Chapter 144 – I can let him output freely Lin Jichen was still clueless, as he was far away and had no idea what they were talking about. However, he did manage to get over a hundred battle merits from the Crystal Elder they killed. He didn't lift a finger; it was all thanks to Panda Xiong. The pet's contributions naturally counted towards the owner's. Getting over a hundred battle merits for free, Lin Jichen happily walked over. "You guys are impressive, taking down a mid-Crystal Formation enemy." Lin Jichen originally came over just to give some praise and make an appearance, but when he arrived, he sensed something was off. At this moment, his male intuition told him it was best not to linger. "Um... I'll go see if anyone else needs help." Lin Jichen turned to leave but was stopped by Ren Lan. "Little Lin, did you just say we were impressive?" "Yeah, really impressive," Lin Jichen nodded, feeling increasingly uneasy. Ren Lan suddenly asked a 'terrifying' question. "So, who do you think is more impressive, me or her?" "Who are you talking about..." Lin Jichen asked cautiously. "Who else, the beautiful sister you gave the Mysterious Grade equipment to," Ren Lan said with a smile. Lin Jichen's smile froze and gradually turned rigid. His heart skipped a beat, feeling as if two pairs of eyes were staring at him like lie detectors. "Ahem, I didn't see how you guys fought, so how would I know who's more impressive? But being able to take down the Crystal Elder means you're both very impressive." Lin Jichen chose to play innocent since he hadn't seen anything. "Just look at the battle merits, isn't that enough?" Jiang Luoyu chimed in. Ren Lan immediately retorted, "Ha, you're a Foundation Establishment spell cultivator, and you're only 30 points ahead of me in battle merits. If I were in the Foundation Establishment Realm, you wouldn't even come close to my score." "Some people just like to blame their failures on not being strong enough. It's a typical excuse. Is it so hard to admit someone is better than you?" Jiang Luoyu countered. "It's not hard, but is it so hard to admit you're not as skilled?" Ren Lan sneered. "It's not hard, but it depends on who you're comparing to." "Comparing to you!" "Anytime!" Lin Jichen thought only one would volunteer, but to his surprise, both of them spoke up. "Why are you joining the fun? I'll go with Little Lin," Ren Lan mocked. Jiang Luoyu didn't back down, "In terms of strength, I seem to be stronger than you. Though you hate to admit it, I'm at mid-Foundation Establishment, and you're at the later stage of Qi Refining. Clearly, I'm more useful." "Ha, does Little Lin lack damage output? What he needs is control and someone to tank damage. I can set up and let him unleash his full power. Can you?" Hearing this, Lin Jichen's expression became a bit odd. Was she serious? Apparently, neither Ren Lan nor Jiang Luoyu thought as he did. Jiang Luoyu retorted, "In terms of control, we spell cultivators have plenty of control skills. I can also let him unleash his full power, and I can even join him in attacking to quickly finish off the enemy." Lin Jichen looked at Jiang Luoyu again, his thoughts wandering... "Aren't you the guild leader? You should stay and command. Let's go, Little Lin, don't mind her," Ren Lan said, pulling Lin Jichen to leave. "Who said I need to command? The guild's commander has always been Wanling. Wanling, take over here," Jiang Luoyu said. Su Wanling: "...." Jiang Luoyu ignored her and walked straight to Lin Jichen, looking at him with pleading eyes, "Little Chen, you'll take me, right?" She was really afraid Lin Jichen would refuse. Her jade hand hidden in her robe's sleeve gripped her staff tightly, anxiously waiting for his answer. Lin Jichen could only manage a bitter smile. What was going on today? "Well... let's all go together. More hands make light work." He had no other choice; his plan to separate them had failed! He could only take them along and find a suitable opportunity to resolve their conflict later. So, the three of them left the team and headed to another hall. They hadn't gone far when they saw players outside a hall being beaten back by a Crystal Formation Elder and elite disciples. Without waiting for Lin Jichen to speak, Jiang Luoyu raised her staff and cast an Ice Seal. The Crystal Elder was briefly controlled, and Ren Lan immediately charged in, drawing the Poison Sect Elder's aggro with a flurry of punches. Both of them shouted simultaneously, "Little Lin (Little Chen), I've got him controlled, attack now!" Lin Jichen was both amused and exasperated. It seemed staying between them would be even more of a headache. But for now, earning battle merits was the priority. Seeing Panda Xiong still lounging around lazily, Lin Jichen kicked its plump rear. "Stop slacking off and get in there!" Panda Xiong: "????"
