar was about to speak with a big smile on his face, Ling Zhu'er had already stood up with her sister and said in a respectful manner, "The restaurant is so crowded. Since the two lords have taken a fancy to this table, we should naturally give it up. Anyway, we've already eaten, and we don't dare to disturb your enjoyment. Farewell."

  What she said was extremely clever. She didn't openly reject the other party and make them lose face. Instead, she tactfully expressed her refusal without giving the other party an excuse to get angry. What's more, she subtly stabbed the other party.

  At this moment, although there were quite a number of people in the restaurant, it was far from being crowded. There was an empty table right beside them, but Omar and that apostle just walked to their table. Their intention was too obvious.

  Sure enough, Omar's face stiffened when he heard this. Obviously, he hadn't expected to be rejected like this. All the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them out. He wanted to get angry but had no excuse. His face turned green and then white. When he looked at Ling Zhu'er, there was more resentment in his eyes, and faintly, there was even a trace of murderous intent.

  Murderous intent?

  Ling Zhu'er, who was fearlessly looking at him, Captured keenly the flash of murderous intent in his eyes. Her heart trembled violently, but there was no sign of fear on her face. She naturally looked away and bowed slightly to the apostle, reaching out to hold Ling Yue'er's delicate wrist.

  Her heart was in turmoil. She couldn't figure out why just an ordinary refusal would make the other party have murderous intent.

  Feeling her palm getting wet, Ling Yue'er gave her sister a suspicious look, but she was sensible enough not to ask aloud.

  Although she was very casual with Chen Yue and didn't seem to be afraid of his identity as an apostle at all, that was because their relationship was originally very harmonious, and she had also participated in the process of Chen Yue summoning the familiar spirit. Therefore, in her mind, she never thought that Chen Yue would become a different person after becoming an apostle. He was still the big brother she liked very much.

  However, this didn't mean that she didn't understand the meaning of an apostle. For such people, if you can't afford to offend them, you can still avoid them.

  "Wait." Just as the two women were about to leave, the apostle reached out to stop them.

  The faces of the two women turned pale. It was really what they were afraid of.

  In the restaurant, there were a few faint disdainful snorts. Obviously, the behavior of this apostle made people dissatisfied.

  As if he hadn't heard the dissatisfied voices, the apostle said politely, "Don't misunderstand, ladies. We didn't come here to take your seats. It's just that I have a small wish of my own, which is related to this lady."

  The one he was looking at was Ling Zhu'er.

  His wish was related to herself? Ling Zhu'er was confused by his sudden words and didn't feel embarrassed to insist on leaving for a while.

  "My sister doesn't even know you. How can your wish have anything to do with my sister?" It was Ling Yue'er who spoke. She wrinkled her delicate nose in dissatisfaction, and she was even more certain in her heart that the other party had bad intentions towards her sister.

  "Hehe." The apostle smiled without taking offense and said seriously, "I want to invite this lady to become my follower. Tell me, isn't my wish related to her?"

  As soon as this sentence came out, it was like throwing a bomb into the restaurant. All of a sudden, everyone was in an uproar.

  It turned out that he was looking for a follower. Those who had been a bit dissatisfied with the apostle before stared at him eagerly, as if they couldn't wait to devour him alive.

  For a moment, it seemed that all the lights in the restaurant were focused on Ling Zhu'er, and everyone didn't hide the jealousy in their eyes at all.

  Just think about how many people were staying in the front hall of the Apostle Association, eagerly hoping to become a follower, and you would know how sought-after this position was. These students didn't even have the qualification to go there and try, let alone dream of becoming a follower. But now an apostle had come to the academy and said that he wanted to take Ling Zhu'er as a follower. Such a pie-in-the-sky thing, how could it not make them extremely jealous.

  Completely shocked by this unexpected news, Ling Zhu'er stood there blankly, her mind empty, and she couldn't say a word.

  Hearing the unexpected move of the apostle, Omar, who had been calm before, suddenly changed his face and was the first to object, "Lord Wolf, how can this be? Didn't we agree..."

  "Omar, don't be impatient." The apostle named Wolf interrupted him with a smile, "I'm not limited to recruiting only one follower. There will be a place for you."

  Lowering his head in dissatisfaction, Omar didn't dare to refute face to face, but he had already started cursing in his heart.

  Wolf was just a first-rank apostle and could only recruit one follower. Originally, there was a great possibility that it would be him. But now, seeing that the sisters were so beautiful, he had changed his mind all of a sudden. How could this not make him extremely resentful and dissatisfied? As for Wolf's comfort, he didn't believe it at all. Everyone knew how difficult it was for an apostle to advance in rank. Maybe by the time Wolf advanced to the second rank, he would already be old and dead. In other words, this was just a blank check.

  What's more, even if Wolf advanced to the second rank early and could recruit two followers, perhaps he would waste the quota on the younger sister.

  Omar felt more bitter than eating gall. He had already regretted bringing people here. Speaking of the Ling sisters, if it was just one of them, although she was extremely charming, there were also many people in the academy who could compare with her. But, unfortunately, these two beautiful twins were together, which was a unique and beautiful sight. No wonder the other party broke the agreement.

  "Miss, what's your opinion?" Seeing that Ling Zhu'er was a bit distracted, Wolf asked again. There was a slight look of complacency on his face. This trick had always worked in the past. He didn't believe that the sweet girl in front of him would be willing to reject such a temptation.

  "My lord, I..." Ling Zhu'er struggled violently in her heart. She knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but her reason reminded her that perhaps it was also a sweet trap.

  "Sister." Ling Yue'er called softly. Of course, she didn't want her sister to become the follower of this unpleasant guy. Seeing the greed hidden deep in his eyes, she knew that he definitely had bad intentions. But she also knew how rare this opportunity was for her sister.

  After hesitating for a moment, Ling Zhu'er's little face gradually became firm. She pinched her sister's soft little hand, as if feeling the uneasiness and hesitation in her heart. At this moment, the hearts of the two sisters were closely connected.

  She bowed and said in an extremely firm tone, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. It would be the most glorious thing to be your follower. However, I know that my strength is insufficient and far inferior to that of Senior Omar. I think he is more suitable to be your follower. So, I'm afraid I have to disappoint you."

  After saying this, she suddenly understood the reason for Omar's murderous intent just now. As if putting down a heavy burden, her heart suddenly felt relaxed.

  Ling Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief, and a very happy smile appeared on her little face.

  A look of astonishment appeared on everyone's face. Hearing Ling Zhu'er's so resolute words, everyone couldn't believe their eyes. Such an opportunity and temptation, she, she actually refused it?

  Blinking his eyes hard, Wolf almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

  "My sister said that she doesn't agree." Seeing that he still had some persistent actions, Ling Yue'er was completely angry. She was happy that her sister had withstood the test, but she also hated Wolf, who had thrown out this temptation, very much. She asked loudly, "My lord, may I ask if you knew my sister's name before you made the decision to make her your follower? Do you know her strength? And do you know her age, aptitude and past?"

  A series of somewhat sharp questions suddenly exposed the essence of the problem. Only then did everyone notice that from beginning to end, Wolf's words didn't mention Ling Zhu'er's name at all. Obviously, he knew nothing about her. In such a situation, he made the decision to recruit her. As long as a person with a normal mind could see the trick in it.

  "Yue'er." Ling Zhu'er gently pulled Ling Yue'er's little hand, but there wasn't much blame on her face.

  The bystanders see more clearly. Once it was said, it was so simple.

  Wolf's face suddenly became extremely ugly. It wasn't that he didn't want to ask about the situation clearly before throwing out the bait of recruitment. It was mainly because the two women were determined to leave and didn't give him much time.

  Since it had been exposed, he didn't hide it anymore. He firmly stood in the way of the two women's departure and said in a gloomy voice, "I advise you to think it over carefully."

  "You..." She had never seen such a shameless person. Did he really think that he could take whatever he wanted in the world? Ling Zhu'er's eyebrows stood on end and she was about to angrily rebuke him when suddenly a sarcastic laugh came from outside the door.

  "Since others are unwilling, you're still pestering them. Wolf, you've really disgraced us apostles."

  As the voice fell, a young man strode in from outside. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the expression on his face was half-smiling, but it was indescribably sarcastic.

  What day was it today? Two apostles had come one after another.

  Ling Zhu'er thought helplessly. At this time, Ling Yue'er beside her suddenly exclaimed "Ah" and looked at the newcomer with a face full of surprise, her eyes showing infinite joy.

  Her heart trembled violently. She knew who the newcomer was.
