“The stats of Rare equipment look so satisfying.”

Lin Ye now had enough game currency to repay his debt, so he didn’t need to sell his equipment. He just had to go back and turn in the quest.

“Alright, let’s head back.”

Su Wanting softly hummed in agreement and quietly followed behind him.

They returned to Newbie Village.

Bai Shuya and Yan Yan were huddled together, discussing something intensely.

“Look, the older sisters are over there.”

Su Wanting, in her excitement, instinctively grabbed Lin Ye’s hand and ran over.

“I don’t think this one looks like him.”

“No, that gaze is too lewd, it’s definitely not him.”

Xia Mo, standing by, said exasperatedly, “My two older sisters, are you looking for a partner or investigating a case?”

“It’s the same thing,” Yan Yan replied earnestly. “If I don’t feel anything for a man, it’s definitely not him!”

Huh?

Is that even possible?

Xia Mo scratched her head vigorously. “Excuse me, have you ever considered that he might have changed his appearance on purpose, so he wouldn’t look like himself?”

“Hmph!”

Yan Yan was a little annoyed.

“Do you think I’m someone who only looks atAppearance?”

“Feeling? Do you understand?”

“Sigh… What am I even saying to a tomboy like you~”

She turned her head.

Bai Shuya suddenly locked onto a target. “Come on, come on, see if you get a feeling from this one.”

With just one glance, Yan Yan was immediately drawn in.

She looked closer.

“Hmm, he’s trimmed his eyebrows, his eye corners, and his face shape has been deliberately changed quite a bit. His aura has shifted, but that gaze can’t be wrong, and the feeling is right. It’s him!”

That fast?

Xia Mo immediately leaned in to peek.

“Lin Ye?”

“Hmm, if you put it that way, there’s a three-tenths resemblance, and he’s just as annoying as he is!”

Pfft~

Bai Shuya suddenly let out a soft laugh. “So Xiaomomo has intuition too, huh? Not bad. Now that two of us have locked on, and I feel it’s right too, then it should be him!”

“Lin Ye?”

“Hmph, this empress wants to see how you’ll escape my grasp~!”

Pfft~

Lin Ye, listening nearby, almost vomited blood.

What’s going on?

Is the appearance I deliberately changed made of paper?

Exposed in just a few minutes.

No…

Is there something fishy going on here?

He immediately shot a glare at his side.

“Su Wanting, did you recognize me?!”

What?

Su Wanting froze, her eyes filled with confusion. “Me… recognize you? No, I didn’t?”

Although the School Beauty’s eyes were incredibly pure and clear.

But now.

Lin Ye really couldn’t find any other possibility besides her.

“If you didn’t recognize me, then how did they know who I am?”

Them?

Su Wanting looked at her older sisters, then at Lin Ye. “Even I don’t know, how could the older sisters…?”

Pfft~

Bai Shuya watched the two confronting each other and couldn’t hold back. She immediately clutched her stomach, giggling incessantly.

Yan Yan’s eyes were fixed on Lin Ye, surprise mixed with delight.

“Hmm, I knew I hadn’t seen wrong.”

Xia Mo was defeated.

She immediately gave a thumbs up.

“Impressive, truly impressive. I’m genuinely convinced.”

“Just one glance, one look, and you can guess his age isn’t old, and he might even know Wan Ting. She can even recognize his true form after he changed his appearance with just one look. It’s truly amazing, I want to learn~”

Is that real or fake?

“Excuse me, is your esteemed name Di Renjie or Sherlock Holmes?” Lin Ye asked incredulously.

Yan Yan, however, smiled faintly and stepped forward, taking Lin Ye’s arm. “Let’s go, this isn’t the place to talk. How about we go to the tavern and chat slowly?”

……

All the way there.

Lin Ye was dizzy.

He drank some of the tavern’s dark ale, and after hearing their explanation, he felt even dizzier.

Guessing his age based solely on feeling, then investigating Sea State University because Su Wanting was in his party, and then being able to pinpoint his identity within minutes.

Is that logical?

That’s too absurd!

Unless you’re named Sherlock Holmes and understand deductive reasoning, it’s very hard for me to believe.

“If, and I mean if, I hadn’t teamed up with Su Wanting just now, would you have been able to find me?”

Yan Yan nodded affirmatively without any hesitation.

“Finding someone is difficult, but finding someone you’ve seen is very simple.”

“You must have been assigned to a random Newbie Village, right?”

“Although it’s called random, it’s highly probable that people from the same region are grouped together. Wan Ting was also random, and we came to find her. So, in terms of location, you and Wan Ting must be close. Therefore, starting the search for university students from Sea State, we would definitely start with the nearest Sea State University. The timing should be about right.”

My goodness?

She really is Sherlock Holmes!

Lin Ye rubbed his temples. “If it’s convenient, you can help me keep it a secret, right?”

Yan Yan’s warm hand covered Lin Ye’s, and she said softly, “Don’t worry, trust your older sister. I won’t allow anyone outside of today’s group to know your information.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Shuya’s delicate body trembled slightly.

She knew her sister was very capable, but she had never seen her in a relationship.

She hadn’t expected it.

The moment she made a move, she was already at the peak of this level.

“Okay, I believe you.”

Lin Ye, of course, could only believe her. If he said he didn’t believe her now, wouldn’t he be waiting to be exposed?

“Then… are you free tonight?” Yan Yan’s beautiful eyes sparkled, with a hint of slyness as she asked, “University students don’t have many classes now, do they? At 7 PM tonight, I’ll pick you up at school. It’s settled then, okay?”

Lin Ye glanced at Su Wanting. Could he bluff his way out by saying he still had evening self-study at school?

Forget it.

There was nothing wrong with being sincere.

After all, he didn’t have much money to be tricked out of, as long as his talent wasn’t exposed. He then nodded.

“No problem.”

Yan Yan got a satisfactory answer, and the smile on her lips grew wider.

Bai Shuya saw that her hand was still unwilling to let go and quickly pulled it back discreetly.

“Ahem, it’s still early. What are your plans?”

Lin Ye took a deep breath, finally organizing his thoughts.

“First, I’ll turn in a quest, then I’ll do advanced training. After that, I’ll probably leave Newbie Village.”

Bai Shuya blinked, surprised. “You’re Level 10?”

“Almost, almost~”

Lin Ye realized he had misspoken and quickly tried to cover it up.

But Su Wanting, on the side, opened her party panel. “No, I just saw you were Level 10…”

Uh…

Lin Ye looked at Bai Shuya and Yan Yan opposite him, barely maintaining his composure. “Hmm, it must be because I leveled up too fast and didn’t notice.”

Whether they believed him or not, this was all he could do.

Pfft~

Bai Shuya and Yan Yan exchanged a smile, as if they had never laughed so happily in their lives.

Ahem~

Bai Shuya laughed for a while before finally managing to compose herself. “Lin… oh no, Demon Lord, please rest assured, we will absolutely not inquire about your affairs. There’s no need to be nervous.”

Yan Yan’s beautiful eyes flowed with adoration, and she covered her chest, worshipping, “Yes, yes, Demon Lord is our supreme master. All your information is an eternal secret in our hearts. We will absolutely not reveal even a single word to outsiders~”

Pfft~

Hahahahaha!

Xia Mo was the first to burst into uncontrollable laughter.

Only Su Wanting wasn’t laughing, but seeing her face flushed red from holding it in, looking so uncomfortable, she was probably close to her limit too.

“Goodbye.”

Lin Ye got up and left.

“Demon Lord, will you be back later?” Yan Yan quickly stood up and asked.

“Yes, I’ll be right back.”

Lin Ye said through gritted teeth and went out to the blacksmith’s shop to turn in the quest.

【Ding~ Quest completed!】

Lin Ye checked his equipment and found no accessories, so he could only choose a weapon, with double the quality.

【Ding~】

【You have obtained the wailing string harp!】

Lin Ye took it in his hand and was immediately captivated by its shimmering golden luster.

“Golden Legendary?!”
