After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Gale also said, "Lin Da, just take in Miss Tasya. It's not gentlemanly to make a lady sad."

Jite, with his arms crossed, added, "Weakening the Crimson Adventure Group's combat power is beneficial for White Dove City. Having a powerful Star Rank is worth it."

The three took turns persuading him.

Standing to the side, Tasya's beautiful emerald pupils shimmered, making her look like a puppy trapped in a box and abandoned. Although she didn't speak, she stared at Lin Da with a heart-wrenchingly vulnerable gaze, fearing he would leave.

This reminded Lin Da of that rainy CG in the game.

Tasya, who was ordered to stand by at the door of a merchant's shop, stood in the rain for three days, ignoring the surprised glances of passersby as she waited for him.

The story had a continuation. If Tasya's favorability was below 80, the only option was to "Pat her head." If it was above 80, the second option, "Hug the girl," would appear.

Lin Da had chosen the latter.

Seeing Tasya now, Lin Da was reminded of that CG.

It was said that this plot had a hidden ending. If the player didn't choose any options within a minute, it would trigger a bad end where Tasya would leave the player's team and return to the Assassin Organization to resume her cold, monotonous, and perilous assassin life.

In a few months, she would fail in a mission, and her last wish before dying was to see the player once more.

In terms of loyalty, Tasya was among the top tier of all characters.

As Lin Da was in a dilemma, Lulu took his hand and said, "Please take in Tasya."

"Even you?"

"Yes. But I'm not asking for Tasya's sake," Lulu whispered, "Specter Adventure Group and the severely injured Mingli are both potential threats. Having Tasya join could strengthen the Phoenix Tail Flower Team's combat power."

Indeed, this objective factor was undeniable to Lin Da.

A 34-level veteran Star Rank, Tasya could probably handle Hulus on her own without any problems.

People repeatedly asked Lin Da.

Tasya was somewhat confused, clearly not expecting everyone to help her.

Lin Da looked at the crowd with a headache.

Three Star Rank members of the White Dove Adventure Group, Dawen of the Scarlet Adventure Group, and his own Lulu were all pleading with him to take in Tasya.

He was beholden to Abner and the others, Dawen was a top-tier Star Rank, and Lulu's analysis made sense.

Taking all these factors into account...

"Sigh."

Lin Da rubbed his temples reluctantly, "For everyone's sake, I'll keep her by my side."

The gloom on Tasya's face vanished instantly, and a hint of a smile appeared on her cool, beautiful face.

Everyone else smiled as well.

It was a happy outcome for all.

Phoenix Tail Flower gained a Star Rank, White Dove City's combat power increased, and Tasya's wish was fulfilled.

Apart from Dawen, who was somewhat bitter, everyone else got a satisfying outcome.

With small, excited steps, Tasya moved closer to Lin Da.

"However,"

Lin Da's next words were like a bucket of cold water thrown on Tasya.

"You can serve as a maid cleaning the house, temporarily living in my villa," he said.

"I'll have a look at the atmosphere of the Phoenix Tail Flower adventure team first. If you find it suitable, I welcome you to join. If you can't accept it here, feel free to return to the Crimson Adventure Group." Find adventures on empire

"Until you've made up your mind and are willing to follow me, I won't acknowledge you as a member of Phoenix Tail Flower."

In other words, there was an evaluation period for Tasya.

If she passed the evaluation, Lin Da would take her to the Adventurers' Guild to register as one of his team members.

Tasya said, "I understand..."

Dawen nodded, "That's fine. Let's do as Lin Da suggests. Tasya is a professional when it comes to cleaning; she's really good at it."

"I'm looking forward to it." Lin Da, accompanied by the members of his team, Lia, Isa, and others, headed to the street to hail a carriage.

They were going back to the villa for a celebration party to properly rejoice over the success of the Epic Monster subjugation.

Tasya stood there woodenly until Dawen patted her on the shoulder, snapping her out of it.

"Don't just stare, hurry up and follow. You're now Lin Da's maid, and a maid should be by her master's side, right?"

Dawen's face showed an unseemly smile, "Maybe when we meet in the Great Mystery Continent, we'll be competitors."

"Dawen, thank you," Tasya said.

Dawen waved it off, "Don't mention it, hurry up and catch up to Lin Da or they'll leave on the carriage."

Tasya nodded gently, lifted her skirt, and hurried after the man surrounded by girls at the front.

...

Once she got close, Tasya didn't quite know what to do.

The members of Phoenix Tail Flower crowded around Lin Da too closely, and she couldn't find a place for herself.

The arrangement implicitly revealed certain rules.

The closest to him were Monica and Lulu.

Lin Da's large hand held Monica's, like a father taking his daughter out.

On the other side was Lulu, carrying the unconscious Kafni.

Only further out were Isa and Lia.

Quietly trailing behind them was Tasya.

She was like a new employee who was unfamiliar with everything and felt awkward with the established staff members.

Tasya's heart ached as she looked at the two spots next to Lin Da that Monica and Lulu occupied.

Just how hard would she have to work to reach that place?

They soon stopped a carriage.

It was a small one, and due to the crowd, Tasya, who was at the end of the line, was left without a seat.

Tasya didn't mind, as she was used to standing.

However, Lin Da placed Big Lolita on his lap and patted the space beside him, "Take a seat. Standing in the carriage, what kind of image does that present? If the press gets a photo, they might spread news that the Phoenix Tail Flower Team leader is mistreating his team members."

"Can I really?" Tasya couldn't quite believe it; sitting next to Lin Da was a privilege rarely afforded even to the main members of the Primordial Adventure Team.
