The school tournament had a high status in the Long Xuan Empire. Even if they weren't a student of the various schools, they would still be concerned about it. Almost the second day after the end of the game, the news of the Warlock's victory had spread in every inch of land of Long Xuan Empire.

However, Du Lang had never thought that he had already met that very same Warlock before.

"Yes..." Shen Yanxiao honestly answered.

Du Lang's expression was very rich, and the six wolves' expressions were equally splendid.

The way they looked at Shen Yanxiao became complicated. The successive information they got made it difficult for them to bear.

Shen Yanxiao waited long for Du Lang's response.

She hoped that Du Lang and the other members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps could accept her ident.i.ty as a Warlock, so that they could continue to cooperate. But if they could not accept it, then this would just become an empty talk.

She did not need Du Lang and their half-hearted and reluctant cooperation, what she needed was a sincere cooperation.

Otherwise, in a place as dangerous as the Barren Land, she absolutely could not rely on companions whom she did not trust.

It took awhile for Du Lang to recover and go back to his normal mental state.

"I was surprised. I was surprised at your ident.i.ty and the task you proposed." Du Lang slowly opened his mouth.

“As far as I am concerned, I'm happy to take over your task. No matter what your status is now and regardless of your profession, I'm very grateful to you for the all the things you've given us before and I will always cherish you as a friend. But this is a matter of great importance, building a city in the Barren Land is not something that can be accomplished overnight. As you said, this is a long-term task and in that place, everywhere is dangerous. Though I am the head of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps, I can't make the decision alone. I'll discuss this task with the other members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps, and we'll vote to decide whether or not we'll take this task.”

Du Lang said it very sincerely. As he said, he was the head of the team. He has nearly a hundred brothers under his command. He could go in the Yellow Spring if he wanted to. But he could not pull his own gang of brothers down just because of his own liking.

"I understand, I'll wait for your answer." Shen Yanxiao laughed, Du Lang's att.i.tude made her very happy. She did not misjudge this man.

Du Lang got up and nodded at Shen Yanxiao. He called the six wolves and came to the backyard. He gathered all the members and told Shen Yanxiao's task to all of them.

When they learned that the little beauty who had come in a moment ago had actually lived with them for some time, everyone was dumbfounded.

However, what Du Lang said next completely confused them.

Shen Yanxiao's Warlock ident.i.ty and the task of building a city in the Barren Land was placed before them.

The option of taking this risky task or rejecting it, was up to their hands.

There were only a few mercenaries who dared to set foot in that forbidden area. The members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps had only heard some rumors about that place and had never truly been there before.

To build a city in a place where the demons ran rampant, was strange as it sounds.

The mercenaries were quite. In the face of such a difficult choice, they hesitated.

Shen Yanxiao stood at the entrance of the backyard. She waited silently as she watched the quiet mercenaries.

Regardless of their choices, she would accept it. After all, although there was friends.h.i.+p between them, they had not reached the point where they would live and die together.
