"Let's talk!"

Long Haoyu sat on the edge of the rooftop, took out two fruits from the ring, threw one towards Lin Xin, and ate the other himself.

Lin Xin took the fruit and followed Long Haoyu to sit on the edge of the rooftop, somewhat unable to understand what Long Haoyu was doing at this time.

"Boss, just tell me what you have to say, you are so weird." Lin Xin took a bite of the apple and asked anxiously.

"I remember that you don't know how to attack magic. You also said this. Do you plan to continue on this path?"

Long Haoyu asked calmly, "Then, do you plan to continue like this for the rest of your life and not practice attack magic?"

Lin Xin's expression changed slightly, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat. "Boss, what do you mean by this?"

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about Demon Hunt Squad in the future and understanding some things in advance." Long Haoyu replied.

Lin Xin's expression suddenly dropped, and the apple in his mouth suddenly didn't taste that good anymore.

After a moment, his emotions were extremely complicated, and he sighed heavily, "Boss, I think I understand what you mean."

"I can't attack magic, and I also have reasons why I don't want to practice attack magic. Maybe I'm not suitable to join your Demon Hunt Squad, boss!"

"Although Boss, you just said that you would use unconventional methods to select me, but now that I think about it, I still seem to lack the qualifications to join the Demon Hunt Squad that you will form in the future."

The tone was very heavy, and Lin Xin's mood became even more lost as all the words were said.

"Are you thinking that because I want to choose Cai'er and then you, I want to squeeze you out through this method?" Long Haoyu asked in return.

Lin Xin shook his head and said, "No, boss, if you had such an idea, you would not have made such a bet in the first place. But, boss, if you want to form Demon Hunt Squad in the future, you definitely need to consider the entire Demon Hunt Squad first."

"Strictly speaking, I can only be regarded as having strength but no corresponding attack methods. I will only be a drag on the battlefield."

Long Haoyu smiled slightly and patted Lin Xin gently on the shoulder, "It would be best if you didn't think about these aspects. What you said is indeed right. After I make the bet, I will definitely fulfill it."

"But just like you said, I need to consider the entire Demon Hunt Squad, and the reason why I mentioned these things to you is because I know your past stories, which are the specific reasons you mentioned."

Lin Xin suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Long Haoyu in disbelief. Long Haoyu actually knew the reason why he didn't want to practice attack magic?

I just mentioned it in passing. I had never said anything specific before. How did this secret get leaked?

"You have special means to detect other people's cultivation. Naturally, I also have special means to know some things about you."

Long Haoyu said casually, "For example, if you Innate Internal Spiritual Power are 70 points, I also know these things."

Lin Xin took a deep breath and said in surprise, "Boss, how can you be so perverted? Do you even call this a special ability?"

"Let's not talk about whether we call it a special ability or not. Let's talk about what happened to you first." Long Haoyu whispered, "Before I talk about what happened to you, I will also tell you the story of me and Haochen."

Lin Xin was speechless and sat quietly next to Long Haoyu, looking like he was listening attentively.

Long Haoyu said slowly, "My mother didn't want Haochen and I to become knights at first. She just wanted to watch our two brothers grow up healthily."

"There is no way, Haochen and I have unswervingly chosen to embark on the path of knights, but even so, my mother has said that she hopes Haochen and I will first ensure our own safety no matter what happens."

"In Haochen and I's hearts, our mother is the greatest and the person who loves us the most. She can be our spiritual harbor when Haochen and I are very tired."

"The same thing actually applies to you. If you haven't thought about joining Demon Hunt Squad, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to attack magic. After all, your identity as Demon Apothecary is enough to shine."

"However, if you choose to join Demon Hunt Squad, then you need to consider whether your parents also want to join Demon Hunt Squad when their son cannot attack magic."

Lin Xin was silent, with a complicated expression on his face.

At first, he didn't quite believe Long Haoyu's statement that he knew about his affairs, but as Long Haoyu revealed his own affairs, he finally mentioned whether his parents also wanted to see him say this.

At this moment, he completely believed that Long Haoyu really had the special ability to know his past.

But facing Long Haoyu's question, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Those things back then were nightmares that lingered in his mind. He didn't want to learn attack magic because of those nightmare-like things back then.

Long Haoyu noticed the complexity of Lin Xin's expression and continued, "From another perspective, you can also think about why your parents wanted to study it in the first place, which eventually led to a tragedy."

"Their fundamental purpose is to make greater contributions to the Human Alliance. They can sacrifice themselves for the sake of mankind and so that future generations will not have to continue to suffer from the erosion of war."

"If they find out that you end up joining Demon Hunt Squad because of their affairs, and then lose your life when you can obviously survive because you don't know how to attack magic."

"Do you think this is something they want to see?"

Long Haoyu's words hit Lin Xin's chest like a heavy hammer.

The current questioning was like a giant hand holding his neck. Lin Xin felt that it was hard to breathe.

"I'm very sorry to mention your parents, but from now on you will be a member of my Demon Hunt Squad and my brother for life."

"So I have to mention these things, because I can't guarantee that everything will be as I expected, and I don't want to wrap you in that straw mat with my own hands in the end."

"You should be able to understand how I and our Demon Hunt Squad companions would feel if I wrapped you in that straw mat in that situation."

Long Haoyu took a deep breath and continued.

Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. Even if he knows the final outcome, he cannot guarantee that Lin Xin will not be in danger due to the butterfly effect.

Being shrouded in horse leather is the honor of a warrior, but it is the sorrow of being a brother.

If possible, he will do everything possible to prevent these things in advance and nip uncertainty in the cradle.

At this time, Lin Xin has these uncertainties, and he wants to control these uncertainties in advance.

Long Haoyu caught the change in Lin Xin's expression, waited for some time and continued, "I'm not forcing you, I just want to talk to you about these things."

"You don't have to give me an answer right away. I can give you enough time to think about it. It's just that I want to make corresponding arrangements after I know your final decision."

"My wish for our future Demon Hunt Squad is very simple. As many people as there were when we were founded, it is best to always have this many people."

"Go to the battlefield together, and leave the battlefield together..."
