Card Master Guide

The results of tonight's game are out.

Ukizakura's Amaterasu lost the game.

Shocked, astonished, and surprised, discussions on the Internet were overwhelming.

There are more than half of the hot spots, which are related to Jolena's "semi-announced boyfriend".

Some people can't accept the idol's announcement of their relationship, some people send blessings while eating lemons, and some people simply have the mentality of eating melons.

But these have little to do with the parties involved.

While there was an uproar on the Internet, Qiao Linna exited the stage amidst the shouts of mountains and tsunami, her thin waist, long legs and high ponytail disappeared into the shadow of the contestant passage.

‘The wound was deep, but fortunately no internal organs were injured...it needs to be treated and bandaged quickly. '

Looking down at the bloodstains cut by the Kusanagi sword, Qiaolinna pursed her lips, stretched out her hand and pushed open the door of the lounge, making a calm judgment.

'There is a medical box in the rest room, you can simply treat the wound first, and then use the "priestess" to treat it. '

After pushing open the door, Qiao Linna was slightly startled, only to see that Lin Xiao, Sigrid, and Chu Yun were already waiting in the lounge.

"Jolinna, your injury..." Sigrid looked at the bloody wound on Jolena's body with worried eyes.

"It will recover soon, you go out first." Qiao Linna said.

"I can treat you!" Sigrid was a hacker and a doctor.

Qiao Linna smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, I am more used to treating myself."

During Shaluo's travels, she was often injured. Fortunately, the "priestess" in the Tarot card was a card she obtained very early, which could provide "healing" ability.

Chu Yun looked at Lin Xiao, saw him nodding slightly, and patted Sigrid on the shoulder, motioning her to follow him outside.

Slap.

Chu Yun closed the door of the lounge.

Jolena's forehead was covered with fine sweat, she let out a breath, and turned her back to the still standing figure and said:

"Why don't you leave?"

"I'm actually a doctor." Lin Xiao said solemnly.

"Okay, I got it... so you go out quickly." Jolena said helplessly.

"Don't underestimate people, lie down, I'll help you bandage!"

"Hello!" Qiao Linna's red pupils were a little astonished, reflecting Lin Xiao who was walking, and then she was a little ashamed and angry.

How could you take advantage of others like this!

She was lying on the chair in the lounge almost with her shoulders pressed down.

Lin Xiao adjusted the back of the chair, used it as a simple operating table, and muttered:

"The scary thing about Amazono's sword is not that it is cut with a single knife, but that the place where it is cut will be filled with resentment from Yamata no Orochi, and the wound is difficult to heal. It is more reliable for me to deal with it..."

Qiao Linna stared at the watery ruby ​​eyes, lying stiffly on the back of the chair, staring at Lin Xiao's every move, without saying a word.

"There happens to be a medical kit here..." Lin Xiao finished his preparations and looked back at Qiao Linna, "Do you take it off yourself or should I do it?"

"Well..." Jolena whimpered unwillingly in her throat.

"Okay, don't dawdle, time is precious." Lin Xiao walked up to Qiao Linna and stretched out his hands.

"I'll take off..." Jolena said resignedly.

She took off her black and red blazer and waistcoat, and underneath it was a black Victorian corset.

Lin Xiao observed for a while, then gave up and asked: "Okay... where are the buttons on this thing?"

"Behind..." Qiao Linna's cheeks were so red that it was almost bleeding, she said softly, "You move slowly..."

"Don't worry, I won't touch the wound."

Lin Xiao glanced at Qiao Linna's lower abdomen.

Tian Congyun sword drew a knife and slashed, tearing a gap in the corsage, the flesh and blood at the wound was turned out, and the dripping blood stained the snow-white skin red.

Lin Xiao felt a little distressed. She probably had to brace herself just now to walk back to the waiting room with her head held high, instead of being carried back on a stretcher by the medical team of the race.

Qiao Linna noticed Lin Xiao's eyes, the red pupils flickered slightly, stretched out her hand and scratched his messy hair, smiled slightly, and said:

"I'm fine... Injuries are just commonplace, don't you too?"

"I usually kill the enemy in seconds, and I have no chance of getting hurt." Lin Xiao said expressionlessly.

Qiao Linna pulled the corner of her mouth, and the wound was in severe pain: "You bastard..."

Lin Xiao went around behind her and helped her take off the bloody bra that was stuck to the wound. Jolena closed her eyes and hissed coldly.

She was like a wounded white rabbit that was caught without a fight, her lower abdomen with the vest line was slightly undulating, and there was a deep wound a few inches above the navel, like a bloody centipede.

Lin Xiao didn't have the leisure and elegance to look around, frowned slightly, and said:

"I guessed right... The Kusanagi sword has the ability to prevent the wound from healing. It is the cursed sword taken from the corpse of Yamata no Orochi."

"Haven't you been defeated by me?" Qiao Linna insisted.

Lin Xiao turned a deaf ear and said methodically:

"I'll clean the wound first, it will hurt a little, then use the power of gluttony to remove the curse of the Kusanagi sword, then use the treatise on typhoid and miscellaneous diseases to stop the bleeding, and finally bandage..."

Lin Xiao suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Linna: "Is there any objection?"

Qiao Linna stared at Lin Xiao motionless just now, but now she came back to her senses and said with some embarrassment: "Of course I... have no objection."

There was saline in the medical kit, and Lin Xiao took the saline bottle to help Qiao Linna rinse. She didn't say a word, her eyes were closed, her eyelashes and eyebrows were trembling slightly.

The next step is to extract the curse that lingers on the wound. Lin Xiao's right palm lit up with a cluster of black light, carefully controlling the power of gluttony, and walked along Qiao Linna's wound.

Jolena's back shivered, as if a feather had passed her belly, she opened her eyes and stared at Lin Xiao who was engrossed.

"Does it hurt?" Lin Xiao raised his eyes.

Jolena shook her head.

"It's not that I don't know your temper... It's okay, the pain will be gone soon." Lin Xiaokuan said.

Qiao Linna was quiet for a moment, then nodded, and saw a simple scroll appearing in Lin Xiao's palm.

A healing power surged from the scroll, and the bleeding was successfully stopped, leaving only the last step of bandaging.

"I'll do it myself." Qiao Linna looked at the medical bandage in Lin Xiao's hand.

Lin Xiao didn't make a sound, leaned over to complete the bandage for Qiao Linna, and then heaved a sigh of relief:

"It should be fine now."

The sky had completely darkened, and the lounge was quiet, echoing the breathing of the two of them.

Lin Xiao raised his eyes and saw a different look in Qiao Linna's eyes.

The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, and Lin Xiao's eyes moved down involuntarily.

"Don't look at it," said Jolena, blushing.

"It depends on the fact that I've seen it all just now." Lin Xiao said confidently, "Now is the interest that should be paid."

"Cut..." Jolena bit her lip, stretched her hand to the shoulder strap, and said shyly, "Okay, okay..."

The girl with the high ponytail is in a mess... anyway, I've already identified him...

Lin Xiao didn't force it, and changed the subject: "I'm hungry, pack up and go have supper, your treat."

Jolena: "!??"

Corridor outside the living room.

Sigrid and Chu Yun stood on the left and right sides of the gate like two door gods.

The little secretary turned her head to look back from time to time. Chu Yun folded his arms and dangled a cigarette.

"I said, why do we have to stay here to eat dog food?" Sigrid said aggrievedly.

"Because it's worth it."

Chu Yun took a deep breath, and the smiling face of the former captain seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

"Everything before the end may be meaningless...but at least, the feelings between people are real." Chu Yun said.

"You talk like a philosopher sometimes, Raven." Sigrid blinked.

"It's because of Lin Xiao's influence, so it's just a secondary school." Chu Yun smashed out the cigarette butt, and said flatly, "Go back and continue investigating the bones and evil gods."

"Oh... the rest is over." Sigrid stretched her waist, "Work work!"

...

According to the agreement, two days later was the day to visit Jolena's father.

As the card master of the quasi-sanctuary, Qiao Linna needs two days to recover from her injuries.

The World Championship is still going on.

Unsurprisingly, Augustus defeated a strong enemy and advanced, and the duel between Jiang Shang and Fanshatian is about to kick off.

Although Jiang Shang has always acted like a fisherman, as the original No. 1 powerhouse in Zhongzhou, he has a record of defeating many "National Warriors".

From Lin Xiao's point of view, although Fanshatian has the legendary card 'Asura', his background is still a bit behind Jiang Shang.

Lin Xiao also got in touch with True Monarch Jinlong.

After being separated from Ying Long, Zhenjun Jinlong successfully lived the life of an ordinary person.

However, he still has the highest level of search authority in the Central Continent Alliance, and he can always find some strange knowledge on the Internet.

In the chat group, when it comes to profound knowledge, True Monarch Jinlong is considered unique.

In the past few days, the discussion on the relationship between epee people on the Internet has become more and more heated, making the gossip souls of the group members also burning.

After the @epee man got his personal approval, a series of 'lemon' emoticons appeared in the chat group.

Little Panda: "Today's dog food +1"

Xue Yindao: "Please don't post it, only when you post this kind of thing to show off, my heart hurts like a knife (tears*3)"

Du Gangang: " @Xue Yindao, don't go crazy here."

Ghost Bride: "(Licking Lemon)·Jpg"

"Strange, why haven't you seen the ghost bride being rough these few days?" The little panda suddenly noticed it and said, "I'm not used to it."

Xue Yindao laughed and said: "I know, I want to transform and get married!"

Ghost Bride sent a voice message.

Lin Xiao glanced at the screen, clicked on the voice, the words were beautiful and the voice was moving.

"Xue Yindao, I (beep) you (beep) #@!"

Lin Xiao coughed dryly.

The telegraph operator in the chat group belongs to yes.

After meeting the group and chatting with Jinlong Zhenjun about the current situation, Lin Xiao went offline.

Pack your luggage and prepare to go to the Federation with Jolena tomorrow.

Night fell.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the luxury hotel, gorgeous fireworks rose, symbolizing the opening of tonight's game.

The two sides facing off tonight are Jiang Shang and Fan Shatian, who will also decide the final four places.

Because he had to go to the Federation tomorrow, Lin Xiao didn't go to watch the game, but chose to stay in the hotel to watch the projection live broadcast.

Daifuku climbed ashore from the swimming pool on the balcony, his beard was wet, and his small eyes looked up at the sky, reflecting the beautiful fireworks.

The hotel room doorbell rang.

Lin Xiao opened the door, and saw Qiao Linna standing at the door with her left arm in her right hand.

"Tomorrow, don't be late," Jolena said.

"I will never forget such an important matter." Lin Xiao took a step back, "Come in and talk about it."

Jolena hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Excuse me."

She passed by Lin Xiao, her high ponytail twitching slightly.

Lin Xiao looked at her back and said, "How is your injury?"

"It's all right now..."

As if recalling the scene in the lounge that day, Jolena paused and said softly, "Thank you."

"You don't have to be so polite with me." Lin Xiao opened the refrigerator door and asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

"No need..." Jolena sat on the sofa with a somewhat awkward expression, "I'll leave after a while."

Lin Xiao took a bottle of mineral water, sat down beside Qiao Linna, looked at the projection screen, and said, "Should I no longer need to bandage your wound?"

"No, I'll bandage myself," Jolena said.

Lin Xiao let out an 'oh' and said, "This is very good."

Accompanied by the passionate and loud commentary on the projection screen, the two tacitly did not speak, and a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere enveloped the two of them.

"The game has begun." Lin Xiao said suddenly.

"Hmm." Qiao Linna looked at Lin Xiao's profile, "Who do you think will win?"

Lin Xiao stared at Fanshatian and Jiang Shang who appeared on the screen, and murmured:

"It should be Jiang Shang. I have quite confidence in him."

"Yes." Jolena agreed softly.

Lin Xiao turned his head: "You keep watching what I do."

"Sometimes I feel...you may be very hard." Qiao Linna paused, and said slowly: "As the strongest card master, I have assumed... the greatest responsibility."

"No. It's not hard." Lin Xiao's eyes flickered, and he said seriously: "I told you before, I decided to fight against Doomsday, not for others, but for myself..."

Before the words finished, Jolena put her cold hands on Lin Xiao's temples, and smiled softly: "Okay, I understand."

Lin Xiao was a little dizzy, and his body followed Qiao Linna's movements, lying on her lap.

"I don't like other people acting like a baby, but..." Qiao Linna pretended to be calm and said, "You are special."

"Special...important," Jolena said.

The fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, Lin Xiao's stiff shoulders gradually relaxed, he rested on Qiao Linna's legs, stared at the projection screen, and said in a low voice:

"Occasionally this... seems to be quite good."

Lin Xiao felt a hand gently caressing her hair, and Qiao Linna's calm voice came: "Occasionally...you can also rely on me."

"Can't it last forever?" Lin Xiao greedily inhaled the fragrance of Qiao Linna's body.

"No." Qiao Linna stared at Lin Xiao: "Because you are special to this world."

Lin Xiao smiled dumbly: "You really think highly of me."

"A knight does not go on a journey to save a princess," Jolena said, "but if the knight falls, the princess will take up his sword and become a new knight."

"What a wayward princess." Lin Xiao said.

"At least you are with me...Lin Xiao, I..."

Qiao Linna is like a kitten letting go of her guard, approaching Lin Xiao step by step, but if he feels a little unhappy, she will turn around and run away, like an oyster opening its shell in warm sea water, revealing the softness in its heart, and putting itself in the prey. the gaze of the reader.

"I like you," she said softly.

Jolena was suddenly hugged tightly.

On the projection screen, the commentator congratulated Jiang Shang on his successful promotion, and the sound of fireworks rose outside the hotel.

Lin Xiao hugged the girl's soft body, feeling her head resting on his shoulder, her body trembling slightly as if afraid.

What is she afraid of?

Are you afraid that I will leave her alone, afraid that I will walk too fast and too fast to keep up with me, or afraid of the end of the world that will come?

Or maybe, in fact, these are not important. The warmth within reach is more real than the illusory fear.

Lin Xiao just hugged his arms tighter, and said softly in a voice that only two people could hear:

"Tomorrow, I will return to the Federation with you."

The room was pitch black, and the two figures on the sofa were close together, only the projection screen was emitting fluorescence.
