Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"It's impossible to say I have no interest."

Lin Xuan took a sip of her drink with relish, although drinking soda seemed a little inappropriate in this setting.

"Then why don't you want it?"

"If this Genesect were wild, I would definitely be very interested in catching it. After all, even as an ordinary battle Pokémon, it is very powerful. But... there is an old saying in China: there is no such thing as a free lunch."

Areta shrugged and then stated his purpose.

"Mainly because... my family asked me to come here and find out what's going on."

"what's the situation?"

Lin Xuan thought it was nothing more than some things about Pokémon and training. To be fair, Areta was quite honest, telling him directly.

But Lin Xuan soon lost her composure.

"Let me see if you're still single as people say."

Lin Xuan: ...

Lin Xuan choked on her cola.

Why would they care about something like this?

"It's nothing much. I have a younger sister who's quite pretty, and... you know, in the eyes of those old guys, marriage is an important part of maintaining a relationship, and judging from the potential you've shown, it's totally worth it for them to do so."

Lin Xuan really wanted to complain, "Is this some kind of trashy urban fantasy novel's development path?"

"So why did you say it so directly?"

"Nonsense! My sister is still a minor! Although you seem like a decent kid."

Areta touched his chin and said something, and then Lin Xuan couldn't hold back anymore.

"Okay, let's move on to the next topic."

Lin Xuan really didn't want to continue talking about this, so she quickly changed the subject.

"That matter isn't urgent. I'll be going back in a couple of days. Will you come with me?"

"Yeah, otherwise I might get lost if I go there by myself."

Lin Xuan yawned and then said.

"Not taking anyone else?"

A strange light seemed to flash in Areta's eyes, which puzzled Lin Xuan.

"The others? It must be just me, right?"

"That's her! The girl in your team named... Bai Yao, right? Aren't you going with her?"

Lin Xuan realized that beneath his cool exterior, this guy was quite the gossip!

"Never mind! We'll deal with it later!"

Lin Xuan took a sip of water, feeling a little guilty.

The main issue is that this matter is difficult to discuss, because when Bai Yao and the others learned that Lin Xuan was going to the Liming Group, they also expressed their desire to go and have some fun together.

That's right, not just Bai Yao, but also Zhong Mingyi and the others.

Especially Zhong Mingyi, who recently got a break from the league after the World Championships ended, so he's definitely going to have some fun.

Otherwise, who knows when the next holiday will be?

This is the tragedy of a gym leader.

After learning about this, Lin Xuan decided that no matter what his advisor said to him, he would never become a dojo master.

In fact, Lin Xuan has heard some things from the league recently.

The previous dojos had developed quite well, and the league was quite optimistic about the dojo system, and was setting up dojos in several other cities and selecting dojo masters.

Logically speaking, given Lin Xuan's current abilities, it should be quite easy for her to get a spot if she really wanted one.

But in Lin Xuan's eyes... anyone who sits in that position is an idiot!

However, Lin Xuan's words clearly did not dispel Aretta's thoughts.

Although he doesn't have the aura power or superpowers of Lin Xuan, he is still very accurate in guessing other people's thoughts. His main strength lies in his ability to read people's expressions.

So I knew there must be something wrong here.

But Lin Xuan was vehemently denying it... so there was nothing he could do. However, his main task was to take Lin Xuan back. As for the rest... it was just something that some people forced upon him. There were some things he was actually unwilling to do.

However, as the eldest son of the Dawn Group, he is sometimes not in control of his own destiny.

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, she quickly returned to the athletes' village, where many people had already started packing their things.

For example, Cheng Si has to go home. As for staying here for a couple more days... everyone has basically done everything they could in the past few days, so there's not much point in staying here.

Although this place is indeed a hub of diverse cultures, where you can see a lot of cultures from various countries, after staying here for so long... I should probably go home.

So basically everyone started packing their things, but it was definitely arranged by the alliance, unless there were special circumstances.

Like Lin Xuan and the others, Lin Xuan still had her arms crossed over her chest as she looked at Zhong Mingyi.

It's understandable that Bai Yao wanted to go out with him, but Zhong Mingyi...

"What are you looking at me for?"

Zhong Ming touched his nose, feeling a little awkward being stared at like that by Lin Xuan.

"It's nothing, it's just that you're usually a workaholic, so why are you thinking of taking a day off today?"

Lin Xuan was quite skeptical of this, but Zhong Mingyi scoffed at it.

Do you like going to work?

Lin Xuan didn't know how to answer for a moment. Although she usually seemed to have a lot of free time, she still had to help out at the research institute from time to time when she was in Jianghai City.

However, because Lin Xuan is both a researcher and a trainer, the research institute, or rather Dr. Sun Siming's side, is quite lenient with Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan spends relatively little time at the research institute.

Therefore, Lin Xuan didn't really have much of a concept of this, but she could roughly sense Zhong Mingyi's resentment at this moment.

Well, this guy is probably just a little tired from work, plus the recent competitions have put him under a lot of pressure, even though everyone is relatively relaxed.

That is, I could only completely relax when I actually won the championship.

Lin Xuan had asked Cheng Si and the others if they wanted to go together, but they all declined.

Lin Xuan's idea was that perhaps it could be treated like a vacation, with everyone going out to have some fun.

After spending some time together recently, we've all become quite familiar with each other.

But both Cheng Si and Chu Jingyun said they needed to go back because there were some things to take care of.

The only one who's really free is Zhang Shouqing, but his personality... well, let's not even go into details. Letting him go out and have fun?

He preferred to stay home and sleep, so he declined, leaving only the classic trio of Lin Xuan, Zhong Mingyi, and Bai Yao.

However, because of what Lin Xuan said earlier, Zhong Mingyi thought that many people would go this time, but he didn't expect that he would be the only one left in the end.

So much so that when they were finally setting off, Zhong Mingyi cautiously leaned close to Lin Xuan and whispered:

"If you think I'm in your way, just say so!"

Zhong Ming was worried that he might become a third wheel, since he originally thought there would be plenty of third wheels and he wouldn't have to worry about being one more.

But when I turned around, I realized I was all alone.

Lin Xuan kicked him directly, but Zhong Ming dodged it in an instant. At that moment, Areta also walked over.

After approaching the three, he first smiled at Lin Xuan, and then greeted Zhong Mingyi and Bai Yao.

He glanced at Lin Xuan one last time, his eyes seemingly holding a special meaning.

Lin Xuan understood instantly—didn't she say she was going herself?

But before Lin Xuan could speak, Areta greeted the two of them first.

"Should it be okay if the two of us come along?"

Zhong Ming smiled and said that besides genuinely wanting to go and have some fun, he also had another reason for coming along—

The situation with the Dawn Group is rather special. Even with Lin Xuan's strength, the alliance is still somewhat uneasy about him going there alone. So they sent Zhong Mingyi along so that he could handle any situation that might arise.

Another point is... Lin Xuan is still relatively young, so if something happens, he still needs to be in charge... Although in Zhong Mingyi's mind, Lin Xuan is very shrewd, and if someone tries to trick him, he can only laugh it off.

However, for the sake of his vacation, Zhong Mingyi didn't explain this and just followed along.

"Of course, no problem. Our Dawn Group is very happy to welcome you both."

Areta had some guesses about why Zhong Mingyi had followed, but as for Bai Yao next to Lin Xuan…

Bai Yao was yawning, carrying her suitcase. Getting up so early wasn't a pleasant experience, but it was all Lin Xuan's fault. He had spent the whole night making her play games.

But since this guy is a waveguide user, he still looks quite energetic, so Bai Yao can only sleep on the plane.

"The three of you, please come in. Our Dawn Group has arranged a private jet for you."

Areta greeted the three, saying that Dawn Group was indeed very thoughtful in this regard, but Lin Xuan still vaguely felt that there might be some involvement from the United Alliance.

However, it seems there is no difference between them. According to Lin Xuan and his group's understanding, the Dawn Group still has a lot of influence in the United Alliance.

"Then I won't disturb you three any longer. It should take another ten hours to reach our destination, so please get some rest during this time."
