Chapter 960 Paranoia

"Huh?" I scratched my hair and asked a question: "You just said that only the Rose Legion can compete with the Dwarf Guild. Does that mean that the Rose Legion and the Dwarf Guild are equally powerful?"

"Uh, I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear," Jin Siqi said: "Actually, it was the other four guilds who jointly fought against the dwarf guild. Three of them were directly crushed by the dwarf guild. Only the Rose Army survived because of the record keeping. The person is a secretary of the Legion of Roses. That person is very loyal to his guild both on the surface and in his heart, but he cannot record false history because of selfish desires, so in the end he had to write such a perfunctory result."

It turns out that this is history written with selfish intentions.

I chuckled in my heart.

Afterwards, I teased Jin Siqi: "Won't you feel guilty for exposing the dark history of your hometown in this way?"

"No," Jin Siqi said, "I am no longer a cadre of the Rose Army. Besides, this history is not a secret in the Rose Army. Even if it is heard by others, it will not have anything to do with it."

I smiled and looked up at the magic wall clock on the wall. It was almost half past twelve, so I asked Jin Siqi if she had eaten.

Jin Siqi shook her head: "Not yet, I have been dealing with some work details of the guild."

I listened and wondered: "What details of work require so much time to complete?"

Jin Siqi said: "The main reason is that the guild had to stop the operations of many departments due to lack of funds. Now that the funds are in place, it can be maintained for a long time, and those departments that have stopped operating can also be reopened."

"Uh" I scratched my hair and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was too stingy before."

"It's not your fault," Jin Siqi said, "My previous attitude towards you was also wrong. I should at least be gentler."

"Yeah~" I nodded: "You are right. You used to be really fierce. You were like a tigress. You bared your teeth when you saw me."

Jin Siqi rolled her eyes at me: "What I just said was just to give you a step."

I licked my old face and laughed.

After laughing, I asked her: "Do you want to eat first?"

Jin Siqi thought for a while: "Okay, where can we go to eat?"

"How about the airship?" I asked her: "There are a lot of dishes there, and you're not afraid of being disturbed."

Jin Siqi looked confused after hearing this: "Wouldn't it be too ostentatious to eat there all the time?"

"No," I shook my head and waved my hands, "No, no, I'm just going to the airship to have a meal. What's the point of showing off?"

"Okay then." Jin Siqi was still a little reluctant, but couldn't resist my insistence and reluctantly nodded in agreement.

When we arrived at the airship base, the supervisor saw me from afar, trotted over and said with a flattering smile on his face: "Mr. An Xiaoyi, are you going to take the airship today, or are you going to dine on the airship?"

"Dine."

"May I ask which cuisine you want to eat today? Is it Airy City cuisine, or Moonlight City cuisine? Or..."

I turned to Jin Siqi: "What kind of cuisine do you want to eat?"

Jin Siqi thought for a while: "Moonlight City cuisine, I really yearn for the food of the elves, and I always want to try it."

I nodded: "Then let's go to Moonlight City cuisine."

"Okay! Let's do it now, little one!" The supervisor trotted away again, heading towards the nearest airship.

I took Jin Siqi on the airship and came to the restaurant. I chose a seat in the corner. After I sat down, a waiter handed me two glasses of warm juice.

Jin Siqi seemed to be very thirsty. She drank a whole glass of juice in a few sips. After drinking it all, she realized that I was still looking at her across from her. She suddenly blushed and couldn't help but Lower your head.

I asked the waiter for another glass of juice. When the juice was handed to her, I smiled and said: "It's not a good thing to work too seriously. You must know how to balance work and rest, especially girls. Make more time to drink some water, otherwise your skin will be damaged." Deteriorated.”

Jin Siqi nodded, took the water glass again, and started tasting it in small sips this time.

I waved to the waiter on the side: "Put the juice here, and you can go down and rest."

Upon hearing this, the waiter placed the crystal jug containing juice on the table and left quickly.

Seeing that there was no one else in the restaurant, I asked Jin Siqi: "I have always wanted to ask you a question, but because of your previous hostile attitude towards me, I never asked it. Today I have the opportunity, you can listen to me A problem?"

Jin Siqi was startled for a moment, then nodded.

"I'm just curious, why are you so obsessed with the position of guild president?"

Jin Siqi was silent for a moment and said: "This is a piece of my past, it can be considered private."

Hearing this, I waved my hand hurriedly: "Sorry, I didn't expect this to be private. Since it's inconvenient to say it, I'd better not say it. Don't worry, I won't blame you. I understand. Everyone should have a little bit of themselves. Little secret, this is human nature."

After hearing this, Jin Siqi chuckled: "Did I ever say that this is a secret that cannot be told?"

"Ah?"

"Although this is indeed my privacy and cannot be discussed casually with outsiders, since you don't treat me as an outsider, then if I treat you as an outsider again, how stingy I will look," she sighed softly and continued. : “Actually, when I was very young, I didn’t have that much desire for power, and I didn’t even have much desire or pursuit to become an adventurer. My ideal at that time was to become a star and perform and sing in various towns. , won everyone’s cheers and applause, but this ideal was shattered when I was ten years old.”

Her eyes became dim, and her expression gradually dropped as she recalled: "My parents died at the hands of monsters in the underground city at the same time that year. In fact, all this can be avoided, but because the commander at the time was completely I refused to listen to dissuasion and forcibly fought against high-level monsters, which led to this tragedy. Since then, I have had an almost paranoid desire for the position of guild president. I hope to one day become the guild president and take responsibility. Don’t let anything tragic happen.”

At this point, she raised her head and said to me with twinkling eyes: "This is what I have always thought. Isn't it a little ridiculous?"

"No" I shook my head: "It's not funny at all."

"Really?" She was a little surprised.

"Of course it's true." I curled my lips: "I don't need to lie to you."

She breathed softly and said, "I was prepared to be laughed at by you, but I didn't expect that it would be completely useless."

"Please" I was a bit speechless: "Am I like that weirdo who makes fun of others no matter what?"
