The Legendary Trainer of the Elven World

Inside the cave——

Looking at Cang Wu who bowed and apologized to him, Ximu didn't feel happy about getting the answer on his face, but still frowned, feeling something was wrong in his heart.

And something is very wrong!

Although the tone of Cang Wu's speech now is very similar to the tone of speech in the underground base, there is no difference at all or there is not much difference.

And even if I do something wrong, I will apologize immediately as before.

But Ximu felt a sense of dissonance in his heart. He always felt that compared to when Cang Wu was in the underground base of the Shadow Group... his whole person had undergone some subtle changes.

As for the specific changes...

Ximu couldn't tell at this time.

But that's enough.

Although he didn't know what specific changes had taken place in Cang Wu, no matter what, it couldn't stop him from becoming wary of Cang Wu.

As for being wary of your friends...

Do not--

He doesn't regard Cang Wu as a true friend yet, so even if he is full of doubts about Cang Wu, he won't feel the slightest guilt.

However, although he thought so in his heart, Ximu's face did not show any change. Instead, like ordinary people, his face showed a look of sudden realization after getting the answer. Then he waved his hand and said aloud:

"What are you doing? I don't mean to blame you, I'm just curious."

While saying this, Ximu walked to Cang Wu and stretched out his hand to help him up.

"Thank you."

Cang Wu smiled and thanked Ximu, as if he was thanking Ximu for forgiving him.

Ximu didn't speak, just nodded.

Although he now wishes that Cang Wu would disappear right before his eyes, looking at Cang Wu like this...

Ximu also knew that it was impossible.

but--

Ximu still decided to urge Cang Wu. After all, Cang Wu being here would be a trouble for him.

"Cang Wu, what are your plans next?"

Xi Mu asked with a smile on his face.

"What's next..."

Cang Wu muttered to himself after hearing this, then raised his head and said with a smile on his face:

"I'm ready to escape from the Trial Island!"

"what!?"

Ximu was immediately shocked by what Cang Wu said.

Escape from Trial Island? !

Hey hey——

No kidding! ?

"What, Ximu, don't you believe it?"

Looking at Ximu who looked in disbelief, Cang Wu's expression remained unchanged and he asked.

Of course I don't believe it!

Who would believe such a thing!

Ximu replied silently in his heart.

However, on the surface, Ximu still pretended to be panicked and said seriously:

"Cang Wu, this joke is not funny. You have to know that as reserve members, we carry the hope of reviving the Shadow Group in the future. I don't want you to make fun of this kind of thing!"

Ximu's tone was extremely serious, and there was even a hint of anger in it, as if Cang Wu's words had touched the back of his heart.

"Isn't it funny?"

After hearing Ximu's words, Cang Wu's expression remained unchanged. Looking at the serious Ximu, a playful smile appeared on his face and he said:

"But I remember... Ximu, aren't you also planning to escape from the Shadow Group?"

"It's impossible!"

After hearing what Cang Wu said, Ximu directly denied it.

Then a stern look appeared on his face and he said: "I have already made preparations to sacrifice myself for the revival of the Shadow Group, so I will never betray the Shadow Group. I hope you won't talk nonsense!"

"No no no~"

Hearing Ximu's words, Cang Wu shook his head, still smiling, and said:

"You don't have to quibble. When we were in the underground base... I heard everything."

"!!!!!!"

Cang Wu's words struck Xi Mu like a bolt of lightning. Xi Mu's face became serious. He looked at Cang Wu in front of him and asked:

"That's when you heard it?!"

that time--

It refers to the time in the underground base of the Shadow Group.

........................

That day, he was in the training ground in the underground base thinking about when he would escape after landing on the trial island.

But he has a bad habit, that is, when he is thinking about a problem, he will unconsciously speak out. Although the voice is very low, others cannot hear it.

And he also knew that this habit was very bad, and he also thought about changing it.

But every time he thought about the problem, he couldn't help but murmur.

And on that day, when he turned around after thinking about it, he found Cang Wu standing behind him.

and--

He was not sure whether Cang Wu heard his plan.

Although I asked Cang Wu later when he came, Cang Wu's answer was no problem.

"I just got here."

Although he still had some doubts in his heart, because there was no evidence, no accidents happened afterward, and the newbie trial was coming, he slowly put this matter behind him.

But now it seems...

Cang Wu must have heard what he said that day!

..............................

Deep in the cave, sitting next to the extinguished fire, Ximu looked at the smiling Cang Wu opposite, and his vigilance had reached its peak.

At the same time, Ximu still felt some regret in his heart. This was regret for not making up his mind to change his bad habits.

If he had changed this bad habit early, Cang Wu would not have heard him thinking about things, and what happened today would not have happened.

But Ximu also knew that it was useless no matter how much he regretted it at this time. After all, things had happened, and it was useless to make up his mind now.

but……

Recalling what Cang Wu said before, Ximu was very confused.

Because according to Cang Wu himself, he also wanted to take advantage of this trial opportunity to escape from the trial island.

But the consequences of doing so are equivalent to completely betraying the Shadow Group.

Ximu didn't understand why Cang Wu did this.

After all, for people like them, the Shadow Group is a very good organization.

Not only were they given free food and drink, but an elf was also given away for free. Although the usual training was a bit hard, the Shadow Team did not force him to do so.

certainly--

Ximu also knew that even without the pressure of the Shadow Group, basically everyone would train desperately, because the results of several trials were there.

If you don't want to be "eaten" by the smelly mud, you must train hard before the next trial.

Having said that, apart from the fact that you will be "eaten" if you fail, for now, Ximu really can't think of the reason why Cangwu would betray the Shadow Group.

Because for now, the Shadow Group has not revealed much purpose. When they are in the underground base, except for a few trials, these preliminary members are still very free.

Except for very serious fights or a few things that are explicitly prohibited, these people can do whatever they want in the underground base, and the Shadow Team will not stop them.

Off topic: I don’t know if any book friends have this bad habit, but I do (crying).
