After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Three people appeared simultaneously, and the manager, not daring to neglect them, hurried forward to greet them warmly.

"We are just here to conduct some business," Lin Da said, "Please register our intent to form an alliance."

The manager, named Ricky, was a tall man with brown, short hair, wearing glasses, and had a gentle demeanor.

Upon hearing Lin Da's words, Ricky slightly startled, adjusted his glasses, and said, "Do you mean, Captain Lin Da, that the Phoenix Tail Flower, Ice Flower, and Snow Goose teams are forming an alliance?"

"Yes," Lin Da replied.

The two young women beside him nodded as well.

As soon as this statement was made, all the staff in the hall and a few adventurers who were handling their business looked incredulously towards them.

Once these three teams allied, they would become the largest civilian force in White Dove City over time.

Most importantly, how did Lin Da manage to bring together Lia and Isa, two adventure team leaders who were like water and fire?

They had fought each other for three years and couldn't suddenly become friends.

The reason most likely lay with Lin Da.

And it happened to be the Winter Festival today, a favorite holiday for couples...

Someone noticed that Lin Da's lips were broken, seemingly bitten.

Reporter Kami, hiding behind a garbage bin in the hall, excitedly pulled out her notebook and wrote furiously:

On the night of the Winter Festival, a suspected gathering of the Eye of True Knowledge, serving him with two girls of ice and fire, even broke his lips!

...

Five minutes later.

Lin Da and his allies had completed the alliance.

The Adventurers' Guild would issue an announcement informing the people of White Dove City

that from now on, anyone who intends to deal with one of them will face the combined retaliation of all three.

Whether it's shadow spirits or Bedrock, they would have to think twice before making a move on Lin Da and the others.

Upon leaving the Adventurers' Guild.

"I'm going to see if Fannis and her group have returned," Isa said energetically.

Lia said, "I'll also inform Aiko and the others!"

Lin Da smiled and said, "To celebrate our trilateral alliance, once everyone gathers, I'll make an announcement."

"What is it?" Isa asked, curious.

"It's mainly for the Snow Goose side," Lin Da said.

Snow Goose?

Lia seemed to think of something, her eyes bursting with brilliance, and she stuttered, "You wouldn't, you couldn't be planning... to create a strategy for Snow Goose, could you?"

Facing their inquisitive looks, Lin Da nodded gently, "However, I will only provide Snow Goose with a rough strategy. You need to figure out the details yourselves. Plus, I'll train your team cooperation. If Lia doesn't follow orders again, Snow Goose will never get my strategies in the future."

"No problem," Lia said excitedly, "Then I'll go call the others!"

A red figure swiftly disappeared into the snowy landscape.

Lia couldn't wait to bring this great news back to Snow Goose.

...

On the way back, Lin Da spent a good deal of effort to calm his own team members.

He wouldn't neglect his own side just because he had two new allies.

Lin Da's focus was still on Phoenix Tail Flower, helping Lia and her group, only lending a hand in his spare time.

Boots crunched on the snow, making creaking noises.

Lin Da thought about the future of Phoenix Tail Flower.

In a few days, the ten floors of the Great Mystery Continent would open.

He definitely wouldn't miss this opportunity to get stronger.

The challenge lay in floors 13 and 14, where one would have to defeat hidden Magical Creatures and a Light Mage was needed.

Lin Da's team was low on magical output, with only Monica there.

'If we can't manage, we'll just have to farm wild creatures to accumulate Mystical Points and brutally power through after reaching level 30,' Lin Da thought reluctantly.

Upon returning to Goldfinch District, from afar he saw the villa of Phoenix Tail Flower enshrouded in darkness, without any lights.

A chill shot through Lin Da's heart: had Tasya not returned yet?

He had thought Tasya was just not wearing a yukata and didn't come.

But it seemed the situation was more serious than he thought.

"What's wrong with Sister Tasya?" Monica asked worriedly.

Lulu felt somewhat guilty, and seeing the solemn expression on Lin Da's face, dared not speak.

Entering the villa, Lin Da turned on the magic guide lamp switch.

The hall immediately lit up.

There was a letter on the table.

Lin Da's sense of foreboding grew stronger.

He walked briskly over and opened the envelope.

[To the master: I had promised Dawen to participate in the subjugation of level ten Magical Creatures, and as level ten is about to open, please forgive my leaving without a word.

Tasya left this note.] Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire

"Level ten subjugation... The creature Dawen wants to subdue, could it be that 'Magical Creature'?"

Lin Da's expression changed.

If the Scarlet Adventure Group were to challenge that Magical Creature without any knowledge, they would surely be wiped out.

"Um, Lin Da... I have something to tell you." Lulu, with her tail drooping, came over.

"What's wrong with you, looking like that?"

Lin Da asked in surprise.

She looked nearly as limp as frostbitten eggplants, her light blue furry ears had lost their luster.

Lulu said, "Actually, Tasya had come looking for us, just when we were leaving in the carriage... and she was wearing a bathrobe..."

"What?"

Lin Da was stunned, "Then why didn't you say so?"

Lulu was at a loss for words.

After a brief moment, Lin Da understood the reason.

He sighed, "Don't blame yourself; this isn't your fault."

"There is also this thing that I found." Lulu carefully took out a blue scarf from her space ring.

"I found it in the amusement park, probably, Tasya went there too."

"A scarf?"

Lin Da took it, it was a scarf made of Fire Dragon Silk, warm and smooth to the touch, and it had a faint fragrance, very much like Tasya's.

In the bottom right corner of the scarf, there was a pair of cute chibi human figures embroidered, one dressed in a scholar's robe holding a book was Lin Da, and behind him stood a man in a black coat wearing a faceless mask, holding a magic sword.

It was Lin Da and Dark Shadow.

To the left side of the scarf, a chibi silver-haired maid was holding a broom and cleaning, staring blankly to the right.

"Tasya has been busy these past few days, so this is what she was making?" Lin Da suddenly realized.

It seemed Tasya had intended to give him the scarf on the day of the Winter Festival.

But for some reason, the scarf ended up in the amusement park.

Lin Da took a deep breath, wrapped the scarf around him, grabbed his coat hanging at the door, and hurried out.

"Where are you going?" Lulu asked, worried.

Monica also followed to the door.

"When Lia and the others arrive, please entertain them for me, and apologize on my behalf."

"I need to take a trip to Red Heart City."

Lin Da looked determinedly to the south.

He must stop Dawen, he couldn't let the Scarlet Adventure Group attempt to challenge that Magical Creature.

Even the ordinary Sun Adventure Group would take a detour upon seeing that creature!

Fortunately, there was about a week left before level ten opened.

He set off overnight, and he would reach Red Heart City before dawn.

"I'll come with you," Lulu said, not quite at ease.

"No, you stay here and entertain Lia and the others. Kafni needs to recuperate, and Monica isn't able to manage everything, so it's up to you. Can I entrust this to you?" Lin Da asked emphatically.

Lulu's drooping wolf tail gently wagged as she nodded: "Leave it to me."

During the night, Lin Da rented a Blackflame Horse worth one hundred thousand gold and sped towards Red Heart City.

...

A few hours earlier, at Swan Amusement Park.

Snowflakes fell on Tasya's hair, which was coiled up, and soon a thin layer of snow covered her shoulders.

She had been following Lin Da and the others the whole time.

In Tasya's head, the scene of Lin Da being surrounded by young girls replayed, leaving a void in her body, as if even the heartbeat had vanished.

She stared blankly at the night sky, the colorful lights of fireworks falling on her face.

The blue scarf in her handbag fell out, swept away by the wind, unnoticed.

She had been with the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team for several days.

But Tasya still didn't feel a part of it.

She always felt that there was an unseen barrier between her and people like Lin Da and Lulu.

To Lin Da's side, it seemed her presence was completely unnecessary.

Passersby were attracted by Tasya's appearance, stopping to stare.

"Who is that person, she looks so beautiful in a bathrobe."

"Looks like a Star Rank of the Scarlet Adventure Group, but now she's a member of Captain Lin Da's team."

"Eh, Lin Da again?"
