I raised a brow to look at An Xue Yun before asking, "Is it alright to do that?"She shook her head with a faint smile before saying, "Aren't you looking down on the Explorer Association too much by asking that question? You should know that there are big backers behind us." I slowly nodded before saying, "Yes, but…" As I said this, I turned to look at Iris who was standing there with an awkward look on her face. When she saw me looking at her, she hesitated a bit before saying, "He's the son of the Tide City governor." I slightly knitted my brows when I heard this. While I didn't know exactly who the Tide City's governor was, I knew that to become a governor, one had to become an A Rank Summoner first. While an A Rank Summoner wasn't that strong compared to a World Summoner, it was still someone that was considered an expert in our world. He was someone that could influence the government since he was one of their governors. But to my surprise, it didn't seem like An Xue Yun was worried at all. Seeing the way that I looked at her, she said, "It's just a single governor and it's not even the governor himself, it's the son. Do you really think that the Explorer Association really is that weak?" Then after a pause, she added, "But you should look after yourself in the future. The look on his face made it clear that he wouldn't drop this matter that easily." I slowly nodded in agreement before turning to look at Iris. Seeing me look at her, she said, "I'll tell my parents about this. Since you're a guest of the Huo Family, then this is the least that we should do." I gave another slow nod of agreement, but the look in my eyes told a different story. While I wouldn't pursue this matter, if he were to pursue it…I had no reason to show mercy. Once that distraction was over, An Xue Yun started exploring the mission that she picked out for us. It was a C Rank Dungeon. The last dungeon that she had gotten me was the Fishmen Hole which was a D Rank Dungeon and now she was bringing it up a notch by giving me a C Rank Dungeon. It was almost as if An Xue Yun was slowly planning my path for me. It wasn't as if I had anything against this, the only question that I had for her was… "Is there anything special about this dungeon?" There was just a mysterious smile that appeared on her lips when An Xue Yun heard this. She didn't actually say anything in response to this, she just looked at me as if I should know the answer to this. The Fishmen Hole had turned out to be a Quest Dungeon, so what about this one. I took a closer look at the posting for this dungeon and I couldn't find anything special about this. This was another open field dungeon that led to a forest, but this one was much more dangerous than the one that I went to before. This one was actually filled with monsters that were no weaker than D Rank. That was the same rank as the Thunder Deer that I fought in the other dungeon. Of course, they weren't as strong since they weren't Boss Monsters, but they weren't that weak either. In a place like this, it didn't seem like there was anything special. In the end, I just took the mission and said, "Alright, we'll go to this place then." "I'll give Mo Yun a call, just wait a bit." An Xue Yun said before turning around to pick up a phone. I gave a nod before turning to say something to Wang Rong. Searᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. During this time, Iris went over to the counter as if she wanted to talk to An Xue Yun alone. I noticed this and didn't say anything. Though the way that Wang Rong gestured with his eyes didn't help. I just simply said to him, "It's better not to get involved." He looked at me with a strange look, but he nodded in agreement in the end. … "Thank you for helping earlier." Iris suddenly said after a long moment of silence. An Xue Yun had been about to make the call when she heard this. She lowered the phone a bit to look at Iris before saying, "They were causing trouble for the Explorer Association and it's my job. There's no need to thank me." Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire Iris didn't say anything in response at first, but then she suddenly said, "Still, that doesn't mean that I'm going to give up." This time, An Xue Yun had a slightly surprised look in her eyes. After a pause, she said, "I don't know what you mean." Iris gave a simple nod before saying, "It just means that I'm already in the lead if you're not willing to admit it." Without waiting for An Xue Yun's response, she turned to leave. An Xue Yun also didn't say anything, but there was a strange look that appeared in her eyes. It was almost as if she didn't know what she wanted either with that look in her eyes. In the end, An Xue Yun just went back to make that call. … "What was that about?" Wang Rong asked Iris when she came back. He had been trying to hold it in, but he couldn't help saying something when he saw the look on Iris' face. Though in reality, he was actually asking for someone else… "It's nothing. I just had a few things that I wanted to get off my chest." Iris said with narrowed eyes directed at Wang Rong. Wang Rong couldn't help feeling pressured seeing this, so he just gave a simple nod and turned around. I just ignored all of this as I followed my own advice. Getting involved would be more trouble than it was worth.
