Chen Rui did that because he thought about it seriously. He had to go to the mine anyway, so might as well do it. He received a secret message from Royce last night. The incident of Princess Retail Store had already made Joseph suspected him. If he stayed in the Dark Moon longer, it might be even more inconvenient.

Although Mountain Xilang was dangerous, it wasnt comparable to the Silent Night Wetland. With his Higher Demon strength, there shouldnt be a problem to protect himself. Whats more, his true purpose was the big bulk of auras from the waste ores. Mine officer the mines hadnt changed much in recent years anyway, so he didnt need to produce any result in a short time.

As for Aruxs War Contract, he could use the wyvern to sneak back. With such an alibi, no one would suspect Aguile and Chen Rui were the same people.

Chen Rui!

Shea got up suddenly, but Joseph spoke first, Good! Indeed a talent that Princess Royal and I value! If you need anything, tell me. Ill fully support you!

Shea frowned, Chen Rui, the time you spent in the Dark Moon is still too short. You dont understand the dangers of the mine. Besides, youre too weak. I dont want to make the mines situation worse.

Im not afraid of danger; Im willing to work for Your Royal Highness! Chen Rui had made up his mind to get auras at the mines. His fanatic gaze was looking atSheas beautiful face with an impassioned look, but in his heart, Your Royal Highness was changed to auras.

Now, the few demons at the sides could tell that the reason why the new secretary was willing to sacrifice was entirely due to his admiration for Princess Royal. However, although Your Royal Highness was extremely beautiful, she was also known for her coldness and ruthlessness. How could a tiny human move her?

Some of them had richer imagination, thinking that since Joseph had always been pleasing Princess Royal before this. When he knew that Shea had an admired secretary at her side, he was filled with jealousy. Thus, while weakening Princess Royals strength, he also cruelly sent his potential rival in love to death.

Princess Royal, since Chen Rui is willing to go, why not give him a chance? Joseph glanced at Chen Rui with surprise and said, In order to express my sincerity of recommending, if Chen Rui can manage the problems that plagued Mountain Xilang for decades, Id recommend him again to be the sheriff.

The sheriff had always been General Alans part-time job. When he heard Josephs words, Alan was angered and stared at Joseph fiercely. Yet, Joseph acted like he didnt notice at all.

This proposal reminded everyone of the big incident that stirred up the city over the past few days. Surely, the sheriff and the financial officer were hostile. In fact, it was considered as Alans fault as he cheated at the arena. However, Alans loss was also the biggest, since he lost a Higher Demon.

Of course, no one thought that Chen Rui could return alive to be the sheriff. In the eyes of most people, this human was already a dead person.

If thats the case, lets write it down as evidence. Chen Ruis words got everyones attention again. As Sir Joseph just told me to tell you if I need anything. Ive never been to Mountain Xilang, so I need a magic map copy of the entire Dark Moon, a magic eye compass, a torch ring, 10 fluorescent stones

Chen Rui said a dozen items in one breath and looked at Joseph embarrassingly at the end, That should be all. I dont know if sir would keep your promise?

These things seemed to be the preparation for the trip to Mountain Xilang, but there were magic items and magic materials. Not only he could collect tiny interest before going to Mountain Xilang, but he could also annoy Joseph a little. If the magic store wasnt robbed, these were nothing for him. However, these things were robbed by Alan now. Of course, the scapegoat of robbing the magical material was also kindly taken by the sheriff.

Joseph was stunned as his words out of politeness was taken seriously by the human. Yet, since he promised in front of so many people and his opponent agreed to go to the mine, these little things naturally didnt matter. It was just like buying his life.

Thats not a problem. I will send someone to deliver them to the masters lab. Ill make sure theyre of the highest quality equipment and items. Joseph seemed happier, As for the paperwork, you should draft it yourself. Princess Royal and everyone else are witnesses.

Chen Rui wrote them down in triplicate, then and the two signed their name on them. Joseph took his copy. He smiled and said, So, our minE officer, please prepare yourself and go to Mountain Xilang as soon as possible.

Chen Rui nodded. Shea looked at the paper in her hand calmly. She didnt say anything, and she was still showing her cold expression that never changed.

On the road outside the palace.

Alan clenched his teeth and said to Joseph, Why did you gamble my sheriffs post! Was your sincerity last night a fluke?

It turned out that Joseph secretly met Alan last night. Under Josephs superb diplomatic skills, Alan, who initially hated Josephs guts extremely had reconciled with him. The magic equipment and others were considered as compensation for Mikas accidental death. Both sides also reached an important conclusion. Theyd continue to pretend to be discordant to paralyze Sheas faction.

However, Alans anger today wasnt fake for cooperation, but it was from the bottom of his heart. Clearly, Joseph gambling with his sheriffs position truly caused his anger.

Joseph looked like he knew everything, and he asked calmly, If I didnt do that, how do we continue to act like were fighting? Dont you want to watch that human dies step by step?

Alans anger was slightly calmed, then Joseph added, Or you really think that the human can come back from Mountain Xilang? Are the demonic beasts and bandits that you mentioned there just a fluke?

Alan also responded at that time, Thats right, even if he isnt dead, we can send someone to kill him. Well just say that hes killed by demonic beasts or bandits!

My friend, you finally understood. Joseph smiled slightly, Now, the items in the magic store have all been given to you. The items that the human mentioned just now, I dont have it with me, so I have to depend on you.

Hmph, whatever map or compass is useless for me anyway. Yet, I dont have fluorescent stones, so you have to find a way! Although they were reconciled on the surface, the thorn in Alans heart wasnt pulled out after all. As he said, he ignored Joseph and strode away.

Looking at Alans back, dissatisfaction and contempt appeared for a moment in Josephs eyes, but he still didnt say anything.

In the council hall, Chen Rui was the only one left.

Shea kept staring at him and the invisible pressure made Chen Rui very uncomfortable. After a long time, the iceberg princess finally said, Why?

Thats because I really want to go to Mountain Xilang. Thats the truth. Chen Rui honestly replied.

Truth? The position of sheriff is indeed important to the Dark Moon, but why did you bet with your own life? In the face of absolute power, wisdom can hardly play a role, so you have no chance to win this time. You should be very clear about the dangers at Mountain Xilang. If you fail, it means death.

Chen Rui understood that wisdom was indeed nothing in the face of absolute strength. Thus, when necessary, hed use strength to overwhelm strength.

Rest assured. I will come back. Actually, I wanted to say that this is part of the grand masters test.

This excuse is too bad. Shea shook her head, I dont understand; I really dont understand. Perhaps this could be understood as a means for you to move me?

Could be understood? Isnt that deduction Chen Ruis face was stagnant Im answering honestly, but this girl simply doesnt believe.

Since the beginning of the misunderstanding in the garden last time, this beautiful misunderstanding had been going on. However, as a healthy male thats wrong, as a normal man, it was inevitable to have some feelings for the beautiful female boss. Besides, being able to witness Sheas rare smile or hearing a plain concern, it felt really good.

However, under the powerful deduction bloodline of the Lucifer Family, he was playing the role as admirer passively most of the time.

As I said, its for myself. I cant help if you dont believe me. Chen Rui sighed, and he didnt muddle through by expressing admiration.

Shea shook her head, If you lost your life, what can you do even if you moved me?

Can I truly move you? Chen Ruis heart moved, and he asked subconsciously. Jesus, I truly didnt scheme that.

Is there any actual meaning between moving or not moving? Shea sighed, Actually, with your wisdom, it should be clear that were absolutely impossible. Youve gained my trust, but everything stops here. Maybe I should implement Old Gausss proposal to retain your talents by the charm of playing hard to get. However, Im not doing that. To be honest, you give me a very special feeling. I havent had this feeling for a long time. I even thought that Ive forgotten how to feel it, this feeling its like

As Shea said this, her initial expressionless face had a hint of movements; it was slightly trembling. Finally, it returned to the usual poker face.

Perhaps this feeling is friendship. Chen Rui added. I never expect Old Gauss to have such a suggestion. Hes such a good man. Its too bad the boss doesnt like the idea.

Although there was a little regret in his heart, there was more fulfillment and touch. He knew that Athena had feelings for him, but probably it was just a bit; Alice was more like curious and pranks. As for Shea he wouldnt be narcissistic enough to think that the Demon Realms beauty would like him for no reason. For her to be confessing, it was quite surprisingly already.

This should be the first time since she became the lord.

Perhaps its a pity for a dying person, perhaps its for him to stop fantasizing but confess is a confess.

Friends? I dont know, maybe. Sheas eyes gradually cooled down. Im not only the lord of Dark Moon, but also the descendant of Lord of Midnight Sun, who carries heavy responsibilities. This word is a luxury for me. For you, its bad luck. I dont want to discuss this anymore. Youve obstinately signed the papers just now. Apart from escaping from the Dark Moon, you can only go to the mine. Have you made up your mind?

Ive made up my mind. Chen Rui nodded firmly, Ill go to the mine.

Then, no matter what method you use, you have to endure for half a year! After half a year, even if theres isnt any accomplishment, I can still use the privilege to transfer you back. Joseph cant say anything even if he has the evidence.

Chen Rui was calculating. If its half a year, I can go to the Silent Night Wetland. However, the prerequisite is to pass Aruxs challenge and further improve my strength.

Half a year shouldnt be a problem. I do need to go for the grand masters inheritance. Now I can solve the problem along the way. Ill also take the wyverns with me. By the way, I can also convince Aguile to secretly escort. After all, I have a symbiotic contract with him. If Im dead, hell also die.

The symbiotic contract reminded Shea and she asked, The wyvern should be fine, but Aguile will fight Arux in about a month! Arent you afraid that hell lose? Your lives are already connected.

Thats right. It is really connected. Chen Rui smiled slightly, and his smile was full of confidence.

He wont lose.

Shea stared at him for a moment, but she didnt ask more about Aguile. She took off a ring from her hand and waved her hand. The ring slowly flew to Chen Rui and floating in front of him.
