There was a trait or desire in Xing Anlin stronger than loyalty...
Wasn't that just showing off?!
If there were an Authority of Showing Off in this world, then Xing Anlin would definitely be the perfect vessel chosen by heaven!!
"Because I activated the special talent quest [Seven Deadly Sins], I was directly bound to the Authorities of [Desecration] and [Darkness]."
"And Liu Wenjian became a God's Chosen One with the Authority of [Pride] because he caught the Demon God of Pride's eye."
"In both cases, it was because we possessed traits better suited to other Authorities, not because we weren't loyal enough to Mr. Lu Li."
"So it made sense that Xing Anlin, with a few 'extraneous thoughts,' failed to obtain the Authority of 'Loyalty'..."
Lin Qinfeng muttered soundlessly to herself, uncertain whether she should reveal Xing Anlin's true nature in front of Babayak, an "outsider."
But just as she hesitated, Xing Anlin himself seemed intent on glossing over the matter and silently sped up the conversation.
"Uh, well, now that my curiosity's satisfied, let's stop dragging this out and get straight to the point, old man!"
"But let me make this clear first—I don't care about the details of how to complete the time loop or save Brother Li's life."
"I only have one demand!"
"The rescue operation has to be high-profile and spectacular!"
"Otherwise, there's no way I'm going!"
Babayak and the warriors of the Loyalty Warband: "???"
Lin Qinfeng and Liu Wenjian: "..."
Looks like they had misunderstood earlier.
When it came to showing off, Xing Anlin had remained true to himself from beginning to end!
And he had absolutely no intention of hiding it!
The reason he had sped up the conversation earlier was entirely because he wanted to get to the showing-off part sooner!
