Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 342: Compromise

With Carmen teleported next to Xu Feng, she somehow realized the pressure that she had been receiving, disappeared.

Astonished, she didnʼt even bat an eyelid on Yaren and turned her attention to Xu Feng.

”Are you okay, Guild Leader?” She asked in concern, retrieving a health potion and helping him drink it.

Since they were still in the guild team that Xu Feng invited her for the glitch exp, she was able to see Xu Fengʼs mana bar had been zeroed out. Hence, he couldnʼt even use his skill to heal himself even if he wanted to.

As for why Xu Feng wasnʼt able to retrieve a health potion to consume, even an idiot could tell he couldnʼt move a muscle.

Other people were struggling to move, and she had to surpass her limit to move, so how could Xu Feng move when he was directly confronted and targeted by Yarenʼs murderous aura?

After consuming the health potion, Xu Feng smiled bitterly at Carmen.

He didnʼt blame her for assisting him and was actually grateful for her willingness to side with him despite the circumstances.

However, her intervention had kind of ruined his initial plan.

”I thought you would be resisting for longer, but it seems like your luck in being a companion is amazing.” Yaren retracted her murderous aura, returning the stage back to normal.

”Sheʼs Lunar Wraith and a valuable companion of mine.” Xu Feng took a step forward, shielding Carmen from Yaren.

”Iʼm sure you know I can resist longer, but only the outcome matters.” He added, wiping off some of the blood.

”So youʼre not even going to argue with me about it?” Yaren mused and teleported.

The next moment, she appeared behind Carmen and immobilized her. ”Are you not going to blame her for ruining your supposed resistance? As long as you agree to blame her, then Iʼll take a step back and agree to your condition.”

Carmenʼs eyes widened in shock when she heard her words.

However, aside from her eyes being able to move, her other limbs remained motionless. No matter how much she tried to exert her strength or mana to move, it was futile.

Meanwhile, Yaren was relishing the scene and smiled at Carmen.

”Do you think your Guild Leader will blame you or not?” She asked softly.

Carmen rolled her eyes, clearly not going to entertain her craziness.

Nodding, Yaren turned her attention to Xu Feng. ”So long as you blame your companion, the first-place reward goes to you and you will not need to undergo any test. Also, regarding your condition from earlier, I will agree to it. If you think Iʼm messing with you, we can establish a contract on the spot. This is my biggest compromise to date yet!”

”What??!”

”Is this for real? Why couldnʼt this opportunity be mine?”

”Elder Yaren is actually being this generous? It should have been me!”

Before Xu Feng could even respond, the audience who finally regained their composure were thoroughly stunned by Yarenʼs declaration.

Clearly, all of them would have agreed instantaneously on the spot.

Much less mention them, even Razor and Brutus were tempted to blame Carmen for her rude interruption.

ʼIs he really going to blame his companion though?ʼ Crimson Heart, who had been sidelined from the start, was glancing at Xu Feng from afar. She was curious about what Xu Feng would choose under such a proposal.

Almost all eyes were now staring at Xu Feng directly except for Carmen.

Yaren was truly despicable in ensuring Carmen could not gaze at Xu Feng, and she even went as far as covering Carmenʼs ears with her mana.

That way, Carmen was technically blind and deaf regardless of the decision Xu Feng might make.

”So what is your decision, Lin Feng?” Yaren asked again, but this time, she constructed a contract on the spot using mana.

A few seconds later, the contract was sent to Xu Feng.

He browsed the contract briefly, and sure enough, everything was listed exactly what they had mentioned earlier, with Yarenʼs signature on the bottom.

All Xu Feng needed to do was put his own signature and the contract would be in effect.

He held the contract with his hand and then gazed at Yaren. ”Iʼm not the type to do a cowardly act, so thereʼs no need to make my companion temporarily deaf. You can turn her around and let her listen.”

An amused expression appeared on Yarenʼs face.

”Very well,” she agreed with his suggestion and allowed Carmen to witness this sensation.

Contrary to what others might have thought, Carmen didnʼt hold any sign of panic. In fact, she was rather calm, almost as if she couldnʼt be bothered with the situation.

”Oh, are you not afraid your guild leader will blame you?” Yaren smiled softly. ”He simply needs to blame you and I will free you. All the other rewards mentioned would also be granted simultaneously. So shouldnʼt you agree that this fault was yours?”

”Youʼre trying to cause a rift between us, and I must applaud you, Elder Yaren.” Carmen softly spoke before shaking her head. Stay connected through empire

”But one thing you still donʼt understand is the fact that my guild leader will never bend his back to the likes of you.” She sneered coldly.

And precisely at that moment, Xu Feng laughed loudly.

”Ah, you really had to ruin my moment?” He complained before ripping the contract apart. ”I was cooking up an amazing dialogue but then you had to steal the spotlight.”

”Stop lying, Guild Leader.” Carmen rolled her eyes at him.

”Had you wanted the spotlight, then you would have done it from the start. But you just wanted to test if I have any confidence in you. Hmph, I canʼt believe you would do this kind of thing. I expect a massive compensation later on.” She pouted, but anyone with discerning eyes and ears could tell the two were teasing each other.

Meanwhile, the most annoyed person was none other than Yaren.

Not only did she fail to cause a rift, but she even made a fool of herself.

”The galls of the two of you!” She shouted coldly and suddenly snapped her fingers. Soon, she, Carmen, and Xu Feng vanished from the stage, leaving everyone else confused and dumbfounded.
