Chapter 312: Cheat
As for why Lin Xiao was going to so much trouble for Yao Zi, Elena only got the answer after interrogating him when they got home.
Was it because he desired her beauty?
Was it because he was jealous of her bloodline?
Or was he simply interested in magic that doesn’t receive a lot attention?
It was of course not the first two reasons, it was a bit of the third… Lin Xiao was someone who stayed home all the time and liked anything to do with magic. Elena knew that from a long time ago, but ever since his magic improved by leaps and bounds, as he learned more powerful magic, his interest waned. There was a sense of loneliness from being too strong, now with Yao Zi, it was like he was a kid that found a new toy. How could he leave it without thoroughly investigating her bloodline’s power?
Not just that, there was another crucial reason he wanted to get on her good side and make friends with those siblings, the chosen one.
He heard Snow mention before that Greenton believed Yao Zi was the one from the prophecy and she had the power to save the world.
At that time, Lin Xiao was puzzled and wanted to ask more, but Snow didn’t want to say any more about it. Since he also found it troublesome, he left it at that. But Lin Xiao has never forgotten, and now that he has a chance to get closer to her, he wouldn’t easily let go of it.
He wanted to help Elena find the traitor so he would make an enemy of the Venus Society, if Yao Zi was the chosen one, there was no disadvantage to getting close to her. When Yao Zi becomes powerful, then he could also benefit from that.
