The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

"Li Xuan!?"

"When did he go there?"

"How can this be!?"

Li Xuan passed by Fumini who had fainted on the ground and came to the Shadow Wolf who had lost its breath.

After firing three more shots with a pistol with a silencer, Li Xuan finally felt relieved.

At this time, Isandor, Lao Wang and others also rushed over.

Ai Ling helped Fumini up and frowned at the bewildered Isendor, saying, "I've said before that it's not appropriate to go to a more dangerous place now."

Isendor retorted, "It's all his fault! That's right, it's him! The monster he attracted was obviously too powerful, otherwise my sister wouldn't have..."

"Enough! If you are a greenhorn, just practice more. Do you think you can survive by shirking your responsibilities on the battlefield? As a transcendent, you should pay the price for your decision! If it weren't for Li Xuan, would your sister still be standing here intact now?" Old Wang scolded.

Isendor simply couldn't listen. He only wanted to shirk his own problems. "Aren't you the bodyguards for this tour? It's your responsibility to protect us!"

Perhaps Isandor has forgotten the reactions of Lao Wang and others when he first saw them.

Li Xuan just watched quietly without any expression.

Finally, Ai Ling interrupted their argument, "Now that Fumini has lost her ability to fight, do you, a psychic, still want to continue?"

"I..." Isandor knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to argue any further.

In the end, everyone followed Ai Ling's advice and returned the same way.

On the way, Hawkeye and other team members praised Li Xuan.

"Brother Li Xuan, I have to say you are really amazing. You were able to come to the Shadow Wolf quietly!"

"Yes, I guess Li Xiaoyou was at..."

Lao Wang: "Ahem, okay, thanks to Li Xuan, we didn't suffer any casualties this time. Oh, and keep that Phantom Wolf crystal. That's the rule!"

On the way, Fumini, who was carried by Ai Ling, woke up slowly. After seeing the person carrying her, she rubbed her face towards Ai Ling.

"Sister Ai Ling, did you save me? Woohoo~ I'm so touched..."

Ai Ling said with a look of disgust: "Since you are awake, just come down and walk by yourself. Also, the one who saved you was not me, but the Qiongguang Mercenary Group."

Fumini turned to look at Team Lao Wang and said in surprise, "Thank you so much for this. I'll ask Dad to give you more money when I get back!"

When Lao Wang heard about the extra pay, he immediately replied with a smile on his face: "Oh, miss, what are you talking about? Protecting our employers is our duty. A pay increase is just a token of our appreciation!"

Isendor said unhappily: "Fumini, you..."

Fumini immediately retorted, "This time it's all my brother's fault. He has no idea of his own strength and has always been obsessed with defeating the enemy without taking any damage. If you had been more decisive today, this shadow wolf would have been dead long ago!"

Isandor simply turned his head away, not wanting to pay any attention to his sister who sided with outsiders.

Soon, because Fumini was too noisy, Ai Ling put her down and let her walk by herself.

Gradually, the place where they were fell into darkness, just as they entered the gathering place.

The gate of the gathering place at this time was completely different from when they set out. Not only was it surrounded by obstacles, but there were also more guards.

These people in charge of guarding are full of vigor and momentum. It is obvious that they are people with rich combat experience and strong fighting ability.

After verifying their identities, everyone was allowed to enter the gathering place.

Although the monsters have not actively attacked the human gathering places for a long time, the initial lessons taught the people here that being prepared will always make them more calm when encountering danger than being unprepared.

Unlike the darkness outside, the gathering place is brightly lit, with people coming and going, and it is very lively.

Street vendors are still selling all kinds of items.

"Freshly extracted first-level demon crystals, selling at a low price!"

"Materials for fifth-level monsters, first come, first served! First come, first served!"

"Third-order insect crystal..."

Hearing about insect crystals, Li Xuan looked towards the vendor's location curiously.

Ai Ling said to everyone, "Now that we've arrived at the gathering place, it's basically safe. Normally, no monsters will attack this gathering place. So everyone can move around freely for a while and look at the stalls to see if there's anything they want to buy."

"As for you two, I think you should think carefully about how to explain what happened today to your uncle and aunt!" Ai Ling said seriously.

Fumini immediately put on a weak face and said coquettishly, "Sister Ai Ling, can you please not tell our parents? Aren't we fine?"

Isendor snorted, "What a waste of time!"

"What do you mean by 'nothing'? You were nearly killed by the Shadow Wolves! Putting aside your common flaw, you have no sense of restraint in combat, unleashing every skill at once. Just you, for one, only know how to fight without taking damage. You have no combat experience or ability to react on the spot!"

Ai Ling pointed at their noses and scolded them.

The two of them seemed to have met their natural enemy and did not dare to refute at all.

Li Xuan saw Ai Ling educating the brother and sister. After greeting Lao Wang, he walked to the stall selling insect crystals.

The stall owner was a bearded uncle with a weathered face. It was obvious that he had a complicated life.

"How much is this insect crystal?"

The old man took a look at Li Xuan. After seeing his full appearance, he immediately stood up and introduced enthusiastically: "These insect crystals are heirlooms left by my ancestors!"

Li Xuan glanced at the other items on the stall. Most of them were junk. In the past, they might have been collected as antiques, but with current technology, it is entirely possible to imitate antiques that are indistinguishable from the real ones. Therefore, these things are worthless.

"You brought this heirloom here to sell?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

The vicissitudes of life man said sadly: "Isn't this because something happened at home? I have no choice!"

“How much do you plan to sell it for?”

The stall owner held up five fingers and said, "This is the number!"

"Fifty Star Coins?"

"Hey handsome guy, what kind of interstellar joke are you playing at? If you don't want to buy it, forget it!"

The moment Li Xuan said this number, the stall owner's previous enthusiasm disappeared, as if he felt that the young man in front of him did not have much money.

Li Xuan looked at the weathered man who had returned to his seat. He took out the fourth-tier Shadow Wolf Demon Crystal and said to him, "I was just joking. How many of your Insect Crystals can I exchange for this Demon Crystal of mine?"

The stall owner only took a glance and realized that what Li Xuan had in his hand was real.

His expression changed again, and he wanted to take the demon crystal from Li Xuan's hand with a smile.

Li Xuan put it away and chuckled, "I can't give this to you!"

The stall owner immediately said, "I'll take a loss, how about we barter and exchange directly?"
