Chapter 67: Priority is reversed.
(Dear book friends, please read on!)
As for Geno and others, they were no longer within her consideration.
In fact, Geno's death was also difficult for her to deal with.
Especially now that the person is dead, there is no way to prove that he came to kidnap me.
In addition, Geno's connections are complicated, and the king has no way to easily convict him unless he can prove that he has indeed made an unforgivable mistake.
If it weren't for this status, he wouldn't have become Alexia's candidate for fiancé. Even if Alexia hated him, she still couldn't refuse this marriage.
So Li De really helped Alexia solve a big problem.
In less than a minute, out of the entrance of the forest trail, Alexia looked around vigilantly.
"No one's here!" Li De couldn't help but speak when he saw Alexia's vigilant look.
"That's good, but how can you be sure?" Alexia asked as she pulled Li De away.
"Magic power can be sensed, okay. As long as you spread your own magic power, you can sense the distribution of magic power around you. See if there is any human-shaped magic power, and then you will know whether there is anyone there." Li De said with a roll of his eyes.
"That's great. Teach me!" Maybe it was because she had gotten rid of her worry, but Alexia was obviously very happy at the moment.
"Why? Go and figure out how to use magic yourself." Li De refused directly.
Moreover, after coming out of the fork in the road, Li De planned to turn around and leave.
"Where are you going?" Alexia asked, hugging Reed's arm.
"Of course you should go back to the dormitory. You should go back by yourself." Li De said.
"That won't work. If you don't send me back, what if someone comes to kidnap me again?" Alexia said.
"Don't worry, I'll be watching from behind and ensure timely rescue for any emergencies. That should be okay, right?" Li De replied, pretending not to understand.
After all, sending Alexia back would mean agreeing that the previous couple contract would continue.
"Absolutely not. Geno died tonight. Do you want to be suspected?" Alexia reminded Li De in a low voice.
"Okay then!" Upon hearing this, Li De did not insist any more, but followed Alexia's strength and followed her up the ramp.
After a while, the two came to the side of the dormitory gate.
"How about coming up and sitting for a while? As long as you don't stay overnight, a normal visit is fine." Alexia invited.
"No!" Li De shook his head.
"Is that so? Then I'll go in first. Thank you for tonight!" After saying that, Alexia kissed Reed on the cheek at lightning speed, then let go of Reed's arm, turned around and trotted into the dormitory.
Li De turned around and left quickly under countless surprised looks.
There's nothing we can do. Too many people in the academy are concerned about the progress of Alexia and Li De's relationship.
Never mind whether this is for the sake of eating melons or for something else.
Almost every day when he came back, Li De could feel the gazes coming from the windows of many rooms above the dormitory.
Li De knew it, so how could Alexia not know it?
She must have known, but she did it.
And that's good!
Yes, that's what Li De thought. After leaving those sights, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. If he really didn't intend to continue his relationship with Alexia, Li De would have rescued people as Shadow.
The previous evasion and attempt to distance oneself from the matter was just a prelude. If you still don't understand, you can learn about the meaning of the phrase "to welcome but to refuse".
This is the difference between Li De and Sid. Sid is a rookie who doesn't understand the feelings of women and only wants to become stronger, but Li De is not like that.
Moreover, maintaining a relationship with Alexia is equivalent to improving Li De's welfare benefits in the academy in disguise.
Why not eat if you have a gigolo?
Isn’t it fragrant?
However, Li De wanted to let Alexia know one thing, that is, the positions of both parties were now reversed, and Li De was the one who took the initiative.
So even if you want to eat, you have to learn from Uncle Da and eat it for free.
As for the issue of engagement that will be faced three years after graduation, isn’t that still too early?
There is no need to think so far now. The only thing Reed needs to do is to clear out the stronghold belonging to Geno first.
Therefore, after leaving the college, Li De immediately returned to the previous forest trail.
If Geno's body is left too close to the academy, it is inevitable that someone will implicate Alexia and Reed.
Even if the outside world thinks it is impossible, it does not necessarily mean that it will not happen, especially if Li De accidentally reveals his strength one day, it is inevitable that someone will connect it to the matter and bring up the old things again.
So Li De still needs Geno to stay away from death, at least not within the academy.
Fortunately, when Reed killed Geno and the people he brought with him, there was almost no noise, so no one on the forest trail noticed anything unusual at this moment.
Furthermore, students returning to the academy generally would not take the long detour through the forest trail unless they needed to find a quiet place to talk about love.
In addition, in the past two weeks, Alexia has basically been taking Li De to walk along the forest trail, so other students in the academy generally don't come here.
After all, I need to greet Alexia when I see her, but because Li De is around, I can't talk to her or try to curry favor with her. If this causes Alexia's disgust, it would be a waste of time.
Therefore, even if Li De sent Alexia back to the dormitory and then went back, no one noticed that several people had died on the forest trail, which gave Li De time to clean up the scene.
He used a magic bag to collect the bodies of Geno and his subordinates, then used water ball magic to clean the ground of the trail. After using purification magic to purify the bloody smell, Reed disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already in the underground sewer.
Using magic to control the slime phantom into the form of shadow, Li De went straight in to kill his way in.
It didn't take long to clear out all the people inside, and then Reed gathered the bodies of Geno and others together and piled them up.
Although this was done to destroy the scene and make it difficult for subsequent investigators to find clues, it gave people a feeling of revenge.
After all, if we add some soil to these corpses and pile up the heads on top of the corpses, it will become a small Jingguan.
After collecting useful information in the base, Reed also found another part of the Eye of Greed in the room belonging to Geno Gulifi.
Without looking at it further, Li De put it away and came to the cell in the deepest part of the stronghold.
