Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 326: The Resolve to Continue On

TN: Sorry, technical difficulties with the novel site for the raws, so Tuesday chapter was delayed. Next chapter will be posted tomorrow night.

Under Yao Zis lead, Xiao Tian walked up to Lin Xiao, and although he looked reluctant, he still obediently apologized.

Brother Xiao you helped us so much before and I still havent had the chance to thank you um I-Im not great with words so dont get angry Ill listen to you while were a team um

Hurry up! You, really Lin Xiao, my little brother is a good kid, hes just a bit headstrong, Ill definitely watch him properly from now on!

Unlike Xiao Tian, Yao Zi looked earnestly at Lin Xiao and her words were filled with sincerity.

Lin Xiao helplessly smiled and shook his head.

He was never angry, but as someone with experience, he saw through Lin Tian.

His youthful indiscretions, his delusions, fickle and impatient, those were his weaknesses, but there was no doubt he also had strengths, like his diligence and bravery, using his life to protect his beloved sister, it was touching, however

He went off track.

He was diligent and brave like that righteous prince, but Caesar was more like an advocate of justice striding forward on a bright and straight path, receiving praise from others. Lin Tian had a touch more of wickedness, and could only struggle to climb a rugged path and end up full of injuries.

Perhaps this was due to the environment they grew up in.

Lin Tian didnt grow up in a noble household like Caesar, he was a commoner, his parents died early and his sister spoiled him so no one really kept him under control. Although he wasnt a bad person, after a while this lead to his current irreverent and impetuous personality.

From Lin Xiaos standpoint, all Xiao Tian was lacking was a older brother to teach him a lesson, or more simply

This kid needed a good beating!

If Lin Xiao could bring him to Loran Academy someday and get him to train a few days with that Momm, hell definitely become more obedient.

Xiao Tian, I dont need your apology and you have no need to apologize. As long as you dont cause any trouble and listen to me, you wont regret it and also, Yao Zi, I hope that you can care for your brother more and dont just pamper him all the time.

Hm do I? Yao Zi stared at her brother, still not realizing how much she pampered him.

Anyways, lets do our best for this mission. Lin Xiao didnt say much and patted Xiao Tians head, and lectured him softly like an older brother, Lin Tian, remember this, you dont have to seize every single opportunity, especially not through deception, dont forget about the people important to you we have to walk the righteous path, even if its just for your sister, you cant lose yourself.

Oh, o-okay

Xiao Tian and his sister looked at each other, neither understanding what kind of deeper meaning his words contained and just took it like a normal lecture, nodded and acknowledged it.

But none of them knew, not even Lin Xiao could have expected it, his words became a prophecy that foresaw an unfortunate event

Even though Lin Xiao may have more experience than them, he was just a normal person, he wasnt a god, he couldnt cover all aspects and help this pair of siblings resolve their problems.

He just simply saw the conflict that had yet to happen from them.

Perhaps this was just fate.

If Yao Zi didnt have the wizards bloodline, and Lin Tian wasnt so lucky, the two of them were just magicians that were slightly better than average. Even if his sister pampered him and the brother focused only on climbing up, they still wouldnt get too far, so naturally they wouldnt fall too far either. So when that day comes and they hit the wall and get hurt, theyll naturally come to learn the difficulty of life and go back to their own peaceful lives.

But the world is unpredictable, Lin Tian was luckily able to become an investigator and take an S rank mission. And Yao Zi was somehow able to get the wizards bloodline and became watched by various powers.

To others, this was their good luck, but was it actually a good thing?

Not necessarily.

From an objective viewpoint, this good luck forced them onto a path that they didnt belong on, and once on, they had no way of going back.

Sigh, what the hell am I thinking about Lin Xiao laughed at himself.

He didnt understand why he cared so much about them, perhaps it was simply he didnt want to harm them.

Lin Xiao teaming up with them seemed to be a good thing, but in the end, who really knows what will happen?

It didnt matter what Lin Xiao thought, his and Elenas souls were already bound, no matter who the enemy was or however strong they were, he wouldnt retreat. He had to help Elena solve her problem no matter what, this was the path he chose.

Not just a strong enemy, Lin Xiao was already prepared to make the world his enemy, that was his resolve. No matter how lazy he was, for that person waiting for him, he was willing to continue on, until the end.

But Yao Zi and Lin Tian werent like that, because they had no one waiting for them. To them, the person worth waiting for wasnt far away, they were right beside them, they just hadnt realized it yet

Yawn Im still a bit tired, but we have to hurry up!

Lin Xiao stretched without thinking too much about it anymore and lead everyone towards the gate.

Rather than the idiot siblings, he would much rather go find that person and give her a surprise! Otherwise, his plan to wake up early would have been a waste.

Lin Xiao and them walked out of the gates, and after a while, they saw a slender girl in the distance.

He finally met that person again, the person waiting for him at the end.
