Once I agreed, there was nothing else for us to discuss. Mu Gong gave a satisfied nod before leading the person that brought the envelope with him. But before they left, that person came over and suddenly said with a smile, "Junior brother, don't think too much about master's words. Even if he acts like that, he still cares about you." Then without another word, he turned to follow Mu Gong out. I didn't even get a chance to say anything in response to this. Especially to the fact that he called me junior brother… Once they were gone, there was only silence that lingered in the air. After all, none of us knew how to react to the thing that Mu Gong suddenly brought up like this. I looked back down at the envelope and I found…it wasn't just a single piece of paper that was there. I had only taken that single enrollment form, but it turned out that there were more that were in the envelope as well. Taking them out, I saw that they were for Wang Rong and Iris. It seemed that he recognized that we were a team and that we needed to go together as a team, so he prepared the enrollment for all three of us together. Though how Iris' parents would react to this… No, even Wang Rong had the right to choose in this matter. Even if I had formed a working contract with him that was like a slave contract, it wasn't as if I had the right to decide his life and death like this. So at the very least, I should have a talk with him about this. As such, after pulling these two pieces of paper out, I went over to where Iris and Wang Rong were to hand them over. The two of them were surprised to see this, but Iris surprisingly took it without a single word. After taking it, she turned around and walked off before saying, "I'm going to make a call." I didn't stop her as I just looked at Wang Rong while still holding his copy and saying, "It's your decision to make. Even if we have a deal, this is different. This is completely different from the normal dungeons, so I understand if you don't want to come with me. I won't blame you if you decide not to come." I made sure to say this with the most serious and sincere look. This was not something that I wanted to put any pressure on him at all. This was something that he had to decide for himself. After a short silence, Wang Rong slowly said, "I, I…" It seemed like he was still struggling with his thoughts and wasn't able to come to a decision yet.

It was only natural that he would struggle like this since it was quite the big decision in the first place. I had no intention of forcing him to make a decision yet since there was still plenty of time before I had to head out. With a pat on his shoulder and an understanding look, I said, "Take some time to think this over. This is a big decision, it isn't something that you would want to rush." Wang Rong slightly knitted his brows as if he was struggling with something. When I saw this, I grabbed his other shoulder and turned him to look right at me to say, "I won't look down on you if you don't want to go. This is a very dangerous place and I don't expect you to follow me in. Not to mention that if you follow me in with half hearted intentions, all that will happen is that you will die and even put me in danger." Wang Rong opened and closed his mouth a few times, as if he wanted to say something to refute this. But there were no words that came out of his mouth in the end. It was as if he just couldn't think of the words to refute me. Or based on the look in his eyes, even he didn't believe the words that he would have used to refute this. In the end, I just patted him on the shoulder again before saying, "Just take the time to think about it. Discuss it with your little sister and see where your heart is at. I won't think any less of you if you decide not to go, it is your life and I can't force you to give it up." Well in reality, I could since that was the kind of contract that I signed with him in the first place. But after diving into the dungeons with him for a while, I just couldn't think of him like that… So I wouldn't treat Wang Rong like that. The loyalty that he showed so far would be repaid. After hesitating for a while, Wang Rong finally slowly gave a nod of agreement and fell into a state of deep thought. I didn't say anything to disturb him since I was sure that there was still plenty that he had to think about. And while this was happening, Iris came back from whatever she had been doing. When she came back, she seemed like she was struggling with something of her own. At the same time, with the way that she kept looking at me, it seemed that this was related to me. "What's wrong?" Finally I couldn't take the way that she was looking at me, so I asked her this question. Iris seemed like she was still hesitating for a bit, but eventually she said, "I talked to my parents about what happened and they said that they want to invite you for dinner." "For dinner?" I slowly asked in response. Iris gave a slow nod as an answer. A strange look appeared on my face. I wasn't a fool, I knew that they wouldn't be inviting me to dinner like this unless…
