After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Isa fell silent for a while before saying, "Even so, I won't give up."

Although the Oath-bound's position had been snatched away by Lulu...

the bride's position was still vacant.

"Right, I have a proposal," Isa's mind sparked with an idea: "Phoenix Tail Flower and Ice Flower, let's form an alliance."

"An alliance?" Several people looked towards Isa.

"Yes, an alliance," Isa responded with a smile: "Once Ice Flower and Phoenix Tail Flower join forces, no one will be able to look down on this power."

As the Ice Flower Captain, Isa was confident she could reach Star Rank within a week.

Phoenix Tail Flower's promotion to Iron Level was a done deal, only a matter of time.

No one could ignore the alliance between these two teams.

Lin Da pondered for a moment.

"Let's not delay, let's go and register now!"

Isa: "Great!"

The group headed out of the amusement park.

Lia followed behind, dejected.

She glanced at Lin Da and Isa, opened her mouth several times wanting to say something but couldn't bring herself to do it.

She always felt left out.

...

Fireworks bloomed one after another in the night sky, and perhaps because of her mood, Isa had ample leeway to admire these mundane magical glimmers.

Though she felt a bit sorry for her team members, Isa still felt this year's Winter Festival was better than the previous ones.

Originally, Isa had planned to be rejected by Lin Da and return to Ice Flower's villa holding back tears.

Coming to her senses, Isa had also become one of those 'shameless women' she used to see.

She no longer wished to think about the future.

At least she should live without regrets in life.

Another firework ascended.
Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire

This one was much larger than the previous ones.

Symbolizing the new year's arrival.

The light snow that started before was now turning into a heavy downpour of goose-feather-like flakes.

It settled on the hair and eyebrows of Lin Da's party, forming a faint frosting of ice.

They raised their heads, gazing at the final firework in the night sky.

A verdant blaze of light came together to form a massive World Tree.

At this moment, all of White Dove City's inhabitants quietly looked up at the night sky.

When the last trace of light vanished from the sky,

Lin Da and the others looked at each other and said with a smile,

"Happy New Year."

...

In the Inner City District, Adventurer's Guild.

With the firework show concluded, the streets were noticeably less crowded.

Most had gone home to eat New Year's Eve dinner together in the warmth indoors.

A carriage arrived at the end of the street.

The carriage door opened, and Lin Da's group filed out.

They surveyed the surroundings, the streets draped in a cloak of silver.

"I can understand you riding with us in the carriage, thinking of it as a free ride back to the Inner City District's Snow Goose Villa, but why are you still following us now?"

Lin Da feigned confusion, turning his astonished gaze towards the sheepish Lia, "So, what are you here for?"

"I, I'm just looking," Lia's small face turned beet red with restraint.

"Oh." Lin Da looked at Lia with a meaningful glance.

A group of people headed towards the Adventurers' Guild.

Lia followed behind, scratching her cheek and muttering loudly to herself, "Geez, Snow Goose actually wouldn't mind finding an ally. Whoever becomes Snow Goose's ally would gain the friendship of the future strongest swordsman."

"Oh, who will invite Snow Goose and seize this great opportunity?"

As Lia spoke, her eyes drifted towards Lin Da.

"We'll have my hometown's delicacy 'dumplings' for the New Year's Eve dinner. What fillings do you all like?" Lin Da pretended not to hear and chatted with his team members.

"Monica wants vegetable ones."

"Mutton," Lulu said.

"I'll have pork and cabbage," Lia said subconsciously.

Everyone paused for a moment.

Who asked you from another team?

Lin Da's feelings, however, were somewhat complicated.

In the past, after Snow Goose's adventures ended, he would ask the same of Lia and her team.

After thinking for a while, Lin Da said, "Let's call everyone together and celebrate the New Year's together tonight."

"Yeah!" Lia's eyes lit up.

A short while later, they arrived at the Adventurers' Guild.

The hall was carpeted in beige, warm winds blew from the magical Arrays on the ceiling, and the staff diligently offered paper cups filled with hot water.

This was the special treatment for Rock-level Adventure Teams and above.

Lin Da took a water cup and drained it in one gulp.

The warmth spread from his stomach throughout his body, feeling very comfortable.

"That thing about forming an alliance, count me in," Lia knew it was too late if she didn't speak up now.

Lin Da: "That's not what you said when you kicked me out."

"But I apologized, didn't I?"

"..."

Lin Da speechlessly said, "I haven't said that I forgive you."

Lia: "???"

The young girl awkwardly scratched her head. "So there wasn't one?"

Lin Da said, "You need to show the right attitude when asking for a favor; otherwise, we won't form an alliance with you."

Isa also felt like teasing Lia, saying with all seriousness, "Snow Goose has good combat strength, but there's a big problem with the character of its members, such as the captain being quite arrogant."

"I, I'm not arrogant," Lia said, her face burning hot.

"Why don't you form an alliance with us?" Lia bit her lip and said.

"Not sincere enough. Say, 'Please, Captain Lin Da.'"

"Gr..."

"Please, Captain Lin Da, please form an alliance with Snow Goose."

Lia placed her hands on the sides of her thighs, slightly bent over, and asked in a low and humble voice.

Seeing Lia's neck turning red with shame, Lin Da felt quite satisfied.

He never expected the proud and arrogant Lia to bow to him one day.

"Alright then, I'll reluctantly count you in, although I was planning on it anyway."

"Huh!?"

Lia: "You were planning to form an alliance with Snow Goose all along? Was I begging you for nothing?"

Lin Da shook his head at her intelligence.

In the end, the captains of the three adventure teams gathered in front of the counter.

The sight of their assembly indeed frightened the main supervisor of the hall quite a bit.

As the captains of the most promising adventure teams in White Dove City, President Velen had personally emphasized that they should be treated with special care whenever they visited the Adventurers' Guild.
