He Has a Sickness that Needs to be Cured - Chapter 303

unedited

After cutting off the sight of others, Lin An was not as calm as before, holding Xi Ning’s hand tremblingly, “What were you doing just now?”

Xi Ning didn’t understand why, and said blankly, “What’s wrong?”

Lin An hugged Xi Ning tightly, felt his body temperature, and let out a breath, “I’ll be fine, don’t do this again in the future.”

Only then did Xi Ning realize what he was talking about, and he still had lingering fears, “Why did that person suddenly attack, I already explained to them clearly.”

“His goal is this tower,” Lin An led Xi Ning inside, “Don’t worry, they can’t get close to here.”

Since the head of the mercenary group chose to cooperate with Qiu Nian, Lin An would not show mercy to his subordinates. If they realize the consequences, they should leave early.

Xi Ning heard the slight sound outside, and vaguely guessed something, “Then they……”

Lin An threw the mask on the table, and said in a gentle tone, “We have already said everything that needs to be said, so there’s no need to waste anymore time with them.”

Xi Ning felt a little uncomfortable thinking about the reaction of those people just now, and nodded silently, “Okay.”

The head of the mercenary group has already led people away from the vicinity of the magic tower. As long as they enter the woods, they will not be within the attack range of the magic tower. The head of the group arranged for people to bandage the injured subordinates and found Qiu Nian with a sullen face.

“What were you doing just now? You did it so hastily, do you know……”

Qiu Nian interrupted the head of the group, “Sorry, I only remember our original agreement was  just to find the magic tower together.”

He stood up, smiled and said, “If you don’t want to do anything, that’s your business.”

The head of the mercenary group was speechless. The people Qiu Nian led were all good fighters. He didn’t want to have any conflict with the other party, so he turned his head and returned to his own team.

Qiu Nian gathered his people again, “Come, let’s discuss how to get in.”

After the head of the mercenary group settled down, they discussed whether to leave.

Although they couldn’t believe what Xi Ning said just now, they all saw Xi Ning’s subconscious reaction when Qiu Nian attacked Lin An.

The dwarf was crying, “No way, does His Highness Elf really like him? I don’t believe it……”

The head of the mercenary group twitched his lips, “Even if he doesn’t like him, he won’t like you either. Why are you so agitated?”

“We should just leave from the start,” a mercenary said, “We have just wasted our effort for nothing.”

Some people did not agree to leave, thinking that Xi Ning was forced, “His Majesty Ferro ordered us to take His Highness Elf back safely before leaving. If this Lin An is not guilty, he can come with us.”

“Come with us? Then you go to persuade him?” The head of the mercenary group glanced at the man, but the head of the mercenary group was more worried about Qiu Nian and his party who came with them.

If they really leave like this, what if Qiu Nian breaks through the magic tower and hurt Xi Ning? The purpose of Xi Ning coming to this ghost forest is because of the Red Frost Flower, he is the queen’s savior.

Ferro paid them a lot. Almost everyone knew that their mercenary group was hired by the king. If something happened to Xi Ning, the reputation of the mercenary group would be bad and it would be worse if Ferro blamed them.

The head of the mercenary group quickly made a decision, and quietly told everyone to keep an eye on Qiu Nian and his group, and take action against them if necessary.

In the evening, the two teams rested separately, and they each arranged night watchmen. When the head of the mercenary group was asleep, he was suddenly awakened by the cold touch on his neck.

He opened his eyes, Qiu Nian squatted beside him with a dagger in his hand, and all the night watchmen around him passed out.

Except for some guards left by Ferro, the members of the mercenary group were all under the head of the mercenary group. Qiu Nian was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people, so he simply made the head of the mercenary group as his hostage and wanted the remaining mercenaries to work for him.

They came here together, and along the way they were fairly familiar with each other. Even though the head of the mercenary group had said to keep an eye on Qiu Nian, the people under him couldn’t take any precautions immediately, allowing Qiu Nian to easily succeed.

The head of the mercenary group regretted that he was too careless, but said calmly, “You want to kill me?”

Qiu Nian smiled and said, “Why would I want to kill you? We don’t have enough manpower. Can you help me?”

Xi Ning was still worried. He went to the attic to check a few times, and found that the head of the mercenary group and the others hadn’t left yet.
