After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 472 - : 359. Couple’s quarrel? Black Eagle Wings unfold
Chapter 472: 359. Couple’s quarrel? Black Eagle Wings unfold
“I didn’t,” Lia said. “I just got hooked on sword training and forgot the time.”
Lin Da sighed.
He just hoped this fellow wouldn’t act impulsively in battle.
Isa was also giving Lia comforting looks, considering Lin Da had hit her yesterday—purely because she asked for it. But Lia brushed it off indifferently, ignoring anyone who spoke to her.
The infuriating look on her face almost gave Lin Da a brain hemorrhage, making him want to hit Abner less and give Lia a thrashing instead.
No wonder he felt no desire for her when they shared a bed in the Great Mystery Continent—it’s because the empire’s law 179 states that it is a crime to sleep with a fool!
...
Perhaps the original character of Lia wasn’t meant to be smart, but distance creates beauty, and players only saw the cool side of Lia, assuming she was a mature character.
Actually, a day with her would reveal — why on earth did I end up breaking the law? Oh, it turns out I slept with a fool.
“I don’t care about the rest, just do well in the competition,” Lin Da glared fiercely at Lia.
Lia: “Hmph.”
The trio’s subtle interactions were all observed by the audience in the front row, each showing a puzzled expression.
Fry, puzzled, thought: Could they be having internal conflicts?
Especially since they’re about to face the top competitor from White Dove City, Abner?
“Celina, you’re a master of psychology, analyze what’s going on,” Fry said.
Fry pushed up his silver-framed glasses, a sly look flickering in his eyes.
It seemed the relationship among these three wasn’t as good as the rumors suggested. If possible, he wanted to see them fall out and even switch sides to Red Heart City!
Wol and Timo also became interested, both turning to look at Celina.
“I think, perhaps…”
Celina held her chin with her hand, observed Lia for a while, and finally decided, saying:
“It’s probably… that Lin Da treats other girls too well, making her feel neglected, which she finds unfair. Those eyebrow-raising and pouting gestures completely confirm my guess.”
“So, you mean, we have a chance to provoke discord, turning the team leader of Snow Goose and Lin Da against each other?”
Fry’s eyes gleamed.
“That’s highly unlikely,” Celina shrugged.
“Huh? Were all those gestures just to confuse us?”
“Fry, what I actually mean is…”
Celina gave him a look as if he were an idiot. This middle-aged elf’s EQ was so low it could barely last a minute compared to his endurance, and other than wasting a bottle of Slime oil, it was completely useless.
Celina sighed and pointed at the three on the stage: “I think, they’re just having a couple’s quarrel.”
Fry: ?
A look of astonishment appeared in the eyes of the middle-aged elf.
“You, what did you say, aren’t they having internal conflicts?”
“Well, I think couple’s quarrels are a type of internal conflict. Look, she just rolled her eyes again and stepped on Lin Da’s toes with her boot.”
Celina’s explanation, like a hand parting the clouds, made Fry suddenly see clearly.

As Lin Da whispered to Lia, the red-haired girl looked sulky yet haughty, and the jealousy in Ice Flower Captain Isa’s eyes…
Wasn’t this exactly a couple’s quarrel?
And it was a three-person couple’s quarrel!
And here he was, thinking it was a great opportunity to instigate trouble… much like when Fry as a child, hearing his dad “beating” his mom and righteously going to break it up, only to be beaten himself by his mom, telling him to go far away.
Fry’s face burned with embarrassment, thinking to himself how he had mistaken the Phoenix Tail Flower Team’s love spat as a good chance for instigation?
Looking at the mocking in Celina’s eyes, Fry felt his composure breaking.
“But… I didn’t expect that, the Young Lady of The Mandalas and a person from White Dove City getting together.”
Celina crossed her long legs, pondering: “I wonder what the Scarlet Adventure Group thinks.”
This event was akin to resources going out of circulation, a melon grown in one’s own field being picked by someone from White Dove City.
Previously, when Lia wasn’t well-known, no one cared, but now, Lia had become an Iron Level adventure team’s captain.
Such a level of team, Red Heart City only has six in total.
Lia’s performance was indeed a slap in the face of the Bloody Baron.
…
On the Arena, Lin Da was the only one worried that Lia would mess things up.
He was purely over-worried, seeing Lia as a giant baby. In reality, for an adventurer who cares greatly about her reputation like Lia, how could she possibly give up such an important competition?
Journalists from Adventurer’s Weekly were hiding in the audience, and Lia would love for them to see her martial prowess, making headlines to boast.
If Lin Da asked her not to, she would be even more eager to do it.
It was Lin Da’s frantic behavior that made Lia smile, finding it quite amusing, so she continued to act aloof, ignoring Lin Da.
“Next up is the fourth contestant, ‘Mind’s Eye,’ Abner!”
In Kami’s excited voice, a blue figure quietly appeared on the stage.
Like a leaf stirred by a breeze, silently settling down.
A tangible sense of oppression spread silently.
Lin Da and the others instinctively activated the magic circuits within their bodies.
“You are all excellent adventurers, but… I will win,” Abner said, opening his eyes calmly.
Those were a pair of azure, crystal-clear eyes, like gems. Abner had two strands of long hair hanging over his forehead, a long ponytail reaching his buttocks, and a katana, its hilt wrapped in black cloth, inserted at his waist.
Unsheathed, but the strong magical aura was undeniable, causing Lin Da’s skin to feel a slight sting.
